warm time 桐华 14799Words 2018-03-16
When I was young, I always felt that I was a very special person in the world. Even if I am ordinary now, there must be something special, but it has not been discovered yet.When I think about the future, I always feel that anything is possible.But as I grew up, I gradually realized that I was just the most ordinary member of the crowd, with no better body, smarter brain, prettier face, or even more attractive personality than others.As a result, I became more and more rational and realistic, even if I dreamed, I would be immersed in a beautiful dream while clearly knowing that it was just a dream.

Yan Xiaochen is in this situation at the moment, everything in the dream is very real, but she is very clear that she is dreaming—— At the age of eleven, she is learning to ride a bicycle.The person is small and the car is big, and the bicycle twists and turns, which is frightening to watch, but she is far more amused than scared, screaming non-stop while pedaling hard. Mom stood by the side of the road, staring at her nervously, and shouted: "Be careful, be careful, watch the road! Don't fall!" Dad kept running behind the bicycle, with his hands stretched forward, ready to kill her at any time if she fell down. Hold her up.

Perhaps because she knew that her parents were by her side and would protect her no matter what happened, Xiao Yan Xiaochen became more courageous and rode her bicycle very fast. The ear-piercing ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang, and the dream seemed to be swept away by a strong wind and disappeared.But the warmth and sweetness in the dream still lingers in her heart, making the 22-year-old Yan Xiaochen reluctant to open her eyes.These years, she never recalled the past, thinking that time had blurred her memory, but it turned out that she remembered everything in the past so clearly.She even remembered that her father was wearing a gray striped T-shirt and black shorts that day, and her mother was wearing a blue floral dress.

The phone rang relentlessly, Yan Xiaochen turned over and sat up, took out the phone, saw the word "Mom" on the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat, and subconsciously wanted to throw the phone away.She collected herself, raised a corner of the curtain, and quickly glanced at the dormitory, seeing that her roommates were not there, she pressed the answer button. "What are you doing? Don't answer the phone for half a day?" Through the mobile phone, Yan Xiaochen could still clearly feel her mother's impatience and irritability.She knew that her mother's point was not really concerned with what she was doing, so she didn't answer, and asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"I'm out of money! Give me two thousand dollars!" "I gave you more than a thousand last month..." "I lost! Call me the money quickly!" Mom hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking. Yan Xiaochen sat blankly holding the phone.Dreams and dreams, heaven and hell, sometimes, she really hopes that her current life is just a nightmare, if she can return to the summer when she was eighteen years old after waking up from the dream, she is willing to pay any price. As usual, Yan Xiaochen carried her schoolbag and rode an old bicycle to the ATM machine in the corner of the campus.She inserted the bank card, entered the password, and pressed Check Balance first.

In fact, she is very clear about the balance, which is 2,155 yuan and 73 cents, but the mentality of a poor person, every time she withdraws money, she will first check the balance. The money still exists safely. The more than two thousand yuan was saved by Yan Xiaochen from his part-time job this summer, and every dollar has a plan—he is already a senior, and it takes money to find a job, a suit for interviews, transportation expenses... Even if these are not counted, just printing Resume, photocopies of various certificates are not a small expense.Now that the employment situation is grim and it is difficult to find a job, the senior sister said to attack early, cast the net widely, and prepare at least 100 resumes.

Yan Xiaochen pressed the transfer button and transferred 2,000 yuan to her mother. The subtraction problem to calculate the balance was easy to do, but she still pressed the check balance button again, and she was sure to deduct the 20 yuan handling fee, leaving only 135 yuan After seven cents and three cents, he withdrew his bank card. I sent a text message to my mother: "The money has been transferred to you, so save it. I'm going to start looking for a job. When I find a job, everything will be fine." As usual, the text messages fell into the sea with no reply. Yan Xiaochen rode a bicycle and habitually went to the big playground, sat on the steps of the playground, and watched the students below exercising vigorously.

For four years in college, she would come here every time she was in a bad mood. The midterm exam week has just ended, and today is the weekend again. There is no usual noise and bustle on the playground, but there are still many people running, lap after lap.With young faces and hopeful eyes, they laughed confidently, and were exhausted confidently. Unlike her, her exhaustion was hard to describe.Just like now, she feels very tired, because after all the calculations, one hundred and thirty-five yuan is barely enough for more than a week's food expenses, but she can't tell anyone about this predicament.

There is still more than half a month before the salary is paid, Yan Xiaochen doesn't know what to do.She thought wildly, maybe she could rob a bank, find a pair of torn stockings, put them on her head, buy a plastic gun for ten yuan, then rush in and shout "Hand over all the money", the result would definitely fail, but she entered After leaving the prison, someone will take care of food, housing and clothes, and all life problems will be solved! Thinking about it, Yan Xiaochen couldn't help laughing like watching a clumsy comedy movie.Enough of laughing foolishly into the air alone, she took out her phone and checked the time, it was almost six o'clock, and she had to go to work!

The school requires that you have to get off the car when entering and exiting the school gate. When Yan Xiaochen was pushing the bicycle out of the school gate, she encountered a few students coming back from outside with shopping bags. She greeted her with a smile. The eyes of the students were all a little weird. Obviously, they thought she shouldn't elated. Two weeks ago, Yan Xiaochen was dumped by her boyfriend who had been dating for more than a month.Boyfriend Shen Hou is a well-known figure in their class, he is not famous for his good character and academics, but for eating, drinking and having fun.Yan Xiaochen followed the rules in school, had excellent grades, and received scholarships every year. He was regarded as a good student in the eyes of his classmates. However, Shen Hou was just the opposite. None of them look like people from the same world.But more than a month ago, the two suddenly got together, everyone was taken aback, even Yan Xiaochen's roommate believed that Shen Hou was playing with Yan Xiaochen, and implicitly advised her not to take it seriously, but Yan Xiaochen just listened with a smile.

