Chapter 185: The Power of Elopement
As if in a race against life and death, on the night when the deadline was approaching, I finally obtained a fund that could repay the membership dues with the help of Xiao Ai, and my life seemed to have undergone a refresh at this moment, giving me the right to choose again.
I walked towards my old house with some tired steps, and I was even more grateful to Xiao Ai for coming back from Taipei for the qiē that I had done for me, if it weren't for her, I might not even be able to keep this home in Nanjing.
I walked slowly to the depths of the alley, and then stopped at the door of the coffee shop, if it weren't for the glaring seal, the coffee shop would still be set up and displayed as it had been a few days ago, and even the two goldfish on the bar were still alive, and they swam around in the tank, as if to tell me that they had no trouble at all except food and clothing.
I smiled, then plastered some white lime on the wall and pressed my own handprints on the glass of the wooden door, it was time for me to say goodbye to this place, and there would be no more "mood coffee shops" in this old alley.
I was in a calm mood, a peace that I had gained after experiencing extreme pain, and it was priceless, and I was in the mood to enjoy the starlight of the air and the gentle warm breeze of this night......
I still love the world, the joys, sorrows and sorrows that happen every moment!
……
When I came to the door of my house, Chen Yi was standing next to the steps, carrying a handbag that had been used in my image for a long time, her curly hair was permed, and she was wearing a thin professional attire. It made her look like a mature woman, even though she was only 26 years old like me, years away from her age.
I walked up to her, smiled lightly and asked, "Are you here for me?" ”
"You went to Qin Miao's company again today to make trouble?"
I asked rhetorically, "If I don't mess with her, who am I messing with?" ”
Chen Yi whispered to me, "Jiang Qiao, you may have misunderstood Qin Miao...... I've been looking for connections for the past two days to find out who did this. In fact, it may not be all man-made, but also related to the recent policy, if you pay attention to the news, you should know the news that the ancient city of Shangri-La was burned down, so Nanjing has recently carried out a large-scale rectification in this regard, our old alley is indeed not suitable for catering, because the fire safety hazard is too great! ”
"Then why is it so coincidental that you brought me such a show just in time when the coffee shop was about to take off?"
"I was reported, this person eats some policy things very thoroughly, but it's not Qin Miao'......"
I interrupted Chen Yi: "She is in the construction industry, if you want to talk about the understanding and grasp of policies, who is good at her?" …… Unless you have direct evidence that she didn't do it, she won't be clean in my heart. ”
Chen Yi's face was helpless and heartbroken: "I really want to give you an answer that can convince everyone, but I don't have the ability to give it now...... Then wait for time to give the answer, it is the most distinguishable thing in the world, including human nature, including the truth of love! ”
I didn't respond to Chen Yi's words, but I believed her words, because time has verified too many things between us. We have left each other's dying relationship when we were young, and gradually to today's indescribable state, but it is an indisputable fact that we are drifting apart.
After being silent for a while, Chen Yi put down the bag in his hand and said to me, "I know the current situation of the coffee shop. Over the years, I have helped my family buy a house and a car by myself, but I haven't been able to save much money. There are a total of 500,000 yuan in this bag, all in cash, you can just take it and return it to those members, and you can do something you like with the rest of the money...... But don't open a coffee shop anymore...... This is a lingering shadow between you and Qin Miao, I only hope that everyone can still be like before, because a relationship of more than ten years or even more should be cherished for everyone. ”
I looked at the bag that was lying heavily on the ground, and my heart was mixed, and I finally asked her, "You are sandwiched between me and Qin Miao during this time, are you very embarrassed?" ”
My words hit the most aggrieved place in Chen Yi's heart, and tears immediately swirled in her eyes, and she choked up and replied: "...... I don't know when I started to do anything wrong, I went to persuade Qin Miao, she blamed me for being carried away and favoring you without a bottom line and without principle. I came to persuade you, but you feel that I don't care about your feelings, trample on your dreams, and even think that between you and Qin Miao, I only choose the one who is beneficial to me...... But I really just hope that you don't make mistakes again and again because of something that can be characterized as wrong, so I sue you Qin Miao once poached the manager and clerk of the coffee shop in an incorrect way, I hope you can let Qin Miao ...... However, this has become the most important basis for you to judge that the coffee shop has been seized, and I think it must have been done by Qin Miao. And Qin Miao's side resented me for suing you for this...... I'm really tired, you were all the closest people in my life, but now you are getting farther and farther away from me, and I don't know who to sue for my pain? …… Jiang Qiao, what did I do wrong, or am I really stupid, no matter how hard I try, I can't change to a situation I want, and I will always live in everyone's misunderstanding! ……”
No matter how glamorous Chen Yi usually is, but at night, in front of me, she is just a woman who needs to be protected after all, she leans against the wall, and the more she cries, the more sad she becomes......
Growing up, the last thing I wanted to see was her crying, and she wasn't the one who would express her feelings in such a drastic way, and this time she was really in pain.
Me! Always look at the world one-sidedly with your own eyes and perceptions. If someone thinks of my inner feelings as a well-structured story, then he sees all of me. However, no one saw how Chen Yi spent every night and every day.
It's like, when she went to participate in that cruel extreme survival challenge show, her body was scarred, and she lived in a tent on the outskirts of the mountain, what kind of mood would she have, and who would she think about?
No one knows about this except herself, and no one explores it!
My heart aches for her, and I blame myself for my own paranoia. As early as when she begged me with more than 20 years of affection, I should have put myself in her perspective like this moment, but I didn't treat her pain as pain, and in turn blamed her for taking the relationship for more than 20 years too much.
