Xi Haitang's eyes originally fell on the gothic-style display window. Various hardcover volumes of Andersen's fairy tales filled the bookshelf, such as "The Little Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "Thumbelina", "The Little Match Seller"
"Girl" and "The Ugly Duckling" made her unable to help but be immersed in the world of fairy tales. Those beautiful stories were like a moss on the cobblestones, passing through several futures day after day, year after year. The prince learned from Andersen's
Leaving with the engagement contract in hand, the dove's peaceful relief accompanies the mermaid's love, and everything seems to have its own arrangements.
When the phone rang, Xi Haitang looked away. After learning the situation from the waiter, she looked at the time and realized that she couldn't go back for a while, "I'm still outside now. You can use the hotel's spare key."
Just open it, it’s okay.”
"Is that so... Madam, you didn't put anything valuable in the room, did you?" The waiter on the other end of the phone was a little worried.
Xi Haitang smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I only have simple luggage."
"Well, thank you then. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"It doesn't matter."
High in the sky, the magnificent golden light of the setting sun is trapped behind the clouds, and a faint sunset glow can be vaguely seen, which seems to be a good omen of auspiciousness.

Gu Xijue returned to room 403 under the guidance of the hotel service staff. He stepped on the floor very lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the new residents in the room, even though he knew that no one was there.
In the corner, there is a suitcase, dark brown with light patterns. Just glance at it casually, and your heartstrings will tremble suddenly.
This box looks very familiar, and Haitang also has an identical one!
I still remember that time, there was a traffic jam on the road, and he was running wildly on the street. He heard someone calling his name from behind. Looking back, he saw her and Xiaochen dragging a heavy suitcase, running with difficulty in the busy traffic.
, ran towards him.
In his life, he had never known that the feeling of running was so good, so refreshing and refreshing. The back of his shirt was soaked with sweat, but the left side of his chest was warm.
His hand subconsciously touched his left chest, but now it was empty.
Memories gradually fade away, time cannot be restored, scenes will never reappear, and people will never be seen again.
Her fragile figure flashed back and forth in his mind. It took him all his efforts and courage to leave her so resolutely. The heart wrapped under his indifferent appearance was clamoring to escape from the shackles and ties of his body. For the feeling
For him, it was a kind of mental torture that was thousands of times more painful than destroying his body.
Suddenly, there was a burst of sadness in my heart. No, to be precise, it was a kind of pain, a heart-piercing pain.
But... why is he smiling on his face?
Those long-dusted memories surged from the end of the world for thousands of miles and came to his heart, but stopped. He sighed softly, why did he laugh? It was because this similar box made him laugh.
Was he moved by remembering the vivid scene again? Or was he grateful to God for giving him such a day and such an opportunity to relive the old days and put the "anytime" on hold?
The evening sun shines quietly on the window, and the dust in the air gathers together, swirls, falls, and splashes again.

When Xi Haitang returned to the hotel, Gu Xijue had left for ten minutes.
Once again, passing by.
She checked in at the counter and then went upstairs with a stack of colorful fairy tale books.
The buildings in Copenhagen are not very high, and this hotel only has 8 floors. She lives on the 4th floor, so the elevator is not that important, so she chooses to take the stairs.
For the convenience of traveling, she specially wore flat shoes. As for the high heels she would wear to attend the exchange meeting tomorrow, she stuffed them at the bottom of the box and would not take them out until the last moment. Her steps were light and graceful, perhaps because of the fairy tale book in her arms.
Let her emotions soar.
There were two hotel waiters at the corner of the stairs. Their uniforms were different from the others. They looked like temporary workers. They were probably students from the University of Copenhagen working part-time outside. They were chatting lightly, and they were speaking in Chinese, which made Xi Haitang uncomfortable.
I heard the conversation consciously.
"Hey, today seems to be very special. I have seen several Chinese people. Although I don't know them, they feel so friendly!" A girl with light blonde hair but really yellow skin said slightly intoxicated.
Said.
The other girl smiled, her voice as sweet as a bell, "Friendly?! Just now your eyes widened when you saw the man looking for a lighter. I think you are more than just friendly!"
"Oh, you're annoying!" the first girl said shyly.
"Why are you so shy? It's okay to like him!"
"Stop talking about whether you like him or not, I don't even know his name... I just heard the waiter at the counter call him Mr. Gu..."
Xi Haitang's heart suddenly trembled. Could it be an illusion?!
lighter……
Mr. Gu...
Is this really just a coincidence?!
Without thinking, Xi Haitang turned around and went downstairs again. This time, she ran.
Rushing to the counter in one breath, she asked anxiously, "Excuse me, is the Mr. Gu who just came for the lighter named Gu Xijue?!"
The waiter was stunned. Xi Haitang already knew the answer from her expression. The fairy tale book in her hand fell to the ground, and she finally understood the lyrics - fairy tales are all lies.
Why?! Why didn’t she come back earlier?! Why did she miss it again?!
Xi Haitang ran to the door and saw only the glow of the western sky, dyeing the entire sky red and blooming enchantingly, but he had long since disappeared.
Just like that, the two of them missed each other again.
Although he is always thinking of the other person in his heart, he still can't escape the trick of fate.
We are so far away, so we can only hope in our hearts that the day when we meet will come soon.
For some reason, Xi Haitang's feet suddenly softened, and Xi Haitang staggered slightly. Next to her, someone's arm supported her...
(Tears, last night my computer finally crashed after being tortured day and night. I didn’t finish it until three in the morning, and got up again at six-thirty in the morning to get ready for work. What a crazy day.
