There is no longer the technology of the past, nor the ambition to get a high score to clear the level with one coin, nor the caution to save the time of playing around with game coins and stealing lessons.
However, the two still had a lot of fun. After all, they sat side by side, holding the waist stick in their hands. The familiar pictures, familiar operations, and familiar feeling had a unique smell of e-liquid that belonged to this space.
In the end, it took the two of them more than a dozen game coins to complete the level, which took more than an hour.
The soft snowflakes are falling. The dry cold when there is no snow during the day is replaced by the windless snow falling at this moment. The temperature is not that cold. Walking on the street, the thin layer of snowflakes on the ground under your feet makes a crunching sound. Tang Cen walked downstairs to his grandparents' house, turned around, and smiled at Wei Tao: "Don't expect me to attend your wedding, and don't expect me to come back and be your personal bodyguard..."
Wei Tao stepped forward and hugged her, without any gestures from the past. Even though she was no longer the tomboy she was before, and her heroic demeanor turned into a lot of tenderness, which had a special flavor. Wei Tao could not help but occasionally treat her the same way as before. The follower Tang Cen treated her like a follower, rubbing her head, giving her a kick, and blowing her brains out, not only in private, but also in front of outsiders, without any regard for whether the other party wanted to save face.
For example, when I was playing a game just now, I couldn't control my words (swear words appeared inadvertently or were mixed with ordinary words). One was full of health and the other was empty. As a result, a large health replenishing item was used without consuming a single blood. Tang Cen ate it, and Wei Tao couldn't afford to spend the game currency. It was an attitude towards playing the game. Everyone was fighting for blood. He couldn't grab it. It came out of his mouth, and it wasn't a curse, just a way to vent his emotions.
Who would not care about a beautiful woman?
Between Wei Tao and Tang Cen, there is none.
The hug now is an idol drama type of hug, which can be said to have never happened to the two of them.
Tang Cen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. She deliberately refused to cooperate: "Okay, okay, don't do this, I'm disgusted."
"Shit!" Wei Tao cursed and let go: "Go away, I won't leave for a few days. Why don't you make an appointment for a skiing trip to see how you are doing?"
Tang Cen chuckled: "Fancy."
Wei Tao: "Why don't we arrange an indiscriminate fight?"
Tang Cen smiled broadly and raised his hand directly. Wei Tao followed suit and the two high-fived and made an agreement.
"It's settled, Mr. Wei, find a hospital and reserve a bed for yourself for half a month."
Tang Cen turned around and went upstairs. In the old-fashioned seven-story building, the windows on the first and a half floors were blocked by the debris from various houses.
At the half-staircase window on the second floor, Tang Cen saw Wei Tao standing downstairs. He did not leave. In the end, he gave himself a scene from an idol drama.
"Mad, how about grabbing it?"
Tang Cen looked down at herself, raised her hand to touch her short hair, and then touched her cheek. The calluses on her palms made her sigh: "Forget it."
After entering the house, there were people watching TV, playing mahjong, and chatting about the Chinese New Year. The house was small and there were many people. It would be nice to have a seat to sit while waiting for the Spring Festival Gala.
The Chinese New Year is such a lively time.
After saying hello, the relatives at home are still enthusiastic. Not to mention Tang Cen's own achievements now, the relatives at home are directly or indirectly taken care of by the Anshun Group. Everyone knows that not only the Anshun Group, but also the Liu Lei family business, treats Relatives of the Tang family are also open to convenience.
At the same time, I encountered something in Songjiang and couldn't find Tang Cen, so I went directly to Wei Tao. I couldn't find Mr. Wei. If someone took the record, Wei Tao would call back and help deal with it as soon as possible.
There are some things that are tacitly understood. In such an era, who is qualified to judge what is right or wrong? Only parents can feel sorry for their daughter from the bottom of their hearts. Among the remaining relatives, they hope that this relationship will be stronger from the bottom of their hearts. Most of them, but Tang Cen himself, need to sit in the back row.
