Time makes you fall

◎Drunk◎

Zhu Yao didn't know how he walked back to the private room.

Pulling his skirt all the way.

Now she feels that the skirt is too short, the high heels are too high, and the perfume on her body is too obvious.

All the carefulness loses its meaning in an instant.

Not long after Zhu Yao returned to the private room, the former squad leader knocked on the red wine glass to signal everyone to be quiet: "Now I announce that the class reunion has officially begun!"

The students shouted: "Lao Fang hasn't come yet."

"And Shang Xiaoran, she still belongs to the organizing committee, why hasn't she come yet?"

The squad leader smiled and glanced at the speaker: "You don't know what's going on with Shang Xiaoran?" The person laughed.

Zhu Yao sat alone in a daze: What's the situation with Shang Xiaoran?She doesn't know.

The class monitor said again: "Lao Fang sent me a message. The school has something to ask him to delay for a while. Let's eat first. He will come over after he finishes his work."

Another person asked, "Shall I wait for Lao Fang?"

The squad leader smiled and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry! I just came over from overtime! I can finish a pot of boiled beef in revenge!"

Just start to walk.

The squad leader, Shang Xiaoran and the others ordered a Sichuan restaurant this time.Salivating chicken, couple's lung slices, boiled beef, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, one after another, the oily and tempting.

Tang Nuo looked at Zhu Yao picking up cold cucumbers and threw them into his mouth, feeling uninterested in eating them. He asked her, "Can you not eat any of these dishes?"

Zhu Yao smiled: "Yes, I gained ten catties on camera."

She volunteered, "I haven't eaten white rice for several years."

"It's so miserable." Tang Nuo was a little shocked: "It turns out that those rumors are true. It's really not easy."

Zhu Yao laughed again: "Maybe it's because I have a body that tends to gain weight."

Seeing that Tang Nuo had been blocking the back of the old-style bag just now, she straightened up a bit, and she felt a little better.

"Your company's performance is not good this year?"

"My boss is a fucking b*t!"

"What kind of market is there, it's all cakes."

"Hey, the one you had a blind date with last time..."

Zhu Yao wanted to say something, but after listening to other people's chatting topics for a while, he found that he couldn't get a word in.

After entering the entertainment circle, Zhu Yao seemed to be put into a glass case, getting farther and farther away from the bustling and troubled daily life.

She suddenly thought of a sentence: An actor must have a life before he can act.

He also thought of Director Mei's pensive face sitting behind the monitor, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied with himself or not.

At this time, the door of the private room rang.

The squad leader bit a piece of drooling chicken: "Shang Xiaoran must be here!"

Zhu Yao was inexplicably a little nervous - Shang Xiaoran was an indispensable and important role in her big play back then.

And at the sports meeting, Shang Xiaoran suddenly gave her a hug, and the four words whispered in her ear.

That was the closest moment Zhu Yao got to "like" in his 23 years of life so far.

Zhu Yao couldn't help but followed the others to look at the door, she was a little curious about what Shang Xiaoran had become now.

Unexpectedly, Lao Fang's face appeared behind the door, and the monitor exclaimed in surprise, "Old...Teacher Fang!"

Lao Fang smiled: "It's been so many years since you graduated, so let's call you Lao Fang. Don't you think I didn't know you used to call me behind my back?"

The squad leader hehehe: "Old Fang, you are quite fast! Come in!"

"I have another surprise."

The squad leader smiled: "Did you meet Shang Xiaoran at the door?"

Lao Fang smiled and let the door open.

Zhu Yao's chopsticks suddenly dropped, one fell into the bone plate with a "dang" sound, and the other fell on the skirt and bounced on the carpet. Several people looked over, Zhu Yao was in a hurry, his face flushed, and he bent over to pick it up. Chopsticks muttered in a low voice: "Sorry..."

When she straightened up, the class monitor rushed to the door excitedly: "Teacher Qu! Didn't you say that you can't come if you have something to do?"

Everyone else was also saying hello to Qu Qingcheng: "Teacher Qu!" "Teacher Qu, I miss you so much!"

Qu Qingcheng has been the most popular teacher since before.

Delicate, gentle, under the gold-rimmed glasses, always with a soft smile.

Probably the kind of teacher everyone dreams of.

Zhu Yao lowered his head, staring at the dust that the chopsticks had just dropped on the carpet, and then saw several people hugging Qu Qingcheng.

