On Friday, Dai Weifan came to the downstairs of Xin Di's company on time, and less than five minutes later, Xin Di came down, carrying a large canvas bag as usual, and got into his car.

"My parents will be here later."

As expected, Dai Weifan was obviously startled, Xin Di took in his reaction, looked at him with a little mockery and smiled, "Calm and calm, not only the two of them, Lu Fei and Xin Chen will also be there." ”

David Fan regretted that he couldn't hold his breath, so he had to start the car, and at the same time laughed self-deprecatingly, "There must be a reason why you called me, right?" ”

"That's right, but the reasons are not as complicated and serious as you think, you just need to behave appropriately, participate in the conversation politely and generously, in case my mother asks about your relationship with me, just say that we have a good impression of each other."

"What if I act like more than just being nice to you?"

Xin Di pouted, "Don't behave around, get me in trouble, I won't thank you." ”

They walked into the private room booked by Lu Fei, Xin Kaiming, Li Xin and Lu Fei were already sitting inside, and when they saw Dai Weifan, Xin Kaiming and Li Xin were quite surprised, this person's too tall and handsome appearance was of course only one of the reasons. Xin Di made a very general introduction: "My father, my mother, Lu Fei, you have seen it." This is David Van , my friend. ”

Xin Kaiming and Li Xin looked to be in their fifties, neatly dressed and conservative, and their expressions were quite serious, which contrasted strongly with Xin Di in a hand-painted graffiti T-shirt. David Fan greeted politely, his mind turning, and he somewhat knew why Xin Di called him over for dinner. He pulled out a chair for Xin Di and sat down next to her.

"Why hasn't Tatsuko come yet?" Xin Di asked.

Xin Kaiming said: "She just called me and said that her father came back suddenly and was going to accompany her father to dinner, and I asked them to come over together. ”

Xin Di said happily: "Great, I haven't seen my little uncle for almost a year." ”

Of course, Dai Weifan couldn't help but be curious about the little uncle Xin Di who had compared himself to himself, Xin Di saw that he was interested, and whispered: "You will be able to see it later, I promise to make you ashamed of yourself." ”

"Anyway, today I met with my parents, including your uncle, and it's worth being ashamed of myself." Davifan didn't care about the blow at all, and replied in the same whisper, Xin Di could only marvel at the thickness of his skin.

Li Xin watched them talk to each other in some surprise, and couldn't decide what to say for a while.

Xin Kaiming shook his head, "Xiao Chen, this kid, also told me that he was going to Zongshan tomorrow, but he didn't come to rest early today, but he was stopped by me." A few days ago, it rained more heavily in the mountainous areas of that area, and it was troublesome to catch up with mudslides and landslides. Xiaodi, you have to learn this from Xiao Chen, you just don't like sports too much. ”

Xin Di really doesn't like any sports, she smiled and said: "I want to drive to Tibet like her, and my mother has to be in a hurry with me." ”

"Where do you care if I'm in a hurry now?" Li Xin said angrily, "When I went to Hong Kong this time, I simply remembered to call me after a few days." ”

When it comes to Hong Kong, Xin Di and David Fan have ghosts in their hearts and can't help but look at each other. Xin Di quickly looked away, "The places I go to are safe, just like I usually go to work, don't worry." Ah, by the way, Mom, the company arranged for me to go to New York Fashion Week in the middle of next month, and I reported it in advance, and I forgot to mention it when I got it. ”

"You just forgot that you have a mother." Li Xin had no choice but to smile and shake her head, "You haven't been to New York, is anyone going together?" ”

"Ah Ken left directly from Hong Kong, and I'll see which way the ticket booked for me came from, and we'll meet there anyway."

Lu Fei said: "I also have to go to New York for a meeting next month, maybe we can go together when we have a certain time." ”

Li Xin said happily: "That's good, that's good." She suddenly thought that Dai Weifan was still beside her, and thought that her daughter had reiterated on the phone during the day that she had no idea about Lu Fei, and she would bring a male friend to appear at this time, although she would have to wait until she went back to torture to know what the relationship between the two was, but it was not good to snub him or let him misunderstand, so she smiled at him kindly: "Xiao Dai, Lu Fei and Xiao Di have been classmates since childhood, Xiao Di is sloppy, someone will take care of him on a business trip, and I am also relieved." ”

Dai Weifan nodded yes, "Yes, Xiaodi almost lost her luggage in Hong Kong this time." At the airport, Xin Di answered the phone and walked forward absentmindedly, almost forgetting a few bags in her seat, he chased after her and returned them to her, but she only reluctantly said "thank you" impatiently.

"Are you going to Hong Kong together?" Li Xin was not surprised.

Xin Di secretly complained, knowing that her mother was simply aware of some things, but it was inconvenient to stare at Dai Weifan as a warning, but fortunately, he didn't intend to provoke her, and answered decently, "I am in the advertising business, and I also went to see a clothing exhibition, and I met Xiaodi in Hong Kong." ”

"You can't have met in Hong Kong, can you?"

Dai Weifan said honestly: "Auntie, Xiaodi and I are alumni of the Academy of Fine Arts, two terms higher than her, and we have known each other for almost ten years. ”

Li Xin was afraid that her daughter would pull a passer-by to eat at will for her perfunctory, but at this time, she couldn't help but be a little more interested in Dai Weifan, and when she asked him about his work, he naturally answered all questions and was very serious.

