Last time, I didn't go to supper with Kawatoku and them, and I felt that the relationship between the two of us quickly cooled down because of this.
The sensitive Chuan De has already sensed that I am deliberately keeping my distance from him. Ever since I said that I was not from the same world as them, he looked at me for at least 30 seconds, and finally turned away without saying anything, without even asking why.
I believe that I am not the only one who has been anxious to dissociate himself from him during this period of time. In order to maintain his self-esteem, Chuan De will choose to stay away as soon as possible.
The moment he turned to leave, I forced myself to leave.
Knowing that the outcome of a relationship is a tragedy, it is better not to let it start in the morning. Although I can't tell how Chuande feels about me in my heart, I already know my own intentions, so I keep telling myself not to make mistakes.
Mr. Wei is really a man who keeps his promises.
A week later, I saw someone else again in Rosemary.
Because of his arrival, I took the initiative to sing the song "The End of the World".
At the end of the song, an oversized flower basket was sent to the stage.
Because of Mr. Wei's arrival, there was a wave of nostalgia in rosemary inadvertently. The nostalgic golden songs I sang gained a large number of fans.
When my performance was over, I took the initiative to walk to Mr. Wei's side to reminisce: "You came back from a business trip, is everything going well?"
The man nodded slightly: "It's okay, there was a little episode in it." So it was delayed for one more day, and the plane arrived in the afternoon. ”
Feeling that I was valued, I hurriedly said, "You are on such a hard trip, why are you in a hurry to come here today." The body is important and should be left at home to rest. ”
The man said generously: "It's okay, coming to listen to songs and drink is also a way for me to rest." ”
Hearing him say this, I felt a little better: "Look at you, a little tired?"
"Xiaoxiao, your eyes are so sharp. The year is over, and business is difficult. ”
02
Seeing the tired face of the person sitting across from me, I asked with concern, "Is the problem solved in the end?"
Mr. Wei nodded.
I put on a cheerful expression: "That's good!"
I've been around chatting with guests for a long time.
If the guest doesn't want to say more, I won't ask.
It is enough to ask only one result for everything.
If you ask too much, you just don't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes.
After all, in these days, everyone is accustomed to only looking at the results and not asking about the process.
Mr. Wei suddenly handed over a paper bag and said kindly: "I brought you a small gift by the way when I was on a business trip, open it and see if you like it?"
In rosemary guests give gifts, there are occasional things.
But this is the first time I've met.
Looking at the small red bag, I didn't reach out to pick it up immediately: "What's so embarrassing? You have already given me a big flower basket, and I really don't dare to accept the gift." ”
Seeing that I didn't reach for it, Mr. Wei smiled with an appreciative look: "Xiaoxiao, I knew you would say that." Don't worry, open it and see what I've given you?"
My curiosity was aroused, and with a suspicious expression, I reached for the bag and opened it. It turned out that there was a small embroidered silk scarf made of silk, and when the silk scarf was shaken off, it was found that a large piece of lotus was embroidered with a few fresh and elegant small white flowers.
Mr. Wei pointed to the little white flowers and said, "I happened to go to the silk country on a business trip this time, and I passed by a store and found an embroidery lady sitting at the door embroidering small white flowers. I thought of you right away, so I brought it back to you. ”
"It's just a small gift, please smile!"
It's really not a matter to send a small silk scarf between friends.
Without any psychological burden, I quickly accepted it: "Thank you, I like it very much." ”
"It's good to like it. ”
03
"Xiaoxiao, are you going back for the New Year?"
I shook my head: "It's a bit of a thing, I can't go home for reunion in the New Year." ”
"You have a home and can't go back, I'm homeless. ”
Seeing that I was surprised, Mr. Wei explained indifferently: "My parents are no longer there, so I don't want to go back to my hometown after a long journey. Parents are here, and there is still a place to come in life. Parents go. There is only one way back in life!"
The indifferent attitude of the people in front of me in the face of life and death made me inexplicably admire: "Then your hometown, is there anyone else?"
"There are still a few uncles and aunts left in my hometown, but after my parents left, the relationship between me and them naturally faded. Even if I reluctantly go back for the New Year, I don't have anything superfluous to say when I meet except to talk about a few things when I was a child. ”
I expressed my understanding: "If you have time during the Chinese New Year, you can come to Rosemary to have fun." We have a lot of activities scheduled and it will definitely be lively by then. ”
I'm telling the truth.
