Qixingtang is not a pond, but a huge lagoon. There is a sand embankment between the lagoon and the sea.
When Lu Mingfei was in junior high school, the sand embankment was the most famous love destination in the area. When night fell, boys and girls holding hands and leaning on each other could be seen everywhere.
Where there are many people, there are business opportunities. First, someone rode a tricycle to sell wontons and beef noodles. Then a crayfish restaurant opened in the fishing village next to it. Then there were small bars, hot pot restaurants, and even a foot bath... I don’t know why someone would open a foot bath in a holy place of love. This kind of thinking is confusing.
And Lu Mingfei always felt that this approach seemed a bit familiar - there was a hint of psychosis everywhere.
If you think about it carefully, isn't this something that psychotic characters like Gu Bei and Fingel can do?
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei felt a sense of intimacy with that foot bath.
He was even thinking about whether he should open an Internet cafe next door to the foot bath city, and then let Old Tang build a barbecue restaurant—or simply go all-in-one and let customers soak their feet, surf the Internet, and eat crayfish at the same time.
This emerging business model should be well received, right?
Lu Mingfei was thinking endlessly.
Completely ignoring the feelings of the other two people at the table.
In fact, Chen Wenwen didn't expect to meet Lu Mingfei - she just went out to buy books as usual.
Although she is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, Chen Wenwen has no delicate temperament except that she is a bit literary. She not only likes to go shopping by herself, but also rarely rides in a private car. When she goes out, she either takes the bus or bicycles. She has a sense of enjoying herself with the people.
Even when I go out to buy books, I often walk alone.
When she wanted others to help, she would never shout around, she would just gently ask if they could help - but even so, there were a lot of people rushing to do their best for her.
Because of this incident, a group of girls in Shilan Middle School secretly nicknamed Chen Wenwen Daji - meaning that Chen Wenwen was the demon concubine of Shilan Middle School and brought disaster to the country and the people.
But Chen Wenwen didn't react much to this. I don't know whether it was to maintain her indifferent persona or because she really didn't care about other people's opinions. Anyway, her performance was consistent.
When it comes to the demon concubine of Shilan Middle School, we have to mention the empress who is as famous as the demon concubine - Su Xiaoqiang. She must be pompous when traveling, and the motorcade must be picked up and dropped off with a red carpet. This is actually a bit exaggerated, but Su Xiaoqiang is indeed He is one of the few characters who can appeal to the vast majority of Shilan students, regardless of gender.
The last person to do this was Chu Zihang.
This is a great achievement that even Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei have not completed. If girls were allowed to be included in Shilan Middle School's ranking list, then Su Xiaoqiang would definitely be number one on the list.
Speaking of Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei's heart flew away again. Now he really wanted to go back to the apartment to see the information Lu Mingze brought to him, but the situation was stronger than the people.
In fact, when he first met Chen Wenwen's Zhao Menghua, Lu Mingfei wanted to turn around and leave, but when Chen Wenwen called out to him, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the words Lu Mingze left before leaving - fate cannot be escaped. , unable to resist, can only bear it and then solve it.
To be honest, Lu Mingfei felt that this boy must have had future vision, and he said these words to him on purpose.
Well, Lu Mingfei admitted that he did have some thoughts of escaping. After all, he was not a scumbag. There was no possibility of breaking up and being rejected and then becoming good friends.
Rather than sitting together face to face and being so embarrassed that you don't know what to say, it would be better not to see each other at all.
So Lu Mingfei held this idea and decided to retreat after a few words of greeting. Chen Wenwen said: "It's rare that we can meet during the winter vacation. Let's find a place to sit. It just so happens that I also have something to tell you."
The other party has said so, what can Lu Mingfei do?
Then go ahead.
So things became like this. Lu Mingfei, Chen Wenwen, and Zhao Menghua, who had shamelessly followed up and said that he wanted to be the flower protector, came to Qixingtang together.
Today's Qixingtang is more lively than the junior high school. There is a constant flow of people and it is full of people.
cause trouble.
In order to expand their business scope, merchants built a floating platform in the lagoon, set up a shed on the floating platform, and fixed the entire floating platform to the shore with iron chains.
When the tide is high, the sea occasionally crosses the sand bank and enters the lagoon, but most of the time the lagoon is only gently undulated by the breeze, and the tight iron chains ensure the stability of the floating platform.
In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. It's winter now, and the floating platform is directly locked in position by the ice, making it impossible to swing around.
