In the eyes of others, it seems that he has been drunk with sake, but Xiang Yu has become much calmer.
Occasionally Tang Yuchi talked about Jin Fubai intentionally or unintentionally, and she also spoke freely.
A few days later, Xiang Yu and Tang Yuchi went to other provinces to enjoy cherry blossoms with Tang's father and mother.
It was already night when we arrived at the destination, so we could only find a store to stay.
When he got up early, Tang Yuchi wiped the water droplets on his face with a towel and asked, "Xiang Yu, what unhappy dream did you have last night? Come on, tell me to make me happy."
"me?"
Xiang Yu squatted in front of the suitcase, took out the toiletry bag and electric toothbrush, turned his head and said, "I dreamed that Jin Fubai was gone, what's wrong?"
Tang Yuchi put the towel around his neck, and was silent for a long time: "Last night, you seemed to be suffering badly in your dream. Your godmother got up in the middle of the night to look at you and said that your brows were frowning."
"It's me, don't you cry? And I didn't realize it myself, what did you say it for? I thought I had a sweet dream."
"Deceiving yourself."
"I'm happy, can I handle it?"
This conversation is with her, even if it's over.
But Tang Yuchi was thoughtful until the cherry blossom viewing.
It happened that Mother Tang urged him and asked him when he would find a lovely daughter-in-law for her.
Tang Yuchi ran to her and asked her, "Xiang Yu, you can just find a man you almost like to marry. It's too hard for you. Anyway, find someone to accompany you and help you share the unhappiness in life."
This year, the cherry blossoms are very prosperous. There is an ice cream in the shape of cherry blossoms in the scenic spot. Many girls stand under the cherry trees and take photos with the ice cream.
It was the moonlight, and when the wind of late spring blew, the petals fell like snow, rustling.
There was laughter in the wind, and there were crowds under the trees.
The sweet fragrance of ice cream came over, but some thoughts in my heart are enduring, more leisurely than this warm wind.
Xiang Yu retracted his gaze from the ice cream stand and shook his head in the bright sunshine.
The diamond earrings folded the sunlight and shone finely.
She just smiled: "What kind of marriage? Could there be a man who would allow me to wear the ring that Jin Fubai gave me after marrying me, and then miss my old lover a hundred times a day?"
"One hundred times? Is it that exaggerated?"
"Maybe there is." Xiang Yu said with a smile.
"Yuyao, Yuchi, do you want ice cream, and let your godfather buy it for you?"
Mother Tang was wearing a cheongsam and waved to them with a smile, "I see those young children taking pictures with ice cream."
Tang Yuchi slammed his elbow into Taro: "Ice cream, do you want to eat it? You didn't like these cold ones the most? The one sold in the small supermarket in high school, four circles? Or eight circles? I think you can eat them. A whole box."
Xiang Yu shook his head as if thinking of something, "I still don't eat it."
She was very calm for a while.
No one knows that she actually used her own way to find Jin Fubai.
The day after eating Japanese food with Tang Yuchi, Xiang Yu received a call while working overtime.
A staff member on the phone politely said that the property belonging to Mr. Jin was to be repossessed and asked her to take away the things that belonged to her.
There are very few things that Xiang Yu put in Jin Fubai's place. Since Jin Fubai left, she has not been there once.
Except for a thick layer of dust in the room, it was almost the same as when they left, and even Jin Fubai was still lying on the bedside table after smoking the remaining half of the pack of cigarettes.
That license plate is 44444's Mercedes key, too.
Forgot when, Jin Fubai verbally said that he would give the car to Xiang Yu, but of course she didn't want it.
But after that, he really never drove again.
Xiang Yu stared at the car keys, and an idea suddenly popped up.
She picked up the key, turned her head and asked the staff, "Can I take the car key with me?"
"Of course, Miss Xiang."
Waiting for Xiang Yu to pack up his things, and then leave, it is already night, and the community is completely silent.
She drove the car around Jin Fubai's residential area, trying to find an unfortunate car that looked very expensive.
