I stayed here patiently for a long time, and soon it was noon, and those students were more trustworthy, and they came out to tell me that I had no news of Xiao Ai, and no one had even heard of Xiao Ai, and I felt like I had been drenched from head to foot by a basin of ice water.

I distinctly remember that Xiao Ai once told me that she was here to support her living expenses by teaching musical instruments, and if this was the case, how could not a single student know something about her?

I was puzzled, and even began to suspect that she had given me false information, but I couldn't understand the reason why she did it, so she became a mystery and I couldn't figure it out. But the more this happens, the more urgent I want to find her!

Another day and a half passed, and I sat alone under the lamppost, a little tired, a little disappointed, a little helpless, and a little hungry......

I touched my pockets, I was penniless, and I laughed self-deprecatingly, because before I came to Taipei, I never imagined that I would fall into such a miserable situation, I didn't even have the money for a ticket back to Nanjing, but I felt that I was separated from Xiao Ai at the ends of the world.

I licked my dry lips and looked up as far as my eye could see. I feel very lonely, except for the sky, everything here is so strange, I suddenly miss the days when I was like a fish in water on the tulip road, and the person I was looking for would always stand at the door of the convenience store with a corn in her hand and wait for me when I was not expecting it.

……

Late at night, I returned to the "Ade's Hotel", where Ade sat at the front desk like a piece of wood, with a box of half-eaten fast food and a bottle of mineral water with the lid open but not a few sips.

I was a little dizzy from hunger, so I asked Ade, "Ade, how is your cooking?" ”

"Don't ask someone who eats fast food and instant noodles every day how good he is."

I coughed twice and then replied, "It's not a problem for you to eat instant noodles and fast food all day, no wonder you're so fat!" …… Uh, actually, my cooking skills are pretty good, what kind of dishes do you have here, rice or something? Or I'll make you something tasty. ”

Ade looked at me and replied after a while: "Some time ago, a grandfather from the countryside gave me a little rice, and the vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were gone. ”

I was so hungry that I was cheeky enough to say, "Why don't you go to the convenience store and buy some eggs, I'll get you a scrambled egg, but there is no garlic!" ”

I'm talking about myself, how can I not have garlic? I'm not always pretending to be garlic now!

I'm a good-looking person, and I'm embarrassed to ask Ade to invite me to a meal or something, so I said that I would cook for Ade in the name of it.

Ade thought for a while, and finally replied: "The garlic is roaring, the uncle next door to our hostel will grow some vegetables by himself, let's go borrow some." Ade said as he stepped out of the bar.

……

Following Ade to a vegetable field with a small area, Ade reached out and picked a handful of garlic, and I encouraged him to pick a handful of vegetables, but in this blind light and blind fire, it doesn't look like borrowing, but like two men with no skills, stealing for food and clothing.

It was still the small balcony, and Ade's telescope to watch Lin Ziqing change clothes was set up behind us, and on an old-fashioned square table, there was a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic and egg soup with vegetables, and a few cans of beer, and Ade and I sat face to face.

"Brother, your craftsmanship is amazing!" Ade gave me a thumbs up as he ate.

I was afraid that he would eat too much, so I hurriedly reminded: "You eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Ade has a habit of listening to music while eating, and on the balcony there is a very old cassette player playing the legendary hit "Hotel California" by the Eagles.

I am even more convinced that Ade is a lonely and sad person, which is why there are so many actions that others can't quite understand, just like I plant flowers and grass in the yard, and we who are out of the mainstream society really like to create a secret space for ourselves, in which we enjoy painful enjoyment, hesitate to fall, just to wait for a girl we like......

"Ah Qiao Roar, have you found the girl you are looking for?"

I picked up the beer can and touched one with Ade, and after taking a big sip, I sighed and replied, "No, there are more than 100 burgers in there!" ”

Ade looked at me incredulously.

Feeling frustrated, I lifted the beer can and touched another one with Ade, then picked up the largest egg and stuffed it into my mouth. I feel so good about it, that's what eggs and beer give me.

Anyway, I've survived another night, and there is still hope of finding Xiao Ai tomorrow, and now I can only be so optimistic.

……

When the meal was about to be finished, a girl's voice came from downstairs, presumably to stay in the house. Ade answered and hurried downstairs.

I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and went downstairs behind Ade, but to my surprise, it was not a couple as I imagined, but two women, and when Ade faced one of them, his face was flushed and he looked uncomfortable.

I looked at the woman, she was wearing a long white dress, her hair was hanging down her shoulders, and she also had dimples when she spoke, she was a very nice beauty, and this obvious feature immediately reminded me that she was Lin Ziqing that Ade had been thinking about for a long time.

She said to Ade, "Ade, this is my good sister, Xiaomei...... You can help her open a standard room with better hygiene, and she will live here for a while. ”

"Oh, good ......"

I looked at the girl named Xiaomei, her face was a little pale, and there were tears in her eyes, and Lin Ziqing beside me had been supporting her. I suspect that she had taken refuge here shortly after her abortion.

