Good evening, dear.

? Because of my work, I had the cheek to postpone the manuscript I promised before until the beginning of June. That day, I finally had time. After work, I went to study in the evening and ordered a cup of coffee.

June is the exam month, and the final exams of senior high school entrance examination, college entrance examination and grading examination are clustered together. Next to them were some students who stayed up late to study by themselves, all pale and anxious. Small evening self-study is busy with all kinds of things, but it is a variety of life.

I noticed the little girl only because she was about the same age as those children, but she turned her back and sat down leisurely. I get up lazily, go to the Japanese literature section every night to pick a book, and I can finish it in one or two nights, and then another one, and so on. I've been here for a few days, and that's about it.

The day of the college entrance examination is also such a gesture, which makes people even more strange.

It was the first Monday after the college entrance examination. I first saw her waiter dressed in this shop, with a black shirt and curly hair, which made her look very energetic.

"Hello, can I help you?" The little girl is full of energy and slightly nervous. When I pushed the door and came in, she poked at the older waiter beside her, and then she just leaned slightly and smiled with the right voice.

I gave her a soothing smile, ordered a cup of blue mountain and sat in the old place. Maybe that day was a little different. Knowing many experienced employees, the little girl has a youthful campus atmosphere, as if she had infected everyone with enthusiasm and vitality. It doesn't matter if I'm young, but have I started to feel the time since I passed?

I was a little shocked when she came to change the cups on the table. I looked up at her. The long, relaxed, delicate and cheerful eyebrows in the distant mountains came into view, bringing a touch of touch. I just made a slight gesture and staggered my eyes. The slight mind that had just been disturbed was replaced by a refreshing comfort on the table.

She didn't stay long and obviously knew her behavior. She nodded slightly and walked away quietly.

It's almost zero, and the study is closing. I put a bookmark on it and put the book back. After packing, go back as usual. The apartment is not far, and I walk back every night.

"Over the mountain, although it is bald, chatter, time and tide wait for no man, and sorrow. I haven't seen eternal life as I wish, so I lost myself first ... "The wandering singer with guitar is very loud, and Jonathan Lee's" The Hill "seems a little sad on a cold night in June. I stopped to listen to the whole song, put down the paper money and turned away.

"Brother, do you like this song too?" A clear and flashing voice came from the side.

"His voice condition is very good, and the song he chose is very suitable. Why haven't you come home yet? " I turned to look at her, slender and thin figure, white shirt, black knee-length skirt, black shell bag slung sideways, delicate and delicate. Probably someone you can see in the study every night, so I'm not too strange.

But after all, he is still a child and his speech is full of childishness.

The distance between peers is not long, but it is enough to explain my doubts. A good girl in high school applied for a scholarship to Keio University in Tokyo early for her favorite idol, and there was no pressure for further study.

Obviously, he is a clever boy, who can speak Japanese and English, and has strong understanding and communication skills.

? If she had the same conditions, maybe the ending would be different.

"Shen Dage, goodbye! I want to go this way! " I pulled back my thoughts and saw that I had reached the intersection. This girl named Susie said goodbye to me. I packed my trance-like thoughts and said goodbye to her with a smile.

Watching her fade away and disappear under the street lamp, I turned and walked to the other side.

"After the guests order coffee, you can make a proper noodle sale if you can. For example, do you want to go with cheesecake, so it will taste better! "

"If the customer doesn't ask for it, it means no need. Such forced sales will make customers unhappy! "

Attracted by the weak voice, I looked up and saw her walking side by side with another older waiter with a tray, and her tone was obviously incomprehensible.

I rolled my eyes and picked up the coffee that had been left out for a long time in front of me. I took a sip, and the topic dropped.

"It would be nice to be so quiet and meet the needs of the guests."

"You can't ..."

I smiled at her stubborn tone. She can experience a small society different from her school here. Of course, in addition to the achievements at work, there are also communication and even contradictions between people.

I shook my head and expressed helplessness at my behavior. How long has she been away? Every familiar picture will attract her attention.

"Excuse me, do you mind adding someone here? Because there are many people at night, the guests don't have enough places to read. Would you like to share a year's place with your partners around you? "

I saw a pair of young people who occupied two benches laughing and making room for others.

"... well, I'll tell you a story. In the cold waters near Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, otters swim together to keep warm. Do you know that?/You know what? The newborn otter will lie on her mother's stomach because of her weak vitality, and her mother will take her baby backstroke across the river ... "

A child who failed in the college entrance examination and felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night left with a slight smile and said goodbye to her.

……

The more you pay attention to it, the more you will find. Although she is the most sleepy in the middle of the night, she is not tired, quick and gentle. She has always maintained an extremely enthusiastic, interesting and strong attitude. Maybe she is an attractive girl herself.

There is still half an hour before the end of the day.

