Chapter 02 of the urban romance novel [Sad City].
In our plan, the date of the confession was set for Christmas Eve, December 24th. In the days before that, in addition to the normal class time, Yifan and I were preparing for that day. Yifan changed his avant-garde clothes and weird hairstyle, and his dress became more and more stable and mature. After encountering Shui Binglan many times "accidentally", she could gradually feel some fluctuations in her Gujing Wubo's eyes.
Yifan and I are well aware of the classic principle of wanting to capture the old and indulge, and we are not fatally entangled with Shui Binglan, every time we meet "just right", we get together naturally, and we use generous and decent language, which is not very tight, but it subtly deepens the goddess's good impression of Yifan. Because Yifan's happiness also means Jialing's relief, Jialing is also extremely enthusiastic.
Under my careful planning, the four of us have slowly transformed into very good friends from many "unexpected encounters", and the four of us can often be seen walking together on campus, talking and laughing, playing, and thinking that we are classmates if you don't know.
Yifan also bought a camera for reporters from abroad, and in the past few months, he has secretly photographed Shui Binglan's figure, with various expressions, different postures, various occasions, and even the appearance of crying secretly in the dormitory, all of which were entrusted to his girlfriends to take pictures. And she didn't even notice it.
A week before Christmas Eve, a beautiful poster was posted on the school's bulletin board, which immediately attracted the interest of all teachers and students in the school—Huang Yifan's personal photography exhibition of Walking Tours (Shanghai to Beijing).
The announcement reads: The photo exhibition will be held for three days, from December 21 to 23, at the university's Centennial Lecture Hall. Each student who came to visit won a lucky draw with his or her own autograph, and the winning prize was an admission ticket worth 1,000 yuan - admission to the Christmas Eve dance party with buffet on the evening of the 24th, and free access to exquisite food and drinks provided by South Beauty Restaurant.
The dance was held at the LANCLUB of South Beauty Restaurant Group, located in the Twin Towers on Chang'an Avenue in Beijing. This is a very famous top luxury club in Beijing, designed by the world's number one design genius Philip Starck. Since its opening, it has become one of the top 10 clubs in the world.
This ticket also allows you to bring a lady in for free. The coupon is limited to 50. As soon as the announcement came out, the whole school was in an uproar, and there was an endless stream of students who came to consult. Naturally, Shui Binglan became a member of our preparatory team on the grounds that there was not enough manpower to arrange the exhibition, and he directly received a coupon. Of course, the same is true for Jialing. Two school-level beauties joined, and the number of handsome guys who came to "consult" was increasing day by day, and even handsome guys outside the school appeared.
When the exhibition officially opened at nine o'clock in the morning on December 21, the entrance of the exhibition was crowded. Fearing that chaos would lead to danger, the school urgently dispatched a large number of security guards to help maintain order.
The works on display this time are arranged in the order of Yifan's itinerary all the way. There are beautiful scenic spots, simple market characters, bustling city streets, quaint towns and villages, folk characteristic arts, cute birds and beasts, heavy commercial buildings, and avant-garde bars and discotheques. Each work is ingenious, beautiful and thought-provoking in terms of light and shadow, composition, color and line.
The teachers and students who came to visit were not only impressed by Yifan's superb photography skills, but also moved by Yifan's perseverance. Bing Lan was also deeply impressed by these adventurous photographs. From her expression and excited words, I could feel that she could go through an adventure like this.
At the exit of the exhibition, a lottery table was set up, and you only need to sign your name on the book to participate in a lottery. Due to the high popularity of LANCLUB in Beijing, and the consumption is not affordable by ordinary students, everyone is yearning for this free opportunity, resulting in a lively lottery office, and there will be warm applause whenever a student wins.
The three days of the show were a great success, and the show came to an end when the last winner was born on the third day. In the evening, the four of us had a small gathering at the South Beauty Restaurant for celebration. During the meal, Yifan took out three sets of dresses and gave them to three of us to thank us for our hard work for the exhibition in the past few days. Jialing and I shirked it according to the pretense agreed in advance, and accepted it generously, and Binglan saw that we accepted it, and it was not good to refuse again.
When Bing Lan accepted it, Yifan quietly gave me a thumbs up, and Jialing also pursed her lips and snickered. Everything was in my calculations. After sending the two goddesses back to the dormitory, Yifan and I discussed some of the details of the Christmas Eve Ball the next day. In order to ensure that we can have a good mental outlook tomorrow night, we did not stay up late to play games for the first time, and went to bed early. The other four roommates in the same dormitory also got coupons from Yifan because they helped a lot during the exhibition, so seeing that Yifan and I slept together, they all rested together.
The next day, Yifan and I slept until noon, and when we got up, Yifan invited me to have a meal with my roommate in the same dormitory. AFTER THAT, WE TOOK A TAXI AND HEADED STRAIGHT FOR LANCLUB. Yi Fan has a special area in the room as a special venue for this Peking University prom, and the purpose of our visit is to make some special decorations and add some interesting decorations to the site. After a busy afternoon, when we looked at the new scene, we were also very excited. Next, it is time to wait patiently for the goddess to review.
