Chapter 135: Butterflies and Spiders (3)
The vast sea, a lonely sail.
He Tianran stared at the butterflies floating on the fishing rod, and his thoughts were scattered.
"Hey, it's rare for a butterfly to fly on the sea."
Xue Yong on the side took out his mobile phone and immediately wanted to take a photo, but at this moment, the fishing rod suddenly shook, obviously a fish was hooked, the butterfly was shocked and flew away, and finally under He Tianran's efforts, the fish finally escaped from the hook.
"Ouch, you can't do it, it's been so long, and you haven't caught a single fish."
"Why else did you ask you to come?"
In the face of Xue Yong's ridicule, He Tianran put away the fishing rod and smiled at him with slanted eyes.
Compared to his lack of harvest, Brother Xiao Yong's fish box has a lot of results, and he is worthy of being a young master who has been exposed to the sea since he was a child, and this kind of thing is easy for Xue Yong, in contrast, He Tianran is purely a novice.
However, this time to go to sea was originally a pastime to pass the time, and it didn't matter if there was a harvest or not, He Tianran saw that the time was not early, packed up the fishing gear, and instructed:
"Go back, leave two tails of grouper, and let the rest go."
"Don't you want this real sea bream? Charcoal grilling is a must! ”
"The party restaurant is not a restaurant, and they may not necessarily do it if you bring it back, wasting ingredients."
"I know that there is a good restaurant in Nanshan that makes fish, you go back and send the fish to their house, just wait for the meal to be sent to them, and I have to help you get things when you get to the shore, so I won't follow."
"Okay, then you look at a few good fish, I'll go on the boat."
The two had a clear division of labor, and half an hour later, the sailboat returned to the dock.
Put a few fish goods into the trunk of the BMW, explain to Xue Yong the pickup location and the phone number of the handover, He Tianran began to drive alone to the restaurant where the fish goods were cooked, the address of the store was not far from the party hall two kilometers, He Tianran thought about the other dishes of the evening banquet, if the restaurant was good, he would directly book two tables.
And when passing through Nanshan Avenue and waiting for a red light gap, on the sidewalk outside the subway station, a familiar woman figure walked through He Tianran's afterglow, he was stunned, looked at the slender back on the side of the front of the car, and subconsciously pressed the horn.
The woman turned her head suspiciously, He Tianran saw her face clearly, beckoned to her with her hand, lowered the window, and the other party obviously saw He Tianran in the driver's seat clearly, and then turned around and walked back with a look of surprise.
"Natural Brother~"
"Today, the two of us are quite fated, let's get in the car first."
This woman is Yu Haoqiu, whom he only met not long ago, and she must be going to the party hall now.
"No, I saw you before I even got there."
The girl bypassed the front of the car, opened the door directly and sat in the passenger seat, and the natural tip of her nose also smelled a faint floral smell similar to peach blossoms.
There is one thing to say, Yu Haoqiu is a very unique beauty even in the eyes of the well-informed He Tianran, her appearance does not belong to the kind of "sweetness" in the context of today's Internet celebrities, because she has an oriental face shape but a pair of European-style high eyebrow arches, the deep eye sockets bring out a mixed-race beauty, the eye cleft is long and narrow, and the upper eyelid slightly covers the pupils, similar to azalea and Nana Komatsu, all of them have such eye shapes.
People with this kind of appearance generally give people a very "fierce" impression at first glance, but Yu Chaoqiu is not like this, the reason is that her mouth is very full, and when she opens slightly, she is very beautiful like a petal, and with other facial features, this softness is even more prominent, diluting the sharpness brought by many eyebrows and eyes, coupled with the faint fragrance of flowers and gentle conversation on her body, sitting next to her, she really has a feeling of peach blossoms.
He Tianran glanced at the red light above the front of the car, there were still thirty seconds, and in order to make this waiting time not unfamiliar, he took the initiative to ask:
"Where's your boyfriend? Why are you alone? ”
"Today I have a guest in the store to make an appointment for psychological counseling, so he doesn't have to wait for me, I didn't expect the guest to come halfway, I want to hurry over while it's okay, otherwise if there are guests coming, it may have to delay some time."
