Chapter 130: My Friend
The conversation with Li Yunning lasted until dawn, and we finally got sleepy, and we didn't know who couldn't stay up first and stopped this heavy conversation. I started dreaming again, the dream was full of Li Yunning and Li Yunxian's crying and mourning faces, living in the big family of the Li family, carrying a curse that did not exist, inheriting the legendary secret art of mind reading, being threatened by foreign relatives from various branches outside the family, burying secrets about their life in their hearts, bearing so many troubles and burdens, Li Yunning and Li Yunxian's hearts were only afraid that they had already been distorted.
When Li Yunning and I woke up, it was already noon, Li Yunning regained her child's temper again, got up seriously angry, and resolutely refused to get up holding the quilt. I looked at her with a smile, and perhaps it was a relief for her to switch into such a childish personality once in a while. I struggled to get up and walked out of the bedroom, finding that Wang Na was already standing at the door, and I don't know how long I had been waiting.
"Miss, do you need me to help you and Miss Yun Ning prepare lunch?" Wang Na asked, her tone becoming extra gentle since talking to me.
"It's still a more beautiful sound, has breakfast been slept?" I'm still sleepy and can't open my eyes.
"Yes, breakfast time is over, in fact, lunch time is over, it's half past twelve noon, and I can ask the kitchen to make you two more lunches if you need to." Wang Na even smiled, the Li family has always had strict rules, a strong sense of time, lunch is served on time at half past eleven every day, if you can't catch up, you can only order the kitchen to make a small meal alone.
"It's so late. Then please let the kitchen do whatever it wants, just faster. I'm going out in the afternoon. I said.
"No problem, do you have anything you want to eat?" Wang Na asked intimately.
"Anything is good. As long as it's not dry bread, it's best not to be spicy. I casually said, "By the way, the way you look today won't change because of my preferences, right?" I asked worriedly, remembering Wang Na's robot-like work style before, I was afraid that the current Wang Na was just performing mechanically and showing what I liked.
"You're thinking too much, I'm enjoying the current state of work." She said briskly.
"That's good, you don't need to wait for me at the door like this in the future. When I am working or not working, you can do what you want, I see that your handwriting is good, you like to practice calligraphy, you can also practice soft pen calligraphy when you have time, you are very talented in this area. I laughed.
Wang Na's cheeks turned pink, "Got it, thank you, I really like calligraphy." If so, can I go to the stationery store in my neighborhood in the afternoon? She was a little embarrassed.
"Of course, I'll drive you there after lunch, don't go to the neighborhood. I'll go to the city center and take you to a professional stationery store. I said, Wang Na opened her mouth to refuse. I hastened to add, "No refusal." It's not a time off, buy good things and find a place to wait for me. I'll call you when I'm done. I said solemnly, Wang Na nodded, smiled and turned away, I could feel that her back was joyful.
It may be because of the recent pressure that I have been too much, and I have been unpleasant to eat in recent days, but today's lunch is particularly comfortable, a simple Western meal, the steak is just right, the amount of black pepper is just right, and the soup is very light, which is very suitable for appetizing. In particular, the kumquat sauce that goes with it is handmade, and it is very delicious without the industrial taste of the filled kumquat sauce.
"Today's lunch was very delicious, which chef made it?" I asked Wang Na.
"I did it." Wang Na replied in a whisper.
"Really?! I've found another good thing about you, maybe I should sign you up for a cooking class. I laughed. Wang Na's eyes flickered, but she didn't answer, I smiled in my heart, it seems that she also likes to fiddle with cooking.
"The car is ready for you, and you're ready to go." She reported to me on her work.
"Cars? I don't need a driver, uh...... I like to drive myself. I said.
"Okay, then I'll let the driver know later." She replied.
"Alright, I'm well fed, let's go." I took Wang Na's hand and walked towards the parking lot, and I felt her body stiffen as I pulled her hand. "Yun Ning, see you in the evening, remember to make up for a nap." I greeted Yun Ning.
"Okay." Yun Ning replied in a cheerful voice.
I drive a car, my favorite car is a BMW 5 series, don't ask me why, I don't have any research on cars, there are only a few license plates that can be remembered, BMW is the first vehicle brand I can remember, I think it's very fateful, and I like it very much, so I've been driving this one, according to Yun Ximing, I'm quite low-key and simple.
Wang Na sat in the passenger seat, and I was surprised that she couldn't drive. We didn't say anything all the way, so I sent Wang Na straight to the largest stationery store in the city center.
