Chapter 62
Since the 24th Christmas Day is closed, the annual meeting is held on the 23rd, or New Year's Eve. On this day, Xiao Ye received a message from Chu Li. "Said that there are extra seats in the company's annual meeting, do you want to come and take a look?"
Xiao Ye looked at the class schedule, and there was no class after three o'clock in the afternoon. The sisters in the dormitory hurried to the teaching building with their books and books, and Xiao Ye sat in front of the mirror for the first time, checking her hair repeatedly and crampedly. Then he turned out the clothes in the box, put them in, and repeated. In the end, he was still wearing a plain retro tube skirt with small flowers. When he was about to go out with a small bag, his mobile phone suddenly rang, looked at the caller ID on it, and smiled, "Brother Lei Zi?" Is there something wrong? “
"Ahh Are you downstairs? Xiao Ye pushed the door open, ran to the railing of the corridor, and stretched out his neck to look down. I'll get down right away. “
This is the fourth time Sun Lei has come to Xiaoye's school this month. Sun Lei was leaning against the door of a Santana and smoking. The hair that is carefully combed and sticks to the hairspray that is not evenly kneaded, looks abrupt. A new jacket on his body, a little small. A hand unnaturally pulled out of his pocket and thrust into his pants pocket. The soot fell on his shoes, and he shook his legs, and when he found that the shoes were stained with yellow dust, he frowned and shrunk his feet back.
When Xiao Ye came down from the corridor, Sun Lei hurriedly greeted him. "Xiaoye, it's beautiful today."
"Brother Lei Zi, just laugh at me!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
"You're not busy eliminating harm for the people, why are you coming to me?"
"I'm here to invite you to dinner." Sun Lei tilted his head, avoiding Xiao Ye's inexplicable, nervous gaze.
"You've invited me to eat three times this month."
"Is three times a lot?"
"I've never been invited to dinner so many times. I'm a real female monkey Is. ”
Sun Lei knew the meaning of "female monkey Yisi", and said with a smile, "It's okay, let's go?" ”
"Then simply eat, I still have something to do."
"What's the matter? Dating? ”
"No, Brother Chu Li has a party in the company today, and he asked me to go and see it."
"Oh, that's it......"
"Why don't we go together?"
"That's ......, that's ......"
"Aren't you good brothers?"
"Yes...... Be. ”
"I'll call Brother Chu and see if I can take you with me."
Before Sun Lei could react, Xiao Ye had already fed. "Brother Chu, can I bring Brother Lei Zi along?" The corners of Xiao Ye's mouth quickly filled with a smile, "Really, that's great!" ”
"Brother Lei Zi, Brother Chu said that it would be better for us to go together, and there is also food over there."
"It's okay, we'll go over after we've eaten outside."
"No! What a waste of you! Xiao Ye frowned and rebuked Sun Lei seriously.
Chu Li waved at the door of the gymnasium, and Sun Lei was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Chu Li was not surprised, he usually grabbed his shoulders and strode into the gymnasium. Xiao Ye hadn't seen Chu Li for almost two months, and he was dancing happily.
"Chu Li, let me tell you, Xiao Ye asked me to come."
"Anyway, I don't think you can come."
"You and Xiaoye ......"
"What's wrong with me and Xiaoye?"
"I heard her say, you have a girlfriend, I heard Dong Rui also talk about it."
"What the hell do you mean?" Chu Li smashed a punch on Sun Lei's shoulder. "Do you have anything to say?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”
Chu Li suddenly tilted his head and said, "If you like Xiao Ye, take advantage of it." Don't get carried away here. “
Sun Lei was very embarrassed, remembering the scene when he carried a gun into the bedroom, he felt a little guilty, and then he was a little more moved, looking at Chu Li, he felt a little shorter. Even if he himself was a little shorter than Chu Li. "Thank you, brother." After exiting, I found that there was some noise, but fortunately, the sound was not loud, and it was covered up in the hustle and bustle, and Chu Li didn't seem to hear it.
