Chapter 27: Don't let me see you in Suzhou
The next morning, I left Hengdian, returned to Suzhou in the afternoon, went to the company as soon as possible, and then reported the situation to the manager Chen Jingming, and the incident of shooting a promotional poster for GUCCI was resolved with the promise made to me by Le Yao.
This evening after work, I sat in my office for a long time and didn't leave, leaving the house where I had lived for more than two years, and the panic of having nowhere to go haunted me forever.
In fact, habit is really a terrible thing, and my pain now is entirely due to habit, to the love Janeway used to give me, to the warmth and comfort that the house used to give.
I don't understand what the hell has happened all these years? Why do you always lose the precious things in your life and gain so little?
Maybe I know the answer, but I don't want to admit it, so I comfort myself: now I finally see some hope in my work, and the progress in my work will definitely make my life better in the future, so pack up my mood and prepare for a new life!
After leaving the company, I didn't look for a new house, and decided to live with Robben for the time being, at least at night when two men who were also lonely and frustrated could talk about music and talk about this life.
……
Wandering alone on the street, bored, he plans to go to the bar to find Robben and have a few drinks.
As soon as I said go, I immediately flagged down a taxi and went to the bar where Robben was singing.
When I came to the bar, it was still the familiar lights and the crowd with trembling waists, so I just found a relatively quiet corner and sat down.
Robben came to me with a couple of beers, sat down across from me, handed me another beer, and said, "I thought you were insulated from here, why are you here again?" ”
I looked around and jokingly said, "Come here to breathe in some decadence, I've been a little too proud lately!" ”
Robben touched one with me with a wine bottle, and asked with a smile: "You are used to living a hard life, what's wrong with living proudly!" ”
I also smiled, raised the bottle, and said, "This is the realm of life, little comrade, you still have to slowly understand...... Drink! ”
Robben shrugged his shoulders with a smile, took a sip with me, and then asked me, "You went to Hengdian to find Le Yao yesterday, right?" ”
"How do you know that I'm hiding it so tightly?" I asked, surprised.
"I chatted with Le Yao on WeChat today, and she said you went."
"Actually, I went to Hengdian for work, didn't GUCCI want to set up a counter in our department store, and I didn't designate Le Yao to shoot the promotional posters of the products for them, and this drudgery fell on my head." I said and took another sip of beer.
"No wonder Le Yao said that she was happy, maybe she really thought you were going to find her at first."
"Even if I make a special trip to find her, it will have to be a weekend."
Robben nodded, and didn't ask anything more, the two drank another bottle of beer, and after a few small talks, Robben left, and it was about time for him to perform on stage.
More and more people came to the bar to find amusement, I still sat in the corner, drinking in a sip, and lost my mind for a while, and the last night with Le Yao also appeared in my mind as if it were nothing, I was a little sad because of this, this sadness is very puzzling to me, but it is real.
On the stage, Robben and another female singer in residence sang songs he had written, and there was intermittent applause from the audience, and my attention was finally drawn, and I snapped my fingers to the rhythm of the music.
Robben is actually a very talented folk singer, but he is too temperamental, he is unwilling to write some pop songs with a strong commercial smell, and he is not willing to participate in the draft of the bad street, so he has been singing in the bar in obscurity all these years, and his life is hard, but he himself doesn't seem to care too much about this kind of hardship, he often says: Playing music does not have to be famous, but there must be persistence in the heart.
It's just that after getting along for many years, I don't know what his insistence is, but that doesn't stop me from admiring him.
……
The phone vibrated in my pocket to the sound of music, and I still snapped my fingers to the rhythm, and took out the phone from my pocket and connected it without looking at the number.
The call came from Fang Yuan, and he seemed to hear the noise of the bar, and said to me, "Zhaoyang, are you fooling around in the bar again?" ”
"Have a good honeymoon and don't mess with buddy." I stood up from my seat as I spoke, swaying to the rhythm of the music and swaying with the crowd.
"Which bar are you in, I'm going to look for you."
"Didn't you go to Sanya with Yan Yan?" I asked, confused.
"It's been raining heavily in Sanya for the past few days, and I'll go back in a few days."
