I finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good news for you, get ready to take on a 100-person tour!" ”

Jiang Laiyue's eyes widened, and she began to boil water to make tea, and then said reservedly: "Where did you come from, customer, tease me!" ”

"Who did you learn from when you saw that people were low?"

"Don't squeeze me, you came to me so openly, aren't you afraid that Li Shi will be jealous?"

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Laiyue suddenly understood something, looked at me with a very serious expression and asked, "Did Li Shi ask you to come over?" ”

I didn't express my position immediately, but I looked at Jiang Laiyue, and I couldn't help but ask: Is there any inevitable connection between receiving the tour group and who called me over?

Jiang Laiyue didn't speak again after finishing speaking, as if she was focusing all her attention on the gradually boiling tea, and as for what was going on in her heart, only she knew what she was thinking.

"You haven't answered whether I can answer or not."

"Oh."

Jiang Laiyue's absent-minded answer made me unable to answer her words, but just followed her in silence.

She is proficient in making tea, which reminds me of when I first met her, she had to rely on her assistant for everything, but now she can be familiar with all aspects of the operation, and it seems that she has been practicing a lot recently......

Life will always do its tricks, so that we pay the price of growth, go through thousands of sails, know and fully feel the truth of pain, we will be free from the original illusions, and recognize life.

Taking the teacup from her hand, I took a small sip symbolically, tilted my head, and slowly swallowed the tea that was stuck in my mouth, but did not open my eyes to look at the dazzling crystal chandelier.

"Drinking water makes it look like taking poison, is the tea I brewed so bad?"

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Jiang Laiyue pretended to be free and easy: "Of course I welcome it with both hands, no matter who introduced it, I have never been emotional about business issues, and now a large number of rooms in Laiyue Hotel are idle, if I can re-accumulate reputation this time and earn a working capital, my chances of winning will be a few points greater." ”

"It's great that you can think like that."

"Hurry up and send me the statistics and the arrival time of tourists, so I can start preparing in advance."

"I will hurry up and communicate with the other party, and strive to hand over the confirmed first-hand information to you before twelve o'clock tonight."

Jiang Laiyue made an OK gesture, didn't say anything immediately, silently poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

Before leaving, I asked again, "How are you going to eat the meal?" ”

"It's like an old lover, you have to take care of eating, drinking, and Lazar, I'll make an egg tart later, you don't have to worry about it."

With that, she took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and brought them to herself, and ignored me.

I was bored with myself, knowing that irresponsible fetters would bring unforeseen consequences, so I didn't linger and left the Lai Yue Hotel quickly.

Leaving the "Laiyue" hotel, thinking that Li Shi must not have eaten yet, I walked along the bluestone road in the darkness of the night, and two hundred meters away, there was a oden that tasted quite good.

When we arrived, the diners were already surrounded by diners, and it seemed that if they wanted to buy them, they would have to test their patience.

Thinking that there was still work at hand, I had to choose to give up, to the restaurant next door to ask for three egg fried rice and two stir-fried vegetables, waiting for the process of packing, while shaking her legs, while listening to the singing of the female singer in front of the bookstore not far away, her temperament is very outstanding, you know, the cigarette between the fingers to play the guitar, not everyone can control, a song and a cigarette posture, so that she in the impetuous alley, it is particularly special, passers-by stop, is the best verification.

……

Walking in the dim alley with a boxed lunch, there are occasionally a few tourists walking slowly on the road, and at the end of the road, there is the hostel, I still remember that last year I rode a bicycle with Li Shi through this dark path, when she pinched my waist, swayed behind the car, and threatened me in various ways.

Now that I think about it, these days are like gilded petals, each one shining brightly.

Standing at the door of the hostel, Li Shi had already modified the words on the illuminated light sign to list today's preferential rooms, and the two red lanterns gently swaying in the wind were festive and playful.

When I entered the store, Shu Ma was drinking soup with a large bowl in both hands, since the last time I went home for the New Year, we haven't seen each other for more than three months, he looked at me with a happy face, and said, "Brother Hang, you're back!" ”

"Where did you get the noodles?"

"Sister Li Shi cooked it for me, and said it was enough."

While talking, Li Shi and her cousin walked out with a bowl of noodles, and when they saw me, they were a little surprised and said, "Yu Hang, you didn't go out to eat!" ”

"I packed it and brought it back."

"If I had known, I wouldn't cook noodles."

"I think your skills are pretty good, Shuma's face is buried in the bowl, is there still soup in the pot?"

"It seems that it was all served by my cousin, or I'll cook it for you again."

I signaled no, opened the stir-fry, went to the kitchen to get a bowl, mixed out three portions of egg fried rice, and sat down next to Shuma to eat.

