Chapter 8 chapter eight

After they parted, Danqing relayed Mr. Zhang's message to his mother. Ge Xiaojia listened in a daze, but didn't respond for a while. She was confused and couldn't tell whether Danqing's words were false or true. After a while, she smiled wryly and said, "Maybe it's time for a change of luck." Danqing immediately corrected, "Turning opportunities, not transit, what's wrong with our luck at the moment?" Ge Xiaojia stroked her daughter's hair, "The most disappointing parents often have the most sensible daughters." "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Danqing changed the subject. On the surface, the mother looks like a normal person, but Danqing is always worried. There was something more disturbing to Dan than this. The glass door of Juanzi coffee shop was smashed by some heavy object, and a big hole was pierced through. It was dark and looked eerie. Danqing asked Juanzi anxiously, "What's the matter?" Juanzi's spirit was very bad, she rested her head on her hand and didn't want to answer. "I'll call someone to fix it right away." Juanzi went upstairs, and Danqing immediately contacted a familiar decorator to come.

Xiao Dan immediately found a suspicious point. If an urchin throws a rock at the glass door, the debris should face in. At this moment, all the shards of glass were outside the door. This proved that someone in the room threw a hard object at the glass door. Who will it be? The answer is also very simple. You don't need a master of reasoning to guess it. There are only two people in the room: Ji Juanzi and Hu Shizhen. Juanzi is not suspicious, women are not so strong, and the weapon is a chair in the store, which is tilted at a corner at the moment, and there are traces of sharp glass scratches on the foot of the stool.

They had a big fight. It's what happened last night. Danqing sat down quietly, puzzled.Came all the way from Paris, arguing?Together, the two should be at least eighty years old, and should have enough wisdom and experience to do anything. But they chose to fight. Danqing looked at the glass door regretfully.The stained jigsaw glass on this door is a French art that imitated the Lalique style in the 1920s. Aunt Juanzi spent a lot of effort to bring it back from Europe. One reckless gesture and it will be destroyed. Indeed, I hate Hu Shizhen even more. Before he showed up, everything was fine.

Breaking into other people's world should bring laughter and happiness to others, not destroy the original peace and tranquility of other people's lives. The decoration company sent someone to see this situation and was also surprised. Dan Qing ordered: "Use ordinary frosted glass to repair it first, and it must be done quickly." The workers promised to start work immediately. Danqing didn't dare to go upstairs to see Juanzi, so she had to stay downstairs. Hu Shizhen is back. Danqing stared at him honestly, as if his eyes were about to shoot arrows to kill him. Hu Shizhen retreated to a corner, poured himself a drink, and watched the workers operate without saying a word.

Danqing noticed that he had been tanned to a golden brown, as if he had stayed on the beach for a long time. Danqing was in a stalemate with him, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "If you can't make her happy, leave her." Hu Shizhen was not sullen, he glanced at Danqing, and replied: "I have never made her happy in these years." "You know this, but you don't leave her, why bother?" Hu Shizhen stared at Danqing, "You won't understand. It's hard to understand this kind of thing if it doesn't happen to you." "I don't want to meddle in adults' business, but I love Aunt Juanzi very much, please forgive me and don't make her suffer."

Hu Shizhen said: "Originally, I wanted to make her happy." "I believe she is not too demanding, not too demanding, and you really can't do it?" He was depressed, "There are accidents every time." Danqing couldn't understand, accident, what accident, who got out of the way? "It's just a little bit worse," Hu Shizhen's voice became very gentle, as if muttering to himself, "It was the same last time, and it's the same this time." Danqing was angry and ignored him. Workers carefully brought in new glass and were slowly installing it, depending on the situation, until dusk.

The sooner Hu Shizhen leaves, the better. He suddenly turned his head, "You're right, Tongyan is wuji, Tongyan is the most true, since I can't make her happy, I'd better leave quickly." Dan Qing sneered, "Don't coax me into joy." He hated to the extreme and spoke very meanly, even Danqing himself was shocked. Hu Shizhen put down his cup, stood up and walked out. What kind of business is Juanzi Coffee Shop? Juanzi came down, brushed her hair, and sat in the seat where Lao Hu had been sitting just now. She asked Danqing: "He left?" Danqing persuaded: "Let him go."

