AT 18:30 IN THE EVENING, THE SUNSHINE IN LYON IS STILL VERY SUFFICIENT, AFTER DINNER AT THE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY DIAGONALLY OPPOSITE EM LYON (EM LYON BUSINESS SCHOOL), JI MIN STROLLED ALONE ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, A ROW OF POPLAR TREES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE TRACK IS RED AND INTOXICATING, LIKE A FIRE-LIKE FALLEN LEAVES FALLING ON THE GROUND WITH THE WIND, REFLECTING THE GOLDEN SUNSET, THIN AND CONNECTED, THE HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE SO NATURALLY SKETCHED A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE. The so-called leaves know autumn, and suddenly found that Lyon has quietly entered autumn.

It's almost October, Ji Min thought to himself, it will be his 28th birthday in a few days, and there are almost two months left, and the entire study abroad career will end.

When I was tired of walking, I simply sat on the bench by the court, closed my eyes, and bathed my whole body in the warm sun, the breeze blew on my face, blowing a strand of black hair scattered on my ears and temples, like a lover whispering slowly in my ear, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on her quiet and beautiful face, which was picturesque.

"How pleasant!"

Ji Min cut low, "Life seems so slow-paced and easy here, no wonder the French people are the most sensual and amorous, such people and scenes, such tones and rhymes, how can people not nourish romantic feelings." ”

Recalling that before coming to France to study, Ji Min was a senior executive of a company in China of an internationally renowned investment institution. She is dignified, elegant, and noble, quiet and beautiful, so she is surrounded by a group of so-called high-end successful men all the time...... In the eyes of many women, this may be the life they dream of, but Ji Min disagrees. Since leaving the campus, she has this profession, she has to get up on time every morning, go out on time, as soon as she steps into the door of the company, it is like immediately entering the battlefield, automatically turning on the mechanical mode that seems to be new every day, but in fact every day, and constantly starts all kinds of busy, complicated and fast-paced. Then, it is to deal with all kinds of people, with leaders, with customers; ...... with colleagues, with colleagues and with colleagues In short, the scripts of intrigue can be seen everywhere, and scenes of deceit abound. Ji Min doesn't like these very much, especially disgusted with being occupied after getting off work at night, being coaxed and tricked to entertain some important customers in the name of beauty, and sometimes even on weekends, Ji Min hates this.

As a result, work almost filled her whole life, and she was a little out of breath, and her nerves were often tense, but she didn't know why she was tense. Ji Min likes to watch movies, likes to go to the cinema alone and sit in the back row, quietly enjoying those two hours of carefree time, but now, it seems to have become a luxury. This is not what she yearns for, nor is it what she wants, but the most important thing is that she suddenly found that her life has no purpose and has lost her direction.

"What's wrong with me? What exactly do I want? She kept questioning herself in her mind.

Finally one day, Ji Min told herself: "I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to get some fresh air!" ”

So, she quit her job, packed her bags, and resolutely set foot on this land far away from the hustle and bustle.

Every day here, the mobile phone is quiet, and the heart is also very quiet, looking for the people here, the life here, the stories here, and suddenly I realize that when there is a choice, in fact, life can be a completely different state.

"Give you a CD from the past, listen to our love at that time, sometimes you will suddenly forget that I am still in love with you......"

My thoughts were interrupted by the ringing mobile phone ringtone, it was Faye Wong's "Because of Love", the call was from Ava, the girl who lived with her, as soon as Ji Min connected, a delicate, sweet and greasy voice came from her ears.

"Hey, honey, where's that?"

"On the way back." Ji Min replied simply.

"Oh, what, Pater came to you just now, said that your mobile phone can't get through, let me tell you, that the score of the group mock project assessment has come down, your group won the first place, everyone agreed to have a good celebration, discussed for a long time, and finally decided to go skiing in Mont Blanc, planning to leave early tomorrow morning, ask you if you want to go?" And you know what? Even I was invited, hahaha! So nice！ ”

Mont Blanc, meaning White Mountain, is the highest peak in the Alps, at the junction of Haute-Savoie in France and Valle d'Aosta in Italy, and is also the highest peak in Western Europe.