Everything was as expected by the students, the two were together at the beginning of the semester, and before the midterm exam week, Shen Hou proposed to break up.Yan Xiaochen smiled and thought, they must think that even if she didn't wash her face with tears, she should have tears in her eyes, but they didn't know that in the summer when she was eighteen, she had already shed all the tears in her life. There is a crooked old alley outside the west gate of the school, and there are many bars in the alley.Probably because it is adjacent to this famous university all over the country, the bars here can only be considered moderate in terms of consumption, but they are famous for their uniqueness and connotation. The guests who come and go are either cultural and art practitioners or white-collar elites. Probably in order to cater to the customer base, the bar likes to recruit female college students to work part-time.Yan Xiaochen works part-time at the Blue Moon Bar. The working hours are from 6:30 to 10:30 in the evening. He used to work three days a week, and there were fewer senior courses. Yan Xiaochen was short of money, so he changed it to four days in order to earn more. A female college student working in a bar will always make people have some bad associations. It is not that there were no other part-time jobs to choose from back then, but this job is the time and salary that are most suitable for Yan Xiaochen, so she doesn't care about what others think up. When Yan Xiaochen arrived at the Blue Moon Bar, the band was warming up. Apple and Mary who had already arrived were preparing candles and flowers, which were used as decorations on the wine table to create an atmosphere.There are many foreign customers in the bar, and most of the waiters only regard it as a temporary place to stay, and they don't want to use their real names, so they all took English names. Yan Xiaochen greeted them and went to change clothes in the narrow utility room.After a while, another colleague, Yoyo, also arrived.While chatting with her, Yan Xiaochen put on makeup with cheap cosmetics.She has always been reluctant to spend money on these things, but makeup is a job requirement, and considering the monthly income of one or two thousand yuan, everything is acceptable.After more than two years, her make-up skills have improved limitedly, but her make-up speed has improved rapidly. In less than ten minutes, everything has been cleaned up. In terms of the classification of bars, Blue Moon Bar is a quiet bar, but generally there will be no singing and dancing, and there will never be sexy girls with hot bodies twisting their buttocks and boobs.Blue Moon Bar, just like its name, Blue Moon (Blue means both blue and melancholy in English), is very melancholic and literary, and the band plays lyrical slow songs. And chat mainly.Of course, a bar is a bar after all. Occasionally, there will be noisy scenes due to customers, but as long as it is not too much, the boss does not object, and the guests are very welcome. Because of the style of the bar, the dresses of the waitresses are also very normal. In summer, you can wear denim shorts, and in winter, you can wear denim trousers. The upper body is a red and white plaid shirt with a British preppy collar. A bow tie, the only requirement is to show a little waist. Compared with the navel dresses and suspenders on the street, the clothes of the waitresses in the Blue Moon Bar are not revealing at all.Yan Xiaochen objectively commented that this kind of attire is both serious and playful. The boss knows exactly what he wants, and the business of Blue Moon Bar has always been good. After eight o'clock, the number of customers gradually increased. Every day, there will be new faces in the bar, and there will be many regular customers.I don't know what kind of customers the other waitresses like the most. Yan Xiaochen likes foreigners the most, which has nothing to do with worshiping foreigners. The only reason is because some foreigners will give tips.Yan Xiaochen will remember the tipping guests especially well, but the guest Apple, Mary and Yoyo remember most is—a handsome man. "Hydshick is here, right at the door!" Apple yelled excitedly with a few glasses of cocktails in his hands.All the waitresses, cashiers and bartenders turned their heads and stared at the customers who had just opened the door.It can be regarded as a kind of pastime in the boring working life. The waiters like to talk about the guests, from guessing their work income to guessing whether their female companions are wives or mistresses.There is also a tradition in the Blue Moon Bar. For guests who are impressed, they will be scored, ranked, and given titles based on their appearance, clothing, and manners. It is the title of the ten most expensive wines in the world.Heidsieck's accurate statement is Heidsieck 1907, Heidsieck 1907, a bottle of wine sells for around 280,000 US dollars, ranking second in the world. Mr. Heideschke 1907 is not a regular customer. He visited the Blue Moon Bar for the first time last week, but all the waiters were very impressed with him and made him on the list immediately.Yan Xiaochen had