Golden Years - C105
I never thought I’d come back! After hanging up, I was dumbfounded. The f * ck is Saturday tomorrow! Unless I take a train, the chances of me rushing into the store at night are minus ten thousand!
When Qi Tian heard my phone call, she pitifully asked me with a sobbing tone: “Zhang Hao, do you not care if I leave or not … …” Don’t leave me alone, please…
My heart is heartbroken and soft-hearted, so I very manly said, tomorrow we go together, I will definitely bring you home safely. Rest assured that as long as you eat and rest well, you will become someone who does not care about anything else!
Sadly, in the evening when I went to the ticket office to buy a train ticket, I found that all the train tickets were sold out during the day! Really clumsy!
The words were like spilled water. If I still couldn’t rush back on Saturday night, I would really make the manager angry: a singer who was absent for two consecutive days on a weekend, this was the time when liquor was the most profitable, would you like to continue working here?
Thus, I spent money decisively to get rid of the calamity. I bought two tickets of course! I called Qi Tian at the sales counter and asked for her ID number. Luckily, there was still a bit of a discount on Saturday’s plane ticket, so both of them added up together didn’t seem to cost more than two thousand yuan.
At that time, he truly felt that money wasn’t money anymore. He just wanted to leave this place quickly and settle this matter!
Other than that, I think that this money is worth it: with Qi Tian’s current condition, she could arrive in Beijing in an hour by plane. It would save him a lot of travel time and money, which is much better than being able to do nothing.
Tianhe airport, three o’clock in the afternoon, five o’clock in Beijing.
I calculated that there should be enough time.
She didn’t buy a plane ticket that was too early because she didn’t want Qi Tian to wake up too early.
Simply speaking, after checking out of the room at noon, I decided to help Qi Tian out.
I took her to a nearby tobacco and liquor store and got her an absolutely authentic Yellow Crane Restaurant. After getting on the car, he asked the driver to stop at the most convenient place to buy five bags of Mighty Martial duck neck.
These were all local specialties in Wuhan. Qi Tian initially thought that this was something I wanted to buy, but after buying it, I told her to bring this home later on. Give the cigarettes to your family’s old man, put them at home, or give them to your relatives and friends.
It was a traditional custom to bring some specialties with you before you left for home. It’s just that Qi Tian was still young and was a little rebellious, so this kind of thing had never occurred to him before.
Actually, it didn’t matter whether she bought it or not, but I felt that carrying things home like this would at least help to ease the awkward tension between her and her parents.
At this moment, she suddenly realized something. Tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes and she said, “Of course it’s good to buy gifts, but I don’t have the money to give them to you.”
I’ll tell you what, do you think I didn’t pay enough? You can lend it to me, but I’ll pay you back in the future …
That was all. It was not even half past one when he arrived at Tianhe Airport.
Qi Tian felt that it was quite fresh. It was said that this was the first time she had flown in her entire life.
At first, I didn’t believe it. I thought the conditions in her house were pretty good. How could she not have flown? However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that this was normal. Children in Beijing didn’t travel very often, and they also had a car at home, so there weren’t many opportunities to fly.
Therefore, the procedures, security check and so on, she looked left and right, even played self-filming. From the looks of it, her mood had improved after resting for the entire night.
When we finally got on, I helped her carry her things, then sat down in the seat and left her the window seat. As I expected, she was happier.
In our current state, in the eyes of others, we really do look like a loving couple. Especially since Qi Tian was extremely beautiful, many people took another look.
After we sat down, the two of us talked a lot in private. Amongst them, Qi Tian told me one thing in a serious manner, which was the true reason why he left home a year ago.
It turned out that it wasn’t because he had failed the college entrance examination and wasn’t willing to break up with his family; it was more for the sake of avoiding disaster.
She said it was true that she had three boyfriends at the same time before the college entrance exam. Among them, her favorite model was that male model. It seemed like it was introduced to her by Fei Fei. The one she liked the most was that high school classmate, and the one she disliked the most was that social hoodlum.
It seems that Qi Tian really liked that male model a lot. She even gestured to me towards her stomach, saying that once he took off his clothes, she would have a piece of her abs muscles with sharp edges.
But there was no helping it, that hoodlum kept pestering her. In the end, the hoodlum found out that she was the same target as him and stabbed him.
Furthermore, that hoodlum even knew the address inside Qi Tian’s house. They even came to cause trouble a few times.
In short, with all sorts of messy situations added together, Qi Tian left Beijing.
As for the model, he left the hospital and went back to his hometown to develop.
As for whether what she said was true or not, it didn’t really matter to me. What mattered was the feeling that she truly regarded me as someone very close to her and then opened her heart to me.
