Chapter 10 Innocence in Youth
Chapter 10 Innocence in Youth
On Friday, David Fan came downstairs to Xin Di's company on time. Less than 5 minutes later, Xin Di came down, carrying a large canvas bag as usual, and got into his car. She decided to explain to him that she would see him at dinner. people, save him horror.
"My parents will be here later."
As expected, David Fan was obviously taken aback. Xin Di saw his reaction in full view, looked at him with a sarcasm and smiled, "Calm down, it's not just the two of them, Lu Fei and Xin Chen will also be there."
David Fan regretted his impatience, so he had to start the car, and at the same time laughed at himself, "There must be a reason for calling me?"
"That's right, but the reason is not as complicated and serious as you think. You just need to behave decently and participate in the conversation politely. In case my mother asks about your relationship with me, it's OK to say that we have a good impression of each other."
"What if I act more than I like you?"
Xin Di curled her lips, "Don't behave indiscriminately, cause me trouble, I won't thank you."
They walked into the private room reserved by Lu Fei. Xin Kaiming, Li Xin and Lu Fei were already sitting in it. Seeing David Fan, Xin Kaiming and Li Xin were quite surprised. Of course, this man's tall and handsome appearance was only one of the reasons. one.Xin Di gave a very general introduction: "My father, my mother, Lu Fei, you have met before. This is David Fan, my friend."
Xin Kaiming and Li Xin both looked to be in their fifties. They were dressed neatly and conservatively, and their expressions were quite serious, which contrasted sharply with Xin Di, who was wearing a hand-painted graffiti T-shirt.David Fan greeted him politely, his mind turned, and he somewhat knew why Xin Di asked him to come over for dinner.He pulled out the chair for Xindi, and then sat beside her.
"Why hasn't Chenzi come?" Xin Di asked.
Xin Kaiming said: "She called me just now, saying that her father came back suddenly and was going to have dinner with her father. I asked them to come over together."
Xin Di said happily: "Great, I haven't seen my little uncle for almost a year."
David Fan was naturally curious about the little uncle Xin Di used to compare himself with. Xin Di saw that he was very interested, and whispered: "You will see it later, and I promise you will make you feel ashamed."
"Anyway, I met my parents today, including your uncle, and it's worth being ashamed." David Fan didn't care about the blow at all, and replied in a low voice. Xin Di could only marvel at his thick skin.
Li Xin looked at them whispering in surprise, unable to make up her mind what to say.
Xin Kaiming shook his head, "Xiaochen, this kid, told me that he was going to Zongshan Mountain tomorrow, but he didn't come here today and wanted to rest early, but I stopped him. It rained more heavily in the mountain area a few days ago, and he had to catch up with mudslides, Landslides are troublesome. Xiaodi, you have to learn from Xiaochen, you just don’t like sports.”
Xin Di really doesn't like any sports. She smiled and said, "I want to drive to Tibet like her, and my mother has to be the first to rush with me."
"You don't care if I'm in a hurry now." Li Xin said angrily, "This time I went to Hong Kong, it took a few days before I remembered to call me."
When it came to Hong Kong, Xin Di and David Fan couldn't help but look at each other with ulterior motives.Xin Di quickly looked away, "The places I go to are safe and sound, just like going to work, don't worry. Ah, by the way, Mom, the company arranged for me to go to New York Fashion Week in the middle of next month. I will report in advance to save I forgot to say it when I got it."
"You just forget that you have a mother." Li Xin had no choice but to shake her head with a smile on her daughter, "You have never been to New York, anyone go with you?"
"Ah KEN departs directly from Hong Kong, I'll see where the flight ticket booked for me is going, anyway, we will meet there."
Lu Fei said: "I have to go to New York for a meeting next month, maybe we can go together when the time is confirmed."
Li Xin said happily: "That's good, that's good." She suddenly remembered that David Fan was still by her side, and thought that her daughter reiterated on the phone during the day that she had no idea about Lu Fei, and now she brought a male friend to show up, although I have to wait until I go back to torture to find out what the relationship between the two is, but it's not good to neglect him or let him misunderstand, so I smiled kindly at him: "Xiaodai, Lu Fei and Xiaodi have been classmates since childhood, and Xiaodi is sloppy. , someone will take care of you when you are on a business trip, so I can rest assured."
David Fan nodded and said yes, "Yes, Xiaodi almost lost her luggage in Hong Kong this time." At the airport, Xindi answered the phone and walked forward absent-mindedly, almost forgetting a few bags on the seat. Going up to return it to her, she only reluctantly said "thank you" impatiently.
"Did you go to Hong Kong together?" Li Xin was really surprised.
Xin Di groaned inwardly, knowing that her mother was very perceptive in some matters, but it was inconvenient to stare at David Fan as a warning. Fortunately, he didn't intend to provoke her, and replied quite well, "I'm in the advertising business, and I'll go see it too. Fashion show, and Xiaodi met in Hong Kong."
"Isn't it because we met in Hong Kong?"
David Fan said honestly: "Auntie, Xiaodi and I are alumni of the Academy of Fine Arts. We are two years older than her. We have known each other for almost ten years."
Li Xin was afraid that her daughter would randomly bring a passer-by to dinner to perfuse her, but now she couldn't help but become more interested in David Fan, and asked about his work situation, he naturally answered every question and was very serious.
Xin Kaiming chatted with Lu Fei.Lu Fei's father had been transferred to work in a southern province a few years ago. Xin Kaiming asked about the situation of the old leader and his family with concern, and Lu Fei answered them one by one.Then we talked about the development project of Haotian. Xin Kaiming is currently the leader of the Municipal Economic Commission, so he is naturally concerned about the operation of the city's major projects. Lu Fei briefly introduced the progress of the work. He told Xin Kaiming that his sister Lu Shi will represent Haotian soon. The group came to follow up the project, and at the same time specifically mentioned that the house where Xin Chen lived was also included in the demolition this time.Xin Kaiming nodded, "I'll ask Xiaochen later what his plans are. Why hasn't this kid arrived yet?"
Just as he was talking, Xin Chen opened the door and walked in, talking and laughing with a man beside him who looked less than 40 years old.After David Fan sized him up, he had to admit that it was really not insulting for Xin Di to compare him with himself.
Wearing a yellow and black striped POLO shirt, Xin Kaiyu looked surprisingly young, not at all like the father of a 25-year-old daughter.He has a chic demeanor, and his appearance is indeed worthy of the four characters of gentle and handsome.Xin Chen looks very similar to him, this kind of appearance makes the daughter's beauty a bit heroic, and it is too beautiful for a man, but with a little trace of time, it is quite mature.He greeted his elder brother and sister-in-law, but when he saw Lu Fei standing up, he was slightly taken aback. They had met before, so naturally they both had impressions, and they nodded to each other.
Xin Di has always been very close to Xin Kaiyu, so she hurriedly asked her little uncle to sit beside her, and introduced David Fan vaguely. He looked so young, and David Fan couldn't bear to call him uncle, so he just got up and shook hands with him in greeting.
"Why are you still so elusive, and you didn't tell me in advance when you came back." Xin Kaiming said unceremoniously to his brother.
Xin Kaiyu didn't care about his elder brother's reprimanding tone for decades, he just said: "I have something to do at the moment." Then he turned to Xin Di, "Dizi, this dress is very beautiful."
Xin Di laughed, her mother just whispered to her that her self-made graffiti T-shirt was a bit out of shape, "Little uncle, you are not old at all, you must teach my father how to take care of it."
"Your father is born to worry about his life, there is no way." Xin Kaiyu said lightly.
The waiter began to serve the dishes, and Xin Kaiming asked Xin Chen about his plans after the demolition.Others Xin Chen can be perfunctory, but she can only answer seriously to her uncle: "Right now the housing price is too high, I don't want to buy a house for now, maybe rent a house to live in."
Xin Kaiyu smiled and said, "You can also live in Kunming for a while." He went to the Southwest to do business a few years ago and has already bought a house there.
Xin Kaiming shook his head, "Xiaochen can go to your place to play, but he can't go around the world like you. Girls will get married anyway, and it's okay not to buy a house. When you get the demolition money, plan your investment carefully and don't spend it indiscriminately." No need to rent a house, you can move in and live with Xiaodi, just to be a companion."
Li Xin frowned, she instinctively disliked this idea, but of course it was inconvenient to say anything at this time.Xin Di didn't mind living with her cousin, but she saw Xin Chen winking at her quickly, obviously signaling to reassure her that she wouldn't live here, so she couldn't help being amused, and winked at her too.
The dishes came out one after another, Xin Chen seemed to have a good appetite today, he was not as sleepy as he was when he ate with Lu Fei last time.Lu Fei served her soup, "You like bamboo fungus soup, and this store just happens to have it."
Xin Chen said softly, "Thank you."
Of course, he knows her taste. They have eaten more than once before. Apart from the small restaurant downstairs at Xinchen’s house where Lu Fei strongly doubts its hygiene, Lu Fei also took her to famous restaurants in the city. , but found that she was far more familiar with good restaurants than he was. She didn't even need to look at the menu when ordering food.
She lowered her head to drink the soup, Li Xin looked at Lu Fei's eyes of undisguised concern, and sighed secretly, knowing that her daughter and him were probably completely impossible, and at the same time, she saw that David Fan was passing Xin Di's favorite dishes in front of her, while Xin Di focused on talking to Xin Kaiyu and ignored it.She thought that apart from the fact that this man looked so unusually handsome and behaved fairly well, she didn't know what her precious daughter was thinking.
Xin Kaiming and Li Xin were not talkative, and Lu Fei was even more silent, but Xin Di and Xin Kaiyu chatted happily. David Fan, who was left out in the cold, had nothing to say and said, "Xin Chen, the owner of this restaurant The LOGO seems to be designed by you, right?"
Xin Chen nodded. This LOGO was the first relatively large order that David Fan helped her accept more than two years ago.The price she asked for was not high, and the designs she came out were clean and beautiful, and the restaurant owner was very satisfied. Since then, she has slowly built a reputation in this industry.She pointed to the thick and beautifully bound menu next to it, "I also edited the pictures on the menu they made this year. The boss is obsessed with photography. The equipment is very professional, but the technology is too bad, and he insists on doing it himself. Shooting, can only rely on post-processing."
