Chapter 128: Revisiting the Old Place
Jiang Peilan was slightly stunned, looked at the bicycle in front of her, and then at Xia Yun, her lonely and gloomy heart suddenly warmed, and she smiled and stopped Xia Yun, who was walking towards the store again, "Why are you going?" ”
Xia Yun stopped and didn't look back, "This one is for you, I don't have my own, of course I have to carry another one!" ”
"No need, I haven't ridden in years, and I can't ride anymore, so you can take me!"
Xia Yun looked back slightly, looked at Jiang Peilan's serious eyes, and shrugged his shoulders, "To be honest, I haven't ridden a bicycle for many years, if the bicycle had a driver's license, it is estimated that it would have been revoked a long time ago, are you sure you want to ride in my car?" ”
Jiang Peilan pursed her lips and smiled.
………………
"You and I are mortals, born in the world, running around all day long, not idle for a moment, since we are not immortals, it is inevitable that there will be distracting thoughts, morality is put on both sides, and the word is placed in the middle......"
This afternoon, there is a beautiful scenery in Dongxiang Town, a young man is humming a song in his mouth and riding a bicycle, followed by a girl in white with a smile on his face and his waist around his waist, walking around this small ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, looking for traces of the old days.
I walked into the old theater with a small square in front of the door, walked through the old alley paved with bluestone slabs, listened to the bells of the old church with a spire cross, stepped all over the park that has become a center of leisure activities for citizens, ate two bowls of Lanzhou ramen at the Dongxiang noodle restaurant with a history of more than 20 years, and rode to the 100-year-old Dongxiang Middle School......
It's just that at the gate of the school, the two were stopped by the security guards, on the grounds that they were preparing for the centennial celebration, and outsiders were temporarily refused to enter!
Xia Yun grabbed Jiang Peilan, who still wanted to ink with the security guard, and smiled slightly, "Follow me!" ”
took Jiang Peilan to ride along the school wall for half a lap, and stopped at a small gap after the last lap.
It is said that it is a gap, but in fact, the wall of this section is significantly shorter than the one next to it. It's only about two meters high, the walls are level, there is no broken glass or anything like that, and outside is a somewhat secluded path with a circle of street trees like camphor on the side of the road.
Xia Yun pushed the car, stood under the wall, shrugged his shoulders at Jiang Peilan, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and this prison escape point is still there." Sometimes I wonder if our teachers deliberately kept this point so that they could arrest people at any time! ”
Jiang Peilan heard the shouting sound coming from afar inside, and looked up at the wall curiously, "What prison escape point?" ”
Xia Yun smiled, "You are a good student, of course you don't know what to do, this prison escape point is tacitly used by us poor students to skip class and skip evening self-study." A dedicated place to sneak out and play, and every time a nest escapes from here...... Of course, the teacher catches people one litter after another! ”
Locked the bike under the wall and crouched down facing the wall. Stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and motioned to Jiang Peilan, "You go first!" ”
Jiang Peilan pursed her lips and smiled a little curiously, and stepped on Xia Yun's shoulder while holding on to the wall. Then Xia Yun got up, supported her feet, and sent Jiang Peilan directly to the wall.
Wait for Jiang Peilan to stand firm on the wall. Xia Yun took two steps back, jumped up in a sprint, and with a little bit of strength on the wall on his toes, he climbed onto the wall.
Inside the fence is the school's playground, where two teams are playing football, and the shouting they heard just now comes from this.
Xia Yun acted as a human ladder again, took Jiang Peilan off the wall, and the two walked into the campus along the track of the playground, and slowly walked around the alma mater of this high school.
"It's good to be young! Nothing to worry about every day! ”
Looking at the sweaty boys running on the field and some girls cheering for them next to her, Jiang Peilan didn't know what to think of, and sighed leisurely.
Xia Yun turned his eyes around and noticed another place, "Peilan, have you noticed that our alma mater has hardly changed from more than ten years ago, the teaching buildings, dormitories, canteens, and playgrounds are still the same, but they are a little older......
"Yes, they are all decades old, they should be repaired, otherwise they will all become dangerous buildings!"
The two sat quietly in the stands, chatting casually without a word, looking at the sweaty boys running in the playground, and the girls cheering for them next to them, as if they saw themselves back then, how simple but also carefree......
The sun went down, the sky was getting dark, and the boys and girls had finished kicking their balls, Xia Yun and Jiang Peilan looked at each other and smiled, and walked to the prison escape point behind the playground.
Repeating the procedure of coming in, just when he jumped off the wall and glanced around, Xia Yun suddenly leaned in, startling Jiang Peilan.
"What's wrong?"
"Our bikes were stolen......"
Jiang Peilan was slightly stunned, and looked at the place where Xia Yun had parked just now, and sure enough, the white bicycle that had just been bought for a few hours was gone, and then turned her head to look at Xia Yun's depressed expression, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"What then?"
