The ancient town Su Li was going to was a bit far away. The car had not arrived until evening, and it was already so dark outside that it was hard to see anything. Occasionally, when passing by some brightly lit places, I couldn't help but think of idioms such as "thousands of lights".

I feel warm and yet lonely.

Warmth because at night, "home" and "lights" can always give people warmth, loneliness because those things have nothing to do with you.

After eating fast food in the car, we sat for a while and finally arrived at the station.

When she got out of the car, she felt a little cold outside. She crossed her arms and looked at the unfamiliar place in front of her, feeling a little uneasy for no reason.

I followed the people who got off the station at the same time and walked out of the station. As soon as I got out, a driver came to talk to me, "Where are we going?"

"Sit on mine, it's my privilege."

"Take my seat and I'll be leaving soon." They all had local accents, which made people feel even more unfamiliar.

Su Li was frightened by such enthusiastic people and hurriedly hid in a slightly remote corner.

After most of the coachmen had given up and left, she walked towards a woman.

The woman looked about 40 years old, her face was haggard from the wind and rain, and she drove a red taxi that looked a little shabby.

"Hello, are you going to xx hotel?" This is the place where I checked the route and wanted to stay last night.

The woman nodded immediately, "Go ahead, come up."

Get in the car, go straight to the hotel, get off the car, book a room and move in.

I couldn't sleep that night. Firstly, I was not used to a strange bed, and secondly, I felt complicated thinking about the things that had happened recently.

She asked herself, "How did it get to this point? Does all this now have something to do with the fact that she has been thinking about Gu Ling'an? Because she was thinking about him, she ignored Lu Ning, which led to his empathy.

Don’t fall in love?”

No one could give her the answer, so she fell asleep thinking about it.

The next day I went to visit the ancient town alone. There were many tourists, some even wearing ancient costumes, which looked pleasing to the eye.

She walked around and occasionally stopped to take pictures. She sent one to Chen Xi during lunch, "I came here to play today."

Chen Xi replied, "Alone?"

"Um."

"Then please be safe."

"I know, she's not a little girl anymore, don't worry."

"In my opinion, you are just a little girl."

Su Li smiled, it felt so good to be treated like a little girl.

She continued shopping in the afternoon and came to a street with relatively few people. She passed by a house where someone was cooking. The smell of pork belly wafted out from inside. She couldn't help but stop and take a look.

The room is very clean, and there are two dishes on the table, one is scrambled eggs, and the other is stir-fried cabbage.

A little girl was sitting next to her, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, her eyes facing the TV, and not showing any sign of starting to eat. It wasn't until a woman came over and said something that the girl sat upright, then picked up her chopsticks and concentrated on eating.

Get up to eat.

After a while, a man came over and joined. He was very tall, about 40 years old, bald, with a sallow complexion and a bloated figure. However, it could be seen from his facial features that he should have been very good-looking when he was young.

Su Li looked at him and remembered Chen Xi's words, "Have you ever thought that he is now married and has several children, and maybe he is bald and has a beer belly."

She thought, "Perhaps Gu Ling'an has really become such a man now. He is no longer always clean and bright as before. Sometimes there are even vegetable or oil stains on his clothes, and he will "snort" when eating.

"I made an unpleasant sound. When I was picking my teeth, I raised one foot and leaned back. My face was covered with oil. It was so oily that it was hard to beat my heart."

But what about myself!

It seemed that it was hard for her to make people's hearts flutter anymore. Su Li looked at herself in the glass window next to her. She was no longer the same as she was when she was a girl. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were obvious and she looked slightly haggard. Her eyes were no longer sparkling.

Time flies really fast!

At this time, the rain suddenly started to fall, and it hit her at an angle. She didn't bring an umbrella, so she could only walk towards the nearest pavilion.

There was already someone standing in the pavilion. He was a man carrying a black backpack. He was very tall, very thin, standing upright, and very elegant. Just looking at his back, you would think he must be a good-looking man.

Su Li ran in and stood far away from the man. She was not used to being too close to strangers, let alone someone of the opposite sex.

The rain was still falling, so she turned her back to the girl, lowered her head to pat the water droplets off her skirt, then arranged her long hair, and then stood there watching the rain.

The rain scene in front of us is beautiful. The wooden houses and some ancient buildings in the distance look like a painting against the backdrop of the rain.

She admired it quietly and reached out to catch the rain falling on the eaves. The rain fell on her palms and she felt a cold feeling, which was very comfortable.

After a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, and with the wind, a large piece of the pavilion became wet.

As a last resort, she could only lean towards the center, and the man also leaned into the middle area where the rain could not sweep away like her. The two of them had their backs facing each other, each looking at the rain.

It rained for a long time, and when it finally stopped, it was getting dark.

Su Li hurriedly walked out, fearing that it would rain again. Her footsteps hurriedly slipped forward, and she fell to the ground with a "thud".

The hem of her skirt was dirty, the paint cover was scratched and bleeding, and one of her shoes was missing. She was in an extremely miserable state.

Fortunately, no one saw her. She struggled to get up, and suddenly someone helped her up from behind.

Su Li looked back and saw that it was the man with her back to back in the pavilion just now. It was a bit embarrassing for him to see such a thing. She really wanted to run away immediately, but she knew she couldn't be so rude and had to tell him.

I just wanted to say thank you, so I tried my best to smile, then looked up at his face, opened my mouth, and stood there in a daze.

The other party was also stunned and looked at her in disbelief, "Is it you?"

The familiar voice seemed like it had been separated for half a century.

Su Li felt her eyes heat up slightly, and a strange feeling crept up from her heart. She looked at him, as if a beloved thing that had been lost for a long time suddenly returned to her one day, "You..."

There was so much to say that she didn't know what to say first. She simply didn't speak and just stared at him.

I can't bear to look away for a moment, for fear that if I look away, I won't be able to see it again.

The man in front of me looks much more mature than before, but he is still very handsome. He is not bald or shiny. He has neat short hair. He is wearing a white T-shirt and black casual trousers. It is completely impossible to tell that he is a middle-aged uncle.

.

Su Li looked at him for a long time, suspecting that she was dreaming, "Is it really you? Gu Ling'an?"

"It's me." Gu Ling'an reached out and gently pushed a strand of her hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ears, then stepped forward and hugged her, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I didn't expect it either."

"You haven't changed at all."

"How is it possible? I am no longer that young girl."

"That's just a change in age."

The two hugged there for a while, and then left together when the street lights around them came on.
