Chapter 10

After blowing out the candles, the three of them took out the gifts they had hidden for a day, and lined up to give them to Zuo Rong.

First is Zhao Yangyang, his gift is a kindle.

"I see that you have so many books on your shelf. It's Fei Shu's fault. I'll use this to read them in the future. Then what, you have to recharge your account yourself!" After speaking, she ran away shyly.

The next one was Lu Renjie, who sent a set of professional brand quick-drying sportswear.

"You go to the gym every now and then, you need to have a set of professional equipment, right, this size should be suitable for you!"

Finally, there is Zhu Qingyan. His gift is a small jewelry box, which makes people unable to guess what it is.Zuo Rong opened it and saw that there was a tie clip inside, the design was very simple, the silver clip was not decorated too much, but the blue diamond of about 2 carats on it almost blinded everyone's eyes.

He was startled, and hurriedly said: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Zhu Qingyan hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is not a diamond, it's just a crystal. Our family is a soldier with a duty, not a gangster, not that rich."

After saying this, Zuo Rong heaved a sigh of relief, and accepted it with confidence.

Zuo Le, who had been watching from the side, also came up, "I promised you a good car when you become an adult. CBR1000 is already in the fleet. I'll go try the car another day."

After speaking, he threw a key over.

The other three suddenly felt that their carefully prepared gifts had failed.

Zuo Rong thanked them one by one.For things like gifts, the price is not important, and it doesn't matter what you give. He has received many expensive gifts since he was a child, so he really doesn't care.

When people are materially rich, they will seek spiritual comfort, so everyone's mind is what he values ​​most.

After the gifts were delivered, it was finally time to cut the cake. Zhao Yangyang couldn't wait to pick up the knife to serve everyone, and cut off the piece decorated with 18 in the middle and gave it to Zuo Rong.

Zuo Rong picked up the fork and forked the golden "1" first, wanting to eat the chocolate decoration first.

After a fork, it didn't go in. The chocolate is a bit hard.

Fork it again, and this time it sinks directly into the cream.

He couldn't help but said: "Sister, this chocolate is too hard, I have to grab it with my hands."

Zuo Le was holding his piece of cake, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to explain something, "Hey, that's not chocolate, it's pure gold, you pick it up and weigh it, calm down. Take it to wash it later, put it away Use it as a decoration in the dormitory."

215 four people: "..."

The cakes are delicious and the Cordon Bleu desserts live up to their reputation.

The sweetness of the cream is lowered, not greasy at all, and the cake is moist and soft, full of dense pores.Instead of the common mango and dragon fruit outside, the wild berry jam made by the chef himself, as well as plump cherries that have been pitted and sliced, are sandwiched in the middle.

Cut a small piece with a fork and put it in your mouth, the rich sweet and sour aroma diffuses, and the milk aroma follows one after another, complementing each other.The airy cream and the sponge-like cake base, together with the fine berry seeds and buttery crisps, enjoy the multi-layered taste as if the teeth have won a battle.

After eating the cake, it was almost nine o'clock. Zuo Le asked the chef to prepare supper for Auntie Cleaning before leaving. After saying "Thanks for your hard work", he led the four younger brothers to the third floor.

There is a large audio-visual room on this floor, where you can play motion-sensing games. She even bought two sets of VR equipment, and the young men immediately got excited.

Zhao Yangyang and Lu Renjie went to occupy the two sets of VR first. Zuo Rong said that he had nothing to play and wanted to go to the recording studio downstairs because he suddenly had an inspiration just now.

Zuo Le and Zhu Qingyan are left, you look at me and I look at you.In the end, Zuo Le decided to play billiards. She was just playing these games for novelty, but she was actually not good at them.

For Zuo Le, who has converted the attic of his home into a billiard hall since he was a child, if he drives the ball by himself, the opponent basically has no chance to touch the stick.So she painted shell powder on the pole and asked Zhu Qingyan: "Little Zhu, how is your billiard game?"

Zhu Qingyan stammered and replied: "No, not really."

This is said, as if he was not the one who swept the entire military camp with a pool cue at the age of 12.

