Saying goodbye to the old five at the highway entrance, a group of four of us rushed to the airport non-stop, time is still relatively tight for us, and Belgium is just a stop for us, I will rush to Rome, Italy as soon as possible. Only the trevi fountain there and the tombstones in the small Irish town give me a glimmer of hope.

It's a strange feeling to think about it, why is my hope at the Trevi Fountain on one side and in front of the tombstone on the other?

It's a question that can't be explored in depth, and it all comes down to fate. Yes, I would rather believe that this is fate, because only fate has the ability to turn a small probability of an event into reality.

It took another hour for us to finally arrive at the airport, Qiao Ye's driver returned to Nanjing, and the three of us stood at the entrance of the terminal, as if there was a tacit understanding, no one was in a hurry to get in, but looked at it more.

I don't know how they feel at the moment, but I have two very different feelings in my heart, behind me is the blue sky and white clouds, reflected on the glass wall, like hope on the ground. But looking at the people in front of me, who were hurrying and coming and going, there was no sound except the announcement at the airport and the rattle of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground. No one speaks, no one communicates. Those empty eyes and hurried steps instantly made me feel helpless and frightened, and I was a little flustered......

I hurriedly took out a throat candy and put it in my mouth, and then tilted my head and said a few words to Qiao Ye beside me, when he replied in a humorous way, I believed that everyone is not a walking corpse, we all rush to another city with a purpose, and Shanghai or Nanjing, even if there are more imprints engraved on us, after all, they are only the cities of the past.

After standing for about a minute, I was the first of the three to push my luggage into the airport, then I got my boarding pass, checked my luggage, and finally sat in the departure hall, waiting for my flight to take off in a few moments.

In the process, I sent a WeChat message to Liu Liu, and I didn't directly explain my intentions, but indirectly asked him: "Are you and Yao Yu still in Ireland?" ”

Ireland has an eight-hour time difference with China, so it's not dawn yet, and if he were there, he probably wouldn't have replied at this point in time. So, I put my phone back in my pocket and looked through the glass and into the tarmac...... Although it has been half a month since Xiao Ai left, I still feel uncontrollable, I just want to find her as soon as possible and then take her back to China. As for the future, I believe there will always be a way for us to go.

In a distraction, the mobile phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket, and it turned out to be Liu Liu who replied to my message: "Here, what's wrong?" ”

"Is it me, why do you get up so early?"

Liu Liu replied with a voice message, he laughed loudly, and then said: "Jiang Qiao, we have been working together for more than a year, and you still don't know me so well, I must have played all night in this situation...... Say, what's the matter with you? ”

After confirming that he was still in Ireland, I replied truthfully: "On my side, I don't have more time to apply for an Irish visa, so I want to ask you for a favor, I think Xiao Ai will definitely go to worship Yuan Zhen this time, if you can meet her, you must help me tell her that I am looking for her all over the world, and I want to marry her...... I don't want to let her down again in my life! ”

This time, Liu Liu replied after a while: "I'm not surprised that you can say these words, but what about Jin Qiu, we have all seen her dedication to you in the past few years......"

I stared at my phone for a moment, and I couldn't help but think of the past two years between myself and Jin Qiu. If she really has a male and female affection for me in her heart, then I must have failed her. If not, who of us has failed whom?

My career in Nanjing has been given to her free of charge, and she herself has once again reached the peak of her life with the help of the brand "Dream Tree". In her career, she is more successful than before. But behind the success, no one knows whether she enjoys it or not, she is such a character, like a deep sea that you dare not explore.

Over the years, I have often felt lonely, and I have more or less expressed my hatred for loneliness, but Jin Qiu may be more lonely than me, her heart is closed, and her style of acting makes it impossible for people to keep a close distance from her.

After thinking about it for a while, I replied to Liu Liu: "There is no one who owes anyone between me and Jin Qiu, there is more of a cooperative relationship between us, although I don't want to think so, but the result is like this...... Liu Liu, we have known each other for several years, whether you regard me Jiangqiao as a brother in your heart or not, I beg you to help with this...... If you have a chance to meet her over there, be sure to bring my words with you. ”

This time, Liu Liu quickly replied to the message: "I can help you with this favor, but you have to retract what you just said, especially what bullshit partnership, I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks so...... Jiang Qiao, to be honest, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, if you hadn't come to Shanghai to develop, there would be no Liu Liu today, but I really didn't treat you as a brother, because there are things in you that I don't look down on......"

Liu Liu's words made me feel sad for a while, it turned out that those days when everyone drank and talked together were not heart-to-heart. I looked down at the information for a long time and didn't say anything more in the end, because I didn't think it was something that could be explained. What's more, there is something wrong with me, because no matter how many mouths I have to explain, it can't change the fact that I unilaterally tore up the marriage contract......

I can't forget how old Jin looked after knowing this, I thought he would scold me severely, or even beat me, but he only said "You have no conscience", and then he never entangled with me again......

