Eight Days and Seven Nights of Xiang Daughter’s Many Loves (IV)

Give you a cup made of years, what kind of stories would you fill it with? Give you a cigarette made of youth, how would you let it burn to ashes in the wind? Give you a heart that jumps bright red, can you guarantee it will never stop in the future? Give you my life in the beginning, and you will treat it as nothing more than a robbery in a game of chess.

I opened my eyes and felt extraordinarily awake, as if nothing had happened, it was always the same feeling these days, like I was dreaming at night, and in the morning I couldn’t think much about yesterday’s events when I thought back on them.

Liu Fang slept on one bed, the other bed was empty, I think this is a little bit of memory with last night, looked at the watch, almost eleven o’clock, I climbed up, went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, came out and turned on the TV, ready to wake up Liu Fang, I was very curious about where the three of them went last night.

Many channels do not have programs in the morning, I took the remote control, one by one to change the station, suddenly stopped, Hunan TV channel, Leng Jia is smiling host program. Leng Jia looked less pretty on TV than in life. The program she hosted was called “Big Mouth Eating Four Square”, and surprisingly, there was also an introduction of the outside of the dry-pot restaurant we ate at. Leng Jia was sitting in the restaurant, introducing the various ways of eating with great interest, and then the boss’s wife came out to introduce the specialties, saying that there would be yak meat next week, and everyone was welcome to come and taste it, and then I don’t know where the editors had cut a few shots from. On the grassland, countless yak brothers running to and fro, looking at me puzzled.

I picked up the phone and called Suya’s house and asked about last night: “Did we both stay last night? You can be responsible ah.” I heard her answering the phone in a sober voice, should have gotten up, and joked with her.

“Forget you, I want you to be responsible!” Suya scolded with a laugh.

“Seriously, when I got up after three, it looked like we were the only two in the room, what’s going on?”

“Leng Jia’s original boyfriend from Guangzhou came to Changsha, so Leng Jia went to see him and Liu Fang sent her there.”

“Didn’t they break up?”

“It’s a breakup, but it’s still a friend, so I’m sure we’ll have to meet in Changsha.”

I was silent for a while and then asked, “What about Li Ho?”

“The three of them left together, as if they sent Leng Jia first, right, Liu Fang and Li He went where to sit for a while, I’m not sure, Liu Fang came back at six in the morning, I woke up and went home to sleep.”

“Really?” I found it more and more interesting: “Where did they go to sit alone at that late hour?”

“How the fuck should I know, just ask Liu Fang.” Suya thinks I’m annoying, asking about things that don’t concern her.

“So are you coming over for lunch after noon?”

“I can ah, you call and ask Leng Jia if she’s available, she’s at home.”

Liu Fang is woken up by the TV and looks at Leng Jia on the screen in surprise. The program has changed and Leng Jia is introducing the new tourist attraction “Window of the World” in Changsha with another host.

“You came back after six?” I asked Liu Fang as I lazily lit a cigarette.

“Almost, after you fell asleep Leng Jia answered a phone call, her boyfriend from Guangzhou came, Li He and I sent her over, then Li He was in a bad mood and wanted to go drinking, the two of us went to the bar again and sat for a while, and in the morning I came back to Suya and left.”

“You didn’t say anything about me to Liho, did you?”

“No, not much talk about you, but said a moment Leng Jia,” Liu Fang smiled and looked at the TV: “This job is not bad, everywhere to cheat food and drink.”

“What’s the arrangement for today?” Liu Fang asked me as he dressed.

“I don’t know,” I laughed: “Play anything, or go to the suburbs, the city is not much fun, Suya told us to give Leng Jia a call, you call, attitude.”

I got up and got dressed, and Liu Fang called Leng Jia and told her we were watching her on TV and asked if she had time to go with us this afternoon.

Liu Fang hung up the phone and I asked him how it went, “She said it was okay and asked if we wanted to go to a resort to play tennis or go to the countryside?”

“It’s okay,” I was happy: “It’s all okay, we’re not coming back to stay tonight, so why don’t we just check out of the room?”

We hurriedly packed our things and prepared to check out, I looked at my watch, it was already twelve o’clock, so I called the front desk and said we would check out right away, we might be ten minutes late, the lady at the front desk said it was no problem, and I thought her voice was a little familiar.

We packed up our things, I wore a sportswear and newly bought tennis shoes, went downstairs to pay the bill, Liu Fang used his credit card to pay the bill, I stood beside and looked at the receptionist lady at the service desk, sure enough, it was the one I met when I was shopping that day, it was very bright, I could clearly see that she was quite pretty, fresh and sweet, although she was wearing the hotel’s uniforms, she still showed a well-proportioned and firm figure, she was also looking at me, and when she met my gaze, both of us were a little embarrassed. She was also looking at me, and when she met my gaze, we were both a little embarrassed.

“Remember me?” I asked Liu Fang in a low voice when I saw her over there checking out with the cashier with no one at her side.

“Well, is it to ask for money?”

“No,” I couldn’t help but laugh, “it’s to go.”

“Leaving so soon, going back to Shenzhen?”

“No, went to Shaoshan for a visit and back.” I wondered if she knew where we were coming from, and on second thought, she probably read the check-in sheet when we checked in.

“Are you still staying here when you come back?” She asked me in a low voice, and given the nature of her job, where she receives guests every day, she shouldn’t be this shy when it comes to treating people.

“Maybe.” I looked at her beautiful face, I feel a little confused, can not help themselves, born horny, when can I change it! I knew that I was looking a bit shy now, like a big, healthy boy, with an adoring but timid glint in my eyes, giving the other person a sense of security… the highest level of “natural lust”.

I pretended to be waiting for Liu Fang, and stood by the counter for a while, and saw that the work card on her chest had a work number printed on it, as well as the word “Wu Yu”, which I thought should be her name.

“Wu Yu.” I read softly.

“Yeah, Wu Yu.” She said as she saw my eyes looking right at her work card.

“That bowl of instant noodles you ate cost over forty dollars.” Liu Fang looked at the bill typed out by the computer and shouted at me from over there.

“Really?” I lifted the bag on the ground and walked over: “I said why is it so bad, so it’s cheap.”

We settled the bill, put our luggage on the sofa at the entrance to the lobby, and stood at the door waiting for Suya and Leng Jia to come over. Liu Fang also found the girl at the main desk to be very pretty and gestured to me.

“It’s pretty good,” I discussed with Liu Fang, “Can you think of a way to get her contact number?”

“I’ll try.” Liu Fang walked over.

I watched Liu Fang walked over, talking to the girl, and took out the paper to gesture something, the girl smiled and shook her head, I stood for a while, bored, turned to the back of the sofa, through the large glass bed to look at the street outside, the sky is cloudy, there is no rain, from time to time, there is a wind that rolls up the leaves on the ground, flipping and drifting, some of the meaning of the depression, pedestrians in a hurry, I did not think that the day will be cooler in a moment, the hotel can not hear the outside of the sound, in front of me as if it were a flowing mural.

Liu Fang walked back, “How was it?” I asked him, pretending to be indifferent.

“Called Wu Yu.”

“Yeah?” I laughed: “Where’s the phone number?”

“She doesn’t have a cell phone, and neither does a beeper.” Liu Fang shook his head.

“What did you tell her?” I’ve known Liu Fang for so long that I don’t really know what kind of path he took when he was “born knocked up”, so I’m a little curious.

“I want to go over directly with her to ask for the phone number is certainly not good, I asked her first, Changsha has what fun, she said Yuelu Mountain or something, I said we have just been, and then I asked her Changsha has a fortune teller did not, she said there, tell me a, I took a pen and paper to let her put the fortune teller’s phone number written down.” Liu Fang handed me the piece of paper.

I looked at it, and it said “Fortune Teller” and “Wu Yu”, and underneath it said “Phone?” I couldn’t help but laugh.

“And then what?” I asked.

“Then she said the fortune teller didn’t have a phone.”

I looked at Liu Fang and really wanted to hug him with my feet.

We walked out the front door of the hotel and the coolness greeted us, I grabbed a coat out and put it on, took a deep breath and felt refreshed, I asked the doorman for the switchboard number of the Zhongtian, took a few steps away and called on my cell phone.

“Front desk, please.” I whispered to the switchboard operator lady.

“Hello, Reception.” I could hear that it was Wu Yu’s voice.

“Hello, Wu Yu?”

“Yes.”

“I’m the guest who just checked out, the one who… bought cigarettes last time.” I tried.

“I know, hello.” Her tone was polite; was she simply defenseless, or was she sophisticated and unmoving?

“Busy now?”

“Okay, where are you guys, the lobby?”

“We’ve come out, we’re waiting for the car at the entrance, I want to discuss something with you…” I was about to go on, when she suddenly interrupted me: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, just wait a minute, there’s a guest who wants a room.”

I stopped talking, waiting for her to deal with official business, the sun finally showed up, it does not feel as cold as when I first came out, I put the cell phone to my ear, slowly walking in the direction of the door, and suddenly I heard “beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Is it a cell phone signal problem, or she politely hung up? I was lost, hesitated for a while, did not call again.

Leng Jia and Su Ya arrived almost at the same time, “In gouge female ah? The two handsome guys are dressed so beautifully.”

Sua said with a smile.

“No, no,” I explained hastily, “we’re making a movie.”

“Really, what role?” Leng Jia asked.

“Roadrunner and Roadrunner.”

“I think it’s just Bandit Soldier A and Bandit Soldier B.” Leng Jia said inwardly.

“Actually, we just want to pretend to be locals, you know, it’s not good to be too detached from the masses, so we can’t always tell we’re from out of town, right?”

“Can,” Sua looked at us seriously: “how can we tell it’s an outsider.”

“Not really, we’re from the big city too.”

We talked and walked from the Martyrs Park door to the left a few dozen meters, to a Hunan restaurant called “Dihao”, the second day of the National Day holiday, the street is still a lot of people, the row of restaurants are full of people, we could not find a seat on the street to sit down, and casually ordered a few dishes.

A few of us were a little hungry, and when the food came up, no one said much, and I didn’t ask for a drink, and stuffed my face, and ate about as much as I could, before we all looked up and smiled at each other.

“That’s happiness, I guess, the simpler kind.” I said as I poured myself a cup of tea and rubbed my stomach in satisfaction.

“Can we get a discount for this meal as well?” Liu Fang asked Leng Jia.

Leng Jia nodded.

“That’s great,” I exclaimed heartily, “I didn’t realize you were still a minor celebrity in Changsha.”

“Aka diner celebrities.” Leng Jia said modestly.

“That’s good enough,” I said, “Food is the only thing that matters to people. By the way, you’re pretty good on TV, you’ve got a lot of style.”

“Yes?” Leng Jia laughed, her eyes darting to me : “Don’t you tease me.”

“Meaty.” Sua made a vomit on the side.

“Don’t the people even have the right to tell the truth?” I persevered: “Am I Han Jiang to praise people casually?”

“Ignore him, that’s just how he is, praise and self-praise is our company’s watchword in marketing.”

Liu Fang leaked me out.

“That’s true,” I said squarely: “Sometimes in the market to meet a particularly annoying customers, particularly annoying him, I force myself to praise him, play hard to praise him, praise until he is embarrassed.”

“Oh, so you’re complimenting me because you hate me?” Leng Jia made a very disappointed expression.

“No, I don’t hate you, I like you a lot.” I said with a straight face.

“Don’t mess with me, you’ll be responsible if you make me fall in love with you.” She’s straighter than I am.

We joked around some more, and after checking out, we went to Leng Jia’s house to drop off our bags, her house is right next to it, and we talked and walked, and neither of them mentioned Li He, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding, but I didn’t think it mattered.

“Leng Jia, is that dog still at your house?” I suddenly remembered that I came to Leng Jia’s house once with Li He four years ago, and there was a white pug that loved to bark furiously towards the stranger.

“In ah, already six years old,” Leng Jia said with a smile: “It is a real old virgin.”

When I entered the door, I really saw the dog, a very purebred Beijing pug, barking and barking, with a big temper, we avoided it and went into the living room, Leng Jia’s mother was at home, and already didn’t remember me, Leng Jia went to her room to change her clothes, and we sat in the living room and chatted politely with her mother for a while.

Leng Jia changed clothes, and called us to her room to see her sister’s wedding photos, I’ve seen her sister, Leng Jia in Guangzhou when I once came to Changsha, when Li Huo also and her sister in the outside co-habitation together, we had a meal together.

We left our bags at Leng Jia’s house with just a few clothes and tennis racquets and headed out to take a cab, it was cool and refreshing and I loved it.

Silver Island Resort is in the west of the river, about half an hour to get there, but once inside, the inside is cold and quiet, but there are tennis courts and swimming pools and other facilities, but there are not many people playing, and we thought it was not the same at all.

We did not get off, discussed for a while, think this is not fun, want to change the place, Leng Jia to her friends to call, ask for fun places, and finally asked a place called “dream water town”, in the highway next to Liuyang.

“Isn’t there a resort called ‘Shennong Villa’?” Liu Fang asked, possibly remembering what Zheng Fei had said.

“Yeah, I heard that’s okay, but you have to book in advance, how do you know about this place? A bunch of my friends just went to play.” Leng Jia asked.

“We heard it from Zheng Fei, she invited us to go with her, then we didn’t go.” I thought of Zheng Fei and felt a little embarrassed, she was quite nice to us.

We and the driver to talk about the price, the driver to see this situation on the way to increase the price, I did not care, not just a few dozen dollars more Well, out to play is to spend money.

We are sitting in the Xiali, the car is very small, Liu Fang sat in front, the three of us sat in the back, Suya had to let me sit in the middle of the two of them, I hugged the tennis racket, and the two of them crowded together, Suya is nothing, sometimes the car turns Leng Jia will be leaning on me, making me feel uneasy.

I am used to seeing the crowded and complicated city, I think the road scenery is beautiful, outside the window is a large piece of green, the deep green of the distant mountains and the light green of the fields are clearly differentiated, and I can not see any people in the distance, I silently watched everything that flew by, and there is a very quiet feeling in my heart.

I love speed and I used to fly cars when I was in Shenzhen. I would feel very quiet in my heart during high-speed movements, and the same is true for life. Only constant changes and wanderings would make me feel normal.

