Chapter 68: Return to Guangzhou ahead of schedule

I have scolded Yang Fan 800 times in my heart, but I can't blame him, after all, those who don't know are not guilty. My parents seemed to have a tacit understanding, giving me enough "face", and did not continue the topic, but ate in silence. Yang Fan realized that there was a smell of ** in this atmosphere, and soon found an excuse to leave after eating, and looked at me with an expression of "asking for more blessings" when he left.

After Yang Fan left, my parents and I were left in the dining room, and at a glance, I knew that I was "at a disadvantage". The old mother crossed her hands in front of her chest and asked in a cold voice: "What Yangfan just said, you can explain, explain." ”

I grinned, trying to fish in troubled waters and vaguely past: "Ah? Yang Fan said so many words, which sentence does my mother refer to?"

"Don't interrupt, why did you quit your previous good job, and when I asked you how your job was, you still told us that it was good. The person who spoke was Lao Cheng with a gloomy face. It's over, even Lao Cheng won't help me speak this time.

I was heartbroken and replied, "If you're not happy, you'll change it." ”

Mom was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lao Cheng waving her hand, and then relaxed her tone and said: "It's common for work to be unsatisfactory, but you shouldn't lie to us, you know? ”

Lao Cheng's words made me feel very uncomfortable, but I didn't show it on my face, and replied in a low voice: "I know, I will find a new job as soon as I go back." ”

......

This night, I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk by myself, and I didn't want to stay in the house any longer, so I put on a coat and went out in the middle of the night at eleven o'clock. I didn't go far, I just walked around my neighborhood with my headphones on.

Although the wind was not strong at night, the air was cold, and the exhaled breath turned into a white mist under the faint street lamp. I noticed a bench on the way, so I walked over and sat down, and the lighter lit a cigarette with a "click". At this time, I don't want to think about anything, whether it's work or feelings, just sit quietly, empty myself, and have a good time. In fact, many people don't necessarily have to find someone to talk to when they have something on their minds, because not everyone in this world is willing to be your "trash can" and listen to your negative energy things.

About a few songs, twelve o'clock in the morning came, according to the standard time, the three-day Spring Festival has passed. I sniffed, tightened my clothes to ward off the cold, then lit a cigarette again before leaving my chair to go home.

Walking to the road in front of the house, I put away my headphones and put them in my pocket, but when I looked up, I saw a familiar figure, standing sneakily in the doorway.

I shouted, "Cheng Yu, what are you doing?" That person is Cheng Yu, who has disappeared all day today, and he has not returned home until now.

"Damn, what are you doing! Startle me!" Cheng Yu shook suddenly, turned his head and looked at me in horror.

"Where are you going, I'm not at home all day. I asked.

Cheng Yu's face changed, and he whispered: "Let's talk in a different place, it's not good if it makes my parents sleep." ”

......

If it weren't for Cheng Yu's last words, I would have been lying on the bed and sleeping at this moment, instead of going to a supper club with him.

"Would you like to have a drink?" asked Cheng Yu.

"If you want to drink it, I don't want to drink too much, just a little bit. ”

After the wine and food were served one after another, he took a big sip of his own wine without waiting for me to ask him, and then confessed to me: "I went out with Kenin today." ”

"Well, I guessed it. I replied nonchalantly, then picked up a bunch of leeks and stuffed it into my mouth.

"We went to a lot of places throughout the day and watched a movie together in the evening......

I glared at him and interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense, get to the point." ”

Cheng Yu hesitated, took a breath, and replied, "We are together." ”

After he said this, I knew that the point was coming, so I put down my chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and said, "Isn't this a good thing?

"It's just that it feels quite sudden, maybe I haven't been in love for too long, and I'm a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, describing the awkward feeling.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, so you can relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself." Falling in love is actually just a natural thing, and if you complicate it, it's over. I grabbed a peanut and replied nonchalantly.

Cheng Yu nodded, agreed with my statement, and continued: "But then I can't go out and be happy every night like before, and I have to work hard, since my education can't keep up with her, then I have to overtake in corners from work." ”

"You really have to change your bad habits in the past, and your parents have also said that you are a lot, you are so adult, and you are so playful. There are many kinds of play, and no matter how good the atmosphere is, it can't be compared to going on a tour with the people you like. ”

I took a sip of my wine and continued: "Now everyone knows about my resignation, so I plan to go back to Guangzhou early, and there seems to be nothing to do to stay at home." ”

"The more I grow up, the more festivals like the Spring Festival will lose the flavor of the New Year. ”

"The so-called 'New Year's flavor' is just that when I go home, I see the people I want to meet, and I go to the places I want to go, and I have done all of this......" I looked at the lively supper stalls, as if to listen to myself, and said: "I'll go back to Guangzhou tomorrow." ”

Cheng Yu persuaded me and wanted me to stay at home for a few more days, but I had already decided that there was nothing more to say about it. Cheng Yu didn't continue to persuade anymore, so he clipped a chicken wing for me, and said with a smile: "Then eat a chicken wing, I wish you a great career when you go back!"

I couldn't help laughing, gave him a blank look, then put a bunch of leeks in his bowl, and said in the same tone: "Eat, eat, eat more leeks, this time is different from the past, you have to make up for it." ”

The next day, after getting up, I simply packed my luggage, and then tiptoed to close the door of the room, ready to go downstairs, but my parents were in the living room next to me, and soon my mother's voice came, and I said quietly: "Cheng Ting, where are you going with a backpack?"

If I go back to Guangzhou directly at this time, my parents will definitely disagree. The train of thought in my head spun quickly, and I made an excuse and said, "Uh...... A few friends asked me to play, and I thought it would be good to go out for a walk and see the outside world during the Chinese New Year. ”

Mom asked, "So where are you going to play, and how long are you going to go?"

"It's tentatively going around the Pearl River Delta region, and I'm not sure how long I'll go......" I stopped, walked into the living room, and continued while the iron was hot: "Oh, Mom and Dad, I don't have anything to do at home, it's rare to have time to go out and play, so you just let me go." ”

The mother glanced at Lao Cheng, as if asking for advice, Lao Cheng pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then you go, just pay attention to safety." ”

Although I am already an adult, my parents will always treat me like a child, and I am not at ease at every turn. I made an "OK" gesture with my hand, patted my chest and promised, "Okay! Put a hundred and twenty hearts, we're just walking around the nearby city, it's fine." ”

I booked a ride-hailing ride, but I deliberately didn't let the driver drive to our house, and chose to pick up the bus at the station. Cheng Yu happened to ask Ke Ning to go out, so I simply asked him to send me out.

In the car, Cheng Yu grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and played music with the other hand, he glanced at me and said, "Hey, why don't you just come with us, Ke Ning and I also made an appointment to go around a nearby city today." ”

I stared at the Moments on the screen of my phone, and replied while swiping: "Forget it, I don't want to be your light bulb." ”

"That'll do. ”

At this moment, I noticed a news in the circle of friends, Han Yue posted a few minutes ago, the copy is just a short two words "empty city", but the point is, the location under the text, is actually Guangzhou! I don't know when she returned to China, remembering that since chatting with her a few days ago, "unhappy breakup", there is no contact until now, and there is still a photo of her last courier to me in the backpack, and I haven't opened it to see it yet.

The empty city, perhaps, will not be an "empty city" soon.
