"Why did Old Gao suddenly want to go to the pond?" Guzheng asked in a hurry.

"Who knows!" He didn't want Old Gao to go before. Who knew that he suddenly wanted to go to the pond today. Now that Old Gao was on his way to the pond, it was almost impossible for us to go to the pond before him.

"Well, go ahead and call Mengmeng. I'll go to the pond right now and see if I can get to the pond before Old Gao does."

"But how can you explain when you run into Old Gao when you reach the pond like this? Old Gao doesn't doubt it?"

"It doesn't matter."

In the microphone, I heard Guzheng's footsteps, and she didn't say anything more to me. She just said "Let's do this first" and hung up.

Okay.

It seemed that was the only way.

But I really don't know if Guzheng can get to the pond before Old Gao.

However, I suddenly thought that Guzheng should not be in trouble because of his speed. Thinking that I called Guzheng again in a hurry, no matter what, safety comes first.

However, I didn't know if I was already driving and didn't hear it. Guzheng didn't answer the phone. I was a little upset, and I couldn't help but worry about Guzheng. I quickly prayed that nothing would happen to Guzheng.

I was afraid that Guzheng would be distracted by the car, so I didn't call her again. I called Wang Mengmeng several times, but no one answered. I sent her another message, telling him that Old Gao was on his way to the pond, so that she could see and dodge immediately.

My heart began to get very anxious. First, I was worried about Guzheng. Second, I was afraid that Old Gao would meet Wang Mengmeng. God knows what would happen when the two of them met.

I can't imagine it at all!

If Old Gao had seen Wang Mengmeng, he would have known that I knew Wang Mengmeng was in the pond and kept it from him.

But I can't do anything at the restaurant. The only thing I can do seems to be to wait.

This kind of waiting was especially upsetting, and I was in a state of anxiety every second. I had no intention of doing anything else.

It's more painful to have nothing to do. It's better to do something.

I walked out of the restaurant and looked at the busy street. This busy scene made my heart unable to calm down. I rubbed my temples and decided to go back to the restaurant and wait.

Almost an hour later, Old Gao returned to the restaurant!

He was carrying a bag of fish that he had probably bought from the pond.

I looked at Old Gao with uneasiness in my heart. However, I saw that Old Gao looked very calm, which made me wonder if Old Gao had not seen Wang Mengmeng.

Probably, otherwise Old Gao wouldn't have come back so soon.

I walked over to Old Gao and asked casually, "How do you feel when you see the pond?"

"Things are different!"

Old Gao said with special emotion, but his expression was calm.

I also deeply agree that although the pond is still that pond, there is indeed a kind of desolation that changes things and people. Time seems like a passing foal, even those things that seem to have not changed have actually changed.

"Well, did the people in the pond give you a discount?" I asked again. I still wanted to be 100 % sure that Old Gao didn't see Wang Mengmeng, but I couldn't ask that question directly.

"Well, tell him I'm from the Xingyun hotel anyway."

I said "Oh." It looked like Old Gao didn't see Wang Mengmeng.

This way, I feel relieved.

At this moment, Old Gao suddenly said to me, "By the way, Xing Yun, I haven't been to the pond for a long time. Guzheng also went to the pond."

When I heard this, I was stunned. For a moment, I didn't know how to answer it, but on the surface, I could only reply calmly, "Really? She went to the pond?"

I was a little anxious, spinning around to explain this.

Old Gao continued, "She said you said you were going to the pond when you called her. She wanted to go to the pond to find you. Who knew you weren't there?"

Guzheng had already explained it to Old Gao, and I was relieved. It was a good explanation. I smiled and said, "Yes, I did call her before."

I didn't dare to say much, because I didn't know exactly what Guzheng and Old Gao said, so I was afraid that if I said too much, it wouldn't match up with Guzheng.

Old Gao didn't say anything more. He just smiled at me. I didn't see anything unusual about Old Gao.

So I was relieved. It seemed that Old Gao was not suspicious. At this moment, my cell phone rang. It was Guzheng who called me.

I left Old Gao a few meters before I picked up the phone and walked towards the backyard.

"Mengmeng wasn't at the pond at all. She went home yesterday." Guzheng said to me.

I walked to the backyard and said, "Old Gao just came back. I already know."

"Oh, I wish I hadn't seen him." Guzheng was also relieved and said, "I'm relieved. I asked for the phone number of the young man named xiaojing from the pond again, lest her phone call was not answered again. Do you know? Mengmeng sent xiao liu a text message on xiao jing's cell phone. I told him why he was a man on the phone that day. That's what happened."

