Chapter 21 Obsessed
In the dark, I felt my head hit something, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was the car window next to me. When did you fall asleep? Maybe I'm too tired. I let out a long breath and stretched my arms and legs contentedly, hoping to shake off the sleepiness of my body. However, I suddenly realized a question, how could I sleep in a car? So I looked around and found myself sitting in a clean, high-end car, with the delicate and smooth leather seats that felt so pleasant to the touch.
The street outside the car window is full of pedestrians and vehicles, and I can still see the green in Nanning in early winter, and the bright sunlight shines through the evergreen almond trees in the four seasons on the car window, and I can really feel its temperature. Familiar buildings are speeding by, orderly traffic is as busy as ever, and people are running for their lives as usual, going to work and going to class......
What's going on? It felt like I had been hungover for a long time, and I felt a dull pain in my head. Everything has become so strange, yet very familiar. The world seems to be the same as ever, except for the deteriorating environment, complex international politics, and petty disputes between people.
"Are you awake?" The man who was driving in the driver's seat looked at me through the rearview mirror, "I saw you dizzy when I first picked you up, I guess you were tired after sitting on the plane for so long." ”
It seemed that this man knew me well, and out of politeness, I casually agreed, adjusted my sitting position and leaned forward, and just stepped on a newspaper that must have fallen while I was asleep, and on it was a large report of a cured flu.
"You went to bed as soon as you got in the car, and you haven't told me how your life is in the United States, so why don't you tell me about it quickly."
What is life in the United States? I don't have any impression of it. I could just see the driver's face in the rearview mirror, and his side face looked quite familiar, and the deep, magnetic voice was affected by only one friend.
"Huang Weizheng?"
My sudden shout startled him and said, "Huh? What's wrong with you? Suddenly called me so loud. ”
"How...... No...... Yes? Strange? ”
Huang Weizheng glanced at me who was incoherent and said, "What's strange? ”
"Uh...... It's okay......"
"You're still the same as you used to, and you're startled at every turn." Huang Weizheng smiled, looking at his tone, I guess he and I just had a reunion. Oh my God, my mind was full of questions! What day is it? I'm supposed to be in Nanning, so what should I do next? What did you do before?
"Well, are you alright?" Huang Weizheng saw that I was puzzled, and said half-jokingly, "You can't leave something at the airport, right?" ”
"No, no ......"
"Better not, man, we have a lot to do today." Huang Weizheng skillfully made a direction, and our car drove into a main road, "Your luggage will be put in the car first, and we will rush to try on clothes now." ”
"Trying on clothes? Why? "This inexplicable plan made me even more confused.
"What else can I do? My custom-made suit is OK, of course I'm going to try it. ”
"Why try?"
"Big brother, are you stupid?" Huang Weizheng pushed my shoulder while controlling the steering wheel with one hand and said proudly, "I'm getting married!" My best man, of course you're going to try on clothes with me! ”
"Married?" I couldn't believe my ears. Ten years later, my good brother got married, and I didn't know anything...... But that's not the way I think it is...... It's not a joke! Although I have a vague impression of what I have been through, I am sure that the time before I wake up should not be like this.
However, Huang Weizheng didn't seem to be joking. "Alas, you're not in a good state, I'll go wash your face and sober up later."
Thinking about it, I think I've been through a lot of things before, but I can't remember exactly what happened, and it feels like ...... It's like a dream. And the fact in front of me is that my good brother is getting married! In this way, it seems that if I ask questions in confusion again, I will be sent to the hospital by Huang Weizheng. In order not to mess up my buddy's happy event, I decided to stop asking so much nonsense for the time being, and honestly finish what I had to do, and then figure out what was going on; Maybe I'll remember after a while, I really shouldn't have read so many weird novels......
It didn't take long for us to come to a famous bridal shop, and there weren't too many pedestrians in front of the store, so we quickly found a parking space. After the car stopped, Huang Weizheng pulled the handbrake, turned around and looked at me carefully, and I just had the opportunity to "reconfirm" his appearance.
This guy still wears the same black-rimmed glasses as I remembered, and his skin is still a little dark and yellow, but his face is a little squarer, his dark and sharp eyebrows and thick hair make his eyes deeper, his slightly bulging cheeks are proof of life, and his handsome eyebrows reveal more maturity. His age should be before the age of thirty, young and energetic, and his energetic smile knows at a glance that he is a young and promising successful person; Although I don't quite remember what his job was, I think he definitely wasn't low. Looking down at myself, a simple pair of jeans and a plain T-shirt and a brown jacket, I couldn't remember what my job was......
