"Liar, damn liar, you tricked me into coming to Kyoto and froze me to death... I'll never believe in online dating again."
It was already evening, and the sky over Kyoto was gray, though even the bright lights of the skyscrapers made it seem a bit dark. It was rush hour, and the streets were busy with traffic and the sound of horns honking.
Ye Feng, carrying a bag and wearing a thin sweatshirt, sat at the exit of the train station, cursing. On his phone were more than a dozen messages that had been sent but rejected.
"Are you there? I'm in Kyoto" (The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party)
“????” (The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party)
"Fuck" (The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party)
…
"Why is it so cold in Kyoto? I always wear short sleeves in Jiangcheng!"
At the end of October, the north had already felt the chill of late autumn, while Jiangcheng, where Ye Feng was, had not yet gotten rid of the lingering heat of summer...
Ye Feng looked at his WeChat balance and sighed. It was only about a hundred yuan, just enough for the train fare.
He wasn't exactly a frugal college student, but 1,500 yuan a month for living expenses was about right. It was just that his online crush's request to meet him was a bit abrupt, having only mentioned it two weeks ago. He'd been living on instant noodles for two weeks...
"Why would you be so stupid as to agree to come to Kyoto to meet your online crush?"
The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He'd eaten instant noodles for half a month just to meet an online friend, and rushed all the way from Jiangcheng to Kyoto. Now he only had so little money, just enough for the train fare back home.
What was even more speechless was that there were no train tickets back to Jiangcheng tonight. This meant that Ye Feng had to stay in Kyoto for one night. With the balance he had, staying at the train station was a good option.
Aaaaaahhhh!!!
"Should I ask Lao Deng for some money? No, no, we just had a fight a couple of days ago and I can't lose face. And if he knew I came to Kyoto to meet my online girlfriend, he would beat me to death!"
Ye Feng only felt a headache. Although his online girlfriend had stood him up and blocked him for no apparent reason, he just felt bad at most, and it was not a deep hatred.
After all, in his darkest time, it was this stranger on the Internet who kept encouraging him and gave him the motivation to continue studying and taking exams.
"Blocking him for no reason is too much! After all, he's still an online dating partner."
Ye Feng scratched his head and thought, then bought the earliest train ticket for tomorrow. He wanted to go home!
This was his first time in Kyoto. Although Jiangcheng was nominally a first-tier city like Kyoto, it was a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces.
But what is the status of Kyoto?
The political center of China is not on the same level in terms of size. Kyoto is more than several times more prosperous than Jiangcheng!
Carrying his schoolbag, Ye Feng prepared to take a good stroll in Kyoto, so as not to make the trip in vain.
At this moment, the phone vibrated.
"Are you there?"
It wasn't his online girlfriend, but Song Qiyue, a classmate he hadn't contacted for more than a year, who also brought Ye Feng painful memories!
"?"
"I just wanted to ask what university you got into."
"Jiangcheng University, you don't have to ask me."
"But you know, I..."
Ye Feng was silent. He didn't know how he should feel about Song Qiuyue. He thought they had completely broken up in their senior year of high school.
After a long silence, he replied
"What about you? You should have been admitted to the university you wanted, Huaqing University or Kyoto University. It should be Huaqing, you said you like Huaqing more."
"Kyoto University"
…
One year ago, on a sunny morning.
Under a pavilion, a young boy lowered his head and looked at the test paper on the table. The girl next to him tilted her head and held her chin with her hand, looking at the boy with her eyebrows curved and full of smiles.
The young man flicked the girl's forehead with his finger and smiled helplessly:
"Don't look at me anymore. Read more. The time left for the college entrance examination is running out."
"You're a university tyrant. If you've learned something, just teach me more and take me to Huaqing University!"
The girl held the boy's arm and smiled.
"Do you like Hua Qing?"
"Yeah."
"I prefer Kyoto University. It seems we won't be attending the same university."
"You're so annoying!"
Looking at the girl's pretended anger, the boy stroked her hair, his eyes full of doting.
…
Ye Feng pulled his thoughts away from his previous memories and typed only two words on the screen:
"Congratulations"
The two ended their chat with this perfunctory reply. Ye Feng couldn't clearly explain what his feelings were towards Song Qiyue. Was it hatred for her decisiveness or a longing for the past? He didn't know...
He also didn't know what feelings Song Qiyue had for him now. Maybe nothing. After all, few blind people would remember the crutches that had always accompanied them after they regained their sight.
Ye Feng shook his head to get rid of his messy thoughts and walked out of the train station. The cool wind blew into his clothes, and the biting cold made him shiver all over.
I opened the map on my phone and hesitated for a moment before deciding to go to Kyoto's bustling commercial street. There probably wouldn't be anything interesting to see elsewhere at night.
When I got off the bus, I had 16.85 yuan left. Not to mention finding a place to stay for the night, it was even a problem whether I could have dinner.
It's so hard! "Without money, you can't move forward." Ye Feng, who had just entered university, had a deep understanding of this social philosophy.
On the bustling streets, people of all kinds were chatting and laughing, but he, who was alone, seemed out of place.
After walking around for a while, Ye Feng sat down tiredly on a chair by the roadside. The stainless steel chair had fully absorbed the coolness of the air.
