My secret love for Bai Yueguang turned out to be my blind date

Chapter 161
At the beginning of the night lights, Charing Cross Road.

Charing Cross Road is famous because of a book "No. 84, Charing Cross Road" by Helen Hanff, which is a story of the author himself.Helene Hanff is a relatively poor female writer in New York, but she is a book lover. She accidentally learned that there is a bookstore at 84 Charing Cross Road, London, England, and there are many second-hand books in it, so she wrote a letter to hope Buy books, and thus get acquainted with the bookstore owner Frank.

So a 20-year story spanning the eastern and western hemispheres began. During these 20 years, the two exchanged letters and discussed family, life, and books. However, due to war and economic reasons, the two never met each other until Frank died.

Later, Helene Hanff finally came to London. At this time, the bookstore at No. 84 Charing Street was being auctioned, so in order to commemorate this story, she compiled the letters between the two of them for 20 years into a book, namely Ding Ding "84 Charing Cross Road" by daimyo.

Because of this, No. 84 Charing Cross Road has become a holy place for many literary youths, but now, the former site is no longer there. It has become a bar, and only the house number of No. 84 Charing Cross Road remains.

But thanks to this book, this story, there is still a bookstore here.

Jiang Baizhi was surprised, "Su Ye, what did you bring me here for?"

"There is a secret, just wait for me."

Su Ye collected himself and looked for the shadow in his memory. After a few seconds, he found the place he wanted to go, a bookstore named 'Past'.

Thanks to the story of 84 Charing Cross Road, this bookstore provides a special service, you can spend fifty dollars, write a letter here, leave an address, ten years later, the bookstore will help you send out.

On that afternoon a few years ago, Su Ye walked into this bookstore by accident and wrote a letter.

A letter written to himself ten years later, which contained his mood and desire at that time.

In fact, when he came to England this time, Su Ye didn't think about coming here and took out this letter in advance.But because of what Jiang Baizhi said in the afternoon, the so-called fate, he felt that this letter was unnecessary.

Su Ye walked into the bookstore and appealed to the boss. In the surprise of the boss, Su Ye pointed to Jiang Baizhi outside the door. The boss smiled at Jiang Baizhi, gave Su Ye a thumbs up, and then turned to go building
Jiang Baizhi outside the door shrugged her shoulders, a little confused, but Su Ye gave her a reassuring smile. Although she didn't know what happened, she still laughed.

After all, some people, when you see him smile, you want to laugh too.

After a while, Su Ye thanked the boss and walked out of the bookstore.

Immediately, Jiang Baizhi couldn't wait to greet her, "It's so mysterious, what are you doing in there? Why does that foreigner laugh at me?"

Su Ye raised the envelope in his hand and handed it to Jiang Baizhi.

"It's all in there."

As Jiang Baizhi opened the letter, Su Ye explained the origin of the letter, "I came here to search for books about three years ago. This bookstore provides a special service. I can write a letter to my future self or someone. This letter will be mailed on the appointed date. In fact, thinking about it now is full of uncertainty. What if the store closes down? What if the address left behind has been changed? But people are emotional animals. At that moment, I just wanted to write a letter."

"You should be thankful that this store didn't close down, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read this letter." Jiang Baizhi said with a smile, "However, why did you think of taking it out in advance? Why didn't you wait until the date came?"

"Just read this letter and you'll know."

Jiang Baizhi was taken aback, and then began to read the letter written by Su Ye three years ago, "Dear Su Ye, hello. When you receive this letter, it should be ten years later. Maybe you can't remember Let me tell you how I felt when I wrote this letter at the beginning. At this moment, your heart is very peaceful, you are very free, and you are also very lonely. Because you don’t know what will happen in the future, you came in and wrote this letter. Then How are you doing now? Is your mother okay? Is Zhang Wangyou okay? Are you with the one you love? "

After reading this, Jiang Baizhi stopped and looked at Su Ye suspiciously. What does this mean? Could it be that Su Ye already had someone he liked in his heart?

Su Ye seemed to have noticed Jiang Baizhi's thoughts, and smiled helplessly, "I never pretended to be anyone other than you."

Only then did Jiang Baizhi nod in satisfaction. She thought Su Ye meant that she only loved herself, and the "she" here was just a reference.But she didn't expect that there was another explanation for this sentence: I never pretended to be anyone other than you, because I always pretended to be you.

"Now you are nearly forty years old, have you lived the life you want? Are you continuing to study philosophy and do what you love? If she is by your side, you will be with her in the sunset, In the twilight, do you take a slow walk? Do you have a dog? Is it a golden retriever or an Alaskan? Is your favorite movie now "Notting Hill"? Are you happy? I don't know how your future will be How about it, but standing ten years ago, I hope that you will get what you want ten years later, not everything will be successful, but you can be happier."

Su Ye next to him listened to Jiang Baizhi's reading aloud, and then looked at Jiang Baizhi next to him. Only he could understand the comfort in his heart.The him three years ago was not even sure that he would be able to fulfill his wish ten years later, but now Jiang Baizhi is standing by his side.

Jiang Baizhi was not much better, it was obviously a very ordinary letter, but the more Jiang Baizhi read it, the more sad she became.She thought that when Su Ye wrote these words back then, she must not have been so happy and at ease.
At this moment, Su Ye took away the letter that Jiang Baizhi had finished reading. Under Jiang Baizhi's surprised eyes, Su Ye tore the envelope bit by bit, then raised his big hand and waved it into the air
"What are you doing? It's such a good commemoration, why it was torn apart."

"Because all my dreams have come true! She has already found that one. She will not only walk with me, but also read books with me, watch movies with me, and accompany me for three meals and four seasons for a lifetime."

Jiang Baizhi heard the words, although her heart was very sweet, but she still felt a little pity, "That shouldn't be torn up, it's good to keep it for later when I get old."

"Bai Zhi, do you know? Starting today, my life will be divided into two parts because of you. Yesterday and the past are not important. I only care about every day from today, because every day will have you .” Su Ye’s eyes seemed to be glowing.

Well, Jiang Baizhi was very moved, she understood the "weight" of Su Ye's words, and Su Ye took her as the measure of his life.

Although Jiang Baizhi didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, she couldn't help but said, "Shouldn't the date in your life be divided into two halves on the day when we officially met at Disney? I put it in your life?"

Su Ye was speechless, why did she say nothing?
"Bai Zhi, we are leaving London tomorrow, let me treat you to a big meal."

Jiang Baizhi gave Su Ye a white look. She saw Su Ye's careful thought in changing the subject, but she still held Su Ye's arm. She didn't know why Su Ye would do such a thing or say such a thing, but she understood , it must be because Su Ye loves herself a little more than yesterday.

So, what is there to worry about?

Under the street lamp, the shadows of the two stretched so long, behind them were the confetti filled with the past, the wind blows, blowing far, far
