Chapter III: Crisis Suspended
"Kong Ling, I learned from Qian Sha that you are a primary school English teacher, and my son is in the sixth grade of primary school, and his English is not very good, so I would like to ask you to tutor me. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Your mobile phone number was also provided to me by her. You see, I had come so far from L City for a class reunion, and I had already arrived at Gloria. I heard that your home is not far from here, why haven't you arrived yet? Many of our classmates have come to the Gloria 212 Fanghua Hall. "I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon, old classmate, I'll see you later."
Putting down the phone, Kong Ling was sweating nervously and excitedly, and he didn't know why he had made up his mind not to go to the party before, but he promised Liu Yi "I'll be there soon." "What the hell is wrong with me, how can this be? Is it that he is still subconsciously eager to meet his crush male god, how can he see people like this?
After struggling for a long time, Kong Ling made a decision for himself: "Go!" "Anyway, I'm used to it, and I haven't thought about the scenery, and I'm still ordinary to attend a class reunion after more than 20 years, so what can I do. Classmates recognize it, or if they don't recognize it, why not observe and appreciate the original male god by yourself. Once he made up his mind, Kong Ling was also a sharp person. Jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom to put on light makeup, changed into his favorite silk dress with lotus leaves, put on white stiletto sandals, held a white handbag, looked in the mirror before going out, felt satisfied, and walked out of the house. Before going out, the two children had already finished dinner, and Kong Ling told them to do their homework for an hour, so that they could watch TV for a while, wash up and rest, and not exceed 10 o'clock.
It was the beginning of autumn, and the weather was not as hot as when I went out from the microfinance company in the afternoon, and there was a breeze mixed with the aroma of wild grass and wild flowers in the community. Kong Ling took a deep breath, swept away the previous aura of despair, and even a little excitement rose in his heart. I feel that my body is not as heavy as when I went upstairs before, and it is much lighter.
Walking generally out of the door of the community, after a traffic light intersection, turn right, is the "Jing Garden", this is a small park for people in the nearby community to rest and exercise, there are many people who have had dinner early and exercised in the Jing Garden. Usually, Kong Ling will go to this garden in the morning and evening to take a walk and read books. Kong Ling chose a quiet path, aware of his breathing, very soothing and calm. I don't want to think about what to say when I meet my old classmates who I haven't seen for many years, and how to say hello when I see Liu Yi, anyway, just be an ordinary self. I want to try the feeling of "living in the present" that is often advocated in the growth of body, mind and spirit, without regretting the past and worrying about the future.
Cross the park and cross another road to the Gloria Plaza Hotel.
The Gloria Hall is large enough to fit up to three tables. Kong Ling calmly climbed to the second floor and found the Fanghua Hall without difficulty, and used to come to this hotel when he used to gather with friends and colleagues. The door of Fanghua Hall was slightly open, waiting for the arrival of students one after another. Kong Linggang gently pushed open the door, and was immediately pulled over by Qian Sha, who rushed forward, "Come to my table, get to know the classmates at this table first." Some of the other students at the second table also came over to say hello, and they were indeed unfamiliar faces. When Kong Ling came back to her senses, she had been pressed by Qian Sha on a chair near the window, with Qian Sha on the left and Liu Yi on the right who was looking at her with a smile. When Liu Yi saw Kong Ling sitting down, he stood up and stretched out his right hand, seeing Liu Yi get up to shake hands with him, Kong Ling also hurriedly stood up and stretched out his right hand a little eagerly. "You're finally here!" Liu Yi said with a little teasing. Kong Ling's cultivation skills along the way were all lost--pay attention to the breathing, notice the calmness and soothing brought by the breath, and there was no trace of it for a moment, the tip of his nose was still sweating slightly, bowing slightly, Kong Ling replied softly, "Sorry, let everyone wait for a long time!" "Liu Yi's hands are white and slender, and they feel softer than a woman's hand when they hold it.
