Everyone sitting at the table had their own thoughts. Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong were thinking about how to produce all kinds of dog food for their future sweet life; Qin Mu and Shang Youxuan were observing the two's movements in the hope of finding more evidence; Zhou Yiwen, the old monk, was in a state of meditation and doing two things at once, wanting to listen to some stories to accumulate materials while thinking about the script adaptation; only Qin Hanlin, a husband-showing maniac, was showing off her husband with true feelings.
Qin Hanlin said that he had to correct it. He and Zhan Tan did not know each other during the field trip, but were high school classmates in different classes in the same school. Qin Mu's attention was drawn back. She didn't expect that her information was wrong! Thinking about it, she was not born at that time. It was normal that Qin Hanlin didn't tell her about these old things.
Xia Yitong thought that this was reasonable. When Qin Hanlin told her the story before, he used the time period thirty years ago. Qin Hanlin is not yet fifty, but in his forties. Thirty years ago was exactly when he was in high school.
Qin Hanlin and Zhan Tan met at a school's cultural evening party. Zhan Tan was very famous in school. He was so handsome that he was a model for magazine covers in high school. Even though he was taciturn and didn't come to school often, he still had a lot of fans and became the top of the school's top boys. Qin Hanlin was another type of school boy. Bad boys always had a market, especially among middle school students. A gentle boy with a bad smile was the most popular.
Qin Hanlin was so arrogant. He heard that there was a guy named Zhan Tan in the school who was as handsome as him. Of course, Qin Hanlin didn't know at that time that his handsomeness was mostly due to his personality. In terms of face, he was far ahead. In short, he was very unconvinced.
In his senior year of high school, Qin Hanlin heard that Zhan Tan, who had always been a loner, was going to perform at the school's cultural evening party. He could not sit still and went too. He knew how to take pictures and had pretty good skills, so he volunteered to be the videographer for the evening party and brought his own camera. The school thought about it and agreed.
It was on that day that he first met Zhan Tan, the elusive man who was famous for his face.
Zhan Tan participated in a group program called a fashion show. Men and women came out one by one, walking and jumping. Qin Hanlin was almost asleep in the audience until Zhan Tan came on stage. Qin Hanlin was awakened by the screams from the audience. Zhan Tan was wearing a very ordinary blue work suit. His collar was washed white, and his hair was styling mousse. All the hair on his forehead was gathered back, and his forehead was full. It can be said that his outfit was neither fish nor fowl, but he was also handsome in a unique way.
Qin Hanlin was born a gay, and he didn't have so many messy concepts. He was still studying in Hong Kong at that time. From the first time he saw Zhan Tan, he knew that this person was his cup of tea, and he wanted to be with him. He forgot the purpose of coming here to compete for handsomeness, and he didn't want the camera, so he threw it to an unknown classmate who was closest to him. As soon as Zhan Tan finished his performance, he ran backstage.
Qin Hanlin watched him change his clothes, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and leave from the backstage exit. He followed closely, blocking Zhan Tan in a deserted place, and pressed against the wall against Zhan Tan, who was half a head taller than him: "Hello, my name is Qin Hanlin, another handsome guy in our school. We should keep the wealth within the family, otherwise..." He pointed at the other person, then at himself, and grinned, "Can we digest each other?"
Everyone was amused and shocked. That was thirty years ago. How could Qin Hanlin have such courage? Even now, this straightforward confession is unique.
Lu Yinbing immediately lowered her head in shame. Her self-proclaimed bold words, "Let's fall in love?" were nothing compared to Qin Hanlin's.
Qin Mu got angry when he thought of Ji Weibai's nagging personality that couldn't even get a fart out of him, and he drank half a glass of red wine in hatred.
Shang Youxuan thought to himself that although he was a little slow, he was making rapid progress.
Zhou Yiwen was single, too absorbed in writing to fall in love, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate some dog food, no, peanuts, and asked, "Did Mr. Zhan agree?"
Qin Hanlin glanced at everyone and said quietly, "He said that I still have three months to go before I become an adult, so I won't consider this kind of thing for the time being."
Zhou Yi heard the sound of peanuts being chewed and said, "Is this a polite refusal?"
Qin Hanlin had a gloomy face at first, whetting everyone's appetite, then suddenly smiled triumphantly: "I thought so at first, but on the day of my coming of age, he knocked on the door of my dormitory, cough." His cough was very meaningful, and even had a little bit of other color.
The entire box fell eerily quiet.
Xia Yitong poured water for Lu Yinbing, and the water overflowed the edge of the cup without her noticing. The chopsticks that Lu Yinbing was using to pick up food stopped in mid-air. Qin Mu and Shang Youxuan stopped making eye contact, and Zhou Yi stopped chewing peanuts when he heard the news. It was obvious that the single dogs had received a huge shock.
Everyone looked at Qin Hanlin, and a thought came to their mind: I didn’t expect President Zhan to be such a President Zhan.
"What are you thinking about, one by one," Qin Hanlin raised his hand to pinch out the yellow bubbles in the air, and said, "He knocked on my dormitory door and handed me a note, asking me to go to the back mountain of our school to watch the sunset."
