After eating and drinking, the white car finally stopped in front of a small shop with a sign that read "Lao Lu BBQ".
Looking at the dark storefront, Louis couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
He lacks nothing now.
But there is no home...
He has a girlfriend, money, and all of these.
But why...
Dad, Mom, you're all gone.
"Why are you crying? Your father and mother just passed away, not really gone. Who are you crying for, such a filial son?" Du Xing patted Louis' shoulder in annoyance.
Louis raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just unlucky."
"They just left without telling me."
"One left without making a sound."
"Oh, what's the big deal, little brat? At least you have parents who love you. Unlike me, I grew up in an orphanage. After I left the orphanage, no one loved me and I went astray later. Of course," Du Xing said, holding a cigarette in his mouth and puffing out white smoke.
"Then I met the person who deserves my lifelong love, and she also loved me for her whole life, but..."
“If only time could go by more slowly.”
"At that time, I held my wife and sat on the warm kang, while our children watched TV beside us. We lived a very happy life as a family."
Louis walked slowly to the dusty store, and Du Xing behind him handed him the key.
"Here are the keys your parents put in the envelope, and this store will be yours from now on."
"Oh oh." Louis took the key.
He opened the door casually, and dust flew up immediately. Louis coughed lightly a few times, walked in, and turned on the light skillfully.
The barbecue restaurant is still the same as before, with the same barbecue stove, neatly arranged tables, refrigerators, counters, etc.
It seems like nothing has changed, but it also seems like everything has changed.
Louis' nose felt a little sore. He thought he had returned home in glory, but in the end, he got nothing.
This is a scene that must be experienced.
From the day the young eagle spreads its wings and flies high, it is destined to be alone and proud in the world.
For a young eagle, becoming the king of the sky and sitting firmly on the throne of the sky is the only way, and this path is inevitably accompanied by loss, growth, pain and sorrow.
Just like a person’s life, no matter whether you are poor or rich, no one can escape the same fate, which is that you will always lose, you will always grow, and you will always suffer.
It is always accompanied by sadness...
But then again, Louis remembered this sentence in [Gu Zhenren]:
[Life is short, like a dream.]
What is the purpose of human life in this world?
It's nothing more than going there to witness the excitement.
Although I don't want to die, I am not afraid of death.
I have already embarked on the road, and I will not regret it even if I die. 】
Therefore, the only thing in life that can make people feel sad is regret.
"Do you regret it? Brat, if you hadn't joined us, maybe you would still be a good son to your parents like before. You might leave Linjiang, but you would definitely live happily together."
"Now that I'm on this road, why should I regret it?" Louis' voice was calm, and it was impossible to tell his emotions.
Du Xing did not expose Louis's trick, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Perhaps he once again witnessed the growth of the young man in front of him.
This is the catalyst called loneliness. Human beings will always face loneliness.
And often when they face loneliness, they often face pain.
But once people are able to face this pain, they often gain talent and courage.
Just like Louis's words of no regrets.
It sounds simple, but only he himself knows how sad it is.
"Stinky boy...I'm leaving."
"......Um."
“Crack—”
The door of the store closed quietly.
Finally, Louis was the only one left in the empty room.
There was a hint of indescribable fear in his eyes, as if the ocean was boundless and he was forced to be alone.
"So tired..."
Finally, Louis revealed a bitter smile.
"Change people if you're tired." A deep voice came from my heart.
Oh, by the way, he is not alone now, there is a demon in his heart accompanying him.
Louis's original wry smile turned into a smile, "For the first time, I am really glad that you are by my side, accompanying me."
"......Are you thanking me? You are fucking insulting me!!! I was trying to steal your body! You actually thanked me, I f---"
Perhaps Louis accidentally triggered a sensitive word, and the voice in his heart suddenly started barking non-stop.
Louis felt that in this empty room, there was a hint of liveliness...
It is true that when people are forced into extreme loneliness, they can even talk about evil spirits.
He walked up to the second floor with familiarity and opened the door.
Looking at the family portrait on the bedside, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It seems that your leaving is not all bad. At least you will be safe, right..."
"Great, this way, at least I won't be a burden to you..."
"I am really an unfilial son."
Louis touched his nose, suppressed his sadness, took off his clothes, went into the bathroom and took a shower.
Quickly half an hour later, after drying my hair, I got into the familiar bed.
"By the way, the barbecue restaurant still needs to be maintained, otherwise the feeling of home will be gone."
"Look online and find a few employees. Oh, yes, we have to find summer workers, preferably college students. They are cheap and easy to use, and I dare not disobey them no matter what they say."
"The daily salary is 200 yuan. For a barbecue chef or a waiter, it's only 100 yuan a day."
"Yes, that's right. The barbecue restaurant's monthly income is about 30,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of meat and other things, there is still 20,000 yuan left. The salary of these two people is 10,000 yuan, so there is still 10,000 yuan left. It's not bad. I'm not losing money."
"I remember the annual rent of the store was 100,000 yuan, so I still have 20,000 yuan left after a year???"
"Twenty thousand is fine, I'm not short of money, I just want to join in the fun."
Louis took out his cell phone and posted a job advertisement on a certain website.
Requirements: obedient and sensible college students, income...
After finishing a series of things, Louis lay carefree on the bed, looking at the ceiling and feeling the cold air.
His eyes widened, "Well, I can't sleep now..."
"The room is too empty, why not rent out the remaining rooms?"
“Or as an employee benefit.”
"It just so happens that besides my parents' room, there are two bedrooms left."
Louis changed the recruitment information.
There is one more item: [Accommodation is provided, and those who need accommodation will be given priority. ]
