After saying this, Li Shi didn't give me room for rhetorical questions, stepped on the bluestone road, turned around and walked back in the dim lights, as if he intended to hide this secret in the dark night......

I followed Li Shi back to the bustling hostel alone, and then remembered Shuma sleeping in the tent on the roof.

When I went upstairs, Shuma didn't make a sound, as if he was asleep, I patted the tent, and he suddenly turned on the light, and then opened the tent with some anger.

"There should be rooms in the hotel opposite, why don't you go and ask?"

"Brother Hang, you are really undecent."

I realized that shouting to "run" to my Shuma might have been a little emotional, after all, at his age, face and outer aura are better than many things.

In fact, the current student who has just graduated from college has more or less such a performance, I should not be too demanding of him, but should inspire him step by step, so he said: "When a person has a sense of shame, childhood is over, and youth begins." When a person's sense of shame is lost, his youth ends and middle age begins. Shuma, you know, life is not a trip to eat, drink and have fun, but a real head-on encounter. ”

"You keep telling these big things."

I sighed, the night was a little cool, I picked up the lighter and cigarette case that I had placed on the ground and walked downstairs.

"Brother Hang."

In the hurried footsteps, I turned back to meet his eyes for a moment, stopped, and he looked up at me.

"Something?"

Shuma was even more surprised than me, and said after a while: "Actually, I just want to apologize to you, I was too willful." ”

I didn't say anything for a while, and thought to myself: You kid is quite eye-catching, and after making an OK gesture to him, I walked downstairs quickly.

……

The next morning, I washed and dried my laundry and then went to Linko's bar to take a look, and to my surprise, it was only Amy, dressed in black and with her hair neatly tied, scrubbing the bar's tables and chairs.

When she saw me coming, she put down her work and asked, "Would you like something to drink?" ”

"Where's Lin Ke?"

"He answered the phone and went out, why don't you give him a call?"

I looked at Amy, who has always rejected people thousands of miles away, and was able to talk to me calmly, and I couldn't help but sigh what kind of charm Lin Ke had, taming such a talented woman with great personality, and then sighed: "I really didn't expect that your hand with a camera could do such rough work." ”

"Lin Ke taught me to bartend and play a drum kit, and I should help him do something."

I looked at the neat courtyard and the small kitchen with seasonings, and finally had a taste of life, and looked at Amy with a smile, she and Lin Ke knew each other from the beginning of talent, if I can really collide with Lin Ke and spark, as a friend I am extremely happy, after all, the best way to forget a relationship is to really come out.

As I was talking, I unexpectedly received a call from Jing Qi, who said that she deliberately took time out to celebrate her birthday early before going abroad, and asked me to pick up an ordered cake for her at a cake shop in the scenic area.

After she reminded me of this, I remembered that a few days later was indeed Jing Qi's birthday, but this birthday was not her real date of birth, but the day she decided to come down and be reborn after that drowning.

After saying goodbye to Amy, I went to the cake shop to pick up the cake, and then hurried to the appointment location, which is a special restaurant in the scenic area.

By the time I arrived at the private room, Jing Qi had already arrived, smoking a cigarette, dressed very simply, a short denim jacket with a white shirt, slightly loose dark culottes, and her hair was simply tied up, messy and beautiful.

When I put down the cake, she looked a little excited, extinguished the cigarette butt, got up and said, "Didn't disturb your work?" ”

"No, just a little sorry I almost forgot if you didn't remind me."

"How can I blame you, it's not time in the first place."

I looked at the smoky room, which was a little empty, and asked, "Did you call anyone else?" ”

"I just called Brother Lin Ke, he is busy, he can't come over, just the two of us, it seems to be a little lonely, but it doesn't matter, it's better than me alone."

I thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to the hall for dinner, there will be more people, and pretend that everyone is here for your birthday." ”

Jing Qi thought about it, nodded in agreement, and smiled happily at me, like a childish child.

While waiting for the food to be served, I opened the cake, lit the candles, and then sang a birthday song to signal Jingqi to make a wish, she bit her lip and looked at me, and the diners around me also joined in the blessings.

Looking at the candle that was about to burn out, I hurriedly signaled her to make a wish first, and put aside any emotions for the time being, she reverently closed her eyes and made a wish, and then thanked everyone emotionally, and shared the cake with everyone.

The last piece of cake remained, Jing Qi and I were a small half, and while tasting the sweetness, we were a little annoyed that we were in a hurry, and we didn't have time to prepare a gift for her.

"I'm so bad at this brain, I didn't even think to prepare a gift for you."

Jing Qi shook his head and said: "My life is all given by you, what kind of gift do you want, I originally thought that life would stop here, but I didn't expect to be lucky to survive again, maybe my redemption and tribulation are not enough, so the days have to go on." ”

"Don't think about the unlucky things in the past for your birthday, you see that more than a dozen people have just sung birthday songs for you, which shows how friendly the world is, we all have to live well, with the idea of living a long life."

