Chapter 67 Formal Relations
Bai Hui was not at home, Jiang Chuanyao followed Bai Mang and walked into her home.
Bai Mang's home is not a "cave" he imagined before, but a mountain villa with a rather designed style.
Compared to the brightly colored shell of the house, the interior decoration is cold.
Simple, clean and special.
It doesn't seem like anything, but every item is just right, no more, no less.
The whole house gave Jiang Chuanyao his first feeling: empty. Plenty of space and empty again.
There are no elegant ornaments, except for a white piano in the corner of the sofa with a sheet music on it.
…… She or her mother, Ms. Bai, should be able to play on a regular basis.
In the middle of the living room there is a fireplace made of stone walls, which has traces of charcoal burning. There are a lot of timbers piled up in front of the house near the left window, and it is indeed very interesting to have a fire in the mountains in winter.
Inside, near the north side, there are four hooks on the ceiling, which are supposed to be specially left over for the practice of aerial yoga or other techniques.
…… Someone is so active that they should be jumping up and down at home.
The staircase is an all-white revolving style that leads to the second floor bedroom.
The kitchen is in the north corner, across the dining room, a large one, and three double-door refrigerators are placed side by side against the wall.
Then, nothing else.
None of the sofas.
The dining chair is also a simple small round table with only two chairs. If he's going to stay for dinner tonight, he may need to stand.
This is all Jiang Chuanyao saw at a glance on the first floor of Bai Mang's house.
But this didn't surprise Jiang Chuanyao, except for the three refrigerators with huge capacity-
If there are only two people living in this family, these three huge refrigerators can store food for half a year.
In addition to electrification, the kitchenware also retains the original stovetop style.
Jiang Chuanyao's gaze lingered on the top of the stove, and there was a water scoop made of wood on it.
Bai Mang put his hands in his pockets, his chin raised slightly, and explained: "Our family has no natural gas, and we need electricity for cooking, and we can only use it for cooking when there are occasional power outages." ”
She pointed to the stove.
Jiang Chuanyao looked at his girlfriend: "Will you too?" ”
Of course, she's a fire-maker. She can use the stove to make a fragrant Northeast stew, and she can also use the torch below to roast a sweet potato that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
In an instant, Jiang Chuanyao found the answer to his long-doubted doubts in Bai Mang. Why does Bai Mang feel full of contradictions to him, and he is earthy and fan.
The first time he saw her in the cinema, she was dressed in cheap goods bought at the Lan City Night Market, and she was dressed indiscriminately without any matching research, relying on her face and figure to support her.
She is not like the pretty girls of this era, who have a clear sense of branding. Including her aesthetic for her surroundings and herself.
After Ning City, she entered Ding's house and contacted Fang Zixin and them, and she gave him a different sensibility.
When he went to Landa, he saw her again, she was indeed a freshman who had just entered college, she was very adaptable, and she was also full of judgment about interpersonal communication.
Only one person's habits are difficult to change.
During the time she and Lin Musen met, Lin Musen had no intention of talking about his girlfriend among his classmates, in a helpless and unbelievable tone.
"She can study all day and eat only two white steamed buns...... God! ”
Behind the so-called magic and incomprehension, there is a difference in her growth process.
-
Bai Mang has never brought friends to the house, first, she has no friends, and second, the people of Yuncheng are full of discussions about her and Bai Hui's life.
They talked about her and Bai Hui, and the female goblin gave birth to a goblin alone.
Bai Mang opened the double-door refrigerator on the far right, took a bottle of water from it, and handed it to Jiang Chuanyao.
Jiang Chuanyao took the water, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and didn't drink it, he was tall and straight standing in front of Bai Mang, his eyes fell on Bai Mang's unnatural look and hand movements.
"Because of my presence, you are uncomfortable?"
Bai Mang denied: "No." ”
For a long time, this place was like the territory of her and Bai Hui, and there were almost no guests here.
"When will your mom be back?"
Bai Mang muttered, "Hell, she has her business." ”
There was no car parked in the front yard, indicating that the car was driven down the mountain by Bai Hui. If the car is there, Bai Hui is at home. For a long time, Bai Mang also judged whether Bai Hui was at home through the car.
Dinner time is almost up.
