On the third day of New Year's Day, Jiangcheng International Airport, the end of the holiday return peak. Su Qingzhi walked out of the airport with her luggage, she looked around and refused the soliciting drivers who surrounded her.

She picked up her mobile phone and dialed the phone, saying, "Brother Yao, where are you?"

"Two minutes, right away!"

The phone hung up, and she stood on the side of the road waiting. Suddenly, a moonlight-blue Cayenne came to a steady stop in front of her. Just as she was still wondering if the car in front of her looked familiar, the windows had been lowered.

"Su Xiaoniu!"

Jian Yao's voice came from the car, Su Qingzhi was stunned, she put her hand on the car window, and stuck her head into the car to look.

"Brother Yao, your car?"

"I just mentioned it in the morning, isn't this color much cooler than black?"

"New car??? what about the car at home?"

My dad said it would be troublesome to find a logistics company to ship it, so he simply asked me to pick up a new one. ”

Su Qingzhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, the happiness of rich people is really something that ordinary people can't understand.

Jian Yao stepped out of the car and helped her put her luggage into the back compartment. The traffic police who maintained order came up to drive them away, Jian Yao waved coolly, sat back in the driver's seat and stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from the airport.

"Su Xiaoniu, why are you alone, Senior Zhong?" Jian Yao asked

"Originally, I was going to go back together, but the two-way ticket I bought at the time, he checked it last night, and the ticket for the same flight as me was gone, so I had to go back separately. She was sending someone a WeChat message and casually responded.

"Tsk... It's so good to think about it, my little cutie has someone who loves her again. Jian Yao sighed for a while, the car stopped in the middle of the road because of the red light, she tapped the steering wheel with her fingers, and suddenly turned her head and said seriously: "Su Xiaoniu, if this guy dares to treat you badly in the future, you must tell me immediately, I will copy the guy and cut him!"

Su Qingzhi was slightly stunned, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "With my brother Yao supporting me, who dares to treat me badly?"

"That's a must! I have to let people know that our mother's family is not good at stubble. ”

"Hahahaha"

The car drove into the city, and the speed was much slower. In some sections, two traffic lights were set up within a distance of 500 meters.

Jian Yao has such a violent temper, waiting for a traffic light to scold, and if someone overtakes him, he must overtake him. Sometimes, Su Qingzhi was really worried about her driving, and she was really afraid that something would happen one day.

It took a full two hours to drive from the airport to the city center. It's only a two-hour drive across the surrounding cities, so it's no wonder that Jian Yao scolded along the way.

The car slowly drove into the underground parking room of the mall, and it took ten minutes to find a parking space. The two held hands and took the elevator up to the top floor of the mall to find food.

Jian Yao didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, so in order to pick up the plane, he casually ate a sandwich at noon, and now he is so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back.

Japanese, Korean, Western, Italian, French... All of these were passed by Jian Yao. In the end, the choice of Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant also made Su Qingzhi a little surprised.

"Brother Yao, when did you start eating so light? Didn't you always eat spicy hot pot before?"

"Don't mention it, three small barbecues a day, a spicy hot pot is cool for a while, and the old lady has hemorrhoids from stepping on a horse. ”

“......”

"Hahahaha

Because of Jian Yao's words, Su Qingzhi couldn't stop laughing, she covered her stomach and laughed with tears. Jian Yao glanced at her, pursed her mouth, and picked up the menu by herself to look at it.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her stomach was already throbbing. I can't laugh anymore, or I'm afraid I'll laugh away.

After ordering, the waiter serves the food. Jian Yao's whole person was stupid, and each plate was covered with a thin layer of beef. For a big appetite like hers, a dish is the amount of a mouthful.

"Southerners just have a small appetite, this thing is a bite of a plate!"

As he spoke, Jian Yao was about to pour the beef into the pot. The waiter stepped forward to stop her and told her that she should wait for the bottom of the pot to boil first, add some celery cubes to the bowl, scoop a spoonful of soup, and drink the soup first. Listening to the waiter's prompts, the two drank a bowl of soup first, and their whole bodies instantly warmed.

"Don't tell me, this soup is so delicious, I'm going to have another bowl. ”

Jian Yao had two bowls of soup in a row, extremely satisfied. After adding dishes twice in a row to this meal, Jian Yao touched her bulging stomach with satisfaction, and burped by the way, which was to tell everyone that she was full.

Su Qingzhi smiled helplessly, I really wanted to know what kind of man he would be in the future, who could conquer the woman in front of him.

When paying the bill, Su Qingzhi looked at the printed receipt, and the whole person was stupid. Two girls ate more than 600 yuan... The four girls in front of them paid the bill, and they only ate less than 500 yuan. Such a comparison is really exaggerated.

