Chapter Eighty-Three: Nerves
When Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo returned to the bar, they were stopped by a table of people. Five or six young people in their twenties, twenty-four or five, are more familiar with Qi Qingnuo. Yang Jingxing knew each other one by one, and half of them were English names. A fashionable beauty invited Yang Jingxing to sit down for a drink, and Yang Jingxing said, "I'm sorry, I still have to drive...... Have fun. ”
After returning to the corner, Qi Qingnuo said, "How old do you guess Karen is?" is the woman who is more enthusiastic about Yang Jingxing.
Yang Jingxing said: "Twenty-seven or eight." ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "She has been divorced for four years, and her child is five years old, and she doesn't know her anymore. ”
Yang Jingxing was surprised: "You are so familiar?"
Qi Qingnuo smiled: "I heard what people who don't know you know." ”
After a while, Karen came over, sorted out the silk scarf a little in front of Yang Jingxing, and then took out a business card: "I appreciate musicians and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." ”
The business card is also all in English, what is the department head of the public relations company. Yang Jingxing flattered: "If you have the opportunity to cooperate, it means that I am developed." ”
Karen smiled: "Our partners at Yatong are all international enterprises...... You're classmates with Nono?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "Senior brother, the little boy in the freshman. ”
Yang Jingxing smiled.
Karen looked at Yang Jingxing: "I know two of Nuonuo's male classmates, you are more ...... It's not the same. ”
Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo: "Do you know the twins?"
Qi Qingnuo chuckled and diverted his gaze, ignoring it.
Yang Jingxing asked Karen, "Are those all your colleagues?"
Karen said: "Some are and some are not. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "The one in red is definitely not." ”
Karen wondered, "For what?"
Yang Jingxing said: "He has seen you several times. ”
Karen glanced at her companion and smiled, "We're not colleagues, but we work together...... Did you see them?"
Yang Jingxing said: "No, I guess." ”
Qi Qingnuo commented: "You are boring enough. ”
Karen smiled: "We'll leave later, I hope to have a chance to see you again...... Before I leave, can I listen to you play another piano piece?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it, I don't think her salary is as high as yours." ”
Karen didn't understand at first, then was a little embarrassed: "You heard that?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "If you are beautiful, you should speak quietly." ”
"I'm sorry. Karen kept smiling, but a little confused.
Yang Jingxing said again: "Or if I play a song, you say that you are happy to hear it, you have a treat, how about you are happy?"
Karen looked at Yang Jingxing for a while: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "You go and declare victory first." ”
Qi Qingnuo asked in a low voice, "They bet?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'll give you face." ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "No need. ”
After a while, Yang Jingxing really went to play a song of equalization, but he didn't listen, so Karen and Fu Feirong applauded him. Then Karen and they really left, Karen abided by the credit bill and asked Yang Jingxing: "When will I see you again?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I was still there for half an hour. ”
Karen smiled.
Qi Qingnuo asked, "What if she comes back later?"
Yang Jingxing asked, "Won't you come back?"
Qi Qingnuo tugged at the corners of his mouth to change the topic: "Where did we talk about before?"
Yang Jingxing said: "It was said that her child was five years old and divorced. ”
Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Yes, I know a lot about this, do you want to introduce it?" Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and help you maintain a tall image." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "You can't lie to yourself. ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "You are already this image to me! Hey, are you usually out or take it home?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it, let's talk about art." ”
Qi Qingnuo asked, "What kind of art?"
Yang Jingxing thought for a while: "I really don't understand. ”
Qi Qingnuo asked, "Did you call me by asking Yu Xinting?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I told her that you won the award. ”
Qi Qingnuo looked at his empty cup and suggested, "Another glass?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "That's enough." ”
Qi Qingnuo suggested again: "Take me for a ride." ”
Yang Jingxing agreed.
The car made a big circle near the bar, Qi Qingnuo opened the window, and the cold wind was blowing. Yang Jingxing said that it was useless, so he could only drive slowly.
Qi Qingnuo occasionally said: "Do you feel lonely?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I, basically not." ”
After a while, Qi Qingnuo asked again: "What about emptiness?"
Yang Jingxing said: "It's okay. ”
After a while, Qi Qingnuo asked again: "Do you feel that whether it is family, friendship, love, harvest or dedication, career ...... Nothing can fill the void where I don't know where the road is? You can't do anything about it, and you can't be indifferent. ”
Yang Jingxing smiled dryly: "I feel that my comprehension ability is a bit blank. ”
After being silent for a long time, Qi Qingnuo said, "I really want to travel." ”
Yang Jingxing supported: "Take advantage of the holiday." ”
Qi Qingnuo took pity on himself: "There is no purpose...... Can you take me to a place I haven't been to in the shortest possible time. ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "Men's toilet?"
Qi Qingnuo didn't tilt his head, leaned back in his chair and looked out the window, his face expressionless.