"It's really troublesome for you, I came back all the way, and I spent here with me before I returned home."
"It's okay, it should be." Huang Weizheng's polite words made me feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go, then?"
"Hmm."
Huang Weizheng and I walked out of the car together, and as soon as I closed the door, I realized that it was a black Mercedes-Benz, good guy. I guessed that right, this kid is well developed. Holding back my envy, I followed my successful classmates into the lavishly decorated bridal shop. As soon as we entered, the two lines of welcoming waiters bowed respectfully to us, and a female manager in a straight work suit enthusiastically guided Huang Weizheng all the way into the store without looking at me. And I can only be like a follow-up driver, looking left and right without knowledge, and I am at a loss.
"The bride is trying on, please wait a minute." After the manager finished speaking, she asked a waiter to hand us two glasses of water, and then invited us to sit down on a white fabric sofa before turning away.
Seeing that there was no other person left and right, I whispered to Huang Weizheng: "At first glance, I know that he is a profiteer who recognizes money but not people." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Didn't you notice that she looked at you differently than she looked at me?" I shrugged and laughed at myself, "I'm not wearing a little bit of a bad outfit." ”
"Ahaha! Don't be so stingy, okay? Besides, aren't you a good mix? I've heard that you've been getting bigger and bigger in the past ten years, isn't it? I don't often contact our good brothers. ”
It really short-circuited my brain, and to be honest, I still didn't remember what I did...... Could it be a temporary amnesia? If so, then what should I say? If the truth is told, I estimate that Huang Weizheng's busy plan for a day will be in vain, so let's make up a story to fool the past.
"Uh...... It's just very busy! Ahaha! I took a restless sip of water, hoping to find some good excuse in the interval of a few seconds, "It's hard to say what you've done, and it's hard to say for a while...... Ay! Let's discuss your plans for the next few days. ”
"Oh! That's what you say. Thankfully, Huang Weizheng finally gave up asking, "After we try on the clothes, we will go to the hotel to confirm the matter and see if they are ready, and then you can go home and rest first, and come to my bachelorette party at six o'clock in the evening." ”
"And a party?"
"It's just that a few of our old classmates are meeting each other, and I don't want any trouble at this time."
"Husband, you're here!" From behind us came a call like the sound of a piano, and this well-behaved and somewhat informal voice seemed familiar, reminding me of the girl who used to be by my side at every opportunity.
Huang Weizheng and I looked back at the same time, and saw a woman in a white wedding dress like a blooming snow lotus, with a little shy flush, and couldn't wait to show her lover the beauty of the carefully prepared. She gently held the edge of her skirt like an ice flower with both hands and paced forward two small steps, and the light hem of her skirt swayed with it. The light and shadow swaying between the summer solstice trickle revealed a vague expectation, the long brownish yellow hair was draped over the shoulders and slightly curled up at the tips of the hair, the snow-white skin wrapped in plain yarn could be blown and broken, and the pink lips were like a cherry blossom fluttering petals, even the most romantic poet could not come up with a poem to describe.
Chen ...... Chen Mo? I stared at the charming woman in front of me in amazement, and I couldn't say anything as bright as the first sunny day after the rain.
Hearing me call her name, the bride smiled and shifted her gaze to me. "Ahh Du Yuheng? That's right! It's been a long time, why are you still like this? Nothing has changed! ”
Sure enough, it was Chen Mo, I couldn't believe that the stupid girl in my impression has now become a beautiful woman on the lone side, and seeing her face made me feel like a spring breeze, but I didn't know what expression to use to face it. Maybe it was because I couldn't accept it for a while, I just smiled, but I couldn't help but melt the smile away, leaving a little confused forced smile.