two exams last week and didn't go to work, but he had already listened to countless gossips about him last night.It is said that this person has a noble appearance and elegant temperament, and he can tell that he is of extraordinary wealth at a glance, but he is very humble and polite, and he is very generous in tips, and he will say thank you every time he serves.Although everyone works part-time just to make money and doesn't care whether the guests say thank you or not, but if the guests say thank you, everyone will always feel a little relieved. Yan Xiaochen followed everyone's gaze and glanced casually.Mr. Heidthick 1907 is tall and tall, wearing rimless glasses, a well-tailored suit and a trench coat.Yan Xiaochen sighed secretly, "The appearance is not bad", then turned around and went to work, not expecting to receive the benefactor.However, Apple and the three of them didn't go over immediately. If they were regular customers, whoever's guest would greet them, but now, the guests don't have any preference, they can't be regarded as anyone's guests, and they all want to go. On the contrary, no one greeted Heideschke 1907.The bartender William was making a drink while laughing, "Why don't you bet on alcohol, whoever wins will go!" Obviously, he was very happy to see a few young women competing for the man's popularity. But Mary, who worked the longest, let him down, "Take turns, the three of us have already been there, let Olivia go this time." Olivia is Yan Xiaochen. When she first came to work in the bar, she didn't have an English name. For the convenience of work, she named herself Olivia casually. Neither Apple nor Yoyo had any objections, nor did Yan Xiaochen.She put down the towel in her hand and walked over quickly, "Welcome! Sir, how many are there?" Heidshik didn't seem to understand what she said, and looked at her in a daze.Yan Xiaochen asked again with a smile, and Heideschke finally realized, and replied, "One." Yan Xiaochen led him to table number nine, a seat for two in a corner.She lit the small candle on the table first, and then gave him the wine list. He didn't look at it, and said directly, "Heifang, add ice, and I want a fruit platter." After Yan Xiaochen paid the bill, he brought black cubes and ice cubes to him. He kept silent and didn't say thank you, but he gave a lot of tips, 30%, which far exceeded Yan Xiaochen's expectations. William asked in surprise: "So generous? What did you say to him?" "Nothing said, same as usual." Apple didn't believe it, "Impossible!" Yoyo said with a half-smile: "As expected of a college student from a prestigious university, he is just different from us!" After working in a bar for more than two years, this is not the first time Yan Xiaochen has heard these sarcasm. Packed the money and went to work. After half past nine, the store was almost full.Everyone was tired after standing for half the night. From time to time, they hid in the corner, leaning against the bar or the wall, changing their left foot to the right foot, and rested for a while. Apple and April, the female lead singer of the band, speculated whether Heideschke 1907 had a girlfriend. Apple said: "I have come here several times. If there is a girlfriend, I will definitely come together. Obviously there is no girlfriend!" April said: "He His behavior is very calm, he should be around thirty, he looks good, and he is very rich, so it is impossible not to have a girlfriend!" Yoyo is a man of action. By delivering ice water, he went for a walk and chatted with Heideshick. When he came back, he said with a smile, "I don't have a girlfriend!" Yoyo’s words are like a fire bomb, which immediately ignites the hearts of all girls. Most of the men on the ranking list have their own masters, and some grasses have more than one master. In Yoyo’s words, people have the capital of being philandering, Women are willing too. William fanned the flames, "It's rare to meet a man with both good looks and wealth, hurry up! Even if you can't get his money, it's worth it if you can get his body!" April asked, "Is it straight?" William said: "If it was bent, I would have acted long ago and would have advised you to do it?" Everyone laughed, April fell in love with a gay once, William tried to persuade her again and again, but she didn't believe it, and it turned out that William was right, April was very sad for a while.From then on, April always liked to ask William to scan and make sure when he met a man who was more outstanding. Mary, the oldest, just thirty years old, is already full of serious topics about the limited youth of women, and said slowly: "Don't waste time! Even if you don't have a girlfriend, it's not our turn. It's right to put it in the window Look at the LV in the store! No matter how good it is, just take a look and enjoy it!" "Why do you want to enjoy it? Even if you can't afford it, you can go to the store to try it!" Yoyo looks a bit like Jia Jingwen at first glance , because of her beautiful looks, she is popular everywhere, and her personality is relatively public.She took out a piece of one hundred yuan and patted it on the table, "Let's start a bet! Whoever can get him tonight will