At four o'clock in the afternoon that day, Ban Xia went out early.

Carrying her bag and pushing her bicycle, she leisurely stepped out of the gate of the community and walked in the knee-high grass.

The girl was distraught.

It's really strange. She was still excited and excited until she just came downstairs. But as she approached the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street step by step, and as the time approached six o'clock every minute, Banxia's heart actually beat faster and faster.

It's coming faster and faster, and I'm getting more and more nervous.

Will they come? How many people will come?

One? Two? Three?

What do they look like? Do they look like Daniel Wu, Eddie Peng or Tom Cruise?

Is it easy to deal with?

How should I say hello when we meet later?

While Banxia was pushing the car, she imagined that there was someone in front of her. She waved in the air, simulating what might happen later:

"Hello, hello! I am Banxia! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

No, the girl frowned, not dignified enough.

So why not hold your fist?

"Brothers, I have been waiting for you for a long time in the second half of summer."

That's not right either. Banxia shook her head and said nothing humanly.

The tattered mountain bike made a rattling sound, and Banxia walked alone in the middle of the road. The hardened asphalt road was easier to walk on than the sidewalk. The sidewalk had long been overgrown with weeds, and there might be some grass in the grass.

snake.

She kicked the cracked cow dung away from the road with her feet. The cow dung broke into small balls and rolled into the grass on the roadside.

It only takes ten minutes to walk from the community gate of Meihua Villa to the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street. On both sides of the wide road of Zhongshanmen Street are French plane trees as thick as an adult’s arms. No one has taken care of them for so many years. There are almost 200 fallen leaves accumulated on the road.

It's as deep as your knees, and when you step on it, the bottom is filled with black mud made from rotten sycamore leaves.

Banxia pushed her bicycle across the road and stood opposite the intersection.

This is a location with an excellent view. Looking to the left is the direction of Purple Mountain, to the right is the direction of Xuanwu Bay, and directly opposite is the deserted Alfalfa Garden Street.

He took out his pocket watch from his backpack and looked at the time, four twenty.

There's still an hour and forty minutes until six o'clock.

The girl took a deep breath. The air was filled with the smell of fallen leaves and earth. She looked down at her feet and then looked up at the leafy French plane trees. The dim sunlight penetrated the layers of plane trees and fell on the Pinellia ternata.

on the shoulders.

She hummed softly.

In the distance, a sika deer was crossing the road with its cubs. It noticed someone appearing in its field of vision. The thin white shadow stood on the side of the road, standing under the highway viaduct, with a tall and straight body and a long neck, like a deer.

Egret, but it didn't know why she remained motionless for a long time.

When the wind blows, the leaves on the crown of the tree rustle, and the tiny spots of light on the girl's body are like ripples.

Quadratic functions are truly the enemy of life.

When Bai Yang completed the last quadratic function question on the mock test paper, it was already 5:50 pm.

Looking at the time, Bai Yangxin said, "It's too late. The Five-Year and Three-Year College Entrance Examination Simulation" has mistaken me! He grabbed the phone on the table and rushed out of the room, hurriedly going to the entrance to change his shoes.

"Yang, are you done with the paper?" Mom asked in the room.

"It's done! I'm going out. It's almost six o'clock. It's too late if I don't leave!" Bai Yang shouted as he pulled on his sneakers and stamped his feet vigorously, "I won't go home for dinner tonight!"

He had to treat the other party to a meal no matter what, and he couldn't let the girl's trip go to waste.

"Come back soon——!"

"knew!"

Bai Yang hurried out and ran downstairs.

From the gate of Meihuashanzhuang Community to the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street, passers-by occasionally looked sideways at this young man who was sweating profusely and ran as if his butt was on fire.

Bai Yang held on to the traffic light pole at the intersection and gasped for air, then raised his head and looked around.

Pedestrians come and go on Zhongshanmen Street, especially at intersections with viaducts. All kinds of people, men, women, old and young, walking, riding bicycles, riding electric cars, come and go from all directions.

A large group of people were crowded on this side of the zebra crossing, waiting for the traffic light. It was a noisy and chaotic scene.

