I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 10
Yang Sisi and I, two people who have a lot of time to waste, found a shady place and waited from six o'clock to eight o'clock.Afterwards, I finally couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Are you fooling me? After waiting for a long time, people?"

"I didn't fool you, why don't you go back and take a shower first, seeing that you are weak, you can sweat all over sitting here."

"Stop talking, where are you sweating?"

Yang Sisi picked up the clothes on my back with a look of disgust, and the wind blew in between the clothes and the body through the gap, bringing a chilly feeling.I was suddenly tired, and some fragments from the big cities kept flashing in my spiritual world: I stood in the most dangerous place, watching the group of people under my feet blowing the horn of urban attack, and then another They fell down one after another, and at the end, all they could see were the thin and small bodies that were asymmetrical to the prosperity of the city, "dead" behind the sensuality and wealth!And large shopping malls and hotels are still brightly lit, and the wheels of luxury cars are still crushing the humble dust on the road...

This scene was too terrifying, so I hinted to myself over and over again that this is Dali... After the subsided, I lay down on the road made of stones as if collapsed.

I closed my eyes and imagined that I was on the Erhai Lake, and then I threw my unbearable past and troubles into the 20-meter-deep sea...

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the woman I had rescued on the highway. At this moment, I felt like standing by the Huangpu River, overlooking half of Shanghai...

The reason why I say this is because she has a strong Shanghai atmosphere, representing the most elite people in that city, and I used to live on the opposite side of her, looking extremely small, but it cannot be denied: After being in close contact with her, she was even more beautiful and moving than what she saw in the sunset on the viewing platform that day.

I really don't know how to describe a woman, but physical and psychological changes can't deceive people. I have almost no chance to meet the woman in front of me in real life, so after being unprepared, I Not sure how to talk to her, or say hello before her.

I already understood: Yang Sisi has been in touch with her all the time, and she is the one who will invite us to dinner tonight, probably to thank that rainy night, I put a spare tire on her car on the highway.

……

She opened her mouth first: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

"Uh...it's okay, we're both idlers anyway."

I smiled at her after I finished speaking, and then I lit a cigarette to make myself look more comfortable.She responded to me with a very shallow smile, and said: "I left too hastily that night. If I hadn't left my contact information with Sisi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to treat you to dinner and express my thanks."

"It's a little effort, don't take it too seriously."

She doesn't seem to be very good at actively finding topics to communicate with people, so after I finished this sentence, the two of us chatted to death.Fortunately, there is Yang Sisi. After she took a look at us, she said, "Don't you guys introduce yourself first? Otherwise, when you meet in the future, you can just say that and this."

I finally exchanged glances with her, and then I looked away first, and said, "My name is Mi Gao, from Sichuan, and I have worked in Shanghai for several years."

She nodded, and said after me, "My name is Ye Zhi, and I'm half a Shanghainese."

I was a little curious about her being half a Shanghainese, and then I found that her facial features are much more three-dimensional than ordinary women, and her skin is also whiter, but she is not completely out of the yellow race, so she is probably of mixed race.

Sure enough, Yang Sisi rushed to say again: "Sister Ye Zhi's grandmother is British. If you do the math, she should have a quarter of British blood."

I nodded, and then glanced at her again. She stood in the wind, as if forming a world by herself, while the ordinary people represented by me could only see from a distance through many obstacles, although at this moment, she was really far away. I am very close.

So, I imagined another possibility, if there is no Yang Sisi, just me and her alone, will it be possible for her to come down from the cloud?Then I can also tell her a few jokes and show my true self in front of her.

In fact, this kind of thinking is quite boring, because I'm really not good at dealing with this type of woman, if Yang Sisi didn't get involved, it would only be more embarrassing.

……

This night, I became a very lucky man. On my left was Yang Sisi, and on my right was Ye Zhi who I just met.If I am a particularly vain person, then this moment must be the most enjoyable time in my life, because the eyes of strangers are the most real.They have been looking at me with a look of "what are you capable of?" When we walked away, the same look was projected from another group of people's eyes.

I have a feeling of being killed!

……

In the end, Ye Zhi, who invited me to dinner, brought Yang Sisi and me to a small farmyard by the Erhai Lake.Before knocking on the door, she turned to us and said, "This is a private restaurant run by a Taiwanese friend of mine."

Yang Sisi hurriedly said again: "I was hungry all day just to wait for this meal, is it delicious?"

"Of course, he was a Michelin star chef before coming to Dali."

I don't quite understand what Michelin is, but Yang Sisi seems to understand it very well. She glanced at Ye Zhi with an incredulous look on her face, but this time she didn't ask any more questions.

The person who opened the door for us was a middle-aged Taiwanese man, Ye Zhi called him "Brother Cheng", followed by a middle-aged woman, Ye Zhi called her Sister Li, they were a couple, and for us Brother Cheng is the one who cooks.

