At night, fish and dragons dance in Guanhai City, and Hong Kong Middle Road, where traffic jams are often hundreds of meters away during peak hours, also highlights the prosperity of Shinan District, especially the section near the sea.
Two women in sportswear, caps and masks were waiting for the traffic light at an intersection with a group of tired migrant workers after get off work.
Seeing that the countdown of the traffic light had begun to flash, everyone looking at their mobile phones raised their heads and prepared to take steps. One of the women stopped as she looked at the busy traffic ahead.
"Xiaoyun, don't go any further."
"Eh?"
Li Xiaoyun turned around and looked at Wang Anruo, puzzled: "Anruo, didn't you say you wanted to go out and relax? We have only walked two kilometers."
Wang Anruo shook his head and said, "Let's go somewhere else."
Wang Anruo from Shinan District doesn't come here often. He only drives by the neighborhood from the station to Shibeihui. He can remember the main roads extending in all directions, but he is not familiar with these pedestrian streets that connect various communities and various office parks.
But she had walked the road ahead many times, and she was familiar with it, whether it was a noodle shop on a one-way street or a TV station that had been there for decades.
In the past, there was always a man accompanying her, but today Wang Anruo didn't want to revisit these places.
The more important reason is that she is afraid of meeting Qin Feng... After passing the traffic light, it is Qin Feng's way home from work every day.
Although Li Xiaoyun has a carefree personality, he is very sensitive after getting along with Wang Anruo all year round, and he quickly noticed her thoughts.
"Are you afraid of meeting him?" Li Xiaoyun frowned: "Isn't it a good thing to meet him? It's time to ask him face to face why he lied to you!"
The red street light was flashing again, and it was about to change from green to red.
The passers-by who were rushing to cross the road behind them had already begun to trot, and they would look sideways at them as they passed by. They thought, are these two women standing here just because they don't have the right color?
She has a really good figure, but she can’t see her face clearly with the mask on, but I guess a woman with a good figure can’t be that ugly.
Wang Anruo lowered his eyebrows, and when he raised his head again, the dancing green figure had turned red.
She was in a mess and couldn't explain why. She just whispered in a low voice, which didn't seem to answer Li Xiaoyun's words.
"Is it deception?"
She didn't know that she felt sad about being deceived, but she didn't have the anger she imagined.
Just like when I met Qin Wuxiang at the startup ceremony, I was obviously full of anger and disgust.
This is something she still doesn't understand.
What I saw on the day of the power-on ceremony was...
Her temples hurt slightly, she frowned and looked unhappy, and put her hand on her forehead.
Li Xiaoyun sighed slightly: "Then where should we go?"
"Youth Square, it's very lively at night."
Wang Anruo blurted out subconsciously, but after finishing speaking, he felt a little melancholy.
It seems that Qin Feng also said this to her.
On the night of the blind date, Qin Feng took her for a walk in the square.
"Is it lively?" Li Xiaoyun tried his best to divert Wang Anruo's attention, so he asked: "How to make it lively? Is there a square dance or a night market?"
"Maybe it was square dancing." Wang Anruo thought seriously for a moment, but shook his head: "I don't remember."
"Don't remember?" Li Xiaoyun was very surprised.
Wang Anruo told the truth.
That night, Qin Feng and I walked to the square after eating noodles. I only remember that it seemed to be quite lively at the time, but I really don't remember exactly how lively it was.
That night I went to look at Qin Feng. The first man who let me go on a blind date without feeling embarrassed was naturally more attractive than the youth square who looked the same every night.
The two came to the square. Square dancing can also be found in night markets. The night market culture of Guanhai is very prosperous thanks to the current short videos. If you walk two or three steps, you can see someone with an aperture and a light, live broadcasting on a mobile phone. The young anchor has various talents in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the sound of the drum set can be heard throughout half the square.
Li Xiaoyun likes this kind of atmosphere. If she encounters such excitement when she is alone, she will often join in the fun. When she is happy, she will take off her mask to attract cheers and onlookers from the crowd. Then she will sing a song with a street vendor singer. There is a great popularity in ancient times of making friends with poems.
But she also knows that Wang Anruo likes to be quiet, like a white deer wandering in the forest, not caring about people close to him, and just wants to watch from a distance.
She likes to join in the fun, and Wang Anruo likes to watch the fun.
Today I was going to relax with her, so of course I had to rely on Wang Anruo. She sat on the quiet bench next to her, and the two of them looked at the square with the noisy gongs and drums.
