4 Chapter IV

Li Cang is not a self-cooked, but Tao Jingran and Lin Jiajia are two complete nagging players.

No matter who is sitting across from them, as long as they are peers, they can talk eloquently and say everything.

On the way to the private restaurant, several people sat in the Tao family's business car.

In the interior space of two seats in the front and rear, Li Cang and Lin Jiajia sat at the back, and Tao Jingran and Shao Qingyan sat in the front row.

"By the way, Xueba, let me introduce you, these two are my former classmates, and they are also my good friends from childhood to adulthood, both of them are studying at Siming International, and they will have dinner with us at noon today."

In case Shao Qing was uncomfortable at the banquet, Tao Jingran introduced Lin Jiajia and Li Cang to him first.

Lin Jiajia smiled and told him his name, and Li Cang also mentioned it.

Because her seat was directly behind Shao Qingyan, she couldn't see what Shao Qingyan's expression was when he answered, she only knew that his voice sounded a little colder and clearer than the one on the phone.

"Shao Qingfang."

He said.

Tao Jingran smiled and continued: "They have already seen your name on the school's honor wall, and they stood with you for a long time last time." ”

"Yes, Xueba, I have admired the name for a long time."

Lin Jiajia picked up Tao Jingran's chair and smiled innocently and lively.

Li Cang didn't answer their words, let the few of them continue to talk, and he nested in the chair and silently put on a Bluetooth headset.

The location of the private dish is not far from the experimental middle school, on the Wutong Avenue on Hengshan Road, which is two streets away.

When Li Cang got out of the car, he exhaled a mouthful of thick white heat in front of his eyes.

"Cang, what do you think of him?"

Lin Jiajia chatted with people in the car all the way, but when she got out of the car, she grabbed Li Can's arm, looking a little tangled.

Li Cang instantly understood what she meant, and deliberately walked very slowly with her, falling behind the two boys.

Lin Jiajia whispered to her the truth: "I think he is a little boring, and he doesn't like to talk to people." ”

The Lin family is engaged in a large-scale amusement park business, when Lin Jiajia was young, the family's amusement parks have been opened all over the country, and there is a lot of publicity and huge passenger flow in various cities, so this has led to Lin Jiajia from childhood to adulthood, and the people around her almost all greet her with a smile.

"I really haven't seen such a boring person, just now, if Tao Jingran hadn't been looking for a topic to talk about, I feel like I have nothing to say to him."

Li Cang asked her in surprise: "Then what are you going to do?" Just let people go? ”

Lin Jiajia thought for a while: "Give him one last chance, and see if he can be a gentleman and funny to me when he eats later." ”

In that way, she could barely forgive him for the boredom in the car just now, and then take the initiative to chase after others.

Li Cang smiled and said nothing, not having a big opinion on her thoughts.

Although the restaurant private room booked by Tao Jingran is located on Wutong Road, where the entire street is full of French style, it is very poetic and picturesque Chinese style inside.

The dining table in the private room is a classic Chinese-style large round table, and after a few people are seated, a waiter will bring hot towels for them to warm their hands.

Li Cang sat near the window, too lazy to listen to them continue to talk about some of the things that were not there, so he simply turned back to look at the snow scene behind him.

This is the first snow to fall in Cloud City after New Year's Day in 2018.

The snow in the private room is in a great position, and when you look down from above, you can see a whole piece of French plane trees that have withered, and when the snow falls on it, there is no response, and it quickly falls to the ground at a speed of more than five centimeters, or melts, or piles up on the patterned floor tiles that have just been renovated a few months ago.

She looked through the sparse gray branches by the window, and saw the traffic on the road, and the crowd of people strolling on both sides of the road, many of whom were dancing and partying because of the expected heavy snowfall......

“…… I heard that the number of people sent to Qingbei by the High School Affiliated to the National Normal University this year is as large as the experiment, is it true? ”

Li Cang is not like Lin Jiajia, he does not have the habit of carrying a camera with him, so he turned around after taking a few snow scenes, and Lin Jiajia happened to be speaking on the table.

