Chapter 35: The Awkward Feast
Yang Zige saw that Ah Chen was indulgent, and Tang Xi was also indulgent, knowing that he had to be sober, so he only drank tea and occasionally persuaded them. Tang Xi drank so much that his face was already flushed after a while, and Ah Chen seemed to realize that the atmosphere was not right, and he couldn't go on like this, so he tentatively called his name.
"He's drunk." Yang Zige said, "Okay, Mengyun, don't drink it anymore, I'll carry him back." He bypassed Ah Chen, and as soon as his hand touched Tang Xi, he was pushed away, and he smiled bitterly: "Your senior brother is really fierce." ”
Tang Xi glanced at him coldly: "Do you like Chen Mengyun?" ”
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere was suddenly awkward, Yang Zige was stunned, blushing but didn't know how to answer, but heard Ah Chen say: "Brother Tang Xi is thinking too much?" He's my master, you think too much. ”
"What about the master? Can't the master like the apprentice? He asked rhetorically, his eyes glazed over.
"I ......" Ah Chen was stunned.
"I just like her, what do you do with me? I just love my apprentice! He slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and walked out of the restaurant without looking back, leaving Ah Chen, who was at a loss, and a wine glass that fell to the ground.
The scorching sun in August was scorching, Tang Xi felt a little dizzy, what did he just say? Did he tell Ah Chen who he liked? Tang Xi held his forehead with his hand, and the noisy street finally submerged above the water level and returned to calm.
He seemed to be in tears.
Ah Chen returned to the inn with Yang Zige's support, she raised her hand and wanted to knock on Niantong's door, but was stopped by Yang Zige. She was a little messy in her heart, her good friend Nian Tong, her favorite person Tang Xi, they ......
The door was suddenly opened, and when Nian Tong saw Ah Chen, he was stunned at first, and randomly pulled out a smile: "Are you back?" ”
Ah Chen nodded in agreement, this is her best friend.
"She drank too much, so I helped her to rest first." Yang Zige said.
"No, master." Ah Chen vigorously broke away from Yang Zige's arm, "Xiao Nian and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have something to talk about." You go and rest first. Xiao Nian, how is it? ”
"If you want, that's fine." Nian Tong pulled Ah Chen and saw that she had something in her heart, she wanted to vent herself, and she categorically would not refuse.
Niantong poured a pot of tea for him, but she didn't drink it, and after a long time, she asked, "Xiao Nian, do you have anyone you like?" ”
This question again, she rolled her eyes: "Where do you think of it, Yi Yang and I are just sisters and brothers, don't misunderstand." I don't even have a man around. ”
"Tang Xi..."
"Oh. Oh, he's a man, too. Nian Tong nodded, "So what?" He came in with a very strange temperament, and I didn't know what was going on in my heart, and I was very annoyed...... Speaking of him, why didn't he come back with you? ”
She doesn't lie to herself... Ah Chen thought that she didn't know that Tang Xi liked her, so she paused, but finally didn't say anything, just said that she didn't know where he went. Seeing that Niantong's expression didn't have much turmoil, he excused himself for dizziness and went back to rest first.
Nian Tong felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
On the second day, as soon as Ah Chen woke up, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, saying that there was a son waiting for her in the west of the city, and she knew that it must be Tang Xi, so she hurried out. But her heart is indeed getting heavier and heavier, how do you want her to face him? Is it as if nothing happened? She couldn't do it, she admired him for so many years, and he wouldn't feel nothing. But after so many years, how could she be willing to give up easily? But she seems to feel that he really likes Niantong, and his stubborn and free temperament has now become a little concerned and fettered. The smile on his face doesn't seem to be as good as before.
"Ah Chen." She heard someone calling for her.
She turned her head and looked at Tang Xi without speaking. She didn't know what she was supposed to say.
"Yesterday I lost my words after drinking, you... Don't tell her. ”
"It's drunk and spitting out the truth, right?" She asked rhetorically, looking at his stunned face, and knew that she must have guessed correctly. He really liked Nian Tong, and he liked it very much, "But, Brother Tang Xi, she doesn't like you at all." I have been separated from you for three years, but I have always been the only one in my heart, are you serious, and you can't see half a cent? Tears welled up in her eyes, she was young at that time, and her whole heart was on him since he stood up to speak for herself, and was willing to copy books with her. First, Yu Ruoyan's visit to Xuan exchanged letters with him, but fortunately he didn't like her. Later, she thought that by letting Niantong be his apprentice, she would have a reason to pester him, and she could not be restricted by the restrictions between master and apprentice. But she never expected that he would finally fall in love with his apprentice, her best friend.
"Ah Chen, I'm her master..."Tang Xi looked a little incoherent, "I'll leave." I don't want this kind of feeling myself, and Yi Yang is also by her side. ”
"Do you remember who you used to be?" Ah Chen sniffed and sneered, "How open-minded, optimistic, uninhibited, and free and easy was Tang Xi in the past? What now? For the sake of a person who can't be loved, you have become like this, do you think that Niantong will like you? ”
