Jinling City in April is full of spring.
As soon as Mi Lan stepped out of the crowded high-speed railway station, she was hit by the air filled with the fragrance of flowers and the unexpected spring light.
Compared with the long and dry winter in Beicheng, the winter in Jinling City is much shorter, and even the spring is fleeting, often reaching summer in a second.
Mi Lan had checked the weather before coming back, and now she still felt that she was overdressed.
Feeling some sweat on her back and forehead, she stopped, took off her knitted jacket, and hung it on her arms.
Then he broke into a big smile, raised his face in a good mood, and took a deep breath.
My dear hometown, I'm back!
"Milan!" A hearty and familiar voice came from the left.
Mi Lan turned her face sideways and saw a young woman leaning against a white Mercedes-Benz and smiling at her.
The woman's skin is very white, she is round and beautiful, and she is wearing a rose-colored fragrant suit. At first glance, she looks like the kind of rich lady who is not short of money.
It's her hair. Xu Mang is right.
Mi Lan walked over seriously and looked at Xu Mang with raised eyebrows: "We haven't seen you for many years, how come you are getting richer and richer?"
Xu Mang immediately replied: "I haven't seen you for many years, but your mouth is getting worse."
The air was silent for a second, and the two of them laughed in unison.
Xu Mang stuffed her luggage into the trunk and said, "Don't say we're not good to you. As soon as we heard that you were coming back this time, Ling'er and I specially treated you to dinner at the largest resort hotel in this town."
"Neither Zhou Kai nor Shi Dalong received this kind of treatment." Xu Mang blinked.
"I'm so sorry." Milan said in a fake tone, "It's not easy for you to make money."
"Stop pretending, don't Ling'er and I still know about your virtues?" Xu Mang rolled his eyes at her, but there was a smile on his lips.
The two chatted and laughed and drove towards the resort hotel.
Mi Lan was born in Jinling City.
Others say that this is a city full of historical charm and cultural heritage, but Mi Lan doesn't feel anything at all. She only finds the spring catkins and the fur of the sycamore trees annoying.
It wasn't until she went away to study and wander around that she fully realized what homesickness was.
In the past six months, her lumbar vertebrae have become increasingly protruding, and her frozen shoulder must be relieved by regular physical therapy.
The physical pain, coupled with the numbers on her bankbook, made her finally choose to leave her job after receiving her year-end bonus.
What other ideas can social animals have?
Earn enough money and retire, of course.
ideal? value? It's not what an unambitious person like her should think about.
Her ultimate goal in life is to retire in her prime and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to farm and raise chickens.
In short, as long as she is not working, she is happy doing anything.
It was already five-thirty when we arrived at the Canan Hotel, and the sun had not yet set. The gorgeous sunset covered most of the sky, like an oil painting, as thick and colorful as an oil painting.
Mi Lan couldn't help but take a few photos with her phone when she got out of the car.
Feeling that it was not enough, she asked Xu Mang to take a few full-body photos with her mobile phone. After selecting a few photos, she sent them to Moments.
Xia Ling'er happened to arrive at this time, and the three of them walked into the Canan Hotel together.
Xu Mang took Mi Lan and Xia Ling'er to the buffet restaurant in a familiar manner, and introduced: "The buffet here is really nothing to say, except that it is expensive."
"Is this Les?" (Is this place awesome?) Mi Lan's greed was aroused, and she even spoke her hometown dialect.
"It's okay." (affirmative) Xu Mang also replied.
They came to the dining table, put their things down, and went to get something to eat.
They are all foodies and have no image baggage, so the table was filled up in no time.
Mi Lan was about to reach out for the crayfish, but Xu Mang stopped her.
Xu Mang made a calm gesture and spoke like a leader: "I believe everyone knows this time..."
"Come on." Mi Lan nudged her with his elbow, "I want to hear your impassioned words while we're having a meal, and why don't you let others eat?"
When Xu Mang thought about it, it was true that he had been greatly influenced by that crazy boss recently.
The next three of them ate without saying a word. Halfway through the meal, Mi Lan got up to get a drink because she was thirsty.
"What do you two want to drink?" Mi Lan rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms, looking like she was having fun.
Xu Mang said without raising his head: "Whatever."
Xia Ling'er has the gentlest personality among the three, and she also speaks in a soft and sweet tone.
"Lanlan, get me a glass of plum juice."
Mi Lan made an OK gesture and walked to where the drinks were. A child appeared out of nowhere on the way. She instinctively turned her body and happened to brush against a man walking by.
"Sorry." She apologized quickly, secretly glad that she didn't have anything in her hands.
The next second I heard a cold and deep voice reply: "It doesn't matter."
Mi Lan raised her eyes and only saw the other person's profile passing by. With this startling glance, Mi Lan immediately stood up straight and stayed where he was to pay attention.
She has always watched the best-looking human beings travel three thousand miles away to show her respect.
Halfway through the ceremony, the man in a suit suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at her with a half-smile.
Seeing that she was caught, Mi Lan trembled and hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to pick vegetables, but she was still sipping the man's handsome face in her mind.
She caught a glimpse of the man leaving from the corner of her eye. She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat with her drink.
"Let me tell you, I just saw a super handsome guy. I just took a quick glance and felt that my soul was rippling. I don't know why."
When Xu Mang heard this, he immediately became excited. He leaned over and asked with bright eyes, "Do you have any photos?"
"No." Mi Lan shook her head, "I don't know him, I'm sorry to take pictures."
Xu Mang's eyes showed suspicion: "Is there anything else you are embarrassed to do?"
Xia Ling'er on the side laughed: "What does it look like? It can make you so excited."
Mi Lan took a sip of the coconut juice, lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds before saying: "Heaven is full, his eyes are deep, his nose is high, and he is at least 185cm tall..."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly paused and he hesitated, "I always feel like I've seen it somewhere..."
Xu Mang let out a sigh, and just as he was about to take a sip of his drink, his expression suddenly changed and he patted his thigh: "It can't be him..."
"Who?" Mi Lan looked at her.
"That's it..." Xu Mang glanced around, put his head close to Mi Lan, and whispered, "Don't you think the name of this hotel looks familiar?"
Mi blue eyes flashed with confusion.
Xu Mang stretched out his index finger and tapped her forehead: "Xiao Jianan, our junior high school classmate. The one who used to follow you all day long, with the playful smile."
"He owns this hotel."
Damn it!
Mi Lan took a breath and looked around the hall to make sure she didn't see the man just now. She gritted her teeth and leaned closer and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You want to harm me?"
Xu Mang gave her an ambiguous look and said coquettishly, "Oh, it's not because his food is delicious."
"Besides, it has been so many years. He is now the big boss, so he may have forgotten those unpleasant things."
"Who said that!" Mi Lan remembered the look in Xiao Jianan's eyes when she left, and he knew he recognized her at a glance.
Realizing that the voice was too loud, Mi Lan lowered her voice and continued: "There are so many restaurants, but you chose the one he opened. I think you are sincere."
"I think Mang Mang is right. He is a big boss now, how can he still remember us old classmates." Xia Ling'er also added.
