Already far from the old neighborhood, I dragged my luggage through the streets of the city, and walked for a long time before I found a stone bench in a square where I could rest.

I put my luggage on the side of the stone bench, lit a cigarette and sat down, looking at the flickering neon lights attached to the tall buildings, a panic welled up in my heart and I hurriedly avoided the light and shadow under the city, I looked up at the sky, looking for the "city in the sky" that had been stripped from my body.

I don't know when, a group of square dance aunts with fans came to the square, and the sound of music suddenly drowned me, and I couldn't see the "city in the sky" clearly in the suffocation, maybe it had long been hidden behind the moon, maybe it had been blown away by the passing wind just now, but this night, I had to find a place to rest in the city after all.

I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and dialed Lu Yu's number, he lives near the train station, and it just so happens that I am going to take the train to Hengdian tomorrow, so Suo Xing will stay with him first this night.

In the noise, Lu Yu answered the phone Jia Ming, is there something to find me?"

"Still playing in a bar?"

"yes, it's going to be our band right away. ”

"Oh...... Well, I want to go to your place

Night, is it convenient?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "What's inconvenient, you come to the bar now, wait for me to get off work, and let's go back together."

"I'll go straight to where you live, and I won't go to the bar. ”

"Laisa, I'll invite you to drink, I still have several consumption coupons here. ”

"I'm not going. After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, leaving the doubt of why I didn't go to Lu Yu.

After leaving the square, I took a taxi directly to Lu Yu's residence, checked that it was still early, and went to the train station to buy a train ticket from Suzhou to Yiwu tomorrow morning.

It was almost 12 o'clock at night when Lu Yu came back from the bar, and I was already asleep in the corridor with my luggage. Lu Yu woke me up, and said in a complaining tone: "You kid has changed stars recently! You are not happy to let you go to the bar, and you would rather wait stupidly in the corridor!"

I just smiled and didn't say anything. Lu Yu opened the door and asked me, "You moved?"

"Yes, I haven't found a suitable house for the time being, and I'll get a business trip to Hengdian tomorrow to ask for xng to come to you for a night!

"Stay, it's going to take as long as you want!" After saying that, he looked at the luggage on the ground and asked, "Where's your awesome guitar?"

I felt depressed for a while, after all, it was the guitar that had been with me for several years, but I said to Lu Yu casually: "Take it." ”

Lu Yu's eyes widened and he sighed: "Have you paid off your debts? How miserable are you! I have played with you several times before, but you didn't borrow like a baby, and even used it to pay off your debts."

"Don't mention it, help me get my luggage in. ”

Lu Yu lives in a small attic on the top floor, only a narrow one, and there is a small balcony at the back of the house, on which there is a bathroom shared by many people and a rope for drying clothes, and the living environment is not good.

When I turned on the light, I saw a few leather jackets hanging on the hanger, a guitar in the corner, a few pairs of Martin boots on the shoe rack, and a few boxes.

After placing the luggage, Lu Yu didn't know which box to take out two buckets of instant noodles and make one bucket for me and himself for supper. After a short while, the box of instant noodles that had been eaten was upside down on the discarded flower pot under the balcony, and the two of them put a few cans of beer next to them and sat on the balcony railing.

Tearing open a can of beer each, Lu Yu and I touched one, raised our heads, and immediately half-filled beer.

Jiaming, I see you've been depressed lately, what kind of blow have you suffered, and you don't even go to the bar?"

"I'm living at ease, what blow can I suffer?" I gulped down the rest of the beer from the can, staring blankly into the distance, the lights on Maxwell's giant billboard still flickering in the wee hours of the night.

Lu Yu didn't ask any more questions, and looked into the distance with my gaze, and patted me on the shoulder with empathy for a long time, we are all marginal people struggling in this city, and some pain is the same, in fact, there is no need to say it too clearly.

The wind whistled past us with the coldness of the night, and Lu Yu and I were still sitting on the guardrail and watching, and we drank another can of beer.

In the quiet night, people always think more, Lu Yu seemed to think of someone, and tore open a can of beer, but I stopped him, drinking too much wine is not good after all, I almost jumped into the moat yesterday because I drank too much.

"Miss a woman?" I smiled and asked Lu Yu

"yes, just think about it with a drink. Lu Yu said very bluntly.

