Chapter 133: Butterflies and Spiders (1)
The third weekend of October is the day when the 21st graduating class of Hong Kong and China have agreed to get together.
The agreed location, set in a party hall in Nanshan District, originally He Tianran proposed to go to Tianping Lake Resort, after all, this time Yu Haoqiu also had to follow the past, no matter how bad he still knew a place called Shen Chen Club, that is a place where He Panshan often comes and goes, all kinds of dishes are a must, and then you can also do spa therapy or something for female students by the way.
However, these proposals were rejected by Cao Aiqing in the end, and when asked about the reason, it was her good friend Bai Tingting who explained in a complaining tone next to her:
"Boss He, don't settle in this kind of high-consumption place, okay? This time, we are mainly gathering to catch up, you think about other people's psychological feelings, of course, if you deliberately want to show off your wealth, I didn't say it. ”
The people who participated in this party are all young people of twenty-five or six-year-olds, in this age when they are not embarrassed or embarrassed, high or low, there is no doubt that the vast majority of them are workers, so it is very reasonable not to be extravagant in the choice of meeting places.
After the location and time were set, the high school group chat on the chat software that used to have a few blessing messages bubbling up in addition to the New Year's holidays became lively again, which is interesting, He Tianran's class has a total of 42 people, except for 9 classmates who really can't come, the number of people counted at this party is 51.
Most of the eighteen extra people are "family members" like Yu Haoqiu, and some people even asked in the group if they could bring their children over, but considering that the male classmates at the scene were going to smoke and drink or something, they politely refused this request in time.
There are also some people who want to bring friends and girlfriends, mainly because there are celebrities like Wen Liang, Zhang Zhifan, and He Tianran present at this party, and it is normal for people to want to take this opportunity to make friends, but this is not a public party, it is enough to bring your partner over, and others can only decline.
The banquet of the day's party is scheduled to start at half past six in the afternoon, but if some students who have a good relationship in the class are free, they can go over in advance at noon.
Cao Aiqing was the school committee member in the class at the beginning, and the convener of this party, and finally came back after going abroad for several years, so he was naturally asked by a few old classmates to play mahjong early.
As for He Tianran, he basically didn't have any friends in high school, and it happened that the location of the party hall was quite close to Nanshan Wharf, so he called Xue Yong and drove He Panshan's blue-water sailboat to go fishing together, thinking that he could add two more dishes at night.
……
……
The sky was as blue as a wash, the white canvas shimmered in the sun, like a huge feather shining like a huge feather, He Tianran sat intently on the bow of the boat, his eyes through his sunglasses, watching the fishing line floating leisurely in the water, he held the fishing rod in one hand, and gently rested the other hand on the side of the boat, feeling the sea breeze blowing.
There was a noise behind him, it was Xue Yong who walked out of the cabin, he was holding an ashtray in one hand and a fishing container in the other, and while muttering in his mouth, he walked and sat next to He Tianran.
"Yes, Director He, you can drive a boat, you can drive a car, you can drive a helicopter, I don't know and think you're Conan, when I was a child, your father probably took you to Hawaii to get a driver's license, right?"
Xue Yong's inconspicuous joke made He Tianran shake his head, he didn't speak, just gave up one more position to let the increasingly prosperous Xue Yong sit more spacious, the other party skillfully packed up the fishing gear, selected the target, put on the bait, and threw the rod in one go, and then he put down the fishing rod, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to He Tianran, but when he saw him swing his chin, he took it back and put the cigarette in his mouth.
Xue Yong didn't rush to light the fire, but muttered intentionally or unintentionally:
"Last time in the hot pot restaurant, you ordered me a lighter."
He Tianran turned his head and looked at Xue Yong for two seconds, then also put down the fishing rod, groped around his body, and finally took out a kerosene lighter from the mezzanine of his coat.
"It's just a lighter, you don't have to remember it so much."
