Edamame was still tugging at my pants and I was desperate, but my eyes were on Xiao Ai's body, I carried Edamame to the corner next to the coffee shop, and then asked Xiao Ai: "Didn't you say that you went to Yangzhou with Ji Xiaowei for New Year's Day, why haven't you left yet?"

"If I go to Yangzhou, how can I still see you behaving so shamelessly and even robbing the child's candy."

"I'm outwitting, you know." I responded to Xiao Ai while I was busy getting rid of the dying edamame, who grabbed my sweater, crossed my legs around me, and kept yelling for me to spit out the candy.

In order to make edamame die, I hurriedly chewed off the toffee in my mouth, and then stretched out my tongue to show him, indicating that I couldn't spit it out, I didn't want Xiao Ai to look at me with disgust, and repeatedly said that I was "disgusting"

The more Edamame cried, the more desperate he became, Xiao Ai hurriedly took a piece of chocolate from his bag and handed it to Edamame, which was the only way to get this scheming kid, but before leaving, he still kicked me hard, and then ran towards the open space where the fireworks were set off, where his grandfather was setting off fireworks and cannonballs.

Xiao Ai and I stood side by side, the light of the fireworks was reflected in the glass window of the coffee shop, a dream, I had a very unreal feeling, why she always appeared when I felt the most helpless, the most lonely, is she really God's compensation for me?

If yes, then what a beautiful poem our encounter was, full of her innocence between the lines, and melted my loneliness and melancholy.

Xiao Ai finally looked at me and said: "You called me so that I could accompany you for New Year's Eve."

I shook my head, took out the brand new car keys from my pocket, and replied, "No, I bought the car, do you remember what I said to you in Lijiang?"

"You say, when you buy a car, fill up the gas, and then open the sunroof and drive from the east of Nanjing to the west of the city, and then from the south of the city to the north of the city."

I nodded: "Well, would you like to be my first passenger, my car is not a luxury car, it is far worse than your previous one"

Xiao Ai looked at me and replied, "I didn't think about what luxury car I was going to ride, just be happy." ”

At the mouth of the alley, I put Xiao Ai's folding car into the trunk of the car, she was much more polite than I imagined, she had already opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat, and then turned on the car player, which happened to be playing a song from Faye Wong's passengers, Xiao Ai stared at me for a long time and asked: "Jiangqiao, are you trying to let me take your car, you have been planning for a long time, there is still Faye Wong's song in it, and what is even more strange is that the first song is a passenger"

"No, this car CD was sent by a 4S store."

"Are you sure"

I finally smiled and replied, "Sure, but I deliberately chose this one from hundreds of discs to welcome you as my first passenger, fasten your seatbelts, and we're off to go." As I spoke, I opened the sunroof, and the unbridled wind blew into the car, which was a little cold, but it also gave me a very free pleasure.

A few minutes later, I drove the car into the gas station, I wanted to fill up the car, until now the oil used in the car is still sent by the 4S store, only 80 yuan, not at all can give me a sense of security that I can run the whole city of Nanjing.

I said "fill up the gas" to the staff at the gas station, and then took out my wallet from the storage compartment of the car, but the moment I opened it, I was embarrassed, because there were only some small pieces of money left, I remembered that I had bought a dash cam in the 4S store before, and spent all the big money in it.

I looked at Xiao Ai and asked in a low voice, "Do you have 300 yuan to lend me 300 yuan?" ”

Xiao Ai looked into my wallet, and I was even more embarrassed, I had even given the store manager the only bank card with money, and now it was not much worse than being penniless.

"I don't have any money either"

Looking at Xiao Ai's serious appearance, I was a little desperate, but I didn't want Xiao Ai to finally take out his wallet and look at me with disdain, and said: "Jiang Qiao, don't you feel ashamed at all when you think of your behavior, just now you first cheated the child to eat sugar, and now you cheated me out of my money, come on, the last day of this year is enough to nail the shame pillar of your life"

"It's the first time I've seen someone scolding and still be so unskilled, it's shameful enough"

"I have something even more ugly, I'm afraid that you will collapse, so I hid it in my pocket and didn't take it out to scold you." Xiao Ai said as she opened her wallet, I took the opportunity to take a look, there were only a few banknotes with a face value of 100 yuan, and some coins, she is not rich now, and these money are all earned by her sacrifice in her spare time.

