411. Old dreams
Qixingtang is not a pond, but a huge lagoon separated from the sea by a sand bank.
When Lu Mingfei was in junior high school, the sand bank was the most famous love mecca in the area, and when night fell, boys and girls could be seen holding hands and leaning against each other.
Where there are a lot of people, there are business opportunities, first someone rode a tricycle to sell wontons and beef noodles, then a crayfish restaurant opened in the nearby fishing village, followed by a small bar, a hot pot restaurant, and even a foot bath...... I don't know why someone would open a foot bath in the holy land of love, this kind of brain circuit is incomprehensible.
And Lu Mingfei always felt that this approach was a bit familiar - there was a smell of neurosis everywhere.
If you think about it carefully, isn't this something that neurotic characters like Gu Bei and Fingal can do?
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei had a sense of intimacy with the foot bath.
He was even thinking about whether he should open an Internet café next door to Footbath City, and then let Don have an entire barbecue restaurant — or simply go straight to the three-in-one, where customers can soak their feet and eat crayfish while surfing the Internet.
This emerging business model should be well received, right?
Lu Mingfei thought endlessly in his mind.
Completely ignoring the feelings of the other two people at the table.
In fact, Chen Wenwen didn't expect to meet Lu Mingfei - she just came out to buy books as usual.
Although she is a rich lady, Chen Wenwen has no delicate temperament at all except for being a little young, not only likes to go shopping by herself, but also rarely takes a private car, and goes out either by bus or bicycle, which has a taste of having fun with the people.
Even when I go out to buy books, I often walk alone.
When she wanted someone to help, she never called for help, but only softly asked if she could help - but even so, there were a bunch of people rushing to serve her.
Because of this, a group of girls in Shilan Middle School nicknamed Chen Wenwen Daji behind their backs - it means that Chen Wenwen is the demon concubine of Shilan Middle School, and she has brought disaster to the country and the people.
But Chen Wenwen didn't react to this, I don't know if it was to maintain a calm character or really didn't care about other people's opinions, anyway, her performance was consistent.
When it comes to the demon concubine of Shilan Middle School, I have to mention the empress who is as famous as the demon concubine - Lord Su Xiaoqiao, there must be pomp and circumstance when traveling, and the red carpet is paved for the convoy pick-up and drop-off - in fact, it is a bit exaggerated, but Su Xiaoqiao is indeed a rare character who can eat the vast majority of Shilan students, regardless of gender.
The last one to do this was Chu Zihang.
This is a great cause that even Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei have not completed, if Shilan Middle School's list allows girls to be on the list, then Su Xiaoqiao must be the first on the list.
Speaking of Su Xiaoqiao, Lu Mingfei's heart flew away again, he now wanted to go back to the apartment to see the information that Lu Mingze had brought to him, but the situation was stronger than people.
In fact, when Zhao Menghua first met Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei wanted to turn around and leave, but when Chen Wenwen stopped him, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the words left by Lu Mingze before leaving-fate cannot escape, cannot resist, can only bear it, and then solve it.
To be honest, Lu Mingfei felt that this kid must have opened his vision, and he said this to him on purpose.
Well, Lu Mingfei admitted that he did have some idea of escaping, after all, he is not a scumbag, and it is impossible to have the kind of bridge where he is rejected for breaking up and then becoming a good friend.
Rather than sit together face to face and be so embarrassed that you don't know what to say, it's better to just not see it.
So Lu Mingfei had this idea and decided to retreat after a few greetings, Chen Wenwen spoke: "It's rare to meet during the winter vacation, find a place to sit, it just so happens that I also have something to tell you."
The other party said so, what can Lu Mingfei do?
Let's go.
So things became the way they are now, Lu Mingfei, Chen Wenwen, and Zhao Menghua, who came to Qixingtang together and said that they wanted to be the messenger of the flowers.
Today's Qixingtang is more lively than that of junior high school, with a full flow of people
for the trouble.
In order to expand the scope of business, the merchants built a floating platform in the lagoon, built a shed on the floating platform, and fixed the entire floating platform to the shore with iron chains.
Occasionally, when the water is high, it crosses the sand bank and enters the lagoon, but most of the time the lagoon is only a gentle breeze and gentle waves, and those taut iron chains ensure the stability of the pontoon.
In fact, you don't have to be so troublesome, it's winter now, and the pontoon platform is directly locked by the ice, and you can't shake it up at all.
