Chapter 3 CHAPTER 02
"Then what happened afterwards? Didn't your bow to Gu Li cause her to whip out her fangs and suck the blood from your neck?" Gu Zhun looked at Tang Wanru, his dark eyebrows furrowed like a twitch. The NIKE logo brought a sense of joy to his handsome face, with a serious and funny expression.
"Of course not, Gu Li is my good sister." Tang Wanru moved her chair towards Gu Zhun obsessively, "Let me tell you, handsome guy, the scene was really spectacular, the boiling soup The water just flowed down from your sister's cleavage like that, your sister's complexion didn't change a bit, no matter how powerful the world is and the situation changes, she will not move."
Nan Xiang and I were frowning. We understood that Gu Li didn't move at that time because to Gu Li, that scene was like a high-performance computer suddenly encountering a difficult operation that exceeded its program logic. It just: crashed.
I closed my eyes, the hot sun shone on my eyelids, and the retina was hot red, like magma.
That night, the four of us huddled together in the high-end bathroom of Hyatt on the Bund, and had a pleasant shower. There was a shower head in the toilet for guests who had finished soaking in the open-air swimming pool, and the water was filtered through a triple water purification system. It's OK if you really pick it up and drink a few sips.Of course, Gu Li was not happy. The expression on her face when she flushed her chest with the shower head was like a Japanese samurai preparing to cut her belly with a samurai sword.
Compared to Gu Li, Tang Wanru was much more chic. She untied the bun on her head that was fixed with numerous clips and hairspray, and then vigorously shook her beautiful hair away. She loved doing this since she was a child. Action, every time I imagined that I was a model in a shampoo advertisement on TV, with moving lights hitting her hair, and a slow-motion high-speed camera capturing her perfect moment, but in fact, whenever she When she closed her eyes and flicked her hair from side to side, her expression looked like an aunt who went shopping for groceries and suddenly heard Lady Gaga dance. Of course, with Gu Li on her head "Dinner", with the light dance of her hair, the heavenly girl scattered flowers.
After we finished tossing in the bathroom, it was already very late. When the four of us came out wrapped in the bathrobes provided by the hotel, the guests outside all left the venue one after another. I think everyone should be very satisfied. After all, "A woman pointed Shouting and falling into the cake" Such a dramatic scene is not often seen.
The four of us sat by the open-air circular swimming pool, and the building was empty, only two waiters in white shirts and black vests were cleaning up more than 100 wine glasses and all kinds of messy cups and plates on the scene.I didn't speak, I couldn't even focus my sight, the alcohol in my brain hadn't evaporated, the world was spinning, my consciousness was blurred and anxious, as if there were a pair of fiery pliers tightly clamped on both sides of my forehead, my The hands kept rubbing my temples vigorously.
On the empty terrace, at the highest place by the river on the Bund in Shanghai, there are only four of us left, surrounded by silence and darkness, this feeling is really great.I raised my head and looked at Nan Xiang who was flushed across the face, two lines of tears rolled down the ground.From the top of her head, the night sky in Shanghai is full of brilliant stars.But my chaotic brain can no longer tell which are twinkling planetesimals and which are Lujiazui aviation signal lights.
That night, while we were drinking, we asked the hotel staff for swimsuits in the early hours of the morning, and then the four of us jumped into the pool like four white dumplings, tumbling in the water .Because everyone drank too much, everyone laughed wildly and wrestled together. Many times I couldn't tell who was Gu Li and who was Tang Wanru (...).In this way, we spent the last two hours of Gu Li's scheduled time slot.
In addition to my crying that night, I felt that the three of them were also crying.Nan Xiang's tearful eyes are more beautiful than the brightest aviation signal lights above his head, not to mention the starlight filtered by the polluted atmosphere above his head.It breaks my heart to see it.As for Gu Li, although she repeatedly emphasized that her red eyes were because she couldn't stand the disinfectant in the pool while wearing contact lenses, I believe she must have cried too.Because I know her best, she has a mouth made of a knife -- of course, she also has a heart of stainless steel.
Needless to say, Tang Wanru, blind people know that she is crying. She opened her mouth and wailed non-stop. Because she opened her mouth too much, she drank the water in the swimming pool while crying. She cried for so long that the water in the pool The water line dropped a lot, and I yelled at her while crying with the strength of drinking: "You drink less! You drink less, there is no water in the pool, and my cleavage is exposed to the air Hearing my words, Gu Li rolled his eyes as big as a ping-pong ball: "Lin Xiao, don't be shameless, cleavage? What cleavage? Where did you get your cleavage from? Do you know where your cleavage is?"
After listening to Gu Li's questioning, I really couldn't answer. I turned to Nan Xiang drunkenly, "Nan Xiang, where do you say the cleavage is? How should I describe the location, below the throat? Or above the belly button?" ah?"
Just as Nan Xiang was about to answer, Tang Wanru told me impatiently, "Between the boobs!"
Gu Li suddenly sank into the water, it seemed that he couldn't bear the stimulation and committed suicide.
Why do you cry?
Later, I kept reminiscing about that night, and then kept asking myself.
If God really exists, if he was still awake in the early morning, if he was not drunk like us at that time, then he is high in the sky, looking down soberly on the highest terrace by the Huangpu River. When he was four girls, he looked at their tears and listened to their ordinary and faint heartbeat, what would he think?
I think it may be because the scenery at that moment is so beautiful - the dark sky is dotted with big diamond-like stars, and the concrete forest composed of countless skyscrapers in Lujiazui opposite is completely dark, only sporadic lights are still on because of overtime work The windows of the skyscrapers, the red navigation lights flashing randomly on the top of the skyscrapers, like countless sparks still blown by the wind in the burned black forest.All of these make Lujiazui look like a diamond necklace that God took off from his neck and placed by the river.
I think it may also be because we have accumulated too many emotions, and the high dam we built in our hearts finally collapsed under the impact of alcohol.
At this time four years ago, Nan Xiang was still immersed in the thick and pungent picture book world and love novels in the library. She was still a literary young woman who didn't like makeup. Her oil paintings won awards every year. She The slender legs like a deer have attracted countless rock youths from art colleges and physics monsters from engineering colleges to fall madly in love with her;
At that time, Tang Wanru was still a cute and shy muscular bullfrog. She liked to wear a huge pink bow on her chest and run happily on the playground. It looked like she had two pieces of Nu Bra on her chest.She is obsessed with Wei Hai. She even took out the spirit of doing chemical experiments in high school back then, and built a small kitchen on the balcony of the dormitory. Using all kinds of unimaginable equipment and raw materials, she made box after box by herself. love bento;
Although Gu Li four years ago was already a hooligan who carried bank cards and calculators around all day long, she didn't have a broad vision at that time. She didn't know that Shanghai would be popular two years later. The thing is called "the afternoon tea that Hong Kong socialites in the Peninsula Hotel on the Bund have always regarded as a legend". At that time, she was still satisfied with the 68 yuan breakfast at the school. It's fine for the little bastards to compare, but her vision at that time was actually locked in the high walls around the school;
The me four years ago, who came from an ordinary family, also lived completely in a greenhouse built of glass houses. I was a delicate rose, and the wind and snow outside could not blow me, and my hands were dirty. Can't catch me, the gentle prince reads love poems to me every day, but I still stab him with my thorns from time to time, looking at his painful and handsome face, I become more arrogant and contrived, more excited and fanatical, tormenting Jian Xi For me, it is the most useful aphrodisiac.As Lin Meigui, someone watered me when I was thirsty, and turned on the heater when I was cold. Occasionally, when a leaf fell, I exclaimed, "Autumn is already here, can winter be far behind?"
And in a blink of an eye, I was uprooted and stuck in the Taklamakan Desert. Shameless sandstorms caressed my tender petals wildly, as if a wretched man was ravaging a crying girl with a lewd smile. The tall and strong cactus covered with thorns, all wearing high heels, competed with me for the only nutrients and water.
So in this state—what state?It’s the working state of holding a stopwatch every day to complete one impossible task after another—the four of us rarely get together, needless to say talking heart-to-heart all night and all night, needless to say cats in the same room In the bedroom, curled up on the same big bed to watch concert DVDs (three years later, even DVDs are no longer popular, and Blu-rays are flying all over the world), we even drink an afternoon tea together, or even simply have a lunch together. Became a luxury.
Countless daytimes, I can see Gu Li in the office constantly calling and sending and receiving emails. Her face is expressionless, but the shimmering light in her eyes looks like a wet exhaustion, like The masonry ground of the People's Square after the rain.I also witnessed her throwing up in the bathroom in the middle of the meeting because she wrote the plan all night before and then went to the meeting early the next morning. I followed her to the bathroom and helped her lift her KENZO in the bathroom Silk scarf, she came back after vomiting and continued to discuss various proposals without changing her face. I quietly poured a pack of high-performance nutrient powder rationed by Gong Ming's nutritionist into her coffee.
