Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 30
“What are you talking about? Why haven’t you come out for so long?” Jiang Yuan’an was anxiously waiting in the restaurant, so he walked in and urged the two of them.
“It’s nothing,” Zhu Qingmeng walked to her side, guessing that she would not come to urge her for no reason, and asked again, “What’s wrong?”
“I just discussed it with Zhizhi, and I will go to the old alley in the east of the city to play later,” Jiang Yuan’an held Zhu Qingmeng’s arm, and then looked at Yu Mingxia, “Mingxia, can you come with me?”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan’an seemed very satisfied with her, and if nothing else happened, it should be regarded as creating opportunities for her.
Thinking of this, Yu Mingxia felt a little more grateful to Jiang Yuan’an from the bottom of his heart.
Several people returned to the restaurant, Yunzhi was replying to the message, and looked up at the few people upon hearing the sound.
Jiang Yuan’an: “Ming Xia agreed, let’s go, now go to the old alley in the east of the city.”
Yun Zhi responded, and went back to the room to get the camera.
Zhu Qingmeng drove here today, so the task of driving was handed over to her. Jiang Yuan’an sat in the passenger seat, while Yun Zhi and Yu Mingxia sat in the back seat.
There is music playing in the car, and the temperature of the air conditioner is suitable, which makes people have the desire to sleep lightly. Yun Zhi looked out of the window, looking at the constantly receding scenery, while Yu Mingxia sat aside, looking at her profile.
When she realized it, she turned her face away in time.
“Did you say before that you were also interested in Lao Xiang?” Yun Zhi recalled the previous incident of Pai Yi Pai Oolong, and Yu Ming Xia seemed to have answered her about it.
“Yes.” Yu Mingxia replied.
“I heard that the road there is quite winding. Have you been there before? You should know the road, right?” Jiang Yuan’an suddenly turned his head to look at Xiang Yunzhi and asked.
Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: “I haven’t been there.”
“Didn’t you say before…” Jiang Yuan’an stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and gritted his teeth thinking of something, “Nan Qiao bastard.”
Yu Mingxia looked at Yunzhi, and saw that her expression was normal.
“She hasn’t bothered you recently, has she? Don’t worry, I’ve scolded her **** for you, so I’m not angry.”
Before Yun Zhi answered, Zhu Qingmeng laughed first, and He Yun knew: “She was so angry that day, she was so angry that she couldn’t sleep in the hospital bed.”
Yun Zhi lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled lightly, without saying a word, facing Yu Mingxia’s concerned eyes from the side, knowing that she would definitely guess it, he said, “I’m fine.”
After mentioning Nan Qiao a few words, Jiang Yuan’an saw that Yun Zhi didn’t want to discuss her, so he stopped the topic and started talking about other things.
It takes an hour’s drive to get to the old alley. I don’t know if it’s because I slept late last night. In addition, the soft music has a hypnotic effect, making Yunzhi feel drowsy.
Yu Mingxia saw her sleepy appearance, and saw her shaking slightly, so he got closer to her. When she was drowsy and swaying from side to side, she leaned her shoulder in time so that Yun Zhi’s head would not be lost.
Jiang Yuan’an saw Yu Mingxia’s movements from the rearview mirror, and found that Yun Zhi stopped talking after falling asleep and turned down the music.
When she met Yu Mingxia’s eyes in the rearview mirror, she saw that Yu Mingxia said two words correctly——
“thanks.”
Jiang Yuan’an seemed to understand something, and looked at Zhu Qingmeng.
Zhu Qingmeng made a booing gesture towards her.
For a moment, she didn’t know whether Zhu Qingmeng was talking about telling her to be quiet, or telling her not to interfere.
The car stops at a traffic light.
Yu Mingxia looked down at Yun Zhi who was leaning on her shoulder and falling asleep. I’ve worked a lot during this time, and I’m sure I’m exhausted.
There was imperceptible distress in her eyes. Jiang Yuanan had a panoramic view.
While surprised, it made her not know what to do.
The red light passed quickly, and the car restarted. At this moment, there was a sudden ringing of the mobile phone in the car.
Yun Zhi was awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was leaning on Yu Mingxia’s shoulder. There was a faint rose fragrance on her body, which smelled very comfortable.
