In the night, which was neither good nor bad, I finished playing the song in a soft mood, then stood the guitar next to my lap and calmed my mood with throat lozenges instead of cigarettes, but Xiao Ai did not come out of the room. Maybe I didn't hear it, maybe I didn't want to come out.

I'm a little lost because I've been learning guitar for so long, not for my own amusement, but for her.

In fact, there is a story behind this song "Drifting Across the Sea to See You". The heroine of the story is called Doll and is an entertainer in Taiwan. In 1990, she fell in love at first sight with a dance teacher from Beijing. In her eyes, the man was excellent. It was an era when Taiwan compatriots could visit the mainland for the first time, but there was no direct flight from Taiwan to Beijing. So in order to see him, every time the doll flew from Taiwan to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to Beijing to see him.

This long-distance relationship was destined to be a bitter love from the beginning, not because of the barrier of the strait, but because the dance teacher already had a wife and children. So the doll finally returned to Taiwan in despair, and since then she has been facing her relationship across the sea. The only souvenir next to her was an unclear black-and-white still of the dance teacher cut from the program.

The love of the doll across the strait made the famous Taiwanese musician Li Zongsheng have the idea of writing a song for her, so he knocked on the side, collected intelligence everywhere, and finally had this classic "Floating Across the Sea to See You".

Thinking back to the melody of the song, I threw another throat candy into my mouth, and then I fell into a state of distraction as I leaned on the guardrail and looked at the neon-studded building in the distance, like two lines of tears......

A moment later, the door on the next balcony opened, and Xiao Ai finally appeared in my sight, she looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on the guitar next to me, and then asked me uncertainly, "You played that song just now?" ”

"Hmm."

I only said one word, and it was ruined, and I seemed to need a cigarette when facing her, so I reluctantly lit a cigarette and looked at her...... She looked me in disbelief and asked, "Do you know how to play the guitar?" ”

"Yes, when I was in Shanghai, I learned from Liu Liu."

She didn't seem to have much mood swing, just nodded and replied, "It's not bad, it's just a little flawed." ”

"I did my best! I have no regrets, because I put all the emotions I want to express in this song......"

This time, Xiao Ai fell silent, and I looked away from her, and then flicked the cigarette ash from my hand...... I thought about something, and I decided not to ask about the past on this night. Because I asked, she wouldn't say that I would look for clues in private, starting from Yuan Zhen's breach of contract and the record company did not pursue responsibility. I'm sure there will be people in the know. Perhaps, as one of the shareholders of the group, Qiu Zi'an knows some inside information.

Come to think of it, this is also a sign of my maturity, and I will no longer be clamoring for a desired result like before. At this moment, I prefer to face her quietly, and then continue this feeling.

I finally extinguished the cigarette in my hand, then picked up the guitar from my lap, handed it to her through the guardrail, and said, "Last time, Yao Yu trampled on your guitar, and you didn't ask for it again, but I sent it to the piano shop, removed some usable parts, and then made this new guitar." If you don't have it around, use it, don't buy it yourself. To be honest, this thing is really expensive! ”

Xiao Ai took the guitar from me, she looked at it, then nodded and said "thank you" to me.

As I looked at her, my heart fluttered, and I remembered the night she gave her body to me. Don't get me wrong, it's not a nonsense, it's just that we used to be so close, but now we live in two rooms, thinking about different things, saying different things, she's duplicitous, I want to say it......

In the gust of night wind, Xiao Ai picked up the guitar, and then gently plucked the strings of the guitar, and played the song again, at first it seemed that it was just to modify my flaws, but in the middle of the section, she was completely involved, and even improvised the adaptation, and I, the only listener, listened to her many emotions very carefully, especially the part she adapted, as if I saw a winter evening, the sky was drifting with snow that could not stop, she wore a thick hat, stepping on the falling snow and dead leaves under her feet, It is very indefinite to walk on a path with trees on only one side......

I know that in the past two years of separation, she has experienced more than I have experienced and thought more!

After she finished playing, I asked her, "How does this guitar feel?" ”

"It's good." After saying that, she said "thank you" to me, which made me feel so strange that I didn't say anything more, and after standing for a while, she went back to her room before me...... I looked at where she had just stood, and once again felt a cigarette on it, and despair crept...... What about quitting smoking?

……

The next day, I got up early in the morning, and then went to the hotel's restaurant to book a most luxurious private room, waiting for Le Yao's arrival. To be honest, although I have been in the "Dream Tree" for nearly two years, this is the first time I have face-to-face contact with a female artist of this level, I am not nervous because of this, I care more about whether she is willing to help her, because I don't know her, and Cao Yang is her brother-in-law, and it should be reasonable for her to favor Cao Yang.

At eleven o'clock at noon, I went to the restaurant with Qiao Ye in advance, according to our prior agreement, Le Yao would arrive at half past eleven, but women don't have a good sense of time, so I was ready to wait until 12 o'clock. I asked the waiter to make a pot of fine Xinyang hair tips, and began to chat with Qiao Ye to pass the time. He asked me, "How's that fucking tulip hotel?" ”

"It's very good, if you want to hold a wedding there, you have to make an appointment half a year in advance, the guest room is also good, and the occupancy rate in the off-season can also reach seventy or eighty percent, maybe when she built it herself, she didn't think there would be such a good performance!"