During the meal, my cousin asked, "Yu Hang, how can there be a pet store here, I want to raise a cat." ”

Shu Ma pulled the fried rice without raising his head: "Meow! ”

Li Shi poked a smile and almost didn't stand firm, while Shuma didn't know it at all, and was in a hurry to eat, his hot cheeks flushed.

"I kind of found out, why did you just come here and fight with me!" The cousin tugged at Shuma's ear.

Shuma smiled and continued to chew on the rice.

"I think Shuma is a good kid." I began to stand in line, and Li Shi also raised her hand in agreement.

Cousin: "Hmph~"

Me: "No, what do you mean?" So what do you think is wrong about him? ”

Cousin: "Blind! I have made such an evil capitalist friend as you, who is like me, and exudes an otherworldly fragrance. ”

"Hey, but I want to be friends with my cousin, he's been to the Grand Canyon, and I'd like to hear more about his legacy. I heard that there are mountains and mountains, sandwiched by a bottomless giant valley, which is incomparably vigorous and magnificent. ”

My cousin couldn't fault it anymore, and with smugness written on his face, he boasted: "Oh, it's not a glorious experience, okay, let's sleep tonight, and I'll tell you about my legendary experience in the Grand Canyon." ”

In terms of dress, I only serve my cousin, and in addition to bragging, I don't forget to show off my English.

……

After cleaning up, I quickly got busy, and while asking Li Shi to help me sort out the specific number of young travelers' rooms, I quickly got in touch with the person in charge in Fujian to count the number of men and women, and strive to send the information to Jiang Laiyue before 12 o'clock.

While I was busy, my cousin was wearing his pajamas, and he walked around me, and Han Han asked, "How about me wearing these pajamas?" ”

I barely glanced over from my computer screen: "Fat! ”

"Nonsense! I'm still called fat, huh? ”

I turned back again, looked at it carefully, and thought, "Strong? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my angry cousin wanted to greet me with slippers, and waved his hand to signal himself and Shuma to talk about the Grand Canyon.

……

The night was deeper, and after Jiang Laiyue got the data, he raised several problems that needed to be solved urgently, and this discussion had been postponed to two o'clock in the evening.

Li Shi held her chin and looked at me sideways, her long waterfall hair coiled on the table, her waiting made me feel that all this had become so meaningful, and the silence of the night composed this scene into a small poem.

I didn't want to live up to this beautiful late night, so I took out my guitar from my room, and Li Shi understood, changed my slippers to canvas shoes, and followed me out the door.

Under the banyan tree not far from the hostel, I sat on the flower bed on the side of the road, which would not disturb anyone, and I was relieved to play and sing to myself.

From folk to rock, I improvise a few lines in each song, and although I sometimes forget the words, I just play with the atmosphere.

"When you went to England, I used to come here and sing." After singing the song, I said with a smile.

The topic seemed to be opened, Li Shi clasped her hands on her knees and asked me curiously: "Did you feel sad during those days?" ”

"To be honest, you appeared too violently and left too quickly, and you didn't give me an adaptation period at all, so in the days that followed, I went from being at ease to being a little scrambling, and I would cook a big table of dishes by myself, and it tasted good, but no one praised it. When the light bulb was broken, no one had a flashlight, so I had to move a chair and bite my phone to climb up to change it. Passing by the cinema and seeing a new movie, I couldn't buy the second half-price cone of KFCy, and I was at home alone, and I wanted to order takeout but it wasn't enough to pay for delivery......"

"It's pathetic."

"Hey, it's a warm winter afternoon, I can wear a fluffy sweater, sit on the balcony with a CD player, a cup of soup in the kitchen, a stray cat lying at my feet, I brush its fur, I miss you and the cat...... I often think that if you were here, we could lie on the wicker chair and bask in the sun together, chatter about trivial things, chat tacitly, and then serve you a bowl of warm soup to drink. ”

"It's not too late to start cooking soup tomorrow morning!"

My mind jumped, "What about you?" Do you think of me? ”

"Nope."

I glared at Li Shi, a little disappointed, and plucked the strings indiscriminately, making a noise.

She sneered, and then said seriously: "When I returned to England, when I didn't want to paint, I started writing poems, sometimes one a day, sometimes several a day. They are all hidden in my draft box, along with my thoughts, where they are hidden, not even the wind can be found, and I also thought that if one day, if we can meet again, I will show you all the poems, but they must be secretly given to you, and you must not read them in front of me. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to run away with a red face."

"Quick, take it out and show it to me now."

"It's all in the mail draft."

"You'd better be honest with me, or I'll definitely sneak into your account."

"I warn you, don't be a voyeur and keep singing!"

I sang Li Shi's hated saliva songs like a negative heart, one after another, but she didn't stop me from singing, and when I looked down, I found that Li Shi had fallen asleep on my lap.