win! I bet myself to win! Is there anyone else participating?" William is a senior bartender and earns a lot, so he put a hundred yuan in without hesitation, glanced at the faces of the five girls, and said with a smile: "I bet April wins." April used to dance folk dances , after graduation, she couldn't find a job, so she came to the bar to sing. She is tall, thin, fair-skinned, and has black waist-length hair. Her dressing style is Yang Liping's national style, but the colors are more plain and the style is more life-like. Some, very goddess of literature and art style, very popular with white-collar elite men. April smiled and took out a hundred dollars from the wallet, put it gently on the table, and then pointed at herself, indicating that she would win the bet. "I don't earn as much as you guys." Apple put fifty dollars, "With Yoyo and April around, I don't have much hope, but I'm betting on myself!" Sister Mary also took out 50 yuan, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I'm participating, betting on Yoyo to win." No one asked Yan Xiaochen, not because everyone rejected her, but because everyone knew that she was frugal and stingy, she was a miser, and never participated in any activities that might lose money. "Did not agree to have a meal with me. He is very smart. Seeing that we went to ask him out one by one, and asked if we would bet with him, I did it all." April rarely misses a date with a man, and his mood is a little depressed. Yoyo said while putting wine on the tray: "Don't feel bad! People who are successful in this kind of career are workaholics. They only know how to work overtime. It's boring! It's better to Mingying, Handsome and good at playing! Next time he comes, let him take us out to play!" The exact name of Screaming Eagle is Screaming Eagle Cabernet 1992, Screaming Eagle Cabernet 1992, the number one wine in the world, and the price of a bottle of wine is 500,000 US dollars.Yan Xiaochen hasn't seen this man who ranks first in the Blue Moon Bar. He is a regular customer and has been here many times, but every time he comes, Yan Xiaochen happens to be off work, so she has never seen Mingying 1992 Mr. William snickered, "Some people can't eat grapes and say the grapes are sour!" Yoyo said: "I call it self-comfort!" Apple looked at the money on the table and asked: "No one wins, the game is cancelled?" Everyone was planning to get their money back, Yan Xiaochen suddenly asked: "I join the game now, okay?" Nine hundred and fifty yuan, she has been staring at it for a long time. It feels like it is not a few thin banknotes, but her future job, her basic necessities of life, her everything! Apple pouted, "April and Yoyo both lost, you join now, you can only bet on yourself to win!" William said eagerly: "We have been working together for two years, and I have never seen Olivia make a move. Welcome, welcome!" April shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Yes!" Yoyo smiled, "No problem, but it's just embarrassing for many people!" Seeing that no one objected, Yan Xiaochen took out 50 yuan and put it on the table, "I bet I win." The 50 yuan was still the tip Heideschick 1907 gave just now. Everyone stared at Yan Xiaochen, and Apple even served the wine, intending to follow her to witness the whole process of her loss. Yan Xiaochen knew very well that there were three lessons learned from the past, and if she went directly to invite her, she would definitely fail, but for a thousand dollars, she had to win! Yan Xiaochen didn't go to table No. 9, but walked to the side of the band. Just after a song was over, she said to the band, "Can I have a minute?" "No problem!" The male lead singer Joe smiled and handed the microphone to Yan Xiaochen. Yan Xiaochen took a deep breath and tried her best to smile, "Mr. Table Nine, hello! You don't know me, but I really want to treat you to dinner." The bar was quiet for a moment, and everyone immediately looked around for table number nine. After seeing Heideschke 1907 clearly, they probably thought that Yan Xiaochen was fascinated by male sex. The whistle sounded, and some people applauded and some laughed. Based on her observations, Yan Xiaochen deduced that Heideschke acted prudently and was lenient with others, so she probably didn't like this kind of limelight, but she had no choice but to risk it all and take a gamble. Yan Xiaochen looked at him from afar and said: "I am very sincere! The time is up to you, no matter what time it is! I have already chosen the location. The restaurant has a magnificent building and a warm environment. There are classic dishes of Western food, as well as Islamic special barbecues, and soups of various flavors, there is absolutely what you want to eat!" Every time Yan Xiaochen said a word, the guests at the bar would yell a few times in a cooperative manner. "This girl spent all her money to chase after a man!" "Just for these food, promise!" Under normal circumstances, girls should be very shy when they do this kind of thing in public, but Yan Xiaochen did it completely for the money, and she wasn't shy at all. She was nervous, but she was just worried that she wouldn't get the money.Yan