Chapter VII
The driver of the Chen family only drove and barely spoke. It's just that the weather is in the middle of the afternoon, the fierce sun is rolling on the ground, and the car is very hot and stuffy. Tang Qi took out a handkerchief from her bag and waved it at her face, her face was snow-white, and her cheeks were slightly red because of the heat in the car. When the car drove outside the city, the dust was so thick that it got into the cracks in the windows, so I had to close the windows. Tang Qi's eldest lady couldn't hide her problem anymore, and complained a few words.
At the same time, Chen Yeping got up early and the car was warm in the car, so he unconsciously took a nap, and leaned his arm against the window in the crook of his elbow. Tang Qi saw fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and gently rubbed him with the white handkerchief in his hand.
Minen is a small county town, not far from Fulin, and it will be there at twelve o'clock.
Chen Yeping seemed to have not slept the whole time, half-squinting his eyes. Suddenly felt that the car stopped, the driver turned the car in a different direction, but Chen Yeping woke up, Tang Qi didn't know what was going on in front of him, stretched out his head and looked forward, and said, "Oh, why are there so many people in front." β
Chen Yeping remembered that his eldest brother told him that there were student organizations in Minen this time, and it was very chaotic. He asked the driver to park the car and walked with Tang Qi by himself. I saw the wave of students marching towards this direction, the windows of the cars were closed, but I could still hear the sound of chaos through the sound, shouting slogans, shouting over and over again.
The driver parked the car at the mouth of the alley, and the group of students in white shirts, some holding banners, and passers-by all walked around to the side. Some students held a handful of leaflets and passed them to passers-by. The white pieces of paper fell to the ground like a leaf that staggered and fell to the ground.
Chen Ye had just opened the car door, and suddenly there was a commotion, and the group of students rushed in the direction of him.
Before he could react, he was squeezed back into the car by the crowd. The group of students was running towards a Ford behind him. The curtain was drawn in the car, and the people inside the black and shiny body could not be seen. It wasn't until I looked at the license plate that I realized that it was a military car, and there seemed to be a big man sitting in the car.
The group of students gradually gathered around the car and spoke to the people in the car, but the curtains on both sides could not see anything, so the people holding the banners stood in front of the car and shouted desperately from their throats, and then a group of students followed behind. The sentence became more and more neat like a slogan.
It turned out that sitting inside was the newly appointed Overseer of the Western District, and this group of students knew that he was coming to Min En to participate in the inauguration ceremony today, and the students of various local schools began to form a procession in Min En in the past few days.
The curtain in the car was opened, and the students showed the flyers to the people inside, and the more people gathered, pushing and shoving. There were many leaflets that were floating in the air in the wind, and white pieces of paper fell on the roof of the car. The sun was scorching, the white shirts were sweaty, and the slogans made the air even drier. The car door was crowded with people, and he couldn't drive out, Chen Yeping could only look behind him in the car, and he didn't know what they were going to do.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out in the air, and the crowd fell silent for a moment, followed by a rapid whistle, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic. Guards with spears quickly surrounded the Ford, some of the students retreated in fear, and the whole street was full of commotion, and everyone was mixed with each other. The guards arrested a few students, and some of them shouted for them to be released. The guards held their spears across their waists, and even resisted the momentum of the students, and after arguing for a while, several of the guards made a move, and the scene became a mess. Some students shouted, "Hit someone, beat someone!"
After a few bright moments of Peng Pengpeng's voice, white smoke filled the air, I realized that it was the reporter of the newspaper who came, and they took a few photos of the scene.
A person in the car opened the door and walked out. The shortest of the men, dressed in uniform, said to the guards, "Don't hit the students, get out of the way and let the car pass." With that, several reporters rushed over with cameras, and the man reacted quickly, and got into the car after giving the order.
In this way, the guards squeezed the students into the side of the road, and the students were also unwilling, still shouting "Qi Overseer". The newspaper reporter took a picture of the departing car with his camera.
Chen Yeping saw that the crowd was almost stable, so he said to Tang Qi, "Let's go out." β
The students on the street weaved through the small streets, watching the black Ford cars stretch away, and the guards guarded tightly.
