Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Dislocation is also Fate

Blind dates are an amazing thing, and they can make two people who could have talked or known each other for years very awkward because of the presence of both parents. According to the parents of both sides, although there is no need for an introducer between Zeng Fei and Feng Lan, their representatives married in a neighboring city with a serious attitude and respect for their future in-laws.Zeng Fei's father passed away, Zeng Fei's older sister Zeng Wen married to a neighboring city, Zeng Fei's mother has been living with her daughter Zeng Wen, and this time the mother and daughter came here on purpose.Since they were all female guests, Feng Lan's father did not show up, and her mother was the plenipotentiary representative.They are all acquaintances, and they came here for a common goal. The "talks" of the elders started in a cordial and harmonious atmosphere.

Mother Feng spoke in a reserved manner, boasting her daughter's various advantages without any trace, saying that there are quite a few people chasing Feng Lan, but their family values ​​fate.Obviously, Zeng Fei is such a predestined person. Zeng Fei's mother has a bright personality. She has lived with her husband south for most of her life, but she is still an authentic old lady in the north. She does not hide her satisfaction with Feng Lan. The impatient and warm-hearted sister went back together and started to arrange the wedding. They chatted enthusiastically, from the friendship between the two old men back then, to the birth dates of Zeng Fei and Feng Lan, and to the fact that the green onions in the west market are one yuan cheaper per catty than those in the east.On the contrary, the two young people seemed a little "shy".

Zeng Fei showed more patience than Feng Lan. He didn't interrupt much, but he would respond to their topics with laughter from time to time.Holding the coffee, Feng Lan looked at Zeng Fei quietly, she knew that his heart and soul were not here. Before coming here, Feng Lan had done "dying struggle".She complained to her parents, why it must be Zeng Fei, so she can't change it, "Zhang Fei" or "Li Fei" are fine, at least it is a fresh face, even if it doesn't work out afterwards, it still has a sense of freshness.Once again, her mother tried her best to persuade her that the family members were not interfering with her love, and it was not that she had never loved before. What happened to her after the vigor and excitement?Since the path of love is impracticable, from a practical point of view, Zeng Fei is the one who best matches her regardless of family background, age, education level, career prospects, or character and appearance.Finally, my mother said: "Didn't you like Zeng Fei in the past? Don't make excuses. I saw his photo in your diary when you were in middle school."

Feng Lan knew that no matter how she explained it, her parents would find it difficult to understand. She had thought about Zeng Fei, but that was more than ten years ago. At that time, she was just a junior high school student who didn't know what it was. , this thought only lasted for less than three months before it was wiped out by the pressure of the high school entrance examination.More importantly, it was Zeng Fei who had a cheerful personality and a fearless smile back then, not the man with downcast eyes and tired eyes sitting across from her now. After Zeng Fei's mother happily talked about the topic of buying a whole pig for Chinese New Year this year and putting it in the refrigerator to eat slowly, she was awakened by the hint in Feng's mother's eyes. .

Zeng Fei's sister, Zeng Wen, was the first to ask the two young people to chat alone for a while, and she was going to deliver delicious food to her son.The two old people got up wisely and said that they would go together to the place recommended by Feng's mother for a healthy shampoo.When they left, their eyes were full of expectation and meaning. Watching their backs disappear at the door, Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Zeng Fei beckoned to pay the bill, and said to Feng Lan with a smile, "Don't be so obvious, at least be concerned about my feelings. What are you going to do later?"

Feng Lan rubbed her neck, "Is there still 'later'?" Zeng Fei said: "Since you are willing to come today, you have to go through the whole process." He took the invoice from the waiter, stood up and smiled at Feng Lan: "I said I was serious. Let's go, since I can't remember where to go, why not go back to your restaurant, anyway, everyone didn't eat enough just now , your tom yam soup and pineapple shrimp balls are not bad.” Feng Lan stared into his eyes, thinking about his so-called "serious" intentions. "Are you going to marry me?" she asked in amazement.

