At six o'clock in the afternoon, there was a long queue of diners waiting to eat outside the Tang Palace Gathering Restaurant in the city center.

In the restaurant, He Waner occupied a two-person booth by the window, looking left and right.

As a rare authentic Cantonese restaurant in Gyeongju, the location here is extremely difficult to determine, He Guaner got off work an hour early to grab the position, and waited for Bai Tinghai to come over at six o'clock to eat.

It's just past six o'clock, and she only waited for a sentence from Teacher Bai's WeChat - traffic jam, she was going to be late.

At about 6:40, Bai Tinghai finally appeared. He wears his usual dark gray suit with a light gray shirt underneath, and he always has a low-key outfit.

"Sorry, it's late," Bai Tinghai sat down across from her, wiping a fine bead of sweat from his forehead, "I underestimated the extent of Gyeongju's congestion again." ”

He Wan'er's attention was on his right foot.

Teacher Bai is a face-loving person, even if his legs and feet are inconvenient, he never uses crutches when he goes out, and when I saw him in a hurry today, his lame situation seems to be slightly more serious than the last time I saw him.

The beginning of the year was ravaged by El Niño, and this summer and autumn were hot and rainy, but this winter is said to be exceptionally cold. In Teacher Bai's situation, living in a cold place like Xiangxuehai, I am afraid that the injury on my leg will worsen.

No, I have to find a reason for Mr. Bai to move to the city. It's just that, with Mr. Bai's personality, if he is afraid that his leg injury will worsen, he is afraid that he will refuse to do it crisply, and there is no need to talk about it at all.

Then how should we persuade it? He Wan'er pondered for a long time, but he didn't have time to take Bai Tinghai's words.

Seeing that she was in a trance, Bai Tinghai called her name lightly, "Why are you staying?"

"Ahh ”

Ten minutes later, He Guaner wore a disposable glove in his right hand, grabbing half a pigeon and gnawing on it.

This is the signature dish here, 38 yuan a piece, compared to 28 lettuce, it is not too cost-effective.

He Wan'er, who has no meat and no joy, eats very happily, and in addition to the roast pigeon here, all kinds of pastries, side dishes, and porridge are light and exquisite, which is also Bai Tinghai's favorite taste.

Seeing that the plate in front of He Wan'er was almost empty, Bai Tinghai exchanged a piece of Gu Qi meat that had barely touched in front of her.

"Teacher," He Wan'er said awkwardly, "You forgot? I don't eat pork." ”

"I'm sorry, I really forgot," Bai Tinghai woke up like a dream, hurriedly changed the dishes back, and laughed at himself, "I'm old, I'm very forgetful, you have to take care of it." ”

He Wan'er hurriedly shook his head: "You are not old, but you can't say that you are old, how can you be called old if you are less than fifty? According to the standards of UNESCO, you are still young!"

"I'm still a young man?" Bai Tinghai pointed at her with a sneer, "Then what are you?"

"I'm a child!" He Guan'er was arrogant, and quietly pointed to an eight- or nine-year-old child at the next table, "It's called a human cub over there." ”

Bai Tinghai was amused by her, and after a few seconds, his smile faded, and he touched his nose, with a hint of embarrassment that was not easy to detect.

"Speaking of age, I just realized that you will be thirty next year. After a long time, he finally spoke.

He Wan'er nodded inexplicably: "Yes, what's wrong?"

What's the question of her age? It's not her birthday lately, isn't it?

He Wan'er guessed and guessed, but he didn't expect Bai Tinghai to say: "Haven't you ever thought about finding a boyfriend?"

He Wan'er: "......"

After more than ten seconds, she couldn't cry or laugh: "Teacher, are you also infected with the problem of urging marriage?"

Bai Tinghai hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, don't I can't stand the pleases of others?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't know where to touch a thin piece of paper and gave it to her: "Someone asked me to match you and said that I wanted to see you." He said that he caught a glimpse of you at a meeting a few years ago, and he didn't have the courage to strike up a conversation at the time, and he ended up thinking about it all the time. It was easy to find out that you were my student, so I respectfully came to the door, wanting to get a marriage. This is the child's contact information, anyway, you take it first, and talk about it later. ”

He Wan'er was dumbfounded when he heard this, and refused to take it with a bitter face: "Teacher, I don't have this plan, don't force me, a creature like a boyfriend hasn't grown in my world yet." ”

However, no matter how she refused, Bai Tinghai insisted again and again, and she finally accepted the thing.

Bai Tinghai was relieved, got up and said "miss the company", and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

He Guaner took advantage of him to walk away, spread out the paper and saw the word "Yan Zheng" and a string of phone numbers written in the middle, and muttered: "The name is not bad, I don't know if it is a guy who is not worthy of the name." ”

For example, that guy, his name is Chunshan, in fact, the whole person has nothing to do with "Chun", whether it is personality or appearance, it is more suitable to be called "Iceberg".

The image of that person suddenly popped out of his mind - the facial features are rare three-dimensional among the Han people, with a full forehead, deep eyes, straight mountain roots, and a smooth and tight jawline, with a slight fold.

Well, I do have a good skin, but unfortunately I don't have a good temper, I don't talk badly and poisonously, and I don't have a gentlemanly demeanor, so I'm not suitable for being a boyfriend at all.