I knew that Lu Yu once had a girlfriend who was very much in love, so I pushed him and said, "Do you still have a picture of that girlfriend?" ”

Lu Yu took out the wallet from the bag, took out a photo from the mezzanine and handed it to me, I saw the woman in the photo clearly by the light from a distance, her facial features are very good, she is a woman who knows very well and has a very temperamental temperament.

Lu Yu was a little distracted, and said to me after a long time: "It's been almost three years since we broke up, and now she should be married!"

"Why did you break up?" Lu Yu smiled gloomily: "She was born in a family of teachers, her parents are both university professors, scholarly families, I play music, I have no stable income, one day I live without a day, I don't want to delay her."

"So you carried her from Beijing to Suzhou?"

Lu Yu nodded, and said after a long time: "Actually, she chased her to Suzhou, and we lived together for half a year...

"Then why did you break up?" I asked, a little puzzled.

"Her parents approached me and said that a university in Beijing had arranged a job for her and asked me to let her go back to Beijing. ”

Lu Yu nodded: "Let it go, I'll tell her I have another woman."

"Can she believe it?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "She definitely doesn't believe it, I found a young lady, right in this room, in front of her... Lu Yu didn't say any more, still with a smile on his face, but what I saw under this smile was a dead heart.

I sighed heavily and said, "Why do you want to do such a thing!"

"I don't do this, she won't go, long pain is better than short pain...... Lu Yu raised his head and drank the beer in the can, but some of the liquor flowed down his neck and into his clothes.

I was silent, although Lu Yu said lightly, I saw a heart-rending love in helplessness, and I knew that Lu Yu would never forget that woman in her life

"Don't talk about me, take out that picture of your girlfriend and take a look. Lu Yu also pushed me and said. I also took out Anqi's photo from the mezzanine of my wallet and handed it to Lu Yu, in fact, we were not too willing to forget the past, because the light on the opposite side was insufficient, Lu Yu lit the lighter, and looked at Anqi in the photo through the burning flame.

"Your girlfriend is beautiful, not ordinarily beautiful!"

When I heard the word beautiful, suddenly the face of my female tenant came to my mind again, but this did not surprise me, because I have never seen a more beautiful woman than Zhang Rixuan in my life, just an instant I returned to reality, while the flame has not yet been extinguished to look at Anqi's familiar and unfamiliar face in the photo, my heart stabbed

Pain, I thought: It won't be long before she and Xiang Chen get married.

Lu Yu returned Anqi's photo to me and asked, "What about you, why did you break up?"

I recalled, for a long time, saying, "A year after she went to the United States, she called me and proposed to break up.

"Why did she break up with you?" Lu Yu asked.

"I don't know, she didn't say. I replied with the same smile as Lu Yugang.

"You didn't ask?" I nodded, I really didn't ask Angel why she broke up with me, because I thought: if Angel wants to say, she will tell me if she doesn't need me to ask, or maybe my subconscious doesn't believe that we can go to the end, and there will be a day when we break up, and what can I do if I ask for a result if I want something unexpected?

"Aren't you afraid that there will be some misunderstanding between you?" Lu Yu reminded me. I was stunned and said, "What misunderstanding can there be?... Love is just a passing cloud, don't talk about this! Go get the guitar

Let's have a song, forget about the mess Lu Yu took the guitar from the house, tried the tone and asked me, "Use your key (tune) or my key?"

"Whatever. Lu Yu plucked the guitar strings, and a melody fluttered in the night air, which was Li Zongsheng's "The Price of Love"

Let's go, let's go, people always have to learn to grow up by themselves, let's go, let's go, life will inevitably experience pain and struggle, let's go, let's go, find a home for your heart. But I didn't understand whether the price of love was just sad tears and heartbreak, but I knew: the price of growth

But it is the love that has passed away in the flow of years.

In the middle of the night, I still regret my lost love for Lu Yu and the unknown Beijing mother! The next morning, I took the train to Yiwu, and after arriving in Yiwu, I had to transfer to Hengdian, I knew that I should do something for myself, if Chu He could agree to come back this time to help guccI shoot

Career poster, my career will usher in the first progress in my life.

I was promoted to the leader of the planning and copywriting team, and my monthly salary will also exceed 10,000 yuan, and maybe my life will be stabilized.

Sitting on the train to the south, I said to myself for the first time, "Work hard, Jiaming!
