Before dusk, I once again came to the downstairs of the women's dormitory of the Nanyi Music Performance Department. Until this time, I still didn't take the initiative to get Xiao Ai's contact information, but I didn't expect to find her so soon because of the wedding performance, I think this is also a kind of fate, she always appears in my mind and life in time when I need to do something.

This time, I didn't seem to have as good luck as the previous two times, I asked a few girls, and they all said that Xiao Ai didn't come to school today, and they didn't have Xiao Ai's contact information, so I could only helplessly ask them to wait for Xiao Ai to tell her when she came back, saying that a person named Jiangqiao had come to look for her.

After leaving Nanyi, my body became heavier and heavier, I went to the clinic again, and hung a bottle of drip, and in this long process, the clinic is the same old neighborhood as me, and the old doctor I called Wu Da chatted with me, he first asked me: "Jiangqiao, have you been under too much pressure at work recently?" If so, you have to take it easy, once the body's immunity is low, all minor illnesses and pains will come. ”

"I've been a little tired lately."

"Take a few days off and rest."

"I would like to, but this company is not owned by our family!"

He nodded and replied: "Yes, most people's work pressure is about to become the norm now, I have seen too many people, and their bodies are already in a sub-healthy state at a young age." ”

"Wu Dada, can we not talk about these medical topics?"

"No way, this is my occupational disease!" After a slight pause, he asked me again: "I heard that Chen Yi's girl moved away from our alley?" ”

I felt a sudden pain in my heart, and then I remembered the scene from last night that had brought me to despair, and I was in a terrible mood, and I didn't say much, I just nodded.

"Why did she move out when she lived so well?"

I replied lightly: "She has already bought a house on the TV station, and it is not a matter of time before she moves out." ”

"I thought this girl was going to move away until she got married, but then again, this girl is really good, she is the pride of our alley, if a young man marries her in the future, it will be a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes!"

"Wu Dada, can we not talk about these short topics among parents?"

"You kid just thinks I'm nagging, you have to ...... Rest well! I won't bother you. ”

"Well, you step aside."

Wu shook his head and smiled, then left my hospital bed and waited in the reception room outside for the next patient who was as sick as I was in the early autumn.

The ward suddenly became quiet, but I couldn't get used to it, and I kept staring at the white ceiling in a daze, but the back of Chen Yi when he left last night always existed in my mind, and then tortured my fragile nerves.

Maybe it was because I had been staring at the ceiling for too long, and tears flowed from my dry eyes, and I didn't bother to wipe them, just thinking: If Chen Yi hadn't moved out yet, if there hadn't been for last night's quarrel, would she, who had just gotten off work at this time, buy some porridge and rice cakes that I like to eat and send them to the clinic?

Maybe I had something in mind, I subconsciously picked up my mobile phone from the side of the bed and looked at it, then silently read Chen Yi's mobile phone number, which I had already been familiar with, and threw the mobile phone back to its original place......

I'm really tired, tired and don't understand what women are thinking in their hearts, I don't understand until now: what prompted Chen Yi to be so angry with me, even if my behavior yesterday was a lie or a lie, it was a white lie, I just didn't want her to miss her happiness.

……

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, the drip was almost at the bottom, and I shouted and no one responded, so I pulled out the needle, wiped it with an alcohol cotton and left the clinic, and dusk came.

From afar, I saw Xiao Ai sitting on the courtyard wall with a cup of drink, she seemed to like the scenery from that angle more than I did, and I admired her about this, because other people's strange eyes were just a fart in her eyes, I seemed to be able to imagine: one day, all people passing by will get used to such a girl who likes to sit on the courtyard wall and swing her legs.

She condescendingly asked me, "Why are you looking for me at school today?" ”

"Come down and talk to me."

"You come up and talk to me."

"Hurry down, I'll talk to you about something serious."

She sat motionless and replied, "It's strange, who can't sit on the courtyard wall and say anything serious?" ”

This girl seemed to be born to challenge the rules, and I couldn't resist her, so I had to drag my sick body up the courtyard wall, and then sat down beside her, and then she said to me again: "You are a second-rate person who is about the same as an idle person in society, what serious things do you say to me?" ”

"I'm busy, okay!"

She squinted her eyes in the afterglow of the setting sun, smiling but replied in a very melancholy tone: "Yes, yes, you are very busy, busy with pain, busy with sadness, busy with crush on Chen Yi......"

