Chapter Thirty-Seven: Youth Can't Be Kept
Come to the memorial service - oh no, it's the classmates at the class reunion who are almost here, but forced by Lu Mingfei's aura, their expressions have become serious, and even the words are whispered, as if a slightly louder voice is disrespectful to the deceased, although there is actually no deceased, this is not a memorial service.
Lu Mingfei nodded to each guest like a funeral master of ceremonies, and everyone sat down, quieter than in high school.
Although the guests are almost here, even the little piano beauty Liu Miaomiao, who has never been active in the literary club, has arrived, but Zhao Menghua, the financial owner who held this party, has not yet arrived, and Chen Wenwen, who invited Lu Mingfei to come over, is nowhere to be seen.
Lu Mingfei mourned his youth for a while and felt a little bored, so he got up and wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't expect that as soon as he pushed the door, there was a "bang".
I looked at a big face outside the door, with a red mark in the middle, which was touched by the glass door, which said Cao Cao Cao, who is not today's big money Zhao Menghua?
"I'm fine." Lu Mingfei said that the first thing every student said when they came in today was to ask themselves if they were okay, and they were a bit of a conditioned reflex.
"I ......" Zhao Menghua covered half of his face, and when he looked up and saw Lu Mingfei, the anger rolled in his stomach several times, but it didn't come out, "I have something ...... something."
It's not that he Zhao Menghua is afraid, it's just that the expression on Lu Mingfei's face seems to be a funeral, Zhao Menghua feels that he is going to say a word of "mourning" to himself in the next sentence, he can't figure out what kind of road this is, and he didn't dare to say anything more for a while.
Lu Mingfei went out, Zhao Menghua entered the door, and the moment the door closed, Lu Mingfei heard a sudden noise in the room.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, the midday sun was just right, and there happened to be nothing in the empty aisle that could block the sight of the two people, Lu Mingfei looked at it, his long hair and long skirt swayed slightly in the midsummer wind, the white cotton skirt, the overlapping hands on the skirt held a book, full of summer flavor.
It is the taste of the dead youth.
Lu Mingfei smiled at Chen Wenwen, his gaze did not dodge, he said, "Are you here?" That's right, you're the only one missing. ”
Chen Wenwen also smiled and nodded to him, but maybe because she didn't sleep well, her face was not very good-looking.
Lu Ming opened the door impolitely to let Chen Wenwen go in first, and when he entered the door again, the people present quieted down.
A group of people's eyes stared at Lu Mingfei, but this didn't bring him any pressure, in the academy, he was stared at by a group of Xiaolongren with sharper eyes I don't know how many times, he waved his hand and said to everyone present: "Everyone hasn't seen you for a long time, eat and drink well." ”
So everyone's eyes left Lu Mingfei, and the previous hot situation was restored.
Zhao Menghua was a little depressed by Lu Mingfei's anti-guest speech, but at this time, Lu Mingfei had already sat down, and he didn't have much to say, after all, there were more important things today, and he couldn't be stumped by Lu Mingfei.
At this time, the other seats were already full, only the seat next to Lu Mingfei, for some special reasons, no one dared to sit there, of course, Chen Wenwen, who came last, sat there.
Lu Mingfei glanced at Zhao Menghua, he was sitting next to Liu Miaomiao, talking and laughing, and then at Chen Wenwen, his face was gloomy, I have to say that the bystanders can see it clearly, Lu Mingfei suddenly understood in his heart, knowing that the dumplings he had for this vinegar bag today were not in vain, so he turned around and returned to his Supreme Throne with a luxurious toilet seat.
Chen Wenwen lowered her head, sending a text message as if no one was around, she sent one, and Zhao Menghua's mobile phone rang. Lu Mingfei's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he could see the content of Chen Wenwen's text message on the screen of his mobile phone, with such an appetizing dish, the pizza in his hand felt a lot more delicious.
"I didn't wear the bracelet I gave you for my birthday last year......"
"Did you receive the text message you just sent? The ...... of the bracelet"
"Roger, I didn't wear it today, it's too hot."
Lu Mingfei took a bite of the pizza, chewed and swallowed.
"Well, it's too hot, I had insomnia last night, I always think about the past, I can only sleep for an hour or two at a time, do you sleep well?"
"It's okay, you can drink a glass of milk before going to bed and you'll be fine."
"Do you still think of me?"
"Don't think too much, everyone is still classmates."
Lu Mingfei suddenly glanced at the pizza, as if it was something strange.
