"Why is he here?" Cao Yang asked after getting into the car.
Xia Rou replied: "His sister shares the same dormitory with me."
It sounds like a pretty normal reason. Cao Yang couldn't say anything either.
But he remembered the way Xia Rou and Liang Zihuan looked at each other in the evening just now... He asked her if there was anything wrong with her, but she shook her head and denied it, and dragged him away. She obviously didn't want him to have any contact with Liang Zihuan.
Cao Yang remembered the piece of paper he stuffed into the shredder again. His hand holding the steering wheel couldn't help but tighten tightly.
As for Liang Zihuan, he didn't want to mention it again.
It just so happened that Xia Rou didn't want to mention it anymore.
Then no one spoke.
At the red light intersection, he turned his head and glanced at her. It was found that she was leaning on the car door with her arms, poking her cheeks, and looking out of the car window...
On the same night, Lu Jialan still had a bad face at home.
Her mother is such an only child, and her husband died young, so she loves her in every possible way. Later, although she found a handsome new husband who was several years younger than her, although the new husband wanted her to have another child, but for the sake of her only daughter, she refused.
"What's the matter, who made our Jiajia angry!" She asked with a smile. "Arguing with your roommate? Then don't live on campus, and go home every day. It's not too far away."
"No, the roommates are all fine." Lu Jialan said in a depressed mood.
Her mother asked, "What's the matter? Tell Mom!"
Lu Jialan poked at the rice in the bowl, remembering that her cousin wanted to say a few words to Xia Rou and asked her to take a taxi back first... she felt very unhappy.
She can understand what her cousin told her. But all in all... psychologically, it is still difficult to digest for a while. There is always an unpleasant feeling stuck there.
She poked around with her chopsticks, she was only eighteen or nine years old, couldn't hold back her words, put down her chopsticks, and complained: "It's all my brother..."
So he told her mother about Liang Zihuan's falling in love with Xia Rou.
In these matters, older people are easier to accept, especially when it comes to nephews. Her mother said: "Since this is the case, you should get along well with that Xia and don't spoil your brother's business."
This woman was able to figure out what was going on with her nephew and her daughter's petty temper.
Lu Jialan actually knew it in her heart, she was nagging, and it didn't feel so unpleasant when she said it. Then nodded: "I know, I'm not that stupid."
Her mother tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks: "What's the girl's name?"
"Xiarou!" Lu Jialan said. The same surname as her stepfather.
"Xia... Rou...?" Her mother was slightly puzzled, "Why does it sound familiar... I seem to have heard it somewhere?"
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember.
Then it entered November, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
The drama club has started to rehearse the repertoire for the New Year's Day performance. Xia Rou is a newcomer, so it stands to reason that she should do odd jobs first in the first year. Or play a tree, a mountain or something to fill the background.
But Xia Rou is beautiful. In order not to waste her good looks and attract more viewers, acting president Zou Yue decided to give her a role. Xiarou was very happy.
After returning home, he proudly showed off to Cao Yang and Cao Anchou.
"However, starting from this week, I have to rehearse every Saturday. I just thought that I would not come back on Friday night and come back on Saturday." She said.
"What time does rehearsal start on Saturday?" Cao Yang asked.
"nine thirty."
What's the rush at 9:30, Cao Yang grinds his teeth. Make a decision: "Come back for dinner on Friday, and ask Xiao Yang to drive you there on Saturday morning."
"Huh? I still want to sleep late!"
"You're so young, why don't you sleep late." The elder brother scolded mercilessly.
Xia Rou thought that she had clearly expressed her rejection to Liang Zihuan. But she forgot that besides being smart, Liang Zihuan was also a very persevering person.
A week later, she received flowers from him. She wanted to throw it, but her roommates stopped her.
"Don't! What a waste!" Everyone said, unraveling the big bouquet, dividing it into several small bunches, cutting off a few big Coke bottles and putting them in the dormitory.
Very good, it beautifies the dormitory, and it can be regarded as waste utilization.
Later, I received a call from Liang Zihuan, saying that the flower was a compensation for her.
She asked him where he got her number, but he told the truth that he asked Lu Jialan to help him find out.
"I think my attitude has been expressed very clearly," she said.
Liang Zihuan was silent for a while, and asked, "Can't you give me a chance?"
"It's not an opportunity." She said, "It's what you want, and I can't give it at all."
Liang Zihuan's sigh came from the phone. He said, "Xia Rou, you are very special."
"It would be great if we didn't start like this." There was regret in his words.
Xia Rou's eye sockets suddenly became wet.
"It's the same no matter how it starts." She said, "Forcing inappropriate people to be together will not lead to good results."
"Please, don't call me again, don't contact me again," she said.
Her tone was very serious, not the attitude of an ordinary girl rejecting a suitor. This made Liang Zihuan depressed for a while.
"Okay, excuse me... goodbye," he said.
She hung up the phone.
When I got home on Friday, I didn't say a word.
Cao Yang said to her, "I'm about to perform a mission, and I may not be able to return until December."
