I don't want to quarrel with him, and I don't want to ask him how he knows my office phone number. With a traitor like my mother, can I have any secrets? "My phone is out of battery," I explained.
He probably believed it, and said in a more relaxed tone, "Why aren't you off work? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"You went to my house again?" I was a little annoyed when I heard that he was waiting for me.
"No, I'm downstairs from your newspaper office." He said lightly.
I was so frightened that I almost threw the receiver away, and hurriedly dragged the telephone line to the window to look down. Put your face against the glass and observe the situation downstairs.
After looking carefully for a while, there didn't seem to be any spectators downstairs, so I said angrily to the phone, "Don't lie to me, you are downstairs, so the traffic is about to be blocked."
"I'm in the car." Cheng Hua smiled treacherously.
"Your flamboyant car will also attract crowds." I pointed out sternly, and only now did I realize that he was probably playing me again, and he wasn't really downstairs at all.
"I didn't drive my own car, I borrowed a car. How are you doing? Are you still off work?"
"It's not over yet. You go, what are you waiting for me?" I believed him first, so I persuaded him like this.
"Waiting for you, of course I have something to do." He said, insisting, "Then hurry up." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.
Of course I continued to wait for my Liu Tao, and completely ignored Cheng Hua. Either he wasn't downstairs at all, or if he was, he got tired of waiting and left. I can't afford to change my own plans for him.
However, I obviously underestimated the stubbornness of this bad guy. Twenty minutes later, the phone rang again. Although I suspected that he still didn't answer the call, but the unit's phone didn't have a caller ID, and I couldn't be sure that I might miss other important calls. Picking up the phone, it turned out to be Cheng Hua, and when I was still hesitating whether to pretend to have a bad signal and hang up the phone, the other side shouted, "Momo, I'm done asking, you can go now What are you dawdling about? If you don’t come down, I’ll go upstairs.”
I was really scared of him right now, so I had to put down the phone and go downstairs. Even if he tricked me into running for nothing, it would be better than causing unnecessary commotion when he went upstairs again. I want to prove that we know each other This matter has now been completed, and I don't need any other subsidiary products.
After I went downstairs and turned around a few times, I was sure that I was being tricked. There was no decent car parked downstairs as if waiting for someone. There was only one dilapidated one with the advertisement of a certain liquor company printed on it, which looked like a delivery truck, and it was parked in an unsightly place. I turned around and was about to go upstairs when the person in the van leaned over and rolled down the passenger window from the driver's side and shouted to me, "Momo, here it is."
The big star bowed and greeted me in the broken car. This scene is really out of harmony. I saw that he seemed to be about to open the door and come down, so I subconsciously pulled the co-pilot's door and got into the car, stopping his original movement.
"Where did you get this broken car?" I asked, the inside of the car was more dilapidated than it looked on the outside, Cheng Hua was sitting in such a dusty and stained car wearing a flirty and artistic checkered shirt. , the picture does not have the slightest sense of reality.
"My friend, why, you think it's shabby? Then let's go back and drive my car?" Cheng Hua suggested.
"No, I have something to talk about. I have to go to work after I finish talking."
"Don't lie to me, you are done. You don't need to go up now."
"It's my business if I have nothing to do. What's your business?" I said it like a tongue twister, and looked at him warily after I finished speaking.
"Today is the eighteenth anniversary of our acquaintance. Momo, have you forgotten?" He said, with a hurt expression on his face.
I was taking out from behind me a wrench full of oil stains on my waist on the seat. When I heard this, I almost threw it at his expressive face. The face combined with acting skills made me suffer a lot.
How many years we have known each other, I really don't bother to think about it, maybe eighteen years, or seventeen years or nineteen years, but it doesn't matter, we haven't celebrated the first anniversary, the second anniversary, or the After the tenth anniversary, the eighteenth anniversary popped up so suddenly, how can I believe that this is not a joke
My face was probably covered with an expression of "you are enough", and Cheng Hua's hurt expression deepened a bit.
"Oh, Momo, you really forgot. But, I remember. It was a very hot summer. I just arrived in your class, and the teacher asked me to sit next to you. At that time, you brushed two small brushes, and your face Round and bright eyes, the first time I saw you, I felt like we had known each other for a long time." His eyes were far away, as if lost in memories, but I knew he was acting, so I let him take the lead together into the play.
I really don’t remember what day it was, but it was indeed summer. He was wearing a snow-white half-sleeve shirt and navy blue shorts. He looked clean and fresh like an angel, with red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his skin was like an egg that had been peeled off its shell. , almost showing a translucent luster, I fell in love with him almost in a second.
In the subsequent career at the same table, I have been trying my best to please him. However, he always looks very proud. The first time he showed kindness to me was on the day I was on duty, he cleaned the blackboard for me, I was very moved to thank him, but he said lightly: "Today is your birthday." At that moment, A seven or eight-year-old girl had a love affair that almost violated the rules of nature.
So, when he asked me to copy the papers for him in the next exam, I naturally couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, this cheating behavior was caught by the teacher. When the two of us were invited into the office, he lowered his head with red eyes and said, "Teacher, I really didn't copy her. It was Du Mo who kept pushing the paper to me. I pushed it back every time, but she Push it over again."