As for Nanxiang, he submitted one resume after another and went to interviews one after another.Sometimes when I get up to go to the toilet at night, I can still see her sitting in front of the computer and browsing the recruitment website. The coffee cup in her hand has long since stopped steaming, and it looks like a cup of bitter and cold traditional Chinese medicine.
In this kind of life, our student days, when we talked about everything, poured out our hearts and souls, acted as each other's close-fitting padded jackets, and acted as each other's intimate big sisters, disappeared bit by bit.
I miss that era.
I really miss that era!
That era was covered with a layer of soft dust, touching our unwrinkled faces like warm silk, and tears could flow into the neckline along the young and smooth corners of the eyes, instead of putting eye shadow and mascara on like now, It washed into an unsightly jet-black pile on the bags under the eyes.
In the college days when we lived in a mixed dormitory, every Saturday afternoon at 03:30 when we stayed in school together, we would turn on the radio and listen to a nostalgic golden song column on the radio. That column always played the theme of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" repeatedly The song "Dream Chaser", whenever Feng Feifei sang "Look at me", the few of us would sing together and look at each other, stretching out our hands artificially, imitating the figure of the heroine on TV.
It was also that night, in the tumbling warm pool water and the advanced LED cold light under the water, I suddenly understood what the adults said before, what is life: life is force majeure, it is the only one in the contract, It is also the overlord clause that no one can change that will always exist.
So under such a romantic and eternal starry sky, in the Qionglou Yuyu high above the river, we cried and laughed, and said a lot of things. I was drunk, and I didn’t remember most of them, but I I finally understand that Tang Wanru is still Tang Wanru, she will always be the Ruru in our hearts──yes, that pet.She told us about Nanxiang's mother's drug use. She called the police. She was completely frightened at that time. She had gone to Nanxiang's house to argue with Nanxiang. In the end, she pushed her away with a murderous look on her face. At the door of Nanxiang's house, there was a heroic scene of Nanxiang's mother stabbing her arm with a needle. She was completely out of the idea of protecting Nanxiang at that time, and she was educated since she was a child. ".Unlike me, I have been successfully brainwashed into the thinking mode of "if something goes wrong, find Gu Li".It's just that this move, under the low pressure of "Nanxiang Wei Haitang Wanru's love-hate relationship" at that time, would definitely be misinterpreted.In fact, if I think about it carefully, if it were me and I knew that Nanxiang was involved in drug-related matters, I might also call the police.I can't just watch her go to hell, let alone I'm not Gu Li, I can make a few phone calls or even send a few text messages to solve the matter.
When it came to Wei Hai, Tang Wanru was very bold, and waved his hands: "It's okay, of course I can understand! If I were him, I also like you. You are so beautiful, you can draw, and you have big breasts." Fat buttocks, I'm very calm to lose to you!" Tang Wanru guessed that she had read some books during this period and knew how to use the words "big breasts and fat buttocks". When she first started her freshman year, she used to describe our department A girl with big breasts is not so elegant: "Damn, look at that girl, her tits are like Turpan!" I couldn't understand at the time, and I asked her, "Isn't Turpan a basin? It's sunken in!" Tang Wanru was very special. Calmly: "Yes, Turpan is the hole that the woman made after she fell."
At this moment, Tang Wanru leaned her head on Nan Xiang's shoulder, tilted her head to look at Gu Li and added in time: "If I lose to Gu Li, I can't figure it out. Who wants to fall in love with an abacus!"
I was awakened from my memory by a burst of loud applause. Under the golden sun in front of my eyes, Gu Zhun and Neil couldn't help applauding Tang Wanru after hearing Tang Wanru's heroic deeds.Tang Wanru looked at the two sexy beauties in front of her smiling and applauding at her with charming eyes. She couldn't help shortness of breath, and raised her hand to gently hold her chest. She didn't know whether she was excited or wanted to vomit, it was hard to tell.
The sound of the ancient clock on Nanjing West Road could be heard in the air, and it was eight o'clock.
Several of us also finished our morning meeting, moved the chairs under the eaves and put them away, and went back to the room to prepare the things we needed for work.
Nan Xiang and I dragged our chairs and walked home. As we walked, I asked her, "Are you still going for an interview today?"
Nan Xiang nodded: "Yes, I found a job in a gallery, but it's just a junior assistant. Give it a try."
I nodded and extended my hand to welcome: "Join the club. Welcome to the assistant club."
Nan Xiang took a sip of coffee, and seemed to mention it casually, not serious: "I heard that this gallery is also related to your "ME" group. It seems that you have a lot of shares in it. I invested in it before. I seem to have seen it in my resume."
I froze, not knowing what expression to make.
And Nan Xiang had already followed Gu Li into the room, and she didn't even give me a look or a look except for leaving me a back view.She didn't seem to know that she said something that made people's shoulders tense-even though it seemed to be an understatement, like a goose feather.
For college students, this sentence is the same as "Want to drink coffee later? I just heard a gossip about Liu Xuefeng, don't mention how disgusting she is."
But for us, who have been at the base of the social pyramid for two years, it sounds like, "Can you help me?"
It’s like this every morning. As soon as it’s time to go to work, the few of us started to disperse from the house unshakably, and ran to the building of "ME", like a group of happy little animals, chirping and jumping hand in hand Then he ran out of the forest and ran to the embrace of the slaughterhouse.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be something similar to a mysterious factor in our life. If you put it literaryly, it is fate, and if you put it a little disgustingly, it is the fetters of the previous life. But if you want to talk about human beings, it is probably The sins of the previous life!Over the past twenty years, it seems that there are always various things that make our group of people separate, reunite, parting, and reunion.We have spent junior high, high school, and college hand in hand with each other... But God seems to think that it is not enough, we have to spend a longer life together.Maybe God, the old man is discovering more and more that our group of people are very talented dramatic performers, and we can live an extraordinary life, which is better than Hollywood disaster blockbusters──Who doesn’t like to watch intrigue, handsome men and beautiful women, What about gossip-filled TV series?
So, how low is the probability that so many of us have entered the same company one after another.From the moment I went to interview for "ME" three years ago, God seemed to start an unstoppable chain of gears, click and click. Until today, Gu Li has become the director of the advertising department of our company, and Gu Yuan has become the director of our company. Neil joined the legal department lightly. Gu Zhun holds so many shares in our company. It’s just like playing for a job. It’s more convenient than going to McDonald’s to buy a cone.And now, there is another Pandora's box——Nanxiang. I vaguely feel that there is an unusually weird food chain behind it, but I can't really see it, and I can't figure it out.I just know very well that this is not over yet.
──What's the matter?Oh, of course it is our life.
I stopped thinking about it, raised my hand and threw the finished Starbucks cup into the trash can at the door. When I looked up, I just ran into Gu Yuan who was wearing a tight black suit and was about to go out. He lowered his head and met my gaze. For a moment, I felt like a basin of cold water mixed with ice was poured from the top of my head.
Yes, since Jian Xi left, he has always looked at me like this, mixed with contempt and indifference.Every time I see Gu Yuan, he always reminds me with such eyes, letting me know what a bad bitch I was.This was his silent and cold punishment.Like Gu Li, he knows how to torture people to the greatest extent with the least effort.
Even though nearly half a year has passed, that morning in the summer of 2009, the morning when Jian Xi broke up with me, still stubbornly survived in his hard and sharp pupils, still alive as if stored in a constant temperature of zero. Just like the original embryo in the experimental freezer, with just a slight stimulus, it can multiply and divide quickly, and grow into a bloody monster that I can't avoid and can only look directly at.
I can actually understand Gu Yuan's hatred for me. To be honest, if I change my chair today and Gu Yuan abandons Gu Li because of a woman, I think I should behave better than the current Gu Yuan. This comes from a woman's natural talent for drama.I don't think I'll just humiliate each other with a calm gaze. There are so many things we lunatics can do. No matter how ungrateful or not, we just want to work together.
Gu Li is right, men and women are fundamentally hostile.God has been merciful in not putting us at the top and bottom of the food chain.
Just like what Jian Xi said before, if Gu Li killed someone, it must be the bullets I helped her gun; Gu Li also said, if Gu Yuan raped Tang Wanru, it must be the pants that Jian Xi helped take off. ──Or Tang Wanru took it off by herself.
In this matter, I think the most difficult person is Gu Li. She stands between me and Gu Yuan, and she is not a human being.Especially when there were only the three of us in the living room, the scene was so embarrassing, no matter it was an hour or a whole night, Gu Yuan could not say a word to me, even in the middle of his conversation with Gu Li, If Gu Li said something to me, he could never answer another word.I understand Gu Yuan, and I don't even blame him at all.I understand Gu Li better, and I thank her.
