Chapter 941: Growing up (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"Want to get in the car?" Su Xiaoqiang got into his Mercedes-Benz S-Class and asked Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi, "I wonder if the rain will be heavy. Can I take you there?"
"No, no, let's go with senior brother." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and declined Su Xiaoqiang's kindness.
After saying "Oh" and saying "See you later", Su Xiaoqiang slid the car door, and the black Mercedes-Benz S-Class merged into the bustling traffic.
"Senior brother, where is your car parked?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang.
"I... didn't drive." Chu Zihang paused, "I took a taxi from home."
"..." Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang, and the two of them stared at each other, "I suddenly feel a little sorry for Su Xiaoqiang. Let's stroll slowly to the Tianhai Hotel later. Based on my understanding of her, she will probably laugh at her. We are idiots."
"There's a bit of traffic in front of the school. It's not easy to stop traffic here." Chu Zihang looked at the road that was not smooth.
"Let's go, let's go, it's not too far anyway, let's walk there." Lu Mingfei opened an umbrella and covered Hui Liyi's body. "Fortunately, my aunt warned me that it would rain when I went out. When I passed the newsstand, I bought an umbrella.”
Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi had not taken more than two steps, and turned around to see Chu Zihang still standing there, with nothing in his hands.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at the size of the umbrella... It was a bit difficult for both of them to cover it. This was because he and Eli Yi were both quite thin, but if Chu Zihang was added... it wouldn't be as good as three. Personally, it’s refreshing to walk naked in the rain.
"I'm used to being in the rain. Otherwise, senior brother, are you and Eri Yi fighting?" As soon as Lu Mingfei said the words, he immediately noticed something was wrong and wanted to slap him.
Chu Zihang and Hui Liyi hold an umbrella. What is that scene? It is simply against human ethics. Isn’t it just that you and Xia Mi have been betrayed? How unbecoming is that!
"..." Chu Zihang didn't understand Lu Mingfei's mind. He pointed to a small shop not far away, "I'm going to buy an umbrella. See if you can stop the car. If you can, get on. If you can’t stop the car, just walk.”
After saying that, Chu Zihang walked away quickly, seeming to find the atmosphere a bit awkward.
"I'm an idiot again, alas." Lu Mingfei sighed, "When can I get rid of this problem of sometimes being too talkative?"
"That pretty girl just now likes Sakura." Eriki beside her suddenly said this out of the blue.
"Ah? Are you talking about Su Xiaoqiang?" Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head, as if he didn't expect that Eriyi would suddenly mention this, "Right, but that was in high school. Those thoughts in high school It’s so confusing that no one can explain it.”
"No." Eriki corrected, "She still likes Sakura now."
Lu Mingfei looked at Hui Liyi, and then he noticed that when Hui Liyi first said that Su Xiaoqiang liked him, he said "she likes you" instead of "does she like you" or "does she like you"... ...is a statement rather than a question.
Eliyi was sure from the beginning that Su Xiaoqiang liked Lu Mingfei. She has always been very sensitive to emotions, and now she also understands what liking means... Does one person like another person? , she could see it with her eyes.
"I don't like her." Lu Mingfei said for the first time, "We had a good relationship in high school, because I think the little goddess has a straightforward personality and is very loyal. She is one of the few who can play with boys but has a bad personality. Girl... no tea means that you don't know how to play tricks. Su Xiaoqiang drank too much at the high school graduation party, which actually revealed her feelings a little bit, but I never accepted it. From the beginning to the end, I only regarded her as a relationship. Not a bad friend.”
This is the first time Lu Mingfei has seen Eliyi care so much about a girl... maybe he cares?
Because I have never seen Eri Yi take the initiative to mention a girl in this tone. Lu Mingfei is a bit stupid in this regard, but no matter how stupid he is, he should know that he must show a minimum attitude. Eri Yi is a girl who lacks a sense of security. , Lu Mingfei didn't know if Eli Yi was also insecure, but he knew that Eli Yi was very possessive...especially towards him.
