"May I ask the tour guide, what kind of place is there?" Luo Jiang asked me, pointing to a red building outside.
"Former French Consulate. I replied to him.
He nodded and said to me very seriously: "Miss tour guide, you should take the initiative." “
What do you mean? I remembered that he had kissed me on the cheek just now, and I couldn't help but feel hot.
"Who's the guide?" I muttered.
"Aren't you from Nancheng? Now I'm hiring you to be my tour guide. Luo Jiang smiled evilly and approached my face. "That kiss just now is a tour guide fee, if you want to be too little, I can make up for it. ”
I was so frightened that I hurried to the seat behind him and explained to him the scenery along the way from time to time.
During the lunch break, Luo Jiang said that he was very satisfied with my tour guide service, and decided to continue to hire me as his tour guide in the afternoon, and promised that the tour guide fee would be doubled.
I was terrified.
"No, I can serve for free. ”
"What are you afraid of?" he asked knowingly.
That's not what I want to see.
"I might go to Shanghai. "I started making up lies again.
"How many days?" Luo Jiang asked me, not surprised at all.
"Maybe not coming back. I replied to him.
He was startled, and soon his face was relaxed again.
"Then I'll go to Shanghai too. ”
"You don't ask me why I went to Shanghai?"
"Why?"
"I'm going to marry in Shanghai. ”
He froze, then stood up in exasperation. "You marry?"
"It's true. "While it's still too late, I have to draw a line with him.
"Bring him to me. He sat down with a grimace.
"Good. "When Lin Mai comes back from Shanghai, I will bring him to see Luo Jiang, but do I have to tell Lin Mai that Luo Jiang is Luo Lie's younger brother?
No.
I finally realized what it means to be cocooned.
"Cancel the afternoon tour guide! I'm tired and go back to the dormitory to sleep. Luo Jiang said.
I can't ask for it.
We took a taxi back and took him back to the company dormitory first, looking at him as if he had changed as if he had changed into a different person, listless, although I felt guilty, I was glad that I was sober enough.
I called Lin Mai and said something inconsequential, and I couldn't say what I wanted to say.
"I want to go to Shanghai to find you. I said in a choked voice.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Mai asked me.
"It's okay, I suddenly don't want to stay in the South City. "I almost cried.
"Then you come to Shanghai! I'll help you book a plane ticket." Lin Mai said.
"Thank you. "My tears flowed from my eyes, and he was my safe haven no matter what difficulties I encountered.
Lin Mai helped me book a flight to Shanghai at 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, I came to the airport alone with a backpack, this is the second time I traveled alone, the last time was to find Chen Muye in Syracuse.
As soon as I checked in, I was about to go to the security checkpoint when I met Chen Muye, who had a beard and I almost didn't recognize him.
"Xiaowan, long time no see. He looked at me with a glazed oversight.
"Where are you going?" I asked him, who was dragging a black suitcase and wearing a navy blue trench coat, which felt a bit vicissitudes.
"On a business trip to Beijing, what about you?" he said, holding his boarding pass.
"Shanghai. ”
"Let's go in!" he said.
We went to the security checkpoint separately.
It wasn't long before we met again in the departure hall.
He smiled a little awkwardly. "Find a place to sit!"
He was on an eleven o'clock flight and my flight was about an hour before departure.
I obediently followed him to the nearest café.
He picked a quiet spot.
We don't know where to start, or what kind of topic should we find for such an unguarded reunion?
"Rollie is back. After a while, he said, sipping his coffee.
"I heard. "I looked carefully at Chen Muye in front of me, he can no longer see the confidence and vitality of the past, I feel a little heartache, the first time I saw it, we were full of simple and beautiful imagination of the world.
"She's changed a lot, she's not very talkative, and yesterday I took her on the train back to her hometown, and she said she wanted to see her mom and her brother. ”
I was speechless, Mother Luo was gone, she would definitely be heartbroken.
Then, she will find Luo Jiang soon, and after Luo Jiang knows everything, will she hate me?
I'm still staying in Shanghai and not going back to Nancheng.
"We're going to get married. Chen Muye continued.
I was relieved.
"Congratulations. I said.
It's sincere.
He seems to be less restrained, he looks in a good mood, he knew that this would be the result, why should we be stupid in the first place?
He talked to me a little bit about his work, and he said that he often travels for business, and sometimes he feels tired, but he also finds it interesting to be able to keep going to other places to meet different people or things, and the rental house has been repossessed and is ready to be renovated.
"Say hello to your parents for me. "It's almost time, I'm ready to get up.