As usual, she got off work half an hour early to sort out books, and met several times when she returned them. It seems that I have been trained too much today. My little girl is obviously impatient, and she keeps gossiping when she comes and goes alone.

"Seven dead people, didn't you close the door early? Pour out so much ... I'm not the Monkey King ... "

"How can a book designed by Britain be put together with a book designed by Mu Xin? It is not a category at all. Hum, don't let me tidy up, then how can others find the book they want ... and say that I ... "

"Look, Keigo Higashino's New Participant should be put together with those fashionable design books, but it should be on the side of Japanese literature. How is it possible not to tidy up? It always says I ... "

I stood by the bookshelf of Japanese literature, listening to the thoughts getting closer and closer, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Shen Dage, you didn't leave either?" She raised her hand and inserted the new participant into the bookcase. She greeted me when she heard the sound of failure.

I put away my smile. "Well, it's interesting that someone gossips. I have been listening in the corner for a long time, and I haven't had time to leave. " I seldom tease her.

She shrugged her shoulders and made a face at me, without any embarrassment of being found speaking ill.

"I tell you, you don't tell others, seven elder sister, oh, that's with my elder sister, feeling a little different. I think it will be more comfortable from the customer's point of view. Isn't this the original intention of evening self-study? Enthusiasm in marketing will only make people more disgusted ... "

? As she spoke, she put the book away, her voice was clear, her movements were agile, and she was familiar with it as if she were doing something she had been used to for many years.

Listening to her talking to me, the right hand I was looking for stopped and took a book with me. She didn't look at me and whispered.

Once again, watching her little figure shake in the dim light, the confusion of time came to my mind again, and the faded wound in my heart slowly began to hurt. I thought I had forgotten, but when deja vu appeared, I found that I had been asking for it. I want to reach for something, but reason tells me that she doesn't exist here.

"Shen Che, let's break up, give each other a chance, let go together and make friends in the future. You know, we ... are not suitable. "

Same scene, same time, different experiences. I remember every word she said. Yes, let go of her sky and her hands. Better set her free.

Grab the spine of the book hard, and cold sweat pours from your hands.

"The summer vacation after the college entrance examination is the longest and most carefree time in life. How can you come here if you don't go on a graduation trip? " I found that I hadn't responded to her for a long time, so I changed the subject and wanted to get myself back.

"I'm going to study in Japan soon. Changing the environment has been a long journey. Ok ... I'm thinking that at this time, staying here may be more meaningful than traveling. Just like meeting everyone, just like learning to live. " It's still the naughty tone when you spoke just now, but there is a serious firmness in your speech.

"It seems that Xiaoxi has more ideas!" I pretended to calmly put back the Rashomon that I had held in my hand for a long time.

This warm friendship lasted day after day.

She won't talk to me at work, make eye contact, just nod and say hello and leave. But she leaves work half an hour early every night to sort out books, calm and pious, as if completing a task.

Since then, it seems to be a coincidence to listen to the wandering singers singing together. The little girl seems to know a lot. She knows many things. When I bring up a topic, she can talk about it all the time.

My favorite literary genre, my Japanese translation, and my favorite songs all seem to have something in common, and we can talk unexpectedly.

The deeper I get to know Susie, the more I find that Susie is nothing like her, but maybe it's just her youth, lingering youth and frivolity.

More than two months passed quickly, just like many previous two months, and passed peacefully without trace. However, there are some differences. I look forward to staying in the study until late at night every day. There used to be a little girl named Susie.

The end of more than two months means that the little girl is leaving. Even so, unscrupulous youth is still displayed incisively and vividly. Yingying Yanyan didn't leave, didn't say goodbye.

On that day, this late-night study began to provide free supper for guests. When Su Xi came out with a plate, she glanced at the seventh sister next to her. "Can I eat?"

It's nothing, but that woman named Aqi stinks and throws a sentence, "Give the guests food first, understand?" Tiramisu, eat something! "

I don't know why, Susie, who has always been gentle, put the plate on the nearest table, took off her apron and waved it: "What's the big deal, I quit!" " "

A few minutes later, I changed back to casual clothes and ran across from me.

"Hum, I have to go, and I don't know to keep me. Brother Shen, you say, is Sister Qi a cold-blooded animal ... "She crossed her hands and leaned back on the sofa like a naughty boy, and her hair seemed to be moved by the situation.

"If you don't want to say, just say it. You don't say anything, so you regret it ... "I took off my glasses and put down the material.

Actually, I haven't looked into it since I talked to her.

When the little girl said she was leaving, she struggled inexplicably. She wanted to say that she couldn't bear to part with her, but once she passed her mind, it was like electricity ... she turned a corner.

Being exposed, she is no longer as domineering as just now.

