Chapter 15: The Millennium
The small gathering organized by Wang Peng was arranged on the last day of December, and everyone made an appointment to celebrate the millennium together.
As soon as the class was finished in the afternoon, we took the bus to the bell tower of Zhengyang Pedestrian Street to meet everyone. There are a total of five people in our high school class in Guilin, in addition to Lin Qian and me, Wang Peng and Gao Feng are at Guilin Institute of Technology, and Jiang Yuanyuan is at Electronic Science and Technology University.
We hadn't seen each other for months, and we were so excited to see each other that we had endless words to say. Lin Qian said: "Wang Peng, what are the arrangements for today's event?" Wang Peng said to Lin Qian: "I am only responsible for bringing everyone together, among the few of us, only you were the class cadre, so where to go next, we will listen to you." Lin Qian said: "You will be lazy, you didn't tell me, I thought you had arranged it." Wang Peng said: "Anyway, it's still early, let's discuss it together." Lin Qian said: "I think so, let's walk around the pedestrian street for a while, then find a place to eat, go to sing after eating, and sing until half past eleven and then come to the bell tower." Everyone agreed.
Today happens to be the weekend, everyone is out for the millennium, the pedestrian street is crowded, and we are almost pushed forward by the flow of people. I was afraid that Lin Qian would be squeezed by others, so I put one hand around her and one hand in front of her, and the three of them followed behind us. Lin Qian turned around and shouted: "There are too many people, everyone follow closely, and it will be troublesome if they get separated." Wang Peng said: "Anyway, the two of you will definitely not be separated in this posture." Lin Qian stretched out her legs backwards and pretended to kick Wang Peng, Wang Peng was so frightened that he dodged and hit Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Yuanyuan said "ah", hit Wang Peng and shouted: "You want to die." ”
Due to the large number of people, there was a long queue at every restaurant on the pedestrian street, and we had no choice but to go to the street next to the pedestrian street to find a restaurant. Lin Qian said, "What do you want to eat?" Wang Peng said: "I'm casual." Gao Feng said, "I don't care. Jiang Yuanyuan said, "I listen to you." Lin Qian said: "You guys, all of them are casual, Xu Xuan, you say." I said, "I'll go wherever you go anyway." Lin Qian glanced at me and said, "You can't have some ideas, just say one." ”
I glanced around and said, "There's a 48 yuan buffet over there, you can let go and eat." Wang Peng said: "Xu Xuan, you are usually a very stingy person, and you are so willing today." I said, "Well, let's eat more." Gao Feng said: "I agree, we will eat until it closes, and we will definitely be able to eat it back." Lin Qian said: "Yuanyuan, what do you think?" Jiang Yuanyuan said: "I listen to everyone. Lin Qian said: "Then it's decided, go." ”
This buffet is usually 38 yuan, because of the large number of people during the festival, the temporary price increase to 48 yuan, but there are still a lot of people. Everyone usually eats in the cafeteria every day at school, and there is not much oil and water, but this time we can finally feast. Each of us took at least seven or eight trips to eat, and all of us couldn't walk, and finally the waiter at the hotel didn't look at us right.
When we walked out of the hotel with each other, it was already past nine o'clock, and Wang Peng said, "Where are we going to sing?" Lin Qian said: "Why don't you sing, it's too much to eat, let's take a walk." "Everyone walked all the way to the river, then sat down on the steps and watched the many boats with red lanterns coming and going on the river.
Lin Qian leaned on me, and Wang Peng said, "Sister Qian, the two of you have been sticking together since the afternoon, and you haven't stuck enough in school." Jiang Yuanyuan said: "Lin Qian, the two of them are leaning together, and the two of you are also leaning together, I am the only one left, and I also want someone to lean on." Lin Qian smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll lean on you." After that, he moved to Jiang Yuanyuan's side and leaned against Jiang Yuanyuan.
