004: Good wine
Shu Tao reviewed the experience of last night, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, took out the phone and dialed Liu Lixuan's number: "Hey, Liu Lixuan, I was annoyed by one thing." Do you know the netizen Wang Xu who I told you about before who feels quite handsome? I was drunk last night, and I don't know who I offended, and I was worried about him this morning, so I called him, but I was humiliated, saying that I lost his person last night, you say, why am I so unladylike?"
"What's wrong, or you come to me tonight, and I'll send you the location later. Lixuan said tepidly.
"Okay, well, I met you tonight, especially the words said by his friends, which are particularly ugly, how did he meet a friend like me?
It's funny to say, his friends are not any kind of heads and faces, but some hair salons cut their hair, and I'm really angry when they talk about me like this. ”
"Don't bother yourself, let's meet today. You see you've been back for so long, and now you can only think of me. Lixuan was still slow.
"I also knew you were busy, so I didn't have time to bother you. Now I'm on fire and need someone to help me rejuvenate, so we'll see you at the bar that night. ”
Liu Lixuan is a man Shu Tao met the year before last, and he is the individual owner of a decoration company he met when he participated in real estate activities with her father, he is about the same age as Wang Xu, and his appearance is not inferior to Wang Xu, but he is thinner.
Shu Tao was also emotionally attached to Li Xuan at the beginning, but Li Xuan has always regarded Shu Tao as his friend, and he has nothing else to think about.
Lixuan has always been alone, I heard him talk about his ex-girlfriend before, and it was only a few strokes, and he didn't go into too much detail, in the eyes of Shutao, Lixuan is only loyal to his career, his life is simple and procedural, and there is no superfluous emotional experience.
After several temptations, seeing that Lixuan had no other response, he naturally regarded him as a friend.
In Shutao's heart, Liu Lixuan has always been a rational man.
Such men are very cold, they never promise women, because they know that they can't afford to promise, so they have reservations about the love words or lies that must be said in order to create a romance.
It is precisely because of this straightforward discussion of things that Shu Tao feels safe in front of Liu Lixuan, and there is no need to whitewash the mask and pretend.
In the evening, Shutao ate the food cooked by Sister Ling, and then dressed up and prepared to go out.
She didn't know whether she would see Lixuan alone today or a few of his friends at the same time, so she only dared to go out with light makeup.
Although she felt in her heart that Wang Xu was just exaggerating when she said that she was embarrassed, or deliberately set a trap for her to jump in, she still felt a little apprehensive when she thought about it.
When you go out to meet people tonight, you can't just ignore it like last night, and say anything. After all, it is good to see each other in the future.
Last night's blow was indeed the greatest humiliation Shu Tao had ever suffered, she had lived in the cheers and praise of relatives and friends since she was a child, and even her mother praised her among relatives and friends.
But sometimes Shutao gets tired and doesn't believe in the cheers and praises of the outside world, as she gets older, she finds that some cheers and praises are useless, and the only thing that can make her reborn is often those strange eyes and voices, and even sometimes she only needs to be slapped in the face, just like being humiliated by Wang Xu today.
Compared with her sister, the brilliance that has lingered on her body since she was a child cannot be underestimated, and her sister is not a good girl in the eyes of her mother, but like a demon king of the world, she does not seek her to become a dragon and a phoenix, but only asks her to keep to herself and spend this life ordinarily.
Her sister has always been unrestrained and unafraid of cause and effect. She sometimes admired and admired her sister's little bit of manly courage and fearlessness.
To live in this world, a woman should at least have the cheerfulness and freedom of a man like her sister, and a man should also have a bit of a woman's style and delicacy like Lixuan.
Slowly, she found that those men who did not live well in this life often had a lot of women's hypocrisy and stinginess, and those women who never lived their own lives were mostly not well cultivated in their bones, either too rough, or too little respect for themselves as women.
Shu Tao looked at herself in the mirror, with a beautiful face, but she still felt dissatisfied.
She subconsciously felt that whether it was the elegance of boiling cranes and burning the qin, or the extreme luxury of the wine pond and meat forest, as long as a woman applied powder to the face of the person, in her unpredictable expression, only the word "vulgar" jumped out.
