46. Chapter 46
Xia Yan's younger brother is called Ning Xi, the two met in high school and knew each other in one school, although one was in business school and the other was in law school in college, but it was also a school, and the relationship between the two was quite good, and Xia Rui met people like this. However, Ning Xi returned to China earlier than her brother, and opened a law firm after she came back, mainly targeting some foreign-related affairs, and she is also a typical busy person.
If she had eaten with Ning Xi before, of course Xia Rui would not have felt anything wrong, but after experiencing her brother's incident, she felt that it was better not to take any luck in everything, and the best thing in reality was to slap you in the face, she was afraid, and in order not to spread some embarrassing topics at that time, she decided to bring her three roommates with her.
Of course, there was no need to be so troublesome, the main problem was that her brother still had to go on a business trip this week, so Xia Rui felt that it was better to bring more people, and at this time she couldn't bring her agent and assistant, the best choice was her roommate.
Wang Wenwen and the three of them originally disagreed, mainly because they were not very familiar with people, they were really embarrassed in the past, but they couldn't stand Xia Rui looking at them with their eyes, they also knew the previous movements, and the artist's private life was completely nothing, even if they were not photographed by the paparazzi, there are many big Vs now, and many people take the initiative to break the news to these big Vs, after all, many people still love to watch the gossip about the artist's private life.
Xia Rui specially made an appointment on the night when there was no evening self-study, Xia Rui had already set a seat, the courtyard of the West family was originally a garden courtyard of a certain prince, but it also had a three-door pattern, a good location for eating official cuisine in the capital, and the courtyard of the West family came to the hands of the heirs of this generation, it was also very individual, in order to show the best taste, the number of tables every day was reserved, and the box was even more difficult to determine.
It is said to be a box, it is a small room in the courtyard of Sanjin, the decorations are very antique, and the lights on the top are also the shape of the palace lamp, the screen embroidered by Suzhou, and the Duobao Pavilion with some gadgets.
Luo Na and Gao Qin are also the first time to eat here, and they are also very interested in the structure of the box, as a person from the capital, Wang Wenwen is not the first time to come, but she also entered the box for the first time.
There are also a lot of plants planted in the yard, but now the weather is cold, only the plum blossoms are just right, and there is a faint fragrance. After looking around, the four of them sat down, chatting while waiting for people to come, until the door of the box was gently pushed open, then they stopped talking, and turned their heads to look at the door,
Wang Wenwen When they saw people, they felt that Xia Rui was really right when he said that he was a handsome guy, and Xia Yan's general elite mode, the well-tailored suit was worn on his body with an indescribable fit, the instrument was extraordinary, his eyes were sharp, his expression was cold, and he felt a little repulsed by thousands of miles away.
He also carried a briefcase in his hand, and after coming in, he put it in an empty seat on the side, and naturally sat in the empty seat next to Xia Rui.
"Brother Ning Xi." Xia Rui screamed, "It's my roommate over there." ”
Xia Rui introduced people to Ning Xi, Ning Xi nodded and said "Hello", there was still not much temperature in the voice, Wang Wenwen and the three of them were sitting upright in their seats, which made people feel even more nervous than when facing Xia Rui and her own brother.
Xia Yan's attitude softened when she saw Xia Rui, and at that time, they didn't have long to face people, but they were a little uncomfortable and just worked hard for a while, but now facing Ning Xi, a person who is ruthless, the three of them feel a little restrained at all, and this feels like a student who made a mistake facing the dean of academic affairs.
Sure enough, Xia Rui's meal was not so delicious!
Xia Rui is also accustomed to Ning Xi's appearance, and when he first met him, he was also like this, looking cold and deadly, but in fact he was still a very easy person to get along with.
Ning Xi rang the bell and beckoned the waiter to take the menu and asked Xia Rui to order them.