"Brother Shen, you are so smart ... Haha, I just want to let Sister Qi remember me, otherwise what should I do if she leaves and forgets me?"

It's leaving again. I don't know if it was intentional. My little girl seems to insist on leaving. Every time she says she wants to leave, I feel uncomfortable.

After sitting for a long time, she couldn't help but run to the bookshelf and start sorting out books. She was very busy.

Separation is inevitable, but I didn't expect Susie to leave with me without saying a word of separation to the people in the shop.

Walk slowly, as if there is no end. We are still talking and laughing as usual, but it seems a little different. Just like the road we are taking, it has always been a straight road, but when we come to the fork in the road, we will say goodbye.

"Shen Dage, goodbye! I'm going to Japan in two days. My mother said get used to it early. Haha, is this a trip? " She stood at the first street lamp on the street corner and looked at me, smiling at me, her eyes shining like clear spring water.

In hindsight, I suddenly felt that something familiar was about to slip away before I could catch it.

"Then you should take care of yourself when you arrive, and don't let your parents worry." I tried to control the hand that wanted to touch Susie's head and pulled up a smiling face to say goodbye to her.

"Then I'll go first. Brother Shen take care."

Waving goodbye is as natural as saying goodbye at this intersection for the first time. However, when did this daily expectation see her develop?

Late at night in summer, the wind blew into my neck, and I felt a chill running down my spinal cord. I can't help laughing at myself. I won't see you again. It doesn't matter.

After reading the information for a long time, I rubbed my temples and saw the book I accidentally brought, which was given by Susie when she left. Susie has been gone for nearly a week, and her mood is much clearer when she thinks of her naughty tone. I took the book and opened the title page, and a piece of manuscript paper came into view.

Dear archer:

Hello!

I'm Susie, and Sue is Sue from Sumatra. Yes, it's Sumatra, where cat poop coffee is the most expensive, with history in the west and history in the west. The stone in Sumatra, alas, seems to be off course, haha. ...

I don't know whether to call you archer or not! I've known you for four years, four years. Ah, that's a long time. Do you mind calling you Ache? I can't hear you anyway.

You must be wondering why you have known me for four years.

? Remember June 10 four years ago?

I must remember it deeply. That day, in a late-night study, in a Japanese literature class, the girl said:

Shen Che, let's break up, give each other a chance, let go together and be friends in the future. You know, none of us ... are suitable.

Actually, I was next to the bookshelf behind you. I saw that you didn't explain a word and didn't move. You watched the girl walk away slowly, standing in the same place like a sculpture. After a long time, she walked slowly to the bookshelf and took out a book to read.

I was surprised at the time. I wonder, what's wrong with this man? According to the plot inherent in TV series, isn't it shameless for boys to ask their girlfriends to change their minds? At least there is a reaction, what bridge is this ... So, I succeeded in eyeing you, when I was in grade three.

Actually think about it, just to be closer to the study, just to see you every day, I am here, this study and you spent the most important youth with me here.

I know you very well.

You like to come to the study at 8: 05 on time, you like to sit by the second window of the study, you like to return books and buy books half an hour before work, you like to drink blue mountain coffee, and you like to read them by the bookshelf in the penultimate row after borrowing them. I think the light there is very good, because when I stand there, I feel nothing but good light ... I also know that you like to wear Armani shirts and feel that you are so extravagant. You also like to roll up your right sleeve instead of your left sleeve ... it's a little strange. You also like to wear T-shirts with strange cartoon characters, saying that I don't know who that character is yet.

I know that you are a Japanese translator and are interested in Zen, and I have secretly read your article. This is why I want to learn Japanese and read Japanese classics. I want to know you, to be close to you, and to walk into your world, instead of just watching you from afar. But I accidentally fell in love with this field that I didn't want to touch. I like your favorite Japanese literature, your favorite Japanese writers and your favorite Japanese culture. ...

There are many, many ...

However, I know so many things about you that I never knew I liked you. When I decided to go to Japan, I suddenly found myself reluctant to part with this study, the company at midnight, the fetters of my youth that I secretly dragged on for so many years, your cup of blue mountains and curved cuffs, let me feel the warmth of time and say goodbye to you.

However, there is always a way to go, and there are always some stories waiting on the road. It suddenly occurred to me that the people we met seemed to have made plans, boiling with us, sinking into the bottom of the sea, and finally looking up at the time with themselves.

So whether you and I are still the same in the mirror will not affect the time when we meet!

Shen Che, I like you. A girl named Susie liked you for four years.

No matter what happens in the future, I really hope that you can find someone who suits you, so that you won't hurt yourself with that exquisite loneliness, so that you can find someone to accompany you through the late-night study, and I will say to you: Good evening, dear.

Finally, I remember a girl named Susie, Susie, Susie.

Goodbye, take care, and hope you get to know each other.

Little Susie in Cai's pain