The only thing I can't understand is myself.
In order to make up for the troubles I caused to Gu Li—and I also depended on others—I used my whole month’s salary to buy Gu Li a pair of GUESS high-heeled shoes (Of course my mother can’t afford CHANEL or Dior, I just caused Gu Li I didn’t kill her niece or dirty her PRADA camel hair coat), when I gave the gift to Gu Li, she looked me up and down, and took the box carefully, with precise and smooth movements , Like a bomb disposal expert, she took a deep breath, and then asked me mercifully, "Tell me, what do you want from me?" With a groan, I stretched out my claws and grabbed her neck.The "Auld Lang Syne" I was brewing with all my heart was ruined by this "Gu Demot".
After I roared and made my intentions clear, Gu Li felt very guilty. She reviewed her inhumanity and thanked me from the bottom of her heart. Finally, she held my hand and said, "Lin Xiao, but as you Good friend of mine, I have to be honest, I hardly ever wear flats, so…”
I looked at the pair of 6cm high-heeled shoes in the box, and compared them with the pair of 14cm compass-like stilettos on Gu Li's feet, and I gave up.I held my forehead, trying to make a last resort, and said, "This shoe is at least 6cm long. If it's not high heels, then what are the sneakers we usually wear?"
Gu Li stroked me shyly: "Honey, what should I say? When I was in "ME", I always felt that you often came to work wearing socks."
I:"……"
Gu Li looked at me with her "mei ren xing" face, and played with my two strands of hair with her fingers, circling around, her gaze was very dusty, like a chicken that has been out of Shanghai, she suddenly rolled her eyes : "Ah! Why didn't I remember? I can give it to Lucy! That way I won't feel guilty every time because her legs are too short, and it feels like she's kneeling to serve me!"
Me: "...you hurry up!"
After a group of us quickly transformed ourselves from pajamas and shorts into professional geeks wrapped in black suits and black skirts in the state of Sonic Boys, we filed out of the house and quickly dispersed like a group of The man in black going to the funeral.However, our destination is the same, but the way of leaving is different.Different methods divide us into different levels of people in an instant.I was at the bottom and trotted to the subway station in high heels to squeeze the subway. Gu Zhun followed, he walked to the gate of the community, reached out to hail a taxi, and disappeared on the bustling West Nanjing Road.And Neil, the little brat, drove his own single-door sports car, chugged, and jumped out of the community like a mouse.As for Gu Yuan and Gu Li, they walked to the entrance of the community and got into the black Mercedes-Benz 350 and BMW 730 respectively, and the two drivers who were standing beside the car opened the door at the same time.To be honest, the carbon emissions are set up by them in this way. It is obvious that they are going to work in the same company, and they have to take two cars.
I have humiliated Gu Li for this before, and I said: "Is it necessary, a car can solve the problem, look at the airs at the two ends of you, who is it for? I want to be shortlisted for the 'Huabiao Award' ?”
"It's called professionalism, okay? Sister, it's immoral to fall in love with senior executives in the company, and it's still in the advertising and finance departments. To put it bluntly, he and I can quickly form a relationship by using our brains and flirting with each other." Industrial chain, you plow the fields and let me weave cloth, how can I do that! I still have the most basic traditional virtues of the Chinese nation!" Gu Li wore her Dior sunglasses, she didn't bother to look at me at all, she looked at another man in the air. Xiang Xiang said, but she was completely unaware that this made her look blind.
So I prodded her viciously: "Gu Li, Gu Li, I'm here, look over here, to your left."
The two passers-by couldn't help turning their heads to look at Gu Li.
I couldn't help laughing smugly, Gu Li shrugged his shoulders at passers-by, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "...I don't know this woman, it's scary, and I don't know what's wrong with her, maybe there's something wrong here." While talking, she raised her finger, and when she said the word "here", she vigorously circled and gestured on her temple.
I:"……"
This is the beginning of our everyday life now.
Although it is completely different from the university, at least the most gratifying point is that the few of us are still together.I can hear all kinds of Gu Li's new, vitriolic and outrageous swearing books every day, and I can also watch Nan Xiang's amazingly beautiful face next to me to set off my sallow face... What else are you planning?
And every morning after we go to work, Tang Wanru is the only one left in the empty two-story villa. In those few hours, her per capita usable area can instantly anger almost 99% of the people in Shanghai. As long as she is willing, She can even do self-guided drive-thru tours of the villa.You know, even Gong Ming only has one office.
Finally, two weeks later, Tang Wanru couldn't take it anymore. It took her two weeks to realize that "a person who is idle is shameful", so she used her expertise to find someone in the field of "specializing in art". I got a tutor to teach a 16-year-old boy to play badminton.
After dinner in the evening, when we all gathered in the living room drinking tea, watching TV, flipping through magazines, and gossiping, she announced the news to us.
The family has an only son, 16 years old, who is training badminton, and is now looking for a sparring partner, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, every night from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].The venue is Jing'an Sports Center.Salary negotiable.Contact person, Mr. Chen.
Tang Wanru read to us the job advertisement she saw on the recruitment website. At the same time, she also told us that in the afternoon, she had already called the other party. The other party was a 47-year-old middle-aged man who worked The conditions are very good, and the education is extremely high, and the family is rich.
"Then what are you thinking about? Hurry up and go to the interview."
"It's because of the interview time! How can anyone make an appointment for an interview at night! And it's at their house." Tang Wanru was very worried, with an anxious expression on her face, like a shy and awkward nutria. Just chatting and dragging me into the bathroom to rape me?"
After listening to this sentence, we all sincerely expressed our opinions, which are organized as follows:
"Rape? Or rape you in the bathroom? You have a beautiful idea. How old are you, and you still have such unrealistic daydreams all day long, there will be no pie in the sky, you should die .”——Gu Li.
"Why do you have to drag it into the bathroom? Isn't it good in the bedroom? Even in the living room is better than the bathroom? Why do you have such a strong taste?" - Gu Yuan.
"I'm thankful you don't drag her into the bathroom." - Gu Zhun.
"Fuck him! Go Ruby go!" - Neil.
Several people chirped for a while, but Tang Wanru didn't hear clearly. She only heard Neil's final concluding statement. She didn't understand it, but she wanted to show herself as an educated international woman in front of Neil, so she hesitated After a long time, he tentatively replied: "...You are welcome?"
Neil was shocked: "...am I?"
I:"……"
Seeing Ruru still looking anxious, Nanxiang couldn't help comforting her: "Okay, I'm an office worker, of course I only have time after get off work, and you are originally a training partner, which belongs to the private training service. Of course, the interview is at home. .”
Tang Wanru raised his hand to hold his chest, with an extremely aggrieved expression: "Even so, there is still a 16-year-old boy in his family, what if he drags me into the bathroom? You know, what does 16 represent? Fang Gang, spring heart is sprouting, isn't it, Lin Xiao?" Tang Wanru was so proud that she didn't understand at all.
I hurriedly said: "Why are you asking me!"
Gu Li: "Come on, with your weight, which 16-year-old boy can drag you? And the door of the bathroom is so narrow, no matter how you drag it, you will get stuck there. The door of our bathroom is big enough Right, don’t you just squeeze in lubricating oil every time? I’m not telling you, eat less at ordinary times, look at you, you grew taller last month, how much are you now? ? Is it 1.9 meters?"
Tang Wanru was shot head-on by Gu Li who spoke at the speed of a machine gun. She lay on her side on the sofa, her eyes calmly staring straight ahead. She didn't know if the blow was too big and she didn't slow down. Her dull and empty expression, Looks like he's in shock.
Nan Xiang couldn't bear it: "Forget it, there is his father there, as the saying goes, a woman of forty is a wolf, and a man of fifty is a tiger. This kind of strong man should be guarded, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. "
Tang Wanru seemed to see a savior, and her eyes instantly lit up: "Yes! Nanxiang is still educated and has read books! Isn't there a poem written by Bai Juyi, "Lonely man and widow, alone in a room, dry wood and fire, cloud and rain in Wushan or something, say How wonderful! It’s about young girls like us!”
Gu Li grinned gracefully, the venom on the fangs gleamed under the crystal lamp: "Which male can get angry when he sees you? Besides, your firewood is a bit too dry, Taklamakan You didn’t do it. There’s another poem by Bai Juyi that you haven’t read, right? ‘If you ask Wanxiang how much you have done, the moon represents my heart’ ah!”
Tang Wanru looked at Gu Li, and staggered to her step by step with a painful expression, like a chivalrous woman who was seriously injured and about to die: "Gu Li, I'm going to vomit."
Before the words fell, Gu Li's figure moved instantly, leaving our sight as quickly as the Flash, and slammed the door of her room tightly.
