A bowl of sweet soup

Chapter 8 Bowl 1 08

All the old classmates know that Tang Xuen and Ji Wei are close.

Not long after Ji Wei returned to China, the two traveled together.Tang Xuen posted the group photo they took after climbing to the top of the mountain on Moments, and someone immediately came to him and asked him: [Shocked!Are you still in contact with Ji Wei? ? 】

Tang Xuen didn't understand what they meant.

why not?

Friends are things that are meant to be made for a lifetime.

Then the other party said awkwardly: [Because Ji Wei gradually stopped contacting everyone after he went to college, and changed after going abroad. It feels like he has evaporated from the world. 】

Tang Xuen: [No, I have been writing letters and talking to him on the phone. 】

And it's not the kind that only contacts once a year or so.

In the past, communication was not well developed. The mobile phone used by Tang Xuen could only send text messages and make calls. He didn't have a computer at home, so it was very troublesome to contact Ji Wei.

Logically, they would lose contact soon, but Ji Wei wrote to him almost as frequently as one or two letters a week——

Tang Xuen didn't have any other friends, he felt that Ji Wei must be alone in a foreign land as a stranger, very lonely, as a good friend, he must take care of Ji Wei's worries!

He didn't find it troublesome at all. On the contrary, he regarded the correspondence with Ji Wei as a massage for his heart. Every time a postman came to deliver a registered letter, he was full of anticipation.

When he is tired from work every day, he sits down for half an hour or an hour to record some trivial things that happened today, or read the books that Ji Wei recommended to him, and discuss his impressions with Ji Wei after reading them.

Only at this time can he escape from the busy and tiring real adult work, take a breath secretly and relax in the friendship world where only he and Ji Wei are alone.

Sending a letter is a relatively cheap way of contacting him. In the first half year when Ji Wei went abroad, Tang Xuen never saw Ji Wei.

He misses Ji Wei very much.

At any rate, when Ji Wei was in college, they could meet each other during the winter and summer vacations.

One day he saw that he could use the computer to video chat, so he took some money out of his meal money, and wrote to ask Ji Wei if they could try this, he wanted to see Ji Wei.

Then on a certain day when he was still working, suddenly, Ji Wei called.

This is very abnormal, Ji Wei knows that he has to work during the day, and considering the time difference, Ji Wei will not call him at this time.

There must be something urgent.

Tang Xuen thought, he wiped his hands and left his business temporarily to answer the phone for the first time. Fortunately, Tang Yuan was helping in the store that day, so he called someone over to take over the spoon.

Hurry up to hear what is urgent about Ji Wei, and he is in such a hurry.

Amidst the noisy voices, he asked, "Hello? What's the matter?"

Overseas calls are very expensive, even though this is Ji Wei's call and he doesn't need to spend money, it still hurts.

Ji Wei said: "I received your latest letter, you said you want to video chat with me on the computer?"

Tang Xuen said, "Yes."

Ji Wei asked: "Don't you have a computer at home? Have you bought a computer?"

Tang Xuen wiped his hands again, glanced at his younger brother, walked away to write, and said in a low voice: "No, I secretly saved some money, I will go to the Internet cafe to video with you."

Tang Xuen felt very ashamed of hiding his private money instead of clinging to his younger brother, but he also has his own life.

Hearing this, Ji Wei laughed lightly, as if he was partnering with him in doing bad things, and lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Well, let's make an appointment."

"I heard the voice of a customer over there, oops, by the way, you are opening a shop now, am I disturbing your business?"

Tang Xuen said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a phone call, it won't affect anything."

Ji Wei calmed down, regained his senses, and said happily: "I should have called you when you were resting, I'm sorry. I received a letter just now and saw what you said. I was so excited, I didn't expect anything else. , called you directly."

"Xiao Xu, I miss you very much."

Tang Xuen replied, "Me too."

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, Tang Xuen still feels that their friendship is like a strong thread, keeping them as good friends together.

Ten years in the blink of an eye.

So, after Ji Wei returned to China, when the two met again, Tang Xuen didn't feel strange to each other at all.

When he picked Ji Wei up at the airport, the two still talked about everything.

The only difference is that he thinks that Ji Wei is more fashionable than when he was a student when he went abroad, and his clothes are more stylish than the male stars in movies and magazines. mature masculinity.

He was back on track, and he didn't know anything other than burying himself in his small business and becoming a petty citizen.

Ji Wei has several years of professional experience in famous companies abroad. After returning to China, he directly took over the family's company and made rapid progress. He can be called young and promising.

What followed was that Tang Xuen, who had no one to care about among his old classmates, suddenly had a lot of "friends" who cared. Of course, they all started to ask Ji Wei about things after a few words of concern.

Gradually, using Tang Xuen as a bridge, Ji Wei sometimes went to participate in activities of some old classmates, all with Tang Xuen.

This time is no exception.

The wedding banquet will be held in a five-star hotel.

The specially selected auspicious day starts at 12:[-] noon.

It's Saturday, in order to take care of the guest's time, it's better not to ask for leave, and that person came more fully.

However, for Tang Xuen, this is still a working day, and it is still a busy day.

Fortunately, the university was on vacation, and the two younger brothers were at home, and Meng Tianyou also came over today, saying that he happened to be free and came to help his brother-in-law.

Tang Xuen felt very uneasy when he thought of finding this guy's net worth billions of dollars on the Internet, but Xiao Yuan cheerfully said that it was all right, so he still nodded.