In fact, she didn't have any hope. The people who lived in this community were either rich or expensive, and their cars would be parked in their own garages. Few people parked their cars on the ground of the community.
Turning to the back, I did see one.
Not a Maybach, but a BMW anyway.
Xiang Yu made sure that there was no one in the car, took a deep breath, stared at the car, and banged on the accelerator.
You told me not to cry when you weren't there, and that others couldn't coax me well.
Then I won't cry.
But you have to let me know if you are safe in this world and not get stabbed to death by any branch in the green belt.
Are you right, Jin Fubai.
Xiang Yu closed his eyes and slammed into it.
"Boom" made a loud noise, like Xiang Yu's body rushing forward uncontrollably with inertia, and was violently pushed back into the seat by the seat belt and the popped airbag.
Upstairs, people opened the windows and looked down.
She slowly recovered from the impact, feeling like she had been beaten, her neck and head hurt, the side door of the BMW in front of her had been knocked into a broken pit, and the front of Jin Fubai's car was tattered.
The owner of the car is estimated to be someone watching the fun upstairs. In the tinnitus, Xiang Yu heard someone say "Fuck" first, and then slammed the door and went downstairs.
It was a curly-haired man in a nightgown.
He opened his mouth with unstoppable anger: "My car doesn't move here, and you all hit it? What kind of driver's license are you taking with your disability?"
Xiang Yu unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, standing beside the car honestly, feeling guilty about doing bad things and uneasy about completing the plan.
If people are really angry, even if they beat her up, she will admit it.
Xiang Yu even suppressed the emotions of all parties, thinking rationally in her heart, how to say how people would agree, and sue her and the original car owner to court.
It seems that the perpetrator has no ability to repay?
She didn't bring a penny of cash in her pocket, so was she unable to repay?
As a result, the curly-haired man scolded a few words and suddenly stopped.
With a look of disbelief, he stared at the license plate number for a long time before he said, "Is it... my sister-in-law?"
Xiang Yu raised his eyes blankly and carefully identified it in the night, and then vaguely remembered that she had met this person in the Li Chuchang.
Because the curly-haired man and Mr. Qu were close at that time, she was not willing to pay attention to them.
The curly-haired man glanced at the license plate number again, and lit a cigarette angrily: "Are you all right?"
"Um."
The curly-haired man said with a face full of resignation, "sister-in-law, I'll call you a cab home, give me an address, and I'll have your car repaired and have it delivered to you."
Xiang Yu firmly disagreed, saying that I will repair the car, and I will pay you how much money it takes. Can you ask the insurance company to call the original owner?
In the end, the man couldn't screw it, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to offend him. In the end, he did as she said.
Xiang Yu looked forward to the owner of the car, but did not wait for any familiar faces.
The person who came was a young man in a black suit. He looked rigid and unsmiling. He got out of the taxi, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurried over.
The man talked with the car owner about the compensation for the car, seriously refused to pay Tao, and then said goodbye to her.
During the whole process, there was only one sentence that made Xiang Yu’s chest tremble—
"Miss Xiang, you don't need to refuse me. Mr. Jin told me many years ago that I will help you solve any problems with this car. You will never be responsible for anything. Don't make me embarrassed anymore."
After speaking, the man turned to leave.
Xiang Yu took a deep breath and stopped him: "Please wait a moment."
The man in the suit stood still and turned his head: "What other orders do you have?"
Xiang Yu took a deep breath and just said softly, "Is he still alive?"
The man may be very embarrassed, and he was silent for a long time. After a long time, Xiang Yu thought he would not answer, so he nodded: "Mr. Jin is fine, please take care of yourself, Miss Xiang, and stop doing dangerous things."
The night wind was a little cold, and Xiang Yu couldn't help rubbing his arms.
She suddenly stood beside the two cars in a mess and laughed, the night wind choked with laughter, and she coughed a little.
What I thought in my mind was that it was good to live.
