First, put the time back to two hours ago.
After He Tianran came down from Chuanling Mountain, he was dragged back to the first place of Nanshan by Wang Ma and Uncle Hu. He originally refused, but he had no choice but to resist the strong pull of the older generation. Considering that Wang Ma had a bad heart, he did not dare It was too disobedient, so I could only go back and rest for two days.
During this period, Wang Ma helped him pack some clothes that he had never taken away from home, and even secretly hid a sum of money for him in the pocket of a coat. If He Tianran hadn't bumped into it by chance, it would have been all gone when he found out. Winter is coming in a few months.
"Wang Ma, you don't have to do this. I can work to support myself now."
"How can you work if your hand is broken? Besides, you are still a student! The most important thing is to study!"
"Oh, I don't need so much just because I'm a student. A thousand yuan a month is enough. I still have tens of thousands of yuan left over from what you gave me last time."
Seeing that He Tianran refused, the housekeeper who regarded him as her biological son stamped her feet angrily. She grabbed He Tianran's hand, and the two of them sat on the edge of the bed and said seriously:
"Oh, Xiao Tianran, this society is very realistic. If a man has no money, he has no clothes, and he has no confidence in what he says or does! And you are also old, and you are about to fall in love, so you can't be tied up just because of this, right? You and me I won’t talk about Xiao Cao’s matter. I’m getting angry just talking about it. Take the little girl who came to see you last time to learn opera as an example. If you really see each other in the future, You are not allowed to spend some money on others?
My child, don’t think Mother Wang’s words are unpleasant. I’ve been there and I know very well that the more beautiful a girl is, the better she is at cheating men out of money. Your one thousand yuan a month is probably not worth what others spend in a day. Let’s take a step back and consider that others are kind-hearted, but if you go on a date with others to have dinner or go out to play together, why don’t you spend more?
Therefore, it is not good for this person to be beautiful. Even if others do not lie to you and love you sincerely, if you don’t spend the money, will you be able to feel at ease? "
This kind of "wisdom of the elders" is meaningless once it is mentioned, and it is often difficult to refute. He Tianran pursed his lips with a wry smile. Although he doesn't have much money now, with the money he has now, he I definitely won't take it. It's not easy for Wang Ma to work for her family for so many years. How can there be any reason to ask others to pay for it?
But if the rejection is too direct, it will inevitably hurt the elder's feelings. He Tianran's eyes rolled and he smiled:
"Wang Ma, do you think you're looking down on me? I'm so handsome, why do I need to pay for a date? But what you said makes sense, Wang Ma, you have to help me check it out, now give me the money Isn't it harming me? To tell you the truth, I am indeed afraid of being put in a long-term relationship with a girl. Please let me find out the truth first. If I really can't make it in life, I will contact you again. Then I will have confidence in my heart. No? Anyway, I can’t be fooled much by others now.”
He Tianran would never say these self-praising witticisms in front of outsiders. He would only dare to tease Wang Ma like this to the whole family.
"You kid, oh, you know you can be cheated, right? Money is a trivial matter, it's mainly about feelings!" Wang Ma was amused by He Tianran, thinking that it would be different if this kid fell in love. He was trying to coax people, but he still said disgustingly: "Xiao Tianran, why have you become so naughty this year? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you are a serious young man, you can't keep saying these things, it seems careless, not serious Sutra, do you know?"
"Okay, okay, I got it, I got it."
Brother Tianran agreed, and took advantage of the situation to find a few more topics. Wang Ma had no choice but to follow him, and the money matter was diverted without realizing it.
When it was time to leave, the driver, Uncle Hu, originally planned to drive He Tianran back to school. During this period, he happened to see Xie Yanyan driving He Yuanchong's BMW X5 back, saying that she was here to help her unlucky brother pick up things. Everyone was going to college anyway. City, just go back together without bothering Uncle Hu.
In this way, He Tianran put away his luggage, and after Xie Yanyan finished getting her things, she sat in the passenger seat of the BMW.
Not long after, the car was driving between rows of high-rise buildings in the city. He Tianran glanced sideways and saw that Xie Yanyan was wearing sexy clothes today. Her hair was dyed with big golden waves. She wore a black suspender on her upper body and a miniskirt on her lower body, which matched her outfit today. The European-style makeup is really typical of the overseas-returned celebrities on social platforms.
is it beautiful? She is beautiful, but her image is in place, but her temperament is far-fetched. It is probably because she is not yet young, so she is inevitably trying to imitate a tiger.
Looking at the beautiful face, He Tianran frowned for a moment. A pale face swollen by sea water flashed in his mind, and he felt a little dizzy for a moment.
Why will she die in the future?
He Tianran couldn't remember the reason. Just like the old monk said, the forgotten part of the memory about his family must be related to the realization of his long-cherished wish, but why would this involve an insignificant person?
