Small Times 3.0 Golden Age

Chapter 7 CHAPTER 06
It rains all summer in Shanghai.

The rain drenches the whole city.My clothes were hung on the drying rack in the yard, and several times they were almost dry, only to have another rain, and the clothes were wet.

There are wet sycamore leaves sticking to the ground everywhere on the road. Hundreds of years ago, when they were transplanted from France, they certainly never imagined that one day they would be able to grow all over the expensive concessions in Shanghai like the Romans. Dress up this oriental city in an extremely charming way, and bring in priceless exotic customs. They stir up desires, wrapping naked wolfish ambitions and sharp swords and swords in their gentle and lazy rustling sounds—like flowing water. The singing of the warbler whitewashes the bleakness of midnight, as if the fragrance of a full meal covers up the poverty of the alley.

The catkins flying in Beijing, the peonies in Luoyang, the hibiscus clusters in Chengdu, and the coconut groves in Hainan are not as expensive as the French plane trees in Shanghai. They quietly embrace the black copper lamps on the roadside, and embrace the lonely traveler at night. Embracing people who can't sleep in the middle of the night, they gently cover the dense branches and leaves in the lighted windows in the night, as if protecting a moving secret.

I was lying on the bed with a half-read foreign novel by my hand, and I couldn’t sleep—whenever I was insomnia, I would steal an obscure foreign tome from Nanxiang’s bookshelf In a novel, after turning two pages, I immediately fall asleep, which is better than sleeping pills, but now, even my trump card is useless.

It's been like this these days, to be precise, it's been like this since the last time I had a big fight with Gu Li in the company.I recalled that dusk scene time and time again, the dense twilight, the red corridor illuminated by the security lights, the bloody footprints on Gu Li's high-heeled shoes, the scarlet flooded on the marble, at the bottom of the dream, in the dream At the very edge of the dream, in the shallowest part of the dream, even when I was awake, Gu Li's back clearly appeared on my retina, and her gradually receding figure shrunk and shrunk until it finally turned into a black steel rod. The needles go into my chest, and every breath hurts.

Thinking about it carefully, the day Ye Chuanping became the general manager of our company would definitely be among the top three most unlucky days in my life.

At the meeting table, Ye Chuanping humiliated my low-level mistakes in front of everyone. She told everyone with a weasel face that "low-level assistants don't need to participate in future meetings."

Gong Ming looked at me like looking at a mental patient, without saying a word, his eyes were filled with pity and a kind of gray tiredness, I know, that color is called "giving up".

Kitty made a concluding statement to me coldly. From the middle of her lips painted with bright red lipstick, she softly spit out three words, "You are sick".

Then, in my voice of "you deserve it", Gu Li left me with a back.

My misfortune didn't end, on the contrary, it just started, I think I just answered the sentence "you deserve it".

A series of retribution begins with the elevator leaving the office building after get off work.The elevator stopped in the middle of the twelfth and thirteenth floors and got stuck.The maintenance worker pried open the door and asked me to climb to the upper floor. Two maintenance workers in coveralls looked like wretched men in Japanese pornography, happily standing on the thirteenth floor and waiting. Looking at me, they think this is a very simple thing.How can I explain to them that for a woman wearing a tight business dress and stiletto heels, the difficulty is similar to asking them to climb the Oriental Pearl Tower with bare hands-of course, like Gu Li and Kitty who can wear 14cm stiletto heels to hurdle Not including the professional players, they have experienced many battles since they were young, and they are like walking on the ground. Their high-heeled shoes are so easy and comfortable that people are very sure that they are stepping on them whether they are sleeping or bathing, surfing or diving. A pair of dagger-like murder weapons, if you insist that they came out of the womb wearing high heels, I might believe it if you say it a few times.

When I climbed up in disgrace, two burly workers rushed to me and said, "Okay, miss, you just need to go down the thirteenth floor and you can go home." ——Look, they also think it's as simple as reaching for a glass door.I took off my shoes and opened the door to the dark escape stairwell.