When I was in school, every Friday in the extracurricular knowledge development class, the teacher would show some documentaries.
Xiang Yu remembered that there was an astronomical documentary about the fall of meteorites and meteors, which contained that kind of footage:
A meteorite fell to the ground, and it exploded at the same time as it fell to the ground.
Xiangyu is now like a crater where the dust has settled in the video.
But later, when she recalled the man in the suit again and again, she began to be suspicious again, feeling that when he said "Mr. Jin is fine", it always seemed reluctant.
In order to prevent herself from thinking wildly, she stopped using the mini telescope to look in the opposite direction.
It was Zhou Lie who told her about the change of flowers in the opposite building.
Zhou Lie stood by her desk, blocking some of the sunlight by the window, and cast his figure on her desk, and suddenly asked her, "Xiang Yu, how long have we known each other?"
"About six or seven years?"
Xiang Yu was surprised when he said it.
Also, this is her first job after graduation, and it has been until now.
Zhou Lie said: "If the company changes its address, will you continue to do it?"
Xiang Yu was playing Xiaoxiaole and asked, "Is the company going to move out?"
"possible."
Zhou Lie told her that he was talking about another independent office building, and if the price was right, he might move the company there.
With the company's current size, it is indeed a good thing to have an independent office building.
Xiang Yu smiled: "If I move away, I won't go. The company has raised enough salted fish for so many years, so I won't follow the past to make trouble."
Zhou Lie's fingertips hanging beside his trousers, curled up without a trace.
He said, "I'm sorry you didn't come."
"What's the pity, the office scandal is solved, and one person's salary can be saved, which is great." Xiang Yu said carelessly.
Zhou Lie was grateful to her in the early years, she could feel it.
Some things are not possible to do.
Zhou Lie has the ability, but perhaps without those coincidences, it is still difficult for him to achieve his current achievements when he is 50 years old.
The "coincidence" is just because she works in this company.
Many people gave Jin Fu white face and gave the green light to the company all the way, and it has developed so smoothly.
Xiang Yu had thought about it since the English newspaper appeared on Zhou Lie's desk.
He knew that she was no longer Jin Fubai's girlfriend or lover, and whether she would still keep her at her salary as if she had offered her ancestors a high salary, and play with her mobile phone every day.
So she thought, if the company moved, she would not go.
People are more important to get together and to disperse, so as not to tear up the face in the end and waste so many years of acquaintance.
And when she left, the flowers on the opposite side were ignored, so pitiful.
Zhou Lie didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, Xiang Yu locked his phone out of anger towards himself before he finished walking the game of Xiaoxiaole.
He raised his eyes again to meet Zhou Lie's gaze.
He has been looking at her.
Glasses blocked part of his expression, but it still made people feel that his emotions were complicated.
Xiang Yu was startled, and if he felt something, he decisively changed the topic: "Look, look, I'm sitting at the workstation playing games, and you don't look good to you, do you?"
"Xiangyu."
He called out this time, and Xiang Yu sighed inwardly.
It seemed impossible to escape.
However, Zhou Lie is not a man who is difficult for a strong man.
He just pushed on his glasses and said in a very sincere tone: "I don't dislike you when you are playing with your mobile phone at the workstation, and I don't dislike the gossip they spread."
He seemed to give himself time to think about his words, pause for a few seconds, and then continued: "Actually, I'm looking forward to those gossip rumors coming true."
Xiang Yu smiled and avoided the key points lightly: "It is rumored that the company's printer will move by itself in the middle of the night, and that there is always crying in the last toilet on the 6th floor, do you also hope it will come true?"
Zhou Lie stopped just like that, forced a smile and said, um, yes, rumors are rumors, and there is no way they can come true.
That day was another day of overtime work. This overtime work was caused by the mistakes of the company's employees. Eighty percent of the entire company was overwhelmed and busy with their own work.
Xiang Yu was busy until 11:30. After the end, Zhou Lie offered to send her home.
She did not refuse.
If Zhou Lie wants to say something, it is better to make it clear earlier.
