The good thing about Liu Tao is that he has a strong air of small intellectuals. He has the gentleness and elegance of a cultured person, but also the cautiousness of an ordinary person. He has a noble side and a humble side. When you are with someone like him, you will feel that you are not only out of low-level interests, but also in contact with the fireworks of the world. Not illusory, not impetuous, very down-to-earth, very stable, in short, talking to him and being by his side made me very comfortable.

"Momo, are you still getting used to the new department?" He smiled gently and filled my glass with fruit juice. We just had a Western-style fast food, and now we are chatting about life while drinking drinks.

"It's not bad. Teacher Wu is very kind and has been helping me. Now I'm working on the same layout as her. With her, I can learn a lot without being afraid of making mistakes."

"Momo has always had the best mentality and is always so humble. Now that you have transferred to an editorial position, you should be more confident in yourself." Liu Tao said, with his usual elegant smile on his lips.

I chuckled, "I will always be a primary school student in front of you and Mr. Wu."

He shook his head slowly with a smile on his face, and said with a sigh: "If the new girls were all like Momo, we old comrades wouldn't have to work so hard. The new little reporter who replaced you, obviously The manuscript was not good enough, but he was confident and confident. He argued with me for several hours but refused to change it. The resulting page was signed and printed half an hour late, and the director and I were deducted 100 yuan."

I gasped, "There are still people arguing with you, where can I find such a good-tempered editor teacher like you?"

"Hehe, my bad temper is just because of your humility. After you went to the entertainment department, I really miss you from time to time." Liu Tao said, his words made my heart twitch, and my thoughts were crushed instantly. I turned my head, and I immediately forgot about the reserved little woman who was holding her hand. Both of our hands are on the table at this time, and the fingertips are only a few centimeters apart. I quietly poked forward again, preparing to break through the first hurdle of holding hands between lovers, but when our fingers were about to When we were about to run into each other, suddenly someone beside me called my name in an unpleasant manner.

I looked up annoyed, and saw Miss Wei standing at the side of my dining table, looking at me with a smile.

I don't know why, the moment I saw Wei Jie, I suddenly felt a nervous feeling of being caught on the bed, stood up suddenly, almost knocked over the glass in front of me in a panic, helped the glass in a hurry, and swallowed again. After drooling, I stammered, "Miss Wei, you, are you coming here for dinner too?"

"Yes, the environment and dishes of this restaurant are good." She said, she glanced at Liu Tao, then at Liu Tao, and then at Liu Tao again. I almost thought Wei Jie was a manager. Eyes, when I was about to discover Liu Tao's entry into the entertainment industry, Wei Jie looked at me with deep eyes and asked, "Is Momo dating her boyfriend?"

What Sister Wei asked made me even more dumbfounded. How do you ask me to answer? How can you tell me to answer? I really can't understand how a woman like Wei Jie, who is over thirty and a half or in her early forties, can ask a girl such a question that is not in line with mainstream aesthetics and public values in a social situation without common sense.

I have only two choices at the moment, one is to act like a shy little woman and silently admit that this is a date, the other is to quickly and truthfully state my position, Liu Tao and I have been absolutely innocent and pure colleagues until now. However, the former made me appear to be too impatient and I lost my reserve, while the latter seemed to make me seem eager to get rid of something in front of Miss Wei. However, too long silence is obviously not a good choice. Two evils are equal, and I will choose the lesser within a few seconds.

"Yes, we're dating." I bowed my head and said shyly.

I heard a not-too-loud gasp, and raised my head guiltily, but was very relieved to see that the person with the surprised expression was Wei Jie and not Liu Tao. The latter stood up very politely at this time and said: "Hi, my name is Liu Tao. Are you Momo's friend? Nice to meet you."

"Yi Wanqing, hello, Liu Tao." Sister Wei said simply, nodded to Liu Tao with a professional smile, and then took a deep look at me before saying: "Momo, then I won't bother you, another day Call again."

I sat down very anxiously, staring at Wei Jie's back in a daze, Liu Tao cleared his throat and asked me: "Momo, Wei Wanqing? Is that a very famous manager?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Oh, she's Cheng Hua's manager, isn't she?" Liu Tao asked again. I was overwhelmed by his strong knowledge. As a half-hearted economic reporter and a career-changing entertainment reporter, I was actually wrong most of the time. Liu Tao even knew the names of the artists and managers.

Liu Tao seemed to be thinking for a while, then he raised his head and smiled at me and said, "Momo, are you still interested in going to a movie after dinner?"

How could you not be interested? I was disturbed by Weijie's appearance, because I was excited again after hearing Liu Tao's invitation. We walked to the theater, and Liu Tao took my hand on the way. Although it was only when we were crossing the road, but this time It's already a leap forward, and he didn't look unhappy at all after I cheekily and vaguely admitted to dating my boyfriend, and even invited me to watch a movie together, which made me think that he must like it mine. However, he is such a gentle and elegant man, so naturally he should be slow to warm up. I am already very satisfied holding the little hand at this moment. If he gives me a hot kiss right away, I am afraid it will scare me.

