I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 182 Do you want to meet

It was already 12:[-] in the middle of the night when I left the "Wangjiang Pavilion" restaurant, and I was wandering alone on the street.At this moment, I no longer expect to receive Ye Zhi's reply, I just want to use this limited time to get a closer look at Shanghai, a city that once caused me so much pain.

Strictly speaking, now I have no interest disputes with this city, so I will not look at it with too hostile eyes; I try to accept every plant and every tree here with a soft mood. A street lamp, so the whole city is soft...

Tired from walking, I sat down on the flower pond by the side of the road. I habitually lit a cigarette, and while rubbing my hands to keep warm, I looked at the hanging towers beside the buildings in the distance. If a city is also a person, it never seems to stop its own pace... I know that if I come back here five years later, it will definitely be built into a different scene, but what about me at that time?
I certainly hope that both love and career have had a good harvest.

……

After sitting for a while, I thought of the woman who occupied Lu Jia's number, and then I remembered the fact that we had to go to the Bund to have a date because we were not speculative... Now, I am near the Bund, but I don't know that she is also in Shanghai , is doing something.

The past six months should be quite unforgettable for her... She was cheated by her boyfriend first, and then got pregnant unexpectedly. Although she did not choose to have that child in the end, she would definitely go through an extremely difficult mental journey.

Time is a good medicine. Now that she has calmed down, she should have a new understanding of life... Thinking about it carefully, although we are strangers to each other, our fate is quite similar. I also met in Shanghai After being broken up and enduring the inevitable pain, she is waiting for a new life just like her... I can feel that she is a very strong woman. Although she has been negative, she has never really given up on herself and herself. Life.

……

Taking out my phone from my pocket, I sent her a message: "Believe it or not, I'm on the Bund right now."

"Trust you asshole."

"Haha... Don't be afraid, I didn't want to ask you out... The matter of dating has been turned over here."

"Have you really returned to Shanghai?"

"Yeah... Looking at Shanghai in a different mood, it seems that it is not as depressing as before... This feeling is quite good."

"You want to tell me, will you return to Shanghai to live in the future?"

"Not coming back...I'm a good horse."

"Then why did you come back this time?"

"A friend was hospitalized and came to see...but I couldn't get in touch."

"You're really badass!...Besides, what kind of friend is someone who can't even be contacted?"

"It's ironic to say... Forget it, that's not the point... Let me tell you about the business, I have already prepared the house for you to live in Dali with your friends during the Chinese New Year. You should inform me three days in advance before you go. I'll arrange a pick-up."

"Well...how is the environment of the house?"

"There is a small suite upstairs and downstairs, we guarantee your satisfaction."

"What about the price?"

"Originally, the price was [-] nights. If I give it to you, it will be [-]."

"Fortunately...it's not as expensive as I thought."

"Friendship price, of course it won't be expensive."

"Are we friends?"

"What do you think of this score... If you have to meet each other to be considered friends, then we definitely don't count."

"Do you want to meet... right now."

My heart moved for no reason, but I replied after a while: "Forget it, see you in Dali."

"You don't regret it."

"I don't regret it...unless you change your mind and stop going to Dali."

After this message was sent, the other party nervously chose not to reply, but I didn't care about it... For me, I was just curious about her, and if I wanted to talk about feelings, that wouldn't be a thing.

I couldn't help but think of Yang Sisi again, thinking that it would be difficult to meet again after this time, it was really a little hurt!
……

Before I knew it, I arrived at the small hotel I had booked on Meituan, and after registering my personal information, I checked in.People say that you get what you pay for, and it is very appropriate to use it in this hotel.

There is really no air conditioning in the room, just an old TV, and even hot water is limited to 10 minutes because the water heater is small.

I had to give up the idea of ​​taking a hot bath. After a simple wash, I lay on the bed. Fortunately, there was an electric blanket, which finally provided me with a relatively comfortable sleeping environment. Compared with the Wangjiang Pavilion where I just had dinner, There is still a gap in my heart, and I can't even tell which one is real, the me in Wangjiang Pavilion or the me in this small hotel.

