Before leaving Nantong, I subleased 3 stores to others, and some inventory was sold at a low price, plus the truck, I got a total of 200,000 yuan.

I returned the 200,000 yuan, as well as the 500,000 yuan I got from selling the house, to Lin Xi, and a few days later I got the 200,000 advertising money from Buick, and I returned the 200,000 yuan to Chen Qingyi, so far I finally paid off all the arrears.

The last 100,000 yuan, I gave 70,000 yuan to the employees as severance money according to the original plan, and the 30,000 yuan for Luo's sister-in-law, I handed it over to Chen Qingyi for safekeeping, I hope she can send this batch of money to Luo's sister-in-law at the right time, although I know that this will not compensate for anything, but at least it will make Luo's sister-in-law's life better.

.......

This is my last night before I leave Nantong, and I am going to go to a place - "Candle Utopia"

I bought a lot of beer and candles, just like the time when Angel and I named the rooftop "Utopia by Candlelight", and we bought a lot of beer and candles that time.

I stared blankly at the waning sun in the sky, the late autumn wind whistling past my ears, I smelled the depression, I knew that joy and happiness were now gone in my life.

I tore open a can of beer and poured it into my mouth, it turned out that the beer in late autumn was so cold, and the cold stimulated my brain for a while.

I drank all the beer in the can, sighed deeply, and looked out at the lights and people under the tall building, I tore open another can of beer and poured it into my mouth.

"I love this wonderful world, intertwined with so many joys and sorrows......." I stood on the guardrail, pinching the beer can and screaming loudly.

I laughed, laughing wildly........ Laughing at the impermanence of the world, laughing at things is wrong, laughing at life is unfair.

........

The night swallowed up the dusk, and the city was devastated and devastated like a decay, and there was no light on the rooftop, so I jumped off the guardrail, and I took out the candles from my convenience bag one by one, and placed them neatly on the ground.

I looked at the unlit candles on the ground, I thought about what shape I should put these candles into, and suddenly I imagined a picture in my mind, a woman in a beautiful tunic by candlelight, showing me a sweet smile, she was beautiful, beautiful and unreal, so beautiful that it seemed that if I looked at it more than once, it would be blasphemous, I was happy, drunk, lost, impulsive.......

I no longer hesitated, picked up the candles on the ground one by one, and arranged them according to the idea in my head......

After a while, I stared at my masterpiece, I was melancholy in joy, I Zhang Yixi also knew romance, I arranged the candle into a heart shape, and the only one on the guardrail that did not fall and Angel and Angel with both hands to create a heart-shaped sticker to reflect each other.

It was a feeling for the first time, and at this moment I felt as if my heart was pierced by a woman like a sharp blade, and I felt an indescribable pleasure in the pain.

I picked up another can of beer from the ground, tore open it and took a sip, then pointed to the candle in the shape of a heart, and said, "Cheers, the first feeling ......."

Then raise the beer to the sky and invite the moon to drink together: "Cheers, life full of suspense......."

"The women in my life, whether you understand my style or not, I can't untie your buttons, at this moment I miss you so much, I don't take you ......."

.......

The night before leaving Nantong, I spent the night on this rooftop, and in the early morning, I stood on the rooftop and enjoyed the gentlest sunshine at dawn....... The wind blows so softly in the morning, I close my eyes and listen to the wind and birds, and feel the rebirth of a world, my heart gradually becomes a mirror, and my life will break out of the cocoon into a butterfly at this moment.

Back at my temporary accommodation, I packed my bags and prepared to leave.

My phone call reminded me at the moment, maybe it was someone who wished me "a safe journey".

I didn't look at the number, and directly connected the phone: "Hey, I'm Zhang Yixi." ”

"Brother Yixi, I'm Su Mei, where are you, I want to talk to you."

"I'm packing my bags where I'm staying!"

"I'll pick you up, okay?" Su Mei said in a low voice.

I thought about it and agreed to Su Mei's request to meet and chat.

I dragged the packed box and bag downstairs, and Su Mei was already waiting for me in her white Buick Yinglang XT.

I opened my suitcase, put all my luggage in my suitcase, and said to Su Mei, "Just take me to the station later." ”

"Brother Yixi, do you really want to leave?" Su Mei asked me softly.

I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Find a place to eat." ”

"Hmm."

........

Su Mei and I found a small restaurant nearby, we ordered a few dishes, I asked for an extra bottle of beer, and the two of us chatted while eating.

"Brother Yixi, why did it become like this in such a short period of time? I feel very sad in my heart, I ruined the marriage between Brother Wang Zi and Sister Shen Man! Su Mei's voice was a little choked up and said to me.

"Time, fortune, and destiny....... In this world full of suspense, we are all ignorant, and no one knows what the future holds, so don't think too much about it, live well, just right. ”

"Hmm." Su Mei nodded gently.

After a moment of silence, she asked me again, "Brother Yixi, where are you going?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and replied, "Afreeplace"

Su Mei said to me very seriously after I finished speaking: "Brother Yixi, can you take me with you, I have finished all the classes, and there will be plenty of time....... I also want to leave this unhappy place and go to the free place you mentioned! ”

I stared at Su Mei with wide eyes, trying to find evidence of joking in Su Mei's eyes, but unfortunately, she was serious, really serious.

I smiled and said, "I'm very poor now, and it's hard to support myself, and it's unreliable to take you." ”

Su Mei said to me seriously: "I have savings, I can support you!" ”

After weighing it carefully, I said to Su Mei: "Nacheng, you will support me in the future, and you are not allowed to break your promise!" ”

Su Mei smiled and said, "Never break your word......."

"I'm going to go home for two days before that, and we'll be in touch then." I said to Su Mei.

"Well, when you leave, you call me, and I'll pick you up."

........

While I was talking to Su Mei, my phone rang again, and I guess this was another person who wanted to say goodbye to me.

I still didn't look at the phone number and connected the phone directly: "Hey, I'm Zhang Yixi." ”

"Can't you change your habit of answering the phone without looking at the number?" Chen Qingyi's complaining voice came from the other end of the phone.

I smiled: "What, did you call me to say goodbye?" ”

"You're too unkind, you don't want to inform me when you leave Nantong, because I'm so good to you, and I'm still thinking about you at this time." Chen Qingyi's tone was even more complaining.

"Sister anchor, it's okay if I'm wrong!"

"If you are wrong, you have to take practical actions and sincerity to make up for it, you haven't left Nantong yet, have you? It's just time for lunch, so invite me to dinner. ”

"You can also do it to me, a poor man who looks up at the sky every day and hides his face and cries bitterly? You're so cruel! "I looked like I was going to cry.

Chen Qingyi on the other end of the phone said indifferently: "If you are not cruel, you can't remember me, I will wait for you in the Yinshi Restaurant." ”

I was just about to shout: can you find a cheaper one? Chen Qingyi had already hung up the phone.

........

"Chen Qingyi is really unkind, doesn't it make me worse, I, Zhang Yixi, am only poor at this time, and I still go to such a high-end restaurant." I muttered, then looked at Su Mei and asked a little embarrassed, "Meimei, do you still count if you say you want to support me?" ”

Su Mei nodded.

I stretched out my hand to Su Mei: "Give me a thousand yuan, this...... Although you said to raise me, I will definitely pay you back. ”