"Okay, then I'll teach you. First put powder on the pole." Zuo Le said and threw the small cube in his hand to him.

He did as he was told.

Zuo Le continued: "To play billiards, you must first have the right posture. Put your left hand on the table, spread your five fingers as far as possible, and grasp the tablecloth tightly. Arch your palm upwards, and stick your thumb against your index finger. Let me help you set it... ..."

The moment her hand came up, Zhu Qingyan's mind went blank for a moment.

At the end of the day, he didn't know how many goals he had scored.I only remember that when Zuo Le taught him how to pose, he touched his left hand, his back, and seemed to kick his calf.

The residual tactile sensation on the back of the hand is so clear that the abnormal heat probably won't go away overnight.

The noise reached 12 o'clock, and the few people who played all day were a little tired, so they allocated a room to sleep.Zuo Rong's room is on the second floor, Zuo Le is on the third floor, and there are two guest rooms on each floor.Zhu Qingyan, who had been in a daze for a day, suddenly seemed to wake up, and asked for the room next to Zuo Le on the third floor, while Zhao Yangyang and Lu Renjie chose the second floor.

Zuo Le went back to his room, put water in the bathtub and lay down, he was indeed too tired today, he needed to take a good rest.

There is a small skylight in the ceiling of her bathroom, directly above the bathtub, where she can lie down and watch the stars while soaking in the bath.

Today, she has seen everything Zhu Qingyan does. Maybe the child doesn't understand what's going on, but she knows it clearly.

It's been three years, and there are not a few people who pursue me, both men and women. Every time I go to a bar, a group of people rush forward to strike up a conversation.

Most of these people came for her appearance and property, some simply wanted to have a fling, and some wanted to be adopted as a minor.

Of course, there are also a small number of young and promising elites who seriously pursue her, but they just want to find a suitable person to marry.

For these people, Zuo Le can deal with them calmly, and never let them take advantage of them.

However, it was the first time for a young man like Zhu Qingyan who hadn't finished puberty, but the more he was like this, the less hope he could have.

The young boy who just fell in love doesn't understand anything, and he likes it as soon as his head is hot, and he doesn't know what responsibility and obligation are.

If it's a 3-minute heat, it's okay to say, but if you're really a horny person, and you can't get out of it, then your own sin will be serious.

With a six-year-old age difference and two generation gaps, she doesn't quite understand what the children of today think.

Probably because of her precocious maturity, plus she has been in the society for several years, her ideal opposite sex has always been a wise and funny young man.Only this kind of person can bring her a sense of security and give her the feeling of being on the ground and relying on her back.

And these are definitely not something an 18-year-old boy can do.

The sweet-scented osmanthus downstairs was in full bloom, and the sweet smell entered the half-opened window with the evening wind, making her think that she had returned to Nanjing.In fact, nothing has changed, she is still the self who is still in college, the self who has Wang Zuo.

"Old Wang, the sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming again. You said you wanted to make sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus seedlings for me, but you never did it once. I pickle sweet-scented osmanthus at this time of year, and throw it away after a long time. I have never eaten it." Zuo Le was lost in thought, muttering softly.

"Do you still remember, the first time we met was around this time, and I vomited on you in the end, which was really shameful. After that, I would think of you whenever I smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus. Of course, I also miss you.

You see, I planted an osmanthus tree in our yard, and all the old ladies nearby wanted to steal the osmanthus.I've seen it several times, but I didn't stop it, and I don't know if you want it or not. "

"The person you fall in love with when the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms will be unforgettable in your life."

"Old Wang, I miss you so much."

…………

When Zuo Rong came out of the recording studio, everyone else had already fallen asleep.Today is very special for him. For the first time in his 18 years of life, he has experienced the meaning of the word "friend".

Once, he always thought that only his family would treat him well without asking for anything in return.But the recent period of eating and living together made him and his roommates quickly get acquainted, and gradually felt a second kind of affection besides family affection.

The lovely Zhao Yangyang, the straightforward Lu Renjie, and the righteous Zhu Qingyan, all three have very good qualities.They are friendly and kind, sincere and sincere, they will not get close because of what they want, nor will they be alienated because of their indifference.

