beauty winner

Chapter 83 Nerves

When Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo returned to the bar, they were held back by a table of people.Five or six young people in their 24s and [-]s were relatively familiar with Qi Qingnuo.Yang Jingxing knew everyone one by one, and half of them had English names.A fashionable beauty invited Yang Jingxing to sit down and have a drink. Yang Jingxing said, "Sorry, I still have to drive... have fun."

After returning to the corner, Qi Qingnuo said, "How old do you think Karen is?" It was the woman who was more enthusiastic about Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing said, "Twenty-seven eight."

Qi Qingnuo said: "She has been divorced for four years, her child is five years old, and she doesn't know her anymore."

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "You guys know each other so well?"

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "It's from someone I don't know well."

After a while, Karen came over, tidied the silk scarf in front of Yang Jingxing and took out a business card: "I admire musicians, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

The business card is also in English, like the department head of a public relations company.Yang Jingxing flattered him: "If I have the opportunity to cooperate, it means that I am well-off."

Karen smiled: "Our Yatong partners are all international companies... Are you and Nuonuo classmates?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Junior brother, a freshman brat."

Yang Jingxing smiled.

Karen looked at Yang Jingxing: "I know two of Nuonuo's male classmates, and you are more... different."

Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo: "Do you know twins?"

Qi Qingnuo chuckled and shifted his gaze away, ignoring him.

Yang Jingxing asked Karen: "Are those all your colleagues?"

"Some are and some are not," Karen said.

Yang Jingxing said, "The one in the red dress is definitely not."

Karen was curious: "Why?"

Yang Jingxing said, "He has seen you several times."

Karen glanced at her companion and smiled: "We are not colleagues, but colleagues...have you seen them?"

Yang Jingxing said, "No, I guessed it."

Qi Qingnuo commented: "You are boring enough."

Karen smiled: "We will leave later, I hope to see you again... Before we leave, can I hear you play another piano piece?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it, I think her salary is not as high as yours."

Karen didn't understand at first, and then she was a little embarrassed: "Did you hear that?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "If you are beautiful, you should speak softly."

"Sorry." Karen kept smiling, but was a little confused.

Yang Jingxing said again: "Maybe if I play a piece, you will enjoy listening to it, treat the guests, how about everyone is happy?"

Karen looked at Yang Jingxing for a while: "Okay, it's a deal."

Yang Jingxing said, "Go and declare victory first."

Qi Qingnuo asked in a low voice: "Are they betting?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'll save face for you."

Qi Qingnuo said, "No need."

After a while, Yang Jingxing really went to play a well-tempered piece, but he couldn't hear it, so Karen and Fu Feirong applauded him.Then Karen and the others really left. Karen paid the bill as promised, and asked Yang Jingxing, "When can I see you again?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I'll be there within half an hour."

Karen smiled.

Qi Qingnuo asked: "What if she comes back later?"

Yang Jingxing asked: "Aren't you coming back?"

Qi Qingnuo twitched the corner of his mouth to change the subject: "Where did we talk before?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It is said that her child is five years old and divorced."

Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Yes, I know a lot of people like this, do you want to introduce? Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and help you maintain a tall image."

Yang Jingxing said: "You can't lie to yourself."

Qi Qingnuo said: "You have always been like this with me! Hey, do you usually go outside or take it home?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Forget it, let's talk about art."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "What kind of art?"

Yang Jingxing thought for a while: "I really don't understand."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Did you ask Yu Xinting to call me?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I told her that you won the award."

Qi Qingnuo looked at his empty glass and suggested: "Have another glass?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Enough."

Qi Qingnuo suggested again: "Take me for a drive."

Yang Jingxing agreed.

The car made a big circle around the bar, Qi Qingnuo opened the window, and the cold wind was blowing.It's useless for Yang Jingxing to say, so he can only drive slowly.

Qi Qingnuo occasionally said a word: "Do you feel lonely?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I basically don't."

After a while, Qi Qingnuo asked again: "What about emptiness?"

Yang Jingxing said, "It's okay."

After a while, Qi Qingnuo asked again: "Do you feel that no matter whether it is family affection, friendship, love, harvest or dedication, career... nothing can fill that blank space that I don't know where it is? You are completely powerless, It cannot be indifferent.”

Yang Jingxing laughed dryly: "I think my comprehension ability is a bit blank."

After another long silence, Qi Qingnuo said, "I really want to travel."

Yang Jingxing supported: "Go while you're on vacation."

Qi Qingnuo felt sorry for himself: "I have no destination... Can you take me to a place I've never been to in the shortest possible time."

Yang Jingxing asked, "The men's room?"

Qi Qingnuo didn't even tilt his head, he leaned on the chair and looked out the window, expressionless.

Yang Jingxing said, "Then stop bragging."

