my coward

The stars are like broken diamonds, the moonlight is like pillars, and the night bus breaks through the darkness and gallops on the road.The dim yellow lights passing by the roadside illuminated the faces of tired passengers, including Zhuo Guangyao.He only made the decision today, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his friends on the island, so he got on the bus to T City directly.That bustling city used to be a place he couldn't avoid, but he wanted an answer so badly that he wanted to fight for a different ending. It didn't make sense that the people he cared about could choose not to have him every time.

Su Mi probably didn't know that on that night that made him flustered, he also looked through the wallet of the "hooligan" out of curiosity. Apart from a few banknotes, there were also a few business cards.Let him know clearly that the "rogue" is a serious company, a foreign trade company?In his view, it is a leather bag company that buys and sells.The office of this leather bag company is also set up in T City, which he is most familiar with and most repulsed by.

"He should want to see me..." Zhuo Guangyao was anxious and uncertain, and what supported him throughout the whole process was the last sentence of the text message: I don't want to say goodbye to you.Just seven words have been rolled in his heart countless times, and they have become the comfort of this journey, accompanying him to sleep tonight.

The vibration of the air brake completely awakened Zhuo Guangyao from his restless sleep, and the rising sun like salted egg yolk was already dutifully hanging in the sky.Passengers took care of packing and preparing their luggage, and their tired and sluggish faces showed a sense of ease at the end of the journey.

Zhuo Guangyao got out of the car with his only luggage, and took a taxi straight to Su Mi's "leather bag company".On the way, he kept rehearsing the facial expressions he should put on when they met, and muttered the lines when he "encountered by chance", which made the taxi driver terrified, thinking he had escaped from a mental hospital.

The taxi stopped slowly, Zhuo Guangyao lowered his head to pay for the money, and suddenly caught sight of a handsome young man, wearing a dark blue windbreaker and a light purple thin sweater, such a picky color did not disobey him Sensation may be the reason for the natural hanger.

"Su Mi!" Zhuo Guangyao shouted his name excitedly in the car, even he himself was surprised by the uncontrollable ecstasy in his heart.

The young man looked in his direction, Zhuo Guangyao knew that in the closed car, it was impossible for him to hear what he yelled just now, could it be the legendary sympathy?Thinking of this possibility, Zhuo Guangyao felt complacent.The moment he was about to get out of the car, a red figure floated past the car door, flying towards the young man like a butterfly, grabbing his arm without hesitation, swaying coquettishly, with a sweet and greasy voice unique to women Zhuo Guangyao heard it: "Xiao Bibi, look at me! How is today?" He turned around immediately after speaking.

The young man replied in an extremely doting tone: "My little Swallow has always been the prettiest in the world."

"It's so fake! But I like it so much! Mommy bought this coat for me. I used to wear it very loosely, but now it's too tight. I must have gained weight. If this continues, I will really become a little fat pig." " The girl made a face at him, "Xiao Bibi, your wife is going to become a fat pig. Just say, are you afraid? Are you afraid!"

The young man smiled, "I heard that the fat girl is Wang, Husband."

Hearing what he said, the girl giggled, happy like a little angel.

Zhuo Guangyao stared at this scene obsessively, and the hand holding the car door trembled a little.The taxi driver observed his reaction from the rearview mirror, his eyes were filled with the understanding of those who had passed by, and he did not rush the frustrated passenger during the long waiting time.

"Brother, our city has a lot of food, drink, and fun. If you don't mind, let me recommend a few places for you?"

"Okay, okay."

Zhuo Guangyao was caught off guard by being killed at this time, and he was at a loss as to how to get through the day.The suggestion made by the driver was a timely help for him.

On the speeding express train, the driver changed his previous silence and became eloquent, "People here tend to taste salty and spicy, can my brother eat spicy food? If you can't, I will tell you a secret recipe and prepare more Peanuts. Believe me, chew a few peanuts quickly if you find it too spicy. It works! By the way, there are several commercial streets here. Young people of my age value brands, so they must go Yes, those are all big brands! Hey! Those of us who are old enough to support our families don’t dare to go to see them. The price~ It hurts to look at them~ Let’s just talk about the jewelry brand, what is it called... what is it called? The one that starts with M..."

