Chapter Seventy-Eight Two Old Acquaintances

  Why does this voice sound so familiar? Brother Cui, brother Cui's, called out in such a sweet tone, so I immediately turned my head to look back, and saw a woman running out of a Chery car, with a neat short haircut, wearing a raccoon fur coat, a typical white-collar babe.

  I was wondering, buddy, I don't even know this kind of high-society person, did she call the wrong guy? But looking around, apart from me, there's only that brainless old Ye next to me.

  It seems she was calling me, but who is she? Just as I felt confused, she walked up to me and smiled at me with big watery eyes: "Cui Ge, how come you don't recognize me?"

  I stared at her, and no matter how I looked, she seemed familiar. But I just couldn't remember who she was. Yixing, standing next to me, suddenly lit up when he saw the girl, and with a sly elbow nudge, he said with a mischievous grin: "Wow, Xiao Fei, you actually know this beauty? How about introducing her to your brother?"

  I gave him a disdainful look, telling him to die through my eyes, then turned to the woman and said: "Sorry... I really didn't recognize you, who are you?"

  The woman looked at me as if she really didn't recognize who I was, looking very disappointed. She stretched out her right hand and then wiped the back of her right hand with her left hand a few times, making a motion of slapping someone on the ear, saying: "How many stars are in the sky?"

  As I saw her action, I suddenly remembered that she was the Zhang Yaxin I had saved at Jingpo Lake in my sophomore year.

  After I entered my third year of university, I rarely attended classes. I didn't expect to see her here today. People say that girls change a lot after the age of 18, but in these two years, she has changed so much that it's like she's become a different person. She's no longer the girl who cried at midnight after being dumped by her boyfriend. Now, with her new look, her long hair is gone, and she looks very spirited. Her melon-seed-shaped face is lightly made up, and her eyes appear even bigger with light purple eye shadow. Her pink lipstick makes her lips look full of texture.

  I couldn't help but sigh and say: Where is the "girl at eighteen changes" now? This is simply ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, no, it's eighty-one changes!

  Seeing that little girl from back then suddenly become so mature, it's making me, this old bachelor, feel a bit embarrassed. I mean, although I understand some things others don't, but to be honest, I'm still a 20-something-year-old virgin, the type who doesn't know what to say when faced with a high-class beauty.

  But I couldn't just stand there, so I said to her with some embarrassment: "Uh, it's you, huh? I really didn't expect to run into you here. Uh, what are you doing here?"

  I know my opening sentence is quite tasteless, because I really don't know what to say, so I can only make small talk. Apparently, Zhang Yaxin was also quite dissatisfied with my tasteless response.

  But she still smiled and said: "Of course it's me, Cui Ge, how can you not recognize me? I'm working here now."

  What? I'm stunned. Logically speaking, she should still be in school, how did she already become a white-collar worker with a car? This doesn't make sense at all. But I also didn't have the nerve to ask her, after all, we weren't close before, although she does know my story.

  So I had no choice but to say to her: "Ah, what a coincidence..."

  At this time, Yi Xin Xing coughed and I glanced at him, only to see him staring straight at Zhang Ya Xin with an expression as if he had never seen a woman before.

  Good heavens, could this folk scientist have fallen in love with Zhang Yaxin at first sight?

  So I said to Zhang Yaxin: "Right, Yaxin, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Yi Xinxing."

  As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Yi immediately stretched out his right hand to Zhang Yaxin and said while shaking hands: "Hello, my name is Yi Xinxing, 26 years old, they all call me Harbin Wu Yanzu."

  “·········································。”

  Zhang Yaxin was stunned, she looked at me, I suddenly felt the atmosphere become very awkward, and quickly pulled Lao Yi back, not wanting him to continue making a fool of himself.

  Obviously, Zhang Yaxin seemed to see Lao Yi for the first time, and she didn't know what to say either. So she said to me: "Cui Ge, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Maybe next time I can invite you guys to dinner."

