After Qiao Ye said this exclamation, he also lit a cigarette with me, although we and the man named Yuan Zhen were never in the same boat, but his unexpected death also gave us a lot of reflection, let us reflect on how to live, in order to make it more meaningful than the one hundred brought by death.

For the rest of the time, Qiao Ye and I didn't talk anymore, and the night completely engulfed the tulip road where we were, but the "Tulip Hotel" not far away was more brilliant and brighter than the day because of the flow of lights.

Or, we can live like a cat, a key that has fallen on the ground, and we can play with it while we can have a happy day.

Or, a lifetime only needs to be condensed into a moment when a meteor crosses the sky, although the splendor is followed by destruction, but the scattered is a beautiful life.

I looked up and looked at the boundless sky, which seemed to be about to be pierced by tall buildings. I finally extinguished the cigarette in my hand and said to Qiao Ye: "Your part of the funds should be left in the dream tree...... Don't embarrass me, and don't embarrass everyone. ”

Qiao Ye looked up at me, and only replied after a while: "Since you want to be free so much, I won't do these superfluous things, you can rest assured to pursue the life you want at this stage, and I will carry the dream tree." ”

I nodded, glad that the "dream tree" at the moment is still showing an upward trend, and it can also meet the needs of many people for **, so I will retire when I retire, so that I don't have to leave with the image of falling into a well.

……

After parting ways with Qiao Ye on Tulip Road, I went back to my apartment, and I called a friend I met at Dream Tree last year who works as a real estate agent in Lianyungang, and asked him about the market for the sea view house over there.

He told me that it is most cost-effective to invest before the tourist season arrives; In addition, he told me that his agency currently has two suitable properties on hand and can show me the property as soon as I go.

After finishing the call with this friend, I didn't immediately wash up and rest, but made a pot of hot tea and sat in the yard drinking it while thinking about something.

I don't know if it's because I have too much money now, or if there are some other reasons, but when I look back on those difficult days in the past, I always feel a little vague, and some things don't seem like I have experienced them myself. For example, the years that I spent with Zhao Mu and Zhao Chu, if it weren't for the fact that time had gone too far and some regrets could not be made up, I would definitely let Zhao Chu live the best life.

After drinking a pot of tea, I raised my hand and looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the night, according to the pre-determined process, the concert should be nearing the end, I couldn't help but think about it again, the pomp and circumstance of tonight......

It's not my exaggeration to say that it was a grand occasion, because in the days when Xiao Ai disappeared, she had already been popular on the Internet for a while because of her performance at the music festival with Yuan Zhen. Therefore, this time, their company also set the focus of publicity on this old matter, coupled with the momentum of Lao Wu and some other musicians in Shanghai, so the concert scene must be hot......

And just when I was thinking about this, Lao Wu sent me a few small videos of the concert scene through WeChat, but I didn't click on it to watch it, because I didn't want this night to be too uncomfortable for me.

I just wish her a brilliant artistic career after this.

……

When the night came, I took the teapot and other utensils back into the house, and when I was about to wash and sleep, I received a message from Yang Jin, she asked me: "Listen to Yang Qu, you have withdrawn from the dream tree, do you already have any new ideas for the future?" ”

"I don't have any special ideas, just going to make a small investment and then overdo it."

A moment later, Yang Jin replied to my message, she, like most mothers, was worried about my life, and she asked me again, "If you don't mind, you can talk to me in detail." ”

"It's all small investments that aren't worth mentioning, so there's no need to talk about it...... By the way, I can get a sum of money for withdrawing from Dream Tree, you give me an account number, and I will send you the money I owed before. ”

This time, Yang Jin's message replied quickly, she said: "I'm not in a hurry to use this money, you can use it to do something you like." ”

"No, for more than a year, this is like a mountain pressing on me, and now I can pay back this money, I don't think there is anything more important than this......" After typing this line, I stopped, and then continued to use the virtual mobile phone keyboard to type out a paragraph that I had been trying to say in my heart, but I felt unspeakable.

