Chapter 14: A Chance Encounter at the Crossroads of Fate
On the pedestrian path of Yinjiang Bridge, there is an endless stream of pedestrians.
For a firefighter who is always on call, it is a rare luxury to be able to become one of them in the golden hour of 8 o'clock in the evening and enjoy the beautiful and colorful night view of the Yinjiang River.
Chae Seung-young is content with what he has now, and he is sincerely grateful for all the things that have happened to him lately, but there is only one thing that bothers him: he often can't keep up with the rhythm in conversations with his girlfriend in love. Although he has been working hard to study all kinds of masterpieces in the name of "masterpieces of youth literature", he is still a long way from the realm of literary and artistic teenagers.
The literary girl with long hair and shawl and bangs and eyebrows held a cup of burnt fairy grass with an unopened lid and still residual warmth, strolling on the side of the guardrail, suddenly felt a feeling, her eyes closed slightly, and said softly: "Look, the bright moon and clear light are far less than this bright light, only when the reflection of spots and spots is reflected on the surface of the river, can it show a little sense of existence in the bustling city." But because it is so uncommon, and because it needs to be searched, it has a more real beauty when it is revealed. ”
As soon as the words fell, the naughty autumn wind that used to lift people's skirts everywhere was blowing very obediently, holding up the girl's long black hair, and the hair was fluttering, which was more sultry than the moonlight.
Cai Chengying knew that he should say something in response at this time, but the only sentence he could think of related to moonlight was "bright moonlight in front of the bed".
Ah, in front of the bed, the bright moon, the light? No, no, it's too dirty.
In the midst of anxiety, a flash of inspiration, Cai Chengying reached out to wrap his girlfriend's shoulder and smiled: "Yes, just like you." ”
Although I don't know what to say, but when the wind is noisy and the moonlight is sultry, isn't it a textbook witty answer to compare the beauty of my girlfriend to the beauty of the bright moon?
Cai Chengying happily and carefully observed his girlfriend's expression, if there is a sweet and happy smile, it is a perfect mark.
However, the girl pouted, "Are you saying that my sense of existence is low?" yes, my sense of presence is low, and when I hit the automatic door, the door won't open. Compared with the young ladies and sisters, my appearance and sense of presence are like the moonlight on the river, dotted with stars, difficult to detect. ”
"No, no, no, I mean......" Cai Chengying burst out with a strong desire to survive and said with his hands dancing, "No matter how bright the light is, it can only shine on one room and one street, but the moonlight can shine on the earth." Also, the beauty of moonlight is noble, you see, we all look down at the street lamps in high-rise buildings, but no matter how high we stand, we have to look up at the moon, right? Hey? That guy was weird. ”
Halfway through the coaxing words, Cai Chengying's attention suddenly shifted.
He saw a thin young man standing next to the guardrail in front of him, leaning on the handrail with his two arms, looking at the river at his feet expressionlessly, looking confused.
The traffic on the bridge has never stopped for a moment, and the young man next to the guardrail has not moved, the two are moving and still, the contrast is stark, as if they exist in two worlds.
"Him?" The girl turned her head and wanted to look at Cai Chengying, but only saw his side face, "What's wrong with him?" Isn't it normal to stand on a bridge and blow the wind? Maybe he's waiting for someone. ”
"It's not like standing somewhere waiting for someone, and you'll play with your phone to pass the time, right? I don't think his expression is right, and besides, I always think he is a little familiar. Cai Chengying's eyes seemed to be glued to the young man, and he didn't move away when he replied, and after speaking, he took the girl's wrist and walked forward together.
"Hey!" Cai Chengying walked two meters in front of the young man and stood still, and greeted him, "Dude! ”
The young man turned around, and there was unconcealed surprise and surprise in his eyes, which made Cai Chengying even more puzzled.
"You know me?" Cai Chengying asked subconsciously, and then said a little crampedly, "Have we met somewhere?" Well, are you alright? ”
The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard her boyfriend say such a cliché to a strange young man.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, I'm fine." The young man put on a cold posture of refusing to be thousands of miles away, and after answering Cai Chengying's questions one by one, he added with a strange face: "I'm upset, it's okay to stand here and blow the wind." ”
"Oh." Cai Chengying scratched the back of her head, probably aware of the strange gaze coming to her side, and unconsciously glanced at her girlfriend, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the cup of burnt fairy grass in her hand that had not yet been inserted into the straw.
"What, everyone has times when they are upset, but there is no hurdle that can't be overcome, don't think about it, I'll invite you to a drink!"
The suffocating silence made the scene extremely embarrassing, and the young man stared at Cai Chengying for a moment, and suddenly smiled, then he took the paper cup and said thank you sincerely.
The inexplicable conversation ended in an inexplicable way, and the girl was led by Cai Chengying to continue walking to the other side of the bridge, and asked both dissatisfied and curious: "Why did you give him my burning fairy grass?" I want to take it home and drink it. ”
"It's still early, just go to another store and buy you another drink." Tsk, I don't know why, maybe it's because the last time I saw you on the bridge, I ...... you with a cup of roasted fairy grass."
"Stop, stop!" The girl's cheeks were red, and she hurriedly shook her head, "Don't say it, oops! Don't talk about it again! ”
"Why can't you mention it, I think it's quite romantic...... Well, I won't mention it later. Cai Chengying saw the danger signal in his girlfriend's eyes, and immediately changed his words wittily and obediently, and slapped his forehead violently after speaking, "Oh! I remembered who he was! ”
"Who? That guy just now? ”
"That's right! I said how do you feel a little familiar, haha, let me tell you, at that time, there was an Internet café fire, I went out with the team out of the fire, the fire at the scene was not big, but almost all the people in the Internet café ran out, except for a few network managers in the Internet café, he was the only one left, the network managers were trying to extinguish the fire with fire extinguishers and bottled water, do you know what he was doing? He's still concentrating on the game! He didn't let go of the mouse and keyboard until we cut off the power supply to the entire circuit of the Internet café, ha. ”
The girl tilted her head and thought about it, and exclaimed, "Hey, has this been on the news?" I remember I saw it. ”
"I guess it's on the news, but if he didn't pat his face, maybe he didn't know he was on the news." Cai Seungying carefully recalled the scene at that time, and felt both ridiculous and admired, and couldn't help but sigh, "If he could put his focus and enthusiasm for playing games into other places, it would be very successful." ”
