Chapter 44 B-4

Three days later, the banquet was held as scheduled. Duan Rui was surprised when he saw Sang Li's dress for the first time. He reached out to look through the logo inside, and smacked his tongue, "Junior Sister, did you buy this?" Sang Li replied shyly, "I borrowed it from a friend." "Oh." Duan Rui didn't doubt it, but just nodded, "This brand of clothes is so expensive." After thinking about it, he said, "But after dealing with today's incident, it's not difficult to buy such a dress. Junior sister, you might as well buy a few good clothes. There will always be occasions to use them in the future."

"There is an occasion" - this is the second time I have heard this word recently, Sang Li asked while arranging his clothes: "We are students, what occasion can we have?" "Why not?" Duan Rui looked at Sang Li with the eyes of a child: "Sometimes you go out to socialize with the teacher, and sometimes you go out to socialize with your brothers and sisters, and sometimes you have to go out to participate in competitions, and the teacher who leads the team will also go out to socialize." I will take you to have dinner with some inexplicable people... There are many occasions, do you think that one-third of an acre of land in our school is enough for you to hang around?"

Sang Li was a little surprised: "Entertainment... just eat?" "Eat, and sometimes drink some wine. After eating, maybe they will sing or dance. At most, they will go clubbing together." Duan Rui replied nonchalantly. Sang Li said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. Duan Rui thought she was thinking about money, so she enlightened her: "Actually, although our tuition fees are a bit more expensive, there are many part-time job opportunities, so it is not impossible to earn back. For example, if someone gives you a tip, you will naturally accept it, and sometimes you will also accompany someone to socialize." If you have income, as long as it doesn’t touch moral issues, you can take it. But you don’t always give cash, sometimes you give shopping cards, then you can use it to buy some good clothes. After all, dressing better is also good for others. respect."

Sang Li was startled: "Shopping card? That's okay?" After putting on her makeup, Duan Rui walked out of the dressing room and waved her hands: "Next time I have a chance to take you to see it, but it's actually not as serious as you think. Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, this is not the old society. Even if No matter how wicked the entertainer is, if you don't want to, he can't force it, isn't that illegal. So you see those girls in our school who come and go in famous cars and wear 'Ports' at every turn, it's just your wish. "

Looking back at Sang Li's silly expression, Duan Rui smiled: "Do you know Luo Jing, who sings from the four nationalities?" Sang Li nodded. Duan Rui raised her lips slightly: "With her professional level, who would like to give her a concert? But she can hold a solo concert in the provincial capital hall, and it can be done for 20,000 yuan. Who do you think is so kind-hearted? Lei Feng?" Sang Li looked at Duan Rui, not knowing what to say. "Her boyfriend is the son of the boss of the oil field, do you know?" Duan Rui stretched out a finger and nodded Sang Li's forehead: "In these days, falling in love also has added value."

While talking, Duan Rui opened the door of the dressing room, just in time to see Shen Jie walking towards the banquet hall surrounded by a group of people.Duan Rui turned around, pointed at Shen Jie, and said to Sang Li who was standing behind him, poking his head, "See, if you can be with this kind of person, let alone hold a concert, even if you want to gain some fame, he can do it." help you." Sang Li was tongue-tied, and only realized after a while that he asked, "So old..." "old?" Duan Rui snorted: "He is about thirty years old, and it is the golden age of a man, how can he be old?"

Just after finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something: "Oh, by the way, I heard you have a boyfriend?" Sang Li nodded. "I heard it's Mr. Guo's son? Is it true?" Duan Rui was curious. Sang Li was a little embarrassed, but nodded after thinking about it. Duan Rui smiled: "It's not bad. When you graduate in the future, let Teacher Guo give you a detention. It's so comfortable to be a teacher or something." "I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to sing." Sang Li looked at Shen Jie's back, subconsciously brushing the purple dress on his body.

"Then go to the Provincial Opera House and ask your boyfriend's father to help you. Isn't Teacher Guo's husband quite capable? Senior officer..." Duan Rui blinked as she led Sang Li to the banquet hall. "Uncle Xiang? He won't, he's very upright." Sang Li muttered. "Tch, it's not a piece of cake to go to the Provincial Opera House based on your professional level. It's just a matter of saying hello to him, and it won't affect his always decent personal image." Duan Rui said indifferently. Sang Li is a little confused: this seems to be a more realistic and utilitarian world, which is fundamentally different from her original music dream, but closely related.

So, after all, is this ideal path of mine really achievable? It was night, and the Zhongyue banquet hall was brightly lit. Those strange faces came and went, and it could be seen that most of them were well-educated people, polite and polite, and they could often be heard talking in English.During the interval when he was not singing, Sang Li looked curiously at Shen Jie who was busy chatting with various people in the middle of the hall. Today he was wearing a dark suit and tie with diagonal stripes. . Sang Li looked at it and thought: Actually, he is not an annoying person.Although he looks rich, he is not hateful. On the contrary, he is very knowledgeable and considerate, but he is too old, hehe...

