Chapter 194: What doesn't change is people and feelings

The moment Li Shi turned around, the world seemed to be quiet, only the gorgeous fireworks were still blooming silently, and the light as bright as day illuminated the night sky and Li Shi's face.

I've fantasized countless times about when we meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful at the moment, watching her snow-white hair fall, I just stood there and only giggled, but I didn't know what to say.

At this moment, I didn't care what I was with her before, I rushed up and hugged her, and then my face leaned against hers, I stroked her hair over and over again, and I said to her with great nostalgia: "I will have to go back to China in two days, and I am glad that I finally found you." ”

Li Shi surprisingly didn't push me away, and it wasn't until I finished speaking that she took a step back, looked at me carefully, and said, "Why did you fall so dirty, how long have you been in London?" ”

"I can't remember when I came, and I forgot to return."

Li Shi frowned, as if after experiencing some inner struggle, she finally spoke: "Thank you for still living so healthy and poetic." ”

We looked at each other, and both of them fell into a state of distraction, which has nothing to do with the scenery at this time, but more about cherishing every moment after meeting, at least I am like this.

……

Holding Li Shi's hand and walking forward for a while, I stopped, but I didn't want to see the fleeting fireworks again, and what other encounters and differences were.

I took Li Shi's hand, and my mouth was broken by the story of looking for her these days.

Passing by a midnight Chinese restaurant, I sat opposite each other with the warm smell of Li Shi, who took off her red coat and hung her scarf on the back of her chair, and then looked at me with her hands on her chin.

Due to the large number of visitors at Christmas, I waited for a long time, and the ordered things were finally delivered by the waiter, I opened the lid of the beer, poured a glass for Li Shi, and then handed it to her, saying, "To celebrate, drink a little with me." ”

This was the first exchange after we entered the store, Li Shi took it from my hand, smiled and said: "It's a pity that there is no barbecue here, or I will invite you to a barbecue, but it is okay to have two meals." ”

"I want you to ask you every day, okay?"

Li Shi looked at me, not indicating whether he really understood or not, but held a beer bottle in his hand and raised it to me, and then drank it "coo, coo", at this moment, we sat down from the snack street in Xi'an to a Chinese restaurant in London, what changed was food and place, what did not change was people and feelings.

"How has the hostel been doing during my absence?"

Seeing that Li Shi was still concerned about the hostel, my mood gradually improved, so I talked more, while drinking, I talked nonsense at Li Shi, and said with a smile: "During the time you left, I have seen a lot of different people, but after all, it is not the peak season, most of them are local guests on weekdays, these are not the target customers of the hostel, I don't understand the configuration and concept of the hostel, so there is no communication between the plain and bland, sometimes the room may be full, but the hall is empty except for himself, I sat with a guitar in my arms, and occasionally a couple opened a room and showed affection, and their mouths were as if they were stained with 502 glue, and they never separated. During the holidays, there are many tourists, and the hostel becomes very lively. Of course, during the time you left, the theme advertising we did on the Internet came into play, and a lot of people came, but I also met very unreasonable guests, for example, online booking felt that 40 or 50 yuan for a bed was the room rate for the entire multi-person room, and after arriving at the store, blamed us for only leaving one bed and they had six people. For example, if you take a hostel room for a hundred yuan, compare it with a five-star hotel room, and then keep belittling us, wanting us to give them a little cheaper. Another example is to try all kinds of ways to default on the room bill, and finally disappear into the sea of people, which is so exhausted that I doubt my life. In addition, people have to face the wear and tear of the hostel decoration, watching the hostel become old little by little, today's little problem, tomorrow's little problem, repair exhausted...... Hey, it seems that everything that doesn't go well is going well, because it's really not going well when it comes to business! Someone once came to inquire about the feelings of opening a hostel, and I saw that he wanted to enter the industry, so he advised that "a cup of coffee every day, a little sunshine, a cat, some flowers, good literature and art and money" are just beautiful dreams! Wouldn't I be particularly chattering about this......"

Li Shi shook her head, she didn't think I was nagging, she kept dragging her chin and staring at me, this gaze not only contained a kind of patience, but also seemed to have a kind of expectation, so no matter how presumptuous I behaved, she didn't have any disgust.

I would like to share these sparse and ordinary little things with her, and I want to use my own description to let her know what I have done and what has changed in the hostel after she left.

After drinking too much, I began to complain to Li Shi: "Actually, from the first day you came to Xi'an, I didn't want to go against you, and now I regret treating a person roughly for the first time, that is you, my obsession with the hostel has hurt many people...... At the beginning, under the persuasion of Lao Gou, I was impulsive, only for a beautiful dream, for the romance to open a hostel, I also know that there must be a lot of difficulties along the way, very hard, and feel that I am psychologically prepared, but at that time the difficulties and difficulties encountered are not an order of magnitude at all, the process is only known to those who have tried, has entered the industry, in addition to the bitterness before the opening, after the opening is also lost freedom, in my mother's words, is to be tied feet, before the university had a holiday, Now I feel like I don't go to work every day, and I feel like I'm going to work all the time, and I'm tired of cleaning inside and out by myself at that time, and I'll meet all kinds of strange guests, but I will be full of sense of achievement, and I will cherish the things I made bit by bit. Do you know? When you come to collect the hostel, how much I should be repulsed, now that there is no way, I must better keep the hostel, which is a kind of inheritance...... Did you know? My biggest preference is to have a group of like-minded people who can chat about this world that always makes people feel lonely in the courtyard of the hostel, around the campfire, drinking spirits! ”

Li Shi obviously didn't know that Youtu had been acquired at this time, she frowned, and was silent for a while before saying, "What do you say about Youtu?" ”

"Youtu has been acquired by Jiang Laiyue's father......"

"What about Mr. Gou?"

"It's been a long time since I've been in touch, I don't know where he's gone......"

Li Shi has not yet spoken, the corners of her mouth have trembled slightly, on her fair face, tears quickly swirled in her eyes, this reaction I didn't expect, she choked up and said to me: "The company is good, how can it be acquired, what happened in the middle?" Where did Mr. Gou go? ”