Bai Yang stood on the sidewalk, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was exactly six o'clock. Fortunately, he was not late.

It was already dark at six o'clock in the afternoon, and all the cars on the road turned on their headlights. Bai Yang stretched his neck and looked hard. He was looking for the girl, the one wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, carrying a black backpack, pushing the mountain

Girl with ponytail in car.

There are many girls wearing white shirts.

There are also many girls wearing blue jeans.

There are also girls wearing black backpacks.

There is also a sister pushing a bicycle.

But if you fuse them into one person, Baiyang can't find it.

Could it be that it hasn’t arrived yet?

Bai Yang thought for a while.

Then just stand here and wait for her.

The red light turned green, and the crowds of people waiting for the traffic lights on both sides of the road started to move at the same time, criss-crossing the road, and passing Bai Yang one after another.

Half a minute later, the green light turned red, and a minute later, the red light turned green again. Crowds gathered and dispersed on both sides of the road. Only Bai Yang stood motionless, nailed in place like a nail. The crowd separated left and right in front of him.

Bai Yang stood under the traffic light, scanning the crowd one by one, but couldn't find anyone who met the requirements.

He regretted not leaving any contact information. He could just call or say something on WeChat when the time came. Why wait? But then he thought about it, and it was outrageous that the girl didn't even have a mobile phone number.

"Sister, where are you?"

Bai Yang sighed and looked at his phone again. It was half past six.

Could it be that there is a traffic jam during rush hour?

That's also possible.

But don’t you know how to take the subway?

If she takes the subway, she might come from the direction of the Alfalfa Garden subway station.

Bai Yang looked towards the direction of the subway station and saw the city and the streets were brightly lit at night, with cars flowing continuously. Half of the people in the city were going home and half of the people were going out. He hoped that a young girl would appear next to him.

In the field of vision, the man was carrying a black backpack, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, pushing a bicycle.

The night is getting darker and darker.

Banxia glanced at her pocket watch and saw that it was already half past seven in the evening. She waited here for three hours until both moons had risen.

But until now, no second person has appeared.

The teacher told her not to go out at night. Today was Banxia's first violation of the teacher's rules. In order to contact other survivors, she didn't care so much.

But the other party broke the appointment.

why is that?

Could it be that we encountered some danger?

Banxia was very worried. She was worried that the other party would encounter something unexpected on the way to the appointment, but she did not dare to leave here, fearing that she would miss the other party after leaving.

The bicycle was leaning against the trunk of the French plane tree. The night was dark but the moonlight was very bright. Something was howling faintly in the distance. The girl was tired from standing, so she slowly squatted down with her bow and arrow in hand, and squatted under the thick pillars of the viaduct.

She had never stayed outside so late before, and now she was a little frightened. Banxia stared at the road under the moonlight from a distance.

"Why don't you come to see me..."

On this day, at the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street and Alfalfa Street, Banxia did not wait for the person who was supposed to make the appointment.

That little shadow squatted in the dark night, tapping its fingers gently on the floor tiles every second, and time passed in the entire universe and in her heart.

This is Qinhuai District, Nanjing City.

Today is September 8, 2040.

"Hello? Mom? Okay, okay, I'll go home right away. I know it's half past eight. I know..."

"Human? No, nothing. She didn't come at all, so she let me go."

"I waited stupidly at the intersection for two and a half hours...for food? No food, no food."

"Is there any dinner at home? OK, OK, I'll go home right away, go home right away."

Bai Yang hung up the phone.

He leaned against the streetlight and scratched his head.

If He Leqin, Yan Zhihan and others knew about this, they would definitely laugh to death.

What's the point of being called out and waiting on the road for two and a half hours, only to be let go?

"Bai Yang, Bai Yang, you are so stupid."

Bai Yang poked the lamppost hard.

"Go home! Go home now! We have to go to school tomorrow!"

He stomped on the sidewalk tiles as if to vent his anger.

On this day, Bai Yang didn't see the person he was waiting for at the intersection of Alfalfa Garden Street and Zhongshanmen Street.

He returned along the way he came, and his back gradually disappeared into the lights of the city.

This is Qinhuai District, Nanjing City.
