Chapter 18: Blizzard

This is like a dream, Xiao Yin has really become a star-studded star in the blink of an eye, a person who is no longer ordinary. As a top student of Tsinghua University, he has finally become what he should become, built his own career, realized his ideals, money and reputation are all around him, and he who no one wanted to approach before is now being chased by countless people. Those classmates who were still gloating over his decline are now completely different.

"It's really a blessing for us to have a classmate like Xiao Yin."

"Which of you has Xiao Yin's contact information? I haven't been able to turn around lately, so I want to borrow some money from him, and he should lend it to me for the sake of his classmates. ”

"Oops! Look at my current husband, if only he could have one percent of Xiao Yin's, if he wants money or not, if he has no ability, hey, why didn't Xiao Yin pursue me at that time? ”

The world is sometimes far more interesting than we think, and praise and denigration are sometimes just a matter of thought.

Even Zheng Xin, who has been abroad for many years, did not give up the opportunity to chase this time, she called me across the ocean with her sweet voice, reminisced with me very kindly, and then told me that she was not doing well abroad, and wanted me to tell her Xiao Yin's number. also said that she has always had Xiao Yin's place in her heart, after all, the two of them have been together, Xiao Yin is soaring today, and she wants to call to congratulate her in person.

I don't need to say this kind of thing explicitly, I know her mind, I didn't tell her Xiao Yin's phone number as a matter of course, first, I think her words are very false and pretentious, because she hasn't contacted me for more than ten years, and this sudden phone call makes people very uncomfortable. In addition, I really don't know Xiao Yin's phone now, the number that Xiao Yin called me before going to Yunnan became an empty number after we returned, and he hasn't called me again in the past five years, I can understand the reason for this, after all, both of us have been planted with Gu, maybe Xiao Yin is afraid that I will accidentally say these things and cause the poison of "Speechless Gu", or maybe he himself is also suffering from "Orchid Gu".

And now we don't seem to have any reason to contact anymore, because times are different. Now he is not the same person as me for a long time, he is a big entrepreneur, an elite of this era, and a person I can't climb.

However, he will still be secretly happy for him, because since he has been safe and sound for the past five years, it means that he has maintained his character. This is more worthy of celebration than the fame and wealth outside of the body.

I thought that my fate with Xiao Yin should end here, although the five-year period stipulated by Wordless Gu has long passed, but I am not ready to share this story with others, and now my friends can see this story only because a series of unbelievable things happened after that, which makes people unhappy.

The story still starts that winter. Just a month after Xiao Yin acquired all the mobile phone businesses in the country, something unexpected happened.

It was snowing heavily early that morning, mixed with hail like bullets. In the air of minus 20 degrees Celsius, countless water vapors condensed into ice crystals of different shapes, hitting people's enthusiasm for life. Yuge and I nestled in the teahouse, listening to the cry of the north wind outside the window, and I felt my whole heart tremble. By noon, the blizzard had become more and more violent, and the windows were covered with ice flakes, and the occasional poor pedestrian walked by the side of the road, faintly seeing their faces that were about to crack with ice.

The cold air entered the house through the pores of the windows more frequently, so that Yuge and I needed to turn on the air conditioner to the maximum and wrap the down jacket tighter. Looking at the white world outside the window, I felt as if I had been thrown into the snow-white field, looking along the frozen horizon, the sky was vast and chaotic, and I could only see white diagonal lines formed by falling snow in all directions. My eyes searched for something different, but I couldn't find it, the world was pale and there was no more vivid color.

In this illusory wilderness, the wind blows everything in one direction. …… Right, left, top, bottom. Everywhere there were white, gray wreckage. My eyes tried to find something fresh, but they couldn't: not a single signpost, not a pile of hay, not a single fence, nothing to see, a patch of snow everywhere. …… The wind seems to be starting to change direction; After a while, it blew in the face, and the snowflakes covered the eyes; For a moment he blew his hair onto my head in disgust from the side, and mockingly stroked my face with it; A moment later, it was slicing my body from behind like an ice blade.

I advise Yuge not to stick here anymore, in such weather, only mentally ill people will come out to drink tea. In such weather, you should go home comfortably covered with a quilt and snuggled up on the sofa to watch TV. Yu Ge always said, "Wait, wait, maybe someone is coming, if someone wants to buy tea and finds that we are closed, how bad is it." ”

With a little resentment, I stayed with Yuge until the afternoon, watching the snow fall more and more, and the air conditioning in the tea room couldn't stop the biting cold. This made her a little shaken, and after doing ideological work repeatedly, we finally reached a consensus, and simply packed up and prepared to leave.

At that moment, there was a steady and powerful roar outside the store, the sound of a luxury car only. I looked out through the glass, and the double R emblem stood out in the snow.

I was still a little hesitant, wondering why the car was parked here, and people who could afford it would not come to a small shop like mine for tea. But this Rolls-Royce kept parked there with the fire on, and there was no intention of leaving, so I had to wrap up my clothes and go out to check.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes getting out of the car, and I couldn't see his face clearly because of the snowflakes, but the feeling of the contour of his body made me feel familiar.

"Xiao Li, you send the things I brought to my mother first, then have a meal with her, and come back to pick me up in the evening, and then we will rush back to Beijing overnight." The man said softly to the driver, rich people are different, and even the voice has a unique maturity and confidence. Even in the wind and snow, I can still hear it clearly.

