Chapter 39 Literature and Art Are Wounded
Chen Jie looked at me very calmly, then patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the old place for a few drinks!" ”
I said "whatever", then glanced at the sunglasses hanging on Chen Jie's body, and said, "Don't you think it's stupid to come out in the middle of the night and bring sunglasses?" ”
Chen Jie shook his head with a smile and said, "Maintain a public image at any time, wouldn't it be very troublesome if someone with a big wrist like me was recognized!" ”
"Pretend to be a coercion, make it look like you're a star!"
Chen Jie still had a slight smile on his face, but he didn't answer my words.
Sitting in Chen Jie's car, we didn't have the laughter of the past, so the atmosphere in the car was extraordinarily heavy, looking at the neon figures on the street and the twilight on the car window, I suddenly inexplicably produced a kind of tiredness, I feel that people are so tired in this life, if you can sleep, I really hope that I will not wake up in this life.
Eventually, when I was about to fall asleep, Chen Jie drove me to a barbecue restaurant in his new car, and stopped by a barbecue restaurant that we used to frequent, but because of the winter, a tall tent had been erected outside the door for guests to escape the cold.
Chen Jie and I found a place to sit down, and asked for some skewers casually, and then asked for two large draft beers, and before the skewers were served, we had already touched one first, and then each took a big sip.
By the time the boss brought the skewers, I had already felt a chill because I had drunk a lot of beer, and then Chen Jie took a cigarette for me, and after taking a heavy puff of cigarette, Chen Jie suddenly looked at me and asked, "Do you know why Mi Qi suddenly decided to go to Beijing before?" ”
I didn't hesitate to say, "It's her dream to be a host!" ”
Chen Jie shook his head and said, "It's just an excuse for her, in fact, she suddenly decided to go to Beijing, I guess it's mostly because of me!" ”
"Because of you?" I shook my head in disbelief and said, "It's their company's decision to go to Beijing, how does this have anything to do with you!" ”
Chen Jie laughed self-deprecatingly, then took another big sip of beer in the glass, and after a drink gap, he suddenly changed the topic inexplicably and said to me: "Do you think Mickey loves you?" ”
"I think she is like a kind of love for my relatives to me, maybe more often she just treats me as a younger brother!"
"Hehe, have you ever seen a woman who refuses to even talk about love for the sake of her brother?"
I looked at Chen Jie puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Chen Jie smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little sentimental...... Chen Jie took a puff of cigarette and said: "You said that when you first came to Shanghai, you didn't have money, I didn't have a company, and I was not very familiar with Mi Qi at that time. ”
I followed Chen Jie's words, and also began to fall into the whirlpool of memories with the smoke filling my fingertips, although the quality of life has improved a lot now, but those lingering memories make me feel more nostalgic.
At this time, Chen Jie said with an inexplicable emotion: "At that time, every time you finished drinking, you would call Mi Qi and ask her to pick you up, but I could only smile and wave my hand and say that I was fine, in fact, you really didn't know how lonely I was at that time...... Wang Ye, what do you say I am worse than you, why do all the women around me only like you, but ignore me? Why? ”
I took a long breath and said, "The more you calculate, the more you lose, everything is a matter of pride, and none of us is worse than the other...... In fact, God is sometimes very fair, at least he will make you lose something at the same time as you get it, because everything is equal! ”
"Yes, everything is equal, so God gave me the wealth I was born with, but I lost the woman I loved the most one after another!"
I smiled and shook my head, then raised my wine glass and touched one with Chen Jie, and also in a long complaint, extinguished the cigarette butt in my hand, and now when I sit at the same table with Chen Jie again to drink, I always don't like to talk too much, because there will always be a sense of distance between each other, as if they have begun to gradually become strange, but in the memory it is so familiar.
I drank a lot of alcohol again that night, and I didn't go home after drinking, but took a taxi to Ah Huo's coffee shop, which was almost empty of customers at this time, and Ah Huo hung a string of wind chimes by the kerosene lamp in front of the store.
When the cold wind blew coldly on my face, I flicked the wind chimes that Ah Huo had hung up a few times with my hand and asked, "What are you doing with this thing?" ”
Huo glanced at me and said as he walked into the store, "Because it's the Star Summoner!" ”
I followed Ah Huo into the coffee shop, and saw him writing a sign with a brush on a wooden board: "I know you will come, so I am willing to wait!" ".
I was puzzled and lay on the bar and asked Ah Huo: "Why are you becoming more and more literary and artistic!" ”
Ah Huo just glanced at me very indifferently and said, "Literature and art, it was injured out!" ”
"Literature and art are wounded......" I said in my mouth.
As he spoke, Ah Huo wrote a slogan on the wooden board, which was the sentence that Su Man had asked him to leave me: "If one day there is suddenly no news of me, either wait for you here, or it will be indefinite!" ”
I glared at Ah Huo: "Are you going to give your coffee shop another name, it's called "Chengnan Chengxi"!" ”
Ah Huo pondered for a moment: "This name is quite in line with my style, why don't I write it and hang it at the door?" ”
"Don't!" I was a little dizzy and lay on the sofa and lit a cigarette for myself, and said, "Brother Huo, did you tell you that Su Man came back when Su Man left?" ”
"Go with the flow!"
I was a little annoyed: "Can you stop me from saying anything, you just put this word on your lips, is your mind full of Xiang all day long!" ”
Ah Huo glared at me, and then began to busy himself again, and I was really bored, so I went to Ah Huo's room in the backyard and lay down.
Time gradually passed, in a blink of an eye it was three days later, this morning, I got up and had nothing to do and went to the square to set up a stall, after this period of operation, the business on my stall has gradually stabilized, the average net profit per day has reached a minimum of more than 500, if you follow this trend, you will definitely be able to exceed the goal agreed between me and Mi Qi within half a year, and it is even very likely to be completed in the next three months, at that time, I must have enough capital to go to Beijing!
Not long after I had just set up the stall, the highway not far from me began to be congested and noisy, I subconsciously glanced in that direction, and found that it was a wedding convoy passing by, one of which was a Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle unreasonably across the middle of the road to cut off the traffic here, behind there was a 100-meter-long Mercedes-Benz convoy of the same model, and followed by a Mercedes-Benz convertible coupe, the groom drove the car, and the bride wore a red, slightly classical cheongsam sitting in the co-pilot's seat.
