Papa Paladin

  When Zuo Yi and Gao Feng walked out of the Regent Hotel and were standing on the side of the road to hail a taxi, Guo Yao staggered and ran over.

She looked very embarrassed, with all the makeup on her face, obvious tear stains on her face, smudged eye shadow like a clown, disheveled hair carrying a bag, and a high-heeled shoe under her feet did not know where to go up.

  Guo Yao\'s expression was complex, with shame, anger and despair intertwined, distorting her otherwise pretty face.

   Gao Feng turned around and looked at her, his eyes were full of disappointment and pain.

  Zuo Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I\'m going to smoke a cigarette, you should have a good talk with her."

  No matter how strong Zuo Yi is, he can\'t help his good friends solve their emotional problems, let alone such a thing.

   Even a man can\'t bear it!

  Gao Feng nodded silently.

  Zuo Yi walked forward along the sidewalk for a certain distance, and then stood by the flower bed by the roadside. He took out a cigarette and a lighter from the space ring, and lit a cigarette for himself.

  Zuo Yi has no addiction to cigarettes and rarely smokes, but sometimes he would light one.

   After taking two puffs of cigarettes, Zuo Yi accidentally looked back at Gao Feng.

  With his ability, even from such a long distance, it is very easy to hear the conversation between the two.

  But Zuo Yi just watched from a distance, not intending to find out anything.

   After a few minutes, before Zuo Yi finished his cigarette, Gao Feng walked over alone.

  His eye circles are red.

  Zuo Yi silently lit a cigarette and handed it to him.

  As a friend, there is no need to talk or ask at all at this time, a cigarette is the best comfort for him.

"Thanks."

  Gao Feng took the cigarette and took a deep drag, swallowing it into his lungs before exhaling.

   "Cough cough cough!"

  He was choked, choked so heartbreakingly, choked tears flowed out!

  Zuo Yi glanced at him, and took the cigarette back from his hand, not wanting his friend to be choked to death by the cigarette.

   Gao Feng smiled wryly: "Yes, it\'s too much."

  Zuo Yi raised his head and took a puff of cigarette, and ignored him again.

   "Old left."

   After a while, Gao Feng asked, "Can you accompany me for a drink or two?"

  His voice was very hoarse.

"no problem."

  Zuo Yi replied without thinking: "You can drink as long as you want, and I will arrange the place."

  Twist out the cigarette in his hand and throw it into the trash can next to him. He reached out and stopped a passing taxi, and pulled Gao Feng into the car together: "Master, please go to Jingyuan Community."

  Gao Feng looked at Zuo Yi in surprise, but didn\'t ask.

  When the taxi arrived at the gate of Jingyuan Community, Zuo Yi said to the driver: "Master, please wait here for ten minutes, and you will pay the fee, thank you."

  He said to Gao Feng again: "Just wait for me in the car, I\'ll be back soon."

  Gao Feng couldn\'t help asking, "Where are you going?"

  Zuo Yi smiled and said: "My daughter is at my teacher\'s wife\'s house. I\'ll come back after I tell her."

   Gao Feng felt guilty: "Then I\'d better go back by myself."

   Now his mood has calmed down a lot.

"no."

  Zuo Yi said: "You have to wait for me, and I will accompany you if I agree to drink with you. My daughter can stay at the teacher\'s mother\'s house at night."

   After speaking, Zuo Yi opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to Liang Xuemei\'s home.

   When he arrived at the place and knocked on the door, it was Shang Yulin who opened the door.

  The time was just right, not past eleven o\'clock.

  Shang Yulin was surprised: "You are really punctual. I thought you weren\'t coming, so I was about to call you."

  She let Zuo Yi in, lowered her voice and said, "Bao\'er has already fallen asleep, why don\'t you let her sleep with me."

"it is good."

  Zuo Yi nodded and said, "I\'ll take a look at her and leave."

   If other people encountered such a situation, they would just call Shang Yulin and tell him, but Zuo Yi couldn\'t.

  Zuo Yi promised Bao\'er to pick her up before eleven o\'clock, of course he had to keep his word.

   Keeping promises is a very important virtue and belief. Even if it is a small matter, if you break your promise once, you will lose a lot of faith.

  The promise will only be fulfilled when someone else comes over, and then there will be no problem letting Bao\'er live here.

   At this time Liang Xuemei had already fallen asleep, Zuo Yi did not disturb his wife, and followed Shang Yulin to her boudoir quietly.