It was already dark outside the window, but the Imperial City is good for that. No matter what time of day, the lights are always bright at night.
The commercial buildings in the distance are hung with shining light signs with millions of advertising fees, and the street lights wind around the building along the road, like a string of jewels.
Zhou Lie suddenly asked her, "What is this pot of green plants on your table?"
These two pots of green plants have been raised to taro for several years.
But she is not good at keeping things. She always remembers the fact that she kept the prickly pear cactus to death before, so she does not dare to water more.
Then I watched the two pots of green plants, which were so dry that they fell leaves.
Later, I finally mastered the watering cycle, and this thing gave birth to insects again and was dying.
She struggled for a long time. On weekends, she went to the flower and bird market to learn from the flower owner and exchanged several brands of pesticides.
In the end, a flower seller taught her to change the soil. The new soil should be irrigated several times with hot water, dried in the sun, killed the eggs, and then cultivated.
The insects are cleaned up, the soil nutrients are not enough, the leaves are always blue and yellow, and they are not spiritual.
Xiangyu had to learn to fertilize again.
It has been four years since she brought this pot of green plants to the office in 2015, and it has only grown a little in her hands.
I vaguely remember that the bad guy Jin Fubai had laughed at her before, just after she raised the cactus to death.
He sat on the sofa with his legs wide open one afternoon, and threw her a small box, the one he usually wears agarwood sticks.
The taro was opened and there was a piece of dry moss inside.
She raised her eyes for unknown reasons, and heard Jin Fubai say with a smile, you can't waste such a good flower cultivation talent, just feed this little moss.
Xiang Yu violently suppressed his proposal, but he actually stuffed orange seeds into the flowerpot.
Hearing Zhou Lie ask, Xiang Yu smiled.
As she put the charger into her backpack, she said, "It's just a few orange seeds, which he planted at will, and I keep them."
They knew who this "he" was referring to.
Zhou Lie nodded and stopped talking.
He didn't mean to be silent, he just had nothing to say.
Regarding the rumors about Xiang Yu, he has heard more than just gossip in the office these years.
So he was still not sure what kind of woman Xiang Yu was.
In Zhou Lie's eyes, she was not vain, magnanimous, rational, and long-term affectionate.
Just like her attitude towards the pot of orange saplings on the table, it is enough to see her character.
The small saplings have long and narrow leaves, stretching under the light.
Zhou Lie has also seen Xiang Yu busy spraying insecticides on flowers.
At that time, he didn't have any other thoughts about her, and he joked: "This medicine smells really strong. Don't kill the bugs and make you sick."
In fact, it is not difficult to see Xiang Yu's love for Jin Fubai.
This pot of orange saplings was always left here, but no matter what happened, she never thought of throwing them away.
But instinctively, trying to find a way to help.
When the car drove downstairs to Xiangyu's house, Zhou Lie turned off the engine and did not press the lock button of the car door.
Xiang Yu was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for him to speak.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have told you that. It will put you unnecessary pressure. It's my own business to have a slight affection for you. I hope you don't use this as a criterion for whether or not to resign."
Zhou Lie is from the south, and his voice is gentle: "Xiang Yu, over the years, the company has come to this point, it would be impossible without you, I have always regarded you as one of the founders of the company, and I don't think your salary is worth it. Ashamed, I hope you will think about it more."
Xiang Yu returned a polite smile: "If there is a suitable position, I will consider it. Forget the front desk. I am old now and I am not suitable for the front desk."
"How about the personnel department?"
After Zhou Lie asked about Lvzhi, he restrained his selfishness.
He sincerely suggested: "Actually, you are really accurate in seeing people. Every time I want to fire someone and keep someone, you can quickly analyze the pros and cons. It's better to go to the personnel department. In addition to recruiting people, you also have time to play mobile games."
"The premise is that the company does not move its address."
I don't know why, at that moment, Xiang Yu only thought a little sleepily after working overtime:
Jin Fubai is such a prodigal. If there is a chance to meet in the future, will he go to buy the opposite office building because of her changing office location and use it for flower arrangement?
