God said I would meet you

His home was quite far from the train station, so he managed to stay up until seven o'clock, and Lin Jinyu left the house two full hours earlier.

It gets dark early in winter, and today is another cloudy day. It's only a little past seven o'clock, and it's already dark as if it's nightfall.Lin Jinyu wrapped himself up tightly and went out to take the subway. The wind on the street was so strong that he wished he could stuff himself into some kind of airtight ball and roll around.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are red decorations everywhere. The first-tier cities are always ridiculed for having a large number of foreigners. During the Spring Festival, Lin Jinyu really felt that there were fewer people than usual when walking on the street. I don’t know if they all went home or it was too cold. , everyone is reluctant to go out.

People who should go home at this time have gone home early, and the train station, which is usually crowded with people, is a little deserted at the moment.

The platform ticket has been canceled for many years. Lin Jinyu arrived early and couldn't get in. Most of the surrounding shops were closed for holidays. He had nowhere to go when he went back for the New Year, so he simply stood at the exit and waited.

There were quite a few grandparents wearing wool caps and military overcoats standing with him at the exit, stretching their necks to look in from time to time.They were probably waiting for them to fail to buy the earlier tickets, so they could only race against the Spring Festival and grab the children who came back for the New Year.

After standing for a long time, her legs became numb, Lin Jinyu shrank, and covered her face with a down jacket hat so that only her eyes were exposed.He was bored waiting, so he took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Xinli, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The beep sounded for a full 59 seconds, but the other party didn't answer, probably because they were muted and didn't see it.Lin Jinyu stretched out her finger from her cuff, and sent him a text message with only a funny cat's head emoji.

After about ten minutes, there was a reply: "?"

Ouch, this person is still as boring as before, Lin Jinyu thought, typing and asking him: Why did you just go?

After 1 minute, Zhang Xinli replied: Go to the bathroom.

Lin Jinyu typed: You have been in the toilet for so long, do you have kidney deficiency?

Zhang Xinli said: There are many people.

Lin Jinyu thought that this train started with K. Today, when the green leather train has disappeared, the "express train" has become the slowest train. Most migrant workers buy express station tickets when they go home during the New Year. There are squatting cars everywhere. Sitting and standing migrant workers were densely packed with sackcloth bags, woven bags, and suitcases.

He posted: How can I buy an express train? You can buy a high-speed train or a plane.

Zhang Xinli replied: Cheap.

Lin Jinyu asked: How long have you been sitting?

Zhang Xinli said: 25 hours.

25 hours is more than one day, don't you feel panic after staying on the train for such a long time... Lin Jinyu continued to talk to him: What ticket did you buy?

Zhang Xinli said: Sit on the ticket.

Sitting for 25 hours? !Won't the butt bloom... Lin Jinyu said: It's been too long, why don't you buy a sleeper.

Zhang Xinli replied: I didn't get it.After a while, another one came: cheap.

Being so stingy, you should treat yourself better once in a while... Lin Jinyu thought so, and typed: You should type these five words together and send a text message, it's so cheap.

Zhang Xinli asked: Where is uncle?

uncle?What uncle... Lin Jinyu thought for half a second, and realized that he was talking about his father. He said, "What uncle, you should be called uncle."

This time I waited for a few minutes before returning from the opposite side: every person reduces the age.

Hey, I have quite a lot of social experience... Lin Jinyu asked: Why did it take so long to reply to the message.

Zhang Xinli: Just now some elderly people got on the bus, and I helped them put their luggage.

These words reminded Lin Jinyu of the time when Zhang Xinli gave up his seat to a grandfather whom he had never met on the Liangshan car... Those blurred green trees, verdant mountains, and the sunlight coming in through the car windows .

Lin Jinyu replied: Your uncle went out to eat with others, only your father is waiting for you.

Zhang Xinli obviously didn't get the meaning, he asked: What?

Lin Jinyu said: Your father, Lin Jinyu, is also!

Zhang Xinli sent six points.The aunt who was waiting at the exit thought that the guy next to him had pretty eyes, but unfortunately his brain didn't seem to work well, so she kept giggling at the phone screen.

It was getting colder and colder, Lin Jinyu stood still for a long time, his whole body was frozen stiff.He rubbed his hands and saw a message from Zhang Xinli: It may be late, please find a warm place to sit for a while.

