Chapter 238: Dark Cloud Side, Golden Cloud Edge (I)
There is not just one, but four acquaintances.
At the beginning, except for Xu Ran, the other three won a very good impression of Shui Qing. That's Gao Ge, Xiao Shan, and Ah Jian.
Because Xu Ran likes the twelve beeches, the four of them rented a small villa in this resort for a long time as a music studio, and whenever they recorded a new album, they would come to retreat and isolate themselves from the outside world.
Therefore, although it is a coincidence that the cicada band can be seen here on this day, Shui Qing is not very surprised. Thinking that Xu Ran has broken through his bottleneck and entered the recording stage, it also means that he will soon be able to hear the latest album of Cicada.
She was still hesitating to go out to say hello, but because of the sudden scene in front of her, she showed a shocked expression.
Ah Jian, the most amiable in the Cicada Band, swung his fist and hit Xu Ran hard. The punch was heavy, and there was a moment, which made that face distort and distort, and the charm was completely lost.
However, under such a heavy blow, Xu Ran didn't even move.
From Shui Qing's angle, he could only see the side of Xu Ran being beaten, as well as half of his indifferent look, and Ah Jian's angry second punch to the other half of Xu Ran's face.
She subconsciously couldn't bear to look at it.
Finally, the other two members of the Cicada Band reacted. Gao Ge rushed forward to stop Ah Jian, and Xiao Shan pulled Xu Ran to a safe distance from Ah Jian. I don't know what Gao Ge said, Ah Jian didn't look at Xu Ran anymore, turned around and left. Then, Gao Ge looked at Xu Ran, but his expression was not good, and he chased Ah Jian away. Xiaoshan had his back to Shui Qing, so she only saw him pat Xu Ran on the shoulder, and then went in the direction where her friends left, and also left.
Xu Ran stood in place for a while, the corners of his mouth pulled up, but he smiled bitterly. Rubbing his face, when he was about to walk in the opposite direction, he suddenly faced the beautiful smiling face behind the glass.
This kind of filthiness should not be seen by her. Shui Qing wanted to turn his back as if nothing happened, but under Xu Ran's straight gaze, he couldn't do it. I had no choice but to raise my hand, wave it, make a hi lip shape, and try to make myself look natural.
The sky was blue and the clouds were white.
Xu Ran's face that had just been beaten rose in a burning red, a bit like a dark cloud that suddenly floated over. The shoulder-length hair danced like a flying soul, lined with cold eyes, as if the darkness had eroded the light and haze so handsome.
A long, long time ago, when he talked about his parents, he looked like he does now. Because it has been too long, the memory in Shui Qing's mind is a little yellow, and now it is fresh and vivid again, but it feels bad.
When Shui Qing thought that Xu Ran would continue to walk in the shade, his charm instantly appeared, so beautiful that she thought she could see the peach blossoms in the sky full of gold dust. Then, his hand, which was as beautiful as a thin bamboo, made a gesture: his middle finger, ring finger, and little finger were all closed, his index finger was pointed at his temple, and his thumb was cocked.
Shui Qinghuo stood up.
However, Xu Ran had already turned around and walked through the path in the woods, and soon disappeared into the greenery.
Should I catch up and ask? Shui Qing was a little flustered by his last gesture. Well, although she and him are not very good friends, they have been entangled for a long time, and it is difficult to treat them as strangers and ignore them. And, it seems, it has something to do with the whole band, and she cares about singing about them. The friendship over the years has been vague about good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and the simplest is to have concern.
Just decided to ask to make it clear, but the three members of the Yun family entered the hall at this time, and Shui Qing had to put things aside, because there was always a first come, a first come.
Coincidentally, she drove up the mountain road, and saw Xu Ran coming out of the side door of the resort, stepping on the red brick floor, and the beech trees along the side of the road were not slow, and they were also heading towards the garden.
Immediately slowed down, Shui Qing lowered the window and called Xu Ran, "Do you want to take a ride?" ”
In fact, once you go up the mountain, it is the scope of the garden. However, it is still 100 meters away from the main building. But the road is not a straight line, but a curve that goes in. It's less than five minutes by car, but it's twenty minutes to walk.
Xu Ran shook his head, "I'm taking a walk." It seemed that his mood recovered quickly, and he still smiled at the Yun family couple and Yun Tianyuan.
"Don't fall into the barrel." Shui Qing knew that this person borrowed wine from time to time to drown his sorrows.
"When the time comes, please fish me out." The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched, half-truth. The river wind blew, the black hair was unruly, he put his hands in his pockets, and did not stay any longer.
Shui Qing smiled and said that he must drive the car out quickly.
"Your friend?" Yun Tianyuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked.
"Yes." For the first time, she confessed to the public. How so? Xu Ran is a special friend.
When the car turned a corner, I saw rows of grape trellises, and I heard Yun Huawei sighing at the beauty of the scenery in the back seat, which was just right for Shui Qing not to say much about Xu Ran, so he naturally turned the topic to grape planting.
After parking, not long after Shui Qing came down, Qin Yu came up. She thought it was Xu Ran's business, but she didn't expect Qin Yu to ask her mood. It turned out that the confusion in the defense made Qin Yu worry about her.
