The spring evening breeze blew through the river in Xitang, and the sunset reflected the earth in a golden yellow, and I sat alone on the balcony of the inn smoking a cigarette, thinking about how to solve the rent of 70,000 yuan.

I took my phone out of my pocket and looked through the address book over and over again, but I never made up my mind to borrow this money from someone, because this not small amount of rent money is not so easy to borrow, and not everyone will treat me like Le Yao.

I put my phone back in my pocket and flicked the cigarette ash hard, and the whole person fell into confusion, I was a little helpless, but I had to do it.

The most beautiful thing in the world is that when you long for a look and look forward to a spring breeze, she just passed by, but at this moment there is no such person in my world, and it seems that only her back is left.

Picked up the guitar and was about to open my voice to sing a song, but the phone vibrated in my pocket, I took it out and looked at it, it was sent by Mi Cai, she cared about whether I had dinner.

I messaged her back: "It's only 6 o'clock in the morning over there, why do you get up so early?" ”

She sent me a photo of her in a tracksuit with a special running arm cover.

"Run?"

"Well, spring is a season for exercise."

I smiled and sent her a message back: "It turns out that beauties also have to be maintained by the day after tomorrow, if you don't like exercise, it is estimated that this figure will also have to be out of shape." ”

"That's not necessarily, when I'm busy at work, I often don't exercise for a few weeks."

"If you have the ability, you won't exercise for a few months."

This topic seemed a bit boring to Mi Cai, so she avoided it and asked me, "How is the inn running lately?" ”

"That's good."

"Keep it up!"

"Well, the morning air is just right, you should hurry up and go for a run."

This time, it took a while for Mi Cai to reply to the message: "Don't you care how I'm doing here?" ”

I touched the tip of my nose, only to find that I would always subconsciously think that she was doing well, after all, she was a woman shrouded in aura, and she would not encounter extremely deep nights, and her proud light would not be reversed, so she must be doing well, this is my logic for a long time.

Only then did I realize that I had been hiding an excuse in my body that I thought she was doing well.

"And how are you doing over there?"

"It rained heavily in New York yesterday, and the flowers on the windowsill of the hotel were drenched in several pots!"

"Does this have anything to do with whether or not you are doing well?"

"Yes, if I remember to move them into the house, they won't get drenched."

"So if you blame yourself and feel bad, you won't have a good time?"

"Yes."

"Remember to move in before the next rain."

"Okay."

My conversation with Mi Cai stopped here, but I understood that she still has a delicate heart under her dazzling aura, so a small incident will also be made vigorous by her, and then make herself lost and sad.

She's it! It's just an ordinary woman.

……

At the beginning of the day, I deliberately shuttled through the newly renovated rooms to mop the floor, wipe the furniture, and then I was very tired, lying on the floor and gasping for breath, so those worries had no room to survive, and all disappeared into my world.

In my drowsiness, the phone rang again, and it was an unfamiliar number.

I connected, and a woman's voice came: "Is this the owner of the inn?" ”

I thought the voice was familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize it, so I said, "Well, that's right. ”

"I saw the promotional picture of your inn in the forum, and I want to go to your inn."

"Come on, our inn is still very cost-effective."

"I've already arrived at the station in Xitang, please come and pick me up."

"Okay, what do you call it?"

"The surname is Li."

"Li Xiaoyun?"

"You hear that, huh?"

I was surprised and asked, "It's really you!" How did you come to Xitang? ”

"I'm on annual leave, I'm thinking about where to relax, I heard my aunt say that you opened an inn in Xitang, so come and see it by the way."

"Why aren't you the cell phone number you used to be?"

"It's been changed a long time ago."

I realized that I hadn't been in contact with her in a long time, so the number was so foreign to me.

"You wait at the station for a while, and I'll go over."

Li Xiaoyun advised, "Drive your car slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

I answered and hung up the phone, I also smiled, an ancient town of Xitang condensed my big life into a small life, they came one after another, one after another, and finally only walked in my memory, no one will really stay, such a wandering view of the flowers has made me have a deeper understanding of the word "passerby".

……

I drove the van left behind by the former innkeeper to Xitang Station, and I arrived at my destination in a short time.

Under the platform, Li Xiaoyun was wearing a light blue denim jacket, her hair was tied into a bun, and she was wearing a pair of newbalance sneakers under her feet, looking like she was traveling.

I rolled down the window and motioned for her to get in, and she smiled and opened the passenger door and sat down next to me.

On the way, I was chatting with Li Xiaoyun while driving, and I said to her: "I was quite surprised that you came to Xitang." ”

"Pass by the road and go to Gulangyu in Xiamen the day after tomorrow."

I nodded, not finding the next topic, and there was a brief silence.

After a long time, Li Xiaoyun said to me again: "Zhaoyang, I still have something to tell you this time." ”

I smiled and said, "It's to tell me, have you found a partner and ended the blind date journey?" ”

"Don't kid me, I'm down to business."

I finally looked at her and waited for her to continue.

Li Xiaoyun was silent for a while before looking at me and said, "Auntie doesn't seem to support you staying in Xitang to open an inn, and she has been asking your uncle to arrange a job for you in their unit these days, just to let you stay in Xuzhou and live a solid life." ”

"Is it reliable?"

"Well, my aunt told my mother when she was playing mahjong at my house, maybe I'll come to Xitang to find you in the next few days."

My heart seems to have been poured with a basin of cold water, and the matter of rent has not yet been resolved, and this troublesome matter has come again.

After a while, I said: "I have invested nearly 200,000 yuan in the inn here, and it is impossible to give up halfway no matter what." ”

"I'm only in charge of the whistle-blowing, and the final decision is still up to you...... But you also have to be considerate of Auntie, after all, everyone expects the old to have something to rely on, don't you? ”

I nodded, because from my mother's point of view, her decision was reasonable, but the matter of returning to Xuzhou was like cold rice to me, and I was fired by my mother over and over again.

After a long time, Li Xiaoyun asked me again, "What does your girlfriend think of you opening an inn in Xitang?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when I and Mi Cai confirmed the relationship in Xuzhou that day, Li Xiaoyun was one of the bystanders, in her eyes Mi Cai was indeed my girlfriend, but at this time I couldn't figure out what the relationship with Mi Cai was, there were too many unresolved things between us, making us strange but close.

I finally said to Li Xiaoyun: "She supports it." ”

Li Xiaoyun nodded and asked, "Look at her temperament is not an ordinary person, can you tell me what she does?" ”
