love at second sight
Chapter 38
Sure enough, the underground passage was much warmer. The fluorescent lamps glaringly illuminated the entire passage. At the end, there was a wandering artist sitting against the wall, with an old guitar in front of him.
Xu Fan didn't intend to strike up a conversation, but he really couldn't bear to be quiet, so he put Xia Cheng down, and imitated the homeless man, leaning against the wall and saying: "Brother, why don't you put a bowl in front of you?"
The homeless man has an unshaven beard, messy hair, and ragged clothes. If it is a big summer, it is estimated that there will be a bunch of flies swirling around him.
The homeless man didn't turn his head to look at Xu Fan, but still sat upright, and replied calmly, "I don't want money, so I don't need a bowl."
Xu Fan wondered, "You don't charge for singing here? Are you an artist?"
The homeless man smiled and shook his head, "No, singing was just my dream when I was young. Now that I'm old, I regain my dream. I hope my bad music can make people hear some truths of life."
Xu Fan was aroused, and moved closer to the man, Fang Cheng immediately pulled him, but Xu Fan ignored him, and instead pulled Fang Cheng towards him.
So Fang Cheng looked like he was about to vomit again.
The appearance of the homeless man is too messy and bad to tell his age, but he smiled gently: "Little brother, it is fate to meet you in the middle of the night. Shall I play a song for you?"
Xu Fan: "Okay."
The homeless man picked up the guitar and played it lightly with his black nails. It was a very old song, the outside world.
The vagabond's voice is magnetic and hoarse, with traces of time, he sings slowly: "A long time ago, you owned me, and I owned you."
"A long, long time ago, you left me to soar far into the sky."
"The outside world is wonderful, but the outside world is helpless."
……
The guitar was placed on the ground, and the wind roared outside, sweeping away the fallen leaves all over the ground.
Xu Fan nodded, "Singing well." He elbowed Fang Cheng and asked, "Isn't it?"
Fang Heng said impatiently: "Yes, yes."
Xu Fan turned his head and asked, "What's the point of life?"
At this moment, the homeless man finally turned his head and glanced at Xu Fan and Fang Cheng. His eyes were sharp but gentle, which reminded Xu Fan of Chen Jianghai for a moment.The eyes are very similar, seeing through some things in the same way, letting go of some things, and facing life calmly from then on.
The vagabond said: "Young man, life is meaningless and abstract. To sum it up, it's just a sentence to cherish the people in front of you. Don't be like me. No one can cherish it. Even if you guard a pile of gold mountains, it's useless."
The homeless man glanced at Fang Cheng, smiled and said: "This gentleman is a noble person at first sight, treat this young man well, your partner is a good man."
Fang Cheng blushed immediately, Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, and laughed and scolded: "Fuck the truth, why do you think you are a master, and you can't even tell that we are brothers? You are farting here."
The homeless man smiled loudly, picked up the guitar and strummed casually, and light and soothing music came out.
Xu Fan's cell phone rang. He took one last look at the homeless man and led Fang Cheng out of the underground passage.
At the gate of the airport, a long black car was waiting. As soon as Xu Fan approached, the driver got out of the car and opened the rear door.
Is the back seat still two rows facing each other? As soon as Xu Fan sat in, he saw Gu Youjie who was facing a smile on his face.
Xu Fan smiled and said, "Brother Youjie, what a magnificent car."
Gu Youjie smiled gently, and greeted Fang Cheng: "Director Fang, welcome to City B, I hope you have a good time."
Xu Fan interrupted with a sneer: "Brother Youjie, he accompanied me to visit the grave."
Gu Youjie said calmly: "Well, I'll accompany you too. Go eat something first, and I'll take you back to the hotel. A car will pick you up tomorrow morning."
Xu Fan didn't speak, he looked at the scenery outside the window, the city's changes in the past five years passed quickly in his eyes, Xu Fan suddenly felt flustered.The past he was unwilling to face, the past he was eager to abandon, the past he dared not think of, seemed to have abandoned him first.This city is changing with each passing day, the streets are widened, and it is still bustling even at night. The wonton stalls at the entrances of the alleys have gone to nowhere. Vehicles in the street.
This former ancient city is now a steel box.
Gu Youjie leaned over, covered the back of Xu Fan's hand, and said gently, "Xiaofan, take you to eat your favorite double mushroom noodles. That shop is still open, you will definitely like it."
Xu Fan withdrew his hand and nodded silently.
Fang Cheng looked at the two suspiciously, but finally didn't ask anything.
Yingchunyuan, a century-old brand, the signature staple food is double mushroom noodles.The moment Xu Fan got out of the car, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled Fang Cheng and said, "Fang Fang, let me tell you, I grew up eating this restaurant! On the most kitchen table there is a picture I used to engrave. Where are the words!"
Fang Cheng asked kindly, "What did you engrave?"
Xu Fanfei's expression collapsed in an instant, Fang Cheng was puzzled.
Gu Youjie said lightly: "What he engraves is that he will become a powerful person like Brother Youjie in the future."
Fang Cheng said politely, "Mr. Gu is indeed very capable."
Xu Fan pulled Fang Cheng into the Yingchun Garden first.
Xu Fan hesitated for a moment, then went straight to the table in the corner.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Fang Cheng looked around and said doubtfully, "Strange, all the tables around are new, but this one is very old."
Xu Fan scratched his head, and saw his youthful handwriting on Fang Cheng's seat.
In the future, I will become a powerful person like Brother Youjie!
The dashes behind it vividly reflect the childish and carefree time of the year.
Xu Fan tilted his head to look, and suddenly smiled gratifiedly, like an adult who dug out a diary ten years ago from an old corner, and the bitterness and happiness of growing up surged into his heart, converging into a trickle. The trickle, moistens all the past time.
