Lu Sheng and Wang Lai walked forward silently, their mentality now undergoing some subtle changes.
The initial excitement after a chance encounter turned into calmness, or in other words, some expectation.
They walked in tacit understanding and aimlessly. At first there was still some distance between them, but eventually their shoulders got closer and closer, and they would touch each other from time to time.
No one asked the other where they were going, but occasionally made some very inconspicuous conversations.
Wang Lai looked at the streets and alleys of the city and said to Lu Sheng beside him, "Meizhou has hardly changed over the years."
"Yes, everything is still the same."
"I have been to many places, but in the end I discovered that it is this humble place that gives me a sense of belonging."
"Of course, there are memories in my hometown."
Memories have a temperature, and the temperature of memories is always thirty-six degrees.
"Yeah, it reminds me of a lot of things from the past."
Walking idle in the streets of the city, they are like a couple passing away their boring time. But if they are bored, not everyone can easily understand their happiness.
Song Haoqian, Lin Xi, and Lu Sheng simply forgot about them all. In the past ten years, he seemed to have not lived a good life for himself.
For Lu Sheng, in his sinful life after turning thirty, there was finally a day when his existence had meaning. Because he knew what to do the next day.
"Had breakfast?"
Wang Lai smiled and shook his head, his light yellow hair swaying in the wind.
"Let's go, we haven't had breakfast together yet, let's go eat."
There was a breakfast shop not far from them. At around seven o'clock in the morning, the breakfast shop was extremely popular. Lu Sheng and Wang Lai walked in.
The shop was not big, but there were many people. Lu Sheng asked Wang Lai to quickly find a place and occupy a seat, while he ran to order food.
After a while, Lu Sheng brought back the steamed buns, fried dough sticks and porridge. Fortunately, Wang Lai occupied a seat, so those who came in later had to stand aside and wait.
At this time, a table inside became vacant. The shop owner looked at the four people who came in later and walked to Lu Sheng and Wang Lai.
The shop owner pointed to the two-person table closer to the inside, hoping that they would make room for the four-person seat. "Brother, I'm sorry, can you and your sister-in-law sit at the table inside?"
After listening to the boss's words, Lu Sheng and Wang Lai were both stunned for a moment, but then a light of happiness flashed across their faces.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can sit anywhere, as long as we sit together." Lu Sheng picked up the bowl he had just put down, looked at the shop owner and said with a smile. Even he was a little surprised that he was actually having a conversation with someone. Just kidding.
After listening to Lu Sheng's words, the boss laughed, and so did Wang Lai.
Throughout the breakfast, Wang Lai and Lu Sheng chatted a lot, and the atmosphere of the chat became more intimate starting from Lu Sheng's joke.
Lu Sheng learned that Wang Lai was now a doctor and she was on annual leave. She returned to Liang County because her grandfather turned eighty.
Wang Lai also learned that Lu Sheng worked in a university and was a university teacher.
None of them asked about each other's family situation, and neither of them wanted to know about each other's family situation. Now, they all particularly cherish this little time together.
They seemed to have endless topics to talk about. The customers in the breakfast shop finished their meals one after another and went to start their busy day. In the end, only the two of them were left.
"Should we leave?" Wang Lai looked at the empty shop and asked Lu Sheng in a low voice.
Lu Sheng looked around and responded, "Yes, it's time to go."
"Let's go to the Meijiang River together, okay?"
"Let's go." Lu Sheng said, stood up, took out the change from his pocket, and put it on the table.
Wang Lai looked at Lu Sheng and said with some surprise, "Not many people still use cash now."
Lu Sheng is used to this payment method. Many things, once you get used to them, are really difficult to change. Many people are like this. You can say that they are unchanging and stick to the rules. Of course, you can also say that they are following tradition and not following the rules.
Like change.
In the evenings and holidays, there are always many citizens coming for a walk along the Meijiang River. On Monday morning, the Meijiang Riverfront seemed a little deserted.
However, the deserted riverside did not affect the happiness and joy of the two people at all. They walked and chatted by the riverside, recounting their interesting experiences over the years.
Happy time always passed quickly. They walked along the riverside and then to Meizhou Park. They walked and walked from morning to noon and then to afternoon.
As they walked, they came to the vicinity of Meizhou City No. 1 High School, which was the high school where they studied. The two stopped and stood at the intersection of the street, looking at the high school gate in the street from a distance.
They glanced at the door and couldn't help but look at each other.
Wang Lai was still so beautiful, with the light makeup on her face, long eyelashes, and light-colored lipstick on her lips. Lu Sheng found that he hadn't looked at a woman carefully in ten years.
Lu Sheng looked at the woman in front of him, the woman who once loved him deeply. Does she still have him in her heart now?
Wang Lai looked at Lu Sheng, who was no longer young, and looked at his haggard face, guessing that he had not lived a satisfactory life for so many years. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I don't know what you have been through, but if we can be together,
Will your life be different?"
In the ten years since Xiaoqing's death, Lu Sheng has always been alone. Hatred and anger filled his entire heart, leaving no room to think about other things. For the past ten years, Lu Sheng has been living an ascetic life like a monk.
Life.
Lu Sheng even thought that he might never have the urge and might never need a woman again.
All this changed Lu Sheng's mentality after seeing Wang Lai. Because there is love between Lu Sheng and Wang Lai.
The contact with Wang Lai's body on the bus not only awakened the purest emotions deep in his heart, but also the most primitive and direct desires slowly occupied Lu Sheng's heart.
Lu Sheng was about to search around, but unexpectedly, a hotel signboard stood out behind them.
Lu Sheng glanced at Wang Lai, turned around and walked towards the hotel. Without hesitation, Wang Lai followed Lu Sheng and walked in.
Wang Lai stood not far from Lu Sheng, watching him check in. After completing the check-in procedure, he followed him upstairs.
The two people walked up the stairwell without saying a word, just like two high school students who were about to do something bad, they walked quietly to the room. They walked gently through the corridor, not daring to make too much noise.