Just when Yu Mingxia thought she would wake up and leave, she found that Yun Zhi just raised her hand and took out the phone from her handbag, tapped on the screen, hung up the phone, closed her eyes again and leaned against her, mouth Still saying: “Ming Xia, you smell so good, it smells so good when you sleep.”
When she was in a light sleep just now, because the fragrance made her feel like she was in the Rose Manor, the fragrance was very light and faint, but very comfortable, as comfortable as when she was comforted and hugged that night.
If we were closer last night, we should have smelled more clearly, but the incident suddenly became more embarrassing, and I didn’t expect this kind of thing.
“Then sleep more.” Yu Mingxia raised his hand and lightly touched her cheek, helped her adjust her position, and said softly, “I’ll call you when we arrive.”
Yu Mingxia’s voice was very gentle, it sounded hypnotic.
However, just a few seconds after Yun Zhi closed his eyes again, the phone rang again.
She frowned, and after being continuously interrupted from her sleepiness, her expression gradually became impatient.
Turning on the phone, it was the strange number again.
She has two numbers, a work number and a personal number.
Incoming calls on the private account are generally harassing calls except for family and friends with notes.
She didn’t know where the information was leaked, and she kept receiving calls from strangers during this time.
She took a deep breath, connected the phone, and waited quietly for the other end to speak.
“Sister Wuwu, you finally answered the phone.”
Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that it would be Yun Xiangxiang who called her. Remembering that she borrowed her teammate’s mobile phone and called her before, it was to remind her to vote for her, so she guessed her purpose this time. the same.
Then he stated again: “Yun Xiaohua, you just woke me up to sleep.”
The implication is that it will not be so easy to get her to vote this time.
The receiver was quiet for a few seconds, and then Yun Xiangxiang muttered: “Can this section be cut?”
Only then did Yun Zhi realize that Yun Xiangxiang was recording a show.
Although she hadn’t followed up in real time before, she probably knew that the general draft would have a process of calling her family.
When Yunzhi answered the phone, Zhu Qingmeng turned off the music in the car.
The two chatted for a while before Yun Zhi hung up the phone.
No sleep at all by now.
“Now people all over the country know your sister’s nickname.” Jiang Yuanan said with a smile.
“Although it’s my problem, I still want to make it clear that this is not a nickname,” Yun Zhi said seriously, “it was a name I thought about for a long time.”
Jiang Yuan’an chuckled and looked at Yu Mingxia: “Mingxia, do you know that she has a younger sister?”
Yu Mingxia nodded.
“At that time, Yunzhi was in primary school, and he looked through the complete collection of poems to name her younger sister. When he saw the phrase Yun Xiang’s clothes, Hua Xiangrong, he thought it was very good, so he named her younger sister a little flower.”
Yu Mingxia couldn’t help laughing when he heard the words, and glanced at the silent Yunzhi.
Yunzhi, who thought it was nothing at first, suddenly felt a little embarrassed after receiving her gaze: “I really thought this name was very good at that time. My parents were planning to call me Yunzhi at that time. In comparison, I think I chose it It’s been pretty good.”
Yu Mingxia suddenly remembered what Yun Zhi had said to her before that she was kind to her sister, and the smile on the corner of her lips grew even wider.
For some reason, when Jiang Yuanan laughed at her, she could still refute, but when Yu Mingxia laughed at her, she felt a little uncomfortable, and remembered what she had said to her before that she was kind to her sister.
Seeing her pursing her lips and chuckling, Yun Zhi gently pushed her: “Don’t laugh.”
Yu Mingxia’s smile is beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and it seems that there is only room for her in her eyes.
“Oh, Zhizhi, why are you acting coquettish?” Jiang Yuan’an looked at Yunzhi teasingly, then imitated her voice and said to Zhu Qingmeng, “Don’t laugh~”
“Okay baby.” Zhu Qingmeng answered her with a light smile.
Listening to the two singing together, Yun Zhi said, “…”
Yu Mingxia didn’t say anything, just looked at her and smiled lightly, the corners of her lips were more curved than before.
“What are you laughing at? She’s teasing us, stop laughing.” Yun Zhi said seriously.
Yu Mingxia seemed to be taken aback by her expression, nodded obediently, and restrained his smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan’an teased: “My God, Yu Mingxia, you must be a strict wife in the future.”