Jing Qi nodded, took out an envelope from his handbag and said to me: "I went abroad for a while, and I got you a sum of cash, which was the money you asked the official account to pay me in advance last time, don't refuse, you must accept it." ”

I picked up the envelope and looked at it, it contained at least 30,000 yuan, pushed the envelope to her and said, "I don't need it for the time being, you have to spend it when you go abroad, keep it for yourself." ”

Jing Qi insisted on handing me the envelope again, and said, "Take it, or I won't be happy to go." ”

"You don't have to worry about it, live well, and besides, I didn't spend much."

Jing Qi was silent for a long time before saying: "You didn't go to work during the tourist season, is your work affected?" ”

Jing Qi knows my work habits quite well, but I don't want to tell her my worries on such a day, so I smiled and said: "You don't understand men's affairs, so don't worry about it." ”

I thought that this joke would change the topic, but unexpectedly, Jingqi frowned after hearing it, she glared at me angrily, picked up her handbag, turned around and left.

I thought she was angry and chased after her, but this stupid girl ran into the bathroom, I thought she went to the bathroom and cried, but after a while, she ran out with a big beard with an eyebrow pencil, and regardless of the eyes of the diners, she came to me and said, "Hey, brother, what's wrong?" ”

After I looked at her for a few seconds, I laughed forward and backwards, but I laughed until my eyes were moist, and I didn't forget to complain to her: You are too many.

……

After a little episode, I put away my bad mood for the time being, waited for Jingqi to wash her face and returned to the dining table, served her a bowl of soup while it was hot, and then said, "Okay, don't talk about troubles, eat well." ”

Jing Qi looked at me, nodded and said, "After attending Fashion Week in Australia this time, I heard that the company will organize a vacation for everyone, so I will find an opportunity to ask the leaders to see if I can put the location in Xi'an." ”

"Don't worry about me, it's important to ensure that you do your job, maybe one day you will really become an international supermodel, at the same level as He Sui and Xi Mengyao, you Weibo or something to promote me, then the business is not a matter of minutes."

Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Jing Qi and said: "You have to try everything, don't hide as long as you have the opportunity, you are always so passive and avoid the world, how can you live a good life in your life!" ”

I smiled and replied, "You expect a lot from me......"

"Of course!"

After I was silent for a while, I said to Jing Qi, "It's not lying to me, is it? ”

Jing Qi looked at me with a smile and asked, "Why do you suddenly care so much about my thoughts?" ”

"I want to listen to a few more lies to comfort myself!"

Jing Qi finally laughed out loud and asked, "Yu Hang, you can apply for a world record with your shameless kung fu." ”

"It's not a matter of a world record or anything!"

After a while, Jing Qi stopped smiling and said: "Yu Hang, you have accumulated enough in the early stage, hurry up and do your own business, don't trap yourself anymore, you are a sleeping lion, I hope you wake up quickly, no matter what others think of you, I have expectations for you." ”

Jing Qi's sentence "I have expectations for you" encouraged me again, and this concern from friends is the motivation for me to keep going.

Looking at her smiling face, I realized: Jing Qi and I are friends who have experienced life and death, and we have regarded each other as acquaintances, and while teasing each other, we care about each other, and find some sense of interdependence in this indifferent city, and the attitude of life has already framed each of us in a fixed range.

……

After celebrating Jingqi's birthday, my mood also improved a little, and I slowly returned to the hostel, and my slow pace was very opposite to Li Shi, she seemed to be in a hurry, and the two clerks were carrying luggage to her car.

I stepped forward and said, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

Li Shi didn't stop, and still responded to me with an indifferent attitude, saying, "Go to Fujian to talk about business." ”

I was afraid to lean into her car and ask, "Why don't you ask me if I'm free?" ”

She ignored my pretensions, and when I was about to speak again, she suddenly smiled at me and asked, "Why am I asking you?" ”

"Maybe I'm free, I can go out with you, you know my business level, and the remuneration will be waived, but you have to invite me to dinner at night."

"I'm afraid all my plans will fall through again, but I'm still going to take you."

I was a little puzzled, but seeing that her expression was extremely serious, I still responded with a smile and said, "It can't be because I learned some secret about you, you plan to trick me out and throw me away again, right?" ”

"You're not trash, I don't have the right to litter." Wen Ge shook his head, looking frank, but it seemed that I was a little surprised.

"This is clearly stimulating me, quite in place!"

There was a smile in her expression, and then she reminded me to change my clothes and pack my luggage for three days by the way, and I was ignored by her in such a daze, which was a slap in the face, I was obviously a "victim", and in the end I was so easily changed the topic, this woman really has two hits.

When I packed my belongings, she casually threw the keys to me and reminded, "Time is running out, hurry up and drive to the airport!" ”

Since she went out to talk about business, but she didn't even bring an assistant, which means that we have to be alone for three days?
