A sudden call at a critical moment in singles with James Harden, after Yang Yiming's repeated questioning, Yu Xiaochun finally spat out, saying that it was from his ex-girlfriend Tang Wen, who hoped to see each other again after many years.

Tang Wen is Yu Xiaochun's college classmate, and the two are a campus couple. After graduating, Yu Xiaochun was admitted to graduate school in the United States, and Tang Wen, who was still working in China, was broken up after a trip to Philadelphia. A text message of less than 100 words:

“… Let's just let the memories of more than three years stay in Philadelphia. Maybe one day I'll go back again, but for the time being, I'm going to go first... I wish you all the best in the United States. ”

When Tang Wen broke up with Yu Xiaochun, she didn't even make a phone call, without any personal explanation. But after such a long time, she suddenly called and said that she wanted to see Yu Xiaochun again because she saw it on TV, what was it for?

There are many kinds of human feelings.

Joy, excitement, anger, fear, sadness, confusion, anxiety, contentment.

Sometimes one emotion will be strong to the extreme, and sometimes several feelings will be mixed together, wrestling with each other, and the waves will be turbulent.

Yu Xiaochun doesn't often think of his ex-girlfriend Tang Wen, but whenever he thinks of this memory, there is only one feeling in his chest: nostalgia. Nothing else.

It is often said that campus romance is the purest. It is often said that first love is always the most beautiful. In Koharu's case, both of these are in line.

Tang Wen was a classmate of his law faculty at university. Although the two were officially together in their sophomore year, Yu Xiaochun actually fell in love with her at first sight. Tang Wen is not the kind of girl who stands out in the crowd, to be precise, she is ordinary in all aspects from the perspective of school readers. First of all, Yu Xiaochun and Tang Wen were admitted to a midstream university, 211, not 985, and the major of law is not the strong point of this school. This is enough to show that the two are not the top students in their respective city schools, at most they can only say that they work hard enough, but they are by no means talented or have the perseverance to hang the beam. At the beginning of the school year, everyone took turns on stage to introduce themselves, Tang Wen didn't talk much, she didn't speak loudly but not shyly, and she still had black over-the-shoulder hair like a student, she and all the girls hadn't started to learn makeup, but the youthful appearance on her face was more moving than any makeup and lipstick. It was still hot in September in the south, and she wore an emerald green skirt with polka dots, her knees and ankles exposed, and a pair of round brown leather shoes on her feet. Tang Wen's face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was caused by the humid weather, or if she was nervous when she spoke, sweat soaked her snow-white neck, and some hair stuck to it, Yu Xiaochun stared at it for a long time.

It turns out that Tang Wen is really an ordinary girl. Unlike the dormitory boys who will be obscene every night, Tang Wen does not have many fly-like suitors around her. She has a few dormitory friends who are close to her, and they go to class together, go to the library together to occupy a seat, and fetch water, eat and go shopping together. Her smile was faint, never exaggerated, but sweet and pleasant; Her words were soft, like the four seasons of the city's wind, gentle and slightly warm and wet. In short, Yu Xiaochun himself didn't know what he liked about this ordinary girl - before going to college, he always thought that he would let himself go in the new world, and launched an earth-shattering pursuit of the most beautiful girl, even if he didn't succeed, he could leave a vigorous memory. But he didn't.

From the first day, his vision was occupied by Tang Wen.

He'd send her a message and ask for warmth. Each message will be replied to, short but sincere. She seems to be like a person who has long been familiar with this, neither letting Yu Xiaochun feel angry, nor giving him too high hopes. Girls seem to have always been much more mature than boys when it comes to love. But Yu Xiaochun didn't mind, at least she still had to answer all questions, which was enough for him.

We talked a lot, and then he started asking girls to eat together. Tang Wenwan refused several times, and finally agreed to him.

From the various stalls in the campus cafeteria to the shops around the university town, the relationship between the two people seems to have changed slightly in a meal that is not salty or light? Yu Xiaochun wasn't sure, but later he asked Tang Wen to go to the movies and other more intimate activities, and the other party naturally agreed. Tang Wen didn't have any other hobbies, so the Hollywood blockbusters, European literary films, Hong Kong and Taiwan films, domestic pseudo-giants and rotten ghost films released that year, none of them were left behind, and they watched them all.