I stared at him dumbfounded, forgetting that I should also blush to express my grievance, and then our young and kind female head teacher came to me without distinguishing right from wrong: "Du Mo, why do you insist on Cheng Hua copying yours?" Exam paper?"
This question is really too level, why? Yes? Why, my brain was flooded or I suddenly lost my mind? What reason do I have to ask others to copy my papers? I really can't figure out how a teacher would ask such a non-technical question. I couldn't answer, I could only say over and over again, "I didn't."
Fortunately, it was just an ordinary quiz. The teacher asked the two of us to stay and answer another test paper. Then, because his score was five points higher than mine, the teacher chose to believe him. I was forced to write a check.
Of course, it is completely unreasonable for a person with good grades to copy the exam papers of people with poor grades. The teacher's belief at this time has finally returned to some rationality. However, I was still very wronged, because I could have done better in the exam, but I failed the exam because of my complicated mood and nervousness.
However, I still haven't been able to remember him for too long, because at that time, I didn't know him yet. Later he told me, "Du Mo, you are so stupid, we both can push this matter cleanly, I said you pushed it to me. You just say you pushed the paper over by accident, we With so many papers and such a small table, it's normal to squeeze them to the other side. Besides, you won't ask the teacher, what good will you do if you copy it for me? This is not true at all!"
I did some self-examination, and finally decided that it was because I reacted too slowly that it turned out to be the later result, and Cheng Hua should not be blamed. Hey, at that time, I must have been so stupid and exquisite.
I was still lost in memory, only to find that the car had started. I hurriedly shook Cheng Hua and said, "Stop the car, what are you doing?"
"Of course to celebrate the eighteenth anniversary of our acquaintance." He said as a matter of course, and then drove towards the main road at high speed. I just kept my balance in a dizzy way. Arrived at a club.
After the car stopped, Cheng Hua came over like a gentleman and opened the door for me, and I also walked out of our van with my head held high, as if I was stepping out of a Bentley. The waiters standing around us looked at us with weird expressions, and then at the car behind us. After making sure we were indeed customers and not a delivery from the winery, the front desk called the valet parking attendant.
When I saw the parking boy showing a puzzled expression to our car after coming over, I felt a kind of class feeling towards him like a comrade-in-arms. Although Cheng Hua didn't mean to tease him intentionally, every person Cheng Hua teased, intentionally or not, made me think that we would become friends. But the little brother was just studying how to ignite the ignition and shift gears, and didn't notice my friendly eyes at all.
I came down from the newspaper office just to confirm that Cheng Hua was really there, and to prevent him from rushing upstairs to create a commotion if he really didn't know where he was going wrong, but I didn't think I would leave with him, so I didn't care about anything. I didn't bring it with me, and I didn't even say hello to Liu Tao. I asked Cheng Hua for a cell phone, so I had to call Liu Tao to explain. Cheng Hua took Qiao and said, "This is my private number. As I said, only your parents and you know it. You can't tell anyone else."
"You two hundred and five? I didn't tell the other side that this is your phone number." I got angry.
Cheng Hua ignored me and ordered food.
I had no choice but to wander around and find the front desk to borrow a phone number, so I finally explained to Liu Tao. Although I left in such a hurry, it seemed that I couldn't explain it, but it is better to explain than not to explain.
This clubhouse is really quite private, and each single room has an absolutely isolated space and exclusive corridors. Unless it's at the gate, it's almost impossible to meet the guests in other private rooms. When Cheng Hua chooses this kind of private place, he still knows the importance.
"Momo, for the sake of our eighteen years of acquaintance, let's have a drink!" Cheng Hua said.
"You drove." I pointed out immediately.
"It's okay, we provide driver services here." Cheng Hua said indifferently.
"Are you sure the surrogate driver will drive the little broken car you drove?" I said expressionlessly.
Cheng Hua smiled and poured red wine into the glasses for both of us. Then, holding the goblet with her slender fingers, she gracefully twirled the bright red liquid, and raised her smile to me. Seeing that I didn't pick up the cup, he sighed, "Momo, do you regret knowing me?"
It's hard for me to answer his question. Because in the dictionary of my life, there is no such thing as regret, and existence is reasonable, so there is nothing worth regretting, even though his existence has been my nightmare for more than ten years.
However, if I say that I have no regrets, it seems that I have no regrets because I look down on him so much.
So, I chose silence.
He touched my glass, and after the clear and pleasant sound of glassware colliding, he took a sip of the wine, but said quietly: "I actually regret knowing you."
After I found the biggest one in a plate of shrimps and threw it into my mouth, I didn't make any move to hear more about it, and immediately caught a large piece of the whole fish with the best position. Put the sticky fish meat on the plate.
"If I didn't know you, I don't think I would have the troubles I wish for." Cheng Hua said seriously.
I never took what he said seriously, so I didn't feel the agitation in my heart, but, for some reason, my teeth that were chewing suddenly deviated, and I bit my tongue fiercely.
