Chapter 44: She's in real power
The snow was still falling above Robben and me, and the whole world became so transparent that we could see the end of the street from the street at a glance, but we could no longer see the taxi carrying the CC in our sight, and we were still gasping for breath when the snow fell.
I put my hands on my chest, and my throat seemed to be on fire, and I said to Robben full of pain, "This is really uncatchable!" ”
Robben was no better than I was, he gasped, but his face was expressionless, he stared at the world so white that it was a little desolate, he suddenly sat down on the ground with a weak breath, and the heavy snow became a burden on him, and a few snowflakes fell on his recently grown beard, as if crushing him.
At last a taxi passed us, and I reached out to stop it, and said to Robben, "Look for her, maybe you can meet her." ”
"Forget it, if she really wants to meet us, since she is here, at least contact you Zhaoyang, I almost forgot, she is already married!" Robben laughed as he spoke, laughing, laughing, laughing and grieving.
He wiped off the snowflakes that had fallen on his stubble and eyebrows.
I finally replied: "Let's end it, anyway, the woman you love most in your life is Wei Manwen, and it has never been her." ”
Robben looked up at me
I pulled him up from the ground, stuffed him into the taxi, and said to the driver, "Master, drive ahead, wait for me to stop." ”
The driver nodded, he turned to look at Robben and asked, "What's wrong with this young man?" The face is weird and scary! ”
"It's okay, he's just a little sad donkey master, hurry up, let's find someone."
The car is very unclear driving on the white road, the road is getting wider and wider, and the whole world is becoming more and more lonely in a pure white with no end in sight, I even suspect that Robben has looked away, where can there be CC in such a monotonous city at the moment, such a colorful woman like fireworks.
Robben, the sad donkey, finally opened his mouth, but said to the driver: "Master, you drive the car to Tongjing North Road." ”
I suddenly asked Robben, "You mean CC went to the restaurant in the empty city?" ”
"When she goes back to Suzhou, she will definitely go there, where she has half her youth."
I nodded, thinking that CC used the most beautiful half of his youth to love this man named Robben, but after all, I missed it, but I didn't feel too sorry for CC, because she did her best, and Robben shouldn't be criticized, just created and fooled people.
The car soon took me and Robben to Tongjing North Road, we got off the bus on the street to the "Empty City Restaurant", and then walked through the alley without street lights to the door of the restaurant, and found that the restaurant that had passed the meal time was crowded with people, so we couldn't see who was standing on the performance stage that was surrounded, but we already knew in our hearts that she was the soul of this restaurant, no matter how long she had been gone!
Robben and I pushed the door open and entered the restaurant, and then stood in the crowd and looked at the woman who was singing for everyone on stage, she didn't have a guitar, she just snapped her fingers, and sang the song "The End of the World" written by Robben
"The ends of the earth are floating, drifting into sadness tonight, where is my hometown, I have a home, called talking to myself, I have a room, the room is full of her sorrow!"
CC's magnetic voice sang a faint sadness, her eyes were a little moist, but finally ended the song with a smile, and then folded her hands to thank everyone present, many of whom were old customers in the empty city for many years, and like us, they hadn't seen CC, the sometimes laughing, sometimes sad and reluctant to say a word.
"CC boss lady, let's sing us a song, it's really too long, too long, I haven't heard your voice, see you again today, it's like returning to those old days, this feeling is really indescribable, really good!"
CC smiled, wanting to meet everyone's requirements, but the store manager who was brought out by CC was unwilling to let her sing anymore anyway, and the store manager said: "Sister CC, don't sing anymore, you are 7 months pregnant, be careful of fetal gas!" ”
CC looked at the people who were still waiting with some apologies, and after being reminded by the store manager, everyone also showed full understanding, and they chatted around CC, caring about her whereabouts and life after leaving, and congratulating her on getting married and becoming an expectant mother.
This scene made Robben lower his head, I saw in him the meaning that it was better to see each other than to miss it, and then, he turned around silently, and left this "empty city" without everyone noticing, but I didn't keep up with him, because there was only a sister-brother relationship between me and CC, not to mention that I really missed her, of course, I didn't stop Robben from leaving, this is his right!
