In front of the Normal University, a burgundy car parked on the roadside. Next to the car, a man with a straight body and sharp edges was waving.
Qiao Simei, who was playing with her classmates and walking out of the school side by side, heard someone calling her, looked for recognition, then put on a smile, waved to the man, and saw it herself.
He turned to look at the classmates beside him and said, "Bye, I'm leaving first."
"I've come to pick you up again, and I said I'm not the right person. How many times have you been so diligent and honest?" A female classmate held Qiao Simei on each side, not letting her go, and asked playfully.
Qiao Simei struggled playfully with her classmates and begged for mercy, "We are just ordinary friends. If he comes along, I will give him a ride."
"On your way~" One of the female classmates said meaningfully and playfully, "You are all going home, so why don't you drop by to see us off."
"Okay, you are Simei's classmates, that is, my friends. I am very happy to help you."
Before Simei could say anything, the man who had just waved came over and happened to hear the play among the girls, and said with a modest smile.
"One of their families is in the south, and the other is in the north..." Simei wanted to remind her of the long distance, but mid-sentence, her classmates stopped her, "Well..."
"Okay, if you want to pursue our four beauties, you have to pass our level first.
You know, the pursuers of our four beauties can go around Jinling, so you have to behave well.
Now I'll give you a chance to show off, drive us home." A female classmate looked at the man with a smile and said, the man looked quite handsome and very graceful.
"Simei and I are just friends," the man looked at Simei, briefly explained to her classmates, and then added, "But I am happy to give the beautiful ladies a ride."
"You're really good at talking." A female classmate let go of Simei.
"Bah, bah, bah~" Simei stuck out her tongue, "It's so salty, Miaomiao, have you washed your hands? Just cover my mouth."
"Then let's get in the car first.
By the way, I don’t know what your name is yet, so I am Wu Miaomiao and her name is Ding Manqi. We are both Simei’s best friends.” Wu Miaomiao, a lively, cheerful and somewhat carefree person, introduced herself.
"My name is Qi Chenggang."
"Oh, Qi Chenggang, nice to meet you."
Wu Miaomiao and Ding Manqi blinked at Simei, then walked hand in hand to the burgundy car on the roadside.
"Oh, you guys really want to sit down." Seeing that her friend really wanted to take a ride, Simei shouted.
"Xiaoqi and I went to Longxing Shopping Mall. We had a great time. I won't be a light bulb for too long. Don't worry.
Of course, unless your destination is not Shamao Lane." With a teasing tone, Wu Miaomiao and Ding Manqi opened the door and got in the car.
Longxing Mall, I happened to be on my way home, and I really stopped by. Simei shrugged helplessly, and then looked at Qi Chenggang, "Didn't you tell me not to pick me up? If there are no classes, you will be gone."
Qi Chenggang smiled slightly, showing a very soft smile, and said naturally, "I just sent a guest to the area, so I drove here to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you."
Of course, no one believed this nonsense, but it sounded pleasant to the ears. Simei smiled and said, "Don't delay your work."
"No, today's day shift will be handed over soon, so there is no shortage of time."
Qi Chenggang, currently a taxi driver, runs this taxi together with his friends, doing the work of picking up and dropping off passengers. His monthly salary is quite high, which is much higher than that of many workers.
"I'm sorry, Miaomiao and the others misunderstood, don't mind." Simei explained with a smile.
"It's okay." Qi Chenggang has a good sense of proportion and always behaves very gracefully, making people feel good at first sight.
"How long do you want to chat? Why don't you whisper and wait until we are sent to Longxing Shopping Mall?" Wu Miaomiao stuck her little head out of the window and shouted.
Simei and Qi Chenggang looked at each other, smiled and got in the car.
The burgundy car drove into the distance.
At Longxing Shopping Mall, Wu Miaomiao and Ding Manqi got out of the car. Wu Miaomiao bent down and looked down at Qiao Simei, the co-pilot, "The light bulb is ready to go."
Simei stretched out her hand and knocked her on the forehead hard, "I'm telling you to talk nonsense.
Bye-Bye."
"Goodbye, Qiao Simei, who values sex over friends."
Qi Chenggang smiled politely at Wu Miaomiao and drove away.
"Your classmate is really interesting." Qi Chenggang said with a smile.
"Crazy, crazier than me.
I thought I was noisy enough, but when I got to college, I made a friend who was even more noisy." Thinking of her good friend Wu Miaomiao, Simei couldn't help but feel happy.
"By the way, our class is having a class reunion next Monday. The monitor organized it to let our classmates in Jinling get in touch with each other. Are you going?" Qi Chenggang seemed to have thought of something and turned to follow Qiao Simei, who was looking at the scenery on the roadside.
said.
"classmate reunion?
What about the junior high school class? Wang Dazhi, the squad leader?" Simei recalled.
"Well, I heard that the head teacher, Teacher Wang, is also going back.