  Everyone with eyes can see that this is just a polite phrase, but Lao Yi next to me is not such a person. After hearing Zhang Yaxin's words, he hurriedly said: "Great, great, when? Why don't we make it tonight? I'll invite you two, what do you think?"

  “······································。”

  If I had a mouse hole in front of me now, I'd guarantee to dive in without saying another word. Old Yi, even if you've taken a liking to someone, do you have to be so impatient? Don't you think about what time it is now? That big-headed female ghost might come out and harm people again at any moment, and yet you still have the heart to flirt with girls?

  Just when I was at a loss for words, Zhang Yaxin looked at me and smiled. She said: "Okay, Cui Ge, anyway we haven't seen each other for so long, I'll give you my phone number, let's get together tonight, and I'll bring someone else along, is that okay?"

  Since things have been said to this extent, what else can I say? So I squeezed a smile and said okay. Zhang Yaxin saw that I agreed, then told me the phone number, and then smiled and walked in the direction of the building.

  Yi Xinxing still had a silly look on his face as he gazed at Zhang Yaxin's back, this expression was simply too obscene, just like one of my university dormitory brothers, that brother would not watch erotic movies for a day and feel uncomfortable all over, once watching erotic movies, he would be fully focused and relaxed. As if a high monk had entered meditation, it seemed as if he was smiling at the wind and clouds, as if only he was left between heaven and earth. I suddenly felt that Yi Xinxing's expression at this moment was exactly the same as that brother's.

  Lao Yi looked at Zhang Yaxin walking into the Yuan's building, muttering to himself: "Water spirit, it's really too water spirit."

  I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey Yee, even if you're being clever, you can't keep staring like that. Have you forgotten what we came here for? I'm not very familiar with her either, so isn't this a bit much for tonight?"

  Lao Yi turned his head, patted my shoulder and said: "Younger brother, you're still young and don't understand the pain of an old man like me who's this age and still doesn't have a girlfriend. Just help me out, give me a chance, you know I've been a monk for many years!"

  As soon as I heard his words, I was so angry that I couldn't help but burst out. You think you've been a monk for many years, but I've actually been ordained since childhood! But I really didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, after all, he had saved me several times before. I thought to myself, let's just have dinner and get it over with, anyway, it won't take long. Alas, things are getting more and more chaotic.

  "So I said to him, 'Alright, Master Yi, let's head back now. We can't just stand here like fools on such a cold day. Let's hurry back home and get some rest. We haven't had any sleep all night.'"

  I pulled him to the nearest bus station, and on the bus he still looked absent-minded. In my mind was that big-headed female ghost. I found myself having an obsessive-compulsive disorder, the more I couldn't understand something, the more I wanted to think about it, but in the end, the more I thought, the more confused I became.

  Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just ask Ninth Uncle tomorrow night and I'll know. I don't know when it started, but Ninth Uncle has become a kind of existence in my heart, similar to Doraemon.

  Although I'm not in a good mood now, looking at Yi Xin Xing's silly appearance, I suddenly remembered what he said to Zhang Ya Xin earlier, so I teased him: "Old Yi, you said we've known each other for such a long time, how come I didn't notice that you look like Wu Yanzu?"

  Lao Yi looked at me and said: "I look in the mirror every day, I think it's like that, you didn't notice?"

  Dizzy, I was thinking that the mirror at your house must not have been wiped for a long time to produce this effect, and I really had nothing to say. So I said to him: "Cut it out, you're not Wu Yanzu, I think you look like 'Lao Lin'."

  Lao Yi didn't like it as soon as he heard it. He huffed and puffed at me, saying: "Hello! You look just like Sugar Triangle."

  “·························。”

  When did his eloquence become so good?

  After laughing and scolding him for a while, I arrived at my destination. I bid farewell to Lao Yi and got off the car, then returned home. Bao Long and his wife were not at home, so I cooked a packet of instant noodles myself and ate a mouthful casually before returning to my room.

  Last night was highly tense, and only now do I feel weak all over, my neck hurts, and drowsiness is also coming on. My body really can't take it anymore. I buried myself in bed and fell into a deep sleep.