Seeing that David Fan actually knew Xin Chen, Li Xin was secretly vigilant, but fortunately Xin Chen didn't say anything and continued to eat.
"Lu Fei, you have to stay here until the end of the project?" Li Xin asked.
Lu Fei hesitated, "After this project is over, I plan to stay here forever."
Xin Kaiming was a little surprised. He knew about the cooperation between Haotian Group and Lu Fei's company. Generally, venture capital companies will inject funds in batches, and some people will participate in the implementation of the project, but they will not follow up the whole process. Venture capital companies only have one office in Beijing, and it is unlikely that they will set up branches locally.
Lu Fei's father, Lu Jingzhong, was his old leader. He had served as Lu Jingzhong's secretary-general for five years, and they had a deep relationship with each other. He naturally cared about Lu's family affairs.Right now, Lu Jingzhong is working as a local official in a southern province. His daughter Lu Shi is married to Su Jie, the general manager of Haotian Group.At this time, what Lu Fei said vaguely implied the meaning of leaving that company and staying in the local area for development. He remembered what his wife said to him before Lu Fei went abroad a few years ago, which he thought was ridiculous at the time. He couldn't help pondering Xin Chen's obvious concern.
Xin Chen's cell phone rang, she took it out to check the number, frowned slightly, "Yi'an, hello."
"I'm sorry, Xiaochen, I lost my composure when I drank too much that day."
Xin Chen thought for a while, and then he remembered that what he said should be the chance encounter in the bar two days ago, "It's nothing, it's the past."
"Where are you? I'm here to pick you up and have dinner together. I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Excuse me, I'm having dinner now, can I talk to you on the phone if I have anything to say?"
Feng Yi'an was silent for a while, "Forget it, I'll contact you another day, goodbye."
Xin Chen put down the phone and found that the private room suddenly became strangely quiet. Xin Kaiming, Li Xin, Xin Kaiyu and Xin Di were all looking at her. She suddenly realized that Feng Yi'an's name should not be mentioned. Sure enough, Xin Kaiming asked: " Xiao Chen, is it Xiao Feng? We broke up, why is he still pestering me?"
Xin Chen smiled, "No entanglement, we haven't seen each other for a long time, just to say hello."
Xin Kaiming obviously didn't like the saying that goodbye is still a friend, "Last time you said that he had a girlfriend again, don't talk to this kind of person too much, to save trouble."
Xin Chen nodded with a smile, Xin Kaiyu couldn't help laughing, "Chenzi is an adult, he will handle these things well, brother, don't worry about it."
Xin Kaiming glared at his younger brother, "She was your child no matter how old she was, you never remember that."
Coming out of the restaurant, Xin Di and Xin Chen walked behind, "Chenzi, come to my house tomorrow if you have nothing to do."
Xin Chen whispered: "I'm going hiking tomorrow, I have an appointment with someone."
"Didn't my dad say he was afraid of mudslides and wouldn't let you go?"
Xin Chen said with a smile: "No, the rain has stopped for two days, don't tell uncle, I'll be back in the afternoon, it's safe."
"I really don't understand, can this thing be addictive? Come back and come to me directly, I have something to tell you."
"it is good."
The next day was cloudy, the air in the mountains was fresh, and the temperature was suitable. The vertical mountain was not strong, but there was a large and steep hillside with almost no roads and thorny thorns. You have to be careful, and you will be caught by sharp thorns if you are not careful.
Xin Chen has rich experience, so naturally there is no problem, but after returning from Tibet, he started to rush to finish the work at hand, and his physical strength has not fully recovered, so he was a little short of breath and tired.They had been walking for four hours, and they were sitting and resting on the ground in a slightly flat place.
Bruce discovered three years ago that Xin Chen was almost completely silent when he was walking, and he didn't like to talk, and he obviously still maintains this habit now.He didn't mind either, and looked at the few people posing for pictures down the hillside with a mocking look, "I can't figure it out, you'd be mixed up with them."
No wonder Bruce disdained it. Today was the regular route. A few people brought their girlfriends over, but they couldn’t keep up with the progress.There is another young girl who is an employee of a foreign company. She has just started to participate in outdoor activities. She drives a small red sports car with a full set of brand-name outdoor outfits. She was quite reserved at first. After seeing Bruce today, she took the initiative to invite him to go with her in the car. At the same time, he also said euphemistically: "My car is too small, Hehuan should take another car."
Xin Chen didn't care about her little thoughts, just smiled, and got on the off-road vehicle of the activity initiator.After starting to climb the mountain, the whole team slowly opened up the distance, and they were parallel to Bruce at first, and the beautiful woman who talked to him directly in English from time to time gradually fell behind, and Bruce couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Xin Chen smiled, "People are group animals, and they have to tolerate each other. You can choose to ignore those who don't like you! You often go to forums, I thought you should have accepted their ways."
"The only reason I go there is if you are okay, otherwise I don't know what you are doing at all."
Xin Chen didn't answer his words, "Anyway, you know that there is another group of people who are even more deadly. They play games while going up the mountain. One day the fox catches the rabbit, and the next day they simply pretend to be the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, drink with hiking shoes, pretend to be so romantic People can't stand it. This time," she raised her chin, "it's not bad."
"I still insist that there should be no more than ten people on a long-distance hike. It is good to have at most two or three people for such a short-distance crossing. You are not as adventurous as before, Hehuan. Could it be that the last time you went to the Qinling Mountains left a shadow?"
Xin Chen was silent for a while, shaking his head, "Since I survived, I have no shadow, otherwise I would not travel again. It's just that after that time, I decided to cherish other people's lives, as well as my own, to go to a dangerous place It’s not a problem, but you must be fully prepared.”
"That's good, I don't want the only time we walked together to become a memory you don't want to think about, remember? We sat there like this, until the third day together, and you told me more a few words."
Three years ago, Xin Chen went to his uncle's house for dinner on weekends. He heard from Xin Di that Lu Fei called her and would return to this city for a few days on Monday. The uncle and aunt were very happy, but she just lowered her head and ate the meal. Hastily said goodbye and went home, sat in a daze for a while, turned on the computer and logged in to an outdoor forum I often go to.
She had no purpose at all, but was planning to leave the city. The first post she clicked was that an outdoor club in Xi’an was recruiting donkey friends to trek through the Qinling Taibai Mountains in the east-west direction. She didn’t look at the specific route, so she immediately followed up and signed up. up.
The next day, she called the director of the work unit to quit her job, went out to buy a ticket and things to bring, went to her uncle's house at night, said she resigned and planned to travel to Xi'an immediately.The aunt's face darkened, and the uncle said angrily, "Xiaochen, you've only been on duty for less than a month."
"I'm sorry, uncle." Xin Chen could completely ignore the aunt's displeasure, but she always felt guilty towards the uncle, otherwise she would not accept the job he arranged, but she still overestimated her own endurance.
Although she came back from looking for a job in other places, she decided to listen to her uncle's words and live a good life, but she was so bored in this class that she just wanted to escape, and Lu Fei was going back to this city again. Reason for fleeing.
Li Xin said unhappily: "Xiaochen, your job was arranged by your uncle. It's leisurely, and the benefits are good. Many students who graduated from prestigious schools are blocked from entering. How can you be so rash?"
She was speechless, and could only lower her head and remain silent. Xin Di just came back from get off work and smoothed things over: "Let Chenzi do what she wants."
"But what exactly do you want to do? Wouldn't it be to go to Xi'an with your boyfriend?" Li Xin deduced rudely.
Xin Chen did have a boyfriend in university who was from the Northwest. Xin Kaiming met the boy at school once and had a good impression of him. But a few months before graduation, Xin Chen insisted on going out to find a job alone. After a happy break up, she was not in the mood to explain, and knowing that an explanation would inevitably lead to a lesson like "Girls should respect themselves, this is the first boyfriend you broke up with", so she just bowed her head and said nothing.
Xin Kaiming was originally annoyed, but seeing her unusually silent, he softened his heart, "Xiaochen, you are too old, you can't just think about playing, you should settle down and work hard."
She only said softly: "I will be willful for the last time, uncle, I promise, I will work hard when I come back."
Yet that capriciousness had nearly cost her and Bruce's life. Bruce was used to taking risks and only saw them as a rare life experience, but she didn't see it that way.
Not far away, a donkey friend called them to go, Xin Chen jumped up, lowered his head and smiled at Bruce, "It's not good to be immersed in memories all the time."
"But you just happened to be immersed in memories." Bruce's voice was unhurried, "Of course it's not about my memories."
Xin Chen's body froze, and then he smiled wryly, "Hey, let's stop talking about this."
She put on her backpack, picked up her trekking poles and set off. Bruce could only shake his head and follow, not sure if he had been too reckless just now.Just like three years ago, the slender figure in front had a straight back, and his steps were even and steady, unlike the usual lazy gait.
After the end of the vertical mountain, as usual, we found a place for everyone to have dinner, but Xin Chen said that there was still something to do, and when the car returned to the city, she took a taxi directly to Xin Di's house.
"Why did you come here?" Xin Di opened the door for Xin Chen and complained.
"I didn't even attend their dinner, so I just ran over here." Xin Chen threw his backpack to the entrance, covered his mouth and yawned, kicked off his hiking shoes, stepped on the floor with his socks on, "I'm so tired, how about Let's go for a foot massage."
"I can't understand your self-abuse spirit. Why bother to tire yourself out like this. Not tonight, I'm going out later."
Xin Chen looked her up and down with a smile, "I said why did you dress up so beautifully today, so there is a date."
The dressing rules have always taught petite girls not to wear clothes with complicated colors and styles, but Xin Di obviously ignored this. She was wearing a dark green pleated long shirt with a dark gold belt, and the hem was tied up at one corner, revealing that she was only bigger than the shirt. The slightly longer red tutu skirt looks pleasing and conspicuous.
"David Fan asked me to go to the concert."
Xin Chen whistled with a smile, "Is he chasing you?"
Xin Di shrugged, "It seems to be, although I don't know why."
"It can only be said that he finally did one thing right." Xin Chen smiled and sat on the sofa to stretch his arms and legs. "Okay, if you have something in your heart to tell me, I will listen."
