The rain started around 3 a.m. and continued to rain until just after 9 a.m. before it finally stopped. The hot weather www.biquge.info many days in a row has also come to an end due to this heavy rain.

Although the weather was cool and pleasant, there was hardly a single visitor in the park because of the small puddles that had accumulated here and there were still wet trees, grass and benches for resting.

In the woods above, a huge sound of mountains and rivers was ringing at this time.

Outside the gate of the park is a road, which is also part of the county ring road, so although the location of the park is a bit remote, there are pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the main road at any time. From time to time, you can hear the horn of a car.

Despite the sound of torrents and cars, I still felt as if I was in the middle of a silent mountain forest as I sat on a wet bench in the park.

Growing up, I don't know how many times I have come to this park to sit silently on a bench like this.

Especially on rainy days, as long as the rain is not particularly heavy and it falls on the weekend, I will always be summoned to this park by something in my heart.

I'm not here to play, but to sit and listen to the rain, the wind, and the footsteps that can be heard faintly in the wind and rain.

- This is my secret.

This secret has been hidden in my heart for more than twenty years!

Even though the footsteps disappeared one early morning when I was one year old, I can still hear them in the park!

Although I never asked anyone, and even I didn't know who made that footstep, I always had a feeling that the owner of that footstep might be someone who had abandoned me in this park.

Chapter I

When I walked out of the gate of the park, it was already evening. Although I didn't even eat lunch today, I didn't feel hungry at all and didn't want to go home.

I didn't know where to go, when a bus stopped in front of the platform on the right side of the park gate, and I hesitated a little before stepping onto the bus.

After the bus started again, it took about 10 minutes along the ring road to a small roundabout on the old street. There is a shopping mall building on the right side of the small carousel, and there is a small road next to the shopping mall building that leads to Binjiang Road.

I saw a lot of passengers getting off here, and I got off here with nothing to do and no destination.

The passengers who were in the same car just now rushed to their own places after getting off the bus, blending into the flow of people and couldn't find them.

Feeling a little depressed, I strode towards the path next to the mall building. Two minutes later, I left the hustle and bustle of the city and walked onto Binjiang Avenue.

Although it's dinner time, many people on Binjiang Avenue are already exercising.

From top to bottom, there are four parallel promenades. Each promenade is about the same length, about 3 kilometers. Every 300 or even 500 meters, there is a staircase that connects the four promenades. Except for the top promenade, which is wide and has trees on both sides of the road, the other three promenades are bare concrete paths. Therefore, those who are running or walking on the promenade on the three floors below are completely unobstructed.

Immediately adjacent to the promenade on the lowest floor is the turquoise Wujiang River.

Since I don't like to exercise and I haven't eaten, I don't think I'll be able to go home for long, so I didn't follow the stone steps to the lower floors, but walked aimlessly along the wide boulevard at the top.

Along the way, I met many students who were younger and more energetic than me, both in face and spirit, although I didn't know any of them, but from their crowds and laughter, I guessed that many of them were students who had just taken the national college entrance examination.

There's really no reason why they shouldn't laugh, because they're having a holiday that means something special to them. -- This holiday, they finally have no homework to do, so they can play to their heart's content, and even squander and indulge this rare time of youth. It wasn't until two months later that these younger students would pick up their mood and welcome another period of their study life with a new look.

Seeing that these students all looked carried away, I inevitably felt a little lost and jealous in my heart. I even thought to myself, "What is there to look forward to, even if you are admitted to a good university, you may not be able to find a job, and even if you do find a job, it may not be a job that you really like!"

The reason for this dark psychology is that I have been graduating from college for almost two years, but I still haven't found a job that allows me to last for more than three months.

"Unemployment after graduation" is my psychological portrayal in the past two years.

I'm unemployed right now, and it's been almost half a year since I last quit my job.

I was walking alone, and suddenly my phone rang, and I took out my phone from my pants and looked at it, only to see that it was an unfamiliar phone number.

"It can't be that company, is it?"

The thought flashed through my mind.

Although I have been secretly looking forward to the company calling me today, I only sent my resume and other information to the company that needs to recruit staff through email last night, but it is now the end of work, and I am only a graduate of a second-rate university, neither diploma nor work resume has many advantages at all, that company will not be like can't recruit people, as soon as it receives my resume, it can't wait to call me to notify me of the job!

I guessed as I pressed the answer button.

"Hello, are you Mr. Yang Liang?"

It was a young, strange girl voice.

For some reason, her voice sounded a little vibrato.

I was slightly startled, "I'm Yang Liang, where are you?"

"I'm Xiao Su from Chongqing Bo'ai Affairs Center, and I called you because I saw the application information you sent to our company. ”

Ah, really the call I've been looking forward to!

God, is it because their company can't recruit people with better qualifications, or is it my luck this time? Before anyone else saw the job postings posted by their company on the Internet, they got the first time?!

"Oh! ”

Although I was very excited, I deliberately restrained myself and pretended to be neither humble nor arrogant.

"That's right, I'm the person in charge of recruitment for this position, from the day before yesterday when our company posted the job information on the Internet, until this afternoon before work, we have received a total of 12 people who are willing to apply for the job to send us the company's resume, originally your conditions are not ...... Not the best, but I think some of your conditions can still be considered, and I called you to confirm some information. ”

"Oh," it wasn't the news that announced that I had been officially hired. Although there was some disappointment and uneasiness in my heart, my self-esteem did not allow me to show pity, so I coughed calmly.

"What information would you like to confirm?"

After hesitating for a second, the other party asked a question that surprised me very much:

"I'm sorry, because I ...... After looking at the information you filled in, as well as the photo on your ID card, I thought you were a bit like someone I knew before, so I called this number and hoped you would ...... Don't be surprised. ”

I was slightly surprised, "Is that so, do we know each other?" Although I was a little worried, I still said honestly: "I don't seem to know any classmates or others with the surname Su." ”

The girl was noncommittal to my question, and asked me a question that surprised me even more:

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to take the liberty of asking you a question that might not be very polite, did you spend time at Hwaseong Children's Welfare Home as a child?"

As soon as I heard the words Hwaseong Children's Welfare Institute, I couldn't help but be shocked!

Twenty years on, I've almost forgotten about that children's welfare home! I can't imagine that someone would ask me this question unexpectedly today!

"Who are you?"

"Can you answer that question I asked?"

Although I felt like someone had my scar uncovered, I hesitated for a moment and answered the question truthfully:

"I spent some time in that institution. ”

As soon as I finished answering the other person's question, I heard the girl on the other end of the phone gasp excitedly.

I had a hunch that either the other person might know me or my family, or that she had been in that school before!

We were silent for two seconds before the girl said to me in an excited voice, "I can't imagine that it's really you! Do you remember the little girl who left the school the same day as you?"

I was shocked, "You're not ...... That's her, right?!"

Twenty years have passed, and I can't remember her name anymore, but I even have a vague memory of her appearance!

"I'm the same Hua Xiaoyue who was adopted on the same day as you and left the Hwaseong Children's Welfare Institute on the same day!
