Chapter 50: A Dream
After Le Yao left, I sat alone in front of the wall for a long time, I seemed to see the loneliness turn into a gust of wind blowing past me, I turned on the lighter, watched the flames jump in the wind, and then extinguished, after repeating this a few times, the loneliness in my heart also seemed to be burned out, and then a strange feeling arose, not good, not bad, but it trapped my body, so that I didn't want to leave here immediately, to pursue the lights of the city
A high-speed train roared coming, and in this endless wilderness, there were suddenly people, but unfortunately Le Yao didn't see this scene, but I didn't dare to take this long-time train as a gift to me this night, because I saw those people in the carriage who were walking through the journey, even more lonely than me, at least behind me was my hometown, but they were uprooted because of this journey
Since Mi Cai officially served as the CEO of New Green Energy, her exposure has increased significantly, so this night after returning home I saw the news about her again, this time, she represented the group vertical acquisition of a downstream large-scale enterprise mainly engaged in the manufacture of energy-saving electrical appliances, this acquisition is known as a textbook-like classic case by the industry, and unanimously believes that after the acquisition of this enterprise, New Green Energy will have a new breakthrough in technology and energy market share, and will lead the development of this industry, Become a veritable energy giant!
I lit a cigarette, put down the tablet in my hand, and thought about Mi Cai's current appearance, presumably once again devoted to heavy work, she should have gained some weight during the travel period should also return to normal, but unfortunately, this time about her acquisition on behalf of the group is only a text report, and the picture is only a photo of her used to be, otherwise I can really take this opportunity to see what she looks like now.
I looked at the ceiling, took a deep breath of cigarette, and was extremely eager to make another breakthrough in my career, because at the moment what I was doing was a small fight compared to Mi Cai, how could I lose to my own woman who was far away?
That's right, at this time, I have regarded Mi Cai as my competitor in the career, I may not have so much energy to get involved in the energy industry, but at least not worse than her, so that the day she comes back to me, we no longer have to worry about the gap in status, at that time, I don't want to call her Mr. Mi, nor do I want her to call me Mr. Zhao, we can leave wealth behind, hold hands together, or dusk, or morning, and then go to the road of Mochou!
The next day, in this winter city, it is rare to see the blue sky like a jewel, I came to the interest, put on the long-lost sports equipment and ran along the familiar moat, and then sat on the transformed small fitness square and talked to the old man Li about the group of pigeons he raised, and the cat I gave him last time, and later, we went to the newly opened snack bar opposite, drank a bowl of spicy soup, ate a few rice cakes, of course, the last payment is still me, because the old man Li is not a very generous person, But this does not affect me to come here to chat with him whenever I have time, because I like the world of the elderly very much, their wealth, feelings, have been set, there will be no more changes, aside from life and death, they have a sense of security in life, which is what we young people lack the most, so I envy him very much.
After breakfast, I walked to the square by the moat with Old Man Li, today is my rare day off, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to enjoy a morning with blue sky and sunshine here.
The aunts who helped me take care of the guitar gave me back the guitar that Mi Cai used to use, and took the opportunity to encourage me to sing to them, which made me have a tendency to become a friend of women, but I didn't care at all, smiled and asked them, "What song do you want to listen to?" β
One of the leading dancers replied kindly: "Sing what you want to sing this time, our group of aunts have forced you to sing the square song for so long, and we should give you the right to sing freely, sing well, child!" Sing it, and we'll all listen to you sing pop songs in the future! β
I pretended to be polite and replied, "Auntie, this is your territory, you just have fun!" But don't say anything about how you forced me, even if you really forced me, I wouldn't dare to be affectionate, after all, I still want to come here to sit in the future! β
The lead dancer covered her mouth and smiled, patted me on the shoulder again, and said, "Naughty! Speak ill of us around the corner! β
I smiled with my aunt, and then closed my eyes and thought carefully about what song to sing, because aunts are usually too domineering, so such an opportunity to choose to sing is too rare, after a while, I finally plucked the strings of the guitar, this time I don't want to sing ballads, I don't want to sing rock, I sang a classic song in pop music "A Dream", as for why I sang this song, I don't know, maybe it's just out of inertia, because I have sung this "Dream" here countless times, I remember that Jian Wei really liked to listen to it at that time, and of course I also loved the house and Wu!
"We all promise each other because of loneliness, we are all tired of life because of torture, just such days, the same way, how long will it take, we changed our attitude and accepted each other, we wronged ourselves to fulfill whose dreams, just such days, how much is left, it doesn't matter, often think of the past warmth, it makes me not cold at night, you say that a person's beauty is serious, two people can be together is fate, I knew it was like this, like a dream, why should I put love in the same place, I can forgive your arrogance, arrogance is that I can't forget by myself, I knew it was like this, like a dream, why should I lock all my tears in my eyes, let you go crazy, let you go crazy, let you be strong without me, let me heal without you"
I sang with my eyes closed throughout the whole process, because the lyrics in it seemed to be talking about the past between me and Janeway, after separation, she was strong where there was no me, and I healed where there was no her, and now it seems that the love that created countless feelings for us was really just a dream in the morning when we were not awake enough, but in our dreams, we really made each other bloody, and then each of them hurt for many years, but who should we blame?
It's just that they blame each other for being too young and not finding the most correct way to deal with love!
