looking back inadvertently

After graduating from university, Liang He did not choose to stay in the United States.He bid farewell to Liang Zheng, returned to China, and returned to the city where he used to live.

He was already very fluent in English. He studied business as an undergraduate, and soon found a job in an electronic product company, responsible for the business of the international market.

Compared with leaving, the whole city has almost changed its blood.Familiar roads and houses are no longer what they are in memory. They have been widened and demolished, new buildings have sprung up, and there are more viaducts.I heard from Yuan Jing that the old building opposite No. [-] Middle School will be demolished one after another in the past two years; when Liang Zheng went abroad, Qin Ying's house was handed over to Liang Mei to take care of, and recently they are talking about compensation.

The apartment in "Tianyuan" was sold by Liang Zheng. He didn't expect that Liang He would insist on returning to China four years later, thinking that it was an apartment he would never use again.

Liang Hetuo and Yuan Jing helped to find an apartment next to the work unit.He has passed the driver's license test in the United States, but he is not in a hurry to buy a car just after returning to China. It is more convenient to live near the company.I moved in in a few days, with very little luggage, and the most valuable thing was the newly bought laptop before returning to China.

After the apartment was equipped with broadband, Liang He turned on the computer and logged on to QQ after a long absence.He probably hasn't opened this social software for a year or two, and used more msn before.

As soon as I went up, I saw Wen Hao's flickering profile picture. The front ones were all messages from a long time ago. Although they were not frequent, there were quite a few scattered ones. The last two were sent two months ago and last week respectively.

【Do you still use QQ?Do you know who I saw today?Shen Zhe!I haven't seen him since graduation!Fuck, I forgot to leave his contact information]

【when are you going back to China?I just changed my phone, if you have a conscience, call me 139xxxxxxxx2]

Liang He read these few lines again, and his gaze stayed on Shen Zhe's name for a moment.

He had already applied for a domestic mobile phone card, so he used this new number to call Wen Hao.

"Fuck #￥￥@%!￥#" Wen Hao chattered all kinds of speeches that he didn't know whether they were swear words or excitement.

Relatively speaking, Liang He's reaction was much calmer, as if he just went outside for a short trip, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.

Wen Hao said that he wanted to meet at a place, Liang He agreed, but did not make a decision right away. After all, Wen Hao was on a business trip for the past few days, and Liang He just returned to China. Months later, we met at the Pizza Hut next door to "Tianyuan".

After several years, Pizza Hut's business is still booming. Fortunately, Liang He arrived early, and there was a queue outside at nearly twelve noon.

Wen Hao's appearance has changed a lot, he looks much more mature than before.Even so, Liang He recognized him at a glance, and waved to the looking around in the crowd at the door.

"Dude, you're back..." Wen Hao's way of speaking was more exaggerated than before, and Liang He sounded as if he had died once.

Leaving aside the awkwardness of the first meeting, the atmosphere between the two of them is not much different from that at school.Wen Hao is still talkative, and some people and things in the past can be poured out without asking deliberately.

"Xu Wenshan is getting married, do you know?" Liang He held a straw of lemon black tea in his mouth, Wen Hao said abruptly.

"Who?"

"You don't remember, do you?" Wen Hao explained patiently when he saw that he was in a state of distress, "It's the girl who transferred away in her sophomore year, Xu Wenshan."

In fact, Liang He still remembered, but the name made him immediately think of another person who was at the center of the turmoil back then.

"Remember," he squeezed the straw a little harder, "who did she marry?"

Wen Hao looked at him inexplicably: "Of course with her husband, but I don't know what her husband's name is."

"It's not Shen Zhe—" Liang He paused.Xu Wenshan's topic made him think of Shen Zhe easily, but in the past so many years, Shen Zhe told him to put it down long ago in the third year of high school, how is it possible now?

Hearing what he blurted out subconsciously, Wen Hao was stunned and then laughed out loud: "No way, do you still remember when she and Shen Zhe were married?"

Liang He turned his face away in embarrassment: "Then how did you know?"

"I work in an insurance company. Xu Wenshan has just been assigned to a bank. Our company happened to have a business with them, so we met! An old classmate was talking about the old days, and she invited me to the wedding by the way, but it will be September."

