Chapter 14: Drizzle, Running Pride

On this night, several young people took beer as an hourglass of time, beer bottles fell one by one, time passed minute by minute, under the shroud of lead clouds, the sun disappeared early, the dusk of the mountain city came very quickly, the street lamps and the decorative lights of the city shone in turn, and the river shook up a blurry wave.

The shadow of the city is reflected in the waves, quiet and distant, and the elongated whistle is the breath of the city, which is clearly transmitted to our ears in the anticipation of autumn dusk.

The four of us don't remember how much beer we drank, Xiao Yong was long gone, Da Yong began to speak fluent English, Zhao Yang sat on a low stool, casually fiddled with the cigarette case in his hand, on the table, three hundred yuan bills lay there quietly, as if laughing at us.

"Let's go back!" Daewoo sighed and told me.

Zhaoyang got excited, grabbed the money on the table and put it in his pocket, Daewoo called the waiter, and then pointed at Zhaoyang and said, "He pays", ignoring Zhaoyang's shouting in the back, he took my shoulder and went downstairs and walked out.

The wind blew hard at night, coldly, I couldn't help shivering, I felt the slippery droplets on my face, was I crying, I wiped it with my hand.

"It's raining," Daewoo said.

The sudden autumn rain suddenly became heavier, with the moist smell of the riverside, and slapped on us in large drops, forcing us to retreat to the door of the hotel.

"Take a taxi back, take a taxi back!" Xiao Yong's attitude was very resolute.

"I'll run back and get umbrellas for everyone, you just wait for me!" Daewoo rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush out.

"What's the hurry, the rain here comes and goes quickly, let's drink two more bottles of wine, and the rain will naturally stop......" Zhaoyang pinched the empty cigarette case in one hand and carried a beer bottle in the other.

Amid the arguments, the rain and the wind cooperated with us, pouring some leaves in, striking the glass door, squeezing in through the exposed cracks, and then slamming into our trouser legs. Everyone jumped and dodged the leaves, but they also stopped arguing.

At this time, I don't know whether it is a cruise ship or a band playing, from the direction of the Yangtze River, there is a long singing voice from afar, like a trumpet, and like a folk song, long and long, accompanied by wind and rain, like a natural ensemble.

Listening to the faint singing by the riverside, I took off my T-shirt, raised it on my head, rushed into the rain while I was drinking, and ran and ran, Daewoo followed, Xiaoyong also followed, and after a while, Zhaoyang dragged a slightly fat body to follow. We are like leaping swallows, waving our watery wings and plopping forward against the ground.

"In the crowd, there are you and me

Meet, get acquainted, and ponder each other

In the crowd of people, it is you and me

Pretend to be decent and smile

Don't say too much about it, be clear

What the hell are you and I trying to do?

Don't care a lot, and don't be sad

One day you'll understand me..."

On the highway along the river, at night, in the rain, four drunken men, shouting an old song, ran.

The phone rang and I didn't answer until we finished the song together, I slowed down, wiped the water stains off the phone with my T-shirt, and turned it on.

"9 o'clock, Oka Studios, waiting for you. ”

At the moment when the rain dropped, the mobile phone screen flashed a familiar name, yes, it was Xiaoying's WeChat account...
