Chapter 1: Feiyan (1)
It was midsummer, and the heat was drilled into the house through the cracks in the window, and the bedroom was getting more and more mushy.
Zhao Wenchun walked past the door with his folded clothes, walked a few steps and then fell back. He looked at the grand occasion in the house, and his brows frowned.
The suitcase was tilted and opened to the ground, bottles and jars were covered with the tabletop, and slippers were lying across the bed, and a sole of a shoe was facing the sky.
"The ground is cold, wear shoes." Zhao Wenchun bent over to pick up his shoes, and placed it neatly in front of Zhao Xiyin, reminding him: "Hurry up, Xiao Li's car horn has been pressed several times."
Zhao Xiyin leaned down and searched in the bottom drawer, responding perfunctorily: "It's so fast."
Zhao Wenchun looked left and right, but his eyes were sharp. He pulled out his eyelash pen from under the book, "Are you looking for this?"
Zhao Xiyin saw it and breathed a sigh of relief, "I really know how to hide, I thought I had grown wings."
Zhao Wenchun shook her head at her daughter's shortcomings and walked aside to help her clean up, "I'm so anxious and can't I take a day off before going out to play?"
It rained heavily in the south, and the high-speed rail was a few hours late. It was early in the morning when I arrived at Beijing West Railway Station yesterday. Teacher Zhao drove slowly, and the smoothest road was no more than fifty yards. When I got home, I was almost three o'clock and I overdone as soon as I slept.
Zhao Xiyin left home after the Spring Festival last year. She traveled around the mountains and seas only called Teacher Zhao every two days to report her safety. Whose daughter could travel abroad for a year or two and not go home to see her? Old Zhao was resentful, complaining that Xiao Zhao was a crazy girl with no conscience. But when she received a call from her daughter, she complained and resigned, and was sincere in her concern, and she wanted to talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Not to play." Zhao Xiyin turned her head left and right in front of the mirror, then gently brushed her right eyelashes before she was satisfied, "I'm attending the wedding and having a wedding."
Zhao Wenchun shook a windbreaker coat and stopped when he heard this, "Classmate?"
Zhao Xiyin turned on the cover and left with her bag, "Ah, no, I don't know you, I'm with Li Ran."
Zhao Wenchun was confused when she heard this, "Xiao Li wants you to accompany her?"
Zhao Xiyin nodded, "The groom is the one who has been in love for ten years. Her personality can make a big fuss. Do I dare not accompany her?"
Teacher Zhao's confused expression was quite cute. Zhao Xiyin laughed. When she left, she walked away with an ice cream and waved her hand, "Let's go, dad."
—
The heat is burning, and the green branches and leaves are wilted by the heat waves. Orchid sycao trees are planted on both sides of the road. The leaves block most of the sun, and only the light and shadow are cast on the ground. This community has been around for a while, with narrow roads and old buildings, but when the road ends, it looks so old that it is still very beautiful.
The white polo was parked on the side of the road, and Zhao Xiyin got into the car.
Li Ran was impatient when she was holding the steering wheel and was about to start scolding, but she was stuffed with an old Beijing popsicle.
Zhao Xiyin clasped her hands together and admitted her mistake first: "Xiao Zhao, who deserves to die, invites the shop manager Li to have a big meal tomorrow."
Li Ran's teeth were almost falling off after being cold. She grinned and inhaled, raised her fist and angry, "Eat the most expensive one."
Zhao Xiyin turned her head and smiled, "Are you in a good mood?"
Li Ran changed his face and said disgustingly: "What's the good thing? The person I love got married today."
Pretending to behave is vivid, and at first glance it looks like a frustrated and sad person. But Zhao Xiyin understands that Li Ran is so quick to speak out, and ten years of unrequited love is just an exaggeration. Although the love of love has been budding, it is not enough to do anything out of the ordinary.
I slept very late last night, so Zhao Xiyin didn't speak anymore, tilted her head and closed her eyes.
Li Ran asked two questions with a popsicle in her mouth or not—
"Are you willing to come back?"
"Are you still leaving?"
Zhao Xiyin responded twice, "Yes."
"Yeah, that's a big deal." Li Ran annoyed her perfunctorily, "Do you leave or not?"
Zhao Xiyin said: "I won't leave."
Li Ran said with satisfaction: "Okay, come to my studio to work tomorrow and be a model. It's just that the new style in the early autumn is going to take flat photos."
Zhao Xiyin opened her eyes and scolded: "Can't you find me some good things?"
Li Ran blinked, "Your appearance is so good. My sales can double. Then I will give you a commission."
Li Ran has short burgundy hair, and this color is suitable for her, her almond eyes are playful and her temperament is vivid. She was born on the same day of the same month and month as Xiyin, a veritable twin. She went abroad to study in her third year of high school, and returned to China the year before yesterday. She didn't know what she had done to do, so she opened a Taobao store without doing her job.
