41 Birthday Party
Gao Bingqi is much shorter and softer than Yu Zhile imagined. She originally thought that with Gao Bingqi's personality of not admitting defeat when she was in high school, she should also be the type of strong woman after work, so the image of the brain is similar to Manager Zhao, who steps on high heels every day and acts vigorously and resolutely.
Gao Bingqi generously stretched out her hand to greet Yu Zhile surrounded by several girls: "Hello, I'm Gao Bingqi, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
Yu Zhile couldn't see the female classmates around Yu Zihuan looking at her more or less hostilely, and held Gao Bingqi's hand with a smile and said, "I've heard Xiao Lian say that you have been many times, and I'm so happy to finally see a real person." β
"Really? Zilian often mentions me to you? Gao Bingqi seemed to be a little surprised, but also a little unconcealable joy.
"That's right." Yu Zhile replied without any guilt.
However, she didn't tell Gao Bingqi that it was already Yu Zilian's high school days, and at that time, thanks to Yu Zilian's blessing of loving and competing, she knew Gao Bingqi's ranking in every big and small exam well.
"Zi Lian is really, why do you keep mentioning me if you have nothing to do, didn't you upset you?" Gao Bingqi cautiously glanced at Yu Zhile's side of Yu Zilian, who was chatting with other male classmates, and couldn't see any clues from the flat expression on his face, so she withdrew her inquiring gaze, and did not show unnaturalness.
"Of course not, it's too late for me to be happy to know that he has such a good friend as you." Yu Zhile's words are also from the bottom of her heart, the champion of the high school entrance examination, S City only produces one rare species a year, she really admires it, and she has long wanted to see it.
Gao Bingqi smiled humbly, indicating that she was not as good as Yu Zhile, and then continued to smile and say to her, "Can I call you Zhile?" β
"Yes, everyone can call me Zhile, you are all good friends of Xiao Lian."
"Yu Zhile? Isn't that a common name? How do I remember Yu Zilian's previous ......"
Gao Bingqi coughed lightly, interrupted the provocative words of a girl behind her, and explained: "Zilian used to have a friend who was also named this before, so we were surprised to hear that the first girlfriend he had over the years was also named Yu Zhile. β
Yu Zhile knew that she was giving herself face, so he replied to her words: "My name is quite common, and it is not uncommon to have the same name, but it is really a coincidence haha." β
In fact, everyone present who didn't know the truth probably had the same idea as Nie Hong when he first met Yu Zhile, thinking that Yu Zilian had found a girl with the same name as Bai Yueguang in his heart as a replacement.
However, this misunderstanding is probably not easy to solve, and it is impossible to tell the nearly twenty people present that she is Yu Zhile, who Yu Zilian has been looking for for eight years and is like a fake, right? One is that there is no need to explain, and even if they say it, they will definitely not believe it, after all, it is rare for people to be as naΓ―ve as Nie Hong when they are twenty-four or five years old.
If it weren't for Gao Bingqi's stopping, in order to stimulate her, the group of girls kept saying how important the previous "Yu Zhile" was to Yu Zilian, implying that she was just a stand-in, although Yu Zhile would secretly refresh them in their hearts to emphasize their importance to Yu Zilian, but it would always be a little embarrassing on the scene because they couldn't refute it. So Yu Zhile is still very grateful to Gao Bingqi for saying so lightly that "Yu Zhile", who has made Yu Zihuan wait for eight years, is just a friend, which is better than being deliberately used by someone with a heart to talk about things.
Yu Zhile had to admit that Gao Bingqi really thought about Yu Zilian, and if she didn't have other thoughts about Yu Zilian, she would indeed be a good friend.
Before sitting down, Yu Zhile noticed that the girl who wanted to mention Yu Zilian's past just now had a little conflict with Gao Bingqi, but it was not the kind of conflict that didn't like each other, it looked more like the girl's hatred for Gao Bingqi, but it showed that their relationship should be good.
Sure enough, after everyone sat down, Gao Bingqi sat on Yu Zhile's right hand, and the girl sat down next to Gao Bingqi, obviously she was the best among the girls present and Gao Bingqi.
The girl probed herself to Yu Zhile under Gao Bingqi's many hints and said that her name was Jiang Manman, and after finishing speaking, she showed a perfunctory smile, and quickly shrank back without waiting for Yu Zhile to react.
Gao Bingqi tugged at the corners of her clothes a little embarrassed, in exchange for Jiang Manman's roll of eyes and a whispered answer: "If you want to have a good relationship with her, you can go, I don't want to be like you." β
Gao Bingqi glanced at her helplessly, turned back to Yu Zhile and said: "Manman's temperament is relatively slow, and if you have more contact with her, you will find that she is still very easy to get along with." β
Yu Zhile has a good impression of Jiang Manman, a person who is outspoken and writes everything on his face, at least much better than a person like Zheng Zhilan who is full of nine bends and eighteen bends, loves to pretend to be a little white lotus, and is still seen clearly by others, but there is a Gao Bingqi between them, and their positions are different, so she probably has no chance to become friends with Jiang Manman.
