Just had a fight with my girlfriend and got kicked out, feeling extremely uneasy. I'm temporarily staying with a buddy, bored out of my mind, and impulsively decided to recount that frustrating incident to all of you. It's quite a long story, proceed with caution!
The world is so vast, yet I still met you; the world is so small, yet I still lost you.
Hehe, let me start with a bit of sentimentality.
The incident happened last October, during the golden week for traveling.
The plot is so cliché, the process was quite shocking, but the highlight lies in its authenticity...
After graduation, I went straight to Xiamen, worked there for a couple of years, and started dating a new girlfriend.
I had a bit of savings, not corrupted into being a slave to housing, cars, or credit cards, and life was going pretty harmoniously and smoothly.
Of course, taking vacations was also an ordinary matter.
After being dragged by my girlfriend to visit清新装逼 (hipster) tourist spots like Lijiang, Fenghuang, and Tibet,
my girlfriend and I finally planned our trip to Jiuzhaigou for six months, which was scheduled during the National Day Golden Week.
Both my girlfriend and I are rather lazy and don't like trouble, plus we heard that the road conditions to Jiuzhaigou were dangerous.
In order to save effort and money, after flying from Xiamen to Chengdu, we joined a local tour group.
And thus, that low-probability event tragically fell upon me...
Looking back, it brings embarrassment and sorrow.
Three years after leaving Chengdu, I returned. Thinking about the four years spent in this city at university, remembering that unforgettable person who I've already lost contact with, I inexplicably felt heartache, knowing she was still in this city. I picked up my phone wanting to dial those familiar eleven digits, but seeing my current girlfriend sitting on the hotel bed, eating snacks, and laughing loudly at the show "If You Are The One," she innocently told me what made her laugh... Unwilling to destroy her happiness, I quietly put the phone away.
The next day, with simple travel gear packed, we arrived early at the tour bus. Other tourists gradually boarded the bus, looking to be around thirty to forty people, mostly single young men and women. Soon, the bus became noisy. A seven to eight-hour drive, mostly mountain roads, would surely be tough. Plus, my girlfriend was feeling carsick and didn't want to talk much, making me feel very bored and restless. But thinking about soon seeing the dreamlike Jiuzhaigou, the so-called paradise on earth, I was internally very excited... haha...
"Dear passengers, hello! I am your guide XXX, welcome..."
Hearing the voice coming from the microphone, which was as familiar as could be, I suddenly opened my eyes wide, recognizing the female guide leading this tour!
Her voice was sweet, her face angelic, her body devilish... I knew her well, and I was shocked, my heart pounding, I blushed slightly, and my breathing quickened. She, no one else, was my ex-girlfriend from college whom I had never completely let go of...
Skilled speech, professional smile, genuine warmth... All the girls on the bus paled in comparison to her image.
She, who majored in English, had become a tour guide. Once awkward, shy, and reserved, she had now mastered such eloquent language, smooth, meticulous, and passionate. Her image completely surpassed all the arrogant and slick little guides I had ever seen... Most importantly, she was my college girlfriend for three years, my first love.
After finishing her introduction, she began chatting casually with a few men at the front, appearing quite cheerful...
I suspected there was something wrong with my eyes, and suddenly wanted to call her to confirm. She hadn’t noticed me.
My phone was in my girlfriend’s hands, and after chatting halfway through on QQ, she fell asleep on top of me. My current girlfriend is hardworking, with an average appearance, but very likable.
Don’t panic everyone, it’s the first time the poster has posted here. Not knowing the rules, write a bit, post a bit. Below, continue.
Miss Tour Guide, my ex-girlfriend, took us through the Ni Gou Scenic Area, visiting the world's tallest travertine waterfall,
Zhariga Waterfall, then passing through Songpan Ancient City, arriving at the hotel booked for our group near Jiuzhaigou.
Indeed, it was a distant and peaceful sanctuary where you could hear the heartbeat of nature: flowers in spring, waterfalls in summer, red leaves in autumn, snow in winter... Of course, what we saw most was the bright and charming red leaves covering the mountains in October...
I thought that conflicting feelings could be relieved in this earthly paradise. I thought I could completely avoid her, but later...
In the evening, my ex-girlfriend began promoting and persuading the tourists along with the driver to buy tickets for the local folk song and dance evening party (after discount 200 yuan per person), or join the Tibetan-themed “Walk into Tibetan Family” bonfire roasted lamb evening for 150 yuan per person... Optional activities.
The tourists started to become restless.
Hey, miss, come over here, I have some questions for you! A man two rows ahead of me called her over like a boss.
Do you have any other questions? She quickly approached him with a smile, but she didn't notice me.
So, how much commission do you get?
Is all our money going straight into your pocket?
Why so greedy! What kind of lousy party, who would go...
A few people started chattering and challenging her, making the entire bus unhappy.
It's not like that, you misunderstood... She seemed at a loss, her voice trembling, her defense weak.
Seeing her so close to me, recalling all the past, and watching her struggle at this moment, I was momentarily confused, several times almost losing control but holding back, fearing it would seem too abrupt... Meanwhile, my girlfriend beside me also mumbled, following the unrest, saying, "Isn't it obvious? They make tons of money as tour guides!"
Do you even know anything!! I couldn't help shouting at my innocent girlfriend.
Being a guide, without sleeping with the driver, where does she get such confidence? F***, swindling, yet she looks so decent... The guy in front of me said something like that...
You f***ing say that again!! Finally, I exploded, standing up instantly, facing this man, hands on my waist, a fierce look on my face, ready to challenge him...(touching story)