Qu Qingcheng hugged her lightly, and greeted the others with a smile: "How are you all?"

Zhu Yao raised his head sharply.

She doesn't want to be one of "you".

I don't want to turn into one of the countless students that Qu Qingcheng has taught.

She spoke, perhaps with a trembling voice: "Mr. Qu, hello."

Qu Qingcheng didn't notice it. He looked at Zhu Yao with his usual gentle smile, but it seemed to be a subtle half a second longer than when he looked at other people: "Zhu Yao, hello."

It seemed that the cold and indifferent face that night in the dark was Zhu Yao's illusion.

Zhu Yao didn't know why he stood up.

It can't go on like this.

She was wearing high heels, she was obviously much taller than Qu Qingcheng, and she had a fresh and pleasant perfume smell, which was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qu Qingcheng.

She wanted to pull Qu Qingcheng out before she had time to get overly nervous, saying "Teacher Qu, I have something to tell you".

However, just as Zhu Yao stood up, a figure appeared at the door.

The squad leader happily patted the man on the shoulder: "Shang Xiaoran, didn't you say that you left early, but you were the last one to arrive."

Shang Xiaoran smiled: "It's a traffic jam, and my husband is not good at driving."

Zhu Yao froze on the spot.

After seeing Shang Xiaoran clearly, she already knew why the squad leader patted Shang Xiaoran on the shoulder so lightly, because of the high swollen belly - Shang Xiaoran was pregnant.

Qu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Shang Xiaoran, you are so efficient."

Shang Xiaoran took Qu Qingcheng's arm: "Teacher Qu, didn't you say you can't come because of something?"

Qu Qingcheng pulled out his arm, and changed a polite posture to help Shang Xiaoran go in: "I was persuaded by Lao Fang."

Is it because of Lao Fang?Zhu Yao thought to himself.

Shang Xiaoran walked in only to see Zhu Yao standing, and was taken aback for a moment: "Zhu Yao..."

"It's so beautiful now."

Zhu Yao: "...No."

When Qu Qingcheng helped Shang Xiaoran to sit down, he followed Shang Xiaoran and took a look at Zhu Yao.

The two of them sat together, a table away from Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao sat down again.

Shang Xiaoran had regained his composure, and asked Zhu Yao with a smile: "Why were you standing there just now, to meet me?"

Intimate and polite distance, it seems that Zhu Yao is a friend who was acquainted in high school but not close enough to be a best friend.

Zhu Yao: "...No."

She used to talk seldom, and now she couldn't think of a reasonable reason to evade it, because her heart was filled with another kind of shock.

From the conversation between Shang Xiaoran and Qu Qingcheng, Zhu Yao already knew that Shang Xiaoran and a boy from Class [-] were admitted to the same university, gradually became acquainted with each other, and got married as soon as they graduated. children outside.

Shang Xiaoran looked satisfied: "I'm looking forward to it now."

Qu Qingcheng smiled and asked, "Can I touch it?"

Shang Xiaoran nodded, and Qu Qingcheng touched it: "Why don't you feel it move?"

Shang Xiaoran smiled: "It's not like it's moving all the time." She asked Qu Qingcheng: "Teacher Qu, do you have any good news?"

Zhu Yao stared at his chopsticks, took out a paper towel, and wiped off the dust on the chopsticks.

The tissue was crumpled violently and squeezed into the palm of his hand.

She heard Qu Qingcheng say with a smile: "The students have urged the teacher to come."

"What's going on?"

"That's it... Mom and Dad have always wanted to find someone to go on a blind date with me." Qu Qingcheng slowly bit a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake.

Zhu Yao picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a big gulp.

Inside is white wine, and a hot burning sensation spreads in the mouth.

The classmate next to her looked at her in shock, probably thinking that people in the entertainment industry drink so hard, so they didn't ask any questions.

Instead, Qu Qingcheng glanced at her.

At this moment, the squad leader stood up: "Since everyone is here, let's raise our glasses together, and Lao Fang will say a few words."

Those who can drink carry white wine, and those who cannot drink carry coconut milk. Zhu Yao saw that Qu Qingcheng's cup was filled with milky coconut milk.

Zhu Yao didn't listen to what Lao Fang said at all, and waited for the order "Cheers", and drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp.

Qu Qingcheng glanced at her again.

