Chapter 351: Classmate's Brother
At first glance, seeing Shen Huai coming over, Cheng Yi thought that he had seen the wrong person, and he was also startled.
When they first met in the first lunar month, although she had a very bad impression of Shen Huai's exile and debauchery, Shen Huai's appearance was very good, at least to superficial women, having such a person to get along with, whether it was from the perspective of family background or appearance, could bring great vanity satisfaction.
However, Shen Huai in front of him seemed to be disfigured, his hair was messy, his face was thin twice, his chin was pointed, his eye sockets were sunken, the whole person looked tired, his shape was dry, and his eyes were not bright, dragging a large sail bag like a fleeing, the suit was wrinkled, I don't know how many years he had worn it, even if he carried a briefcase on a business trip, Shen Huai also carried three on his shoulders at once, and stood on the street to make people think that he was a hawker selling second-hand old bags.
Shen Huai saw Cheng Yi looking at himself hesitantly, spread his hands, and laughed at himself: "This is already my best trip in the UK, I hope to get on the plane later, don't get rid of it......"
He came out on a business trip with a few sets of laundry clothes, but after arriving in Birmingham, there was no condition to change work clothes on the production line, no matter how cautious he was, dozens of times he climbed up and down, and several sets of clothes could not keep the new ones required for the ceremony. And he mingles with Pan Cheng and them all day long, and he doesn't pay attention to any grooming, counting the time in China, his hair has not been taken care of for more than two months, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, it will be as messy as a bird's nest.
He is still Sun Haiwen at the root, and he is reluctant to use foreign exchange to buy and sell expensive clothes that make him feel painful locally, so he makes do with picking out a suit that looks okay and puts it on. He did not bother to buy other things with the extra foreign exchange budget from his business trip, but mostly used it to buy a large number of domestic and technical information, and stuffed his large canvas bag to the brim.
Cheng Yi has no feelings for Shen Huai, and even has a strong rejection in her heart, but she was forced to maintain a relationship with Shen Huai at the request of her family, and she was indifferent to Shen Huai's good or bad, she just smiled politely and said: "I have two friends who want to return to China with us, and we have some time, so we will dine and chat here." I don't know when you came over, so I didn't help you order food......" and pointed to the three briefcases on Shen Huai's shoulders that were extremely eye-catching, and asked, "Do you want me to help?"
"No," Shen Huai said while dragging a large canvas bag and walking with Cheng Yi to the restaurant, "I got up early in the morning and hurriedly packed my things, only to find that after a month in the UK, I couldn't stuff a big bag that I bought, and I couldn't find a bag that looked better in a hurry, so I used two more briefcases." At first, everyone thought it was normal, and I didn't think anything was wrong, but when I got on the train from Birmingham and someone came up to me and asked me how to sell the bag, I felt that something was wrong. You're like this, it's too big to be a bag girl......"
Cheng Yi smiled, although she felt that Shen Huai was very flamboyant, but she felt that these words did not sound boring.
Shen Huai asked Cheng Yi again: "By the way, in front of your friends, how should I introduce myself?" He thought to himself that Cheng Yi could travel by plane with his friends, and they were probably quite close. He knew that Cheng Yi was forced by family pressure to maintain a state of "communication" with him, and he might not be willing to let his close personal friends know about this state, so he asked more.
Hearing Shen Huai ask this, Cheng Yi's face was a little red, she was really entangled in how to introduce Shen Huai's identity in front of her friends.
Family is family, and after Cheng Yi went to study in the UK, she did not want her family to affect her study abroad life. She even had a good feeling about the conservative and stubborn family life, which was heavily infiltrated by politics, and thought that at least when she was younger, she would be further away from it, and not think about the family responsibilities that she had to bear.
Of course, Cheng Yi was reluctant to introduce Shen Huai in front of her friends and say that she was the political marriage partner arranged by her family, and she felt that it was difficult to say it - in the UK, if she let others know that you need to intersect to determine the dating partner, it will probably be a big smile for classmates and friends.
Shen Huai strongly asked his sister-in-law to return to China with Cheng Yi, and Cheng Yi accepted Shen Huai's request under the pressure of her mother.
Fly back to China together and eat two meals in a fake way, give an explanation to the family, and there is no obstacle to their usual lives, which is nothing. It's just that after Cheng Yi booked the ticket and itinerary, the two friends wanted to return to China because of family affairs, and she couldn't refuse to go along.
"I," Cheng Yi squeaked, "I told them you were the older brother of my middle school classmate. ”
Cheng Yi and Song Tong are indeed middle school classmates, even one year lower than Song Tong.
Shen Huai smiled understandingly: "Oh, I understand. ”
Seeing that Shen Huai was not only a little dissatisfied, but also smiled quite understandingly, Cheng Yi relaxed in his heart, thinking that although this person was not good at anything, at least there was a little, just be with him, there would be no pressure. Thinking about the scene of Shen Huai playing treasure in the Western restaurant last time, I couldn't help but laugh again.
Cheng Yi's friends, a man and a woman, are all domestic young people who went to the UK to study a year earlier than Cheng Yi.
Walking into the restaurant, Cheng Yi introduced Shen Huai: The woman is handsome, taller and thinner than Cheng Yi, and she is also dressed in a short skirt and windbreaker, if she is not too thin, she is a middle-grade beauty;
In short, rats have rat paths, snakes have snake paths, and domestic students in the UK also have their own circles.
Although Cheng Yi lives in Yanjing with her parents all the year round, her hometown, like Yu Peili and Liu Fulong, is in Qinghe City, Hebei Province, so after studying in the UK, they became acquainted with each other.
