"Morning and evening." He Dongyang saw that she was stunned and blocked other people's paths, so he took her hand and took her to his side.
Ning Chaoxi subconsciously responded, but her eyes were still staring at the person on the stairs, and she noticed that there was a young and beautiful woman standing next to him, and the two were very close.
"Morning and evening." He Dongyang called her again, he held her hand, and noticed that her palm was cold and trembling slightly, he was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are your hands so cold? ”
The gallery was quiet, the conversation was very shallow, and their conversation naturally fell into Chen Xun's ears, his eyes staring at their holding hands, his eyes were extraordinarily deep.
The person next to him sensed that something was wrong, and he also stopped, and called him softly: "Ah Xun? ”
Chen Xun lightly retracted his gaze and said to the woman beside him: "Miss Zhou, I suddenly remembered that there was something I couldn't send you, I'm sorry." ”
Zhou Xin shook her head and smiled politely, she tilted her head slightly: "It's okay, then let's wait for you to have a date?" ”
"Hmm." He responded tepidly, and out of politeness and hospitality habits, Chen Xun still sent her to the door of the gallery and watched her get into the car before walking back.
"Morning and evening, it's not early, are you hungry, do you want to eat something?" He Dongyang saw that he had almost finished shopping here, and it was almost time to eat, so he asked the people around him.
Ning Chaoxi watched Chen Xun walking towards him, his expression was still a little stunned, he felt like he was in a dream, his eyes were staring at him, and he didn't even dare to blink.
I haven't seen him for eight years, he is still the same as before, his skin is fair, his face is as handsome as jade, his facial features are more and more exquisite and perfect than in the past, he has been carved over the years, his eyebrows are calm and picturesque, and today's temperature is low, but he seems to be not afraid of the cold, he is only wearing a dark black long slim windbreaker, with a pure white shirt inside, and the whole person's temperament is restrained and clean.
The same black trench coat, she really didn't recognize the wrong person last time in the wholesale market, and it was he she saw.
"Morning and evening." Chen Xun stood still in front of her, her name pronounced out of his mouth as melodious as a poem, and he said, "Long time no see." ”
Ning Chaoxi nodded and replied, "Long time no see." ”
"Who is this?" The two men spoke at the same time, and as they spoke, their eyes raised slightly, and they fell on each other at the same time.
Ning Chaoxi came back to his senses and introduced to the person in front of him: "This is He Dongyang, my friend. She raised her eyes to look at Chen Xun and said to He Dongyang: "This is Chen Xun, my ......"
She was speechless, and suddenly didn't know how to introduce him, but in order not to let people notice the abnormality, she quickly helped him find a reasonable identity: "My high school classmate." ”
When Chen Xun heard her introduction, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were a little dark.
"Chen Xun?" He Dongyang muttered and repeated his name, a little familiar, suddenly remembered something, looked back at the painting behind him, and said in surprise: "You are Chen Xun?" So you created the painting? "He just saw the price and noticed the creator of the painting, which happened to be written with the word 'Chen Xun'.
Seeing him nodding in acknowledgement, He Dongyang smiled and said to Ning Chaoxi: "Chaoxi, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful high school classmate." ”
Hearing the words 'morning and evening' in his mouth was very harsh, and hearing him say the words 'high school classmates' again, Chen Xun's face suddenly turned cold.
Ning Chaoxi smiled awkwardly, she didn't expect Chen Xun to be the creator of this painting, but it is not surprising, looking at his current appearance, it seems that he is doing well, although the clothes on his body are of a single style, but looking at the texture and fabric, as well as the pure gold collar button, she knows that his outfit must be worth a lot.
"Do you have time to have a meal together?" Chen Xun asked Ning Chaoxi when he said this.
Before she could speak, He Dongyang said on the side: "It's rare to meet high school classmates day and night, and I should come to treat you to this meal." ”
Chen Xun glanced at him and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I just want to eat alone with her." ”
Ning Chaoxi was still a little foggy when she followed Chen Xun into this Italian restaurant, until the waiter in a white shirt and black vest took the menu and put it in front of her, and Chen Xun said to her, "Look at what you want to eat." She came to her senses.
Flipping through the menu, her fingers slid over the name of the dish, her eyes stared at the actual photo, and finally ordered lasagna, Chen Xun was just like her.
The person who was thinking about it was right in front of her, and she was thinking about him like crazy when she didn't see him, but Ning Chaoxi didn't dare to look at him directly after seeing him, she was afraid that she couldn't suppress some impulses in her heart, so she kept staring at the glass in front of her, and her hands were also holding the warm cup noodles: "How have you been doing all these years?" ”
"It's fine." Chen Xun looked at her and said, still as little as before, "What about you?" ”
"It's good." The corners of Ning Chaoxi's lips pulled into a smile.
After these two sentences of dialogue, the atmosphere between the two fell into silence again, Ning Chaoxi lowered her head, and didn't dare to ask who the woman who was with him in the gallery just now, she remembered that Shen Xi told her that eight years is enough to change a person, you can't guarantee that he won't like someone else, and you can't guarantee that he won't marry a wife and have children.
The thought of this sent chills to her body, and she was afraid to hear that answer from his mouth.
"How long have you been back?" Ning Chaoxi asked him.
"It's been almost half a year."
"Oh."
"You didn't live where you used to?" Ning Chaoxi heard him ask.
