...
After smoking a cigarette, I received a WeChat message from Cao Xiaobei. He asked, "Where are you? I need to talk to you."
I felt inexplicably guilty, so without saying where I was, I replied, "What's up?"
"It's definitely not a good thing."
"I'm not in Dali, let's talk on WeChat if you need anything."
"Who the hell are you trying to fool... I just saw you walk past my shop; tell me where you are, I'm coming to find you."
Coming to the "Women's Flower" bar, Cao Xiaobei's milk tea shop is definitely on the way. I just didn't expect him to catch me red-handed. I was quite embarrassed and replied, "If you don't tell me what it is, we can't meet."
Are you feeling guilty or what?
"What do I have to be guilty of?"
"If you're not feeling guilty, then hurry up and bring me the motorcycle that Sisi left behind."
I didn't know what Cao Xiaobei was up to, so I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this your idea, or hers?"
"This car has been sitting with you for so long, it wasn't her idea, can I ask you for it?"
"She contacted you?"
"Yes, she asked me to help her sell this car."
"Didn't they say anything else?"
"Stop talking nonsense...Are you going to deliver the car or not?"
I didn't rush to reply to the message. Instead, I stared blankly at the streetlights outside the window for a long time. My thoughts were a mess, so when I came to my senses, I didn't even know what I had been thinking about in the past few hours. But I really wasn't in a good mood.
I took a sip of beer before picking up my phone and replying, "Come to my place in Jiulongju, I'll give you the car keys, and you can take the car."
"when."
"Now."
...
I left the bar because of the motorcycle incident. Before I arrived, Cao Xiaobei was already sitting in front of the house I lived in, waiting for me.
Upon seeing me, he didn't waste any words and asked, "Where's the car?"
"It's inside the house, I'll go and bring it out for you."
As I spoke, I placed the support plate on the steps, then opened the door, pushed the motorcycle out of the house, and parked it next to Cao Xiaobei; at the same time, I was already mentally preparing for the handover.
Cao Xiaobei walked around the motorcycle and said, "It's cleaned pretty well... You usually take good care of it, right?"
"This car hasn't really been put through any hardship."
What's with these protective panels here?
“I accidentally dropped it last time, and I’ve already asked a friend to send the original from Japan. I’ll send it to you when it arrives.”
"No need, I have a set of protective panels ready."
I forced a smile and said, "You have everything you need, so this car is best left with you."
Cao Xiaobei lit a cigarette but remained silent.
I added, "You'll keep this car for yourself, right?"
"Don't ask questions that aren't your business... Where are the car keys?"
I took it out of my pocket and handed it to Cao Xiaobei... Cao Xiaobei reached out his hand, but I subconsciously used a little force. Cao Xiaobei pulled hard and finally pulled it away from my hand.
He pointed at me with the car keys and said, "This car is mine now... From now on, Sisi has nothing to do with you anymore... Also, she asked me to pass on a message to you."
I stared blankly at Cao Xiaobei.
"She told you to smoke less and live a good life."
As night fell, Cao Xiaobei had already pushed the "Little Ninja" away, leaving me with this rather perplexing question... What exactly does it mean to live a good life?
With a soft sigh, I took another cigarette from the pack, lit it, and took only one puff. Then, I couldn't help but recall a moment when Yang Sisi wouldn't let me smoke…
Sometimes it feels distant, sometimes it feels very close.