Ade helped the girl named Xiaomei register her personal information, Lin Ziqing took out some Taiwan dollars from her wallet and handed it to him and said, "This is Xiaomei's room fee, stay for ten days first." ”

Ade stammered back, "No, no, we're friends...... Roar! ”

Lin Ziqing forced him to give it: "Then how can it be done, it's not easy for you to open a hotel." ”

Ade doesn't know where the strength comes from, and he refuses to ask Lin Ziqing to pay for the room, but I feel a little sad when I watch this scene, because Ade likes this woman, but there are not many opportunities to do something for this woman, so he cherishes such an opportunity. It's a pity that Lin Ziqing doesn't understand!

I walked up to the two of them, and then said to Lin Ziqing: "Classmate, Ade treats you as a friend, so don't see you outside...... Since it's a friend, let's solve it in the way of a friend, and you can invite Ade to a meal. Besides, he didn't care that the money wasn't enough to buy a clasp on his big gold chain! ”

Lin Ziqing looked at me, who had never met before, and I asked Ade again: "Ade, do you think this is better?" ”

"It's a roar, it's a roar......"

Lin Ziqing smiled, then accepted my suggestion, and asked me if I was Ade's friend, and Ade nodded again and again, recognizing my friend status.

I started narcissistic again, and I felt that I was too smart, because not only did I help Ade get a date, but I was also able to eat a meal, which must still be a big meal!

Lin Ziqing left, and Ade arranged Xiaomei in the best room in his hostel, brought her hot water, and went to buy her supper, but this definitely doesn't mean that he is a warm person, he just loves the house and Wu.

……

The night was even deeper, and Ade was still immersed in the joy of meeting Lin Ziqing just now, and I didn't want to sleep, so I started chatting with him again: "Ade, you said that Lin Ziqing arranged her good sister in your hostel, is this a kind of trust, or is it out of good feelings?" ”

"You think too much...... Because we are still friends, and this hostel is my own house, which is cheaper than others' houses. ”

"I don't believe it, didn't you say that her family conditions are not bad, how can you care about a little money for accommodation."

Ade's expression was not only stern but also serious, and he replied, "You don't know her...... She is actually a very ** girl, and she has a good tutor and will not spend a penny. ”

As he spoke, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "My family is not good, and I look ugly, how can she take a fancy to my roar!" ”

"That's not necessarily, aren't all your idol dramas in Taiwan acting like this......"

Ade pursed his lips and didn't respond to my words, he fell into a kind of self-meditation again, it is estimated that it is all related to Lin Ziqing, he is indeed a fat man who is very affectionate and likes fantasy but does not like action.

……

In the not spacious room, I lay on the bed with my arms on my pillow, this is the second day I came to Taipei, I lost my bank card and mobile phone, which is equivalent to completely losing contact with the city of Nanjing.

I don't know if anyone will contact me in the past two days, and whether I will be worried about my disappearance, if there is really such a person, it should be Chen Yi.

But I didn't want anything from her because of this, and since we broke up, we often didn't touch each other for more than a month, so the possibility of her contacting me during these two days was almost non-existent.

I thought of Xiao Ai again, and a feeling of little hope suddenly surged in my heart......

Shi-Hsin University is not a prosperous area, if she is really here, why can't I find her, and there are so many students helping me find it.

I fell asleep in my thoughts, and then had a dream that I didn't want to face, in this dream, I couldn't find Xiao Ai, and finally was sent back to Nanjing, and after that, we never saw each other again, and neither of us was okay in this life.

……

In the morning, I woke up with a sense of urgency, too embarrassed to cheat on Ade's breakfast again, and through hunger, I came to the door of Shih-Hsin University again, waiting for the students who had eaten the burger to bring even the slightest bit of information about her.

The students were still enthusiastic, but they brought me disappointment one by one, there was no woman named Xiao Ai here at all, and they asked me if I remembered the wrong place.

How could I remember the wrong place? This is the address she really gave me, and she agreed that I would come to Taipei to find her, but what is the situation now?

I didn't eat breakfast, and my heart was on fire, so much so that I had a stomach ache......

I leaned against the lamppost that had been with me for a long time and closed my eyes in despair. Whoever the says that dreams are all the opposite, I really can't find Xiao Ai in the city of Taipei, I'm like a ridiculous fool, just for a promise that the other party may not care about, and impulsively came to Taiwan.

Hehe, anyway, my Jiangqiao is this virtue that I don't have a long memory, and I have taken dozens of hours of train back and forth to Beijing in order to see Chen Yi......

I should have gotten used to this damn feeling!

I don't know when, there was some exclamation in my ears, everyone seemed to be talking about a woman, and I finally opened my eyes in the stomach pain that was almost unbearable.

She was right across from me, riding a scooter with a half-covered helmet, and the sun was shining down on her black hair......

It's Xiao Ai, it's really Xiao Ai!

At the moment, I don't have the tools to look at the time, but I can be sure that the morning time has not left us, so it is a morning of encounters, freehand surprises and accidents......

However, I showed her my most depressed appearance, and I was about to become a beggar!