Zhu Qingmeng interrupted: “Isn’t it good to have strict control over your wife?”
Yunzhi: “…”
Why did she feel that these two people were a little short of words today.
She raised her eyes to look at Yu Mingxia, but met her cautious gaze, and heard her say—
“Can you laugh?”
Yunzhi: “…”
She felt that Yu Mingxia and Jiang Yuan’an Zhu Qingmeng might not be able to stay together, what a gentle and honest person, now she would follow them to make such a mess of jokes.
“An’an, can you be quiet?” Yun Zhi interrupted the conversation between Jiang Yuan’an and Zhu Qingmeng.
Jiang Yuanan curled his lips and retorted unconvinced:
“It’s so strange. I said that Yu Mingxia will be a strict wife in the future. Does it have anything to do with Zhizhi? Why are you blushing.”
Yun Zhi blinked: “…”
It really doesn’t matter to her just listening to that sentence, but doesn’t it matter if it is combined with the context?
On the other hand, Yu Mingxia’s expression didn’t cause any emotional fluctuations because of their jokes.
Yunzhi was silent.
At this time, Yu Mingxia leaned over again and whispered: “Don’t be angry, this is your territory, and I should listen to what you say.”
“Didn’t you say that as long as we don’t misunderstand each other, it will be fine.”
For some reason, Yun Zhi had a vague feeling of shooting himself in the foot with a rock. But she didn’t dislike Jiang Yuan’an making such jokes, after all, she and Yu Mingxia knew it well.
In the chatting of several people, they soon arrived at the old alley in the east of the city. Zhu Qingmeng parked the car in the parking space, and several people got out of the car.
The old alley has a history of a hundred years, and there are many celebrities who have left traces here on the stone tablets along the street.
But there are many intersections inside, and if you are not familiar with the roads, it is easy to go around in circles. When you walk out, you will see the lotus pond under the promenade, which is in full bloom in August.
After asking many people on the way, a few people managed to reach the promenade.
Yun Zhi was taking pictures, and Yu Mingxia followed behind and watched her quietly.
Jiang Yuan’an tugged at the hem of her clothes, beckoned to her, and signaled her to take a few steps back.
Yu Mingxia did as he did, and heard Jiang Yuan’an say: “Zhizhi usually loves her sister very much. Thinking about her age, she was a bit confused about good and bad in certain things. If you meet her one day, please bear with me. “
Rather than worrying about it, it would be better to remind her to think better about Yun.
As for what she said, she couldn’t tell the good from the bad, and Yu Mingxia could roughly understand that it was all about Nan Qiao.
“thanks.”
Jiang Yuan’an was relieved to hear her say this, and asked her in a low voice, “What do you think? Do you like our family know?”
Yu Mingxia didn’t answer quickly, she was thinking if Jiang Yuan’an would tell Yun Zhi if she answered yes.
Now it’s just her guess, it can be regarded as the two are having an affair, but if she answers this question directly, it will be like clarifying her thoughts.
She couldn’t guarantee whether Jiang Yuan’an would tell Yunzhi directly, and whether Yunzhi would believe it, and what he would do if he did.
She dare not bet.
“An’an,” Zhu Qingmeng called her helplessly, “let them get along well.”
Jiang Yuanan pouted.
“What are you mumbling about?” Yun Zhi put away the camera and walked towards the three of them.
“I’m not interested in lotus, let Mingxia accompany you, I’m going on a date with Mengmeng, bye.” Jiang Yuan’an finished speaking, and before Yun Zhi could reply, he took Zhu Qingmeng and ran away.
“Don’t mind, Ann, she has a lively personality and no malice.”
Jiang Yuan’an is her friend, so she feels helpless at most when teasing her, but she doesn’t really blame her.
“It’s okay.” Yu Mingxia smiled lightly, remembering Jiang Yuan’an’s words just now, “I just heard your sister say that there will be a holiday in the middle of the month? Is the game over?”
“No, San Gong is over, let them relax.” When Yu Mingxia answered the phone just now, he was by the side so he heard part of the chat, and Yun Zhi answered her while patting the lotus.
After taking a few pictures, he looked at the eye chart again, and said casually: “If you are free, I will bring my sister to have dinner with you? She should like you very much.”