"How's it going?" Ning Xi glanced at Xia Rui without a trace, his voice was a little low, "I think I'm going to play in the entertainment industry?" Is it fun? ”
"It's fun." Xia Rui said, "It's interesting anyway. ”
Ning Xi hooked his lips, and didn't care about Xia Rui's answer, in his opinion, Xia Rui has been quite happy since she was a child, no matter what she does, she can always find a way to make herself happy.
"How is my grandfather's health lately? Are you okay? ”
"It's okay, now I go out every day to get together with old friends, and I talked about you before." Xia Rui ordered the dish she had chosen to the waiter, and replied to Ning Xi's words, "I haven't seen you much for a long time, and I said that you are so busy now that you probably don't have much time to practice calligraphy." ”
"I'll take the time to see my grandfather, will you come with me then?" Ning Xi said.
"You can just go then, but let me tell you, grandpa has been too free recently, and he will definitely take the school exam for you at that time, so you have to be mentally prepared." Xia Rui smiled and said, "Be careful that you will continue to practice calligraphy when the time comes!" ”
Xia Rui also remembered that when she first met Ning Xi, he still practiced with his grandfather, and he learned it well, and then every year when Ning Xi came over, her grandfather formed a habit, that is, to test how Ning Xi's words were practiced, and if he improved, he would praise a few words, and of course he had to say that he had regressed. Even after Ning Xi went to college, her grandfather said so.
The corners of Ning Xi's mouth curved slightly, as if he also thought of the original picture, speaking of which the old man was still a very strict person. "My grandfather has been idle, and he is still talking about it, and you and your grandfather will not come back to the capital."
Xia Rui has also seen Ning Xi's grandfather, but Ning Xi's family is different from theirs, the people in the compound are very cumbersome, and it is also more troublesome, so I didn't think about salvaging people.
"What a hassle."
"What's the trouble, it's not like I haven't met." Ning Xi said naturally, "I should be a little free for a while, what about you?" ”
"I usually have classes, and on weekends there are programs to shoot." Xia Rui replied, "But the show should be finished in December, and I've been picking scripts recently to see if there is anything suitable." ”
Wang Wenwen and the three of them also tried not to make a sound, listening to the two of them talking without a match, and they ordered a dish and regarded themselves as invisible people, after all, the person opposite seemed to have forgotten the three of them, but they still couldn't help but look at these two people with the corner of their eyes, speculating about the relationship between the two people, and everything involved each other's parents, why did it feel so weird? Even if it's a younger brother with a better relationship, it's generally not so deeply involved with each other's families, right, and I always feel that the way these two people get along is a little weird.
During the meal, there is basically no habit of eating and sleeping, Ning Xi is also busy for a while, and the several cases at hand before are relatively complicated, almost using a lot of his energy, but he is also very attentive to Xia Rui's recent movements, knowing that she is also a little speechless when she goes to the entertainment industry to play, she always has some strange ideas.
Although the time between Ning Xi and Xia Rui is not too long, it is definitely not short, and the relationship between him and Xia Yan has been good since they met.
When I first met Xia Rui, she was just a six or seven-year-old little girl, but at that time, when the little girl who was so big practiced calligraphy, she was very serious, and children of such a young age were unwilling to do such boring and boring things in his impression, even his cousins and cousins were not so patient, and they could write very well, not at all like the skills that children of such an age should have.
Ning Xi watched it interestingly, in the summer of that year, he simply learned calligraphy with the old man, and when Lao Tzu taught, he was really meticulous, in fact, he really didn't like it that much, just wanted to see how long this little girl could last.
Ning Xi and Xia Rui have met too many times but it is definitely not too little, for Xia Rui, his concept is a little princess who is held in the palm of his hand, he will see Xia Rui every year, although Xia Rui has been living in China, but during the summer vacation, he often goes to participate in some summer camps abroad, and at the beginning, he was mainly in the United States, after all, Xia Yan is also there, Xia Yan is very fond of this young sister, but later when he was busy with schoolwork, his friend became a nanny with the class, I almost watched Xia Rui grow from such a big little girl to the current girl, and when I think about it, it seems like it was still yesterday.
