"You've become... I almost don't recognize you at all."
He Yunzhou looked at Li Fu in disbelief, and made a shocked sound.
They had exchanged photos with each other back then, and He Yunzhou still remembered that Li Fu was just an ordinary thin young man wearing glasses, who even looked a little dumbfounded. But now, his facial features are somewhat similar to before, but his expression, demeanor, and the aura lingering on him are completely different from before.
Probably because of this, He Yunzhou found that he didn't even feel any nostalgia when he was reuniting with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He just felt that everything was not right.
Of course, there is another reason because the feeling of seeing people from Li Fu is too direct. He Yunzhou has not met such a direct gaze for a long time, so that he feels like sitting on pins and needles just talking to the other party, and is very at a loss.
I have to say, this is probably the weakness of human beings, right? He Yunzhou thought to himself mockingly in his heart. Obviously at the beginning, the two of them were gloomy literary and artistic young men who were housebound and fearful of the society, but they communicated very happily without any burden, but once they found out that the people they knew suddenly became elites, the uncomfortable feeling was like a tsunami Generally, it is sweeping, no matter how rational it is to suppress it, it is useless.
"After all, it's been so many years..."
Hearing He Yunzhou's whisper, Li Fu's eyes dimmed, and he sighed calmly.
"But no matter how much time has passed, I will always remember the things you did for me back then."
"Ahahaha, we are friends after all, and I'm still your book fan—"
He Yunzhou knew that what Li Fu was talking about was the fact that he volunteered to illustrate the other party's calligraphy and painting back then, but it has been so long that such a thing was said so solemnly by a bestseller like Li Fu , still made He Yunzhou very uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but glanced at Xiaoxi again.
"Ah, you guys have known each other for so long. I didn't even know that the two of you started working together so many years ago. It's so fate!"
Xiaoxi received He Yunzhou's eyes calling for help, and said dryly.
"Yeah, it's really fate."
There was a slight smile on the corner of Li Fu's mouth, and he whispered softly.
His gentle voice sounded really infatuated, Xiaoxi quickly closed his mouth, an ominous premonition rumbled behind him.
Why does such a normal sentence sound so abnormal
Xiaoxi and He Yunzhou looked at each other in the same way, and they both saw bewilderment in each other's eyes.
Of course, the undercurrents at the dinner table did not stop Li Fu from clapping his hands, allowing the waiters who had been waiting for a long time to serve them.
All kinds of indescribable and expensive dishes were served on the table after such a simple action.
"The clear water tofu and shark's fin soup here are pretty good, come and try?"
He Yunzhou and Xiaoxi, two people who have never seen the world, are still staring at the dishes on the table that seem to be wafting with the fragrance of money in a daze, while Li Fu has already skillfully stretched out his hand, and gently put the exquisite small cup with shark fin soup on it. He pushed in He Yunzhou's direction.
"Eating here this time is mainly because it is more convenient for talking. If you really want to eat something, you still have to go to another small restaurant. In fact, there is a small restaurant by the river that eats Jiangxian. Let's go eat together some other day?"
"Thanks… "
After thanking him, He Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.
If he remembered correctly, Li Fu wasn't from City A at all, was he? However, he is far more familiar with the restaurant than He Yunzhou, who is a local.
He Yunzhou was still confused this way, but Lifu's eyes from that side had already fallen on him.
Should it be said that Li Fu's pen name is too similar to the legendary fox's name? As if he could understand people's hearts, He Yunzhou just muttered something in his heart, but he naturally explained it.
"You told me at the beginning that you liked eating very much. At that time, I always wanted to come here to find you..." Speaking of the past, Li Fu's expression softened a lot. "At that time, I just wanted to have fun with you. I have done a lot of homework. When I came back, I found that many good shops are still open, probably God is looking after me, so that I will not waste so much effort."
"It's like this, but you..."
But why did you disappear all of a sudden
He Yunzhou remembers that at that time, because he was worried that he was being hit and wanted to do something stupid, he tried a lot to find him, but his friend "Fu Li", who unilaterally cut off all contact, still disappeared in that way quietly. In the vast network.
When this matter was mentioned, Li Fu's expression froze for a moment, and then a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"At that time, something happened at home."
Li Fu said calmly.
"When I finally broke free from those messy things, I realized that I had lost your contact information."
Li Fu then explained in more detail, but the more He Yunzhou listened, the more he felt that Li Fu hadn't told himself the real reason.
During the period of losing contact with myself, the old friend in front of me seems to have really experienced many inhumane things.
Most obviously, the way he talks about himself.
"... Hahaha, of course, I have indeed changed a lot, so I'll shock you." The man smiled softly, but the smile didn't fall into his eyes, "But I quite like my current state. If I'm still the cowardly and incompetent me back then, I'm afraid I won't get anything, and I won't be able to protect anything."
