Chapter 117: A Story of Fate (5)
In the private room of the hot pot restaurant, only the "cooing" sound of boiling at the bottom of the pot continues.
Everyone, very silent.
The man raised his wrist and looked at his watch, which was a watch that was not too expensive, but he liked very much, the Sky Eagle of Citizen.
The time shown above was 8:43 p.m., and when he reached the door of the private room a minute earlier, everyone present was enthusiastic when he saw his arrival, and when he sat down next to a certain woman, that enthusiasm gradually replaced by embarrassment on the faces of everyone......
The seats arranged made He Tianran and Wen Liang have to sit together, and the white gas coming out of the pot made everyone look at the faces of the two of them, and they all became a little cloudy.
The man's gaze was still on the surface, because at this minute, he didn't know where to look......
And what he doesn't know is that nine hours after the start of the next minute, he will experience a game of "let love end at sunrise".
β¦β¦
"I didn't know they were going to call you."
Wen Liang on the side stared at the red soup boiling in the pot, and said expressionlessly.
"It's okay, I didn't know you were there."
When the girl heard this, she slowly looked sideways at the man beside her, and with a trace of gloom in her slightly drunk eyes, she said:
"If you're in a hurry, you can leave now, it doesn't matter, I'm OK."
This sentence made everyone hear it, and in the face of the situation of the two of them, they were nervous and didn't know what to do.
The man, on the other hand, lowered his wrist and, as if he hadn't heard, naturally took off his leather jacket, then bent down to pick up a bottle of beer at his feet, bit the cap with his teeth, and poured himself a full glass.
"Brother Park, sister-in-law, I wish you a happy engagement, and then I'm happy to meet everyone!"
He Tianran raised his cup and got up, and everyone reacted, their faces regained their enthusiasm, and they raised their cups to collide with him, but Wen Liang was unmoved.
After drinking a cup, He Tianran sat down again, and then filled the cup again, this time he turned to Wen Liang, with a polite smile on his face, and said:
"Don't worry, even if I'm in a hurry, I'm not bad for this night."
Wen Liang stared at him for a few seconds, then looked away, also picked up half of his own glass of wine, collided with him at will, and the two drank it one after another.
Seeing that the couple and the man drank wine, the stiffness that permeated the wine table could be considered to melt, Lu Alan and Park Zhikun immediately started a family routine with He Tianran, planning to heat up the atmosphere first and then delve into other things.
And Xue Yong on the side is a clear-eyed person, if others are still prepared for the relationship between He and Wen, then he has been in shock since he entered this door, and he has only recovered now.
What's going on?
How do these two people look at it, how do they look like there is a story......
Okay, you He Tianran usually looks thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect your kid to have a time of rebellion!
Xue Yong was secretly happy in his heart, but after all, there were two brothers in the world, this good show couldn't just be left on the ground, he was alive in his heart, and immediately smiled at Wen Liang and said:
"Wen Liang, Sister Liang, do you still know me?"
Wen Liang glanced at him and paused.
ββ¦β¦ Familiar, who are you? β
"I~ Xue Yong! Master, his old man's beloved apprentice, Xiao Yong! I chased you when I was in high school! β
Speaking of this, Wen Liang recognized it, she looked Xue Yong up and down in surprise, and said:
"Ah, it's you...... You...... Xue Yong, why are you so fat now? β
"Whew...... It's not ...... Life is okay. β
"Okay, so what are you doing now?"
"What else can I do, work for my father, come to Sister Liang, let's go one."
The two chatted like this across He Tianran.
Xue Yong has changed a lot in recent years, and he wants to start his own business after graduation, so through his father's connections, he started a foreign trade business, but this livestock really does not have the ability of the older generation to fight the country, and it is not a profit but a loss in a few years, but fortunately, the amount is not large, after his father helped him settle the account, this guy is completely resigned to his fate, and he does not toss anymore, and consciously enters the family's seafood company as a rice worm.
This kind of lying flat life, it is difficult not to get fat, and in the end, even He Tianran couldn't stand it, so he has been working out with him for half a month.
Lu Alan on the side saw the stitches and quipped:
"Ouch, man, after graduation, we have to go through a process of gradual physical gain, and then constantly sway between weight loss and rottenness, what about us, we belong to the rotten hanging, huh...... Director He looks okay, huh? β
He Tianran waved his hand, "I'm also fat, it's just that I still have the strength to struggle for a while." β
A warm and cool gaze swept over him, and then continued to say to Xue Yong:
"Xue Yong, I still remember that you wanted to take the police academy in the first place."
