Spirit Boss - 130. Infatuated with regret (1)
“The weather is very good today. When I came, I saw someone flying a kite on the grass on the side of the road. I haven’t been flying a kite for a long time. The last time it was in elementary school. We made kites in the handicraft class, and the teacher brought them during the activity class. We went to put it in the park. I still remember that there were a lot of people that day, and there were people everywhere…”
Xu Yiming’s voice gradually lowered, “I really want to fly the kite again…”
The window next to him was half open, and the wind came in, and the translucent white curtain was lifted to block his sight.
It made Tao Le’s figure so dim, so blurry, and so indistinguishable in his sight.
In this short moment, he seemed to feel that the person sitting less than two meters away from him was still the vigorous Tao Le. He was still dyed with dazzling blond hair and laughed arrogantly.
The wind passed.
The curtains fell.
The man opposite him was beaten back to the prototype.
Black and yellow mixed shoulder-length hair, beard with no lips, and those hollow eyes that don’t know what they’re looking at…
Xu Yiming wanted to open his mouth, but after counting his nose, his voice choked slightly, “I want to go back to Xu Yiming back then. The most annoying thing every day is homework, and the most depressing time of the year is the parent meeting…” He slowly, slowly Smile slowly, “So, you come back too.”
Tao Le’s eyes finally had a focus.
He looked at Xu Yiming and slowly opened his mouth, “Did you find it?” His voice was hoarse, as if a truck was running over a gravel road, and as if every word was popping out of the deepest part of his throat.
Xu Yiming choked when he prepared.
Tao Le’s eyes had no brilliance. It seemed that although I was asking, I didn’t expect anything.
“I’m leaving.” Xu Yiming stood up and stomped his numb feet. “Take care.” He turned sharply, as if there was nothing here that could arouse his nostalgia.
“Yi Ming.” A soft call came from behind.
Xu Yiming’s feet stopped suddenly.
“sorry.”
Xu Yiming shook slightly, then took a deep breath, picked up the luggage at the door, and strode away without looking back.
Xiang Wenxun stood downstairs and looked at Xu Yiming, who was walking downstairs quickly, and said, “It’s decided?”
Xu Yiming stopped abruptly and smiled bitterly, “Do I have any other choice?”
“I thought you would stick to it.”
Xu Yiming slowly said: “If he has me in his eyes this year, even a little bit, I will stick to it.”
Xiang Wenxun changed the subject and said, “What are your plans for the future?”
“I also made a lot of money in this business, and it’s okay to open a bar or something. Don’t worry about me.”
Xiang Wenxun took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to him, “This is what you forgot to take when you resigned.”
Xu Yiming took the envelope and laughed self-deprecatingly: “I was anxious to accompany him to find Jiang Junjie, but I forgot.”
Xiang Wenxun patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: “A good journey.”
Xu Yiming looked down at the toe of the shoe and said for a while: “If you can find Jiang Junjie, please help him.”
“I have a sense of measure.”
Xiang Wenxun watched him get into the car before turning upstairs.
There was a smell of wine in the corridor.
Although he would search Tao Le’s wine every time he came, it was obviously not very effective.
This villa belongs to him. He has lived here ever since Father Tao hated Tao Le for iron and steel and drove him out of the house.
The door at the end is concealed.
He stood in front of the door, but did not enter.
He was contradictory at this time.
It’s not that he didn’t see Tao Le frantically looking for Jiang Junjie. From excitement, to collapse, to numbness, he was by his side at every stage. In fact, he has always known the whereabouts of Jiang Junjie, and Jiang Xueyan has never secreted him. But he never mentioned it and stood by. One is because he feels that this ending is good for both parties. The second is because…Although Tao Le was expelled from the Tao family, he is still the only seedling of the Tao family. If he helped Tao Le be with another man, it would definitely arouse the hatred of Tao’s father. He knew that Father Tao was still watching Tao Le in secret.
Tao Le seemed to feel his gaze and turned his head slowly.
Sunlight shone from behind his head. He looked like a sleepy beast.
Xiang Wenxun raised his foot and walked into the room.
“Looking for wine again?” Tao Le took the initiative to pull the wine bottle out of the chair and handed it to him.
Xiang Wenxun took the wine bottle, sat in the chair Xu Yiming had sat on, and slowly said, “You and Ming Shao have changed a lot in one year.”
