Wake up in the middle of the night, Chen Ming feels as if his brain is about to split. He struggled to turn on the bedside lamp and found that he was in a retro-style room, with mahogany furniture, blue and white porcelain, and even the bedsheets showing the unique charm of old Shanghai. Why am I here? He thought hard, and his thoughts gradually became clear.
After walking out of the airport in the afternoon, Zhu Gui, an old classmate who came to pick him up, took him to the bar for a drink. Until the willows on the moon, the two went back to the hotel. The car stopped on a tree-lined path, and the drunk Chen Ming was helped out of the car by Zhu Gui, but his eyes fell on a telephone booth on the side of the road. The phone booth was different from the general ones, and it exuded a mysterious atmosphere. The drunk Chen Mingzheng wondered how he felt this strange feeling, but saw a sign standing next to the phone booth: If the phone booth.
The telephone booth also has a sign, which is worthy of a metropolis, and Chen Ming staggered into the booth. Zhu Gui said in the back: “You want to call your girlfriend? You guy, you don’t forget to call back and report your whereabouts when you are away!” Chen Minggang picked up the microphone. Hearing this, his heart was lost and he couldn’t help but face the microphone. Mumbled: “Where do I have a girlfriend? Well, if one day, I can meet a considerate girl, dressed in a cheongsam, with a lilac-like intoxicating temperament…” As he said, he felt strong bursts His drunkenness hit, and the next thing, he was completely impressed.
It seems that Zhu Gui sent him here. Chen Ming looked at his watch, and it was 3 o’clock in the morning. He was about to continue to sleep, but he heard someone knock on the door, a very soft knock. Opening the door, a figure squeezed in through the crack in the door. What came in was a young woman with a pretty face, a graceful body, and an elegant breath between her eyebrows. Is it the hotel escort girl? Chen Ming is really hard to believe.
I can’t allow him to think too much. As soon as the woman came in, she took off her cheongsam with ease, stuffed it into her handbag, and then drew another cheongsam of different colors from her handbag. , Hang on a hanger. After doing these things, the woman put on her bellyband, hugged Chen Ming, pushed him down on the bed, and turned off the bedside lamp.
What should I do? There was a scuffle in Chen Ming’s mind. At this time, there was a violent kick at the door: “Damn, open the door to Lao Tzu!” Then there was another knock of keys, and the door was opened. It is estimated that the waiter gave them the keys. Several big guys rushed in and turned on the room lights.
The woman in Chen Ming’s arms screamed softly and buried her head deeply into his arms, her entire face covered by long black hair.
Several big guys yelled as soon as they entered the door: “Hey, have you seen a woman?”
Chen Ming found the woman in his arms using His hand quietly stroked the word “Mrs.” under his arm. He understood his heart and yelled angrily: “My wife and I fell asleep too early, so how can any woman come in? Don’t youGo, I will call the police. “
The big guys didn’t seem to want to alarm the police either. They rummaged for a while. Seeing that there were no others, one of them pointed to the cheongsam on the hanger and said to the big guy who was headed: “Brother, just now The lady is not wearing this style of cheongsam, and the color is different. Let’s go to another room to find it. “The leading man nodded, and a group of people rushed out again.

Chen Ming was full of doubts. Before he could speak, the woman had already got out of the bed. , Put on the cheongsam on the hanger at a speed faster than undressing, and smiled at Chen Ming: “Thank you. Can you tell me your name? “
Chen Ming reported her name, and the woman continued: “My name is Li Ying, there will be a period later. “After speaking, she left in a hurry. Chen Ming couldn’t recover for a long time. Which one did this show? Look at the clothes of those big guys, and they don’t look like modern hooligans. Is he acting in a movie? Sighed, didn’t the woman who claimed to be Li Ying fit the standards of the lover of his dream? He couldn’t help but regret not asking for a phone call from Li Ying just now.