Just in time for the meal, Lu Mingfei was not familiar with the road, so he rushed to a floating platform, found a seat next to him, and ordered a table full of crayfish and skewers, as well as a box of beer.
Chen Wenwen was wearing a long white cotton skirt and sat opposite Lu Mingfei. Hello Kitty's gloves and scarf were taken off and placed aside. The beret was also taken off, and her long black hair was scattered like a waterfall.
She was holding a skewer and eating it carefully.
While peeling crayfish, Zhao Menghua scolded: "It's true of you, Lu Mingfei. Didn't you see the white dress Chen Wenwen wore today? You actually brought her to a place like this to eat. What if the clothes get dirty?" "
Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and glanced at him: "You can leave if you're not satisfied. I'm not stopping you."
When Zhao Menghua heard this, he immediately became excited: "Chen Wenwen, let's go. I remember there is a new Western restaurant nearby. The chef there is from France and the French cuisine he cooks is very authentic."
Lu Mingfei felt ridiculous when he heard it. The French food cooked by the French was certainly authentic, but it may not suit the taste of Chinese people. It can only be said that the French food cooked by the French must be more satisfying to the French people - anyway, Lu Mingfei was lucky. After tasting it once, I felt it was not as delicious as the tofu curd made by my aunt downstairs.
Although he thought so, his face remained calm as he just ate meat.
Chen Wenwen shook her head politely at Zhao Menghua: "I have something to say to Lu Mingfei. Zhao Menghua, if you are not used to it, go and eat there first."
Zhao Menghua, a student, didn't understand this, but Lu Mingfei, an old man, understood it. What Chen Wenwen said was that you should leave quickly while Lu Mingfei and I talk about some personal matters.
However, although Zhao Menghua did not understand, he also knew that at this time, Chen Wenwen and Lu Mingfei could not be left with private space, otherwise who knows what would happen?
Zhao Menghua believed that Chen Wenwen would not like Lu Mingfei, but he did not dare to hug her. Lu Mingfei had completely given up on Chen Wenwen.
So he quickly made up for it: "It's okay. I'm used to eating. I often barbecue in the yard when I'm at home. My cooking skills are pretty good."
As he said this, he called the waiter to put on a charcoal stove, then took the half-cooked skewers and put them on the stove to grill.
Lu Mingfei was too lazy to care about him and ate meat and drank wine by himself.
Chen Wenwen didn't say anything anymore. She ate the kebabs in her hands in small bites, her eyes wandering on the ice, looking at the falling snowflakes, looking very worried.
Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, one only knew how to eat, and the other didn't know what he was thinking. They were each immersed in their own world, but Zhao Menghua seemed a bit redundant, and he shut up after a while.
In fact, Lu Mingfei just wanted to finish eating quickly, finish chatting with Chen Wenwen, and then go home to read the information. Zhao Menghua simply didn't want to leave Chen Wenwen and Lu Mingfei alone, and no one knew what Chen Wenwen was thinking.
There was something brewing in the silence.
Finally, Chen Wenwen took the lead to break the silence, took out a bottle from the beer box at Lu Mingfei's feet, opened it, and then raised it straight in front of Lu Mingfei.
The heroic level of that action was not like Chen Wenwen's usual style at all - Lu Mingfei even saw the shadow of Su Xiaoqiang in her for a moment.
Chen Wenwen raised the newly opened bottle of wine, touched it to the half-drunk bottle of wine on Lu Mingfei's table, and then raised her head...
Gudong, Gudong...
After half the bottle was gone, Zhao Menghua came to his senses and rushed up to grab the bottle from Chen Wenwen's hand: "Oh, what are you doing!"
Chen Wenwen shook her head: "I'm fine."
It's indeed okay
, probably few people know that Chen Wenwen's drinking capacity is not bad. She secretly tested her own drinking capacity when she first entered high school. She even started drinking alcohol earlier than Su Xiaoqiang.
It's just that in the eyes of others, Chen Wenwen has always been a good girl. Drinking will never happen to Chen Wenwen - this is the so-called stereotype.
But these people have also forgotten that no matter how well-behaved Chen Wenwen is, no matter how mature her thoughts are compared to her peers, in the final analysis she is still a child in the rebellious period - there is no such thing as a well-behaved girl in this age group. If she is not a naughty child, she is already the most Good situation now.
So Chen Wenwen's daily performance is all disguise.
