After Xiao Ai left, I stood at the door of the "Ade Hotel" for a while before walking in, Ade sat quietly on the office chair behind the bar, and a song of Faye Wong's "Dream Man" was playing in the two square speakers in his hand, the rhythm was very cheerful, and the lyrics were incomprehensible.

"Ah Qiao, the girl you are looking for is her roar?"

I stopped and asked him in some surprise, "Do you know each other?" ”

"I know her, and she certainly doesn't know me."

I was even more curious: "Is she famous at Shih-Hsin University?" ”

Ade nodded heavily, then gave me a thumbs up and replied, "She is so famous, many students now ask her to learn musical instruments, and they have to make an appointment in advance, but they are mainly male students!" ”

I was more interested, so I asked, "Tell me what's going on?" ”

Ade replied: "You don't know, at the recent anniversary celebration of Shih-Hsin University, she was a guest performer, and she played 6 kinds of musical instruments by herself, and her skills were amazing, and she was so beautiful, of course everyone liked her, especially the male students, who regarded her as the goddess in their hearts." ”

Speaking of this, Ade shrugged his shoulders and said, "But she's a little cold, except for her classmates who are learning musical instruments with her, she doesn't pay attention to anyone else talking to her...... I didn't expect it to be your friend! Looks like it's good to you. ”

Ade's words reminded me of Xiao Ai who was still studying at the "Nanjing University of the Arts", I thought she had changed, but in fact, she had not changed, and the aura she had brought on her body had not diminished in the slightest. Therefore, even if she came to Taipei across the ocean and had a nickname for Ruan Ruyi, she was still the Xiao Ai who was a little arrogant, but a little good to me.

……

When night came, I sat on the only emotional balcony of the "Ade Hotel" and smoked a cigarette, while the other hand held the blue guitar that Xiao Ai gave me, wiping it with a clean cloth......

Ade got me a fruit bowl, and then looked at the girls' dormitory in the distance with that awesome high-powered telescope, he was still waiting for Lin Ziqing, although today was not the day when Lin Ziqing would wash clothes.

In the moonlight, I saw a very high-level loneliness in Adena's fat back, and in this loneliness, he was not sad or sad, but he had a deep crush on the schoolgirl named Lin Ziqing, and enjoyed the nights when he could see her through a telescope, and that was enough for him!

I took advantage of my clear mind and made a reflection, I used to love the woman called Chen Yi so much, although I didn't have a telescope with such a sense of technology, but I also sat in the "mood coffee shop" countless times waiting for her to pass by, thinking that it was the happiest day in my life.

Now the "Mood Coffee Shop" is gone, and the woman who is close to me has also changed from Chen Yi to Xiao Ai...... Everything in the world is changing, but the feeling has never changed, and we are so sad or happy or secretly nostalgic because of these feelings like a stroke of God!

It turns out that Chen Yi and I are both wrong people and have done wrong things, but those high-level feelings are right, it makes us love deeply, and we also have heart-rending pain!

I extinguished the cigarette in my hand and wiped the blue guitar more carefully......

After a while, Ade came over, he was very interested in my past with Xiao Ai, and I impromptu told him about the experience of meeting Xiao Ai, and emphasized that there was no relationship between me and Xiao Ai beyond friends.

Ade stared at me for a long time before he said, "Aqiao roared...... I think there must be a woman between you and Ruyi, this woman is something you dare not forget in your life, so there is such a perfect girl as Ruyi, who has done so many things for you, you don't dare to admit that she is your girlfriend...... Let me say something ugly, in fact, there is no point in you coming to Taipei this time, she will not go back with you! ”

I smiled bitterly, and subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette again, but I couldn't help it, just pinched my chin, and replied in a Taiwanese accent: "Ade, can you leave some room for your brother to speak...... I'm actually very vulnerable! ”

Ade shook his head with a stern expression, and then repeated the words "She won't go back with you".

I was a little sad in the night, and I didn't want to talk too deeply about the relationship with Ade, so I changed the topic and talked about Xiao Ai's nickname. Ade told me that families in Taiwan usually give their children a very auspicious nickname, so there is nothing to make a fuss about with a name like Ruyi.

I smiled, in fact, I didn't make a fuss, I was just a little addicted to the name "Ruyi", and I wished I could shout it a thousand times and ten thousand times in front of her, and then we were all satisfied!

As the night deepened, Ade took Xiao Ai's guitar from me, he held a Nanjing cigarette, and with a pluck of the strings with his fingers, a prelude to "Small Town Girl" was performed, and he sang in a woody voice......

It turns out that this Ade, who doesn't seem to be able to do anything, still has such talents, but I don't know if he has shown such talents to Lin Ziqing.

I wish there were, because love really wasn't bought by voyeurism like his!

