Ripples of summer

Summer wind, summer rain, summer adventure, summer complex thoughts come to mind from time to time. It was a summer afternoon many years ago, and the weather was extremely sultry. Because some equipment in our unit is broken, it can't be repaired and debugged for a while. The leader sent me to the main city on business. I didn't want to go originally. I don't want to go back and forth, so I have to limit my time. I don't know what I can do. The leader was partial to me and didn't send anyone who wanted to go out. When I came back from downtown, I changed to two buses. The speed of a bus can be compared with that of a snail. Let me see the watch on my wrist. It's almost five o'clock, and there are still eight or nine kilometers to go to work. What should I do? I have to get back before 5: 30, otherwise it will affect the planning progress that night, even this week. However, the data and parameters are in the file bag in my arms, and I am very anxious about what to do. After a few seconds, I decided to get off at the next stop and make a detour from the western suburbs. After a few minutes, at the next stop, I jumped out of the car and ran to the opposite platform before the car stopped, because who would know if it was my train that had stopped and was about to leave? I can only get to the platform as soon as possible, because viaducts and overpasses are being built in many places around. After the shower, heavy trucks and muck trucks passed through very muddy roads. Although I ran very carefully, I accidentally stepped into a small pit on the road near the platform. The stagnant water is muddy and blends with the surrounding roads. I can't see it at all. Although the accumulated water is only ten centimeters, I still made a big "spray". The yellow splash splashed on the white skirt of a girl waiting for the bus next to me, which formed a sharp contrast. I was shocked at once. I usually speak fluently. At this time, I stammered and incoherently apologized to the girl. I have never encountered such a situation, especially for a woman, who took out a paper towel to help her wipe while apologizing. Due to excessive tension, the paper towel just touched the skirt and fell on the muddy road. I dare to take out the second one to wipe. The girl quickly stepped back and said no, and I knew it wouldn't help. However, in order to show his sincere attitude, I made a few small tricks on her white skirt. After that, I called her to the back to discuss the "aftermath". Dozens of seconds ago, in the crowd of onlookers, a newcomer who didn't know the truth was booing, saying, "Young man, seeing that you are so kind and considerate to your girlfriend, why don't you go to a nearby store and buy a new one and bring the dirty one?" It is rare to have such a performance opportunity. "When the girl heard these faces, she suddenly blushed to her ears. Although my face is uncomfortable and embarrassed, my heart is flattered. Seeing that she didn't explain or clarify, I was even more lazy to explain or clarify. Let these "melon eaters" say whatever they like. I'd rather say two words! We came to the open space next to the green belt on the street, and the onlookers dispersed to their respective destinations. There are few people around. I started serious negotiations with her on how to deal with this matter. I insisted on buying her new clothes in a nearby clothing store, and asked her to change a dirty skirt for me in the fitting room, so that I could take it back and wash it. If it's inconvenient, I can send it to her place of work. Because I was in a hurry, I saw that the bus I was waiting for finally arrived. I quickly said "I'm sorry" to her and ran away without looking back. This bus is also extremely crowded, and I have forgotten my usual respect for the elderly and gentlemanly manners, and all humility and comity have been left behind. In order not to be late, I forgot so much, so I took out my strength and got on the bus to meet people first. The passengers who got on the bus walked to the back one after another, and then a girl came into my sight, so strange and familiar. You see, isn't that the girl who "met" on the platform just now? She also took this car. It is a coincidence that fate is so wonderful. As long as it's destiny takes a hand, she will bump into it. When she came to me, I smiled and nodded to her. She also smiled politely, so elegant, so cultured, and her smile was so beautiful and charming, especially the charming dimples, which felt so sweet when she smiled, just like flowers blooming in the spring breeze! I was in a bright mood for a few seconds, and my heart thumped. I think the "gaffe" I just squeezed into the bus must be clearly seen by her behind me. Well, if I had known she was in this car, I should have acted like a "gentleman" and had some self-restraint. People forgive themselves so generously, but I behaved so badly. Alas ... I am really speechless to myself. Her eyes looked out of the window, and I secretly looked at her from time to time. She is beautiful, but maybe she is just one of thousands of ordinary girls. Her ordinary dress and delicate face look a little dull. Where did she come from? Where is she going? Where is her home? Perhaps, like me, she is far away from her parents and hometown and a stranger in a foreign land. She came to a strange world and a strange city for her ideals and dreams, and drew a blueprint for her life. I wonder if she will miss her hometown and her parents when she is quiet at night? I don't know if she will secretly wipe tears in the quilt in the middle of the night every holiday. It's not easy for girls to go out. The sound of rain outside the window interrupted my guess and thoughts. Looking at her silence outside the window, a little pity and sadness welled up in my heart. Perhaps, "we are both unhappy-we live far apart, so why did we meet at the beginning?" "Silent girl, why don't you say something? What's on your mind? Can you talk to me? Maybe I can help you get rid of your melancholy. Maybe you are not very happy, but don't bow your head. As long as you face everything with a positive attitude and work hard, all disappointment and pain will disappear, and you will be greeted by laughter. I have experienced all kinds of disappointments and wanted to cry, but I am a man. I have no right. I can only go to higher mountains. Endless struggle is really wonderful. It can eliminate all human pains and troubles.

The rain is getting smaller and smaller and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. She got off the bus and walked towards the wind and rain. Where is she going? She quickly merged into the hurried back of modern urbanites. Girl, where are you going? You can go now! There are many bumpy roads in the world of mortals. I wish you a safe journey and a pleasant journey! On second thought, the bus has passed five stops, so I should get off. Although I know where I want to go after getting off the bus, what is the further way in the future? Still at a loss, the world is changing rapidly and the future is uncertain. Although we work hard, the gap between ideal and reality is still so big. What do we do? What do we do? Some people and things are not as simple as I imagined when I was young. I am walking on Yangguan Avenue with melancholy and hesitation, and the rain is still falling. It seems that I have to speed up my steps!

How many men and women meet by chance in this world, some become immortal legends, and some become beautiful memories. In my heart, the girl in a white skirt whom I met "accidentally" at the bus stop is always "slim"!

On a certain day, a certain month, it was the midsummer in Chengdu.
