142 Emotional torture
Yu Xiaochun and Tang Wen's reunion was interrupted by an airport announcement and came to an abrupt end.
"Ms. En Tang, please proceed to Gate A12 as soon as possible, boarding for the flight from Houston to Boston is coming to an end."
Yu Xiaochun and Tang Wen looked at their phones at the same time. Sure enough, time flies so fast, and before I know it, I have been chatting for almost two hours, and Tang Wen's transit time in Houston is running out.
"Oops, I didn't expect to leave again so soon." Tang Wen smiled and said with a little regret, "Send me a >." Yu Xiaochun lifted Tang Wen's boarding suitcase and said, "Then I'll send you to the security checkpoint." ”

Yu Xiaochun saw Tang Wen disappear quickly into the fast security channel, looked at the direction of the flow of people and stayed for a while before turning his head and walking towards the parking lot. He took out his mobile phone and dialed José Rodríguez:
"Jose, where are you? Where do I go to find you, parking lot? ”
"No, no, we're on the departure floor, you go straight out."
"We? Hey, aren't you alone, Jose...? ”
"Just come out." Jose cut off the phone, leaving Yu Xiaochun confused. Why did you suddenly run out of "us"? Shouldn't José be alone waiting for him in the parking lot?
But Yu Xiaochun quickly figured it out. His two roommates, Yang Yiming and Nina, were waiting outside the glass door on the departure floor, and in the distance, a Buick GL8 was lit up with double flashes, and the co-pilot's window fell, and it was not the Mexican Jose who waved at him in the driver's seat.
"Y-why are you all here?" Yu Xiaochun was stunned and spread his hands at the three of them.
"Hey, buddy, we're here to give you moral support." Yang Yiming, in turn, also rushed to Xiaochun to spread his hands.
"Emotional counseling, lad." Nina added.
"Are you kidding? I've already seen everyone else, so it's only too late. Of course, Yu Xiaochun knew that they were just here to join in the fun, but he couldn't get angry and could only protest weakly.
"It's not too late, maybe you've just met your ex-girlfriend, and it's just the moment when you're most confused and confused. There will be a lot of feelings that cannot be expressed, and you need to find someone to talk to. So we're here to save you. Yang Yiming patted his chest, looking heroic and righteous.
"You don't have an ex-girlfriend! Besides, you just want to hear gossip! ”
"Well, that's the idea." Nina gloated from the sidelines.
Jose in the car in the distance couldn't wait, and after two horns, he shouted at them through the car window: "Stop muttering, let our Mr. Xiaoyu (Jose's nickname for Yu Xiaochun) get in the car quickly - we can't let our love star catch a cold in the cold wind, let's find a place to eat, sit down and interview slowly!" ”
"Let's go!"
Yang Yiming and Nina walked left and right, and Yu Xiaochun felt like he was being put on a thief car.

Taco Bell (Mexican restaurant chain).
A pile of food was spread out on the table between the four people, and while everyone was feasting, they asked Yu Xiaochun more about the details of the reunion with his ex-girlfriend Tang Wen.
"So why did she come to the United States just to see you?" José was the first to strike.
"No, she said she came to negotiate business on behalf of the company, an overseas M&A project."
"Overseas M&A?" Jose took a big bite of the Mexican chicken burrito in his hand, and said a little sarcastically, "Sure enough, you Chinese are the best." We Mexicans worked hard for the Americans, and we finally snatched back the jobs that sold cheap labor from China, and in the end you bought all the business. ”
"Jose, that's not the point!" Nina interrupted.
"So what's the point?" José was furious.
"The point is, if you came to the United States for work, then why did you deliberately make a difference and ask Xiaochun to meet." Sure enough, Nina, who is still a woman, is more to the point about emotional problems.
"She... She said she just wanted to come and see me, like an old friend, and nothing else. ”
"Didn't mean anything else?!"
"It's all a woman's routine!"
"Where is there any simple 'look', deceitful!" Yu Xiaochun's answer aroused Yang Yiming, Jose, and Nina to exclaim in turn.
