Chapter 60: Acquaintances
The next message was sent at around 11 o'clock last night: The matter has been satisfactorily resolved, and Wu Yiqiu of the Charity Fund called me several times one day, saying that he wanted to see you. When do you have time? I'll pick you up.
The last one was at 4:10 a.m. today: I'm sorry, I blame you.
At four o'clock in the morning, Tang Wan hadn't slept yet.
Is it because of work, or because I am wrong, feeling guilty and unable to sleep?
I was thinking about it when my phone rang again, and Tang Wan sent me another message: Are you at home? I'm going to look for you now.
After staring at the phone for a while, I sent a message back to Tang Wan: Don't come here, I'm sleeping.
Under the effect of time, the anger in my heart dissipated a little, but this time I still didn't think about how to face Tang Wan, and I didn't want to see her.
The phone rang, and Tang Wan called directly.
After a long ring, I finally answered: "What's the matter?"
"You get up and get dressed, and I'll pick you up. Tang Wan said, "Just have dinner together." ”
"I'm not hungry. "I'm actually a little hungry, but I don't want to see Tang Wan yet, and the pimple in my heart hasn't gone away.
"I'm already on my way, about twenty minutes away. "Tang Wan didn't listen to me.
"I'm not hungry, you don't have to do this, now that the matter has been settled, then I will resign, there is no need to meet again or eat. I said.
"I'll give you a commission. Tang Wan said, "Okay, don't talk about it, I'll be there soon, driving a car, it's dangerous to call." ”
Tang Wan hung up the phone.
I sat on the bed and was stunned for a while, but finally got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs.
It was inappropriate for Tang Wan to come to me in the room.
After waiting for a few minutes at the gate of the community, Tang Wan arrived.
"Let's go, let's go to dinner together. Tang Wan got out of the car and walked over to me.
She was not wearing formal office clothes today, she was wearing a long black down jacket, she looked very slim, standing beside me, looking at me.
"With Wendi and them?" had already come out, I didn't excuse myself anymore, and followed Tang Wan into the car.
"No, just the two of us. Tang Wan said.
I was a little stunned, I didn't expect that it was just me and Tang Wan, which made me a little restless, and my resentment towards Tang Wan had faded a lot, but my feelings for Tang Wan in high school also seemed to have changed unconsciously.
There is no apprehension, less heartbeat, only embarrassment.
Her distrust of me crushed the affection for her in my heart, and I was cold, and now I am afraid to be alone with her, because I don't know what to talk to her again.
"Isn't this the route to our high school?" I asked, looking out the window.
"Well, yes. Tang Wan nodded, and the car turned to a parking space on the side of the road, "It's here." ”
"There's still some way to go. I reminded.
"I know, but I want to go down and walk around, can you walk with me?" Tang Wan seemed to be praying to me.
It's like she's back in high school, she needs my help with everything, and she loves to be with me.
I got out of the car, followed her, and walked slowly down the street.
"You already know that one day the charity fund actually donated money to Zheng Wensen, right?" After walking for a while, Tang Wan spoke.
"It's settled, and it doesn't make much sense to talk about anything else. "I don't want to talk about it anymore, although I was drunk that day, but Tang Wan's words questioning me are still like shrapnel remaining in my body, which will involve my nerves from time to time and make me feel pain.
"Why didn't you explain it to me and ran out?" Tang Wan said.
When I heard this, I was a little angry, I thought that Tang Wan would apologize to me as in the message, so that I might feel a little better.
At least there will be no re-gassing.
But she blamed me for not explaining it to her.
"Is it any difference whether you explain or not, you don't believe me anymore anyway, since this is the case, there is no need to explain. I said.
Tang Wan was silent for a while, and her pace slowed down: "Explain earlier, there won't be anything like that in the future, there will be so much trouble." I suspect you're really mine, but when I ask you, wouldn't it be nice if you explained it clearly? Do you know how much trouble you caused us by running out?"
