Chapter 469 : Worried

Although there were a few new waiters, the restaurant was still running as usual, welcoming its first guest and sending its last guest away. No one noticed any changes in the restaurant. Even some of the guests who often ate at Xing Yun would not care if there were a few new waiters.

I, on the other hand, clearly felt the difference.

Apart from Du Ling and me, a few of the other waiters didn't talk much to me. Of course, they did, but they weren't really chatty. When we were not busy, everyone was still laughing and cheering, but my words were much less. Most of the time, I just smiled and echoed. The waiters were introduced by Shi Yuan, and Shi Yuan obviously became the center of the circle.

This gave me an uncomfortable feeling of strangeness, even though many things were still so familiar.

I miss xiao yi and Xiaolian a little.

But the past can only be recalled, and some people often never see it again.

One thing Hu Zi was right about was that when people weren't so busy, they had the opportunity to think and time to do other things. After Hu Zi and Old Gao and I finished our daily work, I couldn't help but think about that idea.

Open a new restaurant.

But my idea and Hu Zi's plan should not be the same. I want to open an art restaurant. The storefront is not big, and the decoration will not take the grand route. There was once the idea of making the restaurant a black and white style, so that pure black and white covered the walls, without any other colors, it is like a pure land in a colorful city. This place is pure, somewhat illusory. The hotel that blocked the shackles of reality outside the door.

I once thought of a healing theme, which was basically to hope that those who were troubled, those who were lovelorn, and those who were in pain could eat delicious food in the restaurant for psychological healing.

But the theme was empty. How could the food be linked to the treatment center?

And I'm worried that if the restaurant is full of frustrated people and negative emotions, I'm afraid that the restaurant of literary style will not become a holy place for healing, but a place of sadness.

Therefore, I think it would be better to set the theme as' warmth'. Although it would still be a restaurant of literary and artistic orientation, it would not be in the cold color of black and white, but in the same color as other parts of the city. It would be dressed as beautiful and warm as home. There would be happy people and sad people. Sadness would melt in the warm and happy atmosphere, and people would forget their troubles in the warmth. Soften the sadness, gain the power of motivation, and shed tears of emotion.

Although I don't know when this ideal restaurant will open in my mind, I have been planning it in detail for the rest of my life. What should it be like? How on earth does it taste like home? How can I let the warmth pervade the restaurant?

I think maybe it's because Ding Ge is by my side again, and my mood has changed, so my thoughts have also changed.

I couldn't help but think that things at the restaurant could wait, and I really should prepare a home for Ding Ge.

...

I called Ding Ge again. We talked for a while, and I told her honestly what I was talking to Hu Zi. After that, Du Ling would probably stay in our room for the most part. Did Ding Ge really trust me and Du Ling to live in the same room?

Ding Ge didn't seem to be jealous. She even teased me, "Of course I can. I'm not your girlfriend yet. Why are you jealous, right?"

"Isn't this the kind of girl who says the opposite?" I was always worried.

"Of course not." Ding Ge added, "You're still single. That girl named Du Ling is also single. Of course, you can live together. What else can you do?"

There was a hint of jealousy in this sentence, and I quickly explained, "Du Ling is only 20 years old, and I can be her uncle!"

"You can try the old cow to eat the tender grass." Ding Ge said sarcastically, and then she giggled.

I took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Ding Ge, I don't like this kind of joke."

"I'm sorry."

Ding Ge apologized to me sincerely, then said to me seriously, "You won't think too much. I believe you. It's just living together. Just think of it as sharing a house. I won't think too much. Instead, it's you. Don't think too much, okay?"

A warm current flowed through my heart. I didn't expect it to turn into Ding Ge comforting me instead.

The corners of my mouth curled up and I said, "As long as you really don't mind, you must tell me if you do."

"I don't mind!" Ding Ge said quickly, "We already know this girl named Du Ling. Since her family is really poor, why should we help her? Right?"

I was relieved to hear Ding Ge's words. Ding Ge had always been a kind girl and was still helping a woman take care of her children. Who would dare to say that she was not kind?

I pursed my lips and asked, "When are you coming back? I miss you."

