I sat down, picked up the last half-bottle of wine, intending to drink it all in one gulp… Just then, Nicole suddenly pulled three hundred yuan from her wallet and threw it in front of me. I stared at her blankly…
She said with utter disdain, "Someone like you doesn't deserve to buy me a drink... You're not only insidious but also cowardly... What's wrong with liking someone? Why make up so many lies?... That girl named Sisi, if she really chose you, she must be blind... Compared to that young man, you're worlds apart!"
After Nicole finished speaking, she avoided me like the plague, leaving me speechless... I really couldn't explain this situation.
After thinking it over carefully, there was no need to rush to explain... If Cao Xiaobei could really find Yang Sisi in Shanghai, all the misunderstandings would naturally be cleared up.
A moment later, I picked up the 300 yuan that Nicole had just thrown down from the table and took it to the bar. I knew she was singing there, so I asked the waiter to return it to her. Actually, deep down, I was quite grateful to her, because her disdain made me see my own heart clearly and made me willing to examine myself and Ye Zhi with a proper attitude.
Actually, it's better to keep things simple between men and women!
...
The next day, I woke up at eight o'clock, and at nine o'clock, Cao Jinbo sent someone to deliver the keys to the 16 shops... This made my time suddenly become tight, because there were only about 20 days left until the Chinese New Year, and I still had a lot of things to do.
I've made up my mind. I'll only stay in Shanghai for one night and I'll rush back tomorrow afternoon.
Deep down, I didn't have any romantic fantasies about going back to Shanghai. I just wanted to see Ye Zhi... Although I know it's because of my deep affection for her, I don't want to force it... As for matters of the heart, I'll just let things take their course.
What I really need to fight for is my own precarious career, and I must be clearer about this than ever before.
...
At 11 o'clock, I arrived at the airport, and at 12:30 I boarded the plane. Before the plane took off, I consciously turned off my phone, but I was a little curious. Had Cao Xiaobei, who went to Shanghai before me, met with Yang Sisi? If they had, had they cleared up the misunderstanding from last night?
However, this curiosity only bothered me for a short while. When the plane actually took off, all I could think about was everything I had experienced in Shanghai over the past few years...
I hope Shanghai will have good weather today... I don't like the rain in Shanghai because the last time I saw Lu Jia, Wang Lei, and me all happened on rainy days... If God intends to balance things out for humanity, then He should give me a sunny day too!
