On the train bound for the south

With the last whistle, the train left. Ann found her berth, packed her luggage, sat in the corridor window and took a long breath. It's strange. I feel relieved. Peace of mind: I can finally leave this sad north.

After lunch, Ann is still not sleepy. She looked up at the sunshine outside the window, looked at the trees and houses in the distance, and then calculated the time to get on the bus, guessing that it was probably in Anhui. Ann smiled, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Li Zhen: How long will it take to get to Beijing? I have arrived in Anhui. No wonder you are so beautiful in Zhong Ling!

Li Zhen is Ann's roommate and her best friend in college. They have seen cattle and horses on the Mongolian grassland together, and seen the rivers and seas in Qingdao together ... They have done many interesting things and eaten many delicious foods together. They even agreed to go to the same city after graduation and be each other's best sisters for life. But after all, one chose to go north and the other chose to go south.

Ann sighed at the thought of this, but she also knew that all things must come to an end. She can only wish Li Zhen a pleasant journey in the future.

Li Zhen didn't reply to Ann's message. Ann guessed that Li Zhen must be sleeping. Ann, who was not sleepy, was a little bored, so she found a book to take with her and sat by the window quietly reading it.

"I have crossed bridges in many places/seen clouds many times/drunk many kinds of wine/only loved one person at the right age."

After reading these words, Ann can't read any more. No matter how hard she tried to continue reading the following article, the sentence "I only loved one person at the right age" always lingered in her mind, like a plague. After several futile attempts, Ann finally put down her book. Looking back at the retrogressive scenery outside the window, my thoughts drifted to the time when I first met him two years ago.

It was a rainy day in summer. Ann and Li Zhen walked across the campus with umbrellas and passed a bridge. Ann has always liked this building named "Mingde Bridge", which connects the campus library and the public teaching building and brings a lot of convenience to students. However, Ann prefers the lake under the bridge. Her favorite is the lotus in full bloom in the lake in summer, which stands among the lush lotus leaves. When the wind comes, they sway and dance, adding a delicate gesture in the rain. What's more, the smog on the lake at the moment gives Ann the illusion of being in the foggy south. Ann stopped and stood on the bridge and looked up.

Ann was so attracted by the wonderful scenery that she forgot herself. Suddenly, she was stabbed several times by Li Zhen's elbow. Ann pretended to be angry and asked her why. Li Zhen pointed her finger at the distance and said to Ann with a smile, "Look, there is a fool who doesn't take an umbrella in rainy days and shoots lotus flowers in the rain." Anshun looked in the direction of Lizhen's finger, and sure enough, he saw a teenager squatting there, on one side of the lake, with a camera in his hand, patting a lotus flower on the shore seriously.

"It's raining so hard, why doesn't he take an umbrella?" An Nannan said softly. "How can you shoot lotus flowers with an umbrella? Since you care so much about him, go and give him an umbrella to keep out the rain. " Before Ann could say no, Lizhen had pulled Ann and ran to the teenager.

Like all the encounters in the world, his appearance broke the quiet life in An Lan. Ann's heart is like the lake under Mingde Bridge on this day. The rain stirred up a circle of ripples, and the ripples rippled all the way to Ann's face, opening a brilliant flower.

This rain is Xu Wenqiang.

Li Zhen took a deep breath, ran behind the boy and stood behind him for a long time, waiting patiently for the boy to take a satisfactory photo. During this period, Ann's heart was actually tangled. On the one hand, Ann watched the rain wet the boy's thin back and wondered if the boy would catch cold. On the other hand, I am really embarrassed to give him an umbrella abruptly. Just when An Changzi was entangled, the teenager took a good photo, stood up and turned around. Time seems to have frozen in an instant. This hope only knows what is called "one million years at a time", which means that Ann is in front of teenagers!

The boy turned around and saw them. There was no surprised expression on his face. Obviously, the boy heard their footsteps running over earlier, but he just focused on finishing the picture shooting and didn't get up. Ann is still immersed in the sigh of "seeing a boy for ten thousand years", her expression is stupefied and there is no other reaction. The playful Lizhen took the lead in breaking the embarrassing situation: "Is the lotus flower better after the rain?" Show us the photo you just took. "Lizhen's voice finally pulled Ann back from the tumultuous thoughts, and Ann blushed when she thought of her gaffes just now.

