Chapter 227 Peaceful Days

As if he saw my guilt, Jiang Yan said to me, "Xing Yun, you don't have to feel embarrassed. It's normal! But... It's a pity that brother qiang really needs this job."

I think the reason why Chen Qiang was called by Jiang Yan on the phone was because he trusted Jiang Yan. Maybe Jiang Yan also promised Chen Qiang that there would be no problem. That's why Chen Qiang came.

I didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, I said to Jiang Yan, "Give me Chen Qiang's contact information. He's so far away. At least he has to reimburse him for his car fare."

"No, no." Jiang Yan declined my offer and patted me on the shoulder, "Xing Yun, you're a good person."

I just don't want to be ashamed of others. I already owe too many people.

...

The wheels of time rolled forward day by day, and the time from the new year was getting closer and closer. There were more than twice as many cars on the street as usual. Many roads with larger traffic often had congestion, and more and more people returned home from other places.

The restaurant's business was getting better and better, and it was almost midnight every day. I simply stayed at the restaurant and stopped running home when I closed the door, so only Hu Zi went home at night. Sometimes I would go back and change some clothes, but the time at home was much less.

Everything else was normal and there was nothing to say. Shi Yuan didn't perform as well as I was worried about. Everything seemed to be in harmony.

Most of the time, I was the last person to stay in the restaurant. I felt sorry for my cousin. If there were still customers in the restaurant, I would stay in the lobby until they left.

After the guests leave, I will tidy up the tables and chairs, turn off the air conditioning, pull down the door, and finally turn off the lights, and go back to the backyard to rest.

A week had passed, and Lin Ya never came to our Xingyun hotel again. I never saw her again, and of course, I never saw dinger again.

I have a feeling that I am not used to it. They used to appear in front of me often, but now they leave suddenly. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, as if something is missing.

It was always so boring to watch the store at night, and then two images always came to mind. One was Ding Ge drinking at the Xingyun hotel to bless Guzheng and me, and the other was lin ya drawing a line between us in the heavy snow.

The two images, like two rotating blades, were spinning in my head!

Therefore, he often fell into depression, his whole face was expressionless, and his heart was filled with sadness.

Guzheng always showed up in front of me. When she was free, she would always run to the restaurant. Sometimes she would help. We were still facing everyone as lovers. I was used to it, or I was numb.

That night, I stayed in the restaurant as usual. There was only one table left in the restaurant, just like the four middle-aged people who had been chatting late into the night before. It was either a party or a group of friends.

I can't help but think of us again. Old Gao, Hu Zi, Ding Ge, Lin Ya, when can we get together again?

Is there any chance?

I sighed in a daze, not daring to think further.

It's better to concentrate on the work of the hotel.

This is a very common situation these days, almost every day. Sometimes when we close the door, we suddenly have a table of guests.

So just in case, Shi Yuan and Jiang Yan took turns leaving work an hour or two later than usual.

It looks like there won't be any more guests today.

Recently, the sales of alcohol were much larger than before. Many friends gathered at the end of the year, and it was inevitable that they would not lack alcohol.

At this time, I brought a pot of hot water for the guests, and my eyes inadvertently looked out of the window.

Everything was familiar. The Xingyun hotel had been open here for two months, and I was familiar with the billboards around me. I knew the location of the street lights and the uneven tiles in front of the hotel.

At this moment, I saw a person standing under the street lamp.

Her eyes were looking into the restaurant, and I felt that this figure was a little familiar, but I didn't react at first, and when that person found out that I was looking at her, she quickly turned around and left in a hurry.

It was then that I suddenly remembered that the figure was not Wang Mengmeng?

I didn't realize that when I came to my senses, I was shocked!

Wang Mengmeng?

Was that Wang Mengmeng?

How could she be in Pucheng!

Impossible! Impossible!

I shook my head in disbelief, but the last time I saw Ding Ge, I thought it was an illusion, but it wasn't. This time, Wang Mengmeng was standing under the street lamp, and I could see more clearly, so I quickly walked out of the door.

However, when I looked in the direction of Wang Mengmeng, I could not see the figure just now. Am I mistaken?

I'm a little confused.

After all, I'm a little blurry about Wang Mengmeng's appearance, not as memorable as Ding Ge. Maybe it's just a girl like Wang Mengmeng?

