The Pentium Era - South to North

Liu Ligan and Xiao Wu got out of the car. Except for their beam of light illuminating the house in front, the back of the car was dark. Zhang Chen could no longer be seen. The two stood there looking at each other and shaking their heads.

Jin Lili sat in the car without getting out of the car, still holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, biting her lips, trembling all over, and tears streaming down her cheeks.

Liu Ligan came over and knocked on the car window. Jin Lili rolled down the car window and yelled: "What are you doing?!"

"I don't know where this guy went." Liu Ligan said.

"Ignore him, you get in the car." Jin Lili shouted, "Look at this damn thing, it's already annoying enough that he can't find the way, but if he's still like this, do you think he's still not a human being?!"

Of course Liu Ligan knew that Zhang Chen was not because he couldn't find the way, let alone because he was delayed for too long on the road. Liu Ligan knew that he was... Well, there was no way he could tell Jin Lili that he was making jokes along the way. I just wanted to make the atmosphere lighter, but I didn't expect the result to be like this.

"Get in the car, you guys get in the car." Jin Lili slowed down her tone and said to them: "Zhangzi, Xiaowu, I said, you two, if whoever doesn't go to dinner today, I will fall out with him, I said To do it.”

Liu Ligan and Xiao Wu looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile. Liu Ligan pretended to be relaxed and cursed: "You two are quarreling, how can you get us together? We are not Lao Wang next door..."

"What do you mean?" Jin Lili asked, staring at Liu Ligan, her eyes flashing like a knife.

"It's not interesting." Liu Ligan quickly laughed, he sighed and said, "Either the car is parked here and we walk. It's not far anyway. When you get to the hotel parking lot, there are so many cars. Don’t we still have to ask someone to move the car then?”

Liu Ligan's inner plan was that it seemed impossible to escape the control of this female devil today. Besides, they couldn't leave her as a girl in this strange place, and nothing could happen to Zhang Chen. He proposed walking there, thinking that there was only such a street in this town, and they might run into Zhang Chen while walking.

Jin Lili thought about it, and what Liu Ligan said made sense. The streets in the town were narrow, and it would be troublesome to have to move his head back and forth if he didn't go the right way outside.

Jin Lili wiped the tears on her face with a tissue and got out of the car.

When the three of them arrived on the street outside, Liu Ligan asked someone and found out that it turned out that the people in front of them, who had turned around outside the town, had turned to the other end of the street. From where they came in, they went straight ahead. It's just a short walk to the hotel, no need to go into town at all.

The three of them walked along the street. Liu Ligan and Xiao Wu looked at both sides of the street carefully, but they didn't see Zhang Chen until they reached the hotel.

They arrived a little late, and there were already vacancies in the hotel. The receptionist asked them if they wanted a private room or a lobby. Jin Lili said private room, and Liu Ligan quickly stepped in and said lobby, I want to watch a show.

In fact, what he was thinking was that in today's atmosphere, it would be awkward for everyone to sit in the box. In the hall, if there was a little noise around him, it would at least distract everyone.

"Okay, then arrange the hall for us." Jin Lili agreed.

The greeter led them along the high and low paths paved with stones along the terrain, and walked inside. On both sides of the road, there were open spaces between the guava and jackfruit trees. There were tables and diners on the open spaces. There are steaming hot pots and pavilions. The pavilions are surrounded by grass walls made of palm leaves, sealing the entire pavilion, and the air conditioners are humming.

They turned around a sweet oleander forest, and there were noisy sounds and lights rushing towards them. In front of them was a large wooden shed with ventilation on all sides. The roof of the shed was also covered with palm leaves. There were more than a dozen ceiling fans, slowly. Shaking slowly.

There happened to be a table near the stage that was vacant, so the receptionist arranged them here. But in fact, the performance on the stage was already the last show of the night, and then it was time for the diners to entertain themselves. Many out-of-tune kings like Liu Ligan will run up and yell with a microphone.

The diners at this table seemed to be regular customers. They had already left before this time came.

Liu Ligan stood up, and Jin Lili asked: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Lipole pointed to the bar and said to Jin Lili: "Go and see what we have to drink."

"I've ordered them for you, three little aphrodisiacs." Jin Lili said.