"Tingting gave me a Valentine's Day gift! It's a limited edition of Zippo, have you seen "Constantine"? Keanu Reeves's same style, big brother! ”
Xue Yong took the lighter, and then lit the cigarette, and the appearance of swallowing clouds and spitting fog on his face was like seeing Constantine who had opened the door of heaven for him before he died, and he enjoyed it incomparably.
"Ouch, I really can't stand you, quit early, you envy other people's protagonists smoking, why don't you envy others and lung cancer?"
He Tianran waved his hand, dispersing the smoke that the animal deliberately spat at him.
Xue Yong played with the lost lighter in his hand, put it in his pocket, and said with a swishing face:
"Why, you're envious too? You have to envy you for letting your family buy it for you! Oh, no! Ai Qing hates other people's smoking, so if you ask Wen Liang to buy it for you, the nature is the same anyway. ”
"Hey~! I said you're a ...... in the streets."
He Tianran was about to get up and attack, but Xue Yong hurriedly softened, "Don't, don't...... Now there are no outsiders, joking, joking, hey, look at you, tease you, just kidding, you're still in a hurry, not to be not, you want to know what Constantine, what Keanu Reeves, now in my Xue Yong's heart is not as good as a hair of your He Dao'er, you know? Sit down first, and let me express my admiration to you! ”
"Why don't you come here!"
He Tianran scolded helplessly, and then seemed to think of something again, pushing the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose to the top of his hair, and staring at Xue Yong with a pair of eyes.
The latter was stared at in his heart, and instantly understood its meaning.
"Clearly, clearly, Director He rest assured, I Xue Yong absolutely ...... about the hot pot restaurant that day."
As he spoke, he put his finger to his mouth and made a zipper motion.
Seeing that He Tianran finally withdrew his gaze, Xue Yong's hanging heart let go, but in this environment, it was impossible to make this guy quiet, so he only listened to Xue Yong continue to probe and say:
"Dao'er, let's have something to say, anyway, there are no outsiders now, it's today...... Ai Qing and Wen Liang met, what are you going to do? ”
He Tianran looked at his nose and nose, and said lightly: "What are you going to do?" What is there to plan for? When I see it, I see it. ”
"It's not...... Don't you really have any arrangements? Aren't you afraid that the two of them will fight in private and be jealous? As far as I can remember, the temper is cool...... Wow, that girl is too hard, ten Ai Qing may not be enough for her to tear it up alone! Don't blame my brother for not reminding you, if this really makes trouble, you have to be prepared! ”
He Tianran was really amused by Xue Yong's description, and he asked with a smile:
"What if...... The two of them are really arguing, which side are you on? ”
"I ...... I ......" Xue Yong was immediately embarrassed, and after realizing that this should not be a problem for him to consider at all, he simply said, "Which side am I on?" I'm standing in the middle and I'm watching! Anyway, if something happens then, don't ask me for help again! ”
"Hahaha~"
He Tianran laughed heartily, and Xue Yong didn't understand that this thing was about to face the Shura field, how could he still laugh, so next, Xue Yong was confused, and said a disgusting question:
"What are you laughing at at such times? What's the matter, are you...... You've got a big cock, huh? ”
He Tianran suddenly flew into his mouth like a fly when he was laughing, and the smile froze on his face, he frowned a little uncertainly, looked at Xue Yong and confirmed:
"You...... What did you just say? ”
Xue Yong is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he is serious:
"You heard me right, anyway, I can't think of any reason for you to make these two women coexist peacefully other than that thing is violent, and needs someone more to share it."
