The waiter put the opened Hennessy in a wine rack and placed it on the table. He added six wine glasses. Wei Lan pretended to pour the wine. Shi Qian stood up and said, "I'll do it."
Wei Lan didn't refuse and said calmly, "Pour it for Miss Shen first."
I glanced at her and wondered why I was so deliberately emphasizing. She didn't look at me, her eyes switched randomly between the faces of several other people. Shi Qian poured the wine for me in a very gentlemanly manner, and I nodded next to the glass.
Liang Sheng said, "She doesn't know how to drink. Give her a drink."
Weilan looked at me with a very complicated look, like jealousy and surprise. I thought that if I didn't drink at this time, if I didn't show respect to Weilan, it would make me look stingy. It’s not like he has a rich body, so it’s okay to drink some wine. I said out loud: "It doesn't matter, I'll just drink less."
Liang Sheng looked at me and didn't say much. His eyes were thoughtful, and he was probably trying to figure out my heart.
In fact, there is no need to speculate, my mood is written on my face.
Wei Lan smiled and said, "Miss Shen is quite cheerful, unexpectedly. Let's have a drink together."
While she was talking, Shi Qian had already poured wine for everyone.
Wei Lan clinked glasses with each of us as a master, but ignored the change of time. Shi Qian didn't look good, but he was still willing. Although the impression he gave me at the annual meeting was not very good, his cautiousness towards Wei Lan made me feel inexplicably sympathetic. Maybe I also have the same feelings for Liang Sheng in my heart, but I am not as obvious as he made it appear. That's all, plus Liang Sheng didn't give me this chance.
"Celebrating my reunion with Liang Sheng, we will all be friends from now on, and I hope we can take care of each other." Every word of Wei Lan is soft and beautiful, which complements her sweet appearance. Such a woman is actually irresistible, but she and Liang Sheng Sheng's relationship made me a little afraid, and a barrier was erected between me and her.
She and I are destined to not be on the same side.
There was some hesitation in my glass of wine. Liang Sheng looked at me intentionally and whispered, "Drink less."
"Yes." I nodded and drank together with them.
I can drink eight pounds of liquor with over 50 degrees of alcohol content, let alone just a few glasses of Hennessy.
Wei Lan was always paying attention to Liang Sheng's attitude towards me. When she saw that Liang Sheng cared about me, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to care about others. I remember that there used to be a female classmate in your class who chased you and waited in the rain. You spent several hours just to have a few words with you, and we all advised you to go over and take a look, but you just said three words, 'It's not necessary'. At that time, we all thought you were very hard-hearted."
This is in line with Liang Sheng's style. When I first met him, he also gave me this feeling.
Liang Sheng smiled slightly and replied casually: "If I ran over and cared about every girl who chased me like her, I wouldn't have to go to class, eat, drink or sleep."
Sometimes I admire Liang Sheng's arrogance, which is a bit conceited, but it is not annoying at all, but it is still a style. But now the thing I admire most has also become the essence in the eyes of others. I lowered my head and took a sip of wine without saying anything.
Wei Lan laughed heartily: "Yes, yes, you said that before. Now that you have a girlfriend, are there still as many people chasing you as before?"
Xuanxuan couldn't bear to listen anymore, and started to engage in guerrilla warfare with Wei Lan again, "Of course not. Not everyone knows that the other person has a girlfriend and still shamelessly sticks to her."
Xuanxuan's insinuation was a bit obvious, so I glanced at her and signaled her not to talk like that. Xuanxuan flattened her mouth and ignored me.
Wei Lan seemed not to notice the feeling, and continued to maintain a sweet smile, "That's right, after all, it's not as cool as when you were single."
She raised her wine glass and faced me, "Miss Shen must be outstanding to make Liang Sheng devote himself to you."
My eyes were in a trance, thinking, how did she know that Liang Sheng was devoted to me? Why didn't I know it myself
Thinking of this, I happily raised my glass and accepted her invitation, "Miss Wei Lan is so complimentary. I'm just an ordinary working class person."