"Cold salad! Anyway, it has already completed its great mission, and if you lose it, you will lose it, but it will have to work our two legs. ”
Jiang Peilan smiled and looked at Xia Yun like water, "Xia Yun, if I say, how much is this bicycle, if I compensate you for one, will you turn your face?" ”
Xia Yun shrugged his shoulders, "It's good to know the way, let's go, find a place to eat, and after eating, you should go back to Licheng...... Oh, Perran, you're back to Yue Ning at night, aren't you? ”
"I don't want to eat, I suddenly want to drink, Xia Yun, come with me to find a bar to sit down!"
"It's okay to drink, but you still have to eat first, it's taboo to drink on an empty stomach, but let's say it first, since you're drinking, I won't drink, someone has to drive......"
"Just throw the car aside, at most take a taxi back, didn't you say that you sacrificed your life to accompany the gentleman, for the sake of the face of the old classmate for many years, you can accompany me to get drunk!"
Xia Yun looked at Jiang Peilan's water-cutting autumn eyes, remembered the tears she had just knelt in front of her father's grave, and sighed slightly, "Count you ruthless!" ”
It was still a little early, Xia Yun called home, saying that he was with a classmate, and he wouldn't go back to eat at night, and he didn't know when he would go home, so they didn't have to worry about themselves, and after shopping with Jiang Peilan for a while, he found a place to solve dinner, and then drove back to Yuening.
In Viet Ninh, there is a 1912 bar street, which is full of more than a dozen bars of different styles, large and small, and the two of them randomly found a bar that looked like a casual style, parked the car, and pushed the door in.
The bar is very large, estimated to have more than 100 square meters, luxuriously decorated, a long bar, a large dance floor in the middle, some booths scattered around it, and a stage more than half a meter high, with some pianos, guitars, saxophones, drums and other musical instruments on it.
In the dim light, a long-haired, artsy bar singer is sitting on a high chair with a guitar and singing a Richard? Max's "RightHereWaitForYou."
found a booth facing the stage and sat down side by side, ordered some food, and then Jiang Peilan ordered another bottle of one-and-a-half-liter Hennessy XO, and Xia Yunzhi frowned.
It's not because the price on the bar menu is clearly marked, the selling price is nearly two thousand, but Jiang Peilan obviously wants to get drunk on herself or both of them.
Waving his hand to let the waiter leave, looking at Xia Yun frowning, Jiang Peilan smiled slightly, "I just caused you to lose a bicycle that you bought less than half a day, and I will treat you at night and make amends to you!" ”
Xia Yun sighed helplessly, "When old classmates meet, how can there be a reason for a girl to have a treat, I still invited this wine, but, look at your arrogance, it is clear that you want to throw the two of us here, there is no need to be so ruthless, right?" ”
"It's rare to want to indulge once, so you're going to leave me ......"
Jiang Peilan narrowed her eyes and looked at Xia Yun with a smile, "You can see that you are very good, do you really not put the two or three thousand wine money in your eyes, where can you make a fortune?" ”
"I made some money by trading stocks with my classmates, and I am currently an unemployed vagrant! As for you, you seem to be much better than me, and the millions of luxury cars of Bai Fumei will let you drive them casually! ”
Xia Yun said this excuse that he had said countless times again, and until now, even he himself has a little belief that he has made a lot of money by trading stocks with the help of his classmates.
Go back and ask Wang Xiaoer, is there really a relative in the family who is a leader in the Securities Regulatory Commission......
At this time, the snacks ordered by the two came up, and the bottle of Hennessy XO was also opened by the waiter and placed on the table, Xia Yun took out his wallet and paid for it, Jiang Peilan filled it for himself and Xia Yun, and raised the goblet with a slight smile, "I am also pulling the tiger skin and pulling the banner, and people have asked me for it, so they are so polite to me!" ”
Xia Yun secretly sighed that his wine ring was finally broken, and raised his glass and touched Jiang Peilan gently, "Idle is idle, let's hear it?" ”
"I am now in the United States, holding a private family venture capital fund, this time I came to Yuening, I want to cooperate with the enterprises here to develop and establish a biomedical science and technology park, there are currently two or three alternative companies, all of which are still in the inspection period, but the possibility of cooperation with Liu Mengqing's group enterprise at home is the greatest, so ...... You know! ”
If Xia Yun just casually asked just now, then he was really surprised now, and looked this high school classmate up and down before whistling.
"Although I don't know much about biomedical technology and the like, it seems to be very awesome, what kind of venture capital fund do you plan to invest a lot of money? Let them slap you like that! ”
"The investment in the first phase is about 200 million......"
Jiang Peilan drank all the wine in the cup, looked at Xia Yun's surprised eyes, smiled, and added, "Dollars!" ”
