The next evening, I stood in front of the store as usual and looked at the hostel, but my mood was not happy because Lao Gou transferred the hostel to me, but my heart was filled with an indescribable melancholy, and I had a premonition that the next few months would be eventful, and my fate would be completely changed because of a series of upcoming events.

Li Shi left my life like this, but we couldn't continue the story of 84 Charing Street, keep in touch with a letter, maybe one day in the future, we will gradually forget each other, and then laugh at those days that are engraved in our memories but no longer mentioned, the difficult days are difficult after all, and now I am powerless to stop it, so I am more eager to become stronger and stronger.

I haven't been more eager for strength at the moment, so I dialed Jiang Laiyue's phone on the crowded street, one is to ask her about her current physical condition, and the other is to ask her to give me some advice on the operation of the hostel, I must abandon the thoughts of my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and seriously run the hostel well, otherwise what am I insisting for?

The outgoing call was quickly answered by Jiang Laiyue, and she asked me impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”

"What are you doing with such a big fire?"

"It's really blocked, I'm in the bathroom, constipated."

I was a little speechless, she seemed to be able to say anything to me unscrupulously, but I really didn't have anything to block her, so I said: "I'll talk about constipation later, let's talk about it first." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'd like to ask you about the hostel business, after all, you have to run the hotel well."

"You got the right to run a hostel?"

"yes, got it."

Jiang Laiyue was slightly puzzled, and asked tentatively, "How did you get it?" ”

"Lao Gou took the initiative to give it to me."

She suddenly fell into silence, and said to me with a smile for a long time: "Gou Yongqiang is really a true gentleman who keeps his promises, his career is not very good, and his character is not much of a problem." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, don't disturb this girl to go to the toilet, talk about the business slowly later, one day if I have nothing, you will apply for me to be your consultant, I will give you a lecture eight hours a day."

"I think you should really plug it."

Jiang Laiyue surprisingly didn't continue to quarrel with me, and said to me seriously: "Let's run this hard-won hostel, after all, so many things have happened in the middle, you should cherish it!" ”

"I want to do a theme decoration now, if you say that my young traveler inn is in the martial arts world, what should I put on the wall?"

"I'm going to fight out and ......"

Me: "......"

Jiang Laiyue seemed to have lost the desire to talk to me, and hung up the phone without even saying hello, and I was still immersed in the previous topic and couldn't get out, could it be that Li Shi said something when she met her? I should have asked if I had a chance.

……

On this night, I came to Lin Ke's Road Folk Bar, where I was bent on learning from Lin Ke's forced style, and immediately greeted me and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to serve you." ”

"You're rejoicing too soon."

Shu Ma angrily wanted to hit me on the head with a plate, and scolded angrily: "Brother Hang, I'm sorry, we may not be suitable to be friends." ”

"Fart, I'm wild."

"I said that you are really bad at talking, no wonder you have been single...... If you were someone else, would you be willing to deal with yourself? ”

I scratched my head, unwilling to pass on my bad mood to him, so I simply continued to talk nonsense: "I can't even think about it, how can there be such a blessing." ”

Shu Ma was so angry that he was speechless, but his eyes looked at me like a thorn, I avoided her gaze, and looked around as usual, he threw the plate, sat down opposite me and said, "Brother Hang, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the busy?"

Shuma calmed down some of the anger in his heart, and finally said to me again: "Brother Ringo has two turtles, although I don't know what breed they are, but I like them very much, can you tell him that I can be a free labor force for a month?" ”

In order to amuse him, I deliberately exaggerated and said in the direction where Lin Ke was: "Oh my God, you Shuma, you won't lurk here and stare at his turtle, right?" ”

Shu Ma shrank his head and almost threw me out of the bar, he "shh Also, how long has Brother Lin been buying, I'm afraid that I will have a deep relationship after raising it for a long time. ”

"It's been two or three years since I bought it! As for how long this turtle can be raised...... It depends on how you raise it, and if you raise it, you can send it away. ”

Shu Ma sighed, probably because he felt that he was out of play, I had fun fighting with him, and my mood was a lot better, in fact, I really envy him, at this age when there is not too much pressure, I can do not hesitate to take a month of labor for a turtle, and this thing is really a good thing.

There were few guests on the night, and it was windy, then it rained, and it got heavier and heavier.

Lin Ke and I stood at the window with cigarettes lit, squinting at the night outside the window, as if looking for a place called far away......

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, you're stuck here now, and there's nothing to do, let's talk about you and Li Shi." ”

"What do you want to hear?"

