Chapter 31: Attending the Dinner Party
This silence lasted for a long time, and I was silent not because I was angry, but I just felt that Li Shi had told the truth in advance, but no, I went just to make a fool of myself.
Li Shi seemed to be tired of fighting with me in words, she didn't continue to hurt me, and I finally indulged myself in this good time at noon, not wanting to think about anything, and it was only at this time that I felt a little dignity, because my brain was blank, as long as I didn't think about the oppression of life, I was dignified.
When it was time to eat, I rode my bicycle to the neighborhood to buy some ingredients, and when I came back, I cooked non-stop, and Li Shi started to tidy up the room and wash all the bedding after getting up.
After stir-frying two dishes, I cooked a tomato and egg soup, and after cleaning up, I brought the dishes to the stone table in the courtyard, and set up the chopsticks to hold the rice.
Li Shi looked at me with a questioning expression and said, "You don't plan to win people's hearts again, right?" I'm not going to eat you anymore this time. ”
After listening to Li Shi's high-sounding answer, I immediately scoffed, and immediately shot back: "Look at you, you always speculate on the world with malice, I have been busy all day long, and I don't hit the smiling person when I reach out, you see that the meal is ready, you have to give face, right?" ”
"Don't give it!"
Li Shi's answer didn't discourage me, because when I asked her just now, it was mostly a joke, and I didn't expect what would happen to her, but I still smiled and asked her: "Your score is too big, and it is more difficult to invite you to eat than heaven." ”
"Have you been to heaven?"
Although I know that Li Shi's words are mostly jokes, it still gives me a wonderful feeling that we have now changed from quarrels to fights. Seeing that I was speechless, Li Shi smiled, and a beam of noon sunlight fell on her black hair, fluttering in the wind, and sat opposite me in a little distraction.
"That's why I'm obedient, come, drink some soup before eating, and my stomach won't hurt."
"I didn't think you were quite good at taking care of people."
"The main one sitting across from her is a beautiful woman with a good temperament."
Li Shi took a sip of the soup, almost didn't squirt out, and looked at me with a red face and a little speechless: "Yu Hang, you want me to be unable to eat, why are you so numb!" ”
"Is there one? Which flesh is numb? ”
This question seemed to make her a little embarrassed, and she subconsciously combed the ends of her hair before saying, "Shut up and eat!" ”
"Shut up, you might as well eat one for me to see."
Li Shi slapped the chopsticks on the table, looked at me speechlessly, and said angrily, "Can you still eat well?" ”
I was a little helpless about Li Shi's non-cooperation, but I was afraid that I would really annoy her, so I ate without saying a word.
The reason why I deliberately said something unashamed was because in the past, Li Shi usually behaved very indifferently, but this time I suddenly blushed......
After the unpleasant topic, Li Shi lowered her head and ate rice, avoiding my gaze, and was silent for a long time.
Before Li Shi arrived, I basically ate alone, and now, two "opponents" who want to throw each other out, but they sit and eat together, think about this life is really varied, the good topic was ended by me, and it was embarrassing to eat like this, I led to a new topic, but Li Shi didn't pick up the stalk, still eating with her head down like just now, and even the dishes were rarely sandwiched, and the gusts of wind that blew the direct light were blown away, So it decorated her face even more.
……
After a simple lunch, I began to prepare the marketing plan for the peak period of tourism, leaving me with only about half a month, but when I thought that this copywriting may not even have the opportunity to implement, my thinking could not be opened, even after a brain-racking afternoon, I still did not find a good marketing idea, maybe the hostel is really going to come to an end in my unwillingness.
In stark contrast to my upset, Li Shi hummed a song while putting away the sheets to dry, and when she was done, she actually took the initiative to walk up to me and hand me a key to the door of the hostel.
I looked at her and wondered for a while, but she didn't care and walked back to the room, could it be that this was to prevent me from changing the locks when I was away, so I came to buy people's hearts?
I was wondering, Li Shi walked out with a vegetable basket and an elderly flower shirt, at this time I was on her, and I could no longer see any traces of urban young women, walking on the street, if I didn't know her, I really didn't dare to determine where she came from.
"Where did you learn to dress up, no matter how good your temperament is, you have lost it."
Li Shi put down the vegetable basket and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "I see that the storage room is there, so I'll put it on and try it, don't judge people by their appearance, what's there to make a fuss about." ”
"What's in your basket?"
"Clothes."
I smiled apologetically at Li Shi and said, "I really don't dare to compliment you on your dressing taste now." You're such a weird guy looking for these weird clothes to wear. ”
Li Shi was a little embarrassed by what I said, and only said to me after a while: "Yes, if you don't look for strange clothes to match, how can you express your personality?" ”
"I think you're deliberately reminding me not to go to the dinner party, or you're going to embarrass me right now, aren't you?"
After being broken by my words, Li Shi shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent attitude.
