The rain didn't stop all night. When I woke up in the morning, the temperature became cold because of the rain. When I woke up, I had already wrapped myself in the quilt and sneezed heavily. The rain I was wet yesterday made me suffer from a severe cold. Coupled with a hangover, my headache was so scattered, and then I felt dry mouth. I quickly boiled a pot of water for myself and sat on the sofa waiting. But even though my physical condition was so bad, I still habitually lit a cigarette and sucked. Then in my silence, I guessed where Mi Cai would go and where I could meet her.

But this city is really big, and there are too many streets and alleys to choose from. The chances of meeting her are too small. This kind of crisis was only realized by myself in the early morning after I was drunk. So I became more and more depressed in this sense of crisis that I could not meet, so I was a little dazed all morning. It was not until I washed up and received a call from Robben that I ended this state. He told me that I had finished recording the talent show and returned to Suzhou and asked me to go to the "Empty City" music restaurant at noon to have a few drinks.

Thinking that we haven't seen each other for a long time, I agreed and forcibly buried the uneasy emotions in my heart. As usual, I came to the company on this rainy morning, dealing with various complicated matters, and personally formulated a recent travel plan for Tianyang Group. It was almost noon and sent it to the director of their marketing department for them to review.

At noon, I stopped all the work I had on hand, then turned on the computer to find the map of Suzhou, and began to analyze where Mi Cai would start. I intuition told me that the reason why she chose dusk must be after work. Maybe I went to Zhuomei to wait and found her as soon as possible, but I quickly denied it because my thoughts were too obvious, so Mi Cai would definitely think that if she really wanted to verify whether there would be a fate between us, then of course she would not choose Zhuomei as the starting point. So I continued to think hard until Robben called me again.

......

At noon, I came to the music restaurant in the empty town. Robben had already asked for two big beer. I sat down opposite him, picked up the beer and took a sip, and asked, "Why are you back now? Have you failed to advance to the semi-finals?"

Robben threw me a cigarette and asked, "Do you think I should advance?"

"The songs you wrote are recognized as high in the industry and have helped. I don't think it's possible that you can't advance to the semi-finals!"

Robben smiled and replied, "I did advance to the semi-finals, but I gave up the game. After thinking about it, this purely commercial draft is still not suitable for me, so let's stop there."

This answer made me see Robben's usual style, raised his glass to him and said, "It may not be a bad thing if you give up the competition. I think it will become one of the highlights of the original music competition. This reverse effect will definitely last for a long time. At that time, your popularity will not decline but increase. There will definitely be many performers who invite you to conduct commercial performances!"

"I didn't think so much about it. I just want to make good music, but this platform is really not suitable for me. I originally thought that I could compromise for life, but such a completely commercial packaging really makes me feel uncomfortable. Especially whenever I talk about the lines prepared by the organizer on the stage, I feel disgusted, and I can't regard my past experience as a capital to gain sympathy... Alas! Maybe I'm really not suitable for this circle, I just feel a little wronged. I described a life to her, but it couldn't be realized!"

"Don't think too much. Teacher Wei is following you! ... But if there is really a good commercial performance, you should take some of it. After all, you have bought a house in Suzhou now, and the pressure of life is not small. Don't throw the burden of life on Teacher Wei alone!"

Robben nodded and said for a long time: "I understand..."

Then he asked me, "Where are you, who has you gotten along with recently?"

I didn't intend to hide it from Robben, so I told him all the promise between me last night and Mi Cai. It was not that I hope he could give me any solution, but that it was based on the trust between my brothers.

Robben took a heavy breath of cigarette, then slapped the cigarette box on the table like a haunted tree and said, "Zhaoyang, you have been back and forth several times, why can't you forget this woman?"

"Because I've loved... I know you may have some opinions about Micai, but you should be more understandable by others, because everything I have to face now, you have also faced before. Really, I especially want to respect you as a senior!"

"Don't squeeze me..."

"I am really from the heart whoever squeezes you and who is the grandson!"

Roben stared at me for a long time and sighed: "It's really a pity that this woman can come up with such a way. I'd just tell you that there is no hope of getting back together... You said that we are all people who have lived in Suzhou for many years. The bus alone has driven hundreds of routes. Now there is a subway. She just chooses an intersection like this. Even if you bring a hunting dog, you really may not be able to find her!"

"Oh... who said no! I'm worried, but I can't give up just because I have a slim hope. I still want to look for it."

Robben seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and then came up with an idea: "Call her, let's figure out where she is now, and then stare at her without knowing it, and then tell you her whereabouts at night, and then... Then... Then, this problem will be solved by the gods and ghosts for you without knowing it!"

“This is indeed a good idea…”

Robben thought I agreed, and immediately took out the phone from his pocket and was about to implement the idea. But I held his hand and said, "But don't play like this. I think some of her words are quite reasonable. There are so many obstacles between us, so let's leave it to the most natural fate to solve it. If we deliberately create this fate that did not exist, I feel sorry for her, and even more so for the innocence I have pursued. And even if I recovered it because of this, it will be a hidden danger between us in the future. If Mi Cai knew one day that I was fighting for this relationship through such means, I, Zhaoyang, might have changed my taste in her eyes, right?"

Robben looked at me helplessly and said for a while: "You are too unwilling to be in love, and I don't want to persuade you anymore, because as a brother, I never think you and Mi Cai are suitable. Even if you don't get anything today, it's not necessarily a bad thing... My intuition tells me that one day you will find that Leyao is the woman who can accompany you in the end!"
