After returning to the company this afternoon, he still faced endless trivial matters. When he was about to get off work, Robben sent me a message telling me that he had received the 1 million that Mi Cai transferred, but he did not ask me about the contact with Wei Manwen in the message. Perhaps, he didn't think that Wei Manwen would not even want to meet him for the last time, but in fact, Wei Manwen really refused.

The next day, when night was covering the city, Le Yao and I stood at the door of a restaurant called "Night Desert", waiting for Robben. He only invited Le Yao and me to this dinner for him. I understood that he did not want to make the separation too sad, because besides Le Yao and me, there are many friends in his circle of contacts. No one hoped that he would leave so miserably. It would be better to leave quietly and never say goodbye to the third person besides me, Le Yao.

While waiting, I said to Le Yao: "Roben asked me to tell Wei Manwen, hoping that she could come to see him off, but she refused... Later, I don't know how to talk to Robben, so..."

Le Yao sighed, feeling sad for the news, and then glared at me and said, "Do you think I am a foolish elder sister? Do you think I am just a silly sister? Do you just say anything hurtful?"

"It doesn't mean that, after all, you are a woman, say it out of your mouth..."

Le Yao interrupted: "What do you mean is a tragedy when you say it from your mouth, and it becomes a comedy when you say it from my mouth?"

"That's not what I mean..."

Before I could defend myself, my words were interrupted by Le Yao again: "Zhaoyang, you are immoral, do you know?... I was holding a weapon that could kill Robben, but I wanted to blame me and let me take the blame for you!"

"It's a bit too much to say that you are robbing you. At most, it's considered hiring a murderer..." He stopped and said in a low voice: "Actually, we are both quite innocent. The real executioner is Wei Manwen."

"So, don't you think love is the most evil feeling in the world? ... After we make us suffer pain regardless of our own efforts, the innocent friends around us will eventually suffer."

I nodded thoughtfully and said, "You said that, love is quite evil, because it is better at creating pain than family or friendship!"

While talking, a taxi stopped in front of Le Yao and me. I saw Robben sitting inside. In desperation, I hurriedly grabbed the hem of Le Yao's clothes, lowered my voice, and said anxiously and threatened, "Did you hear that when you turned around and told him?"

Le Yao knocked off my hand and said angrily: "You go to death... Say it yourself!"

......

Robben walked in front, Le Yao and I walked behind him, and I pushed her and said, "Don't you say it?...Isn't it okay to do a favor? I, a man, really don't have a good time to talk about these heart-wrenching things!"

"You are just a sarcastic heart?...get out, you!" Le Yao said as she was tired of a fly, pushing me away from her side. I continued to use the spirit of pestering the fly, and persuaded her with emotion and reason, but she refused to eat softly and hard, and the scolding became increasingly unpleasant, and the force of pushing me became increasingly stronger. So we seemed to have a fight behind Robben, but Robben didn't realize it at this time. Perhaps, he was still immersed in the picture of seeing Wei Manwen tomorrow.

After we sat down in the restaurant, Robben took out the notebook he carried with him from his bag, and then wrote something on it with a pen. Le Yao asked him, "What are you writing?"

Robben didn't raise his head and replied, "I want to write a song."

"Your song was written for her...I advise you not to be pretentious, because it really doesn't make any sense."

Robben still didn't look up or respond, and still kept writing on his laptop... Until we finished ordering and the food was delivered by the waiter one after another, he put the notebook in his bag and finally asked me: "Zhaoyang, have you contacted Manwen?"

I really don’t want to face this problem. After hesitating for a while, I replied: “I’ve contacted it.”

"What did she say?"

I couldn't say anything, Robben's face was gloomy and turned to Le Yao... Of course, Le Yao couldn't say anything. She picked up the cup, then looked up at the ceiling light hanging in the private room without any attention.

I knew I couldn't escape, so I made up my mind and finally said to Robben: "...she, she may not come, she said, I wish you all the best!"

Robben's expression suddenly calmed down. He lit a cigarette, was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said, "She will definitely come... She will definitely come then!"

When Robben said this, I kept looking at him, and there was no despair on his face. He really felt: What I told him was just a lie after being embarrassed. In his heart, Wei Manwen would definitely go to the airport to see him off. This is his confidence, and it is also based on his confidence in Wei Manwen!

At this time, Le Yao, who has been out of the matter, finally advised: "Robben, stop fantasizing anymore! As a woman, I can tell you that if she said she wouldn't come, she wouldn't come... But this is not necessarily ruthless, but she doesn't want to make each other too sad. After all, after meeting, we are still facing a long-lasting separation!"

I nodded: "Yes, I think so too! ... Whether to bid farewell is not a particularly worthy of investigation, and it doesn't make any sense!"

After Robben replied persistently, "She will come", he took out the notepad from his bag again, as if he didn't write this song and would not give up until Wei Manwen heard it... His appearance made Le Yao and I have no mood to eat. He just looked at him, immersed in his unrealistic fantasy, and put all these fantasies into the lines of the notepad.

So, even Le Yao and I gradually believed that Wei Manwen might really come and silently bid farewell to him in a corner where we can’t see it!

Le Yao and I stayed with Robben in this restaurant until late at night, but he left before us. When we left, we asked me to play the guitar for him tomorrow. He wanted to give this improvised song to Wei Manwen, and then looked at his injured left arm in disappointment, as if he felt that it was a very regrettable and regretful thing to not be able to play and sing in person.

But his loss was more like a very ridiculous idea that arose after the name of false love!

.........

After Robben left, Le Yao and I stood at the door of this "Night Desert". We were also ready to say goodbye. Before saying goodbye, I asked her: "Do you think Wei Manwen will appear at the airport tomorrow?"

Robben's unwavering belief seemed to shake Le Yao. She pondered and said, "Maybe they will come...but in a corner that Robben can't see!"

I nodded: "It's possible... After all, I have had so many years of emotional entanglements!"

Le Yao looked at me expressionlessly, put on a mask, pulled down the knitted hat, then reached out to stop a taxi, opened the door, and said to me: "Come to the hotel where I stay at tomorrow at noon, and let's see me off together."

After I made an OK gesture to her, she got into the car and disappeared from my sight in a blink of an eye, leaving all the empty space in this huge city to me. I was really empty, because all the close friends around me left one by one.

I lit a cigarette, took out my cell phone from my pocket, and logged into my email with anticipation. I would see the email I sent to her and then reply to me.

What else is more fulfilling than what she rushes back and keeps Robben after she learns the news?
