After knowing that Xiao Ai's mobile phone was turned off, I hurriedly came to the room where she lived as fast as I could, and knocked on the door several times in a row, but there was no response. turned back to the service desk and asked the waiter, only to learn that since 10 o'clock in the morning, the room where Xiao Ai lived had not used the room card to get electricity. In other words, Xiao Ai has not returned to the hotel since he left in the morning.

I went to the coffee shop again, ignoring that Ji Xiaowei was singing to the customers on stage, holding down his guitar and asking anxiously: "Is Xiao Airen still in Yangzhou?"

"It should be there, didn't she go back to the hotel?"

"No, the phone is turned off as well."

Ji Xiaowei looked at me with a very strange look, and replied for a while: "Is this thing worth your fuss?"

"No, I" I was anxious, and I couldn't organize it for a while, and I couldn't tell Ji Xiaowei what it meant that she couldn't contact Xiao Ai, if she had already returned to Nanjing with a false shot, she would make a fuss at Mr. Xiao's wedding tomorrow, and it would not only be Mr. Xiao and Li Zishan who would be embarrassed, but also the life of the wedding company.

This is not alarmist, because Jin Qiu intends to use this wedding as a model to publicize the new wedding company that is about to start a strategic shift, if this wedding is ruined, not only will it lose money, but the damage caused to the company's reputation is even more difficult to assess.

At this time, Ji Xiaowei said to me again: "She likes to turn off her mobile phone and go to the bar to drink when she is in a bad mood, if you are in a hurry to find her, go to the bar street over there to have a look, eighty percent is there." ”

My nervousness was slightly relieved, and I didn't have time to say anything more to Ji Xiaowei, so I turned around and walked outside the coffee shop, only to hear Ji Xiaowei shouting at me again: "Jiang Qiao, if you can't find her in the bar, just call me, and I'll go with you to find her." ”

"Hmm."

Out of Dongguan Street, I immediately drove towards Bar Street, and after 20 minutes I arrived at Bar Street, and then began to look for houses. At the moment, it was the best time for pub business, and I wasn't sure if I missed Xiao Ai in the crowd, but I did search the whole street for bars.

I would like to believe that Xiao Ai kept his promise and stayed in Yangzhou, so I took out my mobile phone again, opened the mobile phone map to check the bars except for Bar Street, and then wrote down all the addresses, if I still can't find her, I can really only trouble Ji Xiaowei and me to find it together.

In the deep darkness of the night, I looked back and forth on both sides of the street, waiting for an empty taxi to pass by, but there were so many people in the same need on this street that the taxi had already taken the young men and women who were rotten in this bar street before it even arrived at me.

I couldn't contain my eagerness, and walked to the end of Bar Street, ready to wait for the bus on another slightly deserted road, but I was surprised to find that the desertion here was just an illusion. On this road, there are actually several unique Qing bars, and the quietness here is in stark contrast to the singing and dancing of the bar street, but there are still some popularity

Hope burned in my heart again, so I stepped on the yellowish glimmer of the old street lamps and walked into the first Qing bar on this street.

There weren't many people drinking in the bar, and I did find Xiao Ai in a corner, sitting on a carved wooden chair drinking beer. She drank very violently, as if she wished to soak her ** in wine to relieve her hatred.

I'm a little sad, she hates Li Zishan, but it's her own ** who is tormented, God knows what she will be drunk like if she drinks like this, and what kind of sin she will suffer in a hangover tomorrow.

I sat down across from her, and then took all the beers on the table to my side, and she looked at me a little confused, and asked, "How did you find here?"

"Don't drink like this, it's very hurtful"

"I only know that the more you drink, the warmer you get, don't you know how cold the nights have been lately," she said, picking up the bottle again and drinking the rest of the wine inside.

In the bar, the smell of sandalwood makes people very calm, but Xiao Ai's anxiety has all been shown on her face, she looked at the red scented candle on the bar counter in a gloomy manner, as if what she saw in that illusion was the picture of Li Zishan and her father's marriage tomorrow

I felt a little unbearable in my heart, and even felt that I was a little excessive. I always told her that she shouldn't go to the wedding to make Li Zishan look bad, but I ignored that she was actually a girl with a very strong personality. In this obvious injustice, her anger can burn a flame, but she endures it for the sake of her promise to me

I finally said to her, "Stop drinking, go back and rest." ”

She didn't pay attention to me at all, and after taking my hand away, she drank another half bottle of beer in one go, and then said to me: "I want to drink more, it's best to get drunk all night and wait for a day, and when I wake up, those troublesome things will pass, hehe, isn't this what you and your friend want the most, so, don't pretend to persuade me, take you to find a pastime in me and accompany me to have a good drink."