Xin Di sat next to her, glared at her, picked up the makeup mirror and paint brush on the coffee table, "Do you think I have an addiction to talking to people? Just to tell you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to buy a house, you can live here for as long as you like." Okay, I'm bored living alone."
Xin Chen put his arms around her shoulders, "Dizi, I know you are the best. After the house is demolished, I may put the computer and some materials with you, and dispose of all other things that can be sold, and then go to I will live in Kunming and Lijiang for a while, and I will go to Europe next year to see which city has more job opportunities, so I can work honestly and earn money. If you come back to the local area, of course thank you for taking me in without staying in a hotel.”
"Hey, you smell like sweat." Xin Di honestly pushed her away, and she laughed.
"Is that all? Then I'll go back and take a shower."
"You sit down for me."
Xin Di put down the makeup mirror, hesitated for a while, but didn't know where to start.Xin Chen looked back at her, their eyes met, and the corner of Xin Chen's mouth moved slightly, obviously understanding what she wanted to say, but he just smiled without saying a word.Xin Di suddenly couldn't bear her casual expression anymore, she lowered her face and said, "Don't treat me like a passerby, do you really want to leave here forever?"
Xin Chen suppressed his smile, leaned back on the sofa, and said wearily, "Dizi, I just want to go for a walk."
"Aren't you going to keep walking around from now on and never come back?"
"It depends on the situation. If you meet someone you like or a place you like, you can live there; if you think it's good to come back, I'll come back. I don't reject this city. Except for the bad weather, everything else is fine."
Xin Chen said it frankly, and Xin Di admitted that such a way of life is at least attractive to herself, but she couldn't help saying what she had been pressing in her heart for the past few days, "Lu Fei said he wanted to pursue you."
"Don't be funny, doesn't he have a girlfriend? Uncle met him on a business trip to Beijing in April this year, and when he came back, he said that they were planning to get married, and you heard that too." Xin Chen said lazily, "Based on how he treats himself He will not do such things as stepping on two boats.”
Xin Di went to Beijing to watch the fashion week more than two years ago, and had a quick meeting with Lu Fei and his girlfriend. She was a gentle and beautiful woman in her impression, "They have already broken up."
Xin Chen looked at her thoughtfully, with a slightly surprised expression, and then spread his hands, "It's a pity to make him feel sad. There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world, and he will meet a suitable girl again, but, I'm not going to be his backup."
"Do you hate him for not contacting you for so long after returning to China?"
Xin Chen was silent.
In fact, when Lu Fei left, he still came to say goodbye to her, even though they hadn't contacted for two months before that.He handed her a half-folded letterhead, "Xiaochen, I applied for an email address for you, and we will keep in touch."
She thought she had persuaded herself to accept the reality long ago, but at that moment she suddenly became furious. She took the letter paper without looking at it, tore it up a few times and threw it away with her hands. Through the scraps of paper that fell between them, She said coldly: "Are you all so keen to leave your address and email address to me? I don't want it. If you want to leave, you can go clean and thorough. You don't need to report to me that the weather is good there, I met new classmates, etc. nonsense."
Lu Fei, who was standing in front of her, turned pale, "You have to be reasonable, Xiaochen."
"I've never been unreasonable, thank you all for not wasting your time reasoning with me."
Seeing the pain in Lu Fei's eyes, she was also in pain, but the pain was pounding in her chest, and she just wanted to vent it in the most intense way.Only with a little Yu Yong from Girls' Generation, can she express her anger so arrogantly, like a wild cat, stretching out her sharp claws unscrupulously, hurting those who are willing to be hurt by her.
If it was now, even if she didn't want to contact someone anymore, she would probably take the letter politely, turn around and walk away before throwing it away.Thinking of this, she smiled slightly.
"Not only after returning to China, I haven't contacted him for seven years. All the news about him comes from you and uncle: he entered the business school of UC Berkeley, his sister got married, he graduated, he returned to China, and he He is working in Beijing, he is coming back for vacation, he has a girlfriend, and he is getting married... In this way, a lot has happened in seven years.” Xin Chen’s smile deepened, “Dizi, will you What are your thoughts on these bits and pieces?"
Xin Di thought about it seriously, and could only shake her head frankly, "I have no idea."
"Yeah, I don't think so either. I can't jump for joy when I win the lottery when I hear he's single now and has a crush on me."
"You used to like him, didn't you?"
Xin Chen said lightly: "Dizi, the three of us went to the same school before, okay? You don't need me to tell you that about half of the girls in the school have a crush on him. It's not ashamed to admit that I liked him."
Xin Di was speechless for a while, Xin Chen took the powder brush in her hand, knelt down on the sofa, carefully swept the powder on her face, then picked up the eye shadow box, looked at her clothes, and chose a little With a light golden-brown color, she began to apply eyeshadow for her.
When Xin Chen first started working, she was doing post-processing in a photography studio, where everyone had multiple jobs, and she also acted as a model and put on makeup, and she had developed quite professional makeup skills. The head let her operate on the face.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a chance to fulfill your girlhood dream?" Xin Di asked suddenly.
Xin Chen stopped her hands, Xin Di opened her eyes and saw that she was turning her face away, she seemed to be shaking with laughter, she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, "Hey, this is a bit sour, but it's the truth, don't laugh at me like that."
"I'm sorry Dizi, I didn't laugh at you." Xin Chen bit his lips, as if trying to hold back a smile, then motioned her to close her eyes, and continued to put on her eyeshadow, "Just like I liked him, he probably liked me too, According to what you said, I was quite popular with boys at that time. But that kind of liking is really fragile and can't stand wasted, and don't need me to repeat what you said, I'm not what I used to be. "
Xin Di suddenly opened her eyes, and Xin Chen in front of her still had a little smile on her face, but the two were so close, Xin Di saw her eyes were deep and dim, and those eyes were obviously unhappy, as if she suddenly lost strength Let yourself play casually.
Under her gaze, Xin Chen retreated, sat on the leg curled up on the sofa, and smiled wryly.
"My evaluation of you is purely my perverted personal aesthetic taste starting from my design career. You are still a beauty now."
Xin Chen was really amused now, "You are really kind, Dizi. No, I know, when I was self-willed and arrogant in the past, it must have been a strange attraction. Now, since I choose to be a reasonable and good person, I can only sacrifice Personal charm."
Xin Di heard this statement for the first time, and looked carefully at the cousin in front of her again. Xin Chen completely recovered her composure, accepted her scrutiny calmly, and did not evade at all, "What's the matter, Chen Zi? I'm probably an idiot in life. A little bit, but I know that if there is no accident, you will not change so completely. Did Lufei hurt you? If so, I will never forgive him. "
"No, no, he has always...disciplined himself, alas, I'm probably the only one who hurt him, so I'm very surprised why he still has the idea of pursuing me. He is a good boy just like you, so he will fall in love with you. A bit willful and not out of the ordinary bad boy." She smiled shortly, "But unfortunately, when a person grows up, he will not be as righteous and arrogant as before. I can't satisfy his interest anymore, let's not talk about him okay?"
Xin Di was a little depressed for a while, she looked up at the ceiling, and said after a while: "Chenzi, I don't know what happened between you. But it is rare to have a relationship that can last from childhood to the present. As a matter of principle, give him and yourself a chance."
"Nothing can last forever. Probably everyone is a little naive when they are young, but it's a joke to stay naive."
"Have I become a joke for my innocence? I always feel that the feelings when I was young were more sincere. When I was like this, I couldn't be moved easily when someone pursued me. When I think of dating, I only hope that it can be interesting and not boring. Well, otherwise, it would be more interesting to draw design drawings at home."
"I don't mean that. I'm just talking about myself. It's better to stay in the child's time for childish desires. Believe me, dating is the best way to kill boredom. Dating with David Fan will definitely not be boring."
Xin Di's cell phone rang, and she answered listlessly, "Well, okay, I'll be right down." Putting down the cell phone, she sat still.
Xin Chen smiled helplessly, sat up, and patted her hands, "I got the flute, go play, be happy, don't let my words affect your dating mood." She picked up the makeup tools again, and quickly helped her apply Mascara, lip gloss with a lip brush, and then powder to set the makeup, tilting your head and looking at it with satisfaction, "Okay."
"Where will the little uncle live when he comes back? After you get through, there is only one bedroom left."
"I have a sleeping bag, and I can sleep in the living room. And my dad went to meet friends after dinner yesterday, and didn't come home at all."
"You can sleep with me today, it's more comfortable than sleeping in a sleeping bag. Go to the closet to find suitable clothes, take a bubble bath quickly, put on a mask, don't rely on your good looks, it's not good at all. Maintenance. There is food in the refrigerator, and you can cook it yourself when you are hungry.”
Xin Di picked up the retro backpack on the coffee table, took a step and stopped, looked back at Xin Chen, "As long as you are happy, Chen Zi."
"It's not easy to do anything else. Fortunately, it's not difficult to find some fun." Xin Chen smiled.
David Fan was already waiting by the side of the car, and while opening the door for Xin Di, he praised sincerely: "You look beautiful today, Xin Di."
"Thank you."
David Fan started the car and drove out of the yard, followed the main road out of the urban area and onto the outer ring road to the sports center in the outskirts of the city. This road faces west, and there are very few vehicles. In the distance, the sunset is halfway down, and the clouds are dyed red by the brilliant rays of the sky.
"Why do you look unhappy?"
Xin Di said sullenly: "I'm sorry, it's not against you, but I just remembered something and suddenly felt boring."
David Fan didn't care, "Of course it's impossible for everything to be interesting, otherwise we wouldn't have to try our best to make ourselves happy."
"How do you usually coax yourself?"
"I'm easier to coax, and I don't make trouble with myself."
Xin Di snorted, "I don't need to ask, you probably have never been unhappy at all, have you?"
"If I can really be happy and heartless and live to the age of 30, I have to boast about my talent. You used me as a shield to Lu Fei last night, I was very unhappy."
Xin Di laughed, "Don't worry, I won't force you. At most, I'll find someone else to make up for it next time."
"So you still have a spare tire."
Xin Di said honestly: "Of course, if he hadn't had a convulsion and ran to the Everest base camp, which round would we get you?"
She told the truth, she and A Feng had a tacit understanding, and she had helped him resist his family's interrogation. If he was here, she would definitely ask him to come over, and she would never ask David Fan.
