straight to heaven

Xia Sang's family had to go to other boxes, and without too much delay, the couple quickly left with their children in their arms.

Zhang Xiaomao took the initiative to ask everyone to sit down, and did not make any special arrangements, but Pei Yanlai happened to be sitting on my left.

He wiped his hands slowly, took another wet tissue from the classmate next to him, turned around and handed it over: "This is for you, wipe it off."

I froze for a moment, then took it: "...Thank you."

Pei Yan came back and forth and said, "You're welcome."

He stuffed the used wet wipes back into the packaging, got up and threw them into the trash can not far away.

Zhang Xiaomao is dressed very formally today, with his hair combed back, and the hairspray shining under the overhead light.He opened a bottle of white wine and yelled: "Come on, brothers and sisters, today is a good day for the school committee, we have to save face for others, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

As he spoke, he was about to pour wine for the people around him, but he stopped him: "Hey, Lao Zhang, don't worry, everyone hasn't arrived yet, it's not appropriate to have a banquet at this moment."

The man indicated with his eyes that there was indeed a seat in the diagonally opposite corner that was empty.

Zhang Xiaomao groaned: "Really." He glanced around and asked, "Who else hasn't arrived?"

Discussions sounded brokenly.

After a while, the woman sitting next to him reminded him in a low voice: "It's Sun Tingzhou. When Xia Sang asked him out some time ago, he said he didn't have time today, but he changed his words a few days ago and said he could come, but it would be later... But It's almost time to see."

Almost at the end of the sentence——

"Sir, please."

The waiter opened the door of the box.

My alarm bells went off.Fortunately, most people's eyes are focused on the door at this moment, and I naturally mixed in, looking at this old rival full of mysteries calmly.

There is no doubt that Sun Tingzhou's facial features are not very beautiful.The film lens is too picky, and can always emphasize and expose the shortcomings such as left-right asymmetry, uneven skin, and insufficient proportions, but in his debut film, this face is very eye-catching.On the Internet, this is called a movie face, and there are stories when you watch it.

Over the years, he has not changed much, except that he cut his long hair.

Maybe it was my delusion. With so many old classmates present, Sun Tingzhou just glanced in my direction.My eyes met in the air for a moment, and I felt uncomfortable, so I silently moved my upper body back a few centimeters to block Pei Yanlai.

Lightly, he quickly looked away and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm late. I have something urgent to deal with in the morning, and I have delayed everyone's time. I am really sorry."

I was preconceived, and felt that his tone was too precise as always.Compared with Pei Yan, her acting skills are slightly inferior.

Greetings came and went, and the atmosphere was warm.

"What's the matter? A family doesn't talk about two different languages!" It was Zhang Xiaomao who took the initiative to greet him, and led him into the seat with his back half slung: "Come, come, let us handsome Sun be seated."

Seeing this, Geng also beckoned the waiter to serve hot dishes.

Sun Tingzhou was seated directly opposite me, and whenever I raised my head, his face was unavoidable.

A five-star hotel with a good environment, but the taste of the food is not good, so that the whole meal to the middle and the end, there are not many wrecks on my plate, and a large bucket of coconut milk drinks all went into my stomach.

People have three urgency.

"I'm going to the bathroom." The coconut milk was a bit hot, and I even informed Pei Yan before I got up.

The atmosphere on the wine table is hot, even if I disappear for a while, no one will notice.This is too much to say.

Sure enough, Pei Yanlai probably also felt that my brain was flooded.He looked at me without responding, but his eyes were too deep.

I'm gone, but thinking about his look, I always feel a little subtle.

The bathroom in the box was occupied by a female classmate first, so I had to move to the end of the corridor.After solving my physical problems, I was washing my hands, and my hands were filled with lemon-flavored foam. When I looked up, another face appeared in the mirror.

"..." I flushed the foam: "Are you coming to the toilet?"

Sun Tingzhou stood behind me with a very casual posture, leaning against the smooth marble wall, and smiled when he heard this: "No, I'm free, I'm here to talk to you."

"Talking here?"

Sun Tingzhou took out a piece of paper and handed it to me: "I have read it, there is no one here, it is clean."

I took it: "Thank you."

"Don't keep your face cold. If you don't know, you think I have a grudge against you." Sun Tingzhou's tone has not changed for many years: "By the way, you deleted my WeChat?"

I folded the paper into a ball and smashed it into the trash can at his feet without any mistakes: "I ordered it wrong."

"No wonder."

I twitched the corner of my mouth: "It was when you sent the friend request that I made a mistake."

I want to tell him that I have no intention of making friends with him at all.The news that Pei Yanlai and I worked together is now known to everyone, if this grandson wants to get in touch with Pei Yanlai through me, get some benefits from it, or deliberately ridicule me... there is no way.

