Chapter Thirty-Eight: Returning from Study
As usual, before five o'clock, Ruchu had already finished her work for the day in advance, packed her things and prepared to get off work. Several colleagues have recommended that a new barbecue restaurant has opened in the west, which makes barbecue tastes very good, and strongly recommends Ruchu to try it, Ruchu has not gone out to eat with Wenyuan for a long time, and is ready to call Shangwen Yuan to go to that barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue after work today. As soon as it was five o'clock, Ruchu ran to Wenyuan's office with his beloved bag with great interest. While pushing the door, he excitedly said to Wen Yuan, "Let's go, we won't go home to cook today, let's go to the newly opened barbecue restaurant in the west to eat barbecue, I'll have a treat"
As a matter of course, he thought that Wen Yuan would agree without hesitation, so when Wen Yuan said that he couldn't go today, he was very puzzled. Watching Wen Yuan walk to the door and take off his clothes from the hanger, he followed Wen Yuan closely as before, expecting Wen Yuan to give a reason not to go out for barbecue
After Wen Yuan got dressed, he said to Ruchu, "Hu Zheng is back, I'm going to pick her up at the airport"
"Hu Zheng is back? How do you know? I called her a month ago, but she didn't say that she wanted to come back," Ruchu heard that Hu Zheng was back, and was a little surprised, "Then I'll pick her up with you!" I'd love to see her."
"No, she finally came back, I'm going to pick her up myself and surprise her," Wen Yuan said happily
"Okay then" Since Wen Yuan said so, Ruchu had no choice but to agree to Wen Yuan
Wen Yuan sent Ruchu home, and then drove to the largest flower shop near the company, carefully selected a bouquet of red roses, and prepared to give it to Hu Zheng later. Before Hu Zheng left, she said that she liked mature men. After four years of baptism, Wen Yuan has worked hard and gradually become the type that Hu Zheng likes. Wen Yuan secretly thought in his heart, he should have a chance this time!
Wen Yuan waited at the airport for two hours with the bouquet of roses, Wen Yuan arrived an hour early, but the flight was delayed by an hour due to the weather. Passers-by coming and going at the airport will take some free time to glance at Wen Yuan. A handsome boy full of joy holds a bouquet of roses full of love, and passers-by think that this boy must have a very beautiful love!
Finally heard the airport radio saying that the flight from Pennsylvania to Shanghai had arrived, and asked the staff who picked up the airport to prepare the tips. Wen Yuan got up from the bench and stood in the most conspicuous place waiting for Hu Zheng to come out of it
finally watched the person he had been thinking about for four years appear, but what Wen Yuan didn't expect was that Hu Zheng was not alone, she was still holding a man. Seeing that they were talking and laughing, Wen Yuan felt a particularly uneasy feeling
Sure enough, Hu Zheng saw Wen Yuan who came to pick up the plane, walked towards Wen Yuan, hugged Wen Yuan, and then introduced the boy next to Wen Yuan, "This is my boyfriend, we met at school, his name is Kevin, his Chinese name is Wei Yuan, we are coming back this time to get married" After speaking, he introduced Wen Yuan to Wei Yuan. Wen Yuan shook Wei Yuan's hand out of politeness
Wen Yuan originally thought that after four years of growth, he would finally have the opportunity to enter Hu Zheng's heart this time, but he didn't expect Hu Zheng to completely block the road this time. Wen Yuan gave Hu Zheng the flowers specially prepared for Hu Zheng, and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat first, the things on the plane are not delicious, you should be hungry too."
Hu Zheng said, "No need, you can send Wei Yuan home first, and then send me directly to the hotel, I've booked everything."
Inside the car
At the beginning, Hu Zheng asked Wen Yuan about what had happened in China in the past few years, and Wen Yuan was a little out of state. Hu Zheng also noticed and asked, "How is it now?" ”
Wen Yuan said, "It's the same as before, every day is heartless"
Hu Zheng said, "I'm not asking about this, I'm asking about feelings." Do you feel like you two are a good match? ”
Hu Zheng suddenly said such a sentence Wen Yuan didn't understand, thinking that she was just joking and casually saying that, Wen Yuan said, "How come, you don't know me, she and I have never treated each other as the opposite sex"
After sending Hu Zheng back to the hotel, Wen Yuan lost his appetite and drove home directly. When Lin Xuan left, he told himself not to go to the bar to drink anymore, and in the past four years, whenever Wen Yuan wanted to escape reality by drinking, Lin Xuan's instructions would always come to mind. After Lin Xuan came back, he must take Lin Xuan to drink with him, Wen Yuan thought like this in his heart and walked to the tobacco and alcohol counter and took a lot of wine
After returning home, Wen Yuan didn't change his shoes, just sat on the sofa, opened the wine he had just bought, and poured it into his stomach. In the past, every time she was rejected by Hu Zheng, Wen Yuan always thought that as long as she worked harder, became better, and matured, as long as she didn't have a boyfriend, she would still have a chance, but this time Hu Zheng's boyfriend had a friend, and he was completely disqualified. Lost, sad... For a moment, all the sad emotions were like a long-suppressed volcano, and all of them exploded at once. Wen Yuan picked up his mobile phone and called Ruchu, and after so many years of feelings, only Ruchu can understand.
