At 7 o'clock in the evening, I followed the crowded crowded streets, stepping on the light and shadow, and wanted to light a cigarette, but gave up. I just bought two meat skewers to relieve my cigarette addiction.

After eating two skewers, I bought a few small mashed balls, and I walked all the way, and then I forgot the things that bothered me and indulged in the relaxed world I deliberately created.

But when I almost walked to the coffee shop I had agreed with Li Xiaoyun, the relaxed world shattered in an instant, and I was pulled back to this real world that made me feel bored.

I threw the convenient bag of food in my hand into the trash can. I took a deep breath before walking into the coffee shop, imagining Li Xiaoyun's current appearance all the way, subconsciously I felt that she would change.

It was still the corner of the past. Li Xiaoyun was wearing a red jacket while drinking coffee while watching magazines, looking more stable than before.

I came to her, she looked up at me, then smiled and said, "Here you come!"

"Well, I've been walking all the way, I'm 5 minutes late, sorry!"

"It's okay, sit down."

I nodded and sat down opposite Li Xiaoyun. In order to hide the embarrassment that there was no topic to talk about, I ordered the good stuff and picked up a magazine and started reading it.

So Li Xiaoyun and I didn't say another word in 5 minutes, which made us look like we were just meeting at this moment.

Finally, Li Xiaoyun closed the magazine and asked me, "Zhaoyang, aren't we talking about anything? We're not strangers!"

I also closed the magazine, smiled and said, "Let's chat...How are you doing recently?"

Li Xiaoyun shook her head.

"Why, have you encountered difficulties in life?"

"I shook my head not because I was doing well or badly, but because I think you have changed. I don't seem to see the kind of unrestrained and free and easy things I had when I first met."

"Is that so? Then tell me what I look like now?"

"I was in a trance, helpless and a little cowardly... Am I right?"

I subconsciously looked at the glass window and saw the reflection of myself on it, but there was only a blurry outline. I couldn't tell whether I was trance or cowardly.

Li Xiaoyun reached out to wipe off some water vapor from the glass window, and my image suddenly became clear.

"Zhaoyang, your beard should be scratched! Your hair must be well taken care of, and taken care of."

I touched my chin, my hands were so tickled by my beard. I touched my hair again, and felt a little greasy. I faintly smelled of tobacco from my body. I couldn't help but admire myself. Even though I was so decadent, I dared to come out to date the girl.

I smiled apologetically at Li Xiaoyun again. In fact, a man was sloppy when dating a woman, which was disrespectful to women, but I didn't think so much about it. Maybe it was because we were very familiar with each other, or maybe it was because we had never thought about gaining favor in front of her in subconscious mind.

Li Xiaoyun suddenly stood up and said to me, "Let's go."

I looked at Li Xiaoyun in confusion and realized instantly that our date has ended here. I guess my decadent appearance will not arouse Li Xiaoyun's interest in chatting. After all, this is just a date to deal with family members, so why bother so seriously?

I went to the cashier to pay the bill, and then went downstairs with Li Xiaoyun. When I was about to say goodbye to her, she had already walked to the parking lot. I smiled helplessly and sighed in my heart: "Zhaoyang, Zhaoyang, what kind of bird do you look like now, making the women avoid it!"

I lit a cigarette, turned around and walked towards the other side of the street, but was blocked by Li Xiaoyun's car. Li Xiaoyun pressed the window and said to me, "Zhaoyang, hurry up and extinguish the cigarette, take you to the hair salon to clean up, clean it up!"

"Ah?" I didn't react for a moment and looked at Li Xiaoyun in a daze.

"Get into the car quickly. Men must be energetic, especially for the New Year, and they cannot look lifeless."

...

Li Xiaoyun drove me to a hairdressing shop in a shopping mall, and then I washed my hair first under the guidance of the waiter, and then started a long process of haircut and shaving. During this process, Li Xiaoyun sat by my side with me, and we started chatting.

This time I took the initiative to say to Li Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, you haven't told me how you've been doing during this period!"

Li Xiaoyun smiled and replied, "It's better to go to work like before, go home, and live a regular life every day. But more than two months is enough for people to figure out a lot of things."

Of course I knew that the two months Li Xiaoyun was talking about were two months after we broke up. After a silence of discomfort, I asked, "What have you figured out?"

"There is no need to tell you this. Let's talk about your life during this period. How is your friend's bar now?"

"It's not bad, I'm almost on track."

"Since your job is pretty good, your decadence must be related to your feelings, right?"

Li Xiaoyun is really a customer relationship management work and has a very delicate mind. At this moment, she did see through me, but I was not suitable to talk about emotional matters with her, so she smiled and remained silent. She didn't ask anything anymore, and said to me, "Go to the mall to buy something" and left temporarily.

With the efforts of the hairstylist, I finally changed my appearance after a moment, at least I didn't look so depressed. At almost the same time, Li Xiaoyun, who bought good things, returned to the hairdresser. She looked at me and expressed her gratitude to the hairstylist with satisfaction.

After leaving the hair salon, we stood side by side outside the mall. There was a lot of gap between the two bodies, but our reflections on the window were so intimate.

Li Xiaoyun took out a box of perfume from her handbag and handed it to me and said, "For you, this men's perfume is pretty good, it tastes very light, but it's enough to cover the tobacco smell on you."

"Xiao Yun, I'm really embarrassed to give me something, and it's also embarrassing!"

Li Xiaoyun said seriously: "You don't need to be embarrassed. The total cost of this box of perfume plus the hair salon just now is 562 yuan. Last time I took 1,000 yuan from you, so these are your own money."

After Li Xiaoyun reminded me, I remembered that she did take me 1,000 yuan when she broke up, but I never knew her motivation for taking the money.

Li Xiaoyun put the perfume back into the tote bag, then stuffed the tote bag into my hand, and said to me with a smile: "Zhaoyang, cheer up, think about the energetic self when working in Xuzhou. Until now, the leaders in the company are still feeling sorry for your departure! ... Life will definitely go through a trough, so the trough is not terrible. What is terrible is that you do not have the ability to get out of the trough, so I hope you can always maintain confidence and be a capable and attractive man!"

The long-lost touch seemed to melt my heart. I stared at Li Xiaoyun for a long time before saying, "Thank you, Xiaoyun, I'm very glad that I have the opportunity to accept your transformation tonight. I will remember this night."

"No need to thank me. In fact, you have made me understand some things, which is also a help to me. My current behavior is just to repay you!"

I was a little confused, wondering what I had made Li Xiaoyun figure out, but I had asked just now, but she didn't want to tell me.

Li Xiaoyun said to me again: "There is still 438 yuan here, which can cure your next decadence. Of course, I hope I won't use this money."

"I hope so."

Li Xiaoyun smiled, raised her hand and looked at the watch and said, "It's quite late, it's time for me to go back and rest."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Li Xiaoyun nodded, waved at me again, and then walked towards the underground parking lot of the mall. Looking at her leaving back, I felt inexplicably in my heart, and I felt even more ashamed of her good deeds to me. Suddenly, I was reluctant to take the engagement ring as a way to do it.
