After all, Bei Er and Tang Li have known each other since high school. It has been almost nine years now. The only friend she was looking for was Tang Li. The moment she saw Tang Li, she felt that she had really come home.
Even Bei Er's mother said: "It's very rare to meet a friend who doesn't envy you when you are good, and doesn't dislike you when you are bad. If you can cherish it, you must cherish it."
Bei Er Duo would always answer: "Of course we should cherish her, I've always regarded her as a treasure."
Bei Er's mother had good reasons for saying this. Everyone has a glamorous time. The three years in high school were considered the peak period of Bei Er's beauty. Although she was not tall at that time, she was slender and well-proportioned. Her skin was so good that not a single pore could be seen. When she smiled, her eyes would squint. Formed into a line, cute and bright, when she passed the corridor, countless boys turned their heads habitually, and the eyes of girls couldn't help but fall on her.
That was Bei Er's beautiful youth. During the three years when she was able to show off her power, many girls regarded her as an "imaginary enemy", and Tang Li was always by her side laughing and laughing.
The good times don't last long. After graduating from high school, Bei Er was admitted to a famous school in N city, majoring in human resources management. She didn't know whether she was not acclimatized or she found that the major was not suitable for her. When she was older, Bei Er Duo became more and more ordinary, her grades were neither bad nor bad. After the internship in her junior year, she realized the fact that she didn't like her major and started to find another way out. Fortunately, she usually has a wide range of hobbies and personality Not conservative, she dared to take risks. With Tang Li's support and funding, she started her own business. She set up a small shop on College Street in N City and opened a small hot pot restaurant for students. She lasted for a year Falls after half.
From the very beginning to the end of the shop, during the difficult year and a half, because of the disapproval of her parents, Bei Er Duo did not dare to complain to them about all the setbacks and troubles she encountered. After that period of torment.
On the day she came back from N City, Tang Li personally came to pick her up at the train station, with chicken wings wrapped in tinfoil in his arms, and looked at her with a smile.
"It's still my hometown. The scenery is familiar, even old friends." Tang Li stuffed the chicken wings into her hand and welcomed her home.
At that time, Bei Er Duo solemnly nodded, his eyes and heart were warmed by those words at the same time.
It is a blessing to have such a friend in this life.
It is said that blessings are accumulated, and hard-won things need to be cherished even more.
Like just now, even when Tang Li made such an unreasonable request, she couldn't refuse her.
Bei Er Duo tossed and turned all night, and called Tang Li early the next morning.
"Well, how do you want me to cooperate?"
Tang Li on the other end of the phone was stunned, and his voice was soon stained with a smile: "You agreed?"
"It's useless if I agree, the other party must be willing." Bei Er Duo thought of Ye Shu Wei's unkind face.
"If Mr. Yu goes to say it in person, there must be no problem with him."
Bei Er Duo waved away the inexplicable irritability in the air, and said, "Then give me his phone number."
"You don't have his phone number yet? You didn't exchange that day?"
"No."
"I'll send it to you as soon as I hang up the phone. Don't be nervous, but it's just a piece of cake to put on a show on the Internet." Tang Li said, "I'm going downstairs to buy coffee now, and there will be a meeting later, and things are piling up. I'll tell you what to do when I'm done."
Tang Li hung up the phone, and quickly sent a text message to Bei Er, which contained Ye Shuwei's phone number.
Bei Er Duo saved his number, and took the initiative to send a greeting: "Ye Shuwei? I'm Bei Er Duo, and this is my phone number."
Ye Shu Wei didn't reply, Bei Er Duo had expected this point, she was not surprised by it.
People like him, at first glance, are not very enthusiastic, and are used to ignoring people who send messages from unfamiliar numbers.
In the evening Tang Li called again, and talked with Bei Er for a long time, basically teaching her what to do, what to say and what not to say, how to create the feeling that she and Ye Shuwei are a real couple to the public, Bei Er was a little sleepy , just squinted his eyes, and when he was about to wander, Tang Li raised his voice and said in a good mood: "By the way, Mr. Yu personally asked Ye Shuwei for help. Of course he is not very enthusiastic about it, but he also said that it doesn't matter. The only one My request is to leave all the troublesome things to you."
"Ah?" Bei Er shuddered, and the drowsiness faded away, "What do you mean?"
"It's you who take the initiative, and he is passive. You arrange everything, and he is only responsible for cooperating."
"Why do I have an illusion, I want to post him upside down."
"Not really, the main thing is that he is very busy, he has to do experiments, he has to help substitute classes, and there are many other things." Tang Li explained, "He has a full-time job, unlike you who can arrange his time freely, please be more understanding and take the initiative To share my worries, as for the remuneration, I mentioned it to Mr. Yu, and he said that as long as it is done well, it is not a problem at all."