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Janeway wearing a hood and a mask, she was standing next to me, and she seemed to listen to me the whole time
I hurriedly dusted off my pants, got up from the ground, and looked at her a little bewildered, I never thought she would come to this place again since she lost part of her memory
She took off her mask casually, put down her coverall, combed her sideburns and said to me, "It turns out that you can play the guitar and sing well!" β
I nodded, suppressing my nervousness, and asked her, "Why did you come here?" β
She looked up at the sky and replied, "The air is good today, so I want to go out for a walk, and I came here unconsciously, but the surrounding environment seems to have been transformed, and I remember that this section of the river did not have this fitness plaza before." β
I don't know why, after trying out that Janeway's memory was still missing, I felt a little relaxed in my heart, and I finally said to her: "This fitness plaza was built in the first half of this year, and since this square has been built, there have been more people who come here to walk and exercise, and it was quite deserted before!" β
"Hehe" Janeway smiled, then turned and leaned on the guardrail by the river, she looked at the opposite bank that had not been renovated, there were still high-rise buildings there, full of modern urban atmosphere.
I put my guitar in the case, carried it on my back, and stood beside her, greeting the breeze blowing from across the river, as if winter in Suzhou had never been so gentle in my memory.
"Zhaoyang, can you tell sΓΉ what it's like to like someone?"
I thought about it for a moment and replied, "Like someone, sometimes even waiting for him or her is a kind of happiness!" β
She finally turned to look at me, but I couldn't make eye contact with her, just looked at the river in front of me where Janeway and I had jumped, and at that time, I jumped down to save the guitar she gave me, but she saved my life, and at this time, the river seemed so calm that I had never experienced this thrilling thing.
I lit a cigarette, Janeway put on her mask again, she hated the smell of smoke that diffused from me, and so the topic ended, and we fell into silence, and I was not uncomfortable because of this silence, because in Janeway's eyes, I was at most a friend who was stronger by strangers, and our past was just a dream of inadvertently forgetting to her now, so we didn't have to face each other with a heavy burden as we once did.
After a while, Janeway didn't say goodbye to me, and walked along the road on the riverbank in the direction of her return, and when she was about to lose sight, a taxi stopped on the riverbank, and then Mo Zishi opened the door, and he walked from the road above to the path by the riverbank, hurrying after Janeway's footsteps
They went farther and farther away in the tugging, and in the end they seemed to hold hands, and it seemed that I was too far away from them without holding me, and there was no way to see it really!
It was as if I had a dream in a trance, and my morning was over!
In the afternoon, I went to the Mochou Road in Nanjing, I wanted to see the cat with very small ears that I raised in the "Mochou Coffee Shop", why should I raise this cat?
Just because the cat dealer told me that it takes about two years for this breed of cat to fully grow, I bought it with a heart, I calculated, when this cat stops growing, Mi Cai should come back, and with this way of comparison to wait, time will not be so difficult, this is my experience in the year after Mi Cai left.
I pushed open the door of the "Mochou Coffee Shop" in the gentle afternoon sun, and shouted as soon as I opened my mouth: "Knife (the name I gave the cat), Knife, your brother is here, why don't you come out quickly to pick it up." β
Immediately, a gray kitten about the length of chopsticks cowered in the corner under the bar and "meowed" twice, I walked over and picked it up, complaining, "Are you worthy of me giving you such a tough guy name?" The last time you came, you hid next to the flower pot to pee, and this time you huddled under the bar and shivered, can't you welcome your brother in a brave way? β
The waiters were amused by me, and they all covered their mouths and laughed, but I didn't care about it at all, and I really looked at it several times in my arms, and it grew very slowly, and I didn't notice that it was growing up during this time, so I put it back under the bar and continued to shake it in frustration
This afternoon, I stayed in the "Mochou Coffee Shop" and made a few simple flower stands out of idle wood, and I have planned to plant all kinds of flowers in the small yard behind me when spring arrives next year.
Winter dusk has come at about four o'clock, after I am busy, holding a knife, sitting near the window, enjoying a cup of coffee, and I will go back to Suzhou later, but I am reluctant to this coffee shop, especially the rainbow-shaped window, and the carefree experience here, sometimes I also think: if I am not dragged down by the worldly fame and fortune, I really hope to stay in this Mochou coffee shop, as if I have a dream waiting for Mi Cai to return.
In the process of drinking coffee, I saw an entertainment news about Le Yao, her agent took her to make a statement, from now on she will follow her father's surname Xiao, renamed Xiao Yao, in the future, if she and Cao Jinfei have two children, one will follow her surname Xiao, and the other will naturally be surnamed Cao with Cao Jinfei
After this statement was released, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the public, and they were all speculating about what happened to Le Yao's past, why did she follow her mother's surname halfway, and now she takes her father's surname? However, this kind of discussion is completely meaningless in the eyes of those of us who are insiders, if it weren't for Le Yao's insistence, she would have followed her father's surname a few years ago, so why bother to wander to Suzhou, after those years full of hardship, I still remember clearly: At that time, she was really just a little model who often had no work to pick up!
Just when I was about to lock the screen of my mobile phone, I inadvertently saw another lace news, and the protagonist turned out to be Fang Yuan, who has always been cautious and conservative, and broke the news in the news, he and a female star from Chongqing are suspected of having an improper relationship between men and women, and someone has seen the two behaving intimately in and out of a luxury hotel in Macau!