The worldly encounters are about fate, and the two have been intimate with their ten-year friendship. At that time, the first thing they told about Zhao Xiyin's marriage was her.
But it is not without rift.
When Li Ran returned to China the next year, the first thing he did was to clamor for a visit to see which dog man who married Zhao Xiyin.
Zhao Xiyin smiled lightly and told her, "I can't see you anymore."
Li Ran was heartbroken, "Men's sex is misleading, she hides and is a national treasure."
Zhao Xiyin still laughed, her eyes were foggy, and the water light seemed to stutter.
"It's not hidden to you." She said, "It's a divorce."
Li Ran took a few glances from the rearview mirror, but he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to ask. Chaoyang Road was a bit congested, and the car grew up and followed him. Li Ran was holding back his troubles and hesitated in his heart and throat.
Zhao Xiyin suddenly turned her head and asked seriously: "Where is the bride from?"
"Ah?" Li Ran reacted, "It seems to be from Beijing. What's wrong?"
Zhao Xiyin shook her head, "Nothing."
Li Ran still understood her, and could tell the truth if she pinched her head and tail. She thought about it and comforted her: "Beijing has a population of more than 20 million, not that small, so she can't touch it."
Zhao Xiyin's palm flawed, pressed her right face and turned her back hard, and said calmly: "Damn it."
The wedding hotel is located in West Chang'an Street. The first floor banquet living room is full of flowers, with a good location, good taste, and a lot of guests. The groom is either rich or noble. At first glance, he shows that the bride's family background is prominent.
There was no empty space when the traffic jam was in a missed traffic. The bride was petite and charming, and she smiled like crescent moons. The rare thing was that she didn't have the airs of a lady, so she personally led them to arrange the seats. Li Ran followed behind her and kept looking at the bride. She wanted to pick on her sharply, but the girl was really pleasing to the eye. She sighed softly, "I admit it, I won't mess up the situation."
Zhao Xiyin pinched the back of her hand, "Don't be pretentious."
Walking from behind, the seats on both sides were full, and guests congratulated the bride at times. Zhao Xiyin always felt familiar when she looked at her side face, but she couldn't pick up that point. When she was still in a daze, Li Ran pulled her arm hard.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xiyin was in pain, and the bride's voice sounded at the same time, "It happened to be two seats, you are wronged and you are going to settle down. This is my cousin. If you have something to do, you can tell him."
The bride's body slightly left aside, and a table of people appeared.
Gu Heping lowered his head and flirted with the gorgeous woman beside him. He responded without even looking at it: "What can happen on a happy day..."
Halfway through the conversation, my head raised halfway and the sound suddenly faded.
Gu Heping closed his lips and opened several times, but he couldn't say anything in a hurry. He had a punch and sweating in his palm, but he didn't expect to meet Zhao Xiyin here. Gu Heping even felt timid in turning his head to see the person next to him, but without looking, he could feel the temperature boiling a few degrees.
Soon, he responded with the flow of goodness, stood up and pulled the empty chair back, and chatted with kindness: "Xiaoxi, long time no see."
This action seemed unintentional, but in fact it did not give Zhao Xiyin the chance to refuse. It was not a problem to stand like this. Zhao Xiyin sat down silently, and his soul returned to his position three beats slower. As soon as she sat, the distance between her and the man was shortened, and the air was extremely thin and sticky, and even Li Ran, who had always talked a lot, dared not speak.
The female companion brought by Gu Heping is an 18th-tier internet celebrity. She is beautiful, but she is smart when she opens her mouth and says that she went to Paris to attend the Fashion Week last week and spent a lot of effort to buy a limited-edge shell bag. She also said that she had eaten mousse cake and could not find such a good taste in Beijing.
Li Ran rolled her eyes three times when she heard it.
Gu Heping turned against each other faster than reading books, and he didn't say anything coldly.
Until the waiter came to add tea to Zhao Xiyin, Gu Heping was about to get up to take over, and someone took a step faster and stopped him with his arms lightly or hard. He had a light gray suit with dark plaid embroidered on the cuffs. He raised his wrist and half of the dial was exposed, which made him look very low-key and shiny.
Zhou Qishen opened the glass cup in front of Zhao Xiyin, stopped halfway through the black tea, and then fell silent, as if nothing had happened.
Li Ran's heart trembled when he saw it. He secretly glanced at Zhao Xiyin, but the man looked silent and could not see his emotions quietly.
The little internet celebrity has the ability and immediately approached Zhao Xiyin. She thought she was young and should be interested in the entertainment industry. So she said that she had taken a photo with the Golden Horse Actor, and also auditioned for a movie directed by Wang An. She asked her if she wanted a signed photo of Daniel Wu.
Zhao Xiyin smiled politely and didn't respond very much.