Maybe they slept too little last night, the three of them were groggy in the car, I turned my head sideways and looked at Leng Jia who was sleeping soundly against my shoulder, wondering if she liked me or not, maybe a little?

The car at the highway intersection in a circle, on the side road, and after a while, the eyes gully open, is a very large lake, the water ripples, the mountain color peaceful, surrounded by farms, just like the scenery in the painting.

We excitedly jumped out of the car, can not see the parking lot and the gate, the distant boat dock that clanking with workers in some kind of project, our heart cooled down half, go in and ask really is not yet completed, until the end of the year to open.

Liu Fang they went to the toilet, I stood at the lake, breathing fresh moist air, Leng Jia feel a little cold, and I asked for a piece of clothing to put on, I was bored from the ground to pick up stones, playing “water drift” on the lake, I remember that I used to be able to play five, six, but now it can not be, “wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, color is a steel knife to scrape the bones”, the ancient truth is my lie. Wine is the poison that pierces the intestines, color is the steel knife that scrapes the bones”, the ancients sincere not I deceive.

I turned around and walked back as the three of them were discussing where to go.

“Why don’t we just go to Shennong Villa.” Liu Fang said.

“Shennong Mountain Resort is fun is quite fun, it’s just that you have to book a room in advance, there may not be a place to stay if you go now.”

Sua said.

“Call Faye Cheng and ask?” I said.

“You fight.” Suya said to Leng Jia.

“No need to call Zheng Fei, they went to the group of people a lot of I know, there is a surname Liu and our station is quite familiar with, I will ask him on the line, he originally asked us to go, we did not go.” Leng Jia took out her cell phone and started to make a call, the three of us were on the side, like children on New Year’s Day, looking forward to leaping, and some people in the farmhouse in the distance were looking at us curiously, probably thinking that our clothes were too colorful.

“They have come back,” Leng Jia hung up the phone, said to us: “They said they do not know if there are still rooms, anyway, quite a lot of people, go or not?”

I looked at Liu Fang, who nodded slowly.

“Let’s go,” I threw the stone in my hand into the lake: “Idle is idle.”

The taxi driver was very happy to hear that we had changed our minds, and offered to raise the price again. “Forget it,” I said coldly, “it’s not that far, and the price is already very good.” Suya and the girls also gabbled in Changsha and the driver muttered.

“Forget it.” The driver looked at my face in the rearview mirror and hopelessly agreed: “We’re already here anyway.”

“Why don’t you hang out with us and catch your ride back tomorrow.” I laughed and joked when I saw him agree.

Shennong Mountain Resort is in Liuyang, right on the side of the Liuyang River, and it was already after three when we got there. That resort is very grand, with a lot of high-class cars parked, and next to the mountain is a hotel with a lot of complementary recreational facilities.

We walked into the lobby of the hotel, the interior decoration luxury, all warm colors, came to the front desk, really no room, are booked out, we and the receptionist discussed for a while, said first go play a while, if the night before the temporary not come to cancel the booking on the phone to notify us.

We walked across the street to the Casino, which was surrounded by bamboo forests and elegant surroundings. On the left was a Chinese restaurant with the faint sound of silk and bamboo, on the right was a cafe-cum-western restaurant, and upstairs was probably a nightclub, with some signs describing the songs and dances placed on the stairway.

There was a service desk next to the cafe where we paid the deposit and received the key to the tennis court, Leng Jia loved playing tennis, Liu Fang and Su Ya were of average interest, both of them didn’t know how to play.

Although there were so many cars parked in front of the parking lot of Shennong Mountain Resort and the rooms were fully booked, I couldn’t see too many people inside, the swimming pool, basketball court and tennis court were almost empty, those people who came to have fun might have gone to climb the mountain? Those who came to have fun might have gone hiking, or slept in their rooms and prepared to go to the nightclub to have a good time at night?I’m not sure.

The tennis court was a very professional plastic court, I took off my coat, and Suya and Liu Fang and Leng Jia together to fight, you and I on the field, hooting and hollering, in fact, most of the time is to pick up the ball, good thing there is no bystanders, otherwise it is really a little embarrassed.

After playing for a while, we went to the side to drink water and rest, Suya’s phone suddenly rang, it was the hotel called, vacant a room, asked us if we still want to, we said immediately went over to do the formalities.

Liu Fang and Su Ya do not want to play, so they went to the hotel room, Leng Jia and I rested for a while, and began to play again, her level is really very average, I remember four years ago when I first started to learn how to play tennis and Li Huo and the two of them played once, in the informal venues, and after all these years, she is still a novice.

“Good shot, Leng Jia, well played.” Leng Jia caught a good ball and I encouraged her.

Leng Jia smiled happily.

“Tired?” I asked her as I bagged my racket after the game.

“It’s not bad,” Leng Jia took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her sweat: “It’s hard to see that you’re quite powerful for being so thin.”

I smiled slightly and picked up my bag and walked out with her, “Did you sleep well last night?” I asked her in a big circle.

“Didn’t sleep at your place, went to see a friend and then came home, saw you asleep so I didn’t say hello, were you drunk last night?”

“A little, mostly not too happy, you should know all about me and Li Ho over the years, I always thought she was good to me, I trusted her, I never thought she would lie to me.”

“I don’t think she was lying to you, but she didn’t feel the need to tell you.”

“What’s the difference,” I said to her seriously: “I actually don’t care that she has a boyfriend, I’ve had girlfriends, to put it bluntly, if she was honest with me and told me she had a boyfriend, the only change would be that I’d never touch her again, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair to her boyfriend or to me, and the other would have no There would be no repercussions and would still be great friends, but after it was clear that I knew everything, she still lied, so I just don’t understand the worry that she would have something to lose if I found out? Lying to me is in itself a distrust of me,” I said more and more angry, suddenly stopped: “Forget it, anyway, everything has already passed, in the future we do not see each other is.”

“Not really,” Leng Jia stopped and looked at me: “In fact, she has a boyfriend is quite normal, we are still friends.”

I stood still as well, looking her in the eye with a smirk, and said nothing.

At first Leng Jia also looked at me, after a while, seeing that I kept silent and looked at her, she felt a little embarrassed.

“What for?” Leng Jia pushed me.

“I’m not like you, I’m broken up and still attached.” I laughed.

Leng Jia got angry and turned away from me.

We both walked into the lobby and were about to call Liu Fang for a room number when we saw him and Sua coming down the rotating staircase.

“It’s in 310, you guys go wash up first,” Liu Fang handed me the key : “We’ll both go for a spin.”

Shennong Villa hotel room than the day more luxurious, just a little smaller, Leng Jia first to take a shower, I lit a cigarette, leaning on the bed to watch TV, which is playing the “Party B”, I have seen the movie, very much like to see, and see that the big money by the “dream day trip” down to the poor mountainous areas, the village chickens ate all the wearing broken cotton jacket sitting at the head of the village looking through the lens. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the footage of the big spender being sent down to the poor mountainous region on a “one-day trip with a good dream”, eating all the chickens in the village and wearing a tattered cotton jacket and sitting at the head of the village looking on.

“What’s so funny?” Leng Jia asked me as she changed and walked out, brushing her wet hair.

“A-side B-side.” I said, pointing to the TV.

Leng Jia sat in a chair, combing hair while watching TV, watched for a while, but also can not help but happy, washed out of her party to show the youthful tenderness, I looked at her, the bottom of my heart for the first time welled up tenderness, I took the clothes to change, into the restroom.

“Help me dry a glass of water.” I turned back to Leng Jia, who was also looking at me.

As an adult, it’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s false emotionally, desire and feelings are mixed together, it’s impossible to tell the difference, I thought as I took a shower, what the hell, if I want to do it, I’ll do it.

I finished changing clothes out, Leng Jia is lying on the bed in the smoke, I pick up the cup of water to sit on the chair, slowly sip, the TV has been played to the end, “Buddy this time justice over.” Ge You touched his bald head, a little aggrieved said.

Snowflakes falling outside the window, Feng Xiaogang, Liu Bei and other four people in the house to drink over the holidays, the middle-aged intellectual’s wife died, to return the key to Ge You’s house, the scene is bleak and touching, knowing that it is not true, I’m still a little bit touched, to be a person ah, can be kind or kind a little bit of it, it’s not easy.

Leng Jia and I finished watching TV in the lobby bar downstairs to find Liu Fang them, a piece of the opposite side of the Western restaurant to eat, outside has been dark, the hotel lights, illuminated the square in front of the door bright as a mirror, the distant mountains can not be seen on the lights, the shadows are all the shadow of the trees, there is a pavilion on the slope, there are colorful lamps decorated, like a pavilion in the air.

“Seeing the two of you reminds me of two words,” I looked at Suya and Liu Fang in front of me and sighed heartily, “well-matched.”

“Seeing the two of you, I can only think of one word,” Liu Fang heard my sarcastic tone and turned around and said, “vulgar.”

“I do recall four words,” Suya also turned back to me and made a face: “adulterer and adulteress.”

Western restaurant environment is very good, but not many people eat, we ordered food, while waiting while chatting, I asked Leng Jia they drink red wine, they said that the night to the bar and then drink, Liu Fang has been flirting with Su Ya, just received a “love palm”, flying out a “eyebrow to eye knife! “The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night.

It took us a long time to finish our meal, after we came out, Suya and Leng Jia went to the restroom, Liu Fang and I waited by the bamboo forest in the hall, I heard people talking noisily over there in the Chinese restaurant, someone was playing the piano, I took a few steps closer, but I still couldn’t hear it clearly, I turned around and saw Liu Fang teasing the two parrots in the cage with great interest.

“Is it fun?” I thought it was funny too, so I came over: “Can you talk?”

“No, I was wondering which would be good roasted, this red one or that green one.”

We walked out the door, feeling strong, and saw a beautiful pavilion on the hillside, so we wanted to climb there to view the scenery, and going around the back of the tennis court, there was a stone paved trail in the trees, and then white slate steps, and we soon climbed up to that pavilion, and we didn’t feel too tired.

That pavilion was built in a good location, on top of a hill, eight winds, the right side of the distance there are several higher mountains, a crescent moon at the top of the hill, such as iron paddle silver hooks, quietly and hanging, pavilion left is the Shennong Resort and Villas, the inside view at a glance, the lights of the tennis court there are people in the night battle of the swings, the pavilion in front of the city of Liuyang, the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, near is the Liuyang River, may be the National Day’s sake, the banks of the numerous lights The wind is blowing, the lights of the river slightly rippling, can not see the end of the river, only a few fishing boats tied to the side of the bridge, no one from the cross.

Pavilion surrounded by a circle of benches in the middle of the pavilion, the outside and a circle of railing, leaving more than two meters in the middle for people to look over the fence, the pavilion surrounded by neon lights decoration, the top of a few lamps, brilliant, countless moths around the light fluttering, lampshade inside the carcasses of the moths have been a lot of moths, outside of the Utah is persevering to the end of the day.

We stood by the railing for a while, quietly looking at the beautiful scenery at night, who did not speak, playful, just when, at this time, speechless by the rail, I do not know what they are thinking in their hearts, Leng Jia they stood tired, sat down in the middle of the chairs to rest, Su Ya said she found herself a few white hairs, to Leng Jia to help her to find out to pull out, Liu Fang went to join in the fun.

I stood alone at the pavilion, the tide of my heart slightly undulating, graduated these years, earned a little money, in addition to the home, most of the hand spent, twenty-seven years old, still working under the capitalists, do not know the future of the way out of where. Most of my former classmates are married, and divorced, I drifted around, not to mention a stable relationship, is the future settlement in which I do not know, indulgent life, I feel that the body is not as good as it was before, the elders at home are getting older and older, and need to plan for their future, the older they are, the more they feel annoyed about the more things in front of the people instead of pretending to be more dashing. Forget it, don’t want to think about this, go to hell, car to the mountain, God can’t starve the blind house sparrow, this day have wine, and drunk this day.

I took a deep breath and sang out loud the song I wrote when I graduated from college: “I want to keep your youthful appearance.

The sunset is reddest when you cry.

By the window is the hand of farewell.

My friend, I wish you a safe journey…”

I turned around and saw such a beautiful scene, two women and one man are there seriously looking for white hair, I think it’s very funny, “Hurry up and come over ah, a penny a pluck, late there will be no more.” Liu Fang yelled at me, and put a white hair into his mouth and bit it, like a gorilla catching lice for a baby gorilla.

Leng Jia and I were amused, Su Ya angry kicked Liu Fang away, Liu Fang poetry, walked seven steps in the pavilion, chanting: ” A., late at night, A., a beautiful night, A., on the face of a beautiful girl, A., I looked at her, she looked at me, go A. go, go A. go, and finally she asked me, three hundred dollars to do it or not? “

The three of us warmly applauded to show encouragement, the pavilion and then came in a few people, thought it was performing some kind of program, but also sat in a row with us looking at Liu Fang stood in the middle, I laughed too much, and Leng Jia Su Ya, they both got up and went down the stairs, “Wait for me, wait for me,” Liu Fang shouted in the back: “I am I’m in the middle of a poem.”

“Take your time here,” I said, turning around, “just don’t get beastly.”

We circled down the hill, the night is deep, the surrounding silence, the light is blocked by the trees, white stone road bright and dark, Su Ya timid, pulling me to walk in the back, Leng Jia suddenly pulling Liu Fang’s hand, ran through a corner disappeared, I know that the two of them must be to look for a place to hide, wait for us to pass suddenly jumped out to frighten us a moment, but saw Leng Jia and Liu Fang hand in hand to run far away, the heart or a little bit of sour uncomfortable, I think I am really a little bit like her. I think I really like her a little bit.

Sure enough turned two corners, the two of them jumped out with a loud cry, although I was prepared, but still startled, we walked a few more steps, saw a stone table on the side of the road, next to a few stone benches, sit down and rest, surrounded by shrubs, during the day is certainly a cool place, but at night only feel eerie, Sua again proposed to tell ghost stories.