"You accepted it?" Ji Min asked.

"Of course! There are a lot of people together, and I heard that there is a mysterious party to be organized at the top of the mountain! It's exciting to think about, how can this kind of fun thing be without me? Ava said excitedly.

Ji Min thought for a moment, and then said: "Then you go, pay attention to safety, I won't go anyway, one, I don't know how to ski, and I don't like skiing, two, I don't like parties, you have to pull me to Ashley's birthday party last time, what is the result?" It's embarrassing. ”

"Hey! Come on! Are you embarrassed? It's obvious that you're embarrassing people, okay? Andrew is also the third generation of the lord, and he looks good, holding such a big bouquet of flowers, kneeling in front of the public to court, how romantic and touching, I don't know how many girls I envy on the spot, you are good, I don't understand the style at all, like avoiding flies, and then don't say a word, turn around and leave, you talk about you......"

"Say what? What is there to say, you know I don't have feelings for foreigners. Ji Min said indifferently.

"Why be serious! This kind of true loftiness is something that can be met but not sought, oh, you have to wait until your true destiny, the death of love, and then the bruising all over the body, is this called life? Enjoy life, it's not that I said you, you want to open a little, while you are still young, experience more, that's right. ”

"You!"

Ji Minliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was about to speak, when Ava's giggling laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I know that you are dedicated, you can decide whether to go or not, or we will discuss it in the evening. I hung up first, I was in a hurry to go out, I might have to come back later in the evening, and Jacob asked me to go to Place Belleour for a candlelit dinner, you know...... Hee-hee-hee, okay, let's not talk about it, the people have arrived. Oh, I almost forgot, my dear, remember to bring some Cheese with you when you come back, there is no stock at home, and there is a letter from you on the table, sent by the postman in the afternoon, unsigned, but it was sent by Paul Bocuse, my God, I almost couldn't help but open it! You have to wait for me to come back before dismantling it, huh! ”

Without waiting for Ji Min to answer, the phone hung up.

Paul Bocuse, the most famous three-star restaurant in Lyon, founded by Paul Bocuse, a French culinary god, located in Lyon, has been awarded three Michelin stars every year since 1965.

Ji Min thoughtfully put the phone back in his satchel, and wondered: What did it do to me in the letter? Could it be that the chef knew that my birthday was approaching and invited me to a big dinner?

When I think of this, I can't help but smile.

As the sun thins out, the sunset looms behind the majestic Alps, and even though it's a weekend, there are still crowds of people walking around the campus from time to time. It is rare to see people in a hurry or anxious here, perhaps because everyone enjoys the comfort and tranquility of this divine gift, so they all slow down for fear of ruining this beautiful natural scene.

A pair of men and women in love are walking leisurely, talking to each other and walking past Ji Min, obviously Chinese, speaking a warm Wu Nong, the man does not know because the girl said something, and smiled shallowly, the right hand held the girl's waist, hugged tighter, the girl leaned her head on the boy's shoulder, wanted to talk, the two dependent figures gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared into the silent twilight.

Ji Min looked at the gradually blurred back, a touch of melancholy swept over his face, thoughtfully, and then reached out to pull the hair that was blown up in front of his forehead behind his ears, stood up, sighed softly, and muttered to himself: "Let's go." ”

It was already 10 p.m. when he returned to the dormitory, and after leaving Em-Lyon, Ji Min walked around the Saône by himself before going home along the way. Along the way, I passed by the flower house, the book booth, and the coffee shop, and while walking casually, I took out my camera and took pictures as I wanted. The streets are lined with diners, chatting and laughing, and they seem to prefer this way of eating and drinking and chatting in the open air.

Perhaps, life is meant to be like this, free and easy. Ji Min thought to herself.