Yang Jingxing said: "Then don't blow it." ”
Qi Qingnuo raised his hand to close the window, Yang Jingxing accelerated, and after a while, he reached the wide road that was so empty that there were almost no cars, and the speed was even faster.
Becoming more and more sparsely populated, Qi Qingnuo turned his gaze: "Where are you going?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I don't know what to do. ”
Qi Qingnuo closed his eyes: "Call me when you arrive." ”
Yang Jingxing drove at a speed of eighty for more than half an hour, and after passing through a barren area, he slowly saw the lights, it should be a small town, and the name was written on the street sign.
Yang Jingxing stopped at the gas station. Qi Qingnuo opened his eyes, a little sleepy: "Arrived?"
Yang Jingxing asked, "Have you been here?"
Qi Qingnuo looked over: "No." ”
After refueling, Yang Jingxing drove around the town again. It's quite remote here, and I haven't seen more than ten floors of buildings. It was past twelve o'clock, and Yang Jingxing parked after finally finding a supper club that was still open. The streets are a bit dirty, with small buildings of three or four stories on both sides.
Listening to Yang Jingxing speak Mandarin, the boss was still not adaptable: "From Puhai? It's so late, where are you going?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Travel." ”
"Traveling in the middle of the night, going to Shiling?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Boss, I don't order anymore, you choose the best one to make a few things for us, I'm really hungry." ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "I'm hungry too...... The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. ”
The boss discussed and reported a few dish names, but Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo had no opinion. Yang Jingxing asked, "Do you still drink?"
Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "Eat! I didn't eat much in the afternoon." "I looked at the very untidy tables, chairs and benches in the small shop, and rubbed my hands.
Yang Jingxing took out an electric heater-like thing next to him and placed it next to Qi Qingnuo, opened it, and there was a burst of red light, slightly warm.
The food was served quickly, and there was a small round pot of pork ribs and tofu or something, which was placed on the small gas stove on the table, and there was a burst of steam.
Qi Qingnuo couldn't wait to taste a piece: "It's delicious...... Yu Xinting is about to praise life again, rice, I want rice. ”
After the rice came, Qi Qingnuo felt a little cold, so Yang Jingxing asked the old man to help heat it up, and stir-fried it without a microwave. The boss explained that the temperature dropped badly in the past two days and that it might be snowing.
Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo: "Bring you a bowl of ginger soup to prevent colds?"
Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "I eat vegetables, this one is a little spicy, I'll drink some." ”
After the four dishes were served, the boss sat next to him and prepared to chat with the guests, admiring the beauty of Qi Qingnuo by the way.
Qi Qingnuo asked, "Boss, what is this place called?"
"Qiao Zhen is also under the jurisdiction of Puhai City, how did you get here?" the boss was curious.
Qi Qingnuo said: "It's fun...... Boss, you have a good fish to cook. ”
The boss said, "We are fish in the river...... How's the boy chicken?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "The boss has good craftsmanship...... Chicken thighs for you. ”
Qi Qingnuo disliked: "It's so small." ”
The boss explained: "The bigger it is, the worse it tastes, it's all hormone-raised...... Hey, it's snowing. ”
Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo both looked out, and under the dim street lamp, there were some subtle dots. Qi Qingnuo put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the door, and Yang Jingxing followed.
The two of them stood under the dark night sky and looked up, hoping that one or two freezing spots would fall on their faces. A three-wheeled motorcycle drove over, stopped at the door of the restaurant, looked at Yang Jingxing's car, said hello to the boss and left.
Qi Qingnuo's phone rang, telling Yang Jingxing that it was her mother, and then explained on the phone: "We are having supper...... ...... with friends Get back...... It's a little far, you sleep first!"
After looking at the snow particles that were not in the climate for a while, the two neuropaths went back to continue eating, and when Yang Jingxing reached the third bowl, Qi Qingnuo also started the second bowl. Qi Qingnuo saw that Yang Jingxing was working hard in the pot, and suggested: "You use a spoon...... Can you drink this soup?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I'll help you taste it...... Tastes good. ”
"Bring me a bowl. Qi Qingnuo ate very happily.
It was only half an hour, and it was almost cleaned up, Qi Qingnuo wiped his lips and sighed: "This meal is refreshing." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Fortunately, I found it. ”
Qi Qingnuo put the tissue bag in front of Yang Jingxing and asked, "You have to get up early tomorrow?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Don't delay. ”
Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard. ”
Yang Jingxing also checked out and left after eating, and the boss wished them a smooth journey. After getting in the car, Qi Qingnuo was no longer so listless, and he looked at the dark scenery along the road all the way, and he was worried: "It would be fun if it broke down at this time." ”
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Well, I'll play with you." ”
Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Can you afford to play? Do you dare to turn around now and drive directly to the next city." ”
Yang Jingxing didn't dare: "Then I'm an adult trafficker." ”
Qi Qingnuo asked: "Are you willing to sell me? Who can afford it?"
