I calmed myself a little, raised my head, and found that Wei Manwen had been looking at me, as if waiting for me to express my thoughts at this moment. After a silence, I finally said to her: "Maybe what I lack between me and her is not just communication, but our pursuit of life is also different. In her heart, love is not the most important thing."

Wei Manwen smiled and said, "This is still your own judgment, or did Mi Cai say in person that she can give up love for something?"

I fell into silence again and wanted to light a cigarette habitually, but found that the cigarette box had been taken to her by Wei Manwen. Then I remembered that this coffee shop was non-smoking, so I never spoke again until the end of dinner.

When we were about to leave, the sky was drizzling in late summer. Wei Manwen and I stood under the neon lights of the coffee shop. I finally lit a cigarette and said to her, "I'll send you back."

Wei Manwen nodded: "Well, wait until you finish smoking this cigarette."

......

Under Wei Manwen's guidance, I sent her to her and Robben's residence, but it was no longer the small rooftop building they rented, but a pretty good community in the city. I parked the car downstairs and asked before Wei Manwen got off the car, "Teacher Wei, did you buy or rent the house here?"

"I bought it, Robben paid the down payment, let's pay the mortgage together!"

I smiled, and couldn't help but envy. Even Robben, the former hutongshuzi, had his own home in Suzhou, and there was a woman who accompanied him to pay his mortgage.

I asked Wei Manwen again: "When are you going to get married?"

"Save a sum of money to get married."

"If you are short of money, I have it here. You can get married quickly, so you can save a lot of dreams."

Wei Manwen smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. If you have spare money, buy the house as soon as possible. How many girls are there now? Don't care whether the man has a house!"

I responded to Wei Manwen with a smile: "The girls nowadays are really realistic!"

"The house will give women a lot of security."

I don’t seem to have a strong desire to buy a house at this stage. If I had my own house now, I would feel even more empty. It would be better to live in that rented single apartment. At least I don’t have to get stuck in this city and be able to come and go freely. There is only one exception. If it is that old house, I really want to buy it!

......

Maybe I talked about the house with Wei Manwen, and on the way back, I always unconsciously thought of the old house. If I had found a sense of belonging and home in this city, it all happened in the old house. So on this idle night, I wanted to go back there. Anyway, Mi Cai no longer lives there, so I don’t have to worry about the embarrassment after meeting.

After a short while, I drove the car downstairs of the community, and then looked at the top-floor house through the glass of the car window facing the rain falling in the sky. There was no light in the room, which also meant that Mi Cai was really not living here. A feeling of loss arose in my heart, and then I fell into a state of loss, but my eyes never left the window...

A dazzling light shot from my side. I subconsciously turned my head and looked at me. I saw a Suv-shaped car coming towards me. But because I was facing the light, I couldn't tell what model it was. Until the car stopped beside my car, I found it was a red q7, and then I saw Micai walking off the car with a handbag.

I was a little suffocated and hurriedly pressed the car window on this side of my body. Mi Cai seemed to have not noticed me. She walked towards the corridor with some tired steps.

I felt relieved. If she knew that I had been here this night, where would my face be placed? At least I did not care about the few times I met after the breakup, but what is it to come to memorize now?

When the lights in the room lit up, her figure reflected on the curtains, rising and falling, and she seemed to be packing her things...

I lit a cigarette and looked at it in the soundless night. I felt that this busy woman did not seem to have walked away from my life. So those scenes of living together flashed into my mind again. I remembered that we used to be in this room, quarreling and quarreling. I smiled helplessly because I couldn't tell her and was always at a disadvantage.

I remembered that we had eaten the meal we cooked together in the afternoon, and there was another feeling of sadness in the warmth, because this scene could only appear in my mind as a memory, and she was about to marry someone else.

I was a little confused. When I came to my senses, the lights in the room had gone out. The sound of high heels colliding with the ground came from my ears. Then I saw Mi Cai standing in front of my car. She turned on the flash of her phone and shone directly on me...

The rain had wet her long hair, but I refused to get out of the car. In addition to being embarrassed, I felt a little embarrassed.

Mi Cai walked to the side of the car, then knocked on the window. I finally pressed the window and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can your car move over there? My car can't drive out."

"You have the ability to drive in, but don't have the ability to drive out?"

“There is an extra car behind.”

I looked back and found that there was indeed a three-wheeled motorcycle behind Micai's car. I didn't notice it just now...

"You wait..."

Mi Cai nodded, and I immediately started the car. After a few directions, I finally gave up the space for Mi Cai to drive out, and then turned off the car. Of course, I could choose to run away in a hurry, but that was not my style. Besides, I have lived here for more than two years, and the occasional remembrance is legitimate. After figuring out these, the embarrassing feelings will no longer exist.

Mi Cai was ready to get on the car, so I stopped her: "Hey, let's talk..."

Mi Cai turned around and looked at me in surprise. I opened the passenger door and signaled her to get in the car first. At this time, the rain outside the car window was leaking to the ground in a dense manner.

After hesitating for a moment, Mi Cai walked towards my car, then sat down in the passenger cab, pulled out a tissue to wipe the rain on her face, but she also looked like she was waiting for me to speak first.

"What are you doing when you come back?"

"Get something."

"Oh, you told me last time that you no longer live here, right?"

Micai nodded.
