preface

Under the moon, the matchmaker tied a thread to a person's sleeve and pulled this gossamer to find such a lover in the world.

How many twists and turns of rivers to cross, how many streets of strangers rubbing shoulders with each other, how many rows of cities, how many railways full of huge bows.

Yes, the line was almost broken almost before it was reached.

Some were fortunate to find them.

Some are still being sought.

(a)

When the train took Chang Xia through the unfamiliar mountains of Fujian, she felt as if she was a half-awake and half-asleep dreamer, was it fate that made her travel through the time tunnel?

She looked out the window uneasily, the distant sunset was like a heart dripping with light blood, and the afterglow of light blood red reflected in the mountains.

Chang Xia took off her shoes, stood on the seat, and took out the notebook with a black cover from the luggage rack, which Bai Xian had left for her when she came to the town.

She put her feet in her seat, her notebook on her lap, lowered her head and made a few strokes on it, and in a frustrated manner she tore off the paper on which she had written.

Just now, carrying a black suitcase and being crowded by the crowd to get into the car, Chang Xia felt like he was being dragged out of a room that he didn't want to abandon, and the struggle of his feet pulling on the ground suddenly crossed in front of him.

is about to get away from Shanghai, which really makes her reluctant.

Opposite, a girl with a ponytail was munching on melon seeds. From time to time, the skin of small white melon seeds detached from the side of her lips. She glanced at Chang Xia curiously, the two of them were obviously the same age.

It's just judging from her clothes, she is a girl who is not good at grooming, with a red T-shirt on her upper body, a slightly wrinkled neckline, and a flower skirt with red edges on her lower body, which looks disordered in color, but between her eyebrows and eyes she looks older than Chang Xia.

She threw another melon seed into her mouth, turned her face to look out the window, and caught a glimpse of Chang Xia leaning back on the seat from the corner of her eye, her eyes half-closed, and her hands pressed the black cover notebook with a piece of paper torn off.

Chang Xia's eyes flickered, and she glanced at her in response, in this closed carriage, everyone was a fellow traveler for a short time, and she wanted to find someone to talk to.

She suddenly asked the girl, "Do you believe in online dating?" "Very abruptly.

Zhao Yuan, who was swallowing melon seeds, was stunned, a piece of melon seed skin didn't have time to spit out, it was on her lips, she blinked her eyes, and asked, "Well, what story?" Can you tell me more about it? ”

Chang Xia sighed sadly, and spoke to the audience who met on the train.

(b)

On the day he went to the station to pick up Bai Xian, Chang Xia nervously walked around the exit of the station, searching the crowd with his eyes wide open.

Looking at several figures that were similar in my imagination, my heart jumped. After looking at it again, he found that it didn't look like it at all, and his heart was tossing in the middle of this, and suddenly a figure with a bag on his back in the crowd smiled at him, and Chang Xia's head suddenly buzzed.

He was carrying a gray suitcase, not very tall, and could only be glimpsed of him wearing a gray and somewhat crumpled suit.

As for what he looked like, Chang Xia didn't dare to raise his head to look at it, and he didn't know until that afternoon that he didn't know that he was not a jade branch in the wind, and there were no clouds around him.

He was crowded out by a crowd of people and walked out of the path of the rusty iron fence. He was stripped from the world of sound love.

He was talking, smiling at Chang Xia, who had been bowing his head, his voice was the same, but from the distance of his voice, a stranger crept in, the stranger looked at them talking, and they didn't dare to look at each other as if they were thieves, cramped and uneasy.

In fact, it was only after I started to glance at him in a hurry, and I didn't look at him a second time in those days. Whether it is eating or walking, he keeps his head down like a thief.

It's like stepping into a weird movie venue, both of them are wearing masks, and they can only find it by their voices, and the characters there don't seem to be Chang Xia, and he doesn't look like the person who came out of the phone at all, but the wrong character sent by the bad director.

Originally, the meeting between lovers was normal, but the two of them have been in contact in the world of sound, and after QQ chatted and met, they have been writing letters and talking on the phone, and it took nearly half a year before they met for the first time.

It's like a normal story that is deliberately obstructed by the author and rewritten, so that it starts from the most ordinary page, but it appears strangely at the end.

They went to the snack bar next door to the station. When he sat down face-to-face, Chang Xia just held his cheeks with his hands, turned his eyes to look at the scenery outside the window, mixed with shyness and disappointment, and kept running his short hair with his hands.

Still unable to accept it, the person who walked out from behind the voice was sitting in front of her at the moment.

The previous person was embarrassed like a third person, expelling the image she had built up with her voice in her head.

The dish I ordered that day is also deeply remembered in Chang Xia, and the dried shrimp in the winter melon soup with dried shrimp is more difficult to catch with chopsticks than the small fish in the depths of the sea, and of course, that meal is completely tasteless.

At this time, there are countless pairs of people in online dating who go to meet from behind the Internet, and after they meet, they no longer fall in love; After meeting, one of them checked his luggage, ordered a package, and followed the man to marry away from home.

This is the only time Chang Xia quit his job in a state-owned enterprise and plans to go to Bai Xian, who he met on the Internet, in reality.

When she met Bai Xian online, it was when she was most desperate in the town.

If only it were a simple online dating. If her dreams are shattered after meeting him, she can continue to live in her life.

Reality just opened a crack by chance, and it coincided as usual. Maybe you'll be left with the pain of sleepless nights. But now, a black suitcase weighs all her belongings for eight years.

A weak girl fantasizes about changing her fate through the Internet, and the change in her life is based on such an accident.

If she hadn't walked into the Internet café that day, or opened her QQ a few seconds late, would Bai Xian still turn her head and click on her avatar after browsing the countless shaking avatars on it?

And what if Bai Xian hadn't clicked on her image at random? Assuming it, it's like seeing an avalanche under your feet and you're just a little bit away from collapsing together.

The avatars on the chat box are all dressed in illusory dream clothes, could it be that this accidental mouse movement determines her life.

It was a gossamer thrown from the dress of a goddess in the sky, and she dragged it to float in the air. Now, she actually wants to decide the fate of her entire life with this gossamer.

If the fairy takes away the gossamer, where will she be?

If this hairspring breaks, then where will she be?

Maybe she should really give up Bai Xian and stay in Shanghai as Aunt Hong advised.
