After the feast, for some reason, there were rumors that Miao Haoshi was the 'Jewel of Shanghai'.

There are many people who doubt that such a famous woman will be imaginary, and she has to see the real face.

Miao Haoshi became a smash hit woman in the circle for a while.

But as a party, it is often the most embarrassing and inexplicable, and it will become the last few people who know, and of course there are friends and friends in the others.

But even Li Xizhen also heard this rumor.

When the call came, Ms. Lee had just returned home from the airport.

"How do you count? You know it as soon as I landed? Li Xizhen's sweet voice has not changed.

When I listened to it, I instantly felt that I was back in high school, and two girls wearing pleated skirt school uniforms appeared in front of me shuttling through Lane 9, 8th Street, Wan Chai, Kowloon in the evening.

When they first arrived in Hong Kong and were strangers in a foreign land, they relied on each other and felt homesick.

"I just got your contact information and called you. Are you back in Shanghai? As Miao spoke, his eyes looked out the window at a persimmon tree, and his hands trembled a little.

After a long time, it turns out that it is still so familiar, and I can't help but be moved.

"Besides, as soon as you graduated, there was no news, and it became a joke for the whole school when I found you. People still think I've been dumped by you. Why are you so ruthless? Yes? Later I found out that you went to the United States. Li Xizhen couldn't hear that there were so many emotions.

"Actually, I miss you so much...... I also looked for you, and later learned that you were admitted to Beijing Media University, thinking that it was too far away and didn't call, but I did send an email. Are you free tomorrow? We met, we met, we talked. ”

There was already a commotion on the other end of the phone at this time, and although Li Xizhen was still holding her mobile phone, she had no time to talk properly. Her grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts at home are here, and a large family comes to pick her up. Her living room was probably packed with family members.

"Okay, make an appointment tomorrow - ah, auntie, sister-in-law. ——- but I have to see you. ”

Miao Haoshi has always disliked noisy, and when he heard the clanging sound of the front yard and the loud communication between the master and the workers, he politely withdrew from the person in charge of the design company.

This weekend afternoon was rarely fine, and there was no schedule on the company's side, so she walked the street and breathed in the spring air.

She crossed Jiangsu Road from Yuyuan Road, and then turned to Huashan Road, all the way full of old old things in the past, old-fashioned alleys, but people felt unusually quiet, and their hearts were silent.

The main road is lined with sycamores; The eaves in the side alleys are staggered one after another; The familiar smell and unfamiliar urban people in Shikumen seem to be able to shackle her in a certain corner of time and space, neither the past, nor the present, nor the future. I don't know the exact explanation of where I am.

She has been to many places, such as Beijing, the imperial capital is all around, and Pang Hong's intricacies in one city and one thousand gates have never let her get lost; For example, Paris, the small Paris that stretches for 20 districts and the big Paris did not let her get lost, probably because the city of other states did not have the induction of culture and history; New York, for example, is as bustling as it is crazy and fascinating, and the cobweb-like road without taboos has never lost her. There are only three cities that make her confused. And Shanghai must bear the brunt of this, she has lived here for 12 years, but she will still suddenly find that people are unfamiliar, and she does not know the past and the present.

Although Mu Pengfei said that she was born in Nanjing, she was too easily lost and lost her direction as a person who grew up in Nanjing.

Rumor has it that there is a fierce dragon underground, and it takes a busy flow of people to suppress it day and night, so it is the only city where the subway shuttles in front of the temple gate every day. All the hustle and bustle has a home and a reason.

There is also a street in Hong Kong, called Shanghai Street, which is full of old houses and old sheds, as if homesick and disillusioned, next to the bustling and spacious Nathan Road. She revisited many landscapes according to Zhang Ailing's description, but she never felt that she had not found it, it was a city that life could not find and reproduce.

And Nanjing is like an eternal dream to her, as if she has never met each other. Every time she walked through those narrow streets and crossed the non-existent pontoon bridge, she felt like a ghost hitting a wall and couldn't find the north, and she was immersed in time everywhere in the morning and dusk, like the lyrics in the pear orchard on the stage. "Jinling Imperial Prefecture since ancient times" has the Suzaku Gate, the dream floating, and the legend of the divine bird mortal, but there is no mystery of her life experience.

These three cities are like her fate. The ancients said that gray hair is as good as new, probably so. The closer you are to the familiar things of the people, the more you have no grasp of them.

Such a momentary epiphany, when I looked up, I found that I had walked under the company building. She simply swiped her card and went to the office. This office building near the Bund has 4 floors owned by Xinmei Capital, which is the property of a major shareholder, but it does not need to pay sky-high rent in this inch of land, and can enjoy half of Shanghai's bright lights.

The evening had passed, but the lights on the general manager's floor were on. Warm yellow LED lights are a delicate preference for Hong Kong people. She walked in slowly, just as she bumped into Nie Chen, holding a coffee cup and coming out of the separate pantry. Looks like I've been staying here today without rest.

"Why are you here?" Nie Chen asked, with no surprise on his face.
