Chapter 174: If These Things

Xu Jing's originally smiling face, that gaze was slightly frozen at the moment when a pair of Qin Shijin appeared. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com] eyes flickered with a hint of panic, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but then quickly calmed down and regained his composure. Her smile had also regained her appearance, and she said with a smile, "Zhanyan, why are you here?" ”

Lu Zhanyan greeted him, "Come and get together with friends, what about you?" ”

Lu Zhanyan said, looking at the man beside Xu Jing.

A young and clean man, wearing a shirt and trousers, he can see that he is very polite.

Xu Jing said, "I also came to get together with a few friends. ”

At this time, Qin Shijin's mobile phone rang. He stood behind and picked it up, and Lu Zhanyan vaguely heard him say, "It's here, it's coming......

"Then I'll come back to you in a moment." Lu Zhanyan didn't have time to say a few more words, thinking about going to the private room to report first.

It is estimated that it will be miserable, and it has made them wait for a long time.

"Okay." Xu Jing replied with a smile.

Qin Shijin hung up after a brief call, his dark eyes looked at Xu Jing indifferently and abnormally, with an imperceptible scrutiny.

"Then we'll get there." Lu Zhanyan said a word and walked forward.

Qin Shijin also took another step forward, and followed her past Xu Jing's side.

At that moment, her eyes staggered, Xu Jing chuckled in her heart, only to feel a chill all over, as if there was a torrent rushing up, making her a little dizzy.

Qin Shijin......

It's him!

"What's wrong?" The man next to him asked in a low voice.

Xu Jing shook her head, "It's nothing." ”

This is not one of those famous high-end clubs, just affordable entertainment KTV. The private room was booked by Lu Zhanyan earlier, because the premise was that she came to entertain her, even if it was Qin Shijin, she would not let him pay for it. Although thinking that both of them are wealthy families, they may not be used to such ordinary entertainment venues, but since she is the owner, she can only let her call the shots.

At this moment, there are already two pairs of people sitting in the private room.

Xiao Mobai and his female companion, as well as Li Haoran and his female companion.

The atmosphere was also very good, there was an unknown song played, the volume was not loud, and the two men were talking and laughing.

As soon as everyone saw them coming, Xiao Mobai immediately smiled and said, "Lu Zhanyan, you are too uninteresting, you asked us to come for a drink, but you were late!" How can anyone be like this! ”

Lu Zhanyan and Qin Shijin walked in one after the other, and Lu Zhanyan sat down on the empty sofa.

"I'm sorry! I apologize to you! There is something going on in the company today, so it's late! Lu Zhanyan also knew that he was at fault, so he immediately apologized.

Qin Shijin didn't say a word, and only sat beside her. His arms, naturally across the couch ridge, delicately encircled her into his own range.

Li Haoran said funny, "Lu Zhanyan, I'm sorry, it's too insincere." ”

"Then may I ask Dr. Li, how can it be considered sincere?" When Lu Zhanyan spoke, he looked at him.

Xiao Mobai echoed, and said in the same way as the gourd learned to land and show his face, "That's right, what Dr. Li said is too right, I'm sorry, it's too insincere." ”

"I'm happy to show you sincerity, say, how are you going to come?" Lu Zhanyan asked generously.

Xiao Mobai immediately took three empty wine glasses and lined them up in front of Lu Zhanyan, while Li Haoran took a bottle of wine and filled the three wine glasses one by one.

"The old rule, three glasses of wine." Li Haoran said.

"OK, I'll take the punishment." Lu Zhanyan knew that if they didn't pour her wine, they wouldn't stop.

Lu Zhanyan was about to get the wine glass, but Qin Shijin stopped, "Don't drink." ”

Qin Shijin is not happy with Lu Zhanyan to drink, unless it is necessary for work, and some occasions are unavoidable. But in private, his discipline over her is as complicated as Tang Seng.

"Yo, Nishiki, do you want to be a flower messenger?" Li Haoran made it clear that he was making fun.

"I'll drink it for her." Qin Shijin said dictatorship.

Xiao Mobai refused to let him go, "Jin, don't worry, after punishing Lu Zhanyan, I will punish you again." Anyway, both of you, you're late. ”

"Xiao Mobai, your business is quite fine." Lu Zhanyan also teased.

Qin Shijin didn't entangle with them much, so he directly took three more wine glasses, put them side by side, and poured three more glasses of wine. In one gulp, he drank all six glasses of wine.

The wine glass was empty in an instant, and Qin Shijin said, "Okay?" ”

"It's really boring, you drank it all!" Li Haoran sighed.

"It seems that tonight, he, the messenger of the flower protector, is decided." Xiao Mobai also sighed, and then hugged the female companion next to him and said, "Go pick a song!" Let's sing! ”

Immediately, the two stepped forward and ordered a song to sing in duet.