Zhu Yao has a good drinking capacity, but drinking capacity is greatly affected by his mood, and it may be that he drank too much without eating anything just now, and now his cheeks are rarely hot.

Zhu Yao didn't want Qu Qingcheng to see her embarrassed, stand up and prepare to go to the bathroom to tidy up.

While washing his hands, Qu Qingcheng came in.

It seemed that he was also here to wash his hands, so he walked gently to Zhu Yao and turned on the faucet: "Are you a good drinker?"

Zhu Yao nodded.

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "I really grew up."

Qu Qingcheng lowered his head to wash his hands, Zhu Yao turned off the faucet, and looked at Qu Qingcheng's shadow reflected in the mirror, juxtaposed with Zhu Yao's own shadow, there was nothing out of harmony.

One is gentle and elegant, and the other is bright and cold.

If she wants to say "I'm sorry", she can say it now, and now is the best chance.

But seeing Shang Xiaoran enter the private room just now, the aftershock it brought to her is still there.

Shang Xiaoran, who got married, had children, and embarked on a well-behaved life, now it seems that her liking for Zhu Yao during her sophomore year in high school was like a rebellious joke.

Even if Zhu Yao didn't do anything at the time, did Shang Xiaoran like her enough to hurt Qu Qingcheng maliciously?

Zhu Yao was suspicious.

And Qu Qingcheng.

"Did you and Yang Shenghan get together later?", as if there was no need to ask, Qu Qingcheng said that she started a blind date again.

Has Qu Qingcheng changed?Was Yang Shenghan at that time just a choice made by Qu Qingcheng during his self-exploration?

Zhu Yao now feels more and more ridiculous.

Perhaps now, those hurts that Qu Qingcheng suffered deeply, just like when he was 17 years old, all come from Zhu Yao's own imagination.

Will a solemn "I'm sorry" put myself in an extremely ridiculous situation.

Perhaps Qu Qingcheng would slightly open his eyes and ask her, "What are you sorry for?"

"Teacher Qu." Zhu Yao called out when Qu Qingcheng finished washing his hands and turned off the tap.

"Ok?"

The "I'm sorry" stuck in my throat turned into: "Would you like to go drink with me?"

Qu Qingcheng was obviously taken aback.

Just when Qu Qingcheng was about to speak, Qu Qingcheng's cell phone rang.

******

Qu Qingcheng glanced at Zhu Yao, then answered, "Hello?"

The bathroom was not big, Zhu Yao and Qu Qingcheng stood together in front of the sink, and could hear a man's voice from Qu Qingcheng's cell phone.

It seemed that Qu Qingcheng pushed back the man's request to meet tonight, saying that he was busy, and the man called to ask Qu Qingcheng if he was busy, and when he could meet Qu Qingcheng.

According to social etiquette, Zhu Yao should go out and wait, otherwise he would appear to be suspected of eavesdropping on Qu Qingcheng's privacy.

But Zhu Yao didn't know why he stood still.

The man on the phone said: "You must give me a chance to meet, I have only seen your photos."

Qu Qingcheng replied gently, "Let's talk about it later."

Just hang up the phone.

Zhu Yao stared at the metal faucet reflecting the dazzling overhead light, and asked, "Go?"

"Come with me for a drink,"

Qu Qingcheng gave an answer that was beyond Zhu Yao's expectations, but not really surprising: "Yes."

"go."

******

"That……"

Qu Qingcheng said: "I'll go back to the private room to get the bag." It meant to sneak away from the classmate meeting.

Zhu Yao nodded.

"you……"

Zhu Yao said, "I didn't bring a bag."

"Okay, then...wait for me in the hotel lobby."

Zhu Yao nodded again.

When she was in the hotel lobby, she chose a sofa with people on her back to sit on. She didn't wear a hat and mask today, so if she was recognized by the audience, it would be troublesome.

She kept pinching the phone, turning it around in her hand, and turning it around again.

She was a little nervous, and always felt that Qu Qingcheng would send a temporary message saying, "I'm sorry, I can't leave." It took a long time to realize that Qu Qingcheng didn't even have her current mobile phone number.

Until a sound of light footsteps sounded behind her: "Let's go."

Zhu Yao stood up and turned around.

Qu Qingcheng was still dressed as usual, khaki windbreaker, thick cotton white shirt and white trousers, a pair of loafers were also white, standing there like a narcissus.

