Xu Qianqian was on the high-speed rail and received Huang Ligong's WeChat, the positioning of the hotel. There is no other word.
Well? He asked me to go to the hotel by myself.
She locks the screen, puts her phone to her seat, and focuses on the fields and houses whizzing by outside the window, not thinking about anything. The adventure of the New World takes on its face too quickly, but the real adventure is always like this, tired, hungry, mosquitoes, heat, endless trivialities, and futile. Excitement and anticipation are always only when the idea of adventure arises.
Get off the high-speed train, walk through the platform, cross the pedestrian passage, and pass the security check to the exit. Xu Qianqian's eyes subconsciously swept left and right over the crowd picking up the car, without any familiar faces.
While waiting for the taxi, she glanced at the location of the hotel again and found a trace of comfort in her heart. This small hotel, in the old town, is not expensive and naturally the rooms are small. The free land is carefully arranged, not a garden, but there is a garden charm. She lived with her parents when she went to Suzhou to play, and she had a good impression.
How could it be so coincidental that Huang Ligong also lived in this hotel? Perhaps, when he mentioned it to Huang Ligong during a small talk, it was rare for him to think of it, and he booked it here when he arrived in Suzhou. Xu Qianqian knew that she found out soon after she met, Huang Ligong looked very grinning, and liked to put on a posture of doing big things and not being informal, but in fact, he had a good memory, and people who had a meal a few years ago could remember which dish they liked to eat at the banquet. He must have remembered that I was a lone woman, Xu Qianqian thought, as if to comfort herself. She and Huang Ligong mentioned that she lived in the UK, and her brother would come to see her every weekend to help her solve the small problems in her life, and she took care of herself in addition to that.
When Xu Qianqian was about to arrive at the hotel, Huang Ligong was eating noodles in a time-honored restaurant. On this day, he met three groups of people, inside and outside the circle, and immediately patted his ass and left after talking, and changed the battlefield to the next house, like a march to fight, and it was almost dinner time to have lunch. After the last chat in the old town, the company left him for dinner. There was still more than an hour before dinner, Huang Ligong politely refused, saying that the coming day was long, and there was something to do this time.
He walked to the hotel, and when he saw this small storefront, he felt unbearably hungry, so he went in. When I entered the door, I laughed at myself, my stomach was very considerate of the owner, I knew that it was difficult to start a business, and if I could save it, I would be hungry when I got to this suitable place. After eating for a long time, I suddenly remembered that Xu Qianqian should have arrived, and she sent a WeChat message to inform her that it had been a long time since she got on the train. Thinking of this, he immediately realized that something was wrong, picked up his mobile phone and sent WeChat voice messages in a row, looking tired and just coming out of a long meeting: "Where have you been?" Did you get off the train? I'm just done. I booked the hotel room, and I paid the room fee, so I can live directly......"
After a while, the reply came, "How about eating noodles?" Pay attention to the image. ”
Huang Ligong blushed, feeling debunked. When I sent her a voice just now, I was holding the mobile phone in my left hand, and my right hand was not idle, and I subconsciously continued to send the noodles to my mouth.
And then another, "I'm moving in." ”
So fast?! He remembered that Xu Qianqian had told him, and it was only half an hour's drive. From Shanghai to Suzhou, the high-speed rail is the most convenient means of commuting, not only fast, but also frequent, almost like a bus. Many young people who come to Shanghai to work hard, buy houses in Suzhou, work in Shanghai, and commute from work in the morning and evening, even faster than those who live in the city.
He was awakened to something bad and said, "Alas, I didn't eat at noon, and I was hungry." By the way, are you hungry? I'll pack you one. ”
After a long time, Xu Qianqian replied, "Bring a small soup dumpling with a cage." ”
Huang Ligong not only bought a small soup bag, but also took the initiative to add a hot seasonal vegetable. Back at the hotel, I asked for Xu Qianqian's room number at the front desk, and went up and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, Xu Qianqian's voice came faintly, "Which one?" ”
Huang Ligong cleared his throat and replied loudly: "It's me." ”
"Mr. Huang? Just leave the bento at the door. Xu Qianqian's voice became clearer. Huang Ligong put the xiaolongbao at the door, scratched his head, heard the sound of water inside, shook his head, and went back to his room.
In the evening, Xu Qianqian sent him a message, saying that she had made an appointment with a friend. There was no more news.
Early the next morning, Xu Qianqian called Huang Ligong to have breakfast. Huang Ligong put on a well-shaven suit, shaved his beard cleanly, and remembered to cut his nose hair, standing in front of the mirror, looking left and right. In the small restaurant on the first floor, Xu Qianqian sat by the window, and had already picked up the breakfast and put it on the table.
Outside the window, there is a small open space, covered with verdant grass, and against the wall are a few small mille-feuille stones, growing moss. On the edge of the other side, there are a few clumps of bamboos and a few pebbles scattered on the ground. It's simple, but it's a little emotional, like a small garden for songworms and ants. Xu Qianqian looked at it attentively, and only after Huang Ligong sat down did she turn her head, and the two ate breakfast silently.
"Where will we go?" Xu Qianqian glanced at it and saw that Huang Ligong was dressed in style, sweeping away his previous casual and loose state.
"Go and meet Huli Technology." Huang Ligong raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said, "There are still 37 minutes, and there will be a car to pick it up later." ”
