Chapter 1 A Person's Return
Lou Xiaoou returned to S City after four years.
S City does not have the hustle and bustle of a first-tier city, but as a second- and third-tier tourist city, it still has the prosperity it should have.
Walking out of the station alone, Lou Xiaoou only felt that everything was new, and everything was different from what was outside. Even those in front of the train station square who welcomed people, recruited passengers, and sold food, she found it very interesting.
But looking at it, the happy psychology that originally returned suddenly disappeared. In fact, what's the difference? It's different. It's always just people's mood.
Lowering her head, she looked at the black suitcase lying quietly at her feet. After moving to another province for four years, she came back with only one and a half-person-high suitcase. At the moment she packed her luggage, she threw away what she should throw away. What she didn't want to throw away, she couldn't find a suitable address to mail to S City, so she simply lost a clean one. Oh, since the year she left, how can she contact her classmates and friends?
So, the broken clean network, even if there is a trace left in the bottom of the heart, is like a light wind across the lake, and there will be no trace.
It was difficult to find a place to live with her suitcase. Lou Xiaoou had to stay in a hotel temporarily. When choosing the location of the rental house, she did not hesitate to go straight to the vicinity of Vientiane Square, which is the most concentrated commercial area in S City. As early as in college, Lou Xiaoou and other students, who were still students, traveled around the neighborhood many times. At that time, it was agreed that they would stay in S City to work after graduation and be neighbors after graduation.
After the dialed number replied that the rent was full again, Lou Xiaoou sighed tiredly. How long did it take to leave the familiar place? How long did the scene of such a person running around? At that time, after all, it was a group of harmony and fun. Even if it was a little hard to find a job and a house, it was wonderful to return to play every meal.
Don't think about it!
Lou Xiao Ouyang covered the slightly dazzling sun and continued to run for the residence in advance. Since she was no longer a young little girl, she no longer had the right to retreat cowardly. After dusting the white sneakers, Lou Xiaoou finally found a living room with one bedroom and one living room. It was not big, and the furniture was simple and complete. It was most convenient for a woman like Lou Xiaoou who lived alone. She even reached out to check the small washing machine that looked like it was 80% new, and shook her head and was not going to use it.
In the evening, after placing the things, Lou Xiaoou hurried downstairs and walked to a large supermarket not far away for shopping. Ignoring the relatively high rent, the advantage of living near the commercial area is that there are all kinds of food, drinking and entertainment, and it is very convenient to go to and from work nearby in the future, and the money for the house that has just been rented for half a year is less.
When his finger fell on the keyboard, Lou Xiaoou was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had never lived alone since he was an adult. Even in other provinces, he lived under the same roof with that man.
That person...
Lou Xiaoou shook his head gently. It's really surprising that he came back and thought of him. Thinking of the balance in the bank card, Lou Xiaoou had to abandon his nonsense and reinvest in the revision of his resume.
It is not easy to make a resume that satisfies HR. Lou Xiaoou knew this truth well in those years. It's just that time has changed. Once again, in the face of various restrictions on recruitment, he couldn't help but feel irritable.
"Marriage status?" She muttered, "In my case, am I married or unmarried?" After thinking about it, she simply deleted this column. At the age of 28, there is really no need to add another reason for the employer to eliminate her.
It has already passed the age of crowding the job fair. Thinking about the results of visiting the talent network in the past two days, Lou Xiaoou couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness. After graduating for many years, she failed to add value to herself year by year. On the contrary, as she grew older, she depreciated, right? Her connections, her connections, she returned to S City from other provinces without informing any old friends. It can be said that her connections are equal to zero.
She frowned and opened the recruitment information collected from the Internet in the past two days. Lou Xiaoou was not in a hurry to cast more points, but took a pen to screen them one by one. In the end, she chose an import and export trading company and recruited an English translator.
Lou Xiaoou, who was a little guilty, did not rush to send out his resume, but found the relevant introduction and product information of the company, opened the computer software, made a detailed typesetting arrangement for it, and then translated the text and edited it into an electronic magazine. Finally, it was packaged and sent out with the resume.
It's already eleven o'clock after all this, and the day has passed.
It has always been an interest to call friends when she returned to her hometown. Lou Xiaoou returned alone, with no one to welcome or accompany her, and she didn't think of contacting her college friends in S City immediately. Therefore, after looking for a job, she is alone wherever she goes.
It's sunny today. Xiaoou, who had only planned to go back to the rental house after breakfast, was reluctant to give up the good sunshine and wandered all the way with a small sat bag on his back. Seeing the familiar white bus stop sign and station name on a green background, Lou Xiaoou couldn't help smiling. It happened that the No. 58 bus stopped. Before she could react, her body had already reacted - she jumped directly on the bus.
Shaking his head and laughing, Lou Xiaoou then put the coin in and easily picked up the back seat.
The reason for such a conditioned reflex is that Vientiane Square is the largest commercial area in S City, and the No. 58 bus is the only bus in their school that can reach Vientiane without a transfer. There are more monks and less porridge. When I was looking for a job, there were a lot of graduates running to Vientiane Square. As a result, No. 58 became a popular bus ride for an hour and a half. Who didn't want to have a seat?
Thinking that he could still make such a reaction after many years, Lou Xiaoou laughed again. When he turned his head and looked at the fast-flowing street shop crowd outside the car window, the feeling of loneliness was not as strong as the day before.
