15. She's the 'girlfriend'
-- Feelings are not smooth sailing, you can do it if you want to.
It needs the right time, the right people.
***
He was wearing a light gray shirt with casual pants, his hair was much shorter than the last time they met, and he looked very energetic, without the tiredness of the last time.
Mao Dong put one hand in his pocket and socialized with the people around him, and his eyes casually scanned the table, but when he met Liang Ju's gaze, it was obvious that he was stunned.
It was only a few seconds before his face naturally shifted his gaze again.
In the end, Mao Dong walked to Liang Ju's side and sat in the last empty seat.
Mao Dong had been greeting the others at the table, and did not pay attention to Liang Ju again. Liang Ju lowered his eyes to drink, noticing that his hand was just casually resting on the table, very close to her cup.
She took a few sips of her drink, but her eyes stayed on the hand.
The skin is slightly dark, the fingers are slender, and the bony fingers are distinct.
"Shappi, won't this sister introduce you to everyone?"
A buddy dressed as a ruffian pointed at Liang Ju and asked Shapi with a smile, Shapi hugged Liang Ju and replied with a smile: "My sister." ”
"What kind of sister is it?" Everyone will be happy.
The hand in the sight moved slightly, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, Liang Ju quickly looked away, and looked up with a smile to answer everyone's jokes, "My surname is Lin, and my name is Sister Lin!" ”
"Then Shar Pei is not a treasure brother?"
The whole table was full of sand peeks, but the man leaned back in his chair and smoked quietly, without saying a word.
The waiter began to serve the food, and everyone began to chat again.
Liang Ju sat between Shapi and Mao Dong, and she would talk to Shapi from time to time, but all her attention was focused on the person.
During their conversation, Liang Ju knew that these people were all friends of Mao Dong, some were self-made bosses, and some were children of wealthy families, all of whom were well-dressed and dignified.
Except for Liang Ju, the whole table was full of men. At first, everyone also considered that there was Liang Ju, and the words in his mouth were a race of Wen Crepe, but after all, they were friends for many years, and after a while, they were all excited, and after pushing the cup and changing the lamp, they were all excited, who cared about what image, either lying on the sofa on their backs and shouting 'another cup', or holding each other's shoulders and carrying suona on their backs to take a plane - blowing into the sky.
Shapi has always been crazy, the more people there are, the higher they are, at the beginning, he learned to be a gentleman and elegant and sat quietly in his position to give Liang Ju cloth vegetables, and took good care of her, but seeing that everyone was excited, he couldn't wait to take the wine glass and start drinking with others.
There are already a lot of people, and the gap between the seats is not very large, and when she leaves her seat, there is only Mao Dong by Liang Ju's side.
Because all the VIPs on the table are the protagonists tonight, and Mao Dong has had an upset stomach recently, he didn't drink much tonight, which basically stopped Ah Yuan and Sha Pei.
Mao Dong glanced in the direction of Liang Ju, who was looking down to fight the grilled shrimp on her plate. She doesn't seem to like to eat things with shells very much, and only uses her index finger and thumb to hold her food, and the other fingers are cocked, and you can tell by the way she looks that she is troublesome.
Mao Dong's left leg was on his right leg, and one hand suddenly rested back on the back of Liang Ju's chair, narrowing the distance between the two people.
His move did not attract a lot of attention.
Liang Ju finally got rid of all the shelled food on the plate, and was satisfied with the wet towel on the table and wiped it.
With a very sincere expression, he said to her, "Replenish protein, beauty." ”
The whole table noticed this at once because of his action.
The atmosphere at the table slowly grew eerie
Faced with his sudden movements, Liang Ju was also surprised. She was embarrassed to refuse, said thank you, and had to bow her head and continue to deal with her least favorite shrimp.
Didn't he just be very indifferent to her appearance?
It was Ah Yuan who reacted the fastest, and when everyone looked at Mao Dong and Liang Ju suspiciously, he had already picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glasses of the people at the table one by one.
"Drink, everyone!"
Everyone present drank comfortably and let go, each looking for a drinking friend to drink, and no one noticed them, Mao Dong turned sideways and leaned towards Liang Ju.
The shadow he cast hung over Liang Ju's head, and Liang Ju looked at him with wide eyes.
"Why are you here?" Almost head-to-head, he breathed with wine, and his voice had the laziness of drunkenness.
'Why am I here, isn't it because of you?' Liang Ju thought to himself, but he didn't say it.
Just when she was thinking about how to prevaricate, a chopstick suddenly flew obliquely and hit the white porcelain dinner plate in front of Mao Dong, with a 'ding' sound.
Sitting diagonally opposite Mao Dong, some balding young men were drunk, pointed at Mao Dong with a big tongue and said, "I said Dong... Brother Dong, don't worry about other people's little girls, people have Shar Pei to take care of, what are you doing with it... Yikes! ”
"Get out of here, my eldest brother is helping me take care of my sister!" Shar Pei threw the chopstick back the way it came.
"Cuihua, sauerkraut~~"
A coquettish voice came from the side, Liang Ju raised his eyes from the rice plate and saw a mature and sexy woman staggering in from outside the door with a plate of fruits.
"Hey~~" sat next to Mao Dong, with a few beans on his face. Hemp. The man, who raised his head and drooped down, first burped, and then said with a vague smile: "This, isn't this our old lover!" ”
Liang Ju watched the woman come in and sat directly in the arms of a well-dressed man, holding the plate in one hand, and holding a grape in the other hand and holding it to the man's mouth.
Although Liang Ju has also seen this kind of scene, it is only an intimate interaction between classmates and young couples, and the scene in front of him is mixed with the singing and dancing of warblers and swallows in society, indulging in the smell of wine.
Everyone present had already expected the picture in front of them, except for a few people who did not look directly, some people actually whistled and joked.
