The Pentium Era - South to North

After coming out of the Tuxiangyuan Hotel in Pudong, Liu Ligan took Huang Meili for a walk in the Jiangbin Park not far away. From here, he looked at the Bund opposite and the yachts on the Huangpu River. As they came more and more, there was a yacht dock not far away. Liu Ligan remembered that his "Renjia Tourism" should also buy a yacht for their guests to cruise on the Huangpu River.

Liu Ligan told this idea to Huang Meili, and Huang Meili said yes, okay, then next time I come, Lao Ma, can you take me to the river to see Lujiazui here and see over there? The Bund?

Liu Ligan said yes.

Then, they got in the car and returned to Puxi through the tunnel. Liu Ligan took Huang Meili to see some of their other old bungalows.

Back at the hotel, the two of them sat for a while and then went out for dinner at Xintiandi. Huang Meili smiled as she watched Liu Ligan order food. The past pages were opened page by page. Liu Ligan still remembered what Huang Meili liked to eat. After he ordered one Cai looked up at Huang Meili, who nodded with a smile.

After dinner, Huang Meili folded her hands on her chest and watched Liu Ligan pay the bill. This was what they agreed. Every time she watched Liu Ligan pay, Huang Meili felt a plus sign in her heart. You can let Lao Ma buy orders three hundred times, no, no, five hundred times, isn’t it enough? Then a thousand times.

After walking out of the restaurant, Huang Meili and Liu Ligan said they wanted to go see a movie. In the United States, it is difficult to see Chinese movies, especially in our countryside in Southern California.

The two of them went to the Grand Guangming Cinema, where "Mermaid" and "Macau" were being screened. Liu Ligan said to watch Stephen Chow, but Huang Meili wanted to watch Fa Ge. Of course, Liu Ligan listened to Huang Meili.

"Lao Ma, don't feel wronged, or we can watch Chow Yun-fat and then go see Stephen Chow." Huang Meili said.

Liu Ligan said: "I have no grievances."

Huang Meili giggled: "Actually, I want to watch both movies. How about we watch both movies?"

Liu Ligan pointed to the display screen above the ticket office and said, "Okay, if you also want to watch "Kung Fu Panda", we will watch three of them."

"Hey, no, I'm from the United States and I want to go to Shanghai to watch American movies. I won't watch them." Huang Meili said.

The two of them bought water and popcorn, and went in to watch "Macau" first. After watching it, they waited in the rest area for more than 20 minutes. Liu Ligan bought popcorn and water again, and then went in to watch the last scene. "Mermaid".

After watching "The Mermaid", it was already past midnight. I had to drink before dinner. Liu Ligan didn't drive. The two of them were on Didi. In Shanghai at midnight, every car was empty and the lights were on. The taxi with the red light was slowly traveling on Nanjing West Road, looking sleepy.

Liu Ligan was about to stop the car when Huang Meili asked, is it far to walk back from here?

"It's not far, about twenty minutes' walk," Liu Ligan said.

"Then let's walk back, Lao Ma, you filled me up with popcorn." Huang Meili said.

Liu Ligan laughed: "Did you jump in the popcorn yourself?"

"You, you, you, you put the popcorn where my hand can grab it, how can I control it? You still do this, keep stuffing the popcorn bucket into me while watching a movie, don't you blame me? "

Liu Ligan quickly said: "Blame me, blame me, let's go."

There had just been a light rain, and the ground was wet. Under the reflection of the street lights, the ground was full of spots. Huang Meili took Liu Ligan's arm and walked forward. They walked from Nanjing West Road to Chengdu North Road, and from Chengdu North Road. The road went to Weihai Road, from Weihai Road to Yan'an Middle Road, then through Fumin Road and Julu Road, to Changshu Road.

The cold wind blew on their faces. After a long time, their faces stung a little, but they didn't feel it. From time to time, a drop or two of rain fell down from the shade of the trees they walked through, and it fell on their heads and necks, which was cold. The rainwater slid down, and it was so irritating that people shrank like a reflex, and Huang Meili giggled.

It's spring already, and the cold wind carries the fragrance of the branches and leaves that are beginning to bloom, mixed with the faint fishy smell on the road, and the smell of cooking wafting out from the restaurants that are still open from time to time, lingering in the air, being... It was suppressed and could not be let go for a long time.

Huang Meili and Liu Ligan said: "Lao Ma, when you come to the United States, come to our farm, and I will accompany you. Our farm is very big, and you can't walk to the end in a day."

Liu Ligan said yes.

"When I first arrived at the farm, Lao Ma, I missed my father and you. I would walk wildly on the farm alone. When I got to the back, I would sit on the ground and cry. There were roads in all directions in front of me. It was clear that there were roads wherever I went. But I felt that there was no road in front of me, so I sat there and cried and cried until it got dark. I was really lost and could not find my way back.

