Chapter Forty-Eight: A Strange Phone Call
"Huh? What's going on? Xiaoman pretended to be stupid, but she didn't know that she was not naturally suitable for lying, and she couldn't help but be happy when she told a lie. The smile raised at the corner of her mouth made people embarrassed to poke her.
"Xiaoman~~ What do you say is the use of you pretending to me? You know you're going to be the first to tell me sooner or later. Xiao Yi said with a smile, this girl, she has been like this since she was a child, there has never been a secret in her, and she will be tired if she can't hold it for a day in her heart. So Xiao Yili didn't worry about what she was going to hide from herself.
"Xiao Yi," the girl seemed a little embarrassed, "Xiao Yi, let me tell you, don't laugh at me, he, he told me a few days ago, said, what did you say..."
"What did you say?" This girl, who made herself so worried tonight, actually ran out on a date, and she was sorry for herself if she didn't tease her.
"Oh, you know, just say, that's it." Xiaoman "just" for a long time and didn't say what Dong Hai said, but he could guess it, listening to Xiaoman's voice, he could almost imagine her smiling blushing on the other end of the phone. This should be the first time Xiaoman has been confessed.
"Hmph, so you value sex and ignore friends, and forget your righteousness?"
"No, no, Xiaoyi, I haven't promised him yet, I want you to meet him and decide whether to agree or not. He said, give me time to think about it. Today's eating place is a bit noisy, I didn't hear the phone ring, I really don't do it anymore. Don't tell my mom just yet. ”
"You're really asking me to check for you."
"Yes, seriously, Xiaoyi, I think you are much calmer than me, don't people say that the IQ of a woman in love is zero. I guess I don't have time to change it, if I really look for this, my mother knows that it is estimated that she is going to get married, I am afraid that I am too impulsive now, and I will regret it in the future. Xiao Man's voice was a little low, not as babbling as he did at the beginning. This girl has finally grown up, and she can still consider it when she is confessed for the first time, and it is really different to work hard in society.
After thinking about it, Xiaoyi wasn't teasing her, "I don't know how to check it, it's just that I was originally a classmate, so I know a little bit about it, let's come out and have a meal together one day, I can only give you advice, but I can't help you make a decision." It depends on what you think in your heart. ”
"Well, I know. But I said that if you really find a boyfriend, you will be the first to tell you, and then let you check it, not like someone..."
"Ahem, what do you mean?"
"Hehe, no, no, seriously, tomorrow is the weekend, he asked me out to play, if you have nothing to do, let's go out for dinner together."
"Ah, tomorrow, eldest lady, you hate to marry, so urgent."
"Ouch, don't be in a hurry, then you will decide."
"Come on, just tomorrow. What time is it? ”
"I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, so he booked lunch at the 'Rose Restaurant' first. Can you go straight to there at 11:30? Take a taxi, I'll reimburse you, my sister is now an office worker. ”
"Rose Restaurant, isn't that for couples? If I don't go, don't be a light bulb, otherwise Dong Hai will hate me to death. ”
Rose Restaurant Xiaoyi knows, not far from C University, only two stops by car. Once Xiaoyi took a walk with Yuhan at night, and walked there unconsciously, looking from the outside, I only felt that there was a piece of rose red and lilac tones inside, and there were some beautifully dressed men and women in and out, holding hands, intimate. Later, I learned that this restaurant is quite famous among the white-collar class in Beijing, and the high-end dishes make the average white-collar worker grit their teeth and accept it, and the romantic mood makes people feel that it is worth the money, which infinitely satisfies the mood of contemporary young people pursuing petty bourgeoisie. The most important thing is that I heard that there is a wall in the restaurant, and on it is a declaration of love from various couples who have confessed and successfully proposed marriage at the Rose Restaurant.
"Oh, it's okay, it just so happens that I feel awkward when I go to that place, you're next to me, I'm at ease."
"No, let's change the day."
"I don't care, it's decided, tomorrow at half past eleven, Rose Restaurant, don't be late. Oops, he called me, don't say anything, hang up first, see you tomorrow. Bye-bye-bye. ”
Looking at the phone in her hand that was hung up, Xiao Yi blinked helplessly, she really didn't want to be a light bulb, and this girl, the word steady is really not related to her.
Dong Hai, almost no impression, although it was a class at the time, he didn't say anything, I only heard that he liked Xiaoman, but I didn't see him take any action, I didn't expect it to be 4 years, and he still chased him.
"Didi" mobile phone rang again, looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, the time showed that it was just called when I was talking to Xiaoman, and read the number again, I was sure that it was not familiar to me, maybe someone else made a mistake, and it couldn't be a business at this time.
put the phone under the pillow, rubbed his eyebrows, the mood tonight is really up and down, first I knew about Yuhan, and then I knew that Xiaoman was in love, and I remembered the classic line in "Forrest Gump": You never know what the next chocolate will taste like. Life is really like acting, and you never know what the next scene will be. Xiao Yi suddenly felt that the tangled things before were really unnecessary, and he was so young, so there were a lot of possibilities.