It seems that Tang Wanru's bow to her that night was really a bloody lesson.
Tang Wanru smirked sinisterly: "It's not easy to deal with Gu Li! Vomit at her! Pee at her! Shit at her! There are so many tactics!"
I:"……"
Nan Xiang: "..."
Gu Zhun: "..."
Neil: "Fuck her! Go Ruby go!"
Tang Wanru: "You are welcome!" This time she was confident, and the question marks turned into exclamation marks.
That night, after Ruru went out, she came back more than an hour later.We were looking forward to what kind of legend she would bring. She told us that the other party received her very politely, and then everything seemed to be satisfactory, and then sent her away and asked her to wait for the notice.All this sounds very smooth, but Tang Wanru's expression looks very disappointed.I think she must be very upset because no one tried to drag her into the bathroom to rape her.
Afterwards, everyone chatted happily and went back to their rooms to rest.
I lay on the bed with my eyes closed, but I couldn't sleep.Sogo's face keeps recurring in his mind—yes, the public now calls him Lu Shao, such a strange name is now very popular in the modeling circles all over China.Tomorrow he will shoot a set of photos for "ME", and I happen to be in charge of the costume assistant on the scene. What's worse, I need to go to his house early in the morning to wake him up, so as not to delay the shooting.
Destiny is such a wonderful thing, I feel like my life has been hitting a wall.A year ago, he was Zhou Chongguang, a writer, and I had to knock on his house because of the press release; a year later, he was Lu Shao, a model, and I still had to knock on his house.
That familiar smell floated in my nostrils looming again.It has a warm and charming fragrance like the setting sun, with a bit of bloody taste, very sweet and greasy, but also dangerous.The embrace of him in a gray Neil Barrett cashmere coat is generous and quiet, like an empty and silent airport on a rainy day.Although he changed his appearance, changed his name and changed his nationality, his aesthetics of clothes remained the same.He has an almost morbid obsession with grey.
In the days since I knew he was alive, I have tried to minimize my contact with him.Of course he has looked for me many times, but I haven't come out of Jianxi's world yet.Although I know that my relationship with Jian Xi is over, it has been completely changed by my own hands, like an egg dropped from the World Financial Center, no one can pick it up from the concrete road.However, at least I need a period of time to purify myself, at least until I can calmly face the failures and greatness of our past love, and face the love and hatred in the past years.At least I have to wait until the smell he left in my life dissipates in the air, and I can be qualified to stand in front of Sogo after being washed like new in the long river of time.So I kept avoiding seeing Sogo again.
Although there are countless lonely and helpless moments, when I close my eyes, I always think of his deep voice and his eyes mixed with sadness and sweetness.His deep eye sockets are filled with syrupy emotions that always knock me down.
But I know, not now.
Because I've made myself a bitch and I don't want to make myself a bitch again.
Because of the tossing and turning and cranky thinking last night, when I got up in the morning, my head was as heavy as a lead block. I went to the dining table with a pair of huge dark circles and picked up the coffee pot and poured myself a cup of black coffee. After gulping it down, he was almost knocked out by the strong bitter taste.
On the grass in the yard outside the door, the voices of Neil and Gu Li talking and laughing could be heard.
I turned my head and saw Gu Yuan sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and reading a magazine.
I don't know what to say, the atmosphere in the living room is extremely cold.He must have heard me coming out.But he has the ability to present a state of enjoyment in such an extremely embarrassing situation--when a person punishes others, he really enjoys it very much.
Gu Li and Neil walked in after drinking coffee, they were ready to go to work.
Gu Li stuffed her mobile phone and notebook into her newly bought Kate Moss for Longchamp handbag, and reminded me: "Don't forget to grab Lu Shao and take pictures. I have to meet three manufacturers in the afternoon, and I have to take pictures before noon. Finished, I'll wait for you at the company first. Let's go."
After speaking, like Bai Suzhen, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in front of me.
After listening to what she said, I poured another cup of coffee, closed my eyes, looked up and drank it.I rushed back to my room and changed my clothes, ready to go out.What can't you face?To put it bluntly, isn't she the former concubine!What am I afraid of? !I'm afraid my aunt and my gorgeous dark circles will scare you!
I rushed out of the house with my hair disheveled, and within two steps, a harsh horn sounded like a knife pierced my eardrum. I almost had a myocardial infarction as my heart was beating faster after drinking coffee.
"Beep──" the horn sounded again.
I raised my head, and in the bright morning sun, Sogo, who had turned into a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign guy, was standing beside his black car, with one hand reaching into the car window to honk the horn, and the other hand being raised , waving at me.
"Little assistant!" His only lips that haven't changed much, gently grinned in a familiar arc, the naughty smile unique to big boys.He stood up straight, and the white shirt, which had been washed and crisp, wrapped nice creases around his sturdy body, and the buttons in front of his chest were undone casually, revealing a small piece of wheat-colored muscle.His hands rested casually on the edge of the car door, and the gray crystal cufflinks reflected luxurious light in the sun.
I walked towards his golden-brown hair and eyebrows, and his emerald green pupils.
I feel that I am walking towards a happy execution ground step by step.
I stood in front of him, he stretched out his slender fingers, held my hand, didn't say a word, but continued to look at me with his nice and slightly sinister smile, the charming aura on his body, He's become sharper and sharper than before, maybe because he's grown up, no longer a boy, but increasingly a more aggressive male creature--he's kind of like his brother now.
Gong Ming.
However, God did not forget his enjoyment of the drama, he let me leave my mobile phone in the living room, and at this moment, he was very considerate and let Tang Wanru send it out to chase me.
If I could not blindly immerse myself in Sogo's charming eyes in a preparedness, then I only need to turn my head slightly, or even slightly tilt my gaze, and I can see the stunned Tang Wanru obliquely behind me at this moment.
At 47:[-], the studio on the upper floor of the company was already full of voices.All the staff members have arrived, and there are many unrelated staff members, they are all here for the amazingly beautiful Lu Shao.Because today is the swimwear series of a sports brand manufacturer this summer, the appearance of Lu Shao in swimming trunks is enough for any woman and some women with "male" written in their passports to find various reasons to stay in this studio. Come on, I bet, even if you let them kneel on the ground with a rag to wipe the concrete floor, they will be willing.
At this moment, Lu Shao had already changed into his swimming trunks, and was sitting on the sofa beside him wrapped in a towel and waiting.A man of about his stature sat at the position designated by the photographer in front of the set, and started metering instead of Landing Burn.
After everyone waited for Gu Li, who was on the phone in the corridor, to come in, they could start.Gu Li is the supervisor of this shooting.
I stood on the edge of the set, while counting the sample clothes on the hangers, and recording the order in which they were photographed, while listening to the movement of Gu Li outside the corridor.I don't know why, but when I came in the morning, I felt that she had a bad face, and at the moment she was in the corridor, and the voice on the phone sounded like an argument.This is too abnormal for Gu Li.
After a while, Gu Li came in.She walked to the door, bent down and picked up a big horn, put it in front of her mouth, and then sprayed the venom like a monster: "Men and women present, to be precise, women and women, listen to me , except for a few people from the advertising department who had a meeting with me yesterday, and a few assistants whose names are listed on today's schedule, as well as the staff of the photographer team, everyone else, quickly pick up your eyeballs from the ground , stuff it back into your eye sockets, and then quickly clamp your upturned tails or other things, where did you come from, where do you go back. Otherwise," Gu Li paused, as if thinking about how to kill him "Otherwise, I'll call and ask Gong Ming to come down."
Before the words were finished, in an instant, the dark people scattered, and it felt like Gu Li had released the Kraken.
After the scene was cleared, Gu Li turned around and threw the horn on the chair next to her, and walked over gracefully on her high heels. She looked at me triumphantly, as if showing off her quick victory in clearing the scene, and then she looked at me again. Seeing Lu Shao sitting under the light, he suddenly fell silent.
At that moment, an inexplicable feeling suddenly hit me.It seemed as if a ghost popped out of nowhere, pierced my back and got in.
A cold fear suddenly rose in my heart, like being entangled in the heart by a wet octopus.
I looked at Gu Li, her gaze fixed on Lu Shao remained motionless, an expression as if she had discovered something strange and incomprehensible gradually appeared on her face, and her face quickly turned pale.She turned her head and looked at me with straight eyes, without speaking, one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds.I was horrified by her steadfast gaze.
Four seconds later, the flickering and trembling light in her pupils suddenly went out, and it was pitch black, like a light bulb that was pulled out by someone.
She closed her eyes, lost consciousness for an instant, and fell straight behind her on her back.
No one knew what happened, the entire huge studio was silent, countless high-power lights silently illuminated Gu Li who was motionless on the ground, her chest was as quiet as the surface of a lake, she had no ups and downs, no breathing up.
