Li Xiaoyan opened the invitation and saw that it was printed:

Venue: Paris Hall, 8th Floor, Riverside Hotel

As you know, I love to be busy, and I think you won't turn down my invitation, and I'll be glad to welcome you. You can also bring your friends along and we can get to know each other. Students can bring a maximum of one rose as a gift, and other gifts will not be accepted.

Your friend: Tang Mei. Date.

Li Xiaoyan looked at it carefully and said, "Where is the Riverside Hotel?" Tang Mei said: "Baidu." Li Xiaoyan said: "You can bring at most one rose, that is, you can also bring nothing and eat it for nothing?" Tang Mei said: "Yes, as long as you arrive." Li Xiaoyan said: "So solemn? No problem. ”

Although Li Xiaoyan has heard of a birthday party, the people around him really haven't held it. My birthday is just cake and two eggs in the morning, noodles at noon, and hasty in the evening as usual. Birthday party? There will be abalone porridge and steamed king eight.

There was a stop on the bus to the Binjiang Hotel, and Li Xiaoyan did not wear a school uniform, but wore clean casual clothes. I never knew that there was such a luxurious place in Xuchang City, everything was shiny, Li Xiaoyan felt that he had gone abroad, and for the first time, he was treated by the standard of a waiter like a cartoon character, and stepped on the soft carpet to the Paris Hall. Li Xiaoyan originally thought that it was Tang Mei's friends who got together to make a delicious meal, but when she came, she realized that it was not. Not only many adults, but also those who still have to attend in formal attire and wear dresses. Li Xiaoyan felt that he had crossed over, to the medieval court in Europe, and he was going to curtsy when he saw people. She stood cautiously against the wall, at a loss, if she hadn't inquired and the scene of Tang Mei's birthday banquet was marked outside the Paris hall, she really suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.

A tall young man in a suit and leather shoes walked in front of him, Li Xiaoyan looked up, a gentle and fair-skinned man, who seemed to be a few years older than himself, picked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "How is it?" Confused, right? This is the world of celebrities and ladies. He bypassed Li Xiaoyan, stood behind Li Xiaoyan, bent down and put his head on Li Xiaoyan's shoulder, and said in Li Xiaoyan's ear: "Ugly duckling, it's very eye-opening, right?" Look at it, the world of the rich, the shiny jewels on the women, the spotless shirts under the men's fancy suits. Li Xiaoyan turned his head, withdrew to face him one meter away, and said, "I can't see it, I'll come to see the bowl of braised lion's head and the tabletop big Wang Ba soup, and I'm not interested in the rest." The man straightened up and said, "I've seen you, Li Xiaoyan, who took Tang Mei, just climbed the ladder of high society, and I can't see at all that you are quite scheming." ”

Li Xiaoyan frowned and said, "Look, when I met you, I was really unappetizing, although I didn't come for you, but I was for you." Li Xiaoyan walked around the man with his head held high, and the man grabbed Li Xiaoyan's wrist and said, "Just kidding, why be so serious?" Tang Mei sincerely invited you to come, you left without saying hello, it's too rude, right? Li Xiaoyan said: "We are not so particular about the children of poor families. The man curled the corners of his mouth and said, "But you've come to a place where you're fine." I couldn't help but say, pulled Li Xiaoyan and left, Li Xiaoyan struggled, the man didn't look very strong, but his hand strength was very big, Li Xiaoyan didn't want to smash Tang Mei's field, thinking that he was just letting her go to see Tang Mei, so he pushed the boat down the river, twisted his eyebrows and was dragged away by him.

Tang Mei was wearing a pink low-cut dress, followed by two women with exquisite makeup, and when she saw Li Xiaoyan and the man together, she looked surprised and said, "You know?" The man said, "What is the strange?" Tang Mei said: "That's right, you help me take care of my smile, take good care of it, don't slack off." The man said, "You don't need to say it, we're going to talk about it." Li Xiaoyan said, "Who is he?" I hate him. Tang Mei said with a smile: "Gao Zeyu, our family is a good friend, four high." Although the speech is harsh, the person is okay, and you will know it after a long time. Li Xiaoyan glanced at Gao Zeyu, thinking that he was just a stranger, he didn't have to worry too much, and he really didn't understand, after this time, he would never see him again, and he didn't need to understand, he had an opinion in his heart, and he didn't argue with Tang Mei, nodded at Gao Zeyu, glanced at it, and looked lazily at the second glance. Tang Mei said to Li Xiaoyan: "Although this is my birthday party, I have to listen to my parents, my friends have been scattered by my parents, and the rest are what I don't like but they like, so I won't introduce them to you." Li Xiaoyan said: "I seem to feel that I shouldn't come." Tang Mei said: "I want you to know about my life, in case one day I am at the mercy of my parents to death, you will really put a white rose on my grave." Li Xiaoyan said, "Okay." Gao Zeyu said: "It's starting to take off the line again." ”

The birthday party began, with various speeches, and then a documentary of Tang Mei's growth and their family business over the past year, and then various programs, and at six o'clock in the evening, it was finally time to eat, Li Xiaoyan ate a lot of things that she had not eaten, and Gao Zeyu had been by her side to give her vegetables. Li Xiaoyan didn't take him seriously in his heart, didn't pay attention to it or refused, and happily ate a meal by himself. In the second year of high school, Li Xiaoyan had experience, arrived at six o'clock, said hello to Tang Mei when he arrived, and sat down to eat. Gao Zeyu went to college and never saw him again. In the third year of high school this year, Li Xiaoyan came for the third time.