Zhou Yiwen said expressionlessly: “Then you will sit together in the back hills…” His omissions were more meaningful.
Qin Hanlin picked up a peanut and threw it at him.
Zhou Yiwen: "You can't watch the sunset without a blanket, but you bring a blanket with you? This doesn't make sense."
Everyone: “…”
I didn’t expect that Editor Zhou is also such a person.
This meal allowed everyone to see each other's true colors. Zhou Yiwen was toasted by several people in succession. After drinking, he immediately became angry. He stopped talking and ate peanuts alone.
The atmosphere was harmonious. Xia Yitong asked, "Director Qin, isn't it said that you are from Hong Kong? You speak Cantonese like us, so how can you be Mr. Qin's uncle?" And the Mandarin he spoke now was obviously very standard.
Qin Hanlin took a sip of wine. "Oh, well, my dad did business in Hong Kong for a few years, and I followed him there. I went to high school and returned to the mainland after graduation. Didn't I break up with my family later? In addition, Zhan Tan is a Hong Konger, and I also focused my career on Hong Kong, so I called myself a Hong Konger to the outside world."
Xia Yitong: "Obey your husband after marriage?"
Qin Hanlin liked this word very much: "Yes, yes, yes."
Lu Yinbing poked Xia Yitong's thigh and said, "Can you call yourself a Beijinger from now on? Once you marry, you must obey your wife."
Xia Yitong pinched her fingers secretly and frowned at her. What was she talking about? Jian Tianer was thinking of ways to tease her.
Lu Yinbing smiled and continued to ask: "When will you marry me?"
Xia Yitong shuddered violently, and asked calmly, "What did you say?"
Lu Yinbing smiled, a smile that was a little uninhibited and unrestrained, and raised her eyebrows: "I say, when are you going to marry me?"
Is this a proposal? Is it? Yes, the knight finally proposed to the princess! She saved him for so long, and they lived happily together. She finally remembered to propose!
Xia Yitong was roaring in her heart, almost bursting into tears, her face almost burnt by the excitement and anxiety. She fanned herself and said, "It's a bit hot here, let's go back and talk about it."
After Xia Yitong finished speaking, she immediately slapped herself in the face. What did she mean by let's talk about it when we get back? She should have agreed right away and gone back to discuss getting the certificate and preparing the wedding guest list and other details. What else was she talking about
She stared at Lu Yinbing's lips, hoping that she would ask again, so that she would definitely and affirmatively answer her: "Now, immediately, right away, let's go and get married. We don't need to eat. I will pay for the dowry, and you don't need to give a betrothal gift!"
It can be said that she is very eager to get married.
Lu Yinbing looked at her quietly for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
Xia Yitong heard a thump in her heart, and she wanted to bury herself along with the things that fell. According to Lu Yinbing's memory, she didn't hope that he would still remember this incident.
Qin Hanlin at the table was still reminiscing about his glorious years. Zhou Yiwen was looking at his eyes and nose, and no one knew what he was thinking. Qin Mu and Shang Youxuan were supporting Qin Hanlin.
Lu Yinbing was teasing Xia Yitong, but Xia Yitong seemed a little absent-minded and looked depressed.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
With a "pop" sound, Zhou Yiwen slapped his chopsticks, stood up straight, his eyes were obviously unfocused, and he left the table like a wandering soul: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first." After saying this, he opened the door and went out, without even a trace of his figure.
Several people were shocked. Qin Hanlin burped and said, "I came up with a good idea and went home to write a script. He is always like this."
Everyone exclaimed, coming back to their senses from the sudden change. Xia Yitong's sadness was interrupted and she felt much better. Lu Yinbing took a new plate and put some dessert in it. Xia Yitong shook her head to indicate that she was full.
After Zhou Yiwen suddenly left the table, Qin Hanlin received a phone call and reported the box number. Not long after, a man in a suit and tie knocked on the door. It was the protagonist of the discussion at the dinner table, Zhan Tan. Zhan Tan had completely withdrawn from the entertainment industry and concentrated on business, but his temperament remained unchanged. He was gentlemanly, with deep and charming eyes, and greeted everyone present with a smile.
Zhan Tan went over to help Qin Hanlin. Qin Hanlin stood up and took Zhan Tan's arm. He leaned on Zhan Tan drunkenly, shook his head and said, "My husband is here to pick me up. I want to go home."
Zhan Tan put his hand on his shoulder and nodded politely: "Everyone, please go first."
After talking about business and small matters, Qin Mu pulled Shang Youxuan, Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong together. The five of them said goodbye to each other and went home. Xia Yitong stared at Zhan Tan and Qin Hanlin for a long time before looking away.
Lu Yinbing asked: "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Xia Yitong turned his eyes away and saw Shang Youxuan again, or to be exact, Shang Youxuan's hand. His expression suddenly changed slightly.
Director Qin and Mr. Zhan have wedding rings, and Sister Youxuan also wears an engagement ring on her finger. Sister Youxuan and Mr. Qiao have been together for a shorter time than she has.
She lowered her eyes to look at her fingers without any pendant and sighed.