(End of this chapter)
"Then what happened afterwards? Didn't your bow to Gu Li cause her to whip out her fangs and suck the blood from your neck?" Gu Zhun looked at Tang Wanru, his dark eyebrows furrowed like a twitch. The NIKE logo brought a sense of joy to his handsome face, with a serious and funny expression.
"Of course not, Gu Li is my good sister." Tang Wanru moved her chair towards Gu Zhun obsessively, "Let me tell you, handsome guy, the scene was really spectacular, the boiling soup The water just flowed down from your sister's cleavage like that, your sister's complexion didn't change a bit, no matter how powerful the world is and the situation changes, she will not move."
Nan Xiang and I were frowning. We understood that Gu Li didn't move at that time because to Gu Li, that scene was like a high-performance computer suddenly encountering a difficult operation that exceeded its program logic. It just: crashed.
I closed my eyes, the hot sun shone on my eyelids, and the retina was hot red, like magma.
That night, the four of us huddled together in the high-end bathroom of Hyatt on the Bund, and had a pleasant shower. There was a shower head in the toilet for guests who had finished soaking in the open-air swimming pool, and the water was filtered through a triple water purification system. It's OK if you really pick it up and drink a few sips.Of course, Gu Li was not happy. The expression on her face when she flushed her chest with the shower head was like a Japanese samurai preparing to cut her belly with a samurai sword.
Compared to Gu Li, Tang Wanru was much more chic. She untied the bun on her head that was fixed with numerous clips and hairspray, and then vigorously shook her beautiful hair away. She loved doing this since she was a child. Action, every time I imagined that I was a model in a shampoo advertisement on TV, with moving lights hitting her hair, and a slow-motion high-speed camera capturing her perfect moment, but in fact, whenever she When she closed her eyes and flicked her hair from side to side, her expression looked like an aunt who went shopping for groceries and suddenly heard Lady Gaga dance. Of course, with Gu Li on her head "Dinner", with the light dance of her hair, the heavenly girl scattered flowers.
After we finished tossing in the bathroom, it was already very late. When the four of us came out wrapped in the bathrobes provided by the hotel, the guests outside all left the venue one after another. I think everyone should be very satisfied. After all, "A woman pointed Shouting and falling into the cake" Such a dramatic scene is not often seen.
The four of us sat by the open-air circular swimming pool, and the building was empty, only two waiters in white shirts and black vests were cleaning up more than 100 wine glasses and all kinds of messy cups and plates on the scene.I didn't speak, I couldn't even focus my sight, the alcohol in my brain hadn't evaporated, the world was spinning, my consciousness was blurred and anxious, as if there were a pair of fiery pliers tightly clamped on both sides of my forehead, my The hands kept rubbing my temples vigorously.
On the empty terrace, at the highest place by the river on the Bund in Shanghai, there are only four of us left, surrounded by silence and darkness, this feeling is really great.I raised my head and looked at Nan Xiang who was flushed across the face, two lines of tears rolled down the ground.From the top of her head, the night sky in Shanghai is full of brilliant stars.But my chaotic brain can no longer tell which are twinkling planetesimals and which are Lujiazui aviation signal lights.
That night, while we were drinking, we asked the hotel staff for swimsuits in the early hours of the morning, and then the four of us jumped into the pool like four white dumplings, tumbling in the water .Because everyone drank too much, everyone laughed wildly and wrestled together. Many times I couldn't tell who was Gu Li and who was Tang Wanru (...).In this way, we spent the last two hours of Gu Li's scheduled time slot.
In addition to my crying that night, I felt that the three of them were also crying.Nan Xiang's tearful eyes are more beautiful than the brightest aviation signal lights above his head, not to mention the starlight filtered by the polluted atmosphere above his head.It breaks my heart to see it.As for Gu Li, although she repeatedly emphasized that her red eyes were because she couldn't stand the disinfectant in the pool while wearing contact lenses, I believe she must have cried too.Because I know her best, she has a mouth made of a knife -- of course, she also has a heart of stainless steel.
Needless to say, Tang Wanru, blind people know that she is crying. She opened her mouth and wailed non-stop. Because she opened her mouth too much, she drank the water in the swimming pool while crying. She cried for so long that the water in the pool The water line dropped a lot, and I yelled at her while crying with the strength of drinking: "You drink less! You drink less, there is no water in the pool, and my cleavage is exposed to the air Hearing my words, Gu Li rolled his eyes as big as a ping-pong ball: "Lin Xiao, don't be shameless, cleavage? What cleavage? Where did you get your cleavage from? Do you know where your cleavage is?"
After listening to Gu Li's questioning, I really couldn't answer. I turned to Nan Xiang drunkenly, "Nan Xiang, where do you say the cleavage is? How should I describe the location, below the throat? Or above the belly button?" ah?"
Just as Nan Xiang was about to answer, Tang Wanru told me impatiently, "Between the boobs!"
Gu Li suddenly sank into the water, it seemed that he couldn't bear the stimulation and committed suicide.
Why do you cry?
Later, I kept reminiscing about that night, and then kept asking myself.
If God really exists, if he was still awake in the early morning, if he was not drunk like us at that time, then he is high in the sky, looking down soberly on the highest terrace by the Huangpu River. When he was four girls, he looked at their tears and listened to their ordinary and faint heartbeat, what would he think?
I think it may be because the scenery at that moment is so beautiful - the dark sky is dotted with big diamond-like stars, and the concrete forest composed of countless skyscrapers in Lujiazui opposite is completely dark, only sporadic lights are still on because of overtime work The windows of the skyscrapers, the red navigation lights flashing randomly on the top of the skyscrapers, like countless sparks still blown by the wind in the burned black forest.All of these make Lujiazui look like a diamond necklace that God took off from his neck and placed by the river.
I think it may also be because we have accumulated too many emotions, and the high dam we built in our hearts finally collapsed under the impact of alcohol.
At this time four years ago, Nan Xiang was still immersed in the thick and pungent picture book world and love novels in the library. She was still a literary young woman who didn't like makeup. Her oil paintings won awards every year. She The slender legs like a deer have attracted countless rock youths from art colleges and physics monsters from engineering colleges to fall madly in love with her;
At that time, Tang Wanru was still a cute and shy muscular bullfrog. She liked to wear a huge pink bow on her chest and run happily on the playground. It looked like she had two pieces of Nu Bra on her chest.She is obsessed with Wei Hai. She even took out the spirit of doing chemical experiments in high school back then, and built a small kitchen on the balcony of the dormitory. Using all kinds of unimaginable equipment and raw materials, she made box after box by herself. love bento;
Although Gu Li four years ago was already a hooligan who carried bank cards and calculators around all day long, she didn't have a broad vision at that time. She didn't know that Shanghai would be popular two years later. The thing is called "the afternoon tea that Hong Kong socialites in the Peninsula Hotel on the Bund have always regarded as a legend". At that time, she was still satisfied with the 68 yuan breakfast at the school. It's fine for the little bastards to compare, but her vision at that time was actually locked in the high walls around the school;
The me four years ago, who came from an ordinary family, also lived completely in a greenhouse built of glass houses. I was a delicate rose, and the wind and snow outside could not blow me, and my hands were dirty. Can't catch me, the gentle prince reads love poems to me every day, but I still stab him with my thorns from time to time, looking at his painful and handsome face, I become more arrogant and contrived, more excited and fanatical, tormenting Jian Xi For me, it is the most useful aphrodisiac.As Lin Meigui, someone watered me when I was thirsty, and turned on the heater when I was cold. Occasionally, when a leaf fell, I exclaimed, "Autumn is already here, can winter be far behind?"
And in a blink of an eye, I was uprooted and stuck in the Taklamakan Desert. Shameless sandstorms caressed my tender petals wildly, as if a wretched man was ravaging a crying girl with a lewd smile. The tall and strong cactus covered with thorns, all wearing high heels, competed with me for the only nutrients and water.
So in this state—what state?It’s the working state of holding a stopwatch every day to complete one impossible task after another—the four of us rarely get together, needless to say talking heart-to-heart all night and all night, needless to say cats in the same room In the bedroom, curled up on the same big bed to watch concert DVDs (three years later, even DVDs are no longer popular, and Blu-rays are flying all over the world), we even drink an afternoon tea together, or even simply have a lunch together. Became a luxury.
Countless daytimes, I can see Gu Li in the office constantly calling and sending and receiving emails. Her face is expressionless, but the shimmering light in her eyes looks like a wet exhaustion, like The masonry ground of the People's Square after the rain.I also witnessed her throwing up in the bathroom in the middle of the meeting because she wrote the plan all night before and then went to the meeting early the next morning. I followed her to the bathroom and helped her lift her KENZO in the bathroom Silk scarf, she came back after vomiting and continued to discuss various proposals without changing her face. I quietly poured a pack of high-performance nutrient powder rationed by Gong Ming's nutritionist into her coffee.