Later, on my way home, a taxi whizzed past a puddle of water on the side of the road, and a row of vertical walls of water hit my body. When typhoon "Compass" landed in Shanghai, the huge waves The impact on the flood control wall was not as violent.I felt like Bai Suzhen, who was knocked out of her body by the huge waves in "Green Snake", completely forgot to react, and stayed on the side of the road like a wooden chicken.On the contrary, it was the aunts behind me who were returning home with vegetables, screaming and immersing themselves, as if they were the ones who were splashed.

Then, I opened the bag and was about to wipe my wet face with a tissue. When I was searching, the phone fell out of the bag and fell to the ground. The LCD screen cracked a spider web.The screen swished off, and it looked like it was struggling to say goodbye to me.

At this time, I was a little happier.I think that after people encounter a series of endless, high-intensity, high-frequency, high-quality blows, they will have a feeling of Meng Jiangnu crying the Great Wall, and she will die together after crying round after round. I even think that it can be even more unlucky what?Can it be more dramatic?If you have the ability, drive a sprinkler truck to the sidewalk and run me over on the spot. Let my body be displayed in the melody of "Happy Birthday to You" and be remembered and paid tribute by international friends from all over the world who came to visit the World Expo.dare?Can?

When I got home and opened the door, the ruthless God told me clearly and unquestionably, like the spokesperson of China Mobile: "I can."

Nan Xiang took the "ME" envelope that I was very familiar with - I would send out no less than ten such envelopes every day - and opened it with a complicated expression, and then handed the contents to me, like a sad Like a judge handing a death sentence to a disheartened prisoner.

This is not the final blow, any concert has an encore, which is the ending climax of emotions brewing until tears and noses fly, and the crowd sings together.

The encore song that day was the phone ringing suddenly. Nan Xiang walked to the edge of the sofa and answered the phone: "Well, she's here." Then she looked at me and said, "I'm looking for you. It's Chong... Lu burn."

I suddenly remembered that I should be in the movie theater with him at this moment. We made an appointment to get off work and he was waiting for me downstairs. After I walked out of the safe passage of the stairs, I completely forgot about this matter and left directly company.I left Sogo alone in the company.

I answered the phone, and when I heard his low and gentle voice coming into my ears from the microphone, my tears flowed down my face.

That night, Nan Xiang and I sat in the living room waiting for Gu Li to come home, but as the night outside the window grew darker and fewer passers-by, the bustling West Nanjing Road finally fell asleep, and Gu Li still did not come back.Nanxiang and I felt more and more guilty as time went by.

"Do you think Gu Li will not be able to withstand the blow and do something stupid?" I nestled in the sofa, holding the FENDI sofa cushion that was equal to my monthly salary, and asked Nan Xiang tremblingly.

"Are you talking about Gu Li? Or are you talking about Lin Daiyu?" Nan Xiang, with disheveled hair, looked like a goblin in Pansi Cave, "Even if she wants to do something stupid, she will pour a cup of hot coffee on someone who is trying to jump in line." Young man’s head, or go to Hang Lung’s LV window and bring back a suitcase.”

I thought about it, and it was right.Ordinary people are in a bad mood or suffer a blow, and they always use wine to drown their sorrows and get drunk, but when Gu Li is in a bad mood, he pours red wine down Tang Wanru's throat with his own hands, glass by glass, and then I feel better.

That night, Nan Xiang and I waited on the sofa, and I don't know when we fell asleep.We ended up sleeping in the living room for the night.

When I woke up in the morning, my whole body was sore. When I opened my eyes, I saw Gu Li standing in front of me. She was holding a shining scalpel (...) in her hand, facing me, her eyes were bare Shooting is like a mouse spirit who has been practicing for thousands of years: "Say it, you want to peel the skin, or leave it whole."

Early in the morning, I hadn’t even wiped my eyes and my mind was still awake. When I suddenly faced such a cruel and serious torture, I blurted out from the bottom of my heart: “For the sake of our friends for many years,” I hugged Holding Gu Li's waist, Da Yi said solemnly, "Can you kill Nan Xiang first?!"

"..." Nan Xiang on the other side of the sofa also woke up, but early in the morning, the first sentence she heard was "Can you kill Nan Xiang first?" It's not going well.