At this moment, Xie Yanyan was also very nervous. When she saw this brother twice, she was frightened by his violent attacks. She had an extremely bad impression of him in her heart. In addition, He Tianran had not been in Nanshan Jiadi for a long time. In the past, she and He Yuanchong came to the house for dinner, but neither of them met him, so they subconsciously thought that he had a bad personality, a bad temper, and was very awkward to get along with.
Now that he was staring at her so directly, Xie Yanyan was so frightened that she looked for something to say while driving the car, and said to He Tianran:
"That...Brother Tianran...there is Coke in the armrest box of the car. If you are thirsty, you can drink it."
"...Ah, no need, Yanyan, you don't have class today?"
He Tianran suppressed the miserable images in his mind, turned his head, and changed the topic.
"Yes...I...overslept. Yuan Chong called me at noon and I didn't get up until..."
Xie Yanyan was a little embarrassed by the question.
Her family is also in a group of villas in the first place of Nanshan. Her father is engaged in foreign trade and is a real wealthy daughter. When she was a child, she and He Tianran must have met several times, but later he was sent abroad by his father, so it was really No impression at all.
"Are you all at HKU?" He Tianran asked again.
Xie Yanyan became even more embarrassed and said, "No...no, I did poorly in the college entrance examination and am now studying international business at Hong Kong University."
He Yuanchong was studying finance at the University of Hong Kong and He Tianran knew that. He Panshan had hoped that the two brothers would go together, but in the end, who told He Tianran to rebel and study art? As for the Hong Kong Nuo in Xie Yanyan's mouth, the full name is Hong Kong The average annual admission score of the University of Nottingham is around 580. It may not be comparable to the first-tier 211,985 universities, but this school is actually not bad. It is a Sino-foreign cooperative school, with all classes taught in English, and the academic system is 2+2. The first two years were in Hong Kong City, and the next two years were in Nottingham, England.
Eighty percent of the people who study in this school will go abroad in the future, and they are generally not poor. After all, the tuition does not include living expenses, and the annual tuition is 100,000, and it will double after going abroad. As for the teaching staff It must be abundant. The money is right here, and there is no difference.
He Tianran said with a smile: "You don't live in a dormitory? You run home to live there. It costs a little more than one to drive back every day, right?"
This sentence may have touched upon Xie Yanyan's current troubles, and she opened up the chatterbox:
"Yeah, I've been struggling with this recently. I can't get used to living in the school dormitory. I originally wanted to rent an apartment with Yuan Chong near the university town, so that it would be more convenient for us to meet. But he has to live in the dormitory, and I don't know when. There's nothing better about being crowded together individually. He's been a bit loose recently. Brother Tianran, please help me persuade him when you have time!"
"Ah, um..."
"By the way, Brother Tianran, when I look at the house, do you want me to look at it for you? Some apartments around the university town are very cheap. A 200-square-meter house only costs 10,000 yuan a month. They are well-decorated. You can still do it when you have time. Invite your friends to have a party together or something."
"...Really? I'm not in a hurry, you can take a look first."
He Tianran hesitated, knowing better than to ask.
"oh."
Xie Yanyan shut her mouth. After all, He Tianran's family was much richer than hers, and everyone of the same age was in the same circle. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, nor did she doubt He Tianran's financial strength. , I can only say that the other party is not interested, and I am asking for trouble.
After driving all the way to the university town, after finding a place to park the car in a nearby commercial street, Xie Yanyan suggested whether we should have a meal together. He Tianran was thinking about her future and thought it would be better to take this opportunity to get to know each other, so So I agreed.
The two got out of the car, and He Tianran dragged his luggage from the underground garage to the commercial street. There was a huge crowd in front of him, and his ears were filled with excitement. The young people were playing around, and the music coming from the shops on the street was overhead. , the sun gradually becomes scorching.
The reality and vividness of life rushed towards his face, like an invisible stream that passed through He Tianran's body and rushed away endlessly.
Is this world really fake?
"Brother Tianran, why don't you leave? Let me help you drag your luggage!"
Next to him, Xie Yanyan's slightly confused voice woke up He Tianran, who was hesitant for a while. He came back to his senses and shook his head.
"No, let's go."
He Tianran's expression became a little depressed. He and Xie Yanyan were walking on the street. The left hand holding the trolley box was slightly harder. The fingernails that were originally separated due to oppression and grief were now intact.
This made him sigh in his heart, in that meeting on Chuanling Mountain, he didn't know whether Zhuang Zhou was dreaming of butterflies or Zhuang Zhou was dreaming of butterflies.
"Brother Tianran, do you have anything you want to eat? I know there is a steakhouse with good steaks. If your hands are weak, I will ask the waiter to cut the steak for you in advance. You can just use a fork with one hand."
Xie Yanyan suggested.
