Chapter 25 The beauty of heaven, the difference of earth

On a new day, I opened my eyes. I don’t know why today, but a joy surged out of my heart. I sat up, scratched my messy hair, and looked at the desk. There was a cigarette case on it. When I reached out to smoke one, I froze. Suddenly I no longer had the desire to smoke.

I got up, washed up and went to the balcony. I looked at the sun slowly rising in the sky. I looked at it. Yesterday’s dinner made me really want to see Gu Wei. I want to see her. Shanghai is so big. , I can recognize it even if we meet by chance on the street. Even if you and I have our backs to each other, my heart will still be involved. In the vast crowd of people on the street, my heart will be the first to recognize it.

I picked up the watering can and watered the potted plants. I hoped that they would bloom and bloom the most beautiful flowers in this midsummer. Then I took them off, tied them into a bunch, and gave them to me. , she is haunted by dreams.

During the watering process, I couldn't help but look towards the small balcony on the left. I thought of Shirai Akie. She pretended to sleep yesterday. She should be better and her body recovered, but I couldn't force her to get up because she had a stubborn temper and no one could stop her from going to work when her health was better.

I picked up the phone and called Shirai Aki. The phone rang for half a minute.

"Hello."

The tone on the other end of the phone was a little weak, but also mixed with some questions. It seemed that he hadn't gotten up and was woken up by the phone. I smiled and said: "Qiu. Hui, are you feeling better?"

The other end of the phone pondered for a while, and then said: "You're feeling better, thank you for your concern."

"Well, drink more water and take care of yourself. Stop blowing the cold wind."

I spoke in a gentle tone and told Shirai Akie some things to pay attention to, especially that she left me alone that night, but I didn't mention it, as long as I knew it. , if it weren’t for her clever idea, why would we both suffer losses? I also have a fever, and so does she.

"Are you... free tonight?"

Shirai Akie asked suddenly. I was stunned and thought about the meaning of this sentence. Are you trying to trick me again? Could it be that there is something important?

"You are free, what's wrong?"

I asked back, somewhat expecting her answer to be the same as what I had guessed.

"I want to treat you to a meal."

I immediately felt a sense of danger, like a spider sense, and my hair stood on end, remembering that this woman used this method They deceived me into going outside. They would not do the same thing this time and throw me to a farther and more remote place in the name of "eating". If this was the case, it would be too late to regret it. If I did it again, I might lose my job.

I wanted to refuse, so I said: "No, I..."

"I'm sorry."

She interrupted me When he spoke, his tone was very firm and he apologized categorically. This kind of decisiveness can't help but make people feel sad.I thought of Gu Wei, the tone in which she broke up with me was like this. There was no room for maneuver. The overbearing tone made the other party passive and everything was at a disadvantage.

"Yesterday was my fault, so I sincerely invite you today. I want to treat you to a meal. I will not use that despicable method again, so..."

I hummed. It is rare for her to sincerely apologize, even since she met me. I am happy today, not sad, but I am hurt by touching something, and I feel a little melancholy in my heart.

"Okay, I'll pick you up after get off work, you set a time."

Shirai Aki's tone was a little happy, and I heard the sound of her walking on the other end of the phone. , I thought for a while and said: "Just stay at Gu Ming's place. I have to work overtime, and the time is set at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, I will give you a call."

After that, there was the sound of water flowing over there, and then the call was hung up. I put the phone away, lay on the balcony, and looked at the appearance of the old city. It was in stark contrast to the glorious steel forest behind me. This side is quiet and peaceful, and the other side is noisy and busy. I light a cigarette and look into the distance. The outline of the Suzhou River appears. Gu Wei, her name has been lingering in my mind for a long time. scattered.

I took off the cigarette, clamped it between my fingers, and breathed out. My mouth was bitter and my lungs were dry. I didn’t want to smoke. My physiology was rejecting nicotine. I looked at the cigarette holder and remembered Chu Yue stayed at her house that night, admiring the night view on the balcony. She took off my cigarette. I still remember what she said, "You know a girl who is willing to control your smoking, your drinking, and your freedom." , what does this mean? ”

I felt annoyed at the time, and I rejected her love for me. I didn’t pay much attention to this issue. I annoyed her, but she loved me. After thinking about it, I Thinking of the answer to this question, I threw away the cigarette, which means... She loves you very much, and she is willing to waste her youth and her years to love someone and want him to take the right path. Take the right path.

