Happy?
To be honest, a little bit.
He Tianran does not deny that the sensory stimulation brought about by high consumption, the restless music, the youthful body, the pleasure and wantonness brought by alcohol numbing the nerves, as Xue Yong said, can be bought with real money. The happiness is also happiness, and it is enough to make people addicted.
Looking at the drunken and crazy state of his best friend and his friends, He Tianran suddenly felt a sense of alienation. At the same time, he also knew very well that the Xue Yong who once studied hard was real, and the one who lay on the ring after boxing with him It is true to talk about the ideal Xue Yong, and it is even more true to talk about the second-generation rich Xue Yong who is extremely extravagant and lustful.
Because the two were close friends, He Tianran was lucky enough to see so many sides of him.
But Bai Tingting will definitely not like this side of Xue Yong.
According to the gossip around him, the set of drinks Xue Yong ordered cost 78,888, not counting what they drank before. Based on He Tianran’s current weekly salary from his part-time job, it would take him a year and a half to play like this once. High consumption.
Thinking of his current situation and comparing the two, He Tianran was really filled with emotion.
However, there was no element of envy or jealousy in these emotions. Even when he was in the center of the hustle and bustle, he did not feel the slightest discomfort or confusion.
Don't forget, He Tianran was born in a wealthy family. He had seen scenes even more extravagant than this countless times. But he was still young at the time, so even though he couldn't understand many things, he had already become accustomed to them.
Faced with some people he met for the first time, but who had already become brothers with him, to clink glasses with him, He Tianran kept smiling. He accepted everyone who came and did not make Xue Yong feel any embarrassment.
The biggest difference between children who grow up in ordinary families and those who are blessed with rich clothes and good food is that here, it is not as simple as how much money can be spent at once, but how to know what to do in an environment. How to relax and adapt and solve your own problems.
This involves all aspects and cannot be summarized simply by EQ and IQ. He Tianran had a very bad life because he was autistic before. Now that he has become cheerful, this experience has gradually emerged.
Xue Yong had a glass of wine on the left and a glass of wine on the right, having a great time. Maybe most people who saw it could only defend Bai Tingting, denounce Xue Yong's debauchery, or join in and have fun together.
But He Tianran really understands Xue Yong's feeling of depression and hesitation, because he has been through it all, and the truth can be explained in just one sentence -
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
If He Tianran had not been born in the He family, or if he had not experienced the independent life he now has, then he would not be as calm as he is now.
After drinking two glasses of wine together, He Tianran said to Nao Nao next to him: "Go and book a booth for me, just a little further away."
Nao Nao blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that this place was so big, and the handsome guy in front of him couldn't accommodate it.
However, she would not turn away any door-to-door business, and seeing that all the gentlemen here treated him respectfully, it was not obvious that he was the central figure in this group of people.
He Tianran raised his glass and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, a friend of mine is coming over later. Lao Xue and I will go to accompany her first. When it's almost done, I'll come over and drink with you."
The young men were also very good at reading the situation, and they all raised their glasses to let everyone go. After drinking, they shouted that there was no need for Brother Tianran to come over, and that they would take the ladies with them after you finished chatting.
He Tianran picked up two bottles of wine and walked towards the booth that was open. Xue Yong followed and asked:
"Who else did you call over?"
He Tianran glanced at him sideways, "I also called Bai Tingting, do you believe it?"
Xue Yong was happy, "Don't make trouble, she will never come to a place like this." After saying that, his expression darkened, and he asked not very confidently: "Really?"
"Fake."
"Hey, my heart is lifted."
Even though the booth in the nightclub was remote, the surroundings were very noisy. After He Tianran sat down, he sent the booth number to Wen Liang, who never arrived. Xue Yong sat opposite him.
"You can't tell, Brother Xiaoyong, you usually have a lot of pocket money, but you can order 80,000 yuan worth of wine on the fly."
He Tianran put down his phone and joked.
"Isn't my dad happy to see me go to college? He directly transferred 100,000 to my card and let me spend it as I please."
"A bottle of this wine only costs 3,000 in Yanjiao Alley, and no one is drinking it yet."
He Tianran looked at the wine bottle, and Xue Yong said carelessly:
"It's impressive, and the venue is different. Your bar and your band together can't have such a battle... Who did you call later?"
"Never mind, you'll know when we get there."
"Hey~ You are still playing mystery with me, Director He, you didn't invite some young ladies who are studying acting to come over, right? Oh, you eat so much, you really can't tell~"
Xue Yong rubbed his hands. He was speaking unambiguously now, but his mind was not yet clear. He Tianran was too lazy to pay attention to him. He picked up the wine glass and asked directly:
"Brother Xiaoyong, I have three questions about you and Bai Tingting. After you answer them, whether you want me to play with you or let me leave immediately, I will never disappoint you, and we are still friends. Why? Sample?"
"Oh, I knew you wouldn't let me go..."
Xue Yong seemed to be acting like a spoiler, lying on the sofa and twisting around. After a few seconds, he violently pulled out his hair a few times, suddenly picked up the wine glass, touched the full glass with He Tianran, and the two of them drank it in one gulp. He uttered one word very decisively:
"ask!"
"Do you still need to talk about your relationship with Bai Tingting?"
"..."
This first question made Xue Yong hesitate. He hesitated for a while and said:
"This is not a matter of whether we should talk about it, this is... annoying! Of course, doesn't Cao Aiqing usually care about you? And... I have been with her for three months, you know, I used to fall in love, It hasn’t lasted more than three months, and my progress has completely lagged behind, and she has to control everything. Even when I have a drink with my friends, or when I spend money, she scolds me on the phone for a long time. Brother, I’m really holding it back. Sorry..."
"What kind of family do you belong to, and what kind of family do others belong to? Your one drink cost me a year's salary. If I were your girlfriend, I would just say goodbye. Why should I waste my time on you? And what do you mean by progress?"
Xue Yong was stunned and said in disbelief:
"Let's sleep together! What's the point?"
"..."
He Tianran was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Xue Yong to give such a straightforward answer. This was considered a major point of conflict between him and Bai Tingting.
Seeing his reaction, Xue Yong was also dumbfounded. He paused and said:
"Ahem...you...you and Ai Qing...don't you usually...don't you have any ideas? Didn't...didn't you give some guidance in this regard?"
"What am I..."
He Tianran was about to have an attack when a charming voice suddenly came from beside him:
"Handsome guy, I think I heard you guys chatting about some interesting topics."
At this time, Nao Nao came over. She sat down naturally, took He Tianran's arm and said in a coquettish tone:
"It's so boring over there, but it's more fun to be with you~"
Nao Nao's whole body was attached to He Tianran, and Xue Yong spread his hands in laughter, as if to say——
Look, what a simple thing.
But he smiled and gradually realized that something was wrong. Xue Yong's pupils gradually dilated because he saw a long-lost figure slowly walking behind He Tianran...
"So sister, how do you want to play with him?"
He Tianran was originally pressed against Nao Nao, and his mouth was a little dry, but when he heard these words, his whole body went numb instantly, and he felt that his soul was holding the thought of escaping quickly, slowly coming out of his mouth. Seeped out...
He turned his head stiffly and saw Wen Liang standing next to him with a smile as bright as a flower, pretending to be careful about the fuss on the sofa.
"Can I trouble you and send me along later?"
I wish all brothers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~! !