"Let's go, you can sit next to me when we eat and watch the show."
The crowd at the entrance began to gradually surge, and the three of them moved to the side to continue to greet each other. The light at the entrance was very bright, illuminating the dusk as if it were day, a very thin long-haired man was slightly rickety, passing by himself, his face was hiding from the light of the incandescent lamp, hidden in the dark, the security guard did not interrogate, just made eye contact, gave two glow sticks, and the man whispered: "Where do I sit?" ”
"Grandstand Area F." The security guard spoke, gesturing to a corner of the left stand.
"That's all you can do?" The man was visibly displeased. The sound is very special. Clear and cold.
At that moment, Chu Li was absolutely sure that this voice was too familiar. At the same time, he was still looking at Sun Lei and Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye smiled and said interesting things about the school, but Chu Li's ears were located on the two of them like radar.
"Don't be too conspicuous when you say it." The security guard's voice was obviously from Zhu Qiao.
"Alright." The man bowed his head and walked to the stands.
Xia Hongfei!! Chu Li was shocked to find that this voice was not only the tall and handsome guy on the basketball court more than a year ago, but also the one who was peddling drugs in the warm harbor of Zhongtang and said, "Skating? ". In the warm harbor, the nerves may be too tense to distinguish it.
"Xiaoye Leizi, I'll take you to your seat."
"What did you just find?" Sun Lei asked suddenly.
Chu Li was surprised by Sun Lei's professional acumen, and at the same time lowered his voice and said, "Wait a minute. ”
Chu Li's table was relatively close to the stands, and he chose a direction where he could directly look at the F area.
"Brother Chu, if you sit like this, you can't even see the performance!" Xiao Ye kindly reminded.
"It's okay, I'll turn around later."
"Chu Li, you take me to find the bathroom." Sun Lei gave a signal with his eyes.
Chu Li stood up, Sun Lei immediately followed, and after leaving the table a little, Sun Lei asked, "What did you see?" “
"Do you remember what happened to Warm Harbor?"
"Nonsense!"
"I was waiting for you that day when someone came up and asked me if I wanted to skate. I just saw that man. “
"Oh, do you want me to check him out?"
"Don't, I found out I know that man."
"What do you mean? How do you know someone who sells drugs? Then why didn't you say it last time? “
"I couldn't see my face clearly that time, and I didn't react at that time. Confirmed today. He used to be in this company and later left. The security guard who let him in should have known him, too. “
"Is this all your speculation?"
"Leizi, I'm not joking about this kind of thing."
"If he brings enough, he can be judged. Why don't you let me look it up? “
"You're single-handedly today, and what if he's clean? Isn't that just a scare for the snake? “
"Hmm," Sun Lei nodded, "You give me his details when you go back." Where does he sit? ”
"Seven o'clock, the top floor."
Sun Lei didn't turn his head to check, but nodded.
"I'll borrow a telescope later." Chu Li muttered.
It was quickly filled, and it got dark quickly. Chu Li's table sat Xiaohong one after another, with Chen Xi and others. Seeing Sun Lei and Xiao Ye next to Chu Li, Xiaohong's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't say much understandingly, just nodded politely. Xiao Ye was very friendly and introduced himself one by one. When Chunlai came, when he saw Xiao Ye, he immediately greeted him in a friendly manner, but when he saw Sun Lei, he felt relatively unfamiliar. Sun Lei got up and smoked, Chunlai, who had never smoked, actually took it, but he didn't expect Sun Lei to take out the lighter immediately, so he had to pretend to be proficient in holding the cigarette and get up. I took a sip, not wanting to choke on tears. Sun Lei said: "I am Chu Li's classmate. Thank you for your attention. ”
Just when everyone was speculating about which college this person was Chu Li's classmate, the time had reached six o'clock, and the official performance began, and the male host's English was very good, with some British pronunciation. It was very appropriate to introduce the leaders who participated in the annual meeting, and then switch to Chinese The result was obviously very difficult. But wearing a white suit is very elegant, and I can't see my facial features clearly from a distance, but I can see that the man looks thoughtful. The female host is wearing a purple skirt, her hair is tied in a very exaggerated bun, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it, Mandarin is very standard, almost in stark contrast to the male host, probably due to nervousness, the speed of speech is fast, but fortunately, the voice is transparent. Chu Li glanced symbolically at the stage, then twisted his head to Area F, and under the crowd, he was precisely positioned on Xia Hongfei's thin, dark figure. Xia Hongfei looked left and right from time to time, and sometimes stopped to chat with the people next to him.
