Life is bloody eight o'clock

On Friday night, Ning Jun went to Tong Ling's house for a girls' night, exchanging what he had seen and heard recently, and gossip about his experiences. Since Ning Jun had just successfully got engaged, tonight's topic would naturally start from here.

Ning Jun brought a bottle of noble rot and sweet white. When Tong Ling received the wine, she saw her diamond ring and held her hand and screamed, as if the two of them were ladies and sisters in the Upper East Side of the United States.

"What are you doing, you've seen the ring." Ning Jun sent her the photo of the ring on WeChat as early as the first time.

"I've always wanted to try this trick." Tong Ling greeted her to arrange the fried chicken, salad, and small cakes while opening the wine. "Only your ring is worthy of this scream among the sisters around me."

Ning Jun showed a complacent and sweet smile: "In the future, your ring will be this big."

"Come on, instead of counting on men, I might as well work hard on my own." Tong Ling shrugged, "I can't imitate the way you wash your hands and make soup."

"Don't make me sound like Yamato Nadeko." Ning Jun protested, "I only cook occasionally."

"Yes, you still occasionally greet him with care, occasionally help him match clothes, and occasionally even prepare his mother's birthday present in advance."

"It's all very easy."

"Yes, yes, you are just his work secretary at work and her life secretary after get off work."

"Tong Ling!"

"Just kidding, last time you went to see his friends, how was it? Did you have any surprises?"

"His good buddy is Gu Yue, son of Blue Shield Group."

"What? The entertainment version has the same amount of Gu Yue as the economic version?" Tong Ling couldn't hold her wine glass steady, "Is it true? The young master?"

Ning Jun smiled. She didn't tell her the situation at the first time, just to appreciate her expression on the spot.

"Really, they are college classmates."

"Your old Xu's hiding is deep enough, wait a minute, they are good buddies, old Xu's family can't be a rich family, right?"

"No, I have met his parents, they are very ordinary people."

"It's hard to say, rich people don't show their faces these days. Last time, my sisters said that the big boss of her group went to the event site to inspect, so she wore a pair of old shoes, put on a work vest, and sent a message to the group. It's the same with box lunch, if she didn't see her leader's respectful attitude, she would never have figured out that this uncle is the boss."

"Old Xu's family is definitely not. They are classmates who became friends. When Gu Yue was in college, he fell out with his father. He was self-reliant. No one knew his identity. Old Xu and the others always thought his family was a poor family."

"What kind of routine is this?" Tong Ling took a sip of wine, "Private interviews with Prince Weifu, friends who can be relied on for the rest of the prince's time of crisis, so whoever fell in love with him when he was in college, wouldn't he become a rich young mistress every minute?" .”

"Gu Yue's love life doesn't seem to be very smooth."

"Because of being poor?" Tong Ling understood immediately, "Is it because I saw through the warmth and coldness of human feelings in my youth, so now I walk among the flowers and don't worry about a single leaf."

Ning Jun was amused by her rich and reasonable speculation, and then denied her: "According to Lao Xu, no, he has failed regardless of whether he is rich or poor since he was a child. It should be a flaw in his character."

"Eh? What character flaw?"

"It's not easy for me to ask too much."

"Why don't you inquire too much? You're just pretending to be noble in front of Old Xu. Who asked me to analyze whether Gu Yue and designer Alan Lan are a couple when watching Old Wave Entertainment two days ago?"

"I can answer this for you. Gu Yue is chasing after her, but he hasn't caught up with her yet. He bought Chun Xiaxiu's clothes and bought them as work clothes for his employees."

"No way, such an old-fashioned pursuit method, Alan Lan is famous for being cold."

Tong Ling seemed to understand the reason why Gu Yue's relationship was not going well, "If you just throw money at it, it will go further and further away."

"Gu Yue also went to the drama with her. Old Xu said that he hired the People's Artist Theater as a year-round VIP in order to chase after the goddess. This year's popular "Giraffe in Love" is almost ready to be performed."

Tong Ling was healed by the reality that rich people are tortured by the love they can't ask for.

"Compared to this, Old Xu has good taste. At least the gifts he bought for you are not bad."

"Old Xu's romance is romance, but it's not good enough when it comes to taste." Ning Jun turned on his mobile phone, "Do you still remember that I told you that I met a friend of Old Xu when he was hospitalized?"

"It's the one who said that he didn't have a good relationship with Lao Xu, and didn't let you tell me that he was here?"

"Yes." Ning Jun showed her a photo of himself and Yuan Ben, "Wow, that's called good taste. The director of the curatorial department of the museum yesterday."

In the photo, Yuan Ben has stern features, wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and a gentle smile in the corner of his eyes, which is indescribably cute.

"You didn't, you just got engaged, girl."