A younger brother made way for a corner of the sofa, and Tang Cen sat on it.
I took out my mobile phone, thought about it, and sent a message to Cao Xiyu: "Happy New Year!"
Soon, Cao Xiyu replied with a message: "Tell me, we will go out on a date soon. Is this reliable?"
The corner of Tang Cen's mouth raised slightly. Some feelings may not go back, but they will not really fade away. He was once a "heart-to-heart" best friend. For a man, the answer to whether it is worth it or not is worth it. I didn't think about going to investigate, but when I actually sent a message and started chatting, some feelings came back easily.
"What about him?"
"Do you think he would just go out to spend the New Year with you?"
"What about that? I'll go to the traffic jam with you?"
"I think it's unrealistic for me to bring a man home, but if I bring a woman, no one in the parents-in-law's family downstairs will find it strange, don't you think?"
"Well!"
"What the hell are you doing? If that's what you like, why are you still resisting me?"
"If you play like this, you won't be afraid of him exploding."
"I'll go, you really think I'm going to come with you, right?"
Tang Cen laughed out loud. He waved his hands to the family members who were looking at her, indicating that everyone should ignore her and focus on chatting on the phone: "Why are you looking for me if you don't come?"
"Okay, whoever doesn't come will be the grandson."
"I will pick you up."
"My grandpa's house is at the back door of the sanatorium."
"You know, isn't that how a couple hook up?"
"Yeah, I'm very stupid. I even set myself on fire. I asked someone for someone's phone number. I also wanted to find a good friend. Who knows? As the saying goes, guard against fire, guard against theft, guard against best friends. I failed so much. ."
"Get lost. Wait."
A happy new year at the beginning, just four words, is difficult to type and send.
But after that, women and women will chat with each other in crazy explosions at a speed that men can't imagine.
Private chats between best friends really dare to talk about anything. Close friends will hardly talk about private matters at home, especially family life with wives and girlfriends. It is different between best friends. You can’t Imagine how in-depth they will talk, how many tiger and wolf words they will use, and even some little boudoir secrets that only belong to the couple will no longer be secrets in the end.
………………
Lu Jiang drove, with Han Tiesheng sitting in the passenger seat, and sent Wei Tao to a bungalow on the outskirts of the city.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back and eat dumplings after work." Wei Tao didn't say that you would go home for the New Year. That seemed too pretentious.
"No, I'll go back for the New Year's Eve dinner in shifts in the afternoon, and in the evening I'll just play mahjong and watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Wei Tao didn't say anything else, sent a message and got out of the car.
The construction speed of the city is very fast. According to this pace, this area will be relocated in less than a few years. In Wei Tao's memory, it seems that it was about this time.
Red lanterns were hung high, and the inside and outside of the courtyard were very clean. Wei Tao knew that the adjacent courtyard had also been bought by Guan Jinyue. When she came back to live, the two female bodyguards who followed her would live in the adjacent courtyard.
A thin layer of snowflakes covered the ground in the courtyard. Guan Jinyue was wearing a coat and opened the door to Wei Tao.
"I went to see him just now. You arranged it very well. Thank you."
"How's it going? He's doing fine."
There is no decoration in the house, it is still the same as before, but there is nothing wrong with the cleanliness. The stove is very warm. The kitchen and dining room are also the living room that is not a living room. It is still a cement floor with many cracks and should have been repaired long ago. , but for Guan Jinyue, these traces are the traces of home that she recognizes.
He lowered his head and knelt down to change Wei Tao's shoes, and replied: "My life was very comfortable. There was a woman outside, from the village. My husband came back once or twice a year to work abroad, and they hooked up. I had some money in my pocket and spent it all on that woman.”
Wei Tao stood up with a smile and put on his cotton slippers to enter the gift room. Melons, pears, and dried fruits were already placed on the kang table. On the folding table on the ground, there were several side dishes that Wei Tao liked to eat.
"No debt?"