Now Wang Dazhi is very good. He opened a factory at a young age and has about thirty people under him." Qi Chenggang chatted casually.
"Well, I heard Hui Ling talk about him. He said he opened a clothing factory and married the monitor of our class."
"Yes, yes, I feel like this will be his solo performance." Qi Chenggang joked.
"How many people went there?
Monday? I seem to be free in the morning, but I am a bit late." Qiao Simei said.
"I heard that most of my junior high school classmates have gone back. After all, many classmates haven't moved, so it's still easy to find them."
Simei smoothed her long, silky hair. Qi Chenggang looked carefully sideways at the side. Seeing Qiao Simei looking at him, he quickly looked away and looked ahead.
"Forget it, you didn't notify me and I won't go because I have classes." Qiao Simei shook her head, "Except for Huiling and Xiaoyun, I haven't seen the other classmates for a long time."
"Well, he went to see me, but I'm on day shift on Monday, so I can't go. It's a pity.
I still want to catch up with my old classmates. I haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I don’t know if we can get to know each other again.” There was a slight disappointment in his tone, as if he was regretting not being able to go to the class reunion, but if he saw this
For a moment, Qi Chenggang's eyes could be seen lifting up unconsciously.
On the way, Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang had a casual chat. Qiao Simei talked about interesting things that happened at school. During the basketball game organized on Thursday, Qi Chenggang used a humorous tone to talk about the strange guests he had met in the past few days.
It can be seen that Qiao Simei has a good impression of Qi Chenggang. They are friends, more than just friends. Sometimes she will look at Qi Chenggang's face and smile.
Qi Chenggang was considerate, considerate, not frivolous, and measured towards Qiao Simei.
Judging from the surface, the two are very good friends, or they may be boyfriend and girlfriend just one step away.
When we arrived at our destination, the car stopped in the middle of the alley.
"Bye." Qiao Simei opened the door and got out of the car, waved to Qi Chenggang, and then put the money she had quietly prepared on the passenger seat.
"Simei, I really don't need it." Qi Chenggang said helplessly, but he didn't stop him because he knew he couldn't. This was not the first time he had given Qiao Simei a gift.
"Hehe, there's no way you can take a bus without paying."
"But it will make me embarrassed if you do this. It's just a side trip, and we are old classmates again."
"But my eldest brother taught me that I have to pay for the ride, otherwise he will be angry.
Let's go, bye."
Qiao Simei waved to Qi Chenggang playfully, then turned around and left with Qi Chenggang's modest smile.
Qi Chenggang watched Simei walk away, got in the car, picked up the money from the passenger car, then put the money gently on the tip of his nose, took a deep breath, and looked very intoxicated.
"Qiao Simei." Qi Chenggang closed his eyes and muttered to himself in the car.
He remembered that the first time he met Qiao Simei was in the summer of 1990, when he came back from the army to visit relatives. At that time, Qiao Simei was young and beautiful.
It was two months ago when we met. He had come back from the army a long time ago. He didn't want to remember how he came back from the army. It was an accident that he met Simei again.
It was raining heavily that day, and Qiao Simei was anxiously taking a taxi on the roadside. They met by chance.
Qiao Simei recognized him at a glance and called him by name. She seemed to be very interested in him and asked questions.
He was also very happy to meet his classmates, and the two chatted casually.
The car drove all the way to the entrance of Jinling Normal University, and he realized that Qiao Simei had been admitted to the university and was very good.
Because of the heavy rain, Qiao Simei was wearing a relatively thin summer dress, which made her feel a bit like a drowned rat. When she got out of the car, he took off his coat and gave it to the other party.
Qiao Simei also remembered his pager number and returned his clothes to him two days later. After that, Qiao Simei called him whenever she needed a car.
Slowly, the relationship between the two seemed to be getting closer. He found that Qiao Simei was very beautiful. Her college student temperament, beautiful appearance, and quirky personality all attracted him, and he dreamed of her in his sleep.
He would intentionally appear at the school gate when Qiao Simei went home every weekend. Sometimes he would meet her, sometimes not.
"Then who is driving?"
Turning the corner, Qiao Simei was suddenly asked a question, and when she looked around, she saw it was Sanli.
Angrily, "I'm scared, how come you are so mysterious and invisible."
"It's just because you're distracted.
Are you in love?" Sanli asked.
"No, that's just a classmate, a junior high school classmate, an ordinary friend." Simei said somewhat covertly.
"I've seen this car pick you up many times, and you're still just a friend.
Do I look easy to deceive?" Sanli looked unbelieving.
"We are really ordinary friends. It's just that I need a car, and he happens to be a taxi driver. He earns money for everyone, just his classmates." Qiao Simei put her arm around Sanli's neighbor, and the two of them walked home.
"Taxi driver? How are you? I took you home for a ride that day." Sanli still didn't believe it.
