Chapter 46 Good Friends (2) If the groom is Xu Shen, you remember...

Zhang Youqing lit a cigarette for herself.

She asked Li Su to stand at the source of the wind to avoid the smoke from blowing into Li Su.

Nicotine rushed into Zhang Youqing's lungs. She slowly calmed down and began to recount the story to Li Su.

"The speculation first came out because in Xu Shen's office, where he could see it as soon as he looked up, there was a pair of LV white shoes on display. Some people said that it was a gift from Lu Jiayi when he was in high school."

Li Su blinked. "LV Trainer Maxi Fatty? But Xu Shen has already paid her back for the shoes."

"Ah? She was a purchasing agent in high school?" Zhang Youqing complained, then realized that this was not the point, so she waved her hand. "It's mainly because this thing got spread, and everyone started to speculate."

"Five years ago, Lu Jiayi, who came back from the UK, went to Hangzhou for a trip. It was only after I started to get to know you that I slowly realized that those days were also your birthday."

Ah - Li Su also remembered this incident.

Because it was her birthday.

Because it was Li Su's first birthday spent alone in another city.

That year, when Li Su saw that the address in Lu Jiayi's Moments was Hangzhou, she was secretly excited.

On the one hand, she reminded herself that Lu Jiayi probably didn't remember her birthday, but on the other hand, she was secretly looking forward to it, what if.

After reminding herself again and again "don't expect", she secretly looked forward to it again and again.

Li Su knew that Lu Jiayi usually got up very late, so at noon that day, she specially invited her roommates to have dinner together. In the evening, she stayed in the dormitory and didn't go anywhere, waiting for news.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of being too sentimental, Li Su did not take the initiative to contact Lu Jiayi.

But she was not without preparation. She took out the New Year's money and left enough 10,000 yuan. She thought that Lu Jiayi could eat anywhere he wanted and she would pay the bill. She did

n't have to be the birthday girl, she could be the host. She

didn't need Lu Jiayi to give her a gift. Lu Jiayi came all the way to see her, which was good enough.

That day, she waited for a long time. When the lights were turned off in the dormitory, the cold wind was biting in the dark dormitory, making people dizzy.

Li Su did not wait for news until Lu Jiayi left.

It was that day that Li Su began to understand and accept: she was once Lu Jiayi's playmate. Now, she has expired and has been completely forgotten.

Putting aside personal subjective feelings and analyzing rationally, the 19-year-old Li Su believes that she should not be sad, just as she intuitively feels that she and Lu Jiayi are not friends.

But...but...

Since Lu Jiayi broke into her world one day in the second semester of high school, she has been around Li Su almost every day for a whole year. She

went to and from school with Li Su and asked Li Su to go out to play on weekends. Lu Jiayi is brilliant, but also full of thorns.

It is Lu Jiayi's dominance that makes Li Su's originally simple and unpretentious friends avoid him.

Li Su, who is used to having friends around, looked back countless times in the loneliness of growing up.

She looked around and felt a little lonely.

She endured and endured, but still couldn't help but extended her hand to Lu Jiayi.

Because - there was only Lu Jiayi.

Gradually, until that incident happened, until Lu Jiayi went abroad to study. Lu Jiayi naturally became the only companion around Li Su.

A year, the large shadow of Lu Jiayi in the memory made Li Su have illusions.

Li Su secretly thought countless times: What if? What if?

But what is what if?

What if is - she is just an insignificant person that Lu Jiayi flirted with when he was free. What if is

- there is no what if.

Those feelings are already far away, like a white shirt that has become old under the sun. Li Su looked at it from afar and could no longer remember the love and hate.

Li Su stared at Zhang Youqing and slowly replied: "I remember that she didn't come to see me that day."

"Li Su, you don't know a lot of things." Zhang Youqing's tone was almost certain, the cigarette at her fingertips flickered, she took a deep breath, and between puffs of smoke, she let out a long sneer.

"On your birthday, Lu Jiayi invited us out to play, eat, drink, sing karaoke, and have a great time. But that day, she was almost out of character and stopped eating at just after eleven o'clock. I was puzzled at the time and was wondering if she was heartbroken."

"Ah?" Li Su was stunned for a moment, realizing the hidden twists and turns in that ordinary day, her brows unconsciously frowned.

Zhang Youqing's eyes were deep, and a hint of sneer appeared on the tip of her nose.

"What's interesting is that on that day, Xu Shen's mother seemed to have fallen from the sky and took her away when she was drunk. It was because of this that we all mistakenly believed that Xu Shen had an affair with her."

Zhang Youqing flicked the ash off her cigarette, took out her mobile phone, and flipped through it for a long time before finding the dynamic that Lu Jiayi had specially posted on that day four years ago. Zhang Youqing

took a step closer to Li Su, tapped the screen with her fingertips in disgust, and handed the phone to Li Su, "Take a look."

Li Su took it and took a closer look.

The mood is: it's also good to return to China.

The photo was accompanied by a photo of her in the car. A heart was drawn on the foggy window. Lu Jiayi's chin was covered with a scarf. She took a photo with the heart and made a "yeah" gesture with a blushing face.

Zhang Youqing emphasized: "This is Xu Shen's car. I saw Xu Shen open the door and throw her into the car with my own eyes."

"Although he didn't say a word and his actions were quite rough, I just thought he was sulking and didn't want to see Lu Jiayi drink so much."