Baixin Stationery Museum flagship store, there are a variety of stationery and cultural supplies, many art students come here to purchase the utensils used to practice painting, the style is varied, very professional. Wang Na stood in front of the store at a loss, and I rolled down the window and handed her a card.
"If you have something you like, you buy it, there is no password. Don't get me wrong, just think of it as a bonus from you for me as a secretary, and buy myself a dress by the way, I really don't like professional attire. I smiled and said, Wang Na also smiled, smiled very shyly, nodded, and rushed into the stationery store. It's a bit like a scene in a Korean drama, but unfortunately I'm not a handsome male number one, I'm a generous female boss, and I simply hope to be nice to my only employee.
The person I asked was in an Italian café on the Bund, this shop is very expensive, I guessed that this guy asked me to meet here just to blackmail me, I went up to the second floor, mentally thinking, what kind of image she would appear in today, but I didn't expect to see her as soon as I entered the door.
She is wearing a red half-sleeved long pullover today, the kind of slim model, highlighting the graceful figure, the bright red gown has no patterns, solid color, only a silver rose brooch is decorated on the chest It looks very elegant, and a pair of nude patent leather high heels are pedaled on the feet, which are versatile, but the design of the wedge heel elongates the line of the legs, making the leg shape more perfect. The long black hair is tied into a bun at the back of the head, and only a hairpin is used to fix it casually, revealing a bit of classical elegance in the fashion. She barely wore makeup today, but she was also very beautiful without makeup, and the man at the table next to her kept peeking at this side, but she didn't mind.
When she saw me come in, she gracefully raised her hand to signal me where she was, and I walked straight to her.
Her name is Min Lan, I like to call her Lanlan, she is my college classmate, she can also be regarded as a best friend, and she is one of my rare same-sex friends. Here is a brief reprint of my acquaintance with Min Lan.
I don't talk much about my school days, partly because I can't remember much about how quickly it passed, and partly because I really didn't have any friends. When I was a child, I was on the safe side, and I didn't have much time to play with my classmates, so the only thing I remember as a so-called kid was taekwondo. Later, when I grew up, when I was in junior high school and high school, it was because of family reasons, and the most common sentence I heard was that the parents of other classmates reminded them, "Remember to have a good relationship with Kui Yinyin, their family heard that it is very powerful." "So most of my so-called friends are unreliable. In addition to interests, it is the so-called secret love, receiving love letters and gifts is commonplace, and it is natural to be jealous of other girls. Therefore, the classmates around me are divided into two kinds, those who need to be attached to me and make friends with me, and those who do not need to be attached to me to isolate me, and I am very open to such relationships, because it is much easier to deal with so-called interpersonal relationships. Just, friend?! Hehe, that's a very luxurious thing. I went to college in a mess, my grandmother was going to the United States, I wanted to be much more casual about freedom, and gradually the people around me didn't know much about my family and background, but my friends still didn't show up until Min Lan broke into my life.
At that time, I was very famous for taekwondo in school, and I often represented the school in various large-scale competitions, but I was very low-key and rarely participated in activities in formal settings. Min Lan majored in journalism at university, so she also participated in the club of the school newspaper, doing all kinds of interviews every day and meeting all kinds of people, which became her daily routine. Among all these kinds of things, I am also included.
Min Lan wanted to do an interview with me, but I instinctively rejected this kind of thing, and I was very resistant to any media interview, even if the media was just a school newspaper with a small audience. I thought she would be like other campus reporters, who would give up after being rejected and who knew that this guy would start stalking me. School boulevards, dormitories downstairs, training grounds, canteens, restaurants, and even commercial pedestrian streets at the school gate. She creates all kinds of "chance encounters" in the hope that I will be interviewed by her.
"I'm also a girl, so don't think I don't hit women." This is the harshest thing I have ever said to Min Lan.
"Don't slap your face, anywhere else." It was the most cheeky answer she gave me.
If it hadn't happened, I don't think I would have been interviewed by her in my life, and that time I was kidnapped. As for kidnapping, it seems to me that a group of thugs who don't know the height of the sky come out to compare with me casually, trying to cheat some money from my grandmother in this way, and of course the result is that I beat them away. However, this time was a little different, the three men followed me three streets, and I could go to a hidden place, and they were just about to make a move, when Min Lan suddenly rushed out and tried to protect me.
As a result, I ran away with the thugs, and she was honorably wounded, and she became my friend on the grounds that I owed her a favor. (To be continued......)