The city is full of people from all over the world, and many of them are unable to return home to their loved ones for various reasons. So Brother Gang, who planned to take advantage of this business opportunity, made the decision not to close for the New Year.
Of course, those of us who decided to stay, our salaries have been doubled these days. And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, each has a New Year's red envelope.
As soon as this news came out, the people on and off rosemary were extremely excited.
Xiao Hunan laughed until his eyes narrowed into a slit: "I didn't want to go back to my hometown to listen to my parents' nagging when I broke up with my boyfriend, but I didn't expect that I could take the opportunity to make more money." ”
I clapped my hands with her: "yes, there is nothing to make money." ”
Xiao Hunan deeply agreed with my words: "What bullshit love, let it roll." When my sister and I become rich and beautiful one day, love will come to me by itself. ”
04
Hearing me say that rosemary will continue to be open for business for the next few days during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Wei showed interest: "That's great, if I have time, I'll come over and have a lively time with you." ”
Of course I was happy: "That's great!"
Because the gift given to me by the person on the other side was just a small silk scarf, I accepted it without any psychological burden. Although it is normal for guests to give gifts, I am young but not naïve enough to think that there are gifts in this world that can be received for free.
The gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price.
Excessive greed will eventually pay a corresponding price.
The Gu family and Mr. Dajiang are the best portrayal.
When I called home, my parents regretted that I couldn't go home for the Chinese New Year. But after listening to me explain why, they still understood. My mother even said, "If you don't come back, you won't come back, this round-trip fare is not cheap." When you are out by yourself, remember to eat better for Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
I said yes again and again.
Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xiaojun and I met in a hurry the day before he went home for the New Year. I haven't seen it for a while, Xiaojun is a lot darker and thinner, but he is also a lot more sophisticated.
It's just that what I never expected was that the first thing Xiaojun said when they met: "Xiaoxiao, I have already found a good store." ”
I was so anxious that I stomped my feet and shouted, "Why are you still going to open a store? ”
In the face of me who was so excited that I danced with my hands, Xiaojun was obviously much calmer: "Of course, there are risks in doing business. ”
I hesitated and said, "What if I lose it?"
Xiao Jun, who was full of confidence, asked in a hurry: "Then what if it succeeds?"
Half-to-half opportunity.
Seeing that I couldn't explain the little army that insisted on going his own way, I had no choice but to say, "Then if you have anything in the future, you must tell me." ”
"Naturally."
After exchanging each other's circumstances, we were separated from each other when we were busy, and we didn't even eat together. At this time, we all feel a little nostalgic for the time when we first came to this city, and we have endless things to say.
Nowadays, we can only miss each other once in a while!
05
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I came to Rosemary early.
On this day, because the library was closed, I could only stay in the staff dormitory during the day to review and do problems. But if you are bored in that cramped and enclosed space all day, you will inevitably get dizzy.
Add to that the occasional noise from a few girls around me, and my attention would be interrupted. I had no choice but to hide in a small park on the side of the street to study.
Even though I had been prepared, I wrapped myself into an oversized rice dumpling, and after less than three hours in the cold wind of deep winter, my upper and lower teeth froze until they creaked and squeaked. An unbearable chill gradually spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body, and finally it was so cold that I couldn't even hold a pen unconsciously.
At this point, I realized that I couldn't hold on any longer.
In case you catch a cold, it's not cost-effective.
Because once I caught a cold, my hoarse voice would definitely not be able to perform on stage. Then my original intention of choosing not to go home for the Spring Festival is meaningless.
I couldn't stand the cold, so I stuffed the books into my backpack and hurried to Rosemary.
As soon as I entered Rosemary, the heated air conditioner made me feel like I was back in the world from the ice and snow. I noticed that the bar was decorated with festive New Year's props, and I felt healed in the midst of a boom.
Only half of the staff left in the bar were left at the moment, and Brother Gang was extremely surprised when he saw me arriving early: "Xiaoxiao, why are you here so early today?"
I said truthfully, "Anyway, I don't have a place to go, so I'll come early." If there is anything I need to do, I will not be polite. ”
My refreshment made Brother Gang very useful: "Since this is the case, then you are welcome." I've prepared some frozen dumplings, and you're here just in time to help the big guys cook them. It's good that today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and we Chinese always have to eat a dumpling to call it the New Year. ”
"It's just right to cook and eat now, and after a while, the guests will eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home and come over to play, and we people will no longer have time to eat." ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
06
Don't look at Brother Gang, who is iron-faced and selfless many times, he is still very humane at critical moments.
