Chapter 82: That Innocence

After Zheng Yang and Ke Lan discussed the specific details, they met again in three days, after all, this can be regarded as a business deal, and they have to do some foreshadowing first, if a large group takes the initiative to come to the door to cooperate with a small company, this is really a bit abrupt, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the strangeness inside.

The night of Shanghai is filled with lights and blurs a layer of yellow halo, Zheng Yang drove the car, wandering slowly on the road of Shanghai, seeing where the scenery is good, is to find a place, stop the car, take out a cigarette, and enjoy the scenery of Shanghai.

Walking and stopping all the way, before he knew it, Zheng Yang walked into an alley, which was built during the Republic of China, and the mossy foundation showed the age of the alley, the lights were much dimmer here, and the night sky became much brighter.

Zheng Yang liked this alley very much, that is, he walked towards the depths of the alley, and after a while, a burst of low singing came, Zheng Yang followed the singing, but saw an open-air small restaurant appear in front of his eyes, people were eating skewers here, drinking beer, and there was a woman with a ponytail playing the guitar on a platform not far away, singing in a low voice.

The song sung by the ponytail woman belongs to the folk style, melodious, and people can't help but fall into the story depicted in the lyrics, plus the ponytail woman's voice is a little hoarse, which can't help but add a touch of brilliance to this song.

Zheng Yang found a place, a little boy came up and asked Zheng Yang what he wanted to eat, Zheng Yang was very surprised by the age of the little boy, this little boy was only eleven or twelve years old.

"Do you have anything special here?" Zheng Yang asked.

"Our roasted kidneys here are the best, do you want to have one, big brother?" The little boy said innocently.

Zheng Yang glanced at the food on the other people's tables, and there was indeed a plate of roasted kidneys, maybe the roasted kidneys here were indeed worth tasting.

"Ten roasted garlic, ten roasted kidneys, ten roasted leeks, and a draft beer for me." Zheng Yang smiled faintly.

"Okay." As the boy spoke, he rushed to the oven, took out the skewers very skillfully and began to roast them, Zheng Yang looked at the man's sweaty appearance, and his heart was silent for a while.

When the little boy had made all the skewers, he hurriedly brought it to Zheng Yang, and brought beer again, and he was busy paying for other tables, Zheng Yang looked at the busy figure of the little boy, and smiled faintly, all of this he did was so smooth, it seems that he has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

Zheng Yang took a bite of the kidney, his mouth was full of fishy smell, the taste was not bad, but it was a little raw, but since it was baked by a little boy, Zheng Yang couldn't say anything, so he had to eat the kidneys and look at the woman singing on the stage.

The woman was a little tired of singing, so she lit a cigarette for herself, she painted very thick eyeliner and eye shadow, and her red lips looked at the audience silently, smoking and spitting smoke.

Zheng Yang took a sip of beer, a little bored, sitting here just wanted to listen to the woman sing, but the woman stopped singing, Zheng Yang just lost interest in continuing to stay here.

Just when Zheng Yang was about to get up and leave, the woman's cigarette was also finished, she cleared her throat, and said a little hoarsely: "A song of Song Dongye's Guan Yibei, give it to everyone." ”

The woman plucked the strings and sang the favorite folk song of Zheng Yang's college days, listening to it, she couldn't help but think of what happened when she was in college in Wuxi, a slightly bitter beer poured into her spleen and stomach, Zheng Yang began to feel a little dizzy, at this moment, a woman sat in front of her, Zheng Yang laughed at her for drinking far less than before, and she began to hallucinate after drinking so little.

"Lin Xi?"

Zheng Yang rubbed his eyes, and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, she was wearing a ponytail very casually, wearing a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, and a pair of white canvas shoes on her feet.

"Sister Lin Xi, you're here, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you." The little boy ran over very enthusiastically and looked at Zheng Yang with some hostility.

"Xiaohu, bring two bottles of beer to my sister, my sister wants to talk to this brother for a while." Lin Xi smiled faintly.

Xiaohu glanced at Zheng Yang, pursed his lips, and said in a very low voice: "What is there to talk about." ”

With that, he went to get the beer, and after delivering the beer, he went to work with the guests somewhere else.

"What a coincidence." Zheng Yang didn't know what to say, so he had to say stupidly, he didn't expect to be able to meet in such a deep alley in a city as big as Shanghai.

Lin Xi looked at Zheng Yang and smiled faintly, she took the beer and knocked it open on the corner of the table, Zheng Yang looked at this familiar scene and smiled faintly, this is still the method she gave to her when she was in college.

"Why did you get to Shanghai?" Lin Xi said, then poured himself a glass of beer, touched the cup with Zheng Yang, and drank it all.

Zheng Yang took a sip, and the singing voice of the woman on the stage still echoed in his ears, the singing brought Zheng Yang back to his college days, the Lin Xi in front of him was still the same Lin Xi back then, everything has not changed, everything is as usual.