"Whether I like to admit it or not, I have benefited from you being my mother...... If an ordinary person encounters a fire in a piano shop, I'm afraid that the whole life is over. I clearly understand that the reason why I have been able to come out of the shadows and do what I like in the past two years is thanks to you behind my back, so it's time for me to learn to manage my own life. I am confident that the connections I have accumulated in the dream tree over the years will allow me to live without worrying about food and clothing. ”

"I have no objection to your idea...... In this way, I will take a break from this money, and you can return it to me in person. ”

"Okay."

……

The next morning, I received a transfer reminder from the bank, I received 2 million from the Dream Tree, I transferred the money to my other account, and then drove to Lianyungang.

After arriving in Lianyungang, I immediately went to the owner of the real estate agency I called Master Kong. He invited me to eat in a small fishing village near Liandao, and the house I was going to buy was in the resort called Gold Coast next door to the fishing village.

During the meal, I chatted with Master Kong about the sea-view house I wanted to buy, and he said to me: "Jiangqiao, since we hit it off at Dream Tree, I have regarded you as my own person in my heart, so I will also give you a little advice about buying a house." If you have a lot of cash, I recommend you buy two sets together, because it's really cost-effective, and the two apartments are next to each other, if you don't want to live in a small apartment, you can open up both sides and change it into a large one...... When you don't want to live there, I can rent it out for you...... You can rest assured, I will never charge you a penny of commission and intermediary fees, just as a help between friends. ”

I nodded, and then smiled and said to Master Kong, who had retro oil hair, "Since I came here from Nanjing, I will definitely invest in buying a house here...... After we're done, you'll take me over to see the two suites. However, let's say in advance, if I really decide to buy, you must collect the money that should be charged, this is my principle of life. ”

At about one o'clock, I arrived at the Gold Coast Resort with a well-fed Master Kong, because it was not the peak season for tourism, so it was a little deserted inside, but this was what I wanted, and I would definitely not stay here until the peak season.

Standing in one of the sea-view houses for sale, looking at the raging sea not far away, my heart has a sense of stability, and I feel that this is the harbor I want to dock for the time being.

As you can imagine, walking along the beach every morning, sitting on the reef at dusk listening to the sounds of seabirds, and drinking a can of beer.

After a short while, I said to Master Kong, who was waiting for my reply, "I want these two suites...... If I can pay the full amount, when will I get my house at the earliest? ”

"The landlord is in Lianyungang, you can sign the sale and purchase agreement this afternoon, and then give you the key first, and you can move in at night."

I nodded, glad I had such a helpful friend by my side...... Personally, I don't think these two houses will be bought at a loss, because when the tourist season comes, they can also be rented out as hotel apartments at a high price...... At this stage, I really like this type of investment.

When a person has enough cash in his hand, he is not likely to look ahead and backward in doing things, so in the afternoon, I did the things I was going to buy a house in Lianyungang, and then drove to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities and bedding. In the evening, I invited Master Kong and a few of his friends to a seaside fishing village to have a seafood meal, which was also a celebration of my purchase of a house.

……

After drinking, I walked alone onto the concrete road built next to the island. In the distance, all I could see was a lighthouse with flashes of light. After walking for a while, I lay on the guardrail that separates the road from the reef, held my phone to my chest, recorded the sound of the waves, and then shouted at the sea to release the unhappiness that had accumulated in my heart......

After a release, I lit the last cigarette in my cigarette case facing the sea. Gradually, my heart stopped worrying, and I stopped thinking about those trivial things. And my friends are also very face-saving, and none of them disturb me by phone calls on such a vast night because of the presence of the sea......

At some point, I was surrounded by a teenager with a white garbage bag in his hand, ready to throw it into the sea under the guardrail.

I grabbed his hand and said, "Kid, don't throw these things into the sea, they will damage the marine environment!" ”

The child looked at me in horror as he withdrew his hand......

The child must have had a background, so I looked behind me, and sure enough, there was a seafood restaurant called Little Tangerine that opened on the beach. And at the same time as I stopped the child, a young girl in red was standing under an unfolded parasol and looking at me, with a mop in her hand, as if she had just been cleaning.

I looked at her, and suddenly I had a wonderful feeling, because after being far away from the high-rise buildings of the metropolis, I suddenly saw a girl in this small fishing village, and I wondered what she looked like......

At this moment, because this distance is not far but not close, I really can't see her clearly!
