CH.10 Dinner for Four (3)
The time came to half past six in the evening.
Wen Liang was busy in the kitchen, and He Tianran sat at the dining table.
In this short day, he saw Jiang Xixi, Boss Park, the warmth and coolness that he had never forgotten in his heart, and he was also hovering in front of him at this moment.
And the next thing he has to face is an old classmate who has no intersection with him, no feelings, and is even about to get married, Cao Aiqing.
The young man He Tianran is undoubtedly a man of action, but after encountering so many future events in this short day, he doesn't know if he can maintain the calm in his plan for the next dinner.
Wen Liang walked out of the kitchen with a plate, she could see He Tianran's crampedness at a glance, after tidying up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, she took out her hand and took an empty bowl, filled a bowl of fragrant chicken soup and brought it to the boy.
"Taste it and see if it tastes good." The woman's eyes were filled with anticipation.
After He Tianran took it, he put it to his mouth and blew it, the thick soup entered his throat, the delicious and mellow taste echoed in his mouth, he smashed his mouth, and drank it again.
This move should be the best answer.
"It's a little hot now, so if you can't finish it, put it aside and wait until it's cooler before drinking." Wen Liang reminded with a smile.
He Tianran wiped his mouth and asked, "Am I a little too nervous?" ”
Wen Liang moved his chin slightly, "It's a little, if you don't know how to speak, I'll help you in time." ”
The boy placed the bowl on the table beside him, pretending to be relaxed, "It's not like that, it's just a meal." ”
The corners of the woman's mouth raised a beautiful arc, "I hope so." ”
"Ding Dong~"
At this moment, the doorbell rang, and He Tianran, who had just finished speaking, suddenly shook his body, presumably Guo Huai and Cao Aiqing had arrived, Wen Liang turned around and wanted to open the door, but was pulled by the boy.
"I'll go......"
Walking to the door, He Tianran took a long breath and slowly opened the door.
Outside the door, the young Guo Huai looked elated, he had a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his hair was neatly combed, and the casual shirt on his body was not considered to be outdated, but it also looked like a gentleman, and the maturity and cheerfulness on his face made He Tianran not match the Guo Huai in his memory for a while.
And when the other party saw He Tianran, he also froze a smile on his face.
"You...... Wow...... Lao He, no wonder you haven't contacted me for so long, you have gone to plastic surgery in the past six months! ”
"yes, it feels like a high school student."
At this time, a familiar female voice sounded behind Guo Huai, and then a figure slowly walked to Guo Huai's side.
He Tianran's gaze shifted, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw Cao Aiqing in this world.
The image of innocence and delicate in the impression is no longer there, the blue and white school uniform has been replaced by a simple lady's suit, she has medium-long hair, stepping on high heels, and her delicate facial features have changed from the gentleness revealed in the past, the light mature woman Cao Aiqing in front of her, between her eyebrows has become more aggressive, she is still so beautiful, thirteen years of time have not affected her at all, but this invisibly, the sense of estrangement that rejects people thousands of miles away, especially better than before.
She also seemed to have put on a little lipstick, and He Tianran was not sure.
Because in his eyes, this Cao Aiqing is black and white.
On the contrary, it was Guo Huai, who he was not familiar with, but his body was full of color.
Seeing He Tianran looking at Cao Aiqing and not speaking, Guo Huai was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, when he saw Wen Liang, who was wearing an apron, walking out of the kitchen, and shouted enthusiastically to the three people at the door:
"What are you doing standing in the doorway? Come in! ”
Cao Aiqing looked at him when she heard this, and when she saw Wen Liang, the surprise in her eyes flashed, He Tianran subconsciously let go, Cao Aiqing smiled politely at him, and took the lead in walking into the house from in front of him.
Guo Huai didn't rush in, he stayed at the door with a look of disbelief at first, and then said with great relief: "Lao He, have you finally figured it out?" ”
He Tianran was confused, but the young man who was already mentally prepared immediately calmed down, he smiled, stared at the pocket in the other party's hand, and asked, "What did you bring?" ”
"Isn't this married, I have to bring you a copy if you like wine and cigarettes."
As a young man, this kind of social atmosphere is the first time he has encountered it, after taking it, the two of them entered the house, He Tianran was trying to put things in the corner, or warm and quick-eyed, naturally took it, opened it and looked, sure enough, there were some candy inside, as well as a bottle of red wine and a cigarette.
"Huh~ Big star, long time no see! If I had known that the address Lao He said was your house, I would have to have a good meal when I came over, you made all these dishes? I can't see it, it's a good craft! ”
Guo Huai looked at the table full of dishes and praised.
Wen Liang took out the wine decanter from the kitchen, poured the red wine, and said with a smile:
"Isn't it rare to get together once, and it should also be a celebration of your marriage to Ai Qing, Guo Huai, you are not from Jiangsu, come and see if this Huaiyang dish is done right, I will make it according to your taste."
"Really? Wow, then I've got to take a good look. ”
Guo Huai trotted all the way and followed Wen Liang into the kitchen, and before the woman entered the kitchen, she turned her head and winked at He Tianran.
The young man realized that she was creating an opportunity for herself and Cao Aiqing to be alone.
At this moment, Cao Aiqing is in a daze in front of a photo in the living room.
He Tianran stepped forward and followed her line of sight.
It was a graduation photo of the second class of the senior high school of Gangcheng Middle School thirteen years ago, He Tianran was very impressed by this photo, after all, for him, this photo was taken last month, but he obviously remembered that Wen Liang had already returned to Chongqing to take the college entrance examination at this time, and there should be no such photo.
In the photo, Cao Aiqing is in the center of the photo, as if the stars are holding the moon, and He Tianran is on the far left of the last row, and Guo Huai is standing next to him.
"You look like you were back then...... However, it doesn't feel the same......"
Cao Aiqing pointed to the inconspicuous teenager in the photo.
Can this be the same, in my timeline, when I took this picture, I was secretly holding your hand.
He Tianran sneered, his face was as usual, and he joked with something in his words: "Isn't this very good, people are alive and alive again." ”
Originally, he thought that Cao Aiqing should smile when he heard this, but he didn't know that the other party had no intention of smiling, but instead looked at him strangely, this kind of look ...... It's like ......
I dislike his statement.
"You did make it back alive, but...... It's not good. ”
Cao Aiqing stopped looking at the photos and turned around and walked to the balcony.
He Tianran stood in place, watching her hands propped up on the guardrail left and right, and the sea and sky in the distance seemed to merge with her, black and white.
The young man had never seen Cao Aiqing like this, he walked over slowly, and before he could think about what to say, the other party opened his mouth first.
"Hey, He ...... Nature"
"What's wrong?"
"Give me a cigarette."
It's later, sorry.
