Chapter One Hundred and One
Wen Jianning's story is also very long, but she didn't start from the beginning, but talked about it wherever she wanted.
She started from the rainy night when she fled, about Mr. Qi who was far away in Shanghai, about her dependence with Zhong Hui in Beiping, and also about the quarrel and disagreement between her and Jianwan who lived in the Mid-Levels Villa in those years, and finally ended with the early morning when she left the Ming family many years ago, and her agreement with her cousin Husheng about fireflies.
She said many, many things in one breath, even with Zhong Hui, she didn't seem to have said so much tonight. But after saying all these words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, she was not annoyed.
Although Feng Yi is a person, Wen Jianning can't see through it.
In fact, there are too many people she can't understand, and Feng Yi is not the first.
For example, Zhong Hui, she often doesn't understand why her friend is always so energetic and rampage, like a fireball that never stops burning, exuding infinite light and heat......;
Wen Jianning knew that he went to the United States to study alone when he was a teenager and spent most of his time abroad. It stands to reason that he should be a very Western-style person, like some boys from Tsinghua University, wearing a suit or leather jacket, watching movies or ballroom dancing, and speaking with a few words of English from time to time. But every time Wen Jianning saw this person, he almost only wore an old-fashioned gray robe, and when he buried his head in the teahouse and read a book, he looked like a pedant of the old era. What's more, he can also paint a few strokes of Chinese painting, and he also knows how to carve seals, and his temperament is calm and indifferent, which is more like a traditional Chinese literati.
However, it was only after hearing about his family that the mystery was solved.
For example, he is not a few years older than Wen Jianning, but he always has the calmness and peace of an old man. Every time Wen Jianning was with him, he could always feel a strange and reassuring power.
It was precisely because of this feeling that she was sure that Feng Yi was a friend worthy of her to deliver these secret things.
After Wen Jianning said this, Feng Yi also didn't say anything superfluous to comfort her. Both of them were silent, but they felt that the distance between them seemed to be much closer.
After a long time, Feng Yi said slowly: "Jianning, in fact, I'm glad that you are willing to talk to me about these things today, whether they are good or bad. Although I have always been your friend, it seems that I have only learned a little more about you today. ”
Wen Jianning was not the same, but she still hurriedly explained: "Actually, I didn't want to say it before, I just felt that there was no need to mention those things, and I would also treat you as my good friend." I don't know how to speak, but I know in my heart that you are the first friend to be so good to me besides my teacher Mr. Qi and Zhong Hui. ”
Although the time between the two has not been together for a long time, Feng Yi has given her a lot of help, and this summer vacation alone is far enough to come, and he has helped her a lot along the way. It's not that other classmates treat her badly, but Feng Yi's silent care in the subtleties really makes it difficult for her, who is sensitive by nature, not to remember it.
Feng Yi was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Jianning, I'm just an ordinary person." ”
This was obviously just a simple and plain sentence, but Wen Jianning heard something different.
She didn't understand much for a while, and when she was about to figure it out carefully, Feng Yi didn't allow her to think about it, looked up at the sky, stood up and said, "Okay, it's not too early, we should go back." ”
Wen Jianning got up, followed him, and walked in the direction of the village.
In the following days, as Feng Yi said, one night they encountered thousands of fireflies by the stream in the mountains. When these strange creatures slowly rose from the water of the stream, illuminating the forest with a faint light, the professors and students present almost fell under this natural miracle.
The students who love poetry are almost intoxicated by this dream, and the male and female classmates who secretly love each other along the way do not know when they come to one place, only a few students from the biology department are the most puzzled, and they just want to catch a few more specimens to study.
And when Wen Jianning watched this spectacular scene, his heart was as calm as water.
Because she knew that the firefly she really wanted would probably not fly into her palm in this life.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at her side, Feng Yi, who was standing side by side with her, was still quietly staring ahead, and he seemed to be shocked by this scene. Sensing her gaze, he turned his head to look at her very intently, his gaze inquiring.
Wen Jianning shook his head and said that he was fine, and went back to enjoy the scenery with the others.
……
There were still many unexpected situations on the next journey, and everyone was delayed for some time. It wasn't until a few days before the start of school that the group returned to Kunming. Compared to the high spirits when they went, some of the weaker female classmates came back a little tired.
However, Wen Jianning was still as energetic as when he went. Her physical fitness has always been good, and although she has suffered a little this time, she has also honed her physique more. Needless to say, Feng Yi, who was with her, although he looked like a weak scholar on the outside, after this long trip, Wen Jianning found that he was much more energetic than those male classmates who jumped up and down all day long.
When the people entered the city, they stopped at the school gate and began to unload their luggage from the mule cart. Some of the female students had too heavy luggage, and the male students showed their gentlemanly demeanor and took the initiative to go up to offer their courtesy, and they were also happy to lighten the burden.
Wen Jianning didn't bring many daily necessities when he went out this time, but he brought two very heavy bookcases, which contained some tomes of books, and he almost finished reading them on the way. Coupled with the souvenirs bought as gifts for Zhong Hui and them along the way, the amount is really not light.
Feng Yi habitually asked her, "Do you need my help?"
