Following the original path, I carried Le Yao back to the underground passage, which made the road we had just walked back and forth full of nostalgia, and there was no other meaning, because we did nothing, and did not walk into the gorgeous new urban area along the lights, and then turned back.

I let go of Leyao while gasping, she said nothing, just waved to Robben and me, walked towards the street opposite, then got into her car, and soon disappeared from the old city and my sight.

I looked at the direction where she left for a long time, and finally said to Robben beside me: "You have done such a major thing for me, why don't I feel grateful at all?... On the contrary, my heart is a little heavy!

Robben handed me a cigarette, and after each lit it, they took a deep breath, then sighed and said, "This woman seems glamorous, but her fate is much more bumpy than that of ordinary people. I really hope that Cao Jinfei is a reliable man. If it is a legendary commercial marriage and interest marriage, I will feel heartache for her!"

"Who doesn't hurt... I hope Cao Jinfei will give her a happy marriage."

Robben looked at me and finally said nothing. He patted me on the shoulder, then carried the guitar, rode his motorcycle, and left first... So, only the strangers who were coming and going were left at the entrance of the underground passage. Thinking of Robben's side with Wei Manwen, Le Yao at least had a girl with me, I felt that the unsuppressible loneliness was surging towards me. At this moment, I didn't know where to go...

......

I rode back to the company on the moped car borrowed from the company staff, and then drove my own car through the city without setting a direction. Later, I subconsciously came to the moat. In fact, I haven't been here for too long. I remember when I came last time, I was wearing only a thin coat, and now, a thick layer of ice has been formed on the edge of the river.

Standing by the guardrail, smoking a cigarette, finally took off his gloves, took out his cell phone and called Jian Wei. She seemed to be busy and did not answer the phone instantly. I didn't rush to call again, put the phone back in my pocket, just looking at the reflection of the street lights in the river, thinking nothing more, including the woman who was far away in the United States and had not been in contact for several days but had made me dream about it.

The familiar smell of perfume came with the cold wind. I turned around and looked at Jian Wei. She didn't look at me, but said, "I just saw you standing by the guardrail, but I didn't answer your phone."

"I see."

"Well, what did you call me?"

"I just tell you that Le Yao has agreed to sign the contract. I gave her the maximum salary of 3 million we set in advance. Do you have no objection, right?"

"She deserves this salary, which is something I can accept." He smiled and said, "It would be even better if you can talk less about hundreds of thousands. You can buy a small advertising space in the golden location in the city center."

I also smiled, raised my hand and took another breath of cigarette, and said to her: "Actually, Le Yao didn't put the 3 million yuan in her pocket. She donated it to a poor mountainous area to build roads."

Jian Wei was a little surprised: "Hmm?...It seems that she has a connection with that mountain village."

I nodded: "Yes, the girl was brought out from that small mountain village, and Robben's wife, who once taught in that small mountain village... She was very poor and backward, but after walking around a few mountains, I could see a section of railway tracks passing by with trains, which surprised me!"

"Have you been there?"

"Twice." After pausing for a long time, he said again: "It is a place that can cleanse the soul."

"Oh...If you like it there, we can build a Hope Primary School there in the name of the company to improve the teaching conditions there, so I'll have the opportunity to go and have a look."

"Of course, but you have to wait for the company to finish the micro-film work..."

Jian Wei responded and said nothing more. She just lay on the guardrail, repeating my actions just now, looking at the lights swaying on the river, looking so lonely, but at the same moment, I can no longer blend with her, and the story will not continue to happen by the moat... I know that it's time for me to leave, to prevent the two of them from becoming more lonely.

Before leaving, I said to Jian Wei: "Lu Yao is preparing to sign the contract, please tell Fang Yuan on my behalf."

"Why didn't you tell him personally? He has been waiting for news from you!"

"You told him that Le Yao had not signed the contract, but now you should tell him that this matter has been resolved, so that it seems to be a beginning and an end!"

"Are you blaming me for telling him this?"

"Not even if you don't say it, he will know through other channels... Actually, I don't want to call again now. I want to turn off the phone, and then be alone. If I can fall asleep in bed, that's better!"

