Waves, sea.

Breeze, scorching sun.

It is an island located on the southwest coast of China.

I was lying on the platform of the island's only train station.

The sun was shining, so I had to take off the straw hat hanging from my bike and put it on my head.

The sea has passed the railroad tracks, and the waves crash against the edge of the platform.

Whining~

At that moment, a train whistle sounded.

The corners of my mouth curled up under my straw hat.

"It's finally here."

I muttered.

The island is called Century Island, and there is a city on the island called Century City.

In 2020, there was an unprecedented outbreak of infectious pneumonia on the planet.

The pneumonia has a rapid outbreak, rapid contagion, and a high fatality rate.

For a time, the countries of the world were at a loss.

Of course, some people believe it, and naturally some people don't.

Country M is one of them.

Mr. Trump, the president of country M, did not believe in the existence of this terrible pneumonia, and in less than half a year, country M became the country with the highest infection rate.

His inaction and lack of attention have put country M in a silent predicament.

Although in the end, after changing the president, trying to get the new president to save the situation.

But, it's too late.

Almost no one would believe that in just two years, in 2022, the number of pneumonia infections in country M is as high as 98%.

In other words, in country M, for every 100 people, only two people are not infected with pneumonia.

And those two people are often newborns.

Finally, the beginning of 2023.

Country M.

Lose.

No one thought that the world's largest country would die like this.

No one thought that this pneumonia would be so terrifying.

To combat this incident, 197 countries of the world have come together.

They formed an alliance and prepared for the worst.

One of them is a program called Hope.

The Hope Project is a group of countries around the world, each country will randomly select dozens or hundreds of healthy people to live on one island.

If pneumonia breaks out in any country and falls into the footsteps of country M, then there are people in that country who will stay.

And that island is what is now Century City.

I.

It's called Li Shuhang.

An ordinary ......

High school student.

I'm a third-generation living in Century City.

My grandparents are authentic Chinese.

After a hundred years, the pneumonia vaccine has long been developed.

And that terrible epidemic has gradually disappeared with the arrival of vaccines.

But Century City remained.

It remained as a witness.

Century City is a city, not a country, and it is not subject to any state, but it is protected by various countries.

Perhaps due to the symbol of Century City, this seemingly uninstitutionalized city is exceptionally peaceful.

Now, 100 years later, Century City has become a tourist country for people, and countless tourists from all over the world come every year.

Of course, this is also one of the main incomes of our Century City.

oh

That's right

Forgot to explain.

The year is 2075.

When I heard the whistle, I straightened up slightly and looked into the distance.

Forehead......

Embarrassingly, I didn't see a train with waves from far and near.

It's mine, belly.

No way, I'm a fat man.

Pushing hard again, I sat up.

Put on your flip-flops and pick up the camera around your neck.

Boot.

One thing to ask you.

You guys

Believe in love at first sight?

Quite a ridiculous topic.

But I believe.

She used to come to Century City every year.

I remember the first time I met her when I was five years old.

It should be.

Then.

My father is still there.

He is the stationmaster of the Century City railway station.

He is also a civil servant.

It was in the year of my father's accident that I met her.

The "doll" in a white floral dress.

That was the first time I met her.

At the station.

She just stood.

Well, right where I'm right now.

There is also a red balloon in the hand.

As soon as I met her, I was attracted to her.

At the time, I looked at her.

She should be looking at me.

I didn't have the courage to say hello to her.

She just looked at me and turned away.

I've seen her once a year since.

However, I didn't have the courage to get to know her every time.

Then another four years passed, and I was nine years old.

Nine, nine.

I haven't seen her since I was nine years old.

……

But

I have a picture of her!

After I was nine years old, I came to the station once a month.

Yes, in order to see her again.

Of course, it was also because I was looking for a reason to come to the station again.

After all, this is where my father used to work.

Today, it is no exception.

I

Not again.