Xin Kaiming chatted with Lu Fei. Lu Fei's father had been transferred to a southern province a few years ago, and Xin Kaiming asked with concern about the situation of the old leader and his family, and Lu Fei answered them one by one. Then talking about the development project of Haotian, Xin Kaiming is currently in the Municipal Economic Commission, naturally concerned about the operation of the city's large projects, Lu Fei roughly introduced the progress of the work, he told Xin Kaiming, his sister Lu is about to represent Haotian Group to follow up the project, and at the same time specifically said that the house where Xin Chen lives is also among the demolition. Xin Kaiming nodded, "I'll ask Xiao Chen what his plans are when I go back, this kid, why hasn't he arrived yet?" ”

As he was talking, Xin Chen pushed the door and walked in, laughing with a man next to him who looked to be less than 40 years old. After Dai Weifan looked at him, he had to admit that Xin Di really didn't mean to humiliate him by comparing him with himself.

Xin Kaiyu, who was wearing a yellow and black striped polo shirt, looked surprisingly young, not at all like the father of a 25-year-old daughter. He has a dashing demeanor, and his appearance is indeed worthy of the word Sven Junxiu. Xin Chen looks very similar to him, this appearance makes his daughter's beauty a little heroic, and for a man, it was too standard, but with a little trace of time, it turned out to be quite mature. He greeted his brother and sister-in-law, and when he saw Lu Fei standing up, he was slightly stunned, they had met before, so they naturally had an impression and nodded to each other.

Xin Di has always been very close to Xin Kaiyu, and hurriedly invited the little uncle to sit beside him, and vaguely introduced Dai Weifan, he looked so young, Dai Weifan really couldn't afford to call him uncle, so he only got up and shook hands with him.

"Why are you still so elusive, and you won't say a word in advance when you come back." Xin Kaiming said to his younger brother unceremoniously.

Xin Kaiyu didn't care about the tone of his eldest brother's speech that was a little reprimanding when he opened his mouth for decades, and only said: "There is something temporary." Then he turned to Xin Di, "Dizi, this dress is beautiful." ”

Xin Di laughed, her mother had just muttered to her that her homemade graffiti T-shirt was a bit unseemly, "Little uncle, you are not old at all, you must teach my father how to maintain it." ”

"Your dad is born to worry about his life, no way." Xin Kaiyu said lightly.

The waiter began to serve the food, and Xin Kaiming asked Xin Chen about his plans after the demolition. Others Xin Chen can be perfunctory, but she can only answer seriously to the uncle: "The current housing prices are too high, I don't want to buy a house for the time being, maybe rent a room to live." ”

Xin Kaiyu smiled: "You can also go to Kunming and live with me for a while." "He went to the southwest a few years ago to do business and has already bought a house there.

Xin Kaiming shook his head, "It's okay for Xiao Chen to go to your place to play, but you can't go around the world like you." Girls always have to get married, it's okay not to buy a house, get the demolition money and plan the investment well, don't spend it indiscriminately. You don't have to rent a house, you can move in with Xiaodi, just to be a companion. ”

Li Xin frowned, she instinctively didn't like this idea, but of course it was inconvenient to say anything at this time. Xin Di didn't mind living with her cousin, but she saw Xin Chen squeezing her eyes at herself quickly, obviously signaling to her that she wouldn't stay here, so she couldn't help but laugh and winked at her.

The dishes came up one after another, and Xin Chen seemed to have a good appetite today, and he didn't have the same cowardice as he ate with Lu Fei last time. Lu Fei served soup for her, "You like to drink bamboo soup, it just so happens that this family has it." ”

Xin Chen whispered, "Thank you." ”

Of course, he knew her tastes, they had eaten more than once before, except for Xin Chen's house, downstairs in the small restaurant where Lu Fei strongly suspected her hygiene, Lu Fei also took her to a famous restaurant in the city, but found that she was far more familiar with good restaurants than him, and she didn't need to look at the menu when ordering, and when she ate, she sat with a straight back and looked like Sven, which was naturally cultivated by Xin Kaiyu when he was rich and free.

She lowered her head to drink the soup, Li Xin looked at Lu Fei's undisguised concern eyes, and sighed secretly, knowing that it was probably impossible for her daughter and him to be completely impossible, and at the same time seeing that Dai Weifan was transferring Xin Di's favorite dishes to her, and Xin Di was talking to Xin Kaiyu and ignored it. She thought that this man was so handsome that he was so handsome that he behaved quite well, but she didn't know what she was thinking about her precious daughter.

Xin Kaiming, Li Xin and his wife don't like to talk, Lu Fei is even more silent, Xin Di and Xin Kaiyu chatted happily, and Dai Weifan, who was left out in the cold, said a little speechlessly: "Xin Chen, the LOGO of this restaurant seems to have been designed by you, right?" ”

Xin Chen nodded, this LOGO is still the first relatively large list that Dai Weifan helped her take more than two years ago. Her asking price is not high, the design is clean and beautiful, and the restaurant owner is very satisfied, and since then she has slowly made a reputation in this industry. She pointed to the beautifully bound thick menu next to her, "I also repaired the pictures on this menu they made this year, the boss is obsessed with photography, and the equipment is very professional, but the technology is too bad, and I have to shoot it myself, so I can only rely on post-processing." ”

Li Xin saw that Dai Weifan actually knew Xin Chen, and was secretly vigilant, but fortunately, Xin Chen didn't say anything anymore and continued to bury his head in eating.