I said, "Yuanyuan, you're stealing business with me." Jiang Yuanyuan said: "I'll grab business with you, who let you calculate me back then." I said, "What have I calculated against you?" Jiang Yuanyuan said: "As soon as I saw the boat, I remembered that you tricked me into going to the People's Park, and then rowed with Hu Xiaogang." Everyone laughed when they heard it, only Gao Feng was not present at the time, he didn't know what was going on, and looked at us inexplicably. I said, "I didn't do it alone, Wang Peng came up with the idea at that time, you should settle accounts with Wang Peng first." Wang Peng said: "It's not my idea, it's Huajun's idea." I said, "Obviously, you proposed it, and then Hua Jun thought of the idea, so the source is yours." Wang Peng said: "Don't say it, among the few of us, Sister Qian's acting skills are the best, if it weren't for Sister Qian's appearance, Yuanyuan would definitely not come out, so Sister Qian has the greatest credit for this matter." ”
Jiang Yuanyuan tickled Lin Qian and said, "You also follow them to calculate me, but you are still my best friend." Lin Qian giggled when she scratched her, struggled to me and shouted, "Xianggong save me." I hurriedly took Lin Qian into my arms and said, "Jiang Nuxia, raise your noble hand and let my lady go." Jiang Yuanyuan said: "I really can't stand the two of you, it's so sour, the lady and the princess are shouting." ”
Lin Qian took a few breaths and said: "Yuanyuan, in fact, I think Xiaogang is very good, he is stable and kind, and he is good to people, much more secure than Wang Peng's kind of person who runs the train with his mouth full." Wang Peng shouted: "Sister Qian, I didn't provoke you this time, why did you hit me again." Lin Qian said: "What's wrong with me hitting you, did you provoke me less before?" Wang Peng said: "Didn't I often talk about you and Xu Xuan before, and it turns out that what I said is the truth." Lin Qian said: "It's not okay to be honest, I don't want you to talk about me." Gao Feng said: "I remember that not long after the start of high school, Wang Peng once didn't know why he provoked Lin Qian, Lin Qian wanted to pinch him, he ran away, who knows how far he ran was caught up by Lin Qian, and Wang Peng began to doubt life." Wang Peng said: "Yes, I was really stunned that time, I thought I could run away easily, who knew that Sister Qian had already arrived behind me when I turned around." Later, it wasn't until I saw Sister Qian's demeanor at the sports meeting that I realized that I was not wronged at all. ”
Gao Feng said: "Xu Xuan, I always have a question I want to ask you, Lin Qian is so good, do you have any pressure to be with her?" I said, "It's a lot of pressure, everyone thinks that I can find such a good girlfriend, it's shit luck, and I've always been ashamed of myself in front of her." Lin Qian said: "You just talk nonsense, there are more women and fewer men in our school now, you don't know, Xu Xuan is now a celebrity in our school, there are many girls who like him, and now I am under a lot of pressure." Wang Peng said: "Ouch, Xu Xuan, I envy you so much, in our science and engineering school, the ratio of men and women is seriously imbalanced, and there are many monk classes, the number of girls is not much, and the quality is not high, one by one they are still dragging like something." I said, "Then you have time to come to our school more often, and let Lin Qian help you introduce a few beauties." Wang Peng said: "This is good, so it is decided." Gao Feng said, "If you go, you must take me with you." Wang Peng said: "Don't worry, they are all brothers, and I can't forget you." ”
Everyone sat by the river and chatted nonsense, Lin Qian leaned on me for a while, and fell asleep.
Jiang Yuanyuan whispered, "Is she asleep?" I looked down at Lin Qian and said, "It seems to be." Jiang Yuanyuan said: "Is she usually so tired, can she fall asleep?" Wang Peng said: "You don't understand, this shows that Sister Qian is by Xu Xuan's side and has a sense of security." Gao Feng said: "You know a lot, why don't you have a partner now?" Wang Peng said: "It's not that there are too few girls in our school, by the way, Xu Xuan, do you want to kiss her secretly while she is asleep." Jiang Yuanyuan said, "What kind of bad idea do you have?" Wang Peng said: "Do you think the two of them have never kissed?" Gao Feng said, "How do you know?" Wang Peng said: "You see that the two of them are so hot, it's strange that they haven't kissed." Jiang Yuanyuan said: "You seem to be very experienced." Wang Peng said: "I haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?" Xu Xuan, hurry, or she will wake up in a while. ”
I looked at Wang Peng, then at Lin Qian, and said embarrassedly: "It's better not to." Gao Feng next to him also helped: "Hurry up, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again." Jiang Yuanyuan said: "You guys, none of you are good people, you used to calculate me together, and now you are calculating Lin Qian, and I will tell her when she wakes up." Wang Peng said: "Xu Xuan, if it's a man, hurry up and kiss one." ”
Both men and women who are in love are like this, they all want to show affection in front of others and make others envious and jealous, and I am no exception, so I said, "Okay then." After that, he slowly lowered his head and wanted to kiss Lin Qian's face, but Lin Qian suddenly sneered, gently pushed my face and said, "You really listen to them." Everyone was shocked, and I said, "You're not asleep." Lin Qian said: "You are talking so loudly, and you were woken up when you fell asleep." As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Peng's arm fiercely and said, "You have a lot of bad ideas." Wang Peng jumped up with a scream in pain.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and the flow of people began to surge in the direction of the bell tower, and we followed the flow of people to the vicinity of the bell tower, because there were so many people, we could not squeeze under the bell tower at all, and could only look at it from afar.
When the hour and minute hands were pointing twelve, the bell rang, and countless fireworks rose into the sky around it, illuminating the night as bright as day. The crowd erupted in applause and cheers, and the millennium arrived, and a new century began. On such an important day, I can hug Lin Qian, what a happy thing, this moment will never be forgotten by me.