She and Liu Miaomiao are the same type of people. Both of them use perfect masks to hide their true selves. The difference is that Liu Miaomiao is forced to do so, while Chen Wenwen chooses it by herself.
She has always been a restless person, even more rebellious than Su Xiaoqiang - but no one has ever been able to take off her mask, never.
After half a bottle of beer, Chen Wenwen didn't feel anything, but she still blushed like a conditioned reaction. She stared straight at Lu Mingfei and said for a long time: "I'm sorry."
Zhao Menghua said anxiously: "Chen Wenwen, what are you talking about!?"
Lu Mingfei just ate meat and said nothing.
Chen Wenwen took a deep breath, and then said seriously again: "I'm sorry, really."
Lu Mingfei swallowed the meat in his mouth, picked up the crayfish from one side and started peeling the shell: "You don't need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing."
"That's not what I'm talking about," Chen Wenwen shook her head. "It's about everything that happened before that. I knew it but..."
"Stop it." Lu Mingfei raised his hand, "The past is in the past. To be honest, I'm not a tolerant person, so I won't talk about being friends from now on. But I'm not that petty either. There are some things. I won’t hold on to it even after it’s over.”
Lu Mingfei stuffed the peeled crayfish into his mouth and said, "You are just an old dream."
"Old dream?"
Lu Mingfei stared into the clear eyes opposite: "Everyone has old dreams. When you wake up from old dreams, that person has really grown up."
After saying that, he took the half bottle of beer and clinked it with the bottle in Chen Wenwen's hand: "I respect your growth."
Gudong, Gudong...
Chen Wenwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly and raised her head, goo dong goo dong...
Zhao Menghua sat between the two, looking at the two drinking heavily, he couldn't help but feel a ridiculous feeling in his heart.
Chen Wenwen, the goddess in the hearts of men in the entire Shilan Middle School, the always good girl, clinking glasses and blowing bottles with that Lu Mingfei?
If this kind of thing were told, I'm afraid not the entire Shilan Middle School would think he was crazy.
In fact, even Zhao Menghua felt that he was crazy, otherwise how could he have such a dream?
Zhao Menghua pinched his thigh.
It hurts, it’s not a dream.
it is true.
Zhao Menghua felt like a clown - he even heard some children laughing at him behind his back, but when Zhao Menghua turned around, he only saw the small suit passing by.
Lu Mingfei put down the bottle of wine and saw that Chen Wenwen hadn't finished drinking yet, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet."
No one responded, because Chen Wenwen was drinking and Zhao Menghua was in a daze.
But it didn't matter, he didn't want to respond.
Come to the counter to check out and leave.
Lu Mingfei walked out of the barbecue restaurant, merged into the crowd, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Hello? Sister Hua?"
"It's me, Lu Mingfei."
"I didn't change my number. I accidentally lost my previous number when I went on a mission with Boss Gu. I haven't had time to replace it yet."
"Yes, the boss is back too...Brother Yan didn't tell you?"
"I've been back for two or three days."
"Can't fight
Pass? Could it be that he blocked you? Ha ha ha ha……"
"Okay, I won't laugh. I understand. I will definitely tell him about this."
"One more thing, Sister Hua, please arrange for someone to come over, preferably a girl, and send a girl home."
"It's not cheating, Sister Hua, why are you such a gossip?"
"It's Chen Wenwen...how did you know?"
"You can even find out about this kind of thing!? Isn't it a bit of an invasion of employee privacy for us to be able to communicate from anywhere?"
"Sorry, I was wrong!"
"It's nothing, it's just that she suddenly invited me for a drink...it's really nothing!"
"Anyway, please send someone over quickly. I don't know how drunk she is, but if she gets drunk, it's not safe to be alone."
"This is not concern. I am here to protect the safety of citizens. Is this why we can't get through anywhere?"
"Address? Qixingtang, just ask Bai Ze to lock the location of my mobile phone."
"Okay, I didn't forget it, I will tell it to the boss."
"Okay, thanks, Sister Hua."
"Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei felt relaxed, and a song suddenly appeared in his mind.
It seems to be called...an old dream? No...an old dream?
Yes, old dream.
Lu Mingfei walked among the crowd and hummed softly.
"Old memories are like a window,
Once pushed open, it becomes difficult to close again.
Who stepped on the dead branches and made a soft sound?
Fireflies paint the screen with incense,
For whom to gather a sleeve of fragrance?
The letter written with red leaves is full of affection,
He said he would go wandering like this,
To a beautiful place..."