David Fan didn't believe it at all. He felt that Xin Di was not the kind of girl who had a ready-made boyfriend but would almost have sex with him, but he didn't intend to tell the truth, he just laughed, "Come on, I thank you and him too , gave me this opportunity to let him have fun there, and don’t have to come back in a hurry. Is it okay to just make one opinion? You have to be famous for being a shield. I hope you can tell Lu Fei directly next time that I am you Boyfriend, you don't need to introduce so vaguely."
Xin Di also smiled, "Hey, do you really want to pursue me?"
"Why don't we try to be together? I think it should be very happy."
Xin Di looked at him sideways, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face through the front windshield. The side that was plated with a little pale gold had a straight nose bridge, thick black eyebrows, and a little smile at the corner of his mouth. He was impeccably handsome.She could only admit that it was indeed pleasing to the eye, and besides other things, just looking at such a face should be a happy thing.But falling in love with him just for this reason seems a bit unreasonable.
She didn't answer his words, and picked up the concert tickets on the dashboard to look at them. She was really shocked. The two infield tickets were not very high-end, but the prices were more than a thousand yuan. "Haha It’s a money grab, last year I watched Eason Chan’s concert at Hong Kong Coliseum, and the highest ticket price was only more than 400 Hong Kong dollars.”
"The performance market in the mainland is like this. Big-name singers come less often, and performers monopolize the market. They use the excuse of high cost of performances to offer exorbitantly high ticket prices, but there are always people chasing after them. There is no way." The inside story of a business-like show.
The car got off the outer ring road and drove into the avenue leading to the sports center. The sky was getting dark and there was a sudden increase in traffic, obviously all of them were going to the concert.The police are diverting the traffic along the way, and the road in front of the sports center has already started to be blocked.
David Fan's car moved slowly with the vehicle in front, and finally drove into the parking lot of the sports center.After they parked the car, there were excited spectators everywhere, small vendors selling binoculars and gadgets for the fun shuttled back and forth, such a relaxed and lively atmosphere unconsciously infected Xin Di.David Fan bought a handful of childish fluorescent sticks and handed them to her, she took them with a smile and waved them casually.
The two entered the arena following the flow of people. The entrance to this concert was strictly controlled. Ticket holders had to go through three checkpoints for scanning and security checks before entering the arena.Finally sat down on the seat, the sky was completely dark, the stage in front of me was composed of the main stage, the extended stage, the side stage and the lifting stage. There were super-sized LED screens hanging on both sides behind the main stage, and there were large projection screens around. It is gorgeous and open, and it really took a lot of money to build it as advertised in the newspaper.
David Fan looked at the ticket in his hand that had been detected by the scanner, and suddenly smiled, "I remember when I was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts ten years ago, an out-of-date Hong Kong group came to the stadium for a concert, and we only chipped in to buy a ticket, but There were probably more than a hundred people in the arena."
"Ah, no, I went that time too." Xin Di couldn't help laughing.
The Academy of Fine Arts where the two of them studied has always had a bad reputation in the local area. In addition to their strange dress and unrestrained behavior, the students are also famous for being able to imitate everything, from concert tickets, park tickets, zoo tickets, Movie tickets, monthly train tickets and canteen meal tickets are all drawn by hand, and they are lifelike.
The buses along the Academy of Fine Arts were deeply troubled. When the conductors saw the students coming up from this station, they would pay special attention to precautions. They took the monthly tickets and looked at them again and again. The more innocent the students under the inspection, the more likely they were to use Hand-painted monthly pass.Sometimes the conductor would be annoyed, "Hey, don't tell me, this ticket is much more beautifully painted than our company's printing."
Xin Di has never used a counterfeit monthly ticket, but she is surprisingly brave. She was only a freshman, and she immediately responded when she heard the call to use fake tickets for a concert. She got back three tickets and asked Lu Fei and Xin Chen to go together go.Xin Chen was naturally happy, Lu Fei hesitated for a moment, looked at the excited Xin Chen, and promised to bring her over then.
Xin Di, you are really slow.Looking back now, she couldn't help laughing.Of course, Lu Fei played the violin since elementary school and loves classical music. How could he bother to listen to that kind of concert? If it wasn't for making Xin Chen happy, he wouldn't go.
It was a weekend in winter, Lu Fei brought Xin Chen over, and the three met in the gymnasium. Xin Di held the tickets and swaggered to let them in, and then kept talking and laughing with the students around him.Lu Fei couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Xiao Di, your classmates are very rich, so many people came to the concert."
Xin Di smiled secretly, and admitted that the ticket was a counterfeit. Lu Fei was taken aback and couldn't help shaking his head, "You guys are really..." He didn't criticize, and could see that Xin Chen's eyes were shining. He just thought it was interesting, but Xin Di Di didn't care about criticism at all, so he had to smile to let himself not spoil the scenery.
Xin Di really didn't have any psychological burden on this matter. After that, she used fake admission tickets to mix with various exhibitions more than once.
Her classmates with excess energy always put on an assembly line posture, find suitable materials, and each person is responsible for a process, earnestly imitating all kinds of meaningless and worthless bills, without any sense of guilt.Most of the students studying at the Academy of Fine Arts are from good families. In Xin Di’s view, their enthusiasm and dedication have long exceeded their face value. Perhaps everyone regards it more as a challenge to order, a collective prank and carnival active.
Thinking of such an interesting past, Xin Di turned her head, looked at David Fan and smiled knowingly.
As the low-altitude fireworks rose, Jacky Cheung in a golden coat appeared on the stage, and the sports center with a capacity of 4 people boiled instantly.Although the age is not in doubt, the strength of the God of Songs is obvious to all. The four songs and dances made the atmosphere of the scene set off a small climax.
While listening to the song, Xin Di pays attention to the stage design and costumes of the actors. This is her occupational disease.Quite a few of the audience in front of her stood up excitedly. She was small, so her line of sight was naturally blocked, so she couldn't think about it.
The audience at the back first yelled "Sit down in front", but there was not much response after repeated yells. The high temperature in summer and the local people's fiery temper flared up, and two audience members scuffled not far from their seats. People also joined the battle group, and the audience area was in chaos.
David Fan was born in track and field, and his movements were very agile. Before Xin Di could react, he blocked a flying mineral water bottle with one hand, picked her up with the other hand, stepped over the fallen seat, and retreated to the isolation pier. Only then did he let her go.
Xin Di looked at the dark and chaotic audience area in shock, "We can fight like this."
"Don't worry, the security is tight today, and they will be cleaned up in a while." David Fan watched the fighting scene with great interest, and seemed to find it more interesting than the singing god on the stage.
Sure enough, a team of police and security rushed in immediately, quickly subdued the few people who were fighting vigorously, and lifted up the seats. The people who came in rushed to occupy the seats.
David Fan shook his head with a smile, and saw that Jacky Cheung, who was on tiptoe and started to sing "Snow Wolf Lake" in the stands, had exquisite costumes as a backing dancer, and she must have wanted to see it very much. Get up and sit on a high isolation pier.Xin Di was so frightened that she tightly grasped his shoulders with her hands, fearing that it would slip off, but she immediately realized that she could see much more clearly than the seat just now, and her eyes were facing the stage unobstructed, so she couldn't help being very excited , Many men next to him also followed suit and put their girlfriends on the isolation pier.
David Fan stood beside her, wrapped her arms around her waist, and supported her with her body, while her hands were wrapped around his shoulders, and her body leaned against him.Xin Di didn't dare to bow her head, so she could only keep looking forward.The entire audience was singing familiar songs one after another. Under such a warm atmosphere, there seemed to be no ambiguity, but the bodies of the two were pressed together, and the posture was extremely intimate.
After a song was almost finished, Jacky Cheung stopped and stood on the stage. Through the LED, he could clearly see the sweat on the forehead of this 40-year-old man. He then began to sing "She Comes to My Concert":
……
I sang her intoxicated
I sang her heart breaking
She tries not to look tired
The years are listening to us singing no regrets
Sing to the applause until I shed tears
Hey……
Xin Di had never been a fan of Jacky Cheung before. At this time, the audience was quiet, no one sang wildly, no one waved light sticks, only this song was left floating in the sports center, and all the audience listened attentively. was deeply touched.
Such a highly refined emotional journey, such a sentiment and tacit understanding of the growth of the singer and the audience, all seem to be integrated in this song. Cheers.
Xin Di looked back and found that David Fan was staring at her with a smile, and seemed to say something, but in such a noisy environment, how could he hear it clearly.Just as she was about to bend down, he suddenly hugged her down, leaned close to her ear and repeated: "We also went to the concert together ten years ago, although it was with another hundred classmates, I hope that from now on, we will always I have the opportunity to accompany you to the concert."
His lips touched her ears, and his breath was blowing hotly against her ears, causing a little tingling feeling, which spread.He put her back on the isolation pier again, still looking at her with a smile, the spotlight swept across the field, his upturned face was full of spirits.
Xin Di was dazzled for a moment, she thought, is this the legendary flirting?If he did it, it was really exciting, and he could make his old heart beat like a young girl in Huaichun in an instant.
She looked back at the stage, and it was time for her return. Jacky Cheung, who had changed his clothes, re-entered the stage and began to sing highly popular songs. The audience of [-] people sang in unison, and the atmosphere reached its peak.At the end of the song, the fireworks went up and the lights and shadows on the stage went silent. Xin Di supported David Fan's shoulders and jumped down. David Fan protected her with one hand, and the two walked out slowly with the flow of people.
Cars moved out of the sports center parking lot at a tortoise speed and drove onto the main road, and the traffic finally became smooth.David Fan opened the car window, put one hand on the car window, and held the steering wheel with the other hand. The late summer night wind was blowing head-on. Xin Di leaned on the back of the car seat and turned his head to the window. I don’t know if it was because of the three and a half hours of excited applause. , or the physical contact and verbal teasing that caused the heartbeat to speed up, I actually felt a little tired, and various thoughts flashed in my mind for a while.
"Let's go for a midnight snack." After entering the urban area, David Fan said.
Xin Di turned her head, she was a little dazed at first, then smiled and nodded.She didn't want to eat anything, but she was glad that David Fan's opening disrupted the slightly magical atmosphere just now.From this point of view, he didn't intentionally make the mood more ambiguous, and she could breathe a sigh of relief.
