Part II, Chapter 16
Lin Shengjie and Zhu Xiaolan completed the drawings for review in a neither salty, light, nor lukewarm atmosphere, and finally successfully completed and handed them over to Party A, which can be regarded as completing the task.
On this day, Zhu Xiaolan was changing Zhang Xiu's drawings to her after correcting them, but she received a phone call, it was Zhou Jie who called, choked up and said a lot of inconsequential words, Zhu Xiaolan also answered some inexplicable questions, and finally Zhou Jie asked if he was free to show her a good thing!
Zhu Xiaolan wanted to refuse.
"Xiaolan, let's just think of it as fulfilling my dream!" Zhou Jie said with a sad look.
Zhu Xiaolan suddenly remembered the sound of the piano that night, although it didn't make her moved, but it comforted her. She relented and said, "Then I'll invite you to dinner tonight?" She didn't want to take advantage of others, so that she wouldn't feel guilty in her heart.
Zhou Jie agreed with a smile, and Zhou Jie said that he would wait at the gate of the design institute when he got off work.
Zhu Xiaolan packed up her things and went downstairs, and saw Zhou Jie standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking around. She quietly stood in the backlight and watched for a while, Zhou Jie seemed to be very irritable, constantly pacing back and forth, constantly taking out a cigarette from his pocket, taking two puffs and throwing it away and taking out another one.
Zhou Jie didn't want any results, but suddenly saw the woman he was thinking about in college, and he wanted to approach uncontrollably. It's not that he hasn't met women like Zhu Xiaolan over the years, but most of them have changed in the torrent of society, they have become more beautiful, more confident and more flamboyant, and sometimes he looks at those women and feels that the college days are like a dream, getting farther and farther away from him. But Zhu Xiaolan is still like that, with clean eyebrows and eyes, all her thoughts are on her face. made him think that the passionate youth and dreams were still there.
He dropped cigarette butts one after another, feeling that time was really hard.
Zhu Xiaolan walked out and screamed softly. Zhou Jie turned around in surprise and squinted his eyes to look her up and down. Zhu Xiaolan smiled: "Are you busy with work?"
"It's almost! I want to get together with you more before I leave!" Zhou Jie casually stopped a taxi. Carefully sent Zhu Xiaolan up, and then sat next to the driver by himself.
Zhu Xiaolan only felt uneasy in her heart, but she didn't know why. She subconsciously looked back at the old building of the design institute, and only saw a large area of green ivy wrapped around the walls of the building.
"Xiaolan, I found a good thing, I'll take you to see it first!" Zhou Jie turned around. Zhu Xiaolan replied with an uneasy expression. He bowed his head and thought about his own business.
Zhou Jie was secretly sad, how simple Zhu Xiaolandi is loved, but how hurtful it is.
The taxi ran fast, driving towards a large community under the guidance of Zhou Jie, there were brightly decorated storefronts on both sides of the road, Zhu Xiaolan looked familiar, and was secretly frightened, isn't this the street where Sister Liu's store is located?
Zhou Jie got out of the car and deliberately smiled mysteriously at Zhu Xiaolan: "I passed by here that day." When I saw a good thing, I wanted you to see it!"
Zhu Xiaolan looked around, and they were all extremely ordinary shops. … There is nothing special about the computer station, except that the store that used to eat dry pot chicken is still thriving.
The greenery outside the community is superb. There are plenty of lounge seating in the shade. Zhou Jie found Zhang clean. I took out a tissue and wiped it a few times before letting Zhu Xiaolan sit down, and Zhu Xiaolan was a little embarrassed. I don't know what Zhou Jie's idea is this time, so I was worried in my heart, so I sat down carefully and said, "What is it?"
"We'll find out later!" Zhou Jie's eyes looked in one direction, "Xiaolan, why didn't you come down that night?"
Zhu Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, how many years has this been.
