Volume 3 Chapter 9 of the Floating Life
When Xiao is not too busy, the two occasionally wander the street until late, just to wait for the moment when the street lights are lit. Then Xiao took Ye Yin to eat at his favorite restaurant.
Twenty crayfish had already been eaten in Gui Street, and Ye Yin licked his fingers and looked like he hadn't eaten enough. Xiao didn't plan to buy it again, either because she was distressed about the money or because she felt sorry for her stomach, and said, if you eat it again, you will be a dead ghost on Gui Street, and you will be as famous as Gui Street. She tilted her face and raised an eyebrow to look at him, ignoring him. Pick up a squid tail and put it in your mouth, I love the numb feeling too much.
In front of Xiao, Ye Yin did not hide his eating appearance at all. She was no longer the melancholy princess he remembered and couldn't find a home, she was as lively as a butterfly in flight.
He looked at her happiness and felt a little strange.
He brought her the joy of new life, but he also made her lose the texture of his memory.
Xiao admires Luan's appearance that he doesn't like to eat anything and doesn't care about anything in his bones.
Xiao often recalled meeting Ye Yin in junior high school, Xiao happily walked over to her, he rarely got so forgetful, but she refused to say hello like she didn't know him, the relationship between male and female classmates was a sensitive topic at that time, Xiao who was among the best in the school often spoke on behalf of his classmates on the rostrum decently, paid attention to his image, and knew that his name appeared most frequently in the mouths of girls, so he was discouraged by her indifference.
Accustomed to Luan's powerful aura, Xiao couldn't imagine that under the appearance of the white swan there might be the cowardly heart of an ugly duckling.
Perhaps, no matter who he is, as long as he has been saved, the person who saved him is strong and powerful in his heart. Once, Ye Yin was in Xiao's eyes.
Ye Yin, like those who are visiting Beijing for the first time, is very fond of Chang'an Avenue, to be exact, the glittering lights of Chang'an Avenue. She often thinks of the days when she first came to Beijing, when she fantasized about meeting Xiao again on Chang'an Avenue.
The unknown always gives people room for imagination, and because of imagination, this space is especially lovely.
Now sitting in the restaurant on the top floor of the International Hotel with Xiao, everything is like a dream.
Looking down from the window at night, I can't see the dense crowd of fast-moving vehicles, but the lights are flickering, and the street still seems to be orderly.
Xiao said that he also likes the night because he has a safe distance from everything. Ye Yin suddenly understood that he was actually feeling this way. The two of them looked out the window silently.
The night hides everything you don't want to see, but the bustling ones are just as invisible except for light and shadow.
Coincidentally, I met Luan again.
She walked past Xiao, smiled and didn't say hello, Ye Yin still saw that this woman had an unusual relationship with Xiao. Xiao lightly told Ye Yin that this was his ex-girlfriend. Ye Yin never looked in Luan's direction again. Xiao was satisfied with Ye Yin's politeness, but also curious about her curiosity.
Xiao also asked about Ye Yin's ex-boyfriend.
Ye Yin talked about burning, not embellishment, not evasive, Xiao was even a little angry at her calm and smooth. In fact, Ye Yin just felt that this was part of his own experience, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Besides, she doesn't hate burning. She has the same attitude towards Luan.
Xiao was disappointed anyway. Such a man once appeared in Ye Yin's life.
But Xiao was also surprised that Ye Yin was a person who didn't know how to regret it. Compared to what he occasionally thinks about if he didn't go to that restaurant at noon and didn't meet Luan, Ye Yin seemed brave and fearless.
It's not that person you care about, it's yourself in those green years. That person is more like your memento book, he will remind you of yourself at that time that you have forgotten. Years later, Ye Yin remembered what he said.
