Chapter Thirty-Eight: When Tonight is over, I'll take you in alone
"Hello, Cong Rong. I didn't have time to introduce myself, my name is Tatiana, and everyone else calls me TT. I am Xiao Zhengyun's cousin who is not related by blood! Ha ha. Titi had just walked out of the store not far away, and hurriedly introduced herself to Cong Rong.
"You know me?" Cong Rong looked at Titi with some confusion and asked.
"Yes, I heard Xiao Zhengyun mention your name, and I also know that you are Ye Keke's friend." Titi said with some smugness.
"Do you know Coco?" Cong Rong turned her face directly to Ti Ti, and her expression looked even more confused.
"Yes, Xiao Zhengyun and I have known each other since I was very young. It's just that she shouldn't have much of an impression, because she doesn't usually stay in Shanghai, and Xiao Zhengyun and I were later driven to Germany to study under the arrangement of Xiao and my father. Titi said to Cong Rong as she continued to walk forward briskly.
Cong Rong was basically in step with Titi, and the two women who had never met before actually talked so easily. And Xiao Zhengyun, who was following closely, never happened, he listened carefully to the conversation between the two people in front of him, but there was some inexplicable tension in his heart.
"Then you and Xiao Zhengyun grew up together, and later went to Germany to study together?" Cong Rong listened to Titi's words and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"When we were in Shanghai, we basically looked down and didn't look up, but then when we went to Germany, I don't know what Lao Xiao and my dad planned, so they arranged for us to go to school and live in Berlin and Hamburg, and we didn't see each other almost once a month. Later, when he started learning piano making with an old man named Standley, he had less and less time to come to Berlin to see me. Later, I heard that he befriended a German guy named Janis, and after that, he had less contact with me. So much so that two days ago in a bar in Sydney, I went up to greet him, and he didn't recognize me, which made me sad at the time, wasn't it Xiao Zhengyun? Titi talked to Cong Rong with relish, like a storyteller, and finally didn't forget to ask Xiao Zhengyun, who had been following behind and kept silent, in an exaggerated tone.
"The makeup on your face at that time was even more exaggerated than the one on your face today, I guess don't talk about me, even your father Uncle Kun may not be able to recognize it when he sees it." Xiao Zhengyun heard Titi asking him, so he quickly explained. At the same time, he quickened his pace and began to walk side by side with Cong Rong.
He spoke again, "Cong Rong, are you sure you want to go with me?" What Titi said just now wasn't actually serious, and I guess she might just be trying to help you get rid of the man sitting across from you in the tea room. ”
"If Titi has to rush back to work now, I'm willing to go with you instead of her, if you need me." Cong Rong said to Xiao Zhengyun, who looked a little hesitant.
Xiao Zhengyun didn't say anything, just looked at Titi on the side.
"Okay, the studio I'm going to is in this building, I'll go in first. The two of you can take the elevator there and pick up your car in the underground parking lot where you just parked. Go first, bye-bye! As soon as Titi entered the gate of a shopping mall, she pointed to the elevator on the side of Xiao Zhengyun and Cong Rong with her hand, and then hurriedly walked to the other side, and soon disappeared around a corner.
Sydney's Saturday evening malls usually close after 6pm, so they are particularly deserted, but the entrances and parking lots of the malls will remain open to the public due to some of the restaurants, supermarkets or cinemas that are still open until late at night.
Xiao Zhengyun and Cong Rong didn't say anything more, just silently walked side by side towards the elevator.
After the two of them stepped into the elevator, Cong Rong stood not far from Xiao Zhengyun, and suddenly smelled a familiar fresh smell in this small and closed space. This smell is the first time she met Xiao Zhengyun at a summer symphony concert, and it is the unique smell of laundry detergent left on clothes after being exposed to the sun. This brought her back to the scene of their first acquaintance on the first day. Cong Rong was thinking about it, but suddenly saw Xiao Zhengyun walk out of the elevator and wave to her.
"Are you afraid that I will sell you, so you hesitate and dare not come out?" Xiao Zhengyun stood outside the elevator and said jokingly to Cong Rong in the elevator.
"Ah, no, no. How could it be. Cong Rong said as she walked out of the elevator again.
"You didn't even ask me where we were going next, so you came with me. Aren't you curious? Xiao Zhengyun asked Cong Rong as he took out the car keys in his pants pocket.
"So where are we going now?" Cong Rong sat in the co-pilot's seat and asked Xiao Zhengyun next to him.
"Do you know Aaron, Kwong Leung? I know he's going to be filming an ad in Domain today after the art museum closes. I'm going to meet him there. Xiao Zhengyun said a little mysteriously.
"Aaron Kwong is the famous Australian pianist who is half Chinese! I've heard a few, but I don't know much about it. Before Cong Rong finished speaking, Xiao Zhengyun's phone rang.
"Hello, Wendy. We're already on our way, and when we get to the museum, we'll have to trouble you to bring us in. Xiao Zhengyun said politely on the other side of the phone.
"Bringing you in? Xiao Zhengyun, you didn't come alone, and there were others? There was a somewhat delicate girl on the other side of the phone, and her voice was very sweet.
"Yes, Wendy, I've brought a friend who is very knowledgeable about art paintings, and I hope she can make up for my lack of insight into art paintings when I talked to Aaron." Xiao Zhengyun said to the phone, and at the same time turned his head to look at Cong Rong, who was sitting on the side and looked a little surprised.
"Then I don't care, after today, you have to take me alone to the 6th floor of the Ivy Club, where it is by invitation, only members can bring people in, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, you have promised others, you can't go back, and you can only take people in alone!" The voice on the phone, the more outrageous it became, and the tone became more and more ambiguous, and people who were not clear would definitely misunderstand the relationship between the woman on the phone and Xiao Zhengyun at this time.
"Don't worry, I'll take you in alone when tonight is over." Xiao Zhengyun said in a very affirmative tone.
Wendy on the other side of the phone hung up the phone satisfied after hearing the answer she wanted. The two people in the car suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, Xiao Zhengyun. After the matter is over, I can go back by myself, you don't have to take care of me, I can. Cong Rong suddenly broke the embarrassment and said first.