Qiao Ye smiled and replied: "You are a layman when you say this, businessmen of their level have a bottom in their hearts, don't you know that before the Tulip Hotel opened, it had already signed cooperation agreements with several of the largest wedding companies and travel agencies in Nanjing?" …… Therefore, I think the current performance is also reasonable...... But I just don't know, she has the idea of continuing to make this hotel brand bigger, and then expand to several large cities around it, and we Jiangjian Group can also follow a piece of the pie, the previous cooperation, your mother is still very satisfied, as long as she has the idea of making it bigger, she should also find our group to cooperate. ”

I sighed: "I don't know if she has the idea of becoming bigger, but I think you are becoming more and more businessman's sense of smell, no wonder your father will rest assured that Jiangjian Group will be handed over to you." ”

Qiao Ye suddenly stopped talking, probably thinking of the grievances and hatreds that had occurred around Jiangjian Group over the years. And I was silent for a while, wanting to ask him how to deal with the relationship between Su Han and Qin Miao, but in the end he still didn't speak. Because I know Qiao Ye's character, if he wants to say anything, he will tell me when we met yesterday. The reason why I don't say it is because I haven't completely made up my mind yet. Or rather, no solution has been found to the problem.

After a while, Qiao Ye looked at his watch and said to me, "It's almost 12 o'clock, why hasn't she come yet?" It can't be Qiu Zi'an who deliberately let you pigeon and play with you, right? ”

"No way, he doesn't have to."

Qiao Ye replied in disbelief: "Isn't he quite targeting you, why is there no need for this?" ”

"Chen Yidu has been married to Wang Ze for so long, what's the point of him targeting me?"

"It's also ......" paused, and he said again: "Why don't you call and ask, it's 12 o'clock soon, everyone is very busy, I have to go to Tianjin at two o'clock in the afternoon, you'd better go with me again." ”

I nodded, then took out my phone from my pocket, and was about to call Qiu Zi'an's number when the waiter led a woman to our private room. If you look closely, it's Le Yao...... She herself should be more temperamental and taller than what is shown on TV; looks very down-to-earth, but a little sexy and charming, and what is even more memorable is that she smiles with red lips and white teeth, she is indeed an out-and-out beauty embryo, no wonder Cao Jinfei, a business tycoon, can contain that uninhibited heart!

I hurriedly got up to greet her, and then said to her: "Hello, my name is Jiang Qiao, I am the person who is going to feast you today, Qiu Zi'an should have told you, right?" ”

Le Yao complained: "I don't know why, every time it is related to him, I will definitely have bad luck." Last year, I attended an event with him, and my car had a flat tire on the way. Last month, he was at the reception, and I thought to myself. I'll dress up in disguise, go to the subway to experience the life of a normal person, I won't be late, who knows that I will sit on the subway backwards as soon as I am confused! Today, before I went out, I was on the embankment, and I didn't expect something to happen...... I must have done something immoral to him in my last life, otherwise he wouldn't have restrained me so much in this life! ”

Qiao Ye and I glanced at each other, then smiled and replied, "You are quite humorous!" ”

"I'm not only humorous, but also very straightforward, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell you two strangers about this."

I smiled awkwardly again, thinking that she had the strength of a Beijing girl...... After a little silence, I introduced Qiao Ye to her. Qiao Ye was more talkative than me, and after sitting down, he asked her: "I'm quite curious, I don't know if you have encountered any unfortunate things today, let's be happy when you say it!" ”

Le Yao suddenly glared at Qiao Ye, and then became very sad again, she replied: "I really said this, if you two can still be happy, then you must be beasts." ”

Although it was the first time we met, I felt that I had adapted to her straightforward personality, so I put away my joking thoughts and asked her instead of Qiao Ye: "What can you talk about, it may not be able to help, but it will definitely not be laughing at you...... If we can help, we can't help it. ”

"Not a polite remark?"

I nodded and replied with certainty: "It's really not a polite word, since everyone has the fate to sit and eat together, they are friends." ”

Le Yao's face became a little sad, not at all the way when we first met, it was not at all the way that people could relax when they first met, she whispered to me and Qiao Ye: "A long time ago, I sponsored several children in a poor mountainous area to go to school, and last year, one of the boys suffered from leukemia, so I took him to Beijing for treatment...... But this morning, the nurse at the hospital called me and said he had run away from the hospital. I hurriedly led someone to look for it, and luckily we found it...... I asked him why he wanted to run, and I found out that he couldn't stand the loss of his hair after chemotherapy and felt inferior. He thought that he would grow hair if he left the hospital without treatment, and it was useless for me to persuade him...... I'm afraid I'm still depressed in the hospital right now! ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and then sighed and said: "The children who come out of the mountains are simple, and they simply think that only ruffians and hooligans can be bald, but they can't remember that the bald ones may be monks...... But I have to say sorry to you, I'm late because of this delay, and I'm usually on time. Because I don't think being late is a privilege that women can enjoy. ”

After I said "it's okay", my mind was also on this child, maybe because I was lonely since I was a child, I always couldn't see the children around me suffering, I don't know about it, I have to take care of it.

I then said to Qiao Ye: "Otherwise, we won't go to Tianjin today, and get up early tomorrow...... After eating later, we went to the hospital with Le Yao to see the child who had too many thoughts. ”

Qiao Ye hesitated, but only hesitated, and then said to me: "Okay, then let's go and see that child who has too many ideas." ”

Le Yao replied: "It's useless for you two to go, he doesn't like to see strangers......" After a pause, she said to me again: "I heard Qiu Zi'an say that you found me because of a conflict with Cao Yang, let's talk about it first, what's going on." ”

I nodded and said, "You have to promise me first, let's go meet the child, and then I'll talk to you about me." ”

Le Yao replied a little unhappily: "Hey, you person! Are you begging me, or am I begging you? ”

She didn't rush me, she just smiled and explained: "You misunderstood what I meant, I just think that I may have a way to get him rid of the trouble of baldness, so even if I beg you to take me to give it a try, is that okay?" ”

Le Yao glanced at me and replied, "That's pretty much the same...... Just now, I almost thought that hair was not a good thing, and it was quite threatening! ”
