121. Chapter 121
It wasn't until she heard the news of his return from her mentor that she stood there and suddenly smiled, as if at that moment, everything suddenly became clear, and she let go of everything.
Later, she spent her doctoral career at Yale, where she was a stranger to her classmates and a strange teacher, she was still focused on her studies, more focused than before, and she went to work part-time in her free time, at that time her part-time job had become high, and she could make a lot of money.
She was used to reading and writing by herself, basking in the sun on the lawn while listening to Alan Jackson's Rememberwhen.
She is also becoming more and more adept at taking care of herself, she has to eat when it's time, can't drink more than two cups of coffee, can't stay up late, can't drink alone and get slightly drunk......
It wasn't until she trained herself to be invulnerable, and it wasn't until she repaired one of her wounds again that she returned to Jiangcheng.
"What are you thinking?" Song Jingge saw that Gu Weikite had not spoken, so he asked out loud.
Thinking back, hearing Song Jingge's question, Gu Weiyuan suddenly smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I heard someone say before, 'Only old people fall in love with the countryside and jazz, and only people who want tranquility after the world want to listen to Alan Jackson', so, are you getting older and older?" ”
Song Jingge said indifferently, "After all, they are all thirty years old, and it seems that I can't accept old age." ”
"That's just as well." Gu Weiyuan nodded in agreement, and then suddenly changed his words, "But I think the meaning of music itself is to give people different emotions, it may be pleasure, but passion, it may be sadness, but it can make people feel calm, this is its own charm, but the singer is a little older, what is old or not old?" Plain is a blessing, who wants nothing to be undisturbed by the wind and waves? What's more, now that the world is progressing so fast, everyone is struggling and busy, and it is not easy to have such a peace. ”
"Little kite, you haven't changed at all."
"Nothing has changed?" Gu Weikite asked.
Song Jingge said, "As always, I like to be plain." ”
Gu Weiyi smiled silently, once upon a time, she was also vigorous, those adolescent unscrupulous made her youth chaotic, she can't blame herself now, because only after experiencing it, she can understand what is right and wrong, and what is what she really wants. It is precisely because of her mistakes and extremes that she has such an indifferent state of mind today.
"Blandness is bliss, what's wrong?"
"Of course."
Song Jingge turned up the sound of the music a little, and neither of them spoke anymore, but listened carefully to the beauty that lingered in their ears.
With a faint melody and a deep voice, this is a rare calm in this busy city.
The car circled around half of Jiangcheng and finally stopped in front of a restaurant.
The red exterior wall is covered with green vines, purple flower clusters bloom on the green vines, at the entrance, there are two large wooden flower stands, on which are placed pots of flowers in full bloom, the dining room is a typical American country style, bronze chandeliers, wooden tables and chairs, red plaid cushions and backrests, and pots of green vegetation next to each other.
Such restaurants can be found everywhere in the alleys of the United States, but there are far fewer in China, and it is not easy to find one or two.
As soon as they walked in, a service staff came up to greet them, "Mr. Song, your place has been reserved for you, please come here." ”
Under the leadership of the service staff, Gu Weikite followed Song Jingge's side, walked to a window position and sat down, where the field of vision is wide, and you can see the stars in the sky through the glass window, and outside the window, there is a sea.
"It's by the sea, and if it's daytime, it's like you're on the sea." Song Jingge handed her the menu and said, "Look, what do you want to eat?" ”
"It's not bad at night, I can see the stars in the sky more clearly." Gu Weikite took the menu and flipped a few pages, then said, "A garden salad, tomato bisque, cheese-baked lobster and tiramisu are soft and sweet." ”
Saying that, she handed the menu back to Song Jingge, Song Jingge took it and didn't look at it, so he quickly ordered a few dishes, obviously a frequent customer here, and then he looked at Gu Weiyuan and said, "I know that you like to look at the stars, I still remember that you liked to take me and Kelly to the mountains to camp at that time, and then dig a hole in the top of the tent, saying that it was so that you could lie down and watch the stars fall asleep." He couldn't help but laugh when he said this, "I still remember a rainstorm, it came as soon as it was said, and I didn't have time to prepare, the rain soaked both of us all at once, and we had no choice but to rub Kelly's tent that night, but she was also a double tent, and she couldn't sleep at all, so the three of us sat in the tent all night." Kelly nagged you all night, and you scolded the weather station all night. ”
Speaking of the past troubles, Gu Weikite couldn't help but smile, sometimes she was persistent, and even she was speechless, "Originally, I always thought that only China's weather forecast was inaccurate, but I didn't expect that the whole world is the same." ”
"I still remember that after that time, you also went to audit the meteorology major class and devoted yourself to research for many days."