Guan Jinyue shook her head: "No, it's all about spending as much as you have."
Wei Tao: "It seems that Comrade Guan Dajun is quite smart. Starting from this year, the 'monthly salary' will increase a bit."
Guan Jinyue nodded: "That's fine."
Wei Tao: "When the time comes, someone will get him medical insurance and get employee medical insurance."
Guan Jinyue's topic did not stop at Guan Dajun's matter. She placed the warm white wine in the hot water teapot on the kang table. The Spring Festival Gala also started on TV, and the steamed pork in the pot was the only hot dish. Bring it up, two wine glasses, two people, have a drink to celebrate the New Year.
Guan Jinyue will not ask you if it is okay to come out at this time, let alone Cao Xiyu. When the two met in the afternoon, there was enthusiasm, greetings, and normal communication. They both knew that everyone next to them was secretly watching the two of them. , for that performance, they owe them two Best Actress trophies at the Oscars.
Even though I knew they couldn't have a good relationship, I still couldn't see what was wrong between the two of them.
They are like acquaintances and friends, but the two of them will not have any individual communication or contact. During the entire New Year's Eve dinner, there will be no individual eye contact.
In private, neither of them mentioned each other, let alone anything that had anything to do with each other. Outsiders felt that they were deceiving themselves, but in fact they both knew in their hearts that the war was far from over. The battle is just beginning now, and even getting married is just a stage of victory, far from the level of celebration.
Cao Xiyu does yoga, fitness and beauty every day, and has been working tirelessly to improve herself. Why? Once a woman’s paranoia and winning mentality come out, and then merge with her feelings, she will definitely destroy the world but also protect herself. of strength.
No matter how busy Guan Jinyue is, she has never slacked off for her own improvement. Even if she sleeps less than two hours, she must allow herself to accept both physical and mental improvement. She insists on a little bit every day, and accumulates over many years, and finally produces results that can be seen with her eyes. Qualitative change.
Any man, facing such a situation, should feel proud and satisfied. These two excellent women are constantly becoming better for you.
Little did they know, in the eyes of the two of them, they are still moving forward in a pace of catching up to this day, and they don’t have much confidence that my pace of catching up can equal his pace of progress.
One is a junior high school classmate, and the other has lived under the same roof for a year. They have experienced Wei Tao's life from being a transparent child to practicing as a street vendor.
Unlike people like Big Baby and Damimi, they have only seen his glory. From the moment they met, he was a strong and successful person.
Guan Jinyue and Cao Xiyu are different from everyone else. Seeing Wei Tao's rise little by little, the changes in their bodies from the inside out are still clearly visible every once in a while, even if they are together day and night.
Not to mention career success.
Not to mention the increased status in society as a boss.
There is no mention of improvements in experience such as emotional quotient, IQ, and sophistication.
Not to mention the deterioration of the aura caused by changes in status.
The single point is his appearance.
The facial features are given by your parents and cannot be changed without plastic surgery. However, with the increase of growth and experience, the contents of the eyes have changed. After body shaping, the facial muscles have changed and become more sharp-edged.
From ordinary to excellent, everyone still thinks that your face is still yours and is familiar, but they just feel that it has become more handsome and more elegant.
This is still not enough. Wei Tao devotes most of his energy to his career and keeps pace with all aspects. The remaining time is given to playing. He also knows that he will exercise when he has time, but where can he have time? Besides, there are so many people who insist on exercising, and how many of them have better results than him?
As the people next to me, they know very well what muscles are, what sculpted lines are, and what a figure is like a sculpture cast out of copper and cast iron.
Who doesn't want to meet a better version of themselves in the future? Cao Xiyu and Guan Jinyue are both under pressure due to such changes. This pressure also makes them less likely to fight among themselves and to let Wei Tao see famous scenes. , only when one day I am strong enough, will I teach you a lesson and let you know that owning me is equivalent to owning the whole world.