"Then will you help me tonight?"
Li Shi suddenly changed her tone of relief and said, "Who is this crying to?" Where did that energy go just now, and then complain! ”
I didn't pay attention to Li Shi's praise and disparagement, and said when I saw the move: "I promise that from now on, I will leave the smiling face to the audience and throw the crying voice to myself, it's not okay!" ”
Li Shi didn't reply to me immediately, and for a moment it made me a little tangled, I sat dry, staring at the vegetable basket in a daze, but thinking in my heart what kind of answer Li Shi would give herself.
Although I felt that the wait was a bit long, this was in itself a matter of asking Li Shi for help, and it was not too reluctant, and after a while of silence, I finally said: "You think slowly, I wish you could figure it out before five o'clock, and then I will take your car with me." ”
Li Shi looked like she wouldn't let me succeed, lifted the basket from the ground, waved her hand and said, "I'm going shopping, I won't come back until the evening, if you want me to help, it's better to die of this heart." ”
After speaking, Li Shi "escaped" with a quick pace, as if I was afraid that I would chase her, I wanted to catch up, but I couldn't think of a reason to pester her......
With the sound of the car starting, Li Shi left, looking at the light and shadow from the green plants, I leaned on the chair tiredly, I looked at it for too long, my vision became tired, and my eyes were blurry, but Jingqi's appearance suddenly became clear in my mind, and I repeatedly struggled for a quarter of an hour before I took out my mobile phone and dialed Jingqi's number, I wanted to talk to her, and I waited anxiously, but what I got was a text message call.
After Li Shi left, I actually felt more and more lonely, and then I felt the overwhelming emptiness, so I habitually made myself a cup of tea, stood on the roof and looked at the world under my feet, and when I came back to my senses, the evening had come unconsciously, so the lingering emptiness was relatively much more......
It seems that Li Shi really doesn't plan to come back, yes, how can she sympathize with my experience, it's ridiculous to think about.
……
Since Jing Qi has not been contacted, I can't let this pigeon go, no matter how difficult it is, I have to grit my teeth to face it...... I picked a well-fitting suit from the closet, changed into the casual clothes I usually wear, and after taking a shower, I shaved again, and blew a satisfactory hairstyle in the mirror, and then I looked at myself in the mirror, I haven't worn it so formally to a public event for a long time.
Since I took over the hostel, I have lived in seclusion and spent almost all my energy on management, not that I don't want to go out and participate in some activities, but when everything is pressed on one person, if it is not for the ideal, maybe no matter how positive a person is, it will become numb flesh and blood......
After walking for about ten minutes, after leaving the scenic spot, I rushed to catch the bus non-stop, and finally arrived at the Guoyuan Hotel after three buses.
I didn't have an admission ticket, and I didn't know any of the activity process, I thought it would take a lot of effort to enter the event site, but I didn't expect to meet my old classmate Qu Sen in the hotel lobby, he is my university dormitory next door, quite a good brother, we are all tourism management majors, now he seems to be more decent and glamorous than me, after a few small talks, I didn't expect him to be one of the initiators of this event, follow him, enter the venue without hindrance.
Entering the dinner scene, the walls around are full of photography and paintings, obviously, this is a dinner with the theme of "artistic expression", Qu Sen and I browse the photos, while chatting about the recent situation, as I expected, he is quite good, currently in the "Laiyue Travel Agency" as a sales manager, you must know that "Laiyue" is currently the most outstanding travel agency in Xi'an, the business scope covers a wide range, the "Laiyue Hotel" opposite the hostel is the best witness, the beauty of the travel agency President Jiang Laiyue is very bold, In the past two years, the cause has been booming.
Qu Sen, who didn't like to talk in college, has now become eloquent, and our topic has also changed from the beautiful college days to the cruel real life, I don't want to spoil the mood, I happened to see the busy Jing Qi, and Qu Sen chatted for a while, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost 6:40 at this time, according to Qu Sen's introduction in advance, the event was about to start at 7 o'clock.
Jing Qi trotted up to me and asked, "What about that girl?" Didn't come with you? ”
"I don't know if she's coming."
"Is she sure she's coming? You quickly call him to urge him. ”
I nodded, flipped out the SMS record, found Li Shi's number, dialed for a while, and said with some anxiety: "I called, no one answered ......"
"What's the situation?"
"If you don't come, don't come, it's fine."
Jing Qi said with some annoyance in worry: "Fool, she is not coming, why are you still here!" ”
I smiled at Jingqi, but I understood that she was accommodating me, which was very understandable, she was afraid that I would be wronged alone, so she comforted: "Don't worry, I said that I will eat and drink, no one can take me easy!" ”
Jing Qi was still a little worried, and flipped over the collar of his shirt for me, and at this time, Shen Hao, who suddenly appeared not far from the next door, waved to me with a smile and motioned for me to come over......