She nodded: "Yes, my family moved in my sophomore year, but I don't live at home now." ”
"Hmm."
Ning Chaoxi felt that after so many years, Chen Xun still hadn't changed, she was still calm like a piece of wood, and the most changed was herself, as if she was a little more timid and cowardly than before, and a lot less wanton and carefree, like this, even she herself didn't like it a little.
The waiter brought the lasale they ordered to the table, and Ning Chaoxi picked up the fork and rolled the noodles, and heard him ask, "The one just now, not only your ordinary friend, is he interested in you?" His words were not in a questioning tone, but in a somewhat determined tone.
Ning Chaoxi didn't expect him to say this, the fork in his hand paused, and generously admitted: "It's possible, he is the blind date introduced by my father." ”
"You're on a blind date?" Chen Xun said.
Ning Chaoxi pretended to smile lightly: "Yes, what's strange, I'm so old." ”
Yes, she was already so old, she still felt very small when she was in high school, but in a blink of an eye she was already so old, through those difficult and long years, at this moment, she suddenly realized that time passed so quickly.
Without waiting for him to speak, Ning Chaoxi seemed to open the conversation box at once: "You seem to be doing well, the car you drove just now is a Maserati, and the gallery in the Creative Park just now was opened by you, right?" Are you a painter now? A painting is worth a lot of money......"
"Chen Xun, you are really powerful, even more powerful than I imagined......"
Sure enough, she couldn't say too much, her nose was sour as soon as she said it, Ning Chaoxi hurriedly lowered her head to eat noodles, and stuffed it into her mouth in a big gulp, trying to stop the sour and trembling lips that surged into her heart, but the hand holding the fork trembling lightly betrayed her pretended calm look.
"Eat slowly." Chen Xun watched as the sauce in her hurry was on the corner of her lips, and he took a tissue and wanted to help her wipe it off.
"I ...... I'll do it myself. Ning Chaoxi swallowed the noodles in her mouth, reached out and took the tissue in his hand, but accidentally touched his hand, she trembled, and retracted her hand in a panic: "I'm sorry......"
She bit her trembling lip and looked at him, her eyes gradually filled with mist, desperately trying to suppress the sourness surging in her heart.
She actually wanted to tell him that she had really missed him all these years, that she often couldn't sleep at night, that she couldn't sleep again when she woke up in the middle of the night, and that she remembered his face and figure as soon as she closed her eyes...... But when these words came to her lips, she didn't dare to say them.
As Shen Xi said, there are so many things that can be changed in the past eight years, and she can't be sure if he still maintains the same state of mind and emotions back then, and whether he also misses himself unforgettable.
Because I am not sure, I have a lot of scruples and worries when I want to blurt out some words, and I can't say them.
Chen Xun saw her depressed and forbearant appearance, and was stunned, and his heart seemed to be clenched at that moment, and it hurt faintly.
Ning Chaoxi raised his hand to cover his eyes, let go of his lips and smiled, and made excuses for himself bluntly: "Chen Xun, this noodle is really delicious...... Delicious ...... It's delicious, I kind of want to cry...... I've never had such delicious noodles......"
The reason is too lame, Ning Chaoxi himself doesn't believe it, let alone Chen Xun, the atmosphere changed when she was so disturbed by her, but fortunately, a phone call rescued her in time.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with her head down and pulled her phone out of her bag.
It was her cousin Shen Xi who called.
"Hey, Chaoxi, where are you?" Shen Xi's tone was a little anxious.
"I'm eating, what's wrong?" Ning Chaoxi glanced at the person opposite with an uncertain expression.
"Dudu has a fever, I'll take him to the hospital now, you can go home later and help us cook some porridge and send it to the Municipal People's Hospital."
"Okay, I'll go over right away."
Ning Chaoxi hung up the phone and put away the phone, looked at the person opposite and said, "Chen Xun, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to leave now, let's make an appointment next time." With that, she got up, and without waiting for his reaction, picked up her bag and left.
But after walking a few steps, she turned back and looked at him, her tone was a little humble and earnest: "Chen Xun, it's inconvenient for you to give me your contact information......
Chen Xun stared at her reddened eyes and didn't speak, she looked away in a few seconds, and called the waiter to pay, Ning Chaoxi looked at this scene more and more embarrassed, she clenched her hands and said softly: "I'm sorry, next time I'll have a treat." ”
After paying the bill, Chen Xun asked the waiter for paper and pen, he unscrewed the cap of the pen and wrote a string of numbers on the white paper, Ning Chaoxi watched him write down his phone number, in fact, he wanted to tell him to say that he would save it directly, but he had already finished writing it and handed her the note.
"Thanks, would you like to save my number?" Ning Chaoxi asked.
Seeing him take out his mobile phone, Ning Chaoxi reported a string of numbers to him.
After saving the number, he said, "Where are you going, I'll send you." ”
"No need."
"Let's go." Not allowing her to refuse, Chen Xun took the lead and walked out of the door.
Ning Chaoxi sat in the passenger seat of the Maserati, holding the note he gave in his hand, and suddenly felt a little hot.
The man next to her drove the car quietly and calmly, he had never seen Ning Chaoxi before, and her impression was still that he was handsome when he rode a bicycle to carry her, sure enough, she couldn't help but admit it, there was still a gap between her and Chen Xun in the past eight years, and this gap, like a chasm, lay between them, and she could not ignore and refuse.
