Chapter 15: Evening Comedy (Part II)
On the rooftop, He Tianran waved chopsticks back and forth with one hand as a baton, and gestured with the other hand to put it away, leading the singing:
"Say to all the troubles—"
As soon as the chopsticks in his hand were raised, the other hand was raised, and the five fingers were one, and a group of little girls suddenly sang in unison:
“Bye Bye!”
Then he freely sang the next line:
"Say to all pleasures—"
“Hi Hi!”
This kind of noisy scene everyone is happy, only the protagonist of this birthday, Wen Liang, is dying alone, this kind of not saying hello in advance, sudden public surprise, will really make contemporary young people directly embarrassed through the center of the earth!
But Wen Liang is also an actor, and she is not afraid of acting in public, this kind of thing is embarrassing, but it is not so embarrassing that she loses the most basic expression management, after sorting out her emotions a little, she accepted everyone's birthday wishes with a smile, but her cheeks were bitten, and she waited for He Tianran to sit down again after playing.
During the period, Wen Liang asked the little girl in the later stage next to him:
"Is this your company culture?"
The little rabbit clapped his hands with the song and whispered:
"It's okay, but when our company's employees celebrate their birthdays, Director He will privately send a big red envelope, and then directly give a day of birthday leave.
Never forced?
Well, it seems that I don't even have a chance to choose to die in public......
After singing the song, He Tianran finally stopped satisfied.
"Thank you, Dao'er He, this is really an unforgettable, unforgettable, life, day!"
Wen Liang gritted his teeth, but the smile on his face did not leak.
He Tianran waved his hand, "Haha, Mr. Wen's words, didn't they all catch up, it's quite a coincidence, and it's also fate." ”
was scolded yesterday, and today there is a scandal, even if you know that it may not be Wen Liang's doing, but who is He Tianran? After cutting it, my stomach is full of bad water, didn't you say on the set yesterday that I can't act? Then I'll show you today, it doesn't matter if it's your cool birthday today, but the cake is bought, and the birthday song is sung, anyway, it doesn't have to be.
As for the play, if you want to act, you can play a full set, so that you little girl will not tell the truth in her mouth.
He Tianran saw the cool expression, and he was happy in his heart, the two of them had no grievances, and as soon as they ate the cake, all the unpleasantness was revealed.
Not to mention, it's such a commotion, Wen Liang's mood has been gloomy is indeed a lot better.
Everyone shared the cake, and He Tianran has never liked to eat cream, so he put it aside first, and took the lead in sandwiching a piece of hairy belly.
Wen Liang glanced down at his dipping sauce, it wasn't so bad to be forced to listen to the birthday song just now, but now he almost didn't hold it back, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking:
"Director He, do you eat Chongqing hot pot dipped in sesame sauce?"
He Tianran laughed:
"Haidilao has been expelled from the entire hot pot industry, there are all kinds of ways to eat, what's wrong with the dipping sauce, you just treat me as a northerner."
Yao Qingtao interjected at this time:
"I heard that Ah Liang is from Chongqing? I seem to be quite particular about this. ”
"That's right, as far as Director He eats, it's just a big rebellion in our hometown, and he goes to the hot pot restaurant over there to eat, and he will be kicked out."
Wen Liang watched He Tianran scald his hairy belly from the bottom of the red soup pot, then put it in a dipping bowl, dipped it in a circle of sesame sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it with taste, his whole body was uncomfortable, and he almost didn't squirt out a sentence, "You can't eat red soup, please go eat the bottom of the clear soup pot, okay?" ”
"Is it so serious?" He Tianran slurred his mouth and said while eating.
Wen Liang frowned and pushed his dipping bowl over.
"You try mine, I haven't eaten it yet, it's a very authentic Chongqing hot pot dipping sauce."
He Tianran looked down and saw that there was only sesame oil, garlic paste, millet spicy in her bowl, garnished with some sesame seeds and shallots, and nothing else.
"This ...... Is it tasty? ”
"Of course, try it, the classic."
Wen Liang blinked and encouraged.
Other people's bowls have been pushed over, He Tianran also wants to try the authentic way of eating Chongqing people, so he stretched out his chopsticks to take out a lock of scalded duck intestines in the bottom of the pot with boiling red oil, put it in a cool dipping bowl and mixed it, and when he picked it up again, the duck intestines dripped a little sesame oil, steaming, it looked appetizing, he first blew a breath, and then sucked it into his mouth.
The feeling from the tip of the tongue is the hot pot first, and with the chewing between the teeth, it is the crispiness of the duck intestines, especially the sesame oil dipped in the water, although it makes the ingredients more fragrant, but at the same time it also amplifies other flavors, especially the pungent taste -
Hot!
Wen Liang scooped a spoonful of cake and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully, she looked at He Tianran's expression, her eyebrows and eyes curled, like a little devil who had succeeded in his prank.
