Chapter 20 Watching the Lanterns
Wei Shenmo, who had just gotten off the high-speed train and finally arrived at the hotel, was called out by Xi Huan: "Aren't you going to the client's house today?"
Wei Shenmo, who had been sitting on a hard seat all day, had a sore back and waist. At this moment, he wanted to lie comfortably on the bed like a salted fish . Who knew that he would be dragged out to go shopping when he just arrived here.
As Xi Huan often came here to meet clients, he was very familiar with everything here: "Let's go shopping first." The streets were winding, but he could still walk freely.
Xi Huan and Wei Shenmo were strolling in the busy streets. Seeing everyone holding lanterns, Wei Shenmo was a little curious: "Is there a festival today? Why are there so many people?" "
Today is the Lantern Festival here." Xi Huan said naturally, still walking around the crowd without rushing.
"Lanterns." Hearing that it was the Lantern Festival, Wei Shenmo suddenly remembered the time when he sneaked out in the past.
A moment later, Wei Shenmo, who followed Xi Huan to the high rooftop, just caught up with the lanterns and released them into the sky: "I haven't seen so many lanterns in a long time. It's so beautiful to see them all rising in the sky."
Every lantern in the dark sky represents everyone's wish, gathering in the sky and drifting away...
Hearing Wei Shenmo's exclamation, Xi Huan's heart was full of doubts: "Have you seen lanterns?"
He had seen Wei Shenmo's resume, which showed that he was born in the countryside and came to the city until junior high school.
"Ah" In response to Xi Huan's question, the mood that was just immersed in the beautiful lanterns collapsed. Hearing Xi Huan's words, he felt a little awkward: "Why doesn't it look like it?"
Xi Huan: "I remember your family is not from the countryside..."
Regarding Xi Huan's perception that rural people are ignorant, Wei Shenmo rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, my family is from the countryside, but it is not a poor countryside. It still has what a poor countryside should have, but it is not as dense and prosperous as a city."
After saying this, Wei Shenmo slowly began to talk about the reason why he hadn't seen such beautiful lanterns for a long time: "Before I was four years old, my family didn't often let me go out, saying that I was missing something and that if I went out and came back, I would easily get into trouble."
"The only time I went out was when I ran away secretly. I remember that there were many people setting off lanterns. I watched the lanterns rise up to the sky one after another, swaying in the wind..."
Recalling the dark sky at that time full of sparkling lanterns, it was like the darkness full of stars shining!
Listening to Wei Shenmo's childhood, Xi Huan felt a little uncomfortable: "You..."
"Why, are you moved by my childhood?" Wei Shenmo looked at Xi Huan's hesitant look and was very happy.
I have always envied the children in the city, but I didn't expect that the children in the city would envy me one day.
Seeing Wei Shenmo's smug look, Xi Huan spoke directly and stabbed Wei Shenmo's heart: "You are so miserable. You must have lost a lot of childhood when you were a child."
Hearing that Xi Huan actually sympathized with the attack, Wei Shenmo was unhappy: "What? I just can't go out, not that others can't come to me.
I don't need others' sympathy for my childhood. I think I live a more relaxed and happy life in the countryside than children in the city.
Watching the lanterns slowly disappearing in front of him, Xi Huan called out to Wei Huan and left: "The lanterns are all gone, let's go."
Wei Shenmo was still very happy that Xi Huan brought him to see the lanterns. Following
behind Xi Huan, watching Xi Huan walk straight in one direction, as if he was moving with a purpose: "Where are you going? Do you have any other plans? "
Following Xi Huan, Wei Shenmo, who had never been here before, looked around: the coffee shop with a relaxed atmosphere, the snack street full of people, and one or two groups of people standing at the bus stop on the street waiting for the bus...
In the dark alley was an inconspicuous bar. Wei Shenmo, who had never been to a bar, heard the quiet music coming from it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow... There is such a quiet bar here."
Wei Shenmo couldn't wait to run to Xi Huan and asked excitedly: "Hey, hey, hey, how did you find it? "
Today, Wei Shenmo can be said to be in the best mood in recent days. He has seen: the city is full of lanterns, and it is his first time to come to such a quiet bar!
Today, Xi Huan was particularly patient with Wei Shenmo: "A friend recommended it.
Following Xi Huan's footsteps, Wei Shenmo entered the bar.
The road to the bar is a bit narrow, and only three people can walk side by side. Just as Wei Shenmo was observing his surroundings, he was accidentally touched by a girl in sexy clothes.
But because of this, Wei Shenmo rushed straight to Xi Huan and stuck close to him: "Be careful."
Wei Shenmo did not easily wipe the woman's touch on his body, and his tone was full of disbelief: "How dare you come to such a place?"
Didn't Xi Huan say that he has a mysophobia? Just the time when a woman touched him, even a slightly clean freak like him couldn't stand it. And it seems that physical contact happens frequently in places like this! Although
it is a quiet bar, it doesn't mean that women or men won't chat with him. He...
"I have a private room!" Just a few words directly solved Wei Shenmo's curiosity.
Following Xi Huan's footsteps, Wei Shenmo really saw a different bar.
