Chapter 11: Descending the Mountain

"Fight the dragon, fight the dragon, fight the dragon, fight the dragon and fight the ......"

The melodious phone rang, Ning Xiu rubbed his eyes, reached out and took the mobile phone from the bedside, the caller ID was Dong Xiaojie, his high school classmate, but he hadn't been in touch for many years after graduation.

"Hey. Ning Xiu picked up the phone.

"Why, listening to your tone, it doesn't seem that I am an old classmate, my handsome fellow of Ning University. ”

Dong Xiaojie's voice is very sweet, and there is a bit of laziness unique to women. In Ning Xiu's impression, this is a very shrewd and beautiful woman. Needless to say, I heard that within two years of graduating from university, I had been promoted to department manager in a well-known company in a place with extraordinary means.

It can be said that Dong Xiaojie and Ning Xiu are basically people in two life circles, and he really can't imagine that the other party will find him something, and he doesn't know how to respond for a while.

The scene almost fell into an embarrassing situation for a while, and at this time, Dong Xiaojie's excellent communication skills could be seen.

"Okay, I know that Ning Da handsome guy is thin-skinned, so I won't joke with you. ”

Pleasant laughter comes from the other end of the phone, and it's easy to close the distance.

"I heard that you are coming to Hangzhou, and there will be a class reunion in the garden restaurant in the city tomorrow, and the students from the surrounding areas will come. Little sister, I am entrusted by others, and I specially invite you to participate, will the handsome guy Ning not give me this face. ”

Ning Xiu wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but after listening to the other party's words, he said: "How can the old classmate not go if he wants to invite." ”

"Well, tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, the garden restaurant will be gone. ”

"No see, no more. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ning Xiu glanced at the time displayed on his phone, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

As usual, no matter how late he slept the night before, he must have gotten up at 6 a.m. I didn't expect this habit that had been maintained for several years to be broken last night, and it seemed that the Xuanguang illusion last night really made him tired.

After getting up and washing up casually, Ning Xiu changed into a blue shirt and a light blue casual denim, locked the gate of the Taoist temple, and prepared to go down the mountain.

Even if there was no phone call from Fang Cai, Ning Xiu was ready to go down the mountain today.

According to Xiao Zhu's instructions, Wanbaoge's site in Hangzhou is in the city, and if he remembers correctly, it is near the Garden Restaurant.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, Ning Xiu still remembers the scene when he went up the mountain yesterday, and he was tired enough.

But going down the mountain today is a different scenery.

He felt that the sky was bluer, the trees were greener, and even the chirping of birds was particularly pleasant. What's even more peculiar is that he didn't feel tired at all, looking at the brand-new asphalt road that slowly appeared in front of him, and before he knew it, he had walked for more than an hour.

It's midday, the hottest time of the day.

The sun is scorching, the highway is hot, and when you walk on the road, you can feel the oncoming wind like a heat wave at any time.

At this point, there are very few vehicles coming and going on the road, let alone people.

Ning Xiu stood under the shade of the trees on the side of the road and waited quietly for the taxi, it was still some distance from the city, it was obviously impossible for him to walk, and his heart was repeatedly thinking about the precautions that Xiao Zhu had told him about Wanbao Pavilion.

Toot toot~

The shrill sound of a horn interrupted Ning Xiu's train of thought, and he looked up to see a Honda parked in front of him.

The windows rolled down to reveal a beautiful and delicate face.

"Yo, I can't imagine that we are really fated, we just finished talking on the phone, and now we will meet immediately. ”

The person in the car was Dong Xiaojie, and after graduating for so many years, this was the first time Ning Xiu and her had met. Miss Dong is still as beautiful as he remembers, but she can no longer find the slightest immaturity in her face. A decent black T-shirt with clean and refreshing skinny denim shows off her fiery figure.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing, handsome guy Ning?" Miss Dong opened the car door, stood in front of Ning Xiu, casually stroked her long black and bright hair, and said with a smile.

"It's fine. Ning Xiu touched his nose, as if he couldn't bear the other party's enthusiasm.

"That's right, Ning Xiu was once a man of the year in our school, how can he have a bad time, but I don't know where he is now?"

Ning Xiu looked up when he heard the voice, and he happened to meet the eyes of the other person in the car.

Huang Hao is also his former classmate.

It is not difficult to hear from the tone in which he just spoke that the relationship with Ning Xiu is not harmonious. Of course, it was completely his unilateral intention, because Ning Xiu had never been indifferent to him. Over the years, Ning Xiu has also heard some news about him from his classmates. After graduating from university, with the help of his family, he entered a large state-owned enterprise, and now he is also mixed in the middle level.

"I just quit my job from the company and am now unemployed at home. Ning Xiu did not salty or lightly replied.

"That is, how can ordinary companies be worthy of you, it's good to come out, I happen to plan to start a business this year. Although Huang Hao said this, the mocking look on his face was not concealed at all.

With Dong Xiaojie's intelligence, she could naturally feel the atmosphere in front of her, and even more unpleasant things would inevitably appear, she smiled: "Okay, let's talk about it when everyone gathers in the evening, since we have met, let's take Huang Hao's car and go together." ”

Without waiting for Ning Xiu to speak, Huang Hao interjected directly: "Old classmate, I'm really embarrassed. I've made an appointment with two other classmates and have to pick them up, and there are not enough places in the car......"

"In that case, then you go first, and I will be on time for the evening meeting. Ning Xiu said.

Is that ridiculous self-esteem of men......

Miss Dong looked at Ning Xiu's indifferent face and sighed slowly in her heart.

The reason why she said this was that one was to resolve the relationship between Ning Xiu and Huang Hao, and the other was a hot day of 39 degrees Celsius, and it was a little unbearable to see Ning Xiu standing on the road waiting for a taxi.

But now that she heard Ning Xiu's answer, she was still a little disappointed in her heart, she had seen too many people like Ning Xiu in society over the years, so she really couldn't imagine why that person would always look up to him.

After expressing her apologies, Dong Xiaojie got into Huang Hao's car.

The moment the car window was raised, Ning Xiu vaguely heard Huang Hao's disdainful ridicule: "It's a hot day, and it's in the suburbs, it's strange to be able to wait for the car, but don't faint from heat stroke at that time." ”

Ning Xiu stood in place, looking at the departing vehicle, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.