He Tianran took a bite of duck intestines, didn't scream or make trouble, but after a while, he looked left and right silently, his eyes revealed a kind of anxiety, and he scratched the back of his neck, as if he was looking for something......
"Hey, Ah Liang, pass me the juice from you."
At this time, Mr. Aliu, who was feasting on the other side of the table, opened his mouth.
"Okay."
Just when He Tianran's eyes lit up when he saw the juice on the table, Wen Liang picked up the juice, as if he hadn't seen the embarrassment of the people around him, stood up and handed it to Ah Liu.
He Tianran watched as the juice was taken away, and at this moment his lips couldn't help but open slightly, and he couldn't help but inhale the cool air.
Wen Liang sat down again, looked at his expression, and smiled knowingly:
"How about Director He, my dipping sauce is okay~"
"Hey~ hehe, that, but, too, great, great!"
He Tianran couldn't eat spicy, mainly because he didn't have this eating habit, and his taste buds in a spicy mouth were a little unbearable, so he simply stood up, walked nearby and got himself a bottle of cold beer, directly bit the lid with his teeth, raised his head and poured several sips.
Not to mention, after these few sips of wine, the spicy taste in the mouth is diluted, this feeling is inexplicably very refreshing, smash it, smash it, I want to take another sip......
Wen Liang secretly snickered, she found that He Tianran was quite face-loving, he was not used to eating spicy food and did not say anything, he was spicy and did not express his position, and secretly solved it by himself.
In fact, the little tricks of these two people to fight against each other in private have always been seen by colleagues such as Ah Liu, Yao Qingtao, Xiao Zhu Xiaochen, etc., and they are not blind, not to mention that one of them has a birthday today and the other is the boss, who is the central figure of this dinner, otherwise he would not have deliberately asked for juice just now, waiting to see He Tianran eat deflated.
At this time, Yao Qingtao spoke:
"By the way, I heard Director Yu say yesterday, Ah Liang, you and our natural brother are classmates in high school?"
Yes, which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, the most nerve-wracking topic for He Tianran has finally been brought up.
Now all of you are female employees except He Tianran, and the three female screenwriters in the conference room just now are enough for him to drink a pot, and now this kind of gossip is brought up, how can he pay it back?
He Tianran only felt that the eyes of this group of girls suddenly lit up, making them look like sheep caught in a wolf pack.
"Really, really? Ah Liang, do you still have this kind of fate between you and Director He? Didn't anything happen to you in high school? ”
Ah Liu took the lead in attacking, and the cooked shrimp in the pot didn't have time to care.
"Then Sister Peach and I were classmates when we were in college, and you didn't see anything happen to us."
Without waiting for Wen Liang to speak, He Tianran tried to change the topic.
How do you know that Yao Qingtao is very generous, and she does not hesitate to sell herself, adding fuel to the fire:
"Director He, don't drag me into the water, okay, do you remember the time when we were librarians together, I wanted to have something to do with you, but you clearly rejected me, I was sad for a while."
"Wow~~~"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a group of girls showed that kind of excited and suppressed expression, what day is today, why is this hot pot so fragrant......
"Huh? And this kind of thing? Then Sister Peach, how can you still follow Director He now? ”
Wen Liang asked sarcastically.
"No way, give too much, originally I went to the customer department of Shanhai Group after graduation, and then He Tianran came out to start a business, he knew that I was a classmate with him, so he transferred me to serve him."
Yao Qingtao's explanation of adding oil and vinegar made He Tianran unbearable:
"What, what, it's clear that you know that I want to open a film and television company, you, a star-chasing girl, are ready to make a move, so you will discuss with me, so I asked my father to transfer you over, you can't smear people's innocence for no reason, what do you mean to serve me......"
"So I'll leave tomorrow?"
Yao Qingtao raised her eyebrows, and He Tianran hurriedly raised her glass.
"Don't don't, don't, you are my specially hired account director, this company has no reason to disperse with you, blame me, blame me, Xiaohe, I said the wrong thing, EQ is low, EQ is low, I respect you."
Everyone laughed when they saw He Tianran's humble appearance, he raised his wine glass, and the wine was slightly spilled, and he was stunned......
Good fellow, when is the wine in this glass so full......
He squinted at Wen Liang, and the other party looked at him innocently.
There is no way, since it is lifted, it can only be drunk.
"Actually, the fact that we are high school classmates, I only found out when you filmed "A Thousand Knots of the Heart" last year, didn't you go viral on the Internet at that time Director He's family history, and all the information was exploded, I saw that he was studying in Gangcheng Middle School in high school, and then I remembered in a trance, ah, when I was in high school, there was indeed a classmate named He Tianran."
Wen Liang explained unhurriedly, pulling the topic to her and He Tianran again.
This is indeed the process of her knowing that He Tianran is her classmate, but it is not the process of the two getting to know each other, He Tianran originally thought about why she didn't say anything about that trip, but after thinking about it, even if she said it, she didn't recognize it, and saying it was equivalent to saying it in vain, so it was better to say something within the scope of everyone's cognition.