After all, he really is a total prodigal!
The company really didn't move the address, and the asking price of the independent office building was too different from Zhou Lie's estimate, so he had to give up.
Xiang Yu asked himself to be transferred to the personnel department in charge, and his salary was also reduced, but he was relieved to get it.
Near the graduation season of college students, the personnel department was a little busy. On the day of recruiting new front desk staff, Xiang Yu accidentally met an acquaintance.
The little Xingyan back then was sitting in the interview room of their company at the moment.
When she saw Xiang Yu, she was stunned at first, and then she showed a surprised look. After the surprise, she was deeply disturbed.
Maybe it was because he was worried that Xiang Yu knew about her past energy, and as an excuse, he did not recruit her.
It is rare that Xiao Xingyan is still the same as in the past, and all emotions are displayed on his face.
Cute and transparent.
Thinking like this, Xiang Yu sat among the three interviewers and suddenly laughed.
Xiao Xingyan immediately sat upright, and her eyes widened.
The interview materials in her hand were wrinkled by her pinching.
After the interview that day, Xiang Yu stopped her in the corridor: "Want to sit in my office? Make coffee for you?"
Xiao Xingyan lost her nervousness during the interview just now, and followed Xiang Yu into the door, looked around her office, and sighed, "Long time no see."
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Yeah, why do you remember to submit your resume here?"
"It was introduced by a classmate. I also just graduated this year. Didn't I study hard in college? After failing several subjects, I was downgraded and re-read..."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Xingyan was startled again, "I-I'm actually quite capable. Back then, it was..."
Xiang Yu handed her the brewed coffee, indicating that he would not stumble: "I came into this room just to reminisce."
"Oh."
Maybe everyone has a past, buried deep in their hearts, and no one wants to mention it.
But when I really met someone related to that past, I couldn't help but talk endlessly.
After a lapse of years, Xiao Xingyan no longer wears that diamond bracelet.
She smiled and said that the chain was sold by her and used for tuition and living expenses for a year of repeating.
She told the story in detail, saying that when she met President Qu, she set up a stall at the school night market to sell some gadgets. Someone pressed her cargo on an electric bicycle, and she didn't want to pay for it, so she burst into tears.
It was at that time that Mr. Qu appeared and helped her out in time.
"President Qu, wearing a suit, squatted on the ground to help me pack up, and then sent me back to the dormitory downstairs. At that time, I thought he was like a hero."
It didn't take long for Mr. Qu to start asking her out.
At first, I invited her to dinner and bought her something, and then I started to take her to the hotel to open a room.
Xiao Xingyan sighed: "After we separated, I thought carefully, it wasn't a good fate that I met him, he was with a girl from the dance department at that time, and he just sent that girl back to school that day. happened to meet me."
"I haven't met you in the tennis hall since, and unfortunately, I haven't left any contact information." Xiang Yu said.
"I was in a bad mood at the time. I thought he was just constantly changing the girls around him and trying to stay by his side for a longer time. Only later did I find out that he has a wife and children, and I have seen him before. His daughter is already in junior high school. It is impossible for me to be with him anymore, and the more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable.”
The separation was proposed by Xiao Xingyan.
This made Xiang Yu feel a lot more comfortable.
After chatting for a long time, Xiao Xingyan suddenly asked, "Sister Xiang Yu, are you still with Mr. Jin?"
After she asked, maybe she felt inappropriate, her face flushed with anxiety, and she whispered, "I didn't mean that, I just thought, you are different, so I..."
Xiang Yu understood what she meant.
Xiao Xingyan always had feelings for Qu back then, and she had regrets herself, so she hoped that at least others would be successful.
Xiang Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.
Later, Xiao Xingyan really passed two interviews and became the new front desk of the company.
Xiang Yu can see her every day at work and after get off work, and occasionally sit with her and chat with her.
Spring has passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it is June, the temperature is warmer, and I want to add ice cubes when drinking coffee.