Zhu Yao found out that when Qu Qingcheng came, she became even more nervous.

He asked with a guilty conscience: "They... Shang Xiaoran and the others didn't say anything?"

Qu Qingcheng shook his head: "No, I said earlier that I have something to do tonight."

It's just that the previous "event" might be to meet a blind date, but the current "event" has turned into slipping away from the class reunion with Zhu Yao and going to drink quietly.

When Zhu Yao and Qu Qingcheng were walking out of the hotel together, they felt inexplicably skipping class as if they were turning over from the school wall in the second year of high school.

What's even more exaggerated is that this time she didn't "skip class" alone, but brought everyone's dear teacher Qu with her.

She asked Qu Qingcheng: "Have you driven?"

"No."

Zhu Yao wondered why Qu Qingcheng didn't drive?

Did you plan to drink in the first place?

But I didn't see her drinking at the class reunion just now, so... I was planning to drink alone after the class reunion?

Zhu Yao said: "My manager asked the driver to pick me up, I'll ask him to come over."

"It won't affect you, will it?"

What does it affect?Word of mouth?Zhu Yao shook his head: "No."

Qu Qingcheng said, "Alright then."

The two of them sat together in the back row of Sister Mao's Bentley. There was quite a lot of space, and the two of them sat far away. It was no problem to squeeze another person in between.

One looking out the left window and one looking out the right window.

The performance of the Bentley is very good. When waiting for a red light, Zhu Yao can almost hear the sound of Qu Qingcheng's breathing.

So light, so soft.

Zhu Yao suddenly hated himself for wearing perfume today, it smelled particularly pungent in the back seat of the car.

Mingming Qu Qingcheng's body was so clean that he didn't even smell at all.

She quietly rolled down the car window a little, hoping that the wind would blow away the smell of perfume on her body.

Qu Qingcheng turned to look at her for the first time: "Isn't it cold?"

"what?"

"Your skirt and shoulders are exposed, and the window is open, isn't it cold?"

Zhu Yao blushed a little: "I'm not cold, I'll close it if you're cold."

Qu Qingcheng shook his head, then turned his head to look at the left car window.

Zhu Yao leaned against the window of the blowing car, thinking deeply about whether he was wearing too revealingly today.

After all, this is... the former teacher.

The car parked in front of a house that looked like a private house without even a signboard. Zhu Yao asked, "This is a whiskey made by a friend of my manager. There are very few strangers, okay?"

Qu Qingcheng said, "It depends on your convenience."

Zhu Yao greeted the driver and took Qu Qingcheng out of the car.

Qu Qingcheng walked quietly behind Zhu Yao, which made Zhu Yao feel a strange feeling——

In the past at school, she followed Qu Qingcheng's footsteps and walked quietly.

For the first time, she discovered that perhaps, she had really grown up.

"Xiao Zhu? Why are you free to come here today? Where's Mao Mao?"

"Brother Li, Sister Mao didn't come, I came with...a friend."

"Then you go and sit down first, the table you like happens to be empty, so just drink the bar that was stored before? I'll bring it to you right away."

"Okay, thank you Li Ge."

Zhu Yao took Qu Qingcheng to the second floor and reminded her: "It's dark here, be careful of the steps."

Qu Qingcheng gave a soft "hmm".

Sure enough, after taking his seat, Qu Qingcheng's first words were also: "Zhu Yao, you have really grown up."

Zhu Yao smiled, and just about to ask "why", she saw Li Ge walking towards them with wine and fruit plate.

After Li Ge left, the topic between the two turned into wine: "Do you often come here to drink?"

"I'm fine, mainly with Sister Mao—oh, my agent, she often invites friends here to discuss things, and I'll be with her."

"Well, no wonder you drink well."

"That's not it, I... haven't practiced, it's natural."

"What about smoking? Is it natural?"

Zhu Yao smiled: "That's what I learned."

"Are you smoking hard?"

Zhu Yao thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "It's a bit fierce."

Qu Qingcheng took a sip of his wine, smiled and said nothing.

Zhu Yao carefully asked, "Have I become annoying?"

Qu Qingcheng: "No, I'm the one who hates people."

The whiskey bar is dimly lit, the music is melodious, and the old leather sofa surrounds the old wooden box used as a coffee table. People are trapped in it, and it is easy to feel a sense of ignorance.