While thinking about it, I wanted to secretly laugh. There was a lot of schadenfreude and ridicule in the smile. It seemed that "31 years old" was already very depressed and miserable.She even secretly thought: If there was no employment relationship, wouldn't it be necessary to call him "Mr. Shen" instead of "Uncle Shen"? Thinking of this, more and more smiles came to the corners of his lips. From a distance, Shen Jie glanced in Sang Li's direction while talking and laughing, and happened to see her smiling at him.Subconsciously, he also smiled back at her, but she didn't respond!

Shen Jie was a little strange, after thinking about it, he called a waiter and gave some instructions in a soft voice. After a while, a waiter walked up to Sang Li, smiled and said to her, "Miss Sang, Mr. Shen said that you and Miss Duan can come over and have something to eat." "Dinner?" Sang Li was a little surprised: "You don't need to sing anymore?" "Boss Shen said that when you are full, you can play a few piano pieces at will, and you don't need to sing." The waiter was respectful. Sang Li was very happy, and hurried over to summon Duan Rui, and the two held hands to get something to eat. Zhongyue's pastry has always been carefully made, and Sangli ate one piece, and then another piece, and finally took a few more pieces and put them on his own plate.Just turned around and wanted to hide out to eat with Duan Rui, but found that Duan Rui had been stopped by a strange man to chat.You can vaguely hear the man ask something like "Which department do you work in? Why haven't you seen it before?" Duan Rui smiled politely and replied, "I'm a student at the Academy of Art, and I play piano part-time here"... Sang Li blinked, and quietly left alone, thinking: I wonder if this man has a strong "added value"? Sang Li hid alone in the greenhouse courtyard connected to the banquet hall to eat snacks, only halfway through the meal did he realize that he hadn't picked up a drink.Just as she was about to get up and go back to the banquet hall, she found a glass of orange juice handed over to her in front of her. Sang Li looked up in surprise and found that it was Shen Jie. "Surprised? I thought you could guess it was me." Shen Jie smiled and sat down on the bench beside Sang Li. Sang Li took it over with some embarrassment, said "thank you", and turned to see Shen Jie leaning on the back of the bench with eyes closed and tired face.Sang Li took a sip of orange juice, cleared his throat and asked, "Mr. Shen, have you eaten?" Shen Jie still closed his eyes and replied, "No time." "Then you're not hungry?" Sang Li asked curiously. "I'm used to it." The voice was still flat. Sang Li hesitated for a moment, then looked down at his own plate with many small snacks and only snacks on it, thought for a while and asked, "Then... do you eat snacks?" Shen Jie opened his eyes and saw Sang Li looking at him hesitantly. Under the moonlight, the girl's pretty face now had a gentle radiance.With a sudden movement in my heart, I asked back: "Eat these?" Seeing him looking at his plate in disbelief, Sang Li was annoyed: "Forget it, I don't think you're dirty yet." Shen Jie was taken aback, laughed loudly, reached out to take Sang Li's dinner plate and took some snacks to eat, while saying: "Who said I think you are dirty? I am afraid that you are not full, now you have learned from Lei Feng, and you will go back tonight Still hungry." Sang Li looked at Shen Jie's face buried in eating snacks, as if he had been hungry for a long time, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him in his heart, thinking: It's actually not easy to be rich... In the middle, Shen Jie raised his head and pointed to the orange juice in Sang Li's hand: "Water—" Sang Li hastily handed over the orange juice and said, "Don't choke." Shen Jie took a big sip and looked at Sang Li's eyes full of pity, why is it like a little girl looking at a puppy?Thinking it was funny, he asked, "You don't want to drink anymore?" Only then did Sang Li realize: "Ah, I'm sorry, I've already drank—" Shen Jie answered smoothly: "It's okay, I don't think you are dirty." Sang Li blushed quickly, got up, stared at Shen Jie fiercely for two seconds, suddenly smiled strangely, looked at Shen Jie and said quickly: "Thank you, Uncle." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and ran back to the banquet hall. Shen Jie was drinking orange juice when he choked on this name and coughed it up violently.While running, Sang Li heard the sound of coughing behind him, smiled and felt that it was really a relief... That night, Sang Li didn't know that Shen Jie looked at her back, annoyed and funny.However, besides being good-tempered and funny, there is more curiosity and more desire. If he just wanted her to be someone who came and went in and out of his world before, then since that night, his desire to fully own her has become stronger and stronger. It's just that at that time, Sang Li wouldn't make any response, and wouldn't even think a little bit more in the direction of the distance. Because at the age of nineteen, there was no need to emphasize it at all, and Sang Li also firmly believed that in this world, Sang Li only loved Xiang Ning. This is the purest and most beautiful first half of her life - when we can and have the opportunity to love someone with all our hearts and minds, that is the pinnacle of our youth, and how magnificent the love at that time is!
