Chapter 4: Cheng Ning's Phone
Twenty minutes later, the taxi dropped me off at the Hongchen Inn, paid the fare, and walked in with my suitcase and guitar on my back.
The innkeeper, a man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, some messy hair and a local accent, saw me walk in and asked, "Which guest are you who booked a room for two days?" ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
With that, I handed my ID card to the innkeeper, and after registering the information, he handed me back the key and ID card, carried my suitcase upstairs, and helped me put it in my room.
After doing all this, the innkeeper looked at me and said, "The room is complete, if it's not enough, just tell me." ”
After listening to the innkeeper, I nodded, said goodbye to the innkeeper, closed the door, opened the curtains, and I saw all the scenery of Erhai Lake.
……
The next day, when I woke up, it was already eight o'clock, and after washing up, I walked along Huanhai East Road, walked about a kilometer, and saw the breakfast shop that the innkeeper told me about last night.
After a simple breakfast, I followed the direction of going back and came to a wharf-like building, when the mobile phone prompt sounded, it was a WeChat message from Shen Ai, who I met at the airport yesterday.
I thought she wanted to return the power bank to me, but when I clicked in, I was stunned, she actually borrowed money from me, and there was still a whole number, which surprised me, after all, we had only known each other for less than a day.
"Didn't your friend borrow you?"
"Uncle, I get angry when I talk about this, I finally understand what it means to see the truth in adversity, I told my friends that the bank card was frozen, and they actually told me that I had no money, and I thought when I Shen Ai was so down, so I can only shamelessly ask the uncle to borrow money, I hope the uncle will not dislike me, and I will pay you back when I find a job."
After Shen Ai sent this message, he attached a pitiful expression that made me laugh, so he replied, "I'll transfer it to you now." ”
"Thank you, uncle!"
After ending the conversation with Shen Ai, I transferred the money to her on WeChat, and also posted: "Don't lie to me." ”
Putting away my phone, I stood in the pavilion for a while, then left and returned to the inn, took the guitar out of my bag, sat down on a chair on the balcony, and fiddled with it a few times.
To be honest, I regret booking such an inn on Ctrip, except for the better scenery, there are no entertainment facilities around, I really don't get used to it.
I lit a cigarette and smoked it, while taking out my mobile phone and rummaging through the video about Dali tourism on the short video platform, I decided to return the room and leave here after watching it for a while.
I'm going to live in a new inn, the place here is really a bit remote, and the nearest takeaway is six kilometers away, so when you go to live in a new city, you must understand the situation of the city before deciding where to go, so as not to go the wrong way.
After reading these contents, I opened Ctrip and searched for inns in the ancient city of Dali, and soon I was attracted by an inn called 'The Year of Flowers'.
I didn't look at the accommodation, only saw the name, and I had a strong yearning in my heart, so I placed an order on the software and booked a room, I planned to stay for three days and have a good time.
After booking the room, I put the guitar back, and at this moment, the mobile phone rang, I picked up the phone from the bed, glanced at the call from An Ran's friend Cheng Ning, and picked it up.
As soon as the phone was connected, before I could speak, Cheng Ning said angrily: "Fang Le, you bastard!" , If you don't like An Ran, why do you want to provoke her? Do you know how long An Ran cried when she went back, do you know how sad she was, I wanted to help her teach you a lesson, but she stopped me from letting me. Yes, women like us who hang out at night are not clean, but An Ran is a good girl, and I tell you the truth, she has never slept with a man, except for you! ”
Cheng Ning said and spoke, her tone became a little excited, I can think of how she has spent the past two days, but I don't want to argue anything, An Ran's kindness to me, I see it in my eyes, and I can't give her any promises, so I can only push her away.
"Is that enough?"
"Nope!"
"Then you go on, if you're done, then let me say it."
"You ......" Cheng Ning was speechless when he heard it.
I continued: "Cheng Ning, do you know why I refused to marry her, not only because we are not suitable, but also for another reason, because she does not have love for me, it is dependence, just imagine that one day she is no longer needed, do you think she will still be happy with me, and now I can't give her material guarantees, so I can only choose to give up, do you understand?" ”
When I said this, Cheng Ning on the other end of the phone was silent, and after a while, she whispered: "Fang Le, I'm sorry I was impulsive, but I have known An Ran for so many years, and she never cared about this, but you ......"
Cheng Ning didn't continue, but I understood what she wanted to say.
"I know what you want to say, but the emotional thing, it's not what you say, I hope you can understand, if there is nothing else, then I'll hang up first."
After speaking, I hung up the phone directly, then put the phone in my pocket, walked downstairs with my suitcase, checked out, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and drove in the direction of the ancient city of Dali.
……
On the way, I thought back to what had happened recently, and I felt like I had experienced a dream, a dream that made me feel unreal, and just as I was thinking about it, a sudden braking made me almost hit the seat in front of me.
I was about to get angry, but when I looked up, I saw a red Audi in front of me that had collided with a large truck and was hit on the edge of the viaduct, and the car was crumbling and could fall at any moment.
The situation was extremely urgent, and many people had gathered around, but no one dared to lean over, just stood there from a distance to watch the excitement.
I didn't care so much, so I asked the driver to unlock the door, pushed the door and rushed out of the car, and ran to the scene of the accident as fast as possible, and in full view of everyone, I walked over, and through the broken window, I saw that the woman sitting in the driver's seat had passed out.
The door was recessed, and I tried my best to pull it a few times without pulling it open, and the person next to me was still indifferent, and the indifference of human nature was vividly reflected here.
"A few men, I can't open this car door alone." I shouted anxiously.
There was still silence around, no one was willing to take the risk, I was anxious and said angrily: "If there are your wives and children sitting here, can you still be indifferent?" ”
Hearing my words, three young men finally came up, they grabbed the edge of the door with their hands, and pulled the door outward, although it was pitiful, but finally the door opened a gap, and when we pulled hard again, the door finally opened.
I breathed a sigh of relief and carefully picked up the woman from the car, her face was pale, her chest was slightly undulating, and she seemed to have lost consciousness, and at this time the ambulance and rescue team had arrived at the scene, I handed her over to the ambulance personnel, left my contact information and left the scene.
