Long Street - Chapter 39

In less than a year, Xiangyu seemed to have changed a lot of space.

The people who exercise in the tennis hall that I often go to have changed from batch to batch, but the gossip is still the gossip, nothing new.

Xiang Yu pieced together the reasons why Ansui went to Tang Yuchi in these “inadvertently” news that reached her ears.

She hasn’t even stepped into that circle for too long. She didn’t even know that Li Mao was already in jail.

The specific reasons have been spread out, and Xiang Yu didn’t go into details. He just felt that the last time I saw Li Mao and heard him tell ghost stories with his voice dumb, it seemed that it was not long ago.

But she vaguely heard that Li Mao was not the only one who was in jail.

There are other members of their Li family.

However, among these prisoners, there should be no Li Qi.

Because she met him once in the hotel under Li Qi’s name.

It was the penultimate working day before the new year. At 10 o’clock in the evening, Zhou Lie called Xiang Yu, who had just fallen asleep.

He had a very anxious tone, saying that he was going to a foreign country and asked her to go with him.

Temporary air tickets are no longer available for direct purchase. They need to stay in the Shanghai stock market for one night, and then take the earliest flight to fly abroad.

The hotel Zhou Lie booked in the Shanghai stock market was under the name of Li Qi.

Along the way, Xiang Yu was absent-minded, thinking that he would be like before, seeing the whole hotel mix and match various styles of various countries, European-style relief white pillars with national style carved beams and the like.

She is even ready to control her emotions when faced with that familiarity.

The result was no.

After entering the hotel, she even suspected that she had gone wrong.

The whole hotel is no different from other five-star hotels, simple and clean.

The air was no longer the smell of warm toasted orange, and there was no Tchaikovsky music in it.

Zhou Lie asked for two double-bed rooms and swiped his credit card.

Listening to the staff to quote the room price to Yu, I was a little puzzled.

When entering the elevator, she asked Zhou Lie: “You have something to do with the owner of this hotel?”

Is that a big discount?

Zhou Lie seemed to be worrying about work, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and casually replied: “No, the owner of this hotel is not doing very well now. Everyone comes at this price, which is quite cost-effective.”

It didn’t mix well.

Xiang Yu carefully figured out this sentence.

Before getting out of the elevator, Zhou Lie probably recovered from work and comforted her: “Don’t worry, your boyfriend’s shares should be bought to the hotel owner. He’s okay. I’m not very good. It’s the hotel owner. Someone in the family is in jail, which has a great impact on him.”

When Xiang Yu was catching the early flight the next day, he happened to meet Li Qi.

He has changed a lot from before, and he looks thinner.

No fancy dress, all the cascading jewellery was picked up, only one wedding ring.

The woman next to Li Qu was his wife, and he helped her carry the bag.

His wife didn’t know what was said to him, and he nodded numbly, looking obedient.

That day, Xiang Yu was back to the hotel to get the charger that was dropped, and ran down, just to see this scene.

She paused for a few seconds. Before Li Qi looked over, she hurriedly stuffed the charger into her bag and walked away quickly.

Li Qi must also, don’t want her to see him now.

Sitting on the plane, the past was scene after scene.

She thought of Li Qi’s dazzling pearl, like a mobile jewelry showcase, leaning on the roof of her company.

He drank coffee against the wind, and said with a smile, people like us, who can agree to live down to the face of others?

The voyage to London was long, and Xiang Yu almost ran out of voyage and trapped himself in a daze in the past.

It wasn’t until the plane had arrived over London that she pulled away from the past and joked with Zhou Lie.

“After this trip, the company still can tell what the gossip is like? Why do you think of taking me?”

Zhou Lie had been working on a computer during the entire voyage, so he should be busy at this moment.

He closed the computer: “The scene is relatively big, I really can’t think of anyone besides you who can be in and out of that kind of occasion decently.”

“Are you not telling the truth? Isn’t it because everyone except me is busy, and only I am free that brought me out?”

Zhou Lie didn’t joke anymore. He looked at Xiang Yu and suddenly said, “I feel that you are not happy this year. Taking you out is also a relief.”

Xiang Yu looked down and smiled: “Thank you, boss.”

Landing at London Airport, the plane taxiing inside the airport.

Xiang Yu was sitting next to the window, and in the surrounding light, he saw a private jet.

What she didn’t see was that “JIN” was printed on the other side of the private jet.

Jin Fubai was sitting in the private plane, leaning on the sky outside the window.

It was dusk, and the figures and buildings became hazy, like dreams.

He remembered that he used to drive Xiangyu to the beach. It was the same dusk that day, and the entire sea and beach were shrouded in dim light.

Carrying a bottle of blue nail polish to Taro, he sat in the passenger seat and said to let him drive slowly and steadily.