Although the time spent together is not too long, with Xia Yan, the twenty-four filial brother who always has to talk about "our family Rui Rui", Ning Xi feels as if he has participated in Xia Rui's life.
A dinner meal was not bad, Ning Xi originally planned to drive the four of them away, but Wang Wenwen and the others said that they still had something to do, so Ning Xi chose to send Xia Rui back to school, and the three of them would take a taxi back to school in a while.
Ning Xi didn't stop it, in fact, for him, Xia Rui's roommate has never been the focus of his attention, and the focus of his attention is also on Xia Rui's body, originally he just wanted to meet Xia Rui and the two of them, but Xia Rui was afraid that if the two of them met alone, they would be photographed at that time, so he said that he wanted to bring his roommate, and Ning Xi did not object.
Ning Xi also knew about the last candid shooting incident, Xia Yan even had a "show of affection" on Weibo in front of him, and he was also very speechless to Xia Yan, usually a very normal person, but after encountering Xia Rui's incident, it was completely like a change, and even said something like "It's good to do this, and you can also block some crazy bees and butterflies by the way".
Ning Xi has always felt that according to Xia Yan, who treats Xia Rui as a sister and a daughter at the same time, if Xia Rui finds a partner to marry one day, she may be able to cry at the wedding scene.
Xia Yan scoffed at Ning Xi's thoughts, "Anyway, you also grew up watching Rui Rui, you can also be regarded as her brother, and you can occasionally accept those stunned young people who don't know where they came from to take people away from your hands?" ”
Ning Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that Xia Yan was really able to choke people's seven inches, and he felt that he couldn't imagine such a picture at all, especially since he was still engaged in legal affairs, and it was not that he had no contact with marriage-related cases.
As soon as she thought of this possibility, Ning Xi felt that it would definitely not work, how could a little girl who was raised with such a small amount of grievances suffer a little grievance, she should have lived this life smoothly.
Ning Xi parked the car downstairs in Xia Rui's dormitory, and he was not in a hurry to leave, just now at the dinner table because there was someone else's relationship, Ning Xi didn't say much.
Xia Rui saw that Ning Xi was not in a hurry to leave, so she simply asked Ning Xi to park the car, and the two of them got out of the car and walked.
The temperature at night is cooler than during the day, but at this time the school is still very lively, especially in places like the sports hall, stadium, and study room.
Xia Rui and Ning Xi were walking on the playground, and there were some people who liked to run at night on the playground exercising, but it was relatively secluded, but it was rare for people like Ning Xi to appear on the playground in suits and leather shoes, and many people who ran at night loved to look at him.
"Rui Rui, are you going to go to the entertainment industry in the future?"
Ning Xi asked, although he and Xia Rui are familiar with each other, sometimes Xia Rui's thoughts are really not very clear, but he doesn't think Xia Yan will know how clear his sister's thoughts and thoughts are, she has always been very casual and arbitrary, what do you think she may not do, maybe she will do it. For example, in the professional matter, and then in the entertainment industry.
"I haven't thought about it." Xia Rui thought for a while, "But I still like it now, but I don't think I will continue to play." ”
"Have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?" Ning Xi asked again.
"Brother Ning Xi, you said that if I don't have the slightest dream, isn't that weird?" Xia Rui thought for a while and asked, "Do you think, many people were like that when they were children." I always have a dream of what I want to be when I grow up, such as becoming a scientist, a police officer or a series of other things, although I may not be able to become what I want when I grow up, but at least I still have my own goals, such as finding a good job, entering a good company, or striving to become something, but I have never dreamed of this, do you think I will be very strange? For example, when people enter the entertainment industry, they want to be famous, want to be popular, want to be known by everyone, or be able to make money, and win various awards such as actor and actress, in fact, you have to say that I really love acting, I think if I give a positive answer, I feel a little unreasonable. ”
Is this an adolescent confusion?
