Chapter 6: The Horse Stumbles

After all, Shenzhen is an international metropolis. Sun Yimin sighed again and again as he walked: In addition to the beautiful and tidy cityscape here, even the girls on the road are better looking than the fifth-tier city in his hometown. Along the way, I have hardly met a single one who can be called ugly. It's right to think about it, high-quality resources are always concentrated in prosperous places. Including beauties.

Walking on the street, you can see the office addresses of many well-known domestic enterprises everywhere, especially IT companies. Among them is Mr. Sun's impressive Internet giant, which has an impressive sleek and avant-garde headquarters.

He remembers that when he was in college, QQ, an instant messaging software developed and operated by Company T, had just begun to take the Internet by storm. Just a few years later, it has rapidly grown into an Internet business giant, which is admired and amazed.

Now in the city, he realizes that his ideals are not unattainable. It is the ultimate pursuit of his life to be able to rely on his technical skills to become one of such Internet companies and become a technology master.

That's why he also submitted a cover letter to it this morning, in the mood to give it a try.

Inadvertently, I've been shopping for most of the afternoon. As night falls, the city streets are gradually crowded with pedestrians.

Sun Yimin plans to return. He took the subway and got off at Haiyue Station. This is the closest subway station to Liu Ronghua's Merchants Garden City. But it's still a bit far from home, so you need to take the bus.

There was nothing to do today, so he chose to walk home.

Walking past rows of shops and strolling across an overpass, 20 minutes later, he came to a bustling commercial plaza opposite China Merchants Garden City, which was full of pedestrians.

The sidewalk was busy with retail carpets and snack stalls, as well as pirated disc stalls that interested him. In it, he saw a lot of American blockbusters that had just been released recently, and couldn't help but linger, picking a few to take home and watch slowly.

Just as he was about to leave, a rich smell of seafood barbecue came with the wind, holding him back and awakening the hunger in his heart. Tracing back to his roots, he stopped in front of a teppanyaki squid stall.

"How much is a string?" There were strangers passing by who were attracted by the fragrance and helped him ask what he wanted to ask.

"Ten dollars and three strings." The boss replied neatly as he placed a handful of squid skewers on an iron plate filled with oil and expertly pressed it with a shovel.

There was a sizzling sound on the iron plate. With the continuous bubbles, it emits bursts of enchanting fragrance.

Sun Yimin paid the money and stood aside with many strangers, waiting to pick up the goods.

A pleasant female voice came from beside him: "It's so fragrant, let's have a little, dear ......."

"Okay, okay, boss, come to 6 strings of ......" The boyfriend next to him is very considerate.

Sun Yimin secretly thought: This beautiful voice should come from a good-looking young woman.

Looking sideways, I caught a glimpse of the side face of a long-haired girl with delicate facial features, the girl's slender arm was holding the hand of her boyfriend next to her, and gently snuggling on the other person's shoulder.

In the dim light of the barbecue stand, such a picture looks so warm and sweet that some single men in the neighborhood can't help but look at it a few more times because of envy β€” including Sun Yimin.

In fact, after so many years, it is not that there are no women who have shown favor to him. But he was always waiting for a dream goddess who would make his heart pound again in an instantβ€”he hadn't met it for so many years. Other than that, he would rather be single than settle.

Along with the sizzling squid, he packed some other barbecue items and some beer to take home.

When I opened the door, I saw Liu Ronghua sitting in front of the computer smoking silently, looking gloomy, like a mournful woman.

The computer screen lit up, but he didn't seem to have any intention of operating the game.

"Let's have some barbecue!" Sun Yimin greeted warmly, but the other party turned a deaf ear.

Sun put down his things, patted Liu Ronghua on the shoulder, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?" ”

"Alas......" Liu Ronghua spat out a puff of dark gray smoke, and stopped talking.

"Is it because your game mate isn't coming to see you?" Sun Yimin tentatively tested in a mocking tone.

"Come is coming, it's just ......" Liu Ronghua wanted to speak and stopped, paused, and lowered his tone for a while: "The people who come have changed." ”

"How has it changed?" Sun Yimin was puzzled.

"Single girls aren't coming." Liu Ronghua replied expressionlessly.

"And who's coming?" Sun Yimin felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Women."

Liu Ronghua's words seem to contain a lot of information. This made Sun Yimin speculate in his mind for a while before he suddenly reacted: "Is your game wife not a single woman at all, but a married woman?" ”。

Liu Ronghua nodded silently, his face was ashamed, and he didn't dare to face the other party, as if he was afraid of being ridiculed by him.

At this moment, Sun Yimin couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud.

Liu Ronghua, who was still talking about the theory of the game pickle girl just now, showed off the results of the game pickle girl, and tried to demonstrate the actual combat process to Sun Yimin, but at this moment, he suddenly stumbled, Sun Yimin really couldn't think of anything funnier than this.