"Hey, Sister Liang, you poke me in the sore spot, don't mention it, just like me, I still want to be a policeman, isn't this a scourge to the masses, by the way, Sister Liang, we have a high school reunion recently, Director He told you, right? Do you have time to come? β
Xue Yong asked by the way, He Tianran's face was silent, but at this moment, Wen Liang glanced at him and said deliberately:
"I can't decide whether I have time or not, my boss is sitting here, you can ask him."
Xue Yong gloated, thinking that He Tianran had never made an appointment for Wen Liang, and he was afraid that Cao Aiqing would bump into Wen Liang.
Xue Yong, Xue Yong, can you shut up if you can't speak? You're so good to me, brother, brother, ahβ
He Tianran also obeyed this animal at this moment, but the topic had already been introduced to him, and he couldn't avoid it for a while, so he had to communicate with Wen Liang, he asked:
"Sister Lan, have you arranged a lot of notices this month?"
Now "The Ambition in the Heart" will end smoothly in two days, but the company's self-made variety show has faced a lot of resistance, mainly because there are many places to consider on the guests' side, even if Wen Liang, Su Xiaotong and other own artists join, but there are still a few artists who have been pulling and have not talked about it.
If it is going well, then the first episode of the show should be broadcast soon, but now it is impossible to rely on variety shows to take over the idea of film and television dramas, for which He Panshan also scolded He Tianran, saying that since he can't do it, he still has a military order, but according to He Tianran's meaning, since it can't be connected, it might as well postpone it for a while and plan it well, and the company's project team has been thinking of ways to advance it in the past few days.
Warm and salty replied:
"No, I still have a few business to shoot after eleven, and the company has not arranged other announcements."
With Wen Liang's current popularity, if it weren't for Bai Wenyu to help her check the gates, her business would be able to go from the beginning of the year to the end of the year without rest, but now that she is popular, she must maintain a tone that is in line with her own coffee position, whether it is to choose endorsements or take on business, she must go according to the specifications that should be there, and the company's variety show arrangement has not come down yet, so I haven't arranged too many notices for her this month.
After listening to the answer, He Tianran turned his head towards Xue Yong and said calmly:
"Then the two of you can discuss it for a day, and you can let me know when the time comes."
Before Xue Yong could react, he heard Wen Liang also say to him:
"Xue Yong, it's better for you to discuss with He Dao'er, after all, whether I have anything to do is something he can decide, and I am the one waiting for the notice."
ββ¦β¦β
Xue Yong was numb all of a sudden, these two people were obviously sitting next to each other, why did they use themselves as a microphone? There's something wrong, isn't that ......
He was stunned for a moment and said, "No...... Brother Nature, Sister Liang, aren't you two too familiar? β
Wen Liang: "You ask him." β
He Tianran: "Brother Yong, what do you think?" β
ββ¦β¦β
If you are an ordinary person, it is estimated that you will really be speechless by the neurotic state of these two people, but it is not the first time that Xue Yong has encountered this kind of thing at the wine party, who is he, he is Xue Yong who is full of social attributes and emotional intelligence!
I saw Xue Yong immediately pick up his wine glass and say to the two:
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't know each other, but I'm familiar, I'm too familiar, with Brother Xiaoyong here, there's no one who can't be acquainted with him, hehe, uh......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that there was a way to break the ice, and proposed to everyone with a smile:
"By the way, there are a lot of friends here here who we are seeing for the first time, it seems that everyone is engaged in art and can have fun, so why don't we play a 'acquaintance game' and liven up the atmosphere, what do you think?"
"What is an 'acquaintance game'?"
Boss Park's fiancΓ©e asked curiously.
Lu Alan himself runs a bar, and he has seen a lot of this kind of drinking game, so he explained:
"It's a kind of drinking game that many men and women meet for the first time to enhance their relationship, for example, you are meeting He Daoer for the first time, but in the 'acquaintance game', you have to say a relationship with him, such as 'he is my brother', ' If he nods and admits it, others have the right to question it, saying that since you are sisters and brothers, why are the surnames different, if you are a fellow countryman, why are the accents different, etc., as long as the explanation they give is all passed, then the person who questioned it will drink, if it is not mixed up, the explanation does not make sense, they will drink, and a few people will question, and they will drink a few glasses of wine. β
Hearing this, Sheng Qidong was also interested, and she asked:
"Then what if Director He doesn't admit the relationship in other people's mouths?"
Lu Alan spread his hands, "Then when he drinks it himself, he also has to add a sentence about his relationship with the other party, and if the other party disagrees, he will also drink until the two sides reach some kind of 'acquaintance' relationship." β
Xue Yong on the side was not enough, so he added fuel to the fire and said:
"Then let's add another code, that is, every confirmed relationship, you must maintain it before you go home tonight, for example, I am He Dao's father, no one questioned it, and he admitted it, so tonight, he has to call me Dad!"
