The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 16 Fate
He carried a large bag of daily necessities and found the teachers' dormitory: a small courtyard with two floors.

There are beautiful sunflowers and roses planted in the yard, as well as green bamboos.

Follow the number on the key to open the door to a room facing south.It was afternoon, and the sunlight came in through the window lattice, illuminating the four walls.

There is a set of tables and chairs, a bookcase and a bed in the room, light in color and exuding the fragrance of pine wood.

Xinling's washbasin, towel, toothbrush, and cups were arranged one by one, and a new quilt was spread on the bed.The room suddenly became lively again.

On a winding path paved with rain flower stones, Zhang Xiaofa was looking for the cafeteria while paying attention to the people coming and going on the campus.

The end of August coincided with the start of school, and the campus was so lively.

The freshmen are accompanied by their parents, carrying large and small luggage; the old students are chasing and frolicking with each other in groups of three or two, or find a place to sit and chat with each other under the shade of a tree.

Looking around, I quickly discovered that the students here are all young girls with different personalities, and the styles of school uniforms are not as monotonous as what I saw on TV or in books.

There are powder blue dresses and white or pink short-sleeved cheongsams, which are exquisitely crafted and fit perfectly.

Some with cute braids, others with stylish cropped hair, and others with shoulder-length hair adorned with colorful ribbons or barrettes are simply stunning.

In the early years of the Republic of China, a modern person was deeply attracted by the youthful atmosphere of this campus, as if this was his former life.

Suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice.

After more than 100 years, it got into his ears so clearly.

"It's Nan!"

An uncontrollable surprise welled up in my heart.I ran all the way in the direction of the sound, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the back figure I had been reading for a long time among the groups of girls before the sound disappeared.

With loss, he took a deep breath:

"If this is her voice, then did she travel with me, or did she travel to find me without telling her father?"

That voice was like a ray of wind, it came and went so quickly that he was caught off guard.

He stood panting by the side of the boulevard, the last hope in his heart, like a spark, he was reluctant to let it go out for a long time.

Since you can hear her voice here, then stay here forever, search day by day, and one day you will find her clues.

The young man didn't want to delay for a moment, he didn't want to eat lunch anymore, he ran directly to the school gate, and was about to go out, but he was stopped by the guard.

He hurriedly explained to the doorman and interceded, saying that he was a newly recruited teaching assistant, and he would officially go to work tomorrow, and he needed to go out in the afternoon for urgent matters.The doorman asked him to register the time to go out, and waved his hand to let him go.

After leaving the school gate, looking at the roads on both sides of the school gate, I don't know which one to choose, and I feel anxious.

In desperation, he took out a silver dollar and tossed it high, letting the front and back of the silver dollar determine the left and right direction of the choice.

The silver dollar was tossed three times, and each time it miraculously turned up heads.

That means taking the more complex-looking one on the left, the one leading into the city.

For a person who is not good at recognizing and finding the way by nature, in a maze-like city, he can only go blind all the way and take whichever street is convenient.

The boy hurriedly shouted her name while walking, ignoring the curiosity and ridicule of passers-by on the roadside.

Just like this, I searched all the way until it was getting dark, but I still didn't find any clues.

The leg that was hit by a car yesterday was in excruciating pain, he finally couldn't walk anymore, and sat slumped at the crossroads, letting the heat waves and dust from the road come to him in waves brought by the evening wind.

If it weren't for a stray puppy who occasionally appeared here, it might have sat dry all night.

The puppy came by coincidence.

It was familiar, as if it knew a boy, and kept rubbing against his trouser legs.

It refused to leave even after waving its hands, and wagged its tail more and more vigorously.

He was so disturbed by it that he couldn't sit still, so he stood up.

This stop doesn't matter, I saw a road sign across the road at a glance, and hope was rekindled in my heart.

West Street Crossing is the West Street Crossing where I found the mysterious bookstore with Ms. Zhu yesterday!

Dongyu Bookstore is at the entrance of West Street, let's go tonight!

Worried that the puppy would be hit by a car at the intersection, he bent down and hugged him tightly, ignoring the pain in his leg, and rushed across the road in one breath.

After some effort, I finally found the bookstore.

The puppy barked as soon as he put it down, and followed him in with him, biting his trouser legs and jumping up and down.

Last time I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to take a good look at the bookstore.

This time it was night and the store was empty.

The lights are not bright enough.The dim light illuminates the rows of bookshelves, accompanied by a scent of sandalwood with the fragrance of books.

I can't help feeling a little nervous.The puppy looked very calm, and started digging vigorously like a treasure hunt.

The originally loose wooden boards were excitedly turned up one by one, as if playing a game of building blocks.

The little cleverness became more energetic and worked harder.The more you turn, the more sense of accomplishment you will have.

Zhang Xiaofa was afraid that it would damage the floor, so he quickly stopped it:
"Don't destroy public property, or I will beat your ass!"

"Wang Wang!"

The puppy rolled, and its little head got into a small hole exposed under the plank.After a while, he picked up a small red brocade bag in his mouth and wagged his tail triumphantly.

The little guy is amazing.Surprised, the boy picked up the mischievous puppy and snatched the little bag when it was not prepared.

The bag is very delicate and a bit worn.

The important thing is to weigh it.His intuition told him that there were extraordinary things inside.

Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but untied the knot at the mouth of the bag.

A familiar necklace actually appeared before her eyes.

The texture, style and workmanship are exactly the same as the one worn by Anan.

She took off the necklace and put it in his breast pocket as a souvenir.

However, on the day of time travel, when I woke up, I found that even the person and clothes had changed, and the necklace had mysteriously disappeared.

But inexplicably found by the puppy from the floor of the bookstore.

The joy of losing and regaining is accompanied by the sadness of not being able to meet each other.

Since it is hers, it can be taken away.

The boy happily stuffed the necklace into his trouser pocket, restored the plank on the ground, and hurried away with the puppy in his arms.

Hastily called a rickshaw and asked the driver to deliver it to the school gate.Worried that someone would follow him, he looked at the intersection vigilantly, but no one was watching, so he called the guard to open the door.

After entering the room and closing the door and confirming that the necklace was still in his pocket, he let out a sigh of relief.The puppy has done a great job, and will reward him with meat tomorrow.

I found the lost necklace by accident, maybe it was some kind of destined fate...

He fell into a deep sleep tired and hopeful.After many days, I finally had a dream.

Seemingly real and illusory, in the dream, I saw Ah Nan wearing a necklace, looking at him gently and smiling, like a quiet kitten.

That afternoon, that night, will we meet again in this life?