Tao Le moved his beard. No one knows whether he smiled or curled his lips.
——Perhaps he doesn’t even know it himself.
“From now on, you will be like you did when you went to the United States, if nothing happened.”
Tao Le’s expression froze before he said: “Just because I left him and went to the United States, I can’t do nothing. No, in fact, I have never done nothing.”
“Have you thought about your future?” Xiang Wenxun said.
Tao Le’s eyes flashed, like a hungry beast, two clusters of flames were burning in his pupils, and he stared at him, “What do you mean?”
“I think you always think about how to find it, but you never thought about what to do after you find it? So ask.”
Tao Le stared at him blankly for a long time, the flame extinguished in his pupils, and the whole person was discouraged like a ball: “I thought about it. I even thought about going to the United States to get married.”
“What about the money?”
“I have been secretly saving money since I came back from the United States.” Tao Le said, “I don’t know that there are more than 10 million in my other account.”
Xiang Wenxun said, “Is it enough for you?”
Tao Le pointed to the beer in his hand and said, “How much do you think it would cost to drink three bottles of this a day?”
Xiang Wenxun stood up, took a note from his pocket and stuck it on his lap, “Address.”
Tao Le was shocked and looked at the piece of paper that was only half the size of his palm in disbelief. It took a long time before he jumped up and rushed outside.
Xiang Wenxun stood motionless, and after a while, Tao Le really rushed back.
Xiang Wenxun handed out the car keys silently.
“Brother! Thank you!” Tao Le hugged him tightly and ran out again.
Xiang Wenxun sighed silently.
This is a strange city.
The same high-rise buildings, the same busy traffic, but no trace of familiarity can be found.
Tao Le held the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
The blood that had been silent for a long time was anxiously impacted by the sudden hope.
He parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the five-story old building on the side of the road.
The location marked on the address is here, and that person lives here.
Tao Le slowly raised his hand and touched the position of his heart.
The beating is extremely intense.
The car window was tapped twice.
He shrank his shoulders and hurriedly opened the window of the car.
“No parking here.” The traffic policeman said.
“I, I will leave soon.” Tao Le is not very comfortable talking to strangers, his tongue is a little knotted.
The traffic police stepped back and frowned, “Show your driver’s license and driving license.”
Tao Le handed it over obediently.
Fortunately, Xiang Wenxun had thought of lending him the car before, so he put it in the car for him in advance.
The traffic policeman took it, pulled back and compared it for a few times before saying, “Can you show your face?”
Tao Le said blankly, “I’ve been showing it all the time.”
The traffic policeman said: “Your face is too green.”
“…”
“You haven’t brushed your teeth in a few days?”
“……Can not remember.”
“Stop greening the face, beautify the lower mouth.” The traffic police handed him the driver’s license and driving license. “There is a supermarket in front of it, selling air fresheners.”
Tao Le said dumbly: “…I will be poisoned to death.”
The traffic police almost fainted, “I let you spray in the car!”
After the traffic police left, Tao Le finally looked straight into his face from the rearview mirror.
A lively caveman appeared in front of him.
“…”
He was shocked for a while, touched his beard, and said to himself: “It’s time to shave.”
After three hours of cleaning up, he came back to stay in a new look.
The sky was dark, and the lights were on in every household.
Tao Le lay on the car window, counting floors one after another.
“Fourth floor…402.” He stared at the two bright and dark windows on the fourth floor, hoping for a miracle, the man suddenly walked to the window.
But one hour passed, two hours passed…
The windows upstairs were thrown into the darkness one by one, and the person still did not appear.
Tao Le finally couldn’t help getting out of the car and wandering in front of the building.
Near nostalgia.
He heard his heart beating wildly, his hands trembling, and the steps he stepped on were vain. People seem to faint at any time. But he also knew that he could not faint, never faint. Once he fainted and woke up, he realized that all this was just a dream of Nan Ke, and he would definitely not be able to bear it.
There were footsteps behind him.
One click, the rhythm is gentle and regular.
Tao Le’s body froze.
He would never forget this footstep, nor would he hear it wrong. Because he had relived it many times when he dreamed back at midnight.
The footsteps stopped.
Tao Le turned his head slowly, almost quickly.
There was a young man standing between him and the car, tall and slender, with neat short hair, but his cold expression seemed to shut the whole world away.
“Junjie…” Tao Le heard his voice trembling in the dark.