"Lu Fei, you have to stay here until the project is over, right?" Li Xin asked.

Lu Fei hesitated, "After this project is over, I also plan to stay here for a long time." ”

Xin Kaiming was slightly surprised, he knew the cooperation between Haotian Group's project and Lu Fei's company, generally venture capital companies will inject funds in batches, and there will be people involved in the implementation of the project, but they will not follow up the whole process, and the venture capital company only has one office in Beijing in China, and it is unlikely that it will set up a branch locally.

Lu Fei's father, Lu Jingzhong, is his old leader, he served as the secretary general of Lu Jingzhong for five years, and they have a deep relationship with each other, and he naturally cares about the family affairs of the Lu family. At present, Lu Jingzhong is serving as a local magistrate in a southern province, and his daughter Lu is married to Su Jie, the general manager of Haotian Group. At this time, Lu Fei's statement vaguely contained the meaning of leaving the company to stay in the local development, he remembered what his wife had said to Lu Fei a few years ago before he went abroad, and he thought it was ridiculous at the time, and then thought of Lu Fei's obvious concern for Xin Chen just now, and couldn't help but groan.

Xin Chen's mobile phone rang, she took it out to look at the number, and frowned slightly, "Yi'an, hello." ”

"I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, I drank too much that day and lost my temper."

Xin Chen thought about it, and then remembered that he should have said a chance encounter at the bar two days ago, "It's nothing, it's in the past." ”

"Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up and have dinner together, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm having dinner right now, is there anything you said on the phone?"

Feng Yi'an was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I'll contact you another day, goodbye." ”

Xin Chen put down her mobile phone and found that the private room suddenly became strangely quiet, Xin Kaiming, Li Xin, Xin Kaiyu and Xin Di all looked at her, she suddenly realized that Feng Yi'an's name should not be mentioned, and sure enough, Xin Kaiming asked: "Xiao Chen, is it Xiao Feng?" It's all broken up, what is he still pestering for? ”

Xin Chen smiled, "No entanglement, we haven't seen each other for a long time, just a greeting." ”

Xin Kaiming is obviously not interested in the statement that goodbye is still a friend, "You said last time that he had a girlfriend again, don't bother with this kind of person, save trouble." ”

Xin Chen smiled and nodded, Xin Kaiyu couldn't help but be funny, "Chenzi is an adult, he will handle these things, big brother, don't worry about it." ”

Xin Kaiming glared at his younger brother, "How old she is is also your child, you don't remember this." ”

Coming out of the restaurant, Xin Di and Xin Chen walked behind, "Chenzi, come to my house tomorrow if you're fine." ”

Xin Chen whispered: "I'll go hiking tomorrow, and I'll make an appointment with someone." ”

"Didn't my dad say he wouldn't let you go for fear of a mudslide?"

Xin Chen smiled: "No, the rain has stopped for two days, don't tell the uncle, I'll be back in the afternoon, it's safe." ”

"I really don't understand, can this thing be addictive? Come back and come straight to me, I've got something to tell you. ”

"Okay."

The next day is cloudy weather, the mountain air is fresh, the temperature is suitable, the intensity of the longitudinal mountain is not large, but there is a large steep slope basically no road, thorny, all rely on the man in front of the wave * to open the way, follow the back and have to be careful, a little careless will be hung by sharp thorns.

Xin Chen has a lot of experience, so naturally there is no problem, but after returning from Tibet, he began to rush to complete the work at hand, and his physical strength has not fully recovered, so he is inevitably a little short of breath and tired. They had been walking for four hours, and were now sitting on the ground in a slightly flat place.

Three years ago, Bruce noticed that Xin Chen was almost completely silent and didn't like to talk when he was hiking, and he apparently still has this habit. He didn't mind, and looked at the few people who were posing for pictures at the bottom of the hillside with a little mockery, "I can't figure it out, you'll be mixed with them." ”

It's no wonder that Bruce disdains it, today is the regular route, a few people brought their girlfriends over, they couldn't keep up with the progress at all, they couldn't go far and they were out of breath, and they loved to pose for pictures, and the whole team was forced to slow down. Another young girl, a staff member of a foreign company, just started to participate in outdoor activities, driving a red sports car, a full set of brand-name outdoor outfits, originally quite reserved, after seeing Bruce today, she took the initiative to invite him to the same car when she set off, and also said euphemistically: "My car is too small, Hehuan or take another car." ”

Xin Chen ignored her little caution, only smiled, and got into the off-road vehicle of the event initiator. After starting the mountain, the whole team slowly pulled away, first parallel to Bruce, and the beautiful woman who talked to him directly in English from time to time gradually fell behind, and Bruce couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Xin Chen smiled, "People are group animals, they all have to tolerate each other, and those who don't look down can choose to ignore it!" You've been on forums a lot, and I thought you should have accepted their pies. ”

"The only reason I'm going over there is if you're okay, or I don't know what you're doing."

