Meng Ke stood aside, watching the three of them laughing. She had never thought of anything beyond her own world, so she didn't feel left out. She had a faint smile on her face, happy for Ji Su's happiness, and also happy for Wen Liang's return.
In this high school era with Xu Yao, Ji Suning and Xiao Ning, many girls seem to be suppressed under the brilliant light of the three of them, from red flowers to green leaves, from high above to insignificant. But if there is one person, who is not outstandingly beautiful and has no proud family background, but still blooms with her own unique color in these fleeting three years of high school.
That person must be Meng Ke!
With a gentle personality, she never makes her friends feel uncomfortable. Seeing Ji Su and Xu Yao talking to each other, and temporarily not having time to care about Meng Ke, she smiled at her and said, "I was planning to take advantage of Xu Yao's favor and invite everyone to go to Su Hai to have some fun, listen to music, pick some tea, and then go to Taihu Lake to feast. But I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I have to take an exam on Saturday. It's really true that man proposes, God disposes! Wait until next time. Next time there is a chance, Meng Ke, you must not be absent."
Meng Ke felt warm in his heart, but wrinkled his nose and deliberately made an angry expression, saying: "I can tell you're not sincere right away. When have you ever chosen the monthly exam on the weekends? You just think we're a burden, right?"
Wen Liang raised his right hand and said with a smile: "God is my conscience, I even got ten tickets. Not to mention adding you, Ren Yi, and Zhihe, even if you all bring your families, there is still more than enough."
Meng Ke blushed and said, "I thought it was all with you..."
Ji Su heard the conversation between the two and realized that he had forgotten Meng Ke in his excitement. Thanks to Wen Liang's carefulness, he gave Meng Ke a grateful glance, hugged Meng Ke's waist, and said with a smile: "Meng'er, you are right. He may not know how the monthly exam is conducted!"
Xu Yao also joined in the fun and said, "Monthly exam? He might have even forgotten which direction the door of Class 3 opens!"
As a mature man, he must seriously experience the happiness of being teased by a group of women. Wen Liang remained calm and allowed them to tease him. When he left, he reminded Meng Ke, "If Teacher Ye makes any move, remember to inform me. I'm grateful for your kindness. I'll treat you to a big meal later!"
He hadn't met Ye Yuting yet when he returned to school this time, and Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning didn't need to go through her to ask for leave, but Ji Su couldn't avoid it anyway, so he could only make up a reason to fool around first. Just in case, it was very important to let Meng Ke, who was countless times more careful than Ren Yi, be the traitor.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Meng Ke watched the three people leave together, and suddenly cried out, turned around and ran to window number eight with the fast food cup in hand. If he was any later, there would be no soup left.
Wen Liang and Xu Yao arrived outside the school first and walked straight to a silver-gray limited edition Grand Cherokee (Limited) parked on the side of the road. This was a 1995 model with a 5.1-liter V8 engine, Selec-Trac full-time four-wheel drive system, professional leather seats, electric doors and windows and cruise control, as well as air conditioning and high-end audio. It was a combination of domineering and luxurious, powerful and endurance.
Xu Yao exclaimed, reached out and touched the car body, and said, "It's so beautiful, where did you get it?"
Wen Liang didn't expect Xu Yao to like this big car. He smiled and said, "I borrowed it from a friend. Whether we can get to Wuzhou in time today depends on it!"
Viper got down from the driver's seat, stood aside with his hands folded respectfully, pointed at him and said gently, "I have another friend who is being asked to be our driver today."
Xu Yao nodded obediently and said, "Sorry for the trouble!"
The snake had his leg broken by the Buddha's kick on Tianlou Mountain. After more than a month of recuperation, he was almost fully recovered. When Wen Liang introduced him as a friend, he felt very excited. However, his temperament was always cold, and his expression did not change. He bowed slightly to Xu Yao and said, "I don't deserve it, it's my due!"
A few minutes later, Ning Xiaoning and Ji Su came out of the campus together. They must have just bumped into each other. Ji Su's face was a little excited and nervous, but Ning Xiaoning's expression was not as obvious as hers, but it was also a little different from usual. Wen Liang put his hands in his pockets, stood on one leg, bent the other leg backwards, leaned against the car, turned his head and looked at Xu Yao who was leaning against the car in the same posture. Her profile was soft and clear, her smooth skin was flawless, and she always had a warm smile. Under her coquettish appearance, she had the kindest heart.
He once promised to protect her eternal happiness, but now, Wen Liang himself doesn’t know if she is happy.
Feeling the gentle gaze, Xu Yao turned her head. Her face under the sun could make the coldest heart boil. She said, "Ask me about school. Don't worry about others. Just be happy." She raised her chin and said to Ji Ning and the others who were walking in the distance, "In fact, every time I think of my high school years with them, that is my happiest moment!"
Wen Liang stared at her for a moment, then suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair, saying with a smile, "Silly girl!"
Xu Yao rolled her eyes and pouted, "Don't talk to me like a pug..."