"I don't mean anything else. I'm wholeheartedly devoted to Old Xu. Besides, it's impossible for Yuan Ben to like me, the one next to me." Ning Jun pointed to the tall man standing beside Yuan Ben, "Boyfriend. "

"Wow——" Tong Ling sent out a smile that thousands of girls understand, "Old Xu's circle of friends is good, and it is diverse enough."

Ning Jun sighed: "It's a pity that Lao Xu himself can't accept it. I persuaded me for a long time before going to see the exhibition with me."

Ning Jun recounted the scene at the bar that day in detail, how he met Yuan Ben by chance, how nervous Lao Xu was, how embarrassed his friends were, and how it ended in the end.

"At first I thought they fell out quite early, but Yuan Ben's colleague still knows Lao Xu, so it should have happened in the past two years."

"Did you ever ask him what happened?"

"I asked insincerely, and Lao Xu said it was a matter of values. After I thought about it, it was because he was homophobic."

Tong Ling didn't quite agree with her point of view: "I don't think it's that simple. By the way, tell me which university they are from."

"Brother F, what's the matter?"

"My younger sister graduated from this school. I asked her to inquire about it."

"No, it's all ten years ago, and your sister is five years younger than Lao Xu, so you can't even see her."

"People like them will generally become campus legends. It is nothing new to have been circulating for several years. I always think it's strange that he doesn't mention anything about his college days."

"I even met his friends from college."

"They are friends, and they will protect each other when something happens..." Tong Ling educated her with wide eyes, "If I did something bad before, would you shake it off to my husband?"

"That won't work." Ning Jun still didn't think it was necessary, "What bad things can Lao Xu do? Maybe he just felt that he was stupid before and was embarrassed to say it. To be honest, what he did in school was pretty stupid."

"What about the time when you were studying abroad?" Tong Ling asked, "Stupid too? I've never met a man like him. He doesn't say anything about his past. Think about it for yourself, except for what happened after you met him. Did he take the initiative to tell you about himself?"

"I told you that when he was young, he buried other children in the snow and was severely beaten by his mother."

"Isn't that clever?"

Ning Jun stopped talking, and she also realized the problem in the middle.

"Also, I wanted to find a chance to mention it today. Do you know Lao Xu's net worth?"

"Oh, I know his salary."

"It's not a job, it's wealth, savings, whether there are investments, debts, real estate, etc."

"Ah?" Ning Jun was taken aback by the question.

"No way, my little sister, are you a contemporary woman? I don't know any of this. Where are you going to get married, under the bridge?"

"I am, no, we haven't discussed this matter yet."

"I have a phone call, call him." Tong Ling pushed a business card to her, "If your fiancé has not been transparent to you about his past, we need to investigate his present."

"It's not good." Ning Jun felt that this invisible number weighed a thousand pounds.

"It's much better than counting the money for someone after you've been sold."

On this night, Ning Jun accepted the baptism of the storm from his best friend, and his fiancé also had a wonderful day.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Douxiao was sitting in the corner of the coffee shop to relax. He put a pillow behind his waist and hugged another one in his arms. After placing two, the third one has bottomed out.

Too many unexpected things happened in the past two weeks, which made him lose the energy to fight. His shriveled heart has been locked in a cage without light all year round, because the light that leaked in recently has gradually expanded, and it is almost too close to be closed. degree.

Just a little more, whether it's a good-bye, a phone call, a message, even a smile, his heart can explode very quickly, giving the world a surprise.

Could this be a surprise?

Xu Douxiao moved his fingers to make the little blue monster blow up a whole row, and reached for the coffee cup.

Besides, where did so many opportunities come to me?

On his side, he was thinking wildly, and once the opportunity came, he could perform several versions of the big play, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the deck behind him.

With a little helplessness and a little tiredness, he could even imagine the smile on the face of the owner of the voice at this moment.

"I know, I know, I'm in the cafe downstairs from your studio."

Yuan Ben...

Xu Douxiao straightened up, and saw his own light from a cleverly angled mirror.

Yuan Ben sat there tapping away at a laptop, with a super-large cup of peach iced tea next to him, Xu Douxiao knew it would be too sweet even without drinking it.

Mr. Xu, who made up his mind to say hello, put his mobile phone upside down on the table, drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, and Yuan Ben's distressed way of scratching his hair pierced his courage, thinking that sitting secretly in the corner and peeping The basic qualities an ex-boyfriend should have.

Before he could figure out why, Wang Xiaoxiao arrived.

She sat neatly opposite Yuan Ben, blocking Xu Douxiao's perfect angle.But thanks to her loud voice, I could clearly hear the reason why Yuan Ben appeared in the cafe on weekday afternoons.

"When are you going to tell my mother that you have been suspended?"