In Jin Fubai’s memory, when he took the driver’s license test, he never drove so well.

On their right is the sunset gradually sinking into the sea level, and on the left are rows of red-roof guest houses. It takes more than ten minutes to get there.

When she got out of the car, she raised her unevenly painted hands to Yu, saying that his driving skills were not good enough, causing her to paint her nail polish crookedly.

Her fingers were slender, and the blue nail polish went in and out, as if her hands were dyed in a paint bucket.

After he evaluated this way, he was thrown on his back, bitten and beaten.

In the end, I drove in that small seaside city. After driving for nearly an hour, I found a nail salon and unloaded the nail polish.

After leaving the door of the nail salon, Xiang Yu suddenly raised his hand, and Jin Fubai conditioned to hide.

Xiang Yu was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot: “Jin Fubai, what are you hiding?!”

He smiled and said, “Can you not hide? I thought my sister-in-law and grandma would be hitting someone.”

He glared at him and announced with his hips akimbo: “I’m tired, you can carry me.”

In fact, he likes it very much, looking like Yu Yu.

The cunning and dependence in his eyes were presented to him brightly.

There was a song on the plane, which was popular two years ago, “Nan Shan Nan”.

“He said you have any praiseworthy beauty,

Not as long as he met you for the first time. “

Jin Fubai didn’t notice the door of the cabin was opened, he just bowed his head and smiled.

The person standing at the door of the cabin was a young man about 20 years old. Seeing Jin Fubai’s smile, he was stunned: “Cousin?”

Jin Fubai faintly raised his eyes: “Come and sit down.”

The boy walked over and sat down at Jin Fubai. He sat down with a grin, took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and sipped a few mouthfuls: “Cousin, what’s the matter? He came to London to pick me up?”

“Take you back and meet someone.” Jin Fubai said.

“Men and women?”

“Do you want a man or a woman?”

The boy had an obvious smile: “Of course it is a woman, what are you doing with so many men?”

Jin Fubai’s tone was as usual: “Women from the Chu family, can you handle it?”

“Chasing after me, women, my heart is soft.”

It was 8 hours after flying back to Los Angeles. It was 10 o’clock in the night in Los Angeles. Jin Fubai drove the boys to a private restaurant.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and slowly walked into the private room.

The woman in the private room hurriedly got up, trimmed her hair, and greeted her.

Chu Linlang waited for 2 hours, but when she saw Jin Fubai, she still smiled: “Jin…”

Before she finished her words, Chu Linlang frowned when she saw the boy behind Jin Fubai, “What do you mean?”

Jin Fubai didn’t look at her, his hands were still in his pockets.

He hooked up a chair with his feet, and sat down casually: “It’s not interesting. I don’t mean that I like the surname Jin. My cousin, bring it, and introduce it to you.”

Waiting for Xiangyu to return home, it is already New Year’s Eve, and Xiang’s father and mother are rarely at home.

There was a courier box stacked at the door, and I asked Yu, and told his mother that it was brought by Tang Yuchi’s trustee from abroad.

Aunt Chen went home to celebrate the New Year. Both Xiang’s mother and Xiang’s father are good at doing business and not good at cooking.

So this year’s New Year’s Eve, there is no warm family dinner, dumplings are all quick-frozen.

Xiang Yu didn’t have any opinion on these things. After dinner with his father and mother, he silenced the Spring Festival Gala, and got together to discuss the project plan for the next year.

She said: “Mom and Dad, I’m going back to the room.”

“Don’t you watch the Spring Festival Gala? Mom and Dad go to the study to talk? Give you the TV?”

Xiang Yu raised the tablet in his hand: “I use this to see, it’s the same.”

Back in the bedroom, she didn’t turn on the tablet, just watched the night quietly.

The night of New Year’s Eve every year is almost like this, lively, colorfully illuminated, and fireworks on the horizon.

She remembered that she and Jin Fubai were in the night like this, looking at the distant fireworks side by side.

Jin Fubai leaned to her ear nonchalantly, with a warm breath lingering around her ears. He asked her, “It’s the New Year, what do you do?”

Xiang Yu smiled silently and opened Tang Yuchi’s express. Not surprisingly, it was another pile of Sonnyangel’s blind boxes.

She took them apart in one breath, and it turned out to be the ugliest two in this series.

She actually took out three more of that hippopotamus.

Xiang Yu took the photo to Tang Yuchi, and Tang Yuchi replied with a full 30 seconds of laughter.

He replied:

[Your luck is also great, it seems that only one year has been taken out of what you want? Hahahahaha. 】

Xiang Yu hadn’t finished reading this message, and she didn’t even count the number of “ha” after the series of “hahahaha”, Tang Yuchi withdrew the message.

She paused, and suddenly remembered that it was not she herself who opened the blind box she wanted that year, but Jin Fubai.

