Li Tang pushed two large suitcases out of the airport pick-up gate, stretched his neck and searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "I'm here, where are you?"
"You're here. I'm on my way. We're almost there, fifteen minutes at most!"
"Okay, just be careful and don't be in a hurry."
He hung up the phone and walked out of the airport lobby.
The weather is nice today, with crisp autumn air and rare blue sky and white clouds in the sky. It's just that the temperature here is a bit low. As soon as he went out, a gust of wind blew through him, and a chill filled his body. He was excited, leaned over to open the suitcase, pulled out a coat from inside and put it on.
Shanghai is experiencing an autumn tiger this year. The highest temperature in the past few days has been above 30 degrees, which is at least ten degrees different from the temperature here in the capital.
I found a corner sheltered from the wind, lit a cigarette, and watched the uninterrupted traffic flow on the road facing the terminal exit. Taxis and private cars of all kinds came and left, and a few buses stopped from time to time.
After finishing a cigarette, I waited for about seven or eight minutes before I saw a red Toyota Corolla parked crookedly on the side of the road. Li Binbin stuck his head out of the car window and shouted to him: "Li Tang, it's over here!"
Li Tang pushed the suitcase and walked over. Li Binbin opened the trunk lid in the car and hurriedly got out of the car, still complaining: "I don't know where they found the photographer. It’s so unreliable, a set of promotional photos took me a long time..."
When she saw Li Tang's two huge suitcases, she couldn't help but open her mouth: "Did you move your whole family here?"
"Sister, it will take three months! From autumn to winter, I still need to bring more clothes."
Li Binbin looked at him up and down as if he didn't know him, and hummed: "Why haven't I seen you so particular before?"
The original person is indeed not very particular and spends money lavishly.
"I'm not prepared for anything unexpected!" Li Tang could only say.
The trunk of the Toyota Corolla is not big, and there are a lot of things stuffed in it, including an unopened box of mineral water and a plastic box for miscellaneous items, which can barely accommodate only one suitcase.
"There's another one for the back seat."
"Hey, wait a minute. I'll find something to cushion you on. Don't scratch the cushion."
Li Binbin leaned over and got into the trunk, and magically found a bath towel from the plastic box. He could tell which hotel it was from at a glance.
My ex-girlfriend really knows how to live her life as always.
She carefully laid the bath towel on the back seat before letting Li Tang move the suitcase in.
"I just saw that your skills were terrible when you parked the car. How about I drive?" Li Tang said, closing the rear door.
"No, I have to drive my car myself." The ex-girlfriend was determined and got into the driver's seat directly.
Li Tang walked around to the passenger seat and got into the car. He looked at the interior of the car. It was quite new and the decoration was especially for girls.
"How much did you spend on this car in total?"
"More than 240,000, less than 250,000."
Li Tang was stunned when he heard the price and said, "Why do you have so much money to buy a car? You might as well buy a house."
Domestic car prices are very expensive these days. A domestic Santana 2000 sells for over 200,000 yuan, and an imported Toyota Camry 2.2 sells for as high as 400,000 yuan.
"You must be sick, I have a house, why would I buy a house?" Li Binbin glanced at him with an incomprehensible look.
That's right, cars are expensive these days, and they are also a status symbol. For someone like my ex-girlfriend who comes from a small county town, she is very high-spirited and eager to be recognized. It is reasonable to have money to buy a car.
Li Tang remained silent, but after taking a look, he found that this new car actually had a manual transmission, and couldn't help but asked, "How can I buy a manual transmission?"
"The automatic one is more than 30,000 yuan more expensive."
"You bought a car worth more than 200,000 yuan, and you still care about this 30,000 yuan?"
"Of course, it's the same as my salary for one movie."
Most of the roles she plays now are supporting roles, and the salary for one movie is only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan at most. To make money, she has to rely on filming commercials and music videos.
