Zhao Mingding thanked Liu Zihou for his kindness, looked back and took Zhang Bao's hand, and said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't seen you for ten years, you are willing to take the risk of paying for me today, I am really moved by my brother, the so-called beauty is a hero, and there is nothing to repay for my brother, this girl will give it to you, please smile!" As he spoke, he put the girl's slender hand on Zhang Bao's hand, then cleared his throat and looked at everyone, "Today, Zihou has a treat, everyone is free to have fun!" ”

Everyone cheered, and was about to disperse to find their own happiness, when a crisp voice came from the door: "Please wait a moment! Looking back, I saw a tall and tall girl about eighteen years old, beautiful and dressed like a flower, coming from the door, stopped in front of Zhao Mingding, and asked very politely, "May I ask if you are Mr. Zhao Mingding?" ”

"It's down there, I don't know what the girl has to say?" Zhao Mingding replied.

"Don't dare!" The girl replied, "I was asked to pass on a thing to my husband, and he was asked to laugh at it." As he spoke, he handed Zhao Mingding a room card and a cashier slip and invoice with both hands, and said, "This is the room card for one of the three presidential suites in Juxian Building. In addition, the private fee for tonight's Xiaoyao Palace has also been settled for you, please enjoy your husband and your friends. Have fun with you and all of you! After that, he bent down and bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Mingding.

"Please wait!" Zhao Mingding said, "I don't know which friend asked you to give me this room card and pay for me?" ”

"I don't know, Mr. Zhao." The girl said helplessly, "I have just passed by here, and I have been entrusted by a gentleman to give you these and help him with a message. Before I could see his face, he left. ”

"In that case, then it would be a shame." Zhao Mingding owes himself and says, "Thank you, girl!" Tonight is a private venue, and the girl is invited to play freely. ”

"I'm in trouble, I'm out of company. Thank you for your kindness! After the girl finished speaking, she bowed and left.

Everyone looked at each other.

"It's really a real person who doesn't show his face!" Liu Zihou walked over, patted Zhao Mingding's shoulder, and said to everyone, "Zhao Mingding has already paid for tonight's expenses, let's let it go!" ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, greet each other gossipily, and then gang up and go in groups to find their own fun.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone, and the squad leader left because the superior came to entertain him, and in the end, only Li Ruyu, who was teary-eyed and full of grievances, and Zhang Bao, who had unkempt hair and a scruffy beard, looked haggard and uncared for, as well as the girl in the draft and Zhao Mingding.

"Why don't we go have a drink?" Zhao Mingding looked at Li Ruyu and asked inquiringly, and when he saw Li Ruyu nodded, he greeted Zhang Bao and walked towards the bar on the second floor.

"I'm not going to use a light bulb!" Zhang Bao smiled, "Don't you have a room card to spend free of charge?" Settle the money for tonight's meal for me. I won't look for you tonight, tomorrow you come to my house and look for me, I'll wait for you. Don't forget to bring some food and drinks. After speaking, he patted Zhao Mingding's shoulder and took the girl's hand and left.

Zhao Mingding led Li Ruyu to the bar on the second floor and found a remote corner to sit down. Tonight, everyone went to KTV to play, there was a huge bar, only Zhao Mingding and Li Ruyu, the lights were shining, the sound of the piano was resentful, and it was like crying and complaining, which made people even more melancholy.

"How have you been doing all these years?" Zhao Mingding took the wine glass from the waiter's hand and personally drank a glass of 82-year-old Lafite for Li Ruyu. Since he didn't have to pay for it himself, and he also paid the charter fee, Zhao Mingding tried to order a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, but he didn't expect that there was also a restaurant in this small Taihe county.

What kind of state is it to be the poorest man, wear the oldest clothes, drink the most expensive red wine, and coax the most beautiful woman?

"Not good!" Li Ruyu took a sip of wine lightly, frowned, and asked with a chuckle, "After all these years, have you missed me?" ”

"Is there a difference between wanting and not wanting to?" Zhao Mingding said with a smile.

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud." Li Ruyu's eyes flowed, looking forward to the brilliance, her lips opened lightly, and her exhalation was like an orchid. When Zhao Mingding heard this, his hand shook, and the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.

"So, I still have a chance?" Zhao Mingding found that his voice was a little trembling.

"You're thinking too much!" Li Ruyu smiled slightly, "You are pure wishful thinking and unrequited love." I am willing to sit here and drink with you today, just to hope that you can sober up, let you die that heart, stop having any illusions, see that there is a suitable girl, and get married as soon as possible. ”

"You...... You lied to me? Zhao Mingding didn't seem to believe his ears, "You...... If you are ruthless, why ...... Why did I recite the poem in front of the class? ”

"What girl in the world doesn't like to listen to other people's words of admiration? You, Bai has been out for so many years, and you still seem to be a hairy young man who doesn't understand the world. Li Ruyu took a new cup, drank a new glass of wine for Zhao Mingding, and said with a smile, "After this glass of wine, we will never see each other again from now on!" ”

"I ...... I don't! Zhao Mingding felt that he had a hard time speaking, "If you are well, then you are ...... It's a sunny day! ”

"It's impossible for us, understand?" Li Ruyu asked softly, "Do you know me?" ”

Yes, do I know Li Ruyu? Zhao Mingding asked himself. All I knew was that she was a beautiful girl, and I didn't know anything about her family background. She didn't even know where her family lived.