"Last night I dreamed that I was rowing on a river, I texted you to ask where you were, you said you were waiting for me on the bridge in front, I rowed forward, but there was fog all around, I paddled for a long time and I didn't see the bridge, I texted you again, you said you were still waiting for me on the bridge. I don't think the bridge will be behind me, will it? I paddled back, but the water was flowing too fast, so I kept going...... I woke up. ”
"Don't think too much, don't dream when you're quiet."
"Do you know what I mean by dreaming?"
"I understand, but I don't want to hear it, it's boring, it's good for us to say less."
"You don't want to listen to me anymore, do you have a new girlfriend?"
"Don't ask! Let's have a good bite to eat at today's party! You always text Lu Mingfei next to you and look at it! ”
Lu Mingfei felt that Zhao Menghua might not be able to know that he could see Chen Wenwen texting, but he didn't like that a person could refuse in this way, which made him a little more insightful.
Chen Wenwen was still editing text messages, and Lu Mingfei saw that she wrote and deleted it, and hesitated: "Don't be angry, if you find a new girlfriend, I will wish"
The word "Fu" in the back did not come out, Chen Wenwen deleted the written text message, put the mobile phone on the table, lowered her head and began to drink creamy mushroom soup.
Lu Mingfei threw the remaining half of the pizza back on the plate, a little distracted.
It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that not only his own youth, but also the youth of others would die together with the passage of time, and it turned out that no matter who he was, liking someone who didn't like him would be very humble.
It turns out that everyone should hold a memorial service for their youth.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that this crowded pizza parlor was a little irritating, and this was not the atmosphere that a memorial service should have.
The mobile phone in his pants rang, and Lu Mingfei took it out to see that it was a text message, and the sender's note was "Senior Brother Waste Firewood".
As soon as I clicked on it, another text message came, showing that the sender was "Nono".
Lu Mingfei took this opportunity to get out of the private room, and clicked on these two text messages at the end of the corridor outside.
The first is Fingal's: "Happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, every day of your life, don't care how you spend your birthday...... I have already practiced Zheng Zhihua's "Happy Birthday", this is the first Chinese song I can sing, and the attached audio is the audio I recorded for you as a birthday gift, and you also know that Senior Brother is as poor as a dog, and the gift of spending money is free. "Accompanying the text message was an attachment.
Quite Fingal-style text messages, Lu Mingfei was a little moved, until he smiled and clicked on the attachment, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become distorted.
Senior Brother Waste Wood usually looks unreliable, but in fact, he is a person who does things very carefully, such as this Zheng Zhihua's "Happy Birthday", you can hear his 120,000 points of heart, but some things are not in the right direction, the harder you work, the more terrible it is, Fingal's song let Lu Mingfei evaluate it, it can only be described as a soul singer, it is all feelings, no skills, when he listens to it, he feels that his soul is going to fly away from the heavenly spirit cover, and he deserves to say that the soul singer deserves it.
What Nuno sent was an MMS message, a song she recorded, Lu Mingfei clicked on it, and it was a very cheerful tune: "Happy birthday to you, Li Ya Ricardo, I wish you a happy birthday, Li Ya Ricardo......"
Lu Mingfei listened and listened, and laughed inexplicably, he still remembered that day they drove the Bugatti Veyron down the mountain, and the car stereo played this song "Fight Fight Fight Landlord", and then they rushed all the way, knocking the old Tang on a Harley motorcycle away, and they didn't know that they had hit a dragon king at that time.
In a happier mood, Lu Mingfei walked to the bathroom, and just turned into the corridor in front of the toilet, he stopped the car.
He pricked up his ears and began to listen to the corner.
"If you don't tell her, she will know sooner or later, and she will not see each other for the rest of her life?" It was Liu Miaomiao's voice.
"Her personality is like that, the whole Lin Daiyu is like being reincarnated, complaining blindly all day long, annoying people to death, what can be the result of telling her? She must have been entangled again, as if I owed her. This is Zhao Menghua's voice.
"Don't say that about her...... Didn't you keep saying that she was good when you were with her? Liu Miaomiao's voice lowered.
"It's okay not to look at the surface, I don't understand until I get along, how did I know that she was this character at the beginning, she looks quiet and quiet, she is blind and sensitive, she is depressed for a while, she starts to pretend to be pitiful for a while, and she is so arrogant that she is going to death for a while, it seems that the world has to revolve around her, it is too difficult to serve, anyway, I can't bear it." Zhao Menghua explained, as if he was quite aggrieved.
"If we break up in the future...... You're not going to say the same about me, are you? ”
"There won't be a day when we can't be separated! The two of us are going to get married and grow old, and I broke up with you when my brain was in water. Zhao Menghua immediately said.