The boy smiled and handed the camera over. The two girls watched it very carefully, and the boy's shooting technique was also very good, showing the posture and beauty of lotus flowers in the rain to the fullest. Ann's favorite is a budding lotus flower, which was photographed by a boy. The flower pointed directly at the sky, which made Ann feel the momentum and strength of life. What makes Ann happier in this photo is the picture of rain splashing after it falls on the painted face, just like a lotus pouring rain into the sky. Peace of mind, the boy has been squatting for so long, he must be capturing this moment. He couldn't help being moved by the seriousness of the boy, and his affection for the boy increased a little.

Seeing them staring at the photo for so long, the boy's face lit up. He asked them, "This is the most satisfactory photo I took today. I haven't named it yet. Do you have any good ideas? "

Li Zhen scratched his head and began to think seriously. After thinking for a long time, she didn't think of a nice name. When she was about to tell the boy that they were really helpless, she suddenly heard Ann who had been silent by her side:

"Hey."

The boy turned to look at her. ...

Ann met Xu Wenqiang.

Xu Wenqiang asked about Ann's name. At this time, Li Zhen quickly gave Ann a name: An Chengcheng. Xu Wenqiang certainly knew that this was Li Zhen's teasing of Ann, and later he didn't get into Ann's real name. Ann is a little angry with Li Zhen on the surface, but she is a little happy in her heart. Cheng An and Xu Wenqiang, how like two people with stories.

But at that time, Ann didn't know that Ann was not Feng Chengcheng and Xu Wenqiang was not the real Xu Wenqiang. Where did they get so much love and hate? They are like two leaves staggered in the air, one rotating in one direction, falling into the river and drifting with the flow; Stay in the wind, let the wind blow it to the ends of the earth.

Ann couldn't help feeling a little tight in her chest at the thought of this. It turned out that all the endings had been written at the moment they met, but at that time, both of them were still in the office, blinded by feelings and didn't see through the endings, so they mistakenly thought that the endings were not there. But if two people really have no fate, why will they meet again in this life? It can be seen that fate really loves to play tricks on people.

Ann felt a little disappointed. At this time, I heard the phone vibrate twice. It turned out that Li Zhen sent Ann a message: "I arrived in Beijing and a friend came to meet me. Everything is fine. You should pay attention to safety yourself. Wait patiently for me to stay in this Beijing city for a few years, and then take my beloved princess back to live in the palace. "

A warm current gushed from Ann's heart. Slightly calmed Anna's disappointment.

Ann looked up at the window. The buildings and trees outside the window are very different from what she saw before. The trees here are greener and most houses are tall. It is very land-saving. Ann smiled and got farther and farther away from home.

"It's getting farther and farther away from you." Peace of mind.

When Ann and Xu Wenqiang are together, their hearts are always full of unspeakable sweetness, but she carefully hides it from others, just like a child who steals candy sauce and is afraid of being scolded by her parents. For a long time, Xu Wenqiang was Ann's deepest secret.

Lizhen always tells Ann that you are too forbearing. If you like him, you should tell him bravely. But Ann was afraid. She was afraid that he didn't like her, that he liked her but didn't tell her. Therefore, Anning is willing to get along with him as a good friend in the past two years to minimize the risk of losing him.

I thought I could be with him forever.

It's already very hot in June, so it takes courage and perseverance to go out. June is far more difficult than that They will graduate soon. There are many unknowns in the future. All the worries and anxieties crept into their hearts in June, just like a ghostly hand, which made them restless in the night of June.

Ann can't believe that these four years have passed in such a trance. Ann still remembers the night when she first came to this city four years ago. She sat alone on the playground, looking up at the starry sky, trying to find the direction of her hometown in that sky. It was not until Lizhen appeared in Ann's life that Ann never looked up at night.

What about Xu Wenqiang? Probably his appearance, Ann never looks for it at night.

An Lizhen's graduation photo was shot by Xu Wenqiang. They are full of confidence in Xu Wenqiang's photography skills. Therefore, no matter what posture Xu Wenqiang asked them to pose, they tried their best to cooperate. They believe that Xu Wenqiang can capture the best of her.