Zeng Fei asked back: "Is it not possible? Aren't you quite confident?" Feng Lan believed this time that he was indeed not joking, otherwise it would be too much.She drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, stood up and said, "Why? Oh, you fell into my hands when you were playing bass and listening to rock. Now it's my turn to believe in Buddhism and practice yoga? No, no, no. , it's not worth it..." Zeng Fei and her each went to pick up the car, and on the way they answered her solemnly, "When I liked mature women, you were still a little girl. When I change my past, you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Feng Lan said disdainfully, "The man likes little loli when he's old, so I'm overly familiar with it, right?" "Always misplaced is also a kind of fate." Zeng Fei helped Feng Lan close the car door, "You are much prettier than before, and I am not as good as before, so this is even. Drive hard and see you later." Feng Lan and Zeng Fei walked into her restaurant one after the other, and they still didn't end the previous topic. "Your mother said you hid a photo of me?" "That's how many years ago. Why does my mother say everything!"

"Where did the photo come from?" "I exchanged it with a bag of big white rabbits for my cousin." "Wu Jiang never told me about this." "Is he toward you or towards me..." "Sawadika!" It was Fangfang who was standing at the door today to welcome the guests.Feng Lan instructed her: "Let the kitchen make Tom Yum Kung Soup, Pineapple Shrimp Balls, and Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste. Just say it's what I want, and tell them to hurry up... Oh, wait!" Feng Lan stopped Fang Fang who had just turned around, because at this moment she saw Cui Yan who was eating alone in a corner.Cui Yan also saw them and stood up with a smile to say hello.

"Sister Lan, I'm here again for lunch. You don't need to pay for it, just give me a discount." Feng Lan said: "I came all the way to eat? Don't need to be a tutor, and don't need to fall in love?" "I miss you, and I miss the delicious food in your shop." Cui Yan smiled with eyes crooked.Feng Lanming knew that this was not true, but the other party's attitude made it difficult to harden his heart. Cui Yan seemed to notice Zeng Fei who was standing silently a few steps behind Feng Lan, "Huh? You're here too? What a coincidence."