"Yang Jun and I are angry, saying that you must come down in this way. He and Yang Jun both had the same thoughts, in fact, they also had the meaning of secretly fighting, to see who Zhu Xiaolan would choose, but they didn't expect her to come down at all, Zhou Yu gave two more wine bottles, and it was really embarrassing to lose face.
Zhu Xiaolan was silent, and some regrets should not have agreed.
"Later, I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out, if you came down at that time to show my so-called romance, you would not be the Zhu Xiaolan in my heart!" Zhou Jie smiled at Zhu Xiaolan, "Don't be afraid, I can't let go of this one thing, just talk." Xiaolan, have you ever had someone you like?"
Zhu Xiaolan shook her head, her world has always been boring and boring.
Zhou Jie wanted to reach out and take out a cigarette, paused, then got up, pointed to a small bright spot across the street and said, "Okay, you can see it, you see! It's seven o'clock every day, and I've been watching it for three days in a row." ”
Zhu Xiaolan saw that the window facing the street of "Everything" was lit up with a shallow light, a huge poster was posted on the glass of the window, and a white light box was also placed at the door. Zhu Xiaolan couldn't help but stand up, is that her?
"See, isn't it beautiful?" Zhou Jie's eyes were full of obsession, "You are like this in my heart." ”
With faint eyebrows and a shallow smile with a slight shyness, but her eyes were shining, Zhu Xiaolan never knew that her ordinary self could be photographed like this. She looked back in some panic, but saw nothing.
"Xiaolan, isn't it very much like you!" Zhou Jie turned his head, his eyes shining.
Zhu Xiaolan looked at him and didn't know how to answer, she only remembered that two days ago, when she was rushing for the drawings, Sister Liu called and said that the promotional picture was out, and she could look at it when she had time. But she never thought that Zhou Jie wanted her to see this thing.
"It's very similar, right? I was shocked when I saw it for the first time that night, how could there be such a similar person in the world?" Zhou Jie's tone was full of incredulity, he glanced at Zhu Xiaolan and then at the woman in the night.
Zhu Xiaolan opened her mouth slightly, that woman, it's not her, it's not her at all. It was just a rigid face, a woman who didn't move on paper, smiling forever but didn't know why. She didn't want to admit that the woman who smiled as if she was happy was herself.
Zhou Jie looked at the woman's face very happy, Zhu Xiaolan looked up at him, and she had a feeling for a moment. Has this Zhou Jie always liked her Zhu Xiaolan, or did he like the Zhu Xiaolan that Zhou Jie imagined himself?
"Let's go to dinner!" Zhu Xiaolan said lightly.
Zhou Jie came back to his senses and said uneasily: "Are you unhappy?"
Zhu Xiaolan smiled and said, "No." I don't think so!"
Zhou Jie was a little disappointed, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Let's go there and eat!"
Zhu Xiaolan shook her head. She said, "I know a good place to eat, I'll take you there!"
Zhou Jie had to agree, and the two took a taxi to the place where Zhu Xiaolan said to eat beef.
Zhu Xiaolan fiddled with the white beef soup and said, "Zhou Jie, look." I don't understand your ....... Romantic!"
Zhou Jieqiang smiled: "No, no, I just feel like you!" His heart is actually a little cold, he is extravagant, he thinks that if he puts this in front of Zhu Xiaolan, she will love and experience his hard work, but he ignores Zhu Xiaolan. Yes, he was just immersed in the romance he had created, thinking that Zhu Xiaolan would be very moved to his arms like a woman in the movie. He overestimated himself and underestimated Zhu Xiaolan.
"Zhou Jie, what I don't like the most is your so-called dream!" Yang Jun said of him. He didn't want to admit it, but now he had to.
Zhu Xiaolan warmly beckoned the waiter to add water and tea, completely changing her restrained appearance when eating with Lin Shengjie. She even had a kind of angry thought, does Zhou Jie like that shy and shy Zhu Xiaolan. She wasn't.
