Xuanxuan and I were obviously not interested, Chu Jin said it didn't matter, and Liang Sheng didn't express his attitude immediately. After leaving the theater, Wei Lan directly dialed Qiao Wan's phone number and asked Qiao Wan to come over for dinner.
Qiao Wan has not come back since she went out last night. She is probably still with her friends. Wei Lan's phone was placed next to her ear for a long time without speaking. It was obvious that Qiao Wan did not answer it.
She smiled awkwardly, lowered her phone and said, "It didn't get through. I'll call again later." Then she turned around and said in a commanding tone, "Shi Qian, please call the restaurant quickly and tell the restaurant to add four seats. We're going there now." .”
He didn't give us any time to refuse, and turned around and said to us: "Let's go, it's right next to us, we'll be there in a few minutes."
She said it all, and we were too embarrassed to refuse. Liang Sheng nodded and walked out with his long legs.
Wei Lan has been following Liang Sheng closely, almost keeping pace with him. The stairs were only that wide. She stepped forward, and I could only step back. Xuanxuan came up and held my hand, saying in a voice that only I could hear, "This woman came out of nowhere, she's so annoying."
"Didn't she say that she was an old friend of Liang Sheng? We must have known each other since they were young." I answered in a low voice.
Xuanxuan raised her eyebrows in displeasure: "Oh, we are still childhood sweethearts. I wonder if she is married."
"Probably not." I guessed. Because many previous series of Weilan Jewelry recorded a woman's love and longing for a man, Weibo netizens said that Weilan was dumped by the man she loved deeply, and she has been immersed in longing for so many years and cannot extricate herself. This is exactly the case. Her emotions inspired her to create so many spiritual creations.
The only thing I hope is that the man she misses is not Liang Sheng.
"I'll help you find out in a moment." Xuanxuan winked at me, and Chu Jin followed, "What are you two whispering about again?"
Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at Chu Jin: "It's none of your business, stand down."
Chu Jin looked depressed and said, "Hey!" Then he retreated to the back row to chat with Shi Qian.
All the way west along Guomao Main Street, there is a restaurant with an elegant environment less than five minutes away.
Wei Lan introduced us generously, and the waiter led us to a private room. I planned to wait for them to sit down before sitting down, but Xuanxuan pushed me to Liang Sheng's side, and Liang Sheng sat next to him. Then he pulled Chu Jin to sit on Liang Sheng's side.
Wei Lan stood aside in embarrassment. We didn't have much enthusiasm just now, but she was a little surprised that we were suddenly so anxious.
There were no seats left on either side of Liang Sheng, so she had to sit next to me.
The waiter walked in with the menu, and Wei Lan stretched out her hand to say, "Help me prepare dishes for six people. No sweets."
"Okay, Miss Wei Lan." The waiter responded and immediately left.
Liang Sheng asked her: "I've only been back for a month, are you already familiar with the restaurants here?"
Wei Lan smiled with two dimples on the corners of her mouth, "I have eaten too much Shanghainese food, so I wanted to change my taste. This restaurant has a better environment and convenient transportation. I will basically eat here after I come back."
Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately interjected: "Is Miss Weilan the one from Cerulean Jewelry?"
When he heard Cerulean Jewelry, his blue eyes lit up, and some pride appeared on his face, "Yes, it's me."
Xuanxuan smiled seriously, "Wow, that's amazing. Cerulean jewelry is very popular now. Many of my colleagues have bought it. I remember you had a series called 'I'm Waiting for You in Memories'. The theme story of that season was special. Touching, it seems like every piece of jewelry you design is full of lovesickness, is that right?”
Wei Lan glanced at Liang Sheng subconsciously and smiled sheepishly, "It's just some creative inspiration. They are all processed and beautified by the little stories around them."
"Oh? Didn't they say it was your personal experience?" Xuanxuan asked.
Wei Lan obviously resisted this question, she smiled and did not answer.
Xuanxuan would not let her go so easily, and asked directly, "Is Miss Weilan still single now?"
Wei Lan's face looked not so good, her smile became a little stiff, she nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, single."
