Chapter 10 Girl, your mask is off

The subway roared through the tunnel like a heavy python.

Miss Yuzi was squeezed close to the door by the crowd, she looked out the glass door blankly, she couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness, only the occasional flashing lights, her brain was in chaos, like this invisible underground world Same, don't think about anything, don't think about anything.Like the standby state of a computer.

Suddenly, she saw the man's face reflected in the glass door. Under the interaction of light and glass, it was a hazy beauty.The edges and corners are sharp, not to mention how handsome, but it is a clean and delicate face.

I can't remember when Miss Yuzi began to pay attention to this person.

Ms. Yuzi is a Virgo. There seems to be a rigorous operating system in her brain, orderly and conservative. For example, she takes a fixed route to work every day, buys breakfast at a fixed breakfast shop, and waits for the same subway train in the same car at a fixed location.She couldn't help laughing. This kind of self is just like the "person in a cover" described by Chekhov. In fact, it can be summed up in one word, lazy.that is it.

So when she found out that she ran into that man for several days in a row, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, because in this chaotic world, there was actually a person like herself who obeyed the inexplicable order.

In the vast sea of ​​people, he is different from others, but also similar to himself, which is probably the reason why a woman has an initial affection for a opposite sex.

But in such a crowded subway, it is really not a place to meet romance.

There are always crowds of people between them, pushing and shoving, face to face or back to back with strangers at zero distance, his fat belly is against her back, her big leather bag is on his thigh, she is holding her mobile phone coquettishly Sending a WeChat message to someone, he played the game in his hand blankly...

They are next to each other, but separated from each other.That kind of indifference, so cramped that people dare not speak loudly.

Hundreds of strangers are encountered in the subway every day. Their faces are blurred and indifferent, and there is no special difference. They look like ghosts wearing masks, walking forward under the artificial light of the underground world. .

Who pays special attention to the presence of another human being?
But Miss Yuzi felt in her heart that because of the existence of that person, she was no longer a puppet-like existence who lost her perception and was reduced to a mask.

Once, Miss Yuzi was only one person away from him. The slightly short-sighted Miss Yuzi adjusted her glasses, and finally saw the man's side face clearly: a straight nose with a slender and long nose. Long eyelashes, drooping, he is not looking at the phone, his eyes seem to be focused on a certain point in the air, um, he is in a daze.

Suddenly, as if sensing that Miss Yuzi was looking at him, he raised his head, and his gaze met Miss Yuzi's, his eyes were bright.Miss Yuzi had no time to dodge, and after a second of panic, she met his gaze calmly.

His eyes are like some kind of bird, calm and detached, as if out of tune with everything around him.Suddenly, a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then he lowered his head again.

Everything was too fast, but Yuzi's sixth sense told her that the glance just now was a polite greeting.

Her palms were sweating: Could it be that he noticed her too?
Boom, boom, the subway door opened, and Miss Yuzi stepped out with the flow of people.She walked up the steps briskly, climbing up the steps like a child.It's too stuffy in the subway, so it's better to relax outside. However, under the artificial light, the eyes of this underground world are very pale.

Suddenly, "Girl" came from behind, and Yuzi didn't react to the first sound.It wasn't that she didn't hear it, but that her ears were just freed from the rumble of the subway just now, as if they hadn't recovered their normal functions, so the man's voice seemed to be coming through a glass cover, buzzing.

"Girl..." At the second sound, Yuzi stopped and turned around.

It's that person!

He was standing a few steps away from her, with his head slightly raised, with a smile on his face, and his bright eyes seemed to have some kind of magical power to captivate people's hearts, Yuzi was a little dizzy.

He stepped forward and handed her something: "Girl, your mask fell off."

what?
At the moment of hesitation, everything in front of him quietly changed.

The original scene setting of the subway station suddenly turned into a scene of a reception, but the white light remained, and everything seemed to be coated with a layer of cool silver light.

They stood on the steps, and all the noise was far away from them.He was wearing a tuxedo and held a feather mask in his hand, while Miss Tamako herself was wearing a long white gown.

Just when she was surprised and hesitated, she didn't step on her foot firmly, and staggered. She leaned forward and was about to fall straight on the man.

With a jolt, Miss Yuzi opened her eyes.

The sound of rumbling and rumbling is still in my ears, mixed with the whistling sound of the subway passing through the tunnel, and the clinking of parts on the rails colliding with each other.

His own face was reflected on the glass door, and behind that face was that man's face.

Yuzi took a closer look at herself, beautiful lip line, although she had applied bright lip gloss, but the fine lines on her lips could be vaguely seen; small nose, curved eyes and eyebrows, round baby face...

Suddenly a series of questions flashed in her mind: How long has it been since she looked at herself so carefully?Although I have to simply apply isolation before going out every day, it is just a hasty process; what was I like three or five years ago?do you remember?

Memories seem to rush forward along the nerves of the brain.Jump to a certain point, stop abruptly.

The self with the ponytail tied up, his eyes narrowed when he smiled, he laughed heartily when he was happy, and punched An Qing with his small fist when he was unhappy.At that time, Yuzi was protected and did not know the dangers and difficulties of the outside world.

But now, An Qingyuan was on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

They are no longer related.

The so-called no relationship is not even comparable to the relationship with the stranger who is pushing and shoving in front of her at this moment. She hasn't seen him for almost two years.I can't say how much I miss him, but I always think of him when I am weak.

The trace of love for them is that he is always synonymous with her sense of security.Once he said arrogantly to Yuzi: "You have been protected so well since you were a child, how will you live without me?" At that time, she made fun of his arrogance.And after he left, she often thought of what he said.She used to really hate her for being so promising, when she had no living expenses, stood on the street and got lost and couldn't go home.But as time passed, she survived. Although it wasn't very good, she was secretly glad. Fortunately, he didn't know about her future.

When he was determined to go abroad, she exploded in anger, but her blurted words to persuade her to stay turned into a breakup. On the surface, she looked arrogant and invulnerable.

She never lowered her posture in love.

The weaker you are, the more you have to maintain a high profile on the surface so that you won't be exposed and ridiculed.

But this city is too big, she never knew that it was really difficult to be alone.

She stayed up early in the morning to write the plan until three or four o'clock, and broke down crying when she wrote it. She was just a rookie soldier, but she was always made things difficult by the female executive.

When she went out in the morning, she felt like she was wandering in the cotton pile...

Looking up, Yuzi saw the face of the man on the glass door again.At this moment, she really wanted to meet a stranger.A man who entered the same carriage at the same time as her every day.If the weather is fine, how about skipping work together, plan?To hell!
Beep beep, the subway door was opened untimely.

Miss Yuzi waved her hand and was about to shout, but the crowd rushed out, and she was pushed forward.She opened her mouth, but no sound came out of her throat. She was so anxious, why couldn't she cry out in fright?
When she stood up and looked back, the figure of the man had disappeared.

She was lost for a moment, then walked up the steps as if she had lost something.

In the vast and crowded subway station, where will there be any encounters?With so many people with blurred faces, who is the special one?

Yuzi suddenly touched her face with her hand, and what came to her heart was the words: "Girl, your mask has fallen off."

Nothing on the face.

She adjusted her emotions and reminded herself to think about how to deal with the female supervisor's making things difficult and cross-examining.

She was blank with no expression on her face, she looked very much like a faceless person wearing a mask.