It was expected that He Tianran, who had long been accustomed to hearing many vulgar jokes in the crew, heard this at first glance, and his facial features were distorted together, just like Xue Yong poured a bunch of garbage in his ears, and he said angrily:
"Xue Yong, Xue Yong, you are really vulgar! Yes, I'm too lazy to go around in circles with you, I have nothing to do with Wen Liang, that day is a game, it will end at dawn, Wen Liang is the artist I signed up, Ai Qing is my girlfriend, we happen to be high school classmates, it's that simple, don't worry about what will happen when these two women meet, you should eat and drink, you can't miss it! ”
Xue Yong glanced at this "righteous gentleman", snorted disdainfully in his nose, and said:
"Okay, okay, I'm vulgar, how noble you are, you're a gentleman, and I don't know who, that day people asked you to kiss it, but it didn't hesitate for a second. Let's not talk about the eldest brother, okay! ”
He Tianran's face turned blue when he was said, if he hadn't been determined to accompany Wen Liang to go crazy for the last time that day, and draw an end to their feelings that shouldn't have happened, he would definitely not have done such an outrageous thing.
Xue Yong accepted it when he saw it, probably recalling the scene of that day, spit out a cigarette, and sighed:
"But speaking of which, the last time I saw Wen Liang, I felt that she had really changed a lot, my Xue Yong was flamboyant enough in Hong Kong before, right? When I met her, I had to call 'Sister Liang', at that time, this sister had a wild personality, as if she was the dream lover of our bad boys, in order to chase her, I also went to her boxing gym to learn boxing, and was beaten a lot of old boxing by his father, tsk tsk~ Now that I think about it, buddy, I did a lot of stupid things when I was young~
That's right, Brother Nature, don't tell Tingting about this! Ai Qing, don't tell me, lest these two girls report the news and complicity! ”
"Clear......
He Tianran turned his head sideways and subconsciously asked:
"She ...... the warmth of that time"
The man stopped talking.
"What, want to find out? That's right, after all, you kid wasn't in the same circle with us at the time, let me tell you, Wen Liang was ...... at the time."
Xue Yong was about to recall, but He Tianran shook his head and interrupted:
"I don't want to know, Ai Qing also told me a few days ago that the changes of people should be viewed according to the length of a lifetime, and labeling a certain period of a person is too subjective, so I am ignorant of the years of Wen Liang...... Not much interest. ”
This time it was his turn to throw garbage into Xue Yong's ears, and the latter also frowned together, grinning:
"Ouch, what I hate the most is that you young people speak one by one, I know every word, and I don't understand it at all, so it's better to be vulgar."
He Tianran lifted the fishing rod, re-baited the clean hook, smiled, and said:
"But there will be something later, I do want to trouble Brother Xiaoyong for a favor."
"What's the matter?"
He Tianran said plainly:
"A month ago, I found a media friend and asked him to help me collect some things, and today he will send them to me, and I am not very good at picking them up myself, so you help me go on a run, and you can keep these things on your phone after you see them, and remember them in your head, and if they are useful at the party, you can say them out of your mouth, of course, I hope these things are not used at the time."
"What's it, so mysterious?"
"I'll know if I go and get it."
Under the blue sky, above the blue waves, the waves splashed by the stern of the white sailboat shone in the sun, forming a shimmering silver wake, and He Tianran, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, stood up again and threw the rod into the sea.
He hadn't been aware of it when he came to He Panshan before, but now when he stood in this position, he actually experienced a kind of insignificant taste of Haitian Qingming people at this moment.
……
……
In the afternoon, at a quarter past three, the Nanshan Philharmonic Party Hall.
Since the whole stadium was covered today, the whole stadium was much colder today than it was on previous weekends.
But right now, there is one room that is bustling with laughter.
"If someone tells me that Ai Qing will be with He Tianran, I won't believe it......"
"That's right, if you put it this way, He Dao'er was still a treasure boy in our class at that time, but unfortunately, we don't have Ai Qing's vision for discovering treasures, if I can go back to the past now, I will be reckless and close to Director He."
"Ye Jiaqi, forget it, you were He Tianran's tablemate for a period of time, and you usually joke with him the most."
"Oh, isn't that young and ignorant~ You see, when Dao'er He comes, I won't praise him to the sky!"
The room was filled with the tranquility of the afternoon, and the crisp sound of mahjong tiles mingled with the relaxed laughter of the girls.
