It was a sleepless night.
Meng Hang ran to her room early on Saturday morning and dragged her out of bed. The little boy looks a little big, but his strength is not small. She half opened her eyes to see that he was dressed neatly like a little prince. The little boy climbed onto the bed, pulled her quilt, and called, "Sister."
Meng Shengnan was depressed: "What time is it?"
"It's half past seven." He emphasized the accent of '了'.
"It's still early, let me sleep again."
Meng Shengnan turned over, rolled up the quilt and closed his eyes again, Meng Hang was in a hurry. He climbed out of bed and ran to the other side to call her. Meng Shengnan didn't sleep well last night and really didn't want to get up. The little boy pulled the quilt a few times and couldn't move it, so he got angry.
"sister!"
"Yeah." She replied lazily.
"You said last night that you would buy me delicious food."
Meng Shengnan said 'hmm', then fell silent again. Then there was no movement around him for a long time, Meng Shengnan felt a little strange and opened one eye. Meng Hang crossed his arms and looked at her seriously.
"Meng Shengnan?" Oh, she's been called by her name.
She waited for him to speak.
"If you're sorry, I'll call Sister Qiaoqiao."
Meng Shengnan opened the other eye.
"Let you go on a blind date."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
So she got up. Before leaving, she said hello to Shengdian, she took the spare PHS at home and went out, and then the two of them half-turned to Dexter near their home. It was eight o'clock at that time, and it was time for breakfast. Meng Shengnan smiled as Xiao Menghang ate the hamburger. Sheng Ceremony hardly takes him to eat these things, this little guy has a good idea.
The sun is out and the air is fresh.
She just lowered her head and took a piece of French fries and fed it to her mouth, when suddenly a woman in a hurry appeared in her sight. She froze for a moment, seeing Qi Qiao walking over in hot shorts and high heels with her head held high, her smile was very dynamic, and she kissed the little boy as soon as she sat down.
"How do you—" She was surprised.
Qi Qiao shook her long hair: "I have a secret messenger." Then she blinked at Meng Hang.
Meng Shengnan coughed and looked at Meng Hang: "What did you do?"
The little boy was biting the drumstick, and looked at her calmly, "Do you know you made a mistake?"
Meng Shengnan: "..."
Qi Qiao smiled and patted her hand, "It's all right, don't bully our little Hang."
"That's right." Xiao Menghang was eating happily and didn't forget to talk.
"cut."
Meng Shengnan gave them both a blank look, and asked Qi Qiao: "Why are you here today, aren't you busy these days?"
"I miss you, can't I?"
"Is it possible?"
Qi Qiao couldn't help laughing, and said seriously: "He went to Shanghai last night, and he may not be back for a few days. It seems that a brokerage company wants to sign their band, and I don't know the specifics."
"It's a good thing."
After Meng Shengnan finished speaking, he smiled: "If you think so, do you have to make an appointment to see you in the future, Mrs. Song?"
Qi Qiao glanced at her arrogantly, "It depends on my mood."
"roll."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Hang raised his head with a dissatisfied expression.
"Sister, you are swearing."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
Qi Qiao smiled, and frowned again when she thought of something: "By the way, why have you turned off the phone when I called you these two days?"
Mentioning this again, she pursed her lips.
"The phone is broken, and it has to be repaired." She took out the PHS from her pocket and shook it, "Call this number for the next two days."
"Let's do it."
Qi Qiao didn't ask any more questions, at most she just gave her a glare. After eating breakfast for more than half an hour, the three of them discussed where to go after eating. Qi Qiao is rather crazy, insisting on taking Meng Hang to the playground to play. She had no choice but to follow along.
It was hot at that time, she was too lazy to play, so she just stood outside and watched.
There are a lot of people around, maybe because it is the weekend. Inside, Qi Qiao and Meng Hang were sitting in a bumper car and colliding with each other lively. Meng Shengnan lowered his head to look for toilet paper from his bag, and suddenly a pink balloon floated under his feet. She bent down to pick it up, when a little girl ran towards her.
Meng Shengnan picked it up and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Auntie."
She smiled, and a woman's voice came to her ear. Meng Shengnan looked up, she saw a plump woman with slightly plump cheeks. The moment the two looked at each other, the woman was also taken aback. Then he slowly picked up the little girl, and then looked at her again.
"You—your daughter?" she asked.
"Yes." The woman nodded, "Dian Dian, call me Auntie."
The little girl's voice was sweet and soft.
Meng Shengnan couldn't find a suitable greeting for a while, and said, "I heard that you got married very early, how have you been these few years?"
The woman nodded lightly: "It's okay."
"That's good."
"What about you, I remember you reported the news about Zhongnan, how are you doing now?" the woman asked.
"At that time, I wanted to run away as a reporter, but my parents were getting older, so they wanted to come back."
"It's good, but the profession of journalists is also dangerous."
Meng Shengnan smiled.
"Then what are you doing now?"
"I have minored in English education in college, and I got a teacher's certificate just for fun." Meng Shengnan said, "I didn't expect to use it, so I'm a teacher now."
The woman asked, "Which school?"
"Flower mouth."
The woman smiled slightly, and changed the position of the little girl to hug her, "Very good."
Meng Shengnan licked his dry lips: "What about you, a full-time mother?"
"Um."
The little girl moved in the woman's arms, going to play on the other side. The two of them had nothing in common to talk about, and said goodbye simply, without even mentioning leaving a contact information for each other. She just stood there, looking at the woman with a bloated back in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh.
Qi Qiao led Meng Hang over and swept her gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
Meng Shengnan sighed: "My former deskmate, do you still remember that girl?"
"During my sophomore year?"
"Nie Jing."
