I thought again of the boy who bought me an eraser for 60 cents. It's a boy, because his life has been fixed and he will never have the chance to call me "Lao Zhao" as an adult. He really likes to call me "Lao Zhao" because that's what his father calls me. My dad, this seems to be a very childish imitation, but when I think about it now, I miss it so much, miss that summer, miss the way we ran wantonly on the court, miss the one that was sold to him, but was not sold by him. Used up eraser...

I was so lost. Le Yao next to me was even more lost than me. She held her chin and kept staring at the six cents consisting of a fifty-cent note and a ten-cent coin...

I sighed and asked, "Holy crap, these sixty cents made you psychic?... Are you possessed by my friend?"

Le Yao then turned to look at me and replied: "If you miss him very much, I can be possessed by him."

This was obviously a joke, but it aroused some desire in my heart. I covered my face with my hands, and after a long time I said to her: "I miss him very much."

After a moment of silence, I heard Le Yao say to me in a childish voice: "Little classmate Zhaoyang... Why do you look so unhappy... Have you never been loved by anyone? No one is like me. Playing with you like this..."

"Stop it, he keeps calling me Lao Zhao."

Le Yao was embarrassed for a while, and sighed, "You are a little kid, but you are a big kid." Then he changed his words and said, "Lao Zhao, who is this beauty sitting next to you... She is almost endlessly beautiful... You are so beautiful, I know you." Girls don’t even know how to introduce them to me.”

I looked at her speechlessly, then smiled and replied: "Can you make the direction clearer?... He's already attached to you, why are you still saying he's sitting next to me? Where are the people..."

"Okay, I admit I'm not very good at lying."

"Aren't you good at lying?!"

"I'm just good at acting."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"Of course there is a difference. Acting is a science, but lying is a talent."

"It's getting further and further away...Forget it...I just want to ask you, what were you looking at these sixty cents just now?"

Le Yao looked down at the sixty cents again, looked at it for a long time, and then replied: "Last night, a friend and I talked about getting married... She and her boyfriend have been together for five years, and this year they finally There was a chance to achieve success, but the two of them were stuck on the issue of betrothal gifts... My friend's parents wanted to ask for more, but the husband felt that the burden of marriage was quite heavy and could not give so much... Many times of communication failed to produce any results. From now on, the relationship between the two has reached a precarious stage..."

I didn't feel any emotion, I just replied calmly: "This kind of thing is not surprising anymore... Just such a normal thing, what does it have to do with the sixty cents?"

"I was just thinking, if you are someone who truly loves each other, why would you care about such a small gift... If it were me, as long as you have the intention, what you are giving is a very important thing... Sixty cents is fine... Although It’s only sixty cents, but it lasts through a man’s childhood to adulthood… How thoughtful!”

"Who can't stand up and brag... When it comes to talking about marriage, if I really give you sixty cents, you should fall out."

"I'm not standing, I'm sitting now."

"You are bragging when you stand, but you start arguing with me when you sit down."

"Do you really not believe that there can be love in this world that has nothing to do with material things?"

"It's nonsense, extremely ridiculous!"

Le Yao looked at me with some frustration, and after a while she looked indifferent, and replied: "You will always live in the shadow that Jian Wei gave you... No one will care about you... I am too lazy No matter what... Anyway, your depravity is quite funny in my opinion..."

"Then let's play..."

"Just have fun."

After saying that, Le Yao handed her bottle of red wine to me and motioned for me to drink it; I refused, then handed her bottle of white wine to her and said, "Drink mine. If you don't have a corkscrew, open it." No, I don’t want to drink such troublesome wine.”

"I can't drink liquor, I get drunk very easily."

"It's good to be drunk. You don't have to worry endlessly. When you wake up, it's a new day."

After saying that, I unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip myself, and handed it to Le Yao...

Le Yao did not take it immediately. Instead, she picked up her own red wine and raised her hand to hit the stone bench beneath her with the mouth of the bottle. The mouth of the bottle suddenly shattered and spilled almost half of the red wine. However, she did not feel bad and handed it over happily. He gave it to me and said: "It's the Chinese New Year, but I still want to have a drink with you..."

I took it from her hand and clinked glasses with her, but looking at the ferocious gap, I didn’t know how to start my mouth...

Le Yao had already taken a big sip of white wine, and then suddenly stood up. When I raised my head and opened my mouth, he poured red wine into my mouth...

At first I thought it was forced, but due to my desire for wine, I quickly adapted to it... Half of the wine went into my mouth, and half of it splashed on my collar, and then went along the collar and into my clothes. flowing...

I was happy, and so was Le Yao. She giggled, and I looked at the world vaguely... The wind still blew, and there was still the sound of firecrackers in the distance. The world seemed very quiet. , and have been very happy. Between the movement and the movement, the figures of Le Yao and I gradually became frozen, frozen in the wind, frozen in the lights of thousands of homes on New Year's Eve... Although we did not have a New Year's Eve dinner or a family reunion, when we were with this When the night merges together, the whole world seems to belong to us...

The only pity is that I still can't forget Jian Wei who is far away in the United States, and I still hate love bound by the world and material things...

It turns out that except for my degradation, I have never changed.

……

Le Yao really couldn't drink too much white wine. After drinking one-third of a bottle of white wine, she fell drunk on the street. But I was sober because of the red wine I drank. I just supported her and walked along the street. This long street is looking for a hotel that can accommodate her.

Almost all the hotels were closed, and only the most expensive five-star hotel was still open. I stood outside and watched from a distance, feeling hesitant...

This hotel is usually very expensive. On New Year's Eve, when other hotels and hotels are closed, it will only become more expensive. If I want a room here, I will be very poor.

The old house I rented actually had two rooms...

However, deep down in my heart, I don’t want to take her there, because it is a world that belongs to me alone, where everything about me is stored, and I don’t want to be disturbed; just like, I feel that I will only fall in love with one woman, Jian Wei, in this life. They are all boundaries that cannot be crossed.

So, I no longer hesitated, just helped Le Yao into the hotel, and then spent 1,200 yuan to book a deluxe king-bed room for her.

Of course I didn't stay. I walked several streets and finally found a dumpling shop that was still open. I ordered two portions, ate one myself and packed one away.

I returned to the hotel and wrote a note asking her to heat up the dumplings in the hotel microwave when she woke up.

In the end, I didn't choose to stay.

I went to the moat again, smoking alone and thinking about Jian Wei, who was thousands of miles away.

It's the new year soon, is everything okay with her?

Do you have someone to keep you company?
