CHAPTER XXI

When you come out of the cold drink shop, you will see a two-color tram passing in front of you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I motioned for Yang Renjie to follow, and beckoned: "Driver, please stop the car!" ”

The driver slowly parked the car on the side of the road, and Yang Renjie and I got into the car one after the other. The conductor standing at the door took the change I took out with one hand and tore two tickets for me with the other. When the driver saw that we had already gotten to the station and were stable, he held the electric switch, and the tram slowly moved forward again in the sound of the "ding bell".

All the windows are wide open. As the train starts, the air that had been stagnant flows and you can feel the weak and strong air flow on your cheeks. I stood on the tram, the wind blowing softly, blowing my bangs and blowing my skirt.

As the train runs quietly, the streetside gradually reveals itself. I looked out the window at the rows of houses and the constant flow of people, which kept receding and receding and changing into new looks and faces in my line of sight. After a few days of not seeing each other, the familiar street scene will change its appearance. Like me, this ancient city is constantly growing, but no matter how it changes, it will always maintain its original flavor. Suddenly, I had the feeling that my life was just like this train, no matter how fast or slow it was, no matter how fast or slow it was, no matter how stop or go, it couldn't stop the pace of progress. Yes, inadvertently, my life has changed for the better. I'm now working a steady job and I'm starting to have a little bit of my own savings. I've made some new friends, and I'm meeting different people and learning different things every day. I've grown a little taller, and my eyebrows and eyes in the mirror are a little more stretched. And because of Yang Renjie's participation and participation, my life has a little sweet taste, and I am also living happier. Fate is gradually smiling at me, and the hardships or misfortunes I have experienced will gradually fade away. One day, I will be like many others and get the happiness I deserve. When I think of this, I can't help but smile at the corners of my lips.

looked a little sideways, but I saw Yang Renjie beside me looking at me intently. I couldn't help but feel hot on my face, and said slightly: "What are you looking at! ”

His eyes were still unblinking: "It's so beautiful!" He sighed softly, "You're smiling, your eyes are shining, your whole face is bright." Yuzhen, you're so good-looking! Although you have not made a sound, I look at it like this, and it feels like your eyes are talking! ”

I tried to suppress the upward corners of my lips and said to him, "Really? So tell me, what are my eyes talking about? ”

Yang Renjie smiled: "They are saying: Look at me, I am the most dazzling girl here!" ”

I stuck out my tongue and whispered, "Pure nonsense, I'm not narcissistic to that extent!" ”

"I'm not talking nonsense." Yang Renjie hurriedly explained: "Of course you are unconscious, but you didn't pay attention to how many people in the car were secretly looking at you from the moment you got into the car." Good things always catch everyone's attention, young and old. When you stop here, you are revealing your beauty to everyone. Actually, this makes me a little unhappy, you are so beautiful, I don't want you to show others, I want to hide you! ”

"Look at your sweet mouth! Did you wipe honey before going out today? I pursed my lips, stretched out my hand to pull his head away, and said, "No one will see it, and you will not be allowed to see it!" Look out the window, the scenery over there is better than mine! ”

Yang Renjie turned his head, approached me, and said softly: "In my heart, no matter how good the scenery is, it is not as good as you!" ”

I turned my head, touched my hot cheeks, and smiled secretly.

------------------------------------

The tram traveled to the bustling Jing'an Temple Road. Originally opened as the first batch of roads to cross the border, Jing'an Temple Road is now the main road that runs through the western area of the Shanghai Public Concession. There is an upscale residential complex built by the British as a result of the Independence Garden Villas, and a famous shopping street where the famous Paramount Ballroom is located. Jing'an Temple Road is becoming more and more prosperous. It's hard to imagine that not long ago, it was just a field path leading to Jing'an Temple, and now it is so lively.

Yang Renjie and I got out of the car, and in front of us was a huge brown building. The exterior of the ground floor of the building is decorated with black granite, and the body of the building is like a staircase that rises straight into the sky, and when viewed from below, it seems to be too tall to see the head.

"This is the place you want to take me here? Four Elements Savings Club Building? What's there to do here? Yang Renjie asked.

"This is the first skyscraper that we Chinese have financed and built on the basis of the Empire State Building in the United States. Spectacular, right? "I look at the building and feel pride.

"It's spectacular!" Yang Renjie said: "I've been here. When it was first built, my brother-in-law was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony here. When I heard that this building has 24 floors and is known as the 'first building in the Far East', I was curious to follow along. Yang Renjie followed my gaze and looked up: "It's just that I look at the height of the building, I don't think there's anything particularly surprising." ”

"What's the hurry, follow me." I smiled as I walked and said, "If you've been here before and haven't found such a good place, then you've really come for nothing." ”

The four banks of Jincheng, Yanye, Zhongnan and Mainland occupy less than one-third of the floors of the Savings Club Building, and the upper floors of the building are currently idle and have not yet been used. Since banks handle foreign business, there are quite a few correspondents. The two of us went straight to the elevator and went up one by one.

"Do you want to go up that high? It's empty, there's nothing left. Yang Renjie said.

"Who said nothing?" I smiled and said, "A few days ago, I followed our boss to the bank to do some errands. Out of curiosity about the building, I walked around, and I found such a good place. ”

The elevator stopped on the twenty-second floor. When the elevator doors opened, there was a large empty field supported only by reinforced concrete columns. The entire floor is not even divided into separate rooms, but is all connected. The windows are far away, and the only light is not enough to illuminate the entire space, so it looks a bit dark. The walls were plastered with only a thin layer of lime, and there was a choking smell of building materials.

Yang Renjie coughed lightly, but the echo in the huge open space startled him. It was quietly empty, and the footsteps of both of us walking could not help but be lightened.

Yang Renjie said in a low voice: "This place is empty and weird. It's hard for a girl to be so bold as you to be able to walk here. ”

I whispered to him, "Are you cool this time?" ”

"It's cool. The hairs are standing on end. Yang Renjie pretended to complain.

I laughed: "Come with me, it's almost there!" ”

After a few steps, I walked around three cement pillars and was greeted by a sturdy gate. Without hesitation, I stepped forward and pushed the door open with both hands. In an instant, the light shone in directly, and the sunlight rushed in like a floodgate, shaking so much that people couldn't open their eyes immediately.