Xu Fan raised his head and smiled at Gu Youjie: "Has this place been renovated? Brother Youjie, you are still so good, if you keep this table, if I don't come here in this life, wouldn't you keep it for nothing?"
Gu Youjie tapped his fingers on the table, resting his chin with one hand, and looked at Xu Fan seriously, as if his whole life was not enough.This is the person he loves the most. What kind of heart did he go through to let him fend for himself back then and ignore him?
But fortunately, he is still in front of him, he doesn't care about himself as much as before, but he doesn't hate him either.That's enough, really enough.
I hope Shao Ning can treat him well.
Gu Youjie said to himself.It is enough for me to have a great reputation, and now I will choose again, and I will still be the most famous, and Xu Fan is the second.There will never be a second time in Gu Youjie's life when he has no power, no power, and is looked down upon by others!
Three bowls of noodles were served, and the greasy shiitake mushrooms and straw mushrooms floated on the noodle soup, and the strong aroma penetrated into the nostrils. Fang Cheng's appetite was whetted, and he almost spit it out again with excitement.
Xu Fan instructed: "Eat slowly, drink up the water in the cup before eating, moisten your stomach, otherwise you will feel pain and vomit later, it's so bad."
Fang Cheng said angrily: "Am I disgusting! Isn't it all because of you!"
Xu Fan immediately apologized: "Okay, okay, I'm a dog head, I was wrong, I was wrong, be good, drink some water."
Fang Cheng shouted: "Don't talk to me in this tone! I know it myself, shut up! Shut up!"
In the store after two o'clock in the morning, there were few guests, and Fang Cheng's roar attracted countless glances.The two young girls with heavy make-up at the next table immediately became excited: "Look! What a loving couple! Take a photo, take a photo immediately! Wow, who is attacking and who is receiving?"
Another girl took out her mobile phone and replied, "It must be the more delicate one. You see, he keeps yelling at Gong. Gong is a loyal dog and Shou is a tsundere queen. It must be like this!"
Fang Cheng: "..."
Xu Fan held up his chopsticks: "Wow, hahaha! My little sisters, you can see a hero with your eyes! Hahaha!"
Fang Cheng tapped Xu Fan's head with his chopsticks, and remained silent angrily.
The girls over there discussed again: "What's the matter with the handsome uncle on the other side?"
"Do you still have to ask? It must be that Xiaogong's father, ah, what a loving gaze."
Gu Youjie choked in his throat and coughed violently.
Fang Cheng looked at Gu Youjie sympathetically, and felt that the person opposite him was a little bit worse than himself after all, so he balanced.
Xu Fan turned his head and looked at the two girls viciously: "Don't talk nonsense, Ge Ge is a rapist, he is capable of burning, killing and looting, this is my junior brother, and the opposite is my boss, if you talk nonsense, I'll take you back and gang-rape you a hundred times!"
The girl at the next table rolled the eyes drawn by the thick smoke, and said in unison: "Oh, I'm afraid! Come on Gege, come on, you're welcome, you're welcome!"
Xu Fan: "..."
Xu Fan was completely defeated, eating noodles quietly, ignoring the two younger sisters.
Gu Youjie remained silent, and after supper, Gu Youjie paid the bill and took Xu Fan and Fang Cheng to the car to leave.
The hotel is a five-star hotel. Fang Cheng got used to this kind of environment, and he relaxed as soon as he entered the lobby.Xu Fan was in a trance for a while. He hadn't contacted this kind of occasion for a long time. Of course, recently he had been influenced by Shao Ning's mansion to be a little bit corrupt, but the five-star hotel was naturally more luxurious than that place.
Xu Fan pursed his lips, turned to Gu Youjie and said, "I'm poor, take me to an express hotel."
Fang Cheng immediately put on a bitter face: "Isn't it? Xu Fan, let me tell you, don't go too far, I just want to take a shower and sleep now, and I can't go out with you at night again!"
Xu Fan looked back at Fang Cheng helplessly, Fang Cheng couldn't pour out the bitterness in his stomach on the spot, so he had to hold it in his stomach and hurt himself.
Gu Youjie looked at Xu Fan tenderly, and said with a smile: "This way, the express hotel is probably full, and there is no room if you don't make a reservation. Xiaofan, you are tolerant to everyone, and you are also tolerant to me, okay? "
Xu Fan took a deep breath, turned around and waved his hands wearily, "Forget it, let's lead the way, where is the room card?"
Gu Youjie sprinted a few steps and went to the elevator, just like what he did for Xu Shengming back then, he blocked the elevator door, and when Xu Fan came in, he stood up straight and shot out his gentle gaze, making Xu Fan goosebumps all over.
Before entering the room, Xu Fan couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and pointed at Gu Youjie's nose and cursed: "Damn, you're fucking endless! Don't stare at me like I love you so much and don't ask for anything in return, as long as you live a good life! I poke your eyeball!"
Gu Youjie smiled and took a step back out of the room: "Xiaofan, good night."
He closed the door and left. Xu Fan leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.
While he was in a daze, a text message from Shao Ning arrived: "Good night, don't think too much, I'll wait for you at home."
Xu Fan's restless heart calmed down instantly.
Xu Fan didn't intend to strike up a conversation, but he really couldn't bear to be quiet, so he put Xia Cheng down, and imitated the homeless man, leaning against the wall and saying: "Brother, why don't you put a bowl in front of you?"
The homeless man has an unshaven beard, messy hair, and ragged clothes. If it is a big summer, it is estimated that there will be a bunch of flies swirling around him.