"Then you go back and rest, I'll call him."

"You go back early too... This moat is not so beautiful in this winter when nothing is bare! If you see too much, people will be negative."

Jian Wei just shrugged her shoulders and did not make a clear statement. How long will she have to stay here? I really want to leave, and then lay on the bed and covered her head and slept for a nap.

......

When I returned to my residence, I lay on the bed and was about to turn off my phone as planned, the ringtone rang unexpectedly. I thought it was Mi Cai's, so I quickly picked it up and looked at it. It was called by the store manager in the empty city. She had never called me so late. I thought something was difficult to do, so I answered it with a hint of worry. Her tone was not as anxious as I imagined. She said to me: "Mr. Zhao, sister, she drank a lot of wine, and people were almost unaware of it. I don't know where she lives. Come and pick her up."

Then I remembered Robben said: It must have been stimulated by their upcoming wedding. All her pretended strength and disguise were finally torn apart on this lonely night. I knew: the more rational a woman is, the more she suffered after drinking will increase exponentially, because when she is sober, she is suppressed too ruthlessly!

After finishing the call with the store manager, I hurriedly put on my clothes, hurriedly left my residence, and rushed to the "empty city" in the endless night. The store manager chose to call me was correct, but it was actually lonely. Therefore, there were not many friends who could help her after drinking. Luo Ben was one, but it was no longer suitable to go there. Le Yao was also one, but she was not strong enough, and Mi Cai was even more unrealistic. She was busy across the ocean thousands of miles away and was so anxious...

After a while, she was already lying on the table and was unconscious. The waiter was cleaning the vomit on the floor. I didn’t need to ask, and I knew how much wine she drank... The amount of wine also interpreted her sadness. In my circle of friends, she had never been drunk. This time she was really hurt by herself and her heart was also hurt!

......

After walking through the dark alley, she put her in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and tried to talk to her, but she just gasped heavily and kept saying that she was sad. I know that what she was sad was not only her body, but also her heart that had nowhere to rest... But all this will end in the end. She should have expected such a day, but she still did not prepare enough mentally. Thinking about it, wishful love is really the most terrifying devil in this world, and it is tormenting the softest soul of a person.

I didn't start the car immediately. I flipped through the key to her residence in my bag. I started the car after I found it. I vomited again in pain, but there was no food, all of which was pungent alcohol and gastric juice. I felt extremely painful for her. I really wanted to wake her up and ask her what she did this night. Apart from drinking, did she not have the consciousness to do other things? Even if I go to a movie to divert my attention, it would be much better than now!

Halfway through, I went to the pharmacy to buy some hangover medicine, went home and took a set of changing clothes, sent it to her residence, carried her to the bed, took off her coat, and applied it to her head with a hot towel. Then I went to the bathroom to take a hot shower and wash off the smell of alcohol stuck to my body, but shook my head and smiled bitterly, remembering:, It was not until a few years later that we had the opportunity to switch roles.

After taking a shower and soaking a glass of milk, she was still drinking some in dizziness. I knew she would vomit, so I took a washing basin and placed it beside the bed, then pressed a floor to take care of her.

I really drank too much cc, and I didn't even have the strength to make noise or talk nonsense, but I just vomited intermittently, so I couldn't rest until one o'clock in the night, but I finally calmed down, but I was no longer sleepy and kept thinking about the right and wrong that happened to us...

The ringtone of the cell phone once again broke the silence of the night, but this time it was called by Mi Cai. Life is still so crazy that it creates all kinds of accidents for us. If it weren't for this sudden call, I even doubted whether I had appeared in Mi Cai's miss these days.

I let out a breath, finally answered Mi Cai's phone call, and greeted her in a calm tone: "Good evening..."

Mi Cai smiled and said, "You should tell me good afternoon and I will tell you good evening."

"Don't care about these details."

"Well, how have you been doing these few days? Are you very tired?"

I was always unwilling to make her worry, so I replied, "It's great, everything is working normally, but it's really exhausted... I'm in my residence. She drank herself and vomited until now she hasn't completely calmed down!"

Mi Cai's tone was full of concern: "She has a good alcohol tolerance and has always been very rational. How could she get so drunk?"