(End of this chapter)
On Friday, David Fan came downstairs to Xin Di's company on time. Less than 5 minutes later, Xin Di came down, carrying a large canvas bag as usual, and got into his car. She decided to explain to him that she would see him at dinner. people, save him horror.
"My parents will be here later."
As expected, David Fan was obviously taken aback. Xin Di saw his reaction in full view, looked at him with a sarcasm and smiled, "Calm down, it's not just the two of them, Lu Fei and Xin Chen will also be there."
David Fan regretted his impatience, so he had to start the car, and at the same time laughed at himself, "There must be a reason for calling me?"
"That's right, but the reason is not as complicated and serious as you think. You just need to behave decently and participate in the conversation politely. In case my mother asks about your relationship with me, it's OK to say that we have a good impression of each other."
"What if I act more than I like you?"
Xin Di curled her lips, "Don't behave indiscriminately, cause me trouble, I won't thank you."
They walked into the private room reserved by Lu Fei. Xin Kaiming, Li Xin and Lu Fei were already sitting in it. Seeing David Fan, Xin Kaiming and Li Xin were quite surprised. Of course, this man's tall and handsome appearance was only one of the reasons. one.Xin Di gave a very general introduction: "My father, my mother, Lu Fei, you have met before. This is David Fan, my friend."
Xin Kaiming and Li Xin both looked to be in their fifties. They were dressed neatly and conservatively, and their expressions were quite serious, which contrasted sharply with Xin Di, who was wearing a hand-painted graffiti T-shirt.David Fan greeted him politely, his mind turned, and he somewhat knew why Xin Di asked him to come over for dinner.He pulled out the chair for Xindi, and then sat beside her.
"Why hasn't Chenzi come?" Xin Di asked.
Xin Kaiming said: "She called me just now, saying that her father came back suddenly and was going to have dinner with her father. I asked them to come over together."
Xin Di said happily: "Great, I haven't seen my little uncle for almost a year."
David Fan was naturally curious about the little uncle Xin Di used to compare himself with. Xin Di saw that he was very interested, and whispered: "You will see it later, and I promise you will make you feel ashamed."
"Anyway, I met my parents today, including your uncle, and it's worth being ashamed." David Fan didn't care about the blow at all, and replied in a low voice. Xin Di could only marvel at his thick skin.
Li Xin looked at them whispering in surprise, unable to make up her mind what to say.
Xin Kaiming shook his head, "Xiaochen, this kid, told me that he was going to Zongshan Mountain tomorrow, but he didn't come here today and wanted to rest early, but I stopped him. It rained more heavily in the mountain area a few days ago, and he had to catch up with mudslides, Landslides are troublesome. Xiaodi, you have to learn from Xiaochen, you just don’t like sports.”
Xin Di really doesn't like any sports. She smiled and said, "I want to drive to Tibet like her, and my mother has to be the first to rush with me."
"You don't care if I'm in a hurry now." Li Xin said angrily, "This time I went to Hong Kong, it took a few days before I remembered to call me."
When it came to Hong Kong, Xin Di and David Fan couldn't help but look at each other with ulterior motives.Xin Di quickly looked away, "The places I go to are safe and sound, just like going to work, don't worry. Ah, by the way, Mom, the company arranged for me to go to New York Fashion Week in the middle of next month. I will report in advance to save I forgot to say it when I got it."
"You just forget that you have a mother." Li Xin had no choice but to shake her head with a smile on her daughter, "You have never been to New York, anyone go with you?"
"Ah KEN departs directly from Hong Kong, I'll see where the flight ticket booked for me is going, anyway, we will meet there."
Lu Fei said: "I have to go to New York for a meeting next month, maybe we can go together when the time is confirmed."
Li Xin said happily: "That's good, that's good." She suddenly remembered that David Fan was still by her side, and thought that her daughter reiterated on the phone during the day that she had no idea about Lu Fei, and now she brought a male friend to show up, although I have to wait until I go back to torture to find out what the relationship between the two is, but it's not good to neglect him or let him misunderstand, so I smiled kindly at him: "Xiaodai, Lu Fei and Xiaodi have been classmates since childhood, and Xiaodi is sloppy. , someone will take care of you when you are on a business trip, so I can rest assured."
David Fan nodded and said yes, "Yes, Xiaodi almost lost her luggage in Hong Kong this time." At the airport, Xindi answered the phone and walked forward absent-mindedly, almost forgetting a few bags on the seat. Going up to return it to her, she only reluctantly said "thank you" impatiently.
"Did you go to Hong Kong together?" Li Xin was really surprised.
Xin Di groaned inwardly, knowing that her mother was very perceptive in some matters, but it was inconvenient to stare at David Fan as a warning. Fortunately, he didn't intend to provoke her, and replied quite well, "I'm in the advertising business, and I'll go see it too. Fashion show, and Xiaodi met in Hong Kong."
"Isn't it because we met in Hong Kong?"
David Fan said honestly: "Auntie, Xiaodi and I are alumni of the Academy of Fine Arts. We are two years older than her. We have known each other for almost ten years."
Li Xin was afraid that her daughter would randomly bring a passer-by to dinner to perfuse her, but now she couldn't help but become more interested in David Fan, and asked about his work situation, he naturally answered every question and was very serious.
Xin Kaiming chatted with Lu Fei.Lu Fei's father had been transferred to work in a southern province a few years ago. Xin Kaiming asked about the situation of the old leader and his family with concern, and Lu Fei answered them one by one.Then we talked about the development project of Haotian. Xin Kaiming is currently the leader of the Municipal Economic Commission, so he is naturally concerned about the operation of the city's major projects. Lu Fei briefly introduced the progress of the work. He told Xin Kaiming that his sister Lu Shi will represent Haotian soon. The group came to follow up the project, and at the same time specifically mentioned that the house where Xin Chen lived was also included in the demolition this time.Xin Kaiming nodded, "I'll ask Xiaochen later what his plans are. Why hasn't this kid arrived yet?"
Just as he was talking, Xin Chen opened the door and walked in, talking and laughing with a man beside him who looked less than 40 years old.After David Fan sized him up, he had to admit that it was really not insulting for Xin Di to compare him with himself.
Wearing a yellow and black striped POLO shirt, Xin Kaiyu looked surprisingly young, not at all like the father of a 25-year-old daughter.He has a chic demeanor, and his appearance is indeed worthy of the four characters of gentle and handsome.Xin Chen looks very similar to him, this kind of appearance makes the daughter's beauty a bit heroic, and it is too beautiful for a man, but with a little trace of time, it is quite mature.He greeted his elder brother and sister-in-law, but when he saw Lu Fei standing up, he was slightly taken aback. They had met before, so naturally they both had impressions, and they nodded to each other.
Xin Di has always been very close to Xin Kaiyu, so she hurriedly asked her little uncle to sit beside her, and introduced David Fan vaguely. He looked so young, and David Fan couldn't bear to call him uncle, so he just got up and shook hands with him in greeting.
"Why are you still so elusive, and you didn't tell me in advance when you came back." Xin Kaiming said unceremoniously to his brother.
Xin Kaiyu didn't care about his elder brother's reprimanding tone for decades, he just said: "I have something to do at the moment." Then he turned to Xin Di, "Dizi, this dress is very beautiful."
Xin Di laughed, her mother just whispered to her that her self-made graffiti T-shirt was a bit out of shape, "Little uncle, you are not old at all, you must teach my father how to take care of it."
"Your father is born to worry about his life, there is no way." Xin Kaiyu said lightly.
The waiter began to serve the dishes, and Xin Kaiming asked Xin Chen about his plans after the demolition.Others Xin Chen can be perfunctory, but she can only answer seriously to her uncle: "Right now the housing price is too high, I don't want to buy a house for now, maybe rent a house to live in."
Xin Kaiyu smiled and said, "You can also live in Kunming for a while." He went to the Southwest to do business a few years ago and has already bought a house there.
Xin Kaiming shook his head, "Xiaochen can go to your place to play, but he can't go around the world like you. Girls will get married anyway, and it's okay not to buy a house. When you get the demolition money, plan your investment carefully and don't spend it indiscriminately." No need to rent a house, you can move in and live with Xiaodi, just to be a companion."
Li Xin frowned, she instinctively disliked this idea, but of course it was inconvenient to say anything at this time.Xin Di didn't mind living with her cousin, but she saw Xin Chen winking at her quickly, obviously signaling to reassure her that she wouldn't live here, so she couldn't help being amused, and winked at her too.
The dishes came out one after another, Xin Chen seemed to have a good appetite today, he was not as sleepy as he was when he ate with Lu Fei last time.Lu Fei served her soup, "You like bamboo fungus soup, and this store just happens to have it."
Xin Chen said softly, "Thank you."
Of course, he knows her taste. They have eaten more than once before. Apart from the small restaurant downstairs at Xinchen’s house where Lu Fei strongly doubts its hygiene, Lu Fei also took her to famous restaurants in the city. , but found that she was far more familiar with good restaurants than he was. She didn't even need to look at the menu when ordering food.
She lowered her head to drink the soup, Li Xin looked at Lu Fei's eyes of undisguised concern, and sighed secretly, knowing that her daughter and him were probably completely impossible, and at the same time, she saw that David Fan was passing Xin Di's favorite dishes in front of her, while Xin Di focused on talking to Xin Kaiyu and ignored it.She thought that apart from the fact that this man looked so unusually handsome and behaved fairly well, she didn't know what her precious daughter was thinking.
Xin Kaiming and Li Xin were not talkative, and Lu Fei was even more silent, but Xin Di and Xin Kaiyu chatted happily. David Fan, who was left out in the cold, had nothing to say and said, "Xin Chen, the owner of this restaurant The LOGO seems to be designed by you, right?"
Xin Chen nodded. This LOGO was the first relatively large order that David Fan helped her accept more than two years ago.The price she asked for was not high, and the designs she came out were clean and beautiful, and the restaurant owner was very satisfied. Since then, she has slowly built a reputation in this industry.She pointed to the thick and beautifully bound menu next to it, "I also edited the pictures on the menu they made this year. The boss is obsessed with photography. The equipment is very professional, but the technology is too bad, and he insists on doing it himself. Shooting, can only rely on post-processing."