The three words "boyfriend" made He Waner stunned, and immediately shook his head fiercely.

She was extremely annoyed that she was inexplicably remembering Mo Chunshan at this time, and she was even more annoyed that she could connect him with those three words.

But I found that no matter how I shook my head, the well-defined side face didn't seem to disappear from my memory so easily.

Bai Tinghai came back a few minutes later, a little puzzled why He Wan'er's hair was messy, and he still looked absent-minded.

When it was time to leave to pay the bill, He Waner realized that Bai Tinghai had already paid the bill under the pretext of going to the bathroom just now.

She woke up like a dream, and became even more annoyed: "I said that I had a treat, why did you pay the money again?"

Bai Tinghai replied with a smile: "I don't pay for a meal with students, I'm terrible people say that I am academically corrupt." ”

He Wan'er wanted to follow his words and make a few jokes, but remembered that Fu Yingying had said that she had an affair with Teacher Bai or something, and suddenly lost her mood, and took her things and left in a trance.

As she passed by the lobby of the hotel, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

At the entrance to the private room at the very back of the hallway, the woman wearing a beige sweater and her hair neatly coiled seemed to be Gu Nian.

He Wan'er perked up, opened his eyes and looked at it carefully, making sure that the back was Gu Nian.

It seems that Gu Nian booked a private room here for dinner, but he came a little late, but he really responded to that sentence - it is better to come early than to come by coincidence, Gu Nian and Teacher Bai should not have seen each other for many years, this chance encounter, presumably both of them will be very surprised.

He Wan'er was happy for a while, and before he could say hello a few steps forward, he saw the man who was walking in front of Gu Nian and just turned back.

The man looked like he was in his thirties, short haired, tall and thin, with a crimson women's windbreaker on the crook of one arm, and the other hand holding Gu Nian's hand.

He walked in front of Gu Nian, turned around and smiled sideways, blocking the bead curtain hanging in front of the door of the private room, carefully protecting Gu Nian from being touched by those beads.

The smile on He Wan'er's face froze, she stopped, blinked fiercely, and was a little trance-like.

How could it be him?

Seeing that she was stunned, Bai Tinghai stood behind her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

He Wan'er came back to his senses and shook his head hurriedly: "No, let's go." ”

The next morning, He Wan'er arrived at the newspaper office before half past seven, sat at the table with a glass of water, and looked at the mobile phone on the table, thoughtful.

Renault is also used to arriving early, she entered the office with a cup of soy milk, and was startled to see He Wan'er.

found the obvious dark circles on her face again, and was stunned: "Boss, are you working overtime again?"

He Wan'er ignored her, and Renault began to play treasure: "Isn't it, my queen?

"I'm fine. He Guan'er looked up at her and sighed.

Although Renault loves to laugh and make trouble, he is not a person who is proud of his pampering, and seeing that He Wan'er is not in a very good mood, he hurriedly walked away with a sense of humor, leaving enough space for her to be alone.

Thinking of the scene he saw a few days ago, He Guan'er took a deep breath and stabilized his somewhat troubled thoughts.

She once again opened the screensaver on her mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and then looked at Gu Nian's name on WeChat, typed out a long paragraph, read it again, but deleted it word by word.

Then I hit it again and deleted it again.

After half an hour of hesitation, all she could send out was a dozen words.

At seven o'clock tonight, Shicui in the south of the city had a drink, and I didn't see or leave.

A few minutes later, Gu Nian replied with one word - okay.

That night, in the Shicui drink in the south bank district of Gyeongju, He Waner booked a small private room.

It's a so-called Black Pearl restaurant that serves an improved version of Sichuan cuisine in a palatial setting, with a garden-style terrace in each private room, and naturally the prices are high.

He Guan'er doesn't like this tune, her favorite thing is to drink beer and play skewers at street stalls. But Gu Nian likes it, so this time it's completely based on her aesthetics.

It's just that He Wan'er waited from seven o'clock to almost eight o'clock, and a pot of bamboo leaves changed the water three times, and Gu Nian was finally late.

Seeing the decoration of the restaurant, Gu Nian was obviously stunned, then patted He Guan'er on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I thought you only loved fly restaurants, but I didn't expect that there would be a high-end foreign day." ”

He Wan'er greeted her: "Sit down, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Gu Nian sat down gently, pinched her face, and a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth: "Why do you think you are peach-eyed? Honestly, did you go out on vacation and meet a handsome Kangba man, what indescribable sexual encounters happened?"

He Wan'er knocked her hand off and replied with two words at random: "How can there be?"

Gu Nian smiled cleverly: "You can't fool me, you must have an affair." Tell me honestly, who has such good luck to win the favor of my goddess?"

He Wan'er was really in no mood to laugh with Gu Nian, pointed to the menu, and diverted the topic: "I don't know what gift is appropriate to buy you when I go out this time, please have a meal and make amends." You order. ”

Gu Nian pursed his lips and picked up the menu with satisfaction: "It's pretty much the same." ”

Gu Nian was wearing a black tweed coat today, and he took it off when he entered the door, and it was a pure white slim dress inside.

Her hair has just been trimmed, and the length that is just over the shoulder plus Qi bangs is age-reducing and sweet.

It's just that He Wan'er always feels that such a concern is very inconsistent.