I seem to have hurt her too deeply! Over and over......
I approached her a little bit, put my arm around her shoulder, and whispered, "Actually, everyone has a bad side in their bones!" At this point, there is no point in judging whether this matter is right or wrong, but I promise you...... I'm not going to do anything with coffee in this life or this life...... I gave up, really gave up! …… Because, I figured it out, my dreams shouldn't override my relationship with you! …… There really aren't many 20 years in life!. ”
Chen Yi hugged me, the tighter and tighter she embraced, her tears stained the thin shirt, leaving a piece of warmth, this feeling, just like one spring morning, she sat on the back of my bicycle and accidentally spilled the hot water in the cup on my body, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I felt very warm, because we were so close!
After a long time, Chen Yi left my body, I knew that she was going to say goodbye, but I couldn't accept the money she gave me, I knew what 500,000 meant to her now, not to mention that before this, I had already got a sum of money that was enough to solve the trouble with the help of another woman.
I handed the handbag back to her and said, "Take the money back, I can take care of the coffee shop." ”
Chen Yi looked at me......
"Take it back, it's all your hard-earned money...... Hehe, when you are on a reality show one day, the salary for one episode is millions, even if you don't give it to me, I want to scavenge a little from you, it will be regarded as common prosperity, but now it really can't! I said as I took her hand and handed her the bag back.
……
Chen Yi left, but my heart was still in the turmoil just now, and I strongly felt that I needed some positive energy to climb up from the trough. I want to take a walk around the city and throw all the negativity that has accumulated over the years in the evening breeze that blows by.
This night, I took the bus and the subway, but most of the time I was walking, and I came to a street next to Mochou Lake. The street is wide and bustling, and I can see all the cars and people passing by, and there are hotels, restaurants and clothing stores on both sides of the street, which gives people a lot of security because the street can provide food and clothing.
After walking more than 100 meters, a music caravan was parked in a department store square, and in the most eye-catching place on the body was written "Literary and Art Road" 26-city tour.
I arrived at the right time, and the show seemed to be entering the **, where two men in jackets and looked very powerful were exchanging something in the center of the stage. In an instant, the strong prelude was played by a variety of instruments, and it was a shocking "elopement", which was being sung by two rock men......
"Dedicate your youth to the glorious city behind you. For this dream, we pay the price. Leave love to the most sincere girl around me, you sing with me, you wander with me, and lose with me...... It wasn't until now that I suddenly understood. I dreamed of true love and freedom, and I wanted to take you and elope to the farthest towns. I want to take you to elope and be the happiest person...... In a familiar foreign land, I exiled myself year after year. Through flowers, through thorns, just for the land of freedom. In the city, you are my last faith, white as a joyful light that illuminates my heart...... Take you to elope, take you to elope......"
In this song, I heard the heart-rending longing, and I also heard the positive energy that can ignite the world, this world is so beautiful, even eloping is for the girl I love the most.
At this moment, I dare to boldly imagine that as long as it is two men and women who truly love each other, even if they stumble and elope to the farthest town, abandoning the prosperity of a qiē, the result is still worth it. Because that most distant town, condensed with freedom and wandering, which can only be reached by stepping on thorns, who dares to say that it is bad, that it is desolate?
It is by no means desolate, because the most beautiful flowers of human nature have bloomed in that place......
The two rock men just held the guitar and performed it with all their love, and eloped out of their mouths, which was particularly powerful, and I had a very throbbing resonance...... I think of Xiao Ai and her courage to rush back to Nanjing from Taipei.
I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and filmed the sonorous singing and the surging and crazy crowd into the camera, I want to stay as a souvenir, so that I can fall in love with a woman in the future with the consciousness of elopement.
……
This night was really worth it for me, and the gloom in my heart was dispelled by the power of elopement. I wanted to share this video with another person, I know she lives with Yu Xin, and although I don't have her new contact information, I can ask Yu Xin to forward it to her.
Inspired by this energy, I became careful and bold, I wanted to stay with Xiao Ai, why did she have to go to Taipei to be a teacher? Nanjing is her most dear hometown, and she should use the courage of "elopement" to overturn the past and treat Nanjing as the most distant town.
In this town, she doesn't have to be afraid of a qiē, because I will be as good to her as she is to me.
Taking a deep breath, I sent the video to Yu Xin, and then attached a text: "Please transfer it to Xiao Ai, and then help me tell her...... I want to talk to her, to meet and talk. I was waiting for her at the convenience store on Tulip Road and told her to go! ”
Putting my phone back in my pocket, I ran down another street where I could get a taxi, and I thought Xiao Ai would give me a chance to meet because we had a relationship, although until now, I wasn't sure what kind of relationship it was.
……
The car drove me quickly towards Tulip Road, and I looked at the receding lights and understood the meaning of "elopement" more deeply. The so-called elopement is not really elopement. It represents a liberating courage and freedom. Just like me now, although there is no good reason to keep Xiao Ai, I just dare to do it.
If she is willing to stay in Nanjing, we can open a piano shop together, she is in charge of teaching, and I am in charge of publicity and planning, and we can do this very well with our respective talents and experiences.
A moment later, Yu Xin replied to me. She said that Xiao Ai was willing to meet with me; She also asked me if I wanted to confess to Xiao Ai, I didn't reply, but I was very excited, because some love was there from the last time she left Nanjing, but I never had the opportunity to be stimulated, at that time I didn't know how to keep her, and I didn't know what to do after leaving her, but at this moment it's different!