In any case, in that more cramped environment on the plane, Qi Tian talked a lot more than usual. When I asked her if it still hurt, she cut her throat and said, “It’s not like you lost something, but even if I did, you wouldn’t be able to deal with it …”
If you can talk to me like that, it’s a lot better than yesterday. It doesn’t look like there’s any effect on me, so I don’t have to worry.
Arriving in Beijing on time, he caught a cab to take her home, blocking the way and driving her home faster.
I had watched her on the phone before, and I had specifically reminded her to be in good shape and not be in a hurry. For once, she did.
The effect didn’t seem too bad. After saying that to her family, she should be waiting for her right now. We were standing downstairs with our bags in our hands, and we could see the light from her veranda.
Then she stopped and turned to me. Will you come up with me?
I smiled and said, “Why would I go back with you?” Besides, didn’t you not mention to uncle and aunt that you were with me? I can’t explain it at all. It’s like I took the girl away.
Qi Tian spat out before muttering, “If only it was you who kidnapped me …”
After that, after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly said quite formally, “Zhang Hao, I thank you.”
Why did you come up to our house and wait for you?
She nodded and said I was leaving, so she took the cigarette and the duck neck I had held for her with her bag on her back.
Seeing Qi Tian walk into the corridor with a twist of the body, I felt like a huge boulder had finally dropped to the ground.
Moreover, I don’t think that this trip with her in Wuhan cost me thousands of yuan. Because I felt that helping her was like learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds.
Of course, there was still a little heartache. As a person, one had to be honest. Haha, it was impossible not to feel heartache.
The drinks started at seven, and I sang around ten. There was definitely no time to go back and pick up the car, so he could only immediately call a taxi and head over to the store.
He was carrying a bag of wine, which happened to be exactly 9: 00 PM. Fortunately, nothing was delayed.
When the manager saw me, he forced out a smile and said, Zhang Hao, you’re here. When the girl finished singing, you can go up. You weren’t here last night, and you’re not happy to have a guest…
I nodded and said thank you to the manager for never doing it again. After greeting the people around us, I immediately went to the stage to sit down. I tossed my bag over to Shuai Shuai for him to place in there, saying quickly pour me a cup of water!
Shuai Shuai hasn’t seen me for a week, and he’s also very happy. He was joking about how you came back, he scared me to death yesterday!
I asked in confusion.
Shuai Shuai told me that you didn’t come back yesterday, and didn’t receive any news; Last night, there were almost no singers in our shop!
I frowned and asked Zhenzhen what was going on. She should be able to keep up appearances on Friday, right?
Shuai Shuai looked around to see that there was no one around, then came over and told me, Brother, don’t be angry because I told you something. I heard Zhenzhen talking to a man on the phone last Wednesday night. It seemed like the man was also a pretty good singer, mainly staying at Houhai.
Shuai Shuai had also said that the phone call at that time, showed that Zhenzhen was very close to the other party. He had even arranged for a better venue for Zhenzhen to enjoy his singing. He had applied for a leave of absence on Friday yesterday, so maybe after a period of time, he would completely stop working here.
I made an ‘oh’ sound, and I had a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
I suddenly realized that when I thought that my relationship with Zhenzhen would continue and that there would be harmony between us in terms of music and other needs, it suddenly changed!
This feeling of loss and jealousy all surged up within him.
I asked subconsciously. Was it the man who called me on the car the other day?
Shuai Shuai thought about it and said, I think so.
I didn’t say anything else. All I thought about was that after I finished tonight’s work, I would definitely call Zhenzhen and find a chance to ask about it.
Then I drank some water and looked into the shop and saw that several tables were full, down near the stage. They were all well-dressed people who exuded a literary style. There was also a table that looked like a student.
I asked Shuai Shuai what’s going on? To whom?
Shuai Shuai was amused, and thought it was strange! Last night we had a student singer here, a girl! The f * ck’s voice is almost the same as Zeng Yi’s, I didn’t even hear what he said, there’s actually a lot of people praising his!
I say, is there such a thing?
Shuai Shuai was right! I heard from the manager that it was recommended by a musician in the circle, and he went straight to our boss. The first time they sang in the store last night, it was quite spectacular. There were around 20 people cheering for them! Tonight, too. The tables in front are full!
I nodded, then turned my attention back to the stage.
Sure enough, a girl came on stage at this time. She had mushroom like hair and pretty delicate facial features. Moreover, this girl seemed to be more taciturn as she sat on the swivel chair without saying a word. And then …
There was a long-haired girl sitting on her left, playing the keyboard; there was a boy in a hip-hop hat sitting on her right, playing the electric box.
I only said fxcking ‘fuck’ back then. Where did this girl come from? Her lineup is really not small! Did he bring a professional musician with him?