I thought so.

Because Wang Mengmeng is too unrealistic in Pucheng, she can't come to Pucheng! I shook my head and felt that I had probably mistaken someone for someone else, so I didn't really care.

I went back to the restaurant, but I still felt that the man looked too much like Wang Mengmeng.

I sat behind the counter and thought of what Old Gao said the other day. Now that I think about it, I always feel that something is not right. As for what is not right, I can't tell you the details.

I sighed and didn't think much about it. After all, it was a fact that Wang Mengmeng hurt Old Gao so much.

Not long after that table of guests left, I cleaned up, and habitually took a look at the night outside, there should be no more guests, I walked out and closed the door, and then after everything was done, I turned off the lights in the living room.

Everything returned to peace.

At the restaurant, she fell asleep.

...

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

After I got up and exercised for a while, I opened the door of the restaurant.

In the morning, Old Gao and Hu Zi and I drove to the market to buy some vegetables. On the way, Hu Zi, who was driving, looked at me in doubt and called me, "Xing Yun."

"What's wrong?"

"It's understandable that Ding Ge didn't look for you much when you were with Guzheng. After so many days, why hasn't Lin Ya come to our restaurant? Did you two quarrel?" Hu Zi asked.

This is a big pain in my heart!

I didn't want to tell Hu Zi the truth, but for a moment I didn't know how to explain it, so I said, "Well, we... How to say..."

"Are you having a fight?" Hu Zi said.

"You can say that."

"Did you two quarrel?" Old Gao asked, startled.

I nodded.

"How is that possible!" Old Gao said confusedly, "She called me to pick you up that day."

"What?" I was shocked and quickly turned around and asked, "Did the girl ask you to go?"

"Of course, otherwise how do you think I know that you drink too much? Will I prophesy?" Old Gao smiled.

I was a little annoyed. How did I forget this question? It must have been a fever. I forgot such an important thing. Old Gao sent me back to the hotel. Then who told Old Gao?

Old Gao said it was Lin Ya!

But I didn't drink when Lin Ya left, so she came to me when I was drunk?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly warmed up. Even though Lin Ya said he would break up with me, she still went back to see me?

So, why did she go back to see me?

She still cares about me, doesn't she?

I suddenly thought of that dream again. If Lin Ya really came back, was it a dream or not? I really couldn't tell because it was so blurry that I was completely cut off that day.

"What's wrong with you two?" Old Gao asked me again.

"Nothing. It's just a fight."

Although Lin Ya said he would cut off his robe from me, I always felt that our friendship would not be broken so easily. Even if Ding Ge and I really couldn't get to the end, I also thought that my friendship with Lin Ya could last forever!

But now, it's not a matter of apologizing.

These days, lin ya will be very tired from working alone in two stores. I should have gone to help her, but now I can't.

When I thought about how busy she was all alone until dark and couldn't even eat well, I felt especially sorry for this girl who had suffered too much, so I said to Hu Zi and Old Gao, "These days, it's all right. You should run to Lin Ya and see if she needs any help. She's still mad at me. I can't go. You two go."

"No problem!" Old Gao said, "Don't worry. We'll take care of this."

Hu Zi glanced at me again and asked, "I don't understand. What's going on between you two?"

"Ah..." I sighed and said, "It's complicated. Don't ask. Just run to her more often."

The two of them asked nothing more, and Old Gao patted me on the shoulder from behind.

At this moment, I couldn't help but remember what happened last night. Should I tell Old Gao? After all, I really didn't see it clearly and wasn't sure if it was Wang Mengmeng.

...

Back at the restaurant, cousin's son Zhan came again. This guy was still very naughty. If his cousin didn't take care of him, the restaurant would have been destroyed by him, just like a little devil in the world.

"Sis, I find Zhan very much like you." I came to my cousin and said to her.

"Was I as naughty as she was when I was a child?" Cousin rolled her eyes at me and said.

"Then I don't know. But I just think you two look alike. The energy in him makes people know it's your son at first glance."

"Yes, he is my son!" Cousin smiled, especially proud of Zhan. Her eyes were filled with the light of mother's love, and there was also a hint of sadness. Since cousin divorced, the time spent with her son was obviously less.

"Xing Yun, I regret it!" Cousin suddenly covered her mouth and choked.