After saying this, the dinner table fell into a suffocating silence.
Looking at the man beside him, He Yunzhou felt more and more that he was so strange that people couldn't get close to him, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't even say what he should say.
"Hahaha, Li Fuda, your current state is something that many people dream of. You are the king of bestsellers..."
It was Xiaoxi who took the time between eating shark fin, velvet, abalone, bird's nest, and worked hard to liven up the atmosphere, so that this stomachache meal would not be too lifeless.
"... However, you are still exactly the same as before, nothing has changed."
Li Fu continued to look at He Yunzhou with that direct gaze, and after a long silence, he smiled and said with emotion.
"I've always been a lazy person, so I haven't grown much."
He Yunzhou said embarrassedly, but before he could organize the words behind, Li Fu had already spoken naturally.
"That's great."
"ah?"
"It's great that you can be more of the same."
The more Li Fu said, the more it made He Yunzhou feel very strange. If the other party was an ordinary person, He Yunzhou would feel that what he said was like teasing him, but the impression of Li Fu's inarticulateness and shyness before Li Fu still remained. In the bottom of my heart, it made He Yunzhou a little confused. Another possibility is that writers like Li Fu seldom contact outsiders. Maybe their speech and behavior are so weird
Just when He Yunzhou finished his meal with such an idea, thinking that everything would be all right, when he finished eating, Li Fu handed a large bouquet of red roses with charming fragrance and charming beauty to He Yunzhou.
"For you."
Standing at the door of the restaurant, Li Fu said very calmly.
"Huh? This? This?"
He Yunzhou was caught off guard and embraced the bouquet of roses. Compared with Li Fu's calmness, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as panicked.
"I wanted to order other flowers, but the store made a mistake for me."
Li Fu turned his head and smiled wryly at He Yunzhou.
"I don't know if you still remember, but when I said I was coming to you, didn't I say that I would wait for you in the square of the train station with a bunch of flowers?"
He Yunzhou froze for a moment, and after racking his brains to recall, he finally remembered vaguely.
It seems that I did make an agreement with Li Fu as a joke that if the two meet, they can bring a bunch of flowers and wait for others. This stalk was used in a very famous movie back then, and that agreement was actually more of a joke.
He Yunzhou had no idea that Li Fu would remember this matter for so long.
In an instant, his feelings of embarrassment and shame poured into his heart like a tide.
"If it is easy to cause misunderstanding if it is given to a woman, it can only be given to you, and it should be a gift from netizens when they meet Ji."
He Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Fu's casual and very casual explanation.
As for Xiaoxi, she stared at He Yunzhou and then at Li Fu in a daze, her whole body was about to explode.
What do you mean by making a mistake
What does it mean to be afraid of being misunderstood by others
Are people with the word raccoon in their names all so scary in character
The extremely expensive rose was bought here as a gift to He Yunzhou—if he hadn't seen Li Fu's true face in the hotel, Xiao Xi would have believed Yi Lifu's superb acting skills.
But since Li Fu was right next to him, Xiaoxi could only bear with it and did not directly tear down the situation in front of the other party.
It's just... After Brother Chuan returns, I still have to remind him no matter what.
Xiaoxi looked worriedly at He Yunzhou who believed what Li Fu said, and the worry in his heart deepened.
On the other side, He Yunzhou who was holding a rose also had a headache.
If it hadn't been related to the agreement made so many years ago, he would have wished to throw the roses to Xiaoxi directly, but since this was Li Fu's intention, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the flowers home.
But his embarrassment fell into Li Fu's eyes, and it seemed funny, making that person laugh non-stop.
It was at this time that the familiar bad taste in the man made He Yunzhou connect the Fuli in his memory with the current Lifu.
Seeing the atmosphere of the reunion of old friends finally came out, but suddenly, a certain feeling of being spied on made He Yunzhou tremble.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the grass not far from the entrance of the restaurant, but the dense branches and leaves of the plants in summer made him unable to see anything clearly.
"What's wrong?"
"looking at what?"
Noticing that something was wrong with him, Li Fu and Xiao Xi asked at the same time.
"It's nothing... maybe I'm too sensitive."
He Yunzhou came back to his senses and shook his head.
Someone seemed to be watching us just now...
There is really no need to say this kind of nagging words to scare people. After all, He Yunzhou also knows his faults. The experience of being cold, violent and excluded in his student days made him very sensitive to sight, but sometimes he does have illusions because of being too sensitive.
After thinking about it, at the entrance of such an unknown high-end restaurant, I really can't think of a reason why someone would come to spy on him and his friend's dinner.
The author has something to say: There is a person who is about to be jealous of pickled roses.