"Xue Yong, I'll go to Uncle's ......"
He Tianran was angry and laughed, picked up the wine bottle and raised it, making a gesture to fight, Xue Yong dodged it, and said with a hippie smile:
"For example, for example, you won't admit it anyway, right, why don't we play a few rounds now? Let Director He come first for the position of acquaintances! β
He said bitterly: "Hey, why did I come first?" The person who needs to be introduced here is you, right? β
Seeing this, Lu Alan on the other side immediately rehabilitated Xue Yong, and waved his hand again and again:
"The strangest person is really not him, Director He, Brother Yong has stored a lot of wine in my bar, I looked for him a few years ago, I knew him when he was in high school, really, the person at this table who has the least contact with us is you, so I can't start with you."
"Really?"
"Yes! Come, my dear brother Alan, brother, I'll do it first! β
"Come!"
Under He Tianran's surprised gaze, Xue Yong directly saluted, and Lu Alan also had a serious expression, and after returning the salute, the two of them picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The comical gesture of sympathy between these two fat men amused the people at the table to lean forward and close together.
Seeing this, He naturally accepted his fate, and had to say:
"Okay, okay, I'll come, I'll come, then...... Who introduced me first? β
"I'll come first, I'll come first!"
Xue Yong drank the wine, and immediately raised his hand before he had time to wipe his mouth.
"He and Director He are classmates in high school! By the way, I can't say anything more about the relationship! β
No wonder this guy is in such a hurry, it turns out that the earlier the person who said it, the more advantageous, because the real relationship is often not questioned, and the further back, the less reliable the fabricated relationship is, and it is easy to drink.
"He Dao is mine...... Party A's father. β
Wei Xing thought about it and said, today Wen Liang introduced Wei Xing as the music production of "The Wild Heart", and He Tianran, as the director, said that it was not a problem for Party A.
"Xiaohe is my younger brother."
Teacher Park is not ashamed, although this relationship He Tianran also admitted, but this sentence was questioned by most people, and then when he said that He Tianran often came to his guitar shop to play games in high school, and also helped watch the store, tried the piano for guests and many other deeds, everyone understood that the two had a great relationship, and it was not too much to say that He Tianran was his younger brother.
"So you've known each other so early?"
Wen Liang asked with some surprise, she was also one of the people who questioned the relationship.
Park Zhikun was very proud on his face:
"yes, drink, it's true, otherwise I wouldn't have called him on the phone."
"I thought you only met during that subway flash mob......"
Wen Liang drank the wine, and everyone continued, it was Lu Alan's turn.
"Xiaohe is my family...... The boss of the band's lead singer. β
Wen Liang had just finished drinking it, and she almost squirted out after hearing this, which was what she wanted to say......
Lu Alan stared at the girl with a grin, ignoring the other party's fierce eyes, and no one on the scene would question this sentence.
Then, it was the turn of Li Wang and Sheng Qidong, the man, and the man said:
"Director He has filmed with me."
Director He was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Wang, he had a little impression of this strange man, but he didn't have any memory of what he said, and he didn't know if the other party was making it up or how......
Acquaintance games are fun and fun here, if they all talk about real relationships, then they can't achieve an ice-breaking effect.
However, it may be that the real relationship that the first few people said made He Tianran not ease up, and he actually took the initiative to drink a glass of wine and did not admit this sentence.
Li Wang was also stunned when he saw that the other party denied it, and then reminded:
"He Dao'er, this is a real thing, have you forgotten?"
"I ...... When did you ever film with you? β
"It was when we graduated and filmed the work, I was looking for you to play tricks, but later I found out that you were hidden deeply, replaced the photography at the time, and helped us shoot a scene, and then Sister Liang came to see you on the set, you made an appointment to eat after filming, did you forget?"
"I ......"
He Tianran hesitated, he suddenly noticed that Wen Liang beside him was staring at him with a burning gaze, which made him stagger his gaze and continue to ask:
"Is there any evidence for our acquaintance? Like what...... Trivia, group photos or something? β
"Uh......"
No wonder when this incident was mentioned before, Wen Liang said that someone didn't remember, Li Wang lowered his head and thought about it, this matter has passed for a few years, and it is reasonable for He Tianran to remember it, but as the director of that film, Li Wang of course has something that others don't have, and thinking that his girlfriend just now wanted to introduce He Tianran to himself through Wen Liang, he naturally wouldn't miss this relationship.
