Autumn Prose in the North

First, lovelorn is like a cold spring.

When the plane landed at Taiping airport, Harbin was welcoming the first snow in spring. Lin An got a tingle, because she came back from the south, wearing only a brown fur-proof coat and letting the cold wind of minus 15 degrees sweep around her.

No sooner had she stepped out of the airport with one foot than her cell phone rang. He is the new editor of the magazine. Lin An has never seen him, but he can recognize a young man's voice. Besides, he speaks at an amazing speed. During the time when she was on the phone, he said many ways and taught her how to find him from a group of people.

Obviously, except for the first sentence "I wear a goose yellow down jacket", everything else is nonsense. Lin An saw him at a glance, because there was no more conspicuous color in the crowd than his clothes.

Are you Gao Yu?

He is indeed a young man, younger than she expected, like a newly graduated intern, short, clean and tidy, with a smiling face, standing out among rude men.

Hello, Miss Lin. He has a good voice.

Don't be so polite. Choose for yourself. Lin An handed him the USB flash drive.

She travels all the year round and likes photography, so she will take some photos regularly to illustrate the magazine. Five hours ago, gaoyu called her to ask for a photo of this magazine, and she asked him to come to the airport to get it.

In the few seconds that Lin An saw him, he took off his goose yellow down jacket and put it on her, and there was a thermos cup that he took out from nowhere and stuffed into her hand. He also said many words of similar concern, but Lin An didn't catch it clearly.

It's just that the warmth of her palms makes her eyes moist.

The boiling water in the thermos cup is still warm, but Lin 'an's lovelorn love is like this late cold spring.

Second, the established breakup.

After returning to Harbin for a week, Lin An never went out once and slept in his room every day. Being in a daze and waking up to drink cold Harbin beer is obviously not good for lovelorn people.

At midnight that day, she woke up from her dream and looked at the empty room and the floor-to-ceiling curtains blown by the wind. She is going to put on a thick coat and stand on the balcony for a while. When she opened the wardrobe, she saw the goose down jacket at a glance, as conspicuous as the rubber duck in Victoria Harbour.

Lin An never thought that the city where she lived for more than 20 years would make her lonely and unable to find someone to talk to. She looked through the phone records, finally looked at the string of unnamed numbers showing recent calls, and then dialed out.

When Gao Yu arrived at her home, it was already 4: 03 in the morning. She just wants to talk to someone and call him in the name of returning clothes. I didn't expect him to run halfway across the city at three or four in the morning.

They were sitting on the balcony chatting, or rather, Gao Yu's personal crosstalk performance. Lin An wondered if there was an automatic player in his stomach.

They talked until the sky turned a fish-belly grey, and Gao Yu patted his ass to go to work. Lin 'an is far from happiness, but at least he is no longer lonely.

There are thousands of excuses to break up in the world, but the way to break up is only three words: break up. Yu Guangyuan is so much.

At that time, Lin An was riding an elephant alone through a virgin forest full of wild flowers in Xishuangbanna. The signal is not good She didn't hear his last reason and ran to his city. But she went back as soon as she got off the plane, because she remembered a sentence she read in a book: all reasons for breaking up are tailor-made excuses for breaking up.

Have you ever been to the world of ice and snow?

Spring in Harbin is very short, and the temperature finally began to rise at the end of March.

Lin 'an once made a high-profile threat that Yu Guangyuan was the destination of her life, so she dared not make public when she went back to Harbin alone, and the only contact became gaoyu.

They often go to food stalls to eat mutton kebabs and drink Harbin beer together, just like brothers in need. Accurately speaking, high fishing is a lifeline of Lin 'an.

After several times, Lin Cai knew that Gao Yu was from the south. His Harbin accent, more authentic than hers, perfectly concealed this fact.

Lin An immediately turned and walked into the night wrapped in a brown coat. She hates southerners.

When I was a child, a southerner moved in next door to her house. The little black boy was bullied by an English boy in the yard, climbed into the garage and cried loudly. Lin 'an can't find his parents. I didn't expect the southern couple to just hide at home with their children. When I came home from school the next day, Lin An heard that their family moved overnight last night. At that time, Lin 'an felt that they had lost the face of China people!

The poor southerner's expression of fear when hiding in the house is rooted in Lin An's memory, so that cowardice has become synonymous with southerners in her impression, so she seldom travels to the south and never associates with southerners. When interacting with people, we should first ask whether the other person is from the south.

At night in Harbin, the temperature is still MINUS 15 degrees. Lin Anwo is watching a movie under the covers. He hasn't contacted Gao Yu for a week.

One night, Gao Yu suddenly came to see her, holding two tickets for the world of ice and snow, saying that he would take her to see the last ice sculpture exhibition in Harbin this year. The 20-meter-long ice screen flat peach carving has become transparent, and the snow water at the bottom keeps flowing into the waterway. Lin 'an feels that the water is like the tears of ice sculpture. This ice and snow has turned into a huge teahouse, full of grievances abandoned by winter.

Gao Yu stood behind her and looked at the tears in her eyes, as if she understood why her eyes were red and swollen after getting off the plane that night. He turned his head and raised his voice, still introducing every ice sculpture to her until the tears in her eyes receded.