Liang Ju went to see Mao Dong, he was lowering his head and lighting the cigarette in his mouth, looking calm and commonplace.
Feeling her gaze, he lowered his head and pointed to the dishes on her plate, "Eat it." ”
Looking at his indifferent appearance, she knew that these people had long been accustomed to these things.
After the meal, a few men were still shouting to go to the next game, and Sha Pei also wanted to go, but was stopped by Mao Dong, "You send her back first." ”
Mao Dong pointed to Liang Ju who was standing on the side, and Liang Ju hurriedly raised his hand, "I'll go too!" ”
"Nope."
"Why?"
"Because you're underage."
"I'm 22 years old!"
Mao Dong threw his car keys to Shar Pei, "You're drinking, find someone to help you drive." ”
"Hey!" Liang Ju also planned to continue to theorize with Mao Dong for his real age, and Mao Dong and his friends had already taken the lead in going downstairs and walking out of the restaurant.
Looking at the back of a few of them leaving, Liang Ju still wanted to follow, but received Mao Dong's warning eyes.
"If you want to pay back, just stay honest."
Liang Ju really stood still and didn't move. She complained psychologically, when did she repay the money become Huang Shiren, it is estimated that she is the only big fool in the world who actively repays the money like her.
On the way back, Shar Pei found a substitute driver to drive Mao Dong's car.
In the car, Liang Ju asked Shapi: "Where are they going?" ”
Shar Pei didn't hide it, yawned and leaned on the car glass, and said slowly: "Where can you go, a bunch of drunk men, where else can you go except to find Miss?" ”
Liang Ju chuckled in his heart, "Will he go too?" ”
"Who?"
"Mao Dong."
For the first time, she called his name so directly.
"My brother, not necessarily, it's a scene to go."
***
Go to Beixing Liangju again alone.
She ordered a drink and sat bored on the edge of the bar, her eyes wandering aimlessly with the crowd.
The handsome waiter handed Liang Ju the drink, and smiled meaningfully at her as he left, Liang Ju ignored the waiter's teasing, and searched the crowd for the person she was looking for.
There was a band performing on the stage, Liang Ju took a sip of the drink in his hand, searched around but couldn't see the person.
Zhong Ling had just come back from her errands, things didn't go very well, she was a little depressed, and she passed by the bar and asked for a drink.
It's not the weekend, and it's not the busiest time of the evening, and there aren't many bar customers yet.
Liang Ju sat there and swayed her body gently to the music, she had studied jazz dance for several years, and now her heart itched when she saw dancing. If it weren't for her mother who felt that she was not doing her job and tried her best to stop her, maybe Liang Ju would have become a dance teacher by now.
Glancing casually at the side, he found that there were only a few people at the bar, except for the other two men, only Liang Ju and another girl remained.
The girl's side eyes were very familiar, and at the same time, she also raised her head and looked at Liang Ju.
"Ah, it's you!"
Liang Ju exclaimed, quickly jumped off the high chair, and headed towards Zhong Ling. "Sister, do you remember me!"
Liang Ju pointed at herself, Zhong Ling looked at her in confusion and shook her head.
"Me, you forgot that you helped me at the bus stop last time, and I haven't had time to thank you!"
"Helped you at the bus stop?" Zhong Ling recalled according to Liang Ju's hard work, and it took a while before she suddenly realized: "Oh! It's you! ”
"Sister, I really want to thank you last time!"
Sighing that the world is so small, Zhong Ling got up and greeted Liang Ju warmly, and asked the bartender to bring another drink, "What a coincidence, you came to play by yourself?" ”
"Yes! What about you, do you also come and have fun by yourself? ”
The waiter put the drink in front of the two, and Zhong Ling smiled with the drink.
The two of them sat next to each other again, Liang Ju took a sip of his drink and asked Zhong Ling, "Do you come here often?" ”
Zhong Ling smiled: "Actually, I am an employee here. ”
"You're an employee here!" Hearing the good news, Liang Ju grabbed Zhong Ling's arm and asked, "Sister, then shall I ask you about personal affairs?" ”
"Who?"
"Your boss here, Mao Dong! You know him, right? ”
Zhong Ling was stunned, and her eyes changed when she looked at Liang Ju.
She smiled and asked softly, "Why are you asking him?" ”
Liang Ju's face was a little embarrassed.
Zhong Ling looked at Liang Ju's gaze with some inquiry, and vaguely, she seemed to remember that the girl in front of her had seen it in Beixing. If memory serves, she also appeared with Mao Dong.
"I want to know if he has a girlfriend."
Liang Ju held the chair in his hand, leaned forward, and stared at Zhong Ling with blazing eyes, "I heard people outside say that she seems to have a girlfriend who is also the boss here, is it true?" ”
Zhong Ling disguised herself to get the drink on the table, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the expectant expression in her eyes.
A few people came over from the side, and a waiter politely said to Zhong Ling, "Boss, there are guests looking for you." ”
Liang Ju looked at the little waiter along the sound source, and after a while, she stared at Zhong Ling in a blink of an eye.
The black Toyota car in her mind gradually overlapped with the car that Mao Dong parked at the entrance of the community, and the man who handed Zhong Ling a bottle of water with no visible face in the car that day seemed to be exactly the same as Mao Dong's carved three-dimensional facial features, especially his resolute chin.
All the coincidences, and the shadows of the two people gradually overlapped, pointing to one person.
"You take the guests to the box first, and I'll go over right away."
Seeing Liang Ju's surprised expression, Zhong Ling sent the waiter.
She looked back at her and said, "You just said that the other boss of North Star should be me, right?" ”
Liang Ju was stunned, and sat there without speaking for a while.
Zhong Ling said: "If you want to know anything about him, I can sue you." ”