The singing and dancing programs are all very professionally choreographed, some wearing cheongsam, with a plush scarf, a noble lady dancing tango, and some wearing a few famous ethnic costumes, dancing the grassland dance in a uniform manner, and boldly wearing a grass skirt that exposes the navel, dancing the very popular World Cup wakawaka. Everyone even slowed down to eat, and was infected by the wonderful show, and people kept screaming and shouting.
Xiaohong excitedly guessed with their shouts, "This is the program of the assembly workshop, and I just shouted so loudly." ”
Chen Xi took a bite of the peanuts in the cold dish and nodded. "There are so many beauties in your husband's workshop, are you worried?"
"He kind of dumped me!" Xiaohong held her head high and said disdainfully.
”waka,waka! Oh~oh," Harulai shouted unwillingly.
"Spring comes, so many beautiful women, without binoculars, I can't see clearly." Chu Li smiled and said, "Can you get it?" ”
Gong Qing smiled and said, "The boss has also moved his heart!" ”
"Is this hard for me?" Chunlai stood up and patted his chest, "I'll go to the audience to borrow it right away." “
"Where are you going to borrow it?"
"Our workshop is in the E2 area." Harrai turned around and reached out and pointed at an area diagonally below Area F.
"I'll go with you."
"Boss, you eat, I'll come when I go. Don't be in a hurry! “
Xiao Ye snorted and laughed. Chen Xi sneered and choked Chunlai, "Are you in a hurry?" The boss is not like that kind of person. ”
"It's fine." Chu Li stood up, "Let's go, Chunlai." ”
Chu Li followed behind Chunlai, although the lights in the venue were bright, fortunately, the stage was too bright, and the audience was relatively gray. The stands are very spacious, and there is an aisle in the division of the spectator seats, so it is easy to get to the E2 area, and Haruzi thinks that he has reached an agreement with the girls and borrows two binoculars. Chu Li's eyes never left Area F.
It was Xia Hongfei, and the lights in the stands illuminated his face very clearly. He looked very haggard and his eyes were sunken. At the moment, he is staring at the stage closely. A girl next to him was already snuggling up to him. His eyes were confused, as if he didn't look at the stage, but looked around casually.
After returning to his seat, Chu Li pretended to look at the stands with a telescope and said that the host was so beautiful. Then raise the binoculars and look for Xia Hongfei.
"This is Fan Wenjing, boss."
"Oh, really?" Chu Li pretended to sweep the telescope back to the stage, "Oh, it really is. It's just different when you change your clothes. “
Chu Li turned around again and saw that Xia Hongfei's seat was empty, and the girl in the seat next to him was also gone. Chu Li was a little surprised, and elbowed Sun Lei, Sun Lei took the binoculars, glanced at the stage, and then swept to Area F, and after confirmation, he said to Chu Li, "I'll go to the toilet near there and have a look." ”
"I'm with you."
"No" Sun Lei stopped Chu Li and said, "You know him, in case you meet him, it will be embarrassing." And both of us went, and Xiao Ye had no one to take care of. ”
Chu Li said yes.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yang Hua's singing was very good. The voice is very low, and the singing is not difficult, and there is a kind of comfort that is eloquent.
"The King of Karaoke!" Chunlai slapped his thigh.
