Chapter 102: Do You Believe Me When I Say It's Not Me?
"The city can't keep anyone anymore, including you."
"Sooner or later, you all have to leave and go to the wider city to sweat and leave your youth."
"It's not like this dilapidated hotel, which has been completely buried in the dust of history over time."
The old lady's expression was flat, but Wan Hongzhuang could feel the heavy emotions in her eyes...... She has made her choice and has fulfilled her mission.
It's time to rest.
Thinking of this, Wan Hongzhuang also seemed to be infected, and became calm.
If life has changed, why bother trying to figure it all out? You don't even know if the choice you made at the time was right or wrong. What kind of impact will it have now?
Well, so be it.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of relief.
The old lady's eyes were blank, at this moment, she seemed to have returned to the golden age of this small hotel, and in each small room, there were countless young people who were full of ideals, for life, for the future, and for love.
It was her best time and the best time in the city.
Although time flies, it does not affect the light emitted by these faint rays of light in the course of the city's history.
"Okay, I don't have anything more to say, the reason why I haven't left yet is that I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for us?" Wan Hongzhuang looked at her confused.
If it weren't for wanting to explore the truth of that dream, he wouldn't have been able to return here...... So, this old lady still misunderstood after all?
Wan Hongzhuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, it should be a beautiful mistake, at least, at this moment, he didn't want the respectable old lady in front of him to leave with any regrets.
The old lady stood up tremblingly, at this moment, she had long since lost yesterday's Lisuo.
She then pushed out a pink suitcase from behind the counter.
"Forget it, your little girlfriend's suitcase is still here!"
"Young man, really listen to Auntie's advice, the little girl will always have mood swings, you are a boy, you can take care of more, not to mention, she is really a very sensible little girl, and she is also very polite."
Wan Hongzhuang had a wry smile on his face, and he didn't know how to explain it, but after thinking about it, he simply didn't explain, and nodded silently.
The old lady smiled with satisfaction, "In this way, I will be at ease." ”
Wan Hongzhuang seemed to be able to see the tears in her eyes, which could pour out at any time, and her hands trembled and stroked the table, her face full of memories and reluctance to the past.
"Okay, the last thing is clear." The old lady let out a long sigh, as if she wanted to pour out all the depression, and then pointed to a car parked outside the door with twin flashing lights.
"See! It was a car sent by my son...... Don't look at me, I seem to be a little worried about money, but in fact, my aunt is really not short of money...... As for last night, I just wanted to see what kind of person you were. ”
"Although it doesn't look good, it's inexplicable...... It's still somewhat reliable! ”
The old lady looked at him with a kind face, "Okay, don't talk about it, otherwise you young people will hate me again, I have wasted too much time waiting for you to come back, now, I'm leaving, if it's really fate, maybe we'll have a fate to meet again." ”
With that, she stood up, brought nothing, and came to the door without any worries.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she instantly returned to the front desk in an extremely vigorous posture, opened the drawer, took out a small box from it, and then stuffed it into Wan Hongzhuang's hand, "This is the last thing that Auntie left you." ”
"Boys must protect girls, when you can't make promises to her......"
Wan Hongzhuang looked at the box of small raincoats in his hand with a dull face, a little overwhelmed, and then hurriedly stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
When the old lady saw this, she couldn't help but laugh, and then walked slowly to the door again.
She looked at everything deeply, as if she wanted to take everything into her eyes, her emotions began to stir, and two lines of tears finally slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't wipe it, and she didn't want to...... At this moment, she just wanted to let her emotions surge.
It should be a memorial, a trace of her existence.
Wan Hongzhuang looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and his mind couldn't help but start to surge, maybe as Wang Fatzi said, he really should leave here, because he really couldn't find a reason to continue staying.
After a long time, the old lady slowly restrained her emotions.
"This shop, let it end completely at this moment!"
Wan Hongzhuang could barely feel any emotion from her words, but he could hear the strong meaning of sending off the guest in it.
He subconsciously dragged the pink box and followed the old lady's footsteps to the door together.
The snow outside the house was still falling and noisy, as if it wanted to hide everything.
At this moment, he inexplicably began to hate snow.
"Why, are you still stunned? My wife and son don't have any nostalgia, but you young people are so emotionally fragile? ”
Seeing that Wan Hongzhuang didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, the old lady turned her head suspiciously and looked at him, her eyes full of scrutiny.
"Oh, I see!" The old lady's face showed a look of sudden realization, "It's a quarrel, so you have to wait here for her to appear and admit your mistake to her?" ”
Wan Hongzhuang didn't know what to say.
