With Liu Zhihe around, finding people was a piece of cake, and soon everyone was gathered, including Meng Ke, Tan Yu, Zhang Song, Ye Meng, Jiang Tao, and Beimi who happened to be there and wanted to join in the fun. Everyone had become very familiar with each other during the rehearsal for the New Year's Eve party, and when they heard that Wen Liang, who hadn't been seen for a long time, was treating them to a meal, how could they not show up together
So when Wen Yuandatou drove over, there was a spectacular scene at the school gate. More than a dozen people gathered and waited. The girls were still quite reserved, but a group of boys were not so kind. Their eyes were glowing green, and they looked like a group of hungry carnivorous dinosaurs.
"Fuck, what the hell?"
As a member of the "Theoretical Research Group on the Potential Connection between Cars and Women" of Qingyi Middle School, Ren Yi's obsession with cars is no less than his love for girls. He can give a lot of confusing statistics about almost every famous or unknown car model. Looking at Wen Liang getting off the Grand Cherokee, his drool almost fell to the ground.
Wen Liang said contemptuously: "Brother Ren, you should at least give me a straight look instead of just staring at the car."
"Brother Wen, you should know yourself. Wait until your curves are one-tenth as beautiful as Daqie's, then come and beg for my mercy!"
Xu Yao was pretending to vomit. If it were someone else, Ren Yi would definitely tease her by asking "Are you pregnant?" given her violent tendencies. However, given Xu Yao's violent tendencies, he wisely pretended not to see it.
Liu Zhihe's eyes narrowed almost to a straight line, and he said, "Boss Wen, Ren Yi has someone else in his heart now, your beauty trick will not work on him."
Wen Liang then remembered Ren Yi's plan to pick up girls and said with a smile, "Oh, that's right, our great talent Ren finally found his dream girl, how's the progress?"
Ren Yi blushed and said, "Not bad, not bad!"
Wen Liang immediately realized that things were not going well. In front of a group of girls, for the sake of Ren Yi's male dignity, he couldn't ask any more questions. This uncle still had some moral integrity. He turned around and greeted Tan Yu, saying, "How are you doing recently?"
Since Tan Yu collaborated with Wen Liang to sing "Graduate", he has become famous in school. He often receives love letters from girls, and strangers often approach him on the street. His presence is completely different from the past, and his personality has gradually changed back to the person Wen Liang knew in his previous life. He is unruly and dissolute, and a little free and easy in his vulgarity. He raised his hand to lift the slightly coquettish hair hanging on the tip of his nose and said, "I'm annoyed by being hit on by beautiful girls every day!"
"Shh!"
He was responded with middle fingers from the boys and catcalls from the girls.
Tan Yu politely cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, excuse me!"
Ren Yi had conflicts with Tan Yu before, but they were both heartless people, and the conflicts came and went quickly, and there was no grudge between them. He punched his shoulder and said in feigned anger: "Don't talk like me!"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"Still learning?"
Wen Liang was too lazy to pay attention to them. He glanced at Beimi, who was wearing plain makeup and had clear soup. She stood obediently beside Tan Yu, rubbing the corner of her clothes with her fingers. Without her usual heavy makeup, she looked so quiet that she seemed like a different person.
However, with what he had seen and heard in his previous life, Wen Liang was skeptical about whether she could change her ways. But he couldn't say anything because of Tan Yu. He nodded as a greeting, walked up to Xu Yao, and said bitterly, "This was all your idea, right? You really save me money!"
Xu Yao stuck out her tongue and smiled with great pride.
There were twelve people in total, and the Grand Cherokee could only take four people. Xu Yao, Ji Su, Ning Xiaoning and Meng Ke were just enough. Liu Zhi, Ren Yi and Tan Yu followed in two taxis. The group went to a newly opened barbecue city in the suburbs of the East District. This season was not the peak season for eating barbecue, but perhaps because of the discount activities, there were quite a few people sitting there. The exquisitely decorated first-floor lobby was bustling with people.
Since there was no reservation, the private room on the second floor was already full, so Liu Zhihe said, "Then the hall will do. What you need when you eat barbecue is the atmosphere."
Wen Liang naturally had no objection, and he found two large tables in the corner and put them together, saying with a smile: "Everyone, order whatever you want. I'm going all out today. As long as you dare to order, I'll pay for it!"
Ren Yi laughed loudly, took the menu from the waiter, and said, "You said it, comrades. It's rare for Boss Wen to be generous. Anyone who shows mercy and pretends to be a good person will be punished by drinking three cups!"
"Okay, let's do it!"
Everyone responded in unison, sitting in a circle and starting to order dishes, such as pork belly, fatty beef and lamb, the most expensive ones, quite like the old days when they were fighting against the local tyrants and dividing their land.
After ordering the dishes, the boys drank beer and the girls drank drinks. They raised their glasses high and clinked them together, saying, "Cheers!"
Youth is innocent and in the prime of life. These are words you can only truly understand after more than a decade. The girl's white clothes and the boy's smile both appeared in each other's best time when you were still young and didn't know how to cherish each other. Who was naive and superficial, who was proud and indifferent, who was inferior and who was perfect, misunderstanding, quarreling, or passing each other, or not destined to be together in this life, breaking up, dispersing, running around, spring comes and goes, his face is full of vicissitudes, her eyes are clear and hard to find, and when you meet again and raise your glass again, you will think of that year in your heart.
That year, we were young and innocent, in the prime of our life!
But that year can never go back!
Wen Liang kept toasting with everyone, listening to them talking about trivial matters on campus and making harmless jokes with each other. Occasionally, he made eye contact with Xu Yao, looking at her puffy face and her embarrassing grin from being burned, and then smiled slightly.
This is the clear spring that washes away the filth of the secular world, and it is also a ray of morning light that cleanses the unknown dark side deep in the soul. With them, lonely people walking between right and wrong will not get lost in the cold world constructed by desire and power.
I don't know how long it was, but suddenly two boys holding wine glasses came over. They were about 18 or 19 years old and dressed quite fashionably. One of them had a huge gold chain visible through his open collar. In the 1990s, this was undoubtedly the best symbol of status.
"Everyone, everyone, excuse me..."
Everyone fell silent, their eyes full of confusion, not knowing what the two were up to. Only Bemi turned pale, lowered his head and remained motionless. Wen Liang glanced at her without saying anything, then winked at Liu Zhihe. The fat man understood, frowned, and asked bluntly, "What do you do?"
Jin Lianzi shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "You are from No. 1 Middle School, right? We are from vocational high school. I see an acquaintance and come over to say hello."