Yu Haoqiu adjusted the amplitude of the seat, she was about the same height as Cao Aiqing, but unlike the latter's comfort, she seemed to prefer a tighter angle, and the back seat was adjusted by her to be very straight, this kind of angle is generally only used to drivers who do not let their spirits relax because of comfort.
"Then you take a taxi, I think you're coming by subway?"
"By the way, it's very convenient, take Line 11 from Zhuguang Lane to Nanshan directly, don't you see me when I just get out of the station~"
"Haha, your idea is quite similar to your Sister Ai Qing, you don't usually drive?"
"It's on, but thinking that I'm going to have to drink at today's party, it's better to think about it."
"Reasonable, when I hear it like this, I feel that you have a good amount of alcohol to make trouble~ It seems that I have to be careful today."
"Oh, how can there be~ I'm just pouring a glass, but it's natural brother you, don't drink too much when you're happy, the wine hurts your body."
The green light came on, and the BMW was driving again.
He Tianran glanced sideways at Yu Naoqiu, who was lowering his head and fiddling with his mobile phone, and then asked:
"Zhang Zhifan should have arrived?"
The girl seemed very polite, and put down the phone as soon as there was a conversation, but she was not very sure about this question herself.
"It should have arrived, Zhifan made an appointment with me at this time, but I just sent him a message on the subway, and he hasn't replied to me now."
"I guess I was chatting with an old friend and didn't look at my phone......"
He Tianran turned around the center of the street with the steering wheel and asked:
"I heard you talk about it last time in your stadium, it seems that you and Zhang Zhifan...... Not long together, right? ”
"Well, it didn't take long, probably...... Two months ago, didn't he hold his own recital at the Grand Theater, and a mutual friend of ours asked me to go to see it, and the evening celebration party called me, so we got to know each other, and then ...... Well...... After about half a month, we were together. ”
He Tianran nodded and didn't say much.
In this era of efficiency, this is the love rhythm that modern urban men and women should have, on the other hand, He Tianran pursued Cao Aiqing from high school to college, and it was not until the two entered the society that they were officially together, this kind of protracted war is a minority of the few after all.
"I heard from a few friends before that when Zhifan was in high school before, he was very popular with girls, I wonder if he will meet one or two rivals in the past this time?"
Yu Haoqiu said jokingly.
"Huh~ It's all in the past, Zhang Zhifan didn't tell you himself? I also know it from my friends. ”
"We've been together for a short time, and we haven't had time to talk about a lot of things, by the way, Brother Nature, you should have been very popular at that time, right?"
In this regard, He Tianran smiled slightly, and he was not afraid of exposing the ugliness, he recalled and said:
"No, no, no, it's just the opposite, I woke up late, and I began to pay attention to my temperament and grooming when I got to college, I remember Zhang Zhifan in high school, he was popular, he was also handsome, and he played a piano that made the flowers around him not to mention, he was still a class leader who was highly valued by the teachers, and at that time he could envy our group of boys."
"It's normal for boys to mature late~"
Yu Haoqiu observed He Tianran's expression when he talked about the past, and said seriously:
"But Brother Nature, you...... It's really different from people like Zhifan and your brother. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Although people like them usually look approachable on the surface, they are very arrogant in their hearts, so they rarely verbally admit the excellence of another person in their generation.
He Tianran smiled: "So, how should I explain my performance psychologically?" ”
"This doesn't need any explanation, but if Brother Natural wants to hear something, then a common statement for this kind of performance is Brother He Tianran, you are peaceful and generous, open-minded, as the saying goes, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly......"
"What about uncommon statements?"
"Anyway, the prime minister's belly can support the boat."
“…… Heh~"
At this moment, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.