"It doesn't matter what I want to hear, what matters is what you want to say, you see you look dejected, I know you're panicked, say it!"

Lin Ke is more emotionally dominated than me, if I talk about this, it will inevitably bring back the sad past between him and Mo Qiu, I didn't answer positively, trying to prevaricate: "I want to ask you, did she tell you anything when you sent Li Shi to the airport yesterday?" ”

Lin Ke spit the cigarette in his mouth onto the transparent glass until the smoke dissipated, then nodded and said to me: "I said a lot of daily trivial things in the hostel, I have experienced it with you, so I don't have much to say...... By the way, did you see the car at the mouth of the alley when you came? Li Shi asked me to drive back, keep it for you to use when your work needs it in the future, and you don't want to excuse yourself in front of me, I think this is a kindness from her to you. ”

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I pinched the cigarette holder desperately and said for a while, "Does she have anything to say to me?" ”

Lin Ke took out a note from his wallet and said: "There is no special explanation, just let you send money to this card number on time every month, and the opening bank is herself, at least 30,000 a month, and at most 50,000." ”

I took the note, with the card number written on it, and the word "come on", this delicate font is from Li Shi's hand, I will smile, now everything about her will make people's hearts pound.

Lin Ke sighed: "I'm thinking about whether I will let you drink tonight, after all, you will have to drive the car back later, it hurts to be scratched at the intersection, I heard that the car has just been maintained." ”

I patted him on the shoulder, finally got rid of the sadness, and smiled: "It's okay, our brothers haven't had a drink for a long time, I'll call the store staff now, and I'll trouble him to call later, and someone will pick me up with the car." ”

Lin Ke and I looked at each other, and we both read a sense of relief in each other's eyes, and he smiled heartily, put his arm around my neck, and went to the bar.

……

The rain stopped, and I was drunk with all my worries, and the night was so late, and Lin Ke helped me to leave the bar, which was a little fluttery.

On the curb outside the alley, Lin Ke and I sat together despite the mud, waiting for the clerk to arrive, and after a while, the clerk came to the entrance of the alley, and with his assistance, Lin Ke planned to help me into the car.

I pushed them away, originally planned to walk along the road in front of me, like a place to live, but after all, because of the legs fluttering and did not obey the call and gave up, after a toss, finally into the car back to the hostel, along the way, drunk but I kept thinking of Li Shi, a little chaotic in an instant, although I wanted to call her in my heart, but I couldn't put it into action, I couldn't help but wonder: how did she face this ending, can it really be done, just as a dream?

Maybe, she can really do it, but I can't......

Sometimes even I wonder why I am so sad at the moment of parting, and where does this sadness come from, I am afraid that it is a trust and habit that has accumulated over time, dominating me!

……

In distraction, the phone rang in my pocket without warning, I picked it up and looked at it, this was the one I was most afraid of receiving, but I was a little hesitant, and then I connected the phone in hesitation, and then I heard Jingqi's voice as good as ever, but there was more fatigue in the voice.

She told me that she had recently finished her work and could take some time to come to the hostel to meet me.

I didn't respond a word in a drunken state, and in the end I didn't even know how to hang up the phone.

……

This night, I lay in bed, even if there would be an excuse to vent after drinking, but I didn't say too much to myself, and I didn't fall asleep quickly, I knew that no matter what the future holds, what happened these days will be remembered by me for the rest of my life......

It was already early in the morning, and I turned over, but I repeatedly recalled what Jiang Laiyue said, so that my mind became clearer and clearer.

Thinking about it, I knocked over the five-flavor bottle again in my heart, Li Shi's matter can't be so simple in my heart, sometimes I am willing to see through it, it's just a choice that I'm afraid of adding to the pain, I can't forget the immature me I used to be, many times in front of her with words to ridicule her, saying that she sold her soul to Lao Gou, and hated her because of it.

Actually, I don't know her well enough, for me, she should be the best woman in the world, because she gave it all to me in her own way, and I was even ashamed that I felt wronged for her and felt injustice for her, after all, she suffered so much rumors, and she was eager to succeed but lost to Lao Gou in the end......

In the flip of thoughts, I took out the piece of paper with the card number written on it from my pocket, and watched Li Shi write for me to cheer, she definitely did not give me this pressure because of money, but to spur me, for fear that I would give up her kindness, so she chose my best brother to transfer to me, I entered the card number into the mobile phone, and secretly made up my mind to reopen the business from tomorrow......

I have experienced so much that I deeply understand that pragmatism is more practical than recitation.
