Chapter 087: The First Snow of 2006 (Part 1)
On December 31, the first snow of 2006 fell in Yanjing.
The branches of the trees, which were bare a day ago, are now dressed in silver like graceful maidens, the roofs of large and small buildings are covered with white hats, which hide a lot of modern atmosphere, and the pedestrians and vehicles in the streets and alleys are moving much slower than before......
No wonder some people say: As soon as it snows, Yanjing becomes Yandu.
A snowfall is enough to cover the entire Yanjing City, covering the increasingly dilapidated houses and streets, and also covering the increasingly cruel reality, under the skillful decoration of nature, this city and the people of this city finally slowed down, as if returning to the days when cars and horses were slow in the past.
But Ren Pingsheng couldn't slow down at all, but he hoped that time would pass faster, and when the concert opened, he would see Zuo Xiaoxiao sooner.
The performance time of the New Year's concert starts at 19:30, and you can enter 1 hour before, and Ren Pingsheng arrived at the Great Hall of the People on time.
I don't know if there is any big man to appear, today's security check is particularly strict, there is already a long queue at the door, Ren Pingsheng passed through one pass after another, and it took half an hour to enter.
Although Ren Pingsheng had visited this building in his previous life, he was all a quick glance at the flowers, and today is the first time to experience this kind of occasion, and the life experience of his previous life is basically of no help at this time, so he can only move in the direction of the crowd.
It stands to reason that you have to wear formal clothes to listen to classical music, and Chinese people didn't pay much attention to this before, so they also made a lot of jokes.
However, with the rapid development of the economy and the overall improvement of the quality of the people, the higher the class, the more attention is paid to whether one's dress and behavior are proper and decent.
Most of the people who can enter this auditorium today are relatively high-class, so they are quite particular about their dress.
Of course, this is China after all, there is no need to wear any tuxedo and the like in foreign countries, men are basically dark-colored formal wear, women are particular about wearing evening dresses, cheongsam, and younger ones can wear dresses or something.
Of course, Ren Pingsheng can't show his timidity, although he is not ranked in Yanjing, a city with a clear hierarchy, but what he has in his hand is money, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to buy good services.
As early as a few days ago, he ordered a set of formal clothes from the best time-honored brand in the capital, high-grade wool fabrics imported from Italy, tailor-made by senior tailors, this pure black suit was worn on his body, with Zegna's highest-grade lambskin black dress shoes, which made him improve his spirit a lot.
Although he had already arrived at the venue, Ren Pingsheng didn't know where Zuo Xiaoxiao was, at this time, half of the people had already entered the venue, crowded, well-dressed and sideburns, which one was his ex-girlfriend?
Just when Ren Pingsheng was confused and helpless, Zuo Xiaoxiao's text message finally arrived in time, and according to the instructions of the text message, Ren Pingsheng came to a smaller hall next to the 10,000-person auditorium.
It was supposed to be a place for the orchestra to rest before the performance, and there were few people except for a few uniformed emissaries carrying equipment, and the hustle and bustle of the Great Hall of Ten Thousand people in the distance seemed to be cut off.
Walk around a screen of large oil paintings and enter the bright and elegant hall, where many treasure-island artworks are placed.
Because it was not time for the meeting, the tables and chairs were not lined up, and the hall was empty at this time.
The most conspicuous thing is an oil painting of green mountains and green waters, more than a dozen egrets are taking off in a line, but Ren Pingsheng did not look at the painting, his eyes are completely focused on the bottom of the painting.
Underneath the painting, a woman in white stood quietly.
He walked forward step by step, the closer he walked, the faster his heart beated, the blood vessels accelerated sharply as if they had been struck by lightning, the liquid in the blood vessels wanted to rush out, but the pupils instantly dilated, and the colors in front of him became richer and richer.
She is as plain as ever, and her face without a trace of fat powder is still beautiful and refined, clear and feminine, like a girl walking out of a painting.
She wore a white woolen coat with a slender white neck exposed at the collar of the round coat, and her waist-length black hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
The hem of the tweed coat reaches to the knees, and below it are two long straight legs wrapped in smoke-gray stockings, and the long legs are gracefully long and gracefully stepped on silver-gray silk flats.
