Lin Nian walked by the river in the afternoon, and the road was covered with dandelions that had not yet grown, wilting white flowers swaying in the wind, and occasionally a few white flying flowers fell into the sparkling river reflecting the sunset.

After leaving the Regent Hotel, Lin Xian went to the café to negotiate his resignation and the month's salary, leaving Lin Nian alone to hang out in the CBD area, Mandy proposed to drive Lin Nian but he refused, because he wanted to walk home alone after a long absence.

In fact, it was said that he was walking home, Lin Nian also took the subway after leaving the hotel, and the reason why he refused Mandy was because he saw the red Ferrari in front of the Regent Hotel, and he didn't want to be driven by a good-looking girl driving a good car past the neighborhood's eyeballs - there was always a feeling of betraying the intangible assets of a young boy to eat.

But he didn't lie to Mandy when he said he wanted to walk home, he did get off the subway and walk on foot before he was four or five platforms away from home, and only saw the familiar river from noon to early evening.

At present, Lin Nian has walked many times on this road home by the river, but he still paid attention to the scenery on the street for the first time, the dog's tail grass and dandelions by the river, three or two sparse trees, the glass of the office building rising from the ground on the other side of the river reflects the sunlight strangely dazzling, and occasionally opens a few windows to reveal the young people in the office building holding Starbucks coffee cups looking at the CBD area and looking forward to the future.

People say that when you really have to leave a place, you will remember the beauty of the place, from the big buildings in the city to the grass and trees. Lin Nian has lived in this city for 16 years, so it can be said that he grew up here, but until now he has to go to the other side of the ocean because of an admission letter.

It stands to reason that Lin Nian should be very sentimental now, and maybe he will pick up a few dandelions and blow them on the spot, but he is not a little sad at all, which may be the inherent momentum of young people - when saying goodbye, young people will rarely look back and be nostalgic, and will only burst into enthusiastic expectations towards the unknown ahead.

Lin Nian is also a young man, and it won't be long before a plane ticket will send him to the place called the Kassel Academy, is he looking forward to it? Perhaps.

Looking around for decades, Lin Nian didn't have too much sentimentality, like he had never lived here, like a traveler, occasionally walking to this coastal city one day to stay, and today he was about to set off again, everything was so natural, so reasonable.

Inexplicably, Lin Nian felt a sense of familiarity.

It seems that once upon a time, this scene appeared now, and it was also him, who left a homeland and traveled a long way to a distant place, and there was also a person by his side to accompany him.

Is... It's strange that I was born here and grew up here, how could I have once upon a time traveled just by saying go?

Lin Nian shook his head and threw out the unrealistic idea, looking at the falling sunset again, he remembered that "One Hundred Years of Solitude" once said that if no one is buried here, you don't belong to this place.

may be trivial things in the memories of Lin Nian in this city, and there is no too deep memory, if you really want to say that the only thing worth loving may be Lin Xian, who depends on him for his life.

People say that the sky of young people is boundless, and the hearts of young people fly to distant places, but people are always afraid of heights, so they always need some snares.

But now that Lin Xian on the other end of the kite string is going away with him, what reason does he have to grieve the city and the so-called old people, as Mandy said?

It seems that in terms of joys and sorrows, I really have enough... Faint, watching the sunset completely fall to the end of the river, Lin Nian thought to himself.

He stopped thinking about what he had and didn't have, and instead quickened his pace, because he still had to rush to eat hot pot tonight.

*

Lin Nian walked the path by the river, but did not continue to walk home, at the end of the road, got off the bus at the subway station, took the subway all the way to the station dozens of kilometers away from home.

Out of the subway station, the cold wind whined into the neckline, Lin Nian tightened his clothes and looked up, it may be the problem of urban environmental pollution in recent years, there are no stars and no moon tonight, and the street lamp moon on the street is like a moon rising in turn.

He walked on the side of the road with his mobile phone in one hand, the cold wind threw the fallen leaves on the street in front of him, and kicked it away, the avatar of the class group on the iPhone has begun to beat, and the messages are swiped up one after another after clicking on it, all of which are news about the hot pot dinner.

Su Xiaoqiao's organizational ability, Zhao Menghua's leadership, Chen Wenwen's influence, and the efficiency of the three major speakers in the class are really powerful, and it is estimated that all the students in the class who should have arrived tonight except for those who live a little far away and have something to do.

Lin Nian snorted and felt that he could smell the fragrance of the hot pot base through the mobile phone screen, and the current weather was enough to save face.

In the end, he still decided to participate in this class reunion, at least eating a hot pot as a farewell is much better than the previous class transfer and a special farewell ceremony, one by one class representatives stood up to address the transfer classmates when there was a sense of solemnity to say goodbye to the body, at that time Lin Nian almost followed the silence.

So after thinking about it, it seems that tonight's hot pot is the best occasion, everyone is eating hot pot and singing, and it doesn't hurt to say goodbye suddenly. Watching the classmates pouring water in the group, Lin Nian inevitably felt some truth.

It turns out that there is still a so-called "social circle" in this city, and isn't life a patchwork of all kinds of joys and sorrows that happen in large and small circles?

His life before the age of sixteen was made up in this coastal city, that orphanage, and in a rented house, which does not seem to be a legend and myth, but also feels evocative when savored.

"How long will it take? Don't let me go, man, I'm going to die. "QQ on the road Ming non punctual poke Lin Nian, conscientious like a mobile phone alarm clock, shut down to the point can play music for you on time.

"On the way, there are still four or five streets." Lin Nian glanced up at the street sign and replied.

"Four or five streets? Did you come on foot? Doesn't your feet hurt? ”

"Are you going to rub it for me?"

"Hurry up, it's not easy to eat if there are no people."

"You eat first, I'll wash the dishes for you when it's late, I'll wash the dishes professionally."

"You're ruthless." Lu Mingfei stopped talking, at least he was relieved to know that his friend didn't release the pigeon.

Lin Nian put away his iPhone and rubbed his temples, do you think he wants to walk? The starting price of a taxi at night is 10 yuan, run four or five streets to eat a traffic light and then go around the estimated to have to jump the meter, where is he willing to take a car, who is willing to blow the cold wind and play the cool pressure on the road? And there is no beautiful girl by his side.

It may be that God heard the voice in Lin Nian's heart, so a beautiful girl really sent it to him, and a good car appeared with it.

The horn sounded on the street next to Lin Nian, and the headlights stretched his shadow on the road in front for a long time, and he didn't react until the black business Mercedes stopped beside him, and turned his head to look, and the rear window was lowered to reveal a pretty face with arrogant eyebrows, and at this moment this face was written with the surprise of a chance encounter.

"Lin Nian? Sure enough, it's you. ”

"Su Xiaoqiao? What a coincidence. Lin Nian was a little surprised.

He saw the girl's clear eyes behind the car window, shining with white street lights.
