In the dead of night, Nan Yao carefully put the reading notes back in the drawer, got up and went back to bed.

Yihan came to look for her when she came back, but unfortunately it was when she was reading a book and was looking at it vigorously, so she didn't say anything. Yihan saw that she was busy, so he said hello and went out.

At this time, it was already more than twelve o'clock, but Nan Yao was not sleepy, her mind was now full of "Sky City", and she was determined to go to this store.

After searching on Weibo for a long time, Nanyao found that this store is all over the first-tier cities across the country, the most famous of which is the one in Shanghai, which is the largest and most luxuriously decorated.

Sliding past the exquisite pictures, the quiet and mysterious shop is stretching out its hands towards Nan Yao, like a black hole, sucking away Nan Yao's turbulent heart little by little.

Immediately decided, on Saturday, Nan Yao embarked on the road to find the "city in the sky", sitting on the high-speed train, her heart was so excited that she couldn't be more excited, the scenery outside the window was like an upside-down film, and the scenes flashed quickly. Nan Yao was thinking, isn't the speed of life the same as the speed of this high-speed railway, and it will disappear in a blink of an eye before he has time to savor it.

In a rare quiet time, Nan Yao carefully recalled what was written in the letter to Gallen, as if he could write it in the same way as "Letter from a Strange Woman". This letter will be all the memories of her and Gallen's entire adolescence, many things that only she remembers, and Gallen will not remember those little scenes at all.

As far as Gallen is concerned, Nan Yao is just a classmate who is limited to meeting and saying hello, and this greeting is still silent, only smiling slightly. But just a slight smile, but it always tugged at Nan Yao's throbbing heartstrings, which could make her happy for several days.

When I arrived in Shanghai, it was about eleven or twelve o'clock at noon, and after getting off the high-speed rail, I didn't have time to eat lunch, so Nan Yao couldn't wait to go to the "Sky City".

When you arrive at your destination, you can see the dazzling sunlight and look at the "Castle in the Sky" like a castle in a fairy tale, full of dreamy flavors. Nan Yao stood in place and marveled at its majesty and magnificence, and after being stunned for a while, he walked happily towards this Garden of Eden.

In front of the door, there are many magnificent flowers, and the gate is decorated with a unique flavor, the openwork gate is matched with yellow glass, and the arch-like top is a circle of bright flowers, and the two sides hang bright green leaves.

Once inside, you will be greeted by a lavishly decorated lobby with dense bookshelves on the left and right, and bronze bookshelves that seem to be about to break through the ornate chandeliers on the roof.

In the center of the lobby, a revolving staircase spirals to the second floor, and the first floor of the store is a bookstore, and the service to help people send letters is on the second floor. It is said that the service is run by an eccentric old woman, and many people have been scolded by her, and even refused to deliver letters.

Thinking of this, Nan Yao's heart suddenly became apprehensive, and her mind was swirling what to do if the old woman rejected her later, no, no matter what, she had to succeed. Nan Yao secretly made up his mind and walked straight towards the stairs.

There were a lot of people at the bookstore on Saturday, but fortunately it was noon, so many people left one after another. At this time, Nan Yao was like a fish swimming in the opposite direction, shuttling through the vast crowd.

As soon as he saw the sign when he arrived on the second floor, Nan Yao's heart was half cold. On the small blackboard at the top of the staircase are written the words "Today is full". At this time, she remembered that there is a quota here every day, and many people come here from thousands of miles, and often they have to go back if they can't catch up with the queue.

At that moment, Nan Yao's heart throbbed and hurt, and she stood there unwillingly staring at the sign for a long time, with mixed tastes in her heart. She was thinking that even if she got up early tomorrow morning, she would have to wait for the bookstore to open, and at that time, if she queued up again, she might not be able to take her turn.

There are only three places a day, which is pitiful, Nan Yao doesn't want to give up on the one hand, and has to give up on the other hand. Just as she was complaining in her heart, she suddenly remembered another terrible truth, that her letter had not yet begun to be written. After realizing this, Nan Yao was amused by her rough nerves, she couldn't help but stand in place and laugh, and passers-by looked at her suspiciously, thinking it was a nervous disorder.

Since you can't send a letter for the time being, let's take a good look at this place first. After Nan Yao made up his mind, he turned into the second floor.

Compared with the vigorous decoration on the first floor, the second floor is obviously much more ordinary, with rows of mailboxes basically occupying two-thirds of the area, leaving a small office room. From a distance, Nan Yao stretched his neck and glanced at it, and found that there were five or six staff members inside.

Next to the workshop, there is also a large room, the appearance of the room looks special, more like a house at home. A white delicate security door with a bunch of stars hanging on it, Nan Yao couldn't help but walk over.

The red stars are crowded together like exploding fireworks, and they are beautiful, and although they do not have a strong fragrance, they are also attractive. Nan Yao stared at it intently, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and he smiled slightly.

"You like the stars too?"