Xia Rou thought for a long time, but she didn't remember that he had this task in her previous life. Obviously at this time, he should be busy preparing for the wedding in a few months.
Too many things have changed in the past and present life, and she can't figure it out no matter how she thinks about it. Just don't think about it.
Just ask, "Is there any danger?"
The big eyes were wide open, with a hint of tension and concern. Apparently, the shock from that mission a few years ago left an imprint on her heart.
There was a smile in Cao Yang's eyes.
"No," he said, "a friendly exchange abroad."
Xia Rou breathed out: "That's good."
Cao Yang rubbed her head: "Don't worry."
"Don't rub it all the time, it's all messed up." Xia Rou muttered, "I'm no longer a child. Just rub it!"
It is true that she is no longer a child. When he pressed her head, she leaned over, and the big V-neck of the sweater let out a gleam of spring.
When Mingming came to the house that year, he was still thin and weak, with a flat chest. When did the chest become soft and puff up like a blow
Cao Yang stared at it for a while, then looked away...
According to Cao Yang's arrangement, Xiao Yang will pick up Xiarou by car on Saturday.
Xia Rou's character is a vicious female supporting role, she doesn't have many lines, but it's not difficult. It's just that I haven't been able to see the leading actor. I heard that foreign aid has been invited, but it hasn't arrived yet.
So let the substitute boys go first.
"Why are you looking for someone from outside?" Xia Rou asked during the break.
"Senior Brother Wei!" The eyes of the girl who was asked lit up, "I came here for friendship once last year! As a result, the drama last year was a hit!"
"Senior Brother Wei's acting skills are really good!" Someone interjected, "No one is dissatisfied with his acting as the male lead."
"Is it a senior who has graduated from our school?" Zhuang Xiao asked curiously.
The girls laughed and went to see Senior Sister Zou Yue.
With a blush on Zou Yue's face, she explained: "No, he is a brother of my high school drama club. He was our president in high school. He went abroad later, but we have always been in touch, and he loves drama very much... last year I heard that he had just returned to China, so I contacted him and asked him if he would like to give advice to everyone, and he came. As a result, Senior Sister Fang thought he was too suitable for that drama, and wanted to ask him to be a foreign aid, so he agreed."
She added: "He's really good at acting. Last year our show was a big hit. A lot of school girls came. He didn't come again for the rehearsal later, and many people asked about him. This time he originally said I'm busy, I won't come, I begged again and again, and he agreed."
"Brother Wei has found a job now?"
"I found it early, I found it last year."
"where?"
Zou Yue just mentioned the name of a big state-owned enterprise, no matter boys or girls, couldn't help admiring.
Only Xia Rou's hand holding the script trembled.
In her previous life, Cao Yang had arranged her at the headquarters of that big state-owned enterprise. The salary is generous and the work is leisurely. In a company like that, there are indeed some idlers like her who earn high wages but don't do much work.
Of course, at the same time, there are also many real elites.
My surname is Wei, I came back from studying abroad, I like drama...
Could it be... him
No, it won't be such a coincidence. Xia Rou comforted herself.
A lot of people like drama, there are too many people with the surname Wei...how could they meet by such a coincidence... Wei Qi...
"Brother Wei is a bit busy, and may only be able to participate in the last two rehearsals, but don't worry, I've given him the script, and he'll be fine. Then you'll know about a pair of plays." Zou Yue said to a newcomer to the club this year Several newcomers explained.
She has full confidence in her senior brother.
When talking about him, there is a faint blush on the face, and bright light in the eyes, anyone who still can't see what she means to this "Senior Brother Wei" is a fool.
The girls laughed and teased her. Zou Yue, who is usually so cheerful, is rarely seen flushed by everyone's laughter.
Those eyes seemed to be full of spring water. Girls in love, it seems that even the face will radiate light.
Xia Rou lowered her head and looked at the script.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Xiao asked. I think Xia Rou seems to be in a low mood.
"Memorizing the lines." Xia Rou said perfunctorily.
With the north wind blowing, the temperature dropped sharply. Xia Rou is most afraid of the cold, so she wrapped herself in a down jacket early on.
Cao Yang left for almost a month, and came back in mid-December.
He's strong, he's powerful, and he's wearing nothing but his jacket. Seeing that Xia Rou was wrapped up again, she laughed loudly.
When it came to the penultimate rehearsal of the drama club, the male lead was finally in place.
At that time, Xia Rou had just entered the rehearsal room from the outside, had just untied her scarf, and was talking to Zhuang Xiao while taking off her coat.
Zou Yue led her Senior Brother Wei into the rehearsal room, and shouted at the new freshmen, "You guys, come and meet my Senior Brother!"
Senior Brother Wei came, and there was joy in her voice.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound, and looked at the long-famous Senior Brother Wei. Xia Rou took off half of her coat and turned her head to look.
The lights in the rehearsal room were bright, and Xia Rou could see clearly. When Wei Qi saw her, he was taken aback.
Then, his eyes suddenly shone like stars.
Just like what he told her in his previous life...
When the crowd saw her, they fell in love with one glance....
