Days after Breaking up with My Ex

As he walked out of the bakery, a cold air suddenly came over him.

I had a cold war and looked out at the world. The rain was still lingering. It wasn't heavy, but it was very sticky. If I didn't go back with an umbrella, I wouldn't get drenched or get wet.

We didn't bring umbrellas. For a moment, no one had the courage to get into the rain, and the rest of us were standing under the eaves together.

I thought about it and said, "I remember there are two umbrellas in the restaurant."

Hu Zi had one in his hand, and he said, "Shi Yuan took one."

Then Hu Zi was the only one left with the umbrella. Hu Zi reached out his hand and smiled, "I don't need it anyway. Who's going to use it?"

Du Ling took the umbrella, then handed it to Old Gao and said, "Brother gaoyuan, you are far from home. You can play."

Old Gao didn't answer. He smiled and replied, "I don't need it. The rain won't hurt. You can fight."

The rest of us, Lin Feng and Hu Zi, lived in front of each other, Ding Ge and Lin Ya Tang Manya, and Du Ling insisted on giving it to Tang Manya, but he insisted on not.

Ding Ge joked, "How long are you going to give up an umbrella?"

"Yes." Hu Zi handed the car keys to Old Gao and said, "Old Gao, you can drive back." Then he said to us, "Use the umbrella."

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back. Let's just walk back. Let's hurry. It's cold. Don't get cold." Hu Zi rubbed his arm.

So, we all started to walk into the rain.

Old Gao drove back. The rest of me, Ding Ge, Lin Ya, Tang Manya, Du Ling, and I headed back to the neighborhood. Du Ling handed the umbrella to Du Ling and said, "I'll give it to you."

"I don't need it. Old Gao said you should play. You should play." Ding Ge grabbed my arm with one hand and smiled, "Let's go for a romantic stroll."

Walking in the rain? I turned to look at Ding Ge. Can your thin body stand it?

Du Ling handed the umbrella to Lin Ya again, but before she could say anything, Lin Ya said, "You can play with Manya."

Du Ling obviously understood Lin Ya's temper and didn't say anything when she knew she couldn't persuade him. She and Tang Manya held an umbrella together, Lin Ya walked side by side with them, and Ding Ge and I walked behind, slightly distancing themselves from the people in front of them.

The tiny raindrops fell on his body and face, unhurried and unhurried, like a piano master playing a piece of music with ease, while the ground, flowers, lights, buildings and even us were all its keys, gently pressed by it.

On this autumn night, the whole world became extremely quiet.

There were only a few of us on the road. Occasionally, a car passed by and was soon covered by a great silence.

The beaded rain in front of them blurred the world, and the lights in the past were flickering and struggling like candlelight that was about to burn out.

It was such a lonely night that I couldn't help but think of the first year after I broke up with Ding Ge.

It was a memory that felt bad when I thought about it. Everything I saw in the sadness was filled with depression. A rain, a road, a few clouds, a few leaves, a sign, a traffic light, many things could make me fall into loneliness in an instant.

It was the loneliest time of my life, especially on countless nights when loneliness was always with me.

And now, I'm finally not alone anymore. I see Ding Ge every day. Every day, there are many friends around me, running a small restaurant. It's really good.

Ding Ge was wrapped up. I looked at her and asked, "Is it cold?"

"A little." Ding Ge crossed his arms around his chest, his lips quivering slightly.

But I was only wearing a shirt. I said to her, "Why don't I give you the shirt?"

Ding Ge was only wearing a black and white sweater. She glared at me and said, "No, just give me your down jacket in the winter."

She tried to run against me on purpose, and I couldn't help but laugh. She just said that because she didn't want me to freeze.

Anyway, it was only a short walk home and it was warm. I held her hand. Ding Ge's hand was a little cold. She didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and let me hold her hand. They walked side by side.

"Romantic?" I asked Ding Ge.

Dinger looked at me, smiled sheepishly, and shook her head.

I also nodded. There was no romance in my mind. The cool air, the raindrops on my clothes and body made my body feel cold. I got goosebumps. I felt more cold than romantic.

The two of us looked at each other and smiled.

"It feels like a dream." At this moment, Ding Ge said with emotion.

I nodded with the same feeling. It was really like a dream, but the temperature in my hand was so familiar and real. I really held Ding Ge's hand and walked with her in the rain. How could it be a dream?

"By the way, Ding Ge," I asked, "When are you going to take your wedding photos?"