Maybe there is divine will in the dark, starting from Xiao Xingyan, Xiang Yu began to meet people from the old days frequently during this month.
It was originally a gathering of the personnel department, and Xiang Yu, as the supervisor, promised to take the employees of the department to go out.
The employees were naturally cheering, and a colleague suggested that they go to a newly opened nightclub to play after dinner.
It's just that Xiang Yu didn't expect that after eating and taking a taxi, the road became more and more familiar.
She sat in the front passenger seat, tilted her head and asked, "Is this the road?"
"Yeah, that's right."
A little girl sitting in the back of the car said excitedly, "This nightclub has been open for many years, but it closed down last year for rectification. It seems that the owner has changed and the decoration is cooler. It is very popular now."
The car was parked in front of Li Yu's field, and the blue light strip above his head had been replaced, and the entire building glowed bright yellow.
The two winged lion statues at the door were also replaced by flickering lamp posts.
Xiang Yu followed up silently, and the layout didn't change, but the decoration was more futuristic.
Walking into the surging field is like entering a certain time and space many years later.
The one closest to the DJ booth used to be Li Hao's favorite. Xiang Yu often sat there with them. No matter what they were talking about, she would play greedy snakes regardless of herself.
Now it is full of young men and women with unfamiliar faces, and some people spend a lot of money and open a row of lavish wine.
She suddenly remembered that Li Lu's birthday was that year, and the diamonds hanging on her body were 20 carats in total. She stood in front of the stage, raised her hand, and her whole body was dazzling.
He said happily: "Thank you friends for coming to my birthday party."
It's only been a few years.
This incident made people uneasy. Xiang Yu stayed for a while, feeling uncomfortable, so he settled the bill and got up to say goodbye first.
Before the called car arrived, she went to the bathroom to clean up her makeup, and was hit by a woman who had been drinking too much.
The woman was covered in alcohol and perfume, wearing a sequined dress, and bumped her head with her hair down.
Xiang Yu subconsciously stabilized her, slammed her back against the wall, and was in pain.
The woman was very thin and thin, her shoulder blades protruded from her backless skirt, and she was planted in Xiang Yu's arms, but she didn't respond.
"Are you OK?"
After asking Xiang Yu, the woman held on and raised her head.
The messy hair slipped from his face, and at that moment, Xiang Yu saw the innocent and pure eyes of the other party clearly in the confusion of lights.
It's An Sui.
She was so drunk that her eyes were blurred, and she didn't even recognize Xiang Yu, she just said faintly, "Thank you."
Then he ran into the bathroom crookedly.
The uncomfortable vomiting sound kept coming out of the compartment, Xiang Yu sighed, took out a pack of tissues from his bag, walked over, knocked on the door, and handed it in through the crack of the door.
The paper towel was quickly picked up by the person who had vomited and was sitting on the ground. Xiang Yu retracted his hand and left the night scene.
After graduating from high school that year, An Sui wore a school uniform and took a group photo with the class. Xiang Yu and Tang Yuchi squatted under the shade of a tree and waited for her.
After taking the photo, she ran over like a butterfly, smiled and said, "Thank you for waiting for me for so long."
At that time, Tang Yuchi was very dog-legged. He handed over the cold milk tea and fanned the people with a mini electric fan. He said, no hard work, no hard work, we Suisui have been admitted to a key school, and we should wait.
Xiang Yu took a breath in the evening breeze and got into the taxi.
The imperial city is not big, but it is really not small. More than 20 million people gather in it, but she always meets old people.
The taxi window was half open, and the wind at night blew gently, giving her an illusion.
It seems that Jin Fubai is someone she can also meet.
Maybe it's because I've seen things right and wrong in Li Huachang's house. When Xiang Yu was free, he would always go to the rooftop with coffee to stand for a while in the afternoon when the sun was shining.
It's quiet there, and I can think of the past time and Jin Fubai without distraction.
She remembered that for a while, she hadn't moved to Jin Fubai's house.