After saying hello to Tang Mei, Li Xiaoyan found a place to sit down and wait for dinner. A tall figure sat next to him in the corner of his eye, and Li Xiaoyan didn't care. I've been here twice, Li Xiaoyan didn't make any acquaintances here, but the doorman brother recognized her, and when she entered the door, he smiled at her and said, "Hey, you're here?" ”

When Li Xiaoyan looked at the mouth of the dish, he found that the person next to him was sitting upright, and glanced at him, hey, it was the Yingting man in the school, in casual clothes, Li Xiaoyan felt that only he and himself were in civilian clothes among these people, and his impression got better. Because he had relieved himself of the siege, Li Xiaoyan looked at him gently and kindly, and said, "Hello." Ying Tingnan nodded and said, "Do you know Tang Mei?" Li Xiaoyan said, "Classmate." Ying Tingnan nodded and said, "Do you want to know?" Li Xiaoyan said, "Who?" Ying Tingnan said, "Me." Li Xiaoyan said, "Are you?" Ying Tingnan said: "Class 7 Cheng Donghao." Li Xiaoyan said: "A class of Li Xiaoyan." ”

Cheng Donghao said: "Your name doesn't live up to the truth." Li Xiaoyan said: "How do you say it? Cheng Donghao said: "I haven't seen you laugh yet." Li Xiaoyan said: "A laugh without reason is a smirk." Cheng Donghao said: "The smile I am talking about is not the kind of grinning smile, but the kind of joy that is always revealed by a joyful attitude, such as when you see me, you should smile." I'm kind, handsome, excellent, helpful, don't have any bad habits, and I'm a wonderful person. Li Xiaoyan said, "I don't know." Cheng Donghao said: "Okay, I'll give you time." Li Xiaoyan said in her heart: Is it necessary? He said, "My favorite is the finger-sucking tea fragrant arctic shrimp, roasted sea cucumber in sauce, colorful salmon floss, three vegetables boiled deer fresh, and matcha red bean mousse cake." Cheng Donghao said: "If you are with me, I will do it for you." Li Xiaoyan's eyes widened, looked at Cheng Donghao, and said, "How is it possible?" Cheng Donghao said: "How is it impossible? Are you saying I can't cook for you, or are you saying you can't be with me? Li Xiaoyan said: "It seems impossible." Cheng Donghao said: "Wait and see." ”

Li Xiaoyan took a meal as usual, Cheng Donghao didn't eat much, he kept looking at Li Xiaoyan, and Li Xiaoyan only had a new dish in his eyes: roasted whole sheep with secret sauce. Li Xiaoyan finished wiping his mouth, stood up and left, Cheng Donghao said, "I'll send you." Li Xiaoyan said, "No." Walking straight out, Cheng Donghao followed closely and said, "I'll drive you." Li Xiaoyan said: "It is very convenient for me to take the bus, and I am at the door of my community. Cheng Donghao said: "Am I so bad? In your eyes? Li Xiaoyan said: "No, I'm not on the way with you, if you send me specifically, I will feel that I owe you a favor, and the debt must be repaid, you know?" Cheng Donghao said: "Even if you are an ordinary friend, what do you have to send it every night?" Don't you return. Li Xiaoyan said: "If you know that one thing is impossible, don't pay it, it's good for you and others." Cheng Donghao said: "I enjoy the process, at the moment I think it is enjoyment, I will do it, I don't ask the result, I am for the present." Li Xiaoyan said: "I don't believe in people who don't ask about the results. Cheng Donghao said: "Life itself is a process, if you cling to the so-called results, you will only get disappointment." Li Xiaoyan glanced at him helplessly and said, "Okay, that's tired." ”

During Monday's recess, Tang Mei asked Li Xiaoyan, "Who sent you away yesterday?" Li Xiaoyan said: "Cheng Donghao from Class 7." Tang Mei said: "Boyfriend? How long has it been? Didn't introduce me to it? Li Xiaoyan said, "Don't you know?" Tang Mei said: "Of course I don't know, you didn't say it." Li Xiaoyan said: "I didn't know each other before." Tang Mei said, "Didn't you bring it?" Li Xiaoyan said: "No." Tang Mei said: "That's strange, I don't know it." Li Xiaoyan said: "Do you want to eat white food?" Tang Mei said: "I heard that he drove a Humvee, how could he sneak in for a stutter?" Li Xiaoyan said, "That's what your parents invited you to go?" The child of the world? Tang Mei said: "How could I not know about the world? Upstart, perhaps? It's not impossible, I'll inquire. ”
