Guzheng handed me the black bag, looked into my eyes and said, "Okay, from now on, we are officially a fake couple."
"Guzheng..."
Guzheng frowned and a look of surprise flashed through her eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked. Did you go back on your word?"
"No!" Since you promised me, you will not go back on your word. Although I have broken my promise, I will try my best to do what I can.
Guzheng did not speak. He looked at me quietly, waiting for my explanation.
I took a deep breath and said, "Can you give me a week?"
Guzheng asked in confusion, "Why?"
"I... After all, it just happened so big. What if we announce to others that we are a couple and they start to suspect us again? I think we can postpone it for a week. And when it's public, we also announced that we have been talking for half a month, so they won't combine the two things. Don't worry, even if we postpone it for a week, I won't tell anyone about our secret. I still have something to do these days."
Guzheng said kindly, "Okay, I believe you."
I believe you...
Not long ago, Ding Ge said this to me.
But how did I treat her?
I can't believe how ding ge would react when she heard the news.
Even if it was fake, even if there might be an opportunity to explain in the future, but I didn't know it was hundreds of years late!
Where's Lin Ya? Lin Ya's still out on a trip and hasn't come back yet? She had always expected me to be with Ding Ge. What would she do when she found out that I was with Guzheng?
These, I really don't dare to think deeply!
After that, I left Guzheng's house with the money, and when the bald-headed man came to collect the money on time at night, we had already prepared the money.
Bald-headed asked someone to count the money. After knowing that the amount was correct, bald-headed smiled at us and politely said that if there was any trouble in yuecheng, he could help. I smiled bitterly in my heart and only hoped that I would never deal with this bald-headed man again.
Then the bald man left with his men. In the restaurant, the three of us sat at the table dejectedly.
The restaurant's two months of hard work was gone, and it still owed Guzheng 300,000 yuan.
Money is so hard to come by, it's so damn fast.
But the matter was settled after all. Old Gao's fingers were saved, and our hotel was saved.
All three of them were silent and preoccupied. Without saying a word, Hu Zi took a beer and threw it at each of us, then opened one for himself.
Old Gao didn't open it. He just kept silent. His expression was buried in the shadow. After a while, he heard his voice mixed with countless pain, "I'm a fucking beast!"
After saying that, Old Gao raised his hand and hit him in the face. I was so anxious that I quickly stopped his hand and shook his arm violently. I scolded him, "Grass, what is this?"
"Four hundred thousand? Four hundred thousand is gone?" Old Gao gritted his teeth and sobbed, "I didn't think much of it before, but today I found out that I was such a black sheep! Because of me, the entire restaurant was almost destroyed."
"Well, it's all over now. We can earn more if we don't have the money. It's only a few months. We can't wait for this. You'll be crippled forever if you take your fingers away with your bald head, do you understand?"
Brother or money is more important, of course, brother!
So I don't think what happened to the rich Di Ming will happen to us again. The three of us have gone through so much, and no one else will understand the feelings between us.
"Who is not a sage without fault? Just think of it as a test and punishment from the heavens, but after all the trials and tribulations we have experienced, the rainbow of the future will surely be even brighter!" At this moment, I don't feel that my words are pretentious at all, because we have really experienced too much, and when we recall these hardships in the future, they will definitely be especially meaningful.
"Exactly. It's over. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's over!" Hu Zi raised his glass and said to us, "Let's have a toast, the three of us!"
"That's right, Old Gao. Open the wine. Let's go wild again today! Starting tomorrow, everything will start anew."
Old Gao was silent and a little excited. He didn't say anything, but gritted his teeth and tore open the ring of the can. The three of them clinked their glasses.
It was a familiar sound again, the sound of beer gurgling in the throat, it was also so familiar...
At this moment, Old Gao asked me, "Who did you borrow the money from?"
"Don't worry about it. We've already borrowed it. We'll pay it back slowly." I didn't want to tell them that I borrowed it from Guzheng, nor did I want them to know the secret between me and Guzheng.
"By the way," I said to Hu Zi and Old Gao, "I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow. I may have to stay for a few days. I haven't been home for a long time."
The two nodded.
