Looking back on 2009

Chapter 386 Pessimistic Romanticism

I borrowed an umbrella from the front desk, and the two of them had lunch at the corner shop before leaving the hotel.

The taste is not bad, Lu Caiwei specially ordered some light dishes, but Chen Zhihe was a bit tasteless.

However, he still pretended to be okay and ate happily.

When we came back, the rain was heavy again, and both of them were a little wet.

They went back to their rooms and after eating, although they didn't feel much appetite, they felt better.

After changing his wet clothes, Chen Zhihe hurried to take a hot shower, don't really catch a cold.

Not long after taking a shower, the phone by the bed rang.

Chen Zhihe, who was rubbing his hair with a towel, walked over and picked up the phone.

"Are you ok?"

It was Lu Caiwei who called.

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "I just took a shower, and it feels much better."

"it is good."

It is indeed much better, as long as you are deliberate enough, there is nothing you can't make it through.

About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Thinking that it could only be Lu Caiwei, Chen Zhihe changed into his clothes and opened the door.

Seeing that Chen Zhihe was much better, Lu Caiwei nodded, and then walked straight into the room.

As she walked, she looked around the room.

Then, he sat down on the chair casually.

Seeing this posture, Chen Zhihe closed the door.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhihe asked.

Lu Caiwei said: "Come here to see you. How is the book?"

Chen Zhihe frowned, and said, "It's okay, there's one more story I haven't read."

Lu Caiwei hehe said: "How is it?"

Chen Zhihe didn't know how to evaluate it, so after thinking about it, he said, "It's quite... a bloody story, but life is more bloody than a story."

Lu Caiwei chuckled lightly and said, "Do you want to try my book?"

"Love in the Time of Cholera?" Chen Zhihe asked.

In fact, he has read this book, in his previous life.

How should I put it, when evaluating the protagonists of these two books, Chen Zhihe can only say that one can only be regarded as a young man who made mistakes, while the other is a shameless scumbag.

He used 25 notebooks to record 622 women who had a "long relationship" with him, and then told the women that I kept my innocence for you.

This operation is impossible for ordinary people, at least, life is not so bloody.

Like the title of the book, the love in it is somewhat morbid.

Lu Caiwei nodded.

Chen Zhihe curled his lips, shook his head and said, "Actually, I've read that book. It's a good book, but I don't like that kind of love."

Lu Caiwei smiled, and asked back: "Then what do you think love should be like?"

Chen Zhihe was asked this question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Without waiting for Chen Zhihe to answer, Lu Caiwei said: "I actually think that love does not need to have its worldly appearance. Whether you are together or not, whether you are loyal or not, the intermediate process can be omitted. It is originally a psychological state."

Chen Zhihe was startled, thinking about her words.

Is that right?

Chen Zhihe was not sure, but it did not prevent him from understanding Lu Caiwei's thoughts.

"Interesting point of view." Chen Zhihe commented.

Lu Caiwei did not respond to this topic again, and asked, "Were you sleeping at that time?"

Chen Zhihe said yes.

Lu Caiwei stood up and said, "Good afternoon, I hope I can pick it up."

After speaking, she left.

Chen Zhihe was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

It seems that she just came to see how she was doing.

He took a long breath and looked outside. It was the sound of rain.

Go to sleep!
This time Chen Zhihe slept much more peacefully.

……

The next day, it was still raining, but it was much less rainy.

After all, it was Qiongdao, even at this moment, the weather didn't seem much cooler at all.

Guessing that the storm was about to pass, the two bought two sets of raincoats with umbrellas, planning to just stroll around the city.

The idea was brought up by Lu Caiwei, but it wasn't that she really wanted to go.

Originally, she thought it would be nice to stay in a hotel, but she was used to staying anyway.

But yesterday Chen Zhihe didn't know what happened, so Lu Caiwei changed his mind.

There was a drizzle and a breeze, and the ground was full of branches and leaves blown off by the wind, but the two of them were full of interest in the rain.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and it is much empty.

Without a specific destination, the two just stopped and went, eating something on the street when they were hungry, and stopping to buy something to drink when they were thirsty.

Until... the sun came out.

The sunshine after the storm was exceptionally bright. The two took off their raincoats and looked at each other.

I can't tell you how I feel, but I'm very happy.

At this time, a rainbow suddenly hung in the sky, spanning the entire sky.

The two walked to an open place, put their hands on their foreheads to shield the sun from a distance.

The rainbow after the rain is indeed charming, and the two watched it for a long time.

Suddenly, Lu Caiwei asked: "What are you thinking?"

Chen Zhihe put down his hands, smiling brightly in the sunshine, "People are like rainbows, you will know when you meet them".

Lu Caiwei laughed and didn't speak.

The leaves covered the sunlight hitting her face, Chen Zhihe asked, "What about you, what are you thinking?"

Lu Caiwei paused for a while, and said in a slow tone: "Good things in the world are not strong, and rainbows are perishable, and glass is brittle."

Chen Zhihe laughed dumbly: "Well, I'm a little pessimistic."

Lu Caiwei chuckled: "Pessimistic romanticism."

The two started walking back.

The pavement was cleared and pedestrians came out.

In the alleys of the setting sun, two long silhouettes appeared.

……

In the evening, the two appeared on the balcony again.

The air after the rain is extraordinarily fresh and the stars are brighter.

"Let's go back tomorrow." Lu Caiwei said.

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "Okay, it's been a few days since I came out."

"Have you finished reading the book? Let's leave tomorrow morning." Lu Caiwei looked over with her eyes like stars.

Chen Zhihe was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant, nodded and said, "I'll take it to you later."

Lu Caiwei nodded, got up and left the balcony.

Back in the room, Chen Zhihe picked up the book that he hadn't finished reading, and muttered for a while, planning to send it to Lu Caiwei.

It was somewhat strange to ask him to return the book so late.

Without thinking too much, Chen Zhihe took the book and knocked on Lu Caiwei's door.

She didn't take the book.

Chen Zhihe had no choice but to walk in.

Looking at the room, her things are basically packed up, and there are no personal items.

"The book is here." Chen Zhihe said with a smile.

Lu Caiwei was wearing a black silk pajamas. Looking at Chen Zhihe, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Shall we talk tonight?"

Chen Zhihe froze for a moment, then looked at Lu Caiwei suspiciously.

He felt that Lu Caiwei was a little abnormal, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Caiwei quickly recovered her usual calm expression, and said with her usual expression: "Talk casually, you can do anything, because it's the flight at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight, I'm worried that I might miss the flight."

Everyone in Chen Zhihe is stupid, so don't they have to go out at 4 o'clock?
"So early?"

Lu Caiwei nodded and said, "It is said that there is a second storm coming back, so we have to leave quickly."

Chen Zhihe slapped his thigh and said, "Then I'll go and pack my things quickly, and I'll come find you later."

After speaking, he quickly left Lu Caiwei's room.