Li Su paused for a moment, she stretched out her hand and enlarged the picture. Some blurred shadows could still be seen as the scenery outside her school.

The circle of friends that she had no impression of at all made Li Su take out her mobile phone and turn to Lu Jiayi's circle of friends, and turn to that day.

Nothing, nothing. This circle of friends, is it invisible to only her?

Li Su looked embarrassed. She thought about it, and thought about it again. She tried to recall everything that happened on her birthday, every detail.

After a long time, Li Su pulled the corners of her mouth, smiling coldly and strangely.

She finally found out who was playing the piano downstairs in the dormitory on her birthday.

It was very late at that time, and just a few minutes before her birthday was about to end, she heard the distant and cheerful Happy Birthday song.

The unexpected timing and the calm and gentle tone of voice made Li Su's heart move.

She straightened her neck and looked outside the cold house.

The wind blew the thick trees as thick as a woman's waist.

It was a little cold, very cold.

The skin will become chapped if blown by the wind, and it will crack if blown for a quarter of an hour. Li Su knew that staying in a warm bed was the best choice.

But she still couldn't help putting on her pajamas, walking down barefoot, putting on slippers, tiptoeing, hunching her neck and pacing to the balcony.

The moment she opened the sliding door, the cold wind blew directly, and slapped her several times.

Li Su couldn't help curling her toes. She wasn't wearing socks, and the wind blew in from her bare heels. In a few moments, her feet lost feeling.

Her teeth were chattering from the cold, and she couldn't stand up, so she curled up and squatted, her heels on the legs of her cotton pajamas, tucking them in, and finally keeping a little warmth.

She sniffed, stuck to the railing, and looked down through the prison-like protection.

In the middle of the dark space, a wooden platform that was easy to move suddenly appeared out of thin air.

There was a black piano on the platform, and an electric candle was on the piano, illuminating the long shadow of the man in black.

He looked very tall, with a straight back and an upright appearance.

The wind whistled and whistled again, piercing into people's joints like a bone scraper.

Li Su's joints were frozen stiff and red, and her perception was dull. She couldn't help but put her hands together, exhaled hot air into her palms, and rubbed her hands together.

She found it incredible. It was so cold, how did that person do it? He played so smoothly, as if he was in a temperature that was like spring all year round.

He played in silence. Until the day was completely over.

He no longer played Happy Birthday. He played several other songs. Those familiar melodies were all songs she used to often sing.

The most familiar melody was "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter".

When the music sounded, circles of fireworks trees lit up next to the piano, surrounding him like shining stars.

It was like a teenage dream, hazy and romantic.

Li Su tilted her head and moved curiously.

But she stood behind him, and no matter how she moved, she couldn't find the right angle to see his face clearly.

The fireworks lit up briefly and then went out.

The remaining white mist of the fireworks blurred his shadow.

Li Su couldn't help but sneeze.

It was too cold, and she couldn't stay there.

There was a hard object in her pajamas pocket that was poking her. She reached in and took it out. It was a lollipop.

Li Su, who had been listening all night, raised her hand through the gap without thinking and threw it towards the shadow.

She threw it very hard because she was not close to the shadow and she was afraid that she could not throw it over.

"Bang-dong--" Li Su did not expect that it was such a coincidence that the hard candy hit the piano keys and ruined the boy's performance.

A sharp and piercing sound was like a scratched face of a beautiful woman.

Li Su was startled and quickly shrank back.

Her heart was beating very fast, and she felt more guilty. Li Su did not dare to stay any longer, and moved back in small steps and went back to the dormitory.

A warm current hit her face, and she could not help shaking, and quickly took off her shoes and got into the warm quilt.

Slowly, she felt the pain of a tearing ankle, and she reached out to touch it and felt wet. Bleeding.

"Hu--" Li Su let out a long breath.

It was a very inconspicuous episode 5 years ago. Thinking about it now, I understand its significance at that time.

After returning the phone to Zhang Youqing, Li Su smiled and said casually, "I know. I understand it completely this time."

Zhang Youqing's eyes flickered slightly. She put out the cigarette butt and said very loyally, "Okay, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing." Li Su looked at her meaningfully. She smiled and emphasized sincerely, "Opening champagne at halftime will make a fool of myself. I'm shy and don't dare to do it."

After talking for so long, Zhang Youqing didn't get any useful information out of him, and she didn't hear any bad words from anyone in Li Su's mouth.

Zhang Youqing admired Li Su's watertightness. She looked Li Su up and down, and after a while, she also laughed, obviously much more relaxed.

In the final analysis, she still had confidence in Li Su. Zhang Youqing nodded affirmatively, "It's better to be more rigorous. Anyway, I won't be fooled by Lu Jiayi again in the future. You, too, should remember to believe Xu Shen."

Li Su looked at Zhang Youqing quietly. After a long while, she nodded obediently.

Li Su actually knew who was good to her, who was sincere, and who was loyal.

For example, Zhang Youqing.

Putting aside interests, or maybe not putting aside interests, it would be the same. Zhang Youqing really regarded Li Su as a friend.

"Youqing, thank you," Li Su smiled lightly, bright and gentle, "When I get married, do you want to be a bridesmaid? It's okay if you don't--" "

If the groom is Xu Shen, you must come and sit at the main table."

"If it's not him, you don't have to come."

Zhang Youqing smiled sincerely, and her body shook with laughter.
