Do not hesitate

Chapter 2

Los Angeles, a city with 400 million people, is only one-fifth of Beijing's. Si Luochen doesn't believe that she can't find Xiang Qiantong.

Carrying a bag, wearing big sunglasses and walking out of the airport, looking at this "City of Angels" is the Holy Land of Hollywood.I have to admit, it's really beautiful here.

The taxi drove Si Luochen to the hotel in Welsh Square, and after checking in, Si Luochen didn't want to stay for a moment.Changed into casual clothes, took the address given by Wang Shaoke, and came to the location where the photo was taken.

In this place, people come and go during the day, and hundreds of people may be swept away in a blink of an eye.In such a dense place, people's faces can't be seen clearly at all, even if Xiang Qiantong reappears, can she really be seen?

At the subway station next to it, there will be a group of people regularly, making the already complicated road even more cumbersome.

Si Luochen stood where he was, holding up the photo and comparing it with the real thing with his eyes.The same angle, the same position, but the figure in the photo cannot be seen.

I don't know how long I stood there, and I don't know how many people passed by.Si Luochen just wanted to stay and look at the place where she passed by for a while, as if he could catch her figure.

If you are not so attached to being a human being, maybe you will be happier.

There is a better way, no one wants to stand around and expect a miracle to happen.If miracles can happen so easily, then winning the jackpot is nothing more than commonplace. Will so many people still be persistent?

Perhaps in a lifetime, people have to be stupid once before it is not considered a waste of life.

As the sky gradually dimmed, Si Luochen pulled back his thoughts.Only then did my legs feel a little sore and numb.He hammered lightly and turned around reluctantly, wanting to take a few more glances.

Come back tomorrow, I told myself in my heart.

After walking a few steps, I saw a coffee shop. The door of the shop is very simple, but there are many people coming and going.Pushing the door open with a tired body, a strong aroma of coffee hits the face.

After ordering food, he walked into the bathroom. After a long flight and thirsty and hungry, Si Luochen almost couldn't recognize himself when he saw this face.

Not knowing who this pitiful appearance was for, he sneered.

Sitting by the window, the boss brought over coffee and sandwiches.It turns out that sitting here can see the place where the figure appeared, and this sitting has been going on for a long time.

In the evening, the crowd began to increase, and only after hearing from the person who bought the coffee did I know that there was a heavyweight match at the Staples Arena next door.This city is full of different heat, roasting everyone living here.

Si Luochen sat in that position until the end of the game before dragging his tired body back to the hotel.She didn't check the time all day today, but just made random decisions with the sunrise and sunset.This place is 12 hours slower than China, and Si Luochen felt that no matter how much he wasted, he was earning money.

I want to take a comfortable bath and then sleep well to make up for the lost complexion.After all, women love beauty, but they can't sleep in bed.

Is it too tired, or is the adrenals a little high?

It's because it's too strange here.

In the dark night, the outline of the room could be vaguely seen.I really didn't expect that with just a blurry photo, I was in the United States, a country I had never been before.

Very good, Si Luochen, you are really good.

It is said that people are contradictory, especially women.What was decided one moment may be regretted the next moment.Fortunately, there is no word "regret" in her character, even if she realizes the problem, she is unwilling to change her original decision easily. This is her advantage and also her disadvantage.

After waking up the next day, Si Luochen still came to the coffee shop after lunch.Sitting in the same position as yesterday, leaning on your chin and staring straight at it, ignoring how many people pass by, no matter where the time goes.

Si Luochen knew that this was not the way, but she could only do this if there was no better way.

I always believe that if two people who are destined, no matter how far apart, they will meet at a corner and know each other and love each other, and those who are not destined to walk across will just miss.

I kept this mentality and sat for several days in a row, with a cup of coffee and a sandwich every day, leaning on my chin and looking at that position.

A glass of fruit juice was brought to the table, and following the movement, Si Luochen's puzzled gaze met him.Sitting opposite is the owner of this store, a chubby middle-aged man with an amiable smile on his mouth: "It's not good to drink coffee too much, freshly squeezed juice, please drink."