Sanli didn't think it was a big deal about the taxi driver. Although Simei was a college student, their family had never thought about it in this regard.
"Sister, it's really nothing, we're just friends that we can talk to.
Well, he is a very good-looking friend who talks very interestingly." Simei said.
"Okay, you have some sense of yourself." Sanli didn't ask any more questions.
"I see.
By the way, sister, how are you and brother Qingyuan doing?"
"I don't know if eldest brother is back," Sanli said.
"Sister, don't change the subject."
The two girls reached the door hand in hand. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the sound of playing mahjong from home.
The two looked at each other.
"Sister, did you hear the mahjong sound?" Simei asked.
Sanli was surprised, how could there be mahjong sounds at home.
When I opened the door, the sound of mahjong playing became even louder.
The two of them pushed open the door of the main room and walked in. Before they could speak, they were choked by the smoke.
"Ahem, dad, how many cigarettes have you smoked?" Simei said, covering her nose and mouth.
"I came back just in time. There is no water. Let me boil a pot of water for your uncles and uncles." Qiao Zuwang's face was greasy and he had a cigarette hanging sideways in his mouth. He didn't even raise his eyes, all his eyes were on mahjong.
In the main room, filled with smoke, four middle-aged men were playing mahjong, each holding a cigarette. There were melon seeds, fruit cores and other things scattered randomly on the ground.
It's a mess anyway.
"Dad, how many days has it been since eldest brother came back?" Sanli asked.
"Why are you asking this? Hurry up and boil some water. I'm so thirsty. Remember to make tea." Qiao Zuwang seemed to have a good poker game and didn't have time to talk to Sanli and Simei.
Simei stamped her feet, this old father, she was powerless.
And Sanli looked at her watch, "Dad, it's Friday today. Look at the time, brother should be back soon."
The excited Qiao Zuwang was stunned.
"Old Qiao, hurry up, it's your turn." Someone shouted.
Qiao Zu pushed mahjong fiercely, causing a mess on the table. "I won't play anymore. I've been playing for a day. Let's go home and have dinner."
"No, Old Qiao."
"My card.
Soon, Mayu was all driven away, and Qiao Zuwang hurriedly called the nanny from next door who was picking vegetables.
"Mother Zheng, please clean the main room quickly."
"Okay, old man."
Zheng Ma, the nanny of the Xinqing family, is forty years old. She is quick with her hands and feet and is a good person.
As for Ma Suqin, Qian Wen stopped letting her do it six months ago. After all, she is a woman close to him. How can she continue to be a nanny? Even if she is very leisurely, it is not a long-term solution.
Qian Wen opened a clothing store for her, a cheongsam specialty store. She is a living brand, and the business is really good.
Soon, the main room was spotless, but there was still a strong smell of smoke.
Qiao Zuwang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat. He was almost going to GG.
Sanli shook her head, only her eldest brother could scare her father.
Qiao Zuwang was drinking the tea Zheng Ma had just made with peace of mind. Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Simei who came out of Qiqi's room.
"By the way, a classmate of yours came to see you. It seems to be a junior high school classmate. He said he wanted to have a class reunion at the Yilan Hotel."
"Oh, I got it."
It turned out that she had been notified, but she was at school.
In the evening, Qian Wen came back. While eating, he sniffed the air and saw Qiao Zu looked nervous, with sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have a cold?" Feeling that Qiao Zuwang was acting strangely, Qian Wen looked at him and asked.
"Um, it's okay, it's just a little hot. Yes, it's very hot today." Qiao Zu looked at his free left hand and fanned himself.
Sanli and Simei snickered.
Qiqi glanced at her old father. He didn't even bother to complain. If he really showed it to him, he wouldn't be able to finish it all day long.
on Monday.
campus.
Simei, who was holding her book and preparing to go to class, was a little distracted.
"Simei, what's wrong with you?" Wu Miaomiao asked.
"Miao Miao, if your name is called later, remember to cover for me.
I have to leave first." Simei thrust the book in her arms into Wu Miaomiao's hand, turned around and ran away.
"No...it's okay to use cover, but tell me what you're going to do.
I'm such a curious person, do you want to stifle me to death?" Wu Miaomiao shouted looking at Simei who had run away.
But Simei just waved her hand.
Ylang Hotel.
Ruyi Hall.
There were many people inside, cheering around a man and a woman.
"Kiss one, kiss one."
"What are you afraid of? We are an old married couple, how about I come."
The crowd cheered and laughed, it was very lively.
Qi Chenggang and a girl hugged each other very intimately, as if they were playing some kind of game to liven up the atmosphere.
The woman was shy, so Qi Chenggang smiled generously, then embraced the woman, lowered his head and kissed her, very affectionately.
At this time, the door of the box opened from the outside.
Qiao Simei came in a hurry.
As soon as I came in, I saw this scene.
Qi Chenggang, whom she had a crush on, kissed a girl in public.
She also knew that girl, she was also her classmate.