Juanzi kept silent, turned her head, looked at Danqing and smiled, looking tired. The two aunts and nephews sat opposite each other until the workers finished repairing the glass. Danqing noticed that Juanzi didn't necessarily look depressed, lost, gloomy, hesitant, or uneasy, but only looked slightly tired, as if she had just finished an all-night meeting, or just got off a long-distance plane. In other words, unlike her old friend Ge Xiaojia, Juanzi buried her emotions deeply in her heart. Danqing finally said, "Hu Shizhen said that he visited you ten years ago." Juanzi nodded.

"By then you were supposed to be married, what happened?" Juanzi glanced at Danqing, "I didn't know you were interested in knowing." Danqing kept silent, afraid that her aunt would blame her for being too curious. "Ten years ago, he came from Paris, and he did intend to marry." Danqing listened carefully. "He's finally married, but not to me." God, it's no wonder that Hu Shizhen said the accident, it was only a little bit short, so that's how it is. "He met someone else, and within a few weeks, he fell in love with her and brought her to Paris to live with her."

"How can you do this!" "You'll have to ask him." "Who is that woman?" "It's not important, Zhang Zhen, Li Zhu, Zhao Yuqianfen, the main thing is that he chose her." There was no resentment in Juanzi's voice, her tone was calm, and she told the story objectively. "Are they happy together?" "I don't know, I didn't ask, I'm not curious." "But ten years later, he reappeared." Juanzi nodded. Danqing felt incredible, "You still love him, you have no heart?" Juanzi herself couldn't help laughing, and if she didn't deny it, it meant she acquiesced. The world is full of opposite sexes, but she has been entangled with him for more than ten years. That's enough. Either get married, or break up, or get married and then break up. If this drags on, both of them will collapse. Juanzi said softly, "He came this time to get married." Danqing sighed, it seemed extremely difficult to get married successfully, and it was difficult for them to have a second ten years. "The dresses are all bought, and they are hanging in the wardrobe upstairs." Juanzi laughed again. Danqing felt that she shouldn't be laughing, and she wasn't talking about something pleasant. The stronger Juanzi's smile became, the more mysterious the atmosphere became, and Danqing's hairs suddenly stood on end. "You haven't seen my dress, have you? It's beautiful, with a little veil." Juanzi's voice was very low, like raving. Dan Qing put his hand on her shoulder, "Auntie, you are tired, go to sleep." "Forget it, Danqing, you go back." Listening to the stories of their adults gave me a headache. Danqing closed the patched glass door, and when he looked up, he saw a small red sports car. The driver saw her and sounded the horn, "Ruan Danqing, take you out of the city." Danqing said coldly, "Lin Jiankang, even if it's hailstorming, I won't get in your car." Lin Jiankang was full of grievances, "You still hate me?" "Who has time to hate people like you." "Look, Danqing, just because I didn't combine with Xiaoyou, you condemn my life?" Danqing stopped, "I advise you to drive the car away immediately." "Danqing, don't be stupid, I know you're kind enough to complain on behalf of Xiaoyou, but it's completely unnecessary, Xiaoyou has already found a new boyfriend, he's like glue, and the situation is warm." Dan Qing turned his head, "Really?" "I lied to you that I was a little white rabbit. You see, everyone gets what they want, and no one suffers. Why do you insist that I am a bad person?" This is Lin Jiankang talking nonsense. Finding a new partner so quickly, so quickly?The bystanders were still upset for her, but her scars had already healed. Is this sarcasm? "Everyone around here knows that Xiaoyou and his honey friend bathe in the sea at the small beach at the corner every day. You will know it when you go and see it." Danqing really wanted to go and see what happened. "Public places don't count as spying on people's privacy." Lin Jiankang added. Speaking of Hong Tongtong's arrival, she glared at Danqing hostilely according to the rules, and her life was not easy, not only snatching her boyfriend from others, but also afraid that others would snatch him away again. It's hard for Lin Jiankang, like a trophy, to pass from one girl's hands to another girl's hands, without any autonomy, yet still complacent. Danqing walks away without turning around. The beach is just under the path next to the parking lot, and Danqing can't help but walk past it. Walking to the beach, Danqing took a deep breath, the air was fresh and smelled of salt and