"I just fried poached eggs and made a sandwich. Do you want to peel the bread and cut the sides, or keep it whole?" Gu Li smiled at me mysteriously and dignifiedly, like the Mona Lisa holding a scalpel.After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into the kitchen with a twist—early in the morning, she was already fully armed, wearing a black cashmere tight dress with a pair of dark gold threads, and a low-waisted slit at the back. In a vacuum, it can be seen that she is not wearing a bra (but I believe she must have tape on her chest, and there must be two Nu Bra tied to the tape), and a pair of dark blue suede stilettos on her feet (the ones that appeared The scissors-like Miu Miu on the huge curtain wall in front of Portman), with an unusually avant-garde hairpin in her hair, it looks like she has an oriental pearl on her head.

Trembling, I moved to Nan Xiang and asked her very seriously: "I feel like she poisoned the poached egg, what do you think?"

Nan Xiang shook her head, her brows were deeply locked: "No, she just put a poached egg in the poison..." After finishing speaking, she turned her head, and while rubbing her fluffy hair, she used her Whether it's three o'clock in the morning or seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang's delicate face is still charming and seductive, and he said to me, "Lin Xiao, you should go take a shower and brush your teeth first, you smell like Tang Wanru when she was in the third year of high school. The only difference between you and the cotton vest that was put in the drawer for a week and forgotten to take back after the game is that you haven’t grown mold yet.”

"It's so early in the morning, what's the good thing? I heard my name." Tang Wanru appeared on the sofa like a ghost, no one saw her movements clearly, she seemed to be teleporting over here.She was lying on her side like Cleopatra, lying between Nan Xiang and me, and she was wearing a vest.

"Nanxiang said I smell like your vest." I said sadly.

Tang Wanru nodded, stroked my hair, looked at Nanxiang again, and said calmly: "After so many years, Nanxiang is the best at complimenting people. An understatement will make everyone's heart sweet."

Nan Xiang and I stood up decisively and left.Cherish life, stay away from just like.

The sound of knives and forks rubbing ceramic plates always sounds a sense of horror.Every time I hear this sound, my scalp instantly tightens, feeling like I've got a super-tight ponytail that's about to pull me into a phoenix-eyed ponytail.Similar sounds include scratching a blackboard with nails, scratching an enamel bowl with an iron spoon, rubbing balloons with hands... and Tang Wanru reciting poems.

Nan Xiang and I sat across from Gu Li silently.We looked at Gu Li with evil intentions, she was calm and composed, her seal was shiny, her eyes were downcast, she was kind and compassionate, she looked like Avalokitesvara eating breakfast.Can you imagine, it's too scary: a mouse spirit with naked eyes sits on a lotus seat and smiles with downcast eyes.

After Gu Li finished eating the poached egg in front of her, she wiped her mouth and began to reprimand me and Nan Xiang.The whole process lasted for 10 minutes, without any pauses or logical errors, and the tone was steady without ups and downs.The complaints against Nanxiang mainly focus on several aspects, such as "Why don't you come to me when you have difficulties? What's the use of looking for Lin Xiao? Since college, she is the best at messing up my well-planned things. The only thing she is good at is that she can continue to scream at high decibels when she sees cockroaches, so as to scare off the opponent. It is only wise to ask her for help when you can't find the evil spirit." Another example, "And what can a temporary exhibition assistant do? Don't say temporary, it is a formal assistant, and it is not like Lin Xiao, who walks all over Shanghai in high heels every day looking for coffee that can break out of purple color, or for Play jazz music on the potted plant raised by Gong Ming. Which thing sounds like it was done by a human?” Another example, “Aren’t I a kind and gentle person? (Nan Xiang: ‘…’) You ask When I asked for help, did I reject you even once? (Nan Xiang: '...') Do I look like an unreasonable, indifferent and paranoid person? (Nan Xiang: '...') What's wrong with me I will..."

But when it was my turn, it became very simple and concentrated. To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: "Lin Xiao, your IQ can only be used to feed chickens." Of course, she demonstrated this from the front, the back, and the side. Arguments, citing scriptures, presenting facts, and reasoning. In the end, I agree with myself. Many times, I couldn’t help but want to get up and find a small blue and white floral handkerchief to wrap my hair, and then hold a pot of rice to scatter in the chicken coop.