There is a lot of food in the refrigerator, Bai Mang is very used to eating all kinds of quick-frozen food, but Jiang Chuanyao sent her home all the way, and she didn't want to invite him to eat a bowl of quick-frozen dumplings.
"Let's go down the mountain for a big dinner, we can call it Zhou Zhouyue." Bai Mang proposed.
Jiang Chuanyao: "...... I'm fine. ”
"Then do you contact Zhou Yue, or me?"
Jiang Chuanyao: "I'll do it." ”
Jiang Chuanyao went to the backyard to make a call. The backyard was overgrown with weeds, and in the unbridled grass were a few thin, dwarf loofah seedlings, apparently the result of casual sowing and untending care.
Jiang Chuanyao had an urge to weed and turn over the soil for this yard.
Though...... He wasn't good at it either.
But he is a strong man, and it is not difficult to do these things.
Zhou Yue's contact information, Jiang Chuanyao had it two years ago, and it was stored in the address book. The phone was connected, and Jiang Chuanyao bluntly knew that Zhou Yue and the others were in Yuncheng, and proposed to have dinner together.
Zhou Yue happened to return to Cloud City, and immediately agreed, his voice faintly excited.
Jiang Chuanyao asked Zhou Yue to set a place, and Zhou Yue fell into a half-thought, and proposed to be near Yunchuan High School.
"There is a local stir-fry near our high school, and the taste is okay." Zhou Yue said.
"Okay." Jiang Chuanyao doesn't pick places or tastes. Bai Mang is the same kind of person as him.
"Brother Yao, I'll treat you to dinner." Even though his tone was full of irrepressible excitement, Zhou Yue also safely took out the host's politeness and offered to treat him to dinner.
Jiang Chuanyao gently refused: "No, someone invited me." ”
“…… Friends? Zhou Yue asked. I don't mind inviting Brother Yao's friends together.
"It's not my usual friend, it's my girlfriend."
Zhou Yue reacted and asked in surprise: "She is from Yuncheng?" ”
Jiang Chuanyao looked at a strange tree in the corner of the courtyard, his natural biology was very average, and he didn't recognize what kind of tree it was, he only felt that the branches were bent and the branches were dry, and the small leaves that grew on it were very fresh.
Breathe through life.
Jiang Chuanyao did not have any ambiguity, and directly explained the identity of his girlfriend: "Yes, she is from Yuncheng." Her name is Bai Mang, and she should be your classmate. ”
“…… Forehead. ”
Zhou Yue was quiet for half a second, and then a faint voice came from Jiang Chuanyao's earpiece.
"Yes. Bai Mang is my classmate. ”
Jiang Chuanyao came to Cloud City for the first time, but it was not the first time he saw Zhou Yue. The year Zhou Mingcheng died, he saw Zhou Yue, a boy who had not yet developed, and came to Ning City alone with his grandmother to understand the situation.
That was the first time Jiang Chuanyao had an understanding of Zhou Mingcheng's previous family situation.
A poor and distressed family has grown up two boys with different understandings of life's suffering. Zhou Mingcheng lives a warm life full of dreams, and has a positive desire for love and friendship.
Zhou Yue is the opposite of his brother, and his perception of reality is clearer and more specific than that of his brother Zhou Mingcheng, so Zhou Yue is cold and hardworking, silent and pragmatic.
He doesn't need a lot of useless emotions to be able to judge what is most important to him.
-
Bai Mang went up to the second floor to change his clothes, a simple thin shirt and a pair of old jeans. She sent a message to Bai Hui, and Bai Hui replied to her: "It's all taken home, just treat it well, there is still a quick-frozen Australian dragon in the refrigerator." ”
Audragon ...... Let's eat it tomorrow.
Her family has only two bedrooms, but Bai Hui has a studio with a flattenable sofa bed. Bai Mang sat in Jiangchuan Yao's car, ready to go down the mountain to eat, and took the initiative to propose: "At night, you can stay at my house and sleep, sleep in my bedroom." ”
Jiang Chuanyao didn't refuse, and looked at her: "Your mother won't mind?" ”
Bai Mang: "She asked me to treat you well." ”
Jiang Chuanyao: "...... Good. ”
Compared with going up the mountain, Jiang Chuanyao got off the car and drove much smoother.
As night falls, the town below is lit up and gathers into a long, white strip of light, hidden in this tranquil col.