They lived in Li Hao's hotel suite, and sometimes Xiang Yu got up, feeling a little angry when he got up. That day, he couldn't find the earrings when he went out, so they were sullen, and they didn't talk much to Jin Fubai during the meal.
Jin Fubai saw it and was not annoyed. He served her vegetables and soup as usual.
Until the car drove downstairs to the company, he unbuckled his seat belt and kissed her. Xiang Yu didn't have the patience yet.
But she went upstairs with her forefoot, and within a few minutes, Jin Fubai swaggered to the door with a small shopping bag.
At that time, she was working at the front desk. When she saw him coming, she was stunned for a while and asked him, why are you here?
He put the bag on the front desk of the company, and said seriously, help me hand this to Xiang Yu, and pass a message for me by the way, saying that I will wait for her to eat at night.
After saying that, he left.
Xiang Yu opened the bag, and it was exactly the same as the one she couldn't find, and it was a new pair of diamond earrings.
She was indeed a little lost, and Jin Fubai got used to it more and more.
Just for the same diamond earrings, he didn't know how many pairs he had bought for her.
Sometimes when I pack things up, I often find a single ear stud. In the last drawer, 8 or 9 of these diamond ear studs are idle.
When Xiang Yu went to the rooftop with coffee, it was unfortunate that there was someone on the rooftop. The man was holding a phone, and he didn't know who he was arguing with, and he shouted fiercely.
She touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, ready to go down.
The person holding the phone suddenly turned around and saw her, the man's face showed surprise.
Zhao Yanmo hung up the phone and blurted out: "Xiang Yu, long time no see, why are you here? Do you work in this office building?"
Xiang Yu raised a coffee cup to Zhao Yanmo: "Well, long time no see, your imperial dialect has improved more than before."
Zhao Yanmo: "..."
Didn't expect to meet in such a place, the two briefly chatted a few words.
However, Zhao Yanmo suddenly sighed: "Xiang Yu, did you blame me when we broke up? I thought I was so good at that time, but I didn't expect to graduate 7 years ago and still be a small employee."
Xiang Yu shook his head calmly: "I don't remember."
Later, Zhao Yanmo said something casually, and Xiang Yu just nodded in agreement.
She didn't mean to reminisce. After drinking coffee, she was ready to say goodbye and go downstairs.
Just at this time, I received a message from the group.
Zhou Lie said that he had worked overtime and worked hard for a while. He invited some of their senior executives to dinner in the evening and asked everyone if they wanted to eat.
Usually this group seems to be deserted, and it's lively at times like this.
A group of people said that it was summer, and it was the most suitable to eat barbecue, so they began to discuss which barbecue tastes the most authentic.
Xiang Yu didn't feel much about barbecue, but because Zhao Yanmo was standing beside her, she suddenly remembered the barbecue restaurant in Xiu Chun Street.
The restaurants on that street were not as close as they used to be in school after graduation, and she hadn't been there for a few years.
Xiang Yu looked up from the phone and pointed to the direction of the stairs: "I'll go down to work first."
"Ah, let's go." Zhao Yanmo waved his hand unnaturally.
After a few steps, Xiang Yu turned around again: "By the way, do you have the phone number of the barbecue restaurant on Xiu Chun Street?"
She searched for it on the Internet just now, but couldn't find it.
"Ah? You said that store? It seems to have closed down."
Also, the integration of catering, shopping and entertainment has suddenly become popular in recent years. Many restaurants are close to shopping malls. Young people like this model, go shopping and watch movies, and have a meal near the mall.
It's not like in the early years, when I took a taxi to a far away place just to find a restaurant.
Nod to the taro and thank you casually.
Suddenly, there are some regrets. After all, that store is where she and Jin Fubai first met.
Zhao Yanmo behind him said, "If you are looking for a place to eat, don't go there. There are no restaurants on that street. Now there are not many restaurants left, and the barbecue restaurant seems to have become a nursing home or something. Yes, the walls are covered in moss..."
