Chapter 69

When I got back to the houseboat from work that day, I lay down on the sofa to catch my breath as soon as I walked in.Before he could catch his breath, the doorbell rang.One question, water and electricity bills are charged.What does it mean that the house leaks and it rains all night, this is it!
This one misses $270 and I'm left with $120!
For dinner, I made a cup of cereal and got by with a piece of bread.While eating bread, he scolded Geng Mochi, why did he live in such a luxurious boat house, how will he live in the future, there is not enough money for eating bread.

The next day, I turned off my phone.

On the third day, I found a part-time night job in a bar as a waiter.

A week passed quickly, and I actually survived.Every night when I went back to the houseboat, after counting the banknotes, sometimes I didn’t even have the strength to take a shower, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

One night, the phone rang suddenly, and it was from Geng Mochi. Wouldn't it be my life to call at this time?
I complained: "It's so late, what are you calling?"

"What's up, it's still daytime here."

"What's up?"

"It's okay, let's see if you are alive."

"..."

I don't know when Geng Mochi hung up the phone, I only know that when the alarm clock rang in the morning, I almost crawled out the door.When we got to the coffee shop, Jenny was already upset because I was more than half an hour late.Don't think that all Chinese can get extra attention.Here are the words she threw at me.

It's winter in a blink of an eye, and the nighttime temperature in Seattle is close to zero.I decided to go to Qi Shuli's home, it was his home, not mine.First, I want to call my parents to report their safety. They are very careful and know the number. I dare not call outside. Second, I want to get some winter clothes by the way. When I came out in a hurry, I brought a few autumn clothes .After entering the door, Julia happily greeted her, "Sir hasn't come back yet."

"Oh, no problem, I'll make a phone call." I said just make a phone call.

Qi Shuli obviously hasn't told his parents about our breakup, or he doesn't think we broke up at all, thinking that I'm just playing petty temper, and I will naturally return to him if I can't stand it.My mother talked a lot of nagging on the phone, and then said: "I recently found an old Chinese doctor, who is very famous, and I picked up some medicine for you, and it has been sent to you. Have you received..."

"Mom, what medicine should I take well?"

"It's fine, it's been two years or almost three years, and I haven't conceived yet. Don't worry about your parents, but Shuli is in his 40s, and he has no children under his knees. How can this work?" ? You are also in your early thirties, when will you have to wait until you don’t give birth again? It is very dangerous for an advanced mother to give birth..."

"ok, ok, I got it."

"It's good to know. Take the medicine on time when it arrives. I'll let Shuli supervise you."

Now this situation requires me to give birth to him?How can it be!

I hung up the phone and went upstairs to get my clothes.When I opened the closet, I was surprised. There were a lot of new clothes in it, and I didn't even take off the hang tags. They were all the best brands.Apparently he had prepared these clothes, and he expected that I would come back to get them.This makes me feel complicated. The more he behaves like this, the more I feel that I can't turn back. It's better for him to find a woman to start a family and live a life than to find me. I don't want to drag him down for the rest of his life.

"Do you like these clothes? They are all for you." A warm voice suddenly came from behind.

I froze.He always likes to suddenly appear behind others like this!
I turned my head to look at him, and he smiled at me, "I know you're coming to get your clothes, so I prepared them in advance."

"You worry too much."

"I am willing."

"Thank you, I don't have the opportunity to wear such luxurious clothes now." I took out a few old clothes, a few sweaters, and two shawls, and put them on the bed, ready to find something to pack.

Qi Shuli stopped in front of me, reeking of alcohol, he seemed to have just had a drink, he reached out and stroked my face, "Let's talk."

I took his hand away and walked around.He grabbed my arm, pulled me into his arms, and kissed me without saying a word.I struggled to push him away, "What are you doing, we are not that kind of relationship anymore!"

"Kao'er!..." His eyes were red, and he called out in a low voice, "Does it have to be like this? Haven't we had a good two years? Once he comes, you will change. Is it true that I have paid so much for so many years? Can't you exchange for your love?"

"Actually, I have never changed. Since I fell in love with him, I have been like this. There is no way. If love can be separated, I would have already done it. There is no way..."

I shook my head desperately, and tears welled up in my eyes in an instant.

"You are so stubborn!"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, just find a woman to have children, I don't want you to be ruined in my hands." As I said that, I picked up the clothes on the bed and was about to go out.