He Tianran pondered for a moment, and said unknowingly: "I know there is a private kitchen with pretty good food... We..." But before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Xie Yanyan waiting for him to make a decision, and immediately He smiled bitterly and changed his mind: "Forget it, let's just eat steak. You're right, it's more convenient."
"Um!"
The two walked some distance again, and fourteen universities in the university town crowded together. It became very lively at noon or at night. There were all kinds of things to eat and play around. It seemed to be the most energetic and youthful place in the entire port city. The two of them had walked less than three hundred meters when they were stopped by a group of students who looked like students.
The leader of the team is a girl. He could be seen from a distance. After all, the battle-scarred skin on his right hand with a plaster bandage is really eye-catching. The girl is holding a small microphone in her hand, and the boy behind her is holding a mobile phone gimbal. Bianpidian followed behind.
"Classmates, we are college students starting a self-media business. Can we accept a street interview?"
He Tianran was about to refuse, but the girl opposite put a small microphone in his mouth, making it very formal. There was also a small KT board affixed to the microphone with the words "Classmate, please stay" printed on it. LOGO words.
"Are you a couple?"
"..."
This kind of street interview is quite popular on short video platforms. Anyway, it is more entertainment-oriented and the questions asked are all kinds of. And college students dare to say anything, so the click-through rate is often pretty good. If the questions are hot, the interviewees If the creators also follow the path, it might even become a hit.
The boy in charge of taking pictures at the back moved a few steps back and framed He Tianran and Xie Yanyan on the mobile phone screen.
This couple looks pretty good.
The girl in charge of the interview thought so.
Generally, this kind of street interview involves interviews with good-looking interviewees, and it is easier to become popular. After all, people like to watch this, and the theme they prepared today is still around "college love", so this kind of interview is popular among people. The men and women who are together are the focus of their attention.
He Tianran was a little bit dumbfounded. Xie Yanyan obviously didn't like this kind of sudden interruption. The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"no."
The two were about to leave when the girl in charge of the interview had already asked the next question.
"Wait a moment, classmates, are you single?"
"no."
This time Xie Yanyan flipped her hair and answered first. Such pressure instantly came to He Tianran, who was still stunned.
What was he going to say?
He said something~
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
He Tianran's silent expression was faithfully recorded by the mobile phone camera. The photographer knew how to edit this scene in the later stage. When he went back, he made a black and white head special effect for He Tianran, and then matched it with the BGM of fluttering snowflakes in "One Cut Plum" , the image of a humble, pathetic person licking a dog jumped out.
And his hands are broken, so convincing!
"So little brother, do you have someone you like?" the interviewing girl asked again.
He Tianran learned this. He really knew what these street interviewers wanted. If the answer was yes, the camera would turn to Xie Yanyan, and her status as a licking dog would be confirmed.
If the answer is no, in the later subtitles, write the words "pretending to be strong" next to it, and you can instantly make yourself look like you are in love but can't get it.
In short, in the end, it will all be blamed on Xie Yanyan. Why did the two of them walk together just now? Anyway, it is how to attract attention. As for the explanation, it can be cut out later.
What is this called? This is called entertaining yourself to death!
In fact, the way to deal with it at this time is also very simple. If they just want a more exciting and catchy answer, then give it to them.
He Tianran is a professional after all, so he must not be timid at this time. He deliberately paused in his throat, his expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously:
"Miss, do you have a partner? If not, I think we are quite suitable~"
Come on, have fun until you die, die together and that's it.
The girl who was interviewing felt a buzz in her head, and her expression suddenly lost control. Seeing that He Tianran, who had always been irritable, still had such a side, Xie Yanyan couldn't help laughing, while the photographer held a gimbal. His hands were shaking slightly from suppressing laughter.
"If you think it's appropriate, just keep asking. If you don't think about it, then we'll leave."
Okay, just a joke, now that other people have material, I am not at a loss, and my originally heavy mood has improved a lot, let’s let it go.
However, as soon as He Tianran took a step forward, he heard a female voice coming from behind:
"Hey, isn't this Director He? Although his hands were beaten and broken! But his charm is still intact~~~"
Damn it!
After hearing this sentence, He Tianran's scalp suddenly exploded, and his back immediately lost consciousness. His neck became stiff and he turned his head numbly...
Wen Liang was standing nearby, arms folded, with a smile that revealed murderous intent that even Zang could not hide. Sheng Qidong, who was following her, also had a look of shared hatred and bared her teeth at He Tianran.
It seems that they have been listening to the interview just now, and they don’t know how long they have been following...
Ah...it's over...
He Tianran sighed silently, lowered his head and covered his face with his left hand...
The girl in charge of the interview looked around. When she came into contact with Wen Liang's cold eyes, her head shrank and she choked back her idea of exchanging WeChat messages with He Tianran...
Although this kind of development is also very good and can "use power for personal gain" and so on, the current situation is obviously more exciting...