Yu Zhile listened to Gao Bingqi's words of defence for Jiang Manman, and didn't care that what she said about "slow heat" and Jiang Manman actually couldn't get along at all, nodded with a smile, and took the initiative to find a topic with the two.
Jiang Manman couldn't understand it now, and he didn't know if Yu Zhile was really stupid or pretended not to care about Gao Bingqi and Yu Zilian's close relationship. However, Yu Zhile had such a good attitude, and he kept smiling and talking to them, who were obviously unfriendly girls in order to support Gao Bingqi, Jiang Manman was not too embarrassed to pick thorns with guns and sticks, and the atmosphere between the girls was gradually much more harmonious than before they sat down.
Yu Zihuan has been dragged by Nie Hong and others to chat about the past, but in fact, he has never stopped paying attention to Yu Zhile. Although he had confidence in Yu Zhile's ability to deal with people, he was still afraid that those girls would stand on Gao Bingqi's side and deliberately embarrass her, and he was relieved when he saw that she was very comfortable dealing with it alone.
The dish was ordered by Nie Hong, Lin Tianyuan and Gao Bingqi before Yu Zilian and Yu Zhile came, and they must give Yu Zilian, the birthday star, a second glance before the official serving. These classmates of his are all locals of S City, and they generally don't eat spicy, and in addition to what he likes to eat, they are basically light dishes, so he added a few more spicy dishes.
When Gao Bingqi heard him report the names of those dishes, she subconsciously raised her hand to stop the waiter, and said to Yu Zilian a little strangely: "These dishes are very spicy, can you eat them?" β
Yu Zhile knew that Yu Zihuan had specially ordered it for her, although explaining this point in public seemed to be suspected of showing affection, but since Gao Bingqi asked nosyly, if she didn't say a word again, as if her real girlfriend was afraid, she said: "I ......"
"Lele likes spicy food, so I added a few more dishes, you won't mind, right?" Yu Zilian held Yu Zhile's hand under the table and took her words. He explained indifferently to everyone at the table, and did not deliberately look at Gao Bingqi to answer, everyone heard him say this, of course, it was impossible to say that they minded, and they all said that today was his birthday, and they all listened to his arrangement.
Gao Bingqi didn't say anything more, but her face was a little unsightly after glancing at Yu Zhile and Yu Zilian's handshake, but she quickly covered it up and talked and laughed with everyone.
During the meal, Nie Hong took the lead, and several boys with active personalities spoke and acted, recalling the interesting past in their class, and making the men and women at the same table laugh again and again.
Seeing that Nie Hong and the others learned to spoof the scientists staged on the school anniversary, Yu Zhile leaned back with laughter, squeezed his eyes at Yu Zilian and said, "Is this a substitute product after he proposed a unsuccessful undress/dance competition?" β
Yu Zihuan also smiled and bent his eyes, but he didn't expect Yu Zhile to remember Nie Hong's bad idea at that time.
"I didn't expect your classmates to be so fun, I remember that you also liked to participate in school activities at that time, why didn't you play with them?"
Yu Zilian's smile froze for a moment, and he was about to speak, but Gao Bingqi's soft voice came from Yu Zhile's right first, "Zilian's smile was also going to be played at that time, and it was still an important role, that is, the one that partnered with Nie Hong." But then there was an accident at home, so he ......"
Gao Bingqi's words were not loud, but they were not light, just enough to attract the attention of the people around them.
Lin Tianyuan, who replaced Yu Zihuan in the sketch back then, took the lead in joking and feigned anger: "Xiao Gao, what do you mean by this? Don't you think I'm not as good as Zilian? β
Gao Bingqi immediately responded with a smile: "How dare I do this, you are the actor of our class." β
The actor is usually a one-eyed, law-abiding Lin Tianyuan who helped the classmates in the dormitory to deal with the life teacher, pretending to be stupid, not admitting the account, and successfully exempting everyone from deducting points and punishment, this stalk is a joke that non-class people can't understand before it is explained, and the result is that everyone at the table laughed again after listening to Gao Bingqi's words, only Yu Zhile didn't know why, and he didn't think it was funny.
Yu Zihuan saw that she was very dazed, and explained to her in a whisper, and she understood the meaning.
Lin Tianyuan saw the small movements of the two, and then looked at Gao Bingqi, who looked a little lonely, raised his glass and said, "Come, I will give today's birthday a glass." β
Yu Zihuan accepted his toast and birthday wishes with a smile, and was about to sit down, when he heard Lin Tianyuan say: "Zilian, why do you have to toast Xiao Gao, you had an accident in your family at that time, and the whole thing seemed to have changed as if a person had changed, so gloomy that we didn't dare to talk to you, and we didn't participate in the event, and we studied alone every day, if it weren't for Xiao Gao, would you be so cheerful as today?" β
Gao Bingqi hurriedly said: "This is not my credit alone, if you want to say that everyone should work together to help Zihuan get out of the shadows." But after speaking, he looked at Yu Zilian's eyes, but there was some indescribable expectation.
After listening to the words of the two, Yu Zihuan smiled faintly, did not have eye contact with Gao Bingqi, raised his wine glass and said sincerely: "That's right, I want to thank all my classmates for not being scared away by my unsociability when I was the most hit, especially my roommates, thank you." 166 Reading Network
