After staying in Xuzhou for another day, Mi Cai and I returned to Suzhou. After having morning and dinner together, she returned to the wealthy area where she lived, and I returned to the old house.

Because of the fatigue after driving for a long distance, I lay in bed and rested early. After sleeping in a drowsy two hours, I woke up, and then couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Bored, I found a magazine and lying on the bed to read it. Suddenly I remembered the guitar. Jian Wei took the guitar away. I should have apologized to Aji for being reasonable and immediately called Aji.

Aji answered it soon and I said to him: "Aji, Jian Wei told me about the guitar matter, sorry!"

Aji laughed helplessly and said, "Your ex-girlfriend is really amazing... No, you have to treat me to a meal to suppress my shock!"

"How did she abuse you?"

"I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore, it's simply a nightmare!"

I smiled helplessly. Of course, I also knew how strong Jian Wei was. After a while, I said to Aji: "Are you free now? Please have a few drinks."

"Okay, go to a bar or go to a restaurant?"

"The bar is too noisy, let's go to the restaurant."

...

In a restaurant, I ordered a mutton hotpot and chatted with Aji while drinking.

I poured a glass of wine first, raised it up, and said to Aji with apologies: "I'm sorry about the guitar business, I'll give it back to you immediately after I'm having a lot of money."

Aji picked up the wine glass and clinked me, but said to me with a bitter face: "Brother! Money is really not a big deal. The key is that I feel sorry for that guitar! Do you think your ex-girlfriend can play music? That good guitar is completely a decoration in her hands... Alas!"

After Aji finished the wine in the glass, he poured himself another cup, which looked quite depressed, and his extremely distressed performance made me even more curious about how Jian Wei took back the guitar from him.

I had another drink with Aji and finally asked, "How did she take the guitar from you?"

Aji was filled with fear, and took a sip of wine and suppressed his shock before saying to me: "That night I checked the goods in the piano shop. With a whoosh, a red Cadillac stopped at the door, and then your ex-girlfriend got out of the car, and that momentum made people dare not look directly!"

"Then what?"

"Then I asked me without a single nonsense: Where is the guitar?... Of course I don't want to give it to her, saying you have sold it to me."

"You keep talking."

The fat on Aji's face trembled, he lit a cigarette, took a heavy breath, and said, "I saw her turn around and leave. I thought she was retreating because of the difficulties. Unexpectedly, she carried a black bucket from the car and returned to my store. She told me that the bucket was filled with gasoline. If I didn't return the guitar to her, she would light the fire and burn my piano store!"

I was sweating so much that I lit a cigarette and took a few sips but didn't know what to say.

Aji wiped the sweat from his forehead with a napkin and continued, "I told her, if you dare to click, I will call the police. She raised her hand and unscrewed the lid on the bucket and said to me, "If you want to call the police, report it, I will see if the police are coming quickly or I will order it quickly... I was so scared that my liver was trembling at that time, and I wanted to take the oil barrel from her hand, but she suddenly burst into tears and asked me to return the guitar to her, saying yes, that guitar is her life, or it is in your hand, or it is in her hand, no one else can take possession!"

As Aji said, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank another glass of wine, and sighed, "I was so scared that I was so stupid that I returned the guitar to her... I couldn't help but not to mention whether she really dared to light the piano store with a fire, and the relationship between us can't make the scene too ugly!"

After listening to Aji explaining the whole story of the incident, I felt indescribable in my heart. I remembered that when Mi Cai and I decided on the relationship between us by the moat that night, Jian Wei was heartbreaking for the guitar. But why did she do this? Was it using that guitar to commemorate our once unforgettable past?

If so, then what is the meaning of doing this? I can't figure it out.

"Zhaoyang, I was wondering: Are there any misunderstandings between you and your ex-girlfriend? Just because of her performance that day, standing from the perspective of the bystander, I really feel that she is still in love with you!"

I thought a lot in my mind. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the more I felt: the distance between me and Jian Wei might not be the passing of time, but a frank communication, but what if I were honest?

After all, she has gotten along with Xiang Chen, and after all, I have started a new relationship with Mi Cai. Even if we don’t care about the passing of time, we must not forget that things change, otherwise the harm caused will be doubled.

I drank a glass of wine and lit a cigarette, and used silence to avoid Aji's questions. Aji did not ask any more questions. After chatting with me, he started talking about other topics.

...

I drank a little high this night, so I didn't find the keyhole when I got home and opened the door several times in a row. After finally entering the house, I didn't even have the strength to burn a pot of boiling water, so I lay on the sofa and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I unexpectedly found that I was covered with a quilt, and the sound of water boiling in the kitchen came from the kitchen. Then I saw Mi Cai walking out of the kitchen with a cup of hot milk.

I pressed my head with some pain and sat up from the sofa. Mi Cai handed the milk to me and asked with some reproach, "Did you go out to drink last night?"

"Well, I drank it with Aji." I replied frankly.

"I know, I went to find Aji this morning. Look at you, you are also drinking, and Aji goes to work in the piano store the next day as usual. Where are you?"

I asked with a key point: "Have you gone to find Aji?"

Mi Cai nodded: "...I want to buy the guitar for you, and he told me that the guitar had been taken away by Jane Wei."

I don’t know if it’s nervousness or weakness after drinking, but I sweated coldly on my forehead and asked tentatively: “What about it?”

"Then I wanted to return the money for the guitar. He said you gave it to him last night. Where did you get the money? If you had money, you wouldn't have exchanged your guitar last time!"

I am grateful to Aji for being able to make trouble at critical moments. I definitely can't ask Mi Cai to pay the guitar money, otherwise the guitar given to her would have no meaning.

"I help Leyao manage the bar. She always has to pay me a salary. She sent me a sum of money a few days ago and put it in my card." I bit the bullet and gave Mi Cai a reasonable explanation.

Mi Cai seemed not as alert as before, just nodded, but her mood didn't look very good. Maybe it was because Le Yao and Jian Wei, I, always not cleared up.

I pulled her to sit beside me, and tried my best to whisper: "The guitar has been taken away by Jian Wei now, and we will not have any contact in the future. Don't worry about Leyao's bar. I will hand it back to her soon and there will be no more contact in the future."

"Well, you have to promise me that you will not be the gardener who controls many flowers."

I gently hugged her and said in her ear: "I, a gardener, will only guard you, the holiest flower."

"This is your promise!"

I nodded seriously.

Mi Cai finally smiled and said to me, "Drink the milk quickly. I will accompany you to the mall to buy some clothes later."

"What are you doing when buying clothes?"

"Attend my uncle's birthday party!"

"Is it necessary to buy clothes on purpose?"

"There will be a cocktail party that night, and you need to wear a more formal one!"
