On Saturday night, a few of us made an appointment to eat at a food stall near the school.

Before the dishes were served, everyone sat around the dinner table, and they were silent in a tacit understanding, and even Gu Zipei, who usually talks a lot, sat sullenly and did not speak.

I quietly touched Gu Zijin under the table and signaled to her, as the planner of this dinner, it was time to say something to liven up the atmosphere.

Gu Zijin received my instructions, raised his wine glass and knocked on the table, "Let's raise a glass and congratulate Lu Li on his return from school." ”

The cup in front of me was empty, and I was about to stand up to get the Coke in the center of the table, but I accidentally dropped the chopsticks that were sitting on the edge of the bowl.

"I'll come," Lu Li stood up before me, he easily picked up the Coke and poured it into my empty cup, "You're still so clumsy." ”

At this moment, I suddenly felt that the person sitting next to me was Lu Li, the Lu Li who liked to call me stupid, but would always help me silently.

Soon I remembered Lu Li's indifferent expression in the school doctor's room, and his alienation from me.

"Thank you." I cocked my fingers to take the cup, trying not to touch his hand.

Everyone poured their cups, led by Gu Zijin, and we raised our glasses towards the middle of the dining table together, and the cups of several people collided with each other.

Suddenly, I seemed to have returned to one night of military training in my freshman year of high school, where I, Gu Zijin, Gu Zipei and Lu Li squatted under the persimmon tree, holding persimmons to celebrate revolutionary friendship together.

It's just that there's no going back now.

After putting down the cup, Gu Zijin turned his head and asked Lu Li: "Lu Li, didn't you go to learn piano in the first place, why did you become a doctor?" ”

"Ahem." I didn't expect Gu Zijin to get straight to the topic so quickly, and I was choked by her sudden questioning before I was ready, and I couldn't help coughing.

Lu Li glanced at me, who was coughing red, "I met some friends who studied medicine in the United States, and I thought it was very interesting, so I changed to medicine." ”

Lu Li easily expressed my doubts for a while, but I vaguely felt that this was not the case. Lu Li fell out with his father because of studying medicine when he was in high school, how could he suddenly be interested in studying medicine and give up the piano that he had studied for more than ten years.

However, except for me, the rest of the people at the dinner table seemed to be convinced of Lu Li's answer, Wang Ning said: "I remember when I was in junior high school, your father always wanted you to study medicine in the future, and it was good to study medicine." ”

Gu Zijin was complacent at the moment that she had easily solved my doubts, she glanced at me proudly, and then said to Lu Li: "Yes, yes, we can also look for you if we have a headache and brain fever in the future." You're right, Vera. ”

I nodded silently, not knowing what to say.

The dishes were ready, and Gu Zijin beckoned everyone to eat while they were hot.

Lu Li called to the waiter, "Please give me a fork." ”

The waiter looked at us in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, this is a Chinese restaurant, there are no forks." Why don't I get you a spoon. ”

Lu Li nodded reluctantly.

Gu Zipei, who had been drinking stuffy wine with his head down just now, suddenly said disdainfully to Lu Li: "I went to the United States for a few years, and I can't even use chopsticks, which is really embarrassing for the Chinese."

Gu Zijin slapped Gu Zipei on the back and scolded him in a low voice, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." Drink your wine and go. ”

Gu Zipei pursed his lips and continued to drink.

Lu Li didn't care, he picked up the spoon in his left hand and carefully scooped the vegetables into the bowl, lowered his head and ate silently.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

Lu Li glanced at the number on the mobile phone screen, and stood up and walked to the side while picking up the phone.

Because Lu Li passed by me, when he picked it up, I clearly heard the crisp female voice on the other end of the phone.

When Lu Li was on the phone, Gu Zijin approached me and asked, "What kind of phone call is Lu Li so mysterious?" ”

I picked up a braised eggplant and put it in my mouth, because I ate too quickly and the corners of my mouth were hot, I "hissed" in pain, and pretended not to care and replied: "It's a woman, maybe it's a girlfriend." ”

"Not really." Gu Zijin looked at me worriedly, "Maybe it's a friend." “

Lu Li just came back, where are the friends, let alone female friends.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Yao and Pei Xuan suddenly came.

"Zhenzhen," Pei Xuan looked at me with a smile, "I don't mind if we have a meal." ”

"Of course I don't mind," Gu Zijin pulled a chair from the adjacent table and placed it between me and her, "Come, Pei Xuan, you sit next to Zhen Zhen." Yaoyao, you sit next to me. ”

Gu Zijin, a stinky girl, clearly said a few days ago that she would not implement her unreliable plan.

While Pei Xuan wasn't paying attention, I cast an inquiring look at Gu Zijin, "Why did you call Pei Xuan?" ”

Gu Zijin gave me a reassuring look, "Don't worry, look at me." ”

Then she hurriedly introduced, "This is Pei Xuan, Chen Yao's good buddy, a doctor from the city's first hospital." Pei Xuan, this is ......"

"Lu Li," Lu Li interrupted Gu Zijin and said his name in vain, "Pei Xuan, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

I really want to ask him, where did he come from to admire his name for a long time, obviously I only mentioned Pei Xuan's name once in the text message.

