Prologue
On September 1, 2019, I returned to the city and went to a café called "Meet".
The boss is a gentle-looking woman with a low ponytail and two shallow dimples when she laughs.
I asked her, "Hello, may I ask, is there a person named Zhang Huaixu here?" ”
"Excuse me, are you .....?"
"I was his high school classmate."
"Okay. Zhang Huaixu? He'll be back in a moment, and you can sit there and wait a while. A hint of doubt flashed in the woman's eyes, but she quickly recovered, gently led me to the sofa, smiled and said a few words of greeting, and went about her business.
The sun was shining on this day, and the last time it was so shining, I sat in front of the classroom window, looking through the leaves, and looking at the sky and the clouds as I do now. I sat by the window, looking at the fleeting scenery outside the window.
On September 1, 2008, I got on the train heading north. Due to my parents' work problems, I changed schools frequently, and this time was no exception.
This ethereal, on-the-go life made me like duckweed have nowhere to take root, and made me more reticent.
My name is Tan Lige, and I am an ordinary high school student who doesn't like to talk or participate in group activities. It's not that I'm withdrawn by nature, it's just that I'm nervous easily. There is no specialty, born like a cattail, obscure.
In my memory, I didn't say a word in school except for the introduction of myself on the first day of school, and no one took the initiative to talk to me, because ...... I was so ordinary that I barely caught any attention other than being a transfer student. Also, who will remember a girl with an ordinary-looking, mediocre grades and a good little broken ponytail?
I'm not a rich lady, I'm just a poor little worm with damaged vocal cords who was stopped by the referee in the middle of the game. Because of this, I had to speak quietly, and over time, the sound was like the sound of mosquitoes, which became my habit.
I also don't want to make friends, because for various reasons, I change schools every few months. Rather than face separation, I'd rather never see each other.
I was 17 years old, and I never imagined that this would be the most memorable time of my life......... At that time, we were all the best......
At this time, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat in front of me, smiled lightly, and said to me:
"Hey, long time no see."