Yu Peili and Liu Fulong are a pair of lovers, looking at their clothes and dress, their family background is quite good.
However, Shen Huai, Yu and Liu just took the same plane, and there was no need for too deep exchanges, so they shook hands with the two, and briefly introduced that they were from China to the UK on a business trip, and they happened to fly back together, so they called the waiter to come up and ordered another pizza to eat.
I didn't have time to eat breakfast in the morning, and I was delayed on the road for five hours, and I arrived to meet Cheng Yi, and I was also hungry.
Cheng Yi introduced Shen Huai and said that he was the elder brother of a middle school classmate, and he returned to China together on a business trip to the United Kingdom, and Liu Fulong and Yu Peili did not suspect anything. Shen Huai is not much different from the image of the state-owned enterprise technicians who go abroad for business in their impression, and it is even more down.
After a brief greeting, Liu and Yu sat with Cheng Yi to talk about their life in the UK, politics, literature and art, law or something, and didn't think that Shen Huai could have any common language with them, but coldly maintained a basic etiquette of meeting fellow villagers in other countries.
After eating, Liu Fulong was also very resolute not to let Shen Huai pay: "Your unit is on a business trip, and the foreign exchange subsidy is probably not much, right?"
"Okay, twenty dollars a day. Shen Huai told the truth, including him and Pan Cheng, the extra allowance for all expatriate employees was only twenty dollars a day.
Of course, this is the company's overseas allowance for individuals, and the daily living expenses of employees stationed abroad and all his business expenses in Birmingham are naturally from the company's finances - Liu Fulong insisted on treating, and Shen Huai naturally would not insist. Another one, he has been communicating with people so frequently during this period that he is about to renause, and he wishes that others would be cold to him, so that he can rest his brain.
Cheng Yi also knew that Shen Huai and Liu Fulong would not care about dozens of pounds for meals, but she liked Shen Huai's silent and low-key attitude, so that they would be separated after returning to China safely, and they would also explain to their families, and they were not afraid that when they returned to the UK, they would ask their classmates and friends in the UK.
Britain is seven or eight hours behind Yanjing, Shen Huai and their boarding time is three o'clock in the afternoon in London, in fact, it is eleven o'clock in Yanjing time, eleven hours of flight time, to Yanjing Airport should be ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.
Since he was only the elder brother of a middle school classmate, Shen Huai had no intention of showing any more courtesy to Cheng Yi all the way, and when he got on the plane, he asked the stewardess for a blanket and slept with his head against the visor of the porthole.
Shen Huai seemed to hear who was snoring, and woke up in a daze, only to feel that the things under his cheeks were soft, and when he opened his eyes, a touch of smooth skin like clotted fat was close in front of him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then realized that it was Cheng Yi's cheeks in front of him - but Cheng Yi's whole body leaned out as much as possible, probably because he couldn't hide anymore, so he had to endure him pillowed on her shoulder, but there was an extra corner of blanket on his shoulder.
It was probably his waking up movement that disturbed Cheng Yi and Yu Peili, and they turned their heads to look at them.
Shen Huai was a little embarrassed and asked Cheng Yi, "How did you hear someone snoring?"
Yu Peili couldn't help laughing, Cheng Yi couldn't help laughing, Shen Huai noticed that Liu Fulong, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, frowned, didn't smile, didn't say anything, but the young man sitting in front of Liu Fulong turned to look at Shen Huai and told him:
"Brother, you slept so comfortably. I snored so much that everyone couldn't sleep, and when I woke up, I could hit a rake upside down and rely on others' heads. I've never seen you break so big. Of course, if I can sleep on Miss Cheng's shoulder, no matter how much I push me, I won't wake up. It's just that if you put all the saliva on the shoulders of Miss Cheng, it's too abrupt and beautiful......"
Sitting next to a beautiful woman, you have to get used to enduring the hostile and prickly eyes of others.
Seeing this young man wearing a black suit, a woolen sweater with a chicken heart collar and a purple flower tie, with a "Miss Cheng" on the left and a "beauty" on the right, Shen Huai thought to himself that when he was sleeping, this kid had been talking to Cheng Yi, Yu Peili, and Liu Fulong for a long time.
Shen Huai wiped the corners of his sticky mouth, saliva flowed out, and then he looked at the blanket as if there was a wet mark, he really slept too soundly, and he was snoring and saliva, which was really embarrassing.
Cheng Yi took down the blanket on her shoulder, probably worried that Shen Huai's saliva would penetrate the blanket, and looked at her shoulder again, so that Shen Huai understood that she was not happy that he was sleeping on her shoulder, but she didn't forcibly wake him up for the sake of face.
"I'm sorry, I slept too soundly just now. Shen Huai apologized.
"Nothing. Cheng Yi was probably afraid that Shen Huai would misunderstand, and the tone of her response was very cold, dry and emotionless, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold again.
Shen Huai sat up straight, let the sore muscles in the back of his neck relax a little, looked at the clear morning light through the gap in the porthole shutter, had the illusion of sleeping for a long time, looked at his watch, and actually slept for about six hours.
Shen Huai noticed Liu Fulong's eyes looking at him again, with displeasure and dissatisfaction, thinking that he was probably unhappy about sleeping on Cheng Yi's shoulder, probably because he and Yu Peili were lovers, but it was not easy to say anything.
Shen Huai thought to himself: Could it be that this kid also wants to step on the two ships of Yu Peili and Cheng Yi at the same time?
