Chapter 19: I Found Her
It was one day after the National Day in '17 that I noticed an inconspicuous piece of her circle of friends. It was an advertisement for a job posting, with no address on it, a very written message, plus a picture with the words "so-and-so" in the lower right of the picture.
She's a selfish person.,Generally don't easily disclose things that are not related to it in her circle of friends.,In addition to selfies.,Food.,It's more about a recently popular music recommendation.,Recruitment notices are unique.,So something goes wrong must have a demon.,That information aroused my interest.。
I am very fortunate to live in an era where technology is particularly developed, as long as it does not reach the level of Alzheimer's, the clues are enough to easily find a person, and I can easily locate the location related to the content of her circle of friends through the guidance of the map software APP. The map shows three locations with similar names, and the closest to me is only a few kilometres away.
Just from there, and then step by step, I didn't think it would hit the ground running.
I deliberately got off work early that day, for fear of missing the closest opportunity to her. In order to avoid being overwhelmed when I said goodbye, I deliberately chose the drop-off location a few hundred meters away from the place where she might be seen.
The so-called advertising company, and the kind of roadside stores commonly do luminous copying stores are roughly the same, in a less lively area of a certain street, better than other stores is that the staff is relatively younger, the decoration style is not like the common kind of glass written copying, the advertising is as simple and rude, but relatively young, working there, it is not too boring, the store plus her, no more than six people. That's right, she was there, in a very conspicuous position, just a passing by, and I saw her.
The dark night of late autumn in the north came earlier, but at six o'clock, the street lights came on one after another, and the night was a good cover for me, and when I appeared almost fully armed at the location of the store, almost no one could see my intentions.
Compared with before, she doesn't seem to have changed much, as quiet as ever, as cold as ever, everything around her doesn't seem to affect her, it feels like she has always lived in a world that has nothing to do with her, and the look of burying her head is very similar to what I looked like when I first met her. I have thought about countless scenes when I see her again, and I have imagined countless times when I must greet her when I meet her, but at the moment of real goodbye, my mind suddenly goes blank, and that kind of helplessness looks like a scene where a thief who steals is caught in a bag, the only difference is that this thief is not panicking, just smirking constantly, as if he has picked up something very valuable.
The nightlife on that street is not very rich, and the stores are relatively deserted, unlike the other neighborhoods that are brightly lit. It's more lifeless than inaccessible, and many roadside stores close at seven o'clock, and I found a suitable corner after a few casual passes, and stopped at a step more than ten meters away from their store. If he hadn't appeared later, maybe I would have said to her that day that long time no see.
At eight o'clock, she left as the last employee of the company to leave, the reason why she was the last to leave, because she was waiting for another person to appear, when that person's figure appeared outside the window, she showed a rare smile on her face, the kind of girlish shyness she seemed to only present to the person she wanted to present, the person who belonged to her world.
At that time, I didn't choose to leave very freely, the two villains in my head fought, and the decent side lost. Like an Assassin who could only hide in the shadows, I followed my prey for a short time, and I was called an Assassin just to sound decent.
Not far from that company, there was a local junior college, and it was also their final destination, and I could almost tell that she was happy with him, and along the way, she chattered like a little girl and told him all the interesting things she encountered that day, like a common couple on campus, girls and boys told interesting things about the day, and boys looked at each other with doting faces, and then the girls smiled flatteringly.......
The boy sent her downstairs and left, as if their meeting was just to be alone with each other for a while, and it wasn't a formal date. They may be classmates, or seniors, or they may just belong to the same school, at least for sure, they are together, at least for the moment.
After all, the building near the water still got the moon first.
That day, I walked on the streets of Taiyuan late at night for a long time as usual, and I still gave up the plan to see her again, and from that moment on, my appearance was meaningless. Some things are better not to say, and some faces are better not to be seen.