But men like women with heavy makeup, after all, women should be like chickens wearing jade and delicate heads in the fireworks alley of the Ming Dynasty.
But after several times of being displaced, he couldn't get the slightest bit in the hearts of men, and in the end he was blamed for being a red face and a disaster, just like the purple and red fandel, which would eventually be washed away and abandoned by men in nightmares.
Maybe it's even more pathetic, not to mention a dream, even if it's a nightmare for a man, it's not qualified. In the end, she couldn't resist her inner struggle, no matter what kind of unbearable name she was called, at least she was beautiful at that moment.
She drew her eyebrows and lips unhurriedly, and tried her best to apply her makeup to the extreme, so that she dared to go out to meet people. No matter how beautiful this woman is, as long as she is stained with makeup, it will be endless.
Confidence and self-knowledge are completely blurred by these oil paint powders, and sometimes I really can't tell which is the real self without makeup and myself with makeup.
At night, after putting on makeup, she swayed to the bar that Lixuan said and walked up to the second floor. Not far away, in the dim light, a man faces his laptop, his face whitened with the flickering light of the screen.
This is Li Xuan, since he met, he has never changed the appearance when they first met, he is the kind of man who is not easy to age.
Across from him sat a woman, slightly chubby and with a face like goose eggs, who from time to time picked up the drink in her hand and drank it to herself, both of them silent.
Seeing Shu Tao walking to him, he just raised his head and glanced at it, then asked Shu Tao to sit down, and his eyes turned to the computer again.
Shu Tao beat a drum in his heart, and this man was so cold that he ignored him.
She looked at his laptop screen, and there was nothing to do at work, it was just an online game, could she use it so attentively?
A bottle of champagne that he was familiar with was placed on the table, and in an instant, Shu Tao felt that the person he saw today was the person who walked side by side with him, but he put down a boulder in his heart.
The woman on the opposite side looked at the book, and when she saw the atmosphere, she was a little embarrassed, so she said: "Look at him, like a demon, he hasn't stopped since I came, let me aside, I actually watched him play a game like a puppet like this all night, fortunately you came, and finally had a companion to talk to." My name is Yang Erman, I must be a lot older than you, and I am also an old-timer, so I will be called Sister Erman in the future. ”
Shu Tao's instant affection for this woman doubled, and her mood gradually calmed down: "My name is Qu Shutao, I just graduated from college, and Lixuan is a friend I met the year before last, and I haven't seen it a few times, I returned to China this time, and I don't have any friends and playmates at the moment. Nice to meet you, Sister Erman. ”
Li Xuan took a sip of tea and spoke: "Shutao, I'm sorry, you guys talk first, I'll be done soon, this game is very important, I'll talk to you later." ”
Erman threw a ghost eye at Shutao and said, "In which country did you go to school before?"
"In France, I studied fashion design, and now I work in the sales department of a real estate company. Sister Erman, what about you?"
"Working in an insurance company. She smiled and continued, "It seems that they are all in sales, you know, it is not easy to do sales, especially women, although they make a lot of money, they all have to rely on this mouth, usually around the customer, overtime, the day when the time off work is never calculated." As long as the customer makes a phone call, he is busy, and he has no time to give himself a vacation, let alone find a boyfriend to fall in love, to put it bluntly, it is like marrying a job, how can there be time to meet a man, you say yes. ”
"I've only been doing it for a short time, and I don't have any customers to maintain yet, but my sister reminds me to think about whether I will stay in this position for a long time. ”
"Hey, young man, you still have to plan for yourself early. You see that at the beginning, my eyes only looked at the high commission, and in the eyes of the money, I never thought that the follow-up would be difficult to ride a tiger. These customers have also become friends, and they also have some feelings. Even if you don't have feelings, you say that at my age, how can you change careers and find another place to make a living? They all say that entering the industry is like getting married, a few years go around every week, if you can get by, you will naturally have to get by, as long as the company does not dismiss, just like the husband does not divorce, grit his teeth, and it will be a day by day. ”
"If you say that, Sister Erman is already married. ”
"No, what kind of marriage, didn't I tell you, I don't even have time to fall in love, how can I get married. Besides, none of the men have a reliable job. I can't urge it at home, but I can't find a suitable one. Don't laugh at me, my father asked me yesterday if I like women! If I really like women, then I am so busy with work, and I don't have time to build a foundation, right? These are just empirical talks and some insights after insight into the world. Erman took a sip of his tea and looked at the book carefully.
