Chapter 1: Long Time No See 1

Next Chapter

The taxi slowly pulled up in front of the hotel.

The hotel is quiet, the lobby is empty, I am the only guest who is checking in, because of the hustle and bustle of the holiday, such a quiet atmosphere, so that the reception and I naturally lower the voice of talking.

I don't remember how many times I've been to the city, but every time I choose to stay at this hotel. Because it's familiar, because it relaxes me a lot of times. Everything here is handy.

I chose a room close to the main road, with a high floor and a view of the city through the bay window.

Maybe it's because of some kind of voice calling, a little stunned, I didn't deliberately arrange my own itinerary, the Bluetooth speaker in the room is connected to the mobile phone, and at this time Liang Bo's song "Appear and Leave" is playing in an infinite loop.

I sat on the bay window and looked across from the tall building I don't remember when it was built. It's a building full of floor-to-ceiling glass, and the occasional figure walking around the glass seems to be busy. The traffic on the main road should be busy, and even the white doves flying over the opposite building seem to have a hurried rhythm.

Squatting on the bay window with your head deep in your knees is a position I like, "When you're tired, remember to squat down and hug yourself." Who said this sentence that suddenly came to mind?

"Ding-dong......"

The door was opened by a familiar face, as if it was the manager of this hotel, a lady in her mid-thirty-five years old.

"Mr. Liu, long time no see!" There is no way to make people feel offended by a professional smile on his face.

"Long time no see!"

"This is a fruit bowl and red wine for you, I wish you a pleasant stay!"

"Thank you!"

"Sir, don't seem to be looking very good, do you need any help?"

"Oh, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while."

"Okay, I'll close the door for you, and call the front desk anytime you have something."

"Thank you!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you." Before closing the door, she added.

yes, it's been a long time, and during this time, it seems that I've been so busy that I forgot everything around me. She just said that she hadn't seen her for a long time, how long has it been? It's so rare that she remembers me.

There is a shopping mall under the high-rise building opposite, which is bustling with people. There is a Starbucks store, and there are a lot of people sitting under the parasols outside the store, and they must have lived or worked in the neighborhood, or, like me, they came all the way from afar. Viewing from this angle is also a special perspective.

Without warning, there was a palpitation, as if there was a familiar back, sitting under the parasol at the moment and talking to the person opposite. Then, the rhythm of the heart's beating accelerated, and even the breathing became stronger, and this kind of power and beating, together with the panic, made people a little hypoxic.

Gratgy.

"You're walking too fast." Zimu followed me quickly, apparently a little overdrawn after walking through that section of the slope.

I slowed myself down and waited for her to catch up.

"Do you usually walk so fast?" Zimu gasped.

"The physical strength is better."

"I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all!" Zimu put himself in the perspective of the weak, and did not let it express the unhappiness in his heart at all. "Aren't you afraid of kicking a rock and falling?"

"Looks like you're looking forward to seeing me fall." In the midst of a man's self-awareness, I tried to switch the subject.

"Good! Fell into my arms. ”

"Then do you have to go ahead of me?"

There is no need to set a destination, we just walk, and every time we walk side by side with Zimu alone, we are always in a trance and feel unreal. That day, we measured the height and circumference of the city's only mountain with our feet.

"Have you ever seen snow?" Zimu asked me.

"I've seen it!"

In the late autumn season, the wind temperature is not so friendly, which will always make people look forward to and panic about the arrival of the next season. Like most people, I love seasons like this and don't like or hate the coming winter season.

"I'd love to see you!" It seems that unlike me, Zimu is significantly more interested in the snow in winter than in the autumn wind. "I love autumn, but I've never seen snow." She said.

"Let's go and see it in a while!"

"Really?" Zimu was clearly pleased with my promise, and his hands were visibly tight on my arms.

"Really." I smiled back and looked at her face earnestly.

As if in response to my promise, Zimu gave me a big hug. Through her trench coat, her body was soft and fit my chest. I gently wrapped my right arm around her waist and felt like it should be easy to wrap around her waist 360 degrees, but I didn't do that, so let's just make this hug just right.

On this windy autumn afternoon, the sky was overcast. We hugged each other, a bit like warming each other, we all wanted to find more temperature from each other, and we didn't mean to let go. Still a little in a trance, but a sense of satisfaction filled me, and I gently moved the corners of my mouth.

"Will you remember me?" As if talking to himself, Zimu muttered.

"Hmm!"

"Will you remember me forever?"

"Definitely!" To prove my resolve, I raised my voice.

"Even if it's ten or twenty years?"

"Even if it's ten, twenty, thirty years, I'll always remember it." Our questions and answers seemed very funny.

"Haha!" Zimu broke free of me, "Stupid." "That's what she always calls me." Have you heard the story of this mountain? ”

"Nope." The girl's mind jumped so fast, her hands suddenly lost their place to place, and she could only insert them in the pockets of her trench coat, and continued to walk slowly forward, waiting for her to say something.

Zimu learned that I put my hands in my pockets, looked into the distance, and said as I walked.

"There used to be no mountains here, only one family, a big family, and this family had a very beautiful daughter. One day, a very poor scholar said that he was a distant relative of her family and had come to her family to work as a domestic servant. Later, after getting along for a long time, the poor scholar and the girl fell in love. ”

"In love? It's a modern word. "Jokes that are out of place are always striking.

Zimu glared at me fiercely: "Later, the girl's family found out and wanted to separate them. So, he deceived the scholar and waited for him to get fame before he could marry a girl, and the scholar was very stupid and actually believed it. Just a few days after the scholar went out, the girl's family hid from the girl and insisted on marrying her to a family with the right family. ”

"The back should be miserable!" I could feel what she wanted to say, "I thought, this story is here first!" I am hungry. ”

"What do you want to eat?"

"Let's go eat a bowl of noodles."

I found a shop nearby, and the two of them shared the same bowl of noodles. Originally, he wanted one for one person, but Zimu said that he was not very hungry, and he could eat a little bit. Zimu did eat very little, and it seemed that he simply drank some soup.

It seems that he has walked a little too much today and is a little tired, Zimu looked out the window in a daze.

"You won't forget me, will you?" Zimu repeated that sentence again.

"Hmm!"

"Don't forget me."

"Well, definitely!"

After sending her away that day, I didn't see her again for a long time. For a long time, what kept echoing in my ears was her last sentence, "If I could, I wish I hadn't known you." ”