Compared with the way when we came, entering the yard is a different scene.Brother Cheng’s private restaurant was remodeled from an old house of the Bai people, so most of them are civil structures, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted. Under the rendering of the lights, there is a feeling of returning to the original life. Feel.And the many furnishings in the house also let me see a kind of ingenuity, which will arouse people's desire, and make people unconsciously want to sit here for a while and drink some small tea.

After greeting each other, Sister Li led us to the balcony on the second floor, where there was a long western-style table with many desserts and appetizers on it.This gave me a taste temptation, and the Erhai Lake, which is quietly flowing not far away, gave me a visual temptation.

I have to admit that although the place that Sister Li and Brother Cheng chose is out of the market, it is very cost-effective. Anyway, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come here as a repeat customer.And Yang Sisi and Ye Zhi were also standing by the railing of the balcony at the same time, looking at the Erhai Lake which is very close to us and the line of lights on the other side.

Looking at their backs, I felt a very comfortable tranquility. Finally, after Sister Li left, I took the initiative to speak to Ye Zhi: "I have been in Shanghai for a long time, and my heart is full of irritability that cannot be shaken off. This place Very good, like another world."

Ye Zhi looked back at me, smiled and replied: "Really? I just think Dali's night view is very beautiful..." After a short pause, she added: "Actually, Shanghai also has its advantages, at least it has a chance. Many. However, if you get along with this city with an evasive mentality, you will probably make yourself very passive.”

I'm not stupid, I can hear what she seems to be aiming at.Thinking about it again, Yang Sisi has always had her contact information, and I'm afraid I have already told her about my resignation and coming to Dali.So, she wanted to tell me something.

This should be a good intention, but I really can't go back to Shanghai, because my heart has died there with Wang Lei.

The atmosphere was a bit dignified. I don't know if Yang Sisi did it on purpose or not. She changed the subject and asked Ye Zhi, "Sister, is this small courtyard also designed by Brother Cheng?"

"It's Sister Li. Sister Li used to be an architect."

"Amazing... No wonder many friends say that Dali is a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. You can meet so many talented people after a meal... But... why do they come to Dali without doing such a good job? And their children, don't they need to worry about it?"

Ye Zhi straightened her hair that was blown tousled by the wind, and then replied in a low voice: "I haven't asked about it, and they haven't taken the initiative to chat with me."

"Then do they enjoy life in Dali?"

As soon as Yang Sisi finished speaking, I subconsciously looked at Sister Li and Brother Cheng who were busy in the kitchen.But this time, my sharpness failed to play a role. From just now to now, I can only feel their enthusiasm and hospitality. Whether they are really happy or not, I have no way of knowing.However, they are like a mirror in front of me. If they can live well in Dali after abandoning everything, why can't I?
On the contrary, it will also affect my confidence.Because I don't know anything about Dali, the only people I can refer to are Brother Cheng and Sister Li who are similar to me.

Just when Ye Zhi was about to answer Yang Sisi, Sister Li brought up a plate of matsutake from downstairs, and the topic came to an abrupt end.So, it became a mystery whether she and Brother Cheng made do with each other, or really enjoyed it.

……

At the beginning of dinner, Brother Cheng solemnly opened the champagne for us, and then said to us: "Thank you for coming to the private restaurant of me and Sister Li...today's dishes were bought at the vegetable market in Xiaguan early in the morning , very fresh... just don't know if it suits your taste, you all have a taste first."

The three of us picked up the chopsticks together. Brother Cheng's craftsmanship is really top-notch. At least I have been in Shanghai for so many years, and I have never eaten such good Western and Taiwanese food.Come to think of it, Ye Zhi thought about it before inviting us to dinner, so she brought us here.

If we say that we must pursue fairness in getting along with each other, then I think this meal is enough for her to repay my little favor.

After I ate a steamed river prawn, I gave a thumbs up and said to Brother Cheng: "The environment here is good, and the food tastes even better!"

Brother Cheng and I looked at each other and smiled, and then said jokingly: "You, don't bother to praise the food and the scenery, the two beauties around you should also take care of it. In my opinion, even Dali's romance is not as good as They are!"

Sister Li echoed Brother Cheng and praised both Yang Sisi and Ye Zhi, and then asked me, "Would you like some more Dali's local specialty beer: Wind Flower Snow Moon?"

I was a little puzzled: "Fantasy and snowy?"

"Yes, Dali has two towns, Shangguan and Xiaguan, and the most famous Cangshan and Erhai...these four places have their own characteristics, so there are Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, and Erhai moon. Such a way of saying. Nowadays, many people from other places compare Dali to a romance, and I think it is quite appropriate... But, what kind of artistic conception is it, you still have to experience it yourself!"

I looked at Sister Li and nodded, and then took a can of "Feng Hua Xue Yue" beer from her hand. "Flowers, Snow and Moon" is in every possible situation in the future.