When she said this, she obviously wanted to wait for Shao Qingyan to answer, so Li Cang did not say anything very tacitly.

However, Tao Jingran was too eyeless to see, so he directly took over her topic halfway and said, "It seems to be ...... When did you become concerned about these things? ”

“……”

Lin Jiajia choked, can't she say that she was the classmate who asked on her mobile phone just now?

She blinked and pretended to be calm: "Is it strange that I care about this?" Emily recently bragged about her boyfriend every day, saying that he was the best student in the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and that he was a provincial three-merit student and a scholarship every day, so I was curious to search for it. ”

"Uh-oh." Tao Jingran nodded, as if he still believed this statement.

"That's right, Emily doesn't seem to have a relationship with the high school attached to the division university recently, and it seems to be the one she has talked about for the longest time."

It's good that he doesn't talk about this topic, as soon as he talks about this topic, Lin Jiajia is interested, and he is soon led by the nose.

"That's right! Her boyfriend, I remember the surname Shen, I forgot what the specific name was. ”

"I remember, I remember, Shen Tianhao! The experimental class of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Shen Tianhao! Tao Jingran, you can even remember this clearly? ”

In a few words, they had already talked about Emily's boyfriend from the high school attached to the Normal University.

The gossip attribute in Lin Jiajia's words seems to be about to be unable to hide, and the excitement in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows can be seen.

Li Cang still remembered what she told herself in the bubble tea shop before, and in desperation, she stretched out her leg and kicked her under the table.

Lin Jiajia received the prompt, but turned her head to look at her blankly.

“……”

Li Cang stared at her quietly.

Three seconds later, Lin Jiajia finally came to her senses and terminated the chat with Tao Jingran like a wild horse on the spot.

But now there are only a few cold dishes on the table, and the hot dishes have not yet been served, so if you don't chat with Tao Jingran, it seems that there is nothing to do.

Lin Jiajia thought about it and took out a mini camera from her backpack, which was a retro CCD that had recently suddenly become popular back to ten years ago.

She shook her camera and said, "I'm used to taking pictures everywhere I go, although we met on the first day today, let's take a photo as a souvenir, right?" ”

Although she said something with private goods, it didn't sound fake, and it was very in line with her usual style of carrying a camera wherever she went.

Tao Jingran also thinks this proposal is good.

So everyone looked at the only guest today - Shao Qingyan.

Shao Qingyan paused: "I can do it." ”

So, Lin Jiajia happily arranged for everyone to get up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the private room.

Because she had to hold up the camera, she stood at the front of the lens alone. Li Cang was naturally standing by her side.

Tao Jingran pulled Shao Qingyan and stood behind the two girls, no matter whether others smiled brightly or not, anyway, as long as he took pictures, he always smiled extraordinarily heartlessly.

Lin Jiajia held the camera and took several photos in a row, and after everyone had seen it, the hot dishes were almost served on the table.

The camera was finally held in Li Cang's hand.

Perhaps because the pixels of the CCD are a little too old, Li Cang has some overexposed white in these photos.

Her complexion is already a cold white skin that is not in the same dimension as ordinary people, and she is often ridiculed for secretly smearing her body without makeup cream when taking pictures, and now in these photos, it is too prominent.

She studied the photographs, slowly scanning her gaze over the faces of each of them.

Lin Jiajia is a girl, and the contrast with her is naturally the smallest; Tao Jingran likes to play all year round, and his face is healthy wheat; As for Shao Qingyan, who she didn't know the most......

He's pretty white too.

Li Cang was a bit surprised by this result.

And he was standing behind her, not far away, after removing the black down jacket, the inner layer was a brown sweater, a handsome face, tall and thin, but very photogenic.

Because of him, she flipped through the photos she had just pressed over again.

It's all just right.

Li Cang didn't know for a while whether it was because Quarin Jiajia's skills were too good, or if this person's face was too photogenic.

Suddenly, she remembered the two-inch photo she saw hanging on the school's honor wall.

His appearance seems to be an established and indisputable fact.

