Cheng Mo glanced at the time, there were still more than three hours before half past five that Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo had made, this time was more embarrassing, and when he went back to rest, Cheng Mo felt that the time was a little insufficient, he was used to wearing pajamas at home, and he felt a little troublesome when he changed and sorted out his hairstyle, Cheng Mo hesitated, held down the speakerphone button and said to the radio on the phone: "Go to the IFC." ”
Immediately, Jiang Jun's calm and serious voice came from the speaker: "Yes." ”
Cheng Mo knew that he was both the object of Jiang Jun's protection and his surveillance, so although the two often got along day and night, they were not close at all. He actually doesn't like this state of being monitored and being watched by people in every move, but he is helpless. Although it was Xie Minyun's idea to let Jiang Jun protect him, it must have been the top of Taiji Dragon who finally decided to send Jiang Jun.
Rolls-Royce crossed the Xiangjiang River Bridge in the rolling traffic, heading towards the towering glass buildings under the hazy sky, the dense flow of people on Wuyi Avenue, passing by the new Kanghui travel agency where Cheng Mo signed up for the European Art Tour Summer Camp, Cheng Mo couldn't help but look over, the green tree tied with red silk by the transparent glass door was high, and it looked a little lonely.
He felt that his gaze could pass through this barrier and arrive at the distant ruins where Xie Minyun was now, he wondered why he had such a feeling, even though the two had not seen each other for a long time, and they had not even been in touch, but they did not feel more and more estranged, but an indescribable longing rose in his heart.
It's like the homesickness of a wanderer in a foreign country.
Cheng Mo seemed to see his home in a trance, in the surging waves, in the lush forest, in the old building that belonged to him... ,,,, he looked in that direction for a long time and did not move his gaze, until the door of the new Kanghui travel agency completely disappeared from view.
Jiang Jun drove the car down the basement of the IFC, stopped at the No. 12 elevator entrance, and then quickly got out of the car and opened the door.
Cheng Mo was used to such a procedure, and after getting off the car, he walked straight into the bright elevator and pressed the up button.
Jiang Jun went to park, and Cheng Mo didn't need to pay attention to how Jiang Jun arranged it, in short, Jiang Jun would definitely be in his neighborhood. So he went upstairs alone and went to the Sisyphean bookstore on the third floor, for Cheng Mo, there is no more boring time than going to the bookstore to pass the time.
I took another elevator to the third floor, and I found the bookstore with white luminous words hanging on the red door, and Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" was placed in the glass window next to the door, Cheng Mo remembered that when he came over last month, the window was Selin's "The Catcher in the Rye", and the two window recommendations were classic books that were more literary and artistic, and it seemed that this bookstore called Sisyphus disdained to put those bloody popular bestsellers, and from this point of view, Cheng Mo felt that this bookstore was still a little tasteful.
Walking into the bookstore, Cheng Mo went directly to the book area, there are pumpkin-colored paper lamps hanging inside the bookstore, the light is not dazzling at all, just the right brightness, dim and warm, the long table without consumption is already full of people, but not everyone is reading, some people are playing with mobile phones, and some people are sleeping.
Cheng Mo walked around the book area, grabbed a copy of "We" by Russian writer Eugene Zamyagin, walked to the vector café that cost money, found a window booth and sat down.
The red and black café resounds with Lisa's "Fly Me to the Moon", the lazy female voice is like the steamy frothy milk floating on the coffee, and the low guitar strings and sobbing saxophone are like the espresso at the bottom.
Cheng Mo raised his evaluation of this bookstore again, thinking that this soft music is very suitable, not as noisy as pop music and not as serious as classical music, just suitable for ordering a cup of coffee and flipping through a paper book, if this is a villa by the sea, the sun is obliquely shining, the sea breeze is gentle, and sitting opposite is Xie Minyun in a white lace dress, or Teacher Shen in a plain bohemian dress, or Bai Xiuxiu in a silk pajamas.....
That's really perfect.
Of course, there is a more perfect one, that is, the three of them are sitting opposite, but Cheng Mo doesn't dare to think about it.
Cheng Mo couldn't help but shake his head, throwing these beautiful fantasies out of his mind, he didn't know when his ideal changed from being a librarian to a librarian with a happy life, maybe people's hearts are like this, they will never be satisfied.