After a while, Lixuan closed the notebook, stretched and asked, "Say, what's going on?"
Shu Tao told them everything about the cause and effect of the matter, and after listening, Li Xuan just smiled faintly, as if listening to a child talk to him about something that didn't seem to matter to him at all.
Li Xuan said: "I heard you say this, these friends are not worth associating, if there is nothing to do in the future, call me, our friends are also people who are much older than you, for the matter of drunken gaffes, they will not go to their hearts, they will only take care of you." Besides, you are only pampered, and your temper is a little proud, and those people know that they are not as good as you, and they are ashamed of themselves and want to play tricks on you, what effect does it have on you? ”
Shu Tao glanced at the champagne that had been locked as soon as he came, and looked at the body of the wine bottle, the transparent glass coat lightly wrapped around the flower buds, and the natural and fluent lines showed a graceful beauty, continuing the ultimate aesthetics of this brand.
The spiral-shaped bottle twists and turns, the glass is translucent and clear, swaying in the dim interior light, and the pale golden syrup reflects a halo of luxury.
Shu Tao knew at a glance that this wine in front of him was Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque "Light and Shadow" Blanc in Blanc Limited Edition Champagne. This bottle of wine is sold for about 4,500 yuan per bottle, which is the top grade in champagne.
Shutao thought to himself, people like Lixuan are the ones who walk side by side with their quality of life, Wang Xu's friends who drink beer like drinking water, how can they be compared with Lixuan?
She picked up a tulip cup and rolled it down her throat, cloves and unripe white fruits, mixed with candied citrus, vanilla and cream, complex, detailed and layered.
The bubbles in the glass seem to stretch the time.
This champagne is light and fresh, fresh and charming, and it would be perfect if it could be accompanied by caviar or shellfish, but unfortunately there are only some seasonal fruits and french fries in the tea tray under the eyes.
Shu Tao was happy with a hint of sadness, and said: "Such a waste, you actually entertained me with such a good wine." ”
"It seems that you are quite knowledgeable, and you can tell at a glance that this wine is not bad. Li Xuan smiled and said, and Erman on the other side also raised his wine glass and tasted it slowly.
Shu Tao hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, when I look at this bottle, I feel that it is expensive, and I feel that the bottle is worth a lot of money." ”
Li Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "No wonder that group of people didn't give you a good face last night." ”
Shu Tao was puzzled, and felt that he had said something wrong, so he might as well ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's not that you don't like what you say, but you don't like it!" Li Xuan shook the champagne in his hand and continued, "Originally, you are very familiar with this wine, and when you sit down, you look at this wine, and the whole person is in a much better state than before you sit down, but after drinking, you pretend to be a layman, which will make people think that you are arrogant and condescending, and your heart is too heavy!"
After being said by Lixuan, Shutao's eyes drooped, and she saw Erman's smile and calm, she said: "Okay, that's right! I bought a bottle in France last year, and I tasted it, and today I taste it again, just like old friends drinking old wine, and my heart is full of joy!"
Li Xuan continued: "It's a pity that there is no food that can match it today, it's a pity! This wine came at the wrong time, and everyone was wronged." But think about it from another angle, this is life...... There are always some regrets, but in the meantime, as long as the people who drink don't care, the wine is still good wine, and the taste of the food is naturally not bad.
The man in front of him woke up Shu Tao with a bottle of wine, comparing the good wine at the moment to Shu Tao, and the unworthy food to those uninvited guests last night, which made the discomfort in Shu Tao's heart disappear.
Last night's wine made Shu Tao intoxicated, but today's wine woke me up in my sleep.
also taught the book peach, put down the body in time, taste a sip of good wine, and taste a mouthful of omnivorous, it is the freedom in the world.
