When Robben talked about Le Yao's worst feeling that I was suffering from downfall, an indescribable feeling surged in my heart, so I didn't say anything for a long time. I just went to the bar to add a cup of coffee called "West of the Old City", but it was not wine after all, and I couldn't release the accumulated emotions happily.

Robben said to me again: "We won't contact her for now, let her calm down. I'll help you make an appointment with her tomorrow night... I hope she doesn't return to Beijing. If she really returns to Beijing, I'm afraid the matter of shooting micro-films will be really lingering!"

I nodded worriedly and said, "I understand."

Robben looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to accompany Manwen..." After getting up, he thought of something and said to me, "By the way, let me tell you something, Manwen and I have already discussed that this year's New Year's Day wedding will be held a few days after Le Yao and Cao Jinfei's wedding."

I was a little surprised. I knew that Robben and Wei Manwen would get married sooner or later, but I didn't expect to choose the same day as Li Xiaoyun. I have promised Li Xiaoyun that I will definitely attend her wedding, so I can only miss the wedding of Robben and Wei Manwen.

Robben patted my shoulder and said, "You must be the best man. There must be time?... It's just the holiday, it's still auspicious day!"

It turns out that New Year's Day was a zodiac day, so it is not difficult to explain that Robben, who also has the need to get married, would have collided with Li Xiaoyun, but I was the one who was really embarrassed, because I had an agreement with Robben many years ago that no matter how close or far away, I would definitely attend the other party's wedding, but I could not break my trust from Li Xiaoyun. After a while, he said to Robben: "I was busy on New Year's Day. There is still a wedding waiting for me to attend in Xuzhou!"

"Then you can't catch up with the rockets. There are more than 500 kilometers from Suzhou to Xuzhou!"

"If you can't catch up, you have to hurry..."

"Who is it that you have to go?"

I didn't hide it and replied: "Li Xiaoyun."

Robben seemed to have a look at her and asked, "Is it your former partner in Xuzhou?"

"Yes, she's going to get married."

"The good girls around you are busy getting married, and it is definitely unreliable for those who refuse to get married until now."

"?"

Luo Ben looked at me expressionlessly and replied for a while: "Mi Cai..."

......

After Robben left, I sat in "west of the old city" for a while until Xia Fanye stopped his brush and no longer had heat in the coffee cup. So I remembered this life without temperature recently, or it was not that my life was not warm, but that my friends around me were living too hot and they were getting married one after another.

Xia Fanye finally stopped painting, wiped off the oil dyed in his hand with a towel, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and took out a piece for me. I looked at the night outside the window, but there was no extra time to chat with him for a while, lit the cigarette, and said goodbye to him. Inadvertently, he saw his unfinished work, and felt that his mood was much better than before, because in his painting, he finally saw the sunshine all over the ground, shook the sycamore tree in autumn so brightly. The light through the gap made the woman under the sycamore tree full of a joyful atmosphere, as if it was not in the painting...

When I returned to my residence, I simply washed up and lay on the bed. I couldn't remember how many nights I had experienced as dry and cold as this time, and I couldn't remember how many secrets I had thought about myself and others on such nights. Perhaps the only thing I could remember was the smell of tobacco that spreads with my mind. In this smell, I treated loneliness as a kind of enjoyment, and I didn't imagine how far tomorrow would be.

Finally, I turned off all the lights in the room, leaving only the cigarette butts between my fingers still flashing lightly and darkly, as if I wanted to tell me that there must be an end in this world. I heard that even the sun will be completely extinguished in 5 billion years, and human will is so small in such natural laws. So, my thinking is immersed in the irreversible macroscope, slowly forgetting my worries, and having some rare sleepiness on this night.

However, the text message prompt came unexpectedly and broke the peace of the night. I picked it up and looked at it. It was sent by Jian Wei. She asked me: "Fang Yuan told me that you went to Le Yao to sign the contract today. Have you signed it successfully?"

I was a little distressed, rubbed my tired eyes and replied, "No..."

It was of great importance. Jian Wei immediately called over and I answered it even more distressedly. She asked me again with a little anxious tone: "What's wrong, why didn't she sign?"

I couldn't tell Jian Wei straightforwardly that Le Yao decided to withdraw from filming micro-film. I also felt that things had a turnaround, so I vaguely replied: "She just has some emotions about the terms of the contract...I can handle it!"

"Are you dissatisfied with the pay you offered...but the upper limit of 3 million is really the highest sincerity price that the company can offer!"

"Don't ask, I'll talk to her tomorrow, and I'll tell you the result of the talk."

After a moment of silence, Jian Wei replied: "Okay, if it's really because of the pay, we can add some more. After all, the press conference has been held now, and there is no turning back in this matter. Don't let the company's reputation suffer losses, we can't afford it!"

I said "um" and then said good night to Jian Wei, then hung up the phone. The calmer mood began to get irritable again, but I could only place my hope on Robben. I understand that I would talk to Le Yao myself, except to add fuel to the fire, and it would not have any effect.

Fortunately, Robben sent me a message in his anger and told me: Le Yao did not return to Beijing, and asked me to prepare the guitar tomorrow evening and wait for him in a newly built underground passage in the old city.

I don’t know what he is selling, but at this time I can only choose to obey his wishes. When I wait for tomorrow, things will turn around. If Le Yao really wants to withdraw from the filming of micro-films, I really don’t know how to deal with it!
