722 The Fleeting Years of the Pujiang River (1)
On the side of the Pu River, there are European-style 19th-century buildings on one side, which are the ruins of the concession and the last remaining projection of the former imperial colonists. On the other side of the river are the cloudy skyscrapers and the upright pearl lighthouse, which is a proof of the rise of the dragon in the new century, and the microcosm of the seemingly endless urbanization of Shanghai and Ningxia.
Usually this is a place where tourists often come to, one of the most iconic attractions in Shanghai and Ningxia. Locals are passing by in a car and have no special feeling.
Ni Shang is not a local in Shanghai and Ningxia, but she has worked and lived in this city for several years. She rarely comes here except for being with her father once. She is a traitor, and I don’t know why she came here today.
In fact, she just took a random subway, chose an exit at will, walked out of the underground passage, turned two streets, and saw a bit of turbid Pujiang water.
Today is her birthday.
All she thought was to find a place and take a walk.
It's twenty-seven,
In a blink of an eye, it has been ten years of light.
And how many decades will there be in life?
In front is an ancient abandoned ferry entrance. In groups of three or three, several tourists were taking photos against the railings by the river. Looking up, the sky was a little cloudy, and a ray of golden light could be seen in the gap between the clouds. The river was gray, just as usual. A large tug was sailing into the field of view. In the distance, there were skyscrapers lined up, and the distance was a little unreal.
In the middle of this picture, the girl was wearing a knee-length white windbreaker, with a strand of hair messy in the wind, showing more charm.
She suddenly stopped and looked at the man walking towards her.
He smiled, not as young as ten years ago, but still had some shadows from that time.
He said: "Happy birthday, Ni Shang."
Ni Shang stood there, looking at the man in front of him, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.
After a long time, she asked, "How is Siyi now?"
Jiang Zhihan replied: "She is fine. She is now undergoing treatment and recovery at the Hong Kong University Affiliated Hospital... I was going to send her there, but she refused to let her go... Thanks to your phone number."
Ni Shang patted his chest and showed a sincere smile, "Thank God"
She glanced at Jiang Zhihan and suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Why is it so coincidental today?"
Jiang Zhihan put away his smile and looked at her very seriously, "It's not a coincidence that I came to find you specifically. Because I found someone half a month ago and followed you all the time, I was able to find you here all at once."
It was a little beyond his expectations, and the girl was not surprised or angry. She turned to look at the other side of the river, and suddenly asked a question that was unrelated to each other, "Zhihan, do you like Huning?"
Jiang Zhihan shook his head, "No, I like Qingzhou far better than Huning... Of course, although the air is worse and the summer is hotter, my favorite is Zhongzhou."
He looked up at Ni Shang, "Today... do you have any arrangements? Where are you going?"
Ni Shang raised the corner of her mouth, "Don't you know?"
Jiang Zhihan said seriously: "Some things... I want to tell you, but I don't know if you have any time today."
between."
Ni Shang stared at him for a few seconds, "Well... Then let's walk along the river."
The two walked along the several kilometers of riverside avenue, and the topic started with Wu Siyi. Ni Shang asked very carefully, and Jiang Zhihan patiently told her what happened after he received the call, how to contact friends, how to reach the disaster area, how to meet Taotao, and how to rescue Siyi.
Ni Shang asked: "Was Siyi sober when she saw you?"
Jiang Zhihan nodded, "She was half pressed, but she was very conscious. Fortunately, there was water in part of the space where she could move. Later, she joked that it wouldn't be so difficult if she had a phone call on everyone to talk to him."
Ni Shang looked at him, "When Siyi saw you...what did the first sentence say?"
Jiang Zhihan was stunned, "Well...she said... are you here?"
Ni Shang stopped and was a little lost, "Are you here?" She repeated to herself, suddenly shook her head, and didn't know why she chuckled softly.
Lifting her eyes, she said, "Not long ago, Wu Yin called me and said she was going to work in Shanghai and Ningxia... I wanted to find a time to have a good talk with me."
Jiang Zhihan said: "When I answered your phone, I was in her hometown. Congcong got married, hey..."
Ni Shang pursed her lips, "It's really not easy for her..."
Jiang Zhihan sighed softly, "Yes, it's not easy for her."
Ni Shang said: "For a while, I always thought I was the most miserable person. Now I think back on it, it's really ridiculous." She looked at Jiang Zhihan, "Isn't it ridiculous?"
Jiang Zhihan didn't know how to answer, but just looked at her very gently.
Ni Shang looked at him for a while, turned around and walked to a telescope looking at the distance, as if looking at the view on the other side. Jiang Zhihan stood behind her and could see her snow-white neck and black hair exposed on the collar of her windbreaker.
Ni Shang seemed to be talking to herself, "For a while, I always felt cursed by fate. Later I realized that I was actually favored by fate... Not everyone can have such a good father, such a good mother, such a good group of friends, and such a good teacher. How did that song sing? My dear, my friend, please cherish everything you have... It's probably the past year that I think I have slowly figured out some things and wanted to learn to cherish what I have given me."
Jiang Zhihan sang softly behind her,
Your birthday reminds me of
A friend from a long time ago
It was a cold winter
He wanders on the streets
I thought he was begging for something
But he always shook his head
He said today is his birthday
But no one wishes him a happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Hold my hand
Sing this happy birthday song with me
Happy birthday to you
Happy every day of your life
Don't worry about how to celebrate your birthday
He sang this song ten years ago on another girl's birthday. At that time, she regarded the girl opposite as her biggest enemy, and now they are good friends.
At that time, he and her were intimate, and now they were getting farther and farther away.
Ten years have changed so much, but it seems that her smile has not changed.
She smiled, "Thank you."
The youth, sunshine, sincerity and beauty of the smile are as dazzling and touching as ever.
