Chapter 3: A Reunion Through Time
When he walked to the intersection and waited for the traffic light, Qingci found a large bookstore diagonally across the road.
Qingci likes to read, reading can make people's hearts peaceful, it just so happened that she finished reading the books she brought from home, looked at the bookstore in front of her, and thought about picking two new books.
Pushing open the glass door of the bookstore, the smell of books in the room was blowing in her face, and her sad and uneasy heart was slightly calmed, Qingci walked to the recommended bookshelf placed at the door of the store, and swept her eyes to find new books that could attract her attention.
"Cold and Charming World", "White-haired Lanjun", "It Turned Out to Be a Wolf King", "Leaving the Princess" ...... Most of the books on the shelves are popular novels and young adult literature, and just when she was a little disappointed, a title caught her eye - "The Sun God and the God of Wine" (the title of this book is purely a blind fabrication, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence).
In Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy", the origin of tragedy is explored through the symbolic analysis of Apollo, the god of the sun, and Dionysus, the god of wine.
Qing Ci took the book down and flipped through it, confirming that it was not a book that introduced Western mythology but discussed and analyzed the spirit of the sun god and the spirit of Dionysus, and was ready to buy the book.
Just when she closed the book and was about to go to the checkout, she suddenly found three small characters printed under the six big characters "Sun God and Bacchus" on the cover: Su Bo
Qing Ci was stunned, she excitedly flipped through the book again, especially the cover fold at the beginning and end, she wanted to find a trace of information about the author, but she didn't.
There is not much to say about the author in the book.
Subo ......
Could this be his book?
Looking at the familiar name "Subo", which could no longer be familiar, tears blurred his eyes unconsciously.
In his senior year, Su Bo left X University and went to Beijing University B to study for a Ph.D.
Qing Ci raised his hand and stroked the name on the cover affectionately, as if he could touch that person in this way.
She was so engrossed in her that she didn't notice the figure behind her approaching her.
……
Su Bo has been in S City for two days.
I heard that he came to S City, and a friend in the circle who lived in S City told him that the book he published three years ago was sold here, and after dinner, he came out to hang out.
Su Bo originally just came in to take a look temporarily, thinking that this kind of purely academic thing he wrote should be unreadable, but who knew that in front of the bookshelf, he saw a beautiful woman in fashionable clothes standing there staring at the book in her hand motionless.
Judging from the cover, the book seemed to be the one he wrote, "The Sun God and the God of Wine", out of curiosity, Su Bo walked over, and when he got closer, he found that the woman's side face was so familiar.
After looking at it for a while, Su Bo finally recognized Qingci.
Compared with ten years ago, she has become much more mature and charming, exuding the charm of a mature woman, and if it weren't for her touching the author's name over and over again, he wouldn't even recognize her as the girl who broke into his heart without warning ten years ago.
She's more beautiful than ever.
There is something dazzling about the beauty that is impossible to ignore.
Su Bo stood behind Qing Ci and looked at it for a long time, and finally broke the silence by speaking: "This lady, do you need the author's autograph?" ”
Suddenly, she heard someone talking behind her, startled Qing Ci, she subconsciously looked back, and she saw the man she hadn't seen for ten years.
Qing Ci couldn't believe his eyes, the man standing in front of him was really Su Bo who had appeared in his dreams countless times, ten years had passed, his face had grown old with the passage of time, and at the same time, his unique temperament had become more outstanding because of the years of carving.
Before he knew it, the book slipped out of Qing Ci's hand.
The sound of the book falling on the ground "snapped" finally woke up the shocked Qingci, she hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, but touched Su Bo's hand picking up the book, and Qingci quickly took her hand back like an electric shock.
Su Bo looked at her movements, smiled with a complicated expression, and said in a calm voice: "Want this book? I'll send you. After that, he took the book and went to the front desk to pay the bill.
Qing Ci turned around and looked at his figure walking towards the checkout step by step, his mood was complicated to chaos.
Su Bo, who had settled the account, borrowed a pen from someone, opened the book cover, and wrote in the blank space of the first page: Su Bo gave a green speech
When I wrote it, I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, the word "Ci" in Qingci and the word "Su" in Su Bo were connected together.
Then he handed the book to Qing Ci and said with a smile: "Your autograph." ”
Su Boxiao was polite and reserved, with the demeanor of an elder, and there seemed to be nothing else besides that.
Qing Ci also smiled back, reunited after many years, it turned out that he could be so calm, Qing Ci took the book, tried hard to calm himself, and said softly: "Thank you." ”
The book had been bought, and the two of them walked away but stopped at the door in unison.
Looking at the brilliant night outside, no one could bear to be the first to leave, so they stood at the door for more than ten seconds.
In the end, it was Qing Ci who made up his mind to break the silence: "Long time no see, can you find a place to sit for a while?" ”
"Okay." Su Bo took over with some eagerness and said, "I just know that there is a café with a very good environment nearby. ”