Guan Jinyue feels more deeply than Cao Xiyu. Now she has no intention to fight with Cao Xiyu. In terms of career, she is such a proud person, but Wei Tao's successful operation has made her go back to study again. She once was admitted to university. Before, it was full of worship, but now this worship has not diminished, and there is even more of ordinary people's worship of powerful individuals.
The previous worship was a kind of psychological attachment worship where I regard your life as my life. The worship now is the worship I want to catch up with.
The two watched the Spring Festival Gala, drank some wine, and had pictures and sounds of the Spring Festival Gala. They chatted about whether they liked the show or not. Like many old couples, each other is each other's companion in life, and they spend the New Year together. Now, drink some wine and chat for a while. There is no need for anything earth-shattering. Life is like a clear water. In fact, that is the happiest state of life.
At ten o'clock, when the sound of fireworks and firecrackers started to sound frequently outside, Guan Jinyue cleared the Kang table and prepared clothes and shoes for Wei Tao to put on.
Some words don't need to be said at all. After putting on her clothes and shoes, Guan Jinyue picked up the four gift bags placed in the corner, put on her coat, and followed Wei Tao out of the yard.
Two bottles of wine, five cartons of cigarettes, and two gift bags of the same size count as one portion, one for each of Lu Jiang and Han Tiesheng.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lu Jiang blocked Han Tiesheng's voice of thanks and thanked him first. He usually called him Mr. Guan, but today's change brought a smile to Guan Jinyue's face.
Han Tiesheng quickly took it with both hands and expressed his gratitude. After getting in the car, Wei Tao joked with them: "Old Han, have you seen it? Let's see who dares to say that Da Jiang is a fool in the future. He has a clear mind."
Han Tiesheng nodded: "Well, this guy wears the skin of a fool, but there is a lot of ghosts inside."
Lu Jiang rolled his eyes. Look at him and Zhu Xichun. They are both older and younger. They both want to be each other's ancestors. But he didn't dare to face Han Tiesheng. He had people tidy them up twice before asking his master, Lao He. Lao He told him directly that people like Han Tiesheng would never be able to return to ordinary life if it were not for special reasons. If he were three or five years younger and could touch the tail of peak physical condition, he would be in his early thirties. He is definitely capable of doing great things on his own. There is no nonsense title called King of Soldiers in the army, because no one obeys anyone. But when it comes to Han Tiesheng, a small group of people who are given similar titles, they are will be recognized.
When the two of them were in the security company, Lu Jiang and Zhu Xichun had trained a lot. Tang Cen also taught them, and Lao He also taught them. They were more or less confident in their hearts and felt that they were pretty good.
Ten times, I simulated ten scenarios, including sleeping in a security company for one night, shopping in a downtown area, waiting in a room, similar scenarios, ten times, using lipstick as a weapon, and sometimes I would die no matter what. I don’t know. I only saw a mark on my neck. Sometimes I felt a touch on my throat, and then I realized that I had been KO again. I finally surrendered, completely surrendered.
Thanks to Big Brother, people don’t pay attention to him at all.
In other words, after getting along for a long time, Han Tiesheng also recognized Wei Tao's personality, and some principles were not as insistent as in the past. This change came after seeing who the boss was, not after being grateful.
His attitude towards Lu Jiang has also changed. After all, the two of them get along day and night. They even spend more time together than his wife in private. If they are really cold, the other party will feel uncomfortable, and he will feel even worse. This is why Han Tiesheng only has a good relationship like he did just now. Only the casual attitude shown.
The courtyard of No. 1 Anshun Street has become lively. Cars have been cleared and no one is allowed to park in the courtyard. Today, there are a lot of fireworks displayed here.
Han Tiesheng went home and picked up his wife and children to watch the fireworks feast.
Security and family members all came out to help. Hundreds of thousands of fireworks were set off from the ground to the sixth floor platform. It was not to make up for the quantity, but to let everyone have fun. The children could run around in the yard, with all kinds of fireworks on the ground. Children seem to like fireworks more than the big ones. Some of them are lit with long incense sticks, which gives them a sense of accomplishment.