  Shang Yulin\'s room is very warmly decorated. Although she usually shows a strong side in the martial arts gym, in her own den, her true character can be judged by the decoration of the bedroom.

  The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and the temperature was adjusted just right. The little girl was sleeping on the bed, covered with a thin quilt.

  Tek was lying on the side of the bed, and when he saw Zuo Yi, he immediately wagged his tail obsequiously.

  Pippi squatted on the bay window, drowsy.

  Zuo Yi sat down on the edge of the bed, staring at his favorite little person with the help of the faint light of the desk lamp, full of tenderness.

  He lowered his head and kissed Bao\'er\'s forehead.

"Ok."

   Unexpectedly, the little girl was awakened by the kiss, and half-opened her eyes in a daze: "Daddy."

"Uh…"

  Zuo Yi said softly: "Baby, Dad still has some things to do, you can sleep here tonight, will you be with Sister Yulin?"

  Bo\'er nodded: "Yes."

"obedient."

  Zuo Yi couldn\'t help but bowed his head and kissed again, and said, "Go to sleep."

  Bo\'er closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

  It seems that I slept more peacefully.

  Zuo Yi continued to sit for a while, then got up and said to Shang Yulin who had been standing at the door: "Senior Sister, I\'m sorry."

  Shang Yulin angrily said, "Why are you being so polite to me!"

   After a pause, she said again: "My mother likes Bao\'er very much, and so do I. If you have something to do, go there. I will bring her to the Budokan tomorrow morning, so don\'t worry."

  Zuo Yi nodded: "Well, then I\'m leaving."

  He left Shang Yulin\'s house, and when he returned to the gate of the community, the taxi was still parked there.

  Zuo Yi opened the car door and went up, and said to the driver: "Master, go to Yanzi Lane."

Swallow Alley is a famous supper street in Hangzhou. It gathers delicious snacks from all over the world. They are rich in varieties, cheap and good in quality. When they were in college, Zuo Yi and Gao Feng would come here to have a meal from time to time. Come.

  Still in the most familiar barbecue restaurant, Zuo Yi ordered two or three hundred meat and vegetarian skewers in one go, and asked the waiter to bring three boxes of West Lake beer.

  Sit down on the seat, Zuo Yi picked up two bottles of beer and unscrewed the caps, and handed Gao Feng a bottle: "Come on!"

  Large bottles of West Lake Beer used to be their favorite. The taste is not bad and the price is very cheap. Zuo Yi is not short of money, but what he drinks is this familiar taste.

  Gao Feng took the beer and touched the bottle with Zuo Yi: "Do it!"

   A large bottle of beer was full, and both of them blew on the bottle, drinking it clean in one go!

"Cool!"

  Gao Feng put down the empty wine bottle, wiped the foam off his mouth, and said, "After drinking it, Lake beer is the best!"

  Zuo Yi smiled and said: "Now that I\'m back, we can come and drink often in the future."

  Gao Feng was silent.

   After a long time, he said: "Old Zuo, I broke up with Guo Yao."

  Zuo Yi nodded: "Yes."

   Such a woman is not separated, but still keeps the hat?

  Gao Feng swallowed, and continued: "I plan to resign tomorrow and go to Spring City."

   "Spring City?"

  Zuo Yi was surprised: "Why do you want to go there?"

  Gao Feng is not a native of Hangzhou, but Chuncheng is not his hometown either.

   "Zhao Lili is there."

  Gao Feng\'s answer stunned Zuo Yi: "Are you planning to chase Zhao Lili back?"

"No."

   Gao Feng shook his head: "I won\'t go to her, I just want to live in the same city as her."

  Zuo Yi was dumbfounded.

  Zuo Yi already understood that Gao Feng never really forgot his ex-girlfriend in his heart all along.

  Maybe he married Guo Yao, gave birth to a child and set up a family, time will wear away this hard-won relationship.

  However, Guo Yao betrayed him.

   Gao Feng smiled bitterly: "Old Zuo, do you think I\'m stupid?"

"yes."

  Zuo Yi gave an honest answer: "You are not so stupid, so I won\'t persuade you to drink."

  He opened two more bottles of beer.

  Someone outside the alley is doing a show, playing the guitar and singing sad songs.

   "An excellent person like me should have lived a brilliant life, but why after more than 20 years, he is still floating in the sea of ​​people."

   "A smart person like me has said goodbye to innocence a long time ago. Why did he still use a relationship to replace his scars?"

   "People like me who are lost, people like me who are looking, people like me who are doing nothing..."

   Gao Feng gulped down his beer, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.
