Chapter 3 Christmas Eve

"What a beautiful night." Lu Bai's girlfriend Huang Yun leaned against the railing of Binjiang Avenue in Pudong, her dyed red hair fluttering in the wind.Another Christmas Eve.

There are a total of seven or eight of us, and although we have agreed to share it equally, this time Lu Bai brought his girlfriend and insisted on treating the guests by himself.We wandered aimlessly in Lujiazui, eating, drinking and having fun to our heart's content. Only my heart was heavy and I hardly said anything.

Lu Bai is 28 years old this year. Apart from owning his own house, he has average conditions in all aspects, but his girlfriend is very beautiful, a rare beauty.They met online, which should be regarded as a major achievement of online dating. At the beginning, it can be said that they had a hot fight, but later Huang Yun was not very satisfied with Lu Bai. Maybe it was because he thought Lu Bai's appearance was average. See Coming to online dating will eventually return to reality.Lu Bai often complained to me, saying that his girlfriend was becoming more and more indifferent to him. Last month, he actually proposed to break up. He was very painful, and even asked everywhere for the secret of making girls change their minds.

On the side of Binjiang Avenue, I looked at the lights on the Bund on the other side, and the Oriental Pearl Tower behind me. On the last Christmas Eve of the 20th century, the whole journey was full of flowers and flowers, but my mood was still depressed.Lu Bai suddenly put his arms around his girlfriend and said loudly to us: "Huang Yun and I have decided to get married, and next year's Spring Festival invites everyone to have our wedding wine."

This surprised us. We thought the two of them were going to break up soon, but we didn't expect to get married now, it was so sudden.I looked into his eyes carefully, but saw nothing.He was smiling all over his face, but he was a little stiff. He must be very happy. That's right, there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. Anyone who encounters such a lucky thing will be like this.

I looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, let's give this time to their world of two people, so I said goodbye to Lu Bai, and the others also left wisely, leaving only the two of them on the Huangpu River embankment. Bian Qing Qing me me.

I looked around, and there were many couples snuggling up in the cold wind.With my collar turned up, I walked dozens of steps along the Huangpu River, when suddenly a woman's scream came from behind me.That high and high-pitched voice cut through the air of Christmas Eve like a sharp dagger, and my fragile heart seemed to be torn apart by it in an instant.I clutched my chest, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat. At this time, I heard the sound of many people running, and the shrill and terrifying scream of the woman continued.I turned around and saw that it was Lu Bai's girlfriend Huang Yun who was screaming.I froze for a moment, then rushed over, pushed through the crowd, and saw that they were all looking into the Huangpu River.I also looked into the river. There was a gust of cold wind on the dark surface of the river. A figure was thrashing and struggling in the river. Some faint heat rose up, and then gradually disappeared in the icy cold rolling waves.

"Lu Bai!" Huang Yun continued to yell towards the Huangpu River, "He jumped into the Huangpu River, hurry up—save him—" She suddenly grabbed my clothes, "Save him, hurry up .”

I was also numb. If I could swim, maybe I would really jump into the Huangpu River to save people, but I don’t know how to swim, not at all. Jumping would be tantamount to suicide.The people around were also shaking their heads frequently and sighing, but no one dared to go into the water.

At this time, a policeman in a black uniform also came over. The policeman looked at the Huangpu River and shook his head helplessly. He said that he could not swim, and then said a few words into the walkie-talkie.Soon, a small boat sailed to the surface of the river. It seemed that they were not here to save people, but to salvage them.I turned my head, not daring to look at the river again, trembling all over, hugging my shoulders.Huang Yun's cries for help also stopped, she stopped talking, and stood motionless in the river wind, like a beautiful sculpture.

An hour later, Lu Bai was finally salvaged. It was horrible. I can't describe what he looked like after soaking in the icy river water. He was put into a big black plastic bag and zipped up, like A plastic coffin was sent to a corpse truck.

A policeman was questioning Huang Yun.She replied intermittently: "Suddenly, he suddenly became serious—as if he saw something."

"What?" the policeman urged her.

"I don't know, his eyes are very strange, looking behind me, then to my left, um... and then to the right, erratic, sometimes far and sometimes near. I looked around, there was nothing, finally, In the end, there was no expression on his face, his eyes seemed to disappear, he turned around and jumped over the railing, and jumped into the Huangpu River..." She couldn't say any more.

I didn't understand what she was saying, neither did the police, I looked around and there was nothing but people.

What exactly is that?
