Chen Zhu's home was in Yuexiu, and there was no direct evening bus from this place. After Chen Zhu went downstairs, he simply gritted his teeth and waved for a taxi.
After all, the school beauty Song helped him a lot when he was in school.
Let’s not talk about the many times of cheating, and the incident with Yuanyuan, including the favor of helping me to show off in the Chongerfei club... I have to pay it back!
After arriving at the Pearl River Imperial View, Chen Zhu called Song Shiwei and walked towards the river.
It is said that this community is really close to the Pearl River. It is just across a road from the main entrance, and not far away is the landmark building Canton Tower under construction.
There are quite a lot of tourists here during the National Day holiday, but there seem to be more police patrols. After all, Guangzhou has a lot of food, but there are almost no places to play, so even the riverside has become a rare place.
"...I've arrived at the dock, where are you?"
Chen Zhu said on the phone.
"I'm here too."
Song Shiwei said.
Chen Zhu looked up and saw Song Shiwei on the edge of the riverside guardrail, and was suddenly stunned.
This was the first time he saw the Song school beauty with loose hair. Her straight long hair was as smooth as silk and hung naturally around her waist. She rested her left hand on the railing and looked at the river, shrouded in a cool halo, feeling lonely and independent.
In the night.
"hello."
Chen Zhu came to Song Shiwei and said a fashionable hello.
Song Shiwei turned around, glanced at Chen Zhu, and nodded as well.
"Would you like to go there?"
Chen Zhu felt that there were too many people nearby, or perhaps Song Shiwei, who was looking over the river, had unintentionally attracted some men to gather around.
"Okay~"
Song Shiwei did not refuse. She followed Chen Zhu and walked a few steps to the side. It turned out that there were only looks of regret left there.
When they came to a quieter place, the two of them didn't speak at first.
Under the dark night, the river surface is like a huge piece of black jade inlaid in the city. Occasionally, a few ferries cut through the water and pass by, making a low whistle.
"What is more complicated?"
After a while, Chen Zhu broke the silence.
Song Shiwei was silent for a while and said, "My mother has always been very strict with me. Can you probably guess this?"
"Um……"
Although Chen Zhu didn't know what this matter had to do with him, he still nodded slightly:
"When we were having dinner at Senior Brother Ye's place, you said that your mother had not allowed you to raise kittens and puppies since they were young because they were shedding hair."
"Actually, I found that you quite like small animals. At that time, I thought that Auntie was a bit overbearing."
"The next two times we had dinner, your mother seemed to always call you at a certain time. This check-in was even more punctual than when I went to work at eight in the morning."
"Also, on the day of the National Day holiday, my aunt drove to pick you up. Although you didn't say a word, she kept wiping the wheels of the suitcase with wet paper towels when she was loading the suitcase into the car."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhu himself felt a little depressed: "A mother who is domineering, controlling, and somewhat germaphobic is no longer just [strict]..."
Song Shiwei also sighed in his heart. These random examples and fragments that made him feel suffocated to describe were actually faced by him alone for more than ten years.
After a while, Song Shiwei said softly: "Actually... Mom was not like this before."
This involved a private family matter. Chen Zhu didn't intend to ask, but he didn't refuse to listen either.
However, Song Shiwei was just explaining to his mother and did not intend to discuss this issue too much.
Then, she said to Chen Zhu: "We walked back to school together that night. My mother really wanted to know who you were. I was worried that she would come and cause some trouble to you."
"Oh~"
Chen Zhu understood somewhat. This should be the reason why Song Shiwei came to see him tonight.
From what she said, it seemed like she was worried about implicating herself.
Chen Zhu stared at the Pearl River. The surface of the river spread quietly, as if it was a vastness that could only be seen in a dream.
"Then what do you think?"
Chen Zhu suddenly asked.
"I?"
Song Shi was stunned for a moment. She thought it would be over after she talked to Chen Zhu about it.
By the way, I experienced the wonderful feeling of meeting a boy by the river in the middle of the night.
Then, I became like I was in high school, everything was done step by step under the supervision of my mother, with no surprises, no impulses, and no fun.
Thinking of his future living conditions, Song Shiwei felt that the invisible wet cotton-padded jacket on his body seemed to be a little heavier.
"right!"
Chen Zhu nodded: "Do you want to draw all boundaries?"
If Song Xiaohua personally means this, then of course there is nothing more to say.
If she...
"No."
Song Shiwei spoke, and she told Chen Zhu solemnly: "I think everyone is fine."
"Everyone" may include many people, and it does not necessarily refer to people specifically.
It's more like Song Shiwei's summary of the two people's experiences over the past month, including eating, cooking, Chen Zhu's troubles, and his circle of friends.
