Chapter 54: Luo Li
Yang Yi cleaned the vegetables well, took off the kitchen knife hanging on the wall, held the vegetable in his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, Yang Yi quickly waved the kitchen knife in his hand, the rhythmic sound sounded on the cutting board, and the knife technique was extremely skillful.
The girl, who was still holding the photo frame and watching the photo carefully, was instantly attracted by Yang Yi's act of chopping vegetables, and the whole person involuntarily walked to Yang Yi's side, and let out an exclamation in her mouth.
"I didn't think you could actually cook. The girl also patted Yang Yi on the shoulder, completely looking like an old friend for many years, not realizing that this was actually the first time she and Yang Yi were alone.
Since there were not many dishes, Yang Yi brought the hot dishes to the girl after a while, and the aroma suddenly made the girl feel hungry, and her stomach made a gurgling sound when her stomach was inappropriate, and the girl glanced at Yang Yi embarrassedly, with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Hurry up and eat. Yang Yi looked at the girl's slightly embarrassed appearance and said with a slight smile.
"Aren't you going to eat?" the girl said as she shifted her gaze from the delicious meal to Yang Yi, looking at Yang Yi with big eyes sparkling.
"I'm not hungry. Yang Yi sat on the bed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and replied.
"Then you're welcome. When the girl heard this, she immediately picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to take a bite and put it in her mouth.
"Wow, it's delicious. ”
Yang Yi smoked silently, did not speak, and quietly watched the girl's "gobbling" appearance with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Maybe it's because he hasn't been alone at night for many years, or maybe this basement sometimes seems too empty in the dark, Yang Yibao feels that his heart has become a little full, and he is no longer so lonely.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, wandering in a strange city, the most unsurmountable is the loneliness brought by being alone, no matter how prosperous the city is difficult to hide the loneliness in the heart, no matter how bright the lights can not drive away the inner loneliness.
The girl finished eating after a while, and Yang Yi looked at the two dishes he fried and saw that he had already eaten them cleanly.
"It's so full, it's so delicious. The girl casually picked up the tissue on the table and wiped her mouth, and said with a look of satisfaction.
"Thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be hungry again tonight. The girl continued.
"Then why don't you order takeout?" Yang Yi asked.
"The takeout at night is too expensive, and I usually eat instant noodles. The girl replied unhurriedly.
After listening to the girl's words, Yang Yi didn't answer, just took a puff of cigarette silently, and looked at the smoke spit out of his mouth with a somewhat blank look.
"The takeaway in the evening was too expensive. This sentence continued to echo in Yang Yi's ears like magic, and it seemed to be somewhat similar to himself.
I don't know when Yang Yi also felt that takeaway was very expensive, an ordinary takeaway may not be worth mentioning for most people, but for some people, it has long been "unattainable" and silent.
Yang Yi did not continue to dwell on this topic, but asked: "You are a girl, knocking on the door of strangers in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"
The girl stood up, changed the chair, and came face to face with Yang Yi.
Hearing Yang Yi's words, the girl smiled slyly: "I must be afraid, but I know that you are a good person, so I am not afraid." ”
Yang Yi was speechless when he heard the girl's words, this is too far-fetched, one sentence: If you are a good person, it will be over.
In fact, what Yang Yi didn't know was that every time the girl returned to the basement at dawn, she didn't fall asleep immediately, and secretly observed Yang Yi in her room who was dressed up and went to work in the morning, after all, Yang Yi was her neighbor, and she would definitely subconsciously know a little more.
Some people say that everyone will be very hypocritical, but that is only in front of people, when people are the least hypocritical, that is, when they are alone, people will always let go of the fatigue and anxiety of life when they are alone, and engraved on the face, it looks particularly real, and Yang is no exception.
Maybe the girl is based on this to evaluate Yang Yi.
Sometimes although the public's judgment criteria for strange things are more uniform, which is based on materialism, and strangers are more based on idealism, perhaps a look, a back, an inconsequential word, can increase its favor, a lot of love is not born like this?
"My name is Luo Li, what about you?" the girl took the initiative to introduce herself after a brief exchange.
Yang Yi's eyes looked at the smiling girl in front of him with deep eyes through the smoke floating in his hand, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "Yang Yi." ”
"Do you work two jobs?"
Yang Yi heard the girl's words and replied with a smile: "How do you know that I have two jobs?"
"I see that when you go out in the morning, you wear a shirt and leather shoes, and on the weekend, you wear the clothes of a delivery guy. After Luo Li finished speaking, he also pointed to the takeaway clothes that Yang Yi had never taken off.
Yang also heard Luo Li's words before he suddenly realized.
"But you, why didn't you go to work today? At this time in the past, you shouldn't have gotten off work yet. Yang Yi didn't ask Luo Li about his specific work, because looking at Luo Li's working hours, Yang Yi could guess that Luo Li should work in an entertainment place.
"Yesterday I was fired by my manager, so I didn't go to class. Luo Li spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Expulsion?"
"Yes, I used to be a wandering singer in a bar, but yesterday the manager asked me to drink with the guests, and I didn't agree, so I was fired. Luo Li continued to explain, after Luo Li said this, he subconsciously frowned, although the frown was short, but it was still noticed by Yang Yi.
Yang Yi looked at this scene, just a helpless sigh in his heart, he could understand the uneasiness and helplessness behind the frowning.
"I didn't expect you to be a singer. Yang also took the initiative to change the subject.
"yes, I ate your meal tonight, or I'll give you a few songs as a meal ticket. ”
"That's not necessary, it's all a gesture, don't worry too much. ”
"How's that going to work? You wait for me. After Luo Li said this, he ran out of the door, and after a while, he reappeared in front of Yang Yi with a guitar.
"Do you have a favorite song?" asked Lorley, sling his guitar around his waist.
Yang Yi shook his head.
"Then I'll just sing it. Luo Li saw that Yang also had no special songs, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Sing whatever you want. ”
Luo Li adjusted his posture and moistened his singing voice, and the sound of the light guitar sounded in Yang Yi's ears.
"How many years have passed in the world, where are you now, what kind of story are you experiencing, what kind of happiness is there. ”
"I can still feel the pain today, the spring breeze blowing through the city, the village .................."
The rain outside the window is still falling, the sad song ripples in the slightly dim basement, there is no stirring melody, only unhurried confession, a singer, affectionate, a listener, silent.
On a rainy night, only the sad song sounded in the middle of the night, as if telling the very desolate boy and girl, perhaps because the song was too beautiful, and the boy did not wake up from the memories of the past until the cigarette in his hand spontaneously ignited to his fingertips.
But the singing never stopped, like the rain outside the window......