As for Nanxiang, he submitted one resume after another and went to interviews one after another.Sometimes when I get up to go to the toilet at night, I can still see her sitting in front of the computer and browsing the recruitment website. The coffee cup in her hand has long since stopped steaming, and it looks like a cup of bitter and cold traditional Chinese medicine.
In this kind of life, our student days, when we talked about everything, poured out our hearts and souls, acted as each other's close-fitting padded jackets, and acted as each other's intimate big sisters, disappeared bit by bit.
I miss that era.
I really miss that era!
That era was covered with a layer of soft dust, touching our unwrinkled faces like warm silk, and tears could flow into the neckline along the young and smooth corners of the eyes, instead of putting eye shadow and mascara on like now, It washed into an unsightly jet-black pile on the bags under the eyes.
In the college days when we lived in a mixed dormitory, every Saturday afternoon at 03:30 when we stayed in school together, we would turn on the radio and listen to a nostalgic golden song column on the radio. That column always played the theme of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" repeatedly The song "Dream Chaser", whenever Feng Feifei sang "Look at me", the few of us would sing together and look at each other, stretching out our hands artificially, imitating the figure of the heroine on TV.
It was also that night, in the tumbling warm pool water and the advanced LED cold light under the water, I suddenly understood what the adults said before, what is life: life is force majeure, it is the only one in the contract, It is also the overlord clause that no one can change that will always exist.
So under such a romantic and eternal starry sky, in the Qionglou Yuyu high above the river, we cried and laughed, and said a lot of things. I was drunk, and I didn’t remember most of them, but I I finally understand that Tang Wanru is still Tang Wanru, she will always be the Ruru in our hearts──yes, that pet.She told us about Nanxiang's mother's drug use. She called the police. She was completely frightened at that time. She had gone to Nanxiang's house to argue with Nanxiang. In the end, she pushed her away with a murderous look on her face. At the door of Nanxiang's house, there was a heroic scene of Nanxiang's mother stabbing her arm with a needle. She was completely out of the idea of protecting Nanxiang at that time, and she was educated since she was a child. ".Unlike me, I have been successfully brainwashed into the thinking mode of "if something goes wrong, find Gu Li".It's just that this move, under the low pressure of "Nanxiang Wei Haitang Wanru's love-hate relationship" at that time, would definitely be misinterpreted.In fact, if I think about it carefully, if it were me and I knew that Nanxiang was involved in drug-related matters, I might also call the police.I can't just watch her go to hell, let alone I'm not Gu Li, I can make a few phone calls or even send a few text messages to solve the matter.
When it came to Wei Hai, Tang Wanru was very bold, and waved his hands: "It's okay, of course I can understand! If I were him, I also like you. You are so beautiful, you can draw, and you have big breasts." Fat buttocks, I'm very calm to lose to you!" Tang Wanru guessed that she had read some books during this period and knew how to use the words "big breasts and fat buttocks". When she first started her freshman year, she used to describe our department A girl with big breasts is not so elegant: "Damn, look at that girl, her tits are like Turpan!" I couldn't understand at the time, and I asked her, "Isn't Turpan a basin? It's sunken in!" Tang Wanru was very special. Calmly: "Yes, Turpan is the hole that the woman made after she fell."
At this moment, Tang Wanru leaned her head on Nan Xiang's shoulder, tilted her head to look at Gu Li and added in time: "If I lose to Gu Li, I can't figure it out. Who wants to fall in love with an abacus!"
I was awakened from my memory by a burst of loud applause. Under the golden sun in front of my eyes, Gu Zhun and Neil couldn't help applauding Tang Wanru after hearing Tang Wanru's heroic deeds.Tang Wanru looked at the two sexy beauties in front of her smiling and applauding at her with charming eyes. She couldn't help shortness of breath, and raised her hand to gently hold her chest. She didn't know whether she was excited or wanted to vomit, it was hard to tell.
The sound of the ancient clock on Nanjing West Road could be heard in the air, and it was eight o'clock.
Several of us also finished our morning meeting, moved the chairs under the eaves and put them away, and went back to the room to prepare the things we needed for work.
Nan Xiang and I dragged our chairs and walked home. As we walked, I asked her, "Are you still going for an interview today?"
Nan Xiang nodded: "Yes, I found a job in a gallery, but it's just a junior assistant. Give it a try."
I nodded and extended my hand to welcome: "Join the club. Welcome to the assistant club."
Nan Xiang took a sip of coffee, and seemed to mention it casually, not serious: "I heard that this gallery is also related to your "ME" group. It seems that you have a lot of shares in it. I invested in it before. I seem to have seen it in my resume."
I froze, not knowing what expression to make.
And Nan Xiang had already followed Gu Li into the room, and she didn't even give me a look or a look except for leaving me a back view.She didn't seem to know that she said something that made people's shoulders tense-even though it seemed to be an understatement, like a goose feather.
For college students, this sentence is the same as "Want to drink coffee later? I just heard a gossip about Liu Xuefeng, don't mention how disgusting she is."
But for us, who have been at the base of the social pyramid for two years, it sounds like, "Can you help me?"
It’s like this every morning. As soon as it’s time to go to work, the few of us started to disperse from the house unshakably, and ran to the building of "ME", like a group of happy little animals, chirping and jumping hand in hand Then he ran out of the forest and ran to the embrace of the slaughterhouse.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be something similar to a mysterious factor in our life. If you put it literaryly, it is fate, and if you put it a little disgustingly, it is the fetters of the previous life. But if you want to talk about human beings, it is probably The sins of the previous life!Over the past twenty years, it seems that there are always various things that make our group of people separate, reunite, parting, and reunion.We have spent junior high, high school, and college hand in hand with each other... But God seems to think that it is not enough, we have to spend a longer life together.Maybe God, the old man is discovering more and more that our group of people are very talented dramatic performers, and we can live an extraordinary life, which is better than Hollywood disaster blockbusters──Who doesn’t like to watch intrigue, handsome men and beautiful women, What about gossip-filled TV series?
So, how low is the probability that so many of us have entered the same company one after another.From the moment I went to interview for "ME" three years ago, God seemed to start an unstoppable chain of gears, click and click. Until today, Gu Li has become the director of the advertising department of our company, and Gu Yuan has become the director of our company. Neil joined the legal department lightly. Gu Zhun holds so many shares in our company. It’s just like playing for a job. It’s more convenient than going to McDonald’s to buy a cone.And now, there is another Pandora's box——Nanxiang. I vaguely feel that there is an unusually weird food chain behind it, but I can't really see it, and I can't figure it out.I just know very well that this is not over yet.
──What's the matter?Oh, of course it is our life.
I stopped thinking about it, raised my hand and threw the finished Starbucks cup into the trash can at the door. When I looked up, I just ran into Gu Yuan who was wearing a tight black suit and was about to go out. He lowered his head and met my gaze. For a moment, I felt like a basin of cold water mixed with ice was poured from the top of my head.
Yes, since Jian Xi left, he has always looked at me like this, mixed with contempt and indifference.Every time I see Gu Yuan, he always reminds me with such eyes, letting me know what a bad bitch I was.This was his silent and cold punishment.Like Gu Li, he knows how to torture people to the greatest extent with the least effort.
Even though nearly half a year has passed, that morning in the summer of 2009, the morning when Jian Xi broke up with me, still stubbornly survived in his hard and sharp pupils, still alive as if stored in a constant temperature of zero. Just like the original embryo in the experimental freezer, with just a slight stimulus, it can multiply and divide quickly, and grow into a bloody monster that I can't avoid and can only look directly at.
I can actually understand Gu Yuan's hatred for me. To be honest, if I change my chair today and Gu Yuan abandons Gu Li because of a woman, I think I should behave better than the current Gu Yuan. This comes from a woman's natural talent for drama.I don't think I'll just humiliate each other with a calm gaze. There are so many things we lunatics can do. No matter how ungrateful or not, we just want to work together.
Gu Li is right, men and women are fundamentally hostile.God has been merciful in not putting us at the top and bottom of the food chain.
Just like what Jian Xi said before, if Gu Li killed someone, it must be the bullets I helped her gun; Gu Li also said, if Gu Yuan raped Tang Wanru, it must be the pants that Jian Xi helped take off. ──Or Tang Wanru took it off by herself.
In this matter, I think the most difficult person is Gu Li. She stands between me and Gu Yuan, and she is not a human being.Especially when there were only the three of us in the living room, the scene was so embarrassing, no matter it was an hour or a whole night, Gu Yuan could not say a word to me, even in the middle of his conversation with Gu Li, If Gu Li said something to me, he could never answer another word.I understand Gu Yuan, and I don't even blame him at all.I understand Gu Li better, and I thank her.