Pei Xuan nodded politely at Lu Li, "We met in the school doctor's office that day, and the two of us are peers, so we will give us more advice in the future." ”

Gu Zijin didn't hesitate to talk about the process of me and Pei Xuan's blind date at the dinner table, and I frequently glanced at her, but she deliberately ignored it.

At this time, Lu Li, who was sitting on my left, inexplicably put on his iceberg face after Pei Xuan came in, and Pei Xuan, who was sitting on my right, had been enthusiastically serving me vegetables since he sat down. I was caught in the middle, feeling the torment of ice and fire.

After drinking some wine, we started talking about high school again.

Gu Zipei raised the wine bottle to Lu Li, he was obviously drunk, and he couldn't say anything, "Lu Li, are we still friends?" ”

Lu Li looked at Gu Zipei and nodded lightly.

Seeing Lu Li's affirmation, Gu Zipei smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Then why did you suddenly study abroad in the year of the college entrance examination?" ”

Gu Zijin and I have been thinking about the opportunity to ask Lu Li's question, but we didn't expect to be asked by Gu Zipei in this situation.

"If you have a good chance, of course you have to go out and have a look." Lu Li replied calmly.

Gu Zipei looked at Lu Li with red eyes, suddenly stood up from his seat, and at the moment when we didn't react, he rushed to Lu Li's side and knocked Lu Li to the ground with one punch.

"Then why did you leave without saying a word, you know Zhenzhen, and how long have we been looking for you? You still say we're friends! Gu Zipei held down Lu Li, who fell to the ground, and punched again while scolding.

Everything happened too suddenly, we were stunned for a few seconds before we reacted, Chen Yao and Pei Xuan grabbed Gu Zipei, who was crazy, I was about to help Lu Li.

At this time, a long-haired girl ran to Lu Li's side one step ahead of me and helped Lu Li up.

That girl is tall and outstanding, especially a pair of amber eyes that make her whole person have an exotic taste, it is Annie!

Anne took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped the blood stains from the corners of her mouth for Lu Li, "Lu Li, are you hurt?" ”

Lu Li shook his head, but refused to allow Anne to wipe her wounds.

I looked at the intimate appearance of the two people in front of me, and I felt very uncomfortable, so I had to glance at Gu Zipei, who was already much more awake, and the blood red in his eyes gradually subsided.

Pei Xuan walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, "It's okay." ”

After Anne cleaned Lu Li's wounds, she turned to Gu Zipei, who was sitting on the ground panting, and glared angrily, "How can you hit someone?" What are the qualities of the Chinese now! ”

Gu Zipei was enraged again by these words, he stood up and walked in front of Lu Li, "Then let him go back to the American Republic." ”

Gu Zijin was also unhappy, "You don't want to kill a bunch of people with a stick, okay?" ”

Anne replied, "Lu Li told me to eat with his high school classmates, what high school classmates still use their fists and kicks?" ”

The atmosphere was tense again, I walked to the middle, glanced at Anne and Lu Li who were next to each other, and took a deep breath, "I invited everyone out to dinner today because I want to tell you." I decided to date Pei Xuan, for the sake of this event, don't quarrel, okay? ”

As soon as I said that, everyone except Anne looked at me in surprise.

"Zhen Zhen," Pei Xuan walked up to me and looked at me in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

I nodded, "Pei Xuan, that's what I want to tell you before you go to Beijing." Do you agree? ”

Pei Xuan hugged me happily, and almost circled in place, "Of course I agreed, I'm so happy." ”

After Pei Xuan let go of me, I walked in front of Lu Li, I looked at the corners of his red and swollen mouth, and my heart hurt as if I had been pricked by a needle, "Lu Li, I apologize to you for Gu Zipei's behavior just now." ”

Lu Li looked at the hand that Pei Xuan and I were holding and spit out four words, "Congratulations." ”

Then turn around and Anne left.

The moment Lu Li turned around, I saw his expression with a little pain.

Lu Li said that he decided to study medicine because he met some friends, and Anne is Lu Li's friend and psychiatrist, and Anne is the reason why Lu Li gave up the piano to study medicine.

I watched their figures gradually disappear into the night, and with them disappeared was my wishful thinking for Lu Li in the past ten years.

Pei Xuan, who was standing beside me, still looked at me happily, and felt a burst of guilt in my heart, I held Pei Xuan's hand instead, raised my head and smiled at him.

It's like in our sleep, we don't know how many lotuses bloom quietly, and how many flowers fall into the grass. The oath of youth, about the love of youth, will be silently stranded in some corner of the world.

And about our story, how will it end?

"Two flowers bloom, each splendid, one separate and two wide, each rejoicing", perhaps it should be the best result between us.

(I said that I was going to abuse Lu Li, why does it seem that we are still being abused.) But this may be the reason for the novel's perspective, because the novel is written from Zhen Zhen's perspective, so Zhen Zhen doesn't know what Lu Li thinks in his heart. So there will be an extra story about Lu Li in the later stage, and you can watch Lu Li's abused mood carefully at that time. Ha ha. ）