I couldn't help but smile. Wang mengmeng hid it really deep!

"Where are you now?"

"I'm going back. I won't tell you."

"That's right." I reminded Guzheng again, "Drive carefully. You scared me just now. I've been worried that something might happen if you drive too fast."

"Yes, I know." Guzheng said softly.

We hung up.

But at this moment, I suddenly realized that Old Gao had walked behind me. I was shocked, and my heart suddenly became nervous. Did Old Gao not hear what I just said?

When did he walk behind me? Why didn't he hear footsteps?

I didn't know what to say, but Old Gao squatted down, lit a cigarette, and smoked as usual. After he exhaled his cigarette, he said to me, "Xing Yun, my mother arranged a blind date for me."

"Ah?"

I couldn't help but be surprised, because Old Gao had expressed his desire not to fall in love, and he said his mother hadn't urged him. I always felt that there was a knot in Old Gao's heart. I thought that maybe Old Gao would not fall in love again easily before this knot was solved, so I was especially surprised to hear that he wanted to go on a blind date.

"When?" I asked.

"I'm looking at the girl's time right now. If I'm not surprised, I'll be seeing her in a few days."

"Oh, okay, then take a photo." I said absent-mindedly.

Old Gao looked at me in confusion again. I smiled faintly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you really want me to look forward? Why is your reaction so flat? Aren't you happy for me?" Old Gao smiled at me and asked.

"Of course not. Of course I'm happy for you." I quickly smiled, then my face became more serious and said, "I just hope you don't give in. If you like it, you can go everywhere. If you don't like it, you can leave. Don't force yourself."

Old Gao turned his head, nodded, and continued to smoke.

It seems that Old Gao's life is finally going to take a step forward, and now I suddenly feel very sorry for Wang Mengmeng.

However, the twists and turns of the story between the two of them really can't be evaluated simply. We can only sigh and sigh.

Just then, my phone rang again. This time it was Wang Mengmeng.

Old Gao was right in front of me, and I was so scared that I shivered. Fortunately, the name of the contact I saved was Boss wang, and it didn't change. I answered the phone and smiled, "Boss wang, hello, what's the matter?"

Wang Mengmeng is not stupid. He must understand what I mean.

"Is it inconvenient?"

"Yes."

"Then call me later."

Just as I was talking to Wang Mengmeng, Old Gao finished his cigarette and got up to go back to the front.

I looked in the direction of Old Gao's departure and whispered to Wang Mengmeng, "It's all right. We can talk now."

"Did the plateau go to the pond today?"

"Well, in the future, you should keep your cell phone on and keep it clear so that you don't have anything to look for all of a sudden."

"Xing Yun, I don't want to go to Pucheng anymore."

"Why?"

"If I stay in Pucheng, I will be discovered by the plateau sooner or later, right?"

"You can't say that. You were fine before. I think Old Gao just went to the pond on a whim. I think maybe he won't go in the future."

"I..." Wang Mengmeng struggled, as if he was not paying attention.

Actually, I don't know if it's good for Wang Mengmeng to stay in Pucheng all the time. She's really pitiful to be alone. It's not a good choice to stay in the pond.

Just like Old Gao, Wang Mengmeng should be looking forward.

If you continue to be trapped in this relationship, you will only reap pain.

I sighed and said, "Make your own decision."

Wang Mengmeng didn't give me an answer immediately, and then we hung up.

I stood there in a daze and sighed. Old Gao didn't meet Wang Mengmeng this time, but will they meet again one day?

Never met...

Nalan rong had a phrase - if life was just like the first time you met, sometimes it would be better if you didn't meet. If you didn't meet, you wouldn't even act as a passer-by in each other's lives. If you didn't meet, you wouldn't have those joys and sorrows. If you didn't meet, you wouldn't have any more heartache.

...

A few more days passed. Time came to the day before the lantern festival. After the lantern festival, our year was completely over.

The days were still peaceful, and even the weather had improved a lot. The sky was gone, and the gloomy mood that made people feel bad, but my mood was still covered with gloom these days. I don't know when I would be able to keep the clouds and see the moon like the sky.

One day, Old Gao took a leave of absence. He must have gone on a blind date, but he didn't talk to us about it, and I didn't have the nerve to ask.

There was one more thing I didn't want to mention, and to this day, I haven't seen Ding Ge or Lin Ya.

I've been in Pucheng for ten whole days!

That night, a person came to the Xingyun hotel.

It was Ji Ze, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

He returned to Pucheng!