“I’ll start with one,” Suya began: “Changsha there was a taxi driver, in the middle of the night, met a woman taxi, the woman wore a white dress, to go to the place is the countryside, the driver thought that there is only a woman is not much danger, so he pulled her to go. Almost to that time, passing a cemetery, the woman suddenly said to, gave him money to get off, the driver was scared up, business did not dare to do, drive home, fortunately nothing happened. But the next day up, found that the woman gave a piece of paper money, that driver clearly remembered that the receipt of real money at that time, and do not know what is going on, and then the night no longer dare to go there.”

The more Suya spoke, the more afraid she was, she scared herself first, and said that she did not dare to sit on the stone bench, and sat sideways at the stone table.

Leng Jia also leaned forward, then said: “Our hometown over there once built a building, cement pouring the kind, inside and outside the wall of a lap, to the inside of the cement, pouring to the seventh floor, there is a worker accidentally fell, others do not know, continue to pour, that person was buried alive in the inside, after checking the number of people to know that this is the case, but the building has been finished building, it is impossible to dig out his body. and it was impossible to dig up his body, and later I heard that the elevator in that building often stops when it reaches the seventh floor, and the door opens, and no one is seen coming up, and then it closes again.”

The cool wind blew, we all feel a little chill on the body, the grass seems to have something, we did not make a sound for a while, I think it is difficult to say this kind of thing ghosts and gods, believe that there is, do not believe that there is nothing, but the middle of nowhere, talk about these is not good, unlike that day in the hotel to talk about playing, but it does not matter.

I made a wink to Liu Fang, Liu Fang will say: “I also tell a, college when our school dormitory is particularly broken, winter time is quite cold, the toilet and corridor lights and often broken, do not see very clear, eerie, the middle of the night who are not willing to get up to go to the bathroom, once a student, the stomach is really uncomfortable, had to get up to go to the toilet, go in and hastily find a place to pull open the door and squat, suddenly saw a line written in front: ‘Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, look to your left. After entering the toilet, he hurriedly found a place to pull open the door and squatted, and suddenly saw a line written in front of him: ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, look to your left.’ He slowly turned his head to the left and saw another line: ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, look to your right.’ He became more and more afraid, and slowly turned his head to the right, and there was another line: ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, look down below you.'”

Liu Fang spoke more and more slowly, the atmosphere is getting more and more tense, Leng Jia and Su Ya hugged tight shoulders, try to move forward, Liu Fang went on to say: “The person’s spirit is about to break down, put his head down little by little, and really saw the ground wrote a few bright red words: ‘shit on the shit, why are you looking around’. ” Liu Fang suddenly said loudly.

Su Ya and Leng Jia began to be startled, reacted and felt really funny, laughing and hitting Liu Fang, and forced me to tell one too.

“I also tell the story of a woman in white,” I fixed my mind, said: “also a driver, a woman in the middle of the night to beat his car to the countryside, wearing a white dress, the driver began to greed business promised, did not expect to drive, but is the direction of the crematorium, the driver felt a little not right, from the rearview mirror to see, the back of the surprisingly no one, shocked, hastily turned back to look, the woman but good is sitting there, the driver is very strange, and drove for a while, a look in the rear-view mirror, and no one, turn around when the woman is still sitting there like this.” I made like the woman was sitting there peacefully, hand rubbing my nose.

“What happened then?” Sua asked nervously.

“Then the driver thought, play, must have met a ghost today, damn, anyway, can not live, might as well die with her, so increase the gas pedal, in the fastest time a sharp braking, only to hear a burst of chaos, the driver died with his feet against the car, the body leaned back, fortunately, people are fine, and look back, the woman hit the front and sit back, so stupidly look at the Driver, nostrils bleeding out,” I put my finger in the nostrils: “It turned out that she is not a ghost at all, the driver looked at her from the rear-view mirror, she was bending over in the digging of the nostrils; the driver turned back to her hurriedly sit back; the driver drove, and she bent over to dig the nostrils; the driver turned back to look at her, she felt embarrassed, and hastily sit back; the result of a sharp braking, the nose bleeds. and her nostrils bled.”

The three of them laughed out loud, in fact, Liu Fang and I told is not a ghost story at all, but a joke, we stood up cheekily, the sense of fear disappeared, almost to the river, I saw some people are fishing at night, the water light and shadow of the lamp, infinite light, we are like a group of happy children, jumping back to the city of hypocrisy and fickleness in the other side of the city have disappeared, this is the multi-faceted nature of human nature, right I secretly thought. This is the multi-faceted nature of human nature, I thought secretly.

Walking down to the second floor of the Casino, which was packed by a group that had come to play, we went downstairs in indignation, played pool for a while, couldn’t get the feel for it, so we went back to the hotel and got a seat at the lobby bar.

“It’s time to drink again.” I thought darkly.

All those sentiments in the pavilion and the innocent fun in the bushes just now are gone, we are back to our normal state of singing to the wine, one by one, wearing clumsy masks, playing childish emotional games, moths throwing themselves into the fire will inevitably burn into ashes, yet what can we do if we don’t throw ourselves into the fire? Live a few more years? Grow old and wither in the dust, leaving only a rough and cracked heart?

Maybe it was the cooler weather and the exercise, I was extra gluttonous that night, the bar had few customers, there were no shows, not even snacks or food, I was bored with my drink, the bottle of tequila disappeared in the blink of an eye, I drank almost half of it, and Leng Jia drank quite a bit too.

I felt my stomach burning, my whole body was hot, my face was red and hot, the lights in the hall seemed to be much dimmer, I couldn’t see much, Suya and Liu Fang were whispering something, Leng Jia and I were playing “fifteen, twenty”, “I can’t drink anymore.” I said, shaking my hand.

“No drinking, let’s play honest.”

I lost, Leng Jia thought about it and whispered in my ear, “How long was your first time?”

I thought about it for half a day and couldn’t remember, “A few minutes, I think, can’t remember, including the time it took to undress.” I said in shame.

The second time I won, I asked Leng Jia, “Do you like me?”

“I don’t know.” Leng Jia shook her head.

“How’s that, Rascal, or you can just kiss me and forget about it.” I didn’t think it was fair.

Leng Jia leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, I sat back in my chair, feeling the sky spinning and the alcohol surging up from the depths, I opened my eyes and saw Liu Fang leaning back in his chair, half asleep, and Su Ya was talking to Leng Jia in Changsha.

“I like him, I’ll talk to Li Ho…” I heard Leng Jia’s words in a daze.

I finally could not help it, staggering to the bathroom, hard to vomit for a while, out in front of the sink to wash his face and rinse his mouth, the mirror Leng Jia appeared behind me, gently help me to pound my back, years of wandering career in the bottom of the heart of the pent-up soreness of the life of the lack of understanding of their own immaturity of anger, the strong stimulation of alcohol and excitement of the mind’s confusion and excitement, on her beautiful face, sexy body repressed for a long time the desire, and to the person in front of me! Inexplicably a little like, I turned around, and she tightly embraced together.

Leng Jia and I went straight to our room, closed the door, and without turning on the light, we embraced and collapsed on the bed, our long suppressed longing awakening from the depths. I caressed her smooth legs, satin moved skin, mesmerized by her healthy and voluptuous body, her hands hugged me tightly from behind. She was so aroused as I entered her that my mind went blank, my sanity went nowhere, and she left a deep teeth mark on my shoulder moments before we reached a frantic climax.

My thoughts drifted back from far away but still wandered outside of my body as Leng Jia kissed me for a long time, her smooth body flipping and rubbing against mine, kissing all the way down my body, her lips warm and wet, tight around my body, and I couldn’t help but get aroused again.

“Want me.” The moment I died, I heard her moan in my ear.

Author’s announcement.

‘No more writing down to this point.

After this article was published on the Internet in a number of literary parks, although constantly received praise and love, but more from the criticism. Especially some netizens from Hunan, criticized me for degrading girls in Hunan, and even said that I was mean and nasty, taking pleasure in exposing other people’s privacy. All kinds of criticism came in a tide, I really can’t hold back.

After much deliberation, and also for the sake of the various characters in it, I have decided to close the book.

The Korean side on November 04, 1999.’

Eight Days and Seven Nights of the Sentimental Hunan Girl (VA)

Figured it out, Jin Yong his old man still have people scolding it, what do I count ah, someone criticized at least better than no one at all.

I’m very grateful to my online friends who have encouraged and supported me over the past few days, your concern means a lot to me. I am also grateful to those who have criticized me.

What is the first thing a person does when he wakes up from sleep? It should be to open his eyes, and until he opens his eyes, no one can be sure that he has truly awakened from sleep, including himself.

I opened my eyes, the room was not very well lit, I adjusted my vision, and saw myself and Liu Fang lying on the bed, Suya lying on the other bed, Leng Jia was not there, I took a close look at myself, my clothes were surprisingly very neat. I slowly got up, on my way to the restroom, I saw myself in the wall mirror, looking wooden, without any expression, Leng Jia was not in the restroom, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, I felt a lot more awake, I heard that there is a sense of emptiness after fulfillment, as long as you don’t go and touch it.

When I returned to my room, my mood had changed for the better, I pulled open the window  and the room lit up all of a sudden, “I met her in full bloom in a distant springtime, bright with dazzling light like a beautiful fairy tale.” I gently hummed Shen Qing s “Youth” and felt that my heart was as quiet as water.

Suya and Liu Fang also woke up, made a mess on the bed, everything is no different from yesterday, and after a while, Leng Jia came back, she went to watch people play tennis in the morning, outside a little cool, she wore a short suit, looked at a moment to feel the cold, ran back. Liu Fang was lighting a cigarette on the bed and handed me another one, Leng Jia and Su Ya were talking, she didn’t pay much attention to me, I think it’s normal.

It was almost ten o’clock, so we went downstairs to the café across the street for a buffet breakfast. We didn’t eat much, but we chatted away, and Liu Fang told us a great deal about the origins and downfall of Falun Gong, about how he joined the organization at a very early age, and how he retired from the organization when it had reached its peak, and how there were many levels of Buddhas. I am the highest Buddha, and many Buddhas have fallen to their deaths trying to climb up to see me…” As I listened to Liu Fang relaying Li Hongzhi’s words, I deeply marveled at the importance of imagination to human beings.

We went back to our room and packed up our things, ready to check out, Liu Fang and Su Ya walked in front of us, I gently held Leng Jia’s hand when we went downstairs, she turned her head to look at me and smiled embarrassedly, when we were checking out the waitress at the main desk recognized Leng Jia, “You’re that host from the TV station, aren’t you?” She asked in Changsha.

“Uh-huh.” Leng Jia smiled and nodded.

“How was the show?” I asked the lady at the main desk with a smile as well.

“It’s fine,” the lady looked up at me and switched to Mandarin: “It feels fine.”

We carry a bag, out of the door of Shennong Villa, along the river slowly to Liuyang city walk da, the sun gradually showed up, we are like four students on an autumn trip, the sun Leng Jia glowing, while I am a little depressed, this is the difference between men and women after making love? I secretly wondered.

“I dreamed about you last night.” Liu Fang and Suya walked quickly, and I said softly to Leng Jia from behind.

“Yes?” Leng Jia looked at me happily: “What did you dream about me?”

“Dreaming of you dressing me.”

“Go to hell,” Leng Jia pushed me: “Bao Li Bao Qi.”

I guessed that Leng Jia had helped me dress, and so it was, but why?

“Weren’t you tired last night?” I asked with a turn of phrase.

“What am I tired of? You should be tired.” Leng Jia said ambiguously, as if she was back to her usual self: “I couldn’t sleep, and you ignored me, so I went down to sit with them at the bar for a while, and when they asked about you, I said that you were drunk and went back to your room to sleep.”

I see, no wonder Liu Fang and Su Ya do not know anything today, I have always regarded Leng Jia as a person who dares to love and hate, and can not figure out why she has to cover up.

“Next time you dress for me, don’t get all dressed up instead of looking like me.” I chuckled.

We found a cab to Changsha in Liuyang’s bus station, Liu Fang and the driver bargained, I walked into the bus station to find a toilet, Liuyang is a busy county, the bus station is even more chaotic, I saw the crowded people, dilapidated cars, dirty stalls, garbage everywhere, there is a feeling of returning to the hometown, only the dialect from time to time to come in the ear to remind me that I’m just a hasty passer-by here.

I let Liu Fang and the three of them squeeze in the back and sat in the front to chat with the driver.

“How is the economy of Liuyang?” I asked the driver amiably, like a big official on a private visit.

“That’s it, just get by, the mainland can’t be compared to you, you’re from Shenzhen, right?” The driver was about forty years old, spoke good Mandarin, and looked like he had seen the world before.

“Yes, it’s from Shenzhen, but I’m Changsha’s son-in-law.” I looked back at Leng Jia and smiled.

“What’s all the fun in Liuyang?” Liu Fang asked the driver.

“Fun? Shennong Villa, Dawu Mountain, just to name a few, depending on what you want to do?”

“When he says fun, he means the red light district.” I explained to the driver.

“Red light district? That’s Dawu Mountain, a lot of people go there to play.”

“Dawu Mountain, isn’t that the forest park?” Sua asked.

“Yeah, it’s Forest Park, it’s fun, are you guys going?” The driver asked us.

“Forget it, I want to go back to sleep now,” Liu Fang took off his baseball cap, leaned his head against the back of the chair and closed his eyes, muttering like he was talking in his sleep, “Next time, next time, go to the forest park and catch a few butterflies.”

“What’s the point of catching butterflies?” Leng Jia asked curiously.

“Nothing, he just likes butterflies,” I said to Leng Jia, “especially a Liang and a Zhu.”

After joking around for a while they all got sleepy and fell asleep leaning back, I didn’t want to go to sleep, looking out the window and chatting with the driver one way or the other.

“How’s business? You should be considered pretty good in Liu Yang like this, having a car of your own.” I asked the driver.

“Sloppy, earn some hard money, can’t compare with you guys in big business.”

“I’m not a big businessman,” I said matter-of-factly, “I work for someone else.”

I silently looked out the window, thoughts and the car with the speeding, the car window and has been the countryside, reminding me of the scenery of my distant hometown, and their own gradual growth of the course of which there are some happy and unhappy things, when in order to their own so-called ideals, willing to leave the countryside, has long been ready to sacrifice some things, but when it comes to the end of the day, to find that they are really in the pay and change, and then some of the I’m not sure what I’m talking about, but I’m not sure what I’m talking about.

