Chapter Twenty-Five: The Surprise of a Rival
When the Chinese New Year was approaching, I went to see Zhang's mother, but I was surprised to find that Shen Qi was also there. Zhang's mother has already made her restaurant business thriving, and I even think that Zhang Teng's economic acumen for business was inherited from Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother found a small private room for me and Shen Qi, and then went to do her business.
Shen Qi and I chatted while eating. She asked me carefully about the whole process of my confession to Shaoyang and what she didn't know about the subsequent development. She also invited me to take the first credit, saying that the reason why I confessed to Shao Yang was because of the photo of the short-haired girl she sent me, which made me feel full of pressure instantly, so I turned pressure into motivation and had the sweet love between me and Shao Yang today in one go.
Out of the idea of defending love, I asked Shen Qi carefully about the short-haired girl. Shen Qi said that the girl seemed to be chasing Shaoyang. The girl's father is a big customer in the bank, she holds a position as an ordinary accountant in her father's company, often goes to the bank to handle some business, every time she comes, she will take the initiative to find Shaoyang, and eyebrows at him, last time she also sent a box of chocolates to show her heart, but recently she hasn't been here for a long time.
I don't care about the girl's identity and background and his heart for Shao Yang, what I care about Shao Yang's handling of this matter. So I asked Shen Qi about Shao Yang's attitude, and Shen Qi couldn't say anything, just said to me: "Xiao Lu, I think Shao Yang likes you very much." ”
I smiled in my heart. At this time, Zhang's mother pushed the door and came in.
"It's a coincidence that you two came together to see me today."
"Auntie, Zhang Teng hasn't come back recently, has he?" Shen Qi took the lead in asking Zhang's mother about Zhang Teng.
"I'm back! I came back half a month ago, saying that it was for Xiao Lu's birthday. ”
Shen Qi looked at me in surprise, I didn't speak, the key is that I don't know about it.
"Zhang Teng also said that he saw you and your boyfriend, and the three of you will celebrate Xiao Lu's birthday together! When he came back, it was past eight o'clock in the morning, and he said that you had gone to sing all night long, and when he got home, he caught a cold, and lay in bed for a day and a night. Zhang's mother said with a smile, and Shen Qi and I were confused. This story from Zhang's mother's mouth has never happened!
"Shen Qi, do you have a boyfriend? I heard Zhang Teng say that he is a talent. Mama Zhang continued to immerse herself in her own world, and she asked Shen Qi with a smile.
Shen Qi was stunned, and after coming to his senses, he said, "Ah! Yes, he is my colleague. ”
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a very young boy poked in and said, "Boss, come out for a while!" ”
Mother Zhang looked at us with a smile and said to the little boy, "Okay, let's go out." Then he said to me and Shen Qi, "You eat first, and I'll come over to see you two later." ”
After Zhang's mother left, Shen Qi and I looked at each other and didn't speak. After a while, he picked up the bottle on the table, poured red wine into the glass, pushed it in front of me, and poured himself another glass. She still didn't speak, but raised her glass and drank it down.
I stared at the glass, picked it up and put it down.
On my birthday, I leaned on Shaoyang's shoulder and laughed with Zhipeng and Shen Qi, who were sitting opposite. We were chatting funny jokes, and the hot pot on the table was steaming. The laughter and laughter in all those moments Zhang Teng was not with us. According to the story from Zhang's mother's mouth, the person sitting next to me should be Zhang Teng instead of Shao Yang. So, can I think that at some point on that day, Zhang Teng may have been in a corner where none of us could see the story that happened to me and Shen Qi. On the second day of my birthday, I obviously received a gift from him from someone else, called him, his mobile phone turned off again, and in Zhang's mother's mouth, he didn't return all night, and after returning home, he caught a cold again, and lay in bed for a day and a night, what the hell is going on.
I raised my eyes to look at Shen Qi, who was drinking wine one by one, smiling bitterly for a while, and sneering for a while.
Shen Qi ......, "I called her, but she ignored me."
I had serious doubts about whether there was any story between Shen Qi and Zhang Teng, and whether they had admired each other when they were young. I also asked Zhang Teng sideways, but Zhang Teng was frank about the things between the two of them, and now Shen Qi is very happy with Zhipeng by his side, so I always feel that the story between them does not mean anything to their present and future lives.
Where did Zhang Teng go on that night before returning? Did he feel sad when he looked at the talented boyfriend next to Shen Qi!
When I thought of this, the figure of Zhang Teng suddenly jumped in my mind, he was leaning on a red Wrangler and standing at the door of my unit, looking up slightly at the glass window of my office. I don't know why this scene is presented in my mind, I just feel an inexplicable sour feeling in my heart, feeling sorry for Zhang Teng, and I don't feel that I also picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.
Shen Qi was drunk, and after I took a taxi and put her in the seat, I got into the car from the other side, reported the address of Shen Qi's house to the driver, and leaned on the seat groggily. Shen Qi muttered a dream in his mouth and frowned. I saw that she was really uncomfortable, so I put her head on my shoulder to make her comfortable, but she quickly dodged it, and after sitting down, she opened her eyes wide, and then looked out of the car window.
I felt tired and leaned against the window. The two of us were sitting in the same car, but we were far apart, and we seemed to have our own things on our minds.