Xin Chen didn't answer him, "Anyway, you know, there are people all the way who are even more terrible, playing games while climbing the mountains, today the fox catches the rabbit, tomorrow he simply pretends to be the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, takes hiking shoes and drinks, and the pretentiousness is unbearable." This one," she said, raising her chin, "is good. ”

"I still insist that there are no more than 10 people on long-distance hikes, and that a maximum of two or three people are good for such short treks. You don't like to be adventurous as before, Hehuan, it won't be the last time you went to Qinling to leave a shadow, right? ”

Xin Chen was silent for a moment and shook his head, "Since they all survived, I don't have any shadows, otherwise I won't travel again." It's just that after that time, I decided to cherish other people's lives and cherish my own, and it is not a problem to go to any difficult place, but I must be well prepared. ”

"That's good, I don't want the only time we spent together to be a memory you don't want to remember, remember? We sat over there, and we sat like this, and we walked together until the third day, and you spoke a few more words to me. ”

Three years ago, Xin Chen went to her uncle's house for dinner on the weekend, and listened to Xin Di talk about Lu Fei calling her, and she would go back to the city for a few days on Monday, and the uncle and aunt were very happy, and she only lowered her head to eat, and hurriedly said goodbye and went home after eating, sat blankly for a while, and opened the computer to log in to an outdoor forum that she often attends.

She had no purpose at all, she just planned to leave the city, and the first post she clicked on casually was that there was an outdoor club in Xi'an to recruit travelers to do the east-west reloading of Taibai Mountain in the Qinling Mountains.

The next day, she called the director of the unit where she went to work to resign from her job, went out to buy tickets and things to bring, and went to her uncle's house in the evening, saying that she would resign and prepare to travel to Xi'an immediately. The aunt's face sank, and the uncle said angrily: "Xiaochen, you have only been in class for less than a month. ”

"I'm sorry, uncle." Xin Chen can completely ignore the displeasure of the aunt, but for the uncle, she always feels guilty, otherwise she will not accept the work arranged by him, but she still overestimates her endurance.

Although she came back from looking for a job in other places, she decided to listen to her uncle's words and live a good life, but she was so bored in this class that she just wanted to escape, and Lu Fei was going back to the city, her determination just now collapsed in an instant, and there were more reasons to escape.

Li Xin said unhappily: "Xiaochen, your job was arranged by your eldest Bert Tuo, it is leisurely, and the benefits are good, how many students who graduated from famous schools want to enter have been blocked, how can you be so rash?" ”

She was speechless, she could only bow her head and remain silent, Xin Di had just come back from work, playing a round game: "Let Tatsuko do what she wants to do." ”

"But what exactly do you want to do? Could it be to go to Xi'an with your boyfriend? Li Xin inferred unceremoniously.

Xin Chen does have a boyfriend in college, who is from the northwest, Xin Kaiming once went to school to see the boy, and he had a good impression of him, but a few months before graduation, Xin Chen insisted on going to the field alone to find a job, the two had broken up unhappily, she was in no mood to explain, and knew that an explanation would probably inevitably attract a lesson like "girls should be self-respecting, this is the first boyfriend you broke up", so she just hung her head and said nothing.

Xin Kaiming was originally annoyed, but seeing that she was unusually silent, his heart softened, "Xiao Chen, you are also so old, you can't just think about playing, you should always settle down and work hard." ”

She only whispered: "I'm willful this last time, uncle, I promise, I will work hard when I come back." ”

However, that waywardness nearly cost her and Bruce their lives. Bruce is used to taking risks and sees it as a rare life experience, but she doesn't see it that way.

Not far away, a traveler shouted for them to go, Xin Chen jumped up, bowed his head and smiled at Bruce, "It's not good to be immersed in memories all the time. ”

"But you're just immersed in memories." Bruce's voice was unhurried, "Not about my memories, of course. ”

Xin Chen's body stiffened, and then he smiled bitterly, "Hey, let's not talk about this." ”

She strapped her backpack and picked up her trekking poles and set off. Bruce could only shake his head and follow, unsure if he had been too reckless. Just like three years ago, the slender figure in front of him has a straight back, and his gait is different from the usual lazy when hiking, and his steps are even and steady.

After the end of the mountain, as usual, she found a place for everyone to have dinner, but Xin Chen said that there was still something to do, and when the car returned to the city, she took a taxi directly to Xin Di's house.

"Why are you here?" Xin Di opened the door for Xin Chen and complained.

"I didn't even attend their dinner, so I just came over." Xin Chen threw his backpack to the entrance, covered his mouth and yawned, kicked off his hiking shoes, and walked in on the floor with socks on, "I'm so tired, why don't we go wash our feet and massage." ”

"I can't understand your masochistic spirit, why bother to tire yourself like this. Not tonight, I'll go out later. ”

Xin Chen looked her up and down with a smile, "I said how to dress up so beautifully today, it turned out that I had a date." ”

The rules of dressing have always taught petite girls not to wear clothes with complicated colors and patterns, but Xin Di obviously ignored this, she wore a dark green pleated long shirt with a dark gold belt, and the hem was tied up at a corner, revealing a short red skirt that was only slightly longer than the shirt, which looked pleasing and conspicuous.

"David asked me to go to the concert."