Liang He let go of the hand holding the straw.

"I met her husband once, he's a nice guy, but he protected her..."

According to Wen Hao's knowledge, Xu Wenshan may be the first to get married among her former classmates, and her partner is a university senior.Back then, my family was so opposed to puppy love, but I didn't feel restricted in this regard when I entered university. It seemed that my parents wanted me to get married as soon as I graduated.

Xu Wenshan's parents are unbelievable. While puppy love is prohibited, they are more anxious than anyone else to marry their daughter.Fortunately, Xu Wenshan met a suitable partner in college, otherwise she might not be able to escape the fate of being forced to marry.

"Shen Zhe...do you know about this?"

"Then I don't know," Wen Hao spread his hands meaninglessly, "So what if I know, the roads have already gone to the sky, and who can take the love in middle school seriously..."

There seemed to be other meanings in his words, Liang He suddenly thought about Wen Hao and Cao Lei.

"Then what about you and Cao Lei?"

Wen Hao blushed, took a long time to pick up the topic, and said weakly: "It's the same, when did it happen?"

"You broke up?"

"It's a long time ago." Wen Hao didn't care too much, "I haven't come down for a year. I just didn't tell you."

"You..." Liang He still remembered the joy in his words when he shared this incident with himself, "Did she mention it?"

"No, I mentioned it."

Liang He was puzzled: "Why?"

"Do you really think we're a good fit?"

Liang He only felt that his head was big, who knew if it was suitable or not.Having said that, if it is suitable, will it last forever?But if it's all left to the feeling, he has no room to intervene at the moment, the parties are all so nonchalant.

"She is different from me. In fact, at that time... I thought we were both out of our minds," Wen Hao said calmly, without showing any regrets. "She has a good future, she can go to graduate school and even Going abroad, it is impossible to come back here, I am with her... it will only hinder her. "

Liang He remained silent, Wen Hao asked self-deprecatingly, "Am I quite an asshole?"

"So what," Liang He sighed, "Anyway, the bastard's work is done."

Now that Cao Lei is mentioned, Liang He doesn't have a deep impression, he just remembers that he is not very talkative, with a gentle temper.He didn't understand the details of her and Wen Hao's relationship from dating to breaking up, and he couldn't make more judgments, even if it was only on the conscious level.

Liang He told Wen Hao the unit he was working for now.Wen Hao showed envy and said that this company is very famous in the city.Liang He also checked the relevant information when he was looking for a job, but what he was most satisfied with was the nine-to-five job, basically no need to work overtime.He likes his current job, except that his immediate boss is a little grumpy.

Wen Hao was temporarily running business in a small insurance company. Dong Mingpeng once asked him if he wanted to work in their company. Wen Hao thought about it after two years.

"It's hard work, but it's very rewarding," he concluded.

"Ah."

"Did I tell you that Zhao Zhuoyang went to the police station?"

"What?!" The name of the past sounds far away, and it is not difficult to retrieve it from memory, "Is he messing up again?"

"No," Wen Hao laughed while clutching his stomach, "He works at the police station."

"He became a policeman?"

"Well, he went to the police academy."

Strange to say, after graduating from high school, the brothers who used to hang out with Zhao Zhuoyang gradually became estranged from him, but Wen Hao and him maintained a friendship that was neither deep nor shallow for several years.

Liang He learned through Wen Hao that Zhao Zhuoyang and Zhu Yan had been on and off for a few years, and the seemingly inseparable relationship had completely broken up half a year ago, and they still haven't been able to get back together.

Not only Zhao Zhuoyang, but also Ye Minjuan's love life is very bumpy. She went to Beijing to study for the senior she likes. Different schools are not far away. They were in the same city for four years. They were indeed together, but they also died of illness.As for the specific entanglements that have been experienced, it is beyond the ability of outsiders to clarify.

"Oh," he finally mentioned that he ran into Shen Zhe in the restaurant that day, "Why did I forget to ask for Shen Zhe's number! By the way, do you still have his parents' phone number? Just ask, when you come out and come back again." Get together once."

"Well," Liang He nodded slightly, "I'll look for it."

In fact, there is no need to look for it, he has always remembered Shen Zhe's home number.