"Then what do you think I should say - I can't just tear her down and ask her, 'Did you want to get back together with me again, that's why you came to me?' If people don't mean that at all, I'm not embarrassed. Yu Xiaochun grabbed a piece of fries and dipped it in tomato sauce to eat. He shook his head, wondering why Mexican restaurants sell fries.
"What does Tang Wen look like, is it worth your dreams?"
"Yes, yes, are there any photos, show us." Yang Yiming's question received a positive response from Jose.
"There should be a circle of friends..."
"Take it out and have a look."
was in a hurry, Yu Xiaochun really had no choice, so he had to wipe his hands with a napkin, took out his mobile phone to unlock it, and handed it to Yang Yiming, saying, "Look, the top one, she > "Oh, I'll send you a message to report before boarding." Yang Yiming teased Xiaochun. He clicked on the chat history of "Wen", and the last one was sent by the other party, "Finally caught up, I feel that the whole cabin is staring at me (covering my face)." I'm very happy to see you today, let's talk back. ”
Yang Yiming typed on his phone.
"What are you sending for me?!"
"I'm also very open-hearted-back-talking." Yang Yiming read it to Yu Xiaochun word by word, and before sending it, he thought that it was inappropriate, and added a shy smiley expression to the end of this sentence.
"It's not important, just take the photo out and take a look." Jose urged Yang Yiming.
"Okay, okay, don't worry-"
Yang Yiming clicked into the circle of friends of "Wen", and the circle of friends was set to be visible in the last three days, but fortunately there was a photo of Tang Wen at the airport that was posted a day ago. In the photo, she is a silhouette, pushing her suitcase and walking in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the airport, although there is some backlight, but her appearance and dress are almost exactly the same as when she met Yu Xiaochun, and her spirit is neat, which is quite like the effect of a star being captured by the paparazzi at the airport.
"It's not bad! Pretty. ”
"I'll see—wow, it's a beauty, you Asian girls are just exquisite." Jose snatched the phone from Yang Yiming's hand, and after praising it, he pushed the phone in front of Nina with a smile, "Nina, do you comment?" Isn't it not bad, of course, it's true that you don't have a good temperament..."
Nina gave him a blank look, took the phone, looked left and right at the photo for a while, and said mercilessly, "I don't like her." The girl is a bit and insincere. ”
"Hey, Nina, don't discourage our Mr. Fish." José hurriedly defended what he had in mind as a "delicate beauty".
"No, no, it might be more helpful to listen to women's perspectives. We are all too easily confused by appearance..."Yang Yiming motioned for Jose to listen to Nina first, after all, even if he hadn't seen the story of a man being fascinated by a green tea that could be seen through at a glance between women, there were too many on the Internet.
"Do you really want me to say it?"
"Say it." The three men stopped eating in unison and saluted the only woman.
"Then I'll say it." Nina picked up a garlic grilled shrimp and said as she ate, "First of all, let's talk about this picture. This is obviously a posed photo, although it looks very casual, but the light, this angle, and this expression are all just right, and you can't shoot it at all without walking back and forth a dozen times. I don't like her looks and dress, I can't say what's wrong, but it's weird, unnatural, and a little deliberate. Koharu, I always feel that her motivation for contacting you is not pure enough: after so many years, why is it suddenly now? Saying that she misses you, and that her parents also talk about you, is all a hint that will lead you to the bait. Didn't you deliberately misunderstand her affectionate and unforgettable little trick for you? If she really can't let go of you so much, why didn't she tell you directly and get back together with you earlier? I just want you to fall into her little trap again - you didn't fall into her trap, Koharu?! ”
This time, the three of them turned their eyes back to Yu Xiaochun's face.
"It's... Snare... No..."Yu Xiaochun was stared at and stammered, "There shouldn't be." I just left and told her that I hadn't forgotten her - to be honest, it would be fine... Is there a problem? ”
"Yes!"
The three people at the table scolded in unison.