Chen Yeping accidentally bumped into someone when he opened the door, a stack of leaflets in the female student's hand fell to the ground, and a few pieces of paper from Bai Huahua suddenly flew into the sky, Chen Yeping hurriedly supported the person, but it was too late, the female student covered her forehead, and she didn't have time to look at him, she looked very painful, so she hurriedly squatted down and picked up the flyer on the ground. Chen Yeping didn't have time to ask, "Are you okay?", someone pushed her behind, and the female student hurriedly followed the crowd forward.
Tang Qi stood in front and called him, she was very anxious and scared - she had never seen such a chaotic scene in her life, and she inevitably had a drum in her heart.
Chen Yeping walked to her side, Tang Qi patted his chest and still had palpitations, and said, "I was scared to death when I shot at the right time...... She was already obviously walking crookedly, almost breaking her foot, Chen Yeping hurriedly held her arm.
When the hustle and bustle faded away, the streets fell silent again. Wicker hangs on the turquoise water, and the streets are littered with conspicuous white paper.
In the afternoon, people gradually gathered, the Milan High Ballroom is a well-known ballroom in Minen, and it was just renovated last month, it is decorated magnificently, magnificent, and there is a tripod piano in the center, I heard that the owner here specially bought it from abroad. As soon as the lights are turned on, the light shines on every corner, the red leather sofa, and the waiter at the bar wipes the cups with white hand towels.
As soon as Chen Yeping and Tang Qi came in, they smelled the faint aroma of wine. Wu Zhenzhen was chatting with a few little sisters, saying that laughter came from somewhere, and Chen Yeping immediately locked on Wu Zhenzhen, who was wearing a navy blue long-sleeved dress with white edges, and Wu Zhenzhen also happened to see him. He walked over, "I thought you would be absent!"
Chen Yeping smacked his lips and said, "What kind of person am I in your mind?" When he said this, Wu Zhenzhen glanced at him, and was about to say something, when he saw Tang Qi next to him.
Tang Qi stayed by the side and listened to them. At this time, he greeted Wu Zhenzhen and waved his hand: "Zhenzhen, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are going to stay abroad?"
Wu Zhenzhen seemed to be a muck, but she reacted quickly and said politely: "Yes...... Long time no see...... Why are you here?" In fact, she already understood that Tang Qi was here with Chen Yeping, but she still asked such a question.
Tang Qi was about to answer, but Chen Yeping preemptively said: "I brought her here, otherwise this eldest lady doesn't know how long she will mess with me - when she came here just now, she met a bunch of students marching, what happened?" Tang Qi pushed him and said angrily: "You make it clear, what do you want me to mess with you?!"
"It's just some recent events in the West District that have caused a large number of students to protest-" Wu Zhenzhen looked at the intimacy of the two of them when they were fighting, but he lowered his head for some reason. But she suddenly remembered something, and someone called her later, "Zhenzhen", she said two words, only let them sit first, and she was unaccompanied first.
Tang Qi was a two-hour drive, and it was hot in the car, so he put on makeup, so he went to the bathroom to touch up his makeup.
Wu Zhenzhen realized that it was the manager of Milan High who came out to apologize, and their pianist had an emergency and couldn't play at night. The manager has contacted to find a pianist, but I don't know if I can find it. Wu Zhenzhen lowered her head in distress, and then her eyes lit up, she remembered someone, and then dragged the best male classmate, and even pushed and sent someone over.
The male classmate didn't refuse, patted his chest and only said, "I can also find her three feet from Minen Street." "I ran out with a big meteor step.
The waiter held a long plate with one hand, and sent wine to the people on the scene, the liquid contained in the white glass was orderly, Chen Yeping ate a few pieces of fruit, and when he saw the waiter bringing wine, he took it with one hand and took a sip. Tang Qi went to the bathroom for a long time, and finally came out, she combed her hair again, and after touching up her makeup, her complexion looked much better than just now, and she put a faint red lipstick on her lips, and her whole person was refreshed.
She walked to the sofa and stretched out a hand, Chen Yeping looked at her and wondered: "What's wrong?" Tang Qi said as expected: "Aren't you going to invite me to dance?" At this time, everyone was chatting, Chen Yeping said: "After a while, who is dancing now?" β
Tang Qi pointed to the dimly lit spotlight not far away, where there was a long sound of violins, and there were two or three pairs dancing to the music. She said, "Isn't that right?"
Chen Yeping thought about it and couldn't resist her, so he had to get up and dance with the eldest lady.
