Chapter 78 Chapter 4 Absolutely Honest

With a cigarette in his mouth, Marty tossed the shaker in the air, and after a few rolls, he caught it and continued to shake the drink.The girls in front of the bar burst into applause, and Xiaoye also clapped. "You're out of school, Sister Marty." Xiaoye was overjoyed. "It's so easy," Marty said.She poured pineapple, orange, lemon juice and white curacao into a wide-mouth glass filled with crushed ice, then slowly poured half an ounce of dark rum, and finally pressed pineapple slices, Red cherries, Marty lightly floats a pinch of fresh mint leaves on top of the wine before serving the lobster.

Xiaoye closed her eyes and took a sip.This popular cocktail in Hawaii is called Mai-Tai, with complicated procedures and rich ingredients, it has the title of King of Cocktails.The cup made by Marty has a refreshing taste and a soft aftertaste. It is really a master. Xiaoye's eyes are full of smiles, and she can't help but take another sip. "Marty, you're going to be out of work for the rest of your life." "Yes, yes," Marty said, "no matter where you are in the future, I will burn a stick of incense for you sooner or later, thank you, master." "Bah bah," the girls in front of the bar protested repeatedly, "Xiaoye is not dead, what did you say?"

"I'll always die." Xiaoye didn't care, she said, "I don't want others to burn incense when I'm going to die, why? Do you want me to manifest?" It was very late at night, but the sad coffee shop was buzzing with excitement.Hai'an and several speeding partners have come. They sat together at the cashew nut-shaped table. They had been noisy for a while, and now they are talking in a low voice, even Marty and the others can't cut in. This is a secret meeting among a group of speeding partners.Outside the window is the bleak cold wind and slanting rain, and the store is full of fiery rock music from the 1970s. Marty holds a cup of Mocha coffee with double milk and goes to the store to look out the window.

The only thing I can't bear is the sad coffee shop.Marty stared blankly at the crystal glitter on the sea-blue shop sign. It was this sea-like blue light that dragged her from the grayness into a world of intense colors.Marty held the hot coffee cup close to his heart, feeling warm. With Xiaoye's help last night, Marty moved her personal belongings to Xiaoye's room.Her room will be released at the end of this month.After that, even the residence was gone.The visa to Madagascar, after several rounds of red tape, was finally completed. I will go abroad soon, and winter is just coming to an end.What a clean ending, and Marty has nothing but a new beginning in front of him.

The last thing to deal with in these two days was Marty's financial headache.After working for half a year, Marty has accumulated nearly 200,000 in cash, which is more than enough to go abroad. The shortcoming is that her support to her father has been interrupted.Mattie couldn't bear it, so she divided the money in half, sent half to her father, and kept the other half to herself. After deducting the round-trip ticket money, she found that she only had more than 50,000 Taiwan dollars in travel expenses.Marty remembered the last conversation with Dr. Chen, when she mentioned that she didn't have any travel plans, Dr. Chen's bewildered expression, Marty really hoped that Dr. Chen would understand how honest she was, she really had no plans , the only certainty is to go back when the money is spent and the penniless.

Or, simply don't go back.Who knows? Marty drank her coffee and walked back to the bar with her blue bone china mug. When she passed by the side of the small dance floor, someone grabbed her mug. Marty looked back. The gloved hand gripped Marty's bone china mug firmly. "Beautiful cup." Hai'an said.He sat at the cashew-nut-shaped table facing outwards, with his feet propped high on the chair.His aggressively dressed male companions also looked at Marty with smiles. "My cup." Marty let go, and let Heian take her bone china cup. "To coffee drinkers," Hein said, holding his cup to the light on the small dance floor, "the coffee cup is the container of the heart." He returned the cup to Marty, stood up and put his arms around Marty's shoulders. "Talk outside," he said.

Marty went outside with Haian.The drizzle continued, and the cold wind from Siberia was icy but soft, with the smell of early spring in the wind. "I'll give you a present." Hai'an said. "You've given me too much," Marty said, and she added in her mind: What you've given me, Hai An, I'm afraid I'll never be able to give back. Hai'an smiled, and took out a thick envelope from his pocket.Marty took it and opened it to see that it was a stack of hundred dollar bills, about ten thousand dollars. "Hai'an." Marty's heart felt warm. What she needed most at the moment was money, but such a generous gift of 10,000 US dollars was beyond her imagination.Marty instinctively wanted to decline, but as soon as she changed her mind, she said, "It's very practical, thank you, Hai'an."

"It's nothing, the most important thing I need is money." Seeing that Marty didn't refuse, Hai'an looked very happy. "This money can at least allow me to stay in Madagascar for another year. I don't know what to thank you for." Marty's eyes suddenly became moist. "Thanks to me, let's wander more happily." "Hian," Marty said, "I don't understand why Jill calls you heartless." "I am heartless." "Believe me, I've never seen a more generous person than you." "Benevolence is a kind of reflex, but it is the ability to reflect one's excess advantages on those who are weaker than oneself. I have the capital of generosity."

"Why do you say that? It seems that even you admit that you are ruthless." "My feelings, you have no way to understand." "You can try to tell me." "No need." Hai'an looked down at Marty.The corner of his mouth is familiar to Marty, that mocking smile, "I don't need and don't want other people's understanding, tolerance, or approval. You are the same, you have to get used to living with your own values." "Ok." "Let me tell you something, whether in Madagascar or anywhere, don't forget." "What's the matter?"

"You have to learn to be honest with yourself, absolutely honest." Hai'an said. "Be honest with yourself, absolutely honest," Marty added softly. "If being decadent in the world can be exchanged for being responsible to myself, then I would rather be responsible to myself." "If being decadent in the world can be exchanged for being responsible to myself, then I would rather be responsible to myself." "This is my gift to you." Marty raised his head and gave Haian a smile in return.The two of them walked back to Sad Cafe side by side.When pushing open the door, Hai'an suddenly stopped. "Do me a favor," he said, "when you see him, ask him for me if you can be honest with himself?"

"Who did you see?" "That photo you picked up from the sea, the man in the photo." Hai'an went into the sad coffee shop.Marty stood frozen in the doorway.She picked up the picture of the Madagascar wanderer from the tide and kept it in her purse ever since.Why did she do this, even she herself didn't know very well, how did Hai'an know about her picking up the photos? That person didn't even have a name or an address, how could he meet him? Learn to be honest with yourself, absolutely honest.She will see him.Marty knew it, she knew it when she picked up the photo from the sea.This trip to Madagascar, although the future is bleak, but wandering in the Xisa plain in the south of Madagascar, the person with a pair of extremely peaceful eyes has long been a mysterious landmark in Marty's heart.Why go to him?really do not know.To be honest with himself, Marty stands in the doorway of Sad Cafe, caught up in a serious soul-searching.Perhaps, attracted by his way of wandering. Madagascar in the dream, and the people who wander in it like the wind, the combination of the two, maybe, can bring some answers to Marty's chaotic life.Maybe.At least always try it out for yourself. The blue shop sign above the head is darkened, and the sad coffee shop is closed.Hai'an and his male companion, Xiaoye and her female companion all walked out of the store surrounded by crowds.Very lively.The moon rose to the middle of the sky, Marty raised her collar, and closed the store door with Xiaoye.