From 6 o'clock, customers began to come to LANCLUB. The guests will be surprised to find that there is a very special area in the whole dance scene, which is surrounded by a layer of white bead curtains, which looks mysterious, and there is a delicate sign hanging above the entrance of the bead curtain, which reads - Peking University Student Zone, and the guests passing by can't help but stop curiously and want to find out, but they can't see anything clearly through the hazy bead curtain, only an extremely beautiful piano piece is faintly passing through the bead curtain and slowly flowing out, making people reluctant to leave for a long time.
As the melodious melody of Richard Clayderman's famous piano piece "Autumn Whispers" resounded throughout the clubhouse, I knew it must be Bing Lan and Jia Ling who had arrived. Because I asked a classmate to stand guard downstairs in advance, as soon as I saw Bing Lan and them enter the elevator, I immediately notified the club lobby manager to switch the background music of the club to synchronize with our area, and this song is Bing Lan's favorite piano song.
On Yifan's mobile phone screen, the screen of Bing Lan entering the club was displayed simultaneously, and obviously Bing Lan didn't expect that she could hear her favorite piano song as soon as she entered the door. Under the respectful leadership of the four waiters, Bing Lan walked towards the elevator in a silky soft aqua blue evening dress, with a surprised and generous face. The surrounding guests willingly gave way, and even Jialing quietly took a few steps back, giving up the focus to tonight's heroine - Bing Lan.
The lights leading to the elevator hall were automatically adjusted, and all around gradually dimmed, and a spotlight happened to shine on Bing Lan, following her graceful figure. In this clubhouse carefully designed by world-class design masters, with wonderful lighting, as well as gorgeous and decent costumes customized by Yifan himself from abroad, coupled with the unique temperament and beautiful face of Ice Blue, a perfect goddess was born. All the people around them forgot everything and just lost their minds and admired the beautiful picture. When the elevator door slowly opened, even Bing Lan himself seemed to forget everything, fell into some kind of intoxication, and couldn't help but enter the elevator with gentle steps.
Because there is a lifelike Tibetan mastiff in the elevator is looking forward to her, this Tibetan mastiff is a three-dimensional real image projected by the latest three-dimensional holographic technology, and the appearance of the Tibetan mastiff is exactly the same as the one that Bing Lan's family once raised. The Tibetan mastiff named Batian has almost grown up with Binglan since he was a child, and in the past ten years, it has been like Binglan's relatives. But not long after Binglan got the admission letter from Peking University, she probably had a premonition that Binglan was going to stay away from her hometown and go to school in a different place, and she would no longer be able to accompany her every day in the future. That night, Bing Lan cried for a whole night guarding the body of Batian. Since coming to Peking University, a few months have passed, and Binglan misses this Tibetan mastiff day and night, often in the corner of the campus where there is no one, or in the dead of night in the dormitory, she will be seen gently caressing the photo of Batian and crying silently alone.
And all of this was secretly filmed by Binglan's friends, so I arranged for Yifan to spend a huge amount of money to hire a professional company to produce this complete set of three-dimensional holographic technology resurrected Tibetan mastiff images, and installed them in the club in advance. I also asked a professional photo processing expert to seamlessly synthesize the pictures of ice blue and Tibetan mastiff into the photos taken by Yifan. Because when Bing Lan visited Yifan's photography before, he sighed that he could be like Yifan, hike to these places, and leave his own figure in these photos.
So when Bing Lan saw the vivid Batian again in the elevator, he cried with joy. Because it is produced by a professional film and television stunt team, every move of this Tibetan mastiff is extremely real, although it can't be touched, but it looks like it's really in front of you. It kept jumping around Ice Blue, and motioned for Ice Blue to follow it. So, under the leadership of this virtual Tibetan mastiff, Bing Lan got out of the elevator, and while crying excitedly, she walked into the dance scene of the Peking University area with the piano music.
At the dance party, Yifan and I had already carefully arranged, and the beautiful photographs taken by Yifan on foot were hung high and low. It's just that these works are completely different from the previous exhibitions, because each photo has the figure of Bing Lan and the Tibetan mastiff, due to the extremely exquisite computer synthesis, it is impossible to see that it is synthesized in the later stage, just like Bing Lan really took his most beloved Tibetan Mastiff and Yifan for a hike together. Bing Lan admired them one by one, and I don't know how many tears of emotion I shed along the way. The Tibetan mastiff was very understanding and silently accompanied Bing Lan, slowly strolling through the venue.
And when Bing Lan saw the next few photos, she was even more moved to cry, because these photos were not taken by Yifan hiking, but photos of Bing Lan crying alone in the loneliest corner of the campus, gently stroking the photo of Batian. In the photo, there is a figure behind Bing Lan who is silently accompanying her and guarding her, and this person is Yifan. At this time, the image of Batian disappeared, and slowly turned into a sentence floating in the air - Ice Blue, in the future life, let me protect you instead of Batian, this guardianship will be for a lifetime, because, I love you!
