Yang Jingxing was still not used to the elitist behavior of Americans. He stuck out his butt in this high-end place, lifted the sofa and took a step forward. He put his hands on the table and lay half-ly like an old farmer in the northwest, with his eyes just a few meters away from Tao Meng's face.

It's only about one meter.

Tao Meng still had the posture of a lady, and the expression on her face did not change due to Yang Jingxing's rude behavior. She was serious or sincere, but her eyes shone in the warm light and seemed to be a little suspicious, and her thin lips

Squeeze a little tighter than your natural state.

Yang Jingxing wanted to say something, but the coffee delivery man came. He seemed to realize that the hotel property had been moved, and asked the guest if he needed anything with a smile.

Yang Jingxing's tone was simply dismissive, "It's okay, thank you."

After the waiter left his back, Tao Meng returned his gaze to a certain location on Yang Jingxing's upper body.

Yang Jingxing also looked at the general direction of Tao Meng's head and asked, "When do you think the student years will end? It's the innocent, or naive, student years."

Tao Meng's eyes flickered to Yang Jingxing's eyebrows, and she reasoned: "Life is linear, there is no sudden maturity, no nodes."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "You are right, but I mean something else... I think college is a new beginning. You think, when you go from elementary school to junior high school, the novelty will not last long, and you will go back soon. From junior high school to high school,

Especially you, you are all in Shangpu, and there is nothing new. At that time, just study hard and don't have to think about too many things. The so-called worries and worries, even if you look back now, if you don't say ten years, it's ridiculous, of course it's cute...

What do you think?"

It's a good thing to be reasonable. Tao Meng picked up the spoon and put it in the cup. Then he looked at the person he was talking to. He seemed to have a bit of a monitor style: "It's the same in college, but the learning method is different."

Yang Jingxing said: "I feel there are too many differences. Not only me, but my classmates and friends all feel this way. College is about to face life, whether you like it or not. After the freshness when you first entered the campus is over,

It’s no longer your classmates and teachers who are right, but your own life. What you want to learn and what you want to learn, the way of thinking is completely different.”

Tao Meng nodded: "In some ways."

Yang Jingxing continued: "Look at when I was a kid, in the first grade, the teacher asked my classmates what they wanted to be when they grew up. Some of them wanted to be scientists, inventors, policemen, doctors... I remember you said

You want to be a painter, and I wanted to be a high official at that time. You can at least draw now, and I don’t even have a chance to be Bi Mawen. But speaking of it, I’m not ashamed at all, it’s ridiculous and cute.”

Tao Meng seemed to comfort him: "It's not good to be an official."

Yang Jingxing said: "The good thing is the second one. This is not an excuse to comfort yourself. There is no need to comfort yourself because of the momentum. There are a few people who will be worried about not being able to realize their childhood dreams. Even you Tao Meng can't, let alone me. This is what I want."

It’s a matter of course.”

Tao Meng frowned: "I don't agree. There are many people who persevere from childhood to realize their dreams in the end."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes, yes, if you were not responsible, you would definitely become a painter."

Tao Meng frowned even more: "I didn't mean that I..." There was also some emotional expression on her lips.

Yang Jingxing said: "Most of them, anyway, in junior high school, of course they won't say in front of the whole class that they want to be scientists, but everyone still has dreams, and they still fantasize about their future, and they are all very romantic.

That kind of thing. When I was in junior high school, I thought I could become a rich man in the future, and the kind of rich man who didn’t have to work, just eat, drink and have fun.”

Tao Meng reassured: "There is no such thing, and it is not romantic."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "But now that I think about it, I think it can be forgiven. What do teenagers know? I can't hold myself to the monitor's standards."

"You didn't recognize me in junior high school." Tao Meng complained, putting her hands on the table so that the distance between her eyes was close to half a meter.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Let's talk about high school. I remember when school started, Teacher Jiang didn't ask us to talk about any dreams at all, right?"

Tao Meng nodded and said seriously: "But she will encourage you, including you."

Yang Jingxing nodded repeatedly: "Yes, good teacher. I talked about this topic with Tan Dong once. In fact, we were still romantic and naive at that time. In fact, Tan Dong's family conditions are also good. Although he is far worse than Shao Lei, he can

I think, I am not as good as you, I will definitely surpass you in the future."

Tao Meng smiled slightly with a reproachful expression.

Yang Jingxing said: "Now he knows that it is impossible. Shao Lei's family is engaged in mining and has several billions. He, in his own words, knows that the reality is difficult, the industry is so fiercely competitive, and it is difficult to survive."

easy."

Tao Meng asked with some concern: "Has he started working... I think he should study hard at this stage, and you should persuade him."

Yang Jingxing laughed: "You thought he was studying at Harvard, so he wouldn't have this chance... I didn't tell Tan Dong. In fact, I also thought at that time that I, Yang Jingxing, could surpass you, Shao Lei."

Tao Meng's brows were so tight that she almost rolled her eyes at Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing said: "And I'm more naive than Tan Dong. I haven't given up on this fantasy yet."

Tao Meng smiled briefly and comforted softly: "It's not childish, it's just that I just want to stop doing it."

