After going downstairs, I wandered down the tulip road alone. At the moment, because it was late at night, most of the shops were closed, so I didn't know where to buy that kind of family planning supplies.

I vaguely remembered that across the street from the convenience store we had taken over, there was a counter that automatically sold family planning supplies. So, I turned around and walked that way again.

My memory is not wrong, there was indeed such a place across the street from the convenience store, I took a handful of change from my wallet and walked in. I didn't know how to use it, so I studied the instructions for a long time before finally taking out a box. remembered what Xiao Ai had just said, and felt that one box was not enough, so he immediately chose two different brands, and then stuffed a hundred yuan into the coin slot.

In the deep night, two boxes of condoms fell silently......

"Jiangqiao...... What are you doing? ”

When I heard someone talking to me, my hands trembled, and one of the boxes of condoms fell off. I didn't bother to pick it up, but when I looked back, I found that the person standing behind me was Chen Yi, so I hurriedly picked up the condom and hid it all in my pants pocket.

I looked at her embarrassedly, and she looked at the logo of the unmanned vending machine behind me with some drunkenness, and she seemed to be drinking again, but I didn't know if it was for work or to pass the night.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Chen Yi also walked into this small room that sold family planning supplies, then patted the vending machine, and asked me, "What is this selling?" ”

I looked at her knowingly and asked, so I had to say, "Don't ask, it's boring...... They are almost thirty years old, and everyone understands it. ”

Chen Yi ignored me, looked inside, and then picked a few styles, took out a hundred yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into the coin slot. She bent down to pick up the boxes and put them in her bag. I don't know if these boxes will come in handy with her.

After doing that, she turned to look at me again, and I only felt more embarrassed. We can meet anywhere on this road, but this is the most fatal. At this time, the occasional passer-by walked by, and also set their eyes on us standing in the small room.

I hurriedly pulled her outside, then shifted the subject to her and asked, "Are you drinking again?" ”

"Yes, I drank it at the Wutong Hotel, and I drank it every day until they closed the door, so that I wouldn't have to lose sleep when I went back......" She smiled at this, and then said, "No wonder so many people like wine...... What a good thing! …… But don't worry, I love wine, but I don't drink too much. Look, can't I walk home by myself? ”

I looked at Chen Yi, who was a little unsteady on his feet, and felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart, and only persuaded after a long time: "If it's not for work, let's drink as little as possible in the future, it's not good, you just drink a little bit." ”

Chen Yi replied indifferently: "The amount of alcohol and guts are not the same, and the amount of alcohol can be practiced." I've been drinking a lot over the years, and now it's not a problem to drink five or six beers. ”

"It's good to practice, it's good to practice."

Chen Yi smiled, then leaned against a tree beside him, and also changed the topic and said to me: "Don't talk about this, I want to take time to go to the hospital to see my aunt in the past two days, which day will be more convenient for you." ”

"It's okay at any time, she's in a good mood right now, and she doesn't feel too much pressure on herself...... Maybe, it has something to do with going through too much, and I feel that life and death can be looked down upon, but it's good! Doctors say this state is particularly beneficial for her treatment. ”

Chen Yi shook his head at me, and then replied, "I don't think Auntie is taking life and death lightly...... She was just satisfied, because she made up for the biggest regret of her life and got what she wanted the most! ”

I didn't think too deeply about Chen Yi's words, and after a little silence, I said, "Maybe, no matter what she thinks, this is not a bad thing...... In the future, it will only get better and better. ”

Chen Yi nodded, she agreed with my statement that I was getting better and better, but the next moment she fell into silence, and I should go back......

I was still a little worried about her, so I asked her before leaving, "How are you doing, have you started a new relationship?" ”

Chen Yi looked at me, shook his head and replied, "No, I'm too busy with work and don't have time to take care of all this...... Moreover, I just got divorced, do you think I'm a woman who can't live without a man? ”

"I don't mean that, I just feel that your current state is not particularly good, you shouldn't be the way you are now, and you have the ability and capital to choose life, not let life choose you!"