"Okay then." Although a bit depressed, let's treat it as a job, and the business is done.
"Let's just say that!"
Before going to bed, Bei Er Er closed the book, heard the notification sound of the text message, turned his head to take a look, and the screen displayed the word Ye Shu Wei.
She gained the dignity of being answered, and she opened it immediately.
"oh."
"..."
This is a reply fifteen hours late.
Saturday morning, Morning Heron Park.
At exactly seven o'clock in the appointment, Bei Er Duo arrived ten minutes early, unexpectedly the other party came earlier.
There weren't many people in the park, and Ye Shu Wei was very recognizable, so Bei Er could see him from a distance.
He is wearing a dark gray sportswear, sitting on a bench beside the rockery, his sitting posture is very straight, his thigh and calf form a standard 90-degree right angle, his head is slightly lowered, one hand is resting on his lap, and the other is holding a mobile phone. playing games.
Bei Er Duo walked in front of him and coughed.
He didn't look up.
"Ye Shuwei."
Just like the first time we met, he looked up indifferently, looking at her like a potted plant.
"I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." Bei Er Duo smiled and warmed up positively, "Your work is just across the street, right? The air around here is really good, and you can come here for a walk when you're tired."
Ye Shu Wei stood up, and quickly moved Bei Er's gaze up until she raised her entire neck.
"Where are you going to take pictures?" He asked directly.
Bei Er lowered his head and looked around. It was the season of late spring and early summer. The sun was shining. Two tiger-striped shrikes were leisurely resting on a tree branch. Under the tree was a ninety-year-old man writing on a bluestone board with a brush dipped in water. , a little far away, a pair of elderly sisters danced with magnolia fans, and turned around with a clever smile accompanied by the music of the small radio. Farther away was a tramp in ragged clothes, sitting on a stone bench inscrutablely.
This elderly park... It seems that I can't find a suitable place to take pictures at once.
"There seems to be a lotus pond there, let's go over there." Bei Er Duo suddenly saw a sparkling lake, his eyes lit up.
When I arrived there, I found that the lake was in ruins, the lake water was yellowish brown, and there were dead branches and leaves everywhere on the lake, as well as some garbage bags that were too late to clean up, because it was not yet midsummer, and the lotus hadn’t bloomed yet, and there were only lonely lotus leaves, wilting. hanging on the lake.
It was disappointing to watch.
"There doesn't seem to be a particularly good view." Bei Er Duo turned around and asked for Ye Shu Wei's opinion, "What do you think?"
Ye Shu looked down at his phone, and said emotionlessly, "The place you chose is boring."
Bei Er was at a loss for words, and thought this was just to accommodate you. If you choose Yuncha Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, so far away, would you always be willing to go? I specially picked a place close to your work place, why do you still look ungrateful.
She tugged on the strap of her schoolbag, and looked at Ye Shuwei speechlessly, just as the sun was shining directly, his slender figure spread across the floor tiles, with sharp outlines, comparable to the finely crafted silhouettes in movies.
"How about we take a shadow!" Bei Er Duo suddenly thought of this, "The kind that leans against each other."
Ye Shu Wei felt nothing: "Are you sure?"
Bei Er Duo nodded, quickly untied his schoolbag, put it on the ground, took out his camera, and moved to his side.
"Do you want to lean closer?" She was adjusting the angle.
Ye Shu Wei didn't move.
Bei Er Duo had no choice but to take the initiative to approach him until the shadows of the two in the frame began to overlap intimately, and she pressed the button neatly.
"It's ok." Bei Er Duo breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the camera to Ye Shu Wei with a smile, "Take a look, isn't this effect pretty good?"
Ye Shu glanced slightly, and asked back: "Are there any couples who are bored enough to take pictures of themselves in the sun?"
"Why not? There are many online, have you never noticed?"
"No." Ye Shuwei asked again directly, "Have you completed the task now?"
Bei Er Duo originally wanted to take a few more photos with him, but his cooperation was very low, and his mood secretly showed displeasure and rejection, and even questioned her arrangement. All of the above quickly overwhelmed her little interest. , She thought for a while, picked up her schoolbag, and put it on her back again: "That's it, as long as I can do business."
Ye Shu turned around slightly.
"Wait." In a blink of an eye, Bei Er Duo changed his mind and stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve.
Ye Shuwei stopped, and looked down at the two white fingers on his sleeve, as if looking at germs under a microscope.
"I'm sorry." Bei Er Duo let go in time, with a very sincere smile on his face, "I suddenly remembered that there is a famous snack bar nearby. The soup dumplings and beef vermicelli in it are delicious, let's go eat together .”