Here, Li Haoran said, "Lu Zhanyan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are now the manager of a company?" ”

Lu Zhanyan said, "It's just luck." ”

"Who can be so lucky." Li Haoran also admired Lu Zhanyan's ability. They hadn't met for a long time, and they didn't expect that it was just a blink of an eye, and she would become the manager of the company. Such a woman, no wonder Qin Shijin would appreciate it at that time, "It's still brocade, and she has a good eye for treasures." ”

Lu Zhan smiled and looked sideways at Qin Shijin.

only to find that he frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something.

Lu Zhanyan couldn't help but lean over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Shijin stared at him and said casually, "It's nothing." ”

Lu Zhanyan thought he was worrying about the company's affairs, "Oh, it's hard to come out, don't think about work anymore." She looked at the screen of the song, and said, "Qin Shijin, you can sing a song too." ”

"Don't sing." Qin Shijin refused bluntly, stubborn to the extreme, and didn't give any affection.

"Lu Zhanyan, let me tell you, I've never heard Qin Shijin sing." Li Haoran said.

"How long have you known him?" Lu Zhanyan has never had an in-depth understanding of his circle of friends.

Li Haoran said, "Jin and I met in college, and we have been roommates for several years. ”

"Huh? Li Haoran, you studied medicine at HKU? "If it's a university acquaintance, it's an alumnus.

"I went to medical college."

"You study at the University of Medicine, but Qin Shijin is from the University of Hong Kong, how can you be roommates?"

"At that time, we didn't live on campus, so we lived in a rented house outside. Coincidentally, my roommate was Nishiki. ”

"Aren't you the eldest young master? Will you still share a house? Lu Zhanyan was curious.

After graduating from high school, Xiao Mobai went directly to study abroad, so he did not study in China. Qin Shijin stayed in Hong Kong City at that time and met Li Haoran. However, one is a wealthy family, and the other is the son of a medical family, in Lu Zhanyan's cognition, they should have a big apartment for each person.

&mda;

"Lu Zhanyan, did you stretch out your hand when we were here for dinner?" Seeing her curiosity, Li Haoran said helplessly.

Qin Shijin interjected at this time, "She has always thought so. ”

Lu Zhanyan snorted at him, who made him usually like this, extravagant and wasteful, one apartment for one person was not enough, and even the one next door was bought. Ask him why, just because he doesn't like to be noisy. And she is usually called like a Filipino maid, and this and that. He is not a big young master like this, and she doesn't know what to do.

Li Haoran said, "When we were in college, we still went out to work. ”

"You guys work?" Lu Zhanyan was so surprised that he couldn't help himself.

It's too hard to imagine what Qin Shijin looks like when he goes to work......

Li Haoran recalled the past with a smile, "Developing games for game companies was quite interesting at that time......

Li Haoran talked about the interesting story between him and Qin Shijin when they were in college, and Lu Zhanyan listened very seriously.

Qin Shijin has never mentioned these things. I'm afraid it's even harder to get something out of his mouth than to climb to the sky, "I remember one time, we were trying to play a game, and there were some online players. As a result, someone angered Jin, and he directly singled him out and picked the other party. If you still refuse to hang up, you just don't let the other party retreat, resurrect and kill, kill and resurrect, and so on several times. The other party estimated that he turned off the computer directly later......"

Lu Zhanyan doesn't know anything about games, but this seems to be very in line with Qin Shijin's style.

Sure enough, it was cruel &mda; forbearance &mda; blood &mda; fishy.

"Isn't it hard for you to imagine?" Li Haoran asked.

"No, I think it's normal." Lu Zhanyan replied indifferently, "He was like this when he was a child. ”

At that time, he would also go to play games with his classmates, and once after school, they would go home together as usual. But he was intercepted halfway, Lu Zhanyan had a falling out with Qin Shijin that day, so he deliberately was behind, but he didn't expect something to happen. It seemed to be a senior senior, a few ungood teenagers, who took the opportunity to catch her.

Lu Zhanyan was a little scared at the time, thinking that Qin Shijin had provoked them, and wondered if they should fight.

Who knows, but the one who took the lead said: Qin Shijin? It's you kid! Heard about your arcade machine, it's playing well! PK with us today!

Qin Shijin glanced at Lu Zhanyan and went with them.

Lu Zhanyan also followed.

As a result, that day, I watched Qin Shijin and those few bad boys playing arcades, creating the legend of 16 at that time.

Later, Qin Shijin never went to the arcade again.

Because Lu Zhanyan was frightened that time, she only said that if she did this again in the future, she would never go home with him again.

