When Zuo Yi and Gao Feng walked out of the Regent Hotel and stood on the roadside to hail a taxi, Guo Yao stumbled over.
She looked very embarrassed, all the makeup on her face was smudged, there were obvious tear stains on her face, her smudged eye shadow looked like a clown, her hair was disheveled and she was carrying her bag, and one of the high heels under her feet was nowhere to be found.
Already.
Guo Yao's expression was very complicated, with shame, anger and despair intertwined, making her originally pretty face become distorted.
Gao Feng turned around and looked at her, his eyes full of disappointment and pain.
Zuo Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette, and you can have a good talk with her."
No matter how strong Zuo Yi is, he can't help his good friends solve their emotional problems, let alone such a thing.
Even a man can’t bear it!
Gao Feng nodded silently.
Zuo Yi walked forward along the sidewalk for a while, and then stood by the flower bed on the roadside. He took out a cigarette and lighter from the space ring, and lit a cigarette for himself.
Zuo Yi is not a smoker and rarely smokes, but sometimes he will light one.
After taking two puffs of cigarette, Zuo Yi accidentally looked back at Gao Feng.
With his ability, it is very easy to hear the conversation between two people even from such a long distance.
But Zuo Yi just watched from a distance and had no intention of trying to find out anything.
A few minutes later, before Zuo Yi had finished smoking, Feng Feng walked over alone.
His eye circles were red.
Zuo Yi wordlessly lit a cigarette and handed it to him.
As a friend, there is no need to talk or ask at this time. A cigarette is the best comfort to him.
"Thank you."
Gao Feng took the cigarette and took a long drag, swallowing it into his lungs before exhaling.
"Cough cough cough!"
He was choked, choked to the point of breaking his heart, and choked to tears!
Zuo Yi glanced at him and took the cigarette back from his hand, not wanting his friend to choke to death on the cigarette.
Gao Feng smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's too much."
Zuo Yi raised his head and took a puff of cigarette, then ignored him.
"Lao Zuo."
After a while, Gao Feng asked: "Can you accompany me for two more drinks?"
His voice was very hoarse.
"no problem."
Zuo Yi replied without thinking: "You can drink as long as you want, I will arrange the place."
After wiping out the cigarette in his hand and throwing it into the trash can next to him, he reached out and stopped a passing taxi, pulling Gao Feng into the car with him: "Master, please go to Jingyuan Community."
Gao Feng looked at Zuo Yi in surprise, but didn't ask.
When the taxi arrived at the gate of Jingyuan Community, Zuo Yi said to the driver: "Master, please wait here for about ten minutes. You will pay the fee. Thank you."
He then said to Gao Feng: "Just wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon."
Gao Feng couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"
Zuo Yi smiled and said: "My daughter is at my wife's house. I'll go over and say something and I'll be back."
Gao Feng felt guilty: "Then I'd better go back by myself."
His mood has calmed down a lot now.
"no."
Zuo Yi said: "You have to wait for me. If I agree to drink with you, I will accompany you. My daughter can stay at my wife's house at night."
After speaking, Zuo Yi opened the door and got out of the car, walking to Liang Xuemei's home.
When I got there, I knocked on the door and it was Shang Yulin who opened the door.
The time was just right, not past eleven o'clock.
Shang Yulin was surprised: "You are so punctual. I thought you weren't coming, so I was just about to call you."
She let Zuo Yi in and lowered her voice and said, "Bao'er has already gone to bed. Why don't you let her sleep with me?"
"good."
Zuo Yi nodded and said, "I'll take a look at her and then leave."
If other people encountered this situation, they could just call Shang Yulin and tell him, but Zuo Yi couldn't.
Zuo Yi promised Bao'er to pick her up before eleven o'clock, and of course he had to keep his word.
Keeping promises is a very important virtue and belief. No matter how small it is, if you break your promise, you will lose a lot of faith.
The promise will only be fulfilled when others come over. If you let Bao'er live here, there will be no problem.
At this time, Liang Xuemei had also fallen asleep. Zuo Yi followed Shang Yulin quietly to her boudoir without alerting his wife.
Shang Yulin's room is very warmly decorated. Although she usually shows a strong side in the martial arts gym, in her own little nest, her true character can be judged through the decoration of the bedroom.