flowers. She sat on the stone steps, covering the sun with her hands, looking at the golden sea water that was changing from green to blue. Danqing hadn't been here for the whole summer. When he went to the water in Xiaxia, he was stung by a jellyfish. After the scars faded, he lost interest. Compared with this summer, a little setback last year is really nothing. The tide rustled up the beach and back again, and the crescent head was empty of bathers. someone.The two are gradually swimming towards the shore, and they seem to be strong players.At first there were two small black dots, but gradually it became apparent that they were a man and a woman. Finally heard their crisp laughter. The woman jumped onto the water first, she was dressed in a rose-colored skin, wearing a small swimsuit, her figure was flawless, her wet hair hung on her shoulders, like a lotus emerging from water. Danqing recognized her, she was Gu Ziyou. Her male companion also came up. Danqing saw it clearly, and couldn't help being stunned like thunder. Hu Shizhen, it's Hu Shizhen. He, it could be him, it turns out that he plays with Xiaoyou on this beach every day. Danqing wished he could turn around and run away immediately, and go back to wash his eyes clean, but he hated that his feet seemed to be nailed to the stone steps, unable to move. At this time, the two of them waved the water droplets on their bodies and saw Danqing. Gu Ziyou waved his hand, "Danqing, is it Danqing, come down." Venus appeared in front of Danqing's eyes, the sun must have pierced his eyes. Hu Shizhen wasn't too surprised, as if he knew he would meet Danqing sooner or later. He lay down on the sand. Xiaoyou came up to meet her, "Danqing, long time no see." Danqing pointed at Hu Shizhen, "Are you with him?" Xiaoyou nodded. "Do you know who he is?" Xiao You casually took a salon skirt and tied it on, brushed her hair, and giggled, "His name is Hu Shizhen, isn't it?" By this time, Danqing already knew that he couldn't argue with Xiaoyou, so he just stared at her blankly. "Danqing, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly." "Are you with him?" Danqing asked again. "Yes." Gu Youyou replied, "Aren't you happy for me?" "Where are you now?" "Hey, hey, Danqing, what's going on, he's not yours." Xiaoyou hugged Danqing's arm while talking and laughing, and Danqing tried his best to break free from her. Xiaoyu was stunned. Danqing's desperate eyes shocked her. Hu Shizhen spoke over there: "What Xiao Dan wants to know, let me tell her." Danqing realized that her legs could move, so she ran up the stone steps, and heard Gu Ziyou asking: "What's wrong with Danqing, she doesn't look like her, I'll catch up and have a look." Then she heard Hu Shizhen say, "Don't go, she's fine." Yes." Danqing had already run away. Sweating all over her head and forehead, she panted against the railing of the road station. "Danqing, I'm looking for you." She turned her head and saw Qiao Lishan, as if seeing a savior, she sobbed, "Where have you been, why didn't you come to see me?" Qiao Lishan had always thought that Danqing was cold and eloquent, an independent and smart girl, but now she seemed to be greatly stimulated, with a panicked expression, and he couldn't help feeling anxious. "Isn't someone bullying you?" He asked. Dan Qing shook his head. Qiao Lishan breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been busy taking care of Master these days, what happened to you?" Danqing came back to her senses, and then realized that she was holding Qiao Lishan's hand tightly, and the fingers of the two were tightly intertwined. It was very comfortable and safe. She was unwilling to let go, and felt more at ease. "I went to the coffee shop to look for you just now, and Miss Ji said that you are off work." Qiao Lishan looked at her, "You look pale, as if you have seen a ghost." Dan Qing wished that what he saw just now were two impermanent ghosts. I only heard Qiao Lishan say: "It's better now, and my palms are starting to feel warm." He let go of Danqing's hand. Danqing asked, "Has Mr. Ai left?" "Leaving tomorrow." "It's not easy for the elderly to adapt so well." Qiao Lishan said: "I also admire him, but sometimes his expression is in a trance. Once he asked me to call and call my wife from the coffee shop." Danqing is sympathetic. "I said, Master, you know I can't do it. He suddenly remembered, so he went back to his room, closed the door tightly, and didn't come out for a long time." Danqing raised his head, "Qiao Lishan, do you know someone who is really happy?" "Human beings have been asking this question for thousands of years, but they still can't get an answer. Do you want me