It was not until Mi Cai stopped crying that I let her go, wiped away the tears from her face with my hands, and said to her softly: "Go to sleep, I'll sit here with you, waiting for you to fall asleep."

Mi Cai nodded, I helped her flatten the pillow, helped her lie down, stroked her hair, and signaled her to rest quickly. She obediently closed her eyes, but said to me: "Zhaoyang, can you sing to me?"

"What do you want to hear?"

"Farewell to Faye Wong."

I smiled and said, "This song is about a reserved woman, not a reserved man, so you should sing it to me."

"The woman in the song is no longer reserved."

I recalled the lyrics and seemed to sing a reserved woman who became no longer reserved for a man she loved deeply, not only because she was afraid of loneliness, but also because she also had a heart that loved to the end.

I finally suggested to Mi Cai, "Why don't we sing together, one part of each person."

Mi Cai nodded and sang before me: "I have never resisted your charm. Although you have never been fascinated by me, I always look at you with a smile, and my affection is always easy to fill my eyes. I once thought that in a lonely night, you finally care about my room. You closed your eyes and kissed me, without saying a word, hugged me tightly in your arms, I love you, I love you to the end, for the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve, let myself fantasize about everything about me and you, you love me, you love me to the end, for the first time in my life, I let go of my reserve, and believe that I can really love you deeply..."

When it was my turn to sing, I replaced all the me in the lyrics with you and you for me until I finished singing with peace of mind.

Mi Cai looked at me and said to me with some resentment: "Why are you so bad? The good lyrics have been changed beyond recognition by you!"

"But the artistic conception has not changed. Only when I sing like this can I maintain your position as the protagonist in this song!"

"You are really good at it!"

I smiled and nodded.

Mi Cai's tone became disappointed: "I'm afraid you are laughing at me for not being reserved enough, right? I always try every means to find you, but you are not willing to see me."

"How could it be!... In fact, I'm afraid that it's not you, but the gap between us, which makes people fragile."

"Zhaoyang, I will wait for you, and we will not be bound by the gap... You have to work hard!"

I nodded and looked out the window again. The night was as dark as ink, but in that far away, there seemed to be a star pointing in the direction.

...

After leaving Micai's room, I went to calculate today's accounts, and then made a publicity strategy of "perfect travel plan" on the computer. When I recovered, it was already late at night.

I rubbed my temples to relieve fatigue, but this fatigue is only physical, but the desire-filled heart is not tired.

I lit a cigarette, took a sip, and then vomited it heavily. I knew very well that one day Mi Cai and I would face this gap, and there were only three results.

First, the gap between me and her still exists, and the pain caused by the gap still tear up the fragile love day after day after year; second, she became nothing materially, and the gap finally disappeared, but can she adapt to this life from extravagance to frugality? Third, after hard work, I can finally compare with her in the business world.

I'm sure I'm willing to choose the third result, because it looks the best and is the most beneficial to happiness.

Perhaps, there is a fourth result: we are strangers, and in the end we only remember when it was late at night that we had fallen in love with each other, but the person sleeping around us is no longer the other person.

...

The next day, I got up a little later. When I opened the door, I found Mi Cai walking towards the guest's room wearing our inn's work clothes with two bottles of hot water.

After knocking on the door politely, he sent two bottles of water into the room.

After she came out, I stopped her and asked, "What are you doing?"

“Thank hot water to the guests.”

"I mean, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I slept very early last night... Don't block me, there is still a room to clean up!"

"Don't you like running in the morning? I'll clean up the room. You can run quickly."

Mi Cai urged me in turn: "It's true that you go and wash up quickly. The breakfast I bought is almost cold." After saying that, he didn't give me a chance to stop it, and pushed a cleaning car from the corner to walk towards another room.

I was stunned for a while when I looked at her back...

I think the boss of the "Jiangnan Xiaozhu" family is just like this compared to her now.

...

After washing up, I ate the breakfast I bought for me by Micai and started chatting with the boy who had been staying at the front desk to receive customers.

The boy's tone was as envious as ever: "Brother Yang, you really found a boss lady for our inn... This is the most beautiful boss lady in Xitang. No, he is the most beautiful boss lady in all scenic inns in the country."

"She won't stay here for long."

"Then is she the owner of the inn?"

I asked back: "What do you think?"

"Of course, if it weren't for the boss's wife, how could she clean the room and send hot water to the guests!"

I didn't say anything anymore, but I cherished such days because it was too short, so short that I didn't have time to get used to it.

Mi Cai finally finished cleaning the room, and she sat down next to me with relief.

I picked up a fried bread and brought it to her mouth: "You try it, it's pretty good."

Mi Cai took a small bite and I handed her another cup of soy milk.

The boy beside him shouted: "Two, can you take into account the feelings of me, a lonely man when showing your love?"

Mi Cai and I looked at each other and smiled, but we didn't care about his feelings. We each had a cup of soy milk, making him look like we were in a state of collapse.

Before I could finish my breakfast, a roar of the sports car engine suddenly came outside the door, and then I saw a Ferrari 458 and an Audi R8.

The sudden appearance of these two cars made me feel irritated because I knew too well who the owner was.

Sure enough, Weiran and Milan walked out of two cars one after another.

Mi Cai looked at me, and I tried my best to calm myself, and then signaled to her that I was fine.

Weiran and Mi Lan walked into the inn side by side. First, Mi Lan spoke: "Sister, why didn't you call me when you come back from the United States? If someone from the United States hadn't told me, I wouldn't know that you were back!"

Mi Cai replied simply: "Just stay for a few days."

Weiran looked at me, took the words, and said to Mi Cai, "Come back to see him?"

Mi Cai seemed to care about my mood and stood up and said to the two of them, "Find a place to drink something and chat."

Mi Lan and Wei Ran nodded at the same time and agreed. When they were about to leave, Mi Lan asked me with disdain in her words: "Did you open this inn?"

"I drove it."

"It's really promising!"

Mi Cai frowned and scolded, "Mi Lan, you're enough!"

Mi Lan was not afraid at all and said to Mi Cai, "I just dislike him. What's the good thing about such garbage?"

I was on the verge of getting angry again, but I tried my best to control myself, just smiled and said, "I also think you are a woman, but I won't write a sign at the door that Milan and Dog are not allowed to enter, so you have the opportunity to call me so unscrupulously."

Mi Lan was about to have an attack immediately. Mi Cai grabbed her and signaled Weiran to help, and Weiran also grabbed her from the other side.

Mi Lan broke free from Mi Cai and Weiran, and nodded at me with resentment: "I hope you won't regret your words and deeds today." After that, he turned around and walked out of the inn door.
