An Lan smiled and said to me on the other end of the phone: "We have decided that we will depart from London for China the day after tomorrow. Then we will transfer directly to your city. I will call you when I transfer."
I also laughed immediately: "Okay! I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
"It was a bit unexpected, but it went quite smoothly."
"It seems like there's a lot of good news today. I can't wait to see you."
"Soon."
"It should still be noon over there. Have you eaten?"
"I was getting ready to eat when you called me."
"Then you go have dinner first, and we'll talk about it later in the evening."
"Okay, remember to take your medicine on time, gastric ulcers are something you can't take lightly."
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, I was in a pretty good mood, and I hadn't felt so happy in a long time.
First, it was confirmed that I did not have gastric cancer. Second, I would see An Lan soon. Third, I helped others in the hospital. I was also very happy.
By the time we returned to the ancient town, it was already half past seven in the evening.
Back at the inn, as soon as I reached the door, I heard the sound of a guitar coming from the courtyard inside.
What came next was A Liang's singing. He sang "The Story of Time" by Luo Dayou.
I was very moved when I heard this song. I stopped at the gate of the campus and listened to this song quietly.
In A Liang's hoarse cigarette voice, I seemed to have traveled back to my youth, a summer full of gardenias and sunshine...
But once you turn around, time becomes a story, and once you look back, time becomes scenery.
No one is young in life, the most generous gift time gives us is youth.
Youth is the blooming life of mountains and blue flowers, the joy and romance of embroidered hibiscus with a smile, the self-confidence that has been passed down through the ages, the sonorous power that soars up to ninety thousand miles, and the heroic and heroic spirit that can laugh several times in a lifetime.
unrestrained.
Looking back, I am already a fourth-year student, and the word youth has long become a thing of the past.
I have also changed from the sunny boy who loved basketball, mountain climbing, and adventure to a somewhat greasy middle-aged uncle.
When I heard this song, I was not only stunned, but even burst into tears.
It wasn't until A Liang finished singing the song that I reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes. After calming down, I walked in.
"It's so nice to sing! Let's play one more song." I clapped and walked into the courtyard.
A Liang looked at me, put down his guitar, stood up and said hello to me: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
I waved to him and said, "No, don't call me Mr. Chen here. Just like Old Tang, just call me Brother Chen."
Boss Tang also greeted me hurriedly: "Why are you back? Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, have you eaten?"
"Oops! Look, we thought you weren't coming back to eat in the evening. We just finished eating. What happened?"
"It's okay, just heat it up and eat it."
Everyone laughed in unison, and Tang Ling said: "Brother Chen, my brother lied to you. We haven't eaten yet, but it's already cooked. I'm going to serve the food now."
I glanced at Old Tang and said, "I told you, Old Tang, that you are dishonest!"
Everyone laughed and passed by. After sitting down, A Liang and I started chatting.
I heard from him that after the previous tavern closed, he went to Dali to make a living, but the business there had become commercialized, and it was actually difficult for them to gain a foothold there.
It’s not that he came back because he couldn’t survive, A Liang is still very popular there, but he doesn’t like the arranged and planned life there.
So several friends decided to come back and build a bar together, and Old Tang also planned to join them.
I listened to their ideas and thought they were very good, and A Liang also had his own ideas.
It was almost as I expected, they also wanted to open a bar that was unique, a bar that could embrace all rivers and accommodate different groups of people.
After dinner, we kept talking about this matter.
I told them that what I wanted was to open a separate unit for them in the resort town after it was built.
What I even want to do is to let them run it themselves, and I will only provide investment and specific management.
We chatted until 10:30 in the evening. We had a very good chat. They also accepted my opinions and I also listened to their ideas.
If you are engaged in a career, if you coincide with each other, maybe you can create a different spark.
I also told A Liang and the others that the first phase of the resort town will be completed by the end of this year, and they will be able to move in directly by then.
During this time, let them prepare first, including the future positioning of the bar, as well as publicity and facilities in the bar.
After discussing it, we chatted casually about other things. It wasn't until 11 o'clock in the evening that I went back to the room to wash up.
I was preparing to watch the last two episodes of the TV series tonight. As soon as I turned on the computer, Li Kun's voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother, are you still asleep?"
I went to open the door for him and asked him, "What's wrong? Akun."
He smiled at me and said, "Brother, are you free tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? What's wrong?"
He smiled again and said, "I made an appointment with Xiaoyu today, and we will go shopping together tomorrow."
"Well, that's good! By the way, did you have a good time getting along today?"
"It's just not pleasant..."
"What's wrong?" I asked confused.
"I can't speak a little, and I often have nothing to say. She seems a little unhappy."
"It's okay, you can just find a topic to talk to her about. See if she agrees to go shopping with you tomorrow."
"I said I would ask you to come with me."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did you call me on a date?"
Li Kun sighed and said, "Xiaoyu said it. She said that I should stay with you to protect you and should not leave you alone in the hospital, so she may think that I am a little irresponsible!"
I'm really speechless, but from these words, I feel that Cao Xiaoyu really doesn't like Li Kun.
Otherwise, she wouldn't say such things, but I feel like she cares about me more.
In fact, I'm not stupid, I have noticed a long time ago that she treats me completely differently from Li Kun, and she is even closer to me.
I smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't go tomorrow, will she stop going to the mall with you?"
"I don't know, maybe!" Li Kun lowered his head helplessly.
I am also quite helpless. It seems that I have to have a good talk with Cao Xiaoyu. She can't do this, and I have to let her know what I mean.
After hesitating for a while, I said to Li Kun: "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow!"
Li Kun immediately raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, I'm sorry to bother you."
He was so humble, so humble. He didn't even seem to know what Cao Xiaoyu meant by doing this.
I smiled bitterly and nodded to him.
After Li Kun returned to his room, I also closed the door. I wanted to call Cao Xiaoyu now to clarify.
But I thought, some things should be discussed in person.
Li Kun is really too humble. If Cao Xiaoyu really has no feelings for Li Kun, it is best not to continue. This is unfair to Li Kun.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I got back to bed, Cao Xiaoyu called me.