Under Ye Shu's quiet and unwavering gaze, she slowly added in a low voice: "I'm ready to treat you."
There are two reasons for her to invite guests. First, she is really hungry. Second, since she still needs to deal with him in the future, in order to ensure the smooth cooperation, it is necessary not to see his cold face repeatedly. She thinks that today He came out early, so he probably didn't eat breakfast, so he should be hungry now.
"No need, I've already eaten." Ye Shu Wei said.
Go forward after speaking.
Bei Er Duo followed up in time and began to chatter: "Have you eaten? What time did you eat it? What did you eat? Not hungry now? Do you want to eat something to replenish your energy? The soup dumplings in that store are very good." Eat, the door is only open four days a week, if you miss today, you will have it next Tuesday, are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Ye Shuwei had long legs and big strides, Bei Er couldn't keep up, so he simply ran two steps, and grabbed his sleeve again without fear of death.
Ye Shuwei was caught by her, when he turned his head, his gaze was like a dark corner where the sun never shines - cold.
Bei Er Duo successfully felt what "heavy pressure" meant, but this time she didn't let go of her hand, and said seriously: "Ye Shuwei, since Mr. Yu asked you to cooperate with me well, you should listen to me today, and now I'm so hungry I can't walk anymore, based on the man's gentlemanly demeanor, it's not an exaggeration to accompany me to have breakfast."
Taking advantage of Ye Shuwei's silence, Bei Er Er withdrew his hand and pointed to the street: "It's just across the street, just cross the road, let's go."
After she left the words, she walked towards the target with her head held high and her chest held high, making a silent bet in her heart, would he be a gentleman again
However, she walked for a while, and there was no other movement in her ears except for her own footsteps. She sighed and was about to stop and look back when she suddenly heard the footsteps of a man behind her.
She was happy, and it seemed that he was not as difficult to deal with as she imagined.
Soon, Ye Shuwei walked up to her, and whispered a clear and emphatic sentence across her ears: "Don't forget, you just said that it was your treat.
"Huh? Uh... hmm."
The joyful mood was fleeting, and was replaced by another kind of "deep confusion". Is this person really the elite with an annual salary of more than 200,000 in Tang Li's mouth? Why doesn't it sound like...
"It's delicious" soup bag shop.
Bei Er Duo queued up to buy two breakfasts, and when he was returning to his seat, Ye Shu Wei's cell phone rang. He glanced at the incoming call, got up and walked to the door to answer the call.
Not surprised, Bei Er Duo picked up the chopsticks and gently pricked the skin of the soup dumpling, waiting for the hot juice to cool down.
"Isn't this Bei Er Duo?"
Accompanied by the knocking of high heels on the marble tiles, a familiar sound reached her ears. As usual, it was a pretentious playful voice wrapped with an aggressive sharpness.
Bei Er Duo knew who it was without looking back.
The four words Yuanjialuzhai are too classic. On this sunny and warm morning, with a cool breeze blowing on the face, and plenty of food, in this small city with a total population of 15 million people, she chose to be with someone who most disgusted her. people by chance.
Zhang Yilu, Bei Er's mortal enemy, came to her side in a good mood at this moment, looking down on her.
Such gazes instantly evoked the old grievances of the two of them, flashing before them one after another.
Bei Er and Zhang Yilu went to the same junior high school, and then went to the same high school, a total of six years of unfavorable relationship.
Their conflicts intensified during the three years of high school. Those three years were the most prosperous years for Bei Er. Because Zhang Yilu couldn't control her jealousy, she spread rumors about Bei Er's private affairs among the girls time and time again, desperately seeking hatred for her. She even slandered Bei Er's reputation among her male classmates. She was caught by Bei Er's private discussion once, and the two quarreled on the spot and even grabbed each other's hair. Finally, she was called a parent by the class teacher. It ends with pretending to apologize to each other.
"I felt something was wrong when I walked in the door. My right eyelid kept twitching. It turned out that you are here." Zhang Yilu said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I still recognized your back at a glance. It's really weird."
"Hehe." Bei Er Duo didn't bother to talk to her.
"Speaking of which, I've heard a lot about you here and there over the years. Your parents divorced, the small hot pot restaurant you opened closed down, and you finally couldn't get along there, so you had to come back in despair. "Zhang Yilu's pink lips opened and closed, not giving people a chance to breathe, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so bad. I can only say that your good luck was used up in three years of high school. To be honest, I felt quite horrified when I walked over just now, why is your face so round."
"No matter how round you are, it can't compare to your unrecognizable appearance."