I finally squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of CC, and then I saw her for real, even though she was wearing a loose black coat, it still couldn't cover her bulging belly, she was really pregnant
I watched her laugh, she watched me shed tears, and finally I couldn't hold back, in front of everyone's eyes, a man's tears flowed, I hugged her into my arms again, choked up and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you look very good!" ”
"Well, I'm happy now, what about you? Are you okay? And Mi'er, how is she? ”
When CC asked about Mi Cai, I was so sad that I didn't want to think of this place as a place to talk, so I didn't say a word, which made CC leave my arms, and she signaled to everyone that she was leaving, and then pulled me out of the "empty city" restaurant
We found a bubble tea shop nearby, and then we finally had room to talk, and she asked me, "How did you remember to come to the restaurant in the empty city today?" ”
"It was Robben who saw you sitting in a taxi on the road, and we chased you to the restaurant, but then he left!"
Maybe this is the first time in a year that someone has mentioned the name Robben in front of CC, her face is full of complexity, but her smile seems to be the expression that everyone is best at using after so many years, she smiled and said, "Robben is he okay?" You should already be married to Mr. Wei, right? ”
"No, they're not married!"
CC's expression was full of surprise, and she asked, "What's wrong, why didn't you get married?" ”
"Teacher Wei, she returned to that small mountain village, and later married Zhou Hang, who is the doctor in that town, you should have an image of him."
"This!" CC only said the word "this" and raised her head, she didn't let the tears rolling in her eyes fall, of course I know what she was thinking, but some feelings missed, that is, I miss I believe CC knows these better than me, otherwise how could she make up her mind to get married and have children?
I tried to change the subject, so I asked her, "What about you?" How have you been this year? ”
CC put her hand on the wing of her nose, she wiped away her tears, and said to me with a smile, "It's good, didn't I send you a message last time?" Saying that I met the right person on the way to travel and that I am now married is actually quite happy! ”
"That's why you're going back to Suzhou?"
"I didn't come to Suzhou on purpose, the child in my belly is about to be born in a few months, and the medical conditions in Shanghai are relatively better, so my mother-in-law accompanied me to Shanghai to give birth, but it snowed this afternoon, which reminded me of the day I left Suzhou, so I couldn't help but come back and look at it, it seems that it is still the same here, but so many things have happened!"
"Hmm."
"What about you, you and Mi'er should be married too, right?"
I turned my head to look out the window at the snow-white world, and it took me a long time to tell CC what had happened in the past year, including Fang Yuan's betrayal, Janeway's serious injury, and Mi Cai's departure from the United States
CC calmly listened to me finish this thrilling qiē, but the moment I finished speaking, a sad expression appeared on my face, so sad that I didn't know how to look at our year.
And at this time, it shows how right it was for her to choose to leave, I'm afraid no one has lived a more burdensome year than hers, I can see that her current life does not involve sentimentality, only forgetting and giving up the ease after being reckless Perhaps, she is an example to all of us, because sometimes giving up really requires more courage than pursuing, but she did it, although with a little regret.
She finally asked me, "Did you really decide to just wait for Mi'er to come back indefinitely?" ”
"Wait, if I don't wait, won't the agreement between us become a lie?"
"Well, I'm glad for Mi'er for your persistence."
I looked at her, and then fell into a short silence, as if after a year of blankness, we could talk to each other a lot, and I thought: this is how it should be, because I can no longer talk to her about Robben, and she is also worried that talking about Mi Cai will make me sad, so that there must be a lot less talk between us.
The night was already dark, I didn't want CC, a pregnant woman, to stay up late with me because I was still unsatisfied, I sent her to a nearby hotel, and hoped that she would not be in a hurry to go back to Shanghai tomorrow, I wanted to invite her to lunch, CC promised me, I felt that she would not leave my world again so soon, in fact, I really have too many words, too many feelings to talk to her
Late at night after returning home, I habitually opened my mobile phone to browse financial news from the United States, and this time, I finally saw the information of Mi Cai's return again after a few months, and it was an explosive message
At this time, Mi Cai has returned to the United States, and officially became the CEO of New Green Energy After a year, I finally saw a Mi Cai who really holds the real power, but there are still places that make me feel puzzling, what factors made her complete such a leap in New Green Energy, and why is Yan Zhuomei willing to hand over the real power in her hands?
