Chapter 006: Liu Man
When everyone was full of wine and food, and they had a good chat, four people said that they had something to go. In this situation, Liu Man simply canceled the plan of the later K song and announced the end.
Everyone walked out of the hotel, waiting for Liu Man, who was the last to pay the bill, but was attracted by a man at the gate. This is a blonde and blue-eyed white European and American man, in a suit and leather shoes, tall and mighty, with a large bouquet of roses in his hand, and a smile like a spring breeze. Against the backdrop of neon lights, there is even a bit of fantasy of the legendary handsome elves.
Behind him was a black roadster that looked expensive, and a black man in a suit with a mighty figure. At first glance, you know that it is a bodyguard role.
Among the classmates, several girls whispered and kept peeking. Several men were unhappy in their hearts and pouted secretly. Shi Songming stared at the black bodyguard next to the luxury car, and his brows gradually furrowed. I always felt that this black man was familiar, and it seemed to be the one I met the night before yesterday and knew Liu Man. But at that time, the light was dim, and the face blindness of the foreign race was really inaccurate.
At this moment, Liu Man walked out of the door, and the smiling face of his classmates suddenly froze.
The handsome white guy stepped forward quickly, and everyone subconsciously separated from each other. Passers-by on the street, and even diners dining in the hotel lobby, all looked at each other with expectant eyes. I have to say that even in an international metropolis like the magic capital, a beautiful enough foreigner is quite eye-catching, especially in the state of luxury cars with flowers in hand on the side. Everyone is looking forward to the development of the plot.
And this handsome white guy did not disappoint everyone, and with a large stream of fluent and rhythmic English, he sent flowers to Liu Man.
For a while, the whole scene was unusually quiet, except for the sound of cars speeding by on the road.
Several classmates were shocked and opened their mouths indecently. The onlookers widened their eyes, never expecting such a development, and the gossip was bursting.
Liu Man also covered his mouth in surprise, and then frowned. "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend, please don't harass me anymore. ”
As he spoke, Liu Man directly hugged Shi Songming's arm. Shi Songming, who was stunned to the point of sluggishness, was almost completely stupid now, and only came back to his senses under the stimulation of the severe pain in his elbow. A thought soon came to my mind: 'It is incumbent on me to help my old classmates make a block!'
He stepped forward half a step to block Liu Man behind him, turned his brain to try to get back the English ability that had been returned to the teacher a long time ago, and stumbled and said, "Yes, I am her boyfriend!"
The handsome white guy blinked his eyes twice, and then said in Chinese with a straight voice: "Please speak Mandarin, I can understand it." Introducing myself, my name is Spike, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
While speaking, Spike, the handsome white man, also reached out with grace and made an invitation to shake hands. The smile on his face never faded.
Although Shi Songming is not a maternal solo, he is not a love expert. The middle school years, like most people, were dominated by academics under intense pressure from parents and school. In the little emotional experience I had in college, I was an ordinary ordinary person, and my girlfriend was just an ordinary person. The two parties have to determine the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and after two or three months, there will be a relationship that ends without a problem, and I don't know if it can be called a 'romance', and I haven't been able to hand over my virginity.
Therefore, it is far from being jealous in person, and there is no relevant experience. was stunned, but the social animal instinctively came out, habitually shook hands in the past, and followed to introduce himself.
"Uh...... Hello this...... I'm Shi Songming. ”
"Ignore this annoying guy. Liu Man saw that something was wrong, so he directly pulled his arm out of the door, and took out his girlfriend's coquettish attitude, "I ate a little too much today, is it okay to go out for a walk with me." ”
"Oh, okay. Shi Songming had no time to think about whether his response was domineering or not, and only felt the gaze of everyone around him, as if he was roasted on a fire, and he was uncomfortable. It might also be a good idea to just leave.
Liu Man said a simple hello to the other classmates who were still stunned, and then pulled Shi Songming out, leaving the crowd around who hadn't seen enough of the excitement and the handsome white guy Spike who shrugged his shoulders.
The two of them didn't go far before they saw a convertible sports car following not far behind. Liu Man proposed to take the alley to dodge, and Shi Songming nodded. After turning around, it didn't take long to get rid of the tracking of luxury cars, but also came to a rather old and dim neighborhood.
The two, still holding hands, looked at each other and laughed heartily.
"What kind of laughter are you laughing at night, don't the neighbors have to rest and sleep?" accompanied by the sound of this disturbing scenery, two people walked out of the corner of the dark alley in front of them. The light is dim, but just from the way the crane walks, you know that it is not a good thing.
Shi Songming stopped laughing, turned his head and squinted slightly, and couldn't help but jump his eyelids. It was an acquaintance who came, and it was the red-haired and yellow-haired gangsters I had seen the night before.
But then something even more surprising happened. After the two walked in, they began to tease Liu Man, as if they didn't know each other. And Liu Man also shrank behind him as if he didn't know the two.
"Something doesn't seem right?" Shi Songming thought. But in the face of the two gangsters who began to provoke with their hands and feet, they still instinctively punched back.
With little effort, the two men lay on the ground and wailed. Shi Songming almost suspected that he had accidentally used his first ability to strengthen his muscles. But if you look closely, there is no bruise on the place they are covering at all, this is acting, and the acting skills are quite exaggerated, as for the purpose......
Shi Songming's heart was already open, but it was raised again. His eyes involuntarily fell on the beautiful woman beside him who was a bird and a human, and remembered that she had cooked these two gangsters in the blink of an eye the night before.