The other day in Shenzhen when my mother had come to a phone call, said I was ready to resign at the end of the year to immigrate to Canada, “children, you have to be contented ah,” mom instructed on the phone: “Do not be too over-ambitious, like you are now earning a few tens of thousands of dollars a month and how many of them, you do not know, this side of the Northeast! Now a lot of people are laid off, not laid off a few hundred dollars a month is also very good, laid off like that, a lot of children at home in school, now the tuition is more expensive ah, sometimes I see that poor, can not help, which are like you guys like a meal of hundreds of thousands of.” Mom began to count me, I gave her money she did not spend, but often go to do some good, this I do not object, I think she spent and take to do good and not much difference.

However, my mom’s words still remind me of many things, other people look like we seem to be very good, young and have seen a lot of the world, every day dressed in suits as if the city of white-collar class, but behind the scenes of the price of it? Who can really understand. My university classmates basically took three paths, one part went abroad, one part in the Ministry of Information Industry or under the Telecommunications Bureau, and part of the large telecommunications companies in the work, it is worth thinking about is that the work of the road is often inseparable from the changes in the feelings of the majority of my classmates who went abroad, especially the girls, the feelings of the majority of the change, I do not know whether it is because of the feelings of the first change led to go abroad, or go abroad led to the emotional tragedy. I don’t know whether it is because of the feelings of the first change led to go abroad, or go abroad led to the emotional tragedy, and in the state-run units, are generally in the university have fallen in love and determine the life, but a lot of the end is not very good, if it is after graduation in the community has been wandering for a few years twenty-four or twenty-five kind of people, they get married when they are really wanting to get married, is to look for a personality to get along with a long-term life partner, so the marriage instead of stability, and those who are in college with the feelings of love Married, the expectations of marriage is too high, after a few years of each other’s enthusiasm for normal fading, but can not accept, coupled with some of the catalysts in society, said that the divorce on the divorce, last time I went to Shanghai, I just divorced a classmate to invite us to dinner, mentioning that his original girlfriend does not care about, a mouth of one of his “ex-wife”! “After husband” how how, like a joke to tell, but we clearly remember how they fell in love in college to die, graduation by all means to be divided together.

As for myself, the road is completely self-selected, I have never complained about the world, there is no perfect thing, you can choose to work in the Telecommunications Bureau of 1,800 dollars a month, every day with their wives and children to enjoy a gentle life, the work has no pressure, but you do not envy the others to throw thousands of dollars of money, a house, a beautiful car, of course, you can choose to struggle out of the individual to fight for a fight, it is very likely to have all the glory or the excitement of the ups and downs, but you do not think about the “tea book in the hand, the wife and children with” days, these two life is not a distinction between the higher and lower. The glory of the dash or the excitement of the ups and downs, but you do not want to think about the “tea book in hand, with a beautiful wife and children,” the day, these two life can not talk about the difference between the high and low, depending on your own choices, I hate those who are comfortable every day holding his wife is always always complaining about the lack of opportunities for the people, trivial, always thinking about coming to the plate! Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are, the lost kid from Chairman Mao’s house?

Along the way thinking, I also fell asleep in a daze, has been down the highway only to wake up, just into Changsha we got off the car, there is a row of quite unique restaurant, we chose an authentic “Tujia chicken” restaurant to eat.

The three of them to wash their hands, I was there in a big way a table of dishes, although not hungry, I still want to taste a few more, I am a typical “wastefulness”, as long as the conditions allow, I like to waste, now the national economic downturn, so that you can stimulate domestic demand, than those who every day to hide the money under the bed to feed the rats of the miser good point! Right, this is a joke, in fact, I think young to have the characteristics of the young, want to get rich, “cut off the flow” is never enough, the key lies in the “open source”, when I just earned a little bit of money I did not buy a house in installments like many of my colleagues, but to buy a car! This is not only a matter of lifestyle, but also with the ultimate goal of life, even now, I live in Shenzhen dormitory even air-conditioning are not installed, can not make their own place to live too comfortable, it is easy to indulge in the comfort and loss of will, the car can be made better, so that it will not be like those of my colleagues on Sundays do not move in the home to sleep for a day, but often run outside, contact with the level of fresh faces, it will be the first time that I will not be able to get a car. But often go out, contact with all levels of fresh faces, there will be continuous opportunities and progress, otherwise do not be a lifelong capitalist lapdog?

Leng Jia came back and sat beside me, her hand gently holding mine from below, the two of us occasionally locking eyes in a very loving manner, I don’t know if Liu Fang and Su Ya can tell.

We discussed the arrangements for the afternoon, Leng Jia said she had something to do, and Su Ya said she wanted to go home and sleep, “You guys take a rest in the afternoon as well, we’ll be in touch in the evening.” Suya said.

“Contact me later,” Leng Jia said calmly, “I have to go to the store to see Li He after I finish my business.”

Probably because we had just finished breakfast, we didn’t have much of an appetite and didn’t move a few mouthfuls of the food on the table. We finished our meal in a cold and quiet manner, and then sat and chatted for a while, but we weren’t in the best of spirits, and the yellow jokes seemed to be over, so we didn’t have much to say for a while. “I’ll tell you a story,” Liu Fang said when he saw that we were all staring at each other. “Once upon a time, there was a eunuch…”

“What about down there?” Suya asked after waiting for a while without seeing Liu Fang continue.

“There’s nothing underneath.” Liu Fang said bitterly.

We checked out, took a taxi to Leng Jia’s home to pick up luggage, a door, the pug and woofed over, I saw it while barking, while wagging his tail, let go of the heart, squatting down to gently stroke its furry head, it put its front paws on my lap, tilted his head to look at me, its eyes and black and big, I looked into its eyes, silent stare for a moment, at that moment I suddenly feel and it has some I said to it in my heart, “You must be very lonely too”.

I went into the living room, Leng Jia’s parents and two other friends in the room to play mahjong, came out to greet us and went back in, we watched a little TV in the living room, the TV Leng Jia and two other hosts are hosting a program called “City Pop Station”, Liu Fang fancy another hostess, asked Leng Jia can ask her out, “Yes,” said Leng Jia very honestly: “as long as you are willing to pay. She asked Leng Jia if she could ask her out, “Yes,” Leng Jia said honestly, “as long as you’re willing to pay.”

Leng Jia took her photo out to us to see, she is not too photogenic, there is nothing to see the scenery good-looking, pick and pick I did not find a satisfactory, and then she simply took a two-inch photo ID to me, after a while her mother suddenly came out, walked to her and whispered to her: “Dongdong is back.”

“Got it.” Leng Jia replied, her mom didn’t say anything more and went back in to play cards, I continued to flip through my movie book as if I didn’t hear her.

I left my bag in Leng Jia’s room, she accompanied me to get it, we both entered the room, I picked up my tennis racket by the window sill and walked out with my bag in the other hand, I stood still when I passed Leng Jia and looked at her silently, she looked at me, I didn’t put my bag down, I just slowly leaned my body over to her, and we kissed gently, her lips were a little dry.

“Going to see your old boyfriend this afternoon?” I asked in a whisper.

“Well, then there’s a trip to Lihoe’s, so I’ll call you when I’m done.”

I nodded.

I came out of the room, and Liu Fang Suya together to say goodbye and go out, Leng Jia and her mother sent out, we politely said a few words and went downstairs, at the corner of the stairs, I looked back, Leng Jia looked at me, with a complex expression, I suddenly had a strong sense of strangeness.

Suya took a cab and went home, Liu Fang and I walked slowly down the street, it had been a few people together for the past few days, and now that we were the only ones left, it was a bit empty.

“What do you think of Changsha?” I asked Liu Fang.

“It was good, it was fun, but I’m going solo this afternoon and have to go back tomorrow.”

“Yeah,” I remembered that we’re going to work the day after tomorrow, “I’ll have to buy my plane ticket first, because the Fair starts on the 5th.”

We walked all the way there and passed two very cheap guesthouses that were over a hundred dollars a day, we went in and turned around, the rooms were not good, so we simply went back to Zhongtian to get a room.

Once into the lobby, far from seeing Wu Yu is working, see her I was inexplicably a little happy, open the room when she gave us some discounts, counting the price of acquaintances, Liu Fang registered there, I went to the side of the business center to book tickets, I did not think that the National Day holiday after the air tickets are so tense, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there is no longer the earliest, the earliest will have to wait until the sixth, and it is to go to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, the tickets will have to wait until the seventh.

Disappointed, I came out and told Liu Fang the situation, “It’s over.” Liu Fang slammed his fist on the desk at the main desk in an exaggerated manner.

“You’re fine, I’m just finished,” I said, “If I had known I was so nervous, I would have bought a round-trip ticket at that time.” Liu Fang in the training department, his direct leader is my alumni and sister, and we are very familiar with the two days off should not be a problem, but I am in the international marketing department of the leadership of the sixth will go to Geneva to participate in the International Telecommunications Exhibition, said the fifth to open a day of meetings to lay out the work of the fourth quarter, the meeting is very important, and this time to participate in the Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen at home and abroad many guests may be in the sixth day of the company visit, many things to be arranged, I deeply regret that I was too relaxed, I was too relaxed. I deeply regretted that I was too relaxed, and always thought that there were two flights from Changsha to Shenzhen every day, so there should not be any problem, but it turned out to be like this.

“If you can’t buy a ticket, just play for two more days.” Wu Yu looked at the two of us in a difficult situation and comforted us.

“But there is an urgent matter ah,” I thought about it, said to Liu Fang: “really can not take the train, I remember from Changsha to Shenzhen has a direct trip, a night to.”

“I’m just afraid that it’s not easy to buy train tickets either.” Liu Fang said worriedly.

“I know an acquaintance at the train station, maybe I can help you guys go ask.” Wu Yu sensed our urgency and said hesitantly.

I looked at her, her gaze was sincere, and she blushed a little when she saw me staring straight at her.

“What time do you get off work?” I asked softly after mulling it over for a moment.

“I’m on the early shift, until 3:30 p.m.”

“Can you give us a call when you get off work? Try to get a train ticket, if we do we’ll buy you dinner.” I said to her with a smile.

“No need for dinner, I’ll do my best, I’ll call you after work.” Wu Yu helped us get a room and we carried our bags upstairs.

Liu Fang and I showered, I lay on the bed and smoked, Liu Fang changed his clothes to go out, “Where are you going?” I asked suspiciously.

“I’ll go around the street, you go and buy the tickets with Wu Yu, don’t wait for me for dinner.” Liu Fang squeezed his eyes at me, I felt as if my heart was pierced by him, I was a little embarrassed, Wu Yu is indeed my favorite kind of girl.

I took out the book of Park Yang and read it for a while, and then I lay down for a while, I always feel that my heart can’t settle down, I turned on the TV, the Phoenix Movie Channel was playing a movie of Andy Lau, but he was only a supporting role, playing a cop who was working as an undercover agent, and was killed by the gangsters after things were exposed, the theme of the movie was written about the incident of three women in the prison, one of them turned out to be a hooker, and her father was addicted to drugs, and then she was made to take drugs, and later on, by chance she saved Andy Lau, who was mixing with the gangsters. She then by chance saved Andy Lau who was mixing with the triads, Andy Lau forced her to quit her drug addiction, and finally when she found out that Andy Lau was a policeman Andy Lau had been killed, she realized what an upright and strong person Andy Lau was, she found a chance to kill that triad boss and went to jail. That film seems to be a criticism of the flogging of society, the last three women in prison are dead, Andy Lau played a very heroic, I was quite moved, especially when it comes to the identity of Andy Lau can not be exposed, take his girlfriend home to see his father was kicked out of the bus, his depression has no place to vent, but also can not tell his girlfriend why he is suffering, in order to their own beliefs are willing to withstand all the aggression and condemnation, a real man of integrity, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man, a real man. For his beliefs, he is willing to bear all the grievances and condemnations, a real man should be like this.

TV played out, is an absolute tragedy, I with a little generosity of mood, silently thinking of the year some of the past, in the so-called childish years, I have also aspired to be a strong and upright people, fantasy to find a deeply loved girl, pampering her for life ？？？？ In fact, now I don’t think I have any degradation, I rely on their own skills to eat, do what they like, work hard and actively, and have the opportunity to help others, there is nothing unseemly, just occasionally think of some of the things that happened in the past, some frustration, the memory of the flying courage to decide the one that I absolutely existed, just forget the change is when it happened.

The phone rings, it’s Wu Yu calling, she’s off work and asking me to buy a train ticket.

I looked in the mirror and carefully organized myself until the person in the mirror became handsome and upright, with the worldliness of my brow carefully removed to appear somewhat laid back and transcendent.

I met Wu Yu in front of the hotel, she changed into a pair of jeans, wearing a snow-white lapel shirt on the inside, and a black striped velvet jacket on the outside, she looked very spirited, I looked at her long, straight legs and dark, shining eyes, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such clear eyes.

The sun was shining aimlessly on the street, the two of us looked like a matched pair of lovers, she led me across the street, “How do I get there?” I asked her curiously, she had just seen an empty cab pass by and she hadn’t stopped it.

“The station is over here.” She pointed ahead and explained to me that it was a bus stop with many Chinese buses hauling passengers, I looked at Wu Yu in surprise and didn’t say anything.

Wu Yu very naturally took me on a dilapidated minibus, in the back to find two seats, minibus is still soliciting passengers, one after another and come up some people, I contemplated whether to talk to her to change the cab, think about it and forget about it.

After waiting for a while again, the Chinese bus finally drove away, it was a little hot inside the car, Wu Yu took off her coat and held it in her hand, I looked at the tip of her slightly shrugged nose with a little bead of sweat, “Is it hot?” I asked her, we are very close, her skin white almost transparent, slightly shy between the eyebrows of the demeanor is very much like one of my former acquaintances, the only difference is that she wears short hair.

“It’s okay.” She turned her head and met my eyes, a little embarrassed: “What do you do? Why did you come to Changsha to play?”

“I’m a director who’s about to start a blockbuster movie and I’m looking for the right actress, and I’ve heard that this side of the world produces beautiful women.”

