When he woke up, Li Tang stretched out and glanced to the side. Unfortunately, it was empty.
Yesterday, he took Gao Yuanyuan to have a meal at a remote boat house. The food tasted good, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
When two people interact, when the window paper has not been broken, everyone is usually very casual and natural, but once the window paper is broken, there will be all kinds of unnaturalness.
Gao Yuanyuan was very shy, and it was obvious that she had to muster up the courage to say some words, while Li Tang avoided them whenever he could, and always looked at him. In the end, no one wanted to speak, and the atmosphere became subtly awkward.
Now that she's so beautiful, it's definitely impossible for you to say that Li Tang won't be tempted. But there is always a certain bottom line in life. After all, Gao Yuanyuan's career has just started, so it is best for everyone to keep a certain distance from each other.
Once something happens, I'm afraid you can't take it back.
On the way back, Gao Yuanyuan still hugged him very tightly, and her body was also very close, but the joy when she came had long since disappeared.
The senses of the body cannot be deceived. Li Tang admitted that he had feelings for Gao Yuanyuan, just like the time he drove Zeng Jia to the airport on his motorcycle last year. The impact was very strong.
When he sent Gao Yuanyuan to the door of the hotel and put her down, he even expected Gao Yuanyuan to ask him to go sit in the room upstairs. At that time, he did see Gao Yuanyuan's hesitant look when she took off her helmet and handed it to him, but he couldn't. When Gao Yuanyuan finally summoned up the courage to say: "Brother Li, you..."
But he quickly interrupted: "You come up quickly, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he got on his motorcycle and fled.
Again, it's one thing to have a feeling and think about it, but another thing to do it or not. If you meet a beautiful person and have feelings for her and want to fall in love with her, wouldn’t she become a teddy?
There are rules beyond human nature.
Of course, the "three good friends" around him are enough to keep him busy, or he feels that he and Gao Yuanyuan are not at that point emotionally at least.
People always have various dissatisfactions, just like when a person doesn't have enough to eat, he always thinks that simple meals are good. When you are full and want to eat something better, it is best to combine meat and vegetables to create a richer variety.
Although the three "good friends" around him have already allowed him to taste different flavors, deep down in his heart he can't help but want to try some varieties that are fresher, or have more visual and sensory impact.
So much so that on the return journey, which was less than two kilometers, he wanted to turn around and go back several times. Until I woke up in the morning, I still felt a deep sense of loss in my heart.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.
In his previous life, he was a prostitute who was always very excited when he took off his pants, but when he put on his pants, he always felt very boring and had no nostalgia.
Now he is not satisfied with simple release, but also looks forward to the union of spirit and body.
In a word: the heat is not yet there.
After doing some psychological construction, or self-comfort, Li Tang jumped up from the bed.
Although according to his actual age, he is already thirty years old during the Chinese New Year, he is only a little over twenty-eight years old. He is still a young man, so he is naturally full of vitality.
After washing, I put on sports shorts and a short-sleeved sweatshirt, did a full warm-up and stretching, and went out for a run. Come out of the gate of the community, follow Wuyuan Road to Wukang Road, then Huashan Road, pass by your alma mater, then go back to Wuyuan Road along Changde Road. The whole journey is about five kilometers, which is his regular morning jog route.
After running, I returned to the small park on the edge of the community. In order to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole country has launched a nationwide fitness campaign. As an international metropolis, Shanghai has responded positively. The most obvious thing is that many fitness facilities have been installed in the small park next to the community. It's less than seven o'clock, and there are many people exercising in the small park.
"Xiao Li, you're back!"
"Xiao Li, let's practice kung fu again!"
The people who exercise in the small park are basically neighbors in the same community. Li Tang has lived here for almost ten years. He used to dance with guns and sticks in the small park, and everyone is familiar with it.
Many of the people who live in this area are people working in literary and artistic institutions, civil servants at a certain level, university professors and other people with decent jobs. Most of the people who usually exercise in the small park have retired. Now that you are retired, you have plenty of time and a generous pension, so you pay more attention to exercise and health care.
"Good morning, Teacher Wang!"
"Professor Li, you are here too!"
Li Tang also greeted everyone one by one, then found an open space and did a set of Tai Chi.
There were many people watching, not only for the star effect, but also for watching the fun.
In the past, when Li Tang was playing with a big gun in a small park, there were many people watching, and he had long been used to it.
After finishing a set of Tai Chi, some people actually clapped and applauded.
"Xiao Li, this set of Tai Chi seems to be different from what we practice, right?"
Before Li Tang could say anything, someone immediately said: "You're kidding, Xiao Li is practicing real kung fu, but this is just for physical exercise. It's so easy to do both!"
"That is to say, Xiao Li is awesome. Oh, I saw Wola on TV, and Zhang Yimou's movie "Hero". Xiao Li had a wonderful fight with Li Lien, who filmed "Shaolin Temple"? Is it all true? effort!"
Some people are touting it, while others are still unconvinced, saying angrily: "Are you making a movie? It's all fake..."
Before the man finished speaking, someone immediately retorted: "It's nonsense. Let's try it. Xiao Li and Li Lianjie are definitely real Kung Fu. Li Lian Lian is also called the 'Kung Fu Emperor'. Do you know how to defeat him?"
"That is to say, Xiao Li here will also be a 'Kung Fu Emperor' in the future, and he will go to the United States to develop like Li Lianlian!"
"Yeah, Xiao Li Yilan and Xiao Tang are in the United States, so we have favorable conditions! Go to the United States to develop and make a lot of money!"
"I heard that Xiao Tang is now a professor at an American university..."