After two seconds, Li Wang looked up and said:
"Do the end credits at the end of the film count? I've added your name as well. β
ββ¦β¦ Is it? β
"That piece is in my phone, Director He, take a look."
Li Wang took out his mobile phone, played the film, and handed it to him.
When the words "Li Wang's works" appeared in the subtitles, He Tianran raised his head and asked:
"Are you Li Wang?"
"It's me, Director He, do you remember?"
Of course, this name He Tianran can't forget, the original Hong Kong City College Student Micro Film Competition, was the starting point for him to step into the road of film and television, when he won the Best Film Award, and the person who won the best director was the Li Wang in front of him.
But at this moment, he didn't respond too much, just because in the staff subtitles at the end of the film, behind the position with the word "photography", he saw Cai Cianming and ...... His own name.
How so......
He Tianran was puzzled in his heart.
Li Wang recalled on the side and added:
"It's funny to think about, when we asked Director He to ask you for your name, you said you can call you Xiaojia, and then when I cut the film and added the staff list, I felt that just writing a nickname was not formal enough, and it happened that you were friends with Sister Liang, so I asked her your real name.
Now that I think about it, we all wanted to participate in that micro-film competition, and it wasn't until I saw your name on the day of the award that I suddenly realized, it turned out that Director He was here to find out the enemy's situation, no wonder you didn't tell us your real name. β
Xiao Jia? Passerby A......
This matter is really too weird, not only Wen Liang, Cai Cianming, and Hu Yue told him so, but even the current Li Wang told him so, but he alone can't remember it anyway......
These people have been separated for so long after graduation, even if Wen Liang let them collude and weave a lie, but this can't be said......
I have made it clear to Wen Liang that he is not the passer-by A in the girl's memory, everything has been said, and with Wen Liang's character, she has no reason to do such a thing again......
At this moment, Lu Alan on the opposite side also interjected:
"It's what happened the day the band broke up."
Li Wang replied: "Yes." β
Lu Alan slapped his thigh, "That's right, Director He, I asked you to come to my bar last year, you won't forget the things I told you that night, right?" β
Wei Xing asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Oh, on the day we disbanded, Wen Liang wouldn't run out before he even had time to put down the guitar in order to find a man, do you have any impression?"
Wei Xing was bored with himself, "That's too much." β
Even Park Zhikun said: "Oh, then now the people and the time are right, so Wen Liang was looking for Xiaohe that day?" Whew~"
Sheng Qidong also said thoughtfully: "Hmph~ I also remember that day, it's the first time I've seen Ah Liang so nervous alone~"
In the confirmation one after another, He Tianran raised his head with his mobile phone, looking so dazed......
Li Wang smiled:
"How about Director He, you drank the previous glass of wine early, everyone admits this matter, and no one questions it, so do you recognize this relationship?"
ββ¦β¦ Ah, well. β
He Tianran was silent for a few seconds, and two syllables came out of his mouth vaguely.
I don't know if it's because his mind is messed up now, or because it's a game in itself, and there is nothing to win or lose anyway, so I thought about fooling around first, and then thinking about it when I calmed down.
When it was Sheng Qidong's turn, the other party said that he was from the same university, and claimed that one of them was an undergraduate student and the other was a graduate student, not counting the repetition with Xue Yong's high school classmate.
In the end, the person who said the relationship finally had the turn of Wen Liang.
High school classmates have said it, a university has said it, they have filmed together, the boss of the same company has also said it, and even the relationship between relatives and relatives has been said.
He Tianran found out that everyone here, they seemed to have a heart, and they had already planned to take up all of his public relationship with Wen Liang, and it was the girl's turn, if there was no unknown personal relationship, it would only be made up......
So, everyone was looking forward to what kind of relationship Wen Liang would say.
And what happened next didn't make them look forward to it in vain.
"He Natural ......"
The girl just called out a name, but it made the man's heart skip a beat.
ββ¦β¦ What? β
"Are you a person who will play by the rules of the game?"
Facing Wen Liang's particularly serious questioning, He Tianran's ears suddenly "buzzed", and there were bursts of tinnitus......
Is he a man who will play by the rules of the game?
In this regard, He Tianran almost subconsciously gave an answer:
ββ¦β¦ Of course. β
"That's ......"
Wen Liang turned her body completely, and she looked directly into He Tianran's eyes:
"Since you admit the relationship between Li Wang and you, then according to the rules, it must be maintained tonight, which means that you must also admit my next relationship with you......"
Speaking of this, Wen Liang paused word by word, and said extremely firmly:
"We used to be traveling companions on the same road, and you once took me to see the snowy mountains, but then ...... You didn't say a word, and you left me, not even telling me any reason. (End of chapter)