“Yeah? What movie? Did you find the actors?” Wu Yu looked at me amusedly.

“The title of the movie will be My Father, My Mother, by the way, you don’t know my name yet, do you, my name is Zhang Yimou.”

We got off the train at the train station, the train station is usually the most chaotic place in a city, mixed with fish and dragons, I usually try to avoid coming to this kind of place, the plaza in front of the station is sitting or standing all kinds of people, crooks, migrant laborers, suspicious identity of the woman, hotel solicitors to and fro, Wu Yu and I walked through the crowd, into the ticket office.

“I’m going in to look for someone, just wait for me here, don’t wander off.” Wu Yu seriously instructed me and turned to go in, it’s been a long time since anyone spoke to me in this tone, I felt funny, I don’t look that innocent do I, maybe she was treating me as an outsider who wasn’t familiar with Changsha, no matter what, looking at her pretty back as she went far away in the crowd, I still had a cozy feeling.

I waited for a long time, she has not come out, I think the person she is looking for is not there, she may also be waiting inside, I am bored to look around, there are a lot of people in the ticket room, as if there are a few ticket sellers drilling around, I think it may be worthwhile to buy a few high-priced tickets, and do not have to Wu Yu to beg for people, but always have to wait for her to come out before saying so.

After another half an hour or so, I really can’t wait, toward the direction she left, there seems to be a small door, I bypassed a few very long lines, almost to the door when I suddenly saw Wu Yu, a few ticket sellers are surrounding her to prevent her from leaving, and even some of the hands and feet, she was panicked and afraid of wanting to go around, the ticket sellers have been pestering her.

I stride over, pretending to have no intention of bumping off the ticket seller closest to her, and pull Wu Yu’s hand, “Why are you still here ah, a large group of them have been waiting for you there for a long time, and the tickets have already been purchased.” I said loudly, pulling her hand angrily out of the crowd. Those ticket sellers looked at us flabbergasted, did not do anything, out of the ticket room when I saw the door of the two policemen on duty are smoking and chatting, damn, this gang of bastards, will collect protection money and oppression of the good, white spoiled that body skin.

Eight Days and Seven Nights of Xiang Daughter’s Amorous Love (VB)

Once out of the ticket room, Wu Yu’s tears flowed down, “What’s wrong, aggrieved? Don’t be general with those people, or go back and find a few people to take revenge.” I comforted her and said.

“No, I just came out and you came over, the person I was looking for wasn’t there, I waited for a long time before I realized that she had left with the bus and wasn’t in Changsha, I came out and I wanted to ask those ticket scalpers for you, they… they asked for a lot of money, and they even moved their hands… I’m sorry for not being able to help you, ah.” Wu Yu said and cried again.

I stood to the side, quietly waiting for her to finish crying, Changsha how can there still be such a stupid girl, and so beautiful, I think it is unbelievable, she aggravated for a while, see I do not say anything, also stopped crying, raised her head and looked at me.

“Forget it,” I pretended to be very serious and thought for a while: “I’ll make a phone call back to the company, explain, should be able to get leave, in Changsha to play for two more days, do not need to buy a ticket, in fact, I quite do not like to take the train.”

“Really, can I get a vacation?” She asked, looking at me with wide eyes.

“Say it properly, it shouldn’t be a problem,” I said to her with a slight tease, “but you have to promise to stay with me for a few days before I make up my mind.”

“But I have to work all day tomorrow,” she lowered her head, her voice pitifully small: “As long as I’m not at work, I can…”

“Okay, okay, it won’t keep you from going to work.” I thought how she was so funny, taking a random joke seriously.

I took a cab and took her to the seafood restaurant at the Little Swan Hotel for dinner, the two of us kept chatting on the way, she gradually adapted to my joking habits and I tempered myself, it had been a few years since I’d spent time with a girl like this, and it felt a bit unnatural to me, she wouldn’t be falling in love with me, I thought.

“Wu Yu, why are you being so nice to me? It’s not like you know me.” I asked her as I ordered another table.

“Am I good to you?” She laughed mischievously, “Probably because I want to be the heroine in your movie.”

“That’s only if something happens with the director first ？？？？ That’s what the book says.”

She blushed and looked down as she slowly sipped her soup without speaking.

I and she like old friends casually chatting about some things, I told her, I read the university in Beijing, studying computer, after graduation, changed a few jobs, went abroad a few times, and now work in Shenzhen, “I’m very poor,” I said: “I can only eat two meals a day, and can only be based on pasta. “

She did not hide the envy of my life, and then I slowly asked about her experience to understand where this envy comes from, she graduated from high school did not go to college, went to study tourism junior college, just out of school, in the middle of the day as a trainee, hard work a month only more than three hundred dollars, her parents are very ordinary people, and the relationship is not good.

“My father took a lover outside, my mom plays mahjong every day, and I’m scared to come home every day.” She calmly looked into the distance and said expressionlessly.

I was surprised, just now when I chatted with her, I know that her family condition is very average, the lower class of the society, her father’s salary is only more than five hundred dollars a month, it seems that a person’s flirtatiousness is really not related to money and age. I don’t know what kind of lover I found. The middle-aged women in the factory colleagues, or just into the city of the rural girl? This kind of father might as well not have one. I feel unfair for Wu Yu.

“Some of my classmates work, some don’t, they always get some money and go out to play, I’m not happy to work in the hotel, our foreman always tries to bully me, I really don’t like this place Changsha, what I wish for the most right now is to leave this home, to leave this city.” I listened to Wu Yu’s words, and suddenly remembered Leng Jia, Su Ya, Li He and the girls, in fact, they are all about the same age.

“And where to go when you leave here? To do what?” I looked at Wu Yu as she bit her lips tightly, causing pity.

“Go anywhere, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, abroad, not here anyway, I’m learning a foreign language now, I’m going to live independently, even if I have to pay for it, if there’s a man who’s capable and treats me well to take me away, I’m willing to do it even if he’s married, and I won’t be pestering him all the time, as long as I can get a job in the outside world.”

“You work in a hotel. Don’t you get pestered?” I said shyly, “Like me.”

“There are ah, there are a lot,” Wu Yu glanced at me, smiled and said: “But not like you, Changsha you may not know, the men are quite bad, those women are quite open, there are always people with ladies to open the room at night.

Heck, those guys strike up a conversation with me and I ignore him, bad.”

“I’m actually bad,” I said playfully, “I’m not a good person.”

“I think you’re quite good,” Wu Yu embarrassed to smile a little, seriously: “To tell the truth, in fact, I quite like your type of boys, with a little book flavor ？？？？ But let me choose, I would rather choose to be able to help me change my destiny, rather than my love, I really do not want to spend my life like this, old age, just like my mother.” Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm.

I looked at Wu Yu doll-like face and her talk with a bit of sadness, feel that everyone is not as simple as it seems, in fact, I quite understand her thinking, I was her, is not this choice? I just feel a little sorry, fate is like this, talk about what is fair or unfair.

“I’ll tell you a joke,” after dinner, I want to change the topic, a change of atmosphere: “There is a building in which live four people, each person has different hobbies: the first floor of the people like to eat cucumbers, see cucumbers into the mouth, the second floor of the people like to paint everything green, the third floor of the people like to urinate on the balcony, the fourth floor of the people like to play with knives. The people on the third floor like to urinate on the balcony, and the people on the fourth floor like to play with knives. One day, as the man on the fourth floor was playing with his knife, whoosh, the knife suddenly fell, the man on the third floor was peeing on the balcony, ‘ka-ching’ no good, it cut and fell to the second floor; the man on the second floor saw something falling from the sky, and regardless of what it was, he painted it green; the man on the first floor caught it, and, wow, a cucumber, cucumber, cucumber… “

Wu Yu and I laughed together as we walked out the door, “I’m going to my foreign language class, where are you going, back to Zhongtian?” Wu Yu looked at me, reluctantly.

I took out my cell phone, it was dead, I remembered that Leng Jia said she was going to call tonight, I had to go back to the hotel to change the battery, “Let me give you a ride to school.” I held her hand and stopped a cab.

We got off the bus at the entrance of the foreign language school on Wuyi Road, it wasn’t far from Zhongtian, I could walk back, “I’m going in, you go back to the hotel and get some rest, don’t smoke all the time, especially when eating, it’s not good for your body.” Wu Yu lowered her head and stood in front of me.

“Wait.” I pulled her to the side of the road, gently encircled her waist, her body is very soft, exuding the aroma of a young girl, I lowered my head, her face gently pressed against my face, I felt her cheeks hot, the weather is a little cool in the evening, the breeze blowing, it looks heavier in autumn, I sighed in my heart, restraining myself from the desire to kiss her. “Give me a call tomorrow when you get off work.” I gently pushed her away, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, so similar to the man’s.

On the way back to the hotel, I repeatedly told myself, I came to Changsha this time is to play, I already have their own life plan and design for the future, and that all has nothing to do with Changsha, I will be going abroad next year, and to a new starting point, there will be a very hard process, may not even be able to afford to support themselves, I can’t give anything to her, and there’s no need to let her pay anything for me.

Street night hangs low, street lamps do not shine in the dark, the far side of the high-rise silent standing, I do not know the inside of the family are doing what, the lights are on and off, off and on, reflecting the city as if a bloodthirsty beast, mercilessly devouring our youth.

Back to the room, the excitement in my heart slowly calmed down, I changed the battery of the phone, the first to Liu Fang called, can not get through, always received a secretary desk in Shenzhen, I dialed Leng Jia’s cell phone, no one answered, I think maybe she is with her original boyfriend, not convenient to listen to the phone.

I turned on the TV, the national Olympic team’s game has just finished, the Chinese team lost to South Korea zero to one, the host of the expression of stagnation, may not have figured out how to comment, I switched to the satellite TV movie station, is playing Liu Qingyun’s “the 15th of the first month of the first heart, Liu Qingyun is one of the movie actors I like, I poured a glass of water for myself, seriously watch the TV.

I don’t know why my heart is always quiet, I picked up my cell phone, and kept calling Liu Fang, either unable to connect, or transferred to the secretary’s desk, this guy, knowing that I will be looking for him, how can I not open the cell phone? Even if it is out of battery, you can just find a public phone to call me ah.

Leng Jia’s phone can be called through, that is, there is no one to answer, I think about it, I think she even with the original boyfriend together, pick up the phone is nothing, not to mention that she had also agreed to eat dinner with me, if there is something can not come, at least should make a phone call to tell me about it, I use the hotel phone to dial their own cell phones, everything is normal, can call in, is she did not hear the I used the hotel phone to dial my cell phone, everything was fine, it was perfectly fine to call in. I stood in front of the window, repeatedly to Leng Jia call, suddenly there was a call over, no longer ringing, came from the clear voice prompts: “You dialed the user has been shut down, please dial again later.

My mind realized something all of a sudden, turned back to my chair and sat down, slowly thinking that turning off the phone meant that she had taken out her phone, saw the number I had typed on it that I had missed, and then turned it off, that she just didn’t want to answer my calls, why? I couldn’t think of a reason.

It was completely dark outside, a ghost movie was playing on the TV, and I suddenly had a deep sense of loneliness, so strong.

Cigarettes finished, I went downstairs and bought another pack, back to the room, lying on the bed in boredom, I flipped through the wallet phone book, slowly browsing through the names of one person after another, trying to find someone to call and chat, suddenly saw Shen Xiangdong’s name, remembered Changsha before I once gave him a phone call, he was in Beijing, I would have liked to ask him to come together, but he had something to do at home.

“Comrade Xiangdong? I’m from Women’s Health magazine, and we’d like to do a feature interview with you.”

I dialed Shen Xiangdong’s cell phone.

“Fuck you, a while ago when sweeping pornography you girl was not arrested, when did you come out?” Shen Xiangdong heard my voice.

“Why do you talk like this, when I interviewed Jiang’s office and Li’s office people were more polite than you, don’t think that just because you are an expert on women’s issues that you are great, be careful that we in the public opinion world will ruin you.” I criticized him severely.

“Don’t fuck you, you know how to write the word “opinion”? I’ve just finished watching the game, I’m bored, I don’t have the mood to be poor with you, let’s talk about something serious, you’re in Changsha, right, how’s it going?” Shen Xiangdong’s voice is much more mature than before.

“What can it be, it’s the same old three things.” Shen Xiangdong and I gossiped about the past and talked about our respective current situations, feeling a bit better, “Have you seen Suya? Is she okay?” Shen Xiangdong suddenly asked.

“Seems okay, she asked about you too.” I replied seriously, right, Suya, how did I forget about her, I can ask her where Leng Jia and the girls are, Shen Xiangdong and I chatted some more and hung up.

When I called Suya, she was having dinner at home, we made a few jokes out of habit, she asked me what I had been doing in the afternoon, I said I had been sleeping in my room, I noticed that she just asked me where I was without mentioning Liu Fang.

“If I had known that you were eating dinner at home by yourself, I would have invited you out for dinner,” I said with concern, “I also ate dinner by myself, Liu Fang went out in the afternoon, and Leng Jia hasn’t been able to get in touch.”

“Leng Jia might have something going on, that boyfriend of hers that was in Guangzhou is here.” Su Ya is still the more straightforward person in dealing with things, if she hadn’t seen Liu Fang in the afternoon, she would have asked me where Liu Fang might have gone, or made jokes about him.

“Suya, just now I talked to Shen Xiangdong on the phone, he asked me, how are you doing now, I think he still cares about you quite a lot, we also talked about some things in the past, how fast time flies, we all know each other for more than four years.” I said emotionally.

“Yeah, it went by really fast, and Shen Xiangdong and I haven’t contacted each other for a long time.” Suya was the one whose emotions were more easily affected.

“You saw Liu Fang this afternoon, right,” I said suddenly, taking advantage of Suya’s frozen moment, I went on to say: “Suya, but I’ve always treated you as a good friend, you should also treat me as a friend, you shouldn’t hide it from me.” My tone was very sincere.

“did not hide you what ah,” Su Ya silent for a moment, said: “really nothing, I saw Liu Fang in the afternoon, I went home and took a shower to go to Li He store, not a moment Liu Fang came, he said that you went to buy a ticket, if you buy it tomorrow back, he came to say goodbye to Li He, after all, to recognize the A well, you do not want to see Li He, Liu Fang did not tell you.”

