"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yi's voice rang out, interrupting Li Yaya's confused and disorganized thoughts.
Jiang Yi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Li Yaya. "Don't you have to go to work? Why are you squatting here?"
Li Yaya came to her senses and said, "Ah, I don't need it today. I just asked for leave." She stood up, but her legs were a little numb and she couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, Jiang Yi helped her.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell or something?" Jiang Yi sensed something was wrong the moment he saw Li Yaya. She then told him that she had taken a leave of absence. It was hard not to think too much.
"It's okay, I just want to be lazy today."
"It means you'll be fine for a while, right?"
"Yeah." It was all right. Li Yaya's life, when she wasn't working, was full of nothing to do. She even found it a little funny. Living like her was like being dead.
——Yes, there are big differences. For example, people shouldn't be so tired after they die.
"Then you wait here for a while. I'm going to sing two songs and finish quickly. You wait for me, you must wait for me," Jiang Yi rushed into the back door in a hurry. He wanted to finish singing quickly and leave quickly.
He was afraid that Li Yaya would not wait for him.
Jiang Yi came back from the room again, took Li Yaya's hand, and walked towards the door. Li Yaya was panicked, "What are you doing?"
"Come in and wait, or I'm afraid you'll slip away before I finish singing."
Li Yaya couldn't shake off Jiang Yi's hand and was pulled into the bar. Fortunately, the back door was located completely behind the customer area, in the blind spot of Lin Jing Biological. Li Yaya hid in the corner of the wall and quietly watched Jiang Yi on the stage.
This time, Jiang Yi was wrong. Li Yaya didn't think of slipping away.
Jiang Yi stepped forward and whispered a few words to someone on the side of the stage. Within a few minutes, he was standing in the center of the stage.
There were no small talk or pleasantries. The surrounding lights seemed even dimmer, and the spotlight on the stage shone on Jiang Yi, casting a layer of light on him. The moment he opened his mouth, it was as if the light penetrated the floating dust particles and spread to the surroundings.
Li Yaya's heart slowly calmed down as Jiang Yi sang.
Jiang Yi's gaze was direct and intense, directed towards the corner where Li Yaya was. If anyone else followed Jiang Yi's gaze, they would see nothing but darkness.
But it is precisely because of this, this existence that only he knows, that is the most gripping note.
Jiang Yi sang for more than ten minutes without stopping, and then left the stage. Although some people in the audience urged him to sing another song, Jiang Yi turned a deaf ear to them and walked straight towards Li Yaya.
Li Yaya was talking to a girl. After the girl left, Jiang Yicai went up to her and asked what was wrong.
"It's okay. The guest just came out of the bathroom and was accidentally bumped into. I helped him up. Let's go."
The two of them walked out the door at the same time, but they didn't notice that the person who had just spoken to Li Yaya didn't leave. Instead, he turned around and quietly observed Li Yaya and Jiang Yi for a while. After watching them leave together, he returned to the booth.
The booth was bustling with activity. Several girls were chattering about Jiang Yi who had just appeared on the stage. Although they didn't know his name, a boy who sang well and had good looks would always be the focus of discussion.
The girl who came back from the bathroom first glanced at Lin Jing, who was still silent and looked depressed, before asking the chattering people, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."
"It's the resident singer just now. He's good-looking and sings well, but he left after singing only a few songs. What a pity, I didn't even have a chance to ask for his contact information." The person who answered looked like a devout fangirl.
Hearing this answer, the girl subconsciously glanced at Lin Jing again before slowly speaking, "I just came out of the bathroom and saw the resident singer leaving with the girl Lin Jing just spoke to. They seemed very familiar with each other. Why don't you ask Lin Jing to ask his friend for you?"
There was something else behind his words. It sounded like he was kind enough to try to get someone's contact information, but in fact, he just wanted to tell Lin Jing that the girl who made him distracted and worried was with another man.
Sure enough, after hearing what the girl said, Lin Jing's expression finally changed. However, this was not a place where he could vent his emotions freely. Lin Jing's habit was to maintain so-called decorum in front of all outsiders.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the hotel to rest first. I'll pay for the bill, you guys can do whatever you want." Lin Jing stood up and walked out of the bar without giving anyone a chance to stay or talk.
"Is he alright?"
"What's wrong with him? He's been acting weird since he walked in. We've never seen him like this before..." Several people were whispering to each other. No one had ever seen Lin Jing act so strangely.
"Hey, Zhao Ziyi, you two are very familiar with each other. Do you know what's going on with him?"
Zhao Ziyi is the girl who just came back from the bathroom.
"What could be the problem? I'm just tired, that's all. What are you thinking about? Come on, let's drink."
