After saying this, Tian Jing actually hung up the phone.
The sea breeze blew on Lai Yang's confused face, and the sound of the tide in his ears made him feel as if he had turned into an immovable reef.
"An answer to the last question..."
Lai Yang murmured and repeated Ting Jing's words, "Which was the question last time?"
Are you asking her why she helps you again and again
…
Time passed by silently like running water, and in the blink of an eye it was already getting dark.
The industrial lights on the bay lit up, and the lights of the "Xiyuezhuang" hotel behind Lai Yang also became chaotic. The temperature on the beach began to cool down. Yuan Shengda called at this time and said that everyone wanted to go out for a walk to get back to normal.
In fact, Lai Yang hadn't traveled many times since he started school, so when he heard about going out to play, his sinking heart lifted up a little.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel entrance, I saw everyone standing together. Xu Mo and Li Dian were shoulder to shoulder, Song Wen was holding Yun Lu's hand directly, and only Yuan Shengda felt a little lonely.
When she saw Lai Yang, she said with a straight face, "If someone didn't know, I would think you were swept away by the waves. Why did you stay alone for so long?"
"Long? Isn't this just to enjoy the sea?"
Lai Yang smiled and looked at Xu Mo and Li Dian: "Hey, what is your relationship now? Can't you give me a definite answer?"
Xu Mo glared at him: "Is it okay to be friends? Then what is your relationship with Shengda?"
"I have a boyfriend, don't talk nonsense."
After Lai Yang finished speaking, Xu Mo glanced at the two of them dimly, sighed, and said nothing more.
Yunlu said she had already prepared a travel guide. Zhongshan Street is a very distinctive tourist spot in Zhoushan and you can go there for a stroll.
No one objected, so we called two cars and arrived at our destination half an hour later.
After getting off the bus, everyone walked side by side. Lai Yang walked on the outermost side. On his left was Yuan Shengda, but she seemed to be in a bad mood.
She is a person who cannot hide things in her heart, so Lai Yang guessed that maybe something went wrong with Aru.
A few people walked to a pastry shop on Zhongda Street. Lai Yang glanced at the sign at the door that read "Ruihe Old Brand". The shop was not big, but there were quite a few people inside and outside, and it was quite lively.
"Master, how long has your business been around?" Lai Yang asked the chef who was making pastries at the door.
"From the late Qing Dynasty to now, it has been nearly a hundred years."
“Wow!”
Lai Yang had a look of astonishment on his face, while the customers who were buying cakes nearby smiled and said that this shop was very famous and had been run by a member of the Shu family since its opening, and now the Shu family had passed it down to the third generation.
In this season, you can buy their rice cakes, which are white, soft, non-sticky and easy to digest. They are a famous local specialty here.
Hearing this, Song Wen took out his mobile phone and stepped forward: "Where is the code scanned? Give me two!"
After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone was staring at him gloomily, so he coughed a few times and changed the topic: "Then... give me six servings."
Eating rice cakes and strolling along Zhongda Street, it seems as if time has slowed down a lot. This is an ancient yet fresh street, and the combination of modern and ancient is particularly reflected here.
After getting tired of strolling around, we went into a teahouse built in the style of an antique Tang Dynasty building. There were white curtains and cattails on the floor, and people sat on the floor. There were a few branches of unknown flowers on the wooden table, which were slightly blown by the breeze.
Lai Yang picked up the reddish strong tea on the table and took a sip. He felt as if he was in a paradise.
He couldn't help it and took out his phone to take a photo of Tian Jing.
The other end quickly replied: Are you going to perform or travel
Haha, you're envious, right? How about performing and traveling at the same time? Do you want to quit your job and join us
Tian Jing replied with a few shocked emoticons, which made Lai Yang smile secretly.
But a few seconds later, Tian Jing sent another message.
I envy this kind of life.
… This life should be easy for you, right? You are a woman who owns a building, and you are not short of money, right
Tian Jing didn't reply. While waiting, Xu Mo suddenly said, "I think your job is so beautiful. It would be great if you could have more commercial performances like this and play around for the rest of your life."
"Actually, it's boring to play when you get tired of it. People still have to put down roots." Lai Yang replied.
Song Wen smiled slyly: "Brother Yang probably doesn't want to take root, but wants to stab people."
After he said this, everyone took a few seconds to react before they realized that his words were a double entendre and a bit vulgar, and everyone burst into laughter.
"You are the one who pricked people. You pricked Yunlu, such a good girl, every night, and it hurts her, right?"
"Brother Yang!" Yunlu smiled with her rosy cheeks.
At this moment, Yuan Shengda's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and took a look, then went out to answer it alone.
About two cups of tea
Lai Yang was a little worried because her husband hadn't come back yet, so he went out of the teahouse under the pretext of smoking.
As soon as I opened the white curtain and walked out, I saw Yuan Shengda walking in with an embarrassed look on his face.
"About Aru?"
Yuan Shengda stopped and shook his head: "My mother is in the hospital, still suffering from old illness."
"Is it serious?" Lai Yang frowned.
Yuan Shengda didn't reply immediately. He just stood quietly at the door of the teahouse with Lai Yang. The wind made the wind chimes on the corner of the eaves tinkle, and the paper lanterns with the word "Teahouse" printed on them were also swaying in the air.
"How about this, when the performance fee is paid, I will give it to you first, and you can transfer it to Second Mom."
Yuan Sheng shook his head, sniffed and looked up at Lai Yang.
"It's not about the money, it's about me... I like my current life, but I may really have to go back to my hometown."
"You mean... you're not coming to Shanghai?"
"Well, you know my mom's illness, it keeps coming back, and my brother is still in school, so I'm the only one who can take good care of her if I go back."
Lai Yang looked into the distance and his heart began to twitch inexplicably.
He found it hard to imagine what a lonely city Shanghai would be without Yuan Shengda. The thought of it made him feel desolate.
Yuan Shengda suddenly laughed, Lai Yang looked back at her, but found that her smile was fake and her eyes were sparkling.
"Don't be so sad. I'm not leaving now. Besides, you must implement your idea of setting up a university. Maybe you will have a branch in Xi'an in the future. I will take care of those students then."
She patted her chest and smiled.
Lai Yang also forced a smile: "You? If that day really comes, you have to package yourself and say that you are Teacher Alisa who has received professional talk show training from America, hahahaha!"
"Laiyang, you are going to die—"
The two of them entered the teahouse, playing around. It was as if nothing had happened just now. Only the whistling wind blew those unspeakable emotions to the edge of the sky, across the blue East China Sea, to the end of the world and civilization...
When we returned to the hotel, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. As soon as we entered the hotel gate, the manager came running towards us and said that President Wei was here and was waiting to have dinner with us.
Lai Yang swallowed his saliva; "Boss Wei... isn't he coming tomorrow?"
"We were in a hurry, so the helicopter just landed on the rooftop." said the manager.