During the whole process, Tang Wanru was like a Buddha, sitting heavily next to Gu Li without saying a word.She smashed the boiled eggs on hand, and dipped the eggs in tomato sauce to eat, which looked special... special.

While Gu Li was talking, Nan Xiang and I got better and better. (…) Her bloody lips were tossing back and forth like a piranha constantly spraying out sulfuric acid, and Nan Xiang and I looked happy in the mist of sulfuric acid Extremely, the expression is like a sunflower welcoming the warm morning light.

Because we all know Gu Li too well, when she is still willing to humiliate you, when she is still willing to throw all kinds of endless and creative curse words at you, then, in her heart, she still regards you as her dearest people.If one day, she starts to be polite and courteous to you, like a Japanese doll with a set etiquette program, when every move is decent and not rude, that is when she is about to leave you.

Just when Nan Xiang and I were about to burst into tears and felt relieved, Gu Yuan came out of the room. He looked at us with a vague warmth, not clear enough, full of ambiguity and complexity. A discordant melody suddenly appeared in the movie-like scene of our sisterly love, so Gu Li stopped, turned his head, and looked at him with a smile.

"Why did you get up so early?" Gu Yuan smiled unnaturally, looking at Gu Li with a kind of humility and flattery in his eyes.

"Well, yes, get up for breakfast. Do you need some?" Gu Li looked at Gu Yuan, smiling politely and beautifully, her eyes shining under the delicate makeup, exuding glass beads, empty Light.

My heart suddenly sank.

In the days after that day, the extremely polite confrontation between Gu Li and Gu Yuan did not stop.In fact, it can't be called a confrontation. To be precise, it should be Gu Li unilaterally isolating Gu Yuan from his own world, and pushing him to a farther place with force day by day.

Nan Xiang and I saw all this silently. Many times, we couldn't help but want to lend a helping hand, but we always rein in the precipice and the prodigal son turns back.The conflict between us and Gu Li has just been resolved. Even if we want to catch fire, we have to wait until we have all put on our firefighting suits. Otherwise, with Gu Li's power, Nan Xiang and I can turn into a firefighter in a few seconds. A pile of ashes enshrined in a ceramic box.

However, Nan Xiang and I still have a conscience, and we know that there is nothing wrong with Gu Yuan in this matter.It was not Gu Yuan's fault that Ye Chuanping was able to sit on the chair in the middle of the "ME" board of directors calmly as if she was in and out of her own living room.I believe that the ghost of Gong Xun must be shining behind this supernatural event.Therefore, Nan Xiang and I made a silent plan. After a while, when the two of us are safe, we will go out and bring the two of them back together.In the past years, we have done too much of this kind of thing. Practice makes perfect.In this regard, it is not modest to say that Nan Xiang and I are skilled workers.The big deal is just like in college, creating opportunities to make them weak, sick, and frustrated, turning off the air conditioner or pushing them into the lake, the old rules and the old style, just change the object to Gu Yuan.

After several days of torrential rain, finally ushered in a sunny Saturday.

Because of the summer vacation, the whole of Shanghai was full of people. Tourists from all over the world took advantage of the school holidays and brought their children to enjoy the scenery of Shanghai before the end of the Expo.The entire Bund is densely packed with people, not much different from the train station during the Spring Festival travel season.Gu Li was in an extremely bad mood, and what she hated the most was children: "I would rather tourists from other places bring explosives or sulfuric acid bottles to visit Shanghai, and don't bring children. How much they hate Shanghai!"

The Bund, where every inch of land is expensive, has now become a paradise for ordinary people. The Bund No. 1 to Bund No. 27, which used to be proud of the world, now looks like a peerless woman who has wandered from the palace to the mortal world, and anyone can watch it.You see, the world is like this.Feng Shui turns, no matter how powerful the tiger is, it may fall into Pingyang and be chased by dogs, and no matter how powerful the phoenix is, it may fall into Yanliu Lane and become a wandering warbler.

In front of the newly renovated Peace Hotel, the doorman in a high-end suit was frowning, because the swarm of tourists turned the entire lobby of the hotel into a Carrefour during discounts. What’s worse, these tourists came in just to take pictures and souvenirs. There is still turnover, and the Peace Hotel at this moment can't wait to close the door, and you must swipe your bank card to enter the door.