"Trouble?" I laughed, "did you come all the way to blame me, and since you don't believe me, what's the point of me staying?"
Tang Wan didn't speak for a long time.
She really didn't believe me.
"Where are you going to eat?" My anger came up again, but this time I didn't leave again, and there should be a result between me and Tang Wan, this meal should be regarded as a casual meal.
"It's all changed, there were no parks along the lake, just dirt roads. Tang Wan didn't answer my words, looked at the scene on the side, and said.
Tang Wan is right, in the past, this side still belonged to the countryside, the suburbs of the city, the surrounding houses have not been demolished, the park along the lake has not been built, and there are some dirt roads by the lake.
But I don't know what she's doing with that.
Could it be that she is nostalgic and nostalgic for the past?
"Chen Jin, do you know, I used to believe in you very much. Tang Wan suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at me, "But I can't always believe you." ”
I looked at her, I don't know why, Tang Wan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
I hope she can continue to explain.
"When things change, everything changes, and people change with them. Tang Wan looked at the lake, and there was a faint light circulating in her eyes.
I was a little stunned, and when I was about to see more clearly, Tang Wan had already turned her head: "Walk two or three hundred meters further, let's go to the front to eat." ”
Along the way, Tang Wan and I didn't talk anymore, and walked towards the place where Tang Wan said.
When I got to this place, it seemed that my relationship with her had come to an end.
Wu Dong and I have been here before, but I feel that everything has changed, and there is no taste before, so I bought some food and ran into the school.
Tang Wan seemed to be familiar with this place, led me around, and then went up to the third floor of a building.
This place is very deep, ordinary people will not come at all, Tang Wan seems to be looking for something with a purpose.
I saw a signboard, very simple, hanging on the wall, and the words "steamed restaurant" made me feel very familiar.
"Let's go eat steamed vegetables. Tang Wan said to me.
I followed her and entered the steaming restaurant with a hint of doubt.
"What do you want to eat?" The owner of the steamed vegetable restaurant smiled kindly when he saw Tang Wan.
The owner's face is familiar, but I'm not quite sure yet.
Tang Wan didn't ask me, she directly ordered a few steamed dishes, the steamed dishes were ready-made, and they were quickly served on the table and placed in front of me and Tang Wan, Tang Wan helped me wash the tableware with boiling water and handed me the chopsticks.
This scene, so familiar, makes my memory seem to open the floodgates: "This steamed restaurant is the steamed restaurant in the previous high school?"
"Hmm. Tang Wan nodded, "It's changed a lot, right?"
"There are some, but there are a lot of familiar places. When I saw the sign, I thought it was strange, I didn't expect it to be this steamed restaurant. "This steamed restaurant was opened when I was in high school before, the business is very good, Tang Wan and I often visit, I originally thought that because of the demolition, the steamed restaurant may have changed places, or closed, but I didn't expect it to be still there.
I didn't notice this steamed restaurant when I came with Wu Dong before, this place is too remote to find.
And the actual situation in the store is the same, this order is the time for meals, but there are not many people in the store. I tasted it, and the food didn't taste bad, it was still the same as before.
The price of things has basically not changed much, and it is only a dollar or two more expensive than in high school.
This is already very conscientious.
But there's still not much business.
"Boss, where are your parents, why are you doing your work alone?" I said hello to my boss.
The owner is not very old, about twenty years old.
"Do you know my parents?" the boss looked at me.
"I studied here in high school, and I often went to your steamed restaurant to eat. I smiled and said that it is always so easy to be happy to meet familiar people.
The boss's name is Li Mingzhou, he was only twelve or thirteen years old in high school, and he often goes to the store after school to help, or to write homework, I go to their store many times, and I am relatively familiar with his parents, and I will also help him with his homework at the request of his parents.
"My mom is sick and hasn't been in the store for two years, and my dad is at home to take care of her and occasionally comes to the store to help. Li Mingzhou said to me, "How is the food, has the taste changed?"