The only thing I can't understand is myself.
In order to make up for the troubles I caused to Gu Li—and I also depended on others—I used my whole month’s salary to buy Gu Li a pair of GUESS high-heeled shoes (Of course my mother can’t afford CHANEL or Dior, I just caused Gu Li I didn’t kill her niece or dirty her PRADA camel hair coat), when I gave the gift to Gu Li, she looked me up and down, and took the box carefully, with precise and smooth movements , Like a bomb disposal expert, she took a deep breath, and then asked me mercifully, "Tell me, what do you want from me?" With a groan, I stretched out my claws and grabbed her neck.The "Auld Lang Syne" I was brewing with all my heart was ruined by this "Gu Demot".
After I roared and made my intentions clear, Gu Li felt very guilty. She reviewed her inhumanity and thanked me from the bottom of her heart. Finally, she held my hand and said, "Lin Xiao, but as you Good friend of mine, I have to be honest, I hardly ever wear flats, so…”
I looked at the pair of 6cm high-heeled shoes in the box, and compared them with the pair of 14cm compass-like stilettos on Gu Li's feet, and I gave up.I held my forehead, trying to make a last resort, and said, "This shoe is at least 6cm long. If it's not high heels, then what are the sneakers we usually wear?"
Gu Li stroked me shyly: "Honey, what should I say? When I was in "ME", I always felt that you often came to work wearing socks."
I:"……"
Gu Li looked at me with her "mei ren xing" face, and played with my two strands of hair with her fingers, circling around, her gaze was very dusty, like a chicken that has been out of Shanghai, she suddenly rolled her eyes : "Ah! Why didn't I remember? I can give it to Lucy! That way I won't feel guilty every time because her legs are too short, and it feels like she's kneeling to serve me!"
Me: "...you hurry up!"
After a group of us quickly transformed ourselves from pajamas and shorts into professional geeks wrapped in black suits and black skirts in the state of Sonic Boys, we filed out of the house and quickly dispersed like a group of The man in black going to the funeral.However, our destination is the same, but the way of leaving is different.Different methods divide us into different levels of people in an instant.I was at the bottom and trotted to the subway station in high heels to squeeze the subway. Gu Zhun followed, he walked to the gate of the community, reached out to hail a taxi, and disappeared on the bustling West Nanjing Road.And Neil, the little brat, drove his own single-door sports car, chugged, and jumped out of the community like a mouse.As for Gu Yuan and Gu Li, they walked to the entrance of the community and got into the black Mercedes-Benz 350 and BMW 730 respectively, and the two drivers who were standing beside the car opened the door at the same time.To be honest, the carbon emissions are set up by them in this way. It is obvious that they are going to work in the same company, and they have to take two cars.
I have humiliated Gu Li for this before, and I said: "Is it necessary, a car can solve the problem, look at the airs at the two ends of you, who is it for? I want to be shortlisted for the 'Huabiao Award' ?”
"It's called professionalism, okay? Sister, it's immoral to fall in love with senior executives in the company, and it's still in the advertising and finance departments. To put it bluntly, he and I can quickly form a relationship by using our brains and flirting with each other." Industrial chain, you plow the fields and let me weave cloth, how can I do that! I still have the most basic traditional virtues of the Chinese nation!" Gu Li wore her Dior sunglasses, she didn't bother to look at me at all, she looked at another man in the air. Xiang Xiang said, but she was completely unaware that this made her look blind.
So I prodded her viciously: "Gu Li, Gu Li, I'm here, look over here, to your left."
The two passers-by couldn't help turning their heads to look at Gu Li.
I couldn't help laughing smugly, Gu Li shrugged his shoulders at passers-by, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "...I don't know this woman, it's scary, and I don't know what's wrong with her, maybe there's something wrong here." While talking, she raised her finger, and when she said the word "here", she vigorously circled and gestured on her temple.
I:"……"
This is the beginning of our everyday life now.
Although it is completely different from the university, at least the most gratifying point is that the few of us are still together.I can hear all kinds of Gu Li's new, vitriolic and outrageous swearing books every day, and I can also watch Nan Xiang's amazingly beautiful face next to me to set off my sallow face... What else are you planning?
And every morning after we go to work, Tang Wanru is the only one left in the empty two-story villa. In those few hours, her per capita usable area can instantly anger almost 99% of the people in Shanghai. As long as she is willing, She can even do self-guided drive-thru tours of the villa.You know, even Gong Ming only has one office.
Finally, two weeks later, Tang Wanru couldn't take it anymore. It took her two weeks to realize that "a person who is idle is shameful", so she used her expertise to find someone in the field of "specializing in art". I got a tutor to teach a 16-year-old boy to play badminton.
After dinner in the evening, when we all gathered in the living room drinking tea, watching TV, flipping through magazines, and gossiping, she announced the news to us.
The family has an only son, 16 years old, who is training badminton, and is now looking for a sparring partner, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, every night from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].The venue is Jing'an Sports Center.Salary negotiable.Contact person, Mr. Chen.
Tang Wanru read to us the job advertisement she saw on the recruitment website. At the same time, she also told us that in the afternoon, she had already called the other party. The other party was a 47-year-old middle-aged man who worked The conditions are very good, and the education is extremely high, and the family is rich.
"Then what are you thinking about? Hurry up and go to the interview."
"It's because of the interview time! How can anyone make an appointment for an interview at night! And it's at their house." Tang Wanru was very worried, with an anxious expression on her face, like a shy and awkward nutria. Just chatting and dragging me into the bathroom to rape me?"
After listening to this sentence, we all sincerely expressed our opinions, which are organized as follows:
"Rape? Or rape you in the bathroom? You have a beautiful idea. How old are you, and you still have such unrealistic daydreams all day long, there will be no pie in the sky, you should die .”——Gu Li.
"Why do you have to drag it into the bathroom? Isn't it good in the bedroom? Even in the living room is better than the bathroom? Why do you have such a strong taste?" - Gu Yuan.
"I'm thankful you don't drag her into the bathroom." - Gu Zhun.
"Fuck him! Go Ruby go!" - Neil.
Several people chirped for a while, but Tang Wanru didn't hear clearly. She only heard Neil's final concluding statement. She didn't understand it, but she wanted to show herself as an educated international woman in front of Neil, so she hesitated After a long time, he tentatively replied: "...You are welcome?"
Neil was shocked: "...am I?"
I:"……"
Seeing Ruru still looking anxious, Nanxiang couldn't help comforting her: "Okay, I'm an office worker, of course I only have time after get off work, and you are originally a training partner, which belongs to the private training service. Of course, the interview is at home. .”
Tang Wanru raised his hand to hold his chest, with an extremely aggrieved expression: "Even so, there is still a 16-year-old boy in his family, what if he drags me into the bathroom? You know, what does 16 represent? Fang Gang, spring heart is sprouting, isn't it, Lin Xiao?" Tang Wanru was so proud that she didn't understand at all.
I hurriedly said: "Why are you asking me!"
Gu Li: "Come on, with your weight, which 16-year-old boy can drag you? And the door of the bathroom is so narrow, no matter how you drag it, you will get stuck there. The door of our bathroom is big enough Right, don’t you just squeeze in lubricating oil every time? I’m not telling you, eat less at ordinary times, look at you, you grew taller last month, how much are you now? ? Is it 1.9 meters?"
Tang Wanru was shot head-on by Gu Li who spoke at the speed of a machine gun. She lay on her side on the sofa, her eyes calmly staring straight ahead. She didn't know if the blow was too big and she didn't slow down. Her dull and empty expression, Looks like he's in shock.
Nan Xiang couldn't bear it: "Forget it, there is his father there, as the saying goes, a woman of forty is a wolf, and a man of fifty is a tiger. This kind of strong man should be guarded, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. "
Tang Wanru seemed to see a savior, and her eyes instantly lit up: "Yes! Nanxiang is still educated and has read books! Isn't there a poem written by Bai Juyi, "Lonely man and widow, alone in a room, dry wood and fire, cloud and rain in Wushan or something, say How wonderful! It’s about young girls like us!”
Gu Li grinned gracefully, the venom on the fangs gleamed under the crystal lamp: "Which male can get angry when he sees you? Besides, your firewood is a bit too dry, Taklamakan You didn’t do it. There’s another poem by Bai Juyi that you haven’t read, right? ‘If you ask Wanxiang how much you have done, the moon represents my heart’ ah!”
Tang Wanru looked at Gu Li, and staggered to her step by step with a painful expression, like a chivalrous woman who was seriously injured and about to die: "Gu Li, I'm going to vomit."
Before the words fell, Gu Li's figure moved instantly, leaving our sight as quickly as the Flash, and slammed the door of her room tightly.