Just in time for the meal, Lu Mingfei was familiar with the road, so he got on a floating platform first, found a seat on the side and sat down, ordered a table full of crayfish and skewers, and stepped on a case of beer.
Chen Wenwen sat opposite Lu Mingfei in a long white cotton skirt, HelloKitty's gloves and scarf were taken off and put aside, and her beret was also taken off, and her long black hair was scattered like a waterfall.
She was holding a skewer and eating it carefully.
Zhao Menghua was peeling crayfish while counting and said, "Lu Mingfei is really you, didn't you see the white dress Chen Wenwen wore today?" What if she gets her clothes dirty?"
Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and glanced at him: "If you are not satisfied, you can go, I didn't stop you."
When Zhao Menghua heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Chen Wenwen, let's go, I remember that there is a newly opened Western restaurant near here, and the chef in it is from France, and the French food is very authentic."
Lu Mingfei felt ridiculous when he heard it, of course the French food made by the French was authentic, but it was not necessarily in line with the taste of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, it can only be said that the French food made by the French must be more satisfactory to the French - anyway, Lu Mingfei was fortunate enough to taste it once, and it felt that it was not as delicious as the tofu brain made by the aunt downstairs.
Although he thought so, his face was silent, and he just gulped down meat.
Chen Wenwen shook her head at Zhao Menghua very politely: "I have something to say to Lu Mingfei, Zhao Menghua, if you can't get used to eating, go over there to eat first."
Zhao Menghua, a student, didn't understand this, but Lu Mingfei, an old oilman, understood it, and the meaning of Chen Wenwen's words was that you should go quickly, and I would talk to Lu Mingfei about some personal matters.
However, although Zhao Menghua didn't understand, he also knew that Chen Wenwen and Lu Mingfei couldn't leave private space at this time, otherwise the ghost knows what would happen?
Zhao Menghua believed that Chen Wenwen would not like Lu Mingfei, but he didn't dare to hold the pillow, and Lu Mingfei completely broke off his thoughts about Chen Wenwen.
So he hurriedly made up for it: "It's okay, I'm used to eating, and I often barbecue in the yard when I'm at home, and my craftsmanship is not bad."
As he spoke, he called the waiter to put on a charcoal stove, and then took half-cooked skewers and roasted them on the stove rack.
Lu Mingfei didn't bother to care about him, and ate meat and drank wine by himself.
Chen Wenwen didn't speak again, took a small bite of the skewers in her hand, her eyes wandered on the ice, looking at the falling snowflakes, and she looked preoccupied.
Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, one only knows how to eat, and the other doesn't know what they are thinking in their heads, they are each immersed in their own worlds, but Zhao Menghua, who seems to be chattering, is a little redundant, and he shut up after a while.
In fact, Lu Mingfei just wanted to finish eating quickly, talk to Chen Wenwen by the way, and then go home to read the information, Zhao Menghua just didn't want to let Chen Wenwen and Lu Mingfei be alone, and no one knew what Chen Wenwen was thinking.
Something was brewing in silence.
Finally, Chen Wenwen took the lead in breaking the silence, took out a bottle from the beer box at Lu Mingfei's feet, opened it, and then held it straight in front of Lu Mingfei.
The heroism of that action is not like Chen Wenwen's usual style at all - Lu Mingfei even saw Su Xiaoqiao's shadow from her for a moment.
Chen Wenwen held the bottle of wine that had just been opened, touched it at the wine that Lu Mingfei had already drunk half a bottle on the table, and then raised her head......
Knock Knock Knock......
Half of the bottle went down, Zhao Menghua came back to his senses, and rushed up to snatch the wine bottle from Chen Wenwen's hand: "Oh, what are you doing!"
Chen Wenwen shook her head: "I'm fine."
It's fine
, probably few people know that Chen Wenwen's alcohol consumption is not bad, she secretly measured her alcohol consumption when she was just in high school, and she even came into contact with Su Xiaoqiao earlier than Su Xiaoqiao in terms of drinking.
It's just that in the eyes of others, Chen Wenwen has always been a good girl, and drinking will never happen to Chen Wenwen - this is the so-called stereotype.
But these people also forget that no matter how good Chen Wenwen is, no matter how mature her thinking is compared to her peers, in the final analysis, she is also a child who is in a rebellious period - how can there be a good girl at this age, and it is already the best situation if she is not a bear child.
Therefore, what Chen Wenwen shows every day is disguise.
She and Liu Miaomiao are the same kind of people, both of them are the type to cover their true selves with a perfect mask, the difference is that Liu Miaomiao is forced, while Chen Wenwen is chosen by herself.