He Tianran took out his mobile phone, dialed Cao Aiqing's number, and instructed Yu Naoqiu:
"I have a few fish, I want to send them to this shop to help cook, I'll give you Sister Ai Qing, and you will ask her if Zhang Zhifan has arrived in a while, and by the way, let her do if the back kitchen of the party hall can handle today's fifty or so people, if the menu there is not good, I will directly order a few tables in the restaurant."
"Okay."
After that, he turned on the Bluetooth in the car, got out of the car after dialing the phone, opened the trunk and took out the fish.
Yu Naoqiu, who was sitting in the car, waited for a few seconds before the mobile phone was connected, and a song of Debussy's "Moonlight" came from the car stereo for the first time, followed by a soft music that was followed by a woman deliberately suppressing her voice......
……
……
“…… Feed? Natural. ”
At this time, in the huge living room of the party hall, many students had gathered, but now few people chatted loudly about the past, they either kept quiet, or kept their voices whispering in private, everyone's eyes gathered in a corner by the window, where the front of the piano sat a straight back, and the melodious notes around him jumped out of his slender five fingers, covering the entire hall.
"Ah...... Got it, I'll look for it later, and I'll call you...... Him? I just arrived, and now I'm playing the piano for us, and I wonder why I can't see you...... Well, don't be in a hurry, let nature drive slowly. ”
After Cao Aiqing received the call, she deliberately avoided a few steps and came to the crowd, Ye Jiaqi, who was closest to her, and Bai Tingting walked over when she saw this and asked:
"Who? Is Director He coming? ”
Cao Aiqing looked at the two girls who were obviously standing in front of her, and her eyes were constantly looking in the direction of the piano, and quipped:
"It's a woman who will make you die when she comes."
"Huh?"
The other party didn't know why, and the hostess of this party didn't bother to explain, so she said casually:
"Tingting, you help me take care of it in the living room, I'll go and discuss with the owner about our dinner, I'm naturally afraid that the food here won't work, and I want to order it directly from somewhere else."
"It's still you two who are thoughtful, let's go."
"Warn you, Xue Yongke will be here in a while, don't cheat~ Your eyes are closed!"
"Cao Aiqing, what are you talking about! Dead! ”
Bai Tingting was about to fight, Cao Aiqing took advantage of the situation to leave, and the piano music slowly came to an end at this moment, warm applause rang out in the living room, and the voices of the old classmates were endless.
"I haven't seen the squad leader for many years, but he is still as chic as ever~"
"Hey, a piece of music reminds me of my student days, what was the routine at that time, at that time, it was Zhang Da's class leader who finished playing the piano, and it was the turn of our literary and art committee to sing, if you encounter any welcome party or something, the next day a certificate of the best performance class will have to be posted next to our class bookboard."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, so according to convention, is it our turn to sing Wen Daxing~! And the accompaniment must be the squad leader to be delicious! ”
A few boys who had a different personality in the class have not changed much now, applauding and taking the lead.
Wen Liang, who was surrounded by girls, was standing in front of the crowd, quite a bit of the posture in the class back then, and now the past is repeated, she is also in a very good mood, and regardless of her star status, she immediately said to the boy who took the lead:
"Li Bin~! Are you here for our 50th anniversary reunion? My mom now goes out to play and knows to find a farmhouse with K room, now there is wheat upstairs, a little song machine, there is a box you don't go, you insist on pulling people to accompany the scene, you want to like the original ecological singing method so much, you will give us one on the spot! ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of people immediately laughed.
The boy sitting in front of the piano also stood up at this time, this person is Zhang Zhifan, the class leader of Class 2 in the first three years, and now he wears a long khaki windbreaker with a high-necked white sweater, and the lower body is a pair of matching Italian pleated commuter pants, the hairstyle is meticulous, and the bangs on the forehead are grabbed into a 64 open texture, and the whole body is full of a light mature man's temperament, like a male protagonist who came out of a Korean drama, no wonder he has had a high popularity among girls since he was in high school.
He slowly walked in front of Wen Liang, and the crowd that was still laughing stopped the noise in an instant, and everyone looked at the man and woman together, especially the few girls next to Wen Liang, who involuntarily lowered their voices, covered their mouths, and made an envious sound of "Wow-".
