Gu Man slowly opened his eyes.

It was already dark all around, and a huge and empty darkness swept over in an instant, and she felt that her heart was a little weightless, and it kept sinking.

After a long delay, this feeling of being abandoned by the world gradually faded away.

The phone was still ringing rapidly.

She turned over, touched the brightly lit cell phone in the dark, squinted at the caller ID, and frowned.

He rubbed his temples with some headaches, and although there was a slight slack in his cold eyes, he still pressed the answer.

"Xiao Manman, where are you?" An old but mischievous naughty boy's voice came over the phone.

Gu Man: "I just woke up." Although his tone was slightly respectful, he could still hear a little carelessness.

"I'm coming to the Imperial Capital! I think our apprenticeship ceremony can be put on the agenda!" After saying that, there was a burst of hearty laughter.

It sounds like that person is in a very good mood now.

Gu Man directly and cruelly destroyed his good mood: "When did I say I promised to be your apprentice?"

indicated a refusal.

Sure enough, the other side quit immediately, and the gentle and persuasive voice immediately raised a bit: "Xiao Manman! You forgot what you said yourself?! You, you can't be so cruel!"

"Old Xu, why am I so cruel? I just remember that I told you that next time you come back from abroad, I will think about it, and I've been very busy recently, so I don't have time to ask for a teacher." Gu Man said seriously.

In her previous life, when she was about ten years old, she was led by her mother, and she and her brothers tried out a public violin lesson by Teacher Xu Mingming.

According to what my mother said at the time, this violin teacher surnamed Xu was arrogant by nature, and his lessons were hard to come by, so my mother took a lot of connections to bring the three brothers and sisters to his open class.

At that time, when I was about ten years old, I just played a short part of that class casually. After that, this famous teacher surnamed Xu pestered me and insisted on accepting me as an apprentice.

She didn't see where he was arrogant by nature.

At that time, I was already obsessed with studying computer things, and my interest was not in the violin, so I didn't agree to his request for apprenticeship.

My mother has always respected my wishes, so I didn't force myself to worship this teacher.

In the last life, I also heard about this teacher Xu. He later participated in many international performance competitions and won gold medals in many competitions.

Later, the fame became more and more famous in the world, and I changed my name, which seems to be called MULAN.

Calculated to the present time point, he should have already become a world-class violin playing master by now.

Although I rejected him at that time, he would send himself a message every holiday to contact him.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, and he still hasn't forgotten about accepting apprentices.

Gu Man was almost moved by his persistence, but now, her life is a mess, and she has no interest in being a teacher.

The guy over there was obviously very disappointed, his tone dropped, and he sighed: "Xiao Manman, like this, we haven't seen each other for many years, let's see each other first, I happen to have something to ask you~"

As long as you don't ask for a teacher, it's still okay to meet, so Gu Man nodded: "Okay, you can decide the time and place."

"Then tomorrow, at Zuixianju Restaurant, at twelve o'clock noon, see you~"

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Man made another call to the manager of Denton's restaurant.

Originally, he wanted to ask him for tomorrow's leave, but when the call was connected, before he could speak, the manager reported Han Chenlie's call to himself in fear.

Then he said: "Miss Gu, if you have anything to do, please contact Mr. Han directly. Mr. Han has issued an order, and you don't need to go through me in the future."

Gu Man scratched his head.

When he came out of the restaurant today, that guy Han Chenlie chased him out. He insisted on making himself a violinist in the restaurant, and even said that he would offer himself a high salary so that he could think about it.

Consider a der!

Immediately refused.

She understood his consideration, he must feel that the waiter was bitter, tired and humiliated.

But she doesn't think so. After a day of physical labor every day, although her body is tired, she can fall asleep when she gets home.

When she chose to be a waiter, she originally wanted to cure her insomnia when she was busy.

Moreover, I have also made many honest and honest colleagues, such as Xiao Hui, who does not have the usual scheming of rich and noble girls, she is optimistic and simple, contented and upward.

Gu Man has a good memory. When the manager reported Han Chenlie's phone number to her, she didn't even have to write it down. After hanging up the manager's call, she casually entered the number on the phone.

Dial out casually.

But he found that Han Chenlie's number was stored on his phone.

Unexpectedly, for so many years, his mobile phone number has not changed.

Quick pick up over there.

"Hello? Boss Gu~" Han Chenlie's smiling voice came from the receiver.

"Well, I want to ask for leave. The manager asked me to come to you directly." Gu Man reached out and turned on the light, and got out of bed with his slippers.

Her stomach was so empty that she wanted to go downstairs and eat a bowl of noodles outside.

"Why do you ask for leave? Boss Gu... I told you that you don't need to be a waiter anymore. If you don't want to play the violin, then come manage the restaurant~" Han Chenlie seemed to sigh helplessly.

Gu Man frowned when he heard the words, walked to the entrance, grabbed his coat, bent over to put on his shoes, and casually said to Han Chenlie who was on the phone: "If that's the case, that's fine, I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow afternoon... ..."