Today, he is even more firm in his thoughts: these three people will be his good friends for life.

The creation of art requires a burst of emotion. The moment the candle was extinguished, he had an inspiration, and hurried to the recording studio for more than two hours to record the melody in his mind.

It will take more time to make it plump up, and he hopes that one day, he can sing this song to these three people.

Zuo Rong got up early the next morning to have breakfast, and found that Zuo Le and Zhu Qingyan, two people with perverted biological clocks, were already sitting in the dining room.

The breakfast prepared by the aunt is very rich, for five people to choose at will.The soft glutinous rice cakes are topped with sweet-scented osmanthus, the rice balls are full of meat floss, the pork pies are fragrant, and the beef pot stickers are golden and crisp.

Zhu Qingyan was eating oatmeal made with skimmed milk, while Zuo Rong had the same taste as Zuo Le, and served a bowl of fish porridge.

The porridge is very thick, the fish fillets are tender and smooth, without a trace of fishy smell, and abalone liver is added in it, which makes the aroma more fragrant and charming.

After a while, Lu Renjie also dragged the sleepy Zhao Yangyang down. Xiao Zhao finished washing in a half-dream and half-awake state, and all the cells in his body were awakened by the Xianghe meatloaf.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and sleep is sidelined.

Lu Renjie looked at his mobile phone while drinking the porridge, "This porridge is really delicious, isn't it made from our Northeast rice? It must be, I can already taste the taste of my hometown!"

Hey, Rong Rong, when did you post it on Moments?Let me see, it was past ten o'clock last night.

You said you posted a photo of Sister Lele on your own birthday, and wrote a happy birthday. Those who didn’t know thought it was Sister Lele’s birthday. "

He didn't mention that Zuo Rong had almost forgotten that he had posted on Moments. He hadn't looked at his phone since he entered the recording studio yesterday, and he was charging it in the bedroom.

However, posting photos of his sister is his habitual style. He doesn't like to take pictures, and he is a fan of showing off his sister, so all the pictures in his circle of friends are probably Zuo Le.

Anyone who doesn't know her will definitely mistakenly think that this is her WeChat account.

Hearing this, Zhu Qingyan silently took out her phone and liked it, then saved the photo of Zuo Le holding the cake and smiling.

After breakfast, Zuo Le sent the four of them back to school.For some reason, Zuo Rong always felt that she was not in a good mood, although she was still talking and laughing, but her eyes were obviously black and blue.

As usual, he sat in the co-pilot, took out his forgotten mobile phone and opened it.

The likes and comments in the circle of friends have shown 99+, and many of them are people he doesn't know or have spoken to.For these people, as long as there is no noise, he will let them lie in the contact list and will not actively delete friends.

Scroll down to the circle of friends, it is a group photo of five people sent by Lu Renjie.

Further down, I unexpectedly turned to the circle of friends of the senior sister. The accompanying picture is "The Birth of Venus", and the text is simply "Happy Birthday".

He felt a little strange, so he clicked into the senior sister's chat interface.

Sure enough, not long after she posted on Moments last night, she sent "Happy Birthday", but she didn't see it, so she quickly replied "Thank you".

Originally, he thought that maybe the senior sister mistakenly thought it was Zuo Le's birthday.But if you think about it carefully, she is talking about herself privately, not commenting.Usually post a circle of friends wishing others a happy birthday, no one will chat privately to congratulate, at most it is a comment.

So the circle of friends is talking about yourself?Is Venus talking about herself?

Zuo Rong was deeply surprised. He looked like a man of seven feet anyway. How could this accompanying picture be "God Created Adam"?

Venus is generally used to describe women. If it must be used on men, then he must be particularly beautiful.Well, just like Kong Feicheng.

Maybe it was because that face was so beautiful, Zuo Rong's first reaction was him.

However, the attitude of the senior sister made him a little puzzled. The two of them basically didn't talk to each other when they became friends.

I can't tell whether she is enthusiastic or indifferent, just so close and far away, and the circle of friends is sometimes interesting and sometimes obscure, which doesn't match her sweet and lovely appearance at all.

From this point of view, this woman's rank is quite high.If he is favored by such a person, he may not be able to escape unscathed.