Just as I was about to run towards the back kitchen, I suddenly heard someone calling my name in the direction of the door.
Looking back, there was a middle-aged man standing next to Xiao Su who looked a little familiar. I walked over suspiciously, and the middle-aged man asked very politely, "Excuse me, are you Miss Xiaoxiao?"
"Well, I am. Who are you?"
The man smiled and introduced himself politely: "I'm Wei Sheng's driver, and he can't leave today when he greets his friends at home." Let me bring you the dumplings and soup that my aunt has made and let me say Happy New Year to you for him!"
"Wei Sheng said that in two days, he will definitely come over to listen to you sing. ”
I never thought that I would be so remembered and treated by people on this special day. With mixed feelings, I hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei is too polite, he ......"
I was suddenly speechless, and I was so poor that I couldn't think of a suitable word to describe this unexpected goodness.
Seeing that I was stunned and didn't move, Xiao Su, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly took the initiative to take the heavy bag in the man's hand and said, "Give it to me, I'll send Miss Xiaoxiao to the lounge later." ”
After the man handed over the things to Xiao Su, he didn't forget to greet politely: "There is work, hard work!"
In a mixed place like a bar, Xiao Su, who is used to seeing all kinds of difficult cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, suddenly became a little cramped: "No...... It's nothing but a gesture, please say Happy New Year to Mr. Wei for us!"
"Thank you, I will definitely convey it!"
07
Mr. Driver should be very busy, and when he saw that the matter was done, he immediately politely said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Because of his good impression, Xiao Su personally opened the door and sent people out.
I walked inside with a heavy bag, and Brother Gang came to me quietly: "Xiaoxiao, it seems that this Mr. Wei is very attentive to you." ”
I was incoherent, so I had to say, "Mr. Wei, others are good." ”
Brother Gang smiled meaningfully, and didn't say anything: "Since it's someone else's heart, then you should hurry up and eat it while it's hot." I let other people cook the frozen dumplings, don't worry. ”
When I returned to the dressing room and opened the insulated bag, I found two insulated buckets inside. When I took out the thermos bucket, I found that there was a red envelope inside, and three big characters were printed on it - New Year's money.
I flipped through the back of the red envelope, which read: "I wish Xiaoxiao a happy new year, and may every effort you make in the new year be fruitful!"
Moved, I opened the red envelope and looked at it.
Originally, I was thinking that if the amount in the red envelope was too much, I would wait for Mr. Wei to come over and find a chance to return it. When I counted the brand-new banknotes in the red envelope, it was a very auspicious number - 668.
This red envelope, like the little silk scarf, is just right for me to refuse the kindness of the giver. The gift is not heavy, but it can make the recipient of the gift fully feel the deep affection.
With gratitude, I opened the two thermos cups and found them so full that I couldn't eat them all by myself. Adhering to the psychology of not wasting it, I quietly called Xiao Hunan in to share while no one was paying attention.
08
Since the last time she broke up with her boyfriend, Xiao Hunan and I have become good friends. She has become a true friend to me in the long time I've been working with rosemary.
Xiao Hunan, who ate a mouth full of oil, said enviously when he heard that it was the guest who gave me a big flower basket and asked someone to give me these delicacies in Chinese New Year's Eve: "Xiaoxiao, how do I feel that the story of Sister Daisy will be reproduced in you." ”
I was puzzled: "What do you mean, how do you get involved with Sister Daisy?"
"Hehe, you didn't come at that time, Sister Daisy's husband at that time, no. It should be said that at that time, Sister Daisy's boyfriend would often bring her all kinds of weird delicacies, which we all know in Rosemary. ”
I glared at her, "What nonsense?"
Xiao Hunan covered his mouth and snickered: "Where did I say nonsense, this Mr. Wei must be interested in you so much." When you two sat and talked, I saw him twice from afar. He should be a little old when he looks like him, you must ask if he is married?"