The shooting went well. After filming, Li Zhen couldn't wait to grab Xu Wenqiang's camera and watch it. Ann looked at her smiling face in front of the camera, and there was an inexplicable warmth, just as she could see him standing outside the camera through the camera. Every time Xu Wenqiang shows them the camera, Ann looks at Xu Wenqiang. It's good to look at you like this, all eyes, all distances.

After the shooting, Ann and Li Zhen invited Xu Wenqiang to have dinner together. Xu Wenqiang said he would bring a friend. He was really handsome when he appeared that night, and the female companion standing beside him was really beautiful.

Ann looked out the window at the slowly climbing moon and finally realized that she would never see him again, even in that secret way. I can't help but feel sad.

Ann couldn't tell the exact location of the train in the dark, but vaguely remembered that the train had arrived at Hangzhou station not long ago. Hangzhou is the hometown of Xu Wenqiang. A few lyrics come to Ann's mind: I came to your city/walked the way you came/imagined my life without me/how lonely you are.

However, the train has passed his hometown in an instant and passed the last intersection between her and him.

Ann remembers that when she went back that day, she forced Li Zhen to drink a lot with her. It seems that only by filling your stomach one after another can you make up for the emptiness in your heart a little. Is there a better way to drown your sorrows by drinking?

Ann realized that she had a bad side. I have always thought that it is difficult to guess what others think, and it is also difficult to judge whether everyone is kind to himself. So Ann always hides all her feelings in the most secret way, and the pain and sweetness are all tasted by herself. However, there is no such inferiority complex in Li Zhen. For her, anyone around her is harmless and trustworthy. Lizhen can always get the friendship she wants easily in the crowd.

Li Zhen could see how sad Ann was. She patted Ann's shoulder trembling with sobs and said to her gently, "If you can't let it go, at least give yourself an explanation before you leave here."

May be due to the role of alcohol, may also be due to natural paranoia, accompanied by Li Zhen, Ann went downstairs to Xu Wenqiang's dormitory that day, and tried her best to shout out to the window: Xu Wenqiang, I like you. An Xinrong likes you.

There was silence all around.

Ann feels smooth all over. Like a torch, it finally gathered enough heat under the continuous irradiation of the scorching sun, and went straight into the sky with a loud noise, igniting a raging fire.

Then, I don't know how long the silence lasted, but the shadow of a teenager appeared at the window. Ann watched him slowly open the window, poked his head out, looked at Ann's direction, and said to Ann in a firm and unquestionable tone: Xu Wenqiang is not here.

Like being struck by lightning, it attracted pouring rain, doused the burning torch and washed the ashes into the deep ditch together.

Ann decided to leave this devastated north. Go south. Keep going south, keep going south, and enough sunshine shines into your heart.

While waiting for the bus at the railway station, Ann received a call from Xu Wenqiang. Ann knew that Li Zhen must have told Xu Wenqiang. Li Zhen has gone to Beijing the day before Ann.

On the phone, Xu Wenqiang's voice was calm and warm, as always. He asked her, "My roommate told me the other day that you were looking for me downstairs and had something very important to tell me."

This Liu. Ann smiled. I am grateful that he didn't tell Xu Wenqiang what happened that day.

"I won't leave soon this time. I think we have known each other for so long, and you don't know my name. It's a pity, so I think I have to tell you before I leave. Who knows you weren't there that day. " Ann is good at pretending to be relaxed.

Xu Wenqiang on the other end of the phone laughed at Ann, and then she heard him ask her, "What's your name?"

Exactly the same question as two years ago. But this time, without Li Zhen's ridicule, "An Chengcheng" has long been buried by a broken heart.

Ann handed the train ticket in her hand to the ticket inspector, and then looked back at the city where she had stayed for four years. I don't know whether to face the past or youth. Ann gently spit out a few words: "My name is An Xinrong." Then Ann hung up the phone and boarded the train to the south.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the front is about to arrive at the terminal, please prepare your luggage in advance ..." Ann looked up at the window, but she didn't notice it at dawn. Look at the distance, it's raining lightly. As I know, the weather in the south is changeable in summer.

Ann stood at the exit with her suitcase, looking at the big city of Nuoda, not knowing what to do. It suddenly occurred to Ann that it was on such a rainy day that she first met Xu Wenqiang. She smiled from time to time.

There are two poems in Ann's heart: Rain is the fault of life/Rain is the joys and sorrows.

Ann took a deep breath, picked up her luggage and walked into the rain without hesitation. ...