However, this city always has a way to show its cruel side. The newly completed Roosevelt Club at No. 27 on the Bund, the family of the former American president, is now settled here. It costs 18" filter, so you can still sit alone on the sunny terrace on the Bund during the peak tourist period, overlooking the entire Huangpu River, and watching all kinds of strange architectural streamers like a Rubik's cube on the opposite side The color is overflowing, and then I sigh that the heights are too cold.

On such a sunny weekend, Nan Xiang decided to trim his hair.This can be called a historic moment, because as far as I can remember, Nan Xiang has not touched her black and bright evocation banner since high school.If she hadn't agreed to Gu Li's arrangement and decided to enter "ME" as an art editor, then I believe that this hair would accompany her every battle to conquer men before she fell gracefully into her grave.

For this decision, Gu Li, Tang Wanru, I, and I all happily accompanied us there.Needless to say, Tang Wanru, as long as she does not violate the country's constitution, she is "willing to go", we don't have to worry about her refusing, what we need to worry about is that she should not be "too happy".But Gu Li agreed after thinking about it, which surprised Nan Xiang and me.However, I understand in my heart that since graduating from university, there have been fewer and fewer opportunities for the four of us to get together. Beautiful?
However, there is one thing that Nan Xiang and I must tell Gu Li in advance.Nan Xiang took out two appointment cards and vouchers from her bag, and said to Gu Li: "This new store opened, and my college classmate asked me to go. She said that I don't need money for the first time, but this store... ..." Nan Xiang took a deep breath, held Gu Li's hand, and continued sadly: "This store is in Pudong! Gu Li, you should have thought it through!"

Gu Li's face was pale and worried: "As soon as I leave Central, I will be allergic."

I hugged Gu Li's shoulders in pity: "Be strong!"

Gu Li was sitting in her BMW, with a solemn and solemn expression like a martyr who was rushing towards the enemy camp with a pack of explosives.Tang Wanru was very considerate, sitting next to her all the time, holding her hand, and whispering in her ear repeatedly: "Gu Li, relax, relax... Take a deep breath... Feel it, don't be afraid, take a deep breath, exert yourself... ..." I listened for a few minutes and kept thinking she was going to say "spread your legs" next.

Gu Li didn't answer Tang Wanru, her painful pupils were sweeping back and forth across the wide avenue in Pudong, the tall office buildings, the few pedestrians, the protective fences in the middle of the road, the flying dust and the concrete road full of greenery... She sighed and said, "It's terrible, it's terrible... How much like Beijing here!"

When I arrived at the door of the newly opened barber shop, I looked up and saw a row of fashionable illustrations on the huge storefront wall. In the picture, several fashionable beach boys were holding surfboards, beach volleyballs, flippers, etc. Standing side by side, their muscular bodies, washboard-like abs and faces that look like they were carved out of European and American idols are enough to be absolutely attractive to the girls walking on the street.The huge light board on the store door is the English word "BEACH BOY".

"BITCH BOY? A bitch boy? This shop is too bold. Now that the anti-three vulgar rumors are so tight, why didn't your classmate be turned down? Is there someone above? It must be the leg of some high-ranking official." Tang Wanru raised her head. , Looking at the two English words, while reading, said worriedly.

The three of us, Gu Li Nanxiang and I, took out our sunglasses and put them on silently, then we walked into the shop with quicker pace and walked away from her.

As soon as he entered the store, Nanxiang's university classmates greeted him like an autumn chrysanthemum: "Oh, my big beauty Nanxiang, what wind brought you here?" He was wearing a suit with vertical stripes, Looks like an anxious zebra on the wrong drug, I can understand that since being on ME I see these PRs all the time and they keep this high four voice all the time, Whether they just woke up or just lay down after a busy day, as soon as the phone call comes, or they meet a "potential customer", their voices can quickly adjust to this frequency, and no matter what they say, they can maintain this frequency. With a touch of horror and excitement, every sentence starts with "Oh my God!" and ends with "Really?"

