Shao Chengzhi met Ling Ran because of Wang Xia.

Wang Xia and Ling Ran are undergraduate classmates of the School of Economics and Management of the National People's University, and they are roommates who have lived in the same dormitory for four years

It was the first day of the National Day holiday in 2007. Beijing's 11th day is actually not very cold, but it is said that an air mass is forming in Siberia, and it will soon be moving south. So Wang Xia called, all kinds of hush and warm, all kinds of care, and finally, Wang Xia said: "Chengzhi, there is a newly opened outlet outside the Sixth Ring Road, not far from your company, not many people know it, they are all specialty stores, I will accompany you to buy clothes on the eleventh." ”

For this kind of opportunity to be alone with Wang Xia, Shao Chengzhi has always been rational and tried his best to push and retreat, but he is really short of clothes - Shao Chengzhi has spent the past 6 years in California, USA, a T-shirt and jeans all year round, if California has four seasons a year. Six months ago, when Shao Chengzhi returned to Beijing, a large suitcase was stuffed into all his belongings. At that time, it was not cold in Beijing, the problem was that the people in the Beijing branch were dressed like dogs at work, in short, the cold snap was coming, and Shao Chengzhi was seriously short of clothes and less clothes. So, Shao Chengzhi unprincipledly agreed to Meimei to accompany him to buy clothes, including ck, how easy it is for men to be undisciplined because of a little.

The location of the outlet is remote, and it is newly opened, the salesman is more than the person who visits the mall, the things are not expensive, the service attitude is very good, less than one o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Chengzhi and Wang Xia took the escalator down with a large bag. Shao Chengzhi was standing there, his eyes behind the glasses were looking around blankly, one ear in and one ear out to listen to Wang Xia's various concerns about him, and on the other side of the escalator, a pair of men and women were carrying large bags and small bags up the escalator.

Shao Chengzhi's gaze couldn't help but be attracted by the woman's slender back. The girl was wearing a black tight-fitting fashion skirt, tall, with outstanding measurements, sexy-sensual and charming, her hair was long above her waist, and she was tucked behind her head with a circle of small braids that were braided along the sideburns, and she was hanging loosely. Shao Chengzhi seemed to see the ends of his hair fluttering slightly.

The woman stood two steps higher than the man, and at this moment she was turning to face the man, and was talking with a little annoyance: "How many times have I told you, you are busy with yours, don't come to accompany me again." It's been a few days since I've been back, you come to accompany me every day, you're not tired, I haven't had a jet lag, I'm still tired. I'm really weird, you official apes, why are you so empty every day, you don't have to go to work, you don't go to work and your salary is still paid."

The girl has an obvious southern accent, the front note is clear and charming, the back note is tactful and soft, the tail note drags on for a long time, disappearing in the air vaguely, every syllable of each sentence is undulating and melodious, Shao Chengzhi feels that he has never heard such a pleasant sound, but what is more special is the tone and tone of her speech, which is obviously angry, but it seems to be coquettish in her ears.

Shao Chengzhi's first reaction was: Damn, when a beautiful woman talks like this, is she rejecting a man, or is she seducing a man!

The man whispered his defense: "It's not eleven today, and I don't go to work"

Wang Xia suddenly shouted: "Ling Ran, Qi Junyi, is it you?" Ling Ran, you are returning to China, why don't you inform everyone about it." ”

A man and a woman immediately turned their heads, and the three of them let out an excited shout together. The two escalators were crossing at the moment, and the man and woman glanced at each other, hurriedly ran down in reverse, and joined Wang Xia and Shao Chengzhi at the bottom of the escalator. In the next five minutes, Ling Ran and Wang Xia chatted excitedly, and Qi Junyi and Shao Chengzhi politely greeted each other.

After the two women were lively, Wang Xia remembered to introduce the two classmates: "This is Shao Chengzhi, a fellow from the same county as me." Wang Xia accentuated her tone with the words "the same county" and "fellow countryman", and leaned slightly towards Shao Chengzhi.

When Ling Ran glanced at it just now, she thought that Shao Chengzhi was Wang Xia's husband, or at least her boyfriend, but at this moment, when she heard Wang Xia emphasize it so specially, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, raised her eyes and looked at Shao Chengzhi carefully for two seconds - about 30 years old, medium build, not tall and thin, slightly dark skin, Chinese character face shape, good facial features, not eye-catching at first glance, not tall enough and not handsome enough, look carefully, but quite temperamental, stylish. In addition, the shirt is straight, the trouser line is straight, the hair is not messy, he wears a pair of half-rimmed glasses, he stands with his back straight, full of energy, and his expression is indifferent

Ling Ran thought to herself: This man looks like he has been labeled as an elite of a multinational company, why does Wang Xia want to post it so enthusiastically?

