Chapter 43: Depressed and Lost

On this night, two days after the last call, Li Xiaoran called again.

Zhong Xiaofei walked to the balcony to pick him up.

The night wind is very cool and the night view is also charming. I heard the sound of cars passing by downstairs, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air. It turned out that there were more than a dozen pots of bonsai flowers on the balcony, which were blooming brilliantly.

"Hi, Xiaofei, have you bothered?" Li Xiaoran's sweet and gentle voice came from her phone.

Hearing her voice, Zhong Xiaofei's fingers trembled a little. It has been several years since he broke up, but it has to be admitted that in his heart, Li Xiaoran still occupies an important position. This position cannot be replaced by others, and even Wu Yijie cannot.

"Of course not." Zhong Xiaofei smiled relaxedly, "It's all over the night, I'm watching TV and getting ready to go to bed."

"Oh... Where is Xiaowei? Xiao Nizi doesn't answer my phone."

"She's asleep." Zhong Xiaofei told a lie, "By the way, Xiao Ran, I haven't told you that Xiao Wei has found a job. She is working in the same company with me now."

"I heard from Jia Jia, well, thank you Xiaofei."

"No, Xiaowei can join the company, it's all her own efforts." Zhong Xiaofei said with a smile, "She is like you, she is a very strong and beautiful girl."

After saying this, I heard footsteps behind me. I looked at it with the corner of my eyes and saw He Meiyi wearing a pajama and rising up, leaning against the curtain, looking at her with charming eyes.

Zhong Xiaofei's heart was a little confused. Two women, one in the sky and the other in front of him, were squeezed together at this time.

"Why are you not talking anymore? Is it inconvenient?" Li Xiaoran asked sweetly on the other side of her phone.

"No, I'm just thinking about whether you've changed your current appearance?..." Zhong Xiaofei said as he blinked at He Meiyi, meaning that he would wait and be fine soon.

"Me" Li Xiaoran giggled, the laughter sounded as good as Zhong Xiaofei's memory, and perhaps even better. After laughing, she sighed softly, "Of course I have changed. I am already old and yellow, no one wants it..."

"How could it be? If you are old and yellow, then I will be a skeleton and bone." Zhong Xiaofei felt a little distressed. From Li Xiaoran's words, she could feel that she had not lived well in the past few years, and she was still affectionate to Zhong Xiaofei.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's be happy." Li Xiaoran changed the topic and started talking about their classmates when they were in college. The two of them had four years in college and had a lot of common memories and a lot of common topics, so the conversation went smoothly.

At the beginning, Zhong Xiaofei looked up at He Meiyi from time to time, smiled and comforted her, and signaled that she would do it immediately, but later he forgot about it as he chatted.

He didn't see that He Meiyi's face gradually changed from expectation and charm to depression and loss...

Zhong Xiaofei's thoughts have been completely immersed in the past years.

On the balcony of someone else's house, he was chatting with his old lover.

"Do you still remember that person? Haha, she got married last year, her husband is from Guangzhou, and she just gave birth to twins last month. How about Teacher Wang? Do you have any news about him? Yes, I heard that he is not in good health, but in good spirits. I just found a new and old man last year, and the dead tree is in spring. Oh, by the way, do you still remember that person? The one who hates the most, throws love letters into my bicycle basket every day. Hahaha, he, I remember that boy, who has lost weight, looks like a bamboo pole..."

Happy time passes quickly, and the two of them chat for half an hour.

"Oh, I'm hungry when I talk, it's all your fault..." Li Xiaoran smiled on her phone.

"I would have loved it if you were in Haizhou. I'll invite you out for a midnight snack. Do you still remember the meatball soup next to the school? I haven't had such a delicious meatball soup for many years."

Li Xiaoran agreed, "Yes, there is also jelly skin, the stall at the entrance of the old street."

"Haha, you forgot the chicken stewed mushrooms in the school cafeteria. To be honest, I have never eaten such delicious chicken stewed mushrooms since I graduated..."

Li Xiaoran interrupted him, "Xiaofei, Xiaofei, please stop talking. You said I will be so hungry tonight that I can't sleep. By the way, I may not be able to go to Haizhou next week. Recently, the company has a lot of import and export trade orders, and I can't be busy..."

"Is that true?" Zhong Xiaofei was a little disappointed. He originally thought he would see Li Xiaoran in the next week. He had been breaking up for more than two years, so he really wanted to see Li Xiaoran.

"But no matter what, I will definitely go to Haizhou on the 15th at the latest. You will have to pick me up at the airport."

