Li Shi was skeptical, but in the end she still chose to save face for me, and after a series of check-in procedures at the front desk, she followed me to the small but exquisite room, where she sat neatly dressed on the edge of the bed, and I sat on a wooden chair, and the two were silent in the dim light.

I seem to have gotten used to Li Shi's silence, and I didn't panic too much, just waiting for the moment when she took the initiative to speak, but it backfired, Li Shi didn't take the initiative to speak from beginning to end, maybe her heart was also imprisoned by something uncertain, so we were cautious when facing each other.

In her silence, I asked the front desk for two spare quilts, so that with floor heating, it had some effect, and after hesitating for a while, I said to her: "You rest early, I am also ready to turn off the lights and go to sleep." ”

"Okay, then you turn off the lights first."

I reached out and turned off the light on the wall, and then took advantage of the light projected from the window, lying on my back on the sofa, and before I had time to breathe, Li Shi proposed: "Yu Hang, come and sleep on the bed, I am small, and it is just right to sleep on the sofa." ”

"The sofa is hard and narrow, how can I let you sleep, I can sleep all night, don't worry!"

"I knew we wouldn't be able to come, what kind of hotel can't be found, you came here across the ocean, and you can't sleep well."

"I'm used to it, you don't have to feel sorry for me." I said this on purpose to test Li Shi's reaction.

"You still have a lot of tasks to do, there is still a long way to go, know how to cherish yourself is the most important thing, don't turn yourself into a stone without thinking, good management can make you go further, I hope you can go back this time to make a profit as a goal, do a good job."

"I will, not only is it so simple to make a profit, but this is also the test of the new year of the hostel, if it is really in a desperate situation, then I am afraid that it will not be able to be saved."

After I finished expressing my determination, Li Shi calmed down again, she seemed to have experienced a struggle, and said after a long time: "Please help me find Mr. Gou when you go back this time, promise me, persuade him well, let him want to open some, it is really not easy for him to be alone." ”

"It's a very difficult thing to do, I don't know where he went, and besides, my persuasion may be just a fart to him."

"He admires you very much, he will definitely listen to what you say, some things are just going the wrong way and can't turn back, I hope you don't hate him, over the years, he has worked hard to maintain the company, and accidentally fell into the trap of others, I'm sorry for him, and I don't want him to be so pessimistic."

"You love him?"

"Don't speculate, Gou always deserves your respect."

When the word respect came out of Li Shi's mouth, I thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the past, remembering the first time I met him in the hostel, his lonely and miserable appearance......

"Li Shi, you are so smart, I want to ask you, why do you think Mr. Gou has come to this point?"

"Maybe he was too idealistic, and he couldn't say that idealism hurt him, but idealism did make him go a lot of ways he shouldn't go."

"I don't think like you, I think idealism is: for example, I have made up my mind to pick that apple, and with a few friends, the dark road can't stop me, and the tall tree can't stop me. I slowly walked into the dark and walked down the road, guessing that there would be all kinds of dangers on the way, so be careful. Luckily, I still have a partner by my side. As we walked, we finally got acquainted with the dark road, and the speed increased a little. Still, I didn't dare to be completely reassured, "bang", I accidentally fell into a small dirt pit, fortunately, the dirt pit is very shallow, just pat the soil and continue walking. It's not a big deal, I comfort myself as I walk, at least I know "bang", at least I know that there is a bigger hole ahead. By the time I had managed to jump from pit to pit and into countless pits in the back, I had finally walked the dark road. I made it to life! I wanted to share my joy with my friends, but there was no one around me anymore. Some of my companions walked a few steps back home, some took a fork in the road and separated from us, and some died in some deep pit. I was much stronger than when I first set out, picking up sticks, ropes, daggers, and a few messes along the way. I also lost a lot of things I took with me when I set off. There are snakes in the trees, it doesn't matter, I have experience dealing with snakes on the road. The tree is very tall, it doesn't matter, I'm no problem climbing the tree now. Now, I think I can pick that apple. ”

"But he really persevered in the midst of misfortune, and from the first time I met him, I felt that he was living too detached from society, and some things were wrong in fantasy, and in The Great Gatsby, what struck me the most was Daisy's quote, I hope she'll be a fool — that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. I think the happiest time for a person is when he believes that his dreams will one day come true. Can it be achieved, and why is it so serious? Maybe he is in purgatory, but his heart is still in heaven! ”

"Some people think it's naïve, even naïve, but I believe it's the best way for me to live. Not everyone needs to know a truth and get an answer. Why not be able to understand the distractions of this world, and at the same time keep a pure heart with anticipation? Everyone has their own way of living, so why should you be swayed by other people's ideas? True idealism is to see the cruelty of the truth but still have hope for the world, naïve is only to have unrealistic understanding and expectations of the world. ”

"So I'm willing to continue to support your dreams, when will you return home?"

"I've already seen you, and I don't have any regrets about this trip to the UK, so I'll go back tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll take you to the airport tomorrow, go to bed early!"

……

This night, even if I thought about it again, Li Shi didn't reply to me again, I don't know if she fell asleep, anyway, I didn't sleep all night.

This morning, after checking out, it has been half a month since I arrived in the UK, most of the time I was searching, before leaving, I thought of Dai Le again, and couldn't help asking: "Why hasn't Dai Le appeared these days?" ”

While helping me pack my belongings, Li Shi replied, "I went to France to attend a fashion exhibition, and I won't be back until next month." ”

"He likes you, doesn't he?"

Li Shi put down the clothes that were being folded in her hand, raised her head and said, "I don't like it, it's more forced!" ”

"Will you compromise on this feeling?"

Buried in the clothes and continuing to pack up, Li Shi smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult to live affectionately in this affectionate world, and I don't know how long I can last, maybe one day I can't hold on, and I don't know what to do." ”