"Ms. Shen is being humble. When it comes to part-time jobs, who among us is not?" She clinked glasses with me, then took a sip of wine and continued: "You are Liang Sheng's girlfriend, which is also my friend. Let's not see each other outside." , just call me Wei Lan, I’ll call you Shen Yan.”
"Okay." I drank the wine and put the glass back on the table.
Compared with Chen Shulei, Wei Lan's cultivation is relatively high, at least she didn't ask me for a drink.
Afterwards we chatted about irrelevant topics for a while, Wei Lan answered the phone, Shi Qian spoke first and said he had to leave first because he had something to do, and then we dispersed.
Wei Lan's call came back from Qiao Wan, and the two chatted for several minutes. Judging from her tone, Qiao Wan probably liked her quite a bit, and probably even invited her to her home. I didn't say anything, thinking that if Qiao Wan and I lived together, if Wei Lan came to the house and saw that Liang Sheng and I were "living together", would she regret being close to Liang Sheng
Shi Qian and Wei Lan walked in two directions. After seeing them off, Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It almost kills me. I haven't had such a fake smile for a long time."
I glanced at Xuanxuan. On the surface I was scolding her for being rude, but in my heart I was praising her. She was talking nonsense.
Liang Sheng didn't mind and asked Chu Jin directly: "Where do you plan to go?"
Chu Jin looked tired again: "Where else can we go? Go home. Where are you?"
Liang Sheng looked back at me, meaning to listen to me. I replied numbly: "I can do either."
"Then you go back first, let's go for a drive." Liang Sheng's eyes were clear, his hands were in his pockets, and he looked lazy and casual.
Chu Jin smiled slyly again, "Capricorns have also learned to be romantic."
"I want to go for a ride too!" Xuanxuan grabbed the hem of Chu Jin's clothes and shook it vigorously. Chu Jin looked like he wanted to bite off his own tongue. He lowered his head and said, "Go for a ride! Let's go home from here!"
"Chu Jin!" Chu Jin ran away in a flash, Xuanxuan stamped her feet angrily, waved at us and quickly chased after us.
Liang Sheng put his arm around my shoulders and walked towards the parking lot. I looked up at his profile and asked, "Aren't you drunk?"
The implication is that you can still go for a ride after drinking.
Liang Sheng winked at me and said playfully: "It doesn't matter if I drink. The police have gone home to celebrate the New Year, so no one will arrest me."
".People like you should go to jail!" Over time, I got used to sarcastic him like this, but compared to other venomous tongues, it was obvious that I was not accomplished enough.
I got in the car and rolled the lathe to the lowest position. The wind in Haicheng was warm during the day and cool at night when it wasn't raining. I just drank some wine and the wind felt very good at this time. A feeling of emptiness.
I leaned back lazily, following the retreating coconut trees with a dull gaze, overwhelmed.
Liang Sheng turned on the car CD and played a soothing old song. Liang Sheng broke the silence and asked me: "Were you jealous just now?"
"Huh? When?" I really wanted to not show any jealousy from the beginning to the end. Although I admitted that I did feel a little uncomfortable, it was not as exaggerated as jealousy.
Liang Sheng seemed to be in a good mood and said teasingly: "Then I won't let you drink. You just drink anyway. Why are you so competitive?"
"Pfft. It's just a few glasses of wine, what a competition. Can I say that I haven't drank Hennessy, I just want to have a taste?" I wasn't lying. Although this was not the main reason for drinking, I It is true that I have never drank Hennessy, but I have tasted Remy Martin.
Liang Sheng was very dissatisfied with my answer. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated. The Land Rover was speeding on the road around the sea. The sea breeze blew in, making him feel refreshed.
"You don't want to know what my relationship is with her?" Liang Sheng asked me tentatively.
If he hadn't asked, I wouldn't have opened my mouth. Since he asked, I just asked, "What's the relationship?"
Liang Sheng nodded with satisfaction. After the speed of the car stabilized, he had a free hand, his elbow supported the steering wheel, and his hand supported his chin. His slender fingers rubbed his chin rhythmically, and his thin lips accentuated this action. Extremely charming.
"She is the one waiting for me in the rain." He said calmly.