——My God, your mother is in the hospital?real or fake? !
—God, why are you here?Are you out shopping too?real or fake? !
——God, you take your dog to bathe, I also bathe my dog ​​in that pet store, is it true? !
—God, your aunt got breast cancer too?My aunt just died too!real or fake? !
——My God, you are doing PR now too?real or fake? !
Nan Xiang pulled the anxious zebra over and introduced to us: "This is my classmate, Eric. Eric, these three are my good friends, we are all from the same university, this is Lin Xiao, this is Tang Wanru, this is Gu Li."

Eric's eyes flicked across Tang Wanru quickly, then stayed on me for two or three seconds, and then continued to look at Gu Li. The moment he saw Gu Li, his eyeballs were like light bulbs plugged in. Then lit up.

"Oh my God, it's Gu Li, is it real or not?! We took a public class together, "Research on Modern Social Structure", and I sat in front of you. Do you remember me?" Eric obviously took Gu Li The lock became his "potential customer", so he quickly adjusted to his professional voice.I slightly shook my head regretfully, and didn't intend to tell him that Gu Li was a person who thought he would be allergic when he came to Pudong.At the same time, she also thinks that answering the phone in Pudong will be considered a long-distance roaming fee.She also thinks there is no subway in Pudong.When she heard that the number of fashion brands surpassed that of Hang Lung gathered in the IFC in Pudong, she said with an expression of disbelief: "What's wrong with those people?" "

Gu Li took off his sunglasses and looked at Eric with a fake smile on his face, which looked like an empty mineral water bottle.She maintained that smile in embarrassment until it turned into two nasolabial folds on her mouth, and she didn't say anything.

"You really don't remember me?" Eric put on a "professional" expression of great disappointment, with coquettishness in the disappointment, joy in the coquettishness, and complaint in the joy.

"Did I tell you not to stand up straight in class, or if I blocked me from copying notes, I would rub chewing gum into your hair?" Gu Li tilted his head, as if lost in memory.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Eric looked as if he had been beaten suddenly.

Nan Xiang and I looked at each other with a smile and shrugged our shoulders.

"Oh, I remembered." Gu Li suddenly realized, and then answered without thinking, "Then you are here to wash people's hair now?"

Eric froze for two seconds as if someone had shot him in the temple, and then he came back to life and said, "Gu Li, you can really joke, I'm here as a business supervisor."

"Store supervisor?... It sounds like your career is not going well. What is this title for? Teaching people how to wash their hair?" Gu Li scanned the store and asked very naturally.

Nan Xiang handed the voucher to one of the clerks. I knew that she wanted to cut her hair quickly before Gu Li pissed off her classmate and Eric declared the voucher invalid.

When I saw Nan Xiang's eyes, I understood her main idea, so I dragged Gu Li and Tang Wanru into the room.Nan Xiang felt relieved and went to wash his hair.

There were neither too many nor too many people in the store, so I took Gu Li and walked for a while, and walked around to the manicure area.Anyway, you have to pass the time waiting here. Besides, there are few people in this area, and you can sit on the sofa and listen to music and flip through magazines. Full of broken diamonds, stretching out ten fingers can light up the night, or do you want to make your nails into your personal weapon so that you can release half a liter of blood with a poke when you encounter gangsters, manicurists can do it.

"Why don't you do a nail treatment." I grabbed Gu Li and stretched my chin towards the row of colorful nail polishes.

"Alright," Gu Li took the opportunity to sit down, looked down at my hands, "Your hands should be tidied up, what should I say? These hands look a little too hardworking, I don't know your people, I thought you just harvested two acres of land in your hometown. Hurry up and do some hand care, Chaihuo girl."

I sat down with extremely complicated emotions.I was not convinced, and said, "Don't underestimate the chaihuo girls. The countryside is modernized now, and harvesters are used to harvest wheat. Their hands are more juicy than those in big cities."

Tang Wanru nodded in support of me: "Lin Xiao is right, I often see this kind of exciting picture in the central three sets of "Approaching Science", in the endless green fields, the steel giants are spinning gears, clattering Yes, countless wheat was harvested into the carriage." Tang Wanru spoke very emotionally, as if reciting a primary school Chinese textbook.But her longing eyes suddenly hesitated, and then she asked us very confused, "But I have always been curious, you said that in the big paddy field in the wilderness, where are the plugs for those machines to be turned on?"

