South of Chutian

In the past six years, Hanyang University does not seem to have changed much.Indeed, for a century-old school, six years is really not a long period of time.

However, the Lingbo Gate had been repaired. Tang Heng and Li Yuechi mingled among the students, stepped out of the Lingbo Gate, and met the rippling lake water.The trestle bridge extends from the shore to the lake, forming a thin "Hui" character. Many students and tourists stand on the bridge to take pictures.

The weather is so nice.Under the blue sky so clear that there are no clouds, there is the mighty East Lake.The lake water presents a blue color slightly darker than the sky, somewhat like sea water.

Several girls in Hanfu stood side by side on the trestle, and a boy raised his camera to take pictures of them.

Beside them, a couple sat on the ground, the girl's calf dangling in the air.

Tang Heng said with some emotion: "It has become so lively."

Li Yuechi also said: "It seems that there were not many students here before."

"Well, I heard it was haunted when I was an undergraduate, and the counselor told us not to wander around the lake."

"Haunted?" Li Yuechi asked curiously, "Why?"

"It is said that there were students who couldn't think about it before and jumped into the lake here..." Tang Heng recalled the rumors he had heard at the time, "Then someone passed by here at night and saw a figure standing by the lake, motionless."

"..."

"However, there were not even a few street lights here before, so it really has a haunted atmosphere."

"Tang Heng."

"Ok?"

Li Yuechi pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "The person who bumped into ghosts didn't see us, did he?"

Tang Heng was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.Really, back then he and Li Yuechi often dated here, and they chose nights especially to make sure that it was quiet and nobody would do anything without fear of being seen.

It would be even better if there was another rain at night—they could hold a big umbrella, which completely covered them, as if the world had shrunk so small that it could only accommodate the two of them. people.

Tang Heng was distracted when he suddenly heard an exclamation: "Hey!"

Hearing the sound, it turned out that the mobile phone of the boy who took the photo fell out. The white iPhone fell dangerously on the edge of the trestle. If it was more than a few centimeters, it would definitely fall into the lake.

The girl with the silver hairpin picked up the phone and complained very affectionately: "Don't put the phone in your pocket, look...you scared me to death."

The boy smiled naively: "That's just a new phone."

The girl straightened the hem of the Hanfu skirt and repositioned herself.The boy took several photos of her, and then they picked up their bags and walked to the corner of the trestle ahead to start taking the next group of photos.

Li Yuechi touched Tang Heng's arm: "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Heng said, "I'm fine."

He was embarrassed to admit that at that moment just now, his legs were a little weak.

That little white iPhone was really similar to a certain Samsung he had bought, even the muffled sound when it hit the ground, the only difference was that his Samsung was not so lucky.Under the night, the Yangtze River was pitch black, flowing slowly into an endless distance, and he didn't know where his mobile phone would drift, or where it would sink to the bottom.

Tang Heng suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Li Yuechi and asked tentatively, "Where did you find those photos of Tian Xiaoqin?"

But the moment Tang Heng asked this sentence, he began to regret it again. Maybe Li Yuechi saved those photos six years ago?All you need is a USB flash drive, after all those photos are too important.As for the cell phone—does Li Yuechi keep a six-year-old cell phone?In other words, after six years, can the phone still be turned on?

"The photo is on my phone."

"...Which phone?"

"You gave it to me, don't you remember?" Li Yuechi said calmly, "You used the Nokia."

That's right, Nokia.Who would have thought that six years later, the once giant mobile phone brand would have disappeared from the market.

Tang Heng's Adam's apple twitched: "You still keep it?"

"Otherwise," Li Yuechi said softly, "That cell phone is in the store in the county seat, so you didn't find it last time."

"..."

As if everything was clear in his heart, Li Yuechi lowered his head slightly: "What else do you want to ask?"

"Then, those text messages I sent you..."

"It's all there."

"Really?"

"I'm back in Guizhou and I'll show you."

"Oh," Tang Heng was a little dazed, "OK."

"What were you nervous about?"

"I'm not nervous."

"Afraid I'd throw my phone in the river?"

"Li Yuechi—"

"Don't be afraid," Li Yuechi suddenly raised his hand, and lightly hooked Tang Heng's shoulder, "Just say what you want."

Tang Heng was silent for two seconds, then whispered, "Don't blame me."