to answer you right away by standing on the side of the road?" Danqing smiled, and she followed Qiao Lishan into the car. "Come on, let's talk after we get out of the city." Of course, Qiao Lishan is not a wooden man. If he still can't feel Danqing's admiration until now, he is too insensitive. Because of this, he has to be more careful. Danqing asked, "Where are we going?" "send you home." "What, you're not dating me?" "Danqing, I am much older than you." "nonsense." "I'm twenty-seven years old." "What's that worth?" "Yes, it's just two generation gaps." Danqing was not happy, "Don't call me so childish." "You should play with friends your own age." Thinking of Zhang Haiming, Danqing said regretfully, "However, they are all extremely immature." It was Qiao Lishan's turn to laugh. This is the law of growth: adults do not understand them, children of the same age are ignorant, and life is extremely dull, so the heart is extremely irritable, the mind is extremely annoying, and the pimples on the face refuse to calm down. Qiao Lishan also went through this stage. Danqing asked: "Is there really no place to go?" Her voice was soft and begging, and in terms of her character, she had already made the biggest grievance. Ruan Danqing didn't seem like a person who often begged for help. Qiao Lishan couldn't bear it, he hesitated for a moment, "Well, let's listen to music at my place." "great." Danqing just didn't want to go home so early. "It's just, is it convenient for a single girl to go to the bachelor's apartment?" "Look whose apartment it is." Danqing glanced at him. "You seem very reassured about me." "I know who you are." Qiao Lishan rubbed his nose and laughed, "What you see is just a superficial phenomenon." "I trust my own eyes." "A lot of girls say that and end up being horribly wrong." Aunt Juanzi, Danqing immediately thought of Aunt Juanzi, and her heart sank. "Maybe you don't know," Danqing said softly, "Old lady Ai promised to introduce you to me when she was born, so there is nothing to worry about with her as a guarantor." Danqing is usually not so bold, but today But do it rashly. Qiao Lishan was surprised, "Master really said that?" "I will not lie to you." "Actually, I'm not reliable." Danqing snorted and laughed, "Don't worry, I won't pester you, don't make yourself worthless, so that I will die." Qiao Lishan could only laugh awkwardly. Danqing only felt that his words and actions had an indescribable chicness. Eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys just lack that taste. Qiao Lishan lives in his elder brother's house. Both brothers are unmarried. He said that at this age, they don't plan to get married, and maybe they won't get married in their entire lives. Danqing was completely indifferent after hearing such words. Qiao Lishan had to admit that the little girl was cute, and replaced it with a 27 or 28-year-old girl. Hearing the appeal argument, it's strange that he didn't care too much. He must think that the other party is insincere. Twenty-seven or eight years old is the age when women most want to formally start a family.Before that, Xiang Danqing only wanted to have a good relationship, and his requirements were very low.Once I passed thirty, my thoughts became clear again, and I started to play in the world and live with the situation. The apartment is elegant and clear, with simple furnishings. Danqing chose an Ace-shaped couple chair and sat down. The Joe Brothers must have entertained countless single ladies here. Qiao Lishan poured out a drink and handed it to Danqing. He was very happy that she had returned to her usual playfulness. Just now, she clearly had something on her mind. Danqing asked, "When will you go back to your hometown?" "Fortunately, you didn't ask me when I'm going back to grandma's house." He always likes to tease Danqing like this, she glances at him and ignores him. Danqing glanced around, landed on the bookshelf, and stopped still with a "huh", as if discovering a new world. She walked to the front of the bookshelf, "Here is Fang Dufei's complete set of works. Is your elder brother a fan of novels?" Qiao Lishan didn't say anything. "I thought I was the only one who owned the entire set of Fang's works and never loaned them out." "Really, it's not uncommon for girls to like reading novels." "You always regard young girls as low-level intelligent creatures, little animals that go about their lives carelessly, eat whatever they want, watch whatever they want, don't know what is good or bad, and don't make choices." "Danqing, don't worry." Dan Qing smiled, "Big man style." She ran across Fang's series of books, returned to the chair, and put her legs up. "What