Xin Chen whistled with a smile, "Is he pursuing you?" ”

Xin Di shrugged, "It seems to be, although I don't know why." ”

"All he can say is that he finally did one thing right." Xin Chen smiled, sat on the sofa and stretched his hands and feet, "Okay, if you have anything to say to me, I'll listen to it." ”

Xin Di sat beside her, glared at her, and picked up the makeup mirror and stucco on the coffee table, "Do you have an addiction to talking to people?" It's to tell you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to buy a house, you can live here with me, for as long as you want, it's boring for me to live alone. ”

Xin Chen reached out and grabbed her shoulder, "Dizi, I know you're the best." After the house is demolished, I may put the computer and some materials on your side, and dispose of all the other things that can be sold, and then go to Kunming and Lijiang to live for a while, and then go to Europe next year to see which city has more job opportunities, and go to work honestly to earn money. If you come back to the local area, of course thank you for taking me in without having to stay in a hotel. ”

"Hey, you smell of sweat." Xin Di honestly and unceremoniously pushed her away, and she laughed.

"Is that all? Then I'll go back to the shower. ”

"You sit honestly for me."

Xin Di dropped the makeup mirror and hesitated, but he didn't know where to start. Xin Chen looked back at her, the two looked at each other, the corners of Xin Chen's mouth moved slightly, obviously understanding what she wanted to say, but he just smiled and didn't say anything. Xin Di suddenly couldn't stand her nonchalant expression, pulled down her face and said, "Don't use me as a passerby to perfunctory, do you really want to leave here forever?" ”

Xin Chen restrained his smile, leaned back on the sofa, and said tiredly: "Dizi, I just want to go out for a walk." ”

"Do you want to keep going around and never come back?"

"It depends on the situation, if you meet someone you like or a place you like, you can stay; If you think it's good to come back, I'll come back, I don't reject this city, except for the weather that I hate a little, everything else is fine. ”

Xin Chen said calmly, Xin Di admitted that this lifestyle was at least attractive to her, but she couldn't help but say the words that had been pressing in her heart for the past few days, "Lu Fei said that he wanted to pursue you." ”

"Don't be funny, doesn't he have a girlfriend? Uncle went to Beijing on a business trip in April this year, and when he came back, he said that they were planning to get married, and you heard that. Xin Chen said lazily, "With his moral constraints on himself, he won't do such a thing as stepping on two boats." ”

Xin Di went to Beijing to watch Fashion Week more than two years ago, and had a hurried meeting with Lu Fei and his girlfriend, and he had the impression of a beautiful woman, "They have broken up." ”

Xin Chen's expression was a little surprised, he looked at her thoughtfully, and then spread his hands, "It's a pity, let him mourn and change." There is grass everywhere in the world, and he will meet the right girl again, but I don't plan to be his alternate. ”

"Do you hate him for not contacting you for so long?"

Xin Chen was silent.

In fact, Lu Fei still came to say goodbye to her when he left, even though they hadn't been in touch for two months before that. He handed her a folded letterhead, "Xiaochen, I applied for an email address for you, and we will keep in touch." ”

She thought that she had already convinced herself to accept the reality, but at that moment she suddenly became furious, took the letterhead and didn't look at it, tore it a few times and threw it away, through the scraps of paper that fell between them, she said coldly: "Are you all so keen to leave an address and email address for me?" I don't want to, I just walk clean and thoroughly, and I don't have to report to me a little bit about the weather over there, I met new classmates and other nonsense. ”

Lu Fei, who was standing in front of her, turned pale, "You have to be reasonable, Xiao Chen." ”

"I've never been unreasonable, thank you for not wasting any more time reasoning with me."

Looking at the pain in Lu Fei's eyes, she also hurt, but this pain rushed into her chest, making her just want to vent it in the most intense way. It is only with a little bit of girlhood that she can express her anger so brutally, like a wild cat, stretching out her claws unscrupulously and hurting those who are willing to let her hurt.

If she didn't want to contact someone anymore, she would probably politely take the letterhead and throw it away when she turned away. Thinking of this, she smiled slightly.

"Not only after returning to China, I haven't been in touch with him for seven years, all the news about him comes from you and uncle: he went to UC Berkeley Business School, his sister got married, he graduated, he returned to China, he worked in Beijing, he was coming back for vacation, he had a girlfriend, he was getting married...... In this way, there are a lot of things that have happened in the past seven years. The smile on Xin Chen's face deepened, "Dizi, what would you think of these bits and pieces of news?" ”

Xin Di thought about it seriously, and could only shake his head frankly, "No idea." ”

"yes, I don't have any ideas. Hearing that he was now celibate and favored me, I couldn't jump for joy as if I had won. ”

"You used to like him, didn't you?"

Xin Chen said lightly: "Dizi, did the three of us go to the same school before, I don't need to say that you know, about half of the school's little girls have a crush on him, I admit that I like him and I am not ashamed." ”

Xin Di was speechless for a while, Xin Chen took the powder brush in her hand, half-knelt on the sofa, carefully swept the powder on her face for her, then picked up the eyeshadow box, looked at her clothes, chose a little light golden brown color, and began to put on eyeshadow for her.

When Xin Chen first worked, she was working in a photography studio as a post-production studio, where everyone wore multiple hats, and she was no exception to serve as a model and makeup, and practiced a rather professional makeup technique.

"Isn't it good to have a chance to fulfill your girlhood dream?" Xin Di asked suddenly.