Xiao Ai took out 300 yuan from it and handed it to the staff, but I felt inexplicably distressed, I didn't like her living like she was now, but she was unwilling to bow her head to Mr. Xiao, she was so tenacious and stubborn. What puzzles me even more is Mr. Xiao's thoughts, is he just letting Xiao Ai suffer outside After all, it has been many months since the last wedding incident

I started the car again, the lights of the city are particularly bright tonight, it seems that even those cold high-rise buildings have emotions, their outer walls are hung with New Year's greetings, the huge LED display is playing the achievements of the city in the past year, many passers-by are stopping to look, it seems that the coming year is brilliant in their eyes, and anticipation and longing have become the most beautiful notes of the city, full of laughter and laughter that has not stopped

My speed is very fast, all the beautiful pictures become the scenery behind me in a blink of an eye, there is no loneliness in my world at the moment, there is no trouble with the world, only speed brings me a hearty pleasure, and Xiao Ai next to me seems to enjoy this moment more than me, she is eating snacks, while using the lens of her mobile phone to record the city before the end of the year.

When the car finally came to an intersection, the road became congested by the traffic coming from all sides, and I stopped with the car in front of me, then pulled up the handbrake, and my high concentration relaxed in an instant.

Xiao Ai also put down her phone, and she asked me with a hint of curiosity: "Jiang Qiao, how did you practice your driving skills, you are about to catch up with those who drive taxis, and you can't tell that you are a novice at all."

I lit a cigarette in the gap of the traffic jam and replied: "Cut, I took the driver's license when I was 18 years old, and I started to drive engineering vehicles for the company when I was 19 years old, I have been driving for seven or eight years, and I have accumulated at least 10 tens of thousands of kilometers of driving experience, you can't think that I didn't have a car before, just a novice naïve"

"Okay, I'll shut up." After Xiao Ai finished speaking, he pretended to touch me and looked at me with adoring eyes.

I was a little uncomfortable with her, so I changed the subject and said to her: "By the way, I will give you the money for the gas just now, when I go back." ”

"Do I want to do it with you?"

I shook my head and replied, "I'm afraid you won't have money to eat in the next few days." ”

"It's okay to get by, and you want to do so much."

Seeing that New Year's Day is the Lunar New Year, she doesn't seem to be worried about the cost of studying in Germany, I don't know if she has the bottom in her heart, or is too blindly optimistic.

I finally asked her, "Are you sure you're going to study in Germany next year?"

"Of course, I am sure that the procedures for studying abroad have been almost completed, and in a few years, I must become a socially recognized artist, so that my mother knows that I have never given up the pursuit of art."

I looked at her, and I rarely saw a look of great longing on her face, but I couldn't understand the boundary between an artist and a star, after all, I was not a person in the circle, and even I didn't know if her pursuit of art really stemmed from her heart's desire, or just to give an account to her mother.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Ai suddenly grabbed my arm with one hand, pointed to the giant display screen outside the car window and said to me: "Jiangqiao, look, it's the New Year's Eve party hosted by Chen Yi."

I looked in the direction of her finger. The next moment, Chen Yi in a white dress appeared in my sight, my dying heart, as if trembling again, I haven't seen Chen Yi on TV for a long time, she seems to have been born to belong to the stage, although she is not the first hostess of this New Year's Eve party, but no one can really hide her light, she calmly controls this large-scale party, I can't see a trace of pressure and tension on her face when doing a large-scale live broadcast, She easily integrated her unique hosting style into this evening with 6 hosts.

I have a delusion, as if all the entanglements that happened before us were fake, we were originally people from two worlds, how could we entangle and be watched by countless audiences at the moment, how could she remember that there was a cowardly and almost pitiful Jiang Qiao in her life.

I smiled, finally put myself in gear, and followed the traffic out of the high-rise building where the New Year's Eve party was being shown on the display.

"Jiangqiao, do you know that Chen Yi announced that he was going to join a reality show known as the most cruel adventure in history, not only through the rainforest, but also parachuting, rock climbing, cliff diving and other extreme challenges These are all pediatrics, I heard that in order to have a unique attraction and achieve the most realistic jungle survival effect, the program team will also ask the participating stars to eat some disgusting animals raw, which I think is difficult to overcome"

I was full of surprise and immediately asked, "Chen Yi is the host of the show"

Xiao Ai asked incredulously: "Don't you really know that Chen Yi's Weibo has announced the news, she joined the show as a team member, and in a week, she should go abroad for filming." ”

I can't believe the authenticity of this news, although Chen Yi is not a pampered woman, but she has also grown up under the careful care of her parents since she was a child, how could she participate in such a cruel reality show and she has always pursued stability, how could she like this main adventure show, eating raw animals is even more unimaginable, because since she was a child, she has always been a very clean woman

I finally replied: "I still don't believe it, she is about to marry Qiu Zi'an, how could she choose to participate in such a show at this time, won't it delay the wedding date?"

Xiao Ai gave up on convincing me with words, she handed me her mobile phone, and I saw the message on Chen Yi's Weibo the next moment. It turned out that in the days when I didn't pay attention to her, she actually made such a decision that required great courage.

I suddenly remembered that when she was hosting the show just now, she had been wearing a blue scarf around her injured arm, and we were not far away, and she was not as fragile as I imagined, she had been stabbed for me not long ago, and the scar is still there