Sun Tingzhou has been doing wedding celebrations for many years, immersed in the jumble of fish and dragons, I said this with a gun and a stick, but when he heard it, he still didn't change his face, and laughed at Yanyan.

"Okay." He took out a cigarette from his pocket, which was a cheap brand, but he didn't smoke it. "But I probably guessed how I offended you."

In negotiations, the first opportunity determines success or failure.I didn't want to go around here with him, leaned on the water platform, and said directly: "To be honest, I don't care what you plan to talk to me when you come to me, but frankly speaking, I do have some questions to ask you I ask you to answer, if you can accept it, continue, if not, forget it.”

"Lin Xiaoshan, you really haven't changed much." Sun Tingzhou was surprisingly easy to talk, he smiled inexplicably and meaningfully: "Okay, yes, you can ask."

"What does Pei Chong have to do with you?" I stared at him.

His expression remained unchanged, and there was an air of coquettishness when he lowered his eyes.Soon, he replied.

"Slept."

"..." Having been mentally prepared, this is not an unexpected answer.But I'm not interested in Pei Chong's love history, what I care about is his son: "But you still confessed your love to Pei Yan."

Silence spread, and the small hum of the exhaust fan amplified.

After a while, Sun Tingzhou sighed, and the smoke twirled between his fingers: "You were really there at that time."

I looked at him and said nothing.

He had no choice but to continue: "I annoyed Pei Chong and his wife at that time. Those two had great energy. It was inevitable that I would be hidden in the snow. The only chance was to catch Pei Yanlai's line. You know, his parents without him."

He jokingly raised his eyebrows at me, and a corner of the fox's tail finally showed: "Besides, people like us, who can't be malicious towards Pei Yan. Don't you think so?"

I'm too lazy to argue with him about "our kind of people".

"Have you been captured?" My question was sharp and mean.

It's quite normal logic, but Sun Tingzhou seemed to hear some joke when he heard the words, he pursed his lips and laughed for a while, and then said: "Don't say such harsh words. You have no intersection with this circle, it's normal that you haven't heard of these things Boss Gao, it is Pei Yanlai's mother, who is no less vicious than Dong Pei, and I have seen pictures of her and the female secretary, which are quite exciting."

I'm tired of his half-speaking and half-speaking tone, so I questioned directly: "How can this kind of photo be seen by you?"

It's not that I look down on anyone.It's just that this kind of scandal and secret history is rarely seen. Where did Sun Tingzhou get his skills?

Sun Tingzhou laughed even harder.But I know that I can't get annoyed when dealing with this kind of person. Impatience or anger will only lead to confusion. I waited silently with my arms folded until the laughter stopped.

"No..." He cleared his throat, completely refraining from acting gentle, courteous and frugal in front of me: "You cling to Pei Yanlai like a puppy and surround him. You don't even know what kind of person he is, do you?"

I thought it was funny, so I asked back: "Do you think you know him better than me?"

"All right, all right, don't get me wrong, I won't argue with you." Sun Tingzhou seemed to have misunderstood what I meant, but it didn't matter.He spread his hands: "Let me tell you a story."

I looked at the time on my watch and said, "Long story short."

Things were much more bloody than I imagined.

Sun Tingzhou hooked up with Pei Chong during the casting of the movie "Riverside". .

Pei Chong can be regarded as a perfect lover, with generous financial and career benefits, but also in love life, there is no shortage of tenderness and smallness outside of opening a house.

The principle of only talking about the exchange of benefits and not talking about giving and taking of feelings made Sun Tingzhou stand out from the crowd, but at that time, he was young, and the bad roots of favoring and arrogance quickly emerged.

According to him, Pei Chong and Gao Wenfu are just superficial couples. They agreed on OpenRelationship before they got married, and they would not interfere with each other in private. They should have lived in peace.It’s just that near the Qingming Festival in the third year of high school, Pei Chong had a newcomer, and he was also making a movie. The yard put people to sleep.

What Sun Tingzhou didn't know was that there was an unwritten agreement between the two of Pei Gao - outsiders could not bring into the two families.He caused trouble.

Early the next morning, he was carried out of the main hall in embarrassment, and together with Pei Chong, he was so humiliated that he couldn't lift his head in front of the Gao family.At that time, he was young and energetic, and he only knew how to bear a knife on his head, but he didn't understand that impulsiveness was the devil. The moment his nerves were broken, he found a stack of Gao Wenfu's shady photos, and stabbed the whole room.The old man of Gao's family almost fainted from anger, and even fed a few quick-acting heart-rescuing pills.