……

After staying up for an hour, I fell asleep in a daze. I had a dream: I dreamed of Ye Zhi.

In the dream, she replied to my message, and I went to the hospital to visit her with fruits... She was deeply moved, and I also boldly admitted the fact that I liked her, we hugged in the ward, and she became my love girlfriend.

This dream is like a blockbuster movie, because the time span is very long... After Ye Zhi became my girlfriend, she accompanied me back to that small mountain city and officially met my family.The family was very satisfied with her, and it didn't take long for us to start talking about marriage...

Everything went well, and soon the wedding day came, and I brought my relatives and friends to greet my relatives.The problem finally came, I didn’t know where she lived, we were driving, as if we were on an adventure, we met lakes for a while, passed mountains for a while, and finally started to lose our way in the city...

I woke up with a start, and it took me a while to recover, and then I laughed at myself... because even if it is a dream, it must be based on reality. Not to mention her family situation.

As for the two of us, whether we are together or not, we still have a long way to go, so this dream is ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

……

Before seven o'clock, I got up, and I stood at the very small window to wash... Probably because I hadn't slept enough, after washing my face, my spirit was still in a trance, and I forgot where I was at a certain moment .

It wasn't until I saw fog outside the window that I was sure it wasn't in Dali, because Dali hardly gets foggy.

Knowing that I was in Shanghai, I couldn't help but feel a little complicated. Then I picked up my phone and looked at it, but what I got was still disappointment... Until now, Ye Zhi still didn't reply to my message.

I don't know what happened to her, and I don't even know why I want to go back to Shanghai... But I am no longer the angry young man I used to be, I just shook my head helplessly, then returned to the house from the bathroom, and packed my luggage .

I booked the plane at 10:30 in the morning, and while there was still some time, after I checked out, I found a breakfast shop nearby, ordered a bowl of porridge and pancakes, and then ate absent-mindedly.

For a moment, I thought I was the office worker struggling in Shanghai, because I ate breakfast like this for countless mornings at work.

As the sun rose, the city gradually became busy, so I saw countless people wearing all kinds of shoes walking on the street...

I should give Yang Sisi something before I leave...Maybe there is still time, I can go buy a pair of shoes.

I did what I said, I took the half-eaten oil cake in my mouth, and then I carried my luggage and started to shuttle along the streets along the way, looking for a higher-grade shoe store.

……

I was lucky, there happened to be an Airjordan store across the street, the store had just opened, and the waiter was cleaning the windows, I said to her: "Hello, I want to buy a pair of shoes for a female friend, can you recommend one ?”

The waiter glanced at me, and said politely, "Sir, if it's for a female friend, I suggest you don't buy shoes."

"why?"

"Because the shoes are worn on the feet, if you give her shoes, it means that you will send her away, or they will fall apart after walking... Anyway, this is a taboo, and ordinary couples will not give them away."

I randomly picked up a pair of shoes on the shoe rack, looked at them, and then sighed with a smile: "Is there such a saying?"

"Well...you can buy a bag for her, and the meaning is very good."

"I don't think so... Think about it, shoes come in pairs, and no one can do without the other, and they can go a long way together. Some of these roads are at the foot of the mountain, and some are at the sea. Bian... Isn't this artistic conception very good?"

After a short pause, I continued, "Actually, we're not a couple either...she's going to study abroad soon, even if it's what you said, it's a good idea to give a pair of shoes...let's buy some shoes."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure... I'm not a superstitious person, I just hope that she can take every step in the future, and nothing else is important."

"Okay then, I'll recommend you a dress that's more suitable for girls."

I nodded, and when the waiter showed me a pair of shoes, my phone vibrated. After I apologized to the waiter, I took the phone out of my pocket...

Life really likes to joke with people, just when I had completely lost hope, Ye Zhi actually replied to my message!