Xiaochen imitated April's posture of bowing and saluting after singing, and bowed to Heideschke, "I sincerely invite you, and I hope you can agree!" Laughter, applause, and whistles were heard endlessly, and the atmosphere in the bar was like a pot of boiling water, extremely enthusiastic.Everyone expects Heidesick to say yes, and someone keeps shouting: "Yes, yes! Yes!" Yan Xiaochen knew that he was a bit despicable, and used the ignorant masses to put pressure on him.It's not hard to reject someone!But it is not an easy task to reject so many people who are full of expectations! Finally, he stood up, as if he had said something, but was immediately overwhelmed by thunderous applause and cheers, Yan Xiaochen didn't hear anything clearly, and still stood there blankly. The drummer of the band played a cheerful and passionate drum kit, and the male lead singer Joe smiled and said to her: "He agreed!" Yan Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed down from the stage. Everywhere she passed was filled with good-natured laughter and blessings. She said "Thank you, thank you" indiscriminately, and hurried to the bar, "Where's the money?" William gave her the money, Yan Xiaochen counted it, it was a thousand dollars, she couldn't help but put it on her lips, and kissed her hard. April had a strange expression, "You're not just doing it for the money, are you?" It might be difficult for the goddess of literature and art to understand her vulgarity, Yan Xiaochen smiled and said nothing. William said: "A bottle of juice in a high-end restaurant costs two to three hundred yuan, and one thousand yuan for two people, which is not enough to eat!" Yoyo smiled and patted Yan Xiaochen's shoulder, half-gloating, half-warning: "It's all the fault of lust! However, I made a promise in public, but I must do it, otherwise I will lose the face of everyone in Blue Moon Bar! " Apple said contemptuously: "I knew I could win this way, and I could win too." After they left, William asked in a low voice, "Which restaurant did you choose? I'll see if I know any friends and try to find a way to give you a discount." "Thank you, but no need." Yan Xiaochen glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already ten forty, "I'm off work, see you later!" Usually, people who win money will invite everyone to drink and eat some snacks. However, maybe because they knew that Yan Xiaochen boasted in public this time that he was about to bleed, no one mentioned it, and Yan Xiaochen also cheekily pretended to forget it. .When I entered the utility room, I didn't bother to change clothes, so I put on my coat, picked up my bag, and hurried out. The bar is open until 2:30 in the morning, which is the busiest time, but the door of the dormitory is about to be locked. Fortunately, the bar is not far from the school, and there are few people at night, so the bicycle can pedal very fast. , Yan Xiaochen rushed to the dormitory in twelve minutes. Just as Yan Xiaochen got on the bicycle, someone called: "Miss Yan, please stay." The deep and powerful voice was very pleasant, like a cello sonata under a moonlit night. Yan Xiaochen turned around, and it was Mr. Heideschke 1907. The autumn wind was blowing, and under the dim door lamp, he was wearing a European-style windbreaker, stepping on fallen leaves, and walking quickly, as if he had intercepted a video from a romantic European literary film. Yan Xiaochen asked, "What's the matter?" "We haven't made an appointment for dinner yet." Yan Xiaochen was stunned. To be honest, she played with words when inviting him—the time is up to him, any time.It could be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or ten or twenty years later. He promised her at that time that both parties would step down with dignity, but he could set a distant time, so that no one would count as a missed appointment. Yan Xiaochen didn't know if he didn't catch the loopholes in her words, or he was interested in the dishes in her mouth where the north and the south converge, and the east and the west combine, but he helped her win 950 yuan. As long as he is willing, she will definitely will fulfill its promise. Yan Xiaochen asked, "When are you free?" "How about tomorrow?" "it is good!" He took out his mobile phone, "Can you give me your mobile phone number? I can contact you tomorrow." Yan Xiaochen reported the number, and he called her. After the phone rang, he hung up the phone, "This is my phone number, you can call me anytime." Yan Xiaochen didn't bother to say more, "Okay, I got it! I'll send you a text message for other things." She hurried away on her bicycle without waiting for his answer. Riding wildly all the way, it was already eleven twelve by the time we arrived downstairs in the dormitory.The lights of the dormitory are turned off at 11 o'clock and the door is locked, but because there are couples of lovers who are inseparable every night downstairs in the girls' building, when the lock is actually locked, it will always be about ten minutes late. When Yan Xiaochen rushed to the door of the building, the aunt was about to lock it, seeing her appearance, she said angrily, "Be early next time!" Yan Xiaochen