Chapter 26: Happy Birthday
"Mr. Wang of the trading company last time, do you remember?"
In the KTV private room, Ah B's voice pulled me back to reality from my memories of college.
"He took a fancy to the painting and wanted to use it as a gift, and he accepted the price I quoted." He unscrewed the canned beef in his hand, poured it onto the plate on the coffee table, opened the remaining half bottle of Moutai, and poured it for me, "Hurry up and eat some, why are you in such a bad state?" ”
Today is a high school reunion, and less than ten people came. Officer Li was on duty tonight and couldn't come over for the time being, so he entrusted Ah B to bring two bottles of Moutai to everyone. I came late alone, and as soon as I entered the private room and greeted everyone, I was dragged aside by Ah B to sit down and talk about things.
"Knowingly asked." I took a sip of the wine in my glass, and the hot line rushed down my throat.
Ah B was stunned for a long time, shook his head, sighed, filled my glass again, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and touched it with me. "Marriage is such a thing, I really can't help you, buddy is inexperienced......" He took a sip of liquor, smacked his lips, and glanced at me, "I heard Li Anbang say that you are checking a license plate?" What's the matter, I found Xia Yun's match? ”
"It's not." I replied dryly, and took another sip of the wine.
"Slow down, drink slowly, don't drink stuffy wine with Moutai, spoil good things." He looked reluctant, frowning and persuading me, "Guess who will come over in a while?" ”
"Whoever he is." I don't have any old classmates who have a deep relationship when they meet, "Except for Chen Yiyao, it doesn't matter who comes or not." ”
"It's really Chen Yiyao!" Ah B laughed.
His voice was a bit loud, and several of his old classmates turned their heads at the sight of the name. A female classmate named Liu Xue frowned, looked at me, and had a kind of reminiscent curiosity in her tone: "Chen Yiyao? Lu Yanchen, are you two still in touch? Did she return home? ”
"How many years has this been, what is the connection?" Ah B interrupted her with some gossip questions, "She contacted Li Anbang, it seems that she has just returned to China and wants to go through some formalities at the police station, so she asked Officer Li for help." ”
"What a coincidence." Liu Xue glanced at me, "Then where has Chen Yiyao been all these years?" Is it time to return to China temporarily or to come back and settle down? ”
Ah B shrugged: "Where do I know so much." ”
"I didn't ask you, I asked Lu Yanchen." Liu Xue smiled at me, she leaned over and touched me on the shoulder, "Hey, what happened to Chen Yiyao and her father at the beginning, is it true?" ”
I was silent for a moment, and looked at her with a frown.
Old classmates reunion, as long as there are more than two female classmates present, back and forth is the gossip of the past, and every time they meet, they will take it out and discuss it with care. It's just that the protagonist of the conversation may be different every time, and this time it was Chen Yiyao's turn.
Chen Yiyao was a man of the year in high school. Dyeing her hair, putting on lipstick, smoking, drinking, skipping class, and boys fighting for her......
Such girls are often negative teaching materials in school.
But Chen Yiyao is not.
Her academic performance is particularly good, and every time she takes an exam, she is the first in her class and the top ten in her grade.
Everyone thought that she would go to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
But she went abroad.
Later, there were rumors that her father worked in the ** department and was greedy for a lot of money, and the whole family emigrated, so I almost got into a fight with the boy who spread rumors.
"Okay, how many years have it been." Ah B came over to relieve me as usual, "If it's true, can she come back?" ”
"That's right...... When the old classmates meet in a while, we can have more drinks. Liu Xue touched a soft nail in my place, it didn't matter, and said with a smile, "I have to ask her, do you regret abandoning our talented people?" ”
"Don't mess around with mandarin ducks, sing." I said it angrily.
Speaking of this, someone remembered something and said, "Ah I remembered, Lu Yanchen, have you been punished because of Chen Yiyao?" At that time, the loudspeaker of the whole school also announced. ”
"I remember that." Liu Xue interjected: "You were still there at that time, Painter Bi?" And Li'anbang, the three of you fought with the gang on North Street at the time, and then they all went to the school playground. The boys in our class are going to help you, right? ”
"I copied the school motto a hundred times." Someone added.
"How many years have passed?" Liu Xue sighed, "If anyone fights for me back then, I promise to pounce on him and give birth to him!" ”
"Liu Xue, you wrote me a love letter back then." Ah B laughed out loud.
"That's a cheat sheet for the exam, okay? If you want to send a love letter, you won't be given it! Liu Xue scolded with a smile.
Everyone began to coax along with Ah B's topic.
I stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom." With that, he pushed the door open and went out.
When I came back from the bathroom, in the hallway, a woman walked over and seemed to be looking for the room number.
I saw that she was a little familiar, and she saw me too, and I stopped.
She was holding her bag in front of her with both hands, looking at me quietly, there was a kind of tranquility in her eyes, as if she had nothing to do with the noise around her, she was as white as a daisy, like a big girl next door.
I stood in the doorway and looked at her, feeling my desires quiet in her eyes, which I knew. Some people have never met each other before, but when they meet for the first time, they will feel familiar; And some people haven't seen each other for many years, but those eyes often appear in their memories in their dreams.
"Lu Yanchen." She smiled and called me, "You're going to stand here with me all the time?" ”
"That's not bad either." I laughed, "Chen Yiyao, long time no see." ”
