Chapter 020: Chance Encounter (2)
Xu Ranran listened to Zhang Dali's words and fell into a long silence.
After a long time, she poured herself a glass of wine, but did not drink it all again, but took a sip and asked softly, "What have you been doing lately?" ”
"Play games." There is no need to hide some things, Zhang Dali replied calmly.
"Oh, is it the game studio you talked about before, or is it just playing?" Hearing Zhang Dali's answer, Xu Ranran frowned slightly.
"Just play some equipment in the game, sell it for money, and make a living." When he said this, Zhang Dali was very depressed, and he was afraid that Xu Ranran would look down on him because of this.
"Life, okay?" Xu Ranran asked very slowly and carefully.
"No problem, there's still a lot of savings." If it was before, Zhang Dali really didn't know how to answer this question. But fortunately, he earned a huge sum of 60,000 yuan today, which somewhat gave him some confidence.
"That's good."
As Xu Ranran's voice fell, the atmosphere fell silent again, Zhang Dali wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
He knew that he still lacked courage, and some words that had been buried for too long were probably rotting in the bottom of his heart.
"Your razor clams." In silence, the waiter at the food stall served the food.
"Thank you." Zhang Dali thanked the waiter, and said to Xu Ranran with a smile: "You should just get off work, let's eat together." ”
Xu Ranran's outfit is still an OL suit with a small suit and trousers, and she has a tired face that can't be hidden, obviously just finished working overtime.
"Waiter, let's have a pig's trotter with sauce and two bowls of rice." Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Dali turned around and shouted at the waiter who had just walked not far away.
"Okay." The waiter turned around and walked away quickly.
"You remember that I like to eat pig's trotters in sauce." Xu Ranran heard Zhang Dali's shout, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his smile was very restrained, but in Zhang Dali's eyes, it was different and bright.
"Hmm." Zhang Dali nodded and said, "Don't drink, I'll get another bottle of drink, Minute Maid Juice?" ”
"Okay." The corners of Xu Ranran's mouth curled higher.
After taking the drink, Zhang Dali trotted to the refrigerator not far away and took a large bottle of Minute Maid Yuan, and ran back again.
opened the drink very gentlemanly, first poured a small half glass and shook the wine glass that Xu Ranran had drunk, and then helped her fill the empty wine glass, Zhang Dali smiled and said: "If you want to eat, you can order it, I have a treat today." ”
"I don't have much appetite, that's all, a pig's trotter is full, and you still ordered food, I have to eat it." From Zhang Dali's appearance and dress, Xu Ranran can see that Zhang Dali is indeed not very good, otherwise he would not have always paid attention to his image, and he would not have shaved his beard and would have come out wearing a worn T-shirt.
"Hmm." Zhang Dali smiled and began to eat with chopsticks.
"The area in the Ning'an community is about to be demolished." Xu Ranran knew that with Zhang Dali's temperament, he would not take the initiative to find a topic to talk about, so he could only make a start by himself.
"yes, it's almost over, the landlord won't let me renew the lease anymore." Zhang Dali had long known that the Ning'an Community would be demolished, but because there were still more than two months left, he didn't particularly care about being busy with his livelihood.
"I live in a nice neighborhood, just in front." Xu Ranran pointed to an alley not far away and said: "No, I live in the Xuefu community, just behind that street, do you want me to help you look at the house, the rent is not high, it is low in Wucheng." ”
"Ah, yes, but I still have three months to lease, so don't worry, let's take a look first." Being able to live in a community with Xu Ranran is something that Zhang Dali dreams of.
But just like he didn't have the courage to confess, he didn't dare to agree right away.
He still has concerns in his heart, after all, he doesn't have a serious career, and if he lives in a small area with Xu Ranran, he will inevitably meet Xu Ranran often.
In case he messes badly in the future, he really doesn't want Xu Ranran to see his down-and-out appearance.
What's more, he doesn't know if Xu Ranran has a boyfriend. If Xu Ranran already has a boyfriend, wouldn't it be unhappy to move to a small area.
"Okay, if you're looking for it, you can tell me. Eh, what's your phone number? Suddenly remembering that he didn't have Zhang Dali's contact information, Xu Ranran hurriedly took out his mobile phone and asked Zhang Dali.
"Uh, 136XXXXXXXX." When he reported his mobile phone number, Zhang Dali had a feeling that everything he had hidden for a long time had been exposed, which made him a little flustered.
"I called you." Xu Ranran quickly dialed the number spoken by Zhang Dali, and then she heard a very familiar ringtone, the piano version of the anime "H&C" OP, the slow and sad tune always reminds people of some lingering past, that is the youth that has passed, and can only be used to remember.
This piano piece is the bell she has used since college, but it sounded in Zhang Dali's left trouser pocket at this time, which made her slightly stunned.
Zhang Dali was also stunned when he heard the ringtone, and then he hurriedly took out Jean's antique rice from his trouser pocket and pressed the phone to refuse to answer.
"Ah, I've saved your number." In a panic, he saved Xu Ranran's number into the mobile phone contacts, and Zhang Dali didn't dare to look up at Xu Ranran, because the ringtone was really ......
He thought his phone was too bad to take it out, but he didn't expect that some of the things that made him cherish his broom be exposed, which was much more panicked and overwhelmed than revealing his address and mobile phone number.
"You like this piano piece too." Seeing Zhang Dali's flustered appearance, Xu Ranran, who vaguely felt something, wanted to laugh and cry.
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
It's no longer what it used to be, the youth who squandered at will and didn't care about it has long since died in front of it, and in the future, there are too many things to think about.
"Hmm." Zhang Dali nodded lightly in response, and added in a firm tone in his heart: "I like it very much, I like this piano piece very much, I like you very much." ”
The corners of Zhang Dali's eyes suddenly became a little sour, so he buried his head lower.
"Zhao Ting, is she also in Wu City now?" After hesitating for a long time, Xu Ranran still asked the question he wanted to ask after hearing Zhang Dali say that he was in Wu City.
"Zhao Ting? I don't know what to say, why did you mention her? She seems to have gone abroad and went to the United States for further study before she graduated. Zhang Dali was a little strange, Xu Ranran was a little strange, why would he mention Zhao Ting.
"Ah, she went abroad, I said why didn't even she have any news and disappeared like you." The long-ago-entangled confusion was solved, and Xu Ranran's mood immediately improved a lot.
"You don't think she's my girlfriend, do you?" Xu Ranran's words made Zhang Dali suddenly think of a question that his old classmates used to ask him, which made him a little speechless.
"Isn't it?" Xu Ranran's heart was pounding, but her tone was very flat.
"Poof, Zhao Ting, the school girl and the school bully, how could she fall in love with me. It's just that I'm in the same school by mistake, and everyone will think that I've been in love with her. Look at me, how can I be liked by a swan. ”
How could he be liked by the swan, Zhang Dali was stung by his own words, and then he closed his mouth and chewed the razor clams in his mouth fiercely.