The alley was very quiet, so this sentence echoed in my ears several times as if it had been specially effected, and I was a little embarrassed, and I didn't know how to answer, so I kept a straight face......

She didn't take my emotions to heart, she just touched the tenacious weed growing on the courtyard wall with her hand very boredly.

I finally said to her, "Hey, do you want to make some pocket money?" ”

She absentmindedly replied, "I don't want to." ”

"Didn't you tell me last time that you were short of money to spend?"

She was still so absent-minded: "Did I say that? ”

I replied with certainty: "Absolutely." ”

She finally turned to look at me, then nodded, "Oh, then think about it, but how to earn it?" It's not like you're going to open the altar and try to make the sky rain of money, right? ”

I couldn't help admiring her imagination, and after being speechless for a while, I replied: "Don't make trouble, I'm very serious, there is a wedding next week, there is a lack of piano and violin players on the scene, don't you know how to play the piano, 500 yuan an hour, the opportunity is not common, it depends on whether you are willing to grasp it." ”

"Oh my God, it's 500 yuan an hour!"

I replied with a little smugness: "You heard it right, it's 500 yuan, and a wedding bounces down at least 1500 yuan, which should be able to cover your living expenses for a month, right?" ”

She gave me a contemptuous look before she said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to." ”

I almost fell off the courtyard wall without sitting still, and hurriedly stabilized my mind and said, "Are you too little?" I didn't even question your playing level, the devil knows what kind of virtue a piano full of artistic atmosphere will be played by you! ”

"Then you quickly become a ghost, and you will know if you become a ghost!"

Her soft and hard didn't eat, which made me a little helpless, and said flatteringly: "You should do me a favor, it's really a bit cheesy to talk about money between us, it's a big deal that I will help you get the performance fee, and then use this performance fee to invite you to eat, drink and have fun?" ”

"You're really good at persuasion!"

I took her hand and shook it: "Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, you agree, it's really not easy for us to do wedding planning, if something goes wrong in one link, the effect of the wedding cannot be guaranteed, and it is a dead end when the boss blames it!" ”

She gave me a disgusted look and replied, "Take your claws away first." ”

I hurriedly let go of her: "Do you have any instructions, just say." ”

"First of all, I have to tell you: I didn't promise you because I sympathized with you, because you were basically talking nonsense to me just now, I just wanted to take this opportunity to see the wedding, if this wedding is not as happy as I imagined, we will not have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

I sighed: "Even after thinking about it in the future, you are really far-sighted!" ”

"Well, isn't this sitting on the wall of your yard, of course you have to look farther......"

"It turns out that the courtyard wall of our house is so useful! Looks like I'm going to have to think about charging for a fee. ”

……

After Xiao Ai and I reached an agreement, the two of them left the alley together, I invited her to drink tofu brain at the food stall at the entrance of the alley, and then planned to take her to the piano shop to try her playing level first, although the wedding is not required to be a master-level performer, but at least it must be able to play proficiently, so I still feel a little bit up and down in my heart, because I think such a playful girl, how can she have enough time to practice so many instruments? Unless she's really talented!

Thinking about it, I subconsciously looked to my left hand side again, at this moment, I have been waiting for Chen Yi to get off work for almost two years. Sometimes, when she was in a good mood, she would stop and drink a bowl of tofu brain with me, and then talk about the trivial things at work.

I suddenly remembered that Chen Yi had moved away from this tulip road, and then I realized in my loss: the habits that had been formed in two years were so difficult to change......

In the twilight, Xiao Ai and I didn't speak, maybe she didn't want to waste such a good artistic conception in front of her, at this moment there was a breeze and the afterglow of the sunset scattered and a group of passers-by who were in a hurry and didn't have time to stop, but we could sit so quietly, and then think about a little of our own exclusive thoughts, that would be better!

When she was about to finish eating, I finally said to her: "At the client's wedding, one of them will play a song of Huang Yongcan's "Poetic Tranquility", you can try this song first when you go to the piano store later, no problem, right?" ”

She frowned at me and replied, "You don't seem to trust me." ”

"It's the first time we cooperated, I hope you understand!"

Xiao Ai put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then threw his small leather bag in my hand, not saying much nonsense, just made a "lead the way" look at me, I hurriedly got up, and then carried her leather bag like an assistant, leading her to a piano not far away
