Chapter 2: London

2

I was a junior and only went home once a year, but it wasn't that I couldn't afford a ticket back home, I just didn't like my family, and I hated those people.

That summer was my third summer in London and I met someone who said he would always be with me. I don't know when he regretted it, but at the beginning of the story, it's always the most beautiful and moving.

As an outstanding alumnus, I attended the school's freshman party in September this year. It was a dance party on a large lawn, where every girl was dressed in beautiful and fashionable dresses, and the boys, who were under twenty years old, wore suits, showing a maturity that did not match their age.

I chose a milky white low-cut dress in the fashion store, the brooch on the chest is the latest model of CHANLE this year, I chose the brooch of the Louis Vuitton family for a long time, and finally chose it because I like the perfume of the CHANL family, which is enough to pay for this dress. When the freshman party began, Nick and I danced a waltz in front of the crowd. In fact, it's just the time of a song.

After the dance, Alice hurried over. She was my roommate and classmate. As an Englishman, she completely inherited the delicate skin of white people. Alice's upper body is a white vest that shows her belly button, and you can see the looming vest line.

"Sorry dear, traffic jam!"

"The dance is over, and your Mr. right didn't show up."

The Mr. right in my mouth is a man we saw in the school park a few days ago, Asian, good-looking, I have never seen him before, and I guess it is also from this school.

"You talk nonsense, I saw him!" Alice said, "At eight o'clock in your direction!" ”

I turned my head and saw two boys in white shirts and black trousers, talking and laughing.

"Left or right?"

"The one on the left, but the one on the right seems to be more handsome."

“······”

"Can you be serious?"

"Hey, they're coming!"

It's only ten seconds, and the two men who were far away ten seconds ago are now close at hand.

"Hello, you're dancing so well." One of them said to me.

"Thank you."

"Meet me, my name is Jay, and I'm in the Department of Oil Painting." He held out his hand, and I shook it perfunctorily.

"Hua, vocal department." I glanced at Mr. right, who was Alice, and asked, "Won't you introduce yourself?" ”

"Hello, call me Chen."

"Chen?"

"Yes."

"This is my friend, Alice."

"Hello!"

"Hello."

Jay continued to say to me, with no intention of leaving, "You're dancing so well, do you have time for the night?" The freshman party is the same every year, it's too boring. ”

"Aren't you freshmen?"

"It's not. Don't be curious, there are so many people in the academy, it's normal that you haven't seen it. ”

I was amused by his sense of humor and said yes again and again.

At this time, Alice and Chen had already left each other's mobile phone numbers.

"Hua, I'm hungry, Chen told the new opening of a nice Chinese restaurant, do you want to be together?"

I looked at Jay and thought to myself, Alice, this guy is really fast.

"No, I lose weight."

"That's a shame." She said this on the surface, but secretly she didn't know how grateful I was for not ruining her new date, "I wish you a lightning bolt soon, bye!" ”

“······”

Alice hurried away, leaving Jay and me behind. He sat down in the chair Alice had been sitting in and looked at me with sparkling eyes.

"Are you free at night? You can watch a movie together, and a new film has been released recently. ”

"Is the way you talk to girls so old-fashioned?"

I pierced him.

He was a little surprised and unacceptable, "Okay, I lost." ”

I ignored him, and he confessed: "My friend and I, that is, the brother just now, we are trying to get each other's mobile phone numbers faster than anyone else, and I lost." ”

I laughed, "What age, you two still play such an old-fashioned game!" ”

The phone next to me rang, and the caller ID was my father, and I had to answer.

"I don't want to go - I have a fever - I know - that's it, hang up."

"What? Friend? ”

"My father."

"Oh."

Remembering my father's phone call just now, I had a flash of inspiration and said, "How about we have a deal?" If you win, I'll tell you the address of my apartment, my friend lives in a dormitory with me, and I'm sure she'll never tell you that friend's address. ”

"Sounds tempting. What do you want me to do? ”

"Accompany me to meet someone, and it will be done quickly, in ten minutes."

I took him to a café where he was sitting by the window and waiting to be met, with a half-drunk cup of coffee in front of him.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's fine." The man said politely.

