When Cao Aiqing opened the door and entered the box, the man was feasting regardless of his appearance.
When he heard the girl coming in, he raised his head and said with a smile:
"Sit down, my brother is pretty good at ordering. Don't tell me, it tastes pretty good. Don't waste it."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to dig up the rice again. Cao Aiqing sat down with a puzzled expression and was silent for a few seconds. During this period, he only heard the rustling sound from He Tianran's mouth.
Watching He Tianran eat really makes him very appetizing. This was one of the most profound impressions that Cao Aiqing had when he was with him in the past.
"Are you hungry or happy?" she couldn't help but ask.
He Tianran wiped his nose and kept talking. After chewing and swallowing, he said:
"I was hungry. I didn't eat at noon. I went back to the dormitory and took a nap before going to Uncle Cao's open class. After you finished your work, I went back to the library and continued my work. In the evening, I was called out by someone from the student union. Before I even had two mouthfuls of food, I saw my brother trying to lure me into a trap. I was just busy competing with him in a battle of wits and courage, and by the end I was so hungry."
While he was eating, he seemed to be talking about daily trivial matters, and all the panic and panic that happened in these understatements were passed by. It seemed that whether he confessed the past of failure or was kicked by someone, Well, whether it's settling the brothers' grudges, none of these are as important as filling their stomachs.
He Tianran's calm chatter and unabashed expression of affection gave Cao Aiqing an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind.
While talking, He Tianran served himself another bowl of rice, and then asked:
"Did my brother bump into you when he went out just now?"
Cao Aiqing shook his head: "No."
"That's good."
"Are you afraid that he will find out and take revenge on me?"
"Absolutely, you have to be careful. And I hope he never knows why I broke through his scheme today."
He Tianran originally wanted to say that now that the seeds of suspicion have been planted, He Yuanchong would not let Xia Qiao, who harmed you, have a good fruit to eat, but this was inevitably a bit insidious, so he stopped in time and thought After a while, the dust has settled, and then I will tell her Xia Qiao's ending.
"You can rest assured that he doesn't know I'm here. The box next to you is empty and I can hear your conversation clearly. I saw something was wrong, so I kept hiding in it."
After saying this, Cao Aiqing thought for a moment and added: "However, when Guo Huai came out, I went out to meet him... He asked me to say sorry to you."
He Tianran paused while picking up the vegetables, but then he became more natural again, squeezed out a smile and said:
"Why didn't he tell me himself?"
"That's what I told him..." Cao Aiqing broke the seal on a set of clean tableware, filled himself a bowl of fish soup, put it aside to dry, and continued: "But will you still see him? "
"Why not? The group of friends I made in the film school are gone. Now Xiaoyong and I have just met, and our relationship is not yet in place. And in school, although everyone knows me as He Tianran, But they are all casual acquaintances..."
He Tianran followed Cao Aiqing's example and served himself a bowl of fish soup, but he soaked it directly in the rice.
The milky white and fragrant fish soup combined with the plump rice is really appetizing.
He Tianran lowered his head, the sizzling sound in his mouth became louder, he stopped eating, and continued in a vague manner:
"And Ai Qing, don't forget, whether it's my future memory or this time memory, Guo Huai is one of my few friends. If you do the math, I spend more time with him than you and Wen Liang." It takes a long time to put it all together. I punched Lao Guo, and now he kicked me, so it’s even. So, how could he disappear..."
Cao Aiqing looked at him struggling to eat, and she understood what the man wanted to express under this cover-up.
Even in that bad future, when He Tianran was at his lowest, he still had friends by his side.
And now, as the people and things of the past three years have disappeared, it is really hard to tell who has experienced a worse experience, the him now or the him in the future...
Why did he do this?
Maybe, I still don’t want to end up with no one around me...
"It seems that you still have some humanity..."
Cao Aiqing sighed silently, and He Tianran lowered his head as if turning a deaf ear, but the chewing stopped briefly.
Both of them were quiet for a while. After Cao Aiqing patiently waited for He Tianran to finish eating, he finally asked:
"What do you say about me?"
He Tianran wiped his mouth and began to review the context of the whole incident. He said seriously:
"After today, there will no longer be rumors about you on the forum. He Yuanchong is the mastermind of this rumor-mongering incident, but he did not directly do it. There are his accomplices in the student union, who are mainly responsible for those who spread rumors on the forum. The content that opened the door to falsely accuse you was provided by Xia Qiao. She is most likely the leader of the navy.
The cause of this incident should be the change in my personality in recent months, which made He Yuanchong very fearful. Not long ago, I went fishing with my dad, which can be regarded as the trigger of this incident.
