Chapter 218: Things from the Past
Going up to the platform on the sixth floor, Tan Man couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" β
"Who was that just now?"
"Aunt Lan? She is my landlord, that is, Zhang Jiakai's mother. Tan Man was a little strange, "What's wrong with you, acquaintance?" β
Gu Mochen's back stiffened, and he was silent for a few seconds, but he instantly returned to normal, hooking the corners of his mouth with slight disdain: "How can I know?" After speaking, his chin pointed to the iron door, "Open the door." β
Tan Man glanced at him suspiciously, yes, how could they know each other, so he felt that maybe he was sensitive, so he cut off the topic.
Entering the door, Tan Man took off his coat and walked straight to the room: "You sit on the sofa for a while." β
Gu Mochen looked down and saw a pair of brand-new men's slippers on the side of the shoe cabinet, and his mood suddenly improved.
Sitting on the sofa, from this angle, you can see a corner of the room, Tan Man seems to be rummaging through the cabinets to find something, looking at it, Gu Mochen can't help but think of the scene downstairs again.
This time, he was completely sure that this woman didn't recognize himself at all, although when she left, she didn't have a small Peking University, but after all, she was connected to flesh and blood, didn't she say that mothers and children would have innate telepathy, but she didn't even have a strange look, and completely regarded him as a stranger.
Gu Mochen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and sank into the sofa,
No matter how much he pretends not to care, he can't fool himself,
At this moment, he was very lost.
β¦β¦
Tan Man took out the men's shirt from the closet, and the word 'Man' loomed on the inside of the collar, what she thought she couldn't give away, suddenly one day she would see the light of day again, she couldn't help but feel shy.
Hearing her footsteps, Gu Mochen opened his eyes and smiled at her casually: "What have you prepared for me?" β
Tan Man pursed his lips and handed him the bag: "It's a shirt, I bought it according to the brand and preferences you are used to." β
Gu Mochen watched her approach him step by step, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, hugging her extremely hard.
Tan Man fell into his arms all of a sudden, and the whole person was shocked.
She didn't know why, but she could clearly feel that this hug was a little different from usual, he had hugged her rarely, so hard, so longingly, even if they were lying in bed together last night.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Mochen buried his head between her neck, exhaled lightly, and hugged her arm tightly.
"Let me hold it for a while."
"You're weird." Tan Man put her chin on his shoulder and reached out to wrap her hand around his back.
"It's weird to hug you?" His voice was soft, indifferent, but it seemed like he was deliberately avoiding something.
"Not ......"
I can't tell the truth, so just hold it.
After a while, he let go of his hand, took the shirt out of the bag, looked at it seriously, and chuckled: "I'll wear it on Monday." β
"Don't!" She squirmed and took the shirt from his hand, "You better stop wearing it on weekdays." β
"Why?"
Tan Man pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "I embroidered something on the collar, so that people will be laughed at when they see it." β
Gu Mochen realized the special feature of this shirt and laughed: "Then I should wear it even more." β
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Mochen came out of Tan Man's house and sat in the car for a while, he took out his mobile phone, opened the mailbox, and pulled it down in the inbox for a while to find the unread email that had been lying for several months.
The sender is Zhang Hongtai, the general manager of Shanghai Hongtai Investigation Company, and this email was received not long after he first bumped into Xue Yuelan.
Gu Mochen clicked on the email, Zhang Hongtai was really professional, and her recent situation, the people around her, and her daily activities were recorded in a very clear and detailed Word document.
He brisked through it, and the email pulled down at the end, a picture of her current husband and son.
Gu Mochen looked at the photo of Zhang Jiakai on the screen, and couldn't help laughing at himself,
It turns out that he not only has a half-brother, but also a half-brother, how ironic and ridiculous his life.
β¦β¦
Tan Man didn't know that Gu Mochen had such a secret hidden in him, and his life was as good as before.
When I went to work this morning, I accidentally saw Zhang Jiakai outside the door of the community, and it seemed that he was waiting for someone.
"Hey!" She slapped him on the back from behind.
The other party was not frightened, turned around, and showed a Zhang Jiakai-style evil smile: "Morning, little bit." β
"Wait for someone?"
"yes, I'll wait for you." After speaking, he took out a card from the back pocket of his jeans and handed it to her, "You must come!" β
Tan Man was confused, took the card and opened it, it turned out to be an invitation letter.
"Radiant Quadruple Studio?" She looked up, her eyes wide in disbelief, "You opened a studio?" β
Zhang Jiakai raised his eyebrows proudly: "That's right, at half past six tonight, in the studio, there is an opening party, I called some friends to celebrate." After a pause, he looked at her very seriously, "Come back." β
Tan Man patted him on the shoulder happily: "Definitely, it's rare that you have the heart to do something about it, so you have to support it anyway." β
"Hey, declare it in advance, congratulatory gifts or something, I don't want it if it's not big!"