I really miss her.

An emotion began to hover, stirring the air around them and adding a layer of sadness.

There was a silence in the microphone. A few seconds later, dinger said, "It's almost there."

Hanging up the phone, I took a breath and looked up at the familiar sky. The earth was spinning all the time. So, when we stand in the same position and look at the sky every day, is the sky above us still the same sky?

Inexplicably, there were some difficult emotions in my heart. I thought, I was really too worried about gains and losses.

After so much, I was too afraid of losing again.

I really can't bear to lose it again.

Although it seems that there are no obstacles between us now, and although Ding Ge and I haven't addressed each other as boyfriends and girlfriends yet, I know that we will definitely be together.

Because I could feel that she was so close to me, and we were like two people on the same cover in a comic book looking at each other, surrounded by a dreamy patch of grass and trees, where the sun shone through the branches and stained the picture with a layer of orange light. I would walk towards her, she would walk towards me, and we would eventually walk together.

However, I can't explain it clearly. There is always an indescribable uneasiness in my heart. I don't know why, I don't know what it is. It's like a black spot hidden in my body, and it can't be erased.

Maybe, it's just that I love Ding Ge too much. I can't lose her anymore.

When the shop lights gradually lit up, when the streetlights gently scattered on the ground, when the cake shop songs changed one after another, the next shift people walked home, when the cool night wind blew, when the street became gradually quiet...

The restaurant was also closed.

The shutter was closed and the familiar voice was heard many times. I was so familiar with this restaurant that I could imagine the entire hall with my eyes closed. I knew what the drinks in the fridge were next to sprite. I knew a slanted crack on a pillar.

Before I left, I took a look at the hotel's signboard. The words Xingyun hotel were still visible in the dark, but it had been a little old for so long.

Hu Zi and I went to the neighborhood together. Because he wanted to get some clothes, Hu Zi and Du Ling walked to the neighborhood together.

I think that's good, so that Du Ling won't be as embarrassed and shy as before when Du Ling and I go back together.

Hu Zi looked at me, then looked up at the sign and said, "This sign is a little old, why don't you get a new one?"

I said with some emotion, "Yes, the restaurant is about to open for a year."

"Why don't we change it to a new one on the first anniversary of the opening? We'll just pull up some banners and set off firecrackers to celebrate and have another big event."

"Sure." I nodded.

Just like the hotel staff will leave their jobs and have new arrivals, this sign can not be used for a lifetime, at that time because the funds were not enough, so there will be a lack of all aspects, and now take advantage of this opportunity to change to a new one.

We chatted as we walked towards the neighborhood.

Hu Zi asked Du Ling again, "Du Ling, what else do you need? What else do you need to buy?"

Du Ling shook his head and said, "No, Brother tiger, I don't need anything."

"Do you have any more toilet paper at home? Do you need to buy it or not?" Hu Zi asked me again.

"I bought a new piece of toilet paper yesterday." Du Ling said.

"Why did you buy it? You don't have to spend it in the future."

Du ling looked at Hu Zi and her eyes sparkled. She said, "Brother tiger, you're so good to me. You let me live in your house and buy me clothes..."

"As I said, don't be polite to me. We are all children of poor families. It's not easy. Your brother is about to start school, so I'll call you in advance." Hu Zi said.

Du Ling's eyes flashed with emotion. Hu Zi smiled again and said, "Don't cry. It's still your money. I just gave it to you in advance."

Du Ling said gratefully, "Thank you."

I don't know if Hu Zi saved Du Ling. It seems that she has a strong dependence on Hu Zi. It seems that when Hu Zi is around her, she will feel safe and won't be as nervous and confused as when she is alone with me.

It was obvious that she was different to Hu Zi, the savior, and to everyone else.

This made me a little worried. For some reason, I was always afraid that Du Ling and Hu Zi would have any emotional entanglement.

If Hu Zi's view of love had been twisted, he really shouldn't have touched a simple girl like Du Ling.

But there are some things that you can clearly feel happening, but you can't stop it. So I'm afraid that Hu Zi just wants to help Du Ling, and Du Ling has feelings for Hu Zi because of this kindness.