Xin Chen stopped her hand, Xin Di opened her eyes and saw that she was twisting her face, she seemed to be shaking with laughter, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Hey, this is a little sour, but it's also the truth, don't laugh at me like that." ”

"I'm sorry Dizi, I wasn't laughing at you." Xin Chen bit her lip, as if she was smiling hard, and then motioned for her to close her eyes and continue to put on her eyeshadow, "Just as I liked him, he probably liked me too, according to you, I was still quite fond of boys at that time." But that little bit of liking is really fragile and can't stand it, and I don't need to repeat your words, I'm not the same person I used to be. ”

Xin Di opened her eyes suddenly, Xin Chen in front of her still had a little smile on her face, but the two were so close, Xin Di saw that her eyes were deep and dim, and that look was obviously unhappy, as if she suddenly had no strength to let herself pretend to be careless.

Xin Chen stepped back under her forced gaze, sat down on his lap curled up on the sofa, and smiled slightly wryly.

"My evaluation of you is purely a little perverted personal aesthetic taste from my design career, and you are still a beauty."

Xin Chen was really amused now, "You are really kind, Dizi." No, I know, when I was headstrong in previous years, it was probably a bit of a strange attraction. Now, since you choose to be a reasonable and good person, you can only sacrifice your personal charm. ”

Xin Di heard this for the first time, and looked carefully at the cousin in front of him again, Xin Chen completely regained his composure, calmly accepted her scrutiny, and did not dodge at all, "What's wrong, Chenzi?" I'm probably a bit of an idiot in life, but I know that if nothing had changed, you wouldn't have changed so completely. Did Luphi hurt you? If yes, I will never forgive him. ”

"No, no, no, he's always ...... Self-discipline, alas, probably only I hurt him, so I wonder how he would still pursue me, he is a good boy like you, and he will inevitably like a bad boy who is a little willful and not out of line. She smiled briefly, "But unfortunately, once a person grows up, he can't be as arrogant as before, I can't satisfy his taste, let's not talk about him, okay?" ”

Xin Di was a little distracted for a while, she looked up at the ceiling, and after a while said, "Tatsuko, I don't know what happened between you. But it's rare to have a relationship that can last from youth to the present, if it's not a matter of principle, it's better to give him and yourself a chance. ”

"Nothing can last forever, probably everyone will be a little naïve when they are young, but it will be a joke to be naïve all the time."

"Am I naïve enough to be a joke? I always feel that the feelings when I was young were more sincere, dragged to me like this, someone pursued, but I couldn't be easily moved, thinking of dating, I just hope that it will be interesting and not boring, otherwise it is better to draw a design at home. ”

"I didn't mean that, I just said that it was better for my childish desire to stay in the child's time. Trust me, dating is the best way to kill boredom, and dating Davivan certainly won't be boring. ”

Xin Di's cell phone rang, and she answered listlessly, "Well, okay, I'll get down right away." Putting down her phone, she sat still.

Xin Chen smiled helplessly, sat up, and patted her hand, "Get the flute, go play, have fun, don't let my words affect your dating mood." She picked up her makeup tools again, quickly applied mascara, brushed her lip gloss with a lip brush, and then plopped on loose powder to set her makeup, tilting her head in satisfaction, "Okay." ”

"Where is the little uncle coming back, there is only one bedroom left after you get through."

"I have a sleeping bag that I can sleep in the living room. And my dad went to meet friends after dinner yesterday and didn't come home at all. ”

"You can sleep with me today, it's better than sleeping in a sleeping bag. You go to the cabinet to find the right clothes, hurry up and take a bubble bath, apply a good mask, don't rely on your good looks, and don't take care of it at all. There is food in the fridge, do it yourself when you are hungry. ”

Xin Di picked up the retro-style small backpack on the coffee table, took a step and stopped, looking back at Xin Chen, "As long as you're happy, Tatsuko." ”

"Nothing else is easy, but fortunately, it's not difficult to find some fun." Xin Chen smiled.

Dai Weifan was already standing by the car waiting, and while pulling the door for Xin Di, he praised him from the bottom of his heart: "You are very beautiful today, Xin Di." ”

"Thank you."

Dai Weifan started the car and drove out of the yard, drove out of the city along the main road and drove onto the outer ring road, driving to the sports center on the outskirts of the city.

"Why don't you seem to be happy?"

Xin Di said wistfully: "I'm sorry, it's not for you, I just remembered some things, and suddenly I felt bored." ”

David didn't care, "Of course, everything can't be interesting, otherwise we wouldn't have to try our best to make ourselves happy." ”

"How do you usually coax yourself?"

"I'm easier to coax, and I don't get along with myself."

Xin Di snorted, "I'll ask you more, you probably haven't been unhappy at all, right?" ”

"If I can live to be happy forever and live to the age of 30, I have to boast of my talent. Last night, you used me as a shield to show Lu Fei, and I was very unhappy. ”

Xin Di laughed, "Don't worry, I won't force you, at most I will find someone else to make up for it next time." ”

"So you still have a spare tire."

Xin Di said honestly and unceremoniously: "Of course, if he hadn't gone to the Everest base camp with convulsions, which round would have gotten you." ”

She told the truth, she had a tacit understanding with Ah Feng, and she had also helped him resist the interrogation of his family, if he was there, she would definitely call him over, and she would never make an appointment with Dai Weifan.