Listening to everyone talking, and even involving his own mother, Li Tang quickly cupped his hands and said: "Teachers and uncles, please take your time, I'll run away first!"
Speaking of my biological mother, she still calls her often over the years. In and out of her words, she expresses her happiness that Li Tang is developing well in the country, and is especially happy about Lao Li's remarriage. It is estimated that only in this way will the guilt in her heart be relieved.
My mother also asked people to collect a lot of DVDs of Li Tang's movies and TV series in China. She also said that after watching them, his two half-brothers and sisters admired him as an older brother.
Li Tang could just forget it. His two younger brothers and sisters he had never met before were probably similar to him in his previous life. They must have been full of a sense of superiority towards all the things happening in the country these days, so he could just ignore them.
After returning home, I took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and prepared to go downstairs to Little Guangdong for breakfast. But before going out, he called Xu Guangtou.
"Cuna, Xunxi (looking for death), Ga called me a long time ago."
On the other end of the phone, Bald Xu was still sleeping in, and he was so angry when he woke up.
"Boss, come to Little Guangdong to have breakfast and chat with me!" Li Tang said with a smile.
"Young man, you can't have lunch, you have to do it very early in the morning!"
"Don't talk too much, come and come as you please!"
All joking aside, after all, Li Tang is now his boss. Although Xu Guangtou cursed, he still said: "Okay, okay, I'll be right over."
The small Cantonese snack bar near downstairs has now been enlarged and renovated. With the popularity of Cantonese cuisine in the past two years, in the morning, in addition to classic Shanghai snacks such as pan-fried pancakes, small steamed buns, and small wontons, there are also It operates Cantonese morning tea and some Cantonese stir-fry dishes, which is a bit like a typhoon shelter.
When Li Tang opened the door and walked into Little Guangdong, the boss sitting behind the counter suddenly lit up his eyes and hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, big star, don't see me for a long time, I thought you had moved away!"
"Where are you moving to? It's nice to live here." Li Tang said with a smile.
"Big stars who have money may move to luxury houses on Lujiazui or Hongqiao Road in Pudong. But one thing to say, no matter how good Lujiazui is, it is Pudong, while Hongqiao Road has long been in the countryside. I heard that most of the people who buy houses are outsiders. Or a nouveau riche. If you really want to live there, Alala’s place has the accent.” The boss muttered to himself.
Shanghai is a city of immigrants. Cantonese like Mr. Guangdong, whose ancestors have been immigrants for three generations, have long regarded themselves as pure Shanghainese. Their ID numbers all start with 31010.
On the contrary, Li Tang's ID card does not look hard at all. His household registration has always been with Lao Li. The first six digits of the ID card are 310229. You can tell at a glance that he is from the countryside.
The boss found a table for Li Tang by the window, and continued to mutter: "People who really have money are now buying old houses, and the prices of old houses are extremely expensive. There are seven families living in the building next to Ala. The old bungalow in front of me has just been taken away, and the resettlement fee alone costs more than 10 million!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed: "Tsk, tsk, tell me, the people who buy this kind of house are definitely wealthy!"
Many old bungalows in Shanghai are similar to large courtyard houses in Beijing. One old bungalow is often crowded with seven or eight or even a dozen families.
Speaking of which, the old bungalow on Taiyuan Road that Li Tang bought last year had an area of more than 400 square meters and a construction area of more than 370 square meters. Now it has increased a lot.
This house is still under renovation. Li Tang's original suggestion was to keep it as old as possible, while the internal living facilities should be as advanced as possible. Zeng Jia found several design companies for this purpose and spent more than 200,000 yuan on the design fee alone. According to the current progress, it is estimated that it will not be completed until the second half of this year.
Li Tang originally wanted to order a bowl of wontons, a bowl of fried rice, and a bowl of steamed pork ribs as usual.
However, the boss insisted that he try the various dim sum of their new Cantonese morning tea, such as crystal shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce, chicken feet, golden belly with sauce, etc.
Li Tang was very greedy, so he ordered a pot of Tieguanyin and various snacks.
The boss personally entertained him, and when tea and various snacks were served, the boss suddenly asked: "You want to drink wine?"
Li Tang couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm not an old wine shop (an alcoholic) or an old coffin. The old Qing Dynasty has been eating old wine for a long time!"
Although eating morning wine is also a culture in Shanghai, it is more of a lower-class culture, just like people in the capital eat braised pork. Who in the rich family would eat braised pork in the past?
After liberation, everyone was equal, and this lower-class culture also spread. After all, for a long time, everyone had nothing to eat. However, having morning drinks in Shanghai is more often labeled as an alcoholic. Of course, with the development of the economy, it gradually evolved into a way of pastime.
The boss quickly said: "That's not true. Let me tell you that old man Ala asked someone to bring some wine soaked in deer penis from the Northeast. This stuff is very good. You will know it after you taste it."
After saying that, he kept winking at Li Tang. Maybe in his impression, Li Tang, a big star, usually spends a lot of time. Apart from anything else, he had met the two Bingbings at least several times. Not to mention that some time ago there were rumors about his affair with the girl who had a clear mouth.
When Li Tang heard this, he immediately shook his head: "Don't eat, don't eat, it's early in the morning, it's better to have tea!"
Are you kidding? He is already panicking now, and Gao Yuanyuan is still staying in Shanghai for a few days. It is one thing not to make mistakes, but the friendship between friends still needs to be fulfilled. Today he plans to take it with him Yuanyuan went to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town for a stroll. If he drank that deer whip wine, wouldn't it force him to make mistakes?
First update, more!