Gu Li and I put on our sunglasses in silence again.

The blind Gu Li wanted to send Tang Wanru away, so she pulled her very kindly, and said, "Ruru, look, this place is so big, you can take a stroll, find some service items to make yourself beautiful." Get up, get young. Don't worry about us, we can take care of ourselves. While you are still young, it's time to live for yourself! Go, Rumei!" I looked at Gu Li, she spoke with emotion She is sensible, I think she is almost moved by herself.

Tang Wanru agrees very much, it looks like she said it from the bottom of her heart.She said: "Yes, after so many years of sports training, everyone says that I look older than you, and I look older than my actual age. Gu Li, there are so many sports here, what do you think I am going to do? How can I make my appearance match my age?"

Gu Li pondered for a while, and said very seriously: "Change the date of birth on your ID card to 1974."

Tang Wanru: "..."

After Gu Li and I finished our nails, the two of us, like crabs, spread our fingers apart vigorously, and walked to find Nan Xiang with claws and teeth.Nan Xiang has already finished washing her hair, and she is sitting next to the barber, waiting for her hair to be cut. Her jet-black hair has a high-grade inkstone luster after washing, and she looks like a court lady in a picture of a lady. As soft and moving.

Gu Li and I were sitting beside her with a calm expression but a weird posture. We stretched out our ten fingers with all our strength and swung them a few times from time to time to let the nails dry as soon as possible, which made us look like Two people dancing jazz.And Tang Wanru stood behind us with his hips crossed, looking like a city manager.

The barber put a bib around Nan Xiang's neck and asked, "Beauty, what kind of hair do you want?"

"Fashionable!" I rushed to say, "but not too fashionable."

barber:"……"

"To be seductive!" Tang Wanru leaned closer, narrowed her eyes, and said as if she was an expert, "But don't be too tempting!"

barber:"……"

"It has to look professional!" I crossed my hands, "but not too professional."

barber:"……"

At this moment, Gu Li couldn't bear it anymore, she rolled her eyes faintly, with an impatient and disdainful expression on her face, she waved at Tang Wanru and me, signaling us to back down, she was too imposing, Like Wu Zetian, I almost couldn't hold back and said silently in my throat, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Gu Li tossed her hair and said, "Let's put it this way, she needs a hairstyle that can be just enough to seduce straight men when she walks into a party, and at the same time just enough not to arouse the resentment of gays, but at the same time not Arouse the sexual desire of lesbians."

Barber: "I see."

Tang Wanru and I sighed to ourselves.we lose.

Gu Li was even more proud, and she continued to play: "Also, this hairstyle can't be too coquettish or avant-garde, so that it can seduce men in Puxi, but at the same time, in a conservative place like Pudong, you won't be beaten as a slut .”

The barber was a little angry: "You are standing in the barber shop in Pudong now, what do you mean?"

Gu Li nodded: "So you can understand my fear now. How much risk did I take when I came to Pudong and walked out of the inner ring? After Xiao went to Outer Ring to participate in a farmhouse in Laoshizi, it was the biggest adventure in my life. It shows how much I value friendship!"

Me: "... Hurry up and cut it!"

While Nan Xiang’s hair was shortening inch by inch, Tang Wanru sat on the sofa meditating, as if she had entered the world of meditation. (She told me later that she was watching "Approaching Science" on TV...) And I was bored by the side flipping through a gossip magazine, and Gu Li continued to stay by Nan Xiang's side, pointing out the words on Nan Xiang's hair. I watched the barber's face grow paler and I was afraid that he would be good at it. Gu Li's scissors to poke Gu Li - if that happens, then he will die, he will be chewed up by Gu Li and spit into the green belt beside the road to feed the praying mantis.

At this time, my cell phone rang.I clicked on the screen to read the text message, and my whole body jumped up as if someone had stabbed scissors from the back of the neck.I stuffed the phone under Gu Li's nose, and when she saw the content of the text message clearly, I could clearly feel her sucking in a breath of air. It snapped open and closed again.

On the phone screen, Kitty's text message was concise and to the point: "Gong Ming is hospitalized. Hurry up."