When the familiar east gate of the campus came into view, the time passed exactly an hour and a half. At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and it was not time to finish class, so the whole campus was very quiet. From time to time, the students who walked by, either holding books or riding bicycles, showed a quietness in the light breeze.
Lou Xiaoou looked around slowly and always felt that he could not see enough.
Suddenly, a girl shouted abruptly in her ear.
"Don't you know that girls can't drink ice?"
Lou Xiao Ou stopped. Oh, they all arrived at the convenience store at the intersection of the main road of the school.
"It's not ice, it's just a layer of fog." The boy standing in front of the girl was a head taller than her and scratched his head puzzledly. His puzzled and silly appearance was really not suitable for his white and beautiful appearance.
"It's so cold!" The girl stamped her feet and raised her hand to stuff the mineral water into the boy's hand.
The boy quickly grabbed it and said, "Okay, I'll drink this bottle. I'll buy you a bottle of normal temperature right away." After saying that, he didn't wait for the girl to speak and turned around and ran into the store.
"That's great." Seeing this scene, Lou Xiaoou muttered.
"Yogurt for you!" The boy said, and his big smiling face almost shone over the sun in the sky.
The girl just took it and pushed it back: "Iced, don't drink it."
"It's just that it tastes good when it's cold." The boy was still smiling.
"These days are not suitable." The girl continued to shake her head and saw that the boy still maintained the hand-over posture, so she simply pushed back his hand.
"Why is it not suitable?" The boy didn't understand, "Don't you usually drink it?"
"I mean it's not suitable to drink ice," the girl was sullen and glanced at the boy, and her eyes unconsciously floated to other places. "That's right, that's my coming!"
"Which one?" The boy was puzzled and saw that the girl was unwilling to hold her mouth, so he reached out and pulled her cheek in exchange for the girl's eye knife, but did not break away his big hand.
The girl had no choice but to look up to the sky. She couldn't resist the boy's entanglement and asked, so she had to shyly say, "My period is coming!"
"Oh." The boy answered and still frowned. Obviously, he didn't understand the relationship between his period and ice yogurt.
"Also, it's not convenient for me to climb mountains these days."
The boy can only continue to answer "Oh", and his period is too old, okay.
After a few days, the girl excitedly called the boy, "You can go climbing!"
The boy put the book on his lap, reached out to brush off a fallen leaf on her shoulder, and asked her with a smile, "Is your period gone? Do you have time to come to me?"
The girl raised her eyebrows and didn't understand the relationship between her period and whether she was free or not. Could it be because she was not feeling well and there was a neglected heart hidden under the teenager's smile?
Thinking of this, the girl smiled and said, "Hmm!"
Then the boy asked, "Where did you go to play?"
The girl wondered: "Where to play?" I've been staying in the dormitory except for class these days.
"No, you won't accompany your period?" The boy was surprised.
After being stunned, the girl laughed loudly, laughing so loudly that she rolled into the boy's arms and couldn't get out happily.
The boy was aggrieved and helpless: "How dare you laugh at me?" With that, he wiped away the tears from her smile. Seeing her red face, he couldn't help pulling up the corners of her mouth.
This stupid boy! The girl thought to herself, coughed gently, pretended to be serious and looked at him: "Auntie, it's - let's have a period!"
The boy's face suddenly turned red. And the girl went back and talked to her roommate, which really made her laugh.
A touch of warmth passed by. When Lou Xiaoou raised his head, the lovely junior couple had left in parallel.
Although things are different, the same scene is still the same. Except for several new campus buildings in the distance, everything seems to be unchanged.
Below the studio, she and her roommates waited together to go to class;
On the stone bridge, the league secretary of the next class stands at the bridge after the last class every Thursday morning and waits for her to go to the library together;
The loquat tree by Acacia Lake. She occasionally comes over after dinner and has dropped a few handfuls of loquats. In fact, it is not delicious;
And on the stone stool opposite the lake, she must sit on it after reading in the morning and watch the fish in the water spit bubbles for a while...
Standing on the bridge and looking at the blue waves, Lou Xiaoou felt that something cool came out of his eyes. Why force himself to talk about his classmates who used to be noisy in the face of the familiar scenery? In fact, besides his classmates and friends, there is him, isn't it?
In the studio, he hurried to take two-inch blue photos with her;
By the stone bridge, he turned his back to wait for her to finish class when there was no class, and then the two of them went to dinner together. She often scared him, but he was obviously not scared, but he always shrugged his shoulders with a surprised expression. This action was played by the two for four years;
The loquat on the loquat tree, she let go and he picked it. Obviously, the loquat was so sour. He tasted it seriously before handing it over, which made her scream;
The stone stool opposite the lake is the place where the two kissed for the first time...
"Mu Qian." Low, Lou Xiaoou muttered his name.
Suddenly, the bell rang loudly, and Lou Xiaoou suddenly looked up. The voices of the multimedia building not far away were boiling, and then the crowd gushed out. It was the students who had left class.
The overwhelming crowd made Lou Xiaoou subconsciously take a step back. At the same time, a silent loneliness wrapped her in an instant, making her look like a headless fly and unable to avoid it. After a long time of bowing her head and walking away, she left the crowd far behind.