Ding Ge's eyes sparkled with a smile and asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

I was really in a hurry. I wanted the house to be renovated immediately, and I wanted to have a wedding with Ding Ge immediately. I smiled and said calmly, "I was thinking about you. When it gets cold, it will be you."

Ding Ge glanced at me, quietly stuck out his tongue and said, "If it's cold, it's cold."

"Let's go to the beach and take a picture then, shall we?"

"Why go to the beach?" Ding Ge asked doubtfully.

"Don't you like going to the beach?" I remember that Ding Ge had mentioned his expectations of going to the beach to take wedding photos.

However, Ding Ge was not very happy. She smiled faintly and said, "No, we can just take photos in Pucheng. Why do we have to run so far?"

I frowned and understood why Ding Ge didn't want to go to the beach to take photos. I asked, "Are you afraid of spending money?"

"No." Ding Ge's tone was obviously vague.

A sad feeling welled up in my heart. I said to Ding Ge, "Ding Ge, you don't have to save so much money. Although I don't have a lot of savings, I still have some. Besides, the restaurant business is still good now. We don't have to live so hard."

In the past, Ding Ge had lived a hard life with me. I really didn't want Ding Ge to be so thrifty anymore.

Ding Ge seemed to sense my emotions. She turned her head and looked at me. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. She shook my arm and smiled, "Okay, listen to you. Let's go to the beach. Okay?"

I was relieved.

I can't make dinger live a good life right now, but I'll do my best, and I believe we'll get better and better.

When I got home, Ding Ge didn't come running to our house. I took a glass of hot water and decided to go to bed after drinking it.

Du ling sat in the living room with a basin to soak her feet. She asked me, "Brother xingyun, can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"When's Brother tiger's birthday?" Du Ling asked.

I guess Du Ling wanted to celebrate Hu Zi's birthday. I thought about it and replied, "What's his birthday? I can't quite remember. Why are you asking this?"

"Brother tiger has been so kind to me. He didn't scold me about the lack of money this time. I feel bad about it. I just wanted to ask him about his birthday and buy him a birthday present later."

"That's not fair. The restaurant was opened by Hu Zi and me, senior three. We didn't quarrel, did we?" I made a joke with du ling.

"When is your birthday?"

"You don't have to buy any gifts." I sat on the sofa and said to Du Ling, "I've known Hu Zi since elementary school. Hu Zi hasn't had a birthday since then, and I've forgotten when he was born. We really don't blame you for that. Don't think too much. Wash your feet and go to bed early."

I was also a little tired and didn't talk to Du Ling much. Du ling nodded and looked thoughtful.

I always have some hidden worries in my heart. I hope not.

When it comes to birthdays, I can't help but think of Ding Ge's birthday. Her birthday is in autumn. This month, I have missed two years of her birthday. What should I do to make up for those two years this year?

Last year, Ding Ge and Lin Ya gave me a camera. What should I give Ding Ge?

...

The rain did not stop that night, and it seemed to be raining even more at night. I had already changed from sleeping late and getting up late to sleeping early and getting up early. When I woke up that day, the sky was still gray, and the rain was falling all over the glass.

It was really a typical autumn rain. The autumn rain was lingering, lingering, like a difficult lover.

I heard voices in the living room in the bedroom. Du Ling should be up already. Who is she talking to?

I walked out the door and it was Old Gao.

"Why are you here?"

"It's so big. I'll drive you back to the hotel." Old Gao replied.

I nodded, and there was no umbrella at home. Fortunately, Old Gao was thoughtful, or else he would have been drenched.

It was a little cold, so I went back to my room and put on some clothes. I had breakfast with old Du Ling and his senior three, and then they went back to the restaurant.

Business must be discounted in this weather. Old Tiger and I sat together and talked.

I asked Hu Zi and Old Gao, "How are Shi Yuan's two disciples?"

Old Gao said, "No one will be lazy when they first come here. What can we see now?"

"Damn, how about cooking? You guys didn't check it out, did you?"

Hu Zi chewed on melon seeds and said, "It's good to cook. I looked at it in the back kitchen yesterday. Both of them graduated from culinary school, and both of them stayed in restaurants. Cooking is nothing."

That's good, I added, "Shi yuan has a wide network."

He called for a chef, and the next day, two came immediately.

"That's right. I've been in this business for more than ten years anyway. Xiao ming and Huang both worked under Shi Yuan. Huang is out of town. Shi Yuan called. Xiao ming is just resting at home." Hu Zi said.

I hope these are two reliable chefs. I really don't want any more trouble in the restaurant.

Hu Zi glanced at Old Gao and me again and said, "I have something to tell you two."