Thinking about it this way, Wen Liang, this girl is still a little measured, at least she didn't take advantage of the fact that there are many people now, and she said something that made her feel empty and didn't know how to pick it up.
"You know? So you're all passers-by in high school, huh?"
Ah Liu felt incredible, in her opinion, the two people here are undoubtedly very good, a director, an actor, it's a match made in heaven, it's not that you have to force Lalang, it's just that since the two of them knew each other when they were students, they should have experienced some interesting things.
"I'm a passerby, but Wen Liang is not." He Tianran recalled with a smile: "At that time, Wen Liang was already well-known in our school, everywhere he went, the stars held the moon, and the battle between the front and the back hugged, what about me, this person woke up late, and I was very frustrated when I was in high school, I was homely and introverted, and I didn't like to communicate with people, so I often made jokes, and it wasn't until I went to college that my personality was slightly better." ”
"Director He, you are so good at playing, you also have introverted times? Don't lie! ”
Ah Liu quipped, in the eyes of today's He Tianran, among their group of friends, it is completely impossible to associate with words such as introvert and otaku.
"I'm lying to someone that it's a puppy, okay!"
"Tut-tut, I still don't believe it, you must have been a big cash charger when you were in high school! Ah Liang, come on~"
Hearing Ah Liu calling himself, Wen Liang was pouring water into the bowl, and he came back to his senses at once.
"Ah...... Yes, He Dao'er was quite low-key when he was in high school, inconspicuous, and there were really few words, and no one knew that he was a prince at that time, because I was an art candidate, so I spent most of my time in the training class, and I really didn't have much to do with him in high school, but ...... I remember that his most beautiful deeds seem to be in the third year of high school, his grades improved very quickly, and finally he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong in the college entrance examination, he was the kind of person who worked silently at that time. ”
He Tianran also felt when he listened:
"That's right, Mr. Aliu, if you think there is a story between us...... After the college entrance examination, our school's honor wall, class 2 of the third year, my photo and Wen Liang's photo were pasted together, which was the closest we got to in our entire high school days. ”
With that, he picked up a piece of meat and ate it happily.
Wen Liang listened quietly, the reason why she was distracted just now was because she realized that He Tianran didn't seem to exclude them from knowing each other, and even today she could help herself find the culprit who created the scandal, and now she can generously admit their former classmate relationship.
All this undoubtedly proves that he has not been affected by some of his previous lace gossip, and he has to deliberately keep a distance from himself.
The topic rotated during the meal, and everyone had a warm atmosphere, Wen Liang simply stopped thinking about this problem, although it was a pity, but if He Tianran didn't say it himself, or really didn't remember, then it would be useless to break his head.
"Hey, Teacher Wen Liang, can't you eat spicy?"
Beside him, the little rabbit suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Wen Liang didn't know why, and when she looked down at her bowl along the other party's line of sight, she found that half a bowl of water was filled with water in the bowl at some point, and her chopsticks were holding a piece of beef, slowly refreshing the red oil chili pepper on the surface......
Yao Qingtao, Ah Liu and the others also made a warm move, and laughed at He Tianran:
"He Dao'er, you return the dipping water to others to warm up, haven't you seen that others have started to use mineral water as a dipping sauce?"
He Tianran was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had already eaten several chopsticks with the dipping sauce from Wen Liang.
He was also puzzled, this dipping sauce was already very spicy, and he had no reason not to notice it, so he could continue to eat it......
"Oh, look at me, I forgot about it after chatting just now, I'll go get another dip for classmate Wen."
He Tianran slapped his head and stood up, blurted out:
"Sesame oil garlic millet spicy, just these three, don't add the rest, right?"
“……”
This scene suddenly made Wen Liang feel so familiar......
The neon of the night view of the city hit the faces of everyone on the rooftop, and the cup and lamp change continued, but at this moment, everyone's faces changed......
Ah Liu became his best friend Sheng Qidong, Yao Qingtao became Li Wang, and then Cai Cassia Ming, Hu Yue, and ...... Gu Ling, who has changed her name to Gu Qiaoman.
Everyone who had been going their separate ways seemed to be reunited, and everyone was smiling and playing with each other, as if they had returned to their college days.
The only thing that hasn't changed is He Tianran in front of him, he opened his mouth, as if he was saying something to himself......
"Cool...... Cool? ”
With the gradually louder voice in his ears, Wen Liang came back to his senses again.
"Huh?"
Seeing her state, He Tianran comforted:
"Oh, don't worry too much about your operations and secretly filming you, just eat well, your body is important, I'll go get you some water."
The other party thought that today's events worried him, so he left.
Wen Liang looked at everyone present again, everyone returned to normal, where are the faces of his group of friends in his memory......
Her gaze slowly fell to the piece of meat soaked in clear water in her bowl.
When have you ever had the habit of eating hot pot and going through clear water?
