After a simple lunch, Jian Wei and I left the county town. In fact, I already had an idea in my mind. No matter how big the business intentions Jian Wei and Yang Congrong had, I would not participate. I only planned to do the "literary and artistic road". I knew that no matter whether I participated or not, they could achieve these ambitious business goals well.

When I returned to Suzhou, Jian Wei sent me directly to Zhuomei, and then drove away by myself. My mood was inexplicably depressed. This depression implied a kind of struggle and powerless pursuit. So I stared at the dark sky for a long time. The more I looked, the more I became empty. The more I looked, the more I felt that I could not wait for the end. Until the street lights suddenly all turned on, and until the neon lights of the city flashed charmingly again, I came back to my senses.

After work, Mi Cai finally came to me. She held my arm among the endless crowd, smiled at me, and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I'm not hungry yet, please accompany me for a while."

"Do you have something to worry about?"

I didn't say anything, but just grabbed her hand and walked towards the opposite block under the lights of the street lights.

......

I walked very silent along the way, and Mi Cai did not break this silence. It seemed that the work of this day also made her very tired. At this time, it was a rare relaxation to be able to hold hands and walk on the street without purpose.

After walking two blocks, we arrived at a snack street. Standing at the entrance of the alley, we looked around. There were crowds sitting at the open-air dining table, drinking beer, eating snacks, and chatting and laughing. In the midst of the crowd, we seemed to be unable to see any worldly troubles. So I was also infected and finally spoke to Micai and asked, "How long have you been eating snacks?"

"It's been a long time, why, do you want to eat?"

I nodded and said, "Please stay with me."

"Okay, but don't drink too much. I just saw you looking at those beer bottles with your eyes shining!"

I smiled and said, "With you being supervised by the side, how could you drink too much?" After that, he pulled Mi Cai to walk into the alley.

The two of them squeezed out a lot of people, so they finally found an empty seat and sat down. While playing with the lighter, I said to Mi Cai, who was relieved: "Here, don't expect a waiter to call you."

Mi Cai looked around and asked, "Then how should we order something?"

I pointed to the crowd and said, "Go and carry it with them. Whoever carries it to the front of the snack car first will order the order first..."

"Who will carry it?"

I replied, "Of course it's you. After all, I, a man, are not suitable to carry it around there!"

"You are macho and I am so weak, aren't you afraid that I will be taken away by those who are competing for me?"

Looking at her self-pitying expression, I couldn't help laughing, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "You said, I'd better go and carry it with them, you'll be responsible for taking up a seat here." As I said, I stood up and walked towards the crowded crowd. In fact, I didn't plan to let her do this, just to make a joke. In fact, I would rather do it for her like this trivialities in life, and she was willing to accompany me to experience this kind of civilian life, so I felt very fulfilled!

When I got up, I remembered that I gave all the money I had on yesterday. I didn’t spend much today and I didn’t remember to withdraw money. So I said to Mi Cai again: “Give me your wallet, I don’t have any spare money here.”

Mi Cai took out the pure white wallet from her handbag and handed it to me. The first thing I did was to turn it on was to open the wallet. Although we were in love, we really didn't know much about privacy, but this did not mean that I was not curious.

She has very little cash in her wallet, but there are many cards of various types, but this is not what I pay attention to. What I care about the most is the mezzanine where the photo is placed in her wallet. I opened it and looked at it. It was indeed a photo of her and Mi Zhongxin. Although Mi Zhongxin in the photo could not tell her age at all, she had the temperament of a strong business person, but her smile was very kind. Mi Cai was wearing a graduation dress, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and snuggling with her coquettish smile.

In Mi Zhongxin's arms, she was not as cold as she is now, and even sunny as she is now... I couldn't help but look back at her and remember that she was a woman who suffered the pain of losing her father but had to drift in a foreign country over the years. She couldn't help feeling sad. Maybe she had spent more lonely and helpless nights than me, but I could still drink to relieve my sorrows, but she could only become more and more cold and protect her lonely and helpless heart with her indifference.

Now that all this has slowly passed, she has become my girlfriend, I will not let her be so indifferent anymore, I want to see her coquettish smile again. Although this is very difficult, I am willing to try it.

I was deeply aware of the key to eating in this place. I turned my body sideways and exerted my strength to squeeze out a way out among the crowds, and efficiently completed the ordering. Then I walked towards Mi Cai with a smug look on my face and said to her: "Did you see my cool and heroic figure just now? I've just fought a bloody road among thousands of troops. You'll be blessed tonight! I really envy you, have a boyfriend like me!"

Mi Cai was amused by my appearance or words, but then she took out a tissue from her handbag and handed it to me, indicating that I could wipe off the sweat from my face. In fact, the process of ordering just now seemed to have no effort, but it really made me feel thrust. Isn’t it sweating on my face?

I put my face in front of Mi Cai and said, "Do you help me."

Mi Cai carefully wiped off the sweat stains on my face, then looked around, but didn't see the trash can, so she put the sweat-wrinkled tissue into her handbag. It seemed that she was still not able to adapt to the casual eating of the street stall. In fact, there were tissues that had not been disposed of everywhere under our feet. I didn't understand: whether it was right or wrong to try to assimilate her like this, at least no one would believe that Chairman Zhuomei would come to this place full of urban atmosphere to eat.

However, even if she is a glass of expensive red wine, she will still marry me, a man like a fried dough stick. Only by being compatible with each other can life not be too monotonous.

So I said to her, "Is it good to make a cup of soy milk? Don't make red wine."

She looked at me with some difficulty and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean!"

I lifted the worn-out chair that was almost gone, sat down beside her, and said seriously: "Can you act like a spoiled person with me first?"

"ah?"