"When you were a child?" Li Haoran asked in confusion.

"Yes, he loved to play arcade when he was a child, and he picked sixteen!" Lu Zhanyan pouted, and his legendary event at that time was vividly depicted, as if how great he was.

Isn't it just arcade?

Later, Lu Zhanyan was bored, and he also played with him.

It's just at home, that kind of game console.

This premise is naturally because she is not happy to see that he is having fun alone, and she has to intervene. The result was tragic, with repeated defeats and repeated defeats.

He didn't even know to let her go, and he called it a beautiful name to make her grow up quickly.

Grow a big-headed ghost.

Since then, Lu Zhanyan has never played again.

Even if he compromised and said that he would let her, she would not be happy to play.

What's the big deal? Let him fight with the machine alone!

"Lu Zhanyan, when did you meet?" Li Haoran didn't know that the two of them had known each other so early.

Lu Zhanyan responded, "I met when I was a child." ”

"You've known each other since you were kids?" Xiao Mobai sat back after singing, and just happened to hear them talking.

"That's right." Lu Zhanyan was depressed, didn't Qin Shijin tell them anything?

Everyone looked at Qin Shijin together, Lu Zhanyan also looked at him, Qin Shijin was very leisurely, and spit out four words without being salty, "The road is narrow." ”

Suddenly, everyone laughed.

"Drink your wine! Don't talk too much! Lu Zhanyan glared at him, he really didn't have a good word!

During the period, it was very joyful, they were all acquaintances, and they were even more unrestrained. Lu Zhanyan went to the bathroom and thought about meeting Xu Jing by the way. When she came to the private room, she was told, "Xu Jing, she is gone." ”

Already gone?

Probably something, she thought.

"Oh, thank you." Lu Zhanyan had no choice but to turn back.

Back in the private room, Xiao Mobai's female companion pulled Lu Zhanyan to sing, "You can sing a song too." ”

"I don't ......know how to sing," Lu Zhanyan refused with a smile.

"It's okay, it's a duet, let's sing it together." The other party insisted on handing the microphone to her, and Lu Zhanyan glanced at Qin Shijin, obviously he didn't intend to relieve her.

Everyone was shouting, and only let her sing one.

Lu Zhanyan can't sing now.

It's long past the age of following pops, so I don't care much about those pop songs.

Lu Zhanyan looked at the screen, that song, I used to listen to it often when I was studying. So, fortunately, she can still sing along. It's just that this singing skill can't be recognized. Lu Zhanyan stood in front of the private room, looking at the small screen from time to time, while Qin Shijin was sitting on the sofa, watching her singing intently.

The eyes are passed from time to time, accompanied by those neon, there is a different style.

The lyrics sung are so exactly like a heart, slowly saying, "If you can't control thinking about me once a day/If you're honest because of me/If you watch my movies and listen to the I love CDs/If you can take me on a trip/If you decide to follow the feeling and be brave for love/If you say we have each other/If you will start to believe in this kind of love feeling/If you can give me what ifs/I only want you one if thing/I will love you desperately......"

Yes, every day is already no longer in control of itself.

Because of you, I'm starting to be honest.

I'm in love with your favorite piano pieces and I occasionally go to see your favorite documentaries.

I would also like to travel with you, whether it's the UK, or the US, or any country in the world.

I even think that the port city is a beautiful city.

Maybe it's because you're here.

What about you?

Do you feel the same way about these ifs?

&mda;

The night didn't go too late, seeing that the time was almost up, and after half past ten, everyone broke up. Riding back in the car, Lu Zhanyan was in the car, still humming the song just now, although it was a little out of tune. Qin Shijin glanced at her with his spare eyes, and felt that she was in a very good mood, he held the steering wheel and stared ahead to drive.

Then, he opened his mouth slowly, and asked seemingly casually, "Who was the person you met in the cloister just now?" ”

Met in the cloister?

Lu Zhanyan thought about it for a while, remembered Xu Jing, and said, "Her name is Xu Jing, she is my friend, and she has never had the opportunity to introduce her to you." ”

"You guys have a good relationship?" Qin Shijin asked again.

"Of course, she's my best friend." Lu Zhanyan said firmly, talking about Xu Jing, her mood became better and better.

"How long have you known each other?"

"Well...... It's been a long time, we've known each other since junior high school, and we've been friends for many years. Lu Zhanyan's heart was warm, and he said with a smile, "No matter what we did before, we were all together." She and I shared the same table, ate together at noon, did homework together in the classroom, rode and ran together, and went to the library to borrow books together......"

She met Xu Jing in a middle school in Hong Kong City.