The old voice sounded behind her, Nan Yao was startled by this sudden words, she turned around, and saw that it was an old grandmother, so she smiled sweetly and nodded.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?"

"Ahh Nan Yao screamed in surprise, and at that moment she realized that the old woman in front of her might be the legendary old woman with a strange temper, who had been living in the bookstore and was inseparable from these letters every day.

Nan Yao moved to the side embarrassedly and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm in your way." ”

The old grandmother came over and took out the key from the small bag beside her, and with a "click", the door opened, and Nan Yao looked at her back as she entered, and sighed quietly.

"What are you sighing at a young age, come in and sit down." The old grandmother suddenly turned around and said to Nan Yao, who was melancholy outside the door, her small body had completely disappeared into the house.

Nan Yao hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and stepped into the house in three steps and two steps.

As soon as she entered, she was stunned by the sight in front of her, here, it really fulfilled all her fantasies about the accommodation house.

The living room is warm yellow, the walls are covered with goose yellow wallpaper, above the light gray sofa is a portrait of an elk, and in the quiet forest, an elk with camel-colored hair stands on the path, and its clear eyes are looking straight ahead.

A small round table is placed in the center, with a gray blanket underneath, and a TV stand in the same shade as the small table has a TV and a photo wall above it.

The old grandmother handed Nan Yao a pair of cotton and linen slippers, which were lotus pink, and there was a fawn on them, Nan Yao liked it very much, she carefully took off her shoes and put them at the door, and then put them into her favorite slippers.

"You're welcome, just sit down."

After saying this, the old grandmother went to the kitchen......

Nan Yao approached the photo wall, looked at the smiling faces on it, and suddenly felt very warm in his heart. It can be seen that these people may be employees who have just gone out to the workplace, or they may be relatives of the grandmother, in short, these must be the most precious memories for her.

"Little girl, have you eaten?" The old lady asked in a hurry with a bowl in her left hand and a colander in her right hand.

"Ah, I've eaten it." Nan Yao lied, but as soon as she finished speaking, she only heard two "cooing" sounds, obviously her stomach didn't want to lie.

She smiled awkwardly at the old woman......

After a while, the hot dumplings were brought up, and the grandmother first wiped her hands with a paper towel, then set up the chopsticks, and then slowly took off the apron on her body after the vinegar dish.

"Little girl, what's your name, the dumplings are good, come and eat." She beckoned to Nan Yao and shouted.

"My name is Nan Yao, thank you Granny Gu." Saying that, Nan Yao came over with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and asked again, "Can I call you Granny Gu, I read that everyone in the comment area above and below Zhihu calls you that." ”

"Of course you can, Nan Yao is, what a good name, there is a good girl in the far south, her name is Nan Yao, it's so good, you know what, you look very similar to me when I was young." As she spoke, Granny Gu went back to the room and took out a picture frame.

The black-and-white photo, with the unique flavor of that era, shows two people, a smiling girl holding a tall man.

Nan Yao looked at the person in the photo carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's indeed very similar, Granny Gu, is this your husband next to you?" ”

Hearing this, Granny Gu shook her head abruptly, she sighed softly, her cloudy eyes full of loneliness. Seeing this, Nan Yao felt very guilty, afraid that he would not touch the other party's sadness.

"Child, you eat dumplings first, it's getting cold, talk while eating." Saying that, Granny Gu picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a few steaming dumplings into Nan Yao's bowl.

After a pause, he continued: "He is not my husband, but he is the person I love the most in my life, I met him when I was in school, I fell in love at first sight, and secretly had a crush on him, and then during that special period, we went to different towns, I thought that I would confess to him when I went back, but God did not miss me, and before I could speak, he had married another girl." The thing I regret the most in my life is that I didn't make my heart known to him earlier, and if I had done it earlier, maybe the result would have been different. ”

Her words poked Nan Yao's heart at once, she could best understand this kind of feeling of love, thinking about it, she unconsciously shed tears.

She quickly pulled out a piece of paper, wiped away her tears, and sobbed: "Mother-in-law, I too, I fell in love with a boy, and I liked him for ten years, but he has a girlfriend, and I came here specifically to write a letter to him, a letter that carries the memories of our entire youth, and then send it to him twenty years later." ”

"Woo......" Granny Gu let out a sigh, she hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Why wait until twenty years later, can't you send it now, do you want to regret it like me?" ”

Nan Yao shook his head, sniffed, and choked up, "No, he already has a girlfriend, I shouldn't bother him." ”

"Then why write to him, and when he sees it twenty years later, if he is more troubled?"

Granny Gu's words woke up Nan Yao at once, yes, what kind of state of mind will Gallen be in when he sees this letter twenty years later? At that time, he was only in his forties, which was the age when couples were most prone to problems, and it was obviously not good.

"Then send it to him in fifty years." Nan Yao said with a serious face with a pair of big eyes.

Granny Gu laughed hahahahahaha In this way, you write the letter and send it to me, and I will keep it for you, and as for when to send it to your sweetheart, I will decide, do you think it will be okay? ”