"Thank you. ”
"Goodbye. I said.
"Goodbye. He didn't get up and continued to sit and drink coffee.
This is probably the best ending for me and him.
No longer accusing each other, no longer resenting each other, just like ordinary friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, chatting about trivial things, and being as relaxed as a breeze.
Will Luo Lie be heartbroken or will he regret finding Luo Jiang for life and then compensating him well, I suddenly don't care so much.
"Why don't you come again?" Lin Mai was stunned when he heard me say that I was not going to Shanghai on the other end of the phone.
"I'm still waiting for you to come back in Nancheng. I laughed.
Lin Mai was disappointed. "I was going to wait for you to come, have a good time with you for a few days, and then go back to Nancheng. ”
I'm disappointed in myself, too.
"I'm sorry. "I sincerely apologize to him.
"It doesn't matter. There will be a chance in the future. "Lin Mai won't bother with me.
Sometimes, I am too domineering in front of him, and I don't know how to restrain myself at all, and now it is even worse, Qin Wan, do you regard him as a brother or someone you like?
"When you come back to Nancheng, let's plan a trip together!"
"Really?"
"Of course. ”
"I want to go to Antarctica to see penguins. ”
"Good. ”
"I'm kidding. ”
"But I also want to go to Antarctica to see penguins. ”
"Then let's plan well. ”
。。。。。。
Coming out of the airport, I looked at the time, Chen Muye's flight was about to take off.
I don't know if Luo Lie has arrived in front of Luo's mother's grave at this time.
I decided to go to Luo Jiang, instead of passively waiting, I should take the initiative to confess everything to him, I think maybe he will forgive me.
Luo Jiang said that he had to work overtime and didn't have time to see me, and I guess he just avoided it.
"I'm alone. I said.
He let out a laugh.
"I asked Ah Huan, and she said that you have never had a boyfriend. ”
I was stunned and forgot to inform Ah Huan in advance to cooperate with me.
"Yes, I admit I lied to you. ”
"Tell me, how many times have you lied to me?"
From the beginning to the end, my identity was fake, and I had been lying to him, and I was going to tell him that? I'm a little timid.
He joined the army before finishing college, and he did not understand the cruelty of social reality, and the story of being cheated when looking for a job was the first lesson, if I told him again that I had been lying to him, would he go crazy? Since then, the sinister heart of the human heart has been ingrained in his heart.
I'm going crazy.
"Don't talk about it, I know you're not my sister's friend, and my sister hasn't gone abroad, so you shouldn't really kill my sister, right?" Luo Jiang began to imagine again.
"Don't think about it, your sister will be coming to you soon. I said.
He must have been surprised.
"Did you see her? Is she in Nancheng too?"
"You wait patiently for a few days. ”
"My mom is gone, and I don't want to see her. ”
"Don't be like this, now you are the closest people in the world. In the future, we must depend on each other. Saying that, my tears flowed out, Ah Hei was right to refuse to forgive me, Xiaofeng's parents should also hate me for the rest of their lives, if they didn't know me, Xiaofeng would still be alive and happy.
"Long-winded, I'm going to work, so I won't tell you. After speaking, Luo Jiang hung up the phone.
Why do I think he seems to be looking forward to the appearance of List, after all, he is a brother and sister!
I didn't see Luo Jiang, I didn't have the opportunity to explain everything to him, I could only resign myself to fate.
I went to a flower shop and picked up some flowers to visit Xiaofeng's cemetery, but I didn't know what flowers Xiaofeng liked, and the owner asked me who I planned to give flowers to, and I said I would give them to a best friend.
"I don't know what flowers she likes. I said.
The owner is a very enthusiastic middle-aged woman, and she asked me to describe what kind of person Xiaofeng is.
"She is small, very delicate, she is a talented woman, and her articles are very impressive. She has a boyfriend who loves her very much, and the two are getting married, but my friend has an accident and dies. I told the owner.
The owner was surprised.
"It's a shame to be so young. "The owner carefully tied a nice bouquet of flowers for me. "Hopefully she'll like the flowers I chose. ”
I took the bouquet and paid for it and thanked the owner.
Xiaofeng's graveyard is in the northernmost part of the southern city, deep in a large forest, where it is quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where she can continue to write more beautiful and moving words, including the lyrics to Ah Hei, of course.
"It would be nice if I could meet Ahei. "I told Xiaofeng that Xiaofeng was smiling brightly in the photo, and a bouquet of bright red roses was placed under her photo.
"It's Hei who has been here, right?" I asked Xiaofeng.
The only thing that answered me was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