Two turns, the black SUV merges into the traffic of the small town.
Jiang Chuanyao's car, regardless of the license plate or model, is very eye-catching in the street market of Yuncheng.
In Bai Mang's mobile phone, Zhou Yue also sent her a location, Bai Mang didn't know that there was also a store that operated a private restaurant at the side entrance of the school. She checked the reputation of this store on her mobile phone, and it was still a five-star good store.
The old school was surrounded by tall trees, and the mist covered the street lamps, and most of the light was blocked by leaves.
Jiang Chuanyao looked for a place to park, and Bai Mang got out of the car at the intersection first, carrying a melon bought on the side of the road. She walked straight down the alley, and a male voice behind her called her name.
Bai Mang's back couldn't help but straighten up, deliberately covering his ears and frowning, and continued to walk forward.
The man behind her called her name again, and his tone was deep and soft. Not a little more suspicious than before, he confirmed her identity, stepped forward with an arrow, and Bai Mang turned around and faced the person who was following her.
The man is about 1.75 meters, very gentlemanly and handsome, with bangs that are not long or short, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his mouth is extremely thin, and his body is thin and thin.
The man was wearing a black electronic watch on his wrist, he put down the hand that was going to grab her, and then showed a very surprised look, and smiled with a smile: "Bai Mang, it's really you." I can't be wrong about your back......"
Bai Mang took a step back, his legs folded, and his eyes glanced at the other party defensively.
"Teacher Lan-" put away his anger, Bai Mang still politely called the other party's teacher.
"Remember calling someone, I thought you had forgotten about me." The man chuckled, looking at the sharpness of his eyes.
"You are my first-year high school class teacher and my mentor, how could I forget you." Bai Mang said lightly.
"Last month's thank-you banquet, why didn't I see you?" Teacher Lan made a joke.
The beautiful face was slightly raised, and the expression was slightly cool: "Because I'm busy." ”
Teacher Lan smiled, obviously not believing Bai Mang, thinking that she was lying. He showed his slightly yellowed teeth and deliberately told her: "After the college entrance examination, you should often go back to school to see, you are a star student of our school." Don't see the outside world, don't fly back. ”
Bai Mang took a light breath and was about to speak-
A tall figure walked towards her in three steps and two steps, and his steps were extremely fast without losing his aura. The dim street lamp of the small alley obliquely blocked Jiang Chuanyao's figure in front of her.
Almost covered Lan Shengyuan from behind.
"Bai Mang, who is he?" Jiang Chuanyao asked her out loud while putting his hand on her shoulder.
Bai Mang looked up at Jiang Chuanyao, in Lan Shengyuan's slightly stiff and embarrassed look, Bai Mang regained her ease and calmness, she glanced at the other party and said, "Teacher Lan, my first-year high school class teacher." ”
Jiang Chuanyao also glanced at the other party lightly and spoke: "Teacher Lan." ”
Lan Shengyuan breathed steadily, his eyes were bright and dim, and he stared at her: "I got a boyfriend when I went to college." ”
Bai Mang returned this gaze and replied calmly: "That's right, he's my boyfriend." ”
Lan Shengyuan: "Okay...... Not bad. ”
Bai Mang's face was gloomy, until Jiang Chuanyao introduced to Lan Shengyuan: "To be precise, it's not an ordinary boyfriend, but the kind that wants to get married." ”
Lan Shengyuan fell into two seconds of thought.
"Goodbye, teacher, I have the opportunity to visit you again." Jiang Chuanyao spoke very politely, but his tone was not good, revealing coolness. He has never been a person who respects teachers, not to mention his first feeling: Bai Mang's reaction to this teacher is unfriendly.
Without further ado, Jiang Chuanyao took Bai Mang, turned around and walked into the alley.
Not far away, Zhou Yue was already waiting at the door of the private restaurant.
Tall, wearing a white shirt, he looks thin and clean, and he is a well-mannered boy.
He saw Bai Mang and Jiang Chuanyao coming hand in hand, and then saw Lan Shengyuan standing at the entrance of the alley, his mouth was slightly tense, until Bai Mang walked in front of him and slowly pulled out an unfamiliar smile: "Long time no see, Bai Mang." ”
After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Chuanyao and said, "Brother Yao, I am Zhou Yue, and you are welcome to Cloud City." ”