As she drove on the road, she retorted: "What's so good about an automatic transmission? It's just a fool's car when you step on the accelerator and brake. It consumes a lot of fuel. It's more fun to drive with a manual transmission. Do you understand?"
Li Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this. He was a typical person who wanted to save face but not dignity. He was so stubborn that he was so stubborn.
After about half an hour's drive, we arrived at a newly built community on the edge of the East Third Ring Road.
His ex-girlfriend bought a house here last year, and Li Tang came here for the first time today.
"Which floor are you buying here?"
The entire community is a small high-rise with eleven floors.
Why the eleventh floor?
Because buildings on the twelfth floor and above must be equipped with two elevators, the shared area will inevitably be larger and the cost will be higher.
"The eleventh floor."
Stand tall and see far.
The ex-girlfriend's personality is indeed like this.
Going up to the eleventh floor, there are three apartments on one staircase. The ex-girlfriend bought a small apartment of less than 100 square meters, sandwiched between two large apartments.
"come in!"
My ex-girlfriend took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet.
Not new, someone has worn it.
Li Tang was thoughtful.
When Li Binbin saw this, he punched him and scolded him with a smile: "What are you guessing? This was worn by my dad when he came here during the Chinese New Year. How silly!"
"It's okay even if it's not what your dad is wearing. It's been a long time since we broke up. It's normal for you to want to find a man." Li Tang changed his shoes and pretended to be casual.
"Neuropathy!"
Li Binbin cursed and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He helped push the suitcase in, not forgetting to say: "Wash your hands first!"
Li Tang washed his hands and came out of the bathroom, and took a look around the house. It was said to be more than ninety square meters, but it looked much smaller than his old apartment, and the floor height was not high.
"Your house is not big!"
"The practical area is probably in the early seventies. During the renovation, I bought 60 square meters of wooden floors. Excluding the tiled kitchen, bathroom and balcony, there was only one square meter left." Li Binbin said.
It can be seen that she is very satisfied with her little nest. Although it is a small apartment and is not accessible from the north to the south, all the rooms face south and have plenty of sunshine.
The whole house was clean and tidy, not a single hair could be found on the floor.
There is a six-foot bed in the master bedroom, covered with pink sheets, and a huge photo hangs on the wall above the bed.
In the photo, the ex-girlfriend was wearing a floral skirt and squatting among the flowers, smiling brightly. At that time, she still had some baby fat on her face, and her exposed arms were also chubby, far less shriveled than they are now.
He suddenly remembered that this photo was taken by him. In my junior year of college that year, the tulips were in full bloom at Prince Bay Park in Hangzhou.
For a moment, the memories of the past were brought back. The memories of the past are always beautiful, but unfortunately things and people have changed, and nothing can go back.
He couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
When he turned around, he saw his ex-girlfriend standing behind him, already wearing a cool pajamas.
He swallowed subconsciously and stuttered: "Let's go, it's silent when we walk, it scared me!"
The ex-girlfriend didn't say anything, her eyes moved, and she showed a charming smile...
Half an hour later, Li Tang lay on his back on the bed, his eyes dull, his brain empty, and his once violently beating heart became quiet and peaceful.
At this time, the rosy-cheeked ex-girlfriend came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. While wiping her wet hair with a dry towel, she asked, "Have you applied for the Hong Kong and Macau permit I told you about last time?"
"What do you think we are now?" Li Tang asked as if he hadn't heard.
"what?"
Li Binbin hesitated and looked at him in confusion.
"I mean are we still like this okay?"
"cut!"
Li Binbin snorted, continued to wipe his hair, and curled his lips: "What do you think? Anyway, I think it's pretty good."
"..."
The moment just now was wonderful for Li Tang, and it also brought back many beautiful memories of his previous life, which made him have the idea of getting back together, but his ex-girlfriend's attitude made him unable to speak.
"Hey, I'm asking you, have you obtained the Hong Kong and Macau Pass?"
well--
Li Tang finally sighed secretly and said feebly: "It's done!"
Some things are destined to be irreversible, so forget it.