The little internet celebrity simply used a big move and brought out a popular star to support his appearance, "Do you know Ruan Dai?"
Zhao Xiyin was slow and nodded, "I know."
"Actually, she is my fucking sister. I went shopping with her last week. The movie that Sister Dai participated in was shortlisted for the Golden Bell Awards. Have you ever seen it? Is the dance part beautiful?"
Zhao Xiyin smiled again.
The little internet celebrity praised: "Sister Dai graduated from Beiwu, and is very professional. This movie was personally guided by Teacher Dai Yunxin. Do you know that Dai Yunxin? A very powerful dance artist. However, she only accepted one apprentice, but that apprentice was banned, called, called... Oh, I don't remember it very much - I will add you WeChat, and if you want to watch a concert or attend a celebrity meeting in the future, I can get tickets for you. Also, I bought a pair of shoes in Paris and it doesn't fit well. If you go back, you can try it."
Li Ran couldn't stand it, and her voice was interrupted loudly, "Accompany me to the bathroom!" Then she rolled her eyes at the little internet celebrity and pulled Zhao Xiyin to leave her seat temporarily.
The little internet celebrity felt unhappy after sucking her back, but she would definitely not be ignorant in front of Gu Heping. So she pouted slightly and looked innocent: "Are you unhappy, Miss?"
Gu Heping raised his chin in the direction of Zhou Qishen, "You ask him if he is happy first."
Thinking it was a man's inappropriate nature, the little internet celebrity swung his fist and gently hit him on the shoulder, "Hate."
After playing, she knew in her heart that the circle of these people was different from herself. Being cute and cute can make people happy, but this also scored. Gu Heping wanted to play, so he played with her. But the people around him were different. For example, Zhou Qishen, a little internet celebrity knew a little about his identity. He was a comrade-in-arms with Gu Heping, and seemed to have taken the military academy. Later, somehow he abandoned the army and went to business. After ten years of ups and downs, he founded Beijing Trade, and was in full swing, and his wealth became a mystery.
Zhou Qishen is not a face that can be amazed at first glance. He has single eyelids, but his eyes are narrow and upturned, his eyes are sharp and cold, and he is very energetic. The height of the 185th is able to support the formal attire, and his long body and narrow waist are not to be said. This man doesn't like to laugh, he has power on his body, and he is too stunning.
Gu Heping asked himself that Zhou Qishengao was unhappy. How dare he do you usually do? But Gu Heping's attitude should have some escort. The little internet celebrity couldn't help but be curious. He asked Gu Heping in a low voice: "Brother Zhou is really married? Is he the second lady of the Zhang family in the east of the city?"
Gu Heping smiled gently but sat upright. He said, "I don't have the surname Zhang, but Zhao."
The word "Zhao?" was familiar, and the little internet celebrity suddenly remembered, "Yes, the only apprentice of Teacher Dai Yunxin, who was banned, was also named Zhao, and was Zhao... What's the matter with Zhao?"
"Zhao Xiyin." The male voice calmly and lowly, and steadily resolved the doubts.
The little internet celebrity looked at Zhou Qishen and was stunned. Zhou Qishen also gave her a look. He picked up a hot handkerchief to wipe his hands, wiped the back of his hands one by one, and wiped the palm of his hands. His eyes heated up, and the little internet celebrity's face turned red after another.
Finally, Zhou Qishen kneaded the handkerchief into a ball and threw it hard in front of Gu Heping. He stood up and said, "You, come out."
Gu Heping followed him out, Zhou Qishen turned around, his patience was at its limit, "Who did you bring? Let her go."
Gu Heping didn't talk nonsense and went to the side to make a phone call. After finishing the work, he found Zhou Qishen. Zhou Qishen stood outside the banquet hall, holding a matchbox in his hand, and tossing and turning between his fingers.
Gu Heping walked over and was a little confused, "Xiaoxi is back? When did she come back? Why is there no news at all?"
Zhou Qishen refused to respond, and the matchbox flipped faster.
"She hasn't returned to Beijing for more than a year, where have she been staying? Are she looking for a job?" Gu Heping and Zhou Qishen have a strong relationship. Others are taboo. He dares to say, ask, and dares to poke Zhou Geer's heart.
Zhou Qishen's voice was calm, "I went to Suzhou in March last year, went to Karamay in April, in June at the Potala Palace, in September, and in February this year, I went to the northwest again. I had no job, I just traveled, I traveled all over the world, and I was willing to come back."
Gu Heping was shocked, "You know so well?"
Zhou Qishen lowered his head, not distinguishing the intensity of his emotions, and he moved slowly while picking the matchbox.
Gu Heping was excited and asked, "Brother Zhou, you lied to me. Actually, you and Xiao Zhao didn't divorce."
Zhou Qishen glanced at him, like a knife.
Gu Heping smiled, "Did you leave?"