Chu Yue has left Shanghai. She has left. If she wants to meet her, she can only go to her hometown in Suzhou. Suzhou is a bit strange. I look at the Suzhou River. This river cannot be talked with Suzhou. This river is the moat of Suzhou. If I fold a paper boat and write my name on it, will it float to Suzhou and fall into the hands of Chu Yue? If nothing else, you can use a drifting bottle and carry my words with you across the vast oceans until you reach the hands of your old friend.

I sighed, everything is whimsical, it’s okay to make assumptions, but don’t deviate from reality.

I packed up my things and rushed to the company...

·... I pay special attention to time today. I pray that time will go faster so that I can reach the agreed date and see Gu Wei as soon as possible. I no longer have any contact information for Gu Wei. All these notifications areIt was Cheng Cheng, the peacemaker, who conveyed the message on his behalf.

She said that Gu Wei agreed to meet, and I was a little happy. After today, Yu Qing will be on wedding leave. From tomorrow on, my workload will double. If I can see Gu Wei tomorrow, I don’t care. No matter how many tasks you have, just work hard, work hard, work without reservation, try to get off work early, go to the appointment early, if not, I will leave early. This agreement, I must hold on to it at all costs. A hard-won opportunity.

I was the last one to leave the company. I turned off the lights, closed the door, and dragged my tired body to the door of the Guming milk tea shop to wait. The night was like solidified frost, but with a different color. , it just has one more meaning, but it can draw people into their thoughts and make them unable to extricate themselves.

After waiting for a while, the phone rang. I knew it was Shirai Akie, but in order to show that I was busy, I deliberately answered slowly for more than ten seconds. I answered the phone and looked at the car. Continuously walking on the street, he said: "Hello."

"Xiang Yang, I have arrived, where are you?"

"Oh."

I was surprised I turned around and looked around, but I didn't find the familiar red Ferrari 296Gtb. I hurriedly asked on the phone: "Don't see your car?"

"Look to the right."

I looked to the right and saw a white Mercedes-Benz amggt50 parked on the street. I couldn't believe it, so I checked the insurance and asked, "Is it that Mercedes-Benz?"

This phone call There was no reply, and the passenger window of the Mercedes-Benz AMGGT50 rolled down, "Xiangyang."

The person in the driver's seat shouted to me through the passenger window. I put down the phone and looked back, Akie Shirai was sitting in the driver's seat, dressed very well. I walked towards the car, opened the door and got on the passenger seat, fastened the seat belt, and the window automatically raised.

I looked at the interior of the Mercedes-Benz amggt50. It was very luxurious. After all, the appearance of this car was very wow, not to mention the interior. I turned to look at her. She was wearing light makeup and light pink lipstick. , looking at the front intently.

"Is this car yours?"

"Well, it has been rainy and windy recently, and the red Ferrari 296Gtb is in the garage."

She didn't bother me, and looked back at me. The nails of her hands holding the steering wheel were a little slender, and the car was a little gloomy. But this was the best scene. I could see her long hair and her eyelashes. I turned around, watched the cars sailing ahead, and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

She asked. I loosened my seat belt and adjusted my position, but I still felt uncomfortable. "What if I can buy it when?" It would be nice to get a car like this."

I complained, and she pressed a button by the window. My seat automatically adjusted, reclined slowly, and the seat belt was loosened a lot. , the air-conditioning is gentle and does not blow on my head.

"I believe you can afford a car, at least a three-wheeler."

"Damn, can anyone talk like that?"

I pretended to be angry, but she chuckle.

"Then how many wheels do you want to buy?"

She asked me with a smile. I leaned on it and changed into a comfortable position, knowing that The question came from a bad person, but he answered it anyway.

"Two wheels."

She smiled, "A bicycle?"

I didn't answer directly. This was her revenge. I wanted to let her I couldn't succeed. My fist hit the cotton. No damage could be seen at all, not even 0, and I couldn't fall into her trap. After saying "cut" with disdain, I closed my eyes and tried to squint for a while.

She stopped smiling and glanced at me from the corner of her eye, "Seeing that you are so tired, just take a nap for a while. I will call you later."

She took advantage of the moment While waiting at the traffic light, he turned to look at me and tuned a song. It didn’t have the DJ’s fierce tunes, but a gentle song. Although it sounded a bit soundproof, after all, the song was a bit old and not as fashionable as a trendy song, but for me It's perfect for people who need a break.

"Yeah."

I agreed and closed my eyes with peace of mind. While waiting for the traffic light, she raised her fingers slightly, tapped the steering wheel, and then followed the tune of the song After humming a few words, she did sing very well. I feel that Akie Shirai will be very popular when she debuts. She has a goddess-like appearance, a heavenly singing voice, and her skin is well maintained and dewy. However, her family is so rich and she lives in Tan. Gong, driving a luxury car and sports car again.