"Uh...... cough ......" Suddenly thinking that the other party was still waiting for me to react, I cleared my throat, hurriedly combed through my scattered thoughts, and finally popped out a sentence, "What an ugly duckling turned into a swan." ”
I know it's stupid, but I really don't know what to say. After listening to my evaluation, Chen Mo immediately pouted and raised her eyebrows lightly, raised her chin slightly, and counterattacked: "Are you praising me?" Aren't you still that ugly duckling in comparison? Sorry to say me. ”
It finally felt a little familiar, and it wasn't until now that I really felt like I was talking to my old classmates. Huang Weizheng walked up to Chen Mo, gently took her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, do you two have to be ruthless like this?" ”
"It was Du Yuheng who started first, and it's none of my business." Chen Mo shook Huang Weizheng's hand aggrievedly, and looked at him with watery eyes, I know that this is a woman's most powerful weapon, so I can only admit it.
However, Huang Weizheng is still Huang Weizheng in the end, he is not a guy who likes to show affection in front of his brothers. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't change the topic wittily as Chen Mo wished. "By the way, what about our clothes?"
"Oh, yes." Chen Mo's attention was easily diverted, and she motioned for the two waiters who had been standing beside us to bring two black suits, "Yours and I are ordered according to the previous size, and Du Yuheng's doesn't know." Speaking of this, the nemesis bride glanced at me again, "If it's not suitable, let him pay for it himself." ”
Check it out! Is this a provocation? I was about to open my mouth to accept the offer, but for the sake of Huang Weizheng's face, it was better to stabilize the key points first.
At the urging of the noisy bride, Huang Weizheng and I hurriedly changed into suits. No matter how you look at this well-cut suit, the price is above four or five figures, and I can't afford it anyway. In front of the mirror, even if we are both wearing suits, the contrast between me and Huang Weizheng is still so obvious.
Huang Weizheng's body itself is not broad, but the slim suit is just right for him, and the upper body is still a little tightened just to the waist, which makes people feel more spiritual. The undershirt has some light blue vertical stripes, which is a relatively fresh and elegant type; And the slender lake blue casual tie makes the lines of his figure more symmetrical. This kid's dress is a bit of a small owner of a listed big company in the movie, and what about me...... It's more like a stunned young man who came to this company to apply for a job, and it took a lot of effort to tie the tie. Overall, the suit is quite suitable, but it doesn't look as "successful" as Huang Weizheng when I wear it, I guess this is partly because it was overshadowed by his dazzling light, and the other part is to blame myself for being the one who has achieved nothing.
I disdainfully posed two poses in front of the mirror, and in the mirror I was really raunchy, and my immature appearance and messy hair were a cynical little rascal. The untidy high-end shirt looked like a regular bargain on me, and the tie around my neck was about the same as a dog leash, so that no one pulled it up and took it out on the street.
No sooner had the thought crossed my mind than someone grabbed my tie. "The tie is not a red scarf, it is not worn like this." Huang Weizheng took off the red scarf around my neck while preaching, and then carefully began to help me retie it and continued, "By the way, when are you going to tell me what you did before?" ”
"Why do you keep holding on to this problem?" I was half embarrassed that I had to ask someone to help tie the tie, and half of it was prevaricating about Huang Weizheng's problem.
"I'm just curious, I don't even know how to tie a tie. You can't forget what you've done, right? This sentence really got to the point, and at this time I really had the urge to tell Huang Weizheng, I don't remember anything, and I don't even know why I appeared here inexplicably.
Just as I was about to speak, I don't know which uninteresting guy's phone rang.
"Du Yuheng?" Chen Mo, who was sitting next to the fitting room, shook her mobile phone, and I knew it was her mobile phone, "Your mobile phone is ringing." ”
Belch...... I don't even know if I have my phone with me, so it seems that it would be better to confess before things get worse. I took the phone, glanced at the call prompt, I hope to at least know who the caller is, but unfortunately it shows that it is a strange phone, in desperation I had to find a slightly quiet corner, click the answer button, I hope the other party made a mistake or what kind of advertising sales, so that I can hang up immediately.
"Hey, hello."
"Hello Du Yuheng." Hell, they know me, but that tone and voice don't look like some familiar friend of mine, more like ...... Enemy, "Is the thing still on you?" ”
"What's that?"
"Hehe, you know what it is, take care of it, I'm going to take it tonight." The other person's voice was so low that it gave me an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Who are you? Don't joke about it. ”
"I'm not kidding......" Before the other party could finish his words, I hung up in a panic.
Back in the fitting room, I changed my original clothes as quickly as I could. Huang Weizheng saw that I was overwhelmed when I came back after answering the phone, and said with concern: "Hey, are you okay?" ”
"Uh, okay." I smirked, "Well, I still have some business, I'll go back to you in the evening." ”
"What's so urgent?" Huang Weizheng didn't understand my words, and at this time we had already walked to the door of the store.