"moss?"
"Yeah, there are quite a few people taking pictures on that street. Some people invested money to build an artificial creek. They seem to say, in order to increase the humidity, it's better to keep moss? Now the rich people are really interesting, and they keep everything."
What Zhao Yanmo said later, Xiang Yu didn't listen carefully at all, she didn't even say goodbye to Zhao Yanmo, and ran downstairs with a coffee cup.
The high heels hit the tile, and she only felt the air in her ears condense into a hum.
Moss, moss.
- "This little thing can live for a long time. After drying for a few years, it can still live as long as it has enough water."
It was the year she and Jin Fubai first met. He pushed her to the old piano with green plants and kissed her fiercely.
Some moss was damaged, Jin Fubai was muttered by her, helplessly dumped the agarwood, and put away the moss that fell.
How could there be such a coincidence that it was the place where they met for the first time, and it was moss?
Xiang Yu ran very fast, swept into the office like a gust of wind, and met Zhou Lie, who came to the office to look for her.
Zhou Lie said, "I'm looking for you. Didn't you say in the group just now that there is a barbecue restaurant to recommend? Have you found the phone? I'll ask someone to book a private room."
"No phone, closed down."
As Xiang Yu said, he packed his bag at a high speed, turned around Zhou Lie who was standing at the door, and walked out quickly.
"Xiang Yu, where are you going?"
She didn't have time to look back, but said, "absenteeism! Missing work!"
Zhou Lie, who was behind him, looked at Xiang Yu's back running out, his eyes dimmed.
In the early years, he had seen such a cheerful Xiang Yu.
At that time, if she ran to get off work at such a fast pace, he would surely see a nice car upstairs and a noble man smoking a cigarette by the side of the car.
Xiang Yu's heart was beating very fast. She only realized when she got in a taxi. In fact, she drove to the company today, but she didn't remember it for a while.
The taxi drove towards Xiuchun Street, and Xiang Yu's mind was in chaos.
When it was near Xiuchun Street, there was a traffic jam at the intersection, which was similar to the scene in 2012.
When she was stuck in the street, she began to think wildly.
What nursing home does Jin Fubai live in?
Considering his age, he is only 35 years old. Isn't this age attractive to men?
Why did he end up in a nursing home?
When the car finally drove into Xiu Chun Street, Xiang Yu was a little stunned.
This street is completely different from the memory, although there are still some shadows of the past, but the renovation is very modern.
Familiar restaurants on the street have been transformed, including clothing stores, fruit and vegetable stores, and pharmacies.
Xiang Yu walked in and saw the moss on the stone slabs on the street, and the courtyard house that was said to have been turned into a nursing home.
There was no one in the courtyard. She pushed the door and went in. Someone told her that the place had not yet opened, and the manager was not there, so she should come back in a few days.
Those excitement and excitement, like ebb and flow, gradually receded from the body.
It turned out that Jin Fubai was not here.
She turned into the next alley in a slump. The short stone platform on the side was still there, and Xiang Yu sat on it, feeling sad.
I suddenly remembered clearly that when the teacher in junior high school taught Wen Tingjun's poem, the phrase "every thousand sails are not enough" was only used by them to ridicule a boy named "Qianfan" in the class.
Thinking about it now, she might really feel what it meant.
For so many years, Xiang Yu has never felt this way.
In a trance, I feel that if I can't meet today, she and Jin Fubai will never have another intersection in this life.
A door in the alley suddenly opened, and the young man came out to take out the garbage, then went back and closed the door.
Every few seconds, the door was slammed open again, and the wooden door slammed into the wall with a muffled sound.
Looking at Xiang Yu subconsciously, the young man shivered and pointed at her as if electrocuted, his face full of disbelief.
She suspected that there was something on her face, and raised her hand to wipe it.
But I heard the man shout a long-lost name in surprise and eagerness: "Mr. Jin! You know Jin Fubai! Right?!"
For a moment, she seemed to smell some agarwood in the air.