Wei Tao didn't join in the fun. He returned to the room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and looked at the numerous New Year greeting messages on his phone. It wasn't that he was rude, but he really couldn't reply to them all. Some of them were group messages. Short messages can even make people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Happy New Year!"
The short message was so ordinary that it could be ignored. It was sent two hours ago. Wei Tao thought for a while and replied to the message on the familiar full touch screen buttons. This year, VX will be released. Wait until the 4G network is ready. Spread out, from text messages to penguins, it will completely disappear from the stage of history.
"Happy New Year to you too."
After holding it in for a long time, he didn't know what to reply, so he replied with these few words in a very cliché way.
The text message that came back almost instantly showed that the name in the address book was Yan Xiyu: "No, it took me a long time to reply. What, if we can't be a couple, are we not friends?"
At the top of the stairs, a little head poked out. He was the child of his second uncle's sister. He saw that the door of Wei Tao's master bedroom was open, and he could see him sitting on the chair from that position. Their eyes met: "Uncle, they asked Can you set off the fireworks as you like?"
Wei Tao smiled and waved. Although eight or nine-year-old children are annoying to dogs, children of this age are the most interesting in an environment where they don't get along for a long time.
"Come on, Xiaona."
The little girl was dressed beautifully and ran over. Wei Tao picked her up, stood up, and walked to the storage room in the master bedroom. There were many snacks in it.
"Here, be careful, don't let your mother find out. Remember to rinse your mouth after eating, and brush your teeth well before going to bed at night. Can you do that?"
Not only the price, but also the packaging and overall physical shape of a box of chocolate candies were very lethal to children. The child could not help but nod his head with longing eyes. In the end, Wei Tao helped her open the box. , put the candies in the inner and outer pockets respectively.
"Play as you like, tell your brothers and sisters to pay attention to safety." Xiaona ran away with a piece she had just finished eating in her mouth. The fragrant feeling on her lips and teeth made her no longer interested in fireworks and firecrackers. She just wanted to find a corner and secretly He destroyed the candies given to him by his uncle.
Wei Tao took his cell phone and replied to Yan Xiyu: "They can be friends, but I am a person with an extremely happy career and life. I live a very happy life. My mind is full of warm and thoughtful things. Facing you, I can't do it." Arrived."
Yan Xiyu sent an emoticon composed of a bunch of text message symbols: "What should I do? I am also in a happy life with a good life and career. I can't help it when I face eight-pack abs."
Wei Tao rolled his eyes, this woman was starting to behave badly.
"You know that I can let you see me early tomorrow morning, but so what? You dare, but I don't dare."
There was another sound of thumping up the stairs. Wei Tao glanced at the message Yan Xiyu replied: "Coward."
Xiaona ran up with a group of children, with those longing eyes, how could Wei Tao not know, just by looking at Xiaona's aggrieved expression, he knew that she couldn't keep her little secret.
Each person was given a copy. At this time, some adults had discovered it. They all knew Wei Tao's seventh floor. Even though they didn't say anything, they all knew they couldn't come up casually. Don't talk about seniority or brother and sister status. In some matters, The big flag is the big flag, and everyone in the family must give him a special respect.
Wei Tao smiled and told everyone not to worry about it. There was no shameful secret on the seventh floor. It was just that everyone felt that the young couple were together and sometimes didn't like to be disturbed, so they automatically chose not to bother anyone if nothing happened. If anything happened, they would rather make a phone call. , will not go from the sixth floor to the seventh floor.
"Uncle, uncle, let me tell you a secret." Xiaona broke away from her mother's hand and ran to Wei Tao's side. After being picked up by him, she leaned close to his ear. She acted like a little adult and knew everything. , whispered.
"Well, you say."
Wei Tao squinted his eyes and smiled. Being with children will make you look younger.
"My aunt brought back a good-looking man, and she even hugged him..."
PS: Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world!