He is the son of my father's business partner, a suave rich second generation whose reputation is very bad in the entire international student circle. It is said that he once had seven girlfriends in a month, and two were pregnant. My father asked me to come over and build a friendship with him.

"Next time, if I'm late, don't wait for me, I see you're busy."

"How so? Your father and my dad are good friends, so we're friends, right? ”

He took my hand on the table, and I struggled to break free. I was disgusted to see him smiling at me, but I also had to smile at him, "That's Xiang Tian—"

Before I finished what I had been thinking about for a long time, the product was very picky and said, "Please, it's in the UK, abroad, can you call me by my English name, my name is Neil." ”

"Okay Neil. I'll tell you the truth, actually, I-"

At this moment, just in time for the time card, Jay's call came, and I happily answered: "HONEY - I'm in the café - no, with a friend - it's a good friend I've known since I was a child - don't get me wrong-"

I covered the receiver of my mobile phone, looked at Xiang Tian aggrievedly, and begged him: "Please, my boyfriend called, help me confirm it, and say that we are good friends!" ”

"So you have a boyfriend?"

"Please, please!"

I took away the hand covering the earpiece, Jay's angry voice penetrated Xiang Tian's ears, his face turned blue instantly, and he slapped the table and said, "Damn, don't you have a boyfriend earlier?" What's the matter with my dad, let me be a spare tire? ”

Xiang someone's angry slammed the door and left.

I put my phone back to my ear and said coldly, "007, congratulations, you successfully completed the task, see you at the door." ”

"Do you often encounter this situation?" He asked me.

"No, only occasionally."

"I can always help you if you need to."

"No, I don't like to bother people."

"We're friends."

He's really familiar.

"Thank you, classmate Zhang Cheng, your Chinese name is really ugly!"

"Hey!" He was so angry that he wanted to hit me.

He caught up with me in two or three steps and asked, "Do you speak so directly?" ”

"If you don't like it, don't stay with me."

"No, you're hotter than a girl in London."

"The word itself is used to describe Chinese girls."

He was speechless to me, and I was secretly laughing at him behind my back.

I sent a text message to Alice to remind her to come back before the curfew.

She really crawled in again, like dating boys before, every time she met love, she would always lose her mind, get slightly drunk, and then quietly come in alone, fortunately our dormitory is on the first floor, otherwise she would have no place to climb.

"Are you okay? How much did you drink? ”

"Three glasses of whiskey, a strength of more than forty. I... I am fine! ”

"You're drunk again! Getting a girl drunk on a first date, that guy isn't a good thing. ”

"I can't blame him for this, I want to drink it myself, I'm happy!"

Alice staggered to the bed, leaned back, collapsed, thumped, and fell asleep.

I shook my head and sighed, and sat down at my desk to review a little bit of music theory: Mozart, God's favorite, masterpieces K330, K488, opera "The Marriage of Figaro······

The phone vibrated a little, I picked it up and saw that it was Jay who sent it: Hey, is your friend okay? Chan was drunk.

"It's not good, it's not bad, it looks like I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

I looked at the text message I had just sent out, put my phone back in its place, and received another message from him in less than ten seconds.

"I'm sorry, but I'll pay for you another day."

"No need."

"Okay, good night then, Hua."

I didn't reply, I threw my phone aside, and read music theory for another five minutes, but it couldn't get into my mind anymore, so I had to give up. I turned off the lights and went to bed to sleep.

At the end of the morning's class, I ran into Jay at the door of the classroom, not so much as someone doing it on purpose.

"Is your friend alright?"

"I said it last night, it's not good, it's not bad."

"Eat together?"

"Yes, but I still have classes in the afternoon, so we need to hurry."

"No problem."

I ended up at a café near the school, where I ordered a vegetable salad and lemonade, and Jay ordered fries and three lattes.

"Do you have any friends coming?"

"Nope." "My friend threw up three times last night, so I took off the floor all night and was sleepy," he said. ”

"Then you should ask him to invite you to dinner."

"Yes, he's going to treat me to coffee for a month."

We sat for more than 40 minutes, after which I had to go back to my dorm to take a nap, a habit I had since I was in elementary school in China, and I had to take a nap in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

He escorted me to the door of the dormitory and waved goodbye to me.