No matter what angle she looks at, her figure is so slender and slender, adding a point too much, subtracting a point too little, and her standing posture is also so elegant, standing tall like a white swan, slim and outstanding.
She is Zuo Xiaoxiao, the woman who made Ren Pingsheng never forget in her previous life and persistent in this life.
Ren Pingsheng was in a bit of a trance in front of him, this was the first time he had seen Zuo Xiaoxiao since he was reincarnated.
Counting the time in his previous life, they haven't seen each other for ten years, but what Ren Pingsheng met at this moment was Zuo Xiaoxiao ten years ago.
In his previous life, he didn't see Zuo Xiaoxiao ten years later, but this regret is made up today.
The Zuo Xiaoxiao in front of him is still the same as he remembers, and it is still the same appearance that haunts him, and it looks almost the same as ten years ago.
Obviously, he is already an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, but at this moment, he is standing in front of his ex-girlfriend who was young ten years ago, and this feeling of being mixed with the cycle of time and space is extremely wonderful.
Hearing the footsteps, Zuo Xiaoxiao turned around.
The face that haunted Ren Pingsheng's soul was indifferent, and a pair of clear and clear eyes glanced at him, which made Ren Pingsheng's heart beat even more violently.
Ren Pingsheng has imagined countless times what it will be like when she reunites with Zuo Xiaoxiao, what to say, and how she will respond.
But when this moment became a reality, he found that all the assumptions were useless, he simply couldn't control his mood swings, he was at a loss like a young man who had just fallen in love, and it was difficult to say a sentence in full.
However, Zuo Xiaoxiao was more calm, she raised two slender eyebrows slightly, her dark eyes were as calm as a lake, and she said softly: "Pingsheng, you are here." ”
Seeing his former girlfriend standing in front of him, Ren Pingsheng turned dozens of times in his mind, but finally blurted out a vulgar sentence that could not be more vulgar.
"Xiaoxiao, I'...... I'm coming. ”
The words have been spoken, and Ren Pingsheng regrets it.
Usually in front of others, on other occasions, Ren Pingsheng is known for his eloquence.
Ren Pingsheng, who can talk about the living as a dead person with one mouth, how can he open his mouth and not reach the meaning in front of Zuo Xiaoxiao, and he can't even say a word clearly.
It's a shame.
While Ren Pingsheng was feeling sorry for himself, Zuo Xiaoxiao did not have as many complex psychological activities as him, at least on the surface.
The two of them stood in place, each waiting for the other to speak first, but neither of them knew how to speak, the air was strangely quiet, as if time had stood still here, and the hustle and bustle of the Great Hall of Ten Thousand People in the distance seemed to be as far away as the Ten Thousand Mountains, as far away as if they were in another world.
After a long time, Zuo Xiaoxiao spoke.
"You've changed. ”
Zuo Xiaoxiao is right, as long as someone with a little observation can see the changes in Ren Ping's life.
This is not the effect of his well-textured suit, but a kind of spiritual energy that naturally manifests itself from the inside out.
Because Ren Pingsheng's young body is loaded with the soul of an old man in his thirties, who has tasted all kinds of things in the world, deceived me, suffered setbacks, and achieved success.
What's more, in the past six months, Ren Pingsheng has not only grabbed the first pot of gold through his own efforts, but also experienced India's pharmaceutical negotiations, the blood and fire of the Golden Triangle, and the financial elites and game wizards.
The accumulation of these experiences not only allowed him to gain wealth, but also made his mentality more stable, his heart stronger, and his demeanor more calm.
The combination of various qualities makes this version of Ren Pingsheng not only have an aura that surpasses his peers, but also has more manly charm than the previous version of Ren Pingsheng.
And Ren Pingsheng looked at the pair of eyes that fascinated him, and what he said was:
"You haven't changed. ”
He said this, but he was not very sure.
Judging from her appearance, Zuo Xiaoxiao is still the same Zuo Xiaoxiao, the girl who "clears water out of hibiscus and naturally decorates", the girl who can maintain elegance and calmness no matter what situation she is in.
But what is Zuo Xiaoxiao's heart, does she stay at the moment of breakup, or return to the past, or go further?
Ren Pingsheng didn't know, but he wanted to know the answer.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and say the question that had been waiting for him for a long time, he was interrupted by a cold call.
"Xiaoxiao!"