Li Yuechi said, "I don't blame you."

"I lost my mobile phone, which is...the one with the text message you sent, the white Samsung."

"Ah."

"I didn't do it on purpose." Tang Heng took a deep breath, and the dark, murmuring river seemed to reappear in front of his eyes, "One night I walked across the Yangtze River Bridge... At that time, I was obviously holding my mobile phone, and I don't know why , and it fell."

You know, the Yangtze River Bridge is very, very high.

So can you imagine, Li Yuechi?The mobile phone first hit the blue-gray ground with a muffled sound, and then it bounced a little—just like that, it didn't even make an arc, and it fell straight into the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River Bridge is so high that you can't even hear the sound of entering the water after it falls.

If it was an artificial lake, no, even if it was a small flowing river, Tang Heng would definitely be able to fish it up.

But that is the Yangtze River.

To this day, Tang Heng can no longer remember the mood at that time, eagerness, anxiety, pain?Can't really remember.I just remembered that I was staring at the river in a daze, and I had a hunch that a part of his body and a part of his memory stayed in Wuhan in this way.

At that time, he had already decided to study in England, and of course, he also decided to leave the city.

And this rough and chaotic city, as if it was very reluctant to part with him, used this desperate way to keep him.

"I really didn't mean to. Then I thought, maybe it's because I put a shell on it, it's a very soft silicone shell-so it bounced when it fell on the ground, if it didn't bounce, it wouldn't It's going to fall. If I put it on a plastic case, maybe it won't pop up?"

Li Yuechi's expression was momentarily blank.

Then he shook Tang Heng's hand quickly.

"I know you didn't do it on purpose," he said softly, "If you drop it, you drop it, and you can make it up later."

"How to make up for it?"

"Send you a new one."

Li Yuechi took out his mobile phone, stepped forward suddenly, and patted the boy in the couple: "Student, can you take a photo for us?"

"Okay," the boy said enthusiastically, "Come here, it's the most suitable place."

So Li Yuechi and Tang Heng stood at the end of the trestle bridge. Tang Heng wanted to hold Li Yuechi's hand, but he was embarrassed in front of his juniors.In the end, the two just stood shoulder to shoulder, but their arms stuck together, and there was still an indescribable intimacy.

Li Yuechi took the phone, thanked the boy, and said, "Let's go, the boss's beef noodles should be ready."

It was rush hour when I returned to the hotel, and the subway was so crowded that the two of them were squeezed away and stood at one end of the window.Tang Heng took out his mobile phone and was about to send Jiang Ya a WeChat message, telling them not to have dinner.

Turn on the screen, and suddenly saw a text message from Li Yuechi, 5 minutes ago.

The text message only has four words: see my WeChat.

So Tang Heng clicked on his WeChat avatar.

The background of the circle of friends, which was originally blank, was replaced.

On the screen, he and Li Yuechi didn't smile very much, and because the situation of taking a photo together was so unfamiliar, their faces were a little reserved.But fortunately, the sun was shining and the sky was blue. Behind them, there was a vast expanse of blue waves, and the lake and mountains were of the same color.

Tang Heng replied to his text message: "It was a good shot."

Li Yuechi: "It should be with your arms around you."

Tang Heng: "I'm afraid I will scare my juniors and younger sisters."

Li Yuechi: "Just put an arm around your shoulders, you can't tell."

Tang Heng: "Didn't you see his girlfriend laughing all the time?"

Li Yuechi: "What are you laughing at?"

Tang Heng: "I don't know, the smile is kind of weird anyway."

Li Yuechi: "..."

Tang Heng: "Use WeChat."

Li Yuechi: "Afraid that I don't have enough phone bills?"

Tang Heng wanted to say that it wasn't because he was afraid that you wouldn't have enough money, but he felt that this was a bit... naive.

However, before he could reply, another text message from Li Yuechi came:

"It's okay, just save your smoking money and recharge my phone bill."

Tang Heng: "..."

Li Yuechi: "It was me before, now it's your turn."

Why is this person kidnapped morally?

Tang Heng raised his eyes and looked forward, meeting Li Yuechi's gaze.A few black heads away, Li Yuechi blinked at him, and slightly bent the corners of his mouth.

A few seconds later, Tang Heng lowered his head, and text message replied: "Okay."