Cao Aiqing's face was full of youthful vitality, and the ponytail swayed on her shoulders, matching her every movement, adding a bit of playfulness and agility.
The afternoon refreshments were set aside, and the number of mahjong games on the table gradually increased, but the girl's expression remained relaxed and happy, she frowned slightly, and her fingers deftly shuttled between the decks, thinking about the next strategy; From time to time, they exchanged smiles with friends who were seated next to each other and shared the good time together.
For the girls to ridicule and joke, she often smiles, occasionally adding a few words of fun when the two are in love, everyone listens to it interestingly, laughs comfortably, and the atmosphere is excellent, until Ye Jiaqi, who was known as the "gossip little fairy" in the class in the past, pinched her head and tail and added oil and vinegar to tell a past story:
"Think about it, it's really feng shui turns, don't look at me when I go to school to make fun of He Dao'er, in fact, I'm pretty good, jokes between friends don't hurt the friendship of classmates, let me tell you, I'm definitely the first person to know that He Dao'er likes Ai Qing, he always stared at our school committee when he was in class, and it was an afternoon at a glance, and I also said to Wen Liang at that time, you see, your charm is still not as good as Ai Qing, guess what Wen Liang said at that time?"
"How?"
Ye Jiaqi touched a card, took the strong cushion and said:
"That's because this otaku doesn't even have the courage to peek at me, if I make a move, he will definitely give up within three days! Hahaha......"
A girl in the bureau chimed in: "I remembered, I remembered, the first semester of the third year of high school, right?" We've been talking about this in a small group for a while. ”
Ye Jiaqi raised her eyebrows: "That's right!" Now that I see that things are really different, who would have thought that although Wen Liang has become a big star, she still has to work for the otaku she didn't look down on at the beginning, and the relationship between He Daoer and Ai Qing is real gold and is not afraid of fire, let alone three days, people are almost ten years! To this day, I'm afraid it's not a good thing to come~"
In the room, several women who played mahjong laughed again, Bai Tingting looked at Cao Aiqing, who was sitting under her house, staring at the cards, and saw that her face was as usual, and she was relieved of her attitude of ignoring it.
"In the red."
Bai Tingting casually played a card and was about to speak away from the topic, when suddenly a beautiful voice in her ears caught people's attention:
"Hmm-
Ye Jiaqi, I also remember when you asked me if you could be an actor in high school, I said that you can't learn acting, your speech is too dense and you can't speak clearly, your expression is pretentious and your demeanor is wooden, it seems that I am a person and a person, and you are still the same~"
Everyone looked up and looked at the door, and someone pushed it open......
I saw a bright and aggressive woman already standing there, a brown bomber jacket, a pair of high-waisted jeans, a pair of large toad glasses hanging from a white lined T-shirt under the neck, she wrapped her hands around it, and just leaned on the door in this infinitely beautiful posture, her eyes looked at the women in the room with interest.
This woman is warm and cool.
Her sudden appearance shocked everyone present, especially Ye Jiaqi, who had just made fun of others, and now she was directly ridiculed by her face, and when she finally squeezed out an extremely embarrassing smile from her face, she heard someone on the table knock down all the cards, and from the other direction, came an elegant and indifferent sentence:
"Hu, single hanging red, thirteen."
In just nine words, everyone's attention to the arrival of warmth and coolness was instantly shifted to the person who spoke-
The person who won the card was Cao Aiqing.
Ye Jiaqi's eyes widened, looking at the card type that Cao Aiqing pushed down, as if she had forgotten the cold mockery of her in the last second, she said incredulously:
"Ai Qing, I still have a pair of red middle schools here, are you hanging Zhang alone?"
"Maybe I'm lucky today~"
Cao Aiqing had a faint smile on her face, her elbows against the table, her palms rubbing back and forth, and at the moment when everyone looked down to observe her card shape, she finally raised her eyes and shot in the direction of the door......
And Wen Liang's originally glancing gaze finally seemed to have found a target and focused on one place. (End of chapter)