"It must be certain" Zhong Xiaofei nodded and agreed.

"Xiaofei, ask you something..." Li Xiaoran hesitated suddenly.

"You ask."

"Do you... want to see me?" Li Xiaoran's sweet voice was shy.

"Think." Zhong Xiaofei answered without hesitation. This is his true words.

"That's great, I want to see you too." Li Xiaoran was happy on the other side of her phone, "Then it's settled. I will call you then. Good night now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaofei suddenly realized that He Meiyi was no longer by the curtains.

"Sister He?" He knew something was wrong and hurried into the house to search. He searched all the bedroom, living room and bathroom, but there was no one to see. Finally, he found a small note on the coffee table in the living room, saying: Close the door when you leave!

Zhong Xiaofei was stunned. He knew that He Meiyi must be angry, so he took out his cell phone and quickly called He Meiyi's number.

The phone is connected, but no one has answered it.

Zhong Xiaofei was very worried. Where will He Meiyi go after it was so late at night?

After putting on his clothes, he hurried downstairs to look for it. As soon as he walked downstairs, his cell phone rang and he saw that He Meiyi called back.

"What are you doing?" He Meiyi's sweet and greasy voice came from her phone, accompanied by the loud music. It turned out that she was in the bar.

"Sister He, where are you?" Zhong Xiaofei asked carefully.

"Don't worry..." He Meiyi's tongue was a little big, and it seemed that she had drunk a lot.

"Tell me Sister He, I'll pick you up..." Zhong Xiaofei begged, now he seems like a person who made a mistake asking for forgiveness. He Meiyi will be sorry tonight. He Meiyi must be very angry now. If something happens to him, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Hmph, humph,..." He Meiyi seemed to have drunk another big glass of wine, her tongue was so big that she couldn't explain it. There was a constant noise in her phone, and then the phone suddenly broke and could not be completed even if she called.

Zhong Xiaofei was very anxious and hurriedly stopped a taxi and drove towards the Post and Telecommunications Building. There was a bar street. If nothing unexpected happened, He Meiyi should be there.

Haizhou is the forefront of China's reform and opening up, the most open and prosperous area in China's economy, and the richest nightlife, so the bar industry is very developed. There are thousands of famous bars alone. Going to so many bars to find a drunk customer is simply a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiaofei knew something about He Meiyi and knew where she might go.

Zhong Xiaofei first went to Brother Nan’s bar and asked the waiter inside and outside. He searched around, but did not see He Meiyi’s shadow. He didn’t bother to say hello to Brother Nan. He rushed out and went to another bar to search. He found more than a dozen stores in one breath. After an hour passed, he still couldn’t see He Meiyi’s figure. What made Zhong Xiaofei even more worried was that He Meiyi’s mobile phone was turned off.

Zhong Xiaofei couldn't help but take out his cell phone and dialed Brother Nan's number. After telling Brother Nan about the situation, Brother Nan immediately sent his bar waiter and brother to help Zhong Xiaofei find it together.

A dozen people, on several nearby streets, searched along the bar, disco and nightclub.

When I found a nightclub called Crazy Life, Zhong Xiaofei finally saw He Meiyi.

He Meiyi was so drunk that she was helping her, a bald man in a suit, and was about to help her into a black car.

Zhong Xiaofei's anger erupted and rushed over with a quick speed.

The bald man helped He Meiyi into the back seat of the car and got into the cab and was about to drive away when he suddenly found a person blocking his car.

"Hmm? Why are you standing there? Are you looking for death?" The bald man stretched out his head and stared at him.

"Sorry, sir, I want to ask, who is the lady in the back seat you are?" Zhong Xiaofei asked calmly.

"Cao, do you care about your business?" The bald man became even more angry. "Go aside! If you don't let go, I will hit you to death!"

"I'm sorry, if you don't explain it clearly, I can't let you go because this lady is my colleague and I have an obligation to care about her. I don't know you and don't know what your relationship is with her, so please explain it clearly."

Zhong Xiaofei didn't want to fight, he just wanted to ask the matter clearly. If the bald man had good intentions to send He Meiyi home, he would be grateful, but if he was malicious, he would definitely not let it go. He said so clearly that if the bald man was a kind and open-minded person, he would not make things difficult for him.

But the bald man doesn't seem to be a kind person.

"Grass!" The bald man was furious and opened the door and walked out of the car. He came to Zhong Xiaofei in a fierce manner. He stretched out his finger and poked his chest, "Who are you? I dare to care about me? I said it last time! Get out, get out of here immediately, otherwise I will ruin you!"