"I'll tell you." Li Ruyu said softly, "I was born in a military family, including my grandfather's family. My father was the top leader of the garrison at Sandu Airport at that time, and my mother was a military doctor in the army, so in order to take better care of me, my mother always took me with me, which is why you met me. My parents knew that you had a crush on me and wrote me love poems in class, and they admired your literary talents, but you had to have a bright future, and love without bread was unreliable. But what have you achieved over the years? You still live at the bottom of society, with only a thousand dollars in your pocket. It's not that I look down on people living at the bottom of society, but I really can't live this kind of life. From our high school graduation to now, this year is the seventh year, and seven years have not allowed you to grow and succeed, how can you still grow, how can you succeed? The reason why I am sitting here with you today is because I also have a seven-year covenant with man: that is, if you do not succeed in seven years, I must forget about you and agree to his proposal. Can you understand how I'm feeling at the moment? ”

When Zhao Mingding heard this, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't imagine that the girl he had a crush on had waited for him silently for seven years, waiting for him to grow up, waiting for him to succeed, waiting for him to walk into her family with his head held high and pick her up in style, although he was just a commoner before. A love poem, in exchange for her seven years of silent waiting, is it a loss? I don't know.

From now on, where will I fall in love? Zhao Mingding's eyes were full of tears, and he was speechless for a while.

"I just said that this kid can't make the climate, now believe it, right?" A mocking voice came from the door of the bar, and I saw a slender and handsome young man walking slowly with a wine glass.

"Is that you?" As soon as Zhao Mingding saw the visitor, his anger surged, his eyes breathed fire, his fists clenched, and he couldn't wait to smash his handsome face into a pig's head.

The person who came was the boy who smeared himself for cheating in the last exam of the college entrance examination that year, thus depriving himself of the opportunity to go to college. Zhao Mingding has been looking for him, and he sincerely wants to meet here today.

"It's me!" The person who came smiled slightly and said, "Don't come to the lamb? ”

"Why did you defile me back then?" Zhao Mingding rattled his teeth with hatred.

"Just to get a fair chance to compete." The visitor smiled slightly, "You didn't go to college, and I didn't go to college." You go out to work, and I go out to work. By my own efforts, I am now worth hundreds of millions, but what about you? If Ruyu follows you, what kind of life can she live? Wouldn't you just say a few limericks to make the little girl happy? You're nothing, just eat soft rice, and you even have to be paid for tonight by someone else! Shameful? If I were you, I'd kill myself with a piece of tofu! After that, he took Li Ruyu's hand, walked away, and turned around when he went out, "Zhou Zijian, chairman of Ruyi Group." ”

Strings of tears slipped down Li Ruyu's face, like bullets, hitting Zhao Mingding's heart, and blood flowed.

In the past, I went back, and the willows followed; Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling.

Zhao Mingding didn't know how he left the bar and returned to the presidential suite. He dreamed all night, dreaming that he was famous and worth hundreds of billions, Li Ruyu accepted his marriage proposal, and took his own private jet to Sri Lanka for his honeymoon, just as they were swimming in the sea, suddenly a big shark came out and bit Li Ruyu......

At noon the next day, Zhao Mingding got up groggily, didn't eat lunch, and went to Zhang Bao's house by taxi.

Zhang Bao's house is at the north gate of the county seat, and it is a dilapidated building with a brick structure. His parents have passed away, and he is waiting for Zhao Mingding at home at the moment.

"I haven't seen your ghost for so many years, where have you gone?" Walking to Zhang Bao to follow, Zhao Mingding slapped him on the chest and asked.

"I'm embarrassed to say that I've been looking for you for years!" Zhang Bao blocked Zhao Mingding's hand and punched back.

"What's the matter with me? It's not going to ask me to do something again, is it? Zhao Mingding said with a smile. When he was in school, Zhang Bao often asked Zhao Mingding to go to the village near the school to steal grapefruit and oranges from other people's trees.

"You guessed it right." Zhang Bao approached Zhao Mingding and lowered his voice, "There is a fortune, I have been waiting for you to get it together." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Mingding was stunned when he heard this.

"I've been looking for you for so many years, just for this." Zhang Baodao, "In this world, I only have you and He Caishan, two real brothers, we share blessings, hardships, and wealth together!" ”

Zhang Bao's words are not false at all. Since junior high school, the two of them have always been classmates, because Zhang Bao's family is poor, so every month Zhao Mingding has to carry more rice from home for his rations, he has no clothes to wear, Zhao Mingding takes out his clothes to wear together, and eats the vegetables together. In the second semester of the second semester of high school, Zhang Bao's family really couldn't afford his tuition, so Zhang Bao had to drop out of school to work, and lost contact with him.
