The night got deeper, and the autumn wind outside became more and more violent. The hotel room temporarily became a place without danger. Maya still leaned on me, looking at the air outlet of the air conditioner in a daze. I did the same, both of us. No one has the desire to eat.
I looked at Maya's face for a long time, and the fingerprints finally faded a little, and I said to her: "Let's go out to eat, or if you don't want to go out, I'll call and place an order."
Maya shook her head and said, "Let's go out to eat."
"Well, our leader gave me 2,000 yuan when I came here and asked me to treat you to dinner."
Maya finally smiled and said, "I'm tired of eating the lunch boxes provided by the crew. Let's just eat the best today."
I nodded heavily: "Well, if you eat the best, it's not enough. Don't worry about what the leader wants. Eat him in poverty and make him afraid when he sees us."
"You are so bad." After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled happily.
The night wind was blowing "whirring", and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Maya was walking beside me in a thick pink down jacket. Although we wanted to have a luxurious meal, in the end we just decided to have a bowl of noodles. Maybe at this moment we don’t like the glitz of fine clothes and fine food, but only pursue the simplicity of a bowl of noodles. In the simplicity, we forget the pain of reality.
In the noodle shop, Maya took off her mask, took out a small makeup mirror and looked at her face, and said to me with some worry: "I will be shooting a poster the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if these fingerprints can be removed."
"There is still one day tomorrow, it should be withdrawn." I comforted.
Maya nodded: "Let's apply an ice pack when we go back."
I looked at Maya with some distress, but I didn’t know what to say. I just regretted that I shouldn’t have been so impatient with her, and hated all the troubles she brought to me. In fact, she was very good to me, but this It was a good seed, but I only discovered it when I asked her for help. This made me blame myself very much.
Sometimes people really shouldn't look at another person one-sidedly. Although Maya is a troublesome woman, she also has her good points. At least she has a sense of loyalty between friends. Otherwise, she would not be willing to be wronged and would not look back. Choose to help me.
During the meal, Maya and I chatted about the friends around us. She asked me: "Maxwell, how are Hayden and Robben doing lately? Are they together?"
"no."
"That's such a pity, but she is a good girl. Although her personality is a bit idealistic, Hayden is also very idealistic. I think they are good together."
I nodded and agreed with Maya's words, but said helplessly: "You should know that Hayden has a hurdle in his heart that he can't overcome. He doesn't want to deal with him with this hurdle. Anyway, I can quite understand him."
"What about you? Have you overcome the hurdle in your heart?"Maya suddenly changed the topic to me.
I have the answer in my heart, but I fall into silence. At this moment, I really hope that someone will pass by that "city in the sky" and come back to tell me how long it will take for me to overcome the obstacles and climb to that "city in the sky" again. "City in the Sky" to meet the woman in my heart, but I know that the woman waiting in "City in the Sky" is no longer Emily.
Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Maya smiled and said, "You have replaced your answer with silence."
I didn't deny it, but said with some disappointment: "Eat quickly, the noodles are almost soaked."
Maya lowered her head and took a bite of noodles, then said to me as if she was remembering something: "When we return to Suzhou this time, let's get together at the restaurant we went to. It's been a long time since I've eaten there. I really miss it."
"Well, just tomorrow night, call Hayden together."
As we had agreed to be friends with Maya last time, we did not live together this night. In the hotel room, I still lit up a cigarette and was immersed in the loneliness of being alone. I still couldn't help but think of Emily. I wanted to panic, but I couldn't stop.
Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, I smiled helplessly. Emily and I had experienced so many bits and pieces, but when we put them together, it turned out to be a incomplete love. In the end, these bits and pieces turned into barbaric beasts that scattered in all directions. The force tore me into pieces.
In the fragmentation, I seemed to see Emily sleeping on the same bed with Brian and whispering passionately. How could I still remember the bits and pieces we had experienced, so they were annihilated into dust in the fragmentation, and it hurt so much that I felt No pain
A text message alert finally saved me. I put out the cigarette butt and picked up my phone from the cabinet. But the message that saved me surprised me. It was from Penelope.
"After you apply the insecticide, there should be a lot of dead cockroaches in the bathroom."
She was so capable that she was even afraid of dead cockroaches. I smiled and texted her back: "There should be some."
"Then are you free now to help me clean up these dead cockroaches?"
"I'm on a business trip in Hengdian. Wait until I get back, or you can find someone else to help first."
"Wait for you, I don't want to trouble other people with such a disgusting thing."
I couldn't laugh or cry when I looked at Penelope reply. She is really good. I owe her some money and haven't paid it back. She can justifiably let me do any disgusting things. Then I sent a message back to Penelope: " The life of the poor is miserable, and they live without dignity and happiness."
"Stop complaining, be a good person, and work hard."
After reading Penelope's reply, I actually felt funny from the bottom of my heart, but I couldn't explain why I felt funny. In short, it was a very subtle feeling.
My mood gradually became less heavy. I quickly said "good night" to Penelope, closed the curtains, turned off all the lights in the room, and fell into sleep after a while.
The next day, I took Maya back to Suzhou. The house she rented in Suzhou had been returned. I helped her arrange a hotel and made an appointment to get together at a restaurant we went to in the evening. Of course, I had to call Hayden. It's something I promised. For a principled person like me, I will naturally do what I say.
After I returned to the company and handed over my work to Kyle, I continued to be busy all afternoon. It was not until almost evening that I got out of work and lay on a chair to rest for a while. Finally, I took out my mobile phone and dialed Hayden's number. go out.
Hayden quickly answered the phone, and I asked directly: "Where is it?"
The sound of a razor turning came from the other end of the phone, and Hayden said to me in a hurry: "I'm going to go to the bar to work later."
"Don't go. Let's get together there tonight. I'll treat you."
Hayden's tone was a little impatient: "If you say no, just stop causing trouble for me, okay?"
"Didn't you say last time that you would go with me when I took Maya?"
"That's what I said."
"Is it true?"
"Forget it, isn't Kelayao filming in Hengdian?"
I smiled and said, "If I don't take her back, how can I invite you to be a big shot? Come on, hurry up and bring my guitar out. Let's help support the show tonight." "