Movie theaters are currently in the summer holiday season. In the past few years, during this period of time, domestic films have been protected in theaters, and various foreign blockbusters will be postponed to ensure the box office of domestic films. Of the four movies screened at the same time, two were starring Cheng Hua, one was a costume martial arts movie, and the other was a modern spy movie. In addition, there are two films starring non-Cheng Hua, one is a romantic literary film, and the other is a hilarious comedy film. Although I have never watched any movies and TV series starring Cheng Hua before, but now I don't have much resistance, and I am actually a little curious about how good his acting skills are when he is acting, and whether the extraordinary talent in his youth Performed incisively and vividly in the professional field.

Moreover, the other two films, one is a romantic literary film, which men seldom like to watch, and the other is a hilarious comedy. From the poster, you can know that it is taking the route of vulgarity and spoof. Watching such a film seems to lower the level for no reason It's like the identity of a cultural person like me. So after Liu Tao politely said that he wanted to watch a romantic literary film, I also sincerely asked to watch a spy film. In the end, Liu Tao agreed with me in a gentlemanly manner. When he bought the tickets and waited for the show, he asked me, "The spy war drama "The Curtain" that Cheng Hua acted in before is very touching, isn't it?"

I bit my lip and admitted my ignorance in this field with embarrassment, "Actually, I haven't watched any film and television works he acted in, and this is the first time."

Liu Tao was very surprised, his eyes flashed, and he smiled, "You guys know each other so well, why don't you watch his movies?"

Seizing this opportunity, I felt that it was necessary to re-clarify the relationship between me and Cheng Hua in front of Liu Tao, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, "That's right, Cheng Hua and I have been classmates for many years, but we both have bad tempers. It doesn’t make sense to vote, so although it can be regarded as old acquaintance, the relationship is actually very ordinary.”

"Oh, happy friends." Liu Tao defined.

As soon as I choked, tears almost fell down, I quickly shook my head and waved my hands in denial, "Ms. Liu, there is really no such thing."

Liu Tao smiled, and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he talked about the movies he likes to watch. I was delighted to find that our tastes in literature and film and television works are very similar. This is a very good guarantee for the long-term stability of the relationship between lovers. No matter how passionate love is, there will always be times when it fades. The same interests, hobbies and aesthetic tastes are the essential factors for marriage and love.

With the most beautiful vision for the future, I was chatting with Liu Tao, catching little by little hints that our married life will be happy and happy in the future. When the movie was about to start entering the theater, a scene had already appeared in my mind. A harmonious picture of family life. In the study room where the entire wall is covered with bookshelves, the two of us are sitting comfortably on the sofa watching a movie played in the home theater together with half-read books in our hands. On the carpet, our snow-white Samoyed is drowsy , and he leaned over and kissed me amidst the sweet scent of lattes in the room...

It wasn't until I walked into the movie theater that the opening advertisement screen had appeared and the stereo effect was shocking. I woke up from my own imagination and turned my head just in time to see Liu Tao took out his mobile phone and turned it to silent. I just remembered that my phone must also be turned to silent. After Weijie saw me just now, there's no guarantee she won't tell Cheng Hua about it. If Cheng Hua knows it, she won't mess with me again. I'm a person with phone anxiety, so I can't guarantee that I won't answer it. Feeling.

When I raised my eyes to look at the screen, the movie had already officially started showing, and the first screen turned out to be a close-up shot of Cheng Hua, who had seen so much nauseating face these days, suddenly changed her outfit and appeared on the screen. There is a strange dreamy feeling. In the camera, he is dressed in a blue-gray mandarin jacket with a white scarf, facing the audience sideways, and his slanted shadow is drawn by street lights. He clearly looks like a literary youth in the 1930s, but he seems to have an aristocratic air. The tight corners of his lips on the side are the expression he often has when he is angry, and the slightly raised corners of his eyes are smiling. At this moment, he seemed to be watching the back of a graceful woman not far away.

The camera zoomed in and out, an unknown smile floated on the corner of his lips, he turned his head slowly, a cart puller walked by him, he said very casually, "Poplar Hotel, 508." Passing by, he calmly walked out of the camera. When only the back of the coachman was left in the camera and Cheng Hua finally disappeared from the screen, I couldn't help sitting up straight, as if I was going to pick my head to see where he had gone.

When the camera cuts back again, Cheng Hua reappears in the field of vision, still in a long gown and mandarin jacket, elegantly and gracefully spreading his captivating smile to the camera. For some reason, I suddenly became excited. Maybe it was really because I watched Cheng Hua's movie for the first time. The illusory image on the big screen turned out to be in real life. I had skin-to-skin contact with him. real touch. Apart from the fact that Cheng Hua and I were not at odds, this feeling is really wonderfully exhilarating. I almost wanted to shake Liu Tao's arm and say to him, "Hey, you know, he usually has this expression when he sees braised pork, just like when the beautiful woman walked past him in the movie just now."

Of course, I still tried my best to restrain this urge.

It’s just that while watching the movie, I kept pinching the phone with my fingers in my pocket, as if I was always looking forward to it. At first I was suspicious, because I hoped that Liu Tao would show some kindness to me again. . However, after I got home, I turned the phone out of the phone, plugged in the charger, and was still staring at it in a daze. I suddenly realized that although I was worried, I seemed to have been looking forward to a call from Cheng Hua. According to the usual practice, in today's situation, he should call me.

Before going to bed, I vaguely thought, maybe Wei Jie didn't tell him about seeing me and Liu Tao, maybe that's the case.