I looked at Gu Li and said, "I have to hurry, right?"

Gu Li nodded: "Hurry up. Call me if you have something to do. I have to watch Nanxiang finish cutting. Don't worry about leaving this girl to this man. I'll come to you as soon as I'm done here. "Through her worried face, I could see the hairdresser clenching his teeth and popping his head behind her.

I went out of the store, hurriedly hailed a taxi, and rushed to Puxi city in a hurry.On the wide eight-lane road, there is almost no traffic, the sun is shining brightly, and the world is very clear.I was nestled in the car, and the car was speeding on the road, like a small beetle crawling fast.

And at this moment, on the narrow road in the French Concession in Puxi, under the shade of tall plane trees on both sides, there is another person who is as anxious as I am.He has already called Nanxiang's mobile phone twice, but no one answered.

Nan Xiang looked at the screen of her mobile phone, and an unfamiliar number was flashing. She picked up the mobile phone, tilted the screen towards Gu Li, and said, "I don't know who this person is, but he keeps calling me."

Gu Li said, "Pick it up and ask."

Nan Xiang shook his head: "I don't like to answer calls from strangers, he will send text messages if something really happens."

Gu Li nodded: "I can understand it too. It's not worth wasting long-distance roaming charges for a stranger in Pudong. Hang up." She stretched out her hand and hung up the phone.

Nan Xiang: "..."

The shade of the tree was swaying, and the fine sun spots moved to his face from time to time, and the straight but delicate bridge of the nose raised a sharp outline on his face.He listened to the sound of being hung up on the phone, his face was full of confusion and at the same time a little stubborn.He dialed the number again.

Nan Xiang picked up the phone and sighed: "Is this person too persistent?" Just as he was about to shake his head, the barber pressed him firmly, Nan Xiang handed the phone to Gu Li, "Help me pick it up, Ask who he is."

Gu Li answered the phone, just connected, before he had time to speak, the other party could not suppress the joyful voice from the phone: "Oh, you finally answered, your phone is really difficult to make, follow the lottery winner Same. I asked you to see an art exhibition earlier, remember? I’m in Lu Xun Park now, and there’s an exhibition in the art gallery here, it’s great, would you like to…”

Before the other party finished speaking, Gu Li hung up the phone after saying "Wrong call you".

Under the shade of the tree, the young man's face was full of astonishment. He raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose that seemed to be itchy from the wind, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

After Gu Li hung up the phone, he vaguely felt that the voice sounded familiar.She looked again at the number in the call record on Nanxiang's screen. She took out her mobile phone and dialed that number. She just pressed the green call button, and the string of numbers on the screen quickly changed to two. Chinese characters:
Gu Zhun.

Gu Li turned around and said to Nan Xiang, "I'll go outside and make a call." Then she walked outside the door, and she took out her mobile phone to make a call.

"Gu Zhun, I'm Gu Li. What are you doing? I happen to be fine today, are you outside? Shall we have lunch together?" Gu Li looked at the wide road outside the store, his eyes were shaking violently Squinting under the light, she felt like Bai Suzhen who drank too much realgar wine.

"Oh sister, I just woke up and I haven't woken up yet. I'll call you in the afternoon, I'll sleep again." Gu Zhun was on the other end of the phone, talking lazily, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Li held the phone in his hand, stood for a while, then turned his head and looked back at the store. Nan Xiang, who was sitting in front of the mirror, could vaguely see her shrewd long hair that revealed a strong femininity at the same time. The profile of her face is extremely beautiful, Nan Xiang saw Gu Li in the mirror, she smiled at Gu Li from the reflection of the mirror, half of the sunlight shone on her face, making the other half of her face immersed in the In a slightly dark shadow.

She is as beautiful as an enigma.

As the days passed by in the rising autumn wind, the leaves of the sycamore trees began to turn yellow gradually, and even looked red at dusk.

The wind blows across the city, and is cut into large and small airflows by skyscrapers of various shapes, as if a complete piece of cloth has been cut by countless knives, scattered in all directions, large and small airflows are like trickling water, caressing the city. Every corner, every inch of the ground, in such a caress, the leaves fell to the ground.When the car drove by, it made a sound like a desert.