My family situation is very complicated, as you know, He Yuanchong is not my father's son, and his growth is almost the opposite of mine. Since my father and my stepmother got together, he has been missing something in his heart since he was a child. The role of father was completed, and a family that was more happy than imagined gradually became a reality. And I, who had always been competing with his father, but had more blood ties than him, became an eyesore in the family. burden.
It would have been okay if I had maintained my previous introverted personality and was always suppressed by him, but I am obviously not like this now. My father saw me personally during that trip, and I could see that he was very jealous and had a sense of crisis. , and it just so happened that not long ago, the forum posted about our quarrel in the lead washing pool, and it just so happened that a friend of his knew Xia Qiao and knew about you in high school, so he wanted to make a fuss about it and attract me. Making mistakes will lower my father's opinion of me. "
"He hurt me to make you make mistakes? What mistakes will you make?" Cao Aiqing frowned.
"Don't think about this from the perspective of a time traveler. Think about it, what was our relationship before we time travel? He Yuanchong knows that I like you. Once something like this happens to you, I will definitely be the first I will stand up for you and fight against the navy. As long as I get off the stage, there are many things he can do. For example, if he thinks of this method now, he can trick Guo Huai into thinking that I am directing and acting to please you. Whether I want to take revenge on you, or I can pretend to be a protector of flowers, by then the water army will have a unified voice.
At that time, public opinion will turn me into a rich second generation with bad character. He will tell my dad that it is like yellow mud falling off my crotch. Even if it does not break my muscles and bones, it will still be a dull knife cutting my flesh. , little by little my dad was disappointed in me. "
Regarding this point, He Tianran has already made it a big deal, because Wen Liang's prank could cause him so much mental damage. It is conceivable that if He Yuanchong's prank comes true, then The blow to yourself will only become more serious!
More than friends, not enough lovers.
This is the original relationship between the two in this timeline.
However, Cao Aiqing seemed to be aware of this. The look in her eyes at He Tianran became somewhat meaningful, and she said slowly:
"You are really... ill-fated."
He Tianran avoided her sight and touched his nose
"Hey, we are each other... It's just that my younger brother didn't expect that it would be a bit of a joke for both of us if it happened again. Originally, I met the people from the student union this time just to find out what happened on the forum. How did the people spreading rumors on the Internet sneak in? I knew that Sun Qianzhi from the External Relations Department was related to his arrangement, but I didn't expect that you happened to catch up with this scene of mantis hunting cicadas. It was probably Xie Yanyan who told him about our After the incident, he was too impatient and had bad luck."
"What if I didn't tell you that he was there?"
"Then he won't succeed."
"Why?"
He Tianran had mixed feelings: "Because the human heart is a variable. One person can be won over and provoked by another person through mediation, but when it reaches the deepest level, there is always something persistent. Isn't Guo Huai the best proof? ?The privileged life has made my brother take other people too lightly."
"...It seems that as an elder brother, you still need to be one step ahead."
"Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Where did you get your glasses?"
"I got it from my brother. This guy is not short-sighted. This thing is just a decoration. How about it? Is it okay for me to wear it?"
After finishing everything, He Tianran was in a rare and cheerful mood.
Unexpectedly, Cao Aiqing really looked at it carefully for a few seconds and said:
"It's quite suitable. He looks like a beast in clothes, a gentle scum."
"...Okay! Starting today, these glasses will be welded to the bridge of my nose!"
After saying that, the two of them fell silent in tacit agreement. They looked at each other for a few seconds and both smiled.
Seeing Cao Aiqing's rare long-lost smile on his face, He Tianran thought about it in his mind and finally said slowly:
"The matter has been resolved... After my father has finished dealing with my brother in two days, I will inform you of the result..."
"Um."
"I...I will also open a post on the forum after I go back to denounce those who spread rumors and restore your innocence."
"good."
"Then...I...can..."
He Tianran took a deep breath.
"Can I meet 'her'?"
The smile on Cao Aiqing's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal.
The girl stood up. He Tianran knew that she was leaving, so he stood up too.
Unexpectedly, the other party gestured towards the bowl of fish soup on the table and said coldly: "Drink that bowl of soup, it was left for you by 'she'."
He Tianran was in a trance and looked at the bowl of fish soup with just the right temperature.
Just when he came to his senses, Cao Aiqing had already walked to the door. She opened the door and left a sentence:
"This Saturday at noon, Canteen 17, School of Architecture."
When Saosao was writing, she always had a paranoid habit or concept in her heart, that is, if the eating scene is not well written, then other things will not be very good in writing. After all, eating is the most straightforward thing for people. It is also the most restrained expression of desire.