"It wasn't until my aunt came out to look for me in her car that I saw the lights and yelled that she found me. Along the way, she didn't say anything, let alone blame me. She must have known that those things were hidden in Seattle. Tears, now that I'm here, can flow as much as I want.

“When I got home, my aunt took out a flashlight and gave it to me. She told me, next time you go out, bring this flashlight with you. When it gets dark, just turn on the flashlight and I can see you from a distance. "

Liu Ligan's nose felt a little sore as he listened to Huang Meili's words. He tightened his arms and clamped Huang Meili's hand tightly.

"Lao Ma, later when my uncle told us that we could relax, I called you, but the call was no longer available," Huang Meili said.

Liu Ligan smiled bitterly and told her: "At that time, my company was bankrupt and I ran away."

Liu Ligan told Huang Meili how she left Hainan. Huang Meili sighed after hearing this, and she said:

"Lao Ma, Hainan is so wonderful, but how could we both be so unlucky and leave there in such a mess?"

Liu Ligan thought to himself, not just us, who didn’t leave Hainan in such an embarrassing state? Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao, Li Yong and his uncle, Chen Qihang and Lin Yiyan, Lao Tan and the second-rate guy, everyone was in such an embarrassing state. The land left Hainan. Hainan was once the place where their dreams grew up. But when their dreams were shattered, they were no longer just feathers.

The two people walked back to the hotel. The hotel door was closed and they rang the doorbell. The waiter immediately came to open the door for them and asked them if they wanted to prepare a midnight snack?

Liu Ligan looked at Huang Meili, and Huang Meili said: "No, thank you."

Pushing open the door of the bungalow, a wave of heat hit their faces, which were stiffened by the wind. They felt a little painful and itchy, but they quickly adapted to it.

Huang Meili told the waiter, "We will do it ourselves," and the waiter left the house.

Huang Meili made coffee for herself and tea for Liu Ligan. The two sat down on the sofa in the living room and continued chatting. They had too much to say, and the blank space of more than twenty years needed to be used. The words filled it up little by little. When I looked back, I found that there was still a gap in a certain place, so I went to fill it. As I filled it, I found that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, requiring more and more words.

Liu Ligan thought that on the night Haicheng and Huang Meili broke up, they kept talking like this on the hotel bed. Huang Meili put her past with Huang Hongguang and her aunt in front of him. Little by little, he felt that he finally understood Huang Meili, and when he finally wanted to love her sincerely, she was about to leave.

Just like today, when they recall the past, their hearts are always aching. For so many years, they have buried each other in their hearts and dug them out bit by bit. Liu Ligan believes that they still love each other, but they have already Without the ability to love, more than twenty years are not blank. Too many things have happened in more than twenty years, which is enough to gently bury their love.

They are like two mourners, sitting here, thinking about their past, the sunny and shining past.

Liu Ligan remembered what he had said before when they were eating. They really separated while running.

Spring has come, but winter has not passed yet. The nights in the south are cold and humid. Although the air conditioner is turned on, it will automatically shut down for a while if it is turned on for a long time. The living room that they still felt stuffy in front of them has become empty. It makes people feel a little cold.

Huang Meili walked into the room, took out two blankets and gave one to Liu Ligan. The two of them covered their lower bodies with blankets, huddled on the sofa and continued chatting. By the end of the chat, neither of them knew who it was. His body first leaned to the side, fell on the sofa and fell asleep.

When they woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the branches had been soaked by the rain. Many buds had burst out overnight.

Liu Ligan lay there, staring out the window.

"Lao Ma, Lao Ma." Huang Meili called softly, and Liu Li sat up.

"So many rooms are empty, so we just slept on the sofa?" Huang Meili asked, Liu Ligan nodded, and both of them laughed.

In the afternoon, Liu Ligan sent Huang Meili to Pudong International Airport. The two of them seemed to have finished saying everything they needed to say, and there seemed to be more and more words that they could not say. Both of them suddenly suffered from aphasia. Along the way, , neither of the two people spoke.

After arriving at the airport, the two of them were still silent. Liu Ligan accompanied Huang Meili to check in, and walked with her to the security checkpoint in silence.

The security checkpoint at the VIP channel was always empty, no one was queuing up, and two people walked there and stopped.

"I'm leaving, Lao Ma." Huang Meili said.

Liu Ligan said: "Okay, have a safe journey."

Then there was silence again. Huang Meili didn't move forward, and Liu Ligan didn't go back either. The two of them still stood there.

Huang Meili said again that I was leaving.

Liu Ligan said yes.

Neither of them moved.

"Lao Ma, can you hug me?" Huang Meili asked.

Liu Ligan said yes, he stretched out his arms and hugged Huang Meili. Both of them were trembling slightly. Huang Meili turned her head and kissed Liu Ligan. Huang Meili said:

"Lao Ma, I owe you this. I didn't even say goodbye to you properly in Seattle. I know you must be waiting for me."

Both men sobbed softly.