……

I sat up from the bed in a daze, and then turned off the night light next to the bed, the sun hung next to the mountains outside the window, and I imagined how it would glow warmly at noon, and according to last night's agreement, Xiao Ai would come to the "Ade Hotel" at this time to find me.

It seems to be a very deliberate arrangement, Xiao Ai actually came to the "Ade Hotel" at about the same time as Lin Ziqing, who was thinking about Ade, Lin Ziqing was to fulfill his promise to invite Ade to dinner, and Xiao Ai was to fulfill his promise to accompany me to Hualien to see the sea.

In a restaurant near Shih-Hsin University, Ah De and I sat on one side, Xiao Ai and Lin Ziqing sat on the side, with a few plates of side dishes and a few bottles of Taiwanese beer in front of us.

I had the heart to match Ade and Lin Ziqing, so I was the first to raise the beer and said: "Some people say that 500 times of looking back in the past life can be exchanged for a passing in this life, how much fate we can sit at the same table to eat, so let's leave a contact information for each other, and we will be friends in the future." ”

Lin Ziqing did not refuse, she gave her mobile phone number to Ade, Xiao Ai also exchanged mobile phone numbers with Ade and Lin Ziqing, but I don't have a mobile phone, my mobile phone was taken away by the thief as early as the day I first came to Taipei!

I carefully copied the mobile phone numbers of several people on a napkin and put them in my pocket.

I drank the beer from my cup, and I thought to myself: during the time when I lost my phone, would anyone be anxious because they couldn't reach me?

I don't think so, because I actually don't have a sense of zài in my circle of friends, everyone seems to be willing to measure a person by material, among my friends, some people drive Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and some have a good family background, just got married and lived in the villa prepared by their parents, so every time there is a class reunion, these people can talk the most, and I am not very good, I am always used to staying in the corner to smoke or drink, and then I don't have a temper to watch them blow to the gods!

So, in this tone, who cares about my Jiangqiao?

……

On the train from Taipei to Hualien, the scenery of green mountains and blue sky flashed outside the window, and I leaned in to watch, so I almost faced Xiao Ai who was sitting by the window.

My heart was a little throbbing and a little nervous, because I knew very well that after the end of this stop in Hualien, I would have no reason to stay in Taiwan anymore, because I was born and raised in Nanjing, and I needed to go back there to start a business and build my own family, and no matter how beautiful Taiwan is, it is only a stop in my life, and its significance will not be greater than that of Lijiang, a place I have been to.

Xiao Ai's mobile phone was placed on the desktop in front of the seat, and the pendant in the shape of the ancient bridge was buckled on it, and she protected it very well, without any stains.

During the journey, neither of us spoke, and in my memory, when we were together, we had never experienced such a long silence, which gave me the illusion that it was not her Xiao Ai or Ruyi sitting next to me, but just a woman full of strangeness, but her gestures were full of familiar memories for me.

……

This is the first time I have seen the sea of Taiwan, Xiao Ai and I are facing the sun before dusk, standing on the scenery of the Qingshui Cliff, the sun here is very strong, so we are all wearing sunglasses, and the warm wind with the smell of sea water blows past us in bursts, blowing her shawl and blowing my hair......

At the moment before dusk, she finally said to me in the voice of the surging tide: "Jiangqiao, standing here on the Qingshui Cliff, you will see the best sea view in the whole of Taiwan...... Facing the green mountains and the sea, you tell me, do you have any regrets when you return to Nanjing from Taiwan this time? ”

I turned my head to look at her, under the cover of my sunglasses, I couldn't see all of her expressions, but her skin was really fair, and her side face was also very beautiful, and I wanted to take her out of this place that maybe didn't belong to her, but there was always one less point to motivate myself to speak.

"Whoa...... Wow...... The tide was surging beside the reef under our feet, the sea breeze seemed to blow away the sunset, the sky was getting darker, and I saw many tourists sitting in the food stalls enjoying the delicious seafood under the lights in the distance, which made us seem a little lonely away from the crowd.

My breath was a little short, and I subconsciously took another step towards her, then lit a cigarette and replied with a smile, "Can you sit down and talk to me?" ”

Xiao Ai glanced at me, then sat down next to me, and the next moment, I also sat on a somewhat damp reef, and my vision became extremely unopen as I sat down like this, so the tourists who were eating, drinking and having fun in the distance also disappeared from my sight, and the world was so lonely that only Xiao Ai and I were left!

I stretched out the hand that Xiao Ai often called a claw, and then took her into my arms, I didn't want to talk so much, and I couldn't remember the irritating food, clothing, housing, birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, I only felt that I took Xiao Ai completely dissolved into the boundless sea in front of me, and the end of the sea extended, and then through the plains and mountains, is our other hometown...... Nanking.

There's Tulip Road, old alleys, sweet corn, and a crowded city subway!

At this moment, they must all miss me and Xiao Ai in a foreign land.