"Cousin? It's hard for you to go home, don't you have a meal with your aunt? The driver rolled down the window and looked at the man helplessly.

"No, I have more important things to do, so let's go." The man closed the door slightly, then turned around and said nothing, the driver shook his head helplessly, and drove the car back to the road with one foot on the accelerator.

The man turned to me and finally let me see his face, but I was a little disappointed, because I never seemed to have seen this face, because it was a face that did not belong to my circle of life, it was a face that only an actor would have, delicate and steady. The suit on his body looks restrained but does not lose its connotation, it is not that a luxury brand will not have such workmanship. The slightly parted hairstyle just made the handsome face shine, and the red scarf on the chest gave the most vivid color to the white world.

His complexion was as white as marble, and he looked more radiant and sublime in this snowy season. The black pupils, which are as clear and dazzling as obsidian, shine with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, and hide their sharp eyes under the seemingly calm eye waves, matched with a handsome face that is upright and strong, with a deep contour like a carving.

"Liu Quan, long time no see." The man greeted me warmly, and then walked straight to the tearoom.

I hurriedly closed the door and followed. "Boss, do we know each other?"

"You're kidding me, aren't you?" The man laughed softly. "It's so cold, why don't you pour me a cup of tea?"

Yu Ge hurriedly put the tea set over, and then handed the man a page of the menu, and talked to the man enthusiastically. "Boss, we have tea at various prices here, which one do you want to go to?"

"Is this the business all the bosses of Willow Springs doing this? Old friends still have to charge money when they come to drink tea? "The man still has that touching smile, which makes people feel warm when they see it." Hey, I'm still watching the store with him in such a cold weather, it seems that you must be his girlfriend, tell me what kind of conspiracy did this guy Liu Quan use to trick a big beauty like you into being his girlfriend? ”

Yu Ge was immediately amused by the man, and burst out laughing. "You really have a sense of humor, boss? Who taught you to be so talkative. ”

Seeing this man talking and laughing calmly, the doubts in my heart became stronger, and I thought to myself, this can't be a liar who came to cheat on tea, right? But in a blink of an eye, I dispelled this idea, people drove luxury cars that were several times more expensive than my entire tea shop, and wore such expensive and luxurious clothes, how could they be liars?

"Boss, I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory, I really can't remember who you are?" I don't dare to say it too much, for fear that if this person is really a money owner who has done business before, he really can't afford to offend. "You give me some hints so that I can reminisce about my memories."

The man pointed at me helplessly. "You guy, forgot we went to play games together?"

"Playing games?" I laughed awkwardly too. "There are so many people playing this game."

"Forgot we went to Yunnan together?" There was a hint of sly sly in the man's smile. "Forgot to hang out with that beautiful woman at the bar? Brother, why don't you understand? Let my sister teach you. ”

This man really had a ghost in his heart, and his words directly angered Yu Ge. "What! Liu Quan: You've done this kind of thing. ”

"Hahaha." The man gloated. "Beauty, don't worry, I'm joking, how could such a simple person as Liu Quan do such a thing, I just said it casually because he always pretended not to know me."

Going to Yunnan together, and lingering with beautiful women in bars, these are things that have only happened once in my life, and it is a long time ago.

"Xiao Yin!"

The man smiled with satisfaction. "Finally remembered my name."

I never expected that the man in the suit and leather shoes in front of me was Xiao Yin, to be honest, this was really far beyond my expectations, and he had been broadcasting his news on the Internet during this time, but I just browsed it in general and didn't really see his photos. Many people are praising him, saying that he has a star face, and I didn't believe it at first, but today I saw that it was really as described by the rumors.

This is what makes me feel strange, I recall carefully, although I haven't seen him for more than five years, I can still get a few rough examples of Xiao Yin's appearance at that time, at that time it was Xiao Yin's lowest period, bloated and sloppy. The current man is the same height as Xiao Yin, but he looks much slimmer and straighter, which I can understand, because five years is enough time for a fat man to lose weight. But the drastic change in his appearance really puzzled me, this is almost another face, the previous Xiao Yin is not a star face, so it is estimated that he can be at the bottom of the school.

What makes me even more strange is the change in Xiao Yin's personality, although it is only a few short conversations, I can already clearly and clearly feel that his whole habits have changed. It was impossible for Xiao Yin to cut off his long hair before, but now he has replaced it with a capable parted head; In the past, Xiao Yin was uncomfortable talking to people, stiff and wooden, but now he has become lively and witty, and the conversation with Yu Ge just now can be said to be a level that can only be achieved by a good debater.

What has happened in the past five years? What did this orchid Gu bring him?

This is no longer a simple personal growth, this is similar to him five years ago, and it can even be expressed as a rebirth.

"Xiao Yin! You've changed too much. What has happened to you in the last five years? Why don't you have long hair......" I exclaimed. "And how do you have time to come to me, I saw a lot of your news on the Internet......"

Because this time was jammed with questions in my mind, I threw all the questions at him without sorting them out.

"Brother, can you let me have a sip of tea first, I came to you specifically to tell you a lot of things you want to know about this bumpy road." Xiao Yin smiled at me helplessly.

"Yu Ge, quickly pour him tea, this person is really my old friend." I breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Ge gently picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the teacup, listening to the sound of the dripping water, it was really an illusion like a world away.

Xiao Yin suddenly snatched the teapot from the Yu singer, and then said softly. "Sister-in-law, I won't trouble you. If you can, can you go home first, I'd like to talk to Liu Quan alone. ”
