i'm not a bad man

Chapter 156
Where the sea meets the sky, there is a faint glow. At this time, Zuo Xiaowei drove the car to the "Jiaozhou Bay Bridge". Looking at the scenery on both sides of the bridge, I was no longer in the same mood as before, because this Once, I really didn’t know when I would come back again, so when I looked at the undulating waves and the flying birds, I felt a little nostalgic in my heart, so I kept looking at it intently; originally I just wanted to remember this place. The scenery, but gradually many pictures other than this scenery appeared in my mind...

I remembered the first day that Luan Yu and I came to Qingdao together. Because we hadn’t seen the sea for a long time, we parked the RV at the beach and sat on the beach for a whole day; she said, if we can be like those who have Like rich people, it would be nice to have a house by the sea. After saying this, she stared at me for a long, long time...

Later, we started looking for jobs in this city together. In the past, she always found a job before me, but after arriving in Qingdao, she slowed down. I had already found a carpentry job on the construction site, but she found a job in front of me. When it comes to those ordinary jobs, I have learned to be picky.

One night, she suddenly hugged me and called me "husband" several times. I scolded her for being crazy, but she buried her head in my arms. I thought she was acting coquettishly, but later I found out that was her last nostalgia and reluctance.

The next day, she said she was going out for an interview and never came back. I waited for her alone at the beach for three days and two nights without sleeping a wink.

……

Later, I gradually accepted the fact that she had abandoned me, and I became decadent. I spent all my time in bars getting drunk and having fun. It was at that time that I met Ren Ran and Zuo Xiaowei...

To this day, I still can't forget the scene when I first saw them. They were sitting among a group of people. They were so beautiful and eye-catching that I couldn't help but strike up a conversation...

Now, one of them is my girlfriend, and the other is regarded as my sister, better than my own sister.

Later, I got to know Lu Xi and Qiao Jiao through a strange combination of circumstances...

They are another class beyond my knowledge, so when we get along, I look up to them to some extent, but in the end we get along as friends. I thought they would become a new starting point for me in Qingdao, but fate is a cunning one. A sinister trap, when Luan Yu appeared in my sight again, Lu Xi and Qiao Jiao became the end of my stay in Qingdao.

I left, a little embarrassed and unwilling; so, all these things turned into memories and appeared in my mind at this moment. I lost my mind again, so that the scenery outside the car window also followed. It became blurry.

……

"Han Chao, after crossing this bridge, you are mine."

Only then did I come back to my senses, and then turned to look at Zuo Xiaowei...

Although I didn't respond, I thought a lot in my mind. This bridge is indeed like a dividing line. After crossing this bridge, there is nothing that can connect me with the QD city behind me; therefore, I should Leave Qingdao behind and look forward to the upcoming life in a small city...

I looked back again. The sun was rising, the autumn wind was rippling, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, and it was in an unreal illusion. This further verified what I thought. After crossing this bridge, I was once there. Everything that happens here has nothing to do with me; of course the city will not disappear. This is actually a kind of self-isolation on a conscious level. Because I no longer live here, I cannot perceive the rhythm and changes of this city. It only Can exist in my fantasy, and everything that requires fantasy is illusory, not just this city, but also the people in this city... I can no longer communicate with Ren Ran, Qiao Jiao, When we meet in Luxi and think of them again, I have no idea what they wore today, what they ate, or what their mood was. All I can do is guess...

After being in a daze for a moment, I finally spoke to Zuo Xiaowei and said, "Why do you feel like you are succeeding in a plot when you say this?"

I was joking, but Zuo Xiaowei replied seriously: "This is not a trick, you have to know that love must be selfish, that's why I want to take you back to my city so much..." After a pause, she Then he said to me: "I know you can't let go of this city, and you can't let go of some people in this city. In fact, I am the same. I have been singing here for two years, and I have encountered many opportunities and sincere wishes." If someone who is good to me gives up these things, of course there will be pain, but I can bear this pain, because when I return to the small town, I can become another Zuo Xiaowei... You are my boyfriend, so, You will definitely follow me and become another Korean trend. They say life in small cities is boring, but I think this change is worth looking forward to. I really want to know what the Korean trend living in small cities will be like. .”

"Zuo Xiaowei is Zuo Xiaowei. What changes will happen when we return to the small town?" "You will know when you get there."

After saying that, Zuo Xiaowei stepped on the accelerator hard. Before I even had time to look back, the car drove away from the "Jiaozhou Bay Bridge" like lightning.

……

The highway was smooth all the way. Zuo Xiaowei and I took turns driving twice. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we had already entered the small town. Although I had been to this small town before, because I had been to too many places, As a result, the image is a bit blurry. I only remember that there is a famous mountain here. The city is full of flowers and crisscrossed with ravines. It is suitable for summer escape and vacation. As for the scenery along the way before entering the small town, I can’t remember clearly. Therefore, before getting off the highway, I I kept looking out the car window, trying to find some memories of the past. I didn’t want to enter the small town with the mentality that everything was unfamiliar...

A few years ago, it was late spring and early summer, but now it is late autumn and early winter. The mountains are bald, the grass is no longer green, and even the springs in the mountains have stopped flowing. After all, I came here with a feeling of strangeness. The end of the highway...

Until, I saw Zuo Xiaowei on the giant billboard opposite the toll station. It seemed to be her. She was wearing a Hanfu and holding an oil-paper umbrella. She was smiling, as if she was cordially greeting everyone who came to the small town. Visitors as guests...

Zuo Xiaowei had already handed the pass card to the staff at the toll station. While the staff was confirming the toll fee, I, who was not sure, asked Zuo Xiaowei, "Is that you the person on the billboard?"

Zuo Xiaowei glanced at it and said with a smile: "Yes, I am the tourism promotion ambassador of our county."

I couldn't help but sigh: "With such a big billboard standing at a highway intersection, you must be a household name in a small town!"

"of course."

Zuo Xiaowei responded, and the staff member who had determined the toll fee chatted with Zuo Xiaowei. She told Zuo Xiaowei that at the county's tourism mobilization meeting this summer, senior county officials also mentioned Zuo Xiaowei, saying She represents the tourism image of the town and is a rare talent of the town. She is not only the tourism promotion ambassador of the town, but also the singer of the town’s tourism promotion theme song.

I probably understand why Zuo Xiaowei said that after returning to the small town, she would become another Zuo Xiaowei; in Qingdao, she was just one of thousands of bar singers, but when she returned to the small town, she was the whole The city’s jewel!

……

After exiting the toll station, Zuo Xiaowei parked the car in an open space, then opened the car window and waved to the opposite side. Before I could react, the Bentley Bentayga parked opposite us walked out and left. A man of the same age as Xiao Wei, he seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, so that after receiving Zuo Xiaowei's greeting, he walked over quickly.

Zuo Xiaowei then said to me: "His name is Guan Yubo. He is my best friend of the opposite sex in the small town. He was the one who asked him to sign for your suitcase."

Before this man named Guan Yubo came to our side, I subconsciously glanced at the double-color Bentley Bentayga that was very conspicuous among a bunch of cars. It was a top-notch car, with a license plate numbered 4 and 9. It is also a symbol of power...

I didn't have much thought about this, but I just felt that Zuo Xiaowei beside me suddenly became a little strange.
