Following the original road, I carried Le Yao back to the underpass, which made the road we had just walked back and forth full of nostalgic flavor, and other than that, there was no other meaning, because we didn't do anything, and we didn't follow the lights into the splendid new city, and then turned back.

I let go of Le Yao in a gasp, she didn't say anything, just waved to Robben and me, walked to the opposite street, and then got into her car, and soon disappeared from the sight of the old town and me.

I looked in the direction where she had left for a long time, and finally said to Robben beside me: "You have done such a heavy thing for me, why don't I have any feelings to be grateful for?" On the contrary, my heart is a little heavy!

Robben handed me a cigarette, and after the two of them lit it, they took a deep breath before sighing and saying: "This woman looks glamorous, but her fate is much more bumpy than ordinary people, I really hope that Cao Jinfei is a reliable man, if it is really the legendary business marriage, interest marriage, I will feel heartache for her!" ”

"Who doesn't hurt, I hope Cao Jinfei will give her a happy marriage."

Robben looked at me, and finally didn't say anything, patted me on the shoulder, then picked up the guitar, rode his motorcycle, and left firstSo, at the entrance of this underground passage, only myself and those strangers came and went, remembering that Robben had Wei Manwen by his side, Le Yao at least had a girl with him, I felt it, the loneliness that could not be suppressed was surging towards me, at this moment, I didn't know where to go

I rode back to the company on the moped I had borrowed from the company staff, and then drove my own car around the city without any direction, and then subconsciously dominated by the moat, in fact I hadn't been here for a long time, I remember the last time I came, I was wearing only a thin coat, and now, the edge of the river has formed a thick layer of ice.

Standing on the edge of the guardrail and smoking a cigarette, I finally took off my gloves and took out my mobile phone to make a call to Janeway, she seemed to be still busy and didn't answer the phone immediately, I didn't rush to call again, put the phone back in my pocket, just looked at the reflection of the street lamp in the river, and didn't think about anything, including the woman who was far away in the United States and had not been in touch for several days, but it haunted me.

The familiar smell of perfume came with the cold wind, and I turned to look, Janeway was already standing beside me, she didn't look at me, but said, "I just saw you standing on the edge of the guardrail, so I didn't answer your call." ”

"I see."

"Well, what are you calling me for?"

"It's to sue you, Le Yao agreed to sign that contract, I gave her, the highest salary of 3 million we set in advance, you have no opinion, right?"

"She's worth the salary, which is acceptable to me." He smiled and said: "It would be better if you could talk about hundreds of thousands less, and these hundreds of thousands can buy a small advertising space in a prime location in the city center." ”

I also smiled, raised my hand and took another puff of cigarette, and said to her: "Actually, the 3 million salary Le Yao did not put into her own pocket, she donated it to a poor mountainous area to build roads." ”

Janeway was a little surprised: "Huh? It seems that she has some connection to that mountain village. ”

I nodded: "Yes, the girl is the one she brought out of that small mountain village, and Robben's wife, who also used to teach in that small mountain village is very poor and backward, but after going around a few mountains, you can still see a section of railroad tracks with a train passing through, which surprised me!" ”

"Have you been there?"

"Twice." After a long pause, he said, "It's a place where you can cleanse your soul." ”

"Oh, if you like it there, we can build a Hope Primary School there in the name of the company to improve the teaching conditions there, and I have a chance to go and have a look."

"Of course it's good, but I have to wait for the company to finish the micro-film"

Janeway answered and didn't speak again, just crouched on the guardrail, repeating what I had just done, looking at the lights and shadows swaying on the river, looking so lonely, but I was also lonely at this moment, and I couldn't mingle with her, and the story wouldn't continue to happen by this moat I knew that I should leave in order not to make the two of them more lonely.

Before parting, I said to Jian Wei: "Le Yao is going to sign the contract, you can tell Fang Yuan on my behalf." ”

"Why don't you sue him personally? He's been waiting for news from you! ”

"Before, you sued him for Le Yao not signing the contract, but now it's up to you to sue him that he has solved this matter, so it looks like there is a beginning and an end!"

"Are you accusing me of suing him for this?"

"No, even if you don't say it, he will know through other channels, in fact, I don't want to call anymore at this time, I want to turn off the phone, and then be alone, if you can fall asleep in bed, that's better!"

"Then you go back to rest, I'll call him."