"MISS YOU."

"Yes! That's the name. Sure enough, you young people are educated. People of our age don't know a few English words. It knows me, but I don't know it. Haha! That brand, the store is very big, Every commercial street has them! The store occupies half of the street! As soon as you enter the door, so many jewels flash in front of you, you can’t even see it! The boss is rich! Really rich! He is proud!"

The driver talked more and more vigorously. If it weren't for his hands not being able to leave the steering wheel, he would definitely be able to dance and exaggerate the atmosphere now.

"I heard that their boss is a woman, a heroine! Have courage!"

The driver raised his thumbs up and made a "beautiful" gesture.

"Well, it is indeed a woman."

"Oh~ you know it too! Sure enough, young people know a lot."

Zhuo Guangyao smiled wryly, could he not know?It was his mother after all.How long has he not seen his mother, and thinking about it now, even his face seems blurred.

The driver didn't know that he had hired a rich second generation, and he was still talking about the gossip he heard.

"If you ask me, it's meaningless to have so much money. Think about it, money doesn't come from the wind, it also has to work hard to earn it. When you are young, you overdraw your energy. When you are old, you will not It feels better. Let’s talk about the female boss who makes jewelry. I heard that she was lying in the hospital again recently. It’s boring, I’m paying for my life!”

Zhuo Guangyao didn't answer, he was secretly surprised.How could a mother who was like General Tie in my impression end up in the hospital?are you sick?He got no news at all.

That night, Zhuo Guangyao stayed in the small hotel recommended by the driver, and Zhuo Guangyao was in a mess.On the island, he was only depressed, but the first day he returned to T City made his heart ache.Su Mi's betrayal, mother's illness, bad news came one after another.He began to regret his decision to come out.

Being mentally fragile, he didn't sleep all night, and got up early the next day. He found out that the hotel didn't serve breakfast, so he had no choice but to go to a nearby stall to buy some breakfast to fill his stomach.While walking in the streets and alleys, he also found that the city was not the same as he remembered. Many small shops in the streets had been remodeled, the familiar buildings were replaced by more modern ones, and the faded billboards were replaced by huge LED LCDs. The screen is replaced, the road is full of traffic, and pedestrians are in a hurry.Everything is being pushed forward by invisible hands, and everyone is running around for life, so there is no time to recall the past feelings.He, who is used to being loose on the small island, is about to be ruthlessly abandoned by this city.

When he was in middle school, he often tricked the housekeeper, secretly went to the breakfast shop near the school to buy egg drop soup, and served it with a vegetable pancake, which would make him feel better all day.I searched along the route I remembered, and sure enough, there was no trace of that shop, and the run-down and greasy breakfast shop was replaced by a stylishly decorated boutique women's clothing store.Zhuo Guangyao had completely lost the mood to have breakfast, and walked back to the hotel step by step in despair.From a distance, I saw the proprietress of the hotel guarding the door, looking around as if expecting someone.When Zhuo Guangyao walked in, the proprietress's eyes lit up tremblingly. She changed from yesterday's loose style and became extremely enthusiastic. She reminded him to add clothes and prepared breakfast for him. Her rich face was full of smiles. bloomed.When she was about to pull his arm up affectionately, Zhuo Guangyao quickly moved aside, a layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared on his arm.

When he was about to suspect that people would take a fancy to his appearance, he met his sister.

His sister, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was now slim and tall, standing there arrogantly, out of place in this humble little hotel.

"Brother, long time no see."

It should be the age of a girl, but she has a cold and clear voice that doesn't match.Zhuo Guangyao thought, that's obviously not the case when she talks to others.The young girl's face is firm and fair in line with her age, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, chubby red lips, and a deliberate upbringing. Every move shows that she has a good background.

"Yaohua."