After Lu Qingsong died of illness in the hospital, because no one was willing to adopt her, Lu Zhanyan had to go to an orphanage. Later, her uncle Lu Baisheng adopted her and brought her to Hong Kong City. After that, she went to study in a middle school in Hong Kong City, and met Xu Jing in this way. When they become table mates, the natural relationship becomes good.

Maybe it's because of the same interests, maybe it's because they are all orphans who were adopted, and they pity each other and get closer and closer.

They encouraged each other, comforted each other, accompanied each other, and became the most tacit couple.

In those green years, on that campus, she always had Xu Jing by her side, and Xu Jing naturally had her figure by her side.

Thinking about it now, she only feels as clear as yesterday, which makes her miss it very much.

"When I was studying in the past, when others couldn't find me, they went to Xu Jing, and if they couldn't find Xu Jing, they came to me. Because we always know where the other person will be. Lu Zhanyan said those interesting things, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "I remember one time, it was when I was in high school, and we went to participate in the debate competition. That kind of debate competition is a team of two, so I went to sign up with Xu Jing. As a result, guess what, we won all the way through five levels and six generals, and the first place in the grade group! ”

The more Lu Zhanyan spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had returned to the past, "Later, we also signed up for a lot of activities together, basically as long as it was a team competition, we could get a good ranking!" ”

"People in the school who know us say we're sisters!" Lu Zhanyan raised his eyebrows and said proudly at Qin Shijin.

Qin Shijin just listened quietly and didn't say much.

After she said for a long time, he spoke, "I thought your best friend was your schoolgirl. ”

The girl named Su Nan.

Lu Zhanyan said seriously, "Su Nan is my junior sister, and we have a good relationship. But Xu Jing, she is my best friend, different! ”

Qin Shijin's eyes tightened, "In those past few years, I haven't seen her with you." ”

"She went abroad to study, Ottawa, Canada, where she studied. I came back to see me before, but then I was too busy studying, and we are not like you, the air ticket is very expensive, she is all work-study, and she didn't come back in order to save the air ticket. Lu Zhanyan couldn't help but speak for Xu Jing.

"When did she come back from studying abroad?" Qin Shijin asked indifferently.

"I met one day after I was working in Thuan An. Xu Jing is very powerful, she became a supervisor after returning to China, I knew before that she would definitely be able to ......" Lu Zhanyan couldn't help but praise.

can clearly feel how deep her friendship with Xu Jing is, Qin Shijin frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Zhanyan asked.

"Some people, you think you have a good relationship with her, but that's not the case." Qin Shijin said in a low voice.

Lu Zhanyan was a little angry, "Qin Shijin, she is my best friend, can you not wear &mda; colored glasses and say this?" ”

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Your facts, let's go and tell others." Although he knew that his words were not unreasonable, Lu Zhanyan still didn't like to hear them.

Qin Shijin was silent, and then spoke again, "You guys are in constant contact now?" ”

"Of course not, we all work, we usually have our own things, and we only come out once in a while."

Hearing her say this, Qin Shijin didn't say anything more. It's just that between the eyebrows, there is a faint haze.

※※※

"Zhan Yan, are you free tonight?"

"Huh?"

Before getting off work that day, Xu Jing called and asked her if she was free, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I happened to pay my salary again, can you please eat?" ”

Anyway, Qin Shijin also has a party tonight, Lu Zhanyan is alone, and it is true that he hasn't seen her for a long time, so he wanted to find her out for a reunion.

She smiled and replied, "Okay." ”

"I'll see you in that moment."

After getting off work, Lu Zhanyan rushed to meet Xu Jing.

The two actually haven't seen each other for a while, and they bumped into each other in the karaoke city before, and they didn't say a few words. Now I finally got together, and I was a little excited and happy. The place of appointment was on the pedestrian street, Lu Zhanyan arrived early, and Xu Jing rushed over. As soon as he saw her, he trotted up to her and affectionately put his arm around her.

"Oops, sorry, I'm late." Xu Jing said apologetically.

"It's okay, anyway, it's your treat today, so it's reasonable for me to wait a while." Lu Zhanyan joked.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Just take a look."

The two walked into the underground pedestrian street arm in arm, and the intimate appearance was still the same as before, without any change. This time, they didn't go to any restaurant, but ate delicious snacks along the way. I remember when I was still studying, I would come here once a week. At that time, they were working to earn money, and every time they came here, it was equivalent to luxury. Now they sit in the office, wearing OL suits, and they are having dinner from time to time.

Life is too fleeting, and I always feel that it passes too quickly.

Sitting at a table on the side of the street, one bowl of rice noodles per person.

Opposite are several female students, wearing the uniform of a certain high school, full of youthful atmosphere. The smiling face is full of vitality.

And they were just like that back then.

Xu Jing suddenly asked, "Zhanyan, are you with him?" ”