I am not willing to let her debut, and I am also a little disgusted with the unspoken rules in these aspects. This is the class gap, the gap caused by money, which makes people want to stop. The bridge built by relationships is unstable and will If it leaks, a single bridge built with money will collapse and the cost will be high.

Ordinary people like me should live a good life. It is a rare good thing to make friends like Shirai Akie who are in the upper class.

When we arrived at the place, Shirai Qiue pushed me, who was almost asleep, and said gently: "We've arrived, Xiangyang, wake up."

She pushed gently , the car had stalled, and it was very dark inside the cab. I opened my eyes, yawned, loosened my seat belt and got out of the car.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, I was blinded by the neon flashing in front of me. The sleepiness immediately dissipated. I covered it with one hand and waited for my eyes to adapt to the scene before slowly looking at it.

Shanghai Tower.

The four big characters should shine in front of me. I looked up and couldn't help but marvel. I looked down and couldn't see the end at a glance.

"Let's go, let's go to the Tianzhijin Restaurant on the 120th floor for dinner."

Shirai Akie carried her bag calmly and walked ahead calmly. I hurriedly trot to followGoing up, if I had known that I would come out in such a high-end place, I shouldn't have come out in work clothes. It was a little pricey. I looked around and saw people wearing suits or dresses. At a glance, I didn't belong to their class.

I walked in with some anxiety and followed Shirai Akie into the elevator. She seemed very relaxed. In the elevator, she and I were very nervous. It was my first time to eat in Shanghai Center. The cost of this meal is definitely not small. This time Shirai Qiue seemed to really treat me to dinner.

When we arrived at the 101st floor, the elevator door opened. When I was still wondering, she took my hand and walked out. My pupils widened, and she actually held my hand, "Don't be nervous. It's like this the first time I come here."

She said with a smile on her face. It was hard for me to break this hard-won friendship, so I followed her to the corridor. A person with a kind face appeared. , the waitress with a smiling face came over, she looked pretty good.

"Ms. Bai, I have reserved a table for two for you. Follow me, we will go to the dedicated elevator."

The waitress spoke elegantly, and listened to what she said to Shirai Akie Name: Shirai Akie should come here to eat often. I am blind and have never seen the world, so I looked around.

Shirai Akie took my wrist and followed the waitress to the special elevator leading to the 120th floor. When the elevator opened, the waitress took the opportunity to look at me quickly and said with a smile: "Shirai. Miss, this friend of yours has handsome features and is very young. He looks like someone who is destined for great things."

Her mouth was very slippery, and she actually talked about me. I smiled and didn't reply. Shirai Aki seemed to see my nervousness, and she pulled my wrist tighter. Shirai Aki helped me out and said, "Well, we still have something to talk about, so we won't stay any longer."

I was a little confused, why is it my fault? Could it be that she grabbed my wrist? She blushed nervously over such a small thing. It seemed like she was really pure.

I suddenly laughed and said: "I'm just holding hands, I'll make you nervous."

"Why are you laughing? Who allowed you to laugh."

She was a little angry, so she punched me on my arm. The force was so strong that it hurt so much that I stopped laughing immediately.

"It hurts so much to hit me, but I am your "savior"."

I wanted to scold her, but suddenly the elevator door opened and two waiters came forward. Shirai Akie and I straightened our backs immediately, no longer laughing and joking, and looked serious.

She held my hand again and followed the waiter to a seat by the window, a white cloth table with cutlery, spoons, forks, chopsticks, dinner plates, napkins...···

At first glance, it is all high-end.

"Xiangyang, be a gentleman."

Shirai Akie suddenly said, I was a little at a loss, be a gentleman? What kind of gentleman's law? Ordinary citizens like us eat casually. I have only seen so-called gentlemen on my mobile phone.

I looked at the chair and remembered that the so-called gentleman is to help her move the chair. I walked behind a chair and moved it. She then sat down elegantly and sat down. Before sitting down, I pushed the chair forward to ensure that she could get close to the dining table.

"It seems you know a lot about it."

She looked at me with a smile. I grinned and said with a smile: "I learned some related etiquette in college. , I didn’t expect it would come in handy.”

I sat down and the waiter handed me a menu. This is a Huaiyang restaurant, which is full of Huaiyang dishes. I don’t understand them. All are ordered by Shirai Aki. , I watched her explain the dishes familiarly, and then specifically asked her to order more.

She looked at me and said, "Are you afraid of heights?"

I wondered why she asked that, then shook her head and said, "Not afraid of heights." < /p>

"Look outside, you can overlook the night view of Shanghai. It is very beautiful."