After Kong Ling sat down, Liu Yi did not sit down, but shook hands with all the classmates present one by one and greeted him. Dressed in a light gray shirt and black trousers, Liu Yi has a slender figure, a free and easy expression, and an outstanding temperament, which really overshadows other male classmates. Kong Ling admired Liu Yi a lot, but because of the presence of many classmates, he couldn't keep his eyes on others, which made Kong Ling uncomfortable, so he had to look at the other old classmates who shook hands with Liu Yi and focused on getting to know them again.
There are three female classmates and six male classmates, including Qian Sha, who is at the same table as Kong Ling. The two female classmates drank red wine, and the other male classmates drank white wine. Both Kong Ling and Qian Sha can drink liquor. Kong Ling likes to drink liquor very much, but she can't drink too much, and she will get drunk after more than two glasses, but Qian Sha is quite able to drink, and it is difficult for her to get drunk with a pound of wine. On this occasion tonight, Kong Ling really wanted to get drunk. When Liu Yi asked her if she could drink baijiu, Kong Ling nodded, meaning that she could drink baijiu with her male classmates. They drank the "Dream Blue" that Kong Ling had never drunk, and she had only drunk the "Sea Blue". She really wanted to get herself drunk with "Dream Blue", and she really wanted to say something to Liu Yi to admire him through the wine. Although Kong Ling is nearly forty years old, her personality is still extremely introverted, and it is very difficult for her to show favor to others or say something appreciative.
During the staggered planning, Kong Ling learned from her classmates that Liu Yi, the classmate she once had a crush on, is now a young and promising deputy mayor in charge of education in L City, and his political career is smooth sailing. And other classmates, from all walks of life, ordinary elementary school teachers like her are indeed too inconspicuous in this group of students.
After drinking it with her classmates, Kong Ling felt a little dizzy in her head and a little fluttering in her body, but this feeling was wonderful and made her feel very relaxed. Liu Yi went to another table to catch up with other classmates, Qian Sha drank with everyone very proudly, each drank two glasses, the cups were dried, and the more they drank, the more courageous they became, the male classmates were all scared by her, and they left the table and went to other tables. And Chansha simply raised her glass and followed to the other tables. The other two female classmates also left the table and went to talk to other classmates.
Kong Ling enjoys the current state of solitude, no annoyance, no sorrow, no worries, her head is dizzy, her body is light and fluttering, all the troubles in reality are far away from her, her current state is like a fairy, supporting her forehead with her hands, occasionally raising her head, but her hands are not lowered, her eyes are blurred, chasing her through her fingers to admire her crush. She didn't want to get up to catch up with other classmates, she came for only one reason: to admire her crush and forget about her real troubles for a while.
The person in her fingers was getting closer and closer to her, her hand supporting her forehead was gently taken away, her eyes met Lewi's concerned eyes, and she remembered Lewi's magnetic and beautiful voice in her ears, "What's wrong?" Old classmate, didn't you really drink too much? The voice seemed to come from far away, but it felt close at hand. Kong Ling shook his head slightly, his eyes were confused. "It's a good feeling, it's a good feeling...... It's been a long time since I've been so happy! Kong Ling's tongue was slightly knotted, and the words he said felt light, "I didn't drink much, I just felt happy." I'm very happy to ......" Liu Yi took her hand, made her straighten up, and asked her, "The classmates are going to the KTV on the sixth floor to sing, let's go together." "Okay, okay, sing, I'll go." Kong Ling agreed without hesitation. She likes to sing, and of course, with her kind of personality, it is unlikely that she will sing in public. In an English class, it is okay to teach children to sing English songs. Tonight, she drank just right, and when she was awake, she was easily restrained, nervous, and shy, but tonight, she could sing, and she could sing beautifully......
Liu Yi followed behind Kong Ling, observing Kong Ling's steps, and felt that she walked very lightly, not like a drunk person who walked staggeringly, it seemed that she was in good shape.