A man and a woman playing the violin are intoxicated on the bandstage, and one piece ends and then another, which is basically a leisurely and elegant tune. Tang Qi has practiced dancing since she was a child, and she often dances at school social meetings, she dances well, and several people next to her applaud, it was a foreigner with golden hair, who gave her a thumbs up.
Tang Qi replied in English, turned her head and saw Chen Yeping looking down at her, she asked, "What are you doing looking at me like this?
Chen Yeping said: "It's good-looking." That foreigner keeps staring at you, and he seems to have taken a fancy to you. Tang Qi didn't look over, the foreigner in the suit looked at her from time to time with dancing steps, and when he saw Tang Qi looking at him, he smiled at her. Tang Qi was indifferent, turned his head and asked him: "You guessed right, then are you jealous?" Chen Yeping only smiled and didn't answer, and the two danced in the spotlight.
Although Chen Yeping has lingered hundreds of times on occasions like the ball, his familiar female companions are vying to dance with him, and it is very easy for him to dance. It's just that he coped with it a lot, and he felt bored, he didn't pay attention, and looked around casually. He turned around and saw Wu Zhenzhen at the bar holding a woman who came out of it, the two were very intimate when they spoke, both of them were standing, the woman only had a silhouette, with long braids like twisted flowers, and she was dressed like a student. But after a while, Wu Zhenzhen seemed to pull her and didn't let her go, the woman talked to her with good words, and forced her, Wu Zhenzhen's coquettish ability had heard of it when she was in school, and she refused to let go, so she dragged the woman and didn't let go, they were discussing something.
The sound of the music is elegant and tranquil, and what is happening there is like a mime. Chen Yeping frowned suddenly, and Tang Qi stepped on his leather shoes. His left foot has not yet recovered, and this step is really painful. Tang Qi bent down and asked him, "Are you okay...... I didn't mean to...... It's you who didn't pay attention, and danced the wrong wayβ"
Chen Yeping shook his hand with a breath and said, "It's okay, I'll go take a rest." β
Tang Qi stepped forward to hug him, but he said no. Tang Qi watched Chen Yeping limp away, and was about to follow, when suddenly a voice sounded behind him, saying in awkward Chinese: "This lady, can I invite you to dance?"
That's right, the golden-haired foreigner. Tang Qi should have refused, she wanted to dance with Chen Yeping, but thinking that Chen Yeping looked absent-minded from just now, she breathed a sigh of relief, so she agreed to this foreigner.
Wu Zhenzhen saw his feet limping, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you?" Chen Yeping took a glass of boiled water from the bar, took a sip, and explained: "A while ago, my leg fracture was still recovering, and I was stepped on, so it's no big problem." Wu Zhenzhen didn't know what the tone was, her dialect always sounded soft and soft, and she only said: "I can't see that you are very good to her, and you are still dancing with her with a foot injury." β
Chen Yeping swallowed a mouthful of water, suddenly laughed, showing his snow-white teeth, and only said: "You still have to do what you promised others, by the way, do you and Tang Qi have any troubles? Look at the two of you weird." β
Wu Zhenzhen jumped off the bar chair and only said: "We don't know each other at all, how dare we have a holiday with this daughter-" After saying this, the male classmate who was called out by her just now ran in panting, Wu Zhenzhen said, "Didn't you catch up with someone?"
The male classmate said, "She said she was going home...... I really can't do itβI'm on. β
Wu Zhenzhen said in disgust: "You, will you?"
The male classmate said: "Don't underestimate people, I have also studied well." β
Wu Zhenzhen stomped his feet, clasped his hands, and seemed not very happy. At this time, the manager of the ballroom came and said, "The pianist has arrived, and he will come in a moment, so don't worry." β
Chen Yeping sat behind and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" Wu Zhenzhen explained: "I'm afraid of playing the piano at night and I'm afraid of no one, so I want to find my Fa Xiaolai, but she is in a hurry to go home, and I can't keep it...... Fortunately, someone was found. Chen Yeping said strangely: "Everyone else comes here to eat, drink and have fun, it's better for you to find your own hair to play the piano, but I won't agree." β
Wu Zhenzhen waved the handkerchief to his face and said, "Let's play small together until the big one, I know her well and plays the piano well, but her house is far away, hurry back in time, otherwise the family is in a hurry." Otherwise, you will be able to hear the tunes she plays, and you will definitely not lose to those professionals. Chen Yeping said: "According to what you say, I really want to hear it once when I have the opportunity." β