Dai Weifan didn't believe it at all, he felt that Xin Di was not the kind of girl who had a ready-made boyfriend, but she would almost sleep with him, but he didn't plan to say it, he just laughed, "Come on, I thank you and thank him for giving me this opportunity, so that he can have fun over there and don't have to rush back." Is it okay to just make one opinion? When you are a shield, you have to be famous, I hope you can tell Lu Fei directly next time, I am your boyfriend, so you don't need to be so vague. ”

Xin Di also smiled, "Hey, do you really want to pursue me?" ”

"Why don't we try to be together? I think I'll be happy. ”

Xin Di looked sideways at him, the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the front windshield on his face, which was plated with a little pale gold on the side with a straight nose bridge, thick black eyebrows, and a little smile on the corner of his mouth, handsome impeccably. She can only admit that it is indeed pleasing to the eye, not to mention anything else, it should be a happy thing to simply face such a face. But falling in love with him just for this reason seems a bit too much.

She didn't answer his words, and picked up the concert tickets on the dashboard to see, she was really shocked, the two infield tickets were not very high, but the prices were more than 1,000 yuan, "Ha, grab money, I watched Eason Chan's concert at the Hong Kong Red Pavilion last year, and the highest ticket price was only more than 400 Hong Kong dollars." ”

"The performance market in the mainland is like this, there are relatively few big-name singers, and the performers monopolize the market, under the pretext that the cost of performances is high, and the ticket prices are unusually high, but there are always people who are chasing after them, and there is no way." David is in the advertising industry, so he naturally understands the inside story of this kind of commercial performance.

The car got off the outer ring road and drove into the avenue leading to the sports center, and the sky was getting dark, and the number of vehicles suddenly increased, apparently all going to the concert. Police are directing traffic along the road, and the road in front of the sports center has begun to jam traffic.

Davifan's car slowly moved with the car in front of him, and finally drove into the parking lot of the sports center. They parked their cars and got down, and there were excited spectators everywhere, and small vendors selling binoculars and gadgets shuttled back and forth, and the relaxed and lively atmosphere unconsciously infected Xin Di. David Fan bought a childish glow stick and handed it to her, and she smiled and waved it.

The two followed the flow of people into the venue, and the concert was strictly gated, and ticket holders had to go through three checkpoint scanning and security checks before entering the infield. Finally sat down in the seat, the sky was completely dark, the stage in front of me is composed of the main stage, the extension stage, the side stage and the lifting stage, the back of the main stage on both sides of the hanging oversized LED screens, there are also large projection screens around, it looks gorgeous and open, it is indeed as advertised in the newspaper to spend a lot of money to build.

Dai Weifan looked at the ticket in his hand that had been tested by the scanner, and suddenly smiled, "I remember ten years ago, when I was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, an outdated Hong Kong group came to the gymnasium for a concert, and we only pooled money to buy one ticket, but there were probably more than 100 people who entered the venue. ”

"Oh, no, I went that time, too." Xin Di couldn't help but laugh.

The art academy where the two of them studied has always had a bad reputation in the local area, and in addition to their strange dresses and loose behaviors, students are also famous for being able to imitate everything, from concert tickets, park tickets, zoo tickets, movie tickets, monthly bus tickets to canteen meal tickets, all hand-drawn and vivid.

The buses along the Academy of Fine Arts were deeply troubled, and the conductor would focus on precautions when they saw the students coming up at this station, and took the monthly pass and looked at it again and again, and the more innocent the students who were examined, the more likely they were to use the hand-painted version of the monthly pass. Sometimes the conductor will be angry, "Hey, don't say it, this ticket is much more delicately painted than our company." The bus was full of laughter.

Xin Di had never used an imitation monthly ticket, but she was surprisingly bold, she was only a freshman, and when she heard the call to take fake tickets to the concert, she immediately responded, took back three tickets, and asked Lu Fei and Xin Chen to go together. Xin Chen was naturally happy, Lu Fei hesitated, looked at Xin Chen, who was excited, and promised to bring her over when the time came.

Xin Di, you're really dull. When she thought about it now, she couldn't help but laugh. Of course, Lu Fei has been a violin since elementary school, and he loves classical music, how could he disdain listening to that kind of concert, if it wasn't for making Xin Chen happy, he wouldn't have gotten there.

It was a weekend in winter, Lu Fei brought Xin Chen over, the three of them met in the gymnasium, Xin Di took the tickets, swaggered them in, and then kept chatting and laughing with the classmates around him. Lu Fei couldn't help but wonder a little, "Xiaodi, your classmates are very generous, so many people came to see the concert." ”

Xin Di smiled mysteriously, confessed that the ticket was an imitation, Lu Fei was taken aback, and couldn't help shaking his head, "You guys are really ......" He didn't criticize, he could see that Xin Chen's eyes were shining, he just thought it was interesting, and Xin Di didn't care about criticism at all, so he had to smile and let himself not spoil the scenery.

Xin Di really didn't have any psychological burden about this, and since then, she has more than once used imitation admission tickets to various exhibitions.

Her over-energetic classmates put on an assembly line posture every time, found the right material, and one person was responsible for a process, carefully copying all kinds of meaningless and worthless bills, all without guilt. Most of the students in the Academy of Fine Arts come from good backgrounds, and in Xin Di's opinion, the enthusiasm and dedication they have paid have long exceeded the face value, and perhaps everyone sees it more as a challenge to order, a collective prank and carnival.

