Song Wen's question confused Lai Yang. Didn't they go back to their hometown to see their parents together
What's going on
"Brother Yang, we...something happened. Xiaolu and I had a fight...I think he ran back to Shanghai."
"… Weren't you guys going to go back and talk about marriage? Why did you quarrel?!"
Song Wen was silent. He finished his cigarette, changed to another one, sat on a bench on the street, and listened to his cell phone tightly.
"Alas... Brother Yang, things are not that easy. Everything is fine when two people are in love, but once it comes to marriage, it is a matter of two families. Many concepts cannot be discussed together... There are some conflicts. Last night... Maybe I said something a little too harsh, and then she didn't answer my calls all day, and her mother just said that she left early in the morning with her luggage..."
Laiyang was a little dazed.
I heard from Yuan Shengda before that Yunlu and Song Wen were from the same county, and they had been in love since their sophomore year of high school and had a very deep relationship.
In this case, why could they quarrel like this over such a happy event as marriage? Lai Yang really couldn't understand!
"Tell me what happened? What was it about? The bride price?"
"It's not that simple, Brother Yang. How about you ask my elder sister to see if Xiaolu is with her? Let's find someone first..."
Song Wen has a more gentle personality, but his voice was obviously impatient at this moment. Lai Yang nodded repeatedly, hung up the phone and called Yuan Shengda.
After the call was connected, there was a guitar singing and a low noise coming from the other end.
Lai Yang was startled and asked if Yun Lu was there.
"Yes, we are sitting in the bar now. What happened? Did Song Wen call you?"
"... You, you, why didn't you tell me that Yunlu returned to Shanghai?"
"Why should I tell you? Do you know anything about girls?"
Lai Yang's mouth corners slightly opened, her attitude made people a little angry.
"What girls or boys? Song Wen is so anxious right now and you are still fanning the flames?"
"How did I fan the flames? I was helping her analyze the problem! Do you have anything else to do?"
“Can you analyze the problem?”
Lai Yang snorted angrily: "You two have the same temper. You have to analyze this matter from a man's perspective. Where are you now? I..."
"You don't have to come over, Aru is here too.
Is he a man? "
"… "
Laiyang was speechless.
I forgot in my anxiety just now that A-Lu is Yuan Shengda’s boyfriend now, and they will be inseparable from now on.
Lai Yang felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his heart. He said a few words to comfort Yun Lu and called Song Wen back.
After dealing with this matter, Lai Yang put down his phone, leaned on the bench and looked at the yellow street lights above his head.
At this time, some small flying insects were flying around the lamp panel aimlessly, and from time to time, there were banging sounds.
The neon lights on the buildings on both sides of the street lit up. In a cafe across the street, several men and women sat in front of the window and talked. The girls covered their mouths and laughed from time to time.
Laiyang couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could see that they were enjoying the relaxation after get off work.
There were also bursts of laughter coming from the Boxiao Club, but Laiyang himself was like an isolated person, with only the chestnut-green road, the yellow street lights and moths as his companions...
What Qianying said in the afternoon was right. The team was really like drifting mud and sand, gradually dispersing.
He wanted to focus, but felt powerless.
…
After returning to the theater, it happened to be Hu Zi who was giving an open mic speech.
Lai Yang originally wanted to go backstage to rest for a while, but when he heard him mention the word "sea turtle", Lai Yang leaned against the wall and listened.
"It wasn't me who came up with the name Turtle Teacher. I was teaching dance classes to kids at the time, and the head of the institution required us to come up with a really stupid stage name."
Hu Zi held the microphone, paused and continued speaking.
"There are teacher Dandan and teacher Dingzi. I had no choice but to call myself teacher Haigui. After two days of teaching, a parent pointed at my face angrily and accused me of false advertising. He asked me if I had studied abroad and where I was from. I was a sea turtle... I was speechless. After holding it in for a long time, I had to smile and reply, "Hello, mother of the child... You heard wrong. There is no sea turtle teacher here. My name is Haibie..."
More than a dozen people at the scene couldn't help laughing, and Lai Yang also raised the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that Hu Zi was so good at it.
"Later..."
Hu Zi also smiled and walked beside the stage with a microphone.
"Later, I became a sea turtle teacher. I had a lot of questions, because every time I taught, the children would raise their hands and ask me, 'Teacher, teacher, what is a turtle?' I said, 'A turtle is a kind of turtle.'"
They asked, "Teacher, what does a turtle look like?" I was going crazy! I gritted my teeth and said to the children, "A turtle... looks like what the teacher looks like now..."
"Hahaha!!"
There was a big joke at the scene!
After Hu Zi stepped down, Lai Yang patted him on the shoulder and said that he spoke well. Hu Zi took his phone back from Qianying, watched the video, and laughed.
"Hey, when you open mic in the future, I'll come over when I have nothing to do. It's quite fun. I feel much better after talking for a while."
Lai Yang followed him out of the theater, handed him a cigarette, and said.
"Talk shows have this kind of magic. You can share for a few minutes and express the unhappy things in life in a comedic way. When you hear people applauding and laughing for you, it feels like many obstacles that you can't get over are just overcome."
"Really? If you talk about it all day, do you feel good all day long?"
“… About that.”
Lai Yang was smoking silently, while Hu Zi was looking at the likes in the circle of friends. Suddenly, he bumped Lai Yang with his shoulder.
"I'd like to recommend you a guy who just gave me a thumbs up. He's in charge of performance approvals. If you're in this line of work, you'll have to say hello to him in the future."
Lai Yang smiled and said thank you, then opened the business card given by Hu Zi on his mobile phone. However, when he saw the man's profile picture, Lai Yang's pupils suddenly shrank!
This person used a work profile picture and was the person who came to the concert hall to verify that day.
Suddenly, a very bad thought came to my mind.
"Hu Zi, is this person on good terms with your CEO Su?"
"What? How do you know?"
Hu Zi looked at Lai Yang in surprise and said that this person had a good relationship with General Manager Su and he was added later.
Only then did Lai Yang realize that what he had checked that day was most likely done by the little turtle!
He openly helped himself in front of Tian Jing to show his magnanimity, but in reality he wanted to distract himself by touring the country.
In secret, they resorted to such despicable tactics.
If I really were to join Guangxun, I wouldn't know how he would manipulate me in the future.
Lai Yang threw away the cigarette butt, his brows furrowed, and the veins on his neck bulged.
He felt that it was time for him to talk to Tian Jing...
