A Blind Date Guide

???? Knowing that Meng Yi was watching the live broadcast, Zhou Lin became excited all of a sudden, and even went crazy.

???? He passionately shouted into the microphone: "I won't play games tonight, let me sing a few songs for everyone!"

???? The public screen immediately applauded and presented flowers one after another.

???? But Meng Yi, who is more than 2000 kilometers away, was different. When he heard the word "singing", his body shivered subconsciously.

???? At that moment, the memory of a certain late night suddenly flooded back. Meng glanced quickly and calmly exited the live broadcast room.

???? Zhou Lin sang Jay Chou all night, but Meng Yiyi didn't hear it.

???? Meng Yi turned off the computer and went to bed early to rest.

???? But it was still early, and Meng Yi was not sleepy. He lay on his back on the hard wooden bed, staring at the old beams in a daze.

???? In a blink of an eye, he has been back for more than a month. During this time, he has been living in the old house of his grandmother. Meng Yi spent the first 25 years of his life here. remember.

????The old house was a public housing decades ago, and there were a dozen households around it, all of whom lived in low-income elderly like Grandma Meng.

???? Although these houses are dilapidated and old, they are located in a very good location, close to the city center, and they can be regarded as an urban village here.A few years ago, this place was identified as a dilapidated building, and a big "demolition" character was drawn on the wall, but the demolition team still hasn't arrived after so long.

???? When Meng Yi came back this time, at first he felt the same as when he left, but later found out that everything around him had quietly changed unconsciously.

????The older neighbors passed away one after another, and the younger generation moved and left. Now, at a glance, there are almost no people in sight.

???? The first few days when Meng Yi came back was quite busy. He cleaned the house that had not been lived in for more than two years, sorted out grandma’s belongings, and didn’t have much time to pay attention to other things. Suddenly feel very deserted.

???? It was so deserted that even a person like Meng Yi who liked to be alone could not stand it.

???? Meng Yi wanted to talk to someone, so he took advantage of yesterday's weekend to invite two of his best-connected male classmates out for dinner.

???? We haven't seen each other for several years. There are many topics to talk about, from work to sports, and from sports to family.

????During the chat, Meng Yicai learned that the two classmates were already married, and one of them even had a baby.

???? Meng Yi repeatedly said congratulations.

The classmate asked Meng Yi: "What about you, when will you get married?"

???? Meng Yi shook his head: "I don't have a date yet, I've been on blind dates."

???? The classmates were envious: "It's better not to get married, freedom!"

???? Meng Yi smiled and didn't speak.

???? After dinner, the three of them wanted to find a place to chat for a while, but one of them received a call and was called home to bring the baby, and the other was called by his wife to go shopping.

???? Meng Yi had to say goodbye to them both, and walked back silently.

???? At that time, it was getting late, and the sensor-type street lights on the side of the road automatically turned on, illuminating the way home for Meng Yi.

???? There is no nightlife in the small city at night, most of the stores are closed, and the road is quiet.I happened to pass by an open-air barbecue stand, and the style of painting changed suddenly. A group of northern men were shirtless, drinking and eating skewers under the night. There was a lot of people talking, and Meng Yi unconsciously stopped to take a second look.

???? He suddenly recalled the time when he went to barbecue with Zhou Lin. He Ye and the others had been taught a lesson during the day. Zhou Lin, who had not washed his tattoos, was sitting opposite him, with a serious expression on his face. beef skewer.

???? Thinking about it, Meng Yi stood on the side of the road and smiled foolishly.

???? He suddenly missed the busy streets, the bus stops where people came and went, and even the tea restaurant where he met Zhou Lin for the first time.

???? In this small city in the north, it is rare to see such an authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, Meng Yi thought.

???? Meng Yi didn't know what was wrong with him, whether he had stayed in the big city for too long, and he became a little impetuous, and he started thinking about the noisy and busy life not long after he left.

???? This is not good.

???? Meng Yi's thoughts were a little messy. He sat up from the bed, returned to the computer and picked up the drawing board, intending to draw something to calm down.

???? He conceived several scenes in his mind, but he was not very satisfied. In the end, he simply drew a picture of the street scene he saw last night, and named it "Old City Barbecue Stall ".

???? Meng Yi hasn't created anything new for a long time. After finishing the painting, he felt pretty good about himself, so he posted it on Moments.

???? Within a few minutes of posting, the first like popped up from the Moments, and the person who liked it was called "Li Lei".

???? A few seconds later, Meng Yi received a WeChat message from Li Lei, saying, "Long time no see, Junior Brother."

???? Li Lei is a brother of the same major in Mengyi University, two grades higher than him.

???? At that time in school, the relationship between the two was quite good, and they would often discuss works together. After graduation, the senior brother also enthusiastically recommended jobs for Meng Yi.

???? It was just that Meng Yi was admitted to the education system beyond everyone's expectations. Naturally, the communication between him and his senior brothers gradually decreased due to different industries. After that, there was no contact for several years.

???? Meng Yi was very surprised at this moment, he didn't expect the other party to find him suddenly, and politely replied: "Brother, good evening."

???? After exchanging a few pleasantries between the seniors, Senior Brother Li asked straight to the point: "Are you still an art teacher at school?"

???? Meng Yi said honestly: "I have already resigned."

????The brother asked: "Why?"

????Mengyi gave a brief introduction to the family situation, and then said: "Actually, I am not very suitable to be a teacher. I like painting, but I don't like teaching. I chose this profession to have time to take care of my grandma. .”

???? The brother said with emotion: "Yes, I told you back then, with your talent, it is too bad to be an art teacher in middle school."

????The brother asked again: "Then are you still drawing manga?"

???? Meng Yi said: "Well, I sometimes draw for fun on Weibo."

???? The brother said: "That's great, I have opened a comic studio by myself now, do you want to come over and help?"

???? Meng Yi asked: "Where is it?"

????The brother sent a location to Meng Yi, Meng Yi was slightly taken aback when he saw it, and said, "Let me think about it."

???? The invitation proposed by Senior Brother Li really moved Meng Yi's heart.

????Manga has always been a career that Meng Yi loves. It was not possible to realize it due to practical reasons in the past, but now I just have such an opportunity, which is really rare.

???? But Meng Yi still can't make up his mind. Since he has decided to return to this city, he just wants to spend the rest of his life here in peace and stability. Is it worth leaving again for this reason?

???? Meng Yi hesitantly exited the chat box with Senior Brother Li. At this time, there was another reminder in the circle of friends. Meng Yidian opened it and found that under the painting he just made, there were two more comments from Zhou Lin.

????The first article: "The painting is really good."

???? Article [-]: "Do I still have a chance to have a barbecue with you?"

???? Meng Yi stared at the second comment for a long time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a voice only he could hear: "Yes.
