[26] The Trestle Road
At ten o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the pier with the cat.
It was a long bridge that stood on the bay of City B, and crossed the bay like a sharp sword, and it was said to be nearly 500 meters long and only eight meters wide.
There is a small pavilion at the end of the bridge, the distance of 500 meters is enough for the small pavilion to be reduced to the size of a bean grain, only from the bridge continue to move forward, the pavilion will gradually enlarge, from the bean to the fist to enlarge the fruit, and then a little bit bigger, bigger, bigger,
Today is Saturday, and it happens to coincide with Valentine's Day, there are indeed quite a lot of people who come here, couples hold hands and walk on the bridge, sometimes stop to take pictures, seagulls fly on the sea, sometimes slammed across the water, stirring up ripples of diffusion,
We started walking from the bridge, and before we knew it, we were in the middle of the bridge.
In the middle of the bridge, you can see the entire bay, and from here, you can look across the blue sea and look at the tall buildings in the distance.
"Look, God Ji, they've gathered,"
The cat said this happily, watching the seagulls in the distance spread their wings and flew towards her.
She was wearing a plain dress that I had never seen before, and her slightly brownish black hair was scattered, and at this time, her jade white hands were on the guardrail of the trestle, and she was very expecting the seagulls in the distance to fly over,
"Well, it seems that small animals like cats,"
I said this to her, and as soon as I finished speaking, the seagulls were hovering above where the cat was standing, as if dancing in the sky, but in fact a seagull flew down slowly from the sky, and the cat stretched out her hand, and it stopped on her arm.
It is said that the seagulls here should be a little scary, but when they see cats, they are still very close to and fond of her, as if cats are their friends.
"It's amazing......"
I was so amazed, and the surrounding tourists couldn't help but take out their cameras to take pictures when they saw this scene, and the seagulls collectively circled over the trestle, which is also a rare spectacle.
The cat patted the seagull lightly on the head, and smiled softly at it, and the seagull spread its wings and flew into the distance, while the cat and I continued to walk towards the end of the trestle, the pavilion in the center,
She walked in front, I walked a little back, her steps were very slow, step by step on the stone slab of the trestle, making a soft sound,
"Now, Ji Shen, it's a long way,"
Walking about 200 meters on the trestle, the cat school flower suddenly said to me,
"Well, it's long, and it's full of people, it's a little crowded,"
I nodded and said this, looking back at the sparsely standing couples holding hands, and looking forward at the pavilion in the middle of the bay, it was even more crowded.
"Walking on this trestle bridge, I thought of a lot of things, I feel that walking on this road is like the road of life, there are a lot of people, on both sides of the rippling sea, the end of the road is a pretty good small pavilion,"
The cat school flower said this to me, her statement made me slightly stunned, I used to think that the couples who came out on a date on Tanabata should always talk about some low-level things, but the cat cat talked to me about some philosophical things on the trestle.
But I'm not a couple with cats, and it's good to talk about things like that once in a while.
"Yes, walking on such a long bridge, you have to pass a lot of people when you walk, the starting point is very far away, and the end point is a small pavilion, but I think it's a bit broad to describe it as [The Road of Life], I think it's more like [The Road of Youth],"
I said so slowly to the cat school flower, in my understanding, the diversity of life is not a model such as a trestle can be simply summarized, if this is described as the road of youth is better, youth is like this, at first look at the future feels very vague and distant, and then it will gradually become clear, along the way through a lot of people, and most people end up to a warm and stable small pavilion,
"Hmm..... Ji Shen is right, it's really appropriate to describe it like this, and Ji Shen has been in love a few times before,"
The cat school flower suddenly tilted her head, and asked me with a red face, and the topic suddenly changed from some philosophical questions to everyday blushing topics.
Hey, cat, don't get into this kind of conversation so quickly,
"Ahem, have you been in love a few times, probably so many times, it always feels like more than two times, less than five times,"
I vaguely replied to the cat, counting Ling, counting the snow moonflower, maybe counting the glass when I was a child, Alice and so on are indeed this number,
Of course,I've been in love with a girl thousands of times in the two-dimensional love development game.,I'm embarrassed to say this kind of thing to cats.,
"Oh, that's right, Ji Shen's love must be great,"
The cat school flower blushed slightly and looked at the sea surface of the bay and said,
If my memory is correct, it seems that when I was playing Truth or Dare in the club, I remember that the cat used to say that she had never been in love.
There should be a lot of boys who have been pursuing her, so why.......
"By the way, why don't cats never fall in love,"
I was a little curious, and suddenly asked the cat with a red face,
Although I also regretted it a little after asking, I felt that it was too abrupt for girls to ask like this.
"Oops,"
Sure enough, when the cat heard me ask, her face turned a little red and her eyes were a little evasive, but after that, she thought about it seriously,
Lowered his head, thought carefully for a while, and then opened his red lips lightly and spoke,
"I've never been in love because I always feel like something is waiting for me, I always feel like a fairy tale, he's waiting for me in the future at some time and ......"
The cat school flower blushed and whispered,
"So have you almost met that person now?"
I'm a little curious and asked, yes, that's pretty much the point.
"Hmm..... Not.... Not... I didn't have one,"
The cat glanced at me, her eyes were a little more evasive, and her face was a lot redder, don't look away from me,
Unconsciously, we chatted briefly, and soon arrived at the pavilion at the end.
Under the red and blue pavilion, my cat and I leaned against the fence and looked at the calm sea.
The seagulls are still hovering slowly in the sky, and the occasional blow of the sea breeze drives subtle ripples.
Whew,,Whew,,
The sea breeze was undulating, blowing the cat's brown hair, and her hair slowly fluttered with the sea breeze.
"It's nice to have such a calm and calm sea,"
She smiled, looked at the calm sea, and said,
Whew,,Whew,,
The seagull spread its wings from the sea and flew up, soaring in the blue sky, crossing a distant trail,