Hearing that she let go of her compromise at the other end, her tone couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You can just open it up if you want to. What's the future of being a waiter? Help me manage the meals..."

"Go through the resignation procedures." Gu Man ignored his interruption and continued to finish the rest.

Han Chenlie plucked his ears over there: "???" Nani?
"Okay, that's it, I'm hanging up."

After finishing speaking, Gu Man hung up the phone neatly, and went straight out the door.

It doesn't matter if she resigns, she thinks carefully, if she continues to go back to work, that guy Han Chenlie will definitely treat her special.

What's the point of that.

It's better to lie dead on the bed.

Just as he was going downstairs, Han Chenlie called again. Gu Man glanced at it and pressed it down.

It's useless to talk too much, so just shut up if you know you can't explain clearly. This is the principle she believes in now.

……

Xiao's other courtyard.

The moonlight is cold, and the afterglow fills the courtyard.

Xiao Wangchu, who hadn't come back for a long time, was drinking tea with Mr. Xiao on the stone table in the backyard.

Because of the matter of entertaining Weiser at the Denton Restaurant last time, Mr. Xiao has always been brooding, and asked Xiao Wangchu again and again: "Didn't Manman think too much?"

Xiao Wangchu reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, lowered his head to hide the loneliness in his eyes, and comforted him and said, "No."

Only then did Mr. Xiao nod his head.

Sighing: "Oh, I don't know when you two will change back to how you were before~"

Thinking of Manman's indifferent appearance that day, Mr. Xiao felt very uncomfortable.

He turned his eyes and glanced at Xiao Wangchu again, knowing in his heart that these misunderstandings between them would only get deeper and deeper.

The two chatted for a while, but Mr. Xiao's mood was not very high, so most of the time they drank tea in silence together.

But suddenly, Xiao Wangchu's cell phone rang, breaking the silence.

Xiao Wangchu glanced at the caller ID, his misty eyes lit up instantly, and with joy in his voice, he said to Mr. Xiao: "Grandpa, guess who is calling?"

"Who?"

"Grandpa Yongzhi!" Xiao Wangchu said.

"Ah~ Then pick it up quickly, this old guy has been abroad for the past few years, and he hasn't contacted him for a long time!"

Xiao Wangchu nodded, and had already picked up the phone: "Grandpa Yongzhi."

But the other side shouted: "What is it called Grandpa, it is called Master!"

Xiao Wangchu touched his ears reflexively, as if the scene of this guy twisting his ears was still vivid in his memory.

So he cleared his throat: "Master!"

"Oh~ you're so good~ my good disciple~ I really want to die as a teacher!"

Xiao Wangchu had dark lines on his face, the old man was still the same as before.

"Master, why did you call me?"

"It's okay, I'm back home, shall we have dinner together tomorrow?"

Xiao Wangchu's eyes brightened again: "Have you returned to China?"

"Yes, I'll send you the time and place, but don't take your grandfather with you, I don't want to listen to him talking about it when I come back~"

Xiao Wangchu glanced at Grandpa, shook his head helplessly and chuckled: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Xiao hurriedly asked, "Has the old man returned to China?"

"Well, I'm back home."

"What else did he say?"

Xiao Wangchu didn't have the heart to relay the words, afraid of hurting Grandpa, so he said "ah", "I said that I will visit the house in person in a few days."

Mr. Xiao nodded, and muttered, "It's a bit of a conscience~"

……

Apart from a supermarket and a convenience store, there are no other restaurants on the small street where Gu Man rented.

If you want to find a place to eat, you have to go near the Third Hospital.

There is a lot of traffic and there are many restaurants.

She ate there once when she first moved here.

It's not far, just five or six minutes' walk.

So without much hesitation, Gu Man walked towards the third hospital with his straight and slender legs trimmed by skinny jeans.

Because of the low population density, the street lamps here are sparsely erected on both sides of the road, and the light appears much dim.

There are dense maple trees growing on both sides of the path, surrounded by each other.

The unfallen maple leaves at the top rustled, hidden in the darkness, well hiding the yellow and orange that seemed obvious during the day.

Gu Man wore a peaked cap on his head, and walked with his hands in his pockets and his head bowed. He was about to cross this quiet side street to the brightly lit main street ahead.

Not far away, the outpatient building of the Third Hospital is also vaguely discernible.

Suddenly, she heard a series of low sobs from the street corner ahead.

It was a girl, and the crying sounded sad.

This can be seen outside the hospital all year round, especially in the middle of the night.

Most of them are family members of patients who see a doctor in the hospital, because the family members' condition deteriorates, or they are overwhelmed by high medical expenses.

Only when night falls, I hide in the darkest corner outside the hospital and cry alone, chatting to vent.

Borrowing the cold light of the street lamp, Gu Man looked intently, and couldn't help but walk a few steps quickly, because she saw that figure seemed somewhat familiar.

It wasn't until he got closer and saw the girl's face clearly that he confirmed who it was...