Ning Xi also wanted to laugh a little when she heard Xia Rui's words, Xia Rui, who had always been a good child, would have such distress.
"Did you tell your brother what you just said?" Ning Xi asked curiously, "Your brother should have talked to you too, right?" He thinks it's just because of this brother and sister relationship, this kind of question Xia Rui should have told Xia Yan first, maybe he didn't get a definite answer from Xia Yan, so he thought about asking him?
"No, I think according to my brother's answer, there must be no dreams and nothing to do with it," Xia Rui thought about it, she also thought about these things temporarily, because no one in the family had ever thought of asking her what she wanted to do in the future, and when Ning Xi asked her this question just now, she couldn't help but tell people what she thought.
"So I can think it's your adolescent confusion, right?" Ning Xi thought for a while and said, "Or is it the belated second phase of secondary school?" ”
Xia Rui couldn't help but laugh when she heard Ning Xi's words, she didn't expect that a person like Ning Xi would actually know such a term as the second stage of secondary school, but she seems to be far from the age of the second stage of secondary school, right? It seems that this should not be the case.
Ning Xi looked at Xia Rui, who was standing under the headlights of the playground and smiling at herself, her heart warmed slightly, and after thinking about it, she said: "You think like this, I personally think that it may be because compared to other people, Rui Rui, you already have what others want, in fact, there are not a few people who have confused ideas like you, not only you, but also others." ”
He thinks that there are indeed not a few people in this situation now, especially in this society, there are always those who have everything in the eyes of others who win at the starting line, the material is satisfied, but the spirit is lacking, and the vast majority of parents are in compensation or satisfaction for their needs, so the people who are lost on this road of life are not a few.
After listening to Ning Xi's words, Xia Rui was slightly embarrassed, "You mean that my idle egg hurts, right?" Brother Ning Xi, that's what you mean, right? ”
The smile on Ning Xi's face when he heard Xia Rui's words was even bigger, "If you understand it like this, then it's okay." ”
Really!!
Xia Rui made a grimace at Ning Xi, she knew that this kind of thing should not be discussed with him, this kind of problem was suitable for discussion with her brother, her brother would not make such a generalization about her, maybe he would comfort her.
Ning Xi watched Xia Rui make a grimace towards himself, he stretched out his index finger and hooked the tip of Xia Rui's nose, this kind of action was also very easy for him to do, but Xia Rui was not very old at that time, and Ning Xi hadn't done this action since Xia Rui's age in the past two years, and now when he did it again, Ning Xi also felt like he was back at that time.
"The nose is going to be shaved flat." Xia Rui waved away Ning Xi's hand, touched his nose and hummed, "If you flatten it, you will pay for it when the time comes!" ”
"If you shave it flat, no one wants it, then it's just right, I'll accept it then!" Ning Xi said that he took Xia Rui's hand, probably at night, and his fingertips were a little cold, so he naturally held Xia Rui's hand in the palm of his hand, "Why are your hands so cold, are you wearing too little?" Be graceful, not warm. ”
"Where, cold fingertips don't mean the whole person is cold, I'm wearing a thick one!" Xia Rui said that her health is better than others, I don't know how much, and her hands are cold because of the exposure to the wind outside.
"Okay, I'll send you back." Ning Xi said, "It's so late, the child should go back quickly." ”
Ning Xi sent Xia Rui downstairs to the dormitory, looked at Xia Rui, who was still a little immature at his shoulders in height, and said after thinking about it, "Rui Rui, dreaming of this thing, not having it now does not mean that it will not be in the future, even if it is really not so, it doesn't matter, I just hope that you can live happily, as for the rest, it is not important." You just have to do what makes you happy. ”
Ning Xi thinks that as long as she can make people happy every day, like her now, she is already a lot better than others, she just needs to be herself!