I walked around Wei Lan and glanced at Shi Qian. He seemed a little awkward, looking down at the tableware in front of him. I remember that he talked a lot at the annual meeting, but why was he so silent in front of Wei Lan
It was as if she was afraid that saying the wrong thing would make Wei Lan unhappy. It was obvious that he liked Wei Lan very much. He probably managed to get Wei Lan to go out with her, and he was very careful in his behavior.
"I didn't expect that Miss Wei Lan would be single in such a good condition. Sure enough, I was right not to pursue a career." She suddenly turned her head and looked at Chu Jin, "You can't force me to work anymore, and don't expect me to transform into a Career women.”
Chu Jin shrugged helplessly, "If you want to go to heaven, I can't force you."
After a while of silence, they talked about their childhood. The waiters served dishes one after another, all of which were Haicheng's specialties. The portions were small and delicate, and the dishes were not something you would like to eat. It is said to be for six people, but with the appetite of Xuanxuan and I, these dishes are not enough to fill our teeth.
Liang Sheng still used hot water to wash the dishes and chopsticks before eating. Wei Lan saw it and had another topic: "You haven't changed this habit."
As she spoke, she smiled slightly and added: "But there have been some changes. In the past, you only scalded your own dishes and chopsticks."
Now, he will habitually burn my chopsticks and spoons as well.
"Habits change." Liang Sheng said meaningfully, his eyes lightly passing over the blue sky, and he placed the hot water bottle on the turntable.
Wei Lan smiled and nodded: "That's true."
There was another brief silence.
Seeing that Shi Qian was cold, he warmly greeted us to start eating. Xuanxuan is a heartless person and would never refuse to eat her food just because she doesn't like Weilan. I'm the same way. As time goes by, I will gradually be affected by Xuanxuan.
It didn't take long for Wei Lan to find another topic.
As we chatted, we talked about the car accident ten years ago.
Wei Lan suppressed a smile, "I was shocked when my mother told you that you had a car accident. Because I cursed you when you left Shanghai, my heart has always been full of guilt. I always felt that you were cursed by me in that car accident. It just happened."
As she spoke, she laughed to herself: "You don't know, I even went to Putuo Temple to burn incense for a week."
Liang Sheng's eyes were light, "You've never been superstitious, haven't you?"
I thought to myself, she is not superstitious, she simply cares about Liang Sheng. Because I care, I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn’t exist.
Wei Lan covered her face and smiled, "I blame myself. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I would really not be able to feel at ease my whole life."
Liang Sheng pursed her lips and smiled, then took a piece of vegetables and put it in her mouth to chew.
Wei Lan thought about it and then spoke: "But I heard that someone saved you and you were fine. How about it? Did you find that person later?"
Liang Sheng didn't like others to pry into his thoughts, unless it was someone very close to him. When I first got together with him, he didn't tell me about the car accident. Later, when he learned that Director Qin had told me, and my relationship with him became closer, he confessed to me.
Wei Lan could talk about this matter to Liang Sheng without any scruples, either because she didn't know that Liang Sheng was taboo about this matter, or because her relationship with Liang Sheng was such that she didn't need to scruple about it.
Liang Sheng paused with the chopsticks in his hand. After a few seconds, he shook his head and replied, "Not yet."
Wei Lan had a regretful expression on her face, "Do you need help?"
Liang Sheng didn't hesitate now, "No, it's all in the past."
Wei Lan was a little surprised, thought for a while and said, "It seems that you have changed a lot in the years since we haven't seen each other."
Liang Sheng met her gaze and said, "Everyone changes, and you are completely different from before."
For my boyfriend and my childhood sweetheart female friends to exchange pleasantries like this, I couldn't feel any better.
Xuanxuan's eyes were always on my face, and she would wink at me from time to time, gesturing for me to speak.
I didn't speak. Firstly, I didn't think it was necessary. Liang Sheng didn't have much enthusiasm for her. If I talked too much, I would be frightened. Secondly, I couldn't get in touch with their topic. I didn't know what to say, so it was better not to say anything.
"Yes." Wei Lan sighed meaningfully, then cheered up and said, "How can we do this without wine? Waiter, please open my bottle of Hennessy XO."