Seeing that David Fan actually knew Xin Chen, Li Xin was secretly vigilant, but fortunately Xin Chen didn't say anything and continued to eat.
"Lu Fei, you have to stay here until the end of the project?" Li Xin asked.
Lu Fei hesitated, "After this project is over, I plan to stay here forever."
Xin Kaiming was a little surprised. He knew about the cooperation between Haotian Group and Lu Fei's company. Generally, venture capital companies will inject funds in batches, and some people will participate in the implementation of the project, but they will not follow up the whole process. Venture capital companies only have one office in Beijing, and it is unlikely that they will set up branches locally.
Lu Fei's father, Lu Jingzhong, was his old leader. He had served as Lu Jingzhong's secretary-general for five years, and they had a deep relationship with each other. He naturally cared about Lu's family affairs.Right now, Lu Jingzhong is working as a local official in a southern province. His daughter Lu Shi is married to Su Jie, the general manager of Haotian Group.At this time, what Lu Fei said vaguely implied the meaning of leaving that company and staying in the local area for development. He remembered what his wife said to him before Lu Fei went abroad a few years ago, which he thought was ridiculous at the time. He couldn't help pondering Xin Chen's obvious concern.
Xin Chen's cell phone rang, she took it out to check the number, frowned slightly, "Yi'an, hello."
"I'm sorry, Xiaochen, I lost my composure when I drank too much that day."
Xin Chen thought for a while, and then he remembered that what he said should be the chance encounter in the bar two days ago, "It's nothing, it's the past."
"Where are you? I'm here to pick you up and have dinner together. I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Excuse me, I'm having dinner now, can I talk to you on the phone if I have anything to say?"
Feng Yi'an was silent for a while, "Forget it, I'll contact you another day, goodbye."
Xin Chen put down the phone and found that the private room suddenly became strangely quiet. Xin Kaiming, Li Xin, Xin Kaiyu and Xin Di were all looking at her. She suddenly realized that Feng Yi'an's name should not be mentioned. Sure enough, Xin Kaiming asked: " Xiao Chen, is it Xiao Feng? We broke up, why is he still pestering me?"
Xin Chen smiled, "No entanglement, we haven't seen each other for a long time, just to say hello."
Xin Kaiming obviously didn't like the saying that goodbye is still a friend, "Last time you said that he had a girlfriend again, don't talk to this kind of person too much, to save trouble."
Xin Chen nodded with a smile, Xin Kaiyu couldn't help laughing, "Chenzi is an adult, he will handle these things well, brother, don't worry about it."
Xin Kaiming glared at his younger brother, "She was your child no matter how old she was, you never remember that."
Coming out of the restaurant, Xin Di and Xin Chen walked behind, "Chenzi, come to my house tomorrow if you have nothing to do."
Xin Chen whispered: "I'm going hiking tomorrow, I have an appointment with someone."
"Didn't my dad say he was afraid of mudslides and wouldn't let you go?"
Xin Chen said with a smile: "No, the rain has stopped for two days, don't tell uncle, I'll be back in the afternoon, it's safe."
"I really don't understand, can this thing be addictive? Come back and come to me directly, I have something to tell you."
"it is good."
The next day was cloudy, the air in the mountains was fresh, and the temperature was suitable. The vertical mountain was not strong, but there was a large and steep hillside with almost no roads and thorny thorns. You have to be careful, and you will be caught by sharp thorns if you are not careful.
Xin Chen has rich experience, so naturally there is no problem, but after returning from Tibet, he started to rush to finish the work at hand, and his physical strength has not fully recovered, so he was a little short of breath and tired.They had been walking for four hours, and they were sitting and resting on the ground in a slightly flat place.
Bruce discovered three years ago that Xin Chen was almost completely silent when he was walking, and he didn't like to talk, and he obviously still maintains this habit now.He didn't mind either, and looked at the few people posing for pictures down the hillside with a mocking look, "I can't figure it out, you'd be mixed up with them."
No wonder Bruce disdained it. Today was the regular route. A few people brought their girlfriends over, but they couldn’t keep up with the progress.There is another young girl who is an employee of a foreign company. She has just started to participate in outdoor activities. She drives a small red sports car with a full set of brand-name outdoor outfits. She was quite reserved at first. After seeing Bruce today, she took the initiative to invite him to go with her in the car. At the same time, he also said euphemistically: "My car is too small, Hehuan should take another car."
Xin Chen didn't care about her little thoughts, just smiled, and got on the off-road vehicle of the activity initiator.After starting to climb the mountain, the whole team slowly opened up the distance, and they were parallel to Bruce at first, and the beautiful woman who talked to him directly in English from time to time gradually fell behind, and Bruce couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Xin Chen smiled, "People are group animals, and they have to tolerate each other. You can choose to ignore those who don't like you! You often go to forums, I thought you should have accepted their ways."
"The only reason I go there is if you are okay, otherwise I don't know what you are doing at all."
Xin Chen didn't answer his words, "Anyway, you know that there is another group of people who are even more deadly. They play games while going up the mountain. One day the fox catches the rabbit, and the next day they simply pretend to be the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, drink with hiking shoes, pretend to be so romantic People can't stand it. This time," she raised her chin, "it's not bad."
"I still insist that there should be no more than ten people on a long-distance hike. It is good to have at most two or three people for such a short-distance crossing. You are not as adventurous as before, Hehuan. Could it be that the last time you went to the Qinling Mountains left a shadow?"
Xin Chen was silent for a while, shaking his head, "Since I survived, I have no shadow, otherwise I would not travel again. It's just that after that time, I decided to cherish other people's lives, as well as my own, to go to a dangerous place It’s not a problem, but you must be fully prepared.”
"That's good, I don't want the only time we walked together to become a memory you don't want to think about, remember? We sat there like this, until the third day together, and you told me more a few words."
Three years ago, Xin Chen went to his uncle's house for dinner on weekends. He heard from Xin Di that Lu Fei called her and would return to this city for a few days on Monday. The uncle and aunt were very happy, but she just lowered her head and ate the meal. Hastily said goodbye and went home, sat in a daze for a while, turned on the computer and logged in to an outdoor forum I often go to.
She had no purpose at all, but was planning to leave the city. The first post she clicked was that an outdoor club in Xi’an was recruiting donkey friends to trek through the Qinling Taibai Mountains in the east-west direction. She didn’t look at the specific route, so she immediately followed up and signed up. up.
The next day, she called the director of the work unit to quit her job, went out to buy a ticket and things to bring, went to her uncle's house at night, said she resigned and planned to travel to Xi'an immediately.The aunt's face darkened, and the uncle said angrily, "Xiaochen, you've only been on duty for less than a month."
"I'm sorry, uncle." Xin Chen could completely ignore the aunt's displeasure, but she always felt guilty towards the uncle, otherwise she would not accept the job he arranged, but she still overestimated her own endurance.
Although she came back from looking for a job in other places, she decided to listen to her uncle's words and live a good life, but she was so bored in this class that she just wanted to escape, and Lu Fei was going back to this city again. Reason for fleeing.
Li Xin said unhappily: "Xiaochen, your job was arranged by your uncle. It's leisurely, and the benefits are good. Many students who graduated from prestigious schools are blocked from entering. How can you be so rash?"
She was speechless, and could only lower her head and remain silent. Xin Di just came back from get off work and smoothed things over: "Let Chenzi do what she wants."
"But what exactly do you want to do? Wouldn't it be to go to Xi'an with your boyfriend?" Li Xin deduced rudely.
Xin Chen did have a boyfriend in university who was from the Northwest. Xin Kaiming met the boy at school once and had a good impression of him. But a few months before graduation, Xin Chen insisted on going out to find a job alone. After a happy break up, she was not in the mood to explain, and knowing that an explanation would inevitably lead to a lesson like "Girls should respect themselves, this is the first boyfriend you broke up with", so she just bowed her head and said nothing.
Xin Kaiming was originally annoyed, but seeing her unusually silent, he softened his heart, "Xiaochen, you are too old, you can't just think about playing, you should settle down and work hard."
She only said softly: "I will be willful for the last time, uncle, I promise, I will work hard when I come back."
Yet that capriciousness had nearly cost her and Bruce's life. Bruce was used to taking risks and only saw them as a rare life experience, but she didn't see it that way.
Not far away, a donkey friend called them to go, Xin Chen jumped up, lowered his head and smiled at Bruce, "It's not good to be immersed in memories all the time."
"But you just happened to be immersed in memories." Bruce's voice was unhurried, "Of course it's not about my memories."
Xin Chen's body froze, and then he smiled wryly, "Hey, let's stop talking about this."
She put on her backpack, picked up her trekking poles and set off. Bruce could only shake his head and follow, not sure if he had been too reckless just now.Just like three years ago, the slender figure in front had a straight back, and his steps were even and steady, unlike the usual lazy gait.
After the end of the vertical mountain, as usual, we found a place for everyone to have dinner, but Xin Chen said that there was still something to do, and when the car returned to the city, she took a taxi directly to Xin Di's house.
"Why did you come here?" Xin Di opened the door for Xin Chen and complained.
"I didn't even attend their dinner, so I just ran over here." Xin Chen threw his backpack to the entrance, covered his mouth and yawned, kicked off his hiking shoes, stepped on the floor with his socks on, "I'm so tired, how about Let's go for a foot massage."
"I can't understand your self-abuse spirit. Why bother to tire yourself out like this. Not tonight, I'm going out later."
Xin Chen looked her up and down with a smile, "I said why did you dress up so beautifully today, so there is a date."
The dressing rules have always taught petite girls not to wear clothes with complicated colors and styles, but Xin Di obviously ignored this. She was wearing a dark green pleated long shirt with a dark gold belt, and the hem was tied up at one corner, revealing that she was only bigger than the shirt. The slightly longer red tutu skirt looks pleasing and conspicuous.
"David Fan asked me to go to the concert."
Xin Chen whistled with a smile, "Is he chasing you?"
Xin Di shrugged, "It seems to be, although I don't know why."
"It can only be said that he finally did one thing right." Xin Chen smiled and sat on the sofa to stretch his arms and legs. "Okay, if you have something in your heart to tell me, I will listen."
Xin Di sat next to her, glared at her, picked up the makeup mirror and paint brush on the coffee table, "Do you think I have an addiction to talking to people? Just to tell you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to buy a house, you can live here for as long as you like." Okay, I'm bored living alone."
