It's impossible that Qi Jinnian's mood will not be affected as the marriage period approaches day by day, but she has been trying to adjust herself. In the evening, she went to Professor Wei's birthday party.
The birthday gift is prepared by Gu Tianqing, a famous painting. She knows that Professor Wei likes collecting these ancient Chinese characters and paintings, and she really doesn't know what to send. Although she thinks it's a short hand, Gu Tianqing says, "let's take it as if it's me. You just borrow flowers for Buddha, don't go out."
Qi Jinnian didn't know what to send, so he took the painting.
Luo Jing came to pick her up by car. Now Luo Jing lives a stable life. Although her father passed away two years ago, she has started a better life.
The birthday party was held in the box of a restaurant. There were two big tables, a dozen students and some of Professor Wei's favorite students. The scene was very lively.
When Qi Jinnian came to the door, he suddenly felt a little timid. Luo Jing took her hand and said, "don't be afraid, everyone is very good. Don't worry, no one will talk about it. Trust me. "
As Luo Jing said, although some students were surprised to see Qi Jinnian, they were all very friendly. Wei Feng also expressed a strong welcome to her coming. Qi Jinnian felt that his eyes were wet. He quickly gave the gift to Wei Feng: "Professor Wei, happy birthday, I hope you like it."
When Wei Feng saw the scroll, he was a little excited. He opened it to have a look. After identification, it turned out to be Qi Baishi's real work. Now he was even more excited. His hands were shaking: "here, here..."
Looking at Wei Feng's expression, Qi Jinnian knew that the painting must be of great value. Otherwise, he would not be able to do so, so he hurriedly said: "Professor Wei, you just like it. Take it back and enjoy it slowly. Is everyone here? I feel a little hungry."
Several students were also hungry after teasing. Wei Feng hurriedly told his wife to take the scroll, and then he said with a smile, "here we are, everyone is here. Let's sit down and eat."
Luo Jing asked Qi Jinnian when others didn't pay attention: "what did you send to the professor? Look how happy he is."
Qi Jinnian didn't know how to answer, so he had to say, "a painting, maybe it's just like what he likes. Come on, Luo Jing, I'll give you a cup of tea instead of wine. I haven't seen you for so many years. I'm so happy to see you live so well."
"Well, I'm also respectful to you. I hope we can all get over it as well."
"Well, cheers."
Two people look at each other a smile, many years of friendship, everything in silence.
Maybe I didn't think it was important at that time. I'll get back together many years later. When I look back, I'll find out how valuable the friendship at that time was.
Qi Jinnian looks at the group of people around her. They have appeared in her life. Maybe they haven't played such an important role. Some of them are as fleeting as meteors. But now when we reunite, how she misses those days. Now she also begins to think about it. If there is no circle, her life with Gu Tianqing is still on the original track, Will she have a baby and find a suitable job after graduation? What should she look like now.
Life has given her too much cruelty, too much price, people, it's really not easy to take the wrong step, sad mood suddenly, in front of the cup was suddenly replaced by red wine, she did not pay attention to, or drink a cup.
Some of the students came up to propose a toast, but Qi Jinnian didn't dare to drink more. She tasted it every time, but she didn't dare to. Later, she also had some hazy intoxication.
She got up to go to the bathroom to wash her face. At this time, the box door was pushed open. She stepped back two steps and raised her head. Across the door, she looked at the people outside.
The well-defined three-dimensional face shows the maturity of the years and the composure of time experience. It is also full of the sense of familiarity.
The old man met again. After the initial shock, Qi Jinnian's mouth slowly raised a smile and asked gently, "teacher Lu, long time no see."
Lu Shenxing stood there, covered with wind and rain, on the black cloth coat, but didn't expect that when the door opened, he would see such a scene, not earlier, not later, so in the boundless sea of time, he was gently favored by the years, so coincidentally just caught up with her, listening to her gentle greetings, driving away the fatigue: "I haven't seen you for a long time , the year of brocade. "
His outline is more profound than the past, his face is also more thin and three-dimensional. He has faded away the past's astringency, and his whole body is full of the taste of mature men. There is also time to carve out the vicissitudes of life. After all, years have forgiven them and made them happy to reunite.
When Wei Feng saw Lu Shenxing, he immediately stood up. Soon, a group of people surrounded Lu Shenxing, but Qi Jinnian was standing on the outside. After a quiet smile, he walked towards the bathroom.
Along the way, she was still in a trance.
Until she went into the bathroom and pinched herself hard, she was sure that she didn't dream.
It's really Lu Shenxing. He's really back. They are reunited.
Red wine has great potential. Her cheeks have been dyed with two groups of crimson color. Her eyes are also moist. Pregnancy makes her face grow some meat. She looks much better than before.Life once pushed her to the bottom of despair, but she found that the world did not abandon her, and life was not as bad as she imagined. So she said to herself, every day from now on, we must live well and happily, because there are too many difficulties in life.
After washing her face and fading away some wine, she opened the door. Unexpectedly, Lu Shenxing waited for her outside.
He was standing against the wall in the dim yellow light, the long reflection pulled by the light, a little lonely.
Qi Jinnian rubbed some swollen temples, a little surprised, but still kept a polite smile: "Hi, Mr. Lu, how are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you. Are you ok? I think you're a little drunk. Let me take you back."
Qi Jinnian smiled and waved: "it doesn't matter. I'm not drunk. I can go back by myself. You'd better go in and accompany the professor. You're late."
She walked forward, but her feet trembled, and the scene in front of her was a little fuzzy. She shook her head hard, and Lu Shenxing sighed, reaching out to hold her. "I'm not drunk, let's go."
"Ha ha." Qi Jinnian smiled twice and drew his hand back. "No, Mr. Lu, I'll go by myself. By the way, has Yunyao come back with you? Is she better? "