"I miss you, so" Zheng Yang almost blurted out, because during the summer vacation of college, Zheng Yang would always go to Shanghai alone to find Lin Xi, which was also what he told her at that time.

Lin Xi looked at Zheng Yang in a daze, and at this moment, the singing on the stage stopped abruptly, the strings of the ponytail woman's guitar broke, Zheng Yang suddenly returned to reality from the singing, and the noisy sound of the market instantly poured into his ears.

Zheng Yang took a sip of beer with some embarrassment, Lin Xi also looked away, and the woman on the stage seemed to see Lin Xi, beckoned, put down the guitar, and walked to Lin Xi's side.

Lin Xi stood up, the two hugged each other, Zheng Yang saw a butterfly with a broken cocoon tattooed on the calf of the woman in shorts, and all the pictures were frozen at the moment when the cocoon was broken, Zheng Yang was a little stunned for a while.

"Lin Xi, I haven't seen you here for a long time, who is this?" The woman glanced at Zheng Yang very curiously, and saw that Zheng Yang was staring at his heels, so she followed his gaze very curiously, it turned out that he was looking at his tattoo.

Lin Xi seemed to be a little annoyed by Zheng Yang's faux pas, and kicked Zheng Yang, Zheng Yang came back to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly, Zheng Yang stood up and shook hands with the woman, "Zheng Yang, Lin Xi's friend." ”

Hearing the name 'Zheng Yang', the woman looked at Lin Xi as if she had suddenly realized, Lin Xi blushed instantly, and the woman stretched out her hand very generously, "Artemisia, you can call me Xiao Ai." ”

Zheng Yang nodded, and Xiao Ai asked that little tiger to bring three bottles of beer, and Xiao Hu glanced at Zheng Yang even more hostilely, Zheng Yang felt this trace of murderous aura, and his heart couldn't help but be a little inexplicable.

"Lin Xi, what have you been busy with lately, why don't you come to see me." Xiao Ai and Lin Xi clinked their glasses and took a sip of beer.

"The affairs in the group are busy with the merger of the Lin family and the Sun family." Lin Xi said.

"Oh, I also heard that the newspaper said that the Lin family and the Sun family were going to merge into the Chengyu Group, which turned out to be true." Xiao Ai said.

When Zheng Yang heard the news, he was slightly stunned, looking at Lin Xi, Lin Xi looked at Zheng Yang, and smiled faintly.

The two chatted about some topics again, Zheng Yang was not very interested, there was a sentence without a word, and after a while, Zheng Yang felt a little sleepy, and he was ready to leave here.

"You go on, I'll withdraw first." Zheng Yang said a little apologetically, and then he had to pay the bill, but a little embarrassed, he actually left his wallet in the car.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, my wallet was left in the car." Zheng Yang said embarrassedly.

Xiao Ai smiled faintly and said, "Since it is Lin Xi's friend, it is my friend, and I invited this meal." ”

Zheng Yang smiled a little embarrassedly, then got up and left, and when he returned to the car, he took his wallet, but was stopped by the little tiger halfway.

"Exactly, little one, check out." Zheng Yang smiled faintly.

"A thousand." Xiaohu said angrily.

Zheng Yang looked at the little tiger in some surprise and said with a smile: "Boy, what kind of barbecue is this, it's so expensive." ”

"It's not expensive, I'll give you a seven-percent discount!" Xiaohu said.

Zheng Yang smiled faintly, and then took out a thousand yuan and stuffed it into Xiaohu's hand.

Xiaohu was a little dazed with the money, he didn't expect that the man in front of him really gave him a thousand yuan, he also wanted to see the man in front of him angry and ashamed, and he was so young that he cried in front of Lin Xi's sister, so that Lin Xi would hate the man in front of him.

Zheng Yang was just about to turn around and leave, but the little tiger directly blocked Zheng Yang's way, Zheng Yang smiled faintly and said, "What do you want to do?" I paid for it. ”

"Stay away from Sister Lin Xi!" Xiaohu glared and pretended to be very fierce and said.

"Why?" Zheng Yang asked curiously.

"She is my future wife, and I will marry her when I grow up!" Little Tiger said proudly.

Zheng Yang looked at the little kid in front of him, couldn't help but be a little funny, and said, "What are you going to marry her?" ”

"I'll take it, I'll take the money to marry her, I'll give her a big wedding, a big house, a big car, a big one" Xiaohu said very proudly.

"Where did you get so much money?" Zheng Yang said.

"Selling barbecue, one day I will save enough money to marry her." Xiaohu said.

Zheng Yang's heart seemed to be touched by something, he looked at the innocent little boy in front of him, smiled faintly, he patted him on the shoulder, and said very seriously: "Come on, big brother supports you." ”

After speaking, Zheng Yang turned around and left, and the little tiger made a big grimace at Zheng Yang's departing back, and then ran back to busy the barbecue.

Zheng Yang hid in the car, smoking Nanjing, and fell into silence, wasn't he just like the little boy back then, maybe only he knew how precious the innocence in the little boy's heart was, after all, he had regarded her as everything in his life, and now