"You should go back to this moat sooner, it's really not so beautiful in this bare winter! If you see too much, people will be negative. ”

Janeway just shrugged her shoulders and didn't say exactly how long she was going to stay here, and I really wanted to leave, and then lie down on the bed and cover my head and sleep

Back to the accommodation, I lay on the bed, about to turn off the phone as planned, but the ringtone rang unexpectedly, I thought it was Mi Cai's, hurriedly picked it up and looked, but it was the store manager in the empty city called, she had never called me so late, thinking that something tricky had happened, so I connected in a trace of worry, her tone was not as anxious as I imagined, and said to me: "Mr. Zhao, you hurry up to the restaurant, Sister CC, she drank a lot of wine, people are almost unconscious, I don't know where she lives, Come and pick her up. ”

I then remembered what Robben said: To marry Wei Manwen on New Year's Day, CC must have been stimulated by their upcoming wedding, all her pretense of strength and pretense was finally ruthlessly torn apart on this lonely night, I know: the more rational a woman, the more the pain after drinking will increase exponentially, because when she is sober, she is too repressed too hard!

Ended the call with the store manager, I hurriedly put on my clothes, hurriedly left the residence, and hurried towards the "empty city" in the boundless night, and the store manager chose to call me correctly, in this city, CC is actually lonely, so, there are not many friends who can help her after drinking, Robben is one, but it is no longer suitable to go, Le Yao is also one, but her strength is not enough, and Mi Cai is even more impractical, she is busy on the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away

After a while, I rushed to the empty city, CC was already lying on the table unconscious, the waiter was cleaning the vomit on the ground, I didn't need to ask, I also knew how much wine she drank and the amount of wine also interpreted her sad Cheng dù, you know, CC has never been drunk in the circle of friends, this time she was really hurt by herself, and her heart was broken!

I walked through the dark alley with CC in my arms, then put her in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt again, and tried to talk to her, but she just gasped heavily, and kept saying that she was sad, I knew that she was sad not only physically, but also sad about the heart that had nowhere to put it, but this qiē will have an ending after all, she should have expected such a day, but she was still not psychologically prepared enough, think about it, wishful thinking love, is really the most terrible devil in the world, It is the softest soul of man that is tormented.

I didn't start the car immediately, but rummaged through the keys to her residence in CC's bag, and only started the car after finding it, and CC vomited again in pain, but there was no food, all the pungent smell of alcohol and gastric juice, I felt extremely painful for her in my heart, I really wanted to wake her up, and ask her what she had done that night, except for drinking, did she not have the consciousness to do anything else? Even if you go to a movie to divert your attention, it's much better than now!

Halfway through, I went to the pharmacy to buy some hangover medicine, went home and got a change of clothes, then sent CC to her residence, carried her to the bed, took off her coat for her, and then put a hot towel on her head, and then I went to the bathroom to take a hot shower to wash off the smell of alcohol stuck to my body, but I shook my head and smiled bitterly, remembering how many times I had troubled CC like this, and it wasn't until a few years later that we had the opportunity to switch roles.

After the shower, I made CC another glass of milk, she was still dizzy and drank some, I knew she would still vomit, so I took a laundry tub and put it next to the bed, and then made a bunk to take care of her.

CC really drank too much, and I didn't even have the strength to make trouble and talk nonsense, but I just vomited intermittently, so I couldn't be idle until one o'clock in the night, and finally stopped a little, but I didn't feel sleepy, and kept thinking about the rights and wrongs that happened to us

The ringtone of the mobile phone broke the silence of the night again, I thought it was Robben who called to care about CC, but this time it was Mi Cai calling, life is still so frustrating to create all kinds of accidents for us, if it weren't for this sudden call, I even doubted, whether I had appeared in Mi Cai's thoughts in the past few days.

I exhaled and finally connected to Mi Cai's phone and greeted her in a calm tone: "Good evening"

Mi Cai smiled: "You should tell me good afternoon, I'll tell you good evening, right." ”

"Don't worry about the details."

"Well, how are you doing these days, aren't you tired?"

I didn't want her to worry, so I replied: "It's good, it's running normally, but it's true that I'm tired and I'm at CC's residence now, and she drank herself down, and her vomiting hasn't completely stopped yet!" ”

Mi Cai's tone was full of concern: "She drinks a lot of wine, and she has always been very sensible, how can she drink herself so drunk?" ”

"No matter how good the amount of alcohol is, I can't help myself from wanting to get drunk Robben is going to marry Teacher Wei on New Year's Day!"