Ji Su and Ning Xiaoning both had smooth sailing in applying for leave, which is also the advantage of being a good student. They generally don't lie, and it is easy to gain the teacher's trust by lying occasionally. But for someone like Wen Liang who applies for leave more often than he eats, it would be difficult for him to make up excuses, not to mention getting the teacher to approve it straightforwardly!
After the gathering, the three girls went to the back. Wen Liang sat in the passenger seat, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go, to Wuzhou!"
"Let's go to Wuzhou!"
The car window rolled down, and Xu Yao waved her hands excitedly. Her emotions also infected Ji Su and Ning Xiaoning, and they shouted at the same time: "Wuzhou, we are here!"
Youth is not only about the tenderness of spring water, but also about the shyness of turning back.
Youth allows you and me to indulge ourselves once in a while during our days of following the rules!
They drove quickly all the way, with Wen Liang taking over the driving for a while. At six o'clock in the evening, the Grand Cherokee drove into Wuzhou City.
Buy water chestnuts at the night market, The spring boat is loaded with silk and satin, The water flows for eighteen miles, To take you to Wuzhou.
This is an ancient water town full of history and humanities. Every street and lane, every brick and tile, has feelings and touches that cannot be found elsewhere. This is the first time for the three girls to come to Wuzhou. Looking at the city at night through the car window, the fatigue of a day's journey disappeared in an instant. There were exclamations and shouts from time to time in the car. Wen Liang acted as a temporary tour guide. He could introduce almost everything that caught the girls' attention. Finally, Xu Yao couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "When did you become an expert in Wuzhou?"
"Don't you know that every boy who grew up watching martial arts has a dream about Jiangnan in his heart? On a misty autumn day, a white horse suddenly ran across the bluestone slabs in the fog, stepping on raindrops. The plain-clothed woman leaning against the door and looking into the distance had a face as red as a peach. Following the hoofprints of the distant white horse, she hurriedly ran into the rain with her skirt lifted, but fell to the ground. I don't know if it was raindrops or tears on her face, and she choked with sobs..."
The three of them were listening intently, but Wen Liang was keeping it a secret. Xu Yao pushed his shoulder and said angrily, "What are you dawdling about? Tell me now."
"Okay, I'll tell you," Wen Liang showed a sad expression, which made the three girls' hearts flutter. "The woman choked up and said: Even if you look as handsome as Hero Wen Liang, you still have to pay for the meal!"
The car suddenly fell into a terrible silence. Xu Yao shouted "Hit him" first, and then his fists fell like beans. Even Ning Xiaoning, who never bothered to do such things, couldn't help but hit him.
But I have to say one more thing, this really hurts!
When they arrived at the most famous Wangyue Tower in Wuzhou, it was lunchtime and the place was packed with people. There was no empty seat at all. Xu Yao looked around and shook her head, saying, "Let's go somewhere else. If we have to wait for half a day, we might miss the concert."
Wen Liang glanced at Viper, who said quickly, "We have already booked a seat. I think everything will be ready by now. We won't waste any time."
Xu Yao knew that Wen Liang had made all the preparations in advance, so she patted his shoulder and praised him, "Little Wen, you are very capable. I will reward you with a piece of braised pork later!"
Wen Liang covered his forehead and said, "Sister, we finally got to go on a long journey, can you take the braised pork out of your diet?"
Xu Yao was surprised and asked, "Why, there is no braised pork in Suzhou cuisine?"
Ji Su smiled and said, "Su cuisine also has braised pork, but it is said that more sugar is added, so it tastes too sweet, but it will make you fat."
Xu Yao made a difficult choice and sighed, "Okay, no more braised pork, just try something casually. What's so delicious about this?"
Wen Liang looked at Ji Su and said with a smile: "You have to ask Ji Su about this. You have never been to Wuzhou, but you seem to know a lot about Su cuisine."
"My grandmother's family used to be in Suhai, but later moved to Jiangdong. After a few years, there were no relatives here, so she never came back."
After Ji Su explained it, Wen Liang suddenly understood. No wonder Su Rui always had the charm and aftertaste of a Jiangnan woman. It turned out that she was half Su Hai's blood.
"When you come to Wuzhou, you must go to Wangyue Tower to try the squirrel mandarin fish. It is freshest and most authentic in this month." Ji Su stuck out his tongue, showing a rare cute look, and said, "I have only heard my grandmother talk about it a few times, so I don't know if it tastes good."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "You'll know if it tastes good or not after you try it!"
The world-famous Squirrel Fish was indeed worthy of its reputation. Everyone enjoyed a delicious Suzhou cuisine, rested for a while, and then saw that it was almost time, so they drove straight to Wuzhou Sports Center.
There, Jacky Cheung fans from several provinces in Jiangdong and even across the country have gathered, ready to spend a passionate sleepless night together.
There, there is light, shouting, and idols.
That place is destined to become the collective memory of countless people born in the 1980s. Many years later, they will still remember it.
That night,
I saw my dream! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued)
