In Guo Huai's eyes, this meal is the happiest meal he has eaten in recent years.

may be because of love, the best friend he has known since high school in front of him is surprisingly cheerful and talkative at this moment, this is the confident appearance that He Tianran has never shown, in the cup change, Guo Huai unconsciously chatted about many old things.

"Lao He, do you remember, there was a school bully named Xue Yong in our class at that time, he always looked at us unpleasantly, so he also gave us a nickname, called 'Hum Ha Erjun' to metaphor that we can't speak, sarcastic usually we will only come out word by word, now it's quite funny to think about it."

Hearing the name of an old acquaintance, He Tianran smiled heartily, Xue Yong really did this, he asked:

"Then this Xue Yong, how is it now?"

"Who knows, I only know that he was expelled in the second semester of his third year of high school, didn't he hear that there was a fight outside the school, it was quite a big trouble at the time, and his rich man couldn't keep him." Guo Huai touched the cup with He Tianran.

Expelled?

He Tianran was stunned, it seemed that this was also part of his own influence.

Since Xue Yong made friends with himself and Cao Aiqing, he has been studying very hard under the promotion of Bai Tingting, especially in the second semester, sometimes even He Tianran is ashamed of his hard work.

"Xue Yong's father's seafood company closed down because of poor management, and he himself lost his family's savings because of gambling addiction, he divorced two years ago, and you should know his wife, who was a girl named Ye Jiaqi in our class in the past......"

Hearing the two men mention this name, Wen Liang's attention was slightly withdrawn from He Tianran's body for a moment, and he added with a little embarrassment.

Seeing that the three of them looked at him together, Wen Liang explained again:

"He used to be my father's apprentice, and when he was in high school, he would often come to my father's gym to practice, and later my father found out about it, and he regretted it for a long time, so he also found someone to arrange a job for him as a security guard."

"According to me, such a person is not worthy of pity, but is all his own iniquity."

Guo Huai said disdainfully, his expression fierce.

"You're drunk."

Cao Aiqing silently removed his wine glass beside him.

"Nope!" Guo Huai snatched the wine glass again, poured the wine by himself, and said with a red face: "Today I only learned the ending of this kid from Wen Daxing's mouth, so happy!" Think about his arrogant and domineering appearance at school at the beginning, and then look at the field he has landed now, it is really good and evil will be rewarded in the end, don't you say, Lao He? ”

He Tianran can see that he and Guo Huai are the second generals, they are simply a mutual aid association for the weak, and they are like a group for warmth.

In desperation, he and Guo Huai clinked glasses again, and Cao Aiqing saw it in his eyes and sneered.

"Not all wicked people will have karma, and some people will not live well?"

He Tianran's hand holding the wine glass stiffened in mid-air, and the air on the dining table froze for a while.

Everyone heard the meaning of this sentence, Wen Liang on the side unconsciously lowered his head, Guo Huai was even more frightened by Cao Aiqing's words and woke up most of the wine, and hurriedly played the round:

"Ai Qing, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Aiqing suddenly burst into a smile.

"I didn't say anything about Lao He and Ah Liang, they are a natural couple, of course an exception."

He Tianran was very puzzled, so he listened to Guo Huai's empathy: "Ai Qing, things have passed for so long, you see that Lao He and they can release their suspicions in this file, and in the end it has become a happy event, so don't worry about the past." ”

Why did it get to me and Wen Liang again?

He Tianran thought secretly, he recalled repeatedly, it seemed that the prank thirteen years ago had nothing to do with Ai Qing, but she had changed too much in this world, and through the previous conversation, the young man could see that she had a lot of hostility towards Wen Liang.

And this hostility is definitely not because of He Tianran.

The boy can imagine what kind of bird he looked like in this world before he changed, if he hasn't grown up a little in the past thirteen years, no matter how much he likes Cao Aiqing, it can only be a secret love hidden deep in his heart, not to mention that she is about to marry Guo Huai, which is the best proof.

What He Tianran said to Wen Liang was exactly what the boy deliberately did after listening to Cao Aiqing's speculation about the relationship between the two of them, which of course contained true feelings, but part of the factor was that He Tianran didn't want Cao Aiqing to have malicious intentions towards him or Wen Liang.

Or this kind of thing should not have happened to the innocent Cao Aiqing.

What has she experienced over the years?

Cao Aiqing looked at Guo Huai seriously for a few seconds, without making noise or refuting, she just looked away, stared at the remaining red wine in her cup, and then raised her long neck and drank the wine in the cup.

At this moment, she is like a proud swan, with the beauty and loneliness of her independence.

Then, she nodded very gregariously, "Well, I saw Lao He and them have such a good ending, and I had a lot of emotions for a while, congratulations, Lao He, Ah Liang." ”

Guo Huai was immediately relieved when he saw Cao Aiqing's move, he patted the back of his head, refilled the wine, and said happily:

"That's right, Ai Qing, when we finish the wedding, I'll ask the school for a marriage leave, and then we'll go out for a walk together."

The woman just smiled at this and nodded.

Yes, she's testing your reaction, not trying to let you take her out for a walk!

He Tianran shouted frantically in his heart, he was really shocked by Guo Huai's low EQ.

Cao Aiqing's character of liking to hide his mind is very clear, in his own world, the Ai Qing who belongs to him now likes to confide in him, firstly, because they are a couple, they don't have to worry a lot, and secondly, both of them have strong sympathy ability, and they can know each other's emotions with a subtle action, so it is better to say it and share happiness or bear sadness together.