Looking up at the curtain in front of him, thinking about Yuhan over there, he was still a little sad in his heart. Fate is a thing that really likes to joke with people.
I turned off the lights at eleven o'clock, lay on the bed and read the encyclopedia of Chinese medicine for a while, set the alarm to 9 o'clock, and turned off the lamp in a daze and prepared to sleep. I don't know how long I slept, Xu was just asleep, Xu was in the second half of the night, I only felt a vibration in my ears, I touched my phone in a haze, closed my eyes and put it to my ear, and I thought it was still in the United States when I was asleep, and blurted out: "Hello, who is that?" I only listened to many people talking on the other side of the microphone, but I couldn't hear it clearly, and it seemed that someone was exhaling next to the microphone.
Slightly sober, remembering where he was, still closed his eyes, changed to Chinese, "Hey~~~~" because he didn't wake up, so it sounded more like a "hum" sound made by his nose, some lazy, some coquettish, and some relaxed, "Which ~~~bit~~ah~~?" Because the lights in the bedroom were turned off, Xiao Yi deliberately lowered her voice, as if whispering in her ear. After waiting for a few seconds, it was still noisy, and I vaguely heard a male voice shouting loudly: "Supper is coming." The noise was louder again, followed by the sound of chairs moving across the floor. But on the other end of the phone, there was still no one talking, but I could clearly hear the other party's breathing, "Hey, if you don't speak, I'll hang up." Make a mistake. Xiao Yi's voice was soft and soft, even if she was a little angry, but she couldn't hear it at all. Seeing that the other party still didn't reply, he fumbled and pressed the hang-up button, threw away the phone, turned over, and soon fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yi woke up at the sound of Zhao Ying waking up. I squinted and looked at my watch, and it was just after half past seven. Because of the midterm exams, everyone was rushing to get homework and papers, so the two local girls stayed in the dormitory this weekend. This morning, Zhao Ying got up really early. Reaching out to the tent, the curtains were opened, the sky was still bright, as if it was still raining lightly, crackling on the window, and a few falling yellow leaves were stuck on the window.
Lowering the curtains and retracting back into the warm quilt, Zhao Ying went into the bathroom to wash, and the other two people in the bedroom were still asleep, turning over, facing the wall, wanting to sleep again. However, when I woke up in the morning, it was difficult to fall asleep, and I really didn't want to get up at this point again, so after thinking about it, I simply didn't reluctantly fall asleep.
Habitually pick up the mobile phone, this is also a habit that Xiaoyi has developed abroad, the first thing he gets up in the morning is always to lie in the quilt and look at the phone, first to see if anyone has left a message on the Internet, and then to read the big and small news at home and abroad, generally after reading these, people will also be sober a lot.
I took out the phone under the pillow and opened the phone column, well, there was a missed call from last night, huh? Wait, and after careful comparison, the phone call in the middle of last night turned out to be the same number as the missed call. Glancing at the time of that call, it was past one o'clock in the morning. I called twice in a row, it shouldn't be the wrong number, but although I slept in a daze last night, Xiao Yi clearly remembered that no one answered on the other side of the phone. My head shook on the pillow, I couldn't think of it, and I simply didn't want to.
Open the news page, sliding page by page, hey, during this time, it seems that a lot of dignitaries from various countries have come to China. The Chinese military uncles are going to start getting busy again, and they are really tired. Flip through the political column, click on the economic page, quickly sweep through the main points, just look at a big headline, fingers across the screen, etc., and swipe up again, "Tenglong Group", four big characters come into view, a familiar name, click on the content, the title is "Tenglong Group stock plummeted, the company is facing acquisition and reorganization".
Tenglong Group, if I remember correctly, it was opened by Wang Yifei's family, and I still remember that the bewitching girl mentioned that such a large group would die so soon? Xiaoyi didn't study economics, and he didn't know anything about the economy, but if he thought about it, such a large enterprise, if there were no mistakes in decision-making or special circumstances, it shouldn't be.
Xiao Yi couldn't understand the ups and downs of the data, and remembered the last time she saw Wang Yifei at the art exhibition, and unnaturally remembered Gu Wenhao's relief at that time. You can think of anything you can think of him.
Hey, Wang Yifei, back then, he said that he was the four young people in the capital, but he didn't know the current scene of their family, did he still have the heart to soak in the little girl? Lying in the quilt and pouting, now that I think of him, I can look at it with the mood of watching a play.
After lying back and forth like this for a while, Zhao Ying had already gone out, and Yuhan seemed to be awake, unable to see through the curtain, only hearing the sound of her squirming.
I looked at the time, it was already 9 o'clock, I stretched, sat up, got dressed, reached out to the outside of the curtain and pulled the curtain halfway, looked at the light rain outside, thought about it and closed the curtain again.
Simply cleaned up the bed, the curtain on Yuhan's side was also opened, and he yawned and waved his hand at Xiaoyi, which was regarded as saying good morning. Xiao Yi shook her head with a smile, scraped her face with her slender index finger, and then rolled over and got out of bed.