The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and the temperature was adjusted to just right. The little girl was sleeping on the bed, covered with a thin quilt.
Taike was lying beside the bed, and when he saw Zuo Yi, he immediately wagged his tail obsequiously.
Pippi squatted on the bay window and fell asleep.
Zuo Yi sat down on the edge of the bed, staring at his favorite little person with the faint light of the desk lamp, his heart full of tenderness.
He lowered his head and kissed Bao'er on the forehead.
"Um."
Unexpectedly, the little girl woke up from the kiss and half-opened her eyes in a daze: "Dad."
"Well…"
Zuo Yi said softly: "Baby, daddy has something else to do. Can you sleep here with sister Yulin tonight?"
Bao'er nodded: "Yes."
"good."
Zuo Yi couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her again, and said, "Go to sleep."
Baoer closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
It seems that I slept more peacefully.
Zuo Yi continued to sit for a while, then stood up and said to Shang Yulin who had been standing at the door: "Senior sister, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Shang Yulin said angrily: "Why are you being so polite to me?"
After a pause, she added: "My mother likes Bao'er very much, and so do I. If you have anything to do, just go. I'll take her to the martial arts gym tomorrow morning, so don't worry."
Zuo Yi nodded: "Well, then I'll go."
He left Shang Yulin's house and when he returned to the gate of the community, the taxi was still parked there.
Zuo Yi opened the car door, got in, and said to the driver: "Master, go to Yanzi Lane."
Yanzi Lane is a famous late-night snack street in Hangzhou. It brings together snacks and delicacies from all over the world, with rich varieties, low prices and good quality. When they were in college, Zuo Yi and Gao Feng would come here from time to time to have a meal, and they often came here after graduation.
Come.
Still in the most familiar barbecue restaurant, Zuo Yi ordered two to three hundred meat and vegetable skewers in one go, and asked the waiter to deliver three boxes of West Lake beer.
Sitting down in his seat, Zuo Yi picked up two bottles of beer and unscrewed the caps, then handed one to Gao Feng: "Here!"
Large bottles of West Lake beer were once their favorite. The taste was good and the price was very cheap. Zuo Yi was not short of money, but what he drank was this familiar taste.
Gao Feng took the beer and clinked the bottle with Zuo Yi: "Do it!"
There was a large bottle full of beer, and both of them blew into it, drinking it all in one go!
"Cool!"
Gao Feng put down the empty wine bottle, wiped the foam from his mouth, and said: "I drink it, but Hu Beer is the best!"
Zuo Yi smiled and said: "Now that I'm back, we can come here often to drink."
Gao Feng was silent.
After a long time, he finally said: "Lao Zuo, I broke up with Guo Yao."
Zuo Yi nodded: "Yeah."
If such a woman doesn't separate herself, she still keeps wearing a hat?
Gao Feng swallowed and continued: "I plan to resign tomorrow and go to Spring City."
"Spring City?"
Zuo Yi was surprised: "Why do you want to go there?"
Gao Feng is not a native of Hangcheng, but Spring City is not his hometown either.
"Where is Zhao Lili."
Gao Feng's answer shocked Zuo Yi: "Are you planning to recover Zhao Lili?"
"No."
Gao Feng shook his head: "I won't go find her, I just want to live in the same city as her."
Zuo Yi was speechless.
Zuo Yi has understood that Gao Feng has never really forgotten his ex-girlfriend from beginning to end.
Maybe he and Guo Yao got married, had children and settled down, and time would wear away this unforgettable relationship.
However, Guo Yao betrayed him.
Gao Feng smiled bitterly: "Lao Zuo, do you think I'm stupid?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi gave an honest answer: "You are not ordinary stupid, so I won't advise you to drink."
He opened two more bottles of beer.
Someone was performing outside the alley, playing guitar and singing sad songs.
"An outstanding person like me should have lived a brilliant life, but how come he is still drifting in the sea of people after more than 20 years?"
"A smart person like me has long since bid farewell to innocence. Why do I still use a relationship to exchange for scars?"
"A confused person like me, a searching person like me, a mediocre person like me..."
Gao Feng took a swig of beer and shed tears unconsciously.
