Chapter 711: Searching in the Dusk
I sucked the cigarette between my fingers lightly and heavily, and finally picked up my phone from the table, found Le Yao's name on the WeChat contact list, and then sent her a message: "Hi!...... Where are my old friend, where are you experiencing life?"
About five minutes later, Le Yao replied to the message: "My old friend, I'm on Earth!"
I looked at it intently, smiled helplessly, and replied: "Of course I know you are on earth. Do you still have the ability to go on vacation to the moon?"
"You go away...I'm eating apples and I don't have time to pay attention to you."
I didn't mind her little arrogance and replied patiently: "It seems that you are in a good mood... Actually, I'm very hungry, but I'm not in the mood to eat!"
"No, please don't look like this. You are a man. Whether you are in a mood or not, I hope you can eat something and cheer up...!"
"Then have you eaten a few apples?... are you already cheering up?"
After a long time, Le Yao did not reply. I sent her several messages out of concern, but it was like a rock sinking into the sea and never received her reply. I fell into worry, and then thought about it in worry... Suppose she was really in Xuzhou, where would she be in Xuzhou?
She will definitely not abandon this dusk that can make people feel in melancholy, so she will definitely not stay in the hotel at this moment. So according to her past style of conduct, she is mostly sitting quietly facing the sunset on a section with railroad tracks...
The picture that suddenly formed in my brain made me sympathize with her because her happiness was built on loneliness that only she knew. The place she faced now may be only an infinitely extended railway track, a few dead trees, and the sparse villages in the distance... And the suburbs of Xuzhou really have such a place, full of dryness and loneliness. When there is no train passing by, the fallen leaves that have not been cleaned all year have almost become the only thing left in sight! And as long as the sunset falls, even the distant village will soon melt into the night!
I lowered my head and pressed the cigarette butt in my hand into the ashtray. However, my nerves were always touched by Le Yao's loneliness. Finally, I said to the waiter Xiaonuo who was idle, "Xiaonuo, go find someone with me..."
"Who?"
"I don't know if I can find it yet?... So I won't tell you for now, I'm afraid you will be disappointed if you can't find it!"
No one believed that Le Yao would come to Xuzhou, so even if I said that, Xiaonuo did not think of this: the person I wanted her to look for was a female star she liked very much. She asked curiously: "Brother Zhaoyang, who do you want me to look for? Why would you be disappointed if you can't find me?"
I was upset and really didn't feel like satisfying her curiosity, so I urged again: "Don't ask, hurry up and put on my coat, let's go!"
Seeing my serious expression, Xiaonuo finally restrained his curiosity and went to the bar to put on his coat. After I greeted Qin Yan, I put on my coat and walked out of the coffee shop before Xiaonuo, and then started the car and waited for her... The reason why I didn't look for Le Yao alone was because I avoided suspicion. I promised Mi Cai that I would be an open and honest man in front of her, so it would be better to have Xiaonuo follow her.
......
The sunset gradually disappeared on the edge of the city. I drove Xiaonuo along a section of railway tracks to the northwest of the suburbs. I knew that doing this would undoubtedly be a needle in a haystack, but there was always some hope. If I had the honor to find her, I would like to treat her to a meal and advise her to go back to Beijing, so that those who were worried about her would continue to be anxious...
It started to dark. I could no longer remember which section of the railway track I was looking for, but I still didn't find Le Yao's figure. I was a little shaken. Maybe she was not in Xuzhou at all. Even if she was there, she might be staying in the hotel. No one took her loneliness to stare at the railway tracks that could not be seen at the end...
I was a little tired, so I pulled the car aside, opened the window and lit a cigarette in my worry, and then looked at the distant place where I could no longer see the outline...
Xiao Nuo beside me was confused and finally asked me again: "Brother Zhaoyang, are you really looking for someone? Why do I feel like you are taking me for a walk?"
I took a deep breath of cigarette and replied with some melancholy: "I'm looking for someone, but I may not find it... She didn't appear in the place I imagined!"
"Then who is the person you are looking for?... Can you tell me now?"
I threw away the cigarette that I didn't finish smoking in my hand, and started the car again and replied: "Look for a while ahead. If you haven't found it, I'll go back... Let me tell you again when I go back."
Xiaonuo saw that I was in a bad mood and did not dig into it anymore. He opened the car window and helped me look at the railway tracks extending on the other side of the road...
After driving about two kilometers, Xiaonuo suddenly patted my legs and said, "Brother Zhaoyang, stop the car... Look at a woman sitting opposite the river. Is it the person you are looking for?"
I slowed down the car and subconsciously looked in the direction Xiaonuo pointed. Sure enough, I saw the familiar figure not far away. I couldn't see her expression clearly, and I could only see her sitting under a poplar tree...
She curled up because the wind was a little cold, but it was more like a physical paralysis after no love!
I stopped the car and said to Xiao Nuo beside me: "Yes, it's her...get out of the car with me and meet me, my old friend."
Xiaonuo didn't get out of the car, leaned over to stare under the poplar tree. She seemed to recognize who the woman under the tree was, but she didn't dare to confirm it. So she widened her eyes and stared at me in a daze, asking me to give her a definite answer.
I nodded and said, "That's right, the person I'm looking for is Le Yao... She is here in Xuzhou!"
Xiao Nuo came back from his shock for a while and sighed with a discontinuous tone: "It's so unbelievable. How could such a big star come to Xuzhou and sit under a poplar tree that is almost dead?...This is too!"
Xiaonuo did not find a precise word to describe his mood at this moment. I exhaled heavily and looked at Le Yao again with a thin figure. After a long time, I replied: "Celebrities are also human beings. When you can't find a safe place in your heart, your body will start to wander, and it's not uncommon to scatter anywhere... Not only her, sometimes we may not be happy than beggars, because we can't let go too much and want more!"
After I finished speaking, I untied my seat belt, opened the car door and walked towards Le Yao before Xiao Nuo. When I approached her, I felt more and more that she was afraid of the unstoppable chill in winter. I rushed to Xiao Nuo, who had not got out of the car and shouted: "Xiao Nuo, bring the down jacket I put in the car!"