On the way home to send her, Jian Yao put away her original unobtrusive appearance and chatted with her about the studio. As long as she talks about business, she will always frown unconsciously, and from time to time she will bite the nail of her right thumb.

"By the way, Su Xiaoniu, I have an outside shoot tomorrow, so I won't accompany you to dinner. Jian Yao had already driven the car into Su Qingzhi's community.

"Oh, good. ”

"I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow and go to the studio to have a look. ”

“OK... By the way, Brother Yao, where are you staying at night?"

"I booked a room in King's Landing for a month. It just so happened that during this time, I was also looking for a house to facilitate my work. ”

“......” Su Qingzhi's face instantly darkened after hearing this, and she roared angrily: "Jian Yao, you are simply a loser!"

King's Landing is a five-star luxury hotel located on the 80th floor of the financial center of the CBD, and the average room rate in the off-season is not less than 1,001 nights.

Seeing her jumping like thunder in the car, Jian Yao almost lost the steering wheel, and the car shook from side to side before she reluctantly stopped at the door of Su Qingzhi's house.

"Su Xiaoniu, why are you still in a hurry, do you know why the two of you almost burped just now??"

"King's Landing a month's room money, tens of thousands!! You give it to me! Come to live in my house, I will guarantee you to enjoy seven-star treatment. ”

"I don't want to be a bright light bulb, I used to say that I could live in your house for nothing, but now it's different. ”

"......" Hearing Jian Yao's explanation, she couldn't refute it, she couldn't help scratching her forehead, and said with a long sigh: "You are a loser!"

Jian Yao sat in the car and beckoned, and the car started slowly. Su Qingzhi stood in place, watching the car disappear into the street before turning around and entering the house.

She cleaned up, took a comfortable hot shower, and slumped lazily on the rattan chair on the balcony of the room. The drops of water were still dripping from the tips of her hair, and she wiped them with a towel over her shoulder.

Jiangcheng is located in the south, unlike the winter in the north. Although it doesn't snow all year round, it's interesting to feel the changes of the seasons in one day.

After a day of running, she was also tired. I dried my hair, went to bed, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the tour guide came from downstairs. Su Qingzhi pulled the quilt over her head and squirmed in the quilt. It wasn't until the explanation was getting farther and farther away that she reached out from the quilt and looked at the time on her phone.

She got up and opened the curtains, and the sunlight shone into every corner of the room. Pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows, stood on the balcony, and moved his body carefully.

"The weather is so nice!" she squinted and took a deep breath, very comfortable.

It's okay to be idle, she tossed around at home all morning. I dried my clothes, quilts, and shoes, and I couldn't find a single empty space in the yard.

I finally cleaned up, and my stomach was already hungry. The family does not live in a permanent relationship, and can only find a few cans of Coke, and there is nothing else to eat.

Su Qingzhi rummaged through the house, made a list of the things that were missing in daily life, and pasted them on the refrigerator. If you count carefully, there are quite a few things to buy.

She went back to her room to change her clothes, put on the new shoes she bought with Jian Yao that day, put away the list and went out. I got on the bus, found a single seat, put on headphones, and quietly looked out the window.

Buses are running around the city, and she especially enjoys the feeling. The sun is big outside the window, and Jay Chou's "Sunny Day" is playing in the headphones, which is also appropriate.

Suddenly, the music in the headphones is interrupted by a ringtone. The caller ID was "Zhong Yuheng", Su Qingzhi grinned and connected the phone.

"Little short legs, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to go to the mall, what about you? What time will the plane come back?"

"I'm ready to board the plane, I should be in time to have dinner with you. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you to have dinner. Otherwise, I'll pick you up, right?"

"Don't run around, I'll call you when I get there. ”

"Well..."

"What are you doing at the mall?"

"Shopping, stopping by for lunch, I want to eat sushi. ”

"Snack goods..."

Su Qingzhi stuck out her tongue, but heard the radio voice on the other end of the phone, and said softly, "You're going to board the plane, right?"

"Hmm..."Zhong Yuheng crossed Erlang's legs and looked up at the electronic display.

"Then I won't tell you, I'm going to get out of the car. ”

"Okay, stay safe, and wait for me to come back and have dinner with you. ”

Su Qingzhi hurriedly said "um", and after hanging up the phone, he grabbed his backpack and got out of the car. She stood there and let out a long breath, almost sitting up.

As soon as she entered the mall, she heard someone behind her shouting her name. Just wondering who it was, the girl behind her ran over in three or two steps.

"It's really you! Su Qingzhi, long time no see!"