Yang Jingxing said: "The main reason is that it is relatively easy to make money, so it is easy to dream of getting rich. If not, there is a lottery. Nowadays, there are hundreds of millions of jackpots in the country. I won dozens of times."

Tao Meng looked unwilling to pay attention, although it was a different look.

Yang Jingxing said: "But no one will dream of becoming a mathematician or physicist at this age, unless they are in related majors. Even most of my classmates, at least dare not say that they still want to become famous and famous.

It would be nice to be an excellent practitioner.”

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing and asked, "Why not? Just work hard."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Of course we all work hard, but the conditions are different in all aspects, mainly talent and personality..."

Tao Meng asked: "What about you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I've just started, but I don't have any special surprises, just like you won't be happy that you went to Harvard, because this goal is achieved step by step through hard work, not winning the lottery."

Tao Meng nodded and said, "Yes."

Yang Jingxing suddenly laughed: "But there is one thing. To me, it is like winning the lottery."

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing, he no longer had the temperament of a squad leader, he was considered quiet.

Yang Jingxing took a sip of coffee first.

Tao Meng also accompanied me.

Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Meng: "I don't know if you remember, but after the college entrance examination, we had a phone call. At that time, I had just received the admission notice, and basically nothing had started yet..."

Tao Meng still affirmed: "You have worked very hard since your senior year of high school."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You didn't even get started at that time. It was just like your grandfather's grandfather who was an apprentice when he first came to Puhai when he was a teenager. At that time, he had the ideal of becoming a big capitalist?"

The question was about his distant ancestors, so Tao Meng forgave him and shook his head: "I don't know."

Yang Jingxing said: "At that time, I called to talk about my future plans. You said that you wanted to study abroad and go to the United States. This was a matter of course and inevitable for you. It was not an ideal dream at all..."

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing, not being modest.

Yang Jingxing smiled strangely again: "But I boasted a lot at that time. I said, I hope that one day in the future, I can invite you to Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and you come to watch my performance...

Do you have any impression?"

Tao Meng lowered her eyelids and lowered her head slightly, then nodded and said softly: "I remember...I said it later."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "...For me, the work can be performed here, and what's more important is that I can realize what I've been boasting about. Although I have boasted countless lies, these are of no help, but at least..."

The two of them looked at each other, Yang Jingxing didn't seem to know how to express himself, and Tao Meng didn't seem to be able to make any good suggestions.

After a pause, Yang Jingxing remembered something funny again: "I used to tell Lu Lin and the others how we would do together in the future. Such jokes and promises at that time were really beyond the pale... I thought we could.

It's a rare opportunity to realize such an agreement, so thank you very much for coming, you are the key." Hehe, he took another sip of coffee.

Tao Meng stopped accompanying her, lowered her eyes for a moment in silence, then raised her head, stood up, and took her hands off the table. She returned to her ladylike posture, and her eyes flashed into Yang Jingxing's eyes. After looking at them for two seconds, she said matter-of-factly, "We are more than this."

An agreement."

Yang Jingxing smiled at himself: "That will be in the future..."

Tao Meng said again: "You betrayed me..." The tone was not serious and the volume was not high, but it was clear.

Seeing such serious accusations in his eyes, Yang Jingxing did not dare to smile playfully. He might as well nod his head to admit his mistake and strive for a lighter punishment: "...I'm sorry." He seemed to be reluctant, dodging and whispering.

When their eyes met, Tao Meng's face was quite calm, and it was obvious that he had not exerted any strength yet, but Yang Jingxing only held on for two seconds before he was defeated, and he said hesitantly: "...but I hope that you can forgive me for having extravagant hopes." Damn him.

Mom is shameless.

After continuing to sharpen his skills for two seconds, Tao Meng withdrew his power, lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to forgive me... you should at least have an explanation." He spoke in a business-like tone without emotion.

Yang Jingxing hesitated and said, "Actually, there's nothing to explain, that's it." He was obviously guilty.

Tao Meng didn't say that there was nothing to forgive. Instead, she looked at the person in front of her and asked, "Why don't you say it's not your fault?"

Yang Jingxing had a correct attitude: "It's my fault."

"You lied!" Tao Meng said two words excitedly, and then calmed down for the most part: "That's what you think."

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No, I understand your father very well, and I guess your mother will also support his decision."

Tao Mengjing's emotions fluctuated: "Do you think I should also understand you?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No, I just want you to forgive me."

Going back again, Tao Meng couldn't figure it out: "Why should I forgive you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Of course people who have done wrong want to be forgiven and feel relaxed. If you can forgive me, you can also... the knot in your heart may be gone." It's so fucking shameless.

Tao Meng asked: "In your eyes, it's so simple, what's an agreement, what's an ideal, what... just meet once and say I'm sorry!?" His tone was a bit serious, but his volume was still under control.

Yang Jingxing seemed to be stunned by the question.

Tao Meng stood up and walked away quickly, but not in a hurry.

Yang Jingxing reacted slowly but still hesitated for two seconds, then stood up and took out his wallet while chasing: "Tao Meng..."
To be continued...