She was originally a restless person, even more rebellious than Su Xiaoqiao - but no one had ever been able to take off her mask, never.
Half a bottle of beer was in her stomach, although Chen Wenwen didn't feel anything, she still blushed in condition, her eyes stared at Lu Mingfei directly, and only after a long time did she say, "I'm sorry."
Zhao Menghua hurriedly said, "Chen Wenwen, what are you talking about!?"
Lu Mingfei just ate meat and didn't speak.
Chen Wenwen took a deep breath, and then said seriously, "I'm sorry, really."
Lu Mingfei swallowed the meat in his mouth, picked up the crayfish from the side and began to peel the shell: "You don't need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong. There's no right or wrong thing to do."
"That's not what I'm talking about," Chen Wenwen shook her head, "It's all the things before that, I knew but ......."
"Stop." Lu Mingfei raised his hand, "The past is gone, to be honest, I'm not a magnanimous person, so don't talk about being friends all the time in the future, but I'm not so small-bellied, and I won't hold on to some things after they have passed."
Lu Mingfei stuffed the peeled crayfish into his mouth, and then said, "You're just an old dream."
"Old dreams?"
Lu Mingfei stared at the pair of clear eyes on the other side: "Everyone has old dreams, and when they wake up from old dreams, that person has really grown up."
After speaking, he took the half bottle of beer and touched the bottle in Chen Wenwen's hand: "Respect for growth."
Knock Knock Knock......
Chen Wenwen was stunned for a moment, smiled suddenly, and raised her head, cooing and cooing......
Zhao Menghua sat in the middle of the two, watching the two of them look up to the sky and drink, and couldn't help but have a ridiculous feeling in his heart.
The goddess in the hearts of the men of the entire Shilan Middle School, Chen Wenwen, who has always been a good girl, clinked glasses with that Lu Mingfei and blew bottles?
If this kind of thing is said to be true, I'm afraid that the whole Shilan Middle School will think that he is crazy.
In fact, even Zhao Menghua felt like he was crazy, otherwise how could he have such a dream?
Zhao Menghua pinched his thigh.
It hurts, it's not a dream.
It's true.
Zhao Menghua felt like a clown - he even heard some children laughing at him behind his back, but Zhao Menghua looked back and saw only a flash of a small suit.
Lu Mingfei put down the wine bottle and saw that Chen Wenwen hadn't finished drinking yet, so he got up: "I'll go to the toilet."
No one responded, because Chen Wenwen was drinking, and Zhao Menghua was in a daze.
But it didn't matter, he didn't want to respond.
Come to the counter and pay the bill, and leave.
Lu Mingfei walked out of the barbecue restaurant, merged into the flow of people, took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.
"Hey? Sister Hua?"
"It's me, Lu Mingfei."
"I didn't change the number, I accidentally lost the number before when I went out on a mission with Boss Gu, and I haven't had time to redo it yet."
"Yes, the Boss is back too...... Brother Yan didn't tell you?"
"I'll be back for two or three days."
"No
Open? He can't block you, right? Hahahaha......"
"Okay, I'm not smiling, I know, I'll tell him about it."
"There is one more thing, Sister Hua, you arrange someone for me to come over, preferably a girl, and send a girl home."
"It's not a split, why is Sister Hua even gossiping about you like this?"
"It's Wenwen Chen...... How do you know?"
"You can even find out this kind of thing!? Isn't it a bit of an invasion of employee privacy that we can communicate with each other?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"It's nothing, it's just that she suddenly asked me out for a drink...... It's really nothing!"
"Anyway, you send someone over quickly, she doesn't know how much she drinks, but if she gets drunk, it's not safe to be alone."
"It's not a concern, I'm here to protect the safety of the citizens, we can't do anything but do this?"
"Address? Qixingtang, you can just let Bai Ze lock the location of my phone."
"Okay, I haven't forgotten, I'll tell the boss."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Hua."
"Okay, goodbye."
Hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei felt relaxed for a while, and a song suddenly popped up in his mind.
What is it called...... Dreams? Wrong...... Dreams?
That's right, so dream.
Lu Mingfei walked in the crowd and hummed softly.
"Old memories are like a window,
It's hard to close when you push it open,
Whoever has stepped on a dead branch makes a soft sound,
Fireflies paint the incense of the painting screen,
For whom a sleeve is fragrant,
The letterhead of the autumn leaves is affectionate,
He said that he would wander like this,
...... to a beautiful place."
