That day, in the subway, Mr. Lu Xiaoguang asked me, "Why do you want to protect those little cubs?" ”

I said, "Just let them hug like this." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lu Xiaoguang said: "They are like this, which makes me feel uncomfortable. ”

I said, "They are not ignoring your presence. They are unaware of your existence. ”

I said, "You don't exist." In their senses, not only you, but the whole world, does not exist. ”

Lu Xiaoguang grunted and said, "I know." I just don't want them to make me non-existent. ”

He looked at me.

The train is almost at another platform. The lights on the platform were shining brightly and dimly on my face.

He said, "Don't you feel bad in your heart? ”

He said, "When you suddenly become someone else's non-existent? ”

I said, "It's uncomfortable." However, all existence, in the final analysis, will not exist for long. So, forget it. ”

He said: "For this kind of bad customs, just say a little bit, forget it? ”

I said, "Forget it." ”

I said, "Youth is short. Love is short. Life is short. We spent less time in this subway. ”

I said, "It's not our world in the blink of an eye." In the blink of an eye, everyone turned into white bones. ”

I said, "Okay, let them hug like this." No matter how hard it is, it can only hold for a short time. They will also be separated. Just a little later than us. ”

Lu Xiaoguang reached into his pocket and touched his cigarette.

I said, "Smoking is not allowed on the subway." Get off the train and exit the station and smoke again. ”、

He said, "Damn, I'm jealous of them. ”

I said, "Don't think about jealousy. Think about envy. ”

I said, "In the course of life, it is not easy to hug like this. We are all fragile and fragile beings. Fulfill them for a while. It's just a very humble wish. ”

We finally got off at the station after 6 minutes.

When we got out of the car, the couple was still sitting there cuddling to each other.

We stood on the platform and watched the train start.

Then, like a gust of wind, the train carried the carriage in which the couple was located, and sank into the deep darkness of the tunnel. It's like time carries countless such couples into the darkness of death.

Lu Xiaoguang said: "There must be a very warm person who has hugged you so tightly." ”

"Then," he said, "you must have lost him." ”

"You've melted," he said, "and you've frozen. You have experienced both the two heavens of ice and fire. ”

He looked at me and said, "So, you will have such mercy. ”

I didn't speak.

He said, "Okay. You're really not the kind of girl who has never been in the world. ”

I'm certainly not a little girl anymore.

My antiquity is far beyond his imagination.

After the project was completed, Lu Xiaoguang left.

Since then, I haven't reached out to him.

Later, we also met once in a small town in Pingba, southwest of the country, and had two meals to catch up.

That was years ago. I chose this town for my vacation alone, lived in an inn in the town, went out every day to go shopping, drink tea, listen to music, look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and ride horses to run around the river beach at will.

On that day, I wore a sun hat and stood absentmindedly at the intersection of several streets in Pingba Town, surrounded by endless shops, lots of cafes, and flowing water along both sides of the flower-blooming road. At your feet is a bluestone pavement, and in the distance is a towering pagoda. I stood there, looking at the gate opposite, and at the horses near the gate, watching their tails wag. I stared blankly at the pagodas in the distance, not knowing what it meant for them to appear in the field of life. Many local women gathered around and asked if they needed to buy some silver jewelry. It was at that moment that I felt my arm being pulled tightly. I turned my head sideways and saw Lu Xiaoguang's swarthy face and big black and white eyes. He tilted his head to look at me.

He grinned and said, "It's been a long time, why are you still so depressed?" Lost your wallet? ”

He said, "Come with me to dinner." I'm in for a treat. “

As he spoke, he pulled me by the hand without saying a word, and strode towards the alley in front of him.

We ate local food together in a small restaurant in the alley.

He asked me, "Do you still smoke?" “

I shook my head. I asked him, "What about you?" “

He said, "It's long gone." My wife won't let me in, and I won't let me in if I smoke. The lion roars in Hedong, it's amazing! “

I was surprised and said, "You're married?" “

He laughed a few times. He said: "Of course, how can I be such a good-looking man, how can I be idle all the time." “

He said that the new lady met while he was on a road trip. At that time, the two of them scraped each other's cars. In the process of dealing with the failure, the two fell in love at first sight. The new lady has a gentle personality, delicate feelings, is very good at cooking, and also does writing work, with fair skin and a tall figure.

I asked him if he had brought his new lady with him. He said that he had, in fact, he had come on vacation with his wife on a business trip. Madame went on a business trip today. He was fine, he didn't want to be bored in the inn, so he came out to hang out.

We made an appointment to have dinner together the next night.

The next night, I met his wife. A very handsome young woman, much younger than he looked. When we spoke, her eyes were almost always focused on Teacher Lu Xiaoguang. She has always looked at Lu Xiaoguang with a smile on the corner of her mouth with eyes full of fascination and admiration.

Teacher Lu Xiaoguang should be very happy now.

There are really few people in the world who can be content with loneliness all the time.

Mrs. Lu said, "I've heard the story of you repairing the murals and climbing the Great Wall together."

She said: "Whether you smoke alone or climb the Great Wall, it's too lonely and not suitable for us girls." Hopefully you're not doing it now. “

I said, "I'm not doing it anymore." “

After dinner, we said goodbye at the crossroads of the town.

When he said goodbye, Lu Xiaoguang asked his wife to go first, and then he said to me: "So, now, is someone hugging you so warmly?" “

I said, "No." “

He said, "Don't say no. I mean, if someone wants to give you such a hug, you don't always say no to him. “

"I'm not going to stop that couple on the subway anymore," he said. Because, she and I also hugged like this on the subway. “

"You're quite right," he said. When people in love embrace each other like that, the world doesn't exist for them. “

I stood at the intersection and watched the two of them arm in arm, making love and leaving, talking and laughing. Then, I walked the way I came, returned to the inn, turned on the computer, looked at the chapters of the book that had been written, and did not know what the East was all about.

(iv)

We haven't seen each other since that encounter.

I don't know where he is now or what happened to him. Are you still working on the restoration of the murals?

I have always been very grateful to Mr. Lu Xiaoguang.

Thank him for letting me see the face you left on the mural.

Thank you for having smoked that cigarette with me.

Some people, that's it. Even if you don't see each other for a long time, or even never see each other, they will still be your friends. (To be continued.) )
