Sun Yimin sat on the sofa, bored and stunned until dark.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the smell of barbecued food came to the face. He could smell the familiar smell of grilled squid on a sizzling plate.

Suddenly looking up, I saw Liu Ronghua carrying a big bag of things and striding towards him.

When the eyes of the two met in mid-air, Liu Ronghua smiled. With a smile on his face, he changed his depressed look yesterday.

Sun Yimin secretly thought, it seems that this guy's meeting with his long-awaited "wandering wife" this time was quite successful.

Mr. Liu took the food and beer out of the plastic bag and placed it on the table, then motioned for Mr. Sun to share it with him.

Sun Yimin got up and met a string of sizzling squid he handed over: "Take it and eat it while it's hot!" ”

Sun took it and asked with a smile: "Do you like to eat this too?" ”

"I can't resist the temptation of that scent, like I can't resist my fair lady." It's really three sentences that don't leave the bank.

"But I saw the news yesterday and said that this roadside sizzling squid can't be eaten because it has added some kind of harmful ingredient."

"I know." Liu Ronghua disagreed: "The news also says that smoking is harmful to health......

"So I quit." Sun Yimin laughed.

"You're different, that's another matter." Liu Ronghua said, took out two disposable plastic cups, opened the cans and poured beer into the cups.

The bubbles soon overflowed, and Sun Yimin hurriedly connected them with his lips and slurped. Liu Ronghua poured himself another glass, then raised his glass and gently collided with the other party, and drank it all.

Liu Ronghua grinned after drinking, and then continued the topic of Shangcai: "Many things are harmful to health, but don't people always like to celebrate by hurting themselves?" ”

Sun Yimin raised his head and looked at him blankly.

"For example, when people are happy, they always have the urge to smoke, drink, or go to a nightclub to party all night...... Aren't these all acts of self-harm? Liu Ronghua explained with a smile.

Sun Yimin was stunned, but he had to admit that what the other party said was the truth. He had no intention of refutating, so he devoured it without hesitation in the spirit of hunger.

After a string of squid was eaten, Sun Yimin wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked curiously: "Isn't it just to meet a virtual wife in an online game, how worthy of celebration can it be?" ”

"Hehe...... Liu Ronghua smiled but didn't answer, there was some kind of joy in his smile that couldn't be hidden.

Sun Yimin looked at each other expectantly.

Liu Ronghua tore off a large piece of roast mutton with his front teeth, and while chewing, he said in a mushy accent: "Alas, the process is a bit tortuous and bizarre...... At first, I went to the exit of the train station to wait for her as promised, but unfortunately there was a traffic jam on the road and I missed the opportunity. By the time I arrived, she had already left the station. ”

"Oh? And how did you meet her after that? Sun asked.

"Based on your previous advice, I sent her a message asking where she is now. The reason why she sent a message was because she was following a large group of people, and it was inconvenient to make a phone call. She quickly replied to me and told me that they had arrived at the hostel.

So I asked, 'I'll go to your hotel, find a place to wait for you, and then you can come down and meet me, okay?' ’，

She said yes, and then asked me, 'It's just a big bunch of friends and relatives here, how am I going to come down later?' ’，

I said, 'It's very simple, you make up a reason, like go downstairs and buy some personal belongings or something?'

She promised me to let me know her in a good place. I hurried to the hotel where she was staying and began to look for a suitable place to meet.

I thought, if it's just to see you from afar, maybe anywhere downstairs in the hotel will do. But I hope to see her a little longer, preferably with a few words. She has traveled thousands of miles, it is rare to come here, if she only leaves with one eye, how sorry would it be? So I have to take advantage of this opportunity.

There's a convenience store downstairs, and I thought maybe I could wander around there, bump into her, and say a few words. But then I thought about it and felt dissatisfied, convenience stores are public places after all, and chatting is not so convenient. It's better to find a more suitable space for communication, such as a private room or booth in a casual restaurant, where we can sit down and have a drink and have a few words in a relatively private space.

When I searched the neighborhood, I gave up on the plan again. There are no similar establishments nearby, and the nearest one is a kilometre away. If she made an appointment with these locations, it would have allowed her to spend a lot of time on the road - she couldn't go out alone for long. I'm a little disappointed when I think about it. ”

Liu Ronghua paused. Sun Yimin noticed that the wine in his cup was finished, so he reopened a can, poured two glasses, and drank another glass with him.

Sun Yimin has never had much alcohol. It may have been too fast today, and he felt his head start to get a little dizzy.

Liu Ronghua finished drinking and began to light a cigarette again.

Sun Yimin looked at him and said with a smile: "It's good that you can meet others, why expect too much." After all, they are married women, and they come with relatives, and they don't come to date you on purpose. ”

Liu Ronghua seemed to be unimpressed by Sun Yimin's cold water, took a deep breath of cigarette, and after exhaling a puff of dark gray smoke, he continued to narrate: "Later, I thought of one thing: maybe the hotel where she stayed also has a restaurant inside, I can go in and reserve a seat and wait for her to come down." This saves her a lot of time going back and forth on the road, leaving more time to spend with me. So I entered the hotel lobby. As I looked around, a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and it was like the light of the lights that suddenly came in a room with a long-term power outage......"