"It's okay, the head of the department said that the binding was wrong, I can accept it completely, as long as the paper is passed." Yun Tianlan had already advocated with her, long live sixty points. If you completely open your mind, what if you can't finish college? I studied a double master's degree in my last life, and even if I don't have a bachelor's degree in this life, my inner realm is still very high.
"It's not just passing, the content is exquisite, the arguments are novel, and the highest score is about the same." Qin Yu saw that Shui Qing was open-minded, and put down a stone in his heart.
"Is the handover complete?" Shui Qing was reluctant to let Qin Yu, a veteran of the blue sky, go, but the dream was hard to find, and once it was in front of him, he had to catch it.
"It's better to come early than to come by chance, today is the last day. I will go back to the company tomorrow to meet Sister Qiu and them, and the day after tomorrow I will go to report on my new job. Because of reluctance, Qin Yu dragged it until he couldn't delay it any longer, and then ended the affairs of the Twelve Beeches.
"Don't go home? Time is also too tight. "Shui Qing has always admired Qin Yu's independence. For a few years, Qin Yu only sent money on a monthly basis, and never went back. In addition to being at the top of his class, he also passed the advanced translation certification, and was overwhelmingly hired by the United Nations, a world-famous organization. does not speak spoken English, Qin Yu's English is more solid and profound than Shui Qing.
"After the training, there will be a week off, and then I will go back." Qin Yu suddenly added, "Boss, if I can't pass the probationary period, I'll come back, okay?" It's okay not to be a manager. ”
"Nope." Shui Qing immediately shook her head, but her smile meant that she didn't really refuse, "You can break the boat." Don't waste time and energy by looking around. If you can become a staff member of the United Nations and help people all over the world, since it is your ideal, then work hard until the earth is peaceful. ”
"Peace on Earth? I fight for it. Qin Yu laughed.
"Where's Accountant Sun?" Shui Qing asked.
Sun Ying's mother, Zhao Xiang, is about to take up the post of general manager of Twelve Beech. Such a promotion is not because of qualifications, but because of Zhao Xiang's outstanding performance, which made the senior cadres of Bikong unanimously approve the proposal of her to serve as the general manager. This proposal is not Shui Qing's, but Zhang Hua and Qin Yu's.
"And George, Ye Moli is trying new wine in the wine cellar." Qin Yu then pushed, "Do you want to bring your guests along and join in the fun?" ”
"Well, I'd love to try the wine from this garden." Yun Tianyuan listened carefully from the sidelines.
"Uncle and aunt, if you're interested." Shui Qing handed over the decision to the two "adults", and also reminded him responsibly, "The twelve beeches are a three-year-old wine garden, so it's okay to try it, and if you want to taste the top wine, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." At most, I can prepare some of the best French wines to serve you at lunch. ”
"Oh, let's try?" On this trip, the most gained was Yun Huawei language. Since that night trip to Nanyu, my husband has been able to talk to him about topics that he wouldn't have talked about before. The relationship can't be said to be very close, but it is really cordial. "I don't care." It is very eye-opening to see such an advanced wine garden in China. Therefore, even if it is Yun'an Day, of course, I want to taste this sake.
On Qin Yu's last day, he stuck to his post and couldn't accompany him.
Shui Qing told her that when Xu Ran came, she would stare at it, add water to the wine, and don't let him drink it.
"Mixed with water?" Qin Yu wanted to lose this move.
"Yes, after he drank two bottles, he mixed them with water in them, so that he would not go mad." After Shui Qing finished explaining, he walked to the Yun family, who had already walked a distance, and led them to visit the wine cellar.
Qin Yu made up his mind that he must complete the last task assigned by the boss himself.
The cellar is still in its old location, and there are several large wooden barrels that are full of people tall at the door, and not far away is a pair of twelve beeches. The leaves sing in the summer, the shells are green in the sun, and the trunks are tall and stout, guarding the boundary between the cellar and the pergola. The freshness of the grape leaves and the fruity aromas of the wine are mixed into the air chain here. Just by smelling, you feel heaven.
Shui Qing stepped down the iron ladder, and the closer she got to the long wooden table, the more turbulent her mind became. Memories of drunkenness should be blurry, almost nothing is clear, all that is left is feelings. And every time I enter the wine cellar, there is a floral fragrance between the dense wood-like flavors, all kinds of fruity flavors, white chocolate flavors, sugar flavors, and wine flavors. If you smell it closely, you won't be able to tell it.
Ye Moli said that she had a psychological effect, because the incense that George blended out did not have any flowers. Moreover, his nose is as smart as that of a dog, and he has never smelled flowers.
Shui Qing generally accepted such a statement. She believed something had happened the night she was drunk, but she couldn't go back.
Walked into the innermost tasting room and saw George them. The three of them were speaking English and Chinese, speaking very quickly, and they all seemed to be a little excited. Mother Sun may have tried too much wine, and her face was flushed.
"Green." The bearded George grinned, "Just in time." ”
Ye Moli ran towards her, swaying a small half glass of red wine in his hand, and slid across the crystal cup, and the dripping marks were gone.
"They all say that I came well, and today is a good day to go out." Shui Qing smiled. It's good to go out, but what happens is not so good.
Along the way, I met an out-of-character cicada, a strange Xu Ran, and caught up with Qin Yu's last day.
