Chapter 8 The Pretty Woman Has an Appointment

People don't know how many times they have to face zero in their life, and I hope that every time you go to zero, it will be the beginning of the next brilliant time.

That's right, I zeroed in again, the real estate salesman left and went to zero, went to school in W City, went to zero, graduated from college, and zeroed after the band disbanded.

In life, we are always faced with various beginnings, and then ends, and new beginnings, and sometimes they are even over before they are brilliant, which interprets me so truly.

I saw that it was still early, so I went to school in the afternoon, and came to the campus where I had lived for 4 years, and I felt so strange for the first time.

After graduating, my identity is different, and my sense of belonging is gone, and my current sense of belonging has been transferred to the rental house in Osmanthus Lane, which is small but very real.

I walked aimlessly on the path of the campus, and on the way I met some students from the former club, who greeted me with some surprise, and I exchanged a few words with them before leaving.

I took out my mobile phone and dialed Zhou Wen's number, "Hey, Awen, there is no class today, right?" I'll be back at school, I'll see you in the cafeteria later..."

Zhou Wen is my younger brother, and he got acquainted with the rehearsal of the campus New Year's Day party the year before last, and the sketch he performed at that time made the audience laugh with their bellies.

According to the original plan, I just wanted to come to the old school and remember everything here, without alarming anyone.

Soon after, I met with Arwen on the way to the cafeteria, and Awen invited me to have a big meal in the cafeteria, and he said that I am an outsider now, and he is the host when I return to school, so I should not be polite to him.

We talked a lot, blowing cowhides that were not too big or small, but unfortunately there was no wine... Otherwise, if you can sit in the cafeteria for one night, this will be the last time you relax before you officially go to work tomorrow!

When I took the bus from the University Town subway station to Dalang Station, it was only 6 o'clock, and it was already dark, and in mid-October, it was so dark in the south in the late autumn season.

As soon as I opened the door of my house, I immediately picked up the meow that had run to my feet and screamed a few times, afraid that it would accidentally slip out.

The osmanthus tree outside the yard was rustled by the strong wind, so I put down the meow and filled its lunch box with cat food, and came to the yard. I turned on the flash of my phone as a flashlight and shone it on the flower pot, and the tulip bulbs finally made new progress, and I saw the sprouts, very short, not even two millimeters long, at least still alive.

I was so overjoyed that I remembered that I hadn't watered for a few days, so I picked up a spray bottle and created an artificial rain on the pot, looking forward to what it would look like in a month.

At this time, I received a reminder on the WeChat of my mobile phone, I clicked on it to see, it was a voice message sent by Xia Qing, I didn't expect the photo I took for her last time to reply now, I clicked on the voice without hesitation, I wanted to know what Xia Qing would say, I only heard Xia Qing's slightly tired voice from the microphone: "Yun Qian, let's meet and talk, I have something to talk to you..."

I didn't expect her to skip the last photo and not mention it, but to find me something... But what could she do to me, and I immediately replied, "Well, where are we meeting?" I'll come right over. ”

"Wanda Plaza near your home, on the second floor of the Simple Cafe."

"Good!"

Xia Qing knew that I was renting a house near the Dalang subway station, and I mentioned it to her, but I didn't say the specific location.

After putting down the phone, I was full of curiosity and nervousness, and secretly scolded myself, I really wasn't competitive enough, I got along for four years, and I knew each other very well, so what was there to be nervous about.

Speaking of which, I am really a failure, in the past four years, I have eaten alone, drank, drank coffee, etc. with Xia Qing many times, but the two of them are like the purest friends to get along, today's appointment, my own inner thoughts are becoming more and more impure, no longer the feeling of being a student.

My hair was blow-dry, and I hurriedly grabbed a mid-length hairstyle with my hands and shaved the slightly long stubble before heading out.

Wanda Plaza, not far from Osmanthus Lane, is less than 3 kilometers. I hurriedly walked to the small intersection and stopped a taxi, there was some congestion on the road, I was afraid of being late, and when I was 1 km away, I paid directly and got off the car, and swept a shared bicycle.

After arriving at the "Simple Cafe", the waiter warmly asked me how many people there were, there are more customers tonight, so as to help me arrange a location.

After politely thanking me, I said I was looking for someone, and then I went up to the second floor.

The decoration style on the second floor is modern and simple, with some European style atmosphere, and the feeling of tranquility is one when you enter, which can calm down some impetuous people affected by the environment.

Therefore, this "simple café" has also become the first choice for office workers, white-collar workers, and couples near the Wanda business district.

As soon as I entered, I saw Xia Qing sitting in the middle of the window, she had changed a little, her makeup, temperament, and outfit had obvious changes, and now she looks very mature, more fashionable, revealing the charm of a woman's intellect, but I know that as long as she is on the stage, that Xia Qing will immediately change back.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting... Long time no see! ”

I walked up to Xia Qing and sat down to look at her, Xia Qing smiled at me, and I continued, "You have changed a lot... I almost didn't recognize you. ”

Xia Qing smiled slightly, brushed her long hair in the middle with her hand, and sighed: "Yes, everyone has changed a lot after graduation, and I feel that you have less words than before... By the way, why are you sweating profusely?"

"I'm stuck in traffic, I'm afraid you'll wait for a long time, I'll run over!"

I took the tissue handed to me by Xia Qing and wiped the sweat overflowing from my forehead, "Xia Qing, I'm sincere enough!" Have you ever been impressed! Haha..."

"Cut, just said that you didn't talk much, it would be not serious."

Yes, Xia Qing and I used to joke with each other and make fun of each other, but after graduation, many of the things we did when we were students now became cold as we intersected less.

"Hello! Sir, Madam, what do you two drink? ”

A waitress came up to us and asked politely.

"A latte with sugar, an Americano, thank you!"

After the waiter left, I said to Xia Qing, "If... If your tastes haven't changed, you still like to drink American. ”

Others will change, this will not change, I didn't expect you to remember..."

Xia Qing's expression was a little gloomy, I didn't know what to say, so I casually found a topic, "Haha... You're wearing a nice black waist-cinching dress, well, mature... Vogue... intellectual, it's just a female star! ”

"You don't come, and you take me again, by the way, Yun Qian, there is something I want to talk to you about, see your wishes, if you don't want to, I won't force you..."

"Let's talk about it first!" I knew that this was the purpose of Xia Qing's appointment with me, and the main topic began, and the waiter also brought the coffee over at this time.

"Well, Yun Qian, that's the case, I have a few music festival performances at the end of the month, the company's guitarist has something to go abroad, I have communicated with the company, these songs are not very difficult, the company is willing to let me invite a guitarist from the previous band to replace, if the music festival effect is not bad, the company can consider a long-term contract... Regardless of whether you can sign a contract in the end or not, the appearance fee for these performances will be paid by the company, which is also an opportunity, do you want to try it! ”

"Then do you want me to go... Summer love. ”

I put down the coffee cup in my hand, looking at the latte art that I drank up, just like my complicated mood now, in fact, I already had the answer in my heart, but I still wanted to get her own answer.
