As the night gradually deepens, those gorgeous lights are gradually turned on, and the whole city is instantly bathed in various lights.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the night view of half of the city, it feels really wonderful.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Huang Li and I sat opposite each other at a round table.
On the table are some red wine and steak.
The light in the room is dimmed very dark, which feels really good and makes people feel that the level has improved a lot.
Huang Li and I drank red wine and watched the night view, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
I asked her: "Have you confirmed the hotel's opening time?"
"Well," she nodded and said to me, "after the Chinese New Year, the reservation is for March 1st, which is the 18th day of the first lunar month of the New Year."
"Okay, then I will definitely come back then."
"What about you?" Huang Li asked me again, "How have you been lately? That Min Wenbin didn't come to mess with you again, right?"
"No, I haven't heard from him recently."
Huang Li sneered: "He is afraid. I warned him that if he comes to trouble you again, don't blame me for being rude."
At that moment, I was shocked by Huang Li's aura. No one would have thought that a woman who looked pretty on the surface could be so ruthless.
I have seen Huang Li's cruelty with my own eyes.
I clinked glasses with her, took a sip of wine and said, "But I'm still worried about you. He's quite insidious and I'm afraid he'll come to trouble you."
Huang Li smiled disdainfully and said: "I said that if he dares to come to me for trouble, I will kill him. I will put my words here today."
"Look at you, you've already decided to live a happy life, and you're still ready to fight and kill."
"You're used to it, you can't change it."
"If you can't change it, you must change it. Remember that this is a society ruled by law."
"So what? Sometimes you have to rely on your fists to solve some troubles."
I admit that Huang Li is right, violence can really solve many problems in many cases.
But the price paid is often the heaviest. If there is a better way to solve a problem, then another way will naturally be chosen.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, so as not to affect our mood. The night is so nice tonight, let's be happy."
As I said that, I picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Huang Li.
The crisp sound of the clinking wine glasses perfectly blended with the environment at this moment.
After three rounds of drinking, we were almost done drinking and eating.
Just watching the night view and chatting wordlessly, it was rare for me to be as relaxed as I am now.
Huang Li suddenly asked me: "By the way, it's been a while since your girlfriend passed away. Have you come out?"
"Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I know you don't want me to ask, but I have to ask. You have to face these problems, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get over it in your life."
I smiled bitterly, picked up the glass and took a sip of wine, and then replied lightly: "I feel that I have come out a lot, but I have not come out completely. I always think of her inexplicably. And, I feel
She's not dead."
Huang Li withdrew coldly and said: "What you are saying is so wrong. I think you should find a new love so that you can gradually forget about her."
"How is that possible! I'm not interested in these romantic things at all now, or I'm not interested in women anymore."
"It's not that you're not interested, it's that you haven't met the one that interests you yet."
"No, no, no," I disagreed. "There are so many beauties around me, including you, but I really haven't had any thoughts about anyone."
"Your girlfriend's name is An Lan, right? What's so good about her?"
Huang Li has indeed never met An Lan, so naturally she doesn't understand her either.
I still have a photo of An Lan in my phone. It was when we set off for Tibet and she was on a business trip in Hangzhou. I asked her to take a photo of me without makeup.
I immediately pulled out the photo, handed it to Huang Li and said, "This is her."
Huang Li took my phone and looked at it carefully, and said at the same time: "It's so beautiful, no wonder you are so sad."
"No, no, no, it's not just beauty. If it's just beauty, I believe there are many more beautiful than her in the world. What I like is the unique feeling on her body."
"I can see that you like her very much."
I suddenly fell into silence again, and then looked at Nanbin Road out of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.
At my feet right now, the night market street where I often go shopping with An Lan is also at my feet. I seem to still be able to see her and I walking hand in hand on Nanbin Road.
I suddenly had the illusion that it was all a dream.
In her daze, Huang Li suddenly asked me again: "Seriously, Chen Feng, if you had never known her, have you ever thought about what you would be like now?"
I was suddenly stunned again, and after a long while I said: "I really haven't thought about this problem, it may affect my entire life in the future."
"I know it's impossible for you to pretend that nothing happened, but you always have to come out of this shadow. I see that you are not as active as before."
"Yes, I will come out sooner or later, but not now." As I said that, I picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
After putting down the glass, I looked at Huang Li, and then asked her: "Don't talk about me, talk about you. You are not much younger than me. Don't you plan to find a man to fall in love with?"
?”
"I never thought about it before, but I really think about it now, especially when I am lonely at night and there is no one to talk to."
"What type do you like? If I have a chance, I can help you look for it."
Huang Li thought briefly and then said: "Tall, handsome, and good-tempered."
"Then your request is not too high. If you go out and grab a lot, I'm afraid you haven't even thought about it yourself."
Huang Li laughed again and said: "Actually, my mother actually introduced me to someone, saying he was the son of one of her classmates, and his family was quite wealthy."
"Have we met?"
"Does it count if you've seen the photo?"
"Show me."
"No more, I deleted it."
"I can't catch your eye?"
Huang Li also picked up the wine glass and touched it with me. After taking a sip, she said: "He is a bit handsome. My mother said he is 1.8 meters tall. He used to be on the school basketball team."
"That's not bad! He's rich, tall, and a little handsome. Why don't you go meet such a top guy?"
"I'm not interested, he's not good enough for me."
I sneered and said, "After all, you are asking too much. Take my advice, time waits for no one. In two years, you will be thirty years old, and it will be even harder to find someone."
"Why is it so hard to find?"
"Do you think it's normal for someone to be unmarried at the age of thirty?"
"Why is this abnormal? Aren't you still single now?"
I chuckled and said, "I've been divorced! So after this hurdle, it's really hard to find a partner, especially for a woman like you, unless you find someone a little younger than yourself."
"Forget it, I don't like people who are younger than me."
While talking, Huang Li seemed a little impatient. She grabbed the wine glass and said to me: "Why are we talking about these things? Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have a drink."
After drinking it, I looked at the delicious red wine in the glass in front of me, the charming night view outside the window, and the peach-blossom smile of Huang Li opposite me.
I suddenly sighed: "It's true, I haven't felt this relaxed for a long time. I don't know why, but I feel particularly safe every time I'm with you."
