Ming Suzhou's departure hid everyone. The phone card was broken and thrown into the trash can before he got on the plane. He wanted to cut off contact with everything in this city. After all, those memories were too painful for him. up.

He has already announced his withdrawal from the entertainment circle, but that face is too dazzling in the crowd of passers-by. Ming Suzhou has wrapped himself up tightly, afraid that he will suddenly be exposed to the cameras now.But he was lucky, it was the end of the year when he left, and the cold air in the deep winter made many people at the airport have the same attire as him.

Ming Suzhou didn't think about where he was going. He left too hastily. In fact, he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface. Everything that happened in the past year was too painful. He felt that he was really in this city. What's more, he couldn't stay any longer, and he wanted to leave urgently.

In the end, he chose a coastal city, because he remembered that Guan Zhihe had promised to take him to see the sea when he was a child, and he had waited for many years but his mother did not fulfill the promise.But fortunately, he has grown up, and he has learned not to pin his hopes on others, and he can fight for what he wants by himself.

Ming Suzhou pulled his small suitcase through the streets and alleys of the city, and came to the small town closest to the sea at the edge of the map.The town has a name, Guanhai Town. When Ming Suzhou took the suitcase off the bus, he felt the salty sea breeze brushing against his temples.

It was almost the Chinese New Year at that time, and Guanhai Town had a strong New Year flavor. Perhaps because it was far away from the city, the sound of firecrackers could occasionally be heard here.The children secretly took out the New Year's cannons and gathered together in groups of three or four to play. When the Mingsu boat passed by, the children who were afraid of giving birth broke up again, only dared to hide behind their own door and quietly looked at the stranger.

Ming Suzhou was a little worried. He knew that if he wanted to live this year well, he had to have a place to live in. Guanhai Town was not big, and it could even be said to be remote. Tourist attractions, a large number of tourists flooded in during the Chinese New Year, and now it is a bit late to book a hotel.

He sat on the bus for nearly five hours, bumping all the way to get here. It was already dark when he got off the bus. Ming Suzhou’s face was sore from the sea breeze. He hammered his sore lower back.

If he couldn't find a place to stay, he might really be sleeping on the streets tonight.

Thinking of this, Ming Suzhou suddenly lowered his head and laughed, thinking that he might be the worst film king after retiring from the industry, but he has ended up in such a situation. If he is photographed by some paparazzi, he will probably be bought by his opponent again. Fan laughed.

The children who sneaked out to set off firecrackers were called home for dinner, and the long bluestone path suddenly became quiet, and the fiery red lanterns were hung under the eaves early on, swaying slowly by the night wind.

Ming Suzhou's small suitcase was lying alone at his feet. He stood in the middle of the road and looked up at the end of the road in a daze. For a moment, he didn't know where he should go. There seemed to be no place for him to stay.

Just like his name, half of his life was like falling on a small boat, drifting with the river, nowhere to take root, and unable to dock.

Ming Suzhou took a deep breath into the palms of his hands, and rubbed them vigorously to get some warmth from them. No matter what, the problem of tonight's accommodation must be resolved first.He likes this small town, and if possible, he also wants to live here for a long time, maybe owning a small house by the sea sounds like a very good thing.

He walked along the path, it seemed to be a coincidence, or maybe it was God's will. Ming Suzhou raised his head inadvertently, wanting to see the rows of lanterns hanging under the eaves, and suddenly saw a coffee shop still open Door.The light is warm orange, which is undoubtedly a kind of temptation in the cold winter night.

Ming Suzhou had already stiffened his limbs from the cold, and at this moment he was longing for a cup of hot cocoa to warm his body. He opened the door with his suitcase in hand, and the aroma of coffee beans hit his face, which made him breathe a sigh of relief .

The coffee shop is very big, but the bar only occupies a corner. It is more like a studio, because the walls are hung with large and small oil paintings, including landscapes, figures, and flowers, but the most common thing is the sea, which is clear and blue. ocean.

Ming Suzhou looked up at these paintings. He had studied painting for a period of time when he was a child, and he was also very interested in it. But then something happened to his family, and Guan Zhihe pulled him away. It is already very good to be able to barely meet food and clothing. There is no ability to support these hobbies that burn money.

At this time, he was suddenly attracted by a painting. The painting was placed on the ground against the wall, and it still smelled of paint. The painting on it was still the sea, the sea under the setting sun.The sea water is dyed layer upon layer of light pink, misty purple, orange yellow by the sunset, but it still turns into dark blue in the end.

The picture is calm, and there are no disturbing seagulls. Ming Suzhou can even hear the sound of waves sweeping the beach and beating rocks in his ears. He involuntarily stretches out his hand, wanting to touch the sea in the painting. Is it as cold as he imagined?

