When I got out of the hotel, I got addicted to smoking again, and I took out a lighter for a dollar, and just turned it on, but it was blown out by a gust of cold wind.

I didn't continue to light a cigarette, looking at the city where I stayed for eight years, Wuhan, which had not snowed for many years, began to snow this year, and the fluttering white stained this lonely city, I thought, Wuhan, this year will definitely not be lonely, I remember that it snowed once in my sophomore year, Xia Mo put his arm around me, smiled extraordinarily brightly, stretched out his right hand to catch a snowflake, smiled extraordinarily brightly, that was the smile that had warmed my years, and now I am the only one left wandering alone in this empty and boundless city.

I held a cigarette and stared at it for a while, and finally just put it in my mouth and didn't light it, because Xia Mo didn't like me to smoke, and he said that my smoking appearance was particularly sad, and it would make people feel distressed to watch.

The wind was blowing cold, so I slumped into a taxi and headed for my place of work, Tomorrow's Travel Agency. I looked at the time on the taxi, it was close to noon, and I guess I would be led by the leader when I arrived at the company, because I didn't bring this morning's group, and I didn't know how many times I released the company's pigeons. Come to think of it, it's time for me to leave this place and start a new journey.

After arriving at the company, the surprising leader did not criticize me, I simply said that I planned to resign, the leader did not smile, and did not even say a word to retain, I simply packed up my things, and went to the financial office to receive a salary for more than ten days this month, more than 1,000 yuan, and even the company's colleagues did not say hello and walked out of the company, these years, have been living in their own world, even the least interpersonal communication is too lazy to pay attention, sometimes I feel that making friends is a luxury, and I should hide in the gloom, Inside a corner that no one sees.

I got in the car and went straight back to the rented place, boiled water, soaked a bucket of noodles, and simply fed my stomach. Charging the phone and turning it on, followed by a series of text messages, almost all of which were call reminders from the fat man.

I took a cigarette in my mouth and called the fat man, who quickly picked up: "I said Brother Nan, where did you go last night?" I've been looking for you for a while, and somehow you're missing? ”

I smiled and didn't tell the fat man about last night, just a simple perfunctory past.

"What's the matter? Hurry up, I'm busy. ”

"Didn't I tell you about the supermarket last night, I have already found the location, follow me over tomorrow to negotiate, see if you can bargain, you are better than me in this regard, this is your good job!"

I was happy for a while, I couldn't hold it back, I took out the lighter, finally lit the cigarette, inhaled vigorously, spit out the smoke, and the dirty smoke slowly diffused in this small rental house: "I said Mr. Xiong, you are now a boss-level person, but I follow you, do you still care about this little money?" ”

"A piece is also money, and if everyone in China donates one piece to me, then I will make a fortune." After the fat man finished talking over there, I smiled here, the fat man is cautious and meticulous, and he has always been bold and careful in making money, which is also the reason why he has been so prosperous over the years.

"Okay, call me tomorrow." I chatted with the fat man for a few more words, and then hung up.

As soon as I put down the phone, my phone vibrated and a text message came.

"The engagement at home has been completed, and my boyfriend and I will come over to invite you to a meal in two days, you can contact a few of us to enjoy your face!" This text message was sent by Bai Li.

When I was about to go back, Bai Li then sent another sentence: "By the way, Xia Mo will come back when I get married." ”

I stared at the phone screen, my fingers trembling, and for some reason, the corners of my eyes were a little wet. Is she finally coming back? Has she been doing well in the past five years? Will she also think of me all these years?

In the five years that Xia Mo has gone, I have been waiting in this city for five years, and I have forgotten my purpose, and once I was in a trance, she was in the city of Wuhan, in the pile of people, so lonely, and I couldn't reach it.

I was in a daze like this, and finally replied to Bai Li with a word "Hmm!" ”

In many words, I can't carry my lovesickness, and no amount of thoughts can outline my pathos.

The light outside the window has gradually dimmed, and the city of Wuhan is very dark early in winter, and I always feel like something is crying in the sky above the city.

My mind is very chaotic at this time, and the pictures all the way north are Xia Mo, all the past, those memories of happiness and stingers.

I put my head under the covers and quickly fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but when I felt my stomach rumble, I gradually woke up.

At this time, it was already dark, there was no sound in the room, and I was the only one left in the quiet world. Only my still breathing heartbeat told me that I was not lonely.

I took a few coins out of the drawer, went out of the house, out into the street, to the bus station, got on a random bus, and put four coins in.

"Young man, two dollars a person!" The driver smiled at me honestly and kindly asked.

Suddenly, I turned my head sideways, only to realize that Xia Mo who was holding my arm was already missing from my side.

I smiled at the driver and sat in the last row of the bus, on the far left, near the window, and put on my headphones. Since Xia Mo left, as long as I was in a bad mood, I would get on a bus when I was close to Wuhan in the dark, and I didn't know where to go, I just told myself that maybe this city, some corners will meet me and you.

"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world. When you are young, you are always a little frivolous, and now you are your home all over the world. The girl who once made you feel distressed is now quietly gone. Love will always make you longing and troubled, and it has left you bruised all over your body. "Xu Wei's "Once You" came from the earphones, and I looked out the window and entered the painting.

Finally, after a few buses, I got off the bus at the entrance of the division and arrived at Hubu Lane, where there were still people coming and going, and many couples were holding hands and smiling like flowers.

I went to a place where I ate paste soup noodles and ordered two bowls, one bowl was mine and the other bowl was Xia Mo, but I was the only one who ate.

After wandering around here aimlessly, I finally returned home, and tomorrow I will start a new journey, and it is time for me to say goodbye to the past.