After a while, Qi Qingnuo's phone rang again, urging her to hurry home. Fortunately, Yang Jingxing still remembered the road, and he drove relatively fast, and at two o'clock, he could be regarded as sending Qi Qingnuo to the door of his home, which was not very far from the brilliance. As on the road, the two didn't have much to say, and they bowed directly.
At seven o'clock in the morning on Saturday, Yang Jingxing went to pick up Tao Meng after finding a place to wash the car.
"It's so cold today. Tao Meng, who was thickly wrapped, took off the scarf, "Where are we going?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Keep it secret for the time being. ”
Tao Meng didn't ask: "I'm going to your school first tomorrow." ”
After arriving in the suburbs, Tao Meng wondered: "You won't go to Shangpu again, right?"
Yang Jingxing said: "That's right, your name is enough to read dozens of places in the whole school, which is enough for more than half a year." ”
Tao Meng curled her lips: "I don't believe it." ”
Halfway down the road, it turned a corner, a little closer than the school, and the largest indoor ski resort in Puhai. If you look at the large parking lot, you can see that there are many customers here.
Tao Meng was a little surprised and worried: "Why did you bring me here?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Didn't you have regrets when you came back from Canada last time? ”
Tao Meng asked, "Have you been here?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Twice, I am not proficient. ”
"With whom?"
"Once with Tan Dong, once alone, he doesn't have the perseverance I have. ”
Tao Meng looked at the building and said, "I've always wanted to come, but there is no one to accompany me." ”
Get a coach first when you get in. Then choose ski clothes, Tao Meng didn't want to rent it, so she bought it, and she didn't want Yang Jingxing to take out the card, she invited a treat, and said: "My manuscript fee is not used yet." ”
The clothes and shoes of the two people were all chosen by Tao Meng, yellow, black and black, not very good-looking. The two looked at each other, and Tao Meng said, "Yours is a little small." "No way, Yang Jingxing is the biggest.
When I entered the snow resort, I found that hundreds of people were in uniform. The coach, a woman in her thirties, asked about the situation. Yang Jingxing said that he could barely do it, and asked her to take care of Tao Meng mainly. The slopes are very long, estimated to be three or four hundred meters, and the slopes can be large or small. Take care of beginners and learn at the bottom of the small slope.
Yang Jingxing squatted down to help Tao Meng put on the snowboard before coming by himself, and said to the coach: "Take not wrestling as the principle and try to learn." ”
Tao Meng is confident: "It's not that difficult. ”
First, he warmed up the basic exercises, but Yang Jingxing didn't leave, just watched Tao Meng toddle from the side, and encouraged: "Learn faster than me." ”
Tao Meng was very careful, listened carefully, did it strictly, and did not make a fool of himself immediately. But after starting to slide, it is inevitable to squat down, but fortunately, the snow here is relatively soft, and it doesn't hurt much to fall. And Yang Jingxing has also been guarding by the side, so that Tao Meng can reach over to help her as soon as she falls.
It was only more than half an hour, and Tao Meng was out of breath: "I'm more tired than I imagined." ”
After resting for a few minutes, start quickly.
It started at half past nine, and by half past eleven, Tao Meng was able to slide for a while and stop smoothly, but his posture was not natural and relaxed.
The two of them skated side by side, the length was about 100 meters, and Tao Meng felt complete: "Okay, I'm so tired and hungry." ”
After coming out to change clothes, Yang Jingxing asked if he would eat here or go back to the city in the afternoon. Tao Meng said that he wanted to go back to the city: "I definitely don't have the strength to slip, and I can't walk anymore when I go shopping." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Come, I'll carry you." ”
"Don't!"
On the way back, Tao Meng looked at the ski clothes of the two and regretted a little: "I should have chosen the purple one." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "The orange ones are good-looking. ”
Tao Meng said: "But the two sets are the same. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "The size is different. ”
Tao Meng asked again: "How long did you learn?"
Yang Jingxing said: "The first time I didn't learn for three hours, the second time I bought an unlimited time ticket, and from morning to afternoon, I was able to slide down from the top." ”
Tao Meng said: "I'm tired to death, and my whole body is soft...... But it's finally rewarding, and I think it's a little more meaningful to play. ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "You praise me?"
Tao Meng was a little proud: "Sort of." Did you go to the alumni directory?"
Yang Jingxing said that it had been a long time. Tao Meng said that a girl in the class had a Thai boyfriend, and she actually wrote a diary in the alumni directory to talk about how sweet today and how happy she was tomorrow, but she didn't do anything. And this girl was not good-looking, but the photos she posted were as different as before. and her Thai boyfriend, who looks black and weird, actually asked everyone if he was handsome!
Tao Meng said: "When you see it, you know it, it's really not good-looking at all...... I feel that many of my former classmates have changed. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "If the environment changes, people will change." ”
Tao Meng asked, "Then have I changed?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I have always doubted that there are people around you who make you more and more cute." ”
"Annoying!" Tao Meng raised his chin, "I'll discuss it seriously with you." ”