She frowned and looked at it. The girl in front of her was wearing a high ponytail and a light makeup, which was generous. After a long time, she slowly spoke: "Squad leader?"

"It's me!" the excitement on Wang Yan's face was overflowing, and she looked really happy.

"Squad leader, why are you here?"

"Didn't you read the message in the group?"

“.......”

Looking at Wang Yan's very sincere eyes, Su Qingzhi was a little embarrassed. She coughed to hide her embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I've been a little busy lately, I went to Beijing two days ago, and I only came back yesterday, and I haven't had time to go to the group to see it." ”

"I see! But that's okay, I met it today. Wang Yan didn't have the slightest doubt about her explanation, she was really a very simple girl, and she was the same as when she was in high school, she hadn't changed at all.

"Hasn't the high school group talked for years? Why is it suddenly lively again?"

"That's right, we've been thinking about graduating for a few years, and we wanted to get together, so we discussed it. ”

"So, you're getting together this New Year's Day, aren't you?"

"It's today, it's on the eighth floor of the KTV, so it's a coincidence that you're here, and other students must be very happy if they know that you're here. ”

As she spoke, Wang Yan took her hand, regardless of whether she wanted to or not.

"That's... Squad leader, I'm not going! Have fun, we'll make an appointment next time. ”

"No, I finally met once, and I don't know how many years it will be in the next time. ”

"But..."

"Don't do it, let's go!"

couldn't screw Wang Yan, Su Qingzhi had no choice but to let her pull herself into the elevator. Watching the elevator rise layer by layer, her face became more and more depressed. It's so coincidental, you can't hide.

Wang Yan held her all the way, as if she was worried that she would run away halfway. Su Qingzhi looked at her dragged arm and smiled helplessly. Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, she thinks so in her heart.

"Everyone, look at who I met downstairs!" Wang Yan shouted excitedly the moment he pushed open the door.

In the private room, the eyes of more than a dozen or twenty people were invariably concentrated. The male classmate who was originally singing also stopped singing and looked over.

"Squad leader, who's that?"

"yes, who, who?"

In everyone's inquiry, Su Qingzhi walked into the private room. Everyone didn't react for a while, until Bai Haoyi stood up and said, "Qingzhi, you're here!"

Su Qingzhi directly ignored Bai Haoyi, looked at everyone and smiled lightly: "Everyone, long time no see." ”

"Oh my God, it's been a long time, you've become so beautiful!" the girl closest to the door immediately got up and walked over

The boys were speechless, and their eyes were all fixed on her. Wang Yan couldn't help laughing, shouting that everyone should not be stunned, the song is playing!

When Su Qingzhi arrived, the boys were a lot quieter, causing a burst of complaints from the girls present. Everyone continued to take turns singing, and those who didn't sing sat together to catch up.

"Qingzhi, why haven't you heard from you in the past few years? Where did you go to college?"

Su Qingzhi looked at the girl in front of her, her big eyes were very smart, if she remembered correctly, she should be called Yang Minmin.

"Jiang Da, what about you?"

"That's great! I also wanted to take the entrance examination to Jiang University, but unfortunately I didn't get in, and then I went to Huada. ”

"BGI is also good, so are you working now?"

"yes! I work a 9-to-5 job for an IT company. ”

As soon as Yang Minmin's voice fell, he was pulled by other classmates to sing. For the next hour, Su Qingzhi was like an emotionless chat machine, and everyone sat down to chat.

Everyone has faded away from their youth and is forced to grow up by this society. The difference is that boys sit together and talk about career and work, while girls are relatively better, they can talk about anything, gossip and life. On the contrary, everyone seems to be secretly competing. On the surface, there is harmony, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the door. I saw a tall, fashionably dressed, and delicate girl standing at the door.

Wang Yan walked over, blinked his eyes, and was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "You are.... Gu Ya?"

Hearing the words of the class leader, everyone was stumbling, especially the boys.

"Squad leader, long time no see. Gu Ya, who laughed, was still recognizable.

"Gu Da Beauty, why are you here, how long have we been waiting for you. Zhao Wei couldn't help but joke that he was a little taller than high school, but he was still as thin as ever, and the nickname "Gao Guy" was really not wrong.

"That said, you're almost done with you. The fat dragon also agreed, and his mouth kept eating, this nickname was really too vivid.

Gu Ya stuck out her tongue and apologized to everyone, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she sat directly beside Bai Haoyi. The boys couldn't help but coax, Bai Haoyi's face was not good-looking, his eyes were still on Su Qingzhi, but the latter didn't look at him at all. Gu Ya's arrival set off a wave of small climaxes. Her boyhood is still as good as ever, and she will get together with everyone after a while. Singing and drinking, all connected.