Zhang Yilu smiled instead of anger: "I admit that I have had plastic surgery, but my attending doctor said that I am a once-in-a-century model. It is wishful thinking for ordinary people to achieve my effect. This also needs a foundation."
Bei Er Er looked at Zhang Yilu's current face, it was indeed astonishingly beautiful, with a moderate small face, exquisite facial features, soft lines, every stroke seemed to be meticulously crafted, there was hardly any missing thing, and it was done very naturally, without Artifacts.
It is completely different from Zhang Yilu, who was dark and thin, with small eyes, nose and wide chin, and shriveled figure in high school.
The most successful part of Zhang Yilu's whole life is that this soft and vivid face has modified her character and completely covered up her inner darkness, sharpness, narrowness, frivolity, malice, and inferiority complex. Like the beauty of oxygen, it has the function of healing pain, so that men, women, children and the elderly can't help but want to get close.
"Do you envy me?" Zhang Yilu bent her body slightly, revealing her beautiful curves, her eyes were filled with narrow malice, "By the way, Bei Er, don't think I'm showing off to you, because I surpassed you in all aspects. You, in fact, not at all, your current appearance does not arouse my desire to win, I am only confused about you, what kind of nerve is wrong with me before, I actually regard you as a competitor, and spend time with you By the way, it's really young and ignorant..."
"Give way." A clear voice intervened in time.
Zhang Yilu's emotional immersion was interrupted, when she looked up and saw Ye Shuwei's face, she was extremely stunned.
It turned out to be him? How could he, who was so unattainable, appear here
Ye Shuwei sat down peacefully and asked Bei Er Duo, "Who is she?"
Bei Er shrugged: "A person I've known for many years."
"Oh." He responded, expressing his lack of interest.
Zhang Yilu quickly put on the mask, found a business card case from the bag with trembling hands, opened it, took out a card and handed it to Ye Shuwei, speaking neither fast nor slow, unreserved, looking very cultivated: "I am Zhang Yilu, if you I have the habit of listening to the radio, and I host the program from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Music FM. It just so happens that our broadcasting building is nearby."
Ye Shuwei ignored her, holding the chopsticks in his slender hands, picked up a soup dumpling in front of him, and skillfully put it on Bei Er's plate.
Bei Er Duo was slightly surprised.
"Aren't you always thinking about the things here?" Ye Shuwei's eyes stayed on Bei Er's face, "It's rare to come here, eat more."
Zhang Yilu smiled: "May I ask, what is your relationship with Bei Er Duo?"
Ye Shuwei pushed the vinegar plate in front of Bei Er, "Say it."
Bei Er Duo successfully received a certain signal, and because she got his tacit approval, she introduced it generously: "He is my boyfriend, Ye Shuwei, 27 years old, and works in the Animal Disease Prevention Research Institute."
"Boyfriend? I didn't hear that you had a boyfriend. How long has it been?" Zhang Yilu's heart sank to the bottom, restraining her overwhelming emotions, she asked calmly.
"We haven't been dating for a long time, about half a year. Because of our low-key style, we didn't inform others." Bei Er said.
"Really?" Zhang Yilu chuckled, keeping his eyes on Bei Er.
"Of course, it's also convenient for us to enjoy the world of two people."
Zhang Yilu was speechless, and calmly looked sideways at Ye Shuwei, the latter completely acquiesced in every word Bei Er said.
"Besides, he has a dull personality and is not good at socializing. I won't force him to come into my circle." Bei Er smiled at Ye Shu, "Is it?"
Ye Shuwei still didn't speak, and put another soup dumpling on Bei Er's plate, telling her to eat more.
"Don't feed me, what should I do if I'm hungry? You see that you've lost weight recently, you should eat more, and my belly is round." Bei Er Duo declined, "Haney, I really can't get fatter. .”
"Fat growing in the lower abdomen? Why haven't I noticed it?" Ye Shu raised his eyelids, and answered the question very normally, "Let me check it out sometime."
Zhang Yilu's heart turned cold, and she couldn't bear to listen to their conversation, so she said "I'll take my leave first" in a daze, then turned and walked away quickly.
When the annoying person disappeared from the field of vision, Bei Er Duo looked back, and suddenly found Ye Shu Wei, who was opposite, reached for a pair of chopsticks, and calmly picked up the two soup dumplings on her plate one by one.
It means that the play is over and the soup dumpling should be returned to him.
Not only did he take back two soup dumplings that belonged to him, but he also took an extra one from her plate.
"You have a pretty good appetite." Bei Er Duo was stuffed with a snack.
"Don't you think I've lost weight recently?" Ye Shuwei took a soup dumpling dipped in vinegar, and slowly took a bite.
"..."