I thought about it and it made sense, “So what happened then?” I asked Sua.

“Then Leng Jia also came, she did not stay long at her original boyfriend came over, and Li He muttered for a while, I was next to no fun, so I went home first, Leng Jia may have gone to look for that friend of hers in Guangzhou again, Liu Fang has not come back yet?”

“No ah, I do not know which hair salon to go around,” I feel a little more at ease: “But Leng Jia had agreed to eat dinner with me, even if there is something should tell me ah, why do not answer my phone, but also turned off the phone?”

“I don’t know then, it might not be convenient.”

“Did you hear what Li Ho and Leng Jia said?”

“Did not hear anything, they just said a moment I left, I do not want to hear,” Suya paused for a moment, and then said: “Maybe some of it is about you, not very good words, to be honest, I think you really do not need to engage in so stiff with Li Huo, even if you like Leng Jia also do not have to make everyone so desperate! Right, I seem to hear Li He said ‘shameless’ two words.”

The TV was playing to a climax when a dead body suddenly appeared on the screen.

“This matter can’t be blamed on me ah.” I explained a few more sentences with Suya, hung up the phone without moving, and continued to dial Leng Jia’s cell phone, I think no matter if she likes me or not, or if I like her or not, about Li He’s matter I have to make it clear to her. Leng Jia’s cell phone turned on again, but still no one answered, I called a few times but could not, thought about it and dialed Su Ya’s phone: “Su Ya, do me a favor, give Leng Jia a call, ask her why she did not pick up my phone, I have a little bit of important things I want to talk to her, so that she make sure to give me a call back.”

I sat in a chair, lit a cigarette, the smoke ring is always spit bad, not long after the phone rang, is Suya called, “her cell phone on ah,” Suya said: “I dialed on the line, but she seems not very happy, I asked her to receive your call, she said: ‘I have no right to pick up his phone,’ she said. She said: ‘Why should I answer his call?’ I said, you asked me to tell her to call you back, but she didn’t say anything. Anyway, I don’t care, don’t involve me in your business, you want to find her to call yourself, but I advise you not to find her now, she is not in a good mood, it is better to calm down after a while.”

I seriously thanked Suya, waiting for Leng Jia to call, almost eleven o’clock, the phone has not been ringing, I dialed Leng Jia’s number, and turned off the phone, I drank water while thinking, feel the heart and return and chaotic, I want to do not understand why Li Huo is so to me, I have been treating her well, she is now her own have a boyfriend, and do not allow me to be good with others? Why are you saying bad things about me behind my back?

“Li Ho? This is Han Jiang, hello, is it convenient to talk?” The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I simply called Li Ho’s house.

“Go ahead.” She said coldly.

“Aren’t you ashamed to do this to me?” I couldn’t suppress my anger any longer and said in a low tone of voice.

“I think you’re the one who should be ashamed.” She wasn’t the least bit impressed.

“Why are you talking bad about me behind my back? Do I deserve this from you? Do we still have anything to do with each other?”

“I didn’t say anything bad about you ah, we are nothing to do with each other ah, I just as Leng Jia’s good friend, I don’t want her to be hurt, so I speak some things with her, I didn’t say anything bad about you.”

“Hmph!” I grunted coldly, daring to say it but not daring to admit it, how ridiculous.

“How did you become like this?” Li Huo’s voice was still unhurried: “You weren’t like this before.” How did you change? I thought to myself, “You’re not so easy to fool nowadays, are you?

I had just put down the phone when Liu Fang came back, “You went to Li He’s?” I asked her with a smile on my face, very indifferent, I was afraid that he would lie to me first and say that he went to some other place to hang out in the afternoon, then I wouldn’t be able to ask him again, even if I proved afterward that he was telling a lie it would only hurt each other’s feelings, it would be better to pick it up directly, so that he wouldn’t have a chance to lie at all.

“Yeah,” he admitted matter-of-factly, “I didn’t think you’d want to go, so I didn’t tell you either, so what happened?”

“It’s okay, just call your cell phone can not be reached, quite anxious, the train ticket did not buy, we can only take a leave of absence, Li Huo all said what?” I was cheeky as usual, and he smoked and chatted, he may not feel the need and embarrassed to hide anything from me again, told about the afternoon, I secretly verified the information from the side of several aspects, I feel that I basically know the truth of the matter.

The night did not go out to play, the time is still early, both of us have nothing to sleep, talked for a long time, in fact, before we do not know each other very well. Said later, and brought up the matter of Changsha, I was a little excited, and he said a lot of words in the heart, what kind of person I really am, my relationship with Li He, and Leng Jia things, how I think and so on, most of the time he was listening, silent.

We both smoked all our cigarettes, felt our throats drying out, drank a couple glasses of water, and lay in bed slowly falling asleep.

Eight Days and Seven Nights of Xiang Daughter’s Many Loves (VI A)

We woke up around nine o’clock, Liu Fang got up and ran to the bathroom to take a shower, “Thirty-something people, still so angry,” I criticized him: “The bedsheets are dirty? How many times have I told you, from now on, when you go to bed, just put it on, don’t get it all over the place.”

“What a mess, all right you?” Liu Fang proudly said: “I call this a good body, the industry is better than hard work in the hip understand? Idle is also idle, than those who can not afford to pay the rations of the strong it.”

“This is also the case, ‘the words are not rough, work to do a good job, must first sharpen their weapons’ Well!” I nodded my head, and praised: “Sharpening the spear in the battlefield is not fast, but also light.” I sat on the edge of the bed, slowly flipping through the previous phone number, suddenly saw the name of Zhang Qing, according to the number on the phone to her home, did not get through, her home phone number has changed. I turned from back to front, page by page, scrutinizing the names of those déjà vu, there is a feeling of yesterday’s flowers, the more forward, the more fuzzy memories, if a thing we do not remember, is it possible to treat it as if it had never happened? There is a page and the previous page stuck, I gently rubbed it open with my hand, and saw a name that has been somewhat faded, followed by a phone number in Changsha, a trace of warmth in the heart swept through the name reminds me of the year that the verdant season.

I met Shen Ting in 1994, before I came to Changsha, it was the most brilliant period of my life, when I just found a job in a foreign company, the salary is quite high, food and clothing is not worried about, the pressure of life is not obvious, every day to live a carefree days, nothing to do with a group of classmates and buddies to drink and sing, at that time, Beijing has just been popular “bar”, I often go to some small bars opened by friends to guest sing some of their own campus songs, sometimes I will meet some beautiful girls, they are friends of friends, most of them come from four famous “Beijing” campus songs. “At that time, it was just popular to go clubbing in Beijing, and I often went to some small bars opened by my friends to make guest appearances and sing some campus songs written by myself, and sometimes I would meet some pretty girls who were friends of my friends, and most of them came from Beijing’s four famous “pretty girl centers”, namely, BeiJing Film Studio, Chinese Opera House, Dance Academy, and Military Academy.

Shen Ting is from Changsha, she seemed to be only seventeen years old, from Hunan to Beijing Film Cadet’s acting department college class, from the beginning of the acquaintance, she has never hid her admiration for me, in the hearts of these little girls, we will be computer will write a song will be playing soccer but also do not worry about the money spent on the boy is really great, Shen Ting is a typical sweet and brittle kind of girl, round eyes, round face, quite pleasant, body what look do not remember, at that time I do not pay much attention to this aspect. She had round eyes, a round face, and was quite pleasant to be around. I don’t remember what her body looked like, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.

Every time I see me in the bar she will run over and hug me and jump and mess, I am the youngest among the siblings in my family, I have never tasted the feeling of having a younger sister, so I treat her very well, a little spoiled her, my friends treat her and her classmates very well, but she is not the kind of girl I love, the ideal in my heart is the little dragon lady and she is a little bit like Yue Lingshan, sometimes when I take her to dinner, some of the buddies still think she is my girlfriend, she likes this kind of misunderstanding.

I that period in the spirit of very extravagant days lasted about half a year, and then I was sent to Changsha, I left when she seemed to cry a, impression is not very deep, we were in the future full of hope, like all kinds of new things, not to stay and memories of the time, and the two of us simple relationship is very simple, we have never kissed, not to mention that kind of thing. Later on, my life is quite a bit of ups and downs, slowly, that period of time is just turned into a smile on the lips when dreaming at midnight. When I went back to Beijing, I seldom contacted my friends in that circle. The years were approaching unconsciously, and the splendor of the day and night gradually receded, as if I had become a person of another world.

Suddenly turning up her name, I felt curious about what she would be like now, after all these years. She should have grown up too, right? Would she still remember me? I remembered the time I ran into her in a bar, and she ran over to me, calling out “Brother Jiang”, “Don’t call me brother, sister, it’s easy to get into trouble.” One of my buddies teased her, “What do you care? If something happens, something happens, what’s wrong with it?” She hugged my shoulder to demonstrate to others, I seem to see her then playful look, to be honest, at that time she and I really do not know what it means to have an accident.

I dialed Shen Ting’s home number and a woman answered, I guessed it might be her mom.

“Hello Auntie, is Shen Ting there?” I asked politely: “I am her old classmate in Beijing, I haven’t contacted her for a long time, is she in Beijing or Changsha now?”

“She’s in Changsha, but she’s not at home, she’s participating in a competition these days, eating and staying in a group,” said her mom, who speaks pretty good Mandarin, “Why don’t I give you her phone number, and you can call her, sometimes she’ll be on.”

I thanked her mom, wrote down Shen Ting’s cell phone number, and called it, but there was no answer.

“Call who?” Liu Fang came out of the restroom and asked while getting dressed.

“A former sister.”

“Don’t brother ah, sister ah, easy to get into trouble.” Liu Fang said smoothly, I looked at him with surprise, he even knew this sentence, by the way, he is a graduate of the Northern Normal University, one term earlier than me, and our school is a neighbor.

“Nothing to play with today, right?” Liu Fang asked me.

“Yes,” I sighed, “the ugly room was empty, but the bed was full of wattles; the grass was withered and poplar, but it was once a place of song and dance.”

“Aren’t you looking for Leng Jia?”

“Forget it,” I shook my head: “Let’s go out and have a look around, we haven’t visited Changsha yet, it’s good to have some peace and quiet, and by the way, we bought the air tickets.”

The two of us went downstairs, walked to the “May Day” road, found a civil aviation ticket office, before buying tickets, we both called their leaders.

“Mr. Xu hello, I’m Han Jiang, you rest at home,” I said with a smile: “with you to ask for a leave, I eleven to Hunan to see a friend, originally intended to go back today, but did not buy a ticket, the earliest air ticket is the day after tomorrow, you see me to ask for two days of leave, the day after tomorrow to go back to work into it? “

“What you still ask for leave, counting absenteeism on it,” Mr. Xu said sternly on the phone: “Why do not you buy the return ticket in advance?”

“I didn’t realize that airfare would be so tight,” I said with a smile, “Mr. Xu, I thought that two flights a day should be fine, but I didn’t expect…” I sighed.

“No problem, no problem, now there is a problem how to do?” Mr. Xu slowed down his tone: “You know I’m going to Geneva the day after tomorrow, to be back in a month, the fourth quarter there are so many things to be arranged, the air ticket can not be bought, you can take the train.”

“Train tickets are also gone,” I explained: “I am now at the train station, too many people back to Shenzhen after the National Day, it is my fault for not being prepared, I have arranged for work, I have just called Li Zhijian, do you think you can let him attend the meeting for me? Back to me to seriously study the spirit.”

“What’s the use of studying, the key is to come out into , I don’t care, anyway, you have to find a way to rush back.” Mr. Xu hung up the phone.

I was relieved to know that he even agreed, he is the senior vice president of our company, although his appearance, but very capable, these two years I killed for him to block the west, but also set up a lot of sweat and tears, he admires me, but public and private, speak has always been strict, so that he said directly agree to my leave is impossible, his art of leadership is relatively high, such as this time, his treatment of the attitude on the full show the level of one hand, he did not agree to my application. On the one hand, he did not agree to my application, the pressure naturally passed down, I can only do my best to think of a way, will not appear in case he agreed to the situation that I can buy a ticket but also refused to go back on time; on the other hand, I also reported to him, he naturally have to consider the work, will not be delayed in the important things, and if anything happens, he does not have to take responsibility, because he did not agree that I do not go back; Thirdly, if the situation is really like what I have said, that neither air tickets nor train tickets can be bought, then what difference does it make whether he agrees or not.

I gave Li Zhijian another call, instructed him a few words, went in to find Liu Fang, there is no problem for him to take a leave of absence, the nature of his work is not very stressful, and his leader and I have a good personal relationship.

After buying the ticket, the two of us skulked along the first five roads to the direction of Wuyi Square, a lot of pedestrians on the road, passing through the first five post office I saw when often come to work in the machine room, the sun shines brightly, and a lot of memories all of a sudden clear up, so that people can not help but nostalgia.

“This is where I fought back then.” I showed it to Liu Fang: “I was as pure as white paper back then.”

“You? White paper? I don’t believe it,” Liu Fang looked at me like a joke: “At most it’s just toilet paper that hasn’t been used yet.”

“You’re so sweet,” I couldn’t figure out if vulgarity should be Liu Fang’s strength or weakness, “By the way, how are you and Sua doing, do you have feelings?”

“It’s not clear, play,” Liu Fang said with a big grin, “It’s not like picking a daughter-in-law.”

“The point is do you like her?”

“Like how? Do not like so what>” Liu Fang took off his sunglasses, seriously said to me: “I think this is the biggest difference between the two of us, you and a woman before going to bed with a woman have to make yourself believe that you really like her, is it necessary? I now realize why you never prostitute.”

“I’m not well.” I said modestly.

“In fact, prostitutes have the benefits of prostitutes, need to go to relax a little, fair trade, money and goods, than those feelings of the game is much simpler,” Liu Fang generous to do my ideological work: “Besides, now some prostitutes are really quite good, people are good and good. ” Liu Fang seems to remember something, leisurely and fascinated.