"Kao'er!" he called from behind.

I didn't look back and went straight downstairs.He stood on the stairs watching me go out, and suddenly growled: "I curse you, listen up, I'll deal with you when he's dead!"

One word pierced my heart.

I think I've really come to an end with this man.

Monica came back from Paris and invited Yingzhu and me to her apartment for a drink.As soon as I entered the door, Yingzhu wanted to pinch me again, because the last time she asked me to attend a party at the Rainier Club, I let her go.I fought with her from the door to the balcony, using both hands and feet. Since I met this girl, I have become more and more rude. Monica, on the other hand, prepared fruit salad in the kitchen without notice. She is different from us, a typical elegant lady.

We sat around on the wooden floor, eating fruit salad and drinking wine that Monica had brought back from France.They were shocked when they learned that I was working as a waiter in a coffee shop, especially Young Joo, who hugged me sympathetically and stroked my face, "Oh, poor boy, you got dumped so soon?"

"What are you talking about, it must be Cathy dumping him, okay?" Monica spoke for me most of the time.They all know that I live with a wealthy Chinese businessman, and have met Qi Shuli, and are very impressed by his gentlemanly demeanor.

"No, we broke up if we didn't think they got along." I said lightly.

"Then let's move here. It's very expensive to rent a house outside. Anyway, my boyfriend will come back after half a year after going to Pakistan." Monica said.Yingzhu repeatedly agreed, and said that she would also move here, and the three of them would live together.

"No, I have a place to live."

"Where do you live?" they asked in unison.

"Lake District."

"Yacht? Houseboat?" They asked in unison again.

I nodded timidly.

"You still have money to live in a houseboat?! Why do you want to cheat our sympathy?!" Yingzhu pretended to pinch me, "Damn girl, you are tired of living in a houseboat and serving coffee. My sympathy is so easy to deceive." Is it?"

Speaking Korean, the whole dominatrix.

But Monica still believed me. She suggested that I stop serving coffee and go to the restaurant to play the piano. Although I can’t make much money, it’s better than being a waiter. A friend of hers owns a French restaurant in Avery. The pier area next to Lue Bay is currently recruiting a live musician, and she asked me if I want to try it.Is there anything else to consider?The next day, I met her friend who opened a restaurant under the recommendation of Monica, and I played a piece of music for him on the spot.After all, I have also studied for several years, and then intensively trained for two months under the influence of the master Geng Mochi. In addition, for Monica's sake, the boss agreed to let me stay, and I was also paid by the hour.

There are many tourists at the pier next to Elliu Bay. The pier area refers to Pier 70 to Pier 50. On this 2000-meter-long coastal leisure road, there are restaurants and souvenir shops. You can overlook Elliu Bay and Parker Market. , even into a large promenade area.Opening a restaurant here, business is usually very good.Tourists in the wharf area are crowded with large and small restaurants, and there are many roadside stalls selling sweatshirts, street performers, homeless people, and cars coming and going on the highway. The expressway has three floors, and it is dazzling. , the entire pier is bustling, in sharp contrast to the quiet lake area where I live.

In the United States, as long as you have healthy limbs and are not afraid of hardship, good and bad can be mixed together.A week passed, and I managed it fairly well, without any trouble.In fact, the guests seldom listen to the piano seriously. They enjoy the leisurely atmosphere more, laughing and chatting with friends. For them, the piano is like a painting on the wall, just a decoration. No one will Notice a lone player in the corner.

Every day I would probably be in the restaurant for two to three hours, and I would take turns playing with another Austrian luthier.Although I don't make much money, it is no problem to maintain my basic life.In order to maintain a better state, I did not go to the bar to work part-time at night.

It was still raining, and I almost forgot what it was like to bask in the sun.Geng Mochi would occasionally call, and his days were peaceful.But I dare not tell him that I am a performer, I am afraid that he will kill me if he finds out, because what I play most is the LOVE series, and if I use his songs to perform for a living, he will tear me to pieces !

It was a weekend, and there were many more guests in the restaurant than usual. I was a little nervous, but the Austrian musician asked for leave and didn't show up, so I was left alone to support the scene.Two hours of non-stop playing, I have played all the pieces I can play, but the boss wants me to continue playing, saying that I will be paid more.I don't care whether he raises my salary or not, but I have reached the end of my tricky level, and I'm afraid I will show my feet if I continue to play, but in order to keep this job, I can only bite the bullet and continue playing.I chose a new piece that Geng Mochi taught me, and I only played it a few times. I was tired, nervous, and I was not familiar with the piece, so I quickly messed up. I didn’t know what I was playing at the end. The booing began.