No one went up to sing the next few songs, and they were allowed to play. Everyone sat around and talked about what they didn't have.

"Gu Ya, what are you doing now?" asked the squad leader Wang Yan

"I'm working as a translator in a foreign trade company, what about you?" Gu Ya looked at everyone with a wink.

Everyone's answers are varied, including graduate students, business leaders, white-collar workers, engineers, nurses, and pharmacists...

In the end, everyone's eyes focused on Su Qingzhi's body. She looked at everyone's curious appearances and replied lightly: "Photographer." ”

"The classmates of that year are now distributed in various industries, Huang Meiting has become an actor, Yan Shiwen has become a teacher, and Zhan Tianle has become a people's policeman.... Everyone is great!" Wang Yan sighed

......

It's close to dinner time when you come out of KTV, and one of the benefits of gathering in the mall is convenience, and there are all kinds of restaurants when you come down from KTV. Everyone was discussing which restaurant to go to for dinner, but Su Qingzhi had no intention of participating. Because Zhong Yuheng has already gone downstairs and is taking the elevator up.

"Qingzhi, what do you want to eat? Yang Minmin suddenly took her hand and asked, and everyone looked over.

Su Qingzhi had scolded thousands of times in her heart, but she couldn't show it, so she could only smile lightly: "I won't participate in dinner, I still have something to do, so I have to leave first." Have fun and have a chance to get together again in the future. ”

"What...."

“......”

Although she was very embarrassed, Su Qingzhi turned around very decisively. Bai Haoyi was silent all night, and finally couldn't help but want to reach out and pull, but saw Zhong Yuheng coming up with an escalator from a distance.

"Wow, is that man Su Qingzhi's boyfriend?" Yang Minmin exclaimed

"I didn't expect our Su Da beauty to be famous, and there is no hope. The boy in the back couldn't help but sigh.

"Even if people don't have a boyfriend, there's nothing wrong with you, wake up!"

"Hahahaha...."

Everyone laughed happily, but Bai Haoyi clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were red. Gu Ya on the side could see it clearly, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Su Qingzhi left.

"Didn't you say that you went to the mall to buy something, how did it become a high school party?" Zhong Yuheng took her hand, and his eyes were full of her.

"It's just that after talking to you on the phone, I ran into it, and then I was forcibly dragged to a party. Alas, don't mention it, the noise in the karaoke room hurts my head. ”

"So, you went to a reunion with your classmates without lunch?"

was said by Zhong Yuheng, Su Qingzhi realized that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, and his stomach screamed. I just ate a few pieces of fruit in KTV, and I didn't eat anything else.

"Long legs, I'm so hungry!"

Seeing her pouting and looking pitiful, Zhong Yuheng wanted to say something and stopped, shook his head helplessly, and had to take her to eat the sushi she wanted.

After dinner together, Zhong Yuheng sent her home directly. After a day of tossing, she no longer has the energy to go to the supermarket. In the taxi, she fell asleep on Zhong Yuheng's shoulder tiredly. Until she got out of the car, she was still dazed.

There was still some way home, and the pace of both of them slowed down a lot.

"I studied here in elementary school, but I didn't expect you to live here. Zhong Yuheng looked at the old signboard of the Yashan Department Store, and his thoughts suddenly returned to his childhood.

The current Yashan Department Store is a renovated department store, a department store with a history of 30 years. It is no exaggeration to say that in the eighties and nineties, every household in Jiangcheng would have an object bought at Yashan Department Store.

Whether it is clothing, furniture, electrical appliances, decorations, all kinds of department stores......

"Really?" Su Qingzhi was a little surprised, she didn't expect to be so close to him.

Zhong Yuheng nodded and pulled her in the other direction. After a small slope up, there is a humble dessert shop. Looking at the façade, it is also full of the atmosphere of historical years, and the menu on the wall has faded several times.

"I didn't have fencing at that time, I was swimming. Every time I finished a class from the Children's Palace, my mother would take me to this shop to drink sesame paste. Zhong Yuheng looked at the old storefront, and his eyes seemed to see himself sitting there drinking sesame paste when he was a child.

"Let's go and reminisce about our childhood. ”

Su Qingzhi pulled him directly into the dessert shop, and after finding a place to sit down, he didn't even look at the menu, and directly ordered two bowls of sesame paste.

"Maybe we've met, but when I was a kid, after practicing the piano in the Children's Palace, my mother would also take me here to drink sesame paste. ”

The corners of Zhong Yuheng's mouth lifted lightly and touched her head. The sesame paste was served, the boss was no longer the original boss, and the taste had changed slightly. Only the memory of being a child will not change...