"It's a mess here, let's go. ”
"Good. ”
Following Liu Man's drag, Shi Songming ran out of the dark alley quickly, and gradually had a rough guess in his heart. If Liu Man appeared in the pink block two days ago to find an actor, everything would have been explained clearly. If you are an ordinary person who does not know, this heroic rescue of beauty can indeed be regarded as the beginning of a love story.
But in a trance, he remembered the three common illusions of life on the Internet. The first delusion is 'she likes herself'!
Shi Songming is no longer a child, although he still barely believes in the existence of 'perfect love' that 'arises out of thin air and can break through all obstacles of reality', but he thinks that this thing is the same as a lottery ticket. The 1 in 10,000,000 chance is so low that it is impossible for it to fall on your head.
If you have to fall in love and get married in the end, you just choose someone who is not so annoying to get together because you don't know if it is a feeling of love, and you may be separated at any time because of some trivial contradictions and complicated temptations.
From the current point of view, the relationship between classmates who are not salty and not light, plus ten years apart, the other party obviously has no reason to like him. If you exclude that, all that's left may seem like nasty jokes like 'Truth or Dare' or reality shows.
Could it be that Liu Man lost a bet with a friend and had to find a stupid man to tease him? Or is it an actor who works by shooting funny and tricky videos? Although I don't want it to be like this, as long as I am careful in my words and deeds, no matter what happens in the end, it will not be too embarrassing.
"What do you think?"
"It's just a little confused, like a dream. ”
Liu Man sneered, full of enchantment. "Would you like to take a walk with me? After all these years, it seems a pity to miss out on one of the most drastic changes in this country. ”
"Absolutely. Shi Songming decided to cooperate, and said with a smile: "It's not a pity." I live here every day, but I don't notice these changes. There is no sense of surprise when I see a sudden change. ”
"So on the other hand, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, is there a sense of surprise?"
"It's been a surprise, at least so far. ”
The two of them drove slowly like this, walking through the streets and alleys, watching the traffic and the lights of thousands of homes. Chatting from all over the world, laughing happily. In a trance, Shi Songming even felt that he had returned to his carefree student days. The arms that were held together never let go, as if they were really a young couple pressing the road after dinner.
And this walk is more than two hours, but it is like a blink of an eye.
In the end, Liu Man was obviously a little tired and proposed to rest. Shi Songming pointed to the barbecue stall not far ahead and proposed to have a supper. Liu Man happily agreed, and the two came to the front to greet the boss, and in the attention of the diners, they chose a two-person table in a remote corner and sat down.
I have to say that Liu Man's fashionable dress is quite incompatible with the casual and casual style here. Shi Songming didn't notice this, just beckoned the waiter to order, and asked Liu Man what he wanted to eat. Liu Man, who slowly wiped the tables and chairs, replied with a smile that a bottle of juice was fine.
Waiting for the food to be served, Liu Man, who had a dry mouth, pointed to his throat and did not continue to chat, Shi Songming smiled apologetically, and subconsciously looked around. Then I was intrigued by the conversation between the diners at the next table for two.
These are two men in their thirties. One was already flushed and drunk, and kept chattering about one thing: his girlfriend broke up for a very strange reason, and lied to him that he was a young lady. The other had a clear look, but his expression was quite complicated, and he said lightly:
"What if it's true?"
"Absolutely...... No way!" The infatuated man waved his hand to strengthen his persuasiveness, but he took his body crookedly. The wine bottle on the table was also hung upside down and overturned, but it was quickly grabbed by the sober man's hand.
"I ...... I'm telling you, she's a good woman, absolutely ...... No way, she's so ...... So......"
"You, I really don't know what to say about you. Forget about the eyeballs. ”
Shi Songming is deaf and clear-sighted, and even if he doesn't want to eavesdrop, the conversation around him will be transmitted to his ears. What's more, drunk doesn't control the volume. I couldn't help pouting, and intuitively thought that this man had been completely destroyed by love, and his friend probably knew something, but it was not good to say it directly.
But another group of diners who heard the conversation were less polite. At a large table diagonally across from Shi Songming's position, there were seven or eight tattooed men in black vests, one of whom and his companions looked at each other, and said with a smile on their faces: "Did you hear what the two stupid meows over there said?
At the table of two men, the infatuated man who was depressed and drank violently did not hear it, but his companion did. didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at the group of men with tattoos in black vests.
"Boy, what are you looking at?" shouted one of the men.
The companion of the infatuated man did not admit it and turned his head, but looked carefully for five or six seconds. As if to keep everyone in mind, he turned around and continued to persuade his friends.
This group of men is a low-level gangster who relies on scaring the good people to eat face, maintaining order in various half-black and white places, or chasing some usury. Speaking of the underworld, killing people and setting fires, they have the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief. They are said to be good citizens, but their hands are really unclean. And it is the existence that ordinary people avoid the most.
Seeing that he didn't scare the other party, he felt that he had lost face in front of his companions. After looking up and down, I confirmed that it was a standard ordinary social animal, and decided to show my hands.
In fact, if the good people obediently admit it, or if the evil man is alone with one or two people, and there is no situation where they are coerced and courageous, this matter will pass. But at the moment, the 'brothers' are all watching, and they don't say how they can get along. And on the other hand, the good people do not deserve to be humiliated with dignity, and they have to swallow their anger. It's only strange that some good people are really cheap, and I only advise everyone to observe their surroundings more and stay away from friends who invite such trouble.
But he said that the evil man who 'thought he had lost face' picked up a bottle of wine and paused on the table with a snap. The dishes and cups all jumped, and the half-drunk infatuated man trembled, raised his eyelids and gradually opened his eyes, and half of the wine woke up. The whole stall was also quiet for a while, and the rest of the diners of the food stall either turned their heads or used their spare eyes to look at this side.
"Shut this out, and forget what happened just now. ”