Liu Ronghua rolled his eyes at him, and continued to smoke by himself with a depressed face.

Of course, with their deep friendship, Liu Ronghua naturally wouldn't mind the other party being so flirtatious.

Sun Yimin laughed and asked, "So the woman came alone?" ”

"A group of people. Let's travel here. Liu Ronghua said casually.

Sun Yimin was silent for a while and asked, "In other words, she has been looking for you to be happy?" ”

"Not what you think." Liu Ronghua denied it.

"She said she was single, and then she said that she would come to see you alone, and she would come here to find a job. But in fact, she is just a married woman, it is impossible for you to run away from home to make a living here, and coming to Shenzhen is just a tourist passing, and she can't come to meet you alone, right? You say, this is not a trick on you? Sun Yimin asked rhetorically.

"She lied to me that I was single because she was afraid that I would know that she had a family, so I wouldn't have any more relationships with her." Liu Ronghua said, "In fact, she didn't lie to me about coming to Shenzhen. At first, she only said that she wanted to come and wanted to meet me, and she didn't say whether she was a person or a few people. This may be because the situation was uncertain at the time. And I myself had a preconceived idea that she came alone. ”

"Meaning she, she actually wants to meet you. But at present, considering the reality of the situation, she is a little hesitant again? Sun asked.

Liu Ronghua nodded in acquiescence.

"So do you still want to meet?" Sun asked.

"I discussed with her today that we can meet, but we can only meet from afar." Liu Ronghua said.

"How do you take a picture?" Sun Yimin looked curious.

"She will tell me the specific train number, the station to which station, and which exit she is wearing, and I will wait for her at the exit and take a look." Liu Ronghua said.

Sun Yimin thought in his heart: For a special reason, two people who have never met but are in love with each other can only look at each other silently, unable to speak, or even have expressions. This sounds like a very romantic and poignant thing.

After a pause, he smiled and asked, "It seems that this way of meeting is too far from your expected date method, right?" The tone was teasing.

"Alas......" Liu Ronghua sighed and didn't speak.

Sun Yimin added: "The way you expected to date should be with her...... So what...... Right? ”

Liu Ronghua smiled embarrassedly. And said, "No, don't think about it so superficially, what I value is emotion, and some things are natural and can't be forced." ”

Sun Yimin nodded.

After being cold for a long time, Liu Ronghua raised his head and looked at Sun Yimin with a pleading gaze: "When I was studying, everyone said that you were the smartest, you help me think about it, is there any way to meet her in a better way." ”

"A better way? Everyone is here like this, what else do you want? Sun Yimin asked rhetorically.

"Well, I don't have any other purpose, I just hope to say at least two sentences instead of taking a picture, which would be too boring." Liu Ronghua said.

Sun Yimin thought for a while and said, "If she really wants to come to see you sincerely, I have a way." ”

"Tell me about it."

Sun Yimin asked him: "Where are she going after she gets off the bus?" I guess I went to a hotel where I was staying, right? ”

"Naturally, it should be."

"Then you can ask her in advance which hotel it is. When the time comes, you can go to the vicinity of the hotel where she is staying and ask her to find an excuse to go out alone," Sun Yimin gave a simple plan.

"On what ground?"

"It's not difficult, as long as she has the heart, she will definitely find a reason. For example, go downstairs and buy some personal belongings. Then you can meet her alone and even be able to say a couple of words. Sun Yimin said.

Liu Ronghua nodded: "Makes sense." It's just that this time is relatively short. ”

"So what else do you want?"

"It would be nice if we could spend a little longer. For example, find a place nearby to have a cup of tea and have a conversation. ”

"Well, you've figured it out yourself. Adapt when the time comes. ”

Liu Ronghua nodded silently. It still seems to be sullen.

Sighing, he added, "I'm sad that she can't come here to work, and maybe the last time I see her." ”

Hearing this, Sun Yimin felt a little sympathetic to this old classmate. It seems that Liu Ronghua's attitude towards this virtual network emotion is serious, and because of this, he will be so lost after learning the truth.

He suddenly felt that this former friend was addicted to online dating.

He planned to enlighten Liu Ronghua well: "Shouldn't you be sober?" You see, she may be able to talk to you and me in the virtual game world, and talk to me about everything. But when it comes to meeting in reality, it's different, right? I don't think you should expect much from her. ”

"I believe she is sincere to me," Liu Ronghua said sincerely.

Sun Yimin had no intention of refuting this, but still persuaded: "Even if you are serious about each other, you should be sober now, it may be nothing to meet each other, but there is no need to invest too much true feelings in the virtual world." Because there is no result, is it. ”

Liu Ronghua was silent, he knew that what Sun Yimin said was a cruel truth.

It's just that, looking at this former free-spirited teenager on campus, suddenly trapped in a virtual network relationship at this moment, Sun Yimin feels a little incredible and a little distressed.