Liu Yi was the last to enter the elevator and stood on the right side of Kong Ling. Everyone rushed into the elevator, and the space was a little crowded. Liu Yi closed the door of the elevator, clicked the number six, and as soon as he turned around, he touched Kong Ling's body. Kong Ling has straight hair, straightened like many female college students, and kept it in the sea, so she looks very innocent, not like she is thirty-eight years old. Kong Ling's skin is fair, clean, and slightly fat, but not the kind of bloated fat and plump kind, but Kong Ling has always felt that he is very fat, and he has no confidence in his figure, and has made up his mind to lose weight in front of Qian Sha many times, but it has not worked. Kong Ling's hands are also white and fat, a bit like a doll's hands, soft and boneless. Liu Yi wanted to take Kong Ling's hand and experience the feeling of being soft and boneless again, but his left hand only moved, but he didn't shake it.
After everyone drank wine, they were all like children, rushing to sing, I don't know when, I don't know who ordered it, there was an English song "Yesterdayoncemore" on the screen, at this time, there were a lot fewer people scrambling, I don't know who handed the microphone to Kong Ling's hand, Kong Ling took it generously, opened his voice and sang. Kong Ling has always liked Carpenter's song, when she was in college, the department flower sang this song at a Christmas party, Kong Ling can also sing it, and she can sing it very well, but she is too ordinary and doesn't have the courage to sing it on stage. Today, with the help of "Dream Blue", it can be regarded as giving her a chance to realize her dream.
After singing the song, warm applause rang out, and the praise was endless. Kong Ling only wanted to hear a person's praise, and as a result, she got it, and Liu Yi sat next to her at some point, in her left ear, and only spoke to her alone, "You sing very well!" ”
Kong Ling felt that he was really drunk at this time......
At the end of the song, it was already eleven o'clock, and everyone dispersed. Lu Yuan booked a room directly in the hotel. Qian Sha drank a lot, and the drunkenness was deeper than Kong Ling's, and Liu Yi arranged for a female classmate to take her a taxi home. And Liu Yi personally accompanied Kong Ling home. Although Kong Ling repeatedly refused, telling him that her family lived not far away, Liu Yi still insisted on sending her to the gate of the community.
Walking into the quiet path of Jingyuan, Kong Ling felt that he was really like a fairy who had fallen into the world, with a fluttering skirt, straight hair flying, and a body so light that it didn't seem to be his own. Liu Yi followed behind Kong Ling, admiring her fluttering.
"It feels so good to be drunk, no worries at all, very happy, very happy!" Kong Ling said. "I want to be drunk and never wake up."
Liu Yi suddenly walked quickly in front of Kong Ling, took her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Kong Ling, I heard about your difficulties and problems from Qian Sha, if you want, I can help you." ”
Kong Ling looked at Liu Yi in surprise, "Did you hear that I had a problem?" I don't have any problems, it's just that my husband owes some debt. ”
Liu Yi stopped talking, silently accompanied Kong Ling to the door of the community, watched her enter the community, and turned to leave.
When he returned home, Li Sheng borrowed money outside and didn't come back yet. Kong Ling had a text message from Li Sheng on his mobile phone, "Don't wait for me, I'll go back after eating with Brother Wang." Kong Ling knew that Brother Wang was a big boss who developed real estate and was the boss of Li Sheng's Ren brothers, and hoped that he could borrow money and pay back a few credit cards tomorrow.
When he woke up the next day, Kong Ling woke up Li Sheng, who hadn't even taken a shower last night, and asked him if he had borrowed money. Li Sheng just shook his head and fell into a deep sleep again. Kong Ling opened his mobile phone and saw that there was a transfer message, and clicked on it to see that it was 100,000 yuan. The money was transferred by Liu Yi through Alipay. After the transfer message, there is another message, "I officially hired you to be my son's tutor for a long time, and this is your salary advance." Please laugh. ”
