Following the signs in the subway station, Shao Xiangyu easily found the location of the bank.

When planning, designers always put buildings with the same attributes together to form a functional block. For example, on a bustling commercial street, there must be another bank near the bank, such as Citigroup, Switzerland, HSBC, etc. into one piece.

International banks in China are always built with a unique bureaucratic flavor.The majestic gate, the all-marble floor, the majestic and magnificent hall supported by giant pillars...

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor reflects the grade of the building site to the greatest extent.

Shao Xiangyu straightened his neckline, recalled the young man on the subway just now, and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

There are so many people in City S, and there are many people with poor sense of direction. It is estimated that one out of ten people can't tell who is right. The world is so big, it is impossible for the transfer students back then to stay in this empty and flashy city, and it is such a coincidence. Let me meet myself on the first day back home.

Therefore, he quickly denied his groundless speculation.

Because he came early, Shao Xiangyu completed relevant procedures such as foreign exchange transfer in less than an hour.

He exchanged some cash, and got a domestic credit card with a high overdraft under the condition of savings and job guarantee.

At noon, Shao Xiangyu turned into a nearby European restaurant casually.

The restaurant intentionally creates an ambiguous atmosphere. Even though the sun is shining brightly outside, the inside is dark with candlelight.

Most of the people sitting inside were foreigners, and most of them were couples. Even the waiters spoke very fluent English, which gave Shao Xiangyu the illusion that he was still abroad.

He sat in a high chair by the window and ordered a mint cocktail.

It's obviously not at night, and he doesn't need to play the role of a nobleman who is out of love and goes out to seek an affair. Drinking cocktails or something, there is really no mood at all.

Shao Xiangyu sighed, he clearly knew why he made such a series of actions without thinking.

After graduating from high school, he went to a famous American school. In order to pursue the etiquette and elegance of the upper class, he frequently went out and out of social places with his classmates.Those people are either rich or noble, or they are princes and daughters.

Young vanity blinded his eyes, and one year Shao Xiangyu even fell in love with this luxurious life.You must wear a suit that costs tens of thousands of dollars, and you must order strong vodka or brandy in the wine shop. You can smell the perfume brand on their necks as soon as the ladies approach, and praise them gracefully: "XX perfume makes you smell Quite charming, can I order you a Bailey's?"

……

The inferior aura brought by illusory glory and the illusion of happiness, Shao Xiangyu used to think that living this kind of life for a lifetime is the success of life.

If you force yourself to stylized these so-called "nobility" and "status" for two or three years, then achieving Shao Xiangyu's level is only a matter of course.

It wasn't until he entered the society, went through work, met people outside the world, and saw the sky beyond the sky, that Shao Xiangyu suddenly realized how deeply he had misread the meaning of success when he was superficial.

But now, in the hometown where I grew up, what is it to sit in an exotic restaurant and drink cocktails in the afternoon?

Shao Xiangyu will mercilessly summarize his behavior: hopeless habitual pretentiousness.

To be honest, vanity is common among all Chinese people. It is a kind of excessive self-esteem manifested in order to attract the attention of others, whether it is deep or shallow, it is inevitable.

Perhaps because of vanity, whenever Shao Xiangyu thinks of his elementary school classmates, the names of Xia Tong, Zhang Yuechuan, Zhao Xufeng and others always come to his mind immediately.That was the entertainment committee member of the class, the monitor, and an activist on the subway who claimed to be the "King of the Golden Wheel".

At this moment, Shao Xiangyu became concerned about that little transfer student again.

Why can't you remember him?It seems that it is not because he was born with no sense of presence, but because he has never deliberately expressed himself in public.

The thin and quiet boy was not tall, with a slap-sized face hidden under his long bangs, Shao Xiangyu couldn't even remember his appearance.

Back then, boys with hedgehog hair were a symbol of handsomeness, so [-]% to [-]% of the boys in the school had the same hairstyle, all of them were little hedgehogs.

The rest, of course, are outdated, unremarkable, and negligible.

The positions in the elementary school class are arranged according to the student number. The transfer student replaced the student number of a repeater and sat in the upper left corner of Shao Xiangyu across the aisle.He was wearing an ill-fitting school uniform. The shirt and coat were too big, and the trousers had to be rolled up a few times, but they were clean.

Loose clothes do not reflect his height, but make him even thinner, and his thin arms and legs will fall down in the wind.

He likes science class the most, he is full of energy and his back is straight, but when it comes to Chinese class, he droops his head and dozes off with his neck shaking.In English class, he often misses out. The most common thing he does is to tear small pieces of paper. He is so patient that he can tear the pieces of paper into powder and pile them into a pile of millet.

Once in class, the English teacher wore a short skirt. When he passed by the skirt, the skirt brought a breeze, causing the paper foam to fly instantly. A little snow fell on his desk, and his arms fluttered around the table. , for fear that the paper foam would fly away...

After recalling for a long time, Shao Xiangyu was shocked to find that, except for the other person's face and name, those details that he thought were vague were so clear and vivid!

Not only that, he even felt that his mood at the moment was like a guitar song in spring, crisp and warm.Like recalling childhood autumn outings on the subway, even the soul couldn't help but want to fly out of the body and float to the distance to watch.

……

After taking a sip of his wine, Shao Xiangyu took out his phone.

Their elementary school is the best in that area, together with the junior high school and high school, they are all directly affiliated to F University, a famous national school.From elementary school to junior high school, most of my classmates are still around, including the transfer student.

During the senior high school entrance examination, Shao Xiangyu was recommended to our school.During the hard preparation of other students for the exam, he obtained the exchange qualification with the American Friendship High School. When he came back three months later, everyone had gone to different places, and even the class reunion was over.

There was a little regret in my heart, I couldn't tell what it was like at the time, I only vaguely remembered the anxious mood, and when I saw that person on the campus of the high school affiliated to F University, I calmed down.

Shao Xiangyu was sure that he was also admitted to this school, but because he was in a different class, he had only met him a few times.

The finger slides to the name of "Zhang Yuechuan". This elementary school class monitor went to the capital after the college entrance examination, and entered the capital of higher education in China.

It has been ten years since he graduated, this is the first time Shao Xiangyu called him, but I don't know if the other party has changed the number——

"Hello, who are you?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhang Yuechuan?" Shao Xiangyu was always very polite when he was not sure whether the other party was himself.

"It's me, are you...?"

Shao Xiangyu frowned and said, "Zhang Yuechuan, I'm Shao Xiangyu."
