On a summer afternoon, I embarked on this journey, a business trip that was sent out for work. It's always a bit lonely to leave home, but the mission in front of me makes me have no time to take care of it. As the wheels turned, I came to a strange town that would be my place to stay for some time to come.
It was late afternoon when I arrived, and I dragged my heavy luggage through the bustling streets and headed straight for my booked homestay. The name of the guesthouse is "Sunshine Cottage", and it sounds like it has a touch of warmth and tranquility. The vines in front of the door swayed gently in the breeze, signaling that it would be a comfortable place to stay.
Pushing open the door, a fresh woody scent greets you, and the room is simply but warmly furnished, with faint watercolors hanging on the walls and a book at the head of the bed. I put down my luggage and felt the warmth of this foreign place.
"Welcome. A soft voice broke my feelings about the room, and I turned my head to see a woman in a floral dress with a bright smile standing at the door, she was the proprietress of this homestay.
She had clear eyes, as clear as spring water, and she turned her head slightly to throw a charming smile at me. "I'm Light Rain, welcome to the Sunshine Cottage. Her voice is soft and beautiful, with a hint of country, which makes people's hearts warm.
I politely responded, "Hello, Xiaoyu. My surname is Zhang and I am very happy to be able to live here for a while. ”
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, took me to familiarize myself with the facilities of the room, and told me about some good places and snack bars nearby. Under her guidance, I began to gradually integrate into the life of this town, leaving early and returning late every day, feeling the customs and customs of other places.
In the process, the communication between me and Xiaoyu became more and more frequent. She is a very ingenious woman who not only welcomes every guest, but also cooks for us and prepares delicious home-cooked dishes for us. We are chatting about life and ideals, and the distance between us is slowly narrowing.
But just when I thought this long-distance life would be smooth sailing, a sudden change of events shattered the peace.
One day, I bumped into an old friend on the street, and he told me that there was some change in my job and that I needed to return to the city as soon as possible to deal with it. My heart tightened, which meant I had to end my journey in this town early.
Back at the Sunshine Cottage, I explained the sudden situation to Xiaoyu, her brow furrowed slightly, but she quickly regained her smile. "Work is important, you don't have to worry too much. She comforted me softly, but the loss in her eyes was hard to hide.
On the night I packed my belongings, Xiaoyu prepared a hearty dinner for me, and the table was filled with my favorite dishes. We sat side by side, eating delicious food and talking about trivial things about life. At that moment, it was as if time stood still, and only the warmth and tacit understanding between us remained.
"Mr. Zhang, I will miss you. Xiaoyu's voice was a little choked, and she gently held my hand, with reluctance and anticipation in her eyes.
I looked at her, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart. Maybe it's because of this long-distance life, maybe it's because of her innocent care, I don't know, but I know I'll miss her too.
As the next morning, I left the Sunshine Cottage and set out on my way back to the city. The scenery outside the car window faded away, but there was a trace of reluctance and gratitude in my heart.
After returning to the city, I was overwhelmed by the busyness of work, but in my heart, the warm town and the beautiful homestay hostess always occupied a place.
One day, months later, I received a familiar phone call from the voice of a light rain on the other end of the line. "Mr. Zhang, I want to tell you good news. There was an indescribable joy in her voice.
I couldn't help but wonder what good news she was going to say. "Our sun cottage is going to be expanded, we are moving to a bigger place with more rooms and more beautiful scenery, I hope you will come and see. ”
I was thrilled to hear the news, and I knew it was an opportunity to meet again. "I'll arrange a time to go over and have a look as soon as possible, I miss the Sunshine Cottage and I miss you, Xiaoyu. ”
When I hung up the phone, my heart was full of anticipation and longing. Maybe this is the arrangement of fate, the story between me and Xiaoyu is not over, it will continue to bloom in this town and continue to be written in the sun.
