The train finally stopped. Compared to the slightly crowded crowd, Zhou Yan was waiting in front of the door. As the door clicked open, Zhou Yan walked out first.
Strange, seems to have forgotten something.
However, he did only bring a large schoolbag, so he probably didn't leave anything behind in the carriage.
His trouser pocket was vibrating. Zhou Yan reached out and took out a Nokia touch screen phone.
It showed an incoming call, and the phone number was extremely familiar to Zhou Yan.
"Hello, Mom?"
Zhou Yan answered the phone.
"Mom? Do you still think of me as your mother? You haven't called me for so long. Have you gone to another place and forgotten your mother?"
There was a roar on the other end of the phone, making Zhou Yan's eardrums tremble and his scalp numb.
He felt that his last barrier to the world disappeared with this roar.
"Mom, I just arrived at school."
Zhou Yan looked at the people coming and going and said.
He actually had too many things to say, but in the end he only said this.
"So fast?" The other end of the phone was a little surprised.
"right."
Zhou Yan said with certainty that his mother, no matter it was twelve years ago or twelve years later, always looked frightened when traveling far away. It was a phone call. Although I knew it was out of concern for him, it was really unnecessary.
After ten years of struggling in society, the best way to deal with this matter is to say that he has arrived. This method has always worked for Zhou Yan. Now that he has returned to 12 years ago, Zhou Yan naturally speaks up.
"You didn't lie to me?" Xu Xiujuan asked suspiciously.
"I really didn't lie to you." Zhou Yan held his forehead, when did his mother become so suspicious.
"Let Tang Tang answer the phone. You and she are in the same school. Since you just arrived at the school, she should still be with you, right?" Xu Xiujuan said.
"Tangtang!"
Zhou Yan finally knew that he had forgotten something.
No, it’s not a thing, it’s the girl next door in his youth, Tang Tang.
This person who he always wanted to forget was also his first love, his first ray of white moonlight, if not...
"Mom, Tang Tang is going to the toilet now. I'll call you back when she comes out of the toilet."
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation, turned around and walked into the car door.
The train leaves in a few minutes, so it's urgent.
"For what?"
The police officer raised his eyebrows and stopped Zhou Yan at the door.
Zhou Yan came out and went in again, catching his attention.
"My sister is in there."
Zhou Yan said anxiously.
"Go and come back quickly, the train is leaving soon." the policeman urged.
Zhou Yan nodded, entered the car door, and went straight to Car No. 9.
Even Zhou Yan never thought that he would meet Tang Tang again in this fleeting time.
Tang Tang grew up with him.
Starting from kindergarten, to elementary school, junior high school and even high school, it is the same school.
Even now, I am attending Hongcheng University.
When he was a child, Tang Tang had always been his follower. He used scissors to cut his hair and frightened him when he stuffed caterpillars into books. When he was still young, Tang Tang found him watching movies that only adults could watch, and finally they were together. Lie under the quilt and watch, and explore their own secrets from time to time.
But in high school, Tang Tang and Zhou Yan began to communicate less and less. Even if they lived across the street or were in the same class, they no longer talked about everything, but became lukewarm.
Zhou Yan didn't know what the reason was, maybe it was the pressure of studies that prevented them from having the time to communicate as before.
Finally, he became a familiar stranger.
Zhou Yan used to, in fact, always like Tangtang very much, because Tangtang fulfilled almost all his fantasies about the girl next door.
When he was young, Zhou Yan even thought that Tang Tang was his future wife.
But in reality, Zhou Yan mustered up the courage to confess to Tang Tang after the college entrance examination, but was rejected outright.
The reason for rejection was not that we were too familiar, but because she liked...girls.
Zhou Yan even thought that Tang Tang was cheating on him, so he persisted many times in college. In the end, Tang Tang really agreed to become his girlfriend. Zhou Yan thought that his efforts had paid off.
But it wasn't until one day that Tang Tang and a Jiufen Royal Sister were in front of him downstairs in the dormitory... Zhou Yan didn't realize that everything he did was so ridiculous.
Tang Tang has not changed, it has always been just his wishful thinking.
That day, Zhou Yan and Tang Tang had a big fight. After that, Tang Tang seemed to evaporate and disappeared into Zhou Yan's world, never to appear again.
After that, Zhou Yan had many girlfriends. He thought he could forget Tang Tang, but when it came time to get married, he couldn't forget Tang Tang's shadow, so in the end, it was all over.
Zhou Yan can't forget Tang Tang because he doesn't want to forget. How can he forget the girl next door who belongs to his youth so easily and without paying a price.
After turning thirty, Zhou Yan is still unmarried. Whenever he attends a friend's wedding banquet, the most talked about thing is that we will become one someday and invite us to drink.
But only Zhou Yan knows that the regret of losing once can really stay in his heart for a lifetime and never be forgotten.
He regretted that he and Tang Tang broke up on bad terms at that wrong time. He regretted that he had been too impulsive and made Tang Tang go away.
Even though Zhou Yan later had a career that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, he didn't seem very happy. Maybe it was because Tang Tang was not by his side to accompany him.
Now that he met Tang Tang again in this fleeting time, Zhou Yan only had one thought in his mind.
Get her!
Zhou Yan squeezed into the crowd and walked through the narrow passage. Soon, he saw a girl who was carefully moving a large box out of the storage shelf.
She was wearing a pleated floral skirt, with her snow-white calves exposed. Because of the hot weather, Zhou Yan could see fine beads of sweat on her face.
Even if it's just the back, even if it's just the profile, Zhou Yan feels a little fluttering for no reason.
Zhou Yan knew that she was Tang Tang, his first love.
Unexpectedly, we would meet again in this fleeting time.
"Let me do it."
Zhou Yan walked up to Tang Tang, and with a height of 1.78 meters, he could reach Tang Tang's pink suitcase.
"Shitou, why are you here?" Tang Tang's voice was filled with resentment.
Zhou Yan slowly put down the pink suitcase and looked at Tang Tang, "Sorry, I forgot about you."
Tangtang's body has a faint fragrance of gardenia, which smells very good and intoxicating.
She has long, glossy black hair that falls past her shoulders, a baby-fat face, a pair of big black and white eyes, and delicate facial features, all of which show the innocence and cuteness unique to her age.
Zhou Yan was in a trance, feeling that she was overlapping with the blurry light and shadow in his mind.
And those emotions that had long disappeared in the fleeting years also came back.
"Zhou Yan, are you deliberately angry with me because I rejected your confession?" Tang Tang asked quietly from the side.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhou Yan had a slight change towards her.
"I'm not that naive." Zhou Yan curled his lips and said, "I really forgot."
Tang Tang wanted to say something more, but Zhou Yan interrupted directly, "If you want to take a one-day trip to Xijiang with me, then stay here."
"Young man, you haven't left yet. Is she your girlfriend?"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Yan looked up and saw the middle-aged man sitting next to him by the window.
At this moment, he smiled and said hello, and also noticed Tang Tang, an exquisite girl.
"She's not my girlfriend."
Zhou Yan shook his head at the middle-aged man, not wanting to explain more.
He held the suitcase in his left hand, took Tang Tang's white little hand in his right hand, and led Tang Tang towards the car door.
A trace of illusion arose in Zhou Yan's heart, as if he had captured the whole world again.
The feeling of dislocation that was like jet lag disappeared in an instant.
He's back, really back to 2010, back to his girl next door.
At this moment, Zhou Yan only felt that he had lived up to his time!
"I don't understand the world of young people anymore."
Watching Zhou Yan pull Tang Tang away, the middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
"I'm old, I'm really old."
