Episode 7: A long-cherished wish
A few years ago, when Xiao Lan passed the college entrance examination and came to Donghai City to study while going to university, the days at that time were really hard and difficult, he often daydreamed, saying some dreams that were difficult to achieve, he said: If one day you are developed, you must go to the best restaurant, order the most expensive dishes, order two servings, one for yourself, and one for you to watch!
Before yesterday, Xiao Lan was still a lovelorn pure silk, but he never thought that in just one night, his life had undergone unimaginable changes because of the apocalypse system that fell from the sky.
Looking at the tempting dishes on the table, smelling the fragrance, and being really hungry, Xiao Guanlan immediately picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started moving.
I have to say that Lanyue Lou is really worthy of being the premier high-end restaurant in Donghai City, the chef here makes something delicious, much stronger than the food in the mental hospital, almost every dish is full of color and flavor, much stronger than the instant noodles and roadside food stalls that I used to eat.
Xiao Lan ate with relish, and his movements became faster and faster, just like gobbling up, you know, in order to save money, he often solved a meal with a pack of instant noodles. The meal in front of him can almost be called the best meal he has ever eaten in his current life.
However, having said that, his eating appearance is really a little ugly, and the surrounding guests can't help frowning when they see him eating, and some people even point fingers at him, as if they are saying 'stupid hat', 'hillbilly', 'nouveau riche' or something.
"Damn, don't eat well, what do you see? Lao Tzu is not a beauty! Xiao Lan slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, glaring angrily around, perhaps because his sharp dress is indeed quite lethal, and under an angry scolding, he frightened all these so-called successful people, and immediately turned his head one by one, or directly lowered his head to eat, and then made no sound.
What successful people? What's the big deal! Lao Tzu is also a multimillionaire now! Xiao Lan scolded secretly in his heart, and immediately began to eat and drink by himself, but he also seemed to know that his previous appearance of a hungry ghost was really a little ugly, and he was already full at this time, so he pretended to be a vassal and elegant.
Rao is like this, his appearance of eating still attracts those customers who come in and find that there is no place to point at him, especially some men who think they are rich and women who think they are beautiful, even more so, but when he saw Xiao Lan's dress, he couldn't help but give up.
In recent years, there are a lot of strange things, nouveau riche are not easy to mess with, in case you meet some big man who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, it will be even more unlucky, just Xiao Lan's appearance, give people a look, it is not a local tyrant who deliberately pretends to be forced, it is a nouveau riche or something, those who think they are in high society, naturally they dare not provoke him easily.
"Huhβisn't this Xiao Lan?" Just as Xiao Lan had finished lunch and walked to the counter to check out and leave, suddenly, a joking voice sounded behind him.
Xiao Lan couldn't help but stagnate, then turned his head, and when he saw the person, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said unhappily: "Liu Tao, it's you?!" β
What caught his eye was a young man in a suit and leather shoes, although he looked good and serious, but the corners of his mouth were hooked up with a sneer, he remembered very clearly, this Liu Tao can be regarded as his sworn enemy, because when they were in college, they pursued Sun Qian together, but unfortunately Sun Qian still chose him in the end, and since then the relationship between Liu Tao and him has been stiff, and he is embarrassed everywhere, and it is said that this person's family is very rich, and he also has a relatively high status in Binhai City.
With a smile in his mouth, Liu Tao said with a strange yin and yang in his mouth: "Xiao Lan, since graduation, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, I didn't expect you to mix so well now, you can come here to eat, I heard that you work in a small company before, it seems that my news is wrong!" β
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Lan's mouth twitched, classmates for four years, what kind of person the other party is He knew very well in his heart, at the moment, he responded with a salty and non-salty voice, and said: "Compared to Liu Tao, you are naturally rich and have a big family, but you just eat with a mouthful." β
He heard from a classmate who had a connection that after graduation, under his father's arrangement, Liu Tao entered his own company as the general manager, managing a listed company of a large scale, and the scenery was infinite.