It seems that Tang Wanru's bow to her that night was really a bloody lesson.
Tang Wanru smirked sinisterly: "It's not easy to deal with Gu Li! Vomit at her! Pee at her! Shit at her! There are so many tactics!"
I:"……"
Nan Xiang: "..."
Gu Zhun: "..."
Neil: "Fuck her! Go Ruby go!"
Tang Wanru: "You are welcome!" This time she was confident, and the question marks turned into exclamation marks.
That night, after Ruru went out, she came back more than an hour later.We were looking forward to what kind of legend she would bring. She told us that the other party received her very politely, and then everything seemed to be satisfactory, and then sent her away and asked her to wait for the notice.All this sounds very smooth, but Tang Wanru's expression looks very disappointed.I think she must be very upset because no one tried to drag her into the bathroom to rape her.
Afterwards, everyone chatted happily and went back to their rooms to rest.
I lay on the bed with my eyes closed, but I couldn't sleep.Sogo's face keeps recurring in his mind—yes, the public now calls him Lu Shao, such a strange name is now very popular in the modeling circles all over China.Tomorrow he will shoot a set of photos for "ME", and I happen to be in charge of the costume assistant on the scene. What's worse, I need to go to his house early in the morning to wake him up, so as not to delay the shooting.
Destiny is such a wonderful thing, I feel like my life has been hitting a wall.A year ago, he was Zhou Chongguang, a writer, and I had to knock on his house because of the press release; a year later, he was Lu Shao, a model, and I still had to knock on his house.
That familiar smell floated in my nostrils looming again.It has a warm and charming fragrance like the setting sun, with a bit of bloody taste, very sweet and greasy, but also dangerous.The embrace of him in a gray Neil Barrett cashmere coat is generous and quiet, like an empty and silent airport on a rainy day.Although he changed his appearance, changed his name and changed his nationality, his aesthetics of clothes remained the same.He has an almost morbid obsession with grey.
In the days since I knew he was alive, I have tried to minimize my contact with him.Of course he has looked for me many times, but I haven't come out of Jianxi's world yet.Although I know that my relationship with Jian Xi is over, it has been completely changed by my own hands, like an egg dropped from the World Financial Center, no one can pick it up from the concrete road.However, at least I need a period of time to purify myself, at least until I can calmly face the failures and greatness of our past love, and face the love and hatred in the past years.At least I have to wait until the smell he left in my life dissipates in the air, and I can be qualified to stand in front of Sogo after being washed like new in the long river of time.So I kept avoiding seeing Sogo again.
Although there are countless lonely and helpless moments, when I close my eyes, I always think of his deep voice and his eyes mixed with sadness and sweetness.His deep eye sockets are filled with syrupy emotions that always knock me down.
But I know, not now.
Because I've made myself a bitch and I don't want to make myself a bitch again.
Because of the tossing and turning and cranky thinking last night, when I got up in the morning, my head was as heavy as a lead block. I went to the dining table with a pair of huge dark circles and picked up the coffee pot and poured myself a cup of black coffee. After gulping it down, he was almost knocked out by the strong bitter taste.
On the grass in the yard outside the door, the voices of Neil and Gu Li talking and laughing could be heard.
I turned my head and saw Gu Yuan sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and reading a magazine.
I don't know what to say, the atmosphere in the living room is extremely cold.He must have heard me coming out.But he has the ability to present a state of enjoyment in such an extremely embarrassing situation--when a person punishes others, he really enjoys it very much.
Gu Li and Neil walked in after drinking coffee, they were ready to go to work.
Gu Li stuffed her mobile phone and notebook into her newly bought Kate Moss for Longchamp handbag, and reminded me: "Don't forget to grab Lu Shao and take pictures. I have to meet three manufacturers in the afternoon, and I have to take pictures before noon. Finished, I'll wait for you at the company first. Let's go."
After speaking, like Bai Suzhen, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in front of me.
After listening to what she said, I poured another cup of coffee, closed my eyes, looked up and drank it.I rushed back to my room and changed my clothes, ready to go out.What can't you face?To put it bluntly, isn't she the former concubine!What am I afraid of? !I'm afraid my aunt and my gorgeous dark circles will scare you!
I rushed out of the house with my hair disheveled, and within two steps, a harsh horn sounded like a knife pierced my eardrum. I almost had a myocardial infarction as my heart was beating faster after drinking coffee.
"Beep──" the horn sounded again.
I raised my head, and in the bright morning sun, Sogo, who had turned into a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign guy, was standing beside his black car, with one hand reaching into the car window to honk the horn, and the other hand being raised , waving at me.
"Little assistant!" His only lips that haven't changed much, gently grinned in a familiar arc, the naughty smile unique to big boys.He stood up straight, and the white shirt, which had been washed and crisp, wrapped nice creases around his sturdy body, and the buttons in front of his chest were undone casually, revealing a small piece of wheat-colored muscle.His hands rested casually on the edge of the car door, and the gray crystal cufflinks reflected luxurious light in the sun.
I walked towards his golden-brown hair and eyebrows, and his emerald green pupils.
I feel that I am walking towards a happy execution ground step by step.
I stood in front of him, he stretched out his slender fingers, held my hand, didn't say a word, but continued to look at me with his nice and slightly sinister smile, the charming aura on his body, He's become sharper and sharper than before, maybe because he's grown up, no longer a boy, but increasingly a more aggressive male creature--he's kind of like his brother now.
Gong Ming.
However, God did not forget his enjoyment of the drama, he let me leave my mobile phone in the living room, and at this moment, he was very considerate and let Tang Wanru send it out to chase me.
If I could not blindly immerse myself in Sogo's charming eyes in a preparedness, then I only need to turn my head slightly, or even slightly tilt my gaze, and I can see the stunned Tang Wanru obliquely behind me at this moment.
At 47:[-], the studio on the upper floor of the company was already full of voices.All the staff members have arrived, and there are many unrelated staff members, they are all here for the amazingly beautiful Lu Shao.Because today is the swimwear series of a sports brand manufacturer this summer, the appearance of Lu Shao in swimming trunks is enough for any woman and some women with "male" written in their passports to find various reasons to stay in this studio. Come on, I bet, even if you let them kneel on the ground with a rag to wipe the concrete floor, they will be willing.
At this moment, Lu Shao had already changed into his swimming trunks, and was sitting on the sofa beside him wrapped in a towel and waiting.A man of about his stature sat at the position designated by the photographer in front of the set, and started metering instead of Landing Burn.
After everyone waited for Gu Li, who was on the phone in the corridor, to come in, they could start.Gu Li is the supervisor of this shooting.
I stood on the edge of the set, while counting the sample clothes on the hangers, and recording the order in which they were photographed, while listening to the movement of Gu Li outside the corridor.I don't know why, but when I came in the morning, I felt that she had a bad face, and at the moment she was in the corridor, and the voice on the phone sounded like an argument.This is too abnormal for Gu Li.
After a while, Gu Li came in.She walked to the door, bent down and picked up a big horn, put it in front of her mouth, and then sprayed the venom like a monster: "Men and women present, to be precise, women and women, listen to me , except for a few people from the advertising department who had a meeting with me yesterday, and a few assistants whose names are listed on today's schedule, as well as the staff of the photographer team, everyone else, quickly pick up your eyeballs from the ground , stuff it back into your eye sockets, and then quickly clamp your upturned tails or other things, where did you come from, where do you go back. Otherwise," Gu Li paused, as if thinking about how to kill him "Otherwise, I'll call and ask Gong Ming to come down."
Before the words were finished, in an instant, the dark people scattered, and it felt like Gu Li had released the Kraken.
After the scene was cleared, Gu Li turned around and threw the horn on the chair next to her, and walked over gracefully on her high heels. She looked at me triumphantly, as if showing off her quick victory in clearing the scene, and then she looked at me again. Seeing Lu Shao sitting under the light, he suddenly fell silent.
At that moment, an inexplicable feeling suddenly hit me.It seemed as if a ghost popped out of nowhere, pierced my back and got in.
A cold fear suddenly rose in my heart, like being entangled in the heart by a wet octopus.
I looked at Gu Li, her gaze fixed on Lu Shao remained motionless, an expression as if she had discovered something strange and incomprehensible gradually appeared on her face, and her face quickly turned pale.She turned her head and looked at me with straight eyes, without speaking, one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds.I was horrified by her steadfast gaze.
Four seconds later, the flickering and trembling light in her pupils suddenly went out, and it was pitch black, like a light bulb that was pulled out by someone.
She closed her eyes, lost consciousness for an instant, and fell straight behind her on her back.
No one knew what happened, the entire huge studio was silent, countless high-power lights silently illuminated Gu Li who was motionless on the ground, her chest was as quiet as the surface of a lake, she had no ups and downs, no breathing up.