Chen Ming found it under the quilt. A handkerchief should have been dropped by Li Ying. He tucked it in his trouser pocket. After a while, he fell asleep again. When he was awakened by the doorbell, he was already three poles in the sun. When he opened the door, Zhu Gui rushed in like a gust of wind. When are you still sleeping? “
Chen Ming touched his head and suddenly felt something was wrong. What appeared in front of him was a five-star hotel room. All the furniture was modern style. Those mahogany furniture and What about porcelain? Chen Ming talked about the experience of last night, Zhu Gui laughed so hard that he could not stand up: “Your imagination is quite rich! After you were drunk last night, I sent you directly to room 906. How can there be any antique-style rooms? Moreover, you and an old woman bought that handkerchief on the small road back to the hotel from the phone booth. It’s still the money I paid, 10 yuan. You are so drunk that you have forgotten everything. “
Chen Ming is speechless. Is it just a dream last night? The two walked out of the restaurant, looking for a place to eat. Just walking to the tree-lined path, Chen Ming suddenly remembered something: “I remember, there was an’if phone booth’ here last night, why is there nothing now? “Zhu Gui also felt strange, thought about it, and said, “There are many mobile phone booths, just like mobile public toilets. Maybe someone moved the phone booths elsewhere.” “
Chen Ming’s whole soul is not in the house. Last night, his memory is still fresh, and it doesn’t seem like a dream. In the following days, he has been sluggish, so he made an excuse for something at home. The return ticket for the next day.
That night, Zhu Gui ordered a table of sumptuous meals, the two drank some wine, and Chen Ming fell asleep when he returned to the room. , He was awakened by a burst of smoke. When he opened his eyes, he saw a burst of smoke pouring in from under the door. Opening the door, the fire was blazing outside, and the hotel was on fire! The fire was so strong that Chen Ming could not get out. There was a burst of smoke. In, he only feelsIt was dark before, and then it became unconscious.

When he woke up again, Chen Ming was already in the hospital. Zhu Gui breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s okay at last. Last night, I felt sick in my stomach, so I went outside to buy medicine. When I came back, the hotel was already on fire, and the fire was too strong for me to rush in. Later, the firefighters arrived and rescued you. Came out.” Then, he raised a book in his hand, “When the firefighters cleaned the scene, they found a wooden mezzanine in the wall of the room you lived in. The outer wooden layer had been burned out, and there was A book. The strange thing is that this book did not burn out. I found it was a book from the Republic of China period. I knew that you have a lot of research on the history of the Republic of China, so I asked for this book.”
Chen Ming turned it over and the title was “Reminiscences of Female Agents of the Republic of China”. The content is that a female agent of the Republic of China wandered between Japanese and puppets in the occupied area to steal intelligence for China. Turning to the last chapter, there is a passage that shocked Chen Ming’s heart. To the effect, the identity of the female agent was later revealed and was followed by Japanese puppets. The female agent ran into Wanhua’s apartment and took the risk and knocked on the door of one of the rooms, only to meet a man. Due to the cover of the man, the female agent escaped smoothly. At the end of the article, the female agent also wrote that she has never forgotten the handsome and decent man. His name is Chen Ming…
Chen Ming was stunned. He quickly turned to the last page. There was the real name of the female agent: Li Ying! Look at the photo on the side again, the woman above is clearly Li Ying! In the book, Li Ying also mentioned that after she escaped that night, she went to Chongqing. Within a few years, after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, she returned to Shanghai and wrote her memoirs, and hid one of them in the mezzanine of the room where she met Chen Ming, to commemorate the beautiful but hurried encounter. At the end of the book, there is a preface written by a famous writer at the time for the reprint of the book. It mentioned that in the year when the War of Resistance was about to win, Li Ying died in a mission, and even the corpse capital could not be found.
Chen Ming has been depressed after being discharged from the hospital. He didn’t understand, how could he meet Li Ying decades ago? But he knew that he would never forget this beautiful lilac woman in this life!
Two years later, the Green Garden Hotel reopened. Chen Ming booked Room 906 to cherish the memory of his encounter with Li Ying. That night, sleeping until midnight, a soft knock on the door sounded. The familiar knock on the door made his heart jump wildly without control. Open the door, Li Ying turned out to be outside!
Chen Mingxin was overjoyed and asked her how to get back here. Li Ying said with a puzzled face: “I was on a mission that day, but I found a strange pavilion on the side of the road. There was a phone in the pavilion. I didn’t know why, so I picked up the phone and remembered that night with you. So, I said something: If one day, I could meet you again, and grow old together, then it would be great! I didn’t expect that people would suddenly come here as soon as they finished speaking.”
Chen Ming realized that Li Ying did not sacrifice in the execution of the mission, but traveled through time and space, and came to today, decades later, to grow old with her beloved. No wonder people at the time couldn’t find her body at all.
In the days that followed, Chen Ming and Li Ying never saw the “If Phone Booth” again. However, they all understand that it is a phone booth specially designed for lovers.
If one day, you see it, don’t forget to pick up the phone and make a wish “If one day…”. Perhaps, you will meet the person who can join hands for a lifetime in another time and space!