In contrast, he, the ** silk who only broke out today, has always been just an errand salesman in a small company, and the gap between the two is really like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Haha, I said Xiao Lan, although it is true that we have conflicts in college, but after all, we are classmates, if there is a difficulty in losing your job or something in the future, you must remember to come to me, and I will definitely help you if I can! By the way, what about your girlfriend Sun Qian? Speaking of this, he deliberately looked around, and then pretended to remember something dead, and exclaimed: "Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot, it seems that not long ago, Sun Qian had dumped you." β
When Xiao Lan heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, this was his key point, but he still endured it in the end, and said with a forced smile: "That's really thank you Liu Tao for your concern, how about me and Sun Qian, that's our own business, and it has nothing to do with you as an outsider." β
"How can it not be related?!" Liu Tao suddenly smiled gloomily and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lan, I'm afraid you still don't know, in fact, your breakup with Sun Qian has a lot to do with me!" β
Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel angry, grabbed the bill's hand, clenched his fists uncontrollably, and his muscles burst out.
Seeing Xiao Lan's angry look, Liu Tao seemed to be even happier, at this time, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly beckoned to a box not far away, shouting: "Xiaoqian, come out quickly, meet our old classmates!" β
Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but tremble, his clenched fists, his nails were about to sink into his palms, and he felt a severe pain, but he didn't realize it.
No matter how painful your hand is, how can it compare to the pain in your heart?!
In a blink of an eye, sure enough, a shadow came over, she was still so beautiful, but her eyebrows had retreated from the childishness of the past, stepping on three-inch high heels, wearing a sexy coat, with long wavy hair draped over her shoulders, and a light makeup, she looked much more mature.
Sun Qian obviously also discovered Xiao Lan, and for a moment, she was stunned halfway, her body trembled, and a little embarrassment and helplessness unconsciously appeared on her face.
Liu Tao walked over, took Sun Qian into his arms, walked over, and said with a hearty smile: "Xiaoqian, in front of me, what are you shy about, when you were in school before, the two of us chased you at the same time, you chose her before, and now you choose me, this is time to tell you, who is really the right person for you, the current Xiao Lan, for you, is just an old classmate, I believe, Xiao Lan must think so." Speaking of this, he went straight to Xiao Lan and asked, "Xiao Lan, you said yes, right?" β
"That's right." Xiao Lan looked at Sun Qian, who was full of embarrassment and dark color, and his heart was full of sorrow, and he immediately responded in a deep voice, and while speaking, he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Not long ago, it was still his girlfriend, and when they meet again today, the two have become old classmates, I have to say, this is really an ironic thing.
"Look, I'm telling you." Liu Tao hugged Sun Qian hard, as if he had a treasure, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lan is a free and easy person, although you broke up, you will still be classmates in the future, can you still be good friends?" β
Hearing this, Sun Qian's face turned a lot paler all of a sudden, this sentence was exactly what she had said when she broke up with Xiao Lan.
Break up, still classmates, can still be friends Now think about it, what a ridiculous sentence, like a bubble, it looks beautiful, but often can't withstand the slightest pressure, and in the blink of an eye, it will completely burst.
Xiao Lan's body also couldn't help but tremble.
"That's it, I'm leaving, after all, I'm not like Young Master Liu, Boss Liu, born rich and noble, I still have to make money to fill my stomach!" Xiao Lan couldn't help it after all, here, he couldn't stay for a moment, to be honest, if he wasn't afraid of Sun Qian's embarrassment, he really wanted to beat Liu Tao!
One last glance at Sun Qian, he squeezed straight past Liu Tao's side, came to the counter to settle the account, and walked straight outside.
Liu Tao watched Xiao Lan leave, his face was full of gloom, and Sun Qian, the landlord he worked hard, said in a deep voice: "What, are you still thinking about him now?" Don't forget, your brother's surgery fee, but I gave it, you promised me, do you want to regret it? β
"I" Sun Qian opened her mouth, but after all, she still couldn't say the sentence stuck in her throat, slowly closed her eyes, and tears unconsciously fell from the corners of her eyes: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it, in the future, I, Sun Qian, will always be just a woman who belongs to you"
