After Le Yao left, I sat alone facing the wall for a long time. I seemed to see loneliness turning into a gust of wind blowing past me. I turned on the lighter and watched the flames jump in the wind and extinguished again. After repeating this several times, the loneliness in my heart seemed to be burned out, and then a strange feeling arose. It was not good or bad, but it trapped my body and made me not want to leave here immediately and pursue the city lights...

A high-speed train roared in. There was suddenly a crowd in the wilderness that had no end. Unfortunately, Leyao did not see this scene, but I did not dare to regard the train that I had passed for a long time as a gift to me this night, because I saw the people walking through the journey in the carriage, who were even more lonely than me, at least my hometown was behind me, but they left their hometown because of this journey.

......

Since Micai officially served as the executive president of Xinlu Energy, her exposure rate has increased significantly, so on the night after returning home, I saw news about her again. This time, on behalf of the group, she vertically acquired a downstream large enterprise mainly in the manufacturing of energy-saving appliances. This acquisition is called a classic textbook case by the industry. It also agreed that after Xinlu Energy acquires this company, it will make a new breakthrough in the share of technology and energy markets, and will dominate the development of this industry and become a veritable energy giant!

I lit a cigarette, put down the tablet in my hand, Konghuan thought about Mi Cai's current appearance, and I must have devoted myself to heavy work again. Her weight gained during the travel period should return to normal. Unfortunately, this time, the acquisition behavior of her representing the group was just a text report, and the accompanying pictures were just photos she had used. Otherwise, I would really take this opportunity to see how she looks now.

I looked at the ceiling, took a deep breath of smoke, and I was extremely eager to make another breakthrough in my career, because the career I was doing at this moment was a small fuss compared to Micai. How could I lose to my woman far away?

That's right, at this time, I have regarded Mi Cai as my career competitor from afar. I may not have that much energy to get involved in the energy industry, but at least I can't be worse than her. In this way, when she comes back to find me, we will no longer have to worry about the gap in status. By then, I don't want to call her Mr. Mi, nor do I want her to call me Mr. Zhao. We can leave our wealth behind and hold hands together, or at dusk or in the morning, and walk on the Mochou Road!

The next day, in this winter city, I rarely saw a blue gem-like sky. I was intrigued. I put on my long-lost sports equipment and ran around the familiar moat, and then sat in the transformed small fitness square to chat with Old Man Li about the group of pigeons he raised, and the cat I gave him last time. Later, we went to the newly opened snack shop opposite, drank a bowl of spicy soup, and ate a few rice cakes. Of course, I was the one who paid the bill in the end, because Old Man Li was not a generous person, but this did not affect me coming here to chat with him as soon as I had time, because I like the world of the elderly very much. Their wealth and feelings have been set and there will be no more changes. Putting aside life and death, the sense of security they have in life is what we young people lack the most, so I envy him very much.

After breakfast, Old Man Li and I walked to the square next to the moat. Today is my rare day off. I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to enjoy a morning with blue sky and sunshine here.

The aunts who helped me take care of the guitar returned the guitar that Micai used to give me the opportunity to encourage me to sing for them. This made me very likely to become a friend of women. But I didn't care at all. I smiled and asked them, "What song do you want to listen to?"

One of the aunts leading the dance replied kindly: "This time, you sing what you want to sing. We aunts all forced you to sing square songs that you have been singing for so long... It's time to give you the right to sing freely... Sing well, kid! After singing, we will listen to you sing pop songs in the future!"

I replied politely: "Auntie, this is your territory, just be happy! ... but don't say anything about how you forced me. Even if you really forced me, I wouldn't dare to be emotional. After all, I still want to come here to sit in the future!"

The aunt led the dance covered her mouth and smiled, then patted my shoulder, and said, "Naughty! I'll be talking bad about us!"

I smiled with the aunt, then closed my eyes and thought carefully about what song to sing. Because aunts are usually too domineering, this opportunity to choose to sing by themselves is really rare. After a while, I finally plucked the strings of the guitar. This time I didn’t want to sing folk songs or rock. I sang a classic song in pop music "Dream A Scene". As for why I sing this song, I don’t know. Maybe it’s just out of inertia, because I have sang this song "Dream A Scene" here countless times. I remember that Jian Wei really liked it at that time, and of course I also loved the house and the Ugly!

"We all promised each other because of loneliness, we were tired of life because of torture, but how long will it take for such days, the same way, we changed our attitude and accepted each other. We were wronged and fulfilled our dreams to fulfill, but how much is left in such days, it doesn't matter. I often think of the tenderness of the past, which makes me not cold at night. You say that the beauty of a person is serious, and that two people can be together is fate. If I had known this, it would be like a dream, why would I put love in the same place? I can forgive your arrogance. What is arrogant is that I cannot forget it myself. If I had known this, it would be like a dream, why would I have to lock my tears in my eyes, let you go crazy, let you be strong in a place without me, let me heal in a place without you..."

I closed my eyes and sang the whole time, because the lyrics here seemed to be talking about the past between Jian Wei and me. After separation, she was strong in a place without me, and I healed in a place without her. Now it seems that the love that created countless emotions for us was really just a dream on a morning when we were not awake enough, but in the dream, we made each other blood dripping, and then each suffered for many years... But who should we blame?

It’s just that we blame each other for being too young and not finding the most correct way to deal with love!