"The paint is still wet, don't touch it."

The man suddenly poked his head out from behind the bar, put a cup of coffee on the table, and gently pushed towards Ming Suzhou.

"Hands are red from the cold, I think you should really want to order a cup of hot cocoa now."

"Excuse me!"

Like a child who caused havoc in class but was suddenly called by the teacher, Ming Suzhou showed a rare panic. He stood up suddenly from the ground, but because he got up too fast, his eyes turned black, and his body couldn't help shaking .

"Are you OK?"

The man looked at him suspiciously, hesitating whether to come out and help him.

"I'm fine..." Ming Suzhou held the bar with his hand, his face turned pale, "I got up in a hurry."

He was holding hot cocoa in both hands, and the sweet mist melted the frost and snow that fell on his eyebrows and eyes. Ming Suzhou looked up at the owner of the coffee shop. He originally thought that a person who could draw such a work should not Such a young man.

The heater in the coffee shop was well turned on, the boss only wore a simple T-shirt and trousers, the cotton T-shirt was rolled up to the elbows, revealing fierce and beautiful flower arms.He has deep eyebrows, half-length black hair is tied into a small braid behind his head, and a strand of hair in front of his forehead hangs down on the tip of his nose, inexplicably adding a bit of the absurd beauty of a wandering artist.With a camel apron around his waist, he was carefully wiping the glass in his hand, looking as serious as he was outlining the eyelashes of a beauty in an oil painting.

"I know you."

The man raised his eyes suddenly, just in time to meet the sight that Ming Suzhou cast on him. He turned his body sideways, revealing the ipad that was blocked behind, and what was playing in it was a work that Ming Suzhou participated in two years ago. .

The man curled the corner of his mouth slightly, and pulled out a casual smile, "For the sake of the good movie of yours, I'll give you a free order for this drink."

Ming Suzhou took off his scarf, and his fingertips were stained with a touch of pink by the temperature of the hot cocoa. He didn't panic at all when his identity was discovered. After hot cocoa, he looked up and chuckled.

"I can sign it for you, but I'm not sure if I can sell it now."

The man paused the movie that was playing on the ipad, and the screen just stayed on Ming Suzhou's face. This was his last scene in the movie. He was seriously injured, with tears in his eyes.

He put the cleaned glass back on the bar, sat on the swivel chair and smiled at Ming Suzhou, with a lazy gesture as if he was chatting, "I've always wanted to know, when you actors cry, you think what?"

Few people would ask him this kind of question, the media would ask about his private life, fans would ask if he had a good rest, Rong Yue...

Forget it.

Ming Suzhou frowned and thought about it carefully. After thinking for a long time, he answered, "I don't know about others. It's relatively easy for me to film crying scenes by myself. I can shed tears without thinking about anything."

After he finished speaking, the man raised his eyebrows in surprise, stared at him for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Fortunately, you don't take pictures anymore. If you keep crying, how sad it would be."

Seeing that Ming Suzhou was silent, he naturally changed the subject, "It's almost Chinese New Year and you come here, are you here for a trip?"

Only then did Ming Suzhou raise his eyes again, and shook his head, "I want to be alone for a while, I haven't figured out when to go back yet."

The man nodded, "Oh", and picked up a glass to wipe again, "The hotel must be very expensive."

This is where Ming Suzhou has a headache, he smiled and shook his head, "I came out too hastily, the nearby hotels and homestays are all booked, and I can't find a place to rest, I might end up on the street tonight."

The man's hand for wiping the glass paused suddenly, and he whistled leisurely. He folded his arms and placed it on the bar counter. The man suddenly approached and filled the half-empty glass in front of Ming Suzhou with cocoa.

"Maybe I can give you a suggestion."

Ming Suzhou took a sip of hot cocoa, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "Let's listen."

The man pointed to the ceiling, and snapped his fingers next to Ming Suzhou's ear, "There are three rooms upstairs, one is my studio, one is my bedroom, and the other is rented out. The customer just moved out last month, and the rental advertisement will be released after preparation. The room faces south, and you can see the sea from Yuxidu’s house when you open the window. The landlord is honest and will not disturb you. Are you interested in renting my sea view room, sir star?"

Ming Suzhou lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Is it so easy for you to find tenants, great painter?"

The man laughed heartily, waking up a Shiba Inu sleeping on the cotton pad. It tilted its head to look at its owner, as if it didn't understand what he was laughing at.The man tossed it two pieces of dog food, and after comforting it, he explained to Ming Suzhou, "I just watched a movie of yours, so I'm an acquaintance. Is this casual?"

The man brushed the broken hair from his forehead behind his ears, and stretched out his hand to Ming Suzhou, "Huo Ting, nice to meet you."