Qu Qingcheng's soft words pierced Zhu Yao's heart.

The words she said to Qu Qingcheng in the second year of high school still ring in her ears: "I hate you."

"You actually like women, I... hate you very much."

Zhu Yao said, "Teacher Qu, I..."

Qu Qingcheng smiled and changed the subject: "This wine tastes so smooth, what kind of wine is it?"

Zhu Yao followed Sister Mao and learned a lot about whiskey. Now that Qu Qingcheng asked, she had no choice but to introduce it for the time being.

Qu Qingcheng listened, his eyes were half downcast, and the long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.

"I know a lot now." She smiled and praised Zhu Yao, and twisted the fingers holding the wine glass lightly, the amber liquid in the glass surrounded the ice cubes: "It's amazing."

Zhu Yao's face was a little hot: "...don't laugh at me."

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "Where is it? It's very powerful."

Zhu Yao never knew which sentence she said was right in front of Qu Qingcheng, and which sentence she said was playing tricks on the class.

Qu Qingcheng fell silent after boasting, and sipped his wine one after another.

It drank pretty fast.

"You..." Zhu Yao hesitated at the side and asked, "You can also drink?"

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "You guess?"

Zhu Yao sipped his wine and peeked at Qu Qingcheng's profile beside him.

The dim yellow light turned into a radiant bead, fell on Qu Qingcheng's gold-rimmed glasses, and bounced on her jawline, rolling down, lighting up Qu Qingcheng's entire face.

Zhu Yao quickly looked away.

Qu Qingcheng who drank wine was a little different.Zhu Yao couldn't tell why it was different, anyway, it was different from Qu Qingcheng standing on the podium.

Zhu Yao didn't dare to look at it for too long, because he always felt that something would happen if he watched it for too long.

Qu Qingcheng tilted the wine glass over, touched Zhu Yao's wine glass, and said, "Cheers."

His voice was a little hoarse, not as smooth as it used to be on the podium.

into a different flavor.

Zhu Yao didn't dare to raise his head, so he stared at Qu Qingcheng's fair fingers and said in a low voice, "Cheers."

There was a burst of wine fragrance between the two of them.

The music in the bar was blaring, and he didn't look embarrassed when he didn't speak. Zhu Yao kept his head down all the time, feeling the heat from Qu Qingcheng's body around him because of drinking, and felt a very unreal feeling in his heart.

This was Qu Qingcheng who she had always looked up to five years ago, standing tall on the podium, her eyes softly fell on Zhu Yao, and then drifted away.

Zhu Yao is just one of her many students.

But now, Qu Qingcheng is sitting here side by side with her, with a windbreaker on the armrest of the sofa between them, wearing a thick white shirt, even his fair fingertips are a little red from drinking.

Zhu Yao was immersed in the illusion that there is no distinction between the sun and the sun in the bar, and felt that he could sit forever.

Until Brother Li came over and said, "Uh, Xiao Zhu...is your friend drunk?"

Zhu Yao said, "No way, I think she can drink quite well."

Brother Li glanced at Zhu Yao with "your stupid eyes".

Zhu Yao felt that something was wrong, so she plucked up the courage to support Qu Qingcheng's shoulder: "Teacher Qu, are you okay?"

"Teacher Qu? Teacher Qu? Qu Qingcheng?"

Qu Qingcheng was slightly shaken by Zhu Yao's shoulders, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were a little confused with a smile: "Zhu Yao."

Zhu Yao looked back at Li Ge: "Isn't this good?"

In the next second, Qu Qingcheng stepped forward in a daze, and fell on Zhu Yao's shoulder.

Zhu Yao's whole body tensed up, and he didn't dare to move for a moment.

Qu Qingcheng had never had any scent on him, but now the smell of alcohol mixed with his scorching body temperature made it even more obvious.

This is the first time that Zhu Yao has smelled a distinct smell from Qu Qingcheng. Maybe Qu Qingcheng is a Chinese teacher. Zhu Yao supported her shoulder, and an idiom popped up in his mind—lively and fragrant.

She scolded herself again in her heart: What a mess!This is Teacher Qu!

She has always looked up to Teacher Qu who is always a classroom away.

Until Qu Qingcheng leaned on her shoulder and said with a smell of alcohol, "Zhu Yao."

"You're an asshole, you know that?"