Lu Mingfei had no reason not to be satisfied with this kind of love and child-like possessiveness.
"If Eryi feels unhappy, let's not go to today's banquet." Lu Mingfei smiled at Eryi, "I will make it clear to Su Xiaoqiang, I will apologize to her, and I will try my best to Don’t contact me?”
"Why?" Eriyi asked.
"Ah...why?" Lu Mingfei scratched his cheek, "Why didn't you go to the banquet? Or why didn't you contact me? Or why did you apologize before not contacting me? Because after all, we are old classmates, and others said bad things about me before. I even helped me when I was there, but I feel like it’s a bit rude to suddenly ignore someone without explaining clearly..."
"No." Eriki shook her head, "Does Sakura think I'm angry?"
"Aren't you angry, or... are you jealous?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively, "Eliyi is always a little jealous, right? You see other beautiful girls who have a good relationship with me, but Su Xiaoqiang has such a carefree personality. I know you today After that, she paid attention."
"No." Eriki shook her head again, "I'm not jealous."
"Really?" Lu Mingfei asked in disbelief, "Not at all?"
"Not at all." Eriki winked at Lu Mingfei, "Someone likes Sakura, I won't be jealous."
"ah?"
Lu Mingfei was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what Eri meant. If he put himself in her shoes, he would be more or less jealous if someone liked Eri for several years. It was impossible for him to not care at all. But Eri said she wasn't jealous at all. She was obviously a girl with such a strong possessiveness.
"Everyone likes Sakura, which means Sakura is a good person. I think Sakura is great." Eri said in a very serious tone, "I can see that others like Sakura, and I can also see that Sakura doesn't like others. Sakura treats me differently from others, so there is no need to stop contacting her. Sakura can continue to be friends with her."
Lu Mingfei was stunned because Eri's words were completely unexpected... Yes, why didn't he think of it? Eri knew what it meant to like someone and could see a person's emotions clearly. She could see that Su Xiaoqiang liked him, so how could she not understand his feelings?
But Lu Mingfei didn't expect that Eri would take the initiative to say that she could be friends with a girl who liked her. Obviously, she just knew what love was, and obviously she was so cautious and cat-like... Lu Mingfei finally understood at this moment that as long as Eri correctly understood the world, this girl would undoubtedly have an extremely great personality.
"Then Su Xiaoqiang invited you to drink, do you think she was provoking you?" Lu Mingfei said.
"No." Eri shook her head, "The girl is very beautiful, she has no bad intentions towards people, and I want to make friends with her."
"My Eri is too sensible." Lu Mingfei smiled, suddenly leaned towards Eri, and kissed her on the forehead, "It doesn't matter if others like me or Eri, I only like Eri, now and in the future."
People passing by would more or less look at this eye-catching couple, because they were not far from the school gate, and there were many students from Shilan Middle School among them. They also recognized Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei could even hear some of the children's exaggerated exclamations.
"Oh, oh, oh! Senior Lu Mingfei is so brave, you dare to kiss at the school gate!"
"She has graduated and is an honorary alumnus. Do you think she is still a student like us!"
"But is that Senior Lu's girlfriend? She is too beautiful, isn't she? How can someone's life be so perfect? She is definitely a winner in life!"
For these voices, Lu Mingfei has been immune, or even slightly satisfied his not-too-inflated vanity... What's so vain about being a school celebrity? What's so vain about donating money to the school? Marrying a wife like Eri is the life of happiness!
Little guys, learn from this!
Lu Mingfei didn't kiss for too long, not because he was afraid of bad influence...He took his mouth away from Eri's smooth forehead, and he and Eri shifted their eyes to see Chu Zihang standing not far away, with his head slightly tilted but couldn't help but look at the two of them with his peripheral vision.
"Did I bother you?" Chu Zihang said apologetically, "You can pretend I'm not here, I'll wait."
"Brother, sometimes if you say less, the atmosphere won't be so awkward." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, "What are you waiting for? We're waiting for you, let's go!"
Chu Zihang opened a black umbrella, and the three of them joined the crowd along the street that Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were very familiar with.