"Then I'll let our Master Wu take a look."

"Ordered him some coconut water."

Liu Ligan was stunned for a moment and said: "You can't do it with juice. How can you do it with just juice? You need milk, milk, grandma, grandma..."

Every time Liu Ligan pumped his breasts, he made a sound. Jin Lili laughed and cursed: "Rogue!"

Liu Ligan walked to the bar, picked up the phone, dialed the paging desk, and left a message for Zhang Chen: "We are at the hotel, in the lobby, near the stage. Come over."

Liu Ligan asked the waiter for a box of milk, reported the station number, and went back with the box of milk.

…

Zhang Chen went outside to the street and saw a man standing next to a motorcycle. Zhang Chen walked over and asked, "Do you want to go to Wanghai Tower?"

The man was not a motorcycle rider. He looked at Zhang Chen strangely and said angrily: "Go, two hundred."

From Shishan to Wanghailou, a motorcycle taxi driver usually only pays 40 to 50 yuan.

Zhang Chen said okay, let’s go.

The man was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took out two hundred from his wallet and gave it to him. The man took it and stuffed it into his pocket, feeling happy. This fucking money was so profitable. Bar.

He shouted to a shop on the roadside in local dialect, meaning to come back later, got on his motorcycle, and left with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen arrived at Wanghai Tower, got off the car, took off his BB camera and took a look, and then he saw the message Liu Ligan gave him.

Zhang Chen curled his lips and felt a little hungry. Damn it, I'm going to eat hot pot too.

Zhang Chen went to Daying Road alone, ordered a red soup pot, and started eating.

After Zhang Chen finished the hot pot, he returned to the office. He took out a stack of black and white drafts of Chinatown design from the cabinet and carefully revised them with a pen. As soon as he got into work, he gradually became calmer and almost forgot about the previous things. .

He was busy in the office until almost eleven o'clock. When he was done, he locked the drawings back in the cabinet, took out a stack of orders that needed to be handed over to Gu Shufang from the drawer, put them in his backpack, and was about to get up when he remembered what he had said in front of him. Well, put down your backpack.

Zhang Chen looked at the BB machine, but there was no new information. He thought that they should be on their way back at this time. Zhang Chen hesitated whether to go back or not. He knew in his heart that if he stood up and left now, he and Jin Lili would be together. , it was completely over. It was impossible for him to go to Jin Lili again, and it was impossible for Jin Lili to come to him. Everything was irreversible.

But is it still recoverable? Zhang Chen asked himself, he felt in his heart that their road had come to an end, but it ended like this, and he seemed to be unwilling and a little unhappy. He had become accustomed to having Jin Lili in his life. If it ended like this, It started to disappear. Zhang Chen never thought about what would happen to him?

But just like this, he swallowed his anger and lingered on their relationship. Every time, he watched Jin Lili show off this and that in front of him, and these were things that that person could give her, but Zhang Chen couldn't. Chen felt that he couldn't accept it. Zhang Chen was not Jianqiang, so he would rather smoke a cigarette by himself.

But how much better is he than Jianqiang? What can you do if you don't smoke a cigarette?

Zhang Chen stood up, put on his bag, and was about to go out. Liu Ligan, Jin Lili, and Xiao Wu came in. Jin Lili walked to the opposite side of Zhang Chen and sat down angrily. Liu Ligan and Xiao Wu Wu, standing behind her, looked a little embarrassed, but if Zhang Chen wanted to leave at this time, they would stop him if there was no other way.

"Didn't you see me dunking you?" Liu Ligan asked.

"I saw it. I didn't see it until I got out of the car when I got here." Zhang Chen said.

"How did you come back?"

"Motorcycle."

Jin Lili pressed her hands on the table, suddenly her head rushed forward, she lay on the table and started crying. The other three people in the room were startled by her.

Jin Lili kept crying, and Liu Ligan kept winking at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen kept walking over, holding Jin Lili's shoulders with both hands, and shouted: "Lily, Lili, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Lili continued to cry, twisted her shoulders, and tried to shake Zhang Chen's hands off her shoulders, but failed. Jin Lili cried:

"You bastard, I just got my driver's license today, and I thought of taking you out. Everyone is happy. You bastard, you don't know what is right, you..."