Maybe Tang Yuchi also thought of it and withdrew the information.

This is a night that I can’t think of him.

He used to accompany her for three New Year’s Eve, becoming the person she spent most on New Year’s Eve with her as an adult.

At 11 o’clock in the evening, Xiang Yu walked out of the bedroom. His parents had been abroad for many years. They had no longer guarding the age, and maybe already asleep.

She put on her coat, picked up the car key, and prepared to go out.

“Taro, where are you going?” Mother Tang asked in surprise when she saw her standing by the door when she came out in her pajamas.

Xiang Yu held the car key and shook it: “A place that I like very much.”

She went to “Dream Club”.

The car navigation led all the way, and when she drove to several intersections, she was suspicious that she was lost, and felt that the road seemed to have never been walked.

Later, I thought about it, too, when Jin Fubai brought her here, she had fallen asleep on the road, maybe she didn’t remember.

The dream club is still the same, brightly lit.

After 12 o’clock, there are still people everywhere.

The proprietress leaned against the bar, playing with a lot of fun.

He glanced at Yu, ah, not as high as her.

“Madame, is there only hot chocolate for the hot drink? Is there coffee?”

“No.”

“Are there any quick-dissolving ones?”

“Go out, turn right, convenience store, buy it yourself.”

The familiar conversation left Xiang Yu in a daze for a long time. She seemed to have crossed time and space and walked back to 2013 on New Year’s Eve.

Perhaps seeing her stunned for too long, she didn’t seem to have the desire to talk to other people.

After playing a game, the lady boss took the initiative to say: “Hey, do you want to drink hot chocolate?”

Xiang Yu looked back and smiled: “Okay, thank you.”

But the lady boss stared at her for a while, and then took a cup of hot chocolate to her: “I seem to have seen you.”

At this moment a group of men walked in: “Sister Xu, where’s brother-in-law.”

The lady boss raised her head at the upstairs platform: “I’m drinking upstairs.”

When they finished talking, they took a sip of hot chocolate to Yuu and made a high gesture: “I’ve been here before. In 2013, at that time, your son was so tall. He seemed to like chocolate.”

A chocolate handprint was also printed on Jin Fubai’s coat.

The proprietress laughed: “My son was still cute at that time. He is now in the first grade of elementary school. He is thinking about playing and not doing homework all day long. The teacher has called me several times and has a headache.”

After speaking, she had a sudden, “I remember who you are.”

“Dream Club” has a lot of people who come to stay together every year, and they are homeless.

But they all have their own hobbies and specialties. Xiang Yu didn’t know that he had been photographed and hung on the wall of “Mengshe”.

The proprietress brought Xiang Yu to the wall, Nunu said, “Hey, just this photo wall. There used to be a young man who would snap some photos every New Year’s Eve. He will not come this year. He will marry a daughter-in-law and spend the New Year at home with her daughter-in-law. .”

Xiang Yu’s eyes fell on the wall, she was in 2013.

It was her trying to hide her heart and pretending to be sensible in front of Jin Fubai.

Wrapped in a thick white blanket, she sat on the terrace with a campfire illuminating half of her face.

Behind her, Jin Fubai, holding two cups of hot chocolate, looked at her deeply.

A drunk woman staggered down the stairs, speaking loudly: “I like him for so long! For so long! There will always be other women by his side! There will always be other women! So what is my love? Ah? What is my love?”

The woman bumped into Xiangyu, and Xiangyu’s body was slightly tilted.

Another woman hurried over, grabbed her companion, and said apologetically: “Sorry, sorry, my friend drank too much.”

Smiled at Yu, and made a way for them sideways.

Two women passed in front of her, and the drunk woman was still saying: “I love so deeply, but I’m so tired, I can’t hear an echo, you know, I can’t hear an echo…”

Xiang Yu’s gaze searched in 2013 photos, and she saw Jin Fubai in the corner of a photo where someone was playing guitar and singing.

He was wearing that beige coat and squatting in front of the proprietress’s son. The little boy’s expression was not clear, but he was reluctant to see it.

It was Jin Fubai, when he threatened other children to ask for fairy sticks and fireworks.

Smiled to Taro.

At this moment, the lady boss suddenly called to her: “Hey, the girl looking at the photo downstairs.”

Xiang Yu looked back, the lady boss was already sitting on the terrace, she was holding a man’s arm with a beer bottle in her hand.

The lady boss said: “My husband just said that he received a call today. Someone asked to write a sentence on the back of your photo. Look, maybe it will make you happy.”

When I took the photo from the taro, my hands trembled a little.

The photo frame is light wood color, turned over, the boss used a marker on the back to write a sentence on behalf of someone

“I am where you can’t see, and I will always love you.”

That was the first hour of 2016, and Xiang Yu heard her echo.