"It's so good to sing, I can't see it." Xiao Gao, who had not spoken, said excitedly and patted Zhao Xu's shoulder with his hand. The latter said proudly, "Xiang Gong still has two brushes." ”
"It's okay!" Xiaohong snorted and laughed. "But he's really good for the song."
Huang Jing's voice was a little shaky, but fortunately, the treble could go up, and he had confidence in the second half, and the more he sang, the better. The two cooperate tacitly, except for the height, they are a little anxious for Yang Hua. Chu Li glanced at Xiao Ye, she had a straw in her mouth and a box of drinks in her hand. Facing the light of the stage, I could see that her eyes were shining. should have recognized Huang Jing as well, and he was a little stupid when he heard it.
When Sun Lei came back, Chu Li had already seen Xia Hongfei and the girl in the telescope had returned to their seats.
"Isn't this the brave buddy?" Sun Lei smiled, "You really have a good voice." ”
"What's the situation?"
"The girl was supposed to be unwell and vomiting in the bathroom. The kid was on guard at the bathroom door. “
"It's strange, when you enter the venue, he's alone."
"So I suspect he did something to that girl."
"If you vomit, will it be?"
Sun Lei patted his pocket. "After they left, I went to the girls' toilet and extracted a little vomit. I'll go back and show the bugs later. ”
Chu Li sincerely admired Sun Lei's carefulness and sensitivity. He nodded and said, "You can eat while the food is hot." ”
Sun Lei sandwiched a piece of white chopped chicken, and snorted and removed the meat from the chicken bones. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." ”
"What do you think he's doing here today?"
"Selling? Get? Or will they be friends? ”
Chu Li scratched his head and looked at a pair of writhing elves on the stage. The man was very lean and stiff in his movements. And the girl is very soft. A pair of hands like jade but smart and tactful, skirt like flying, body as light as a swallow and waist like a dragon snake, with the rhythm of the music, the body dance gradually accelerated, ethereal, hazy, the dry ice released on the stage, let her be like a flower in the fog, beautiful as a stunner. The audience applauded, and Xiao Ye said excitedly: "It's quiet!" Wow, it's beautiful. ”
Chu Li immediately picked up the binoculars and focused on chasing the black swan-like figure, and sure enough, Chen Jing, who had her hair in a high bun, her eyes were like smoke, shining smartly. Suddenly, like a spark flashing in his mind, he moved the telescope and locked on Xia Hongfei, even if he was so far away, he could still feel the torch-like gaze, staring at the stage motionless.
Chu Wei thought, "He's here for her?" ”
Ten girls holding folding fans, wearing ancient costumes similar to Hanfu, danced a very mournful dance on the stage, although it was a little out of place, but the dance rehearsal was very attentive, the dance steps were very beautiful and freehand, which won the cheers of many people, and the F area even stood up and applauded.
"Next, there's a show I'm really looking forward to!"
"Wow~ What kind of show makes Johnson pay so much attention?"
"I studied abroad since I was a child, and there is a language that I have always wanted to learn, but I was afraid of. It is said to be the most beautiful language of mankind? ”
"Then I'll guess! When we were young, there was a text called "The Last Lesson", and the teacher in the article said that French is the most beautiful language. Am I guessing right? ”
"You're so smart, let's enjoy Je m'appelle Helene, brought by Chen Si"
Although everyone didn't understand a word of the song's title, they did know that it was a French song.
Chu Li didn't need a telescope, and he could clearly see Chen Si walking up slowly, but he still raised the telescope, Chen Si wore a red shirt, a pair of white ultra-wide leg pants, and a pair of high heels for the first time. The hair is made into a classical curly style like Teresa Teng. The lips are very red, and you can vaguely see the highlights on the lips, and the straight waist and raised face look confident and generous. The music gradually sounded, and almost at the same time, Chen Si opened his mouth and chanted softly along with the music. Low and clear, but very penetrating, more like a pour out than a sing, the French pronunciation has some labial notes that look playful and cute. The volume of the background music is a bit low, Chen Si is like a cappella, the melody is beautiful, different from other pop songs, this song sounds pure, original, without embellishment, although the young singing voice, it sounds extremely natural and comfortable.