Zhao Ziyi looked strong and calm, but her female intuition told her that the girl held a special place in Lin Jing's heart. There was an answer that was about to come out in her mind, but she didn't dare to think about it.
I could only comfort myself that the girl was just a bar waitress. How could Lin Jing like that kind of person?
Lin Jing walked out of the bar and there were no familiar figures on the street.
Open the WeChat dialog box and ask directly, "Where have you been?"
When she received the WeChat message, Li Yaya was sitting in the back seat of her third-hand electric car, listening to Jiang Yi complain about her "old car" that could only travel at a snail's pace.
Li Yaya couldn't help but slapped Jiang Yi on the back, "If you despise me so much, just get off. I can ride by myself just fine."
Time goes back to 10 minutes ago, when the two of them went out the back door, Jiang Yi asked Li Yaya very rudely where her electric bike was. Li Yaya didn't understand, but still pointed.
Jiang Yi reached out for the key, got on the bike consciously, pointed at the back seat, and invited Li Yaya to hurry up and get on.
Li Yaya frowned. She was worried that having two people in the car would tire her electric bike.
After much hesitation, he still got on the bike and just told Jiang Yi to ride slowly. Then Jiang Yi found that even if he wanted to ride faster, the electric bike would not allow him to do so.
Li Yaya didn't hold back on the slap. It really hurt Jiang. "Wow, Yaya, you look as thin as a bean sprout, how come you are so strong?"
Li Yaya took out her cell phone and said absentmindedly, "Moving beer," while checking the message.
Staring at Lin Jing's dialog box, Li Yaya didn't know what to reply.
It feels inappropriate to reply anything, and it also feels inappropriate not to reply.
After thinking it over, I replied, "My neighbor downstairs said there's a water leak in my house, so I'm taking some time off to go home and see what's going on."
Then, the moment after sending the message, the left and right brains start fighting each other. One side says, "It's better not to reply to this message," while the other side says, "I've already replied, so who cares?"
The electric car was slowly driving in the summer night breeze. Li Yaya was absent-mindedly waiting for news from Lin Jing. She didn't hear Jiang Yi's voice at all.
Jiang Yi suddenly pressed the brake handle, and the electric bike stopped suddenly. Li Yaya's face "Duang~" bumped into Jiang Yi's back, and then she came to her senses. She didn't know what happened. Why did it stop suddenly? Could it be that -
Li Yaya nimbly got down from the back seat. "Why did it stop so suddenly? Is the electric bike okay? I knew it would be tiring for two people to sit on it."
Jiang Yi felt that he had never been so speechless in his life, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes. He said angrily, "Your broken electric bike is fine, it's fine. But you, I talked to you all the way and you didn't respond to me at all, are you okay?"
"You're the one with the broken electric car. Show it some respect."
“Is that the point?”
“How is this not the point!”
Both of them were a little angry and stared at each other angrily.
At 10:30, many pedestrians were passing by. A man on an electric scooter sped past, leaving a message: "Young couple, talk things over nicely, don't quarrel!"
"Who is his lover?"
Jiang Yi snorted, "When the word 'couple' is applied to us, I'm the one who suffers, okay? Why are you unhappy about that?"
Li Yaya widened her eyes and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She completely forgot about Lin Jing on the other end of the phone. Her stubbornness came over her and she wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Yi.
————Finally, the two people who were tired of arguing ended it with Li Yaya punching Jiang once or twice.
The electric car was parked aside, and the two people sat slumped on the roadside. It seemed that after the unbridled quarrel, the depression that had accumulated in Li Yaya's heart left her body along with the words she had said.
I felt much more relaxed.
Jiang Yi glanced at Li Yaya beside him. Not bad, her brows relaxed. Very good, the effect he wanted was achieved.
Jiang Yi was a smart enough man. He could tell at a glance that Li Yaya was worried, but he also knew that given their relationship, it was not enough for him to ask directly, and even if he asked, she would not tell him.
All he could do was think of a way to help Li Yaya not hold it in, any way to let her vent.
Of course, he didn't mind becoming an outlet for Li Yaya's emotions.
But I still have to sigh that it really hurts when Li Yaya hits people.
The two of them stayed on the roadside for more than half an hour.
Lin Jing, who had been waiting for Li Yaya's reply for a long time, had to take a taxi back to the hotel.
This place is not like Beijing. At 11 o'clock, there are few cars and even fewer people on the streets. Lin Jing stared at the streets passing by outside the car window, not knowing whether he was admiring the so-called scenery or just in a daze.
The figure flashed past his eyes, and even though it was only for a few brief seconds, Lin Jing recognized Li Yaya at a glance.
He felt an indescribable irritation, anger, or even fury in his heart. He knew Li Yaya was lying to him, but why was there really a boy with her?
It turns out that he is the only one who can't forget the four years of separation.
