The expression on Rose's face froze for a while, then he glanced hard at the beautiful back in front of him and leaned back on his seat.
Although anger was already igniting in his heart, he still had a look of disdain on the surface, but his eyes were no longer as confident and calm as they were originally.
He glanced around boredly and saw that many people had half-closed their eyes tiredly after a long bumpy journey, some were snoring loudly, and others were minding their own business or looking out the window.
The scenery, or listening to the music coming from the earbuds on the phone, or passing the time playing video games, occasionally a few eyes glanced at me, obviously attracted by the interview just now.
He was about to look away when he suddenly caught a glimpse of brown hair, which brought back memories deep in his heart. How long ago was that memory, five years, ten years?
A kind of sweet tenderness spread in his heart for an instant, but it was only for a moment. He regained his composure, secretly wondering how he could meet the person he had pursued so hard here, but the other person had never been tempted from beginning to end, and finally ignored his affectionate retention.
, a person who came to this country alone without any hesitation.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, because of my professional relationship, I have had many friends of the opposite sex. I have already tasted the relationship between spirit and flesh, but I still remember her...
At this moment, a flawless face that was exactly the same as the angel in his memory. Although it had gained a bit of mature charm with the passage of time, the big eyes on it were still as clear as ever, suddenly appeared from behind two meters away.
On a seat.
"Anna!"
A name that I had not thought of for a long time blurted out unexpectedly at this moment.
He could no longer think about why he didn't notice the other person when he got on and off the bus, because his mind was hit by an unexpected surprise and went blank for a moment.
Yes, the cute girl wearing a red coat and a pair of brown and beige boots sitting two rows away from him was the one who quietly left Oscar School alone and took a bus to Jiang'an.
Here comes Teacher Anna!
Anna heard his uncontrollable address, looked over with her beautiful eyes, and smiled at him.
Of course she recognized him, Ross.
In fact, as soon as she boarded the bus from Jiangnan City Bus Terminal, she saw him sitting in front, taking a nap.
He was her college classmate. He also got into the university with excellent grades and was favored by the University of Chicago. After entering the school, he was also interested in public issues, international relations and other fields. He learned a lot outside of the classroom.
A chance encounter in the library.
But from almost the same starting point, a few years later, when I was about to graduate, I embarked on two completely different life trajectories. It was like walking through a maze, with the same entrance. Because of different encounters, the locations in the middle were very different, and the end was not the same.
Do you know who can reach the so-called end point?
She wholeheartedly pursues knowledge, cares about current affairs, and pursues universal values. After several years of practice and thinking, she has a strong impression of this ancient Eastern country, now a rising power. After graduation, she decided to come here regardless of the opposition of others.
Go here.
He was originally smart and public-spirited, but in the process of studying and in different practical experiences, his originally impetuous mentality became more frivolous and intolerable. After seeing some things in the world that were more tempting, he
Gradually changed. Yes, he also pursues the constraints behind public events, but he is more fascinated by the charm of money and money. He will also immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, in order to obtain more important stepping stones...
Therefore, although the two people had similar interests at the beginning, they gradually drifted apart and finally parted ways.
Contrary to her, he stayed in his home country and worked in public media. He was involved in several newspapers and websites and seemed to be at ease.
Of course, after graduation, because they crossed the ocean and were busy with each other's careers, the two of them exchanged information online at first, but later they had no news at all.
Ross liked her, and she had felt it vaguely since they met on campus. During class, he deliberately prepared some witty questions and answers to attract her attention. After school, the many encounters in the library were no longer like encounters.
He had been invited to parties and outings many times during the holidays, and she had already understood his feelings.
But she doesn't like him.
Rose's conditions were not bad in all aspects, including a wealthy family, handsome appearance, playful words and deeds, and outstanding achievements, but she just didn't feel it.
She had also asked herself, if she insisted on pursuing the reason, it would be that he was not sincere and pure enough, and his subsequent motives were impure and his methods were unscrupulous.
Ross pursued her again and again, but she could only refuse him again and again.
Fortunately, after graduation, the two went their separate ways, and it was almost impossible to meet each other. This made her relax and devote herself to the career she loved.
But I didn't expect to meet him here.
She didn't take the initiative to say hello on the way, and even she couldn't explain why.
Maybe it's because I haven't sorted out my feelings about the long separation, maybe I'm worried that changes in reality will damage the original image, maybe I want to observe and understand...
God seemed to have granted her wish, allowing Rose, who was delighted to see her and eager to show off, to vividly display her disgraceful personal image not far ahead.
But Anna, who had witnessed the whole process, felt so calm. Maybe she had no expectations in her heart, but it was just a superfluous worry. In the end, the result was as expected, even worse.
If the trajectory of life deviates even a little at some point, the subsequent journey will be completely different.
It would be wrong to say that I don’t have any emotions. It’s inevitable to see the boy who was just a little frivolous at the beginning finally transform into a sophisticated and sophisticated man, just like Barbie doll finally turned into a middle-aged aunt, just like the Pleasant Goat finally turned into an old sheep.
Feelings.
However, when she heard Rose's blurted greeting, she still felt in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the campus scene a few years ago.
He came back to his senses, his eyes bursting with intense light.
Because there happened to be an empty seat next to Anna, Ross walked over in two steps and said with a smile: "Dear lady, can I sit down?"
Seeing that his Chinese was quite good, but he still used the greeting method he used in the library, Anna also replied in Chinese: "Please help yourself."
Ross sat down and his first words were: "Anna, you are still so beautiful, more beautiful than flowers and brighter than the moon!"
Anna said reservedly: "Rose, long time no see. I really didn't expect to meet you here."
Ross seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked carefully: "Just now... I was joking with a friend, and it made you laugh!"
Anna shook her head slightly and said: "Ross, it seems that your views on China are still different from mine."
Ross shrugged and said, "We haven't seen each other for so long. Do you want to discuss such a heavy topic with me at the beginning? Or can we talk about something lighter, such as your current job?"
Anna said: "For me, this topic always runs through my work, so I don't think it will be heavy. Isn't your current job also related to this?"
Ross nodded and said: "Yes, Anna, I work in the Washington Post now. If you are willing, I can introduce you to it?"
Anna cast her charming eyes out the window and said, "Rose, after all these years, you still don't understand me. If I liked this, why did I come here in the first place?"
Ross said: "That's not necessarily true. People's thoughts change over time. I thought you would change your mind!"
Anna said: "I'm teaching in a university now, and I feel very good. Thank you."
Ross said: "Oh, I thought you were also a reporter, so why did you get on this car? You should also be going to Jiang'an Village?"
Anna nodded and said: "Yes. But this is for personal investigation and research purposes, not my professional job. What about you, your newspaper is so fast, can you get here in two days?" (To be continued)