put on makeup and came home late at night. Auntie must have thought that she was taking her parents' hard-earned money to study hard, so she went fooling around and scolded her a few times.Yan Xiaochen didn't say a word, just listened meekly. Back in the dormitory, all the roommates were still awake, and everyone had an emergency light.The eldest brother, Wei Tong, was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and was seriously reviewing; the second child, Liu Xinhui, was talking on the phone with his boyfriend in another place; the fourth child, Wu Qianqian, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a laptop, writing a resume. Seeing Yan Xiaochen's return, Wei Tong and Liu Xinhui put aside what they were doing and chatted.The topic of senior year, if not talking about love, is talking about the future, which is very single.Yan Xiaochen and Wu Qianqian have a clear goal, which is to find a job and try to stay in Shanghai, a bustling city where they have lived for more than three years.Liu Xinhui's hometown is in the provincial capital, and her family has arranged for her to work in a large state-owned enterprise with good benefits.Wei Tong wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but was hesitating whether to submit a few resumes to find a job.Speaking of a senior sister last year, because of the postgraduate entrance examination, she missed the opportunity to find a job. Later, she didn't pass the postgraduate entrance examination and couldn't find a job. She could only mix in school and continue the postgraduate entrance examination. In the senior year, whether talking about the future or love, it is a very heavy topic, and everyone feels at a loss about the way forward. Wei Tong said depressedly: "I worked so hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but Xiaochen gave up the postgraduate entrance examination." The cheerful and lively Liu Xinhui said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaochen studied so hard and has always been the first in our class. It’s a pity to give up the postgraduate study!” The shrewd and powerful Wu Qianqian said: "It's not a pity at all! If you don't plan to stay in school to do academic work, business school students should of course go to work as soon as they graduate, and after working for a few years, go abroad to study an MBA in a prestigious school. Xiaochen is smart. People, the choice is correct!" Yan Xiaochen smiled and didn't say anything, it's a pity, it's a pity, she doesn't know if it's correct or not, all she knows is that she has to make money. After washing, she climbed onto the bed, hid in the curtain, counted the money carefully, felt a thousand dollars, and finally felt a little more at ease in her heart! The next day, the morning is a professional class.Wei Tong and Liu Xinhui slept late yesterday and couldn't get up. Wu Qianqian said that a fellow villager would come later and would not go to class. She asked Yan Xiaochen to call them in time if something happened. Yan Xiaochen went to the classroom alone with her schoolbag on her back. In my senior year, more and more people skipped classes. There were more than 30 students in the class, and only a dozen came, sitting sparsely, and the teacher didn't bother to care about it, and taught according to the book.Yan Xiaochen felt that what the teacher said was meaningless, but out of habit, she still sat in the first row and concentrated on taking notes.After class, I went to the self-study room to finish my homework, and it was lunch time.After lunch, she went to the computer room and wrote her resume while reading other people's interview experience. University life seems to be rich and colorful, but what can really be announced on paper is lackluster. Yan Xiaochen has no time to participate in any club and student union activities because of his part-time job, and there is nothing to write about.In order to weave the trivial things of the past three years into a great achievement, she searched her brains and thought hard, completely forgetting the time. It wasn't until the phone on the table vibrated a few times that Yan Xiaochen felt that his eyes were a little dry from staring at the computer for too long.She picked up the phone, and it was a text message from an unfamiliar number, "Are you busy?" She reacted for a while, and then remembered that there was another dinner, and checked yesterday's call records, and it turned out to be Heideschke's number. Yan Xiaochen: "Not busy, what time do you want to eat?" Heideschke: "Anytime." Yan Xiaochen: "What time do you get off work?" Heideschke: "I have more freedom of working hours. I can do whatever time is convenient for you." Yan Xiaochen: "Is it 5:30? I'll wait for you outside the west gate of the school. Do you know how to get there?" Heideschke : "Yes, see you at half past five." Yan Xiaochen arrived at the west gate five minutes earlier than the appointed time. The girls who entered the school looked back frequently, and when they passed by, they heard them talking about "handsome rich men".Yan Xiaochen thought, it couldn't be Heideshick, could it?It can be seen at a glance that they are handsome, but