"I can't tell you for a while, the luggage is here for you first." I wasn't in the mood to explain to Huang Weizheng at all. A bad premonition told me that being with him would only ruin his wedding with Chen Mo, and more importantly, it might lead trouble to him.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the address of my home, and come to my house for a party in the evening."
"Okay, okay." The guy was still obsessed with his night party, so I had to ask him to write down his home address in my phone memo. As soon as he finished writing, I grabbed my phone, hurriedly said goodbye to him and left the bridal shop.
Sure enough, things weren't as simple as I thought, and I didn't know how I really got into some big trouble, so that someone came to the door. So what exactly did I do? Drug trafficking? Spy? Or what's more troublesome to do? All in all, I'm on the go. So where do I go now? Leave this? How to leave? Oh my God, my brain is going to explode! What the hell is going on? Just then, my phone rang again. The caller ID is still an unknown number, but it's not the same as the one just now. I thought about it and decided to take a look.
"No surprises, is it still with you?" This time, the other party was more direct, but unlike just now, this time it was a woman's voice.
"Who are you? What is it? ”
"I'm Zhang Xiaoying, are you okay?" The name did sound familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was, "I heard you went missing at the airport, and I thought you were caught." ”
Missing? As soon as Zhang Xiaoying said this, everything made sense. I must have been attacked by someone and injured so much that I had amnesia. When everything seemed to be clear, I suddenly felt a little tingling in my elbow, in fact, I had been feeling this way all along, but at the time I thought it was fatigue and soreness caused by the wrong sleeping position in the car, but now it seems that it is not. I lifted my sleeve and noticed a purplish-red pinhole in the vein of my right elbow. But I can't remember when I got the injection.
Wait, after thinking about it, I still think these things are too, I frankly said to Zhang Xiaoying on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are?" ”
"What?"
"I ...... I, I think I was drugged by someone and now my memory is a little confused. "I don't know why, I think this Zhang Xiaoying is trustworthy, at least in terms of the current situation, she is more reliable.
"I see, let's find a place to meet."
It was a challenge to say yes to this invitation. To go or not to go? But taking a step back, what choice do I have? Finding any acquaintances and friends will only involve them in this troublesome matter.
"Okay, where?"
"Meet at Chendonggang Wharf after three o'clock."
"What......" Before I finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone, probably because I was afraid of being found by the phone location tracking software in the movie.
Chendonggang is also a familiar place name, although I can't remember its exact location either. I looked at my watch, and there was about an hour left, so I had to figure out where Chen Donggang was first. Through the map on my phone, I quickly found Chen Donggang. However, just as I was about to wave to stop a taxi, a man standing across the street who seemed to be watching me all the time caught my attention. He was about the same height as me, but he was thin, dark-skinned, and wore a gray jacket and a blue baseball cap; I couldn't make out his face, but I could be sure his gaze was locked in my direction.
A taxi stopped right in front of me at my beckoning, and I got into the car, told the driver the exact location, and then turned my head to see that the person was nowhere to be found.
Damn, everyone looks suspicious now! Well, now is not the time for distractions. I squinted my eyes and took a deep breath, adjusted my mindset, and decided to straighten out the current situation first. The memory will not be retrieved for a while, and it is unknown whether it was given any medicine or whether it has other side effects on my body. And Zhang Xiaoying and the other man I was talking to on the phone seemed to be anxious to get something very important from me. I don't know what it is, but it must have been hidden somewhere before I lost my memory, or it was still with me.
Thinking of this, I quickly and carefully rummaged through my pockets, but found nothing but my wallet, keys, and mobile phone. Case...... It can't be put on Huang Weizheng's car, right? It was only then that I realized that I had been involved in this trouble, but if I was lucky, no one knew that my luggage was still with Huang Weizheng, so he should still be safe, so I still had to find him again at night and get my luggage back, so that this good old man could leave this matter alone.
The phone in my pocket rang again, and my spine tingled. The screen showed the number of the strange man from before, and I fixed my mind and clicked the answer button.
"I didn't expect you to answer the phone so quickly." The man teased me in a contemptuous tone, "But you made the right choice to leave that newlywed couple." ”
