countercurrent

The first time Song Zege met Xiao Su was the day when he returned to his alma mater as an outstanding alumnus to give a lecture.

At the end of the lecture, I discussed the issue of self-employment with a few highly motivated juniors, and had dinner with my former mentor. It was evening when I left the cafeteria. A piece of red.

Song Zege subconsciously took a walk to the west area, where there was a small forest, which was his and Bai Ling's favorite place to go in the twilight.

There is a "well-known scenic spot" in M ​​University, which is also a so-called holy place for lovers. It is the crooked neck tree in the grove in the West District. The tree is crooked into an upside-down "L". It is jokingly called the tree of heaven, so there are rumors that as long as couples tie knots on the branches and make wishes on the Qixi Festival, they will never be separated for a long time.

Later, it was spread far and far, and it gradually became different from the original. In the old days, at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, many red ropes would be tied to the trees, some with bells, and the wind was light. As soon as I gave it away, I sang a song "jingling", which was quite pleasant. Later, it became an "Internet celebrity" tree in M ​​City, and many people came to join in the fun, so now the tree is surrounded by people all year round. With all kinds of ribbons, colorful ropes, even scarves and silk stockings and other messy things, the scenery is not only beautiful, but sometimes it makes people laugh and cry, helpless.

Song Zege remembered that he and Bai Ling went to an old carpenter's house, specially chose small-leaf red sandalwood, and asked someone to order a wooden plaque with their names engraved on it, leaving a hole at the top and bottom, and the top hole was used to tie a red string , A bell was strung in the hole below. On the Qixi Festival when they were 20 years old, the two took each other's wooden sign, tied it to the branch, and made a promise for life with a kiss.

And that life was so short, so short that within a few months, Bai Ling disappeared during an outing and never heard from her again.

It was Song Zege who went to the sky to search for him. He ran to Bai's Group and slept at the gate of their headquarters for more than a month. He didn't get any news, but he ruined himself so badly that he was worse than a beggar. Trapped in despair.

Regarding the disappearance of the heir, the Bai family has not released any clear official news from the beginning to the end, whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.

This also gave Song Zege faint hope, as long as it wasn't the worst situation, he would always wait until Bai Ling came back.

Before Bai Ling comes back, he should make himself better, this is his promise to Bai Ling.

So he no longer gave up on himself needlessly, but revived his spirit, devoted himself to the development of an app that had been lagging behind for a long time, and strived to release it as soon as possible, so as to provide more support for him to find Bai Ling.

With money, there will be more manpower and material resources, and there will be more possibilities to find Bai Ling.

Song Zege walked all the way, thought a lot, and finally laughed at himself unconsciously.

It has been three years since Bai Ling left him. The three years they agreed to travel all over the world turned into three years of one person looking for another person all over the world.

Now he revisits the old place alone, but he always recalls some good times in the past. Not only did he fail to be relieved by the stories of the old scene, but it added a bit of bitterness of right and wrong.

It's like drinking bitter wine, straight to the heart.

Song Zege's footsteps slowed down, and he couldn't help but feel a little retreat in his heart. When he looked up, he had already walked to the side.

The crooked neck tree is not far away, and there is a young man wearing a gray sweater and black jeans standing beside him. The man has his back to Song Zege, his head is slightly tilted up, and he follows his line of sight. It is black and white. The balloon was tied to a branch, struggling to fly higher, to the sky that was about to sink.

The man just watched without doing anything, as if realizing that someone was coming, he tilted his head slightly, revealing the left ear and the faintly visible high bridge of the nose.

Song Zege felt very familiar for no reason, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and his flustered expression for no reason made him take a few steps straight forward, and he barely stopped until he was about to bump into the back of that person.

The man seemed to be indifferent as if he couldn't pretend nothing happened. He moved his feet and wanted to turn around, but the moment he turned around, he was hugged vigorously.

With a "bang", the white balloon exploded suddenly, while the black balloon unknowingly broke free from the string and drifted away with the wind.

You are finally back, Bai Ling.