how do they judge whether they have money or not? There were many people coming and going at the school gate, but Yan Xiaochen saw Heideshick at first sight.In the autumn wind, he was wearing a windbreaker, and he had an outstanding temperament. I have to say that the bartender at the Blue Moon Bar has a very reliable vision.Yan Xiaochen stepped forward quickly, but found that she didn't even know his last name, and she didn't know how to address him at all. Looking at each other, she said awkwardly, "Hello." "Hello." He smiled and handed Yan Xiaochen his business card. Yan Xiaochen recalled the interview experience that he had just read in the afternoon and said that when receiving a business card, he should use both hands, learn and sell immediately, took the business card with both hands, and took a quick look. Cheng Zhiyuan. Write down the name first, and ignore everything else, Yan Xiaochen put up the business card and said with a smile: "Let's go eat!" Cheng Zhiyuan wanted to make a phone call, "Where is it? It's off-duty time, it's hard to get a taxi, I'll ask the driver to take it." Yan Xiaochen said, "It's nearby, very close, just walk there." Yan Xiaochen led the way, while Cheng Zhiyuan silently followed her.People looked at them from time to time along the way, but thanks to her ex-boyfriend Shen Hou, Yan Xiaochen was used to these gazes and didn't feel much. Cheng Zhiyuan also looked very calm. Ten minutes later, Yan Xiaochen led Cheng Zhiyuan to stand in front of the school cafeteria. The upper and lower floors can accommodate more than 1,000 people to eat at the same time. The appearance of the building is Western-style, very solemn and magnificent. Yan Xiaochen believes that in Shanghai, where every inch of land is expensive, no restaurant can occupy a larger area and be more imposing. . Walking into the cafeteria, students come and go, and the dining environment is definitely warm enough. Yan Xiaochen became narrow-minded, and while introducing, he waited for Cheng Zhiyuan's wonderful reaction. "The three windows over there are northern noodles, including pulled noodles, pulled noodles, stewed noodles, sliced ​​noodles, scallion pancakes, wontons, dumplings..." "The six windows over there are stir-fried dishes, Kung Pao chicken, dry-roasted fish, braised pork, duck blood soup, salted duck... all kinds of southern dishes are available." "It's Islamic kebab, it's baked and sold right away." "Upstairs are all kinds of stir-fry, as well as sizzling beef tenderloin, British-style fried fish steak, Korean stone pot rice, and Japanese sushi." Finally, she pointed to a row of large iron buckets by the wall and said, "There are all kinds of soups, free of charge." Cheng Zhiyuan was not as surprised and disappointed as Yan Xiaochen expected, looked around calmly, and joked with a smile : "Sure enough, the flavors of the dishes converge from the north to the south, and the east and west are well combined. There are really all kinds of soups." Yan Xiaochen burst out laughing, and the awkward restraint between the two disappeared in an instant. Yan Xiaochen asked, "What do you want to eat?" "Stir fry and rice, no fish, the fish in the cafeteria is really unpalatable." Seeing that he was so upright, Yan Xiaochen felt embarrassed no matter how brazen he was, took him up to the second floor, found a vacant seat by the window for him to sit, "I'm going to buy food, just wait a moment." The fried food on the second floor is better than the one downstairs, and the dining environment is also much better. The price is more than half the price. Usually Yan Xiaochen is reluctant to eat it, but she earned a thousand dollars from Cheng Zhiyuan, so I am really embarrassed to let him eat on the first floor. big pot of rice. I bought a portion of stir-fried shredded chicken with celery, a portion of stewed meat with chestnuts, a portion of lettuce in oyster sauce, and two cups of Coke, which cost less than 70 yuan. Yan Xiaochen handed him the chopsticks, "I hope you can get used to it." "When I was studying, I also ate in the cafeteria every day." Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the students coming and going, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, there are many opportunities to eat outside, but it is very difficult to eat a student meal!" Braised pork with chopsticks and chestnuts. After eating, he praised: "Chinese food abroad has changed its taste, and the braised pork in a serious Chinese restaurant is also at this level." Yan Xiaochen saw that he didn't seem to be speaking politely, so he felt relieved, but became more and more embarrassed.Yan Xiaochen is a soft-hearted person, not afraid of being treated badly by others, but afraid of being treated kindly to her. When playing with words to fool people, she has the mentality that I am a hooligan and I am afraid of whom. Even if the other party is disappointed and angry, let him go!Anyway, what she said was fulfilled, you are stupid if you fell for it!But now Cheng Zhiyuan was talking and laughing as usual, taking care of her face, Yan Xiaochen instead explained, "I wanted to win so much at the time, so I played some tricks. Next