Chapter 77: I turned my head and saw the two people I had sworn never to see again
I felt a little sour on my nose: "I'm really lucky to have your help and teaching. You're like...... It's like a lighthouse in the ocean, every time I get about to lose my way, I can see your light from afar, and I will go back in the right direction. ”
Uncle Shen was obviously very impressed by my words, and his eyes shone brightly behind the lenses, as if a piece of starlight had fallen into the sea. He said, "Yes, you have really grown up, and I am getting older and older. What the future of China will become is a matter for your generation. ”
I wanted to comfort him, but I felt that sympathy and comfort did not match his lofty image in my heart, so I said: "You are not old at all, and people like you are a real mainstay in this day and age." Indomitable and never give up, it has brought many people the faith of life, otherwise you say how much courage the common people have to persevere. ”
Uncle Shen was obviously very useful, he looked at me and said, "Yes, now that the Southwest Associated University has opened, outstanding students from various universities are now working silently in the far southwest, preparing to use the knowledge they have learned to revitalize the country in the future." Deep in the southwest, the Great Rear is now probably the only place where a quiet desk can be accommodated. ”
I remembered Shen Yi's words before leaving some time ago, and sighed: "I also have classmates who went to the southwest, in fact, deep down I also want to go, not only to escape the war, but also to continue my studies well." However, my father and eldest brother have already gone to Chongqing, and the second brother has finally returned home, and I don't want the family to be torn apart again, and I don't even know each other's life and death."
Uncle Shen and I couldn't help but fall into silence, right at this moment. I rolled my eyes, only to find two people I didn't want to see anyway.
I turned my head and buried my head deeply, hoping that the broken hair on either side of my cheek would save me from fire and water and prevent me from being recognized. Of course, I didn't have the time and energy to think about why I was avoiding him, because almost all my movements were done subconsciously.
Uncle Shen probably thought that my reaction was a little too aggressive, and raised his head to look at me: "What's the matter, have a good meal, it looks like you are hiding from someone?" ”
My head hung lower, because the corner of my eye could not be mistaken, Cao Yu'an was walking towards me. I heard a deep voice ringing in my ears, a cello-like tone that I will never forget no matter how many years have passed: "Of course, the two of us are really fateful, and we can meet everywhere."
I couldn't hide, I couldn't dodge, I had to pretend to look at him toughly: "It's not a coincidence, Shanghai is so big, and you always go in and out of these high-end occasions, if you can't see it, it's a strange thing, don't you say?" “
Cao Yu'an smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to have been calculated with a ruler, which just showed all the advantages on his face. He didn't seem to intend to introduce us to the man next to him, just to greet me. I didn't remember who the man next to him was at first, but I felt that the polite but distant look seemed to have been seen somewhere. When he smiled at me, the coolness rising from my back and the heaviness in my heart finally made me pause, this man was one of the few Japanese I saw in the bookstore that time!
I was shocked to think about this section, but what I have encountered over the past few years has allowed me to control my emotions and behavior very well when encountering things. I nodded to him casually, and talked to Cao Yu'an for a long time. I was perfect throughout this period.
Uncle Shen intervened in our conversation at the right time, and he naturally asked me, "Ranran, is this your friend, why didn't you introduce me?" ”
Naturally, I took his words: "Oh, look at my brain. Uncle Shen, this is Cao Yu'an, and his cousin is the Mislin you have seen. Actually, we don't know each other very well, but we have always been very fateful. He used to study medicine in Japan, and he heard that his grades were very good, and he was awarded a scholarship by the school. Since the war began, I have lost contact with him, and even Mithlin doesn't know where he has gone. If I hadn't met him in the restaurant two months ago, I probably wouldn't have known that he had returned to Shanghai. At the same time, he introduced to Cao Yu'an: "This is my mother's good friend Uncle Shen. ”
Uncle Shen seemed to digest my words for a while before reacting, and when he saw Cao Yu'an stretching out his hand, he naturally reached out and shook his hand.
Cao Yu'an seemed to be very interested in Uncle Shen, and asked deliberately: "Uncle Shen is a performer, and his fingers are so powerful?" ”
I watched the curvature of his slanted mouth somehow feel a little bit of a bad heart, and wanted to pat the smile off his face. I rushed to answer him a little angrily: "This is your loneliness." Uncle Shen is a well-known Western doctor in Shanghai, and his hand with a scalpel is naturally stronger and more powerful than ordinary people, don't you even know this? ”
Cao Yu'an was robbed by me, and there was no unhappy look on his face. On the contrary, the Japanese man looked at me with a sad look on his face. Cao Yu'an said: "Ranran, I am relieved of your attitude, I know that you blame me for not taking the initiative to contact you after coming back for so long." Next time, next time I will come to the door to apologize. He didn't seem to say anything, he seemed to say everything, and I was shocked, and all the blood and energy rushed to my face in an instant. Uncle Shen's gaze at me was also full of doubt and scrutiny, as if to say, "Do you have any unusual friendship with this boy?" ”
Cao Yu'an's profound sentence made me make a false accusation, and I'm sure he pretended to know nothing on the surface, but in fact he did it on purpose. He deliberately made a fool of me! The next moment this thought crossed my mind, my head was filled with anger.
I hatefully ordered him to be evicted: "Mr. Cao, if you have nothing else to do, you should find a seat and sit down first, otherwise it will affect the other guests, how bad is it?" ”
Cao Yu'an didn't know if he didn't understand what I said, or if he pretended to be confused. He listened to my words, and even the expression on his face did not change, and he still had a smile on his face: "Well, what you said is right, then I'll go first." I've had time lately, and it would be nice if you could enjoy a meal then. ”
I have imagined countless times the picture of being alone with Cao Yu'an, but now that he really invited, I was not happy at all. I watched him turn away and suddenly felt very discouraged. The pompous and frivolous man in front of me is no longer what I was familiar with.