Liu Ronghua paused and said, "But soon, it quickly dimmed like a light that had been cut off again. It quickly became apparent to me that such an idea, while very creative, might not be realistic. ”

After speaking, Liu Ronghua stopped and looked at Sun Yimin with a strange expression. It seems that he has just given a riddle and is waiting for the other party to give the answer to the riddle.

Sun Yimin speculated repeatedly in his mind, but he never came up with a satisfactory result - he didn't understand what Liu Ronghua meant by inspiration.

In the end, I couldn't help but urge: "What did you think of?" Say it! ”

The cigarette held by Liu Ronghua in his left hand continued to volatilize dark blue smoke upward, and the choking smoke drifted into the other party's eyes from time to time, prompting tears.

As a result of the busy statement, the tobacco burned and accumulated a long form of soot that almost fell to the glass table.

Sun Yimin pointed to the cigarette in his hand, and he shook the ash off the ashtray with his hand, and said slowly: "What did you think of?" At that time, I thought: if you need to find a private place that is closest to her and convenient to communicate with her, isn't the best choice be a hotel room? I had been seeking so far and wide for most of the day. ”

Sun Yimin was stunned, he couldn't help but be impressed by his brain-opening thoughts, and sighed that Deng's thoughts were really different from ordinary people.

But as Liu Ronghua just said, this idea is always unrealistic, and he questioned: "A group of relatives and friends are under your nose, how dare you open a room in the same hotel and ask someone else?" ”

Liu Ronghua smiled: "You're right, I was as pessimistic as you at first. But then I thought: why not give it a try, if you miss this opportunity, you may not have a chance in this life. ”

Sun Yimin asked: "And then?" At the moment he was anxious to know the result.

Liu Ronghua continued: "I took out my phone and sent her a message, cheekily making this suggestion to her. She didn't reply for a long time. Then I found that my phone was less than 30% charged, so I found a place to charge at a mobile phone repair shop on the side of the road, locked the phone and handed it to the boss. The boss took my phone inside and charged it. Then I stood at the counter and waited. At this point, I began to regret making this request to her, and I wondered inwardly what kind of response she would give me, and whether she would scold me. Or because of my offense, they simply ignored me, so that in the end, I didn't even see her face

Not anymore. The more scared you are, the more you don't dare to look at your phone. Fortunately, the phone is not in my hand at this time.

But after ten minutes, I couldn't help but ask my boss to help me check if I had received a notification from my phone. He looked at it and said yes, and I asked him to pull it out and hand it to me. Despite my nervousness, I couldn't wait to open the message on my phone.

I saw two of her responses: the first was just a simple one-word 'yes'. The second one says, 'Try to book a room below the 10th floor, because I'm on the 14th floor, so that when I go down, it looks like I'm going down to buy something.' ’

In an instant I was ecstatic. I lost 50 yuan to the boss, the boss was aware that Suo Suo was looking for change in the drawer, I was in a hurry to book a room and was impatient to wait, so he said that he didn't have to look for it When I asked him to buy cigarettes, the boss was happy to laugh and ......"

Sun Yimin was dumbfounded and speechless. This reaction seems to be very useful to Liu Ronghua. I saw that he looked proud, and continued to say:

"I was starting to get a little nervous at the moment, and my biggest concern was that if there were no rooms available at the hotel tonight, my plans wouldn't be ruined. When I was extremely nervous and asked the beautiful woman at the front desk for an hourly room, she recommended a couple's theme room to me without saying a word. This made my hanging heart finally relax. But at the moment I was a little embarrassed and a little curious: I just wanted to book an hourly room, why did she think of that? ”

"Because she has a lot of experience and has read countless people. You can tell at a glance that you are the kind of man who is not serious. Sun Yimin said with disdain.

"It's not what you think." Liu Ronghua was serious, "To be honest, I want to open an hourly room just to see her, and by the way, I don't have other thoughts." What's more, I don't want that kind of couple-themed room either, because I'm afraid it will embarrass her when I meet her for the first time. So I asked for a normal room, but I was told that there was only a theme room. So I had to book.

After completing the formalities, I hurried upstairs and entered the room, cleaned up the petals on the sheets, and hid them in the bedside table drawer. Then text her with the room number and she said it would be in 10 minutes.

But I waited for nearly half an hour, but I couldn't get to knock on the door. Every time the elevator door opened not far from the door, and the footsteps of someone passing nearby, I would think it was a signal of her coming. But every time it disappoints me. I started to feel a little anxious, and I sent her a message, but there was no response, and then I became a little pessimistic: I wondered if she was playing tricks on me by agreeing to my request so easily......"

Hearing this, the development of the situation began to be confusing again.

Sun Yimin thought to himself: Isn't the ending the way he imagined? It's not right, looking at Liu Ronghua's enthusiasm to go home to celebrate, you know that things must be a happy ending. (To be continued)