Ling Ran suddenly found that Shao Chengzhi was wearing a polo plaid long-sleeved shirt, and the pants were also polo casual pants, and the frame of the glasses was very delicate, and it should also be a big brand - Nima, China's luxury import tariff

Ling Ran's first impression of Shao Chengzhi was: This man is young and average-looking, but he may not be ordinary.

Shao Chengzhi was suddenly a little embarrassed.

The three college classmates exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Shao Chengzhi has always been silent, so he stood aside and listened to their politeness. A few minutes later, Ling Ran asked, "Have you had lunch?" No, we don't have either, let's go, let's eat together, I'll please." ”

Qi Junyi and Wang Xia shouted together: "Then what's the matter, you just returned to China, of course I invited." ”

Ling Ran smiled: "That's okay, the head of the Taxation Bureau, Qi Da, is invited, everyone eats him for nothing, don't eat for nothing, don't eat for nothing, don't eat sorry for the so many taxes you pay." ”

Qi Junyi smiled: "Please, not a penny of the taxes you paid went into my pocket." ”

The four of them laughed and returned to the fifth floor of the mall, and looked at each other. Wang Xia wants to take everyone to Pizza Hut: "Ling Ran, they all say that China's Pizza Hut tastes different from the United States. ”

"Pizza, isn't it just a stuffing spread on top of the flatbread and baked, no matter how different it is, how different can it be? Ling Ran said with a smile, but thought in her heart: Eat fart cakes? Please eat fart cakes for classmates who have been in the United States for five years? Wang Xia, you are really as simple as you were back then.

Shao Chengzhi said sullenly on the side: "There is a Huaiyang restaurant over there, let's go there and eat." ”

Ling Ran couldn't help but glance at Shao Chengzhi again.

Ling Ran's second impression of Shao Chengzhi: How does he know my taste? This man looks wooden, but he is very observant.

In fact, Shao Chengzhi is not only observant, but also has good insight.

The entire outlet mall was crowded, and the restaurant was naturally more empty, and the waiter led them to a four-person private seat. While sitting and waiting for the food to be served, Shao Chengzhi had already discovered that although the three of them were just like old classmates meeting and reuniting, they were actually not close to each other, they had not been in touch for many years, and they didn't know anything about each other's recent situation.

Ling Ran seemed to be full of spring breeze and enthusiasm, but in fact, she was neither interested nor impatient with this chance dinner, which can be seen from the boring turning of chopsticks with her fingers while answering Wang Xia's various probing questions. Shao Chengzhi could almost hear Ling Ran's brain waves saying: Time is so precious, why am I so unlucky.

That Qi Junyi was beside him with a look of love and distress, but he obviously didn't know which direction to go. If it weren't for being too unfamiliar, Shao Chengzhi really wanted to tell him the ending: no play.

But Shao Chengzhi is somewhat strange about Wang Xia's performance today -- in Shao Chengzhi's eyes, Wang Xia is a person who is not very sensitive to other people's minds, whether it is explicit or hinted, she has very little reaction; but Wang Xia, as a woman, is not too gossipy, because except for TV series, I don't see how much interest and concern she has in people and things.

Shao Chengzhi stuffed all kinds of seasonal vegetables and meat into his mouth, and at the same time listened to Wang Xiadong asking all kinds of nonsense with a hammer and a mallet: Ling Ran, after you left China, have you kept in touch with any of your classmates? Really haven't you ever contacted any of them? Then you haven't heard any information from China? You have been back for a few days, and you have not contacted any classmates and acquaintances

Ling Ran talked about it left and right, but after chatting for a few words, Wang Xia would pull the topic back and continue to ask.

Shao Chengzhi couldn't help but be curious: What did she want to know so much that she didn't know she was in the two hundred and five?

Ling Ran began to get impatient—didn't she just want to ask me if I knew if I was being played by Ye Lingbai in those years. Well, the old virgin listened to the former school flower tell how she was abandoned by men, and suddenly felt a breeze coming, and the grass grew and bloomed, this mentality is completely understandable, I satisfy you
