Chapter 30: The Cliff of Despair

I used to be very disinclined to crowd the bus, not because of the question of whether the bus is comfortable, but because of the insecurity of people like me, even strangers within a meter of each other, feel uneasy, let alone in the crowded bus, passively close to people?

But now I'm on a rickety bus that makes it hard to turn around, but I feel very relieved.

In this city, I'm afraid that this is the only environment where I can be sure that I am safe.

But the bus won't go on forever.

In the process, I hung up two phone calls from home and sent a text message to my father, probably because I really drank too much, and when I saw other people's parents coming to see the children, I felt emotional, so I made such a phone call, and I am still socializing.

Dad simply replied with a text message, no punctuation, to the effect that don't drink too much, when will you go home.

I silently put my phone in my jacket pocket, not letting myself think too much, such as whether I would be able to go home.

I think there is something I still haven't done, but there are people you can say goodbye to, and some people can't say goodbye, and there are always one or two people in this world who will let you say goodbye to him (her) when you instantly destroy your courage to move on.

I chose to take risks, which required great courage, and I didn't dare to let myself be cowardly, so I chose not to say goodbye to her.

Although I am curious and worried about her situation now, she is also the biggest fuse for me to choose to leave, but I shook my head, no

Is that right? Xin Yi silently recited such a sentence in my heart.

Lao Chen and Lao Zhou are my brothers, and Xin Yi is my sister's dependence on me during her days by my side, which also made me form a deep desire to protect her, and I can't bear to feel a little sad about her.

And her sadness and worry will destroy my courage, right?

After all, the city is not big, and in the moment of cranky thinking, the bus has stopped and arrived at the street where Amu's bar is located.

It was already dinner time, and the street with many residential areas was never lively, and at this time it was even less lively, so I got out of the car and looked at the warm yellow lights in those neighborhoods, and walked in silence.

The sunset is about to disperse, and there is still the last touch of bright red left in the sky, which is about to disperse with a little bit of magnificence, and the faint sadness of the sky is accompanied by the most 'cheesy' taste of food in the world, but it is not at all out of harmony.

At that moment, several luxury cars that are rare in the city on weekdays suddenly drove up one after another in the streets.

As if to increase my psychological pressure, those cars were parked on the streets and ends of this street at random, in short, unless I could fly, or run into the surrounding neighborhood, otherwise the encirclement would have been formed.

And there is no point in entering the surrounding communities, you can't run for a while, and no one knows if these people have other arrangements around those communities?

I slowed down, even stopped, lit a cigarette, and who were these people? I didn't know anyone who got out of the car.

They dress casually, and their bodies are tall or short, and they have nothing in common, not even a common temperament.

It's really not qualified, and the underworld has no momentum! Wouldn't it be better to wear a black suit and a pair of sunglasses? At least before I made a move, I scared people's legs soft, and I secretly despised these people in my heart, about two dozen of them?

He took a puff of cigarette and took the phone out of his pocket.

I regret it, I really want to call Xin Yi now? I'm already on the edge of a cliff, and I don't have an inch of extra land to maneuver around, so, courage or something, don't you need it? Circumstances have been able to force me.

All I thought in my heart was, if I really died suddenly, should I sue her, don't be so stupid in the future, others bully you to know how to resist.

What I don't want to say is that you don't have any uncle to rely on in the future.

I didn't look at my mobile phone, I just walked quickly, but my fingers were pressing rapidly, Xinyi's number in China, I was familiar with it, I can quickly dial it out without looking at the keyboard

The forest bar didn't have a light sign that wasn't too ostentatious as usual, but the curtain that returned to people on a snowy night was blown by the wind from nowhere, and it kept flying.

It's summer, but the flying curtain has a hint of winter.

The number had been dialed out, and I put the phone close to my ear, but there was a blank silence on the phone, and after more than ten seconds, the phone was disconnected.