The rain was not heavy, but it was not the kind of mist-like fine rain in Jiangnan, but red bean-sized raindrops, hitting the roof of the car, making a "crackling" sound. Pedestrians on the road held up umbrellas, and the streets of the city were blooming with colorful umbrellas, like mushrooms growing in the rain. Some umbrellas were crowded with two or three people, and the eaves and small shops on the street were also crowded with people hiding from the rain.
Many people went out in the morning and looked at the weather forecast saying it would be sunny, so they didn't bring an umbrella. Who knew that the weather would change so suddenly? The weather in this city is very strange, but the people living in this city seem to have gotten used to it, and no one thinks that such an abnormal climate is worth making a fuss about.
"Su Xiaoqiang is studying at Fudan University, but something happened in her family. Her father is seriously ill and has been discharged from the hospital, so she inherited the family business while she was studying." While walking on the road, Chu Zihang introduced Lu Mingfei to the recent situation of his old classmate, "My mother told me these things in an email, and I should have heard it from my father. Su Xiaoqiang often runs between school and company because she is not familiar with the two cities. I heard that she is hesitating whether to drop out of school."
"There is such a thing." Lu Mingfei was also surprised. He sighed and said, "It turns out that after graduation, everyone's life is not easy, even for people like Xiao Tiannv."
Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of a sentence, people don't know when they will grow up, and personality changes are often subtle, but growing up may only take one night, or a moment.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiang's status today, Lu Mingfei felt that except for the big changes in her dressing and style, her personality was exactly the same as in high school. She could not see any changes. She was still the proud little girl, always optimistic and positive... I didn't expect that she was actually holding on. It turned out that growing up was to put on a mask of "I am still the same me before" on your face, not letting anyone see the fragility and cowardice in your heart.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little sorry for her... It was not because of the love between a man and a woman, but because he felt that he had been ignoring other people's messages for so long, was it a bit too much?
"Zhao Menghua did not inherit the family business. He studied at Tsinghua University and is now a department manager at an Internet company in the CBD area." Chu Zihang continued to talk to Lu Mingfei, "Of course, his parents also helped him with connections, otherwise an intern would never be able to get the position of department manager. However, Zhao Menghua's personal ability is not bad, and their company has great development prospects."
"This kid is doing well." Lu Mingfei nodded and asked Chu Zihang, "Did your father tell you this?"
"No, Su Xiaoqiang told me." Chu Zihang said, "Before you came."
"Wow , Isn't Zhao Menghua sitting next to you?" Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up, "She is indeed a little goddess, she doesn't even talk behind people's backs, just say it to their faces!"
"But Zhao Menghua also has troubles. I heard that he often has nightmares, and he is trapped in a maze-like subway with flying monsters that suck people's blood." Chu Zihang said, "So he joined Catholicism. He is quite devout in his faith now, and his relationship with Chen Wenwen after marriage is also harmonious."
"Did Su Xiaoqiang hire paparazzi or private detectives? How can she find out so much about other people's affairs?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh that girls' gossip talents are all awesome.
"It seems that Chen Wenwen posted it in her dynamics, and she often shares her recent life." Chu Zihang said.
"Oh, no wonder." Lu Mingfei nodded, "Chen Wenwen is just like that."
Shilan Middle School is not far from the place where Su Xiaoqiang invited guests. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang walked slowly, and it was raining, so they walked for about ten minutes. The content of their conversation along the way was about high school and the current situation of their classmates. They did not mention Chu Zihang's missing father and Senior Brother Ye Sheng at all. It seemed that both of them had forgotten why they went out today. It was really just to attend an ordinary classmate banquet.
The sign of Tianhai Hotel was hung high on a nine-story building. This hotel was the most impressive one in these streets. In short, according to the uncle, you can occasionally come to such a high-end place to invite a few people to dinner. If you invite a group of people to dinner here, it is not worthwhile. His year-end bonus for the whole year will be lost.
Many people came in and out of the door of the restaurant. Before entering, you can hear the lively and noisy voices in the hall.