“How to say are not all chickens,” I beg to differ, words without mercy: “Do you know the words of the chicken is not a chicken?”

“Chicken how, you don’t look down on people, say those so-called traditional women in the north, I’ve seen a lot of, what feelings not feelings, first take that set of value standards in society to measure you, education, house, national cadres, rich or not, think it’s okay to have dinner with you contact. But if you want to go to bed, I’m sorry, you have to marry me first, is this fucking traditional? What kind of bullshit love, the same as the body as the capital of the marriage as a commodity, the purpose is stronger than the chicken, to put it bluntly, but also looking for a long-term john, but also fucking take the sense of responsibility of marriage or something to tie you up.”

“You’ve got a point there,” I said, thinking that Liu Fang’s views were a bit radical, but I didn’t want to argue with him: “That’s why I like dealing with Changsha girls, they’re much simpler in comparison, and many times they sleep with people because they like them, without too much merit. I don’t want to argue with him: “That’s why I like dealing with Changsha girls.

We talked and walked on the road, the sidewalk is very narrow, we stopped from time to time to browse the roadside stores placed a variety of goods, Liu Fang stopped in front of a video store, from the pocket out a few dollars, thrown to the side of the road a dirty old beggar hideaway cup. “I think there are a lot of differences between the two of us,” Liu Fang turned his head to me in the sunshine and said: “My style is relatively simple, anyway, it is such a stone, the girl likes it or not, I’m just like this, put it here, and do not have to cover up. You are different, you are accustomed to pleasing the likes of others, meet a girl you like you will instinctively feel her, feel out which type of man she likes, and then unconsciously adjusted themselves to that type, too tired, but this is also a good thing, that is, there are a lot of girls like you.”

“Yeah? You look at me like this?” I cheekily said, “I think you’re the kind of woman who likes women.

There is a sea of people, and there will be one for you.”

Oncoming a few young fashionable girls, Liu Fang and I stopped talking and watched as they brushed past us, the girls glanced at us and giggled as they walked away.

“There are so many pretty girls in Changsha.” I sighed.

“Pretty does not matter, when needed, flies and mosquitoes are also meat,” Liu Fang bluntly: “Think about it, you and those girls play the game of feelings, in the end, because you genuinely like them, or just because they look pretty?”

I did not answer, have not seen the true feelings of people, naturally do not believe that the existence of true feelings, I do not think it is necessary to explain anything to Liu Fang, he formed now this character naturally have his personal experience, just my own seem to have given people this feeling? I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. I had always thought that I was fundamentally different from Liu Fang and the others, but now it seemed that I was no more noble than he was. Have I really been playing the game of emotions all this time? No, but… My mind was in turmoil, I couldn’t understand myself or the world, but one thing was indisputable, if she hadn’t left me, I would never have done anything wrong to her in my life.

We crossed the street from the May 1st Square’s underground mailbox, McDonald’s was crowded, we walked to a newly opened shopping mall, where a stage had been set up and was preparing for a promotional show, I lit a cigarette, inhaled deeply, and turned back to Liu Fang and said: “I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make it.

“I think you hold this view because you have never met a girl who is good in her own right, who you like, who is true to you, who makes you feel what it’s like to be in love,” I said, word for word. “The women you’ve met before are probably just interested in your looks and your body. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a woman who wasn’t just interested in your looks and body.”

Liu Fang was silent.

“What if a girl is really nice to you? Like I said, what if you meet a girl that nice?”

“Then I’ll send her away and not let her near me.” Liu Fang said sadly after another moment of silence.

Music played, a group of models wearing a variety of fashions have come on stage, Liu Fang and I mixed in the crowd like ordinary people, tilting our necks to look at, those models are very tall, but the appearance of the temperament is rather flattering, it seems to be very amateurish. Liu Fang and I watched with great interest and admiration.

My cell phone suddenly rang and I stepped aside to answer it, “May I ask which one of you has called me?” Even though it was in Changsha’s dialect, I still heard Shen Ting’s voice at once.

“It’s me, Shen Ting, I’m Han Jiang.” I said bluntly.

“Han Kang, where… where are you? You still remember me?” I was unconsciously touched by her ill-concealed surprise.

“How could I not remember you,” I said slowly, controlling my emotions, “I’m in Changsha.”

“Gosh, you’re in Changsha?” Shen Ting sounded as if nothing had changed, still speaking like a child.

“I left Beijing has been to many places, now I work in Shenzhen, eleven vacation to come over to play a few days, I called your home to know that you are also in Changsha,” I paused for a moment, asked her: “How are you, how are you doing?”

“It’s fine, I came back right after graduation, I even looked for you before I left Beijing, they said you were out of the country.”

Shen Ting’s voice gradually calmed down: “I am now working in the theater company, that is to put the relationship there, most of the time in the outside with the crew to run, I am participating in the ‘Star of the Century’ competition! I’m participating in the ‘Star of the Century’ competition!” “Hehe, I’ve just made it to the final round.”

Shen Ting laughed for a while, and then complained to me, “Why didn’t you say you were coming earlier, we’ve been closed up for the past few days, in Hexi, how many days can you stay this time? Where are you staying?”

“I live in Zhongtian, the day after tomorrow, already bought a ticket,” I was a little disappointed: “I did not know that you are in Changsha ah, is it impossible to see you?”

“No no no, I must see you, I think about it ah,” Shen Ting thought for a while ∶ “daytime is definitely out of the way, tomorrow night to record, unless it is tonight, tonight we compete bowling, eleven o’clock or so to end, you leave the phone to me, I will give you a call after the finish. “

On the phone I heard someone shouting her name, “Ouch, I have to go to the aerobics competition,” Shen Ting remembered my phone, urged me: “Be sure to turn on the phone at night ah, do not suddenly disappear again.”

Liu Fang and I went into the “Heihe Tang”, which is a large shopping center opened by the Japanese, the inside of the brilliant, luxurious decorations, we walked around in the crowd, but could not think of anything to buy, the first floor of the counter of all kinds of cosmetic products, a wide range of aroma. I felt bored.

The phone rang again and I managed to squeeze out of the noisy crowd. Walking to the door, it was Suja calling, asking what we were doing and if we had bought our tickets back yet.

“Bought it,” I said sullenly, “leaving the day after tomorrow, Liu Fang and I just got up and are shopping.”

“Did Leng Jia call you afterward?”

“No, forget it, there is no point in dwelling on it,” I was very negative: “What can we do if we fight or not? The day after tomorrow, we all live in their own world, I do not know when to see you again.”

She felt my emotional depression, silent for a while, “Han Jiang, we are friends after all, I don’t want you to go back and feel that this time to Changsha is very meaningless, you are happy Well, at noon I invite you to dinner.”

“I’m fine,” I feel a little embarrassed, laughed: “or we invite you, but I don’t want to affect you and Liu Fang two, ‘three-way’ I’m not good at it, or you’re a pretty girl hookers talk about each. “

“Damn I have nothing to do with Liu Fang at all, don’t you talk nonsense,” Su Ya pretended to be angry and said: “I’ll bring you two pretty girls over, to have a ‘five man row’, to see how capable you are. “

I walked in and found Liu Fang, who was being anemic with a girl selling hair clips at one of the counters. He and I wandered around inside for a while longer, and walked to the door to wait for Sua to come over. The weather was cloudy and sunny, and I felt cold for a while, and hot for a while, too.

Suya just came out of the cab, we saw her from afar, Liu Fang pulled me to stand on the opposite side of the road and dialed Suya’s cell phone, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, please look across the street from you.” Liu Fang said mysteriously.

“Don’t fucking waste my phone bill.” Sua looked up and saw us.

“Just look for someone, why are you looking around.” Liu Fang laughed and said to Suya who walked over.

We followed Suya into the restaurant and saw a tall, thin girl, “Mei,” Suya introduced us and told us, “She’s a good girl, don’t talk nonsense.”

We circled around in the Sell Dango, didn’t find a seat, went back to Heiwa Hall, took the elevator to the fifth floor, where the whole floor was filled with restaurants, surrounded by a circle of snacks from various places, we found a place to sit down, not a lot of May’s words.

“I don’t like this kind of girl, too skinny,” Liu Fang said quietly to me when I went to buy food: “What do you think?”

“I’m having a bad day and I don’t want to think about it.”

We bought some messy stuff and served it back to our seats, and Suya and Liu Fang didn’t talk much, I don’t know if it was due to the joke I made on the phone. I didn’t eat much, after drinking a beer my face turned red and I was dizzy, but my mood was much better.

During the meal I took a close look at Mei, she is not the kind of girl who makes people feel very beautiful when they meet, but she is more durable, long and quite tasteful, her skin is very white, her legs were already long, and she was wearing high heels, which made her look even thinner, but the fact is that her body is quite good, and from the side, you can see the plump outlines of the breasts in her black half coat, I suddenly felt indifferent, and for that I was satisfied.

There were not many words between her and Sua, she belonged to the kind of girl whose character was a bit quiet, I was surprised because her face had a very heavy dusty look, very flattering, the kind that could easily arouse a man’s desire, but her demeanor didn’t match the look, and I curiously examined her eyes, confirming that she was really a decent girl, and that all those false images on the outside had come from somewhere.

After dinner, we took a taxi to the Overseas Chinese Friendship Shopping Center, where we met Mei’s good friend Zhao Rong, who had rented a counter on the third floor to do shoe business, and hired a few people to help her. While waiting for Zhao Rong to change her clothes, Sua and Mei sat inside the counter and chatted, and Liu Fang and I wandered around in the shoe city and found it an eye-opening experience.

We went downstairs out of the mall, I asked Suya where to go, Suya said to go to Hunan Economic Television station opposite the “famous classic coffee language tea” to sit, I’ve been to that kind of place in Shenzhen, is a franchise from Taiwan, the environment is quite good, I know that Suya is quite righteous, she felt that I’m not in a good mood, and purposely bring a few friends over to accompany! I know Suya is quite righteous, she thinks I am in a bad mood, and specially brought a few friends over to accompany us.

Tea place is not far from the mall, we are walking over, the three of them walked in front, Zhao Rong is a very mature kind of girl, plump and voluptuous, the skin is not very good, but it is still pretty, she is wearing a red jacket, tight jeans show the rounded buttocks, I know Liu Fang likes this kind of girl.

“You lure that crane away for me first.” Liu Fang leapt into action, fist pumping me.

Almost to the time of the famous ceremony my phone rang, it is Leng Jia called, I was very surprised, she asked me where, my emotions have long since calmed down, did not ask her why last night did not pick up my phone thing, I said that I and Liu Fang in the shopping, I did not mention Sua, because I do not know if Sua wants Leng Jia know that we asked someone else to play together, even if Sua does not care, by her own to Leng Jia said perhaps better.

Leng Jia didn’t say too much about what happened, she just told me that she was at home and had just woken up from a nap, implying to me that she wasn’t busy right now, I hesitated and asked her to meet me, and she agreed, and I was very happy, no matter what, I hope that the two of us will have a chance to communicate seriously, even if it’s just a game, in the end, I mean, she has to be accountable to me.

I hung up the phone and walked into Mingdian, they had already sat down and were ordering tea. The atmosphere of Mingdian was quite good, with a bright and clear store, clean and elegant wooden tables and chairs, and a row of chairs leaning against the wall was a kind of soft sofa like a swing frame, suspended by a steel wire, so that it could be swung to and fro, and there was a wooden sign beside the door, which was the most characteristic apology revelation of Mingdian: “I’m sorry, but please forgive us for selling wine in order for you to taste the aroma of Mingdian tea. Sorry, but in order for you to savor the aroma of Meidian’s tea, we do not sell alcohol.

I sat down in the seat next to them and greeted them with a smile, “What’s wrong, crying?” Zhao Rong was very cheerful and made fun of me as soon as we met, the most noticeable part of my redness after drinking was the circles under my eyes.

“Well,” I nodded shyly ∶ “I heard that the earth exploded this year and the world is coming to an end, and I’m worried about the fate of mankind.”

Everyone laughed, and Liu Fang asked them, “If the world was really going to end, what would you do five minutes before the explosion?”

“What would you do?” Zhao Rong asked Liu Fang rhetorically.

“I will find a woman and make love to her like crazy.” Liu Fang’s native spirit is admirable.

“Yeah?” I asked curiously, “Then what are you doing with the remaining four minutes?”

Eight Days and Seven Nights of Xiang Daughter’s Many Loves (VIB)

After a few jokes and laughs, we got to know each other very well, and Liu Fang started talking about his childhood again, and I knew that he liked the aunt who lived next door at that time, and that aunt was a pedophile.

I discussed in a low voice in Suya’s ear, “Tan Jianjun is back, I have to go to his place to get some money, I’ve spent almost all my money in the past few days, I’ll be back in an hour.” I lied with her, because I don’t know if Leng Jia is willing to let Suya know that we are meeting again, even if she is willing, it would be better for her to tell Suya by herself.

Sewa nodded, the excuse to take the money was too filling.

“I’m sorry, you guys chat for a while, I’ll be right back after I run some errands,” I gently interrupted their chatting, “I’ve got a pot of soup boiling at home, I’ll just turn off the heat and come back.”

I went out to take a taxi, to the door of the Martyrs Park, Leng Jia has not yet arrived, I will sit on the roadside railing, humming a little song, the public holidays are not yet over, the door is still a lot of people in and out of the park, I looked away from the park scenery, as if there is a monument, can not see clearly, Changsha’s history is also a few to see the sword, modern history of the Hunan people made a big splash, they really have a force of the tenacity of the people to be admired.

I took out three five, there are only two in it, I lit a, calculating a moment and Leng Jia said something, looked down and surveyed his clothes, still passable, just feel that I may not look too good today, and waited for ten minutes, I put the other cigarette is also finished, Leng Jia has not yet come, I took out my cell phone, dialed her phone.

“I’m sorry, the TV station is in a bit of a hurry, I’m on my way to the unit, I can’t see you, have you arrived at Martyrs Park already?” Leng Jia’s voice came from the phone.

A strong feeling of being played with came over me, “Why didn’t you call me earlier to tell me?” I tried to sound as calm as possible.

“Not yet have the time to do so, just packed things down, was about to call you it, I to the unit to do things and then contact you.”