The express train is not good except for its slow speed. It has the lowest level of avoidance. Kong Rong in the train world has to stop everything to let other cars.

Lin Jinyu looked around, it was approaching the Spring Festival, and it was night, there was really no place to rest around the station, only the non-staple food store was still open, and the store was deserted, with only one shopkeeper snoring, it might as well be the person at the exit Cats in the pile, at least get some heat, let others protect themselves from the wind.

Lin Jinyu glanced at his watch, it was past eight o'clock.Zhang Xinli was still urging him to take a rest, but Lin Jinyu sent countless "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" to stand still.

Zhang Xinli quickly asked him: Are you sitting down?

Lin Jinyu kept an eye out, and waited for six or seven minutes before returning: I'm sitting down.He also added a lot of drama: Wow, there is a brother on the opposite side who is so serious, he is resting with a suitcase and reading a book.

Zhang Xinli asked so quickly, because he knew what he said and what he was like, and wanted to see if he was being perfunctory, but Lin Jinyu's brain suddenly became too lively to be fooled.

He said: Then you hide in a warm place first, it may be later on my side.

Lin Jinyu answered yes. He thought that Zhang Xinli must have not had a good rest after sitting on the ticket for more than 20 hours, so he said: "Then you rest, sleep on your stomach for a while, and leave later. Just come out of the mouth that you agreed, and I will have a drink." Play with your phone for a while.

After answering, Lin Jinyu turned off the phone screen and exhaled a long white breath in the cold night.

January in Shanghai is always rainy and less snowy, but this year, for some reason, this winter is colder and wetter than usual.About half an hour later, Lin Jinyu felt the tip of his nose prickly and cold. He looked up to the sky, and saw countless small, white cow hair-like snowflakes rustling in the dark night sky like countless stars falling from the mortal world. fall.

Xiaohan has just had the first snowfall, and this is the second snowfall this year. It came quietly on the eve of New Year's Eve.

When it snowed, it became colder. Lin Jinyu huddled in her down jacket and waited for more than half an hour, feeling her whole body stiff.From time to time, he stomped his feet on the spot, using the heat generated by this movement to keep warm, supporting himself in the cold wind and waiting for others.

After nine o'clock, every time there was a reminder that the train was coming, he tried his best to look into the crowd at the exit, lest the two of them would miss it with their eyes open at night.Groups of people poured out of the narrow passageway at the exit of the station and dispersed separately. Lin Jinyu watched the aunts and uncles around him receive their relatives back home one by one, and left with a smile on their face. The people around him changed one after another, only him Always look around in the snowy night.

He hadn't eaten his supper, and was a little hungry now, cold and sleepy.I don't know how long I waited, until he was so cold that he could barely feel it, and a large group of people came out of the exit again.

The font of the broadcast on the big screen in the square is bright red, and the glass wall reflects colorful lights.

Lin Jinyu almost saw the figure carrying a bag and pushing a suitcase out of the station at first sight.

Compared with his suit consisting of down jacket, woolen vest, thick shirt, and hat, Zhang Xinli's clothes are much thinner. A simple black and yellow cotton jacket and a sweater that doesn't look too thick have become his defense. All equipment for Shanghai Chill.

His hair was shorter than Lin Jinyu's memory. Without the cover of those broken hairs, his facial features appeared more profound and three-dimensional. The fine snowflakes fell on Zhang Xinli's hair and eyebrows in the wind, and turned into tiny drops. of water vapor.

Unlike Lin Jinyu, Zhang Xinli has inner double eyelids. He usually looks like a single eyelid, but the shape of his eyes is very good-looking. It looks a bit fierce alone, but it matches well with his eyebrows. Although he is not as sunny and handsome as Lin Jinyu, he is even more charming. Men's handsomeness.

Seeing him, Lin Jinyu waved to him and called his name. Those calls turned into reality under the wrapping of coldness, and condensed into clusters of white gas visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Xinli also saw him, and it was difficult for him to say hello with something in his hands, so he raised his chin at Lin Jinyu and walked towards him pushing the box.

Lin Jinyu went up to meet him and took the bag in his hand.We haven't seen each other for half a year, and both of them seem to have grown taller. Lin Jinyu is still a little shorter than him, but at least he regained a few centimeters.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, this is the coldest night of the year, they parted in summer and reunited in winter.