Many years later, Chu Li still remembers the song, the melody, and the person who sang. can always accurately capture this song on the airwaves, in the background music of shopping malls, in a friend's car, and on the streets of a foreign city, but he never dares to take the initiative to search and understand it, but silently looks forward to encounters again and again, even if the casual encounter takes a year and a half, fortunately, fate always favors him, and he has heard it several times after that. And every time I hear it, I always have insomnia for a while.
Until Chen Si walked off the stage amid applause, Chu Li was still holding a telescope. When he lowered his binoculars, the whole table was staring at him. The atmosphere froze.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaohong said with a smile: "So far today, you have finished watching this show in its entirety." ”
Chu Li avoided her gaze and turned his head, but met Xiao Ye's gaze. Xiao Ye looked at Chu Li motionlessly, his eyes were out of focus, a little empty, and a little unable to look to the end. When he reflexively picked up the telescope and searched for Area F, Xia Hongfei had already gone to the empty building.
Sun Lei didn't know whose telescope he was holding in his hand, and whispered to Chu Li, "Before this show started, I was already gone." ”
"Can you find out where he is?"
"It's hard to say."
Chu Li seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Chunlai: "The folding fan dance just now was the program of that group?" ”
"I really don't know, boss, don't you have a fancy for a French girl?"
Everyone laughed.
"What a broken mouth!"
"It's from the packaging workshop." Gong Qing took a sip of Coke, "The one in front of the row is the beauty of their workshop, my fellow countryman." When talking about my fellow countryman, he seemed to be very proud, paused for a moment, and emphasized: "If anyone wants to know, I can introduce me." ”
"It's pretty, but no. Aren't you still single? ”
"That's it, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders!" Harurai grinned wide.
"You test first, if it's really a drug, you can ask the packaging workshop they said to have a look."
"Okay, Brother Li, you still work with peace of mind. I'll follow up. Sun Lei looked at Chu Li and said.
Chu Li nodded.
That night, Chu Li sent Xiao Ye and Sun Lei away, and wandered in the corridor of the actors' lounge for a long time, but he didn't see Chen Si. I mustered up the courage to call the phone, only to be told that it was turned off. When Chen Jing got on the bus with red eyes, he was followed by Lu Chengwu in the wafer workshop. Chu Li realized that Chen Jing's partner when she danced was him.
Chen Jing, who returned to the lounge, was still in a state of excitement, while Lu Chengwu entered the room with his back foot. You could see that the nervous excitement still permeated his chest. Chen Jing glanced at him sideways, stuck out her tongue and smiled, took off the hair band that fixed the bun, and instantly draped her long hair down to cover the side of her face. Lu Chengwu approached Chen Jing in a few steps, hugged her waist from behind, put his mouth close to Chen Jing's ear, and breathed rapidly. Chen Jing turned her head and kissed him on the lips. Lu Cheng Wuto put out a hand to grab Chen Jing's shoulder, but Chen Jing took the opportunity to escape and scolded: "Pervert!" ”
Lu Chengwu's blood was boiling, and he rushed up to kiss again. Chen Jing dodged backwards, shouting in her mouth: "The woman in the mountain gorge, the ruffian in Shanghai." “
Three steps and two steps, Lu Chengwu forced Chen Jing into a corner, Chen Jing suddenly turned his face away, and his eyes turned red.
Lu Chengwu froze in place and whispered, "I'm sorry!" “
Two tears fell, and Chen Jing looked up and said, "I'm a little scared." “
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid you'll suddenly disappear."
"Why did you suddenly disappear? What do you mean? Although Lu Chengwu already knew her worries in his heart, he still asked knowingly.
"I'll be very sad if you suddenly disappear one day."
Lu Chengwu hesitated.
Chen Jing noticed his hesitation, but became even more sad.