Xin Chen put his arms around her shoulders, "Dizi, I know you are the best. After the house is demolished, I may put the computer and some materials with you, and dispose of all other things that can be sold, and then go to I will live in Kunming and Lijiang for a while, and I will go to Europe next year to see which city has more job opportunities, so I can work honestly and earn money. If you come back to the local area, of course thank you for taking me in without staying in a hotel.”
"Hey, you smell like sweat." Xin Di honestly pushed her away, and she laughed.
"Is that all? Then I'll go back and take a shower."
"You sit down for me."
Xin Di put down the makeup mirror, hesitated for a while, but didn't know where to start.Xin Chen looked back at her, their eyes met, and the corner of Xin Chen's mouth moved slightly, obviously understanding what she wanted to say, but he just smiled without saying a word.Xin Di suddenly couldn't bear her casual expression anymore, she lowered her face and said, "Don't treat me like a passerby, do you really want to leave here forever?"
Xin Chen suppressed his smile, leaned back on the sofa, and said wearily, "Dizi, I just want to go for a walk."
"Aren't you going to keep walking around from now on and never come back?"
"It depends on the situation. If you meet someone you like or a place you like, you can live there; if you think it's good to come back, I'll come back. I don't reject this city. Except for the bad weather, everything else is fine."
Xin Chen said it frankly, and Xin Di admitted that such a way of life is at least attractive to herself, but she couldn't help saying what she had been pressing in her heart for the past few days, "Lu Fei said he wanted to pursue you."
"Don't be funny, doesn't he have a girlfriend? Uncle met him on a business trip to Beijing in April this year, and when he came back, he said that they were planning to get married, and you heard that too." Xin Chen said lazily, "Based on how he treats himself He will not do such things as stepping on two boats.”
Xin Di went to Beijing to watch the fashion week more than two years ago, and had a quick meeting with Lu Fei and his girlfriend. She was a gentle and beautiful woman in her impression, "They have already broken up."
Xin Chen looked at her thoughtfully, with a slightly surprised expression, and then spread his hands, "It's a pity to make him feel sad. There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world, and he will meet a suitable girl again, but, I'm not going to be his backup."
"Do you hate him for not contacting you for so long after returning to China?"
Xin Chen was silent.
In fact, when Lu Fei left, he still came to say goodbye to her, even though they hadn't contacted for two months before that.He handed her a half-folded letterhead, "Xiaochen, I applied for an email address for you, and we will keep in touch."
She thought she had persuaded herself to accept the reality long ago, but at that moment she suddenly became furious. She took the letter paper without looking at it, tore it up a few times and threw it away with her hands. Through the scraps of paper that fell between them, She said coldly: "Are you all so keen to leave your address and email address to me? I don't want it. If you want to leave, you can go clean and thorough. You don't need to report to me that the weather is good there, I met new classmates, etc. nonsense."
Lu Fei, who was standing in front of her, turned pale, "You have to be reasonable, Xiaochen."
"I've never been unreasonable, thank you all for not wasting your time reasoning with me."
Seeing the pain in Lu Fei's eyes, she was also in pain, but the pain was pounding in her chest, and she just wanted to vent it in the most intense way.Only with a little Yu Yong from Girls' Generation, can she express her anger so arrogantly, like a wild cat, stretching out her sharp claws unscrupulously, hurting those who are willing to be hurt by her.
If it was now, even if she didn't want to contact someone anymore, she would probably take the letter politely, turn around and walk away before throwing it away.Thinking of this, she smiled slightly.
"Not only after returning to China, I haven't contacted him for seven years. All the news about him comes from you and uncle: he entered the business school of UC Berkeley, his sister got married, he graduated, he returned to China, and he He is working in Beijing, he is coming back for vacation, he has a girlfriend, and he is getting married... In this way, a lot has happened in seven years.” Xin Chen’s smile deepened, “Dizi, will you What are your thoughts on these bits and pieces?"
Xin Di thought about it seriously, and could only shake her head frankly, "I have no idea."
"Yeah, I don't think so either. I can't jump for joy when I win the lottery when I hear he's single now and has a crush on me."
"You used to like him, didn't you?"
Xin Chen said lightly: "Dizi, the three of us went to the same school before, okay? You don't need me to tell you that about half of the girls in the school have a crush on him. It's not ashamed to admit that I liked him."
Xin Di was speechless for a while, Xin Chen took the powder brush in her hand, knelt down on the sofa, carefully swept the powder on her face, then picked up the eye shadow box, looked at her clothes, and chose a little With a light golden-brown color, she began to apply eyeshadow for her.
When Xin Chen first started working, she was doing post-processing in a photography studio, where everyone had multiple jobs, and she also acted as a model and put on makeup, and she had developed quite professional makeup skills. The head let her operate on the face.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a chance to fulfill your girlhood dream?" Xin Di asked suddenly.
Xin Chen stopped her hands, Xin Di opened her eyes and saw that she was turning her face away, she seemed to be shaking with laughter, she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, "Hey, this is a bit sour, but it's the truth, don't laugh at me like that."
"I'm sorry Dizi, I didn't laugh at you." Xin Chen bit his lips, as if trying to hold back a smile, then motioned her to close her eyes, and continued to put on her eyeshadow, "Just like I liked him, he probably liked me too, According to what you said, I was quite popular with boys at that time. But that kind of liking is really fragile and can't stand wasted, and don't need me to repeat what you said, I'm not what I used to be. "
Xin Di suddenly opened her eyes, and Xin Chen in front of her still had a little smile on her face, but the two were so close, Xin Di saw her eyes were deep and dim, and those eyes were obviously unhappy, as if she suddenly lost strength Let yourself play casually.
Under her gaze, Xin Chen retreated, sat on the leg curled up on the sofa, and smiled wryly.
"My evaluation of you is purely my perverted personal aesthetic taste starting from my design career. You are still a beauty now."
Xin Chen was really amused now, "You are really kind, Dizi. No, I know, when I was self-willed and arrogant in the past, it must have been a strange attraction. Now, since I choose to be a reasonable and good person, I can only sacrifice Personal charm."
Xin Di heard this statement for the first time, and looked carefully at the cousin in front of her again. Xin Chen completely recovered her composure, accepted her scrutiny calmly, and did not evade at all, "What's the matter, Chen Zi? I'm probably an idiot in life. A little bit, but I know that if there is no accident, you will not change so completely. Did Lufei hurt you? If so, I will never forgive him. "
"No, no, he has always...disciplined himself, alas, I'm probably the only one who hurt him, so I'm very surprised why he still has the idea of pursuing me. He is a good boy just like you, so he will fall in love with you. A bit willful and not out of the ordinary bad boy." She smiled shortly, "But unfortunately, when a person grows up, he will not be as righteous and arrogant as before. I can't satisfy his interest anymore, let's not talk about him okay?"
Xin Di was a little depressed for a while, she looked up at the ceiling, and said after a while: "Chenzi, I don't know what happened between you. But it is rare to have a relationship that can last from childhood to the present. As a matter of principle, give him and yourself a chance."
"Nothing can last forever. Probably everyone is a little naive when they are young, but it's a joke to stay naive."
"Have I become a joke for my innocence? I always feel that the feelings when I was young were more sincere. When I was like this, I couldn't be moved easily when someone pursued me. When I think of dating, I only hope that it can be interesting and not boring. Well, otherwise, it would be more interesting to draw design drawings at home."
"I don't mean that. I'm just talking about myself. It's better to stay in the child's time for childish desires. Believe me, dating is the best way to kill boredom. Dating with David Fan will definitely not be boring."
Xin Di's cell phone rang, and she answered listlessly, "Well, okay, I'll be right down." Putting down the cell phone, she sat still.
Xin Chen smiled helplessly, sat up, and patted her hands, "I got the flute, go play, be happy, don't let my words affect your dating mood." She picked up the makeup tools again, and quickly helped her apply Mascara, lip gloss with a lip brush, and then powder to set the makeup, tilting your head and looking at it with satisfaction, "Okay."
"Where will the little uncle live when he comes back? After you get through, there is only one bedroom left."
"I have a sleeping bag, and I can sleep in the living room. And my dad went to meet friends after dinner yesterday, and didn't come home at all."
"You can sleep with me today, it's more comfortable than sleeping in a sleeping bag. Go to the closet to find suitable clothes, take a bubble bath quickly, put on a mask, don't rely on your good looks, it's not good at all. Maintenance. There is food in the refrigerator, and you can cook it yourself when you are hungry.”
Xin Di picked up the retro backpack on the coffee table, took a step and stopped, looked back at Xin Chen, "As long as you are happy, Chen Zi."
"It's not easy to do anything else. Fortunately, it's not difficult to find some fun." Xin Chen smiled.
David Fan was already waiting by the side of the car, and while opening the door for Xin Di, he praised sincerely: "You look beautiful today, Xin Di."
"Thank you."
David Fan started the car and drove out of the yard, followed the main road out of the urban area and onto the outer ring road to the sports center in the outskirts of the city. This road faces west, and there are very few vehicles. In the distance, the sunset is halfway down, and the clouds are dyed red by the brilliant rays of the sky.
"Why do you look unhappy?"
Xin Di said sullenly: "I'm sorry, it's not against you, but I just remembered something and suddenly felt boring."
David Fan didn't care, "Of course it's impossible for everything to be interesting, otherwise we wouldn't have to try our best to make ourselves happy."
"How do you usually coax yourself?"
"I'm easier to coax, and I don't make trouble with myself."
Xin Di snorted, "I don't need to ask, you probably have never been unhappy at all, have you?"
"If I can really be happy and heartless and live to the age of 30, I have to boast about my talent. You used me as a shield to Lu Fei last night, I was very unhappy."
Xin Di laughed, "Don't worry, I won't force you. At most, I'll find someone else to make up for it next time."
"So you still have a spare tire."
Xin Di said honestly: "Of course, if he hadn't had a convulsion and ran to the Everest base camp, which round would we get you?"
She told the truth, she and A Feng had a tacit understanding, and she had helped him resist his family's interrogation. If he was here, she would definitely ask him to come over, and she would never ask David Fan.