Yun Zhi just felt that almost all her good friends had seen Yun Xiangxiang, so she felt that it was normal to bring Yu Mingxia to dinner with her.
“I’m free,” Yu Mingxia said again, “but how do you know she will like me?”
“Because I like you very much,” Yun Zhi smiled, “so she will like you too. She has been my little follower since childhood.”
Yu Mingxia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Yun Zhi say that she liked her, and then realized that what she said was that she liked her friend.
He said she was a little follower, but when he mentioned her, he couldn’t hide the pampering in his tone.
Yun Zhi’s hand holding the camera paused, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Mingxia’s pensive expression, and then said, “Good friend.”
This is to explain the liking she said just now is the liking of a good friend.
Yu Mingxia pursed his lips: “I understand.”
Yun Zhi looked away, looked at the other end of the corridor, and saw a little girl carrying a basket of flowers walking towards them.
“Little sister, how much is this lotus?”
“Sister, real lotus flowers are not allowed to be sold here. These are fake flowers, 21 bunches, and 10 yuan bunches of other flowers.” The little girl replied.
There are all kinds of flowers in the flower basket, there are roses and daisies full of stars, and there is dew on the petals, which looks very fresh.
Yun Zhixiao felt that the little girl was honest and the price was reasonable, so she asked for a bouquet of fake lotus flowers.
The little girl handed the fake lotus to Yunzhi, and seeing Yu Mingxia standing behind her, she stretched out her hand to pull Yunzhi’s clothes, and said, “Sister, don’t you want to buy a bouquet of roses for your girlfriend?”
When the little girl said this, both of them were stunned at the same time.
Yun Zhi can’t laugh or cry, it’s fine that Zhu Qingmeng and Jiang Yuan’an made this kind of joke before, but I don’t understand why the kid I just met said this and bent down to look at her: “Little sister, why do you think she is my sister’s daughter?” My friend?”
Although Yun Zhi felt that the girl’s words might be based on “marketing tactics”, she still asked the words out.
The little girl is eleven or twelve years old, with an innocent smile on her face, and a childish voice: “I have two mothers. The way the elder mother looks at the younger mother is exactly the same as the way this older sister looks at you.”
Yun Zhi smiled lightly, she didn’t quite believe the little girl’s words, she looked sideways at Yu Mingxia, but she was slightly startled.
Seeing that the little girl was delayed selling flowers, I ordered two more bouquets of roses.
After the little girl left, Yun Zhi took two steps back and walked to her side, handed the rose and the lotus in front of her, and asked, “Hey, what did you think of me just now?”
Yu Mingxia took the flower, looked down at the petals, and replied, “Use your eyes?”
Yun Zhi tilted his head: “?”
Yu Mingxia smiled, and tapped her forehead with a rose.
Feeling the moisture on the rose petals, Yun Zhi muttered softly, “Why are you bullying me with the flowers I sent you?”
As soon as the words fell, she felt a warm feeling on her forehead, and when she raised her eyes, she met Yu Mingxia’s serious gaze. With a tissue in her hand, she gently wiped the place where the rose touched just now.
She smiled and said, “Wipe it clean.”
Yun Zhi was stunned.
Yu Mingxia folded the used tissue, went to the trash can and threw it in.
Yun Zhi came back to his senses, forgot the conversation just now, took a deep breath, and said, “You hold the flowers, stand there, and I’ll take a picture for you.”
These words sounded a little commanding, but Yu Mingxia liked her talking to her in such a tone.
After taking photos for a while, the two entered a snack bar, and when they came out, they found that the sky was gradually darkening.
Yun Zhi glanced at his watch, it was only three o’clock in the afternoon.
Looking up again, I found that the previously clear sky was now covered with dark clouds.
It’s going to rain.
To get out of the old alley, you have to go through the long corridor you came from earlier.
On the way, Yunzhi called Jiang Yuan’an twice, but he couldn’t get through. Before the two of them could walk out of the corridor, it started to rain heavily.
Unfortunately they got caught in the rain.
Fortunately they were trapped under the promenade in the rain.
In the promenade, many people who were trapped like them were howling.
Yunzhi calmed down instead, the lotus pond under the heavy rain had a different kind of beauty, hazy and gorgeous, she took a few pictures with the camera.