  I had another weird dream, in the dream, the sky was red and it seemed like everything around me was blood. I felt very scared and kept running forward. As I ran, a figure appeared in front of me, dressed in white with their back to me, seemingly a woman. I noticed that her wrist was tied with a black rope.

  Was it the female ghost that ran away? I hurriedly ran towards it, not caring if I was still afraid or not, and grabbed its shoulder. It slowly turned around, just as I was about to see its face, I woke up.

  Covered in cold sweat, another nightmare, damn it.

  It's already dark outside, I looked at my phone and it was over 4 o'clock. Thinking that I still need to take Zhang Yaxin out for dinner tonight, so I got up, washed my face, and when I looked in the mirror, I found that my neck seemed to have swollen a circle.

  I called Lao Yi and asked him where to eat, Lao Yi said very coquettishly, let me decide, anywhere is fine, he's getting dressed.

  What's the big deal? I despise him in my heart, where to eat well? I suddenly thought of Yuan Da Shu's noodle shop, it may be a bit old, but the taste is absolutely unique, and I haven't seen Uncle for a while, I miss that old man.

  So I told Lao Yi the address of that small noodle shop, and after hanging up the phone, I went downstairs to take a taxi and arrived at Uncle Yuan's noodle shop. The door was pushed open, and there were still no customers here. Uncle Yuan and Auntie Yuan were leisurely watching TV, and when they saw me coming, they immediately warmly greeted me.

  Yuan Auntie said: "Xiao Cui is here, sit down quickly, isn't it cold outside? What are we eating today?"

  When I saw the two of them, my mood actually improved, just like seeing relatives. So I sat down at a table and said to Uncle Yuan: "Uncle, today I want to invite a few friends to dinner. Would you please make a few dishes for me?"

  Uncle Yuan still had that smiling face, he nodded and said to me: "Alright alright, think about what you want to eat and tell Uncle later."

  I chatted with Uncle Yuan for about ten minutes, and then Lao Yi arrived. He was wearing a down jacket on this late night, and surprisingly, he still had a Zhongshan suit underneath, looking very proper. As soon as he walked into the noodle shop, his expression changed, and I roughly knew why he looked like that.

  Because this small noodle shop is too shabby.

  He sat opposite me, complaining why I chose this place to eat. I smiled and said to her, you'll know when the dishes come up later, don't always focus on appearance. I dare say, this is one of the best restaurants in Harbin.

  But Lao Yi seemed to be skeptical, looking at Yuan Da Shu and Yuan A Yi, the two old men also smiled and looked at him. Lao Yi didn't say anything else, after all, he knew that I was a person who, although usually thick-skinned, rarely fell short in critical moments.

  I called Zhang Yaxin and told her the address, asking when she could arrive. She said it would be soon, that she and her friend were coming right away, at most half an hour.

  So I took out a cigarette and slowly smoked it, thinking that I should finish eating quickly and go back. I still have a lot of symbols to draw. Just thinking about those symbols makes my head hurt. It's just like an online writer who has run out of drafts.

  Before long, the door of the noodle shop was pushed open and Zhang Yaxin walked in with a smile on her face. I and Yi Xinxing hurriedly stood up to greet her, but when I saw the person following behind her, my expression suddenly froze.

  Good heavens!! Isn't this a coincidence!! Won't it be a coincidence that they all arrived together!!

  I don't know how to express my feelings at this moment. The person was also stunned when she saw me, and her expression was similar to mine.

  For a moment, the air seemed to have solidified, because the person in front of me was the one who had appeared countless times in my dreams. It's as if we've been toyed with by fate all along, and I never thought that today would be the day we'd meet again in this way.

  I suddenly felt like crying, looking at her, Yi Xing and Zhang Ya Xin seemed to have also noticed my unusual expression. Zhang Ya Xin turned back and looked at her colleague with a strange gaze.

  My former lover, Dong Shanshan, is now standing there with a charming smile.

  It's been 20 hours since I last slept while writing this chapter, to ensure the quality, tonight's chapter will be updated a bit later, thank you for your patience.