Lu Mingfei listened to the corner, and said in his heart that Zhao Menghua is indeed not simple, the words are really a set, when there were three major classes in the class, Su Xiaoqiao also chased him, he took Chen Wenwen with his backhand, and now he has dumped Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao hooked up, it is really the standard script of a winner in life.
In fact, when the class was beautiful, first Su Xiaoqiao and Liu Miaomiao competed for the first and second, and then it was Chen Wenwen's turn to sit in third, the reason why Chen Wenwen was able to be tied with them was mainly because of her temperament, without any subjective judgment, Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiao were indeed better looking than Chen Wenwen.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, the world is changing really fast, looking up and seeing that everyone has changed a lot, even when he was young and ignorant, he liked Chen Wenwen, but now it seems that he is not looking at others with a filter?
Thinking like this, Lu Mingfei walked out of the corner and said hello to Zhao Menghua and Liu Miaomiao, who were about to snuggle together: "Yo, such a coincidence?" You're going to the toilet too, huh? ”
Normal people must not greet like this, greeting like this should be classified as "legal but sick", Zhao Menghua stiffly withdrew the hand that was about to put it on Liu Miaomiao's shoulder, and then said even more stiffly: "No, let's not go to the toilet......"
"It's okay, I'll go to the bathroom." Lu Mingfei nodded, and then went into the toilet.
Listening to the movement of the two people fleeing outside, Lu Mingfei was a little happy, and he seemed to understand a little bit of Nuo Nuo's happiness when he didn't play cards according to the routine.
The faucet of the sink next to him was turned on, Lu Mingfei turned his head to look, the smile on his face disappeared, he scratched his head and sighed.
Chen Wenwen didn't seem to see him, she reached out and slapped some water on her face, her face was pale and full of tiredness.
Lu Mingfei could see that she was holding on, but no one could keep the tail of youth, that thing didn't talk about feelings, and if she died, she would never live again.
Chen Wenwen wiped her face with a tissue, straightened her hair, and then took a deep breath and puffed up her chest, as if Joan of Arc was about to go to the final battlefield.
"Don't say anything, make promises." Chen Wenwen turned her head and said to Lu Mingfei.
That was the style she used to talk to Lu Mingfei when she used to talk to her, in the past in the literary club, she arranged Lu Mingfei to do any tasks, and she would add a sentence at the end of "to guarantee", in fact, Lu Mingfei himself didn't know what his guarantee could do.
"Yes, guaranteed." Lu Mingfei said, as before.
The world is like this, when some people begin to mourn their youth, others are trying their best to preserve it.
If we could go back in time, would we be able to save something? Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen's back as she left and shook his head.
This girl's obsession is much deeper than his, but it ends here, and she won't last long.
Lu Mingfei looked up at the ceiling of the toilet, and wanted to express some feelings similar to the joys and sorrows of people who are not connected, but finally sighed and walked out of the toilet.
After all, he can't bear to see such a scene, he has been like this since he was a child, playing games must be played to a good ending, when watching "Titanic", he slipped away when he saw Jack finally dying, his artistic consciousness is not high, he always dare not appreciate the beauty of tragedy, and he is sympathetic, and he will contribute his little breakfast money to buy something for them to eat when he sees the stray cats and dogs on the street.
Seeing Chen Wenwen face the destined ending like a lonely brave, Lu Mingfei couldn't be indifferent.
Back in the private room, Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen, she looked quiet, as before, the people around her were happy, she looked a little out of place.
Zhao Menghua and Liu Miaomiao shared pizza, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Wenwen opposite, and there were some strange emotions churning in his eyes. He cleared his throat and reached into his pocket, looking like a leader was going to speak, Liu Miaomiao pulled him under the table, but he broke free.
Lu Mingfei knew that it was coming, he stared at the Coke cup in front of him, and it was a pity why it was empty.
Zhao Menghua held up a blue velvet jewelry box and glanced down at Liu Miaomiao, who avoided his gaze a little shyly, and her face was as red as if she had drunk wine.
"It's just that the classmates are here today, OK brothers, all eyes are on me, look at me, look at me, I announce something." Zhao Menghua opened the jewelry box and revealed the Tiffany platinum wire ring inside.
"Liu Miaomiao, everyone can't chase me in the future, whoever chases me will turn his face with whom...... We're getting engaged, see? It's an engagement ring! Zhao Menghua said in high spirits.
"Huh-"
Lu Mingfei made a disdainful sound like a flat bicycle tire.
"You're still turning your face with someone? Who did you turn the other face with? Flipping faces with girls who like you? ”