However, not all of them are He Tianran.

So Cao Aiqing in this world, in the face of a Guo Huai who doesn't understand herself, she is destined to bear many things alone.

After this incident, the meal became a little boring.

Although Guo Huai was very attentive to Cao Aiqing during the period, and his gestures also proved that he really loved the other party, He could still see that Cao Aiqing in this world had a lot of things in his heart.

She was obviously laughing, but it made He Tianran feel very depressed.

A meal, back and forth for three hours.

He Tianran supported Guo Huai, who was a little drunk and unconscious, and Cao Aiqing walked in front and pressed the elevator.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him so happy."

The cold woman looked at Guo Huai and showed a gentle smile after a long absence.

He Tianran patted Guo Huai's face and said:

"Hey, Guo Huai, wake up, open your dog eyes and see clearly, Cao Aiqing at this time is the best-looking, don't let her keep a straight face."

Cao Aiqing was stunned.

"The action is a joke, but that's not what I'm saying."

He Tianran had a smirk on his face, rubbed it where he had slapped Guo Huai just now, and the drunk man muttered a few words and continued to fall asleep.

Ding dong~

The elevator arrived.

The three of them got out of the basement and came to an Audi, Cao Aiqing placed Guo Huai in the back seat, opened the door and was about to sit in the driver's seat.

He Tianran suddenly asked, "Don't you want to have a wedding?" ”

Cao Aiqing didn't react: "What? ”

"Safety first, you've also drunk, call a substitute driver."

"No, I didn't drink much ......"

He Tianran didn't persuade much, he directly opened the passenger driver's door and sat in, he hugged his hands like an uncle.

"Come, I'll accompany you here and wait for the substitute driver."

Cao Aiqing was helpless, sat in the car, and really called the substitute driver.

The woman adjusted the rearview mirror, and in the mirror, a pair of eyes glanced at the position of the passenger seat inadvertently, then opened the armrest cabinet and took out a bag of mint Marlboro from it.

"You...... Really quit? Cao Aiqing asked.

The fact that He Tianran is an old smoking gun is known to those who know him.

Sure enough, he took the cigarette case.

Cao Aiqing sneered in her heart, just when she thought that He Tianran was just pretending to be affectionate in Wen Liang's house, she didn't expect this guy to put the cigarette directly into her pocket, and then continued to wrap her hands around, it seems that she didn't plan to take it out.

“……”

"Tsk...... Eat this. ”

He Tianran couldn't stand Cao Aiqing's gaze, and took out two more candies from his pocket.

Cao Aiqing didn't answer this time, she said coldly: "You are not naïve." ”

He Tianran was not angry, took out the cigarette case, and handed it over.

Cao Aiqing was about to reach out to take it, but He Tianran suddenly said lightly: "Think about it clearly, have you forgotten how your grandfather died?" ”

"How do you know...... What did Guo Huai tell you? ”

The woman's white hand hovered in midair.

The cigarette case within reach was taken back, and this time a piece of candy was forced into his hand, and the three words that He Tianran repeated again in his ears were in his ears.

"Eat this." His tone was unusually tough.

Looking at the candy in her hand, the woman was stunned.

"If it weren't for your name being 'Cao Aiqing', I wouldn't have bothered to care about you."

A whisper of complaint interrupted the woman's thoughts.

"What is ...... My name is Cao Aiqing? She looked up, puzzled.

"It's nothing, the substitute driver is here, I'm going up."

He Tianran opened the car door, Cao Aiqing looked at the entrance of the basement, and sure enough, the figure of a substitute driver master was slowly rushing over here.

"Wait a minute, He Tianran......" In the car, Cao Aiqing rolled down the window and stopped the man who wanted to leave in a hurry, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you still use that phone before?" Lao Guo said that you have changed your new number......"

Previous calls?

The one you've used since high school?

“…… No, stop fighting. ”

He Tianran dropped a sentence and went upstairs.

……

……

On the way home, Cao Aiqing sat in the passenger seat, and the neon of the city outside the window reflected on her face reflected in the car window, there was a psychedelic texture of beauty.

Behind him, Guo Huai heard a subtle voice.

In the rearview mirror, the substitute driver's vision of peeking at the woman flashed.

Cao Aiqing glanced at him coldly, and the middle-aged man who was driving for him suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles.

Wu flipped through his mobile phone, and in the communication bar, he found He Tianran's name.

In recent years, she has been in contact with He Tianran less and less, especially after going abroad, and almost forgot that there is such a person.

When did you save his phone number?

By the way, it was when I was in high school.

It's really ...... It's a long time ago.

Thinking about it, Cao Aiqing clicked delete, and after the confirmation interface popped up, her fingers suddenly froze......

The woman pondered for a moment, as if to confirm some of her thoughts, and after she canceled the deletion, she chose to call it by mistake......

The phone rang, Cao Aiqing put the phone to his ear and waited quietly.

After five or six beeps in the earpiece, no one answered, it seemed that he was thinking too much, Cao Aiqing smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to hang up the phone.

"Hey, Ai Qing."

At this moment, a voice that seemed a little excited suddenly came from the microphone.

"Congratulations...... Natural? ”

Cao Aiqing wasn't sure.

"It's me! Why did you suddenly think of contacting me? That's right...... I forgot to tell you, I wish you a happy wedding with Lao Guo! ”