A quiet school year passed quickly.

In the summer of the second year, Yu Xiaochun also deliberately went to Tang Wen's hometown to live for a few days. It was a small town in the north, and it was cool even in summer, and Yu Xiaochun took a 26-hour train ride for one day and one night to arrive. The black soil with high mountains and thick water is probably like this. There is no popularity in the town, most of them are elderly, and he has seen them all in a long time. On the second night after arriving, Yu Xiaochun and Tang Wen's former classmates had a meal, and everyone chatted a little late, and drank a few sips of wine like adults.

After the meal, Yu Xiaochun took Tang Wen back to the hotel he booked - he deliberately chose a relatively expensive but neat home, and the two sat on the two pillows on the bed and watched TV for a while, but they never leaned together. Approaching midnight, Tang Wen said that she wanted to go home, but Yu Xiaochun did not stay. He didn't know what to do, and the envisioned scenario didn't happen. Yu Xiaochun proposed to send Tang Wen home, but the latter did not agree, saying that he had grown up here since he was a child, and he could walk there in a few steps, so he took care of himself.

The next day and the next two or three days, as if nothing had happened the night before, they still wandered around the town, eating and drinking. It's as if watching TV in a hotel room has never happened.

Afterward.

Later, Yu Xiaochun went back, and when the summer passed and the campus in September ushered in new students again, Tang Wen became his girlfriend like that.

So it is probably not surprising that Yu Xiaochun is still full of nostalgia for this ex-girlfriend who didn't have the courage to say the breakup.

His nostalgia for Tang Wen is mostly just a reminiscence of these trivial things.

The emerald green polka-dot skirt, that northland town, the sweat-soaked hair on her neck, her eternal whisper. Even if their journey came to an abrupt end in Philadelphia, all he remembered were those glorious moments.

She sits on the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, imprinted with the rising sun and looking forward to the future.

It was still a while before I left the museum, and the sun had risen in the distance, and the faint morning light turned into a light that sprinkled the whole city, and it also fell on the land in front of the museum without obstruction. Tang Wen squinted her eyes slightly, and the tiredness of the night train bumps didn't seem to leave a mark on her face. Her lips were as thin as pink as she spoke, and her wavy hair flowed from one shoulder to her chest. Because of the bouncing just now, Tang Wen's chest would rise and fall slightly with her breathing.

She said she liked Philadelphia and said she could come back in the future.

It's just that this vision has not been fulfilled in the future.

Although there may be clues that the two are going to break up, it may have begun to be revealed long before the trip to Philadelphia. Although in retrospect, meeting in Philadelphia may be more like Tang Wen's initiative to draw an end to this relationship. Although Yu Xiaochun could completely guess that he had read countless text messages about the two breaking up, it actually implied that Tang Wen chose another person for his personal future, but he chose not to think about it.

Just nostalgia.

Although after returning from work, he was introduced by others, participated in all kinds of blind dates, and the girls he saw were strangely gentle, some worshipped money, and some looked down on him at all, and there were also those who left directly without making excuses in the middle of the meal. But what he misses the most is still the ordinary-looking girl Tang Wen he saw on the first day on campus. He couldn't tell what was so good about her, but everything was so comfortable and everything was worth remembering.

Only with her can Yu Xiaochun tell his paranoid basketball dream. He wanted to give up everything he was in the NBA world. That giant country full of madness and personal heroism, and he, is just an inconspicuous little person.

Whenever he said this, Tang Wen would always hear a wonderful joke, and a smile would come to his cheeks. She wouldn't comment on his dreams, but as always, she was as willing as ever, pampered and not surprised, like every ordinary moment in her life and incomparably wonderful for Koharu, and gently commented: "Well, it's good." I think it's interesting. ”

So Yu Xiaochun, who heard this, felt full of motivation, for this person, he could go to the soup without complaining.

Now this man is coming back again.

On the phone, she said that she was going to come to him, and it was incumbent on her to cross the ocean.

This time, the two of them seemed to have suddenly fallen apart.

I don't know what she's for.

But no matter what, Yu Xiaochun couldn't calm down.
