Chapter 3: The Pacific Video
After that, Xiao Fan continued to be depressed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but fortunately, time is a good medicine, although it can't be cured of the disease, but it can make the memory gradually hidden. The trivial things in life or work make the cerebral cortex automatically forget some worries.
It went by like this for a while, maybe a month or two in between, and a month or two was enough to make people forget something, if it was something they hadn't touched for a long time. And of course, people.
Just when Xiao Fan had already forgotten about it and buried that memory in the depths of the sea. But fate is so fond of playing tricks on people, and when you were already planning to live seriously, it caught you off guard.
It's still raining, it's still raining, it's still that gloomy sky. The whole city seems to be reflected in the light of the water, the reflection of pedestrians, the reflection of cars, the reflection of buildings, the reflection of neon. It's like a rainy city.
Xiao Fan walked alone in this rainy city, the huge empty city, although it was overcrowded, but he only felt that he was a lonely phantom.
Xiao Fan stood alone on the overpass, holding an umbrella, watching the people coming and going under the bridge, a faint sorrow lingered in his heart, just like this dark sky.
Office workers in leather shoes walk through the rain with umbrellas, fashionable women with shopping bags trot to find shelter from the rain, and salesmen with black backpacks walk on foot despite the raindrops. There are also middle-aged uncles riding electric cars and wearing raincoats crossing the road.
However, Xiao Fan saw that person on the bridge. She, again, appeared in his field of vision.
She, Xiao Fan still doesn't know her name, and she doesn't know who she is, or what kind of ghost she is. Regardless of these for the time being, even if she is a ghost, Xiao Fan can't wait to meet her at the moment, and he must not let her escape again this time. He must have grabbed her hand with his own hands and asked for clarification. Even if he was presumptuous, even if he was rude, he didn't care about it.
She was wearing a pink umbrella, and today she was wearing a skirt, a black dress, and a pair of black high heels. The style is a little different from that night, but the temperament is roughly similar. Although I couldn't see her face clearly from a distance, I couldn't see her expression clearly, but I couldn't feel it without looking, that cold and arrogant look.
Seeing that the other party was about to turn into a street corner, Xiao Fan couldn't even take care of the umbrella and abandoned the umbrella. Xiao Fan hurriedly descended the steps, and then ran desperately to the street corner in front of him.
By the time they reached the street corner, she had disappeared into the rain. Xiao Fan looked around, his eyes searching hard.
Yet she disappeared again without a trace. It's like a ghost lurking in a corner of the city, which can hide everywhere and disappear into invisibility.
Xiao Fan drooped his head in despair, letting the rain hit his head and shoulders, drenching his hair and clothes.
Xiao Fan just wants to look up to the sky and roar at the moment, this hateful God, thief God, don't tease like this!
Just when Xiao Fan was about to retreat, he was ruthlessly tricked by God again, because he caught a glimpse of her in a video store not far away.
It turned out that she didn't go.
Xiao Fan's eyes rejuvenated, and he walked over quickly.
"Pacific Video Store".
Ordinary door signs, except for the font size, look no different from other stores. But these three words of the Pacific Ocean instantly bring people's thoughts to the sea, as if this old video store is open on the other side of the ocean.
I have to say that the name of this store is indeed a bit interesting.
When you enter the store, you immediately feel a nostalgic smell, and you can see a wide variety of records, CDs, and DVDs in the store. From the outside, this store doesn't seem to be big, but when I come in at this moment, I find that the small store is a space that spreads inward, and I see that the store is very deep, and looking inside from the door of the store, it seems that there is a secret passage that cannot be seen.
The entire store exudes a unique smell that makes you feel as if you have traveled through time and space and are in another space. It's like it's isolated from the world, and even the people inside don't feel like people of this era.
A nostalgic song is playing in the Pacific Video Store at the moment, called "Cold Rainy Night", this is a song that Xiao Fan is all too familiar with, sung by the singer Huang Jiaju, who has passed away a long time ago, and it should be regarded as a well-known song. Especially the people of that era heard it the most.
The heavy and powerful sound permeated the entire video store, and the atmosphere was perfect for the continuous rain outside.
The shelves and countertops in the video store are covered with all kinds of products that do not belong to this era, and the names of some records, even singers, are unheard of by Xiao Fan. I guess it's some unknown original singers, underground singers or something, in short, you don't have to worry about sales.
The owner of the Pacific Video Store, let's just think of the decadent uncle sitting in the shadow of the counter as the boss, because the counter is very high, the whole store is very dark, the owner has long hair, a cigarette in his mouth, but he doesn't light it. When the boss was young, he probably had the rebellious and decadent atmosphere left over from many avant-garde youths of that era. But the boss is a unique individual who has never been assimilated.
Xiao Fan searched for the person's shadow as soon as he entered the store, but the figure did not appear in Xiao Fan's eyes.
It was estimated that it was blocked by the shelf, and it was detoured inside.
Xiao Fan then pretended to be a visitor to the store, and began to stare at the record casually, sometimes picking up a record with his hand and turning it over to look at it, while at the same time, his footsteps slowly moved inward.
The more he walked inside, the more he could feel a different aura, or the palpitating and exciting feeling that he had not seen for a long time. Xiao Fan's heartbeat began again, his whole heart was pounding wildly, and his breathing became rapid.
Not again.
A sign of unease.
But Xiao Fan was determined to seize the opportunity this time and couldn't let her slip away again.
Xiao Fan pretended to be calm and began to look between the rows of shelves in the back. Finally, I saw the figure in the middle of the first row of shelves.
She was dressed in a tulle black dress, and her long black hair hung down over her shoulders. Although he only saw her back, Xiao Fan felt that his heart suddenly calmed down for no reason, and he couldn't say why he had such a strange feeling. And there is also an indescribable sense of happiness and pleasure, as if it is a primitive initial movement.
She stopped at a record and saw her gently pick up a blue record and look at the words on it.
Xiao Fan took two more steps, and he decided to talk.
However, her footsteps suddenly sounded, and she saw that she had already put the record back in its place, and her figure was speeding away from the store.
Xiao Fan chased after him.