"Don't be sad An Ruo. I know how painful it is to break up with your first love. I cried all night, and I could dream about my first love for several days in a row."
Li Xiaoyun said this with some loneliness: "It's really uncomfortable to dream about your first love. Several times I felt that the dream was real. When I woke up, I couldn't tell the reality. When I realized it was a dream, I felt sad for the whole day."
Wang Anruo listened quietly, then shook his head but said nothing.
She knew that Li Xiaoyun could not understand what she was feeling now, so she put herself in his shoes to comfort herself.
But in fact it is not the same as what Li Xiaoyun said.
Li Xiaoyun seemed to have noticed that Wang Anruo was not sad, but... entangled.
"Hey, hey, Anruo. We've been arguing for a long time and you haven't broken up at all, right?"
"When did I tell you that I broke up?"
"Then why are you crying so sadly?" Li Xiaoyun was stunned: "It was the first time I saw you crying, and I thought you were..."
At this time, Wang Anruo had already calmed down and returned to his usual quiet virginity.
She shook her head calmly: "I don't know why I cried. I just felt that the water in my heart was very bitter. Unknowingly, it flowed from the corner of my eyes to my mouth...it became salty and bitter."
"Big stars are just different. I can't say this." Li Xiaoyun looked at the starry sky and pursed his lips: "I feel so sad when I want to cry. There is nothing in the world that can make me happy. ”
The two fell into a brief silence, and finally Li Xiaoyun broke the awkwardness.
"An Ruo, it must be hard for your boyfriend to become the person you hate the most, right?"
"Well, it's hard."
"Do you hate Qin Wuxiang?"
"There is no grievance, no hatred, but I hate him very much." Wang Anruo paused, as if he felt that this statement was inappropriate now, and then added: "I hate the scumbag who is rumored to be a prostitute... If those rumors are true."
She now has a glimmer of hope, hoping that the rumors will be rumors, and then the rumors will stop among the wise.
"Then do you like Qin Feng?"
"like."
To this day, Wang Anruo still said these words without thinking.
Li Xiaoyun seemed a little surprised by this answer and turned to look at Wang Anruo.
No, to be precise, she was not surprised by Wang Anruo's affirmation, but was surprised by Wang Anruo's determination and speed...
She said she liked it without thinking!
How much do you need to like someone so that you can still say you like them firmly after experiencing the situation of "your boyfriend is actually the person you hate the most"?
I'm afraid the only answer left is love.
Seeing the glimmer in Wang Anruo's eyes, Li Xiaoyun was sure that the two of them were not just boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Then why don't you want to see him?"
Wang Anruo was silent for a long time, until the square, which had been noisy with gongs and drums, began to quiet down, and people gradually dispersed.
The two of them sat there for more than forty minutes without saying a word.
"Everyone has left, let's go back." Li Xiaoyun stood up and patted his butt: "Didn't Mr. Zhu ask you to go to the company for a meeting tomorrow? It's getting late, go back and rest early, staying up late will cause wrinkles!"
"Yeah." Wang Anruo also stood up: "I don't want to get wrinkles."
That problem seemed to have ended in vain.
Why don't you want to see him?
Wang Anruo couldn't answer.
She looked at the square, subconsciously took out her phone, unlocked the lock screen but was stunned.
It seems that no matter what I do, once I meet someone interesting and beautiful, I want to take a photo and send it to Qin Feng.
It has become a habit.
A habit called passionate love.
But she didn't want to contact Qin Feng at this time, just like she hadn't figured out how to face him yet.
How to face Qin Feng and Qin Wuxiang, loved ones and hated ones.
but……
She took out her mobile phone and used her original camera to take a picture of the excitement in the square, the full moon and sparse stars above her head, and the heart-to-heart night between herself and her best friend.
She took several photos, deleted the ones she was not satisfied with, and kept the best scenery and selfie in the album.
Maybe these photos are also waiting for something?
Wang Anruo turned off her mobile phone and glanced at the square, thinking that she would have to attend a meeting at the company early tomorrow morning and probably wouldn't come over.
Suddenly, she saw something and was stunned.
"Xiaoyun, wait for me!"
She said a few words and hurried away into the distance, leaving the yawning Li Xiaoyun puzzled.
And when she saw what Wang Anruo was holding after coming back, she became even more depressed.
"Are you thirsty?"
"Well... that's right."
Wang Anruo unscrewed the bottle cap in his hand and took a sip of water.