Qi Qingnuo raised his hand to close the window, Yang Jingxing accelerated, and after a while, he reached the wide road that was almost empty of cars, and the speed became even faster.

As it became less and less populated, Qi Qingnuo turned his gaze: "Where are you going?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I don't know either."

Qi Qingnuo closed his eyes: "Call me when we arrive."

Yang Jingxing drove at a speed of [-] for more than half an hour. After passing through a section of deserted area, he slowly saw lights again. It should be a small town with the name written on the road sign.

Yang Jingxing stopped at the gas station.Qi Qingnuo opened his eyes, looking a little sleepy: "It's here?"

Yang Jingxing asked, "Have you been here?"

Qi Qingnuo probed to look: "No."

After refueling, Yang Jingxing drove into the small town again.It's quite remote here, and I haven't seen any buildings with more than ten floors.It was past twelve o'clock, and after finally finding a nightclub that was still open, Yang Jingxing stopped the car.The street is a bit dirty, with small buildings of three or four floors on both sides.

Hearing Yang Jingxing speak Mandarin, the boss was still not used to it: "From Puhai? It's so late, where are you going?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Travel."

"Travel in the middle of the night, go to Shiling?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Boss, I won't order. You can choose the best ones and cook for us. I'm really hungry."

Qi Qingnuo said: "I'm hungry too... the more I think about it, the hungrier I get."

The boss discussed and reported the names of several dishes, but both Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo had no objections.Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you still drinking?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "Eat! I didn't eat much in the afternoon." Looking at the messy tables, chairs and benches in the small shop, he rubbed his hands.

Yang Jingxing took out an electric heater-like thing next to it and placed it next to Qi Qingnuo, turned it on, and there was a burst of red light, giving it a slight warmth.

The dishes are served very quickly. Ribs and tofu are cooked in a small round pot, and they are placed on the small gas stove on the table, bursting with steam.

Qi Qingnuo couldn't wait to taste a piece: "It's delicious... Yu Xinting is going to praise life again, rice, I want rice."

After the rice arrived, Qi Qingnuo felt it was a bit cold, so Yang Jingxing asked his old helper to heat it up, or fry it without a microwave.The boss explained that the temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days, and it may snow.

Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo: "Give you a bowl of ginger soup to prevent a cold?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "I eat vegetables, this one is a bit spicy, I'll drink some."

After the four dishes were served, the boss sat next to him and prepared to chat with the guests, while admiring the beauty of Qi Qingnuo.

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Boss, what's the name of this place?"

"Qiao Town is also under the jurisdiction of Shanghai, how did you get here?" the boss was curious.

Qi Qingnuo said: "It's fun... Boss, you cook this fish well."

The boss said: "We are fish in the river... how about the chicken?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Boss is a good crafter...I'll give you the chicken legs."

Qi Qingnuo disliked it: "It's so small."

The boss explained: "The bigger the food, the less delicious it is. It's all grown up with hormones... Hey, it's snowing."

Both Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo looked out. Under the dim street lights, there were some tiny dots of stars.Qi Qingnuo put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran to the door, Yang Jingxing also followed.

The two stood under the dark night sky and raised their heads, hoping that one or two freezing points would fall on their faces.A three-wheeled motorcycle came beeping, stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, looked at Yang Jingxing's car, said hello to the boss, and left.

Qi Qingnuo's phone rang, and she told Yang Jingxing that it was her mother, and then explained on the phone: "We are eating supper...with friends...going back...it's a bit far, you go to bed first!"

After watching the unseasonable snow particles for a while, the two neurotics went back to continue eating. When Yang Jingxing reached the third bowl, Qi Qingnuo also started the second bowl.Qi Qingnuo saw that Yang Jingxing was working hard in the pot, and suggested: "Use a spoon... can this soup be drunk?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Let me try it for you...it tastes good."

"Give me a bowl." Qi Qingnuo ate happily.

After only half an hour, it was almost cleaned up, Qi Qingnuo wiped his lips and sighed: "This meal is delicious."

Yang Jingxing said, "Fortunately, I found it."

Qi Qingnuo put the tissue bag in front of Yang Jingxing, and asked, "Are you going to get up early tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing said, "No delay."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

Yang Jingxing also paid the bill and left after eating. The boss also wished them a smooth journey.After getting into the car, Qi Qingnuo was no longer so listless, and looked at the dark scenery along the road all the way, worrying unnecessarily: "It will be fun if it breaks down at this time."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Well, I'll play with you."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Can you afford it! Do you dare to turn around now and drive directly to the next city?"

Yang Jingxing didn't dare: "Then I'm an adult trafficker."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Are you willing to sell me? Who can afford it!"