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Jian Wei wearing a one-piece hood and a mask. She was standing beside me, as if she had listened to me singing this song throughout the whole process...

I quickly patted off the dust on my pants, stood up from the ground, and looked at her at a loss. Since she lost some of her memory, I never thought she would come to this place again...

She took off her mask as if nothing had happened, put down her hood, and then tidyed her hair on her sideburns and said to me: "So you can play guitar and sing well!"

I nodded, suppressed my nervousness and asked her, "Why are you here?"

She looked up at the sky and replied, "The air is good today, so I wanted to go out for a walk and walked here unknowingly... However, the surrounding environment seems to have been transformed. I remember that this section of the river did not have this fitness square in the past."

For some reason, after trying to find out that Jian Wei's memory is still missing, I felt a little relaxed in my heart. I finally said to her: "This fitness plaza was built in the first half of this year. Since the establishment of this plaza, more people have come here for a walk and exercise. It was still quite deserted before!"

"Haha..." Jian Wei smiled, then turned around and lay on the guardrail by the river. She looked at the other side that had not been transformed. There were still tall buildings on the other side, full of the atmosphere of a modern city.

I put the guitar into the piano case, carried it on myself, and then stood beside her, greeting the breeze blowing from the other side of the river. In my memory, it seems that the winter in Suzhou has never been so gentle.

"Zhaoyang, can you tell me what it feels like to like someone?"

I thought about it and replied: "Like someone, sometimes even waiting for him or her is a kind of happiness!"

She finally turned to look at me, but I couldn't look at her, but just looked at the river surface in front of me where Jian Wei and I had jumped down. At that time, I jumped down to save the guitar she gave me, but she saved my life. At this time, the river surface seemed so calm that it had never experienced this thrilling thing.

I lit a cigarette, and Jian Wei put on a mask again. She hated the smell of smoke that spread from me, so the topic ended like this and we fell into silence. I was not uncomfortable because of this silence, because in Jian Wei's eyes, I was at most a friend who was stronger by strangers. Our past is just a dream for her now, so we don't have to face each other with a heavy burden as we used to.

After a while, Jian Wei did not say goodbye to me, so she walked along the road on the river bank towards her return. When she was about to be unable to see her figure, a taxi stopped on the river bank, and then Mo Zishi opened the car door. He walked from the road above to the small road beside the river bank, hurriedly chasing Jian Wei's footsteps...

They went further and further as they were pulling, they seemed to hold hands, but they didn't seem to hold them... I was too far away from them, and I couldn't see them in a real way!

It seemed like I had a dream in a trance, and my morning ended like this!...

......

In the afternoon, I went to the Mochou Road in Nanjing again. I wanted to see the cat I raised in the "Mochou Coffee Shop". Why should I raise this cat?

It was just because the cat dealer told me that it would take about two years for this breed to grow up, and I bought it with all my heart. I calculated that when the cat stopped growing, Micai would come back. If you wait in this way of comparison, time would not be so difficult. This is the experience I summarized in the year after Micai left.

I pushed open the door of the "Mochou Coffee Shop" in the gentle afternoon sun and shouted: "Xiaodao (the name I gave the cat), Xiaodao, your brother is here, why don't you come out and pick him up quickly."

Immediately, a gray kitten about the length of chopsticks shrank in the corner below the bar and "meowed" twice. I walked over and picked it up, complaining, "Are you worthy of me giving you such a tough guy name? Last time I came, you were hiding next to the flowerpot and peeing, but this time I hugged under the bar and shivered... Can't you welcome your brother's arrival in a brave way?"

The waiters were amused by me and covered their mouths and laughed. I didn't care at all. I held the knife in my arms and watched it in real time. It grew very slowly and I didn't notice any signs of it growing up during this period. So I put it back under the bar with frustration and continued to shake...

This afternoon, I stayed in the "Mochou Coffee Shop" and had not been idle. I made several simple-style flower stands with idle wood. I had planned to plant all kinds of flowers in the small yard behind when next spring comes.

The winter dusk has arrived around four o'clock. After I was busy, I sat near the window with a knife in my arms, enjoying a cup of coffee. I will return to Suzhou later, but I can't bear to leave everything in this coffee shop, especially the rainbow-shaped window, and the carefree experience I have experienced here. Sometimes I also think: If I am not dragged down by worldly fame and fortune, I really hope to stay in this Mochou coffee shop like this, as if I had a dream waiting for Mi Cai to return.

While drinking coffee, I saw an entertainment news about Le Yao. Her agent took her to issue a statement that from now on, she would change her name to Xiao Yao with her father's surname Xiao. From now on, if she and Cao Jinfei have two children, one with her surname Xiao, and the other naturally has Cao Jinfei's surname Cao...

After the publication of this statement, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the public. They were all guessing what happened in Le Yao in the past, why did she follow her mother's surname in the middle, and now she takes her father's surname?... However, this kind of discussion seems completely meaningless to us insiders. If Le Yao hadn't been too persistent, she would have taken her father's surname a few years ago. Why would she wander to Suzhou like this? After those hard years, I still clearly remember: At that time, she was really just a little model who often had no jobs to take!

Just as I was about to lock the screen of my phone, I accidentally saw another gossip news. The protagonist turned out to be Fang Yuan, who has always been cautious and conservative in his work. The news broke that he and a female star from Chongqing were suspected to have an improper relationship with each other. Someone once saw the two of them behave in close manners in a luxury hotel in Macau!