After hanging up the phone, Ruchu immediately knocked on the door of Wen Yuan's house in slippers, and the drunk Wen Yuan opened the door for Ruchu and went back to the sofa to drink, not noticing that Ruchu was also half drunk. This is the first time she has drunk alcohol, and she wants to know if alcohol can make people forget their heartache
Ruchu looked at Wen Yuan's appearance and was a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that the happiest person when Hu Zheng comes back should be Wen Yuan, and he should happily accompany Hu Zheng to dinner. Ruchu asked Wen Yuan with some worry, "What's wrong with you?" Why is a person drinking like this, shouldn't you be happily celebrating the return of Hu Zheng? ”
Wen Yuan said sadly, "Hu Zheng is not one who came back, she has a boyfriend, and she is getting married"
Hearing that Hu Zheng has a boyfriend and is going to get married, Ruchu was very surprised, when Hu Zheng called Hu Zheng a month ago, Hu Zheng didn't mention that she had a boyfriend, why is this going to get married. Seeing Wen Yuan's disappointed appearance, Ruchu didn't know how to comfort Wen Yuan, so he could only take a cup and pour a full glass of wine to accompany Wen Yuan to get drunk.
Seeing that Wen Yuan had already started to talk nonsense, Ruchu Chu was very distressed. After hesitating again and again, I finally mustered up the courage to say, "She's getting married, shouldn't you let it go?" Don't torture yourself, okay? ”
Ruchu mustered up the courage and humbly begged but did not get Wen Yuan's response, Ruchu looked at Wen Yuan and found that Wen Yuan had fallen asleep with only a small half bottle of wine left in his hand. Ruchu drank most of the wine in his cup in one go, and Ruchu, who had never drunk alcohol before, choked on this big sip of wine and coughed.
Putting down the cup, he used all his strength to drag Wen Yuan, who was 23 cm taller than himself, to his bed. After helping Wen Yuan take off his shoes and cover the quilt, he returned to the living room as before, and helped Wen Yuan clean up the wine bottles in the living room, wash the wine glasses and put them back where they should be, and then closed the door of Wen Yuan's house worriedly
When he returned to his house, he took a hot bath, cleaned up his wine bottle, and then lay down on the bed. When he heard Wen Yuan say that Hu Zheng was going to get married, his head, which was about to be paralyzed by alcohol, suddenly sobered up halfway. This will lie in bed as before, and I don't know what I'm thinking about, anyway, I haven't been sleepy after lying down for a long time.
The next morning, I woke up early. I drank too much wine last night, and when I got up, my head hurt to death, and I didn't want to get up, but when I thought that Wen Yuan drank more than myself yesterday, I must be more uncomfortable than myself today, so I went into the kitchen to cook early after a simple wash. In the past few years, I have been working alone outside, and I am also learning to cook some simple food.
As before, I soaked the honey water, filled the millet porridge, and then knocked on the door and asked Wen Yuan to eat breakfast
Wen Yuan was woken up by the knock on the door as before, he drank so much wine last night, and he had a splitting headache this morning. The first thing Wen Yuan did was to call the company's personnel department to ask for a day off
After cleaning up, I had breakfast at Ruchu's house, Wen Yuan asked for leave today, Ruchu could only take a taxi to the company by himself, Ruchu called Hu Zheng and said that he wanted to have dinner with Hu Zheng and Wei Yuan tomorrow Saturday
At the beginning, when he said that he invited Hu Zheng and Wei Yuan to dinner, Wen Yuan said that he would not go, and when Hu Zheng took Wei Yuan to the appointment, he saw that Wen Yuan had already arrived early. Wei Yuan didn't know Wen Yuan's feelings for Hu Zheng, and always thought that Wen Yuan was just a friend, so he took the initiative to tell Wen Yuan and Ruchu a lot of things about him and Hu Zheng in school, including how he met Hu Zheng and how he chased Hu Zheng.
Seeing Wen Yuan's somewhat indifferent attitude towards Wei Yuan, Ru Chu could only work hard to find a topic to cooperate with Wei Yuan, so as not to make Wei Yuan feel embarrassed
During the meal, Hu Zheng told Ruchu, "When she comes back this time, she is going to marry Wei Yuan" Although Wen Yuan had already said it to Ruchu yesterday, but when he heard Hu Zheng personally say that he was going to get married, Ruchu was still shocked
After eating, Ruchu strongly asked Hu Zheng to quit the hotel room and move to live with her, under the soft grinding and hard bubble of Ruchu, Hu Zheng finally agreed to temporarily move in and live with Ruchu, but Hu Zheng emphasized that living with Ruchu was only temporary, and when she settled down, she would go out to find a house by herself
Since Hu Zheng moved to Ruchu's house, Ruchu has basically bought their own vegetables and cooked at home every day. Wei Yuan often came to have dinner with them, Wei Yuan went to work as an executive in the investment department of a foreign company, and Hu Zheng also successfully interviewed the marketing director of a foreign company.