He took the cup and smelled it. It was kiwi fruit juice with a slice of lemon sandwiched in it. He said lightly, "Thank you."

"Waiting for someone? I see you've been sitting in this position for a long time these days." Following Si Luochen's gaze just now, he looked at the subway entrance and asked curiously.

Si Luochen lowered his eyebrows, holding the cup in his hand, drawing circles on the cup body with his fingers, nodding his head slightly.

The boss knew that Si Luochen didn't want to talk too much, and didn't want to disturb him, but when he was about to stand up, he heard Si Luochen's voice.

"Excuse me, is there any mountain top here that can see the whole picture of Los Angeles?"

The boss thought about it for a while, then touched an order list with the name of the coffee shop on his body, wrote an address on it with a pen, and simply drew a map, saying: "I only know that you can see the most beautiful places here." The view of Los Angeles."

I didn't expect the boss to be so confident. Si Luochen replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, I didn't expect you to be so busy here and still have time to climb the mountain."

Seeing the person in front of him smiling, the boss shook his head and replied: "I also listened to the introduction of the customer. I took my wife there once, and it was really good."

To this end, he specially called his wife to confirm.Like the boss, the boss's wife looks like a middle-aged American. She is in a period of weight gain, very strong, and very enthusiastic.

After thanking him softly, Si Luochen, who had finished drinking the juice, got up and left.I waited outside for a long time before I got a taxi. I really want to go to the place recommended by the boss to see how beautiful this city is.

What is it about it that attracts you?

The coffee shop is usually less and less crowded after the evening, and the boss and the proprietress clear away the cups as usual.The door was pushed open, and a woman walked in.

"Hi, Sam, Julie, long time no see." The woman was tall and graceful, and looked at the two of them slightly with a pair of peach blossom eyes.The T-shirt and jeans are very casual, the black hair is very long, tied into a smooth ponytail at the back of the head, there is no excess hair in front of the forehead, neither permed nor dyed, such a woman with oriental characteristics is very pleasing to the eye even in Los Angeles .

Seeing the woman in front of them, the two returned a warm smile.

"Qiantong, long time no see, have you been busy recently?" Sam said.

"I have some things to do these days, so I'll be looking for you as soon as I come back." He said while reaching out to Sam, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Would you like a drink or two?"

Sam took out a bottle of foreign wine and put it on the bar long before she said it. Julie smiled and turned and went backstage to take out a few snacks, and softly signaled her husband to drink less before entering the office to settle today's income.

The old and the young inside and outside the bar were chatting and laughing, and seemed to have a good conversation.

"Oh? Is there such a strange person?" Xiang Qiantong took a sip of his wine and said.

"Both of you, she wants to see the night view of Los Angeles, and I gave you the address." He pointed to the table and continued: "She has been sitting there every day for the past few days, and she sat there all afternoon. , as if waiting for someone."

"Why, have you taken a fancy to her?" He looked in the direction Sam pointed, playing with taste.

Sam ignored Xiang Qiantong's joke, poured another glass of wine, changed the subject and asked, "What have you been up to lately?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, he waved to Qiantong and said with a smile, "I just changed my job. I may go to New York to live for a while next week. I came to see you today and say goodbye."

"Are you going to leave completely this time?"

"I've stayed here for too long, I want to change the environment, maybe it's more suitable for me." Xiang Qiantong said.

"A woman doesn't have much time to waste, Qiantong, you should find a boyfriend." Sam said, with the tone of someone who has experienced it.

"I'm only 27 years old."

Sam said, "How many 27s does a woman have?"

"Any age has only one." Xiang Qiantong replied, but felt a little lonely.She didn't want to waste her youth, but she didn't find a reason to stop, so why force herself.

"When I was with Julie, I also wondered if I was too young. In a blink of an eye, 20 years have passed. If I hadn't been with her, I might have nothing now."

I don't know if it's because people who drink alcohol are always easy to feel sad.

"You are very happy now, that's enough." He raised his glass and continued: "Cheers, for our happy future."

Sam didn't say anything more, the two cups collided and drank it down in one gulp.