"It's better to rely on others than on yourself, but I've listened to it in vain, and now I only know a scratch of the surface."
"At that time, you always dragged me to accompany you, but every time I ran to sleep, you rolled your eyes at me every time you got out of class."
Gu Weiyuan smiled, "No, I always thought that you were a scholar, no matter what you learned, you can be very serious and learn well, but I didn't expect you to be the only one who is not interested in the weather." ”
Song Jingge looked at Gu Weiqi, his eyes smiled and completed the small crescent, "Speaking of these past events, it seems to have happened yesterday." Little kite, I really thank God for not making you strange to me two years ago. I didn't expect that it would be a gift from God for you to return to Jiangcheng for me to meet you again. ”
Gu Weiyuan smiled, deliberately ignoring the complicated things in his eyes when he looked at her, and changed the topic, "People say that only old people will like to recall the past more and more, it seems that you are really old." ”
Song Jingge shrugged indifferently, "Didn't I admit it before, I'm indeed old." is so old that he has lost the self-confidence of his youth, and he has lost the courage of his youth. ”
Gu Weikite kept smiling, but did not speak again.
When the appetizer came up, she took a bite and said, "It's delicious, it seems that you have found a lot of good places in Jiangcheng in the past two years." ”
Song Jingge said, "No way, I'm old, I always miss the days in the United States, so I always search for something American, intentionally or unintentionally." Whenever I eat here, it's like when I was in the United States. ”
Gu Weikite didn't smile anymore, she pursed her lips, and suddenly said seriously, "Actually, since you have chosen, you don't have to regret it." Jingge, what do you say? ”
"You're right...... But people are always greedy, isn't it, if once he feels that he has one more chance, even if he is not sure how good the chance is, he always wants to fight for it, and he never wants to slip out of his hands again. Song Jingge also said very seriously.
Gu Weiyi lowered her head slightly, and did not answer his words, as if she was eating salad seriously, she was not eating slowly, and she seemed to be very hungry.
Facing the appetizer on the table, Song Jingge didn't move, his eyes kept falling on Gu Weiyu's body, seeing that she was silent, he suddenly said, "Little kite, in fact, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sudden movement beside him, he didn't go on, but looked at the man opposite who took the initiative to sit down next to Gu Weiyuan without moving.
Gu Weikite also noticed the movement around her, she stopped eating, and suddenly raised her head, she looked at the man sitting next to her who suddenly appeared, her pupils unconsciously dilated, "Why are you here?" ”
Qiao Yimo said, "When I saw you follow him after work, as the person in charge of the company, I think I have a reason to come and have a look." He said seriously, then turned his eyes to look at Song Jingge opposite, slightly hooked the corners of his lips and stretched out his hand to say, "Mr. Song, hello, come on, I shouldn't have to introduce myself more, right?" ”
Song Jingge also smiled back, stretched out his hand, and held Qiao Yimo's hand tightly, "Mr. Qiao, hello." ”
Sitting back in his position, there was already a waiter serving Qiao Yimo food, obviously he was planning to sit here and share dinner with them, he looked at Song Jingge and said, "I hope Mr. Song doesn't mind that I disturbed your date with Xiao Kite, but you also know that you have a special identity and are our company's biggest competitor now, and Xiao Kite now happens to be in charge of the case in the west of the city. Now everyone in the company is saying that you have an improper relationship with Little Kite, and the board of directors has begun to intervene. And now, you are sitting together for dinner, and I think it would be better for me to be here so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the little kite. After all, it is not a wise choice for you to be alone in this special time. So, I also hope that Mr. Song will forgive me for being uninvited. ”
"Mr. Qiao laughed, how could I mind? As the saying goes, the clear is self-clearing, me and the little kite are just ordinary normal interactions, and the content of the conversation is not a word about work, and there is absolutely nothing others think. But thank you for being so considerate of the little kite. ”
Song Jingge said calmly and quietly, but there was a burst of guilt in his heart, no wonder, he would hear such gossip at the door of Xiao Kite's company before, he didn't know that such a thing happened before he went, and he didn't know that Xiao Kite was now in charge of the case in Chengxi, if he knew, he would definitely not go downstairs to her company and bring her such trouble.