"I'll go back in a few days, is your marriage leave enough?"
"I can't play for a few days, it's enough...... Don't talk nonsense, you kid, tell me which bar I'm in. ”
"Soho Bar, come on, please drink."
"Then you have to prepare some silver, Yan Yan will also go, as well as Jian Wei and Xiang Chen."
Hearing the names of Jian Wei and Xiang Chen, my heart trembled, and I was stunned for a long time and scolded: "You're married and stupid, why are you bringing them here?" ”
"What are you excited about, the five of us haven't gotten together for several years, besides, don't you have a girlfriend, shout out and get together together, don't think about the messy things in the past."
"Who did you hear that I had a girlfriend?"
"Jian Wei, if you don't have a girlfriend, I can't take Jian Wei and Xiang Chen to find you unhappy, I have this bit of proportion!"
I just remembered that on the day Fang Yuan got married, I did lie in front of Jian Wei that Mi Cai was my girlfriend, but I didn't expect this lie, at this moment, like a stone that was lifted by myself, smashed hard into my feet, and I couldn't hide.
In a daze, Fang Yuan said to me again: "Actually, it is Xiang Chen's intention to get together with you, we are all brothers from the university, don't be unhappy because of those emotional things...... Now that everyone is in pairs, wouldn't it be nice to get together together! ”
I didn't know what to say, so I was silent.
Fang Yuan reminded me again, "Remember to ask your girlfriend out, I can listen to Jian Wei say: Beauty is not like words, it can make Jian Wei think so, Yan Yan and I really want to open our eyes!" ”
I was just about to say something, Fang Yuan had already hung up the phone, listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, I was dumbfounded!
……
The bar was still noisy, but I was restless, Fang Yuan had said it to this point, I couldn't run away, the bad thing was that I recklessly said that Mi Cai was my girlfriend that day, but at that time, I was really like a drowning person who urgently needed a life-saving straw, so I could quite understand what I did at the time, but what should I do now?
The six gods have been ownerless for a long time, and I finally decided to call Mi Cai, if she still has a little righteousness, she will definitely draw a knife to help.
Take out the phone,Find Mi Cai's number,But I can't press it for a long time,I still remember the day before yesterday when we moved out,We also had a quarrel because we didn't buy insecticide,And then she forced me to pay the money,I was embarrassed to leave the guitar,Almost ran away,Is it too manly to call her at this time now?
"No matter, anyway, I'm a scumbag in her eyes, what kind of integrity are you talking about."
I muttered, and then, with the reputation of a scumbag, I became bold and pressed the dial button.
Listening to the prompt tone, I was a little nervous, there was a reason for this nervousness, I was worried that Mi Cai would sneer at my unhealthy behavior, and I was even more worried that she was unwilling to save the rivers and lakes.
A moment later, the phone was connected, and I heard Mi Cai's unsmiling voice again: "What are you calling me for?" ”
"Jianghu emergency."
"Jianghu emergency? Are you ready to jump into the river and lake again? ”
I was choked half to death by Mi Cai, and only after a while did I say: "This time it's not jumping into the river, do you remember the last time at my friend's wedding, I sued a woman, you are my girlfriend?" ”
"Are you too embarrassed to mention this?"
I immediately followed Mi Cai's words and sighed: "Alas~~! Aren't you causing me trouble about this, my friends have said they want to see you, and now you're on your way here, so you can come to the Soho bar to rescue me. ”
"Jesus can't save a man like you!"
"Don't hurt me, it's really urgent, if you don't come, I'll really be embarrassed today!"
"Who cares about you!"
"I'm begging you, okay?" I said eagerly as if I had to bow my head under the eaves.
Mi Cai replied unmoved: "You ask for more blessings." ”
I was furious: "You exterminator is too reincarnated! Is there a little righteousness...... Damn, don't let me see you in Suzhou in the future......"
The phone was suddenly hung up, and listening to the "beep" hang-up tone, I was completely dumbfounded! ――
The little friends of the mobile phone station are still very powerful, and there are already 85 recommendations at this time, and the goal is completed early, and it will be four more today, the second one!