The old lady smiled, "Okay, the old woman will help you one last time." ”
She pointed to a bungalow next to the hotel, "There, do you see, the house with the signboard is not locked...... You can stay over there and wait for her to come. ”
"You don't need to lock the door when you leave, I'll arrange for someone to come and deal with it when the time comes, anyway, there's nothing valuable in it."
After saying this, she glanced at Wan Hongzhuang deeply, "Remember Auntie's words, treat other little girls well...... And, anyway, go to a promising city and don't waste your time here! ”
Then she waved her hand again and turned to get into the car.
With the BMW flying away, this small hotel, which once carried the dreams of countless young people, finally completed its historical mission.
Looking at the world that fell silent again, Wan Hongzhuang couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, thousands of thoughts lingering in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
Sighing helplessly, he dragged the suitcase back to the bungalow.
Await.
He needed to wait until Xiaoxue came over, and then hand over the suitcase to him, but he was still a little reluctant after all, although his intentions gradually faded with the old lady's departure...... But in the end, I still feel a little angry.
He wanted to know how his reality would change if he went back to his memories and made a different choice than he had at that time.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but be a little stupid.
I don't know how long later, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and at the same time, there were also shouts of "Auntie".
It's Xiaoxue coming.
Wan Hong stood up vigorously, opened the door, and greeted Xiaoxue, who was knocking on the door.
Maybe it was because his appearance was a little sudden, coupled with his current outfit and the bandage on his head...... For a moment, Xiaoxue seemed a little surprised, and then couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Chef, head chef...... You, how did you come here! ”
Wan Hongzhuang's face turned red instantly, fortunately, under the cover of the night, he didn't see it much, but he still hurriedly greeted her, "Come in first, it's cold outside!" ”
Xiao Xue's face showed a little hesitation, but she still followed Wan Hongzhuang into the room with kindness.
……
"It turns out that Auntie has already left!" Xiaoxue's face couldn't hide the expression of loss.
At this time, the two of them were randomly finding a few pieces of cardboard and sitting on the floor.
"Hmm." Wan Hongzhuang nodded, he suddenly found that he was a little afraid to face Xiaoxue, I don't know why.
Maybe it's the words that Wang Fatzi said...... In the past, what kind of past did he have, and why every time he thought about it, he felt a little headache.
"You're running out like this, are you okay?" Xiaoxue pointed to Wan Hongzhuang's head with some concern, "Also, why did you come here so late?" ”
Indeed, his appearance is quite illogical.
At least Xiaoxue didn't know that he also lived here last night, and the air conditioner mentioned in the morning...... Wan Hongzhuang's face couldn't help but show an embarrassed look, and he hurriedly pulled the topic away, "Let's not talk about this for now, what are you going to do tonight?" ”
Due to Wan Hongzhuang's absence and the shortage of manpower in the store, by the time Xiaoxue came, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening...... At this point, it seems that it is not so easy to find a place to live.
What's more, she is shy at this time.
Just like the old lady said, you may not be able to find a cheaper place than her when you look all over Yongzhou. What she does is purely a kind of feedback, more like a feeling.
"I don't know ...... either" Xiaoxue's voice was weak, her eyes staring at the floor, her face full of confusion.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Wan Hongzhuang somehow felt a burst of distress inexplicably, "Or, go to me?" ”
Xiao Xue raised her head violently, with a strange look on her face.
Wan Hongzhuang hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I mean, why don't you go to the place I rented first, anyway, I rented a suite, and one room happened to be empty." ”
"You can go to my place first...... If you can find the right place, move out again......"
Wan Hongzhuang's voice became weaker and weaker, and it seemed that even he felt unconfident.
Xiaoxue looked at Wan Hongzhuang with a little hesitation...... His proposal was something she hadn't expected, it was just a formality, and she couldn't think of any other ideas for a while.
Even if she can find a place to live tonight, the money in her pocket can support her for a few days?
- Obviously, the boss of the pit daddy will not agree to her salary advance.
"Shared, okay, it's shared."
Wan Hongzhuang stood up and gestured, "You live there, and then help me share a small part of the rent, if you can do some housework by the way, it would be great." ”
"Look...... All right? ”
Wan Hongzhuang felt like a bad guy who abducted an ignorant girl, but he had a thought in his heart, which kept driving him to make this proposal.
Xiaoxue's face was still a little hesitant, and then it seemed to become firm, "That'...... Let's go! Just like that, share a room with you. Don't think too much about it! ”
An inexplicable joy began to explode in the bottom of my heart.
Wan Hong stood up violently, "Then let's go back!" ”
I don't know if it's too excited or the force of the jump is too strong. The box of small raincoats that his aunt had photographed him just now jumped out in an instant
Under the illumination of the light, the silver shell is extremely dazzling.
Wan Hongzhuang's expression instantly stiffened, "I said it wasn't mine, do you believe it?" ”