time, when I find a job, I will treat you to a good meal." .” "Okay!" Cheng Zhiyuan agreed very simply. Yan Xiaochen felt relieved, and drank the Coke. Although the second floor is a small speculation area, the cafeteria is a cafeteria after all, and it is impossible to have a quiet and quiet dining environment, surrounded by people coming and going, laughing and talking loudly.Suddenly, Yan Xiaochen heard a familiar voice, and immediately glanced to the side. A group of people came upstairs laughing and laughing. Several girls were all dressed in fashion and beautifully, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.Seeing that familiar figure, Yan Xiaochen quickly lowered his head and concentrated on eating. A group of people went upstairs, separated, and went to occupy seats and buy things familiarly.一个男生揽着女伴去买饮料,走到一半,看到了颜晓晨,突然站住,刻意地高声问:“沈侯,你喝什么饮料?” 正站在窗口研究菜单的一个高个男生回头,看到颜晓晨,似有些意外,视线在颜晓晨和程致远身上逗留了几秒,对问他话的男生冷冷地说:“赵宇桓,你没病吧?”说完,就又去研究菜单了。 赵宇桓指指颜晓晨旁边的空座位,让女伴去占座。一会儿后,他端着饮料坐到了颜晓晨旁边的座位。 沈侯和其他人买好饭菜,也陆陆续续走过来坐下,一个男生特意跟颜晓晨打招呼,“颜晓晨,你不介意我们坐这里吧?” “不介意。”颜晓晨笑了笑,继续吃饭。 他们在旁边说说笑笑,谁谁开了辆什么车,哪个学校的校花被谁谁追到了。 沈侯翻翻拣拣地吃了一些,扔了筷子,拿着iPhone手机玩游戏。赵宇桓凑过来问:“颜晓晨,不给我们介绍一下你对面的男士吗?”他看颜晓晨不搭理他,直接对程致远说:“认识一下,我是颜晓晨的朋友,叫赵宇桓。” “你好,我是程致远。” “看你的样子,像是传说中的事业成功人士,到学校来泡妹妹?”程致远显然明白了赵宇桓是在找麻烦,不清楚他和颜晓晨的过节,没有贸然开口,选择了无视,继续吃饭。 赵宇桓对旁边的哥们儿阴阳怪气地说:“我现在终于知道你们学校每天晚上停的那一排排豪车都是什么人开的了。” 大家都看着颜晓晨和程致远笑。 赵宇桓怪模怪样地叹气,“为了泡上妹妹,不但要有豪车,还要能吃食堂,这就叫能屈能伸的泡妞秘技啊!” 沈侯面无表情,埋着头打游戏,其他人笑得前仰后合。 赵宇桓问:“程先生,你打过炮了吗?” 也不知道程致远有没有听懂,他平静地看了赵宇桓一眼,依旧缄默。颜晓晨却火了,她笑眯眯地站起来,一边喝着可乐,一边走到赵宇桓面前,把剩下的半杯子可乐浇到了赵宇桓头上,微笑着说:“我一直都想这么干,谢谢你今天终于给了我机会!” 怪笑声消失了,沈侯也终于抬起了头,看到赵宇桓的狼狈样子,一瞬间,好似想笑,又立即忍住了,表情很是古怪。 赵宇桓愣了一瞬,摸了把脸,才反应过来,猛地跳起来,“我×你妈!”想揍颜晓晨,程致远一把拖开颜晓晨,沈侯拉住了赵宇桓。 赵宇桓一边想挣脱沈侯,一边指着颜晓晨破口大骂。 食堂里的学生们都不买饭了,全围过来,八卦地看着他们,还有人唯恐天下不乱地嚷:“打架了!打架了!” 颜晓晨对程致远说:“我们走!” 两人匆匆走出食堂,发现天已经黑了。 颜晓晨心里有些憋闷,埋着头沉默地走路,程致远也没吭声。 走了好一会儿,颜晓晨才想起他,“你吃饱了吗?” "full." 颜晓晨抱歉地说:“你别客气,如果没有,学校外面有一家烤串店不错,我带你去尝尝。” 程致远笑着说:“不是客气,真吃饱了。” “刚才的事,不好意思。” "It doesn't matter." “学校里不让出租车进来,我送你到校门口。” “我认得路,自己过去就行了。” “没事,我也想走一走。” 程致远没再拒绝,“赵宇桓真是你朋友?” “是我前男友的朋友。” “你的前男友……那个一直在玩游戏的男生?” “嗯,你怎么猜出来的?” “他看上去最不在意,可你用可乐浇了赵宇桓后,他第一个跳出来,拉住了赵宇桓。他和赵宇桓中间还隔了两个男生。” 颜晓晨嘴里说:“他喜欢运动,反射弧比一般人短!”心里的憋闷却淡了许多。 程致远不置可否地笑,一副见惯青春期孩子小心思的样子,“你们为什么闹别扭?” 颜晓晨不服气地说:“第一,我们不是闹别扭,是分手了!第二,程先生,你也没比我们大许多,不要一副老人家的样子!” “第一,我已年过三十,的确比你们大了不少!第二,颜小姐,我们商量件事,我直接叫你颜晓晨,你也直接叫我程致远,好吗?” “好!”颜晓晨也实在受不了“颜小姐”这称呼。 已经到了校门口,他站住,伸出手,“很高兴认识你,颜晓晨。” 颜晓晨常常听到别人叫她的名字,可从他口中说出来,却有一种难以言喻的凝重,让她觉得怪怪的。颜晓晨伸出手,学着面试礼仪上说的,坦然注视对方,不轻不重地和他握了一下,“我也很高兴认识你,程致远。” 程致远笑了,颜晓晨也忍不住笑起来。 程致远说:“不用陪我等车了,你先回去吧!” 颜晓晨想了想,程致远是个大男人,现在才七点多,不会有安全问题,她也的确还有一堆事情要做,不再客气,“那我先走了。” "goodbye!" 颜晓晨没有回宿舍,去了英语角,练习口语。 现在最吃香的就业单位不是大国企就是政府机关,但颜晓晨在上海一无亲朋,二无好友,实在不敢指望自己能进入这些香饽饽单位,只能把找工作的目标放在知名外企上。很多外企招聘时,会用英文面试,颜晓晨虽然考试成绩不错,口语却一般,以前没想过出国,一直没太重视,后来才反应过来,找工作也要口语好。这才仗着成绩好,赶紧找了个留学生,她辅导留学生中文,留学生陪她练习英语。 颜晓晨练习到十点钟,口干舌燥地和留学生说了再见。 回到宿舍,三个舍友一看到颜晓晨,如打了鸡血一般激动,“听说你和沈侯出事了?” 看来有同学目睹了食堂的闹剧,颜晓晨笑着说:“都说现在能源缺乏,什么时候科学家能研究出用八卦做动力,不要说地球的供电取暖,就是人类征服银河系都指日可待了。” 魏彤说:“别转移话题!” 刘欣晖好奇地问:“你们真打起来了?” 颜晓晨说:“不是我和沈侯,是我和他的一个朋友起了点小冲突。” 她拿起盆子、毛巾和热水瓶,准备去洗漱。 吴倩倩忙问:“然后呢?” 颜晓晨说:“我很快就走了,没有然后了。”她关上了卫生间的门,却不可能关上舍友们的声音。 同宿舍三年多,四个女孩虽然不能说相处得多么亲密无间,却也算是亲切友好,大概是体谅到晓晨毕竟是被甩掉的一方,虽然还在议论着沈侯,却不再追问她了。 “沈侯竟然报考了雅思!” “他要出国?难怪我们都压力很大,他还那么清闲。” “他成绩应该很差吧?能申请到学校吗?” “申请英国的学校呗!只要英语能过,交够钱,英国的学校不难申请。” “他英语成绩好像不错,我记得大二第二学期就过了六级。” “他家很有钱吧?” “去英国读硕士几十万就够了,不需要很有钱了!沈侯家应该有点小钱,但肯定不算真有钱,我还撞见他在班尼路买衣服呢!他在外面的房子也是租的,咱们院真有钱的应该是李成颂、罗洁,罗洁的爸妈可是直接给她在学校附近买了一套房……” 颜晓晨打开了水龙头,哗哗的水声终于将“沈侯”两字挡在了她的耳朵外面。 商学院是学校的大院,六个专业,每一届学生有两百多名,可从大一开始,每一次宿舍的卧谈会,只要八卦男生,就总会绕到沈侯身上,不仅仅是因为他长得高大英俊,还因为他和别的大一新生太不一样。他们学校也算是有点名气的重点大学,商学院又是热门学院,分数线很高,大家都是一路过五关斩六将杀出重围,才挤了进来,每个人都是“好学生”。 刚上大一时,大家或多或少都保留着高中时代的习惯,对待学习很严肃认真,沈侯在一群“好学生”中间,显得非常另类,竟然开学第一周就因为玩魔兽世界,开始逃课。当所有大一新生还像高中时一样,暗暗比较学习成绩时,沈侯已经把大一过得像大四了,忙着四处吃喝玩乐。 随着时间推移,无数曾经的尖子生开始拿着刚刚及格的分数,很多人都在大学这个大染缸里“腐化堕落”了,估计整个学院两百多名学生,除了颜晓晨,每个人都逃过课,沈侯不再那么扎眼,可他依旧是话题的中心。等颜晓晨洗漱完,大家已经都安静了,看书的看书,上网的上网。 颜晓晨爬上床,拉好布帘子,有了一个自己的小小独立空间。她拿出手机,准备充电时,才看到有好几条未读短信。 一条陌生人,三条沈侯。 颜晓晨先看了陌生人的短信,“很久没有在食堂吃饭了,好像回到了学生时代,真的很亲切。谢谢!” 是程致远。 颜晓晨一直没有存他的电话号码,因为觉得兑现了“约定”后,不会再有交集,他只是个陌生人,他的名字、他的号码、他的人,很快就会被遗忘。可现在,因为他一次又一次照顾了她可怜的尊严,连狡诈无赖的食堂请客都变得好像很有意思,他变得不再那么陌生,而且她说了等找到工作后,再请他吃顿饭。也许他没当真,也许当颜晓晨真邀请时,他压根儿没时间搭理她,可她一定会做到。 看看时间,是三个小时前发送的短信,反正也不知道说什么,颜晓晨就懒得回了。 输入他的名字,摁了保存。霎时间,所有陌生的短信,都有了名字“程致远”。很奇怪,只是一个简单的改变,却让手机屏幕看上去舒服了许多。颜晓晨打开了沈侯的短信,第一条短信是八点发的。 “你在哪里?我来找你。” 八点半,第二条短信。 “你是没看到短信,还是不想回我的短信?不是说好了,分手后依旧是朋友吗?你要不想理我,吱一声!我保证彻底消失!” 九点二十五分,第三条短信。 “看到短信后,给我消息。” 颜晓晨立即回复:“抱歉,刚看到短信。找我什么事?” 不一会儿,沈侯的短信就到了:“没事就不能找你?” “你不是说我很闷吗?没事找我,不是更闷?” “女人真记仇!你今天太冲动了吧?赵宇桓是嘴巴欠抽,可真闹起来,你能打得过他?” “打不过也要打!就算打输了,他也会明白,我不是他戏耍的对象,下次见了我,肯定会收敛一点。” “看不出来啊!你竟然有这么火暴的一面!我一直把你当成吃素的,没想到你是伪装成食草动物的食肉动物!” 颜晓晨忍不住笑起来,不知道回复什么,却舍不得放下手机。宿舍的灯熄了,她躺倒,把手机调成了振动,握在手中。 “你晚上干什么呢?我发了三条短信都没看到。” “和留学生练英语,手机放在书包里,没听到。” “一整个晚上都在努力学习?” “先去英语角和别人随便聊了一会儿,后来辅导了留学生一小时功课,他辅导了我一小时英语。” “你有兴趣出国?” “为了找工作。” “今天晚上和你吃饭的男人是谁?” 颜晓晨拿着手机,不知道该怎么回答,朋友?显然算不上。stranger?不太可能熟悉到一起吃晚饭。总不能说这顿晚饭价值一千块钱吧?沈侯的短信又到了,“不会是新男友吧?你的速度可不要太吓人!咱俩才刚分手!” 颜晓晨盯着最后一句话看了一会儿,心情竟然有点好,至少说明沈侯还没新女友,“不是,就是随便一起吃顿饭。” “你确定你没打错字?我是你男朋友时,想约你看电影,也不能随便吧?要不我们明天晚上也随便一起出去玩玩?” “我明天要打工。” “和别人吃饭,就是随便。和我看电影,不是要打工,就是要学习。”颜晓晨无奈地苦笑,这人说得苦大仇深,实际他只约过她两次,正好一次赶上她要打工,一次赶上第二天做案例报告,他们案例小组已经定好了晚上做练习,“你已经和我分手了,随便不随便还重要吗?” 好一会儿后,沈侯的短信又到了,“不重要了!不过,你好歹给我留点面子,不要那么快moveon,在我没有交新女朋友之前,你也别交新男朋友,成吗?” 颜晓晨像蜗牛一般慢慢地打了两个字:“可以。” 沈侯没有再回复,颜晓晨却一直没有放下手机,就如她对他的感情,不管他知道不知道,在意不在意,她一直没有放下过。