Chen Yi fell into a state of trance...... I don't know when, we parked a white Toyota Camry across the street, the young man in his early twenties opened the window, and the car stereo was playing in Li Ronghao's "Don't Say", he was smoking a cigarette while listening quietly, and the diagonal front of the car was a KTV, he seemed to be here to pick up people, probably a driver who ran Didi.

When the song was about to end, a few women who were even more drunk than Chen Yi came out of the KTV, and after they got into the car, they quickly disappeared on this tulip road, but the melody of the song just now has not dissipated in my mind, and I also lit a cigarette.

At this time, Chen Yicai said to me abruptly: "I don't know why, I miss the days when I worked in a TV station recently, and I was really busy at that time...... But no matter how tired I am or how late I come back, the light is always on in front of your house. I don't know if you kept it on purpose, but I really feel very grounded...... You may not believe it, but in all the years of work, I never lost sleep because of my thoughts. So, these days I've been thinking about whether it's time to go back to TV...... We have a new director now, and I really want to go back. He said that in the past, those grievances between me and the station can be written off, I am still the pillar of the station, and I will not be limited to the system, and I can continue to make film and television investments that I am interested in. ”

"Sounds like a good choice."

Chen Yi smiled and replied, "Jiang Qiao, do you remember?" At the beginning, in order to allow me to officiate at the wedding of Mr. Xiao and Li Zishan, you once persuaded me to be a freelance host who left the system, and I had a lot of concerns at that time...... Well, now, everything is back to the original starting point, but this time, there are no worries at all...... Because, I've been successful in the industry outside of hosting. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yi took out the condom he had just bought from his bag, shook it in front of me, and said, "One day, I will also need this thing, just like you now, right?" ”

I was speechless, and she didn't pester me anymore. The next moment, she turned and left.

In the minute I stopped, the young man who drove the white Toyota Camry just now came back here, and the song in his car did not change, it was still the song "Don't Say" by Li Ronghao, and in this repetitive singing, I watched Chen Yi go far away......

"For why people with a past will believe in tomorrow, why should they cry and show a smiling face, and when breaking up is a kind of exercise; It's not that I'm not hurt, I'm not hurt, I'm not sad, I'm just not beautiful, I don't say anything; People say that the heart is like a knife cutting, and diamonds should be pondered, and I thank those people who have rubbed and scraped them, and helped me to achieve positive results in my suffering......"

……

As if in a dream, I finally returned to the place where Xiao Ai and I lived, and by this time she had finished showering and changed into pajamas, and I took all the condoms I bought out of my pocket and put them on the cupboard next to the bed.

The next moment, I pounced on her, under the domination of the most primitive **, we all began to become crazy, we will not remember at this moment, behind us, how many people endure the torment of not saying, but the people who really want to thank are us, it is their appearance that makes us understand what true love is and what is loneliness.

And after this night, on this rooftop, there was one more room, and we lived together in the true sense.

……

The next day, Xiao Ai and I woke up at about the same time. She said that today is the weekend, so she doesn't need to go to the group, so she will go to the hospital to accompany Yang Jin during the day, and I am not idle, I stewed bone broth for Yang Jin, and then asked Xiao Ai to bring it over.

In the morning, I met with the people from the decoration company again, and then the time for the official decoration was determined, and this afternoon there will be a group of renovation workers to disassemble the original useless things. It is expected that the cigarette hotel jointly invested by Xiao Ai and I will be able to open in a month and a half.

……

Time flies, and we spend a week in this life that is almost too busy to breathe. Within this week, Yang Jin officially entered the stage of treatment, but her mood still did not change much, and her relationship with Xiao Ai has also improved greatly. Xiao Ai even brought his violin to the hospital, and would accompany Yang Jin to the small garden of the hospital for a walk every evening, and then play some softer tunes for her. Yang Jin said that this is more useful than any medicine. In return, Yang Jin will also teach her some ways of doing business.

For me, of course, I would like to see this because they are all extremely important women in my life.

It was another weekend afternoon, and after spending nearly ten days in Shenzhen, Jin Qiu returned to Nanjing, and she did not rush to the hospital to see Yang Jin, but asked me to a teahouse near the hospital. I know she's probably done with the transfer of the Tulip Hotel to my name. She was such an efficient woman, and that never changed.