I swear, it was one of the most painful moments of my life, but I had no choice, I had to.

After a while, Liu Liu saw that I didn't reply to the message, he sent another voice message, this time his tone was much softened, and he said: "Jiang Qiao, my buddy was a little rushed to speak just now, don't take it to heart...... Calm down and think about it carefully, this kind of thing may not be handled better than you when it comes to us...... Forget it, let's eat some melon-eating people, it doesn't make sense to say more, it's you parties who should care...... Also, if you ask me for help, don't worry, I'll keep it in mind. As soon as I have news from here, I will contact you as soon as possible...... However, you have to be mentally prepared yourself, because it is likely that Yao Yu and I have already been in this town before she arrived. We saw a bouquet of fresh flowers in front of Yuan Zhen's tombstone, and it is very likely that she put ......"

This was an extremely important piece of information, and I hurriedly asked, "What flower?" ”

"It's like a yellow tulip."

My brain was instantly electrified. Of course, I will never forget that I once gave her a bouquet of yellow tulips at a concert in Beijing, and the flower language represents desperate love. In this way, the person who sent the flowers to the tombstone is undoubtedly her. She actually brought her despair to Yuan Zhen's tombstone...... She must have been injured at that time, so she chose to stay away.

At this moment, I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and then in this complicated mood, I looked at the road to the future, and I still felt that it was a rough road.

After another few moments, the airport radio finally broadcast the boarding prompt, and my life was divided into two parts at this moment. For me, this is a new starting point in life, Xiao Ai is a coordinate, and her body has all the happiness I can think of in the second half of my life.

……

After a 12-hour flight, we finally arrived in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. After leaving the airport, we took a taxi to the busiest part of the city. As we agreed beforehand, we will spend the day in Belgium and will not go to Rome until tomorrow evening.

It was the first time in my life that I went abroad, and looking out the car window at the Gothic buildings in front of me, I was not particularly excited, but on the contrary, I gained an alternative peace.

Before I came, I imagined that all European countries were very prosperous, but the largest city in Belgium in front of me was not more than a second compared to Nanjing, where I lived, but it had a distinct personality, there were young men riding big motorcycles and homeless people wandering under the blue sky and white clouds, they were like colorful pens, outlining the appearance of the city in my mind.

About 20 minutes later, we came to the hotel booked in advance, the boss and waiter treated Chinese very warm, Qiao Ye generously gave them a lot of tips, and then said to me, who didn't know anything: "Chinese is very respected in this country, because their livelihood is very dependent on Chinese tourists, in fact, the so-called European countries, not every developed, Belgium is quite backward, otherwise the airport will not set up a special line in China to make Chinese money......"

Sure enough, the boss came to greet me very warmly, I didn't understand anything, nodded and smiled, and then took out the pre-exchanged euros from his wallet and gave him five euros.

His happiness was written on his face, and then he said a lot to me, and I was in a fog when I listened.

At this time, among the three, Qin Miao, the most educated, said to me: "The boss said that he would invite us to drink beer in the evening, and the sausages made by his wife are also a must, and ask you if you are looking forward to staying in his small hotel?" ”

I said to Qin Miao, who was acting as a translator, "Can the beer here get people drunk?" ”

Qin Miao smiled and replied: "Belgian beer can be said to be the most famous in the world, whether you can get drunk or not depends on the amount of alcohol you drink, but I think you will definitely get drunk, because if you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk!" ”

"Then tell him I'm looking forward to the evening beer."

Qin Miao stretched out his hand to me and replied, "Give a tip." ”

I took out ten euros from my wallet and handed it to Qin Miao, but Qin Miao put it in his pocket by himself, and then conveyed my words to the boss. Then he said to me, "From now on, every time I help you translate, you have to tip me, which is called following the local customs!" ”

I squeezed and said, "The wallet is all for you, do you want it?" ”

Qin Miao reached out to take it, but I quickly stuffed the wallet into my pocket, and then pinned Qin Miao behind me, not giving her a chance to touch the wallet. She laughed and scolded me a few times, and this kind of joke made the atmosphere between us instantly lighten up a lot...... I think this should be deliberately created by Qin Miao, for the three of us, she is the one who wants to be happy the most.

When we paid the room fee, the boss gave us a discount of 20 euros, for the simple reason that Qin Miao was very beautiful. Qin Miao reciprocated by tipping him 50 euros, and the friendship between us was established in the process of giving and going, and I also experienced the joy of traveling. I began to become more optimistic, and I looked forward to meeting Xiao Ai in this atmosphere and mood.

I think, there is nothing better than this, I also hope that one day, I don't need Qin Miao's translation, Xiao Ai around me will do everything for me, and there will be such a boss, who is particularly discerning, and will give a discount of 30 euros because of Xiao Ai's beauty.

Yes, in my heart, Xiao Ai is of course more beautiful than Qin Miao!