Thinking of such an interesting past, Xin Di turned around, looked at David and smiled.

As the low-altitude fireworks rose, Jacky Cheung, dressed in a golden coat, appeared, and the sports center that can accommodate 40,000 people instantly boiled. Although the year is not confused, the strength of the god of song is obvious to all, four energetic songs and dances, and the atmosphere of the scene has set off a small *.

While listening to the song, Xin Di paid attention to the stage design and the actors' costumes, which was her occupational disease. Many of the audience in front of her had already stood up excitedly, she was small, and her vision was naturally blocked, and she couldn't think about it.

The audience in the back first shouted "sit down in front", but there was not much response under the repeated shouting, the high temperature of summer and the fiery temper attack of the locals, not far from their seats, there were actually two audience members scuffling, and then the people around also joined the battle group, and the audience area was suddenly chaotic.

Dai Weifan was born in track and field, and his movements were very agile, and before Xin Di could react, he had already blocked a flying mineral water bottle with one hand, picked her up with the other hand, stepped over the seat that fell to the ground in a few steps, and retreated to the isolation pier, and then put her down.

Xin Di looked at the dark and chaotic audience area in horror, "This can also be a fight." ”

"Don't worry, the security is tight today, and we'll clean them up in a while." David Fan watched the fight scene with great interest, and seemed to think it was more interesting than the singer on the stage.

Sure enough, a team of public security and security guards immediately rushed in, neatly subdued several people who were fighting vigorously, and lifted up the seats, and the order of this small audience area was quickly restored, but the spectators who returned to their places and the people who poured in from the outfield took advantage of the chaos to occupy the seats.

Dai Weifan shook his head with a smile, seeing Xin Di standing on tiptoe and starting to sing a fragment of "Snow Wolf Lake" in the stands, Jacky Cheung, who was dressed in exquisite costume for this accompanying dance, she must have wanted to see it, he suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up and put her on a high isolation pier to sit. Xin Di was so frightened that he grabbed his shoulder tightly with his hand, afraid of slipping down, but immediately found that he could see much more clearly than the seat just now, and his eyes were unobstructed on the stage, and he couldn't help but be very excited.

David Van stood beside her, one hand around her waist, supporting her with her body, her hands around his shoulders, leaning on him. Xin Di didn't dare to bow his head, so he could only keep looking ahead. The audience was singing familiar songs one after another, and in such a warm atmosphere, it seemed that there was no ambiguity, but the bodies of the two fit together, and the postures were really intimate.

After singing a fast song, Jacky Cheung stopped and stood on the stage, through the LED, you can clearly see the sweat on the forehead of this forty-year-old man, and then he began to sing "She Came to Listen to My Concert":

.. ……

.. I sang to her heart's content

.. I sang to her heartbreak

.. She struggled not to make herself look tired

.. The years are listening to us sing, no complaints, no regrets

.. Singing in applause until he shed tears

.. Hey......

Xin Di was never a fan of Jacky Cheung before, but at this time, the audience was quiet, no one sang frantically, no one waved light sticks, only this song floated in the sports center, all the audience listened attentively, and she was deeply touched.

Such a highly refined emotional journey, the perception and tacit understanding of the singer and the audience growing together, all seem to be integrated into this song, a song, applause is like thunder, fireworks behind the stage soar into the sky, arousing the audience to cheer in unison.

Xin Di retracted his gaze and found that David Fan was staring at her with a smile, as if he had said something, but in such a noisy noise, where could he hear it clearly. She was just about to lean down, but he suddenly hugged her down, leaned into her ear and repeated: "We also listened to the concert together ten years ago, although it was with a hundred other classmates, I hope that from now on, there will always be opportunities to accompany you to the concert." ”

His lips touched her ears, and the breath blew hot in her ears, causing a little tingling sensation that spread. He put her back on the segregation pier, still smiling at her, the spotlight sweeping across the room, his upturned face radiant.

Xin Di was a little dizzy for a moment, she thought, is this the legendary flirtation? It's up to him to do it, it's really exciting, and he can make his old heart beat like a spring girl in an instant.

She looked at the stage again, it was time to return, Jacky Cheung, who had changed his clothes, returned to the stage and began to sing songs with a high degree of popularity, and the audience of 40,000 sang in unison, and the atmosphere was blazing to the peak. When the song finally ended, the fireworks rose, and the stage lights and shadows fell silent, Xin Di jumped off with Dai Weifan's shoulder, Dai Weifan protected her with one hand, and the two slowly walked out with the flow of people.

Cars moved out of the parking lot of the sports center at a turtle speed and drove onto the main road, and the traffic finally cleared. Dai Weifan opened the window, rested on the window with one hand, held the steering wheel with the other, the wind blowing in the middle of the summer night, Xin Di leaned on the back of the car seat, his head turned out of the window, I don't know if it was because of the excited applause for three and a half hours, or the physical contact and verbal teasing that caused the heart to beat faster, he actually felt a little tired, and for a while all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart one by one.

"Let's go spend the night." After entering the city, Davifan spoke.

Xin Di turned around, a little dazed at first, then smiled and nodded. She didn't want to eat anything, but she was glad that Davifan's opening had disrupted the slightly magical atmosphere just now. In this way, he didn't deliberately make the mood more ambiguous, and she could breathe a sigh of relief.