"Don't jump right in without knowing anything. ”
I rolled my eyes: "Why don't you talk more and more unscored, who said I was going to dive headlong into it." My relationship with Mr. Wei is just ordinary friends, and he sees me as a little girl who spends the New Year alone in other places. ”
Xiao Hunan laughed: "Okay, what do you say I will listen to." At that time, when Sister Daisy's husband chased and beat her, she also said that she was a friend. What is the final result, do you need to tell me?"
After Xiao Hunan finished speaking, he didn't forget to wink at me ambiguously.
I was a little annoyed, so I sandwiched a steaming dumpling and stuffed it into Xiao Hunan's mouth without saying anything: "Eat yours, I can't stop your mouth if I have yours." ”
After a strange scream, Xiao Hunan finally became honest.
09
When I came out of the dressing room, I felt that the eyes of the people around me were suddenly full of ridicule. Xiao Su walked up to me with a plate in his hand, and deliberately asked in an ambiguous tone, "Xiaoxiao, are you done eating the dumplings?"
"I'm done. ”
"How's it taste?"
"Good. ”
Because of Xiao Su's special identity, I had to stand in place and answer his "ill-intentioned" questions.
Xiao Su laughed evilly, and deliberately sold miserably: "It's still Xiaoxiao, your life is good, where is it like we can only eat quick-frozen dumplings." ”
After speaking, he approached me and whispered, "When the man left just now, he instructed me, saying that Mr. Wei asked me to wait for you to come to the stage today to help him send him a big flower basket to cheer you on, which is considered a New Year's gift for you." ”
"Look at how interesting people are, if you don't get people, the ceremony will come!"
After speaking, he changed his words: "But Xiaoxiao, my ugly words for the New Year are ahead." Although Mr. Wei is an old guest of our rosemary, I can help him send you this big flower basket today, but the commission must wait for others to come and settle the fee before giving it to you. ”
Hearing Xiao Su say this, I was not worried at all, and immediately said, "No problem." ”
Seeing that my answer was so unexpected and refreshing, Xiao Su immediately explained: "Xiaoxiao, it's not that I want to embarrass you on purpose. ”
I nodded: "Brother Su, you don't have to say so much, I understand." Rosemary has the rules of rosemary, and I'm sure Mr. Wei won't default on it. The early knot and the late knot are all knots, it doesn't matter to me at all, I don't have any other thoughts when I rest assured. ”
"Xiaoxiao, it's great that you can think like this. ”
"Brother Su, are you okay? If it's okay, I'm ready to wait. ”
Xiao Su looked at me and asked, "I asked you something?"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Gu Nian, has something happened recently?"
I was taken aback, so I pretended to be okay and asked calmly, "Why do you ask that?"
10
Xiao Su looked around and asked in a low voice, "Gu Nian found me a few days ago and asked if there were any other bands that wanted to recruit guitarists?"
Feeling strange, I immediately asked, "Could it be that Gu Nian, he doesn't want to perform with Chubby and them?"
Xiao Su shook his head: "That's not it, you also know, Xiaopang and several of them are college students." They usually have to focus on their studies, and they can't come to perform seven days a week. ”
"Brother Su, since that's the case, didn't you ask Gu Nian the reason?"
"Of course I asked, but Gu Nian didn't say anything about it after arguing with me for a long time. So I guess something should have happened to this kid?"
Xiao Su glanced at me and asked tentatively, "I see that the two of you usually get close, and he cares about you very much." Presumably, your relationship must be better than the average person, so I thought about coming over and asking you. ”
Since the Gu family's accident, it is a fact that Chuande must not have as much money as before, but there must be other reasons behind his sudden desperate efforts. Could it be that something happened during this time, something I don't know?
In the face of Xiao Su's inquiry, I had to say, "I don't know very well. Gu Nian and I haven't spoken much lately. ”
Hearing me say this, Xiao Su became vigilant: "Xiaoxiao, are you and Gu Nian okay?"
I smiled, "Of course we're fine, what do you think?"
Xiao Su said reassuringly: "That's good, I should not pinch the two of you when you two make trouble?"
"Brother Su, Gu Nian and I are not three-year-old children, how can we not make trouble at every turn? We are friends, but we are all busy with our own affairs during this time, so we don't talk much. ”
"That's okay, since nothing happened to Gu Nian, I'll put my heart in my stomach. Forget about others, but this Gu Nian and you and I really treat you as my own brothers and sisters, and I hope you will be fine in the future!"
I said smartly, "Thank you, Brother Su!"