Hey! Don't say that. Although I am not familiar with ice sculptures, at least I am from Harbin. Lin An's words are a little weak. Obviously, his Northeast dialect is much smoother than hers.

Haven't you been to the world of ice and snow before? At the end of the home, Gao Yu asked her.

Lin An shook his head after searching for memory.

As a real Harbin native, Lin An has never been to the world of ice and snow, and she began to wonder what she had done with Yu Guangyuan in those years.

Fourth, I like northerners' boldness and love northerners' straightforwardness.

From classmates who haven't contacted for a long time, Lin An knows the news that Yu Guangyuan is getting married.

Standing on the balcony, she looked at the melting snow in the city and had the impulse to plunge into it. Twenty-four years of acquaintance can't compare with the thin shoulders of a southern woman. That woman is a typical southern woman. She won't travel. She would wear an apron to wash and cook for him every day. So this is the kind of person he wants. As it happens, Lin 'an, on the other hand, doesn't like southerners, regardless of gender. She likes northerners' boldness and loves northerners' straightforwardness.

She's bored to death. Call Gao Yu.

Before the phone call was finished, Gao Yu appeared at her door. Lin 'an doesn't know why. When she saw Gao Yu panting, her nose was sore.

Lin An always felt that tears were too artificial, so he was only red-eyed, and even when Yu Guangyuan broke up with her, he didn't take the opportunity to be hypocritical. This time, she didn't hold back and cried heartily, which was totally melodramatic.

Why don't you like southerners? Gao Yu asked.

Southerners are timid, and I like the indomitable spirit of men in Northeast China!

Five, lovelorn is to find a better person.

Lin An didn't expect Yu Guangyuan to call her.

When he asked her if she was in Harbin, she said "no" decisively and hung up the phone. After that cry, I seem to be really getting better. I haven't lost sleep any more, and I haven't counted the streets I walked with him.

In the evening, Gao Yu came to her with a sample magazine. She found that her photos took up two pages, and each photo was accompanied by a sentence. She was so happy that she almost forgot all her unpleasantness and generously said that she would invite gaoyu to dinner. They sat in the usual food stalls and walked along the streets full of sugar maples after satiated with food and wine.

Suddenly, Lin An stopped.

I never told you. Actually, when you first met me, I was just lovelorn. Gao Yu didn't expect that she would suddenly say this.

Actually, you've seen it. She continued.

Being lovelorn is to find a better person, such as a good man like me. Gao Yu looks like he needs a beating.

Bah! Poor, Lin 'an was amused by him. They talked and laughed all the way, and when they reached her door, Lin An looked dignified again.

Gao Yu, I'm going to have a long lovelorn journey.

You really don't remember the world of ice and snow in 2005? Gaoyu irrelevant answer for the first time.

I am willing to accompany you on the road.

This time, Lin 'an went to the south, Jiangnan, Wuzhen, Xitang and Zhouzhuang, all of which she never planned to visit in her life.

She will still take many photos, send them to Gao Yu, and then receive samples from him. Every time she wants to call him, he does. She laughs at him on the phone, just like a worm in her stomach. On the phone, they discussed which is more beautiful, Wuzhen or Xitang, the humid weather in the south and the mild mountains and green waters.

But one day, Gao Yu's office phone suddenly broke down, and even his mobile phone stopped. Call the front desk of the magazine, and the person there said he resigned.

For half a month, Lin An couldn't contact him. When she was going back to Harbin, she received a package from him. At this time, she is watching cherry blossoms on Sakura Avenue in Wuhan. The illustration of the new sample magazine shows her photos of Xiamen coast and staggered fishing boats, and one of them is accompanied by a sentence: I am willing to accompany you all the time.

Lin An looked at this sentence and laughed cuttlefish disorderly fibrillation.

Autumn in Karamay is still colorful.

But after that sentence, Gao Yu was like a typhoon crossing the border, and there was no news anymore.

Lin An never told Gao Yu. After he left Harbin, he often thought of him, even dreamed of him, but seldom thought of Yu Guangyuan. She finally understood that a person's cowardice has nothing to do with the region at all, and the southerners she contacted were modest, polite and gentle.

And that sentence, Lin An don't know whether to say to her. Until one day, she met a man at Karamay airport. He dressed up as a local tour guide with a clean face and a bright smile.

Welcome to Karamay, I'm your guide Gao Yu.

She doesn't know why he came to Karamay.

However, at this moment, she felt that he was a hundred times braver and handsome than all northern men.

She rushed over and hugged him without hesitation.

I've been waiting for you to remember, but your memory is really poor. Gao Yu took out an old yellow photo from his bag. A girl with short hair, laughing her head off.

In 2005, Gao Yu, a sophomore, traveled to Harbin. At the gate of the world of ice and snow, a girl with short hair asked him to take pictures.

That's seventeen-year-old Lin An.

At this moment, Lin An suddenly understood that although lovelorn is a cold spring, it will soon be the beginning of warmth.

It's like autumn in Karamay is still colorful.