I looked through the glass, and the night view of Shanghai was vividly displayed in front of my eyes. In the neon city, there is almost no darkness. There are frequent ships on the river, and there is a lot of traffic below. It feels like you are overlooking everything.

"How is it? It looks good."

I nodded. I have never seen what the night view of Shanghai looks like. I have never been to such a high level. The rainbow light below, It is my tomorrow, my today, and it is a dream that many people can never reach after working hard for half their lives.

I was very touched. This feeling of facing life directly made me feel uncomfortable all over. I turned around and stopped looking down. The dishes came one after another, and each dish was exquisite and tasted very good. It was better than mine. Living in a rented house and eating instant noodles is hundreds and thousands of times better. Perhaps, without Shirai Akie, I would never be able to sit in this position and look down. The planes flying in the night sky are dotted with them, making the starless night sky have some meaning. Color.

·······

"What happened last night was my fault for abandoning you outside."

After dinner, Shirai Qiu Hui apologized to me, and I wiped the oil from the corner of my mouth with a napkin and said, "Didn't you already apologize?"

"I felt that I was not sincere on the phone, so it would be better to apologize in person. "

She raised the goblet, took a sip of wine, and said, "Thank you for buying me the antipyretic medicine."

"It's no big deal, it's just a matter of convenience. , I also had a low fever at that time."

I leaned on the chair, crossed my legs, and breathed a sigh of relief. There were fewer people in the restaurant now.Very few.

"Let me say it first. You owe me a favor, and you will have to repay it later."

I said, and she was a little stunned. After thinking for a while, she nodded in agreement, no. Rich people's money depends on their favors. A favor is worth thousands of gold, and it can even save one's life. It is a rare good thing. Now I have one in my hand, and I am happy.

At this moment, I had put aside my fatigue and looked at her with a smile on my face. Thinking back to some happy things, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

She glanced at me, a little confused, even a little disdainful, because she was looking at her, she put down the high wine glass and asked: "What can make you so beautiful that you can't open your mouth from ear to ear?"

Anyway, I am happy today, so it is okay to tell her, "Tomorrow, I will be able to meet my ex-girlfriend. I have missed her for two years, and she is finally coming back from abroad."

She Nodding, "I understand your feelings, your ex-girlfriend must love you very much."

Shirai Qiue looked at me, the expression on my face froze, I don't know if Gu Wei She still loves me, and I don’t know how I should respond to Shirai Akie now.

"This... I don't know, but I have a story of my own. Do you want to listen to it?"

I looked at Shirai Akie. The happy look on her face had faded away, and it was replaced by seriousness. She nodded slightly and said softly: "You can listen."

I raised my goblet and poured out the expensive wine inside. After a sip of wine, I told my story under the influence of alcohol, the legend of Shanghai...

"Ah, how could this happen? All my previous efforts have been wasted." < /p>

Shirai Akie felt sorry for me. She sympathized with me a little, and even looked very sad. I understood her sympathy, just as I sympathized with her parents who were not around. I looked outside, and the night was getting deeper. Now, the neon lights are brighter, people can't sleep, and the stars are still hanging.

"Yes, it's a pity."

I said, even I feel very regretful and regretful. The error at that time was just a thought that lasted forever, a mistake. Two years of sadness, two years of pain, two years of regret.

"Well, I think I can give you a title for this experience."

Shirai Aki looked at me, eager to get my acquiescence. I thought for a while and asked asked: "What title?"

"Chasing love in the rainstorm."

I smiled and said nothing. This title is good, it can really highlight the process of this experience, and It's meaningful, and it's eye-catching, but why did she give it a title? With doubts in my mind, I asked: "Are you going to publish it in a newspaper or go on TV? I suddenly asked about the title."

I wanted to smoke, but I held it back. I looked around, but there was no one there. Smoking, smoking is prohibited here, is a bit unfriendly to me, but I understand, the more advanced theIt’s normal for places to ban smoking and dogs, and some even don’t allow mobile phones inside.

"It's nothing, I just felt sympathy, got interested, and came up with a title."

She smiled, and I looked at her smile and was infected, so I smiled too. I laughed, yes, this experience has become a thing of the past, I just named it to remind me of my nostalgia, it should be like this, that’s it...

After the dinner, I took her car , I returned to the rental house with her. Mine was rented to me, but not hers. She had already bought the house. I was speechless. After we said goodbye, I washed up and went to bed. I looked at the date on my phone. Tomorrow is the day for the appointment. I You have to go to bed early, work hard tomorrow, and then go to meet the person you have been waiting for two years with your love...