I felt a fever in my back.

remembered what Xin Yi said to me before he went abroad: "Uncle, I won't change my phone number, I plan to use this number for the rest of my life." ”

"Well, I can hold on."

"No, it's because you don't change your number, even if you think of me anytime in the future, you can find me. Even if I'm not in the country. ”

When Xin Yi said this, his eyes that had been dull rarely had a little affection, very firm eyes, and looked at me expectantly I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, holding a cigarette, throwing a coin at the game console in front of him, crackling and flipping the joystick, and continuing my game.

I didn't look at her, I thought she was boring at the time, but the corner of my eye met her eyes, and now I think about it, it seems to be a little evasive, what to escape? I do not know! She didn't care, as always, she watched me play games, and occasionally when I was excited to play, she unscrewed the drink in her hand, handed it to me, and fed me a qiē It was very natural.

But now this conversation has given me confidence that Xin Yi has never lied to me, and she will not change her number.

I continued to press the familiar number, my steps were still fast, but the group of people surrounding me was full of leisure, but they were so faintly approaching me, as if I had been unable to fly.

There was still silence, and then the "X! "I yelled, what's wrong with this? There was already a hot sweat on his forehead.

I didn't have a reason to stop and make this call, so I continued to press it for the third time, and when I walked to the familiar curtain of the snowy night, I said softly, 'Xin Yi, you answer the phone', and at this time, the phone was finally 'connected' with difficulty, and responded to me with a sentence 'The phone number you dialed is empty'

I was stunned for half a second, the footsteps under my feet still did not stop, before stepping on the stairs, I made so many phone calls, I just wanted to cry.

When this sentence sounded, I had a feeling that a thread in my heart had been severed, so a tear rolled out of my left eye socket, and then I wiped it away as if nothing had happened, and I held back the tears in my right eye socket.

This process only took two seconds, and when I approached the forest bar, my face was already replaced by a nonchalant smile, and the phone in my hand was still put in the pocket of my jacket.

Amu said that the bar will not be open today

So, at this time, there is usually a forest bar with exquisite palace lights lit up in every corner, but today, there are only two palace lights on the bar.

The light is never bright, but the reflection in front of the bar is even more charming.

She is fond of red wine, at this time wearing a lilac dress, lazily sitting on the unicorn stool, the stool rotates slightly with her body, she supports the bar with one hand, the whole person is leaning on that hand, her eyes are half-closed, as if she is about to fall asleep, but her eyes are focused on the red wine glass held in the other hand.

The red wine is very beautiful, with a rose-like luster, but it is not as beautiful as Amu who is sitting like this.

Sangsang was behind the bar, standing quietly and rarely, but his upper body was lazily lying on the bar, looking at me with an inexplicable smile.

"Brother Zhengling, are you here?" She said hello, then pointed her finger at me and asked, "So, what do you want to drink today?" ”

What kind of man can control these two sisters? I tilted my head and began to think about this boring question, but the whole person had fallen into a strange composure, and I walked to the bar in a few steps and sat down next to Amu.

Looking at Sangsang, compared to Amu, she is more like a 'cat' who is going to sleep, in this hot summer, it seems to be in a deep 'winter sleep', facing her lazy eyes, I asked her: "Do you think I am in this situation now, what kind of wine is suitable for drinking, so that it looks more heroic?" ”

Sang Sang propped his chin with his hand, fell into thought, and said after a while: "Is this a problem? ”

With a soft 'hula' sound, the curtain at the door of the bar was lifted again, and a gentle, rather elegant footsteps sounded in the quiet bar.

I didn't look back, but Amu put down the glass, the gorgeous red wine reflected her casual face, and she said softly: "Sangsang, this girl doesn't have that skill, can find the right wine that fits your current situation, I'll come." ”

"Also, if you say it's not open today, why are you here again? If you're not sensible, I'll go say hello. Sangsang stuck out his tongue.

I was silent, but my eyes involuntarily looked upstairs.

There, didn't there once belong to our Tianzi No. 1 room?