After a while, Qi Qingnuo's phone rang again, urging her to go home quickly.Fortunately, Yang Jingxing still remembered the road and drove relatively fast. At two o'clock, he had delivered Qi Qingnuo to his doorstep, not very far from Huihuang.Just like on the road, the two of them didn't have much to say, so they just said goodbye.

At seven o'clock on Saturday morning, Yang Jingxing went to pick up Tao Meng after finding a place to wash the car.

"It's so cold today." The thickly wrapped Tao Meng took off the scarf, "Where are we going?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Temporary confidentiality."

Tao Meng didn't ask further: "I'm going to your school first tomorrow."

After arriving in the suburbs, Tao Meng wondered, "You're not going to Shangpu again, are you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "That's right, there are dozens of places in the school where your name can be read for half a year."

Tao Meng curled her lips: "I don't believe it."

There is a turn on the way, a little closer to the school, the largest indoor ski resort in Puhai.Looking at the large parking lot, you know that there are many guests here.

Tao Meng was a little surprised and worried: "Why did you bring me here?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Didn't you have regrets when you came back from Canada last time?"

Tao Meng asked, "Have you been here?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Twice, I'm still not proficient."

"with whom?"

"One time with Tan Dong, one person at a time, he doesn't have as much perseverance as I do."

Tao Meng looked at the building and said, "I've always wanted to come, but I have no one to accompany me."

Go in and ask for a coach first.Then she chose the ski suit, Tao Meng didn't want to rent it, so she bought it, and Yang Jingxing didn't need to pay for the card. She treated the guests and said, "I haven't used my manuscript fee yet."

The clothes and shoes of the two of them were all chosen by Tao Meng. They were dressed in yellow, yellow and black, not very attractive.The two looked at each other, and Tao Meng said, "Your one is a bit small." No way, Yang Jingxing is the biggest size.

It was only when I entered the ski field that I realized that hundreds of people were in uniform.The coach, a woman in her 30s, asked about the situation.Yang Jingxing said that he could barely do it, and told her to take care of Tao Meng.The snow track is very long, estimated to be three to 400 meters, and the slope varies from big to small.Take care of beginners and learn on the lowest slope.

Yang Jingxing knelt down to help Tao Meng put on the snowboard before coming by himself, and said to the coach: "Based on the principle of not falling, try to learn as much as possible."

Tao Meng is confident: "It's not too difficult."

First, the basic warm-up exercises, Yang Jingxing didn't leave, just watched Tao Meng's toddler from the side, and encouraged: "Learn faster than me."

Tao Meng was very careful, listened carefully, acted strictly, and did not make a fool of herself right away.But after starting to slide, it is inevitable to squat down. Fortunately, the snow here is relatively soft, and the fall will not hurt too much.And Yang Jingxing has been standing by the side, so that Tao Meng can reach out to help her immediately after she falls.

After just over half an hour, Tao Meng was out of breath: "I'm more tired than I thought."

After a few minutes of rest, start again.

It started at 09:30, and by 11:30, Tao Meng was able to slide for a while and stopped smoothly, but her posture was not natural enough.

The two skated side by side for the last time, with a length of about 100 meters. Tao Meng felt complete: "Okay, I'm so tired and hungry."

After coming out to change clothes, Yang Jingxing asked if he would just eat here and continue in the afternoon or go back to the city.Tao Meng said that she was going back to the city: "I definitely don't have the energy to skate, I can't even go shopping."

Yang Jingxing said: "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

"do not want!"

On the way back, Tao Meng looked at the ski suits of the two of them and regretted a bit: "I should have chosen the purple one."

Yang Jingxing said: "Orange looks good."

Tao Meng said, "But the two sets are the same."

Yang Jingxing said, "The sizes are different."

Tao Meng asked again: "How long did you learn it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The first time I didn't learn it for three hours, but the second time I bought an unlimited time ticket. From morning to afternoon, I was able to slide down from the top."

Tao Meng said: "I'm exhausted, and my whole body is limp... But it's finally rewarding. I think playing should be more meaningful."

Yang Jingxing asked: "You praise me?"

Tao Meng was a little proud: "That's right. Have you been recorded as an alumni?"

Yang Jingxing said it had been a long time.Tao Meng talked about a girl in her class who had a boyfriend from Thailand, and she actually wrote a diary in her alumni record about how sweet she is today and how happy she will be tomorrow, but in fact she didn't do anything.Moreover, this girl was not good-looking at first, but the photos she posted seemed to be a different person from before.And her Thai boyfriend, who looks dark and weird, actually asked everyone if he was handsome!

Tao Meng said: "You'll know it when you see it, it's really not pretty at all... It feels like many of my former classmates have changed."

Yang Jingxing said: "If the environment changes, people will change."

Tao Meng asked: "Then have I changed?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I've always wondered what kind of people are around you, making you cuter and cuter."

"Annoying!" Tao Meng raised her chin, "I'm discussing serious things with you."
