Back in the old house that Mi Cai gave me, I was wrapped in the darkness of the night with the same attitude, so I couldn't help but think about this night in the silence of the night.

Fate seems to be a very wonderful thing, Le Yao is in debt of 1 million, but in the end, Mi Cai and Jian Wei each took out 500,000 to solve Le Yao's debt problem.

What is it that binds these three women together? I wasn't sure, and I knew that this question would haunt me for a long time.

I thought of Xiang Chen again, remembered his refusal, and remembered the picture where he deliberately asked Jian Wei if he had any money to lend me...... It is as if human nature has suddenly become vain and ethereal.

A gust of wind blew a dark cloud and obscured the moonlight, so the night became darker and thicker, I was a little tired, but I smiled helplessly, so I didn't know how hypocritical it was to laugh in order to blend into this real world.

At this moment, I would rather be a bird without legs, and I also want to shuttle through that crystal clear city, even if I can't perch, even if I die of exhaustion, but at least I have flown innocently......

……

After a sleepless night, the next day, I didn't get up until 10 o'clock, just after washing up, I received a call from Le Yao, she told me that Robben had accompanied her to pay off the loan shark, in order to express her gratitude, she planned to invite us to have a meal together at noon today, including Mi Cai, and asked me to ask Mi Cai for her.

So after ending the call with her, I dialed Mi Cai's phone, no one answered for the first time, and I called again at 11 o'clock, and she finally answered the phone, and asked me in a hurried tone: "Is there something wrong, Zhaoyang?" ”

I was very cooperative and quickened my voice and replied: "Le Yao has already paid off the loan shark owed, and in order to express her gratitude, she plans to invite us to have a meal together at noon." ”

"I'm in Shanghai right now for a business meeting."

"Oh, why don't you do it at night, are you free at night?"

"There are other business talks in the afternoon, and I may not be able to go back today, so let's get together."

I didn't say anything more, after all, the work was important, but after telling Mi Cai "don't be too tired", they hung up the phone.

I stood by the window for a long time, and the direct sunlight at noon dispelled the cold of winter, and I finally moved the plates of plants raised by Micai to the balcony, so that they could enjoy the warmth of the sun, and they might grow better when the spring was warm next year.

……

At 12 o'clock at noon, I, Le Yao, and Robben came to CC's "Empty City" music restaurant, and CC had already prepared something to eat and drink, and the four of them sat down around the table.

CC asked me, "Zhaoyang, have you asked Mi Cai for a date?" ”

"I called her, she was in Shanghai for a meeting, and she couldn't come." I replied.

CC said regretfully: "Le Yao sincerely wants to invite her to dinner!" ”

"Another day, there are a lot of opportunities."

Le Yao took over the conversation and said, "I'll go to Beijing this afternoon, and I may not go back to Suzhou this year." ”

"What, did you get a new play?"

Le Yao shook her head and said, "No, but there are more opportunities to stay in Beijing, and try your best to get a new drama this year." ”

I felt the sadness in Le Yao's words, she has not yet become famous, going to Beijing means wandering and being left out in the cold, she is about to walk on a road full of hardships, but what can be done? People always have to be busy, to endure, to work hard in order to live...... But she is just an insecure woman after all, and she can only silently wish her a smooth road in her heart.

Robben put his arm around Le Yao's shoulders and comforted: "Beijing, I have a lot of friends who play music, I will let them take care of you when you get there, if you can't do anything, just trouble them, they are all happy people." ”

"Well, thank you Robben." Le Yao smiled.

"Don't be so polite, old friend for so many years." Robben said with a smile in return.

Le Yao nodded, and CC patted me on the shoulder again and asked, "Zhaoyang, you are so silent, do you have nothing to say to Le Yao?" ”

"I have something to say." I answered, looked at Le Yao again and said, "Take care of yourself when you arrive in Beijing, don't put too much pressure on yourself, as for the bar, I will help you run it." ”

CC also echoed: "Well, Zhaoyang is right, we will help with the bar, and when you come back from Beijing next time, we will definitely make the bar impressive." ”

Le Yao looked at us for a long time, with tears in her eyes, and finally choked up and said: "It is my greatest luck to meet your group of friends on the road of life, thank you...... I will definitely work hard this time, for myself and for you! ”

We all nodded, and CC, who was the most adept at adjusting the atmosphere, raised his glass and said, "Then let's toast to our friendship...... I wish Le Yao a smooth journey and a smooth star journey! ”

"Have a good journey, and the stars are smooth!"

Our glasses collided together, and the wine shook in the glasses, as if shaking out the trauma of youth, the helplessness of life, and the pain of life...... And the only remaining hope for the future!

……

After lunch, Robben and I helped Le Yao carry her luggage, and CC flagged down a taxi for her, which she would take to the airport later, and then leave Suzhou and fly to Beijing, the city that carried her dreams.

Le Yao took out a bank card from her wallet, which was the one Jian Wei gave me yesterday, and she said to me: "There is still 150,000 yuan in this card, which will be used as the liquidity of the bar in the future." ”

"Hmm." I nodded and took it.

The taxi driver was already urging, Le Yao looked at us, and finally said to me: "Zhaoyang, don't worry, this million arrears, even if I die, I will definitely pay it off, and I won't let you owe others favors." ”

I frowned and said, "What is not dead, we all have to live, and we have to live beautifully...... Don't put too much pressure on yourself when it comes to money, you know? ”

Le Yao just looked at me, took the luggage from Robben and me, and walked towards the taxi.

Looking at her thin back, I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart, and lit a cigarette for myself in silence, and CC and Robben also tacitly lit a cigarette for themselves, at this moment, I believe we are in the same mood, we see the heaviness of life in the back of her departure, and we are more worried that her thin body will be overwhelmed!

I threw my head up, closed my eyes, and exhaled the cigarette in my mouth...... Is there really a crystal clear city in this world?

If so, please gently rest our weary souls!

……

When we opened our eyes again, the taxi was no longer in our sight, and I, Robben, and CC, stood in the same posture in the sun, but endured the cutting of the cold wind.

I said to the two, "It hasn't snowed this winter, has it?" ”

Robben nodded, looked at the far north, and said for a long time: "I heard that Beijing has been ...... Fuck, a snow that has nothing to do with me, but it's covering my wounds. ”

CC didn't understand Robben's feelings, but I knew that the "snow in Beijing" that he inadvertently mentioned reminded him of the Beijing girl he couldn't forget.

I finally smiled and said to the CC who didn't know why, "Ignore him, the folk singers are all neurotics, and they don't know what they're talking about, let's go back and continue drinking." ”

I walked towards the restaurant with CC in my arms, but she looked back, while Robben still looked north in CC's lookout...... Even I don't know what he's thinking at this moment.
