At around 11 o'clock in the morning, we set off from Hongqiao Railway Station in the Magic City.

After a seven-hour drive on the way, I ordered a lunch box set meal on the high-speed train to make up for lunch. The rest of the time I kept staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

I didn't listen to music, I didn't use my phone to surf the Internet, and I had no intention of resting.

At six o'clock in the evening, we arrived at our destination Xiamen City.

Walking out of the train station, pulling your suitcase, feeling the air that is different from the demon. The temperature is suitable, and there is less slight silence in the former. The bleakness after the autumn begins. This city, which is even more close to the south, still has a pleasant warmth in this season.

I took a taxi and went to the hotel I booked on my mobile phone software in advance.

Check-in at the front desk.

The elevator swipes the card to the floor where the room is located and puts down the suitcase in the room.

Then he sat by the bed, staring blankly and didn't know what he was thinking. It took half an hour to finally take a deep breath and take out his phone, open the map software, and enter the name of the Internet cafe that the partner once told him.

The information and answers he got made Lin Feng stunned.

Lecheng.

This is the name of the Internet cafe that his partner told him at the beginning, and it is also the only information he has about that partner that he temporarily decided to come to Xiamen City.

When he was on the high-speed rail, he did think and worry about whether the so-called "Lecheng Internet Cafe" will still be there or that it has changed its name and surname after so many years.

But unexpectedly, on the mobile map software, although I did search for the Internet cafe name of "Lecheng", this is called "Lecheng" Internet cafe.

There is not only one in Xiamen City.

Fourteen.

A bystander will definitely be unable to help but laugh and cry when he sees it.

But for someone who takes these two words as the only clue, it becomes a rather ironic black humor.

The news that is not good news is that these fourteen Internet cafes with the name "Lecheng". Among the Internet cafes, seven have left contact information, so it is convenient for someone to use their mobile phone to dial the number according to the contact information to inquire.

The bad news is that after seven calls, someone in each call clearly reported his partner's name, but found nothing.

so

There are seven left.

There is no shortcut to the rest.

Lin Feng, who put down his phone, smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was something he had not expected before leaving this trip.

but

Perhaps, this is also a test, or punishment for him in the dark.

There are fourteen Internet cafes, seven of which have been excluded from the phone number, and seven are left.

So I took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the hotel.

We started sorting according to the distances of the remaining seven Internet cafes and took a taxi to the first one closest to the hotel.

Although it was already dinner time, I didn't feel full at this time.

The first one is indeed not far away.

Three or four kilometers away, the Internet cafe is open next to a shopping mall.

When I walked in and came to the front desk, I didn’t see the familiar figure in anticipation. I asked a network administrator politely and politely, but I didn’t get a hopeful answer.

So he thanked him and turned around and left.

Take out your cell phone, take a taxi again, and go to the second house.

The Second Jialecheng Internet Cafe is located in an old residential area, opened in a rather cramped alley. It took a lot of time to find it. Seeing that the store was also very dilapidated, the network manager at the front desk might be the boss, who was lazy and smoking and answered casually while smoking clouds and fog:

"who?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"What, looking for someone? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

After listening, I smiled bitterly.

Then he still thanked politely and left again.

The third one is two or three kilometers away, so it is not troublesome to take a taxi, but when I got to the place, I found that the store that should have been an Internet cafe was replaced by a hot pot restaurant. After I went in and asked, I found out that the original Internet cafe had closed down more than a year ago.

A fork was drawn on the third line on the memo.

Continue to the fourth one.

More than an hour has passed. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Xiacheng was filled with the air of the sea breeze.

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, looking at the night view of traffic and lights flying backwards outside the window.

Thinking of nothing.

I just looked down at the remaining four addresses on the phone memo and thought silently that if these four companies still cannot be found, then perhaps the seven companies that were excluded from the previous phone call can go back and ask in person.

In fact, there should be a simpler way, such as asking senior number one and others for verification.

but

Perhaps it is because of some complex and difficult to talk to others that I would rather continue my efforts in such a clumsy and even stupid way.

The fourth one.

Opened next to a university town.

When I walked in, I still came to the front desk and didn't see the expected figure. However, after the setbacks and failures of the previous three companies, I did not feel too much regret. After all, I had already made up my mind. No matter how difficult the process was, no matter how much effort it was needed, I must find the person I was looking for.

ask.

The answer I got was nothing unexpected.

When I was about to turn around and leave after thanking me, the network manager at the front desk seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly patted his head and kindly reminded me:

"If you walk further, there is a house called Lecheng at the intersection."

I took out my phone and took a look. It seemed that the address mentioned by the network management was not among the seven companies recorded in the memo.

So I thanked me sincerely again.

Turn around and leave.

According to the address provided by the fourth network management office, we move forward all the way. After all, it is near the university town. There are many midnight snack stalls on both sides of the street. The aroma of skewers is scattered in the air. You can vaguely hear the young students sitting in front of the stall talking and laughing, and clinking cups with heroic spirits.

Not far away, you can already see the "Lecheng Internet Cafe" store brand mentioned by the Internet Administration.

Just as I was about to step forward quickly.

But suddenly stopped again.

Because at a closer distance, he saw someone who had not seen him for too long but was still very familiar with him at a midnight snack stall with only three or five folding square tables.

So, he was stunned.

Standing blankly, motionless like a wooden man.

I just looked at the familiar side face, and looked at the slightly lonely figure who seemed to be drinking on my own and did not participate in the conversation between the other young people on the table.

Then, the other party looked up inadvertently.

It seems that I have seen this too.

Then, recognize.

The empty wine can fell and rolled to the side and to the feet.

Lin Feng slowly lowered his head, looked at the wine jar at his feet, then raised his head, looked at his former partner sitting at the table, and his lips moved.

Along the way.

He never thought about what he should say if he really met this former companion and old friend.

Even at this moment, his mind was still blank.

A long silence.

Xia Ziyou, Sun Zheng, Wu Tian and others who were finally silent at the table all vaguely realized that something was wrong with their "coach". They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the former's gaze, and were stunned to see a boy with a messy black hair that seemed to be about the same age as them.

The boy smiled hard:

"A Qiu."

Updates are sent, and two updates are done. Ahhhhh IG is awesome! The-Shy is awesome! Let’s look at FPX next.