It's not uncommon for wealthy families to see their secrets and adultery, but most of them are tacit understandings that you don't tell and I don't tell.This time, Sun Tingzhou had completely stabbed the hornet's nest. Pei Chong was willing to guarantee him to take the college entrance examination because of his old love, but Gao Wenfu would not let it go.

On the surface, he said it was Xuezang, but he suffered all kinds of crimes in private, and he didn't want to talk about it.

In the end, I’m still doing it myself. I’m not in the mood to feel sorry for others, so I just frowned and asked, “How could it be such a coincidence to break the taboo on the day of worshiping the ancestors? Where did those photos come from? Since you’ve said it, don’t hide half of it and say the other half.” , quite boring."

"You're not stupid." Sun Tingzhou said: "But you've posed all the questions, isn't the answer still clear?"

"..."

I froze for a moment, and quickly realized what was going on.

He saw my face move slightly, so he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"At that time, I didn't realize that I was designed, and I didn't realize it until a long time later. So you still don't understand? Pei Yanlai is a very dangerous person, and he will be in bad luck if he gets involved. You will gain wisdom if you suffer from it. You are so close to him, there is a high probability that you are already within the monitoring range of those two, so you should be a little nervous."

I was speechless for a while.

I wasn't thinking about anything else, I just suddenly realized that the reason why Gao Wenfu looked nervous when he saw me last time was most likely because he was worried that I, like Sun Tingzhou, was another hook in Pei Yanlai's hand.

Should I be nervous?

He, Pei Yanlai, told me personally that there is no chance to meet again in this life, why should I be nervous?

What kind of person Pei Yanlai is, whether he is a ghost or a fairy or the Jade Emperor Seven Fairies, I don't need another person to tell me.I straightened my cuffs and asked one last question before leaving.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Sun Tingzhou's expression became subtle for a moment, but his talented acting skills made him look normal soon.

"It's not easy to do weddings in the capital, and my parents are urging them to get married. I'm going back to my hometown to see the fish farm." He took out a paper ticket for an old-fashioned train from his pocket: "I'm leaving tonight."

I stared at him and heard him say again: "I know you have wanted to ask for a long time. If I don't say anything today, I will have no chance in this life. It is a parting gift for you."

With a lot of thoughts, I walked to his side and stopped: "I thought our relationship was not so good."

Sun Tingzhou shrugged, his eyes were sly.He approached me, his voice was very low, and he answered the irrelevant question in a sympathetic tone: "Pei Yanlai doesn't like men, does he?" He chuckled lightly: "I wish you good luck."

After speaking, he walked past me and pushed open the toilet cubicle.There was a muffled sound when the door closed, which instantly crushed my pretentious innocence.

Time is a torrent that can break a dam, but its existence is indisputable.I don't care about decency, it's not my style to laugh away at old grudges.

So I said indifferently: "It's gone."

When I got out of the bathroom, I was a little out of my mind.He turned left with his head down and bumped into someone.

"Isn't it..." After I was stunned, Liushen Wuzhu: "Is it you?"

Pei Yanlai didn't know how long she stood here.I hurriedly measured the distance with my eyes back and forth, guessing whether he could hear my conversation with Sun Tingzhou, and if he could, how much he listened to.

"En." Pei Yanlai stretched out his hand to strangle the drawstring of my hoodie, and I was so calm that I stopped moving around.

"Why are you here?" My heart fluttered a few times, feeling a little guilty.

Pei Yanlai said lightly, "I can't be here?"

I wanted to shake my head, but my neck was itchy from being strangled, so I loosened my hands and said, "...that's not what I meant."

To be honest, I have too many things I want to ask Pei Yanlai.

About the past, about the present, about the future.Some vague and outrageous ideas gradually took shape in my mind, and I couldn't help thinking wildly while I didn't dare to prove it.

After starving for too long, the instinct to eat voraciously fades from the genetic spectrum.There is a wildfire at the moment, burning my mouth so dry that I almost broke my teeth.

"Let's go?"

Pei Yanlai asked suddenly.

My thoughts were interrupted, and I suddenly died down.

Did you want to protect me by not letting me see his parents?But what can this mean?

Can I guess?Dare I guess?After guessing, should I really ask at this moment and on this occasion?

Even if there is an answer to the question that bothers me, if the answer goes against what I want, there is really nothing I can do about it.

So I could only pretend to be waking up from a big dream and stammered and asked, "Ah? What, what?"

Pei Yan came to look at me, and repeated patiently: "Let's go? Together."

"Now?" The dinner should not be over yet, so I hesitated.

"Now." Pei Yanlai looked at me calmly, I remained silent, and then I saw the world and everything in his eyes like a tower built with sand.

I licked my lips and said go.