Qi Qiao let out an 'ah', "I have a little impression, why, did we meet?"
"Yes." Meng Shengnan nodded, "Her child seems to be four years old."
"You mean—" Qi Qiao froze for a moment.
Meng Shengnan nodded.
"No, then she had a baby in her junior year?"
"should be."
Then, both of them sighed at the same time. The sun was shining hotly on the ground, and the two led the young one to walk to the commercial street opposite the playground. Qi Qiao sighed and still hasn't calmed down all the way, "Then she is really good, so I can only drop out of school in that situation?"
Meng Shengnan said he didn't know.
"Well, her youth is really over."
Meng Shengnan: "Aren't you too, a married woman?"
"Can it be the same?" Qi Qiao rolled her eyes, then lowered her head and asked Meng Hang: "Is your sister annoying?"
Meng Hang was licking the candied haws Qi Qiao bought just now, obediently making a statement.
"It's always been annoying."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
Qi Qiao couldn't stop laughing, but Meng Shengnan was speechless. The three of them wandered outside for a while and had lunch. Meng Hang finally found a weekend to play, and it was impossible to go back early. At that time, there was a new cartoon showing in the cinema, Qi Qiao would respond to what Meng Hang said, and Meng Shengnan could only obediently follow.
The air conditioner in the auditorium was fully air-conditioned, but she still felt a little hot.
Qi Qiao sat next to her and leaned over in a low voice: "Look in front of you."
She looked up and saw a young couple.
"I guess the girl must like to watch it, and the boy came with her."
Meng Shengnan: "You know all about this?"
"Be envious."
Meng Shengnan was too lazy to reply: "What do you want to say?"
"It's so exciting that I can't wake you up." Qi Qiao had no choice but to say, "Last time I introduced you to the soldier who had such good conditions that you didn't even like it. He even pulled Xiaohang to play a single mother for me. Meng Shengnan is up to it?"
"..." Is it appropriate to bring up old things again
She couldn't stand the woman's chatter, so she got up and walked out of the auditorium with a bent waist. The theater is on the fourth floor, brightly lit. She was sitting on the sofa in the hall breathing, looking up at the big screen on the wall. Movie trailers came one after another, and men and women walked by laughing and laughing.
A girl's cell phone was ringing, and the ringtone was inexplicably familiar.
'Want to get you drunk with a glass of Latte so you can love me more. You don't understand the feeling of crushing love...'
In 2006, when she was in college, Li Shengjie sang "Infatuated Absolutely". Her single was on loop for a month, and now it sounds like old times. Meng Shengnan twitched his lips with emotion, and raised his wrist to check the time. It was still early, so she went down to the clothing store on the third floor alone. The corridors were full of fashionable women in fashionable dresses. Meng Shengnan stood in front of the glass window of a shop and glanced at himself in short-sleeved cropped pants.
There was a voice coming from the store.
"Help me clean up everything that I don't use frequently in my computer."
It's a woman.
He added: "By the way, there is also that software to download for me."
Meng Shengnan shrugged and was about to leave when she heard the woman talking again.
"My computer has been running very slowly, what's going on?"
She had already stepped out and someone answered.
"Your computer configuration is poor, and the hard disk time is too long."
Meng Shengnan stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at the source of the monotonous sound. Looking in through the rows of clothes racks, there is a figure of a man. He has a broad back and quick fingers on the keyboard. She forgot to leave and just stood there.
The woman asked, "Would you like some water?"
"No need." The man's voice was very weak.
Meng Shengnan couldn't explain that feeling, and felt a little confused. Just like when she unexpectedly saw him yesterday afternoon, she couldn't calm down as soon as possible and even felt a little nervous. She liked it so much in high school, but after such a long time, she doesn't even dare to think about it now.
She took a deep breath, turned and walked away.
In the shop behind him, the man repaired the computer and came out. He went straight to the bathroom on the third floor and finished smoking a cigarette there. As soon as he stepped out, Shi Jin's call came. He put one hand on the railing on the third floor, and picked up the phone with the other, putting it to his ear.
"You're not in the store?"
The man watched the people coming and going downstairs, and said 'hmm'.
"Take a job."
Shi Jin asked, "When will you be back?"
"Twenty minutes." The man glanced at his watch, "What's the matter?"
"I know a software guy who wants to chat with you."
At that time, Meng Shengnan went to the second floor. But she didn't turn around, it was like walking along a square corridor. The whole person looked quite quiet, but his mind was in chaos. The man watched, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"You know I'm not doing that job now." He said to Shi Jin, his voice restrained.
Shi Jin couldn't help it, "It's been a few years, Chi Zheng, you—"
"Bye."
He neatly stuffed the phone back into his pocket, but he was not in a hurry to leave. His eyes followed the woman on the second floor, his eyes were calm. Every time Lu Sibei brought her to those rare gatherings a few years ago, the girl hardly spoke much, and she was extremely shy.
The woman stopped suddenly and answered the phone.
Chi Zheng laughed at his bewilderment, turned around and strode downstairs. At that time, the animated film on the third floor had just ended, and Qi Qiao and Meng Hang were looking for her. Meng Shengnan hung up the phone, turned and walked in the direction he came from, and went up to the third floor. The escalators staggered, and she saw him.
The man was carrying a large black bag on one shoulder, with his hands in his pockets and his head down.
Standing on the escalator, Meng Shengnan subconsciously looked back. The man didn't wait for the escalator to reach the end, but he quickly stepped down several flights of stairs. Then he was quickly submerged in the crowd, unable to see clearly. There are two people calling her above her head.
"Meng Shengnan—"
She looked up at the fourth floor, and a figure in the crowd looked back once.