"Don't worry, if it's not big, I won't send it!" Tan Man smiled evilly, "I won't tell you, I'm going to be late for work." β
When he got off work, Tan Man dialed Gu Mochen, the other party pressed it, and quickly replied to WeChat: "There is something, I will call you later." Tan Man simply put away his mobile phone, waited for him to be free and reported again, walked out of the school gate, and stopped a taxi to go to Zhang Jiakai's studio.
Zhang Jiakai's photography studio is open in the creative park, Tan Man found it according to the address, and saw the faΓ§ade of the studio full of flower baskets from a distance.
There is a water sign with an opening discount at the door of the studio, and the lively music in the studio can even be heard outside the door, and a fashionable cutie at the front desk is enthusiastically attracting passers-by, and when he saw Tan Man coming in, he immediately greeted him: "Hi, beauty, our studio is open today, come in and play, you have to think that the photographer's style is appropriate, take a set of photos, and ...... super discount today."
Before she finished selling, Zhang Jiakai walked out of it, and when he saw Tan Man coming, he immediately smiled: "Ma Li, this is my own person, hurry back and stand by the door." β
The girl named Ma Li flattened her mouth and said coquettishly: "Brother Kai, people are tired, and they don't feel sorry for them at all." β
Tan Man couldn't help laughing, and Zhang Jiakai said perfunctorily: "Okay, it's okay to move a chair and sit there." After speaking, he pulled Tan Man inside.
"Yes, I thought you would rent a small basement to have fun, does Uncle Zhang know about this?"
Zhang Jiakai took her to visit and blew up: "This is what I have worked hard for for most of the year, he let me experience life in his taxi company, and it was my outstanding performance that he allowed me to do this." β
"Invested a lot of money, right?" Tan Man asked, "Do you have a source of customers?" β
"I haven't been helping a magazine to shoot loose films before, and I signed a fixed contract a while ago, so the source of customers is available, I wrote a business plan to Lao Zhang, and asked him to borrow some upfront investment, and he thought there was a drama after watching it, so he fired me from his taxi company." Zhang Jiakai looked proud.
"I really didn't expect you to do a lot of things in a few months, no wonder the whole person has lost weight."
"I will be busier in the future, and some of the small models co-opened by the magazine are now looking for me."
"Busy and busy, you have to take care of your body, you don't want to be thin, it's ugly to death." Tan Man couldn't help but dislike it.
"I know, just like my mother, you go shopping by yourself first, I still have friends over there, go to my office and sit when I'm tired, and I'll call you after a while." After Zhang Jiakai finished speaking, he was pulled away again.
Tan Man wandered around, carefully reading every photograph hanging on the wall, before entering his office.
A door isolates the sound of music outside, and the decoration of the office is also very simple and fashionable, and the few furnishings, each of which is an exaggerated work of art that she can't appreciate, is estimated to be the special aesthetic of the so-called art people.
Tan Man sat unceremoniously on the boss's chair, took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Mochen, asking him if it was over, and after a while, she didn't reply, so she had to continue to play with her mobile phone boredly.
At this time, the office door was suddenly opened, and a handsome guy broke in, and the other party didn't expect someone inside, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
"Hi," he said hello, "Brother Kai's girlfriend?" β
Tan Man shook his head calmly: "Friend! β
"Oh, I'll come in and get something." After speaking, the other party pointed to the drawer in front of her, and Tan Man immediately gave way to him and got up to stand aside.
The handsome guy was a little anxious, dragged open the top drawer and turned it over for a while, closed it again, pulled the next square, flipped it over, sighed impatiently, and dragged the bottom box open.
"Damn, it's here!" The handsome guy flipped out an account book, suddenly smiled, raised his head and shook it at Tan Man, "Excuse me." β
She smiled, her eyes subconsciously glancing at the drawer at her feet, but at a glance, a half-exposed photo inside attracted her full attention.
didn't have time to pay attention to when the other party left, Tan Man subconsciously blocked the drawer that was about to be closed with her foot, she pulled out the photo from under the stack of notebooks she was pressing, but she took it with her, and brought out the back photos together.
She was stunned to see these photos.
After a few quick glances, she was convinced that there was a bigger secret pressing down there, so she looked up at the closed office door and reached out to pull out a photo album about the size of an A4.
As expected, there were pictures of her all pasted inside, some of them were from afar, some were close-ups, some were at the door of the community, some were at the gate of the school, some were frowning, and some were with her hair flying......
The angle of each photo is just right, and the colors are warm and beautiful, and at first glance I thought it was a LOMO postcard sold in a store.
It's just that none of these photos are facing the camera.
Tan Man's heart was extremely confused, and she quickly flipped through the photo album, full of flavors, she didn't know what these meant,
It's Zhang Jiakai's special fetish,
Or is it his special affection for himself?
Either way, it overwhelmed her.