When he was in class that afternoon, he received a message from Zuo Le, "I'm going to Nanjing, and I'll be back in a few days. I'll pick you up from school on Saturday night."

Sure enough, what he was worried about happened.

Zuo Le goes to Nanjing several times a year, and every time she is in a particularly bad mood.So as soon as Zuo Rong heard her saying that he was going to Nanjing, Zuo Rong murmured in his heart.I don't know what happened this time, someone touched her string again.

After dinner, he felt a little stuffy in his chest, so instead of going back to the dormitory with his roommate, he chose to go to the lake to relax.

The meal was late, and the days began to shorten, and it started to get dark after walking a few steps.

He walked around with his head down, thinking about Zuo Le's affairs in his heart, he stopped for some reason, and suddenly wanted to look up.It seemed that there was something waiting for him in front of him, and if he didn't look up, he would have missed the arrangement of fate.

So he raised his head slightly, and saw that a moon had already hung in the sky, and what was emitting fragrance under the clear brilliance was an osmanthus tree.

This scene is very similar to the photo sent by the senior.

Looking down, there is a person standing next to the tree. His back looks a little thin, and he feels like a teenager who is in adolescence.

Logically speaking, such a body should look vigorous, but when the man turned his head, he showed a coldness. His eyes clearly showed the loneliness that Zuo Rong was extremely familiar with.

Only Kong Feicheng could grow this face.

The two looked at each other, there was no way to avoid it.Zuo Rong had no choice but to go up to say hello, "Assistant Kong, you are also taking a walk here."

Kong Feicheng put away his fleeting gaffe, and put on that mask-like smiling face, "Yes, I need to ask my father for something, so come here for a stroll."

Zuo Rong suddenly remembered something, and asked him, "Is your father Professor Kong from the School of Humanities?"

"Yeah, do you know him too?"

"Well, I took Professor Kong's western literature course, which is very interesting. You and Professor Kong are both excellent scholars."

Kong Feicheng chuckled, "He is indeed an excellent scholar, but I am not. I am just a white-collar worker who hopes to make a lot of money. Learning is too boring for me."

This was beyond Zuo Rong's expectation. In most people's impressions, the children raised by the scholarly family are very good at reading, as if they have been studying endlessly all their lives. Unexpectedly, Kong Feicheng is an exception.

But he is not the only exception, Zuo Le is also.

Her father's family is also a scholarly family, and her ancestors were well-behaved scholars for several generations, but in this generation, a devil king like her came out.

Kong Feicheng stared at Zuo Rong for a while, seeing that he didn't answer, he continued, "You look a lot like someone I know."

Zuo Rong lowered his head slightly and met his eyes, but the man avoided him for some reason.

"Really, I rarely meet people who look like me. Is it your friend?"

"No, it's the one I'm pursuing. She's very beautiful." Kong Feicheng raised one corner of his mouth. If the light wasn't too dark, Zuo Rong would have noticed that his eyes were very cold.

"Is Professor Kong still single? Actually, you are very popular among girls." Zuo Rong said truthfully.

Kong Feicheng was not surprised at all, "You can tell from your face that you must be very popular, so you should be able to understand that feeling.

When you are the moon and are pursued by many stars, you can't see their light at all.The only thing that can catch your attention is the sun. "

Although saying this kind of belittled the female students, Zuo Rong admitted that he was right.

The vast sea of ​​people is like the vast stars, you must shine bright enough to attract the attention of others.For so many years, only Zuo Le is qualified to play the role of the sun, making him want to become better, and one day he can also become someone else's sun.

The two exchanged a few more words of greeting and then left. On the way back to the dormitory, he was surprised to find that this seemed to be the first time he had talked so much with a stranger all at once.It's just a relationship that I've met a few times, but I can talk for so long without feeling uncomfortable. This is really unprecedented.

"Am I also an appearance association?" He couldn't help muttering in his heart, thinking about Kong Feicheng, and then thinking about Zuo Le...

Well, it seems to be true.

Whether you want it or not, judging people by their appearance is not good, and it has to be changed.

The author has something to say: Yes, you are.