I said to the two of them, "By the way, this incident must have had some impact on the hotel. I think we can have some activities after we open normally tomorrow as compensation for the customers."
"I thought of that too." Hu Zi said, "I think it's better to hold a three-day event. The discount is more powerful, which can be considered as a sign of our sincerity."
"Okay, you can worry about the activities." I thought for a while and then said, "Also, Xiaolian and the others must have been quite scared. You guys should calm them down and talk to each other."
Hu Zi nodded.
Then, the three of us started chatting casually over a beer.
After a while, Hu Zi went to the bathroom in the backyard.
I suddenly thought of something and called out to Old Gao. Old Gao looked at me and I began to ask, "Do you remember the day my mother called you?"
Old Gao didn't seem to understand why I suddenly asked, but he nodded.
"At that time, the two of us spoke briefly. I remember you telling me that you wanted me to get back together with Ding Ge, or I would regret it for the rest of my life." I remember exactly what Old Gao said.
Old Gao nodded and said, "Yeah, you broke up with Ding Ge because you were in debt. Now that this is settled, why don't you get back together?"
"I remember that your attitude didn't seem like that before. Why did you say that all of a sudden?" I asked in puzzlement.
Old Gao took a long breath and said to me after a while, "To be honest, it wasn't long before Wang Mengmeng and I were separated. I was feeling bad. You also told me that Hu Zi and Li Xiaowei had split up. After all, it was all a fucking'money' word. I could tell that there were fewer and fewer good girls nowadays. Even Xiao Wei, who loves Hu Zi so much, can change his mind. What kind of world do you think this is?"
Old Gao took a quick sip and said, "But what about Ding Ge? What did they do? When you were still inside, did you know what Ding Ge was thinking? She did everything she could to raise money, bow her head to her parents and admit her mistake, and she was completely prepared to pay off her debts with you and live a hard life, but you, you did it too well!"
Old Gao shook his head again.
It was as if I had been stabbed in the heart.
At that time, Ding Ge must have been worried about me all night. When I came out, she hugged me and comforted me, but I hurt her badly. The pain, I don't know, was more painful than the physical injury!
After so much experience, you will find that Ding Ge is such a good girl. I understand. "Old Gao looked at me again and asked," now that I see you guys getting close, haven't you ever thought about getting back together?"
If these things hadn't happened all of a sudden, maybe Ding Ge and I would have gotten back together.
But of course, I couldn't tell Old Gao these things anymore. It didn't make any sense. I didn't want Old Gao to be burdened with more burdens, so I just shook my head and said faintly, "I'm not good enough for her. Besides, after so much, we can't go back to the past."
At this point, I really have no hope of getting back together with Ding Ge again.
I tried, I really tried, and now I don't dare to think about it, I can only accept fate.
What will happen in a few months?
No one knew!
Because this time, being a couple with Guzheng will definitely make Ding Ge suffer the same pain as the first time he broke up. I will really become the unforgivable and unforgivable person!
Even the heartless chen shimei may not be as scum as I am!
Old Gao sighed deeply and said nothing more.
And I have so much on my mind that I don't know who to tell.
It seems that no one can say it, and only buried in his stomach to bear it alone.
I really can't do anything about it!
These few days, I will go back to my hometown and take a little rest. Once again, I have the urge to escape from Pucheng. I want to go home, put down all my sorrows and troubles, and enjoy a few days of secluded leisure in the harbor at home.
Besides, I have one more thing to do.
Previously, I had promised dinger that I would take pictures of the stars for her, but it had been a long time since I took them, so I wanted to finish them before I came back and give them to Ding Ge.
Not to apologize, not to atone, I just want to be as complete as possible the promises I can still make.
I can only say I'm sorry for what I can't do!
The next day, I took some clothes and a camera and took the bus alone to go home. I didn't drive lin ya's car because I didn't dare to face Ding Ge or Lin Ya, the two women in my life who were especially important to me.
And I was afraid that when Lin Ya came back, I was still at home and couldn't pick her up, so I gave Hu Zi the car keys.
These days, I don't want to contact anyone. I just want to do my best to fulfill my last promise to Ding Ge!
Ding Ge...
How much I want to say I love you!
But now, I can only say sorry to you!