"How could I find amusement in you?"

"Yes, you will not be me looking for amusement in you, in my eyes, you are a poor creature who is more unhappy than me, and I have the confidence and motivation to live in the face of you, because I have more than you have, at least, I am not a poor bastard, so I will not be distressed by lack of money; At least I don't have someone who will make me love to death and alive to give me happiness every once in a while, and make me feel like a dog; At least I know that my mother is in Taiwan, if I want to see her, it only takes more than 6 hours haha, I'm so happy, a hundred times happier than you, no, it's a thousand times ten thousand times" She kept talking like a disgusting child, drinking while talking, but she refused to use the privilege of a woman, and used crying to vent her emotions.

"Xiao Ai, if you drink too much and talk nonsense and expose my scars, I will die in front of you, believe it or not"

She smiled in a daze: "Threaten me, don't you think in your heart, when you die, I will live without a reference to find a sense of existence, and I will die with you, do you think that Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai is so romantic, you and I die like a joke, the most ridiculous joke in the world"

She was talking about wine, and I, a person in a state of sobriety, was not as good at talking nonsense as she was, so I didn't respond to her, and simply let her talk happily. I just called the waiter and returned the beer on the table that had not been touched.

At night, when I was bottomless, I carried her out of the bar, and the first thing she did was to throw up me and herself, and then there was not a single taxi driver on the whole street who wanted to do our business, and we were abandoned on the streets of this city that should be welcoming, and the way back was so far that it was crumbling

I wanted to call Ji Xiaowei and ask him to pick us up, but when I took out my mobile phone from my pocket, I found that I was busy learning to make pastries that day, and I didn't charge my mobile phone at all

I picked up Xiao Ai, who was already drunk, and walked through the streets and alleys with the city lights, but in the end I didn't find the hotel where we stayed. I got lost in a city with ever-changing lines and curves, and there were no passers-by on the road to show me the way, only rows of grocery stores and restaurants that had closed their doors

I gasped and put Xiao Ai on the bench on the side of the street, then took off my cleanest coat and draped it over her, while I lit a cigarette and crouched beside her, looking at the strange and deserted street and the leaves that kept falling with the cold wind at the end of autumn

I suddenly felt so tired, and I really wanted a bowl of hot soup and a home that could give me warmth. With such a desire, I finally turned to look at Xiao Ai, who was conscious and didn't know where to go, as long as she didn't vomit, she was still the girl who was so beautiful that people thought she was a fairy, but there didn't seem to be such a fairy in this world, so sometimes I would feel that she was a rescuer brought by a monkey, and she couldn't fight, but her ability to be a human being was first-class

I found a wet tissue from her handbag, and then wiped her face that was blown dry by the wind, and combed her hair that was also blown by the wind, and then made a gesture of worship to her from the bottom of my heart, and said: "Grandma, I don't know what kind of child you will give birth to to give you a home, give you a man you love, and rush your incomparably strong genes, I estimate that even if you can't be blue, at least it's on par with you, so you have to take it easy, Give him all the things you can get your hands on, such as playing the piano, such as elegant dancing, don't let him repeat your mistakes again, be a monkey to move to the rescue, because, there are really not many people in this world who can withstand such a toss, look at me, I have lacked love and calcium since I was a child, and I have carried you all this way, and my legs are about to break, if you are really a fairy, you can get up and fly for a while, leave me alone, I will walk back by myself"

In my chatter, a couple of young people finally came, I hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask them for directions, who knew that they were just tourists who came to Yangzhou to play, only heard the loud name of Dongguan Street, but they couldn't touch it.

I rested in frustration for five minutes, and finally carried Xiao Ai on my back and walked in the direction I thought was right, until I met a few auxiliary police officers patrolling the road, and finally knew the specific location of Dongguan Street, and then stood on the side of the street at a loss, looking at the distance that seemed to be very close but out of reach

At night, the cold air seems to freeze the city, and we are like a pair of desireless sculptures, standing under the neon lights, eternal in this somewhat decadent world