Chen Zhu looked over and Song Shiwei didn't avert his gaze.
His clear, watery eyes were calm and calm, and his skin color was very white. Under the dim street lights, his whole person seemed to be stained with a thin layer of frost.
Chen Zhu smiled, randomly picked up a few stones from the river beach, and threw them into the river one after another.
Song Shiwei didn't say a word, watching the ripples on the water surface that looked like waves.
"What do you think of my grass-roots entrepreneurial team?"
After a while, Chen Zhu seemed to be thinking and asking.
At this time, Song Shiwei felt that there was no need to say anything against her will. Although she was in the grassroots team, she felt that it was a hundred times more interesting than the boring and uneventful life in high school.
“Very attractive.”
Song Shiwei thought for a while and replied.
"So……"
Chen Zhu threw all the stones in his hands into the river with all his strength. Listening to the sound of "plop, plop", he clapped his hands and said, "Then I will formally invite you to join this grass platform team!"
Song Shi was slightly startled, she understood what Chen Zhu meant.
Knowing that his mother might want to find him, he still invited himself to join?
"But……"
Song Shiwei wanted to say something else.
"Can auntie eat people?"
Chen Zhu interrupted seemingly rudely.
"Won't."
Song Shi shook his head slightly.
"That's it."
Chen Zhu said lightly: "Since you can't eat people, why should I be afraid?"
"As long as you feel happy, as long as you don't dislike it."
Chen Zhu made this decision as if he was talking about the weather forecast in a relaxed manner: "You can do whatever you want. It won't be too late to leave when you feel tired one day."
Seeing Chen Zhu's heroic and firm tone, Song Shiwei's depressed mood just now seemed to suddenly light up, and the sadness in his eyes also diminished little by little.
In fact, she may not necessarily join this team, but Chen Zhu's attitude when facing problems made Song Shiwei feel very responsible.
"Thanks."
Song Shiwei tried hard to remain calm and indifferent.
Tonight is a dull midsummer night, and the deep sky seems to have been burnt through countless small holes by the sparks splashed by the sun, and finally transparent light leaks out.
"Thank you, you helped me so much in college."
Chen Zhu really didn't take her seriously. Although she still didn't know what Song Shiwei's mother did, it sounded like her status was not low.
If she really finds herself and talks nicely, then there will be no problem.
If she is really anxious, she is not someone to be trifled with. She might even disgust her: "Auntie, do you want to join the team? We are short of talents like you!"
"Because you helped me in high school."
Song Shiwei said that she should be referring to the incident of harassment by Li Jianming.
But now that he mentioned this, Chen Zhu suddenly felt like "the past is thousands of years old" and couldn't help but said: "At that time, I really didn't expect that the scandal between the two of us would spread so fiercely, and there was no way to explain it clearly."
It’s all fucking Lai Mou Jiawen!
Hearing the slight complaint in Chen Cheng's tone, Song Shiwei couldn't help but laugh.
She was usually cool and cold, but when she suddenly smiled, she had a cold and charming look under the moonlight, which made people feel so strong that Chen Zhi couldn't help but stay in a daze.
Song Shiwei avoided looking, straightened his hair that was messed up by the wind, and said softly as if talking to himself: "I'm not angry about these scandals either."
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, another ferry blew its whistle and passed by.
"What did you just say?"
Chen Zhu dug his ears and didn't hear clearly the last words Song Shiwei said just now.
"there is nothing."
Song Shi shook his head slightly.
Some words may seem so light, but as soon as they are blown by the October wind, nothing can be heard.
Suddenly, Song Shiwei's cell phone rang. The ringtone was rapid and harsh. It seemed particularly harsh in this quiet night, as if someone was scratching the glass with his nails next to his ear.
Song Shi glanced at it slightly but didn't answer.
After ringing for a while and automatically hanging up, the second call came in persistently.
Song Shiwei frowned slightly, as if hesitating whether to answer or not.
Chen Zhu, who was standing next to him, suddenly remembered some scenes from Korean dramas.
He suddenly grabbed the phone, pressed the call button, removed the card, and was about to throw the phone into the river like the handsome male protagonist of a Korean drama.
"Mobile phone 12,000."
Song Shiwei said calmly beside him.
"oh?"
Chen Zhu slowly turned his head: "What do you mean, do I have to pay compensation if I throw it away?"
Song Shi nodded his chin slightly.
"I'm just kidding, I'm just trying out the weight and feel of the phone."
Chen Zhu obediently handed over the phone: "Here, I still have the card, be careful not to lose it, otherwise it will be difficult to find it at night."