music do you want to listen to?" "I started watching Fang Dufei when I was very young." "what." "That may not be his real name, but who cares, it doesn't matter if he is an old man, readers just pick and choose whether the author is handsome or ugly, good or evil, readers don't care." "Really?" Qiao Lishan was surprised. "Of course, who has seen Fang Dufei? He is an old man who lives in North America. Who knows what kind of person he is." "What do you think?" "Why bother thinking about it?" Qiao Lishan just laughed. Danqing felt a little inappropriate. Gradually, the pictures were connected together one by one. In normal times, the jigsaw puzzle game would have come to an end long ago, but too many things have happened in recent days, and she let the pieces stay there without moving. Now, now, these pieces automatically come together. Mrs. Ai said that Fang Dufei was a student of Mr. Ai, so he was Qiao Lishan's senior brother. No, the bottom of Danqing's heart seems crystal clear, this guy, he is Fang Dufei himself. she laughed. Despite her preoccupations, she was heartily delighted by this extraordinary surprise. "You understand." Qiao Lishan said. "It takes so long to figure it out, it's not considered smart." Danqing pointed to his head. "You didn't just link the two names together." "Qiao Lishan is your real name?" He nodded, "My mother's surname is Fang." Danqing looked at him from head to toe again, and Qiao Lishan felt embarrassed when she saw him. Danqing said: "It's strange, it's too late, I think you are Qiao Lishan." He laughed, "I am indeed Qiao Lishan." "But Fang Dufei is more famous and accomplished than Qiao Lishan, so you should be Fang Dufei." These words are not easy to understand at the beginning, but after thinking about it, there is truth again. Indeed, he said sympathetically: "It's very contradictory. I want to be Fang Dufei and Qiao Lishan at the same time." Qiao Lishan was stunned, recalled it slowly, and then replied: "It's nothing if you're used to it. At the beginning, I was quite naive. I felt that I was not an ordinary person for a while, and then I came to my senses and felt that there is no ordinary person." Dan Qing tilted his head, "I still think you are Qiao Lishan." "Excellent, frankly speaking, Fang Dufei has many friends, and most people are more interested in him, while Qiao Lishan lives a rather lonely life." "Well, I always thought that I saw Fang Dufei, so I don't know how many questions I asked him." "Excuse me." "Forget it, I'll look for answers in his writings." "Thank you so much, you are such a good reader." "Living with a great name on your back is hard work." Qiao Lishan smiled wryly, he didn't expect Danqing to be so considerate and understanding. "But why is everyone chasing fame?" "I don't know," Qiao Lishan replied, "I'll tell you when I become famous all over the world." So humble. Danqing felt that it was time to change the subject, "What kind of job does Brother Qiao do?" "He's a mechanical engineer." "Heh, one article, one martial arts." "Have you arranged the formalities for entering school?" "I will go to the consulate in two days, and then I will issue a plane ticket." "Danqing, have you noticed that once the summer is over, we all have to leave here." Danqing nodded. She had already noticed that, whether they could meet again later depended on extra fate. "It must not be easy for you. It is the first time to leave home and say goodbye to relatives and friends." "I will overcome circumstances." "Yes, we will all be victorious. After a while, we may be like fish in water and have greater development. It's really humble. With a little sunshine and a little rain, we can live happily." Qiao Lishan said in a melancholy tone. Danqing thought about it, "This is your superhuman sensitivity, I feel a lot of emotion." He laughed, "When I get older, I'm afraid it will become a nagging." As he approached middle age, his sensibility dropped sharply, and the articles were not so good-looking. I am afraid that he would have to rewrite academic texts, and Fang Dufei also had a career crisis. "Danqing, I'll take you back." "When are you going home?" "I'm leaving by mid-September at the latest." "I'll ask you out again." "This is my home number." "You don't go back to the coffee room anymore?" "There's a lot of serious business to do, and besides, there's no business in the coffee shop." "Miss Ji didn't intend to make money, that place is very much like a salon." When he picked up the car on the street, Danqing realized that it was already dark and he had stayed at Qiao's house for so long. These two hours passed very quickly, a total of one hundred and twenty minutes.