David Fan didn't believe it at all. He felt that Xin Di was not the kind of girl who had a ready-made boyfriend but would almost have sex with him, but he didn't intend to tell the truth, he just laughed, "Come on, I thank you and him too , gave me this opportunity to let him have fun there, and don’t have to come back in a hurry. Is it okay to just make one opinion? You have to be famous for being a shield. I hope you can tell Lu Fei directly next time that I am you Boyfriend, you don't need to introduce so vaguely."
Xin Di also smiled, "Hey, do you really want to pursue me?"
"Why don't we try to be together? I think it should be very happy."
Xin Di looked at him sideways, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face through the front windshield. The side that was plated with a little pale gold had a straight nose bridge, thick black eyebrows, and a little smile at the corner of his mouth. He was impeccably handsome.She could only admit that it was indeed pleasing to the eye, and besides other things, just looking at such a face should be a happy thing.But falling in love with him just for this reason seems a bit unreasonable.
She didn't answer his words, and picked up the concert tickets on the dashboard to look at them. She was really shocked. The two infield tickets were not very high-end, but the prices were more than a thousand yuan. "Haha It’s a money grab, last year I watched Eason Chan’s concert at Hong Kong Coliseum, and the highest ticket price was only more than 400 Hong Kong dollars.”
"The performance market in the mainland is like this. Big-name singers come less often, and performers monopolize the market. They use the excuse of high cost of performances to offer exorbitantly high ticket prices, but there are always people chasing after them. There is no way." The inside story of a business-like show.
The car got off the outer ring road and drove into the avenue leading to the sports center. The sky was getting dark and there was a sudden increase in traffic, obviously all of them were going to the concert.The police are diverting the traffic along the way, and the road in front of the sports center has already started to be blocked.
David Fan's car moved slowly with the vehicle in front, and finally drove into the parking lot of the sports center.After they parked the car, there were excited spectators everywhere, small vendors selling binoculars and gadgets for the fun shuttled back and forth, such a relaxed and lively atmosphere unconsciously infected Xin Di.David Fan bought a handful of childish fluorescent sticks and handed them to her, she took them with a smile and waved them casually.
The two entered the arena following the flow of people. The entrance to this concert was strictly controlled. Ticket holders had to go through three checkpoints for scanning and security checks before entering the arena.Finally sat down on the seat, the sky was completely dark, the stage in front of me was composed of the main stage, the extended stage, the side stage and the lifting stage. There were super-sized LED screens hanging on both sides behind the main stage, and there were large projection screens around. It is gorgeous and open, and it really took a lot of money to build it as advertised in the newspaper.
David Fan looked at the ticket in his hand that had been detected by the scanner, and suddenly smiled, "I remember when I was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts ten years ago, an out-of-date Hong Kong group came to the stadium for a concert, and we only chipped in to buy a ticket, but There were probably more than a hundred people in the arena."
"Ah, no, I went that time too." Xin Di couldn't help laughing.
The Academy of Fine Arts where the two of them studied has always had a bad reputation in the local area. In addition to their strange dress and unrestrained behavior, the students are also famous for being able to imitate everything, from concert tickets, park tickets, zoo tickets, Movie tickets, monthly train tickets and canteen meal tickets are all drawn by hand, and they are lifelike.
The buses along the Academy of Fine Arts were deeply troubled. When the conductors saw the students coming up from this station, they would pay special attention to precautions. They took the monthly tickets and looked at them again and again. The more innocent the students under the inspection, the more likely they were to use Hand-painted monthly pass.Sometimes the conductor would be annoyed, "Hey, don't tell me, this ticket is much more beautifully painted than our company's printing."
Xin Di has never used a counterfeit monthly ticket, but she is surprisingly brave. She was only a freshman, and she immediately responded when she heard the call to use fake tickets for a concert. She got back three tickets and asked Lu Fei and Xin Chen to go together go.Xin Chen was naturally happy, Lu Fei hesitated for a moment, looked at the excited Xin Chen, and promised to bring her over then.
Xin Di, you are really slow.Looking back now, she couldn't help laughing.Of course, Lu Fei played the violin since elementary school and loves classical music. How could he bother to listen to that kind of concert? If it wasn't for making Xin Chen happy, he wouldn't go.
It was a weekend in winter, Lu Fei brought Xin Chen over, and the three met in the gymnasium. Xin Di held the tickets and swaggered to let them in, and then kept talking and laughing with the students around him.Lu Fei couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Xiao Di, your classmates are very rich, so many people came to the concert."
Xin Di smiled secretly, and admitted that the ticket was a counterfeit. Lu Fei was taken aback and couldn't help shaking his head, "You guys are really..." He didn't criticize, and could see that Xin Chen's eyes were shining. He just thought it was interesting, but Xin Di Di didn't care about criticism at all, so he had to smile to let himself not spoil the scenery.
Xin Di really didn't have any psychological burden on this matter. After that, she used fake admission tickets to mix with various exhibitions more than once.
Her classmates with excess energy always put on an assembly line posture, find suitable materials, and each person is responsible for a process, earnestly imitating all kinds of meaningless and worthless bills, without any sense of guilt.Most of the students studying at the Academy of Fine Arts are from good families. In Xin Di’s view, their enthusiasm and dedication have long exceeded their face value. Perhaps everyone regards it more as a challenge to order, a collective prank and carnival active.
Thinking of such an interesting past, Xin Di turned her head, looked at David Fan and smiled knowingly.
As the low-altitude fireworks rose, Jacky Cheung in a golden coat appeared on the stage, and the sports center with a capacity of 4 people boiled instantly.Although the age is not in doubt, the strength of the God of Songs is obvious to all. The four songs and dances made the atmosphere of the scene set off a small climax.
While listening to the song, Xin Di pays attention to the stage design and costumes of the actors. This is her occupational disease.Quite a few of the audience in front of her stood up excitedly. She was small, so her line of sight was naturally blocked, so she couldn't think about it.
The audience at the back first yelled "Sit down in front", but there was not much response after repeated yells. The high temperature in summer and the local people's fiery temper flared up, and two audience members scuffled not far from their seats. People also joined the battle group, and the audience area was in chaos.
David Fan was born in track and field, and his movements were very agile. Before Xin Di could react, he blocked a flying mineral water bottle with one hand, picked her up with the other hand, stepped over the fallen seat, and retreated to the isolation pier. Only then did he let her go.
Xin Di looked at the dark and chaotic audience area in shock, "We can fight like this."
"Don't worry, the security is tight today, and they will be cleaned up in a while." David Fan watched the fighting scene with great interest, and seemed to find it more interesting than the singing god on the stage.
Sure enough, a team of police and security rushed in immediately, quickly subdued the few people who were fighting vigorously, and lifted up the seats. The people who came in rushed to occupy the seats.
David Fan shook his head with a smile, and saw that Jacky Cheung, who was on tiptoe and started to sing "Snow Wolf Lake" in the stands, had exquisite costumes as a backing dancer, and she must have wanted to see it very much. Get up and sit on a high isolation pier.Xin Di was so frightened that she tightly grasped his shoulders with her hands, fearing that it would slip off, but she immediately realized that she could see much more clearly than the seat just now, and her eyes were facing the stage unobstructed, so she couldn't help being very excited , Many men next to him also followed suit and put their girlfriends on the isolation pier.
David Fan stood beside her, wrapped her arms around her waist, and supported her with her body, while her hands were wrapped around his shoulders, and her body leaned against him.Xin Di didn't dare to bow her head, so she could only keep looking forward.The entire audience was singing familiar songs one after another. Under such a warm atmosphere, there seemed to be no ambiguity, but the bodies of the two were pressed together, and the posture was extremely intimate.
After a song was almost finished, Jacky Cheung stopped and stood on the stage. Through the LED, he could clearly see the sweat on the forehead of this 40-year-old man. He then began to sing "She Comes to My Concert":
……
I sang her intoxicated
I sang her heart breaking
She tries not to look tired
The years are listening to us singing no regrets
Sing to the applause until I shed tears
Hey……
Xin Di had never been a fan of Jacky Cheung before. At this time, the audience was quiet, no one sang wildly, no one waved light sticks, only this song was left floating in the sports center, and all the audience listened attentively. was deeply touched.
Such a highly refined emotional journey, such a sentiment and tacit understanding of the growth of the singer and the audience, all seem to be integrated in this song. Cheers.
Xin Di looked back and found that David Fan was staring at her with a smile, and seemed to say something, but in such a noisy environment, how could he hear it clearly.Just as she was about to bend down, he suddenly hugged her down, leaned close to her ear and repeated: "We also went to the concert together ten years ago, although it was with another hundred classmates, I hope that from now on, we will always I have the opportunity to accompany you to the concert."
His lips touched her ears, and his breath was blowing hotly against her ears, causing a little tingling feeling, which spread.He put her back on the isolation pier again, still looking at her with a smile, the spotlight swept across the field, his upturned face was full of spirits.
Xin Di was dazzled for a moment, she thought, is this the legendary flirting?If he did it, it was really exciting, and he could make his old heart beat like a young girl in Huaichun in an instant.
She looked back at the stage, and it was time for her return. Jacky Cheung, who had changed his clothes, re-entered the stage and began to sing highly popular songs. The audience of [-] people sang in unison, and the atmosphere reached its peak.At the end of the song, the fireworks went up and the lights and shadows on the stage went silent. Xin Di supported David Fan's shoulders and jumped down. David Fan protected her with one hand, and the two walked out slowly with the flow of people.
Cars moved out of the sports center parking lot at a tortoise speed and drove onto the main road, and the traffic finally became smooth.David Fan opened the car window, put one hand on the car window, and held the steering wheel with the other hand. The late summer night wind was blowing head-on. Xin Di leaned on the back of the car seat and turned his head to the window. I don’t know if it was because of the three and a half hours of excited applause. , or the physical contact and verbal teasing that caused the heartbeat to speed up, I actually felt a little tired, and various thoughts flashed in my mind for a while.
"Let's go for a midnight snack." After entering the urban area, David Fan said.
Xin Di turned her head, she was a little dazed at first, then smiled and nodded.She didn't want to eat anything, but she was glad that David Fan's opening disrupted the slightly magical atmosphere just now.From this point of view, he didn't intentionally make the mood more ambiguous, and she could breathe a sigh of relief.