I hung up the phone hopelessly, calculating the credibility of her words, she is not necessary to deliberately deceive me to run this trip, there is nothing good for her, it should be that she does have an urgent matter, but not the TV station is only God knows, I think I am even quite smart people, from a young age, poetry and song can not be forgotten, and in the community has been practicing for several years, but I still can not guess these Changsha girl’s heart.

I went back to Meidian, they were chatting happily and had already drunk several pots of tea, and Liu Fang was presently learning some of the jokes he had heard from Leng Jia.

“Is the fire off?” They asked as they watched me come in.

“It’s off.” I asked for a glass of plain water for myself, I have a problem with drunken tea, and drinking it makes me dizzy.

The service lady poured me a cup of water, I touched it, it is cool water, is thirsty, I picked up the cup and drank it all, pulled out a handful of coins on the table, “this day out of the blue,” I called the waiter: “Miss, and a cup of plain water.”

Classical environment allows people to stay very comfortable, we speak in a very slow tone of voice, a variety of chat to which counts, Zhao Rong and Liu Fang often have amazing words, Mei and I are not too much to talk about, the sun gradually fell, golden sunlight from the window scattered in, gently fall on our shoulders, I sat for a while, I feel the mood gradually relax, life also has some very good feeling, the key is what kind of mindset you hold! I suddenly had an epiphany.

Suya suddenly talked about the fact that I can read palms, Mei was very interested and took out her hand for me to see, I looked at her right hand and then her left hand, her palm lines were simple and distinct, not messy, “Many people misunderstand that you’re quite a womanizer, but in fact, you’re not, you’re a B-type blood type, aren’t you?” I asked her and she nodded, “You’re very good to your boyfriend in your heart, but you show very little initiative, you’ve never even said the words ‘I love you’ to him face to face.” I said honestly.

“You’re a bit of an evil man.” May said.

“No, no,” I said modestly: “I’m just talking nonsense, the Yangtze River pushes forward the waves, in the future it depends on your waves.”

We sat for a long time with nothing to do, drank too much water, and took turns running upstairs to go to the bathroom, “Yo, go in person ah, such a small matter we can do it for you, do you still need to personally go out?” Liu Fang wanted to go, but Zhao Rong and I sat outside to keep out of the way.

“Hurry up hurry up, this can only be done by me, no one else can go.” Liu Fang said anxiously.

“Xiaoming once missed class,” I remembered a joke, told them: “The teacher asked him why he went, Xiaoming said he took the boar to the breeding, ‘Why does not your father go?’ The teacher asked strangely, and Ming said: ‘It has to be the boar, no one else can go.'”

When Leng Jia called again, it had been more than two hours, I walked to the door to set the phone, Leng Jia asked me where I was, I said I was near the Rolling Stone, she said she would be right over.

I walked back to Meidian, embarrassed that I was going to be out for a little while longer, “Is the other pot of soup going to be off the heat too?” Zhao Rong asked me with a smile.

“No,” I said a little worriedly, “I just remembered that I hadn’t been back for a day, and I forgot to leave food for Jon.”

“Who’s Jon?” May asked curiously.

“Don’t mind him, he’s sick,” said Liu Fang: “Xiao Qiang is a mosquito he raised.”

I smiled at them, frowned, turned and went out the door, to the opposite side of the Rolling Stones disco door to wait for Leng Jia, no cigarettes, I went to the roadside kiosk to ask how much China, I know that it is usually thirty dollars, that ugly and old lady boss heard my Mandarin, told me thirty-five a pack.

I turned around and walked away.

Leng Jia came very quickly, after the meeting we are a little embarrassed, walking slowly along the sidewalk from Hunan Grand Theater to Tongcheng Building, I remembered that our company’s office in Hunan is in the Tongcheng Building, which is currently the best hotel in Changsha, but the two domestic and foreign market systems, I’m not familiar with my colleagues in the local office.

The two of us walked in silence through a few intersections and stopped in front of a billboard.

“I didn’t do anything wrong, I can’t be blamed.” I said sincerely as I looked at her.

“Then who is to blame, always looking for someone to blame ah.” Leng Jia looked into the distance, expressionless, this is the first time I’ve seen her so serious, I think she still looks better when she smiles.

“It’s not that I’m new to the world, Lihoe and I ended a long time ago.”

“But she and I aren’t over, Li Ho is my best friend, we’ve known each other for six years,” Leng Jia finally turned her head to look at me: “I had hoped that she’d be able to come to terms with this, so I went to her store, but…”

“She said some bad things about me, didn’t she?” A small smile spreads across the corners of my mouth.

“Bad words?” Leng Jia looked at me with surprise: “She didn’t say anything bad about you, she just said a lot to me as a good friend, she thinks that the two of us don’t fit together, you’re a very dangerous person, if I really fall in love with you I’ll be in deep shit, she’s genuinely for my own good, I think she’s making a lot of sense.”

“So you’re not in love with me yet.” I said playfully as I took her hand.

“You men like to make a fool of yourselves,” Leng Jia also laughed: “I don’t want to lose years of friendship, I came to see you and feel sorry for Li He.”

“I really don’t have anything to do with her anymore.” I pulled her soft body over me and lowered my head to kiss her.

“I’ll leave if you keep this up, there are so many people, maybe someone knows me.” Leng Jia laughed and pushed me away.

We were discussing where to go when Leng Jia’s phone rang and she walked away from me to answer it. I didn’t care and stood on the side of the road, looking at Dawn’s photo in the advertisement light box, an advertisement for Lepak’s mineral water.

She spoke for a long time on the phone, and I waited rather patiently, her slim figure in the shade seeming far away, and after a little while more she came hurrying over, ignoring me, and went down the road to stop a cab.

“Do you have something to go first?” I asked calmly, years of wandering had long ago made me impervious to change.

“Yeah, you don’t want to see me again.” She said just as calmly, slamming the car door shut and heading off.

I stood woodenly on the steps, watching people come and go, wondering what I was doing.

I walked back slowly, the anger and frustration in my heart was hard to express, I wanted to call her and say something desperate, but as I passed by the entrance of the Rolling Stones, I could hear a familiar song, “Farewell to this person beside me, in response to the broken lines on my palm…” My heart instantly softened, forget about it, there is no one I like in the first place, and who has ever been serious in this world? Who has ever been serious in this world? Compared to the pain I felt back then, this was nothing. Maybe Leng Jia was right, friendship is always more reliable than love.

I forced myself to laugh out loud when I was almost in the famous dictionary. It was quite funny to think that I was like the girl who was fucked and dumped by others… Isn’t this world the opposite of what it used to be?

Liu Fang and the others had changed seats and were eating, so I walked over to them while putting my cell phone to my ear and pretending to make a call, “New York? Dump my five million dollars.” I exaggerated.

“Tell me more tell me more, to blow yet not blow a real.” Zhao Rong smiled and greeted me.

“Are you rich?” May asked innocently.

“No, do I look like I have money?” I really said: “If I had money, I would have asked Bing Bing to go.”

“Damn I just want to have money,” said Suya, full of reverie: “The best thing is to do nothing, every day money.”

“The same,” I said, “how many people’s dreams, and want the horse to run, but also want the horse does not eat grass.”

We ate at Meidian and sat around for a while, getting ready to go to Phoenix, “Xie Hui is also in Changsha, do you remember her?” In the cab, Suya asked me, Liu Fang took Zhao Rongmei in another car.

“Seems like I remember, I think I saw her once during a poker game, but I’m not impressed, I heard she married a Taiwanese guy, didn’t she?”

“Yes, that man is over forty, she lives in Taiwan for a period of time and comes back for a period of time, she said that she was bored to death over there in Taiwan, we used to always hang out together, but now she’s changed a lot, she hangs out at the bar every day, and when she meets a boy she can see, she’ll bring him back, she’s coming over tonight too, don’t mention the Taiwanese thing to her.” Suya instructed me.

The road in front of the Phoenix gate has been repaired, the five of us went up the steps, and met Xie Hui at the entrance of the second floor, her makeup is very thick, I remember that at first she seemed to have some good looks, and now she looks ordinary, just walking in a very enchanting way.

“Xie Hui, remember me?” I greeted her with a smile.

“Han Jiang, right, you seem to have lost weight.” Xie Hui’s demeanor wasn’t as flippant as I thought it would be, but rather elegant and calm.

“It’s been a while.” I said, walking inside with the girls.

“Yeah, we even played poker together that time, and Sua said you were smart enough to play once you learned.”

Inside there have been a lot of people, we found a seat next to the dance floor, Zhao Rong and Mei’s drinking is good, I propose to drink TEQUILA when they applauded, this is the third bottle I drank in Changsha, not like in the Shennong Villa that time some of the fear of wine, salt and lemon has not yet been brought, I drank a cup first, suddenly recalled the words of the Divine Eagles in the Yang Zi: “spicy and sour taste is not beautiful, but a man’s nature. Spicy and sour, like a knife in the mouth, the flavor is not beautiful, but it is a man’s true colors.”

Not yet to the time of the disco, a girl with long hair cape is sitting on the stage next to the piano, elegant attire and the environment here is very disproportionate, until she played a few songs away, out of a few third-rate singers flirting with the show, I just breathed a sigh of relief, this is like the place of entertainment, you make us so noble, so that I can how to vent their feelings.

May be too much chat in the afternoon, we sat there did not say much, a little indifferent to look at the host of the sensational on stage, the wine is down very quickly, I think that after a few days of exercise, the amount of their own alcohol has indeed progressed, a few cups of TEQUILA go down, refreshingly nothing, I went to the restroom, found the men’s restroom door is written on the “waterfall viewing pavilion! I went to the restroom, found the men’s room door is written on the “Waterfall Viewing Pavilion”, I think it is very innovative, when I came out of the women’s restroom door, which is written “Listening to the rain”.

By the time I finished the bottle of tequila, I felt the booze finally coming on, and didn’t dare touch the two pints of beer, the disco music was blaring, the lights were starting to flicker and waver, Zhao Rong and Mei were chatting about something in Changsha, and Suya and Xie Hui were dragging Liu Fang and I to the dance, “What’s going on with Mei?

Not a lot of words but a lot of wine.” I asked Sua with a smile.

“Her boyfriend is quite a womanizer, always going out and playing, it’s not good for her,” Suya turned back and glanced at Mei: “Don’t let her drink it in a while.”

“That is her own willingness,” Liu Fang said: “change one is not finished.”

“Damn feelings of things so easy, say change just change?” Su Ya scolded Liu Fang: “Do you think everyone is as elegant as you are, she quite likes her boyfriend.”

I noticed that Xie Hui didn’t say a word, so maybe she’s the one who really came through.

The atmosphere on the dance floor is getting more and more enthusiastic, some people are violently shaking their heads, I do not know whether they ate the kind of what “ecstasy”, a few of us are also feeling leaked, under the stimulation of alcohol, twisting to their heart’s content, there are a lot of people, dancing is very crazy, there are a few Changsha men beside us, one of them crowded in Xie Hui’s body mooching, his several partners also obscene smile. A few partners also obscene smile, Xie Hui do not know is not care, or drink too much did not feel, the man is more and more over the top, I feel very annoyed, damn if she came alone you want to how to soak how to soak, in front of us on the face of the dare to do so, I slowly move the body over to the elbow to bump away from the man, he turned back to bump me, I heart fire, lifting the leg is a foot.

“What are you doing?” The man stumbled and looked back at me, not daring to come over.

“Fuck you, what did you say for.” I cursed in Northeastern.

Liu Fang and Su Ya hastily pulled me away, the other’s friend also pulled him away, a few of them may be self-conscious of the loss, and look at me out of the way very decisive look, can not feel the way, did not dwell on what, moved to another place to jump to go.

“Don’t make trouble.” Liu Fang said to me.

“Nothing.” I held back and didn’t tell the truth, this kind of thing, dead or alive, maybe I was drunk and looked at it wrong, there was no point in saying it, besides I didn’t want to get into trouble, I’m an outsider, and I’m out to have fun.

The crowd was crowded, our brief clash did not attract the attention of others, Liu Fang and I continued to dance, blood raging in our faces and bodies, we danced wildly to the powerful music had forgotten each other’s existence, I closed my eyes, unable to wave away in my mind suddenly young and suddenly old face, flashing lights, the answer can not be predicted.

I don’t know how many times I danced, I staggered back to my seat, May was drunk and leaning on the back of the chair, “This is for five thousand,” one of my hands rested on my face, “This is for ten thousand,” I rested my face on my two hands, I gave May a lesson on the quotes in the duck store, teasing her to be She didn’t seem to hear my words, and the tears slowly flowed down from her eyes.

I was bored, what a happy night, the disco was over and a gentle slow song was played, Xie Hui suddenly appeared by my side and pulled me to dance, she was close to me and when she kissed me I saw her face was snow white and her lips were bright red. “Headache? Drink so much, would you like to go to my place and have some fruit to wake up?” Her hints and invitations were graceful and subdued.

“No,” I said carefully, shaking my head gently, “I’m not in good shape today, and I’m afraid we all won’t be able to enjoy ourselves.”

In fact, my heart is full of desire, Shennong Villa of happiness and satisfaction, alcohol stimulation under the excitement and desire, trying to control the anger and excitement, I do not know what I am doing in the decadence and sadness, converged into a strong impulse to drown me, I feel that I need a woman, but I can not, I struggled to float, I can accept all the degradation and the reality, but I can not repress the beautiful innocence of the desire and pursuit. yearning and pursuit, I suddenly remembered Wu Yu, there is a cool feeling in my heart, all the hustle and bustle gradually faded away, the feeling of red wine and green paper drunkenness even turned into a kind of depression, “you can’t really ruin yourself”, I took a deep breath and said to myself.

I found Liu Fang, who was flirting with Zhao Rong, in the corner of the dance floor, “I’m drunk, I’ll go back to the hotel first, you guys have fun, if Suya and the girls ask about me you explain for me.”

In the cab I gave Shen Ting a phone call, she is still busy, can not come over, my heart actually has a very relaxed feeling, this is the best, so that you will always remember me in the beginning.

I went back to the hotel, opened the door to my room, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep, not knowing what it was that made me so drunk.