It seems that everyone is looking forward to the reunion of this "gossip couple" from high school after many years.
Zhang Zhifan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Ah Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Wen Liang first waved his hand, then lightly punched him in the chest, and said generously: "Ouch musician, it's ambiguous to be so polite, okay, I don't know if I think we are old lovers to meet, don't do it, sisters have a special identity now, and there can only be buddies by your side, thank you for your cooperation." ”
While Wen Liang's grinning and making fun of old things caused others to laugh, it cut off the space for reverie, which is also a disguised reminder to the students present that they are now a public figure, if the parties have no intention of continuing the front, then they should not be so noisy.
Zhang Zhifan didn't feel embarrassed, but said: "Ah Liang, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all." ”
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows, "Haven't you changed, you still like to play the piano as always, no one asked you to play the piano just now, and you sat down by yourself." ”
"But I still look handsome when I play the piano~"
"Ouch, do you need me to say this?" Wen Liang glanced at the girls around him left and right, and asked, "What do you say our squad leader did just now?" ”
"Handsome ——!"
The girls' answers were tacitly unified, and even a few boys mixed in, which was ridiculous.
In front of everyone's applause, Zhang Zhifan touched his nose, suddenly thought of something, and said to the beauty in front of him:
"By the way, Ah Liang, I have something to give you."
As he spoke, he turned around, took a vinyl record from his bag on the couch and handed it over.
Wen Liang thought that this was Zhang Zhifan's music performance collection, until she got it in her hand and looked at it, she was stunned, because the cover of this record was herself, and the picture she used was the one she had just sent to the surfing line not long ago......
A gloomy blue seashore, the faint flash illuminates the woman's face unusually white, the sea breeze blows her hair, she looks directly at the camera, her eyes are filled with a faint light.
This is the photo He Tianran took of her with his mobile phone at that time.
"This vinyl contains 24 of your songs from the INTERESTING period, but your band doesn't seem to have released a studio sound source, so it's all LIVE version, but don't worry, the sound quality has been repaired by someone else, and I spent a lot of effort to collect these materials."
Wen Liang was moved by the meticulousness of the preparation of this gift for a while, because she had heard Cao Aiqing say that he had a girlfriend before, so in the face of some of Zhang Zhifan's actions, Wen Liang did not think about the ambiguous aspect, but now, she was not sure what Zhang Zhifan's intention was to give herself this vinyl in such a crowd......
The authorities were still thinking, and the onlookers couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, after all, the vast majority of people present didn't know that Zhang Zhifan had a girlfriend, so they were suppressed by Wen Liang and brought up the old matter again.
"Wow, squad leader, are you going to give Sister Liang a gift alone? What about ours?!!! ”
"What do you know, others have feelings, who has feelings for you!"
"So back then...... Squad leader, who are you two chasing? I've been waiting for an answer for almost eight years! ”
"Ouch, it's really hard to talk about the feelings when I was a student...... But I still remember that the relationship between Sister Liang and Brother Fan was good at that time, usually a few of us boys who dare to talk to Sister Liang~ We all listened to her, hahahaha~"
"I still remember that Sister Liang secretly posted a photo of the squad leader in the circle of friends~"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's mysterious, and I pretend to be a selfie, thinking that others don't know, but we girls can see it, hahahahaha~"
In the face of the jokes and discussions of the old classmates around her, Wen Liang's eyes moved away from the photos of vinyl records, she looked up at Zhang Zhifan, it shouldn't be her to speak at this time, after all, it was up to her to say "Zhang Zhifan has a girlfriend, don't get me wrong" This kind of words may be even more misleading.
got a look to indicate that Zhang Zhifan also nodded "understandly", but the next sentence he said made Wen Liang unexpected......
"Alright, alright...... Don't talk about it anymore, it's been eight years since I graduated, and it's no secret that I like Ah Liang, you've been discussing whether you're tired or not? ”
Zhang Zhifan's words completely ignited the emotions of the students in the audience. (End of chapter)