"It's no coincidence!" Zeng Fei said angrily, "I told you not to bother people, why should you go?" "Sister Lan doesn't think I'm annoying, you don't?" Cui Yan didn't care about his cold eyes at all, she stepped forward and took his hand, and said, "It's just in time for you to come, you pay for this meal, Sister Lan doesn't even No more discounts." Zeng Fei pulled out his hand without hesitation, but he naturally sat down opposite Cui Yan, "Are you eating lunch or dinner?" "All! Do you want some more? I can't finish it anyway." Cui Yan also pulled Feng Lan to sit down, and said, "Sister Lan, if you're not busy, why don't you talk to me for a while? Kangkang asked me to tell you, He's going out for a while. My aunt and grandma are here, have you all seen them just now?" The "aunt" and "grandmother" in Cui Yan's mouth are naturally Zeng Fei's sister and mother.She has lived with the Zeng family for many years, and her relationship is no different from that of her relatives. Feng Lan glanced at the dishes in front of Cui Yan, and it really was Tom Yum Kung Soup and Pineapple Shrimp Balls.The corner of her mouth ticked upwards, and she didn't know whether to praise the chef for making these two dishes very popular, or... "Why don't I tell the kitchen not to do it again, anyway, I'm not hungry, do you two have enough to eat? I'll ask someone to fry some vegetables and bring them over." Feng Lan sat next to Cui Yan.Cui Yan handed Zeng Fei a pair of chopsticks, jokingly said: "A proprietress is stingy, and the business is so good, are you afraid that we will make you poor?" "I'm afraid you'll get fat if you eat too much." Feng Lan rolled her eyes at Cui Yan and asked, "Why didn't you see that handsome guy you brought last time?" "Oh, that... we broke up." Cui Yan said casually while eating. On the contrary, Zeng Fei looked more surprised, "When did it happen?" "In a few days. If the feeling is gone, we will break up." Cui Yan confessed honestly. Zeng Fei asked Feng Lan: "Girls are like this now, falling in love and then breaking up, is it as casual as eating?" Feng Lan said: "I'm old, so I don't know what the little girl is thinking. I think the boy last time was pretty good. He's white and clean, tall and thin, and quite cute." "I thought so too at first..." "Don't know what you women are thinking, love those embroidered pillows." "That's called Pretty Boy, do you understand?" Cui Yan complained to Feng Lan, "Sister Lan, you don't know that every boyfriend of mine is 'not very good' in his eyes. Every time he bumps into him, His poker face almost made someone cry." "When did I ever take care of your love affairs? It's just that you've grown up now, and you have to keep your eyes open when you look at people and things. Is it a man who is so scared that you can't speak?" Zeng Fei shook his head and said. Feng Lan smoothed things over, "Cui Yan, your uncle Zeng also cares about you." "I know, so I just said it casually." Cui Yan raised her chin and said to Zeng Fei, "Now that I broke up, I seem to be relieved..." Zeng Fei smiled and said, "Why should I breathe a sigh of relief?" Cui Yan also smiled in surprise, "I mean myself, why do you put on yourself? Sister Lan, look, he is really funny. Do you know why I can't get along with a boyfriend every time? Because every time he Neither, and every time I compare them to him." Zeng Fei almost choked on the spicy Tom Yum Kung soup.Feng Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that you want to find someone like Zeng Fei, you two really have a good relationship." Cui Yan didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Of course, who doesn't want their man to be brave, mature, charming, responsible, and treat me well." "In that case, your other half has to be 'old' like him." Feng Lan commented. Cui Yanqiao smiled sweetly, "Isn't it good? I am like a father, an elder brother, and a lover. I just don't have any of these things." "I'm full. Next time you guys talk about similar topics, you'd better stay away from me." Zeng Fei put down his chopsticks unbearably. Feng Lan ignored him, and continued to discuss with Cui Yan: "Since you know exactly what you are looking for, why bother wasting time on those little boys?" Cui Yan poked the remaining mouthfuls of rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and said to Feng Lan after a while: "I like others to love me, and I also want to love others generously." When she said this, Ding Xiaoye had just served the water spinach with shrimp paste prepared in the kitchen.The moment Cui Yan looked up at him, the chopsticks seemed to pause for a moment. Sensing the moment of silence around him keenly, Zeng Fei also raised his head to look at Ding Xiaoye. At first, he was a little confused, but soon he came to his senses. Ding Xiaoye put down the vegetables, turned around and left. "You all like this?" He pointed to Ono's back and said. Cui Yan quickly put on a smile again, "Who doesn't like a good-looking man? Right, Sister Lan?" "Um... oh, don't involve me!" Feng Lan wrote very cleanly. Zeng Fei said that he couldn't stay with them any longer, took out the money and put it on the table, "I'm leaving, you guys continue." Cui Yan quickly grabbed his sleeves and acted coquettishly, "Don't! Compared with their young faces, I like your face that has experienced many vicissitudes..." "Get lost!" Zeng Fei scolded with a smile.He seemed to remember something, and hurried to the car to get a paper bag and handed it to Cui Yan, "Your aunt asked me to give it to you. I'll go back to the company first, so don't hang around here and hinder others from doing business." "Okay, let's go." Cui Yan said goodbye to Zeng Fei.After seeing him off, she suddenly found a small thing from her backpack and handed it to Feng Lan like a treasure. "Sister Lan, I made this myself, and I'm giving it to you, don't be disgusted!" Feng Lan took it and saw that it was a beaded bunny made into a keychain. It was not light and handy, but it was also cute. "Thank you! I haven't given you anything yet, so I'm a little embarrassed." Feng Lan thanked