She silently handed the camera back to Lin Jiajia and didn't say anything.

It's normal for a few people to eat and chat.

During the banquet, Lin Jiajia took the excuse of sending photos, and asked for Shao Qingyan's WeChat again.

At first, she was still alive, but gradually, the more she ate the meal, the more obvious Li Cang could feel that she was becoming more and more distracted.

After the meal, they finally had to part ways with Shao Qingyan.

Lin Jiajia and Li Cang stood under the plane tree, watching Tao Jingran and people say goodbye not far away.

Lin Jiajia put her head on Li Cang's shoulder, like a depressed little hamster: "Cangcan, this is really not good, if the top students are like this, then I actually admire Emily a little." ”

Li Cang asked, "What do you admire her?" ”

"I admire that she can endure the stuffy gourd!"

After this whole meal, Lin Jiajia's enthusiasm can be regarded as completely worn out.

She never thought that a student with such good grades and such an explosive appearance would be so taciturn when chatting with people.

If it weren't for Tao Jingran at the dinner table who had been enlivening the atmosphere, she estimated that she would not have said more than ten words after this meal.

Li Cang smiled, for this result, it was completely expected.

Lin Jiajia was still lying on her shoulder and sighed: "In short, he is not suitable for me, it seems that I still have to find another way." ”

Li Cang comforted her: "Don't look for any other way, it's about to be the New Year, don't you want to go to Australia to play?" When the offer comes out, we will go directly to Australia, and when we come back, we will go to Hong Kong together, and I heard that this year's fireworks designer in Victoria Harbour is Uncle Kang, looking forward to it? ”

"It's actually Uncle Kang?"

When Lin Jiajia heard this, she immediately cheered up.

"Okay, when you say that, I also remember, I haven't seen the fireworks in Victoria Harbour for a long time, the last time I went was three years ago, I have to discuss with my parents when I go home tonight, go to Australia first, and go to Victoria Harbour to watch fireworks after the New Year!"

Because Lai's mother is from Hong Kong, and her grandfather's family lives in Hong Kong all year round, she spends half of her time in Hong Kong and half of her time in Cloud City and other parts of the world during the Chinese New Year.

When Tao Jingran came back, the two of them were chatting with great interest about a trip for a while.

"Back to Hong Kong? Add me one. He walked in with a cross kick and said.

"Go, go, girlfriend travel, what are you doing to make a scene?"

"Why aren't male girlfriends considered girlfriends?"

"Don't be ashamed!"

Tao Jingran was fiercely rejected by Lin Jiajia outside the door.

She and Li Cang each put their hands in their coat pockets, and stood under the snowy plane tree for several minutes before they began to think about going home.

"Home? Don't, such a nice snow scene, don't you want to take pictures? Tao Jingran immediately stopped.

Li Cang also remembered the task of going out today, and echoed him: "Yes, you haven't taken a snow photo of Tao Jingran yet, right?" Why don't you try it today? ”

“……”

Lin Jiajia glanced at Tao Jingran, hugged her bag with the camera with one hand, pulled Li Cang with the other, and deliberately conspired loudly with her: "If you want to take a photo yourself, just say it, quickly call the surname Tao to pull it down!" ”

Tao Jingran: "............"

Although having said that, in the end, he still received a set of beautiful photos taken for him by Lin Jiajia in the snow.

The surprise party prepared for Lin Jiajia in the evening also went very smoothly as they expected.

When I got home in the evening, it was already late. As soon as Li Cang came out of the bathroom, he received a bunch of photos from the excited star Lin Jiajia in the group.

There are hers, Tao Jingran, He Minglang, Cen Ling, and many photos they took together to celebrate her birthday tonight......

The last few photos were taken in the private vegetable room on Hengshan Road at noon.

Li Cang looked at the young man standing behind her lightly, no matter what, she never imagined that one day many years later, she would still turn this photo out in her mobile phone again and again, appreciate it, and cherish it.

It was January 12, 2018.

The first photo of her and Shao Qingyan.

Not very intimate.