During the banquet, Zhou Jie tried his best to liven up the atmosphere. Zhu Xiaolan cooperated with him with full attention, and the two of them talked about some interesting stories about their teachers in college. I laughed a few times too. Zhou Jie drank the broth, smashed his lips, and seemed to have nothing to say after saying this.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Zhu Xiaolan asked with a smile, "I see that many people on the class webpage are getting married and having children, what about you? When will there be good news?"
Zhou Jie smiled, "I'm busy with work, run a few more places while I'm single, I won't have a chance to get married!"
Zhu Xiaolan nodded, "You played the piano downstairs that night, it's actually quite good." However, I think if you chase your wife in the future, it's best to tell her directly that you like her. ”
Zhou Jie didn't understand.
Zhu Xiaolan smiled, "How many of our scientific women can be romantic?" Well, Zhou Yu also knows that you are betting." ”
Zhou Jie was embarrassed, laughed, picked up the cup and had to have a drink with Zhu Xiaolan, he felt that the matter he had cared about for so long was actually a joke.
After the two finished eating, Zhou Jie wanted to send Zhu Xiaolan back, Zhu Xiaolan excused herself, she got into a taxi, Zhou Jie stood on the side of the road and watched, Zhu Xiaolan turned around and waited until she couldn't see Zhou Jie's shadow before telling the driver the address of "everything".
Zhu Xiaolan stood across the street from afar and looked at the bright light box, and many women came out of the small shop with smiles on their faces. Zhu Xiaolan watched it for a long time, and her legs were a little sore.
The mobile phone rang, Zhu Xiaolan looked at it, it was Lin Shengjie's number, she connected, "Lin Gong, is there a problem with the drawing?"
Lin Shengjie felt helpless, the first thing Zhu Xiaolan said in the past few days was this, he was silent for a while, and said, "Where are you?"
Zhu Xiaolan smiled and said, "I just finished eating, and I'm looking at something?"
Lin Shengjie wanted to hang up the phone, he felt that he was very undignified to do so. At that time, he was standing next to the office of the interior decoration team of the design institute, and when he looked out, he saw Zhu Xiaolan going downstairs, he thought it was strange for her to get off work on time, and was about to touch the phone to talk to her, but saw her walking towards a man.
How strange is this, Zhu Xiaolan, who has always made simple friends, would take the initiative to contact a man? Lin Shengjie's face changed a little at that time, and he absentmindedly handed over the work to other designers and then drove around the street, and after shopping for a long time, he parked the car at the door of Zhu Xiaolan's community, and he didn't see her go home for a long time, and finally couldn't help but call.
"With a man?" Lin Shengjie was angry.
Zhu Xiaolan heard that tone, and her heart was not happy, and she said stiffly: "Yes!"
Lin Shengjie was silent for a moment and said, "Then you are alone now?"
Zhu Xiaolan smiled again and said, "I saw a good thing, took a picture to show you?" After speaking, he hung up the phone, took a picture of the light box and the huge poster across the street and sent it to Lin Shengjie.
A moment later, the phone rang again.
"Isn't it pretty?"
"It's too small, I can't see it clearly!" Lin Shengjie's voice was obviously much more relaxed, "You stay there, I'll pick you up!"
"Okay!" Zhu Xiaolan hung up the phone and found a chair to sit down.
She stomped her feet lightly, looking at the picture and laughing, although it didn't seem to be her, but it couldn't be denied that it was beautiful, especially at night.
Lin Shengjie's car circled along the street, and finally found Zhu Xiaolan sitting obediently on the chair, he honked the horn a few times, Zhu Xiaolan looked up suddenly, and then ran over with a smile, in an urgent mood, like a child who had an opportunity to be recognized, and said: "Look, it's very good-looking!"
"So happy, ask Sister Liu for one!" After speaking, he helped her open the door.
Zhu Xiaolan sat up and said a little embarrassed: "Forget it, just take a look!"
Lin Shengjie carried Zhu Xiaolan away, and felt that this small carriage was particularly warm today.