Halfway through the playing, someone told me to go down, and I was so nervous that I was about to cry.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out from behind me and lifted me up from the piano bench, and the audience suddenly screamed.I was pushed aside by those big hands, still in shock, the guy sat on the piano bench by himself, played like no one else was there, and started playing the piece that I played messily just now.

Master, just one pass, the audience immediately quieted down.

Beautiful things can always resonate. I have played the piano here for so many days, and I have never been so quiet. It is not that they don't care about the melodious sound of the piano, but that I have never played melodious at all.

After playing a song, there was applause.

Many people even stood up and applauded.So is the boss.

I was still in a daze, but Geng Mochi stood up gracefully, then angrily pulled me up and dragged me out of the store, dragged me all the way to the street outside the store door, I turned around and wanted to go in again, "Don't pull me, Today’s money has not been settled yet!”

Geng Mochi was furious, "How dare you ask someone for money if you play like this? No one will listen to the money! I'm so mad. I taught you how to play the piano so that you can come here to perform? How dare you play like this?" Come out to perform, it doesn’t matter if you lose your own face, it’s okay to lose my face! How dare you play my music? Is my music played in such a mess? Concert halls and theaters play my music The place!……"

He cursed all the way, and I didn't even have a chance to fight back.When he walked to the entrance of the underground street, his anger was still there, and he grabbed my ear and yelled: "If you dare to tell people that you are my student, I will kill you! Fortunately, I came back in time, and it will be later, I, Geng Mochi I Your famous name has been ruined by you! I am so mad! I am so mad!"

He scolded and stomped his feet.

I looked at him and suddenly became fascinated for no reason, he looks so handsome even when he loses his temper!During the days when he returned to Japan, I missed him for a moment. I lived in his houseboat, slept on his bed, facing the lighted harbor, and often had sleepless nights.At this moment, the man I had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared in front of me. I had mixed feelings and was so excited that I was about to faint.Even though he was scolding me, I couldn't listen to a word. I watched his mouth open and close, as if he was speaking the most touching words of love in the world.

I still miss it so much!I jumped on him recklessly, jumped on him and hooked his neck, and pressed my lips emotionally. He didn't expect me to do this, and I threw him back a few steps.I wrapped around him like a snake, sucking his taste and breath greedily, as if the whole world was empty, only me and him were left, at this moment I would really like to become a statue with him, under the sky of Seattle Forever exhibit our love.

Romantic Seattle is a place where love is exhibited!
The vicious crab resisted at first, but soon began to kiss me back, with one arm around my shoulder and the other on the back of my head, lips and tongue intertwined, forgetting about it.He tried his best to let me get closer to him, feel his heartbeat, feel his kiss, his breath is overwhelming, love is so bewitching!I don't know how long we kissed. When we let go, my face was full of tears, sobbing and beating his chest and cursing: "You bastard, you are really not a thing, you left me here alone, What if I don't perform as a performer? I will starve to death, and you can only collect my body when you come back!"

"Didn't I tell you not to be angry with him?"

"Don't mention him!"

"I hate you the most, you are so mindless!"

"When did I ever have a brain, I have been dizzy since I met you."

He stopped talking, looked at me and shook his head, "Are you short of money? You have fallen to this point..." His voice softened a lot, he reached into his pocket and took out a wallet, and took out a wad of dollars, "Take it Come on, don't embarrass me here."

People all over the street looked at me.

My face turned red. What is this place? Yesile Street, the entrance to the underground city. It used to be the opium dens, casinos in Seattle, and of course prostitutes.A well-dressed man gave dollars to a down-and-out woman in the street, and people thought we were doing some shady business.I don't know if Geng Mochi really didn't know, or if he was deliberately embarrassing me, this time it was my turn to get angry, and I shouted at the top of my voice, "Geng Mochi!..."

We had dinner at the Athenian seafood restaurant down the street from Lake Union, where Tom Hanks dined in the movie.Geng Mochi kept staring at me while I was eating.

"Have you not eaten for a few days?" He looked at my hungry ghost face, his eyes hard to hide the pain in his eyes.