Waiting for the waiter to come, Cheng Mo ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of lemonade, lemonade is for drinking, coffee is for smelling, anyway, the money is so much that it must be spent within two months, Cheng Mo is used to using money to meet all the sensory needs as long as he can think of it.
The aroma of coffee wafts in the light, soothing music flows slowly in the café, and Eugene Zamya's blonde thought-provoking words are like sharp knives and guns, piercing the hypocrisy of this world.
When Cheng Mo was immersed in it, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with some surprise: "Cheng ..... Silence?"
Cheng Mo turned his head and saw the ponytail Tu Huiqin and Bobo Feng Leiting who participated in the summer camp together during the summer vacation, these two girls who were fashionably dressed and could score eighty-five points in appearance played more with Tang Wenjun and Cheng Haoyang in the summer camp, Tang Wenjun still had some ideas about the lively and lovely Bobo Feng Leiting, and Cheng Mo also said some things to them, but the communication was not much.
At this moment, the two of them are holding two books in one person, and they seem to be looking for a place to sit, Star City is not big, and it is not a miracle to meet in a popular place like the IFC.
Cheng Mo didn't expect these two girls to greet him, he was a little surprised, straightened his back, and said, "Uh", "Good afternoon." ”
Feng Leiting, who was more lively, said with a smile: "You don't remember who we are, do you?"
Cheng Mo said expressionlessly: "Remember, you are Feng Leiting, she is Tu Huiqin, and you are both ..... from Nanjun Middle School."
Botou Feng Leiting also knew that Cheng Mo was such a face that no one wanted to deal with, so she didn't mind, looked at a cup of coffee and a cup of lemonade in front of Cheng Mo and asked a little suspiciously, "Are you alone?"
Cheng Mo heard Feng Leiting ask this and knew that the two of them had the idea of sitting down, and wanted to say two people, but after glancing at the café, the seats were actually full, thinking that the other party was helpless, so he didn't lie, nodded and said, "Well, alone." ”
"Then the two of us will share a table with you. After speaking, Feng Leiting pulled the ponytail Tu Huiqin who was standing beside her with some excitement, pushed away the sofa chair, and sat opposite Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo didn't make a sound, lowered his head and continued to read, intending to distance himself from the two girls with a cold attitude, but Cheng Mo's desire to read a book quietly was easily destroyed.
After the two girls finished ordering their drinks, Feng Leiting opened the book and asked Cheng Mo, "Why didn't you go to class in the afternoon?"
Cheng Mo didn't raise his head, and said nonchalantly: "I'm suspended." ”
Cheng Mo knew why Feng Leiting and Tu Huiqin didn't have classes in the afternoon, and from some of the books they picked up on learning English, he could guess that the two of them must be learning English at an education agency near the IFC and preparing to study abroad.
"Eh, why are you suspending school?" Tu Huiqin, who looks good-looking, actually has a good impression of a student like Cheng Mo, and when she saw Cheng Mo say that she was out of school, she couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Mo was too lazy to explain, and said casually: "Physical reasons." ”
Tu Huiqin said with some regret: "I thought you were in English classes like us, ready to go abroad!"
Sure enough, it was the same as he thought, but Cheng Mo still didn't look up, let alone answer, just looked at the book in his hand and shook his head, once again revealing the meaning of not talking to me, but the two girls didn't plan to let him go.
Feng Leiting asked, "Hey, Cheng Mo, I heard that Xie Minyun has transferred to another school and is no longer in your Changya, is it true?"
Cheng Mo didn't expect that the news of Xie Minyun's transfer had spread to other schools, and he said "um", and said in his heart: Being beautiful is really God's favorite.
Tu Huiqin looked at Cheng Mo curiously with a pair of apricot eyes and asked, "Then you're not very sad?"
At this time, Cheng Mo finally couldn't maintain his coldness, raised his head and said a little inexplicably: "Why should I be sad?"
Tu Huiqin said as a matter of course: "Aren't you two a couple?"
Cheng Mo was a little surprised, he didn't realize that Xie Minyun had great influence among high school students in southern Hunan and even across the country, after all, Xie Minyun was not a star, it was really hard to imagine that he could get so much attention just after being on two variety shows that were very popular with high school students, but thinking of Xie Minyun's high appearance, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't figure out.
Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and was about to deny it, but was interrupted by Feng Leiting's words, in fact, the reason why Feng Leiting saw Cheng Mo take the initiative to say hello was to gossip about him and Xie Minyun. Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's strange expression, she immediately couldn't wait to say: "The scandal between you and Xie Minyun has been rumored in our school! Many people say that Xie Minyun contracted the entire Yuelu Mountain for you, and now the mountain is full of the names of the two of you..... My God, you don't know how sensational the matter between you and Xie Minyun is in our school..... It is said that it cost 200 million!"
Cheng Mo remembered that Xie Minyun had done this "sensational" deed, and it seemed that it was not so easy for him to tear off the label of "hundreds of millions of soft rice men", so he gave up the idea of denying it with an "oh" sound.
Seeing Cheng Mo's cold attitude, Feng Leiting didn't care at all, and asked persistently: "Hey, Cheng Mo, don't be embarrassed to say it?"
Cheng Mo felt that this place really couldn't sit down, he didn't like others to gossip about his private life, moved the sofa chair, stood up, packed up the book, and said lightly: "You sit slowly, I'll go first....."
After speaking, without waiting for the two of them to speak, he turned around and left, leaving Feng Leiting and Tu Huiqin sitting in the booth looking at each other.
Feng Leiting looked at Cheng Mo's back, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I didn't ask any excessive questions, did I?
Tu Huiqin said thoughtfully: "Maybe the relationship between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun is not going well, so they are in a bad mood?" After a pause, Tu Huijun instantly made up the poignant and bloody love story between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, "It is possible..... I guess it should be Xie Minyun's parents who beat the mandarin ducks, and in order to prevent Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo from being together, they deliberately let Xie Minyun transfer to the ....."
Feng Leiting scoffed, "Anyway, I think Cheng Mo is pretending to be a little too much, it's really strange what Xie Minyun likes about him? Is it just because of good grades?"
——————————————————
Cheng Mo walked to the counter and bought this copy of Eugene Zamyagin's "We", which, together with Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and George Orwell's "1984", is known as the three major dystopian works of the 20th century, which was banned from sale in China for a long time, and this time I don't know why, it was allowed to be published again, so Cheng Mo bought it without hesitation.
After buying the book, Cheng Mo changed to a dessert shop, ordered a Yangzhi nectar and sat down and waited for Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong to call him, and finally no one bothered him, Cheng Mo finished reading the book in one go, and it was evening.
Sitting and watching the news with his mobile phone, Cheng Mo received Fu Yuanzhuo's WeChat, saying that their large army was already on the way, Cheng Mo returned to his position, and waited for Fu Yuanzhuo and their arrival in the dessert shop.
Cheng Mo knew that Fu Yuanzhuo had arranged more than ten or twenty people who had a good relationship with him to celebrate his birthday, Cheng Mo felt that it was too much, in his opinion, friendship is difficult to maintain for a long time without interests, not to mention the friendship between high school students, when everyone goes to college and enters society, except for a very few people, the vast majority of people will go farther and farther, and there will not be much "friendship" left.
And the so-called class reunion has been reduced to a stage to show off wealth, rather than a gathering for everyone to regain their old feelings.
Cheng Mo has always believed that if friendship wants to be profound, first of all, both parties must have similar depth, and the friendship between shallow people is not deep, and most of them are just friends of wine and meat.
Cicero believed that "friendship arises only between bad and good people." Historically, this sentence has been a bit too loyal.
Cheng Mo understood that there had been an insurmountable gap between himself and his high school classmates, and there was no basis for friendship, but he couldn't bear Fu Yuanzhuo's repeated requests, so he went with him.
He and Fu Yuanzhuo still have the basis for friendship, at least Fu Yuanzhuo has a chance to touch the threshold of Taiji Dragon, as for Yan Yitong......
Cheng Mo must take into account Yan Funing, although he is not afraid of Yan Funing, but Yan Funing is a factor that cannot be ignored.
When Cheng Mo was thinking about Yan Yitong, his eyes were covered by a pair of hands, and the sweet and lively voice that he was very familiar with sounded, "Guess who I am?"