Standing up, I saw a long black line appear in what seemed to be not far ahead.

The long line is from far to near, and it is very effective, and in less than three or two minutes, it will be in front of me.

I turn on the camera and adjust the focus.

It's been seven years.

Over the course of seven years, I took a lot of pictures.

Although there is no her, there are many people of all kinds.

This time, I still had the expectation of photographing her again, but I only photographed the passengers who got off the bus.

Car, listened.

I picked up my camera.

On the first section, the door opened.

My finger was also on the shutter.

I have a habit of taking a picture of the first passenger coming off the first carriage every time I take a photo.

I stuck with this habit for seven years.

But

This time, I broke that habit.

Because

I saw it again.

She.

“……”

I was speechless.

Through the lens, I look at the first carriage.

It's her!

It's definitely her!

Seven years have passed, but I just remember.

Her appearance hasn't changed much.

It's still so beautiful.

Willow leaf bent eyebrows

Black grape-like eyes.

I'm happy, I'm excited.

I forgot about the picture I was going to take.

Time seems to freeze.

The only thing that's still moving, probably my heartbeat.

"Gollum~"

I swallowed hard.

Ah, by the way, take a picture!

It took me another moment to remember.

I picked up my camera again, ready to give my goddess the perfect picture.

"Huh?"

But right now, it's dark in front of my camera.

Is it broken?

I'm curious.

Lowering my head, I checked my camera.

But then, a shadow half covered me.

This is a figure.

You don't need to look at the owner of the shadow, just by looking at the shadow you know that its owner must be beautiful.

I looked up curiously.

Saw.

She stood in front of me.

"Uh."

I'm speechless

"Deleted."

And she opened her mouth lightly.

"Ah...... Pander to?? ”

Hearing her speak, the sound of a silver bell poured into my ears.

I was intoxicated.

But then, I couldn't understand what she meant.

Deleted? What to delete?

Oh~

Photos.

I guess she thinks I'm a crazy guy who can't take pictures.

After all, I'm not exactly what I'm wearing.

Flip-flops, black shorts, white vest.

kindness

It's a crazy guy.

But I haven't taken a picture yet

I explained:

"Uh, I, I haven't, alas?!"

Talking to her, I stuttered a little.

But it was just those few seconds when I stuttered.

she

Moved.

At some point, my camera appeared in her hand out of my grasp.

I thought she was just checking it out for herself, just in case.

But who would have thought that she didn't even look at it, and as soon as she shook her hand, she threw the camera into the sea.

"I'll go!"

I was shocked.

This camera is a relic of my father, and it was a gift from my father when I was five years old.

For the sake of the camera, I didn't think about it, and I jumped out of a deep way while controlling my fat body.

When the camera was about to sink into the sea, I caught him, threw it high, and threw it back to shore.

Poof~Wow~

I fell into the sea.

But it doesn't matter, because I know that my camera is safe.

Wrong!

And it didn't keep it.

She's still on shore!

When I thought of this in the sea, I lost interest in the moment and slowly swam back to shore.

I adjusted my body and swam towards the surface.

When I just leaked a head, ready to see if my camera would fly back.

I saw that beside her, there were two people standing.

One male, one female.

These two are supposed to be husband and wife, grades, and probably the same age as my mother.

From then on, I guessed that these two should be her parents.

Among them, the man standing to her left was holding a camera in his hand and looked at me apologetically.

I was relieved to see that the camera was fine.

I swam back to shore.

Before I could take off my jacket and wring out the water.

The three of them were already in front of me.

The man smiled apologetically, and said to me in standard Chinese very gentlemanly:

"I'm sorry, my daughter is so naughty."

Is it really the parents?

I thought about it.

I hurriedly shook my hand.

"No, uncle, it's okay."

Well, I'll admit, I'm saying it in her face.

My eyes skimmed to her.

It's beautiful.

She also skimmed at me.

Disgusted looks.