“Let’s wait here, there will definitely be someone selling umbrellas.” Yun Zhi sat down on the bench in the corridor, and seeing that Yu Mingxia was still standing, he tugged at the hem of her clothes again, “Sit down.”
Yun Zhi looked at the photo album for a while, and then showed Yu Mingxia the picture of her just taken.
“I found that you are really photogenic, you look good no matter how you take pictures.”
Yu Mingxia looked at the lens of the glasses, then looked at her eyelashes, and replied softly: “Well, you praised it once before.”
“The beauty of a person should be praised more, and there should be no conflict.” Yun Zhi smiled.
The previous sweltering weather was much cooler due to this rain, and the air smelled of mud.
“I remember when I was in the third year of high school, the math teacher loved to keep me in class. Every time I was out of school, I was the last one in the class. My friends were busy with their own things at that time, and I was almost alone during that time. Going home,” thinking of the past, Yun Zhi paused, and then said, “It rained a lot for a while, and every time I either forgot to bring my umbrella, or it was stolen by someone, that’s bad luck.”
Yun Zhi gritted his teeth thinking about it now.
Yu Mingxia listened quietly, and when she calmed down, she asked again: “Have you found the person who stole the umbrella?”
Yun Zhi nodded, clenched the camera in his hand, and gritted his teeth: “I found it, that person quietly threw my umbrella.”
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand again, and pointed to his wrist: “That man is broken, and he pushed me. My wrist was hurt for a long time, and the camera was broken. I was very sad at the time, if it wasn’t for the… “
Yun Zhi paused, gritted his teeth and did not continue.
The rain was still pattering, perhaps because of trust, Yun Zhi told a lot about the past, and she didn’t take the initiative to mention it to anyone in these years.
Yu Mingxia pursed her lips, thinking of Yun Zhi at that time, her heart ached.
He whispered, “She must have been punished.”
Yun Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, not because Yu Mingxia suddenly said such words in reply, but—
“You guessed it right. Not long afterward, she also fell into her hand. I was secretly happy for a long time.”
After finishing speaking, he smiled, and then Yunzhi raised his head quietly: “Did I laugh too badly?”
“No, she deserves it.” Yu Mingxia comforted her.
Yun Zhi knew that Yu Mingxia would comfort her, and every time she got along with Yu Mingxia, she felt very relaxed. As a friend, Yu Mingxia was too qualified, always standing by her side unconditionally.
“Ahem, but I was very lucky at that time. Although I was often detained without an umbrella on rainy days, every time I went to the lobby on the first floor of the school, there would be a public umbrella. Sometimes someone just came to return it. Umbrella, so I won’t go home in the rain.”
When he was in school, Yunzhi’s family was in good condition, but he didn’t like specialization at school, and he didn’t even let people pick him up and drop him off when he was in school.
After hearing about her request, her parents and the school gave special instructions. As a result, the math teacher was not special to her, so she was often detained.
After Yun Zhi finished speaking, he didn’t hear Yu Mingxia’s answer for a long time, so he didn’t know what she was thinking.
After a while, Yu Mingxia responded to her with a smile: “You are so lucky.”
The rain showed no signs of stopping, and the phone call to Jiang Yuan’an did not answer.
The two had no choice but to continue to wait for the rain to stop in the promenade.
Fortunately, Yu Mingxia is a good listener, and Yunzhi talked about many things in high school.
It was only at the end that Yun Zhi realized that it seemed that she was the one who was talking and Yu Mingxia was listening.
“Ming Xia, did you receive a photo appointment from me when you were in high school?” Yun Zhi suddenly remembered looking through the high school photo album.
“No.” Yu Mingxia answered her warmly.
Yun Zhi frowned slightly, she thought it was because Yu Mingxia was not interested in this aspect or was shy in high school, so she didn’t take pictures.
Is it really like what Jiang Yuanan said? Because Nan Qiao and Yu Mingxia had a feud?
“Did you know Nan Qiao in high school?”
When she asked this sentence, Yun Zhi actually understood that the balance in her heart had gradually tilted, and she no longer automatically favored Nan Qiao as before.
This was the first time that Yun Zhi had brought up Nan Qiao’s name in front of her.
As early as when she wanted to know the reason why she hated her in high school, she knew that the person Yun Zhi was protecting was Nan Qiao.