politely. "I come to you often, if you don't bother me, you are good to me." Cui Yan smiled, and then slowly opened the paper bag, which contained several bags of amber peach kernels.She only glanced at them and pushed them in front of Feng Lan, and said, "Why don't you keep this and eat it." Feng Lan was surprised, "Why are you being so polite? Your aunt gave it to you specially, why did you give it to me?" Cui Yan laughed again, and she said: "Do you really believe that my aunt brought it to me? She and grandma went shopping with Kangkang. If it was for me, wouldn't Kangkang bring it back? How did she know that she had... Uncle will meet me?" Feng Lan said: "You are a young child, and you have a big heart. Think too much." Cui Yan shook her head and said, "My aunt doesn't know that I like amber peach kernels. Actually, I don't like them either. It's just that a long time ago, someone sent a can at home. When I was young, Kangkang and I had a fight over it. " "Your aunt blamed you?" "No." Cui Yan still shook her head, "She didn't say anything about me. Afterwards, Kangkang's favorite things rarely appeared in front of me, unless that bastard Kangkang showed it off himself." "You think they treat you badly?" Feng Lan asked. Cui Yan hurriedly denied, "No, no, don't get me wrong. They are all good people. Although my aunt has a sharp mouth, she has a very kind heart. My uncle, that is, Kang Kang's father is even softer, and my grandma is also good to me. They have never treated me badly. It is my blessing to be able to grow up in such a family. They are not deliberately biased. The relationship between flesh and blood is an instinct, and they just show it unconsciously. You know, they get along day and night. Remember to take my feelings into account every time. Believe it or not, I don’t care about this at all. I was almost fourteen years old when I went to their house. It’s good that they can keep me. I can’t do it like Kangkang even if I ask myself I'm just as close to them as I mentioned these things, my uncle Zeng..." She stopped, looked at Feng Lan and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really not used to calling him uncle, let's call him by name, and neither are you Outsiders, I don’t need to pretend in front of you. Since Zeng Fei knew that Kangkang and I were fighting over amber peach kernels, he often bought them for me. In fact, I don’t like them for a long time. The only time I fought with Kangkang was me. I'm still ignorant, and I have to compare everything with Kang Kang. Zeng Fei doesn't know this, and whenever he thinks I'm pitiful, he will buy me this, and I almost feel sick. But I don't want to remind him, he He is really good to me. In my heart, he is my only relative...and rely on." "I can see it." Feng Lan said lightly, "You treat me as an intruder." Cui Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I like you very much, it's very comfortable to chat with you." Feng Lan made it clear, "You also heard that I kissed Zeng Fei 'again', right? Sister Zeng Wen and your grandma both came this time, and they made up their minds to match Zeng Fei and me. " "I know you won't accept it." Cui Yan spoke quickly, "They didn't even know that you and Zeng Fei were just friends, so they forced you together." Feng Lan felt a little strange in his heart.How she decides is one thing, but whether she is at the mercy of Cui Yan, a little fox, is another. Feng Lan thought for a while and said, "I can't say 'force it' either, I'm still thinking about it..." Cui Yan giggled, "Sister Lan, I'm telling you what's on my mind, don't lie to me with those perfunctory arguments. You can't be with Zeng Fei. You don't like him, and neither does he." you!" "He doesn't like me?" Feng Lan folded his hands on his chest, "He told you? Not necessarily. Do you know who brought up the topic of this marriage? Not my parents, nor his family, but himself Voluntarily requested." Cui Yan's face turned pale, but she controlled it well. She calmly said, "I know why. Sister Lan, would you really marry someone you don't love?" Feng Lan leaned over and said softly: "I'll tell you a secret, my first kiss was to your Uncle Zeng... It's been many years, and now I think about it, it feels pretty good." "Impossible." No matter how scheming Cui Yan was, she was still young after all, her face suddenly became uneasy, and she lost her voice, "I've never heard him say that." "So, he won't tell you everything, you are still a child in his heart." Feng Lan said. Cui Yan steadied her mind, pursed her lips and smiled, "Child? Sometimes he doesn't dare to look me in the eyes!" "You should know who he was thinking at that time!" A trace of hatred quickly flashed in Cui Yan's eyes, with a momentary sadness.Feng Lan couldn't bear it.For the first time, she took a good look at Cui Yan.Cui Yan's appearance is not amazing, but her facial features are delicate, which is the kind of cute and small face.The way she gritted her teeth and frowned was actually more pitiful than when she was always smiling.I heard that Cui Yan's facial features resembled her biological mother's, so Feng Lan seemed to understand why Zeng Fei was so obsessed with her mother's death. "Even without me, do you think it's possible for you and Zeng Fei?" Feng Lan asked Cui Yan seriously.If it was Zeng Fei back then, maybe the answer would be different, but it is precisely because Cui Yan was able to sit here today and confidently express her dependence on Zeng Fei that Zeng Fei became what he is today. Cui Yan suppressed her tears, "I'll prove it to you." She lowered her head to pack her backpack, and when she looked up again, she could force a smile on her face, "Nothing is impossible, Sister Lan. You know Han Did Emperor Hui Liu Ying marry his niece Zhang Yan? My name is somewhat similar to hers." Feng Lan thought it was a little funny, the little fox was so anxious that he could use anything as a provocative tool.Feng Lan stretched out his hand, patted the back of Cui Yan's cold hand lightly, and gently reminded: "That's why Zhang Yan will be a virgin until his death."