In the past, Wen Jianning would definitely have to hurriedly wave his hand and refuse. However, in the past month, the two have taken care of each other on the road, and she has not refused. The two of them were about to walk to the school with their suitcases, when they suddenly heard someone calling Wen Jianning's name.
Wen Jianning only heard that the voice was a little familiar, and when he turned his head, he saw Chen Hongwang, who he hadn't seen for three years, standing not far away.
I haven't seen him for three years, and his appearance hasn't changed much, although Wen Jianning was unsure at first, he quickly matched up with the person in his memory.
She was very surprised, walked over and asked, "Boss Chen, why did you come to Kunming too?"
"I heard that the third lady was in Kunming, and Chen came to visit. I don't want your classmates to say that you went out on a long trip and only came back today, so Chen deliberately waited here," Chen Hongwang said, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the taciturn young man behind her, "I don't know who this is?"
Wen Jianning calmly introduced: "This is my good friend, Feng Yi. ”
After briefly introducing themselves, the two men looked at each other in mid-air.
Since the two sides have met, it is inevitable to discuss in detail, but Wen Jianning is still in a hurry to move his luggage, so he will inevitably delay for a while. So there was an embarrassing picture, Feng Yi helped carry the box, and Chen Hongwang waited beside him.
Wen Jianning always felt that the atmosphere was strange as soon as the two met, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
Fortunately, after Feng Yi helped her carry her luggage, she left first, leaving only her to talk to Chen Hongwang.
The last time the two met was in Shanghai, when Chen Hongwang left suddenly due to business matters, and soon after she went north to study, when the Sino-Japanese war broke out, and since then they have cut off contact.
Too many things have happened in the past three years, and now when I see each other again, I just feel like a world away.
According to Chen Hongwang, when the Japanese army repeatedly stirred up trouble in the north, his business was affected and he had to leave in a hurry. But the original mess has not been dealt with, and it coincides with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and the business in various parts of the country has been devastated, and it was not until not long ago that it was not in good shape. After finishing his business, he remembered to inquire about Wen Jianning's whereabouts.
However, he couldn't ask for useful information from Mr. Qi and the others, so he had to turn his head to inquire about the news with Wen Songnian, and soon learned from Jianwan that she was now studying at a university in Kunming.
Wen Jianning still only smiled when he heard this, and he had already stabbed Jianwan back and forth several times in his heart.
She asked politely: "Boss Chen, I don't know if you came to Kunming to find me this time, but do you need my help with anything?"
Although Chen Hongwang has just claimed that his mainland business has suffered a heavy blow, she can see that he has not changed much in the past three years, and his calm and relaxed demeanor is even better than back then. Although she didn't know why he suddenly came to find her, she thought that she would have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
"Why should the third miss be so polite," he changed his words, "However, there is one thing that Chen really wants to ask what the third miss means." Before leaving Shanghai, Miss San told me that she was willing to hand over the copyright of her work to Chen as an agent. I don't know if this still counts. ”
Wen Jianning was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled: "Of course it counts." ”
Due to the heavy losses of his business in the mainland, Chen Hongwang has already shifted his focus to Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia in the past two years. In order to gain a good reputation among cultural people, he opened a bookstore and wanted to use Wen Jianning's works to open up the situation.
Although he doesn't know much about Wen Jianning's recent writing situation, he saw the influence of "Wang Clan" at the beginning. It's just that as soon as this book is sold, someone will inevitably dig out the disagreements between her and the Wen family.
Chen Hongwang is an eloquent businessman, and in order to achieve this cooperation, he described the prospect of fame and fortune to Wen Jianning in the future, which was extremely moving. Wen Jianning was distracted by what he heard, and it wasn't until he was reminded by the other party that he came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly: "Just leave everything to Boss Chen to take care of, I don't understand this." ”
So, the matter was quickly settled.
Wen Jianning's side will revise "Wang Clan" as soon as possible, and all other publishing matters will be handled by Chen Hongwang's people.
Before parting, Wen Jianning remembered something and asked him, "Can I ask you one more thing?"
Chen Hongwang smiled: "Third Miss, please speak." ”
She said solemnly: "I have a classmate named Zhang Tonghui, she recently wanted to go to Myanmar to do business, and she has left Kunming. She was alone and we were really worried. If you happen to be in trouble, and you happen to be able to help, please be sure to help her. If it is really inconvenient, please bother to write a letter to me, and I and other students will find a way to help solve it. ”
Chen Hongwang asked in surprise: "That classmate Zhang is the third lady's best friend?"
Otherwise, according to her temperament, how could she put down her body and beg for someone like this.
Wen Jianning's temperament is much more cheerful than before, and she has many good classmates, but Zhong Hui is definitely one of the friends she really puts in her heart, and Feng Yi can also be regarded as one, but Zhang Tonghui is still a little worse, and the two don't have much contact. She shook her head honestly: "It's not to the extent of a neck-to-neck friend, but living in the same dormitory for a few years, there is always love." ”
Chen Hongwang had a number in his heart, and said with some emotion: "It's really a very lucky thing to be a friend of the third lady. ”
Wen Jianning smiled slightly: "Then Boss Chen must be a lucky person to come." ”
Chen Hongwang glanced at her in surprise and laughed along.