In the past two days, Tang Xuen received survey feedback about Meng Tianyou from Ji Wei: never married, no ex-girlfriend, nor ex-boyfriend, both parents died, and a widow, but I heard that he has a bad temper. Scary boss.

Then they learned that Meng Tianyou's company was the sponsor of Tang Yuan's scientific research project before, and the two probably met because of this.

Well... it seems that there is no other problem except being a little old.

Being old wasn't too much of a problem, Meng Tianyou wasn't too old.

Let's just wait and see.

Tang Xuen feels that he has a magical intuition, he can judge whether a person is good or bad by instinct, if he thinks that the other person is not good, he will not force himself to socialize with others, and then silently break off the relationship.

Meng Tianyou didn't give him that disgusting feeling, so he shouldn't be a bad person.

Before leaving for the wedding banquet, he also saw Meng Tianyou wearing an apron, his appearance was quite funny.

He only glanced at it, then withdrew his eyes, thinking that Ji Wei would come to help him when he was free, lending a hand or something.

Especially during the summer vacation after graduating from high school, Ji Wei was busy in his shop every day. For this reason, he was asked by customers if they opened a brother shop, thinking that Ji Wei was also a child of their family.

Tang Xuen wanted to pay Ji Wei, but Ji Wei refused to take it, and said with a dark face that he looked down on his friends by giving the money.Thinking about it, too, Ji Wei, a rich young master, how could he be short of his little money, just because people don't need it doesn't mean he can justly refuse to give it.

How dare Tang Xuen give it?

Favor, favor.

Love is the most precious thing in this world.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't remember exactly how much favor he owed Ji Wei.

I don't know if I still have to pay it off in this life.

After thinking about it, he walked out of the alley and saw a car parked by the side of the road.

Ji Wei stood by the car and waited for him.

Tang Xuen approached, and Ji Wei opened the door for him.

Tang Xuen naturally sat in the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and then thought about it, wait, why is he used to Ji Wei taking care of him?

Just thinking about the beginning, without any reason, Ji Wei said: "I have to go back to the company after dinner later, do you want to go with me? Or stay and catch up with them?"

Tang Xuen asked, "When are you going back?"

Ji Wei said: "About a little bit, I have to go back to the company before 01:30."

"Oh," Tang Xuen remembered, "then you still have to drive and work, so it's not good to drink."

Ji Wei said: "Yes. Drink less."

Ji Wei's driving skills are very good, even on bumpy roads, he is very stable, and the car is also very tidy, clean and smells good.

What is discordant is that there is a cute bobble pig on the front of the car.

Needless to say, it was given by Tang Xuen.

Tang Xuen could still smell the scent of men's cologne on Ji Wei's body, which was cold and luxurious, with a subtle fragrance floating.

For some reason, Tang Xuen blushed silently again.

It was because that dream was so real, even the fragrance in the dream was so real, lingering in his nostrils, the charming phantom fragrance could not go away.

Every night recently, when he closed his eyes, this dream fragment appeared.

Wake up feeling ashamed.

It is probably because he has been single for too many years that he is so shameless that he even thinks about his male friends.

After waiting for a red light, when the green light turned on, Ji Wei asked suddenly: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me all the time, do you have something to say?"

When Ji Wei said this, he didn't turn his head, and didn't roll his eyes, but he seemed to be watching his every move, knowing everything about him like the palm of his hand.

Ah, has he been watching Ji Wei?It was only then that Tang Xuen realized that it was true, he was fascinated by it.He said, "It's all right."

Ji Wei turned his head and smiled at him: "Then why do you look at me? Because I'm handsome?"

Tang Xuen hesitated and said: "Yes, yes, you are very good-looking. Don't look at me, just drive."

Ji Wei turned back, he looked ahead, his eyes were a little lonely, he looked at the edge of the steering wheel with his fingers, exhaled through his nose, and murmured to himself: "What's the use of looking good."

Why is it useless?Tang Xuen thought to himself, but Ji Wei is not in the same class as him in essence, and he has no way to empathize with Ji Wei and solve his problems because of the many troubles at work.So Tang Xuen didn't say anything.

The bride and groom are both their junior high school classmates. They secretly fell in love when they were teenagers, and they have been in love for many years.

A gentle and shallow smile appeared on Tang Xuen's face: "Congratulations, congratulations, I wish you love each other and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Ji Wei also smiled, and said, "Congratulations on your wedding."

The groom smiled like a flower, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Haha, thank you, thank you, you two are busy people, I thought maybe I might not be able to invite you, thank you for your support. Hurry up Sit inside, at the table of your classmates."

Tang Xuen still likes the traditional paper red envelope gift money, and gave the red envelope to the place where the couple's family is responsible for recording the guest list.

The other party glanced at the words written on it and said, "You guys gave it together?"

Tang Xuen: "Yes."

Before getting out of the car, Ji Wei said that he did not bring a red envelope, and directly took out a stack of pink banknotes from his wallet, saying that he would stuff it into his red envelope, write his name on it, and count the two of them together as a red envelope.

Tang Xuen somewhat felt that it was a bit inappropriate, that kind of... Married couples only give red envelopes together.

But Ji Wei said: "Everyone knows that we are close friends, so it's not surprising that we give together."

Tang Xuen thought about it and agreed.

Then sign the guest list, he writes first, and Ji Wei writes later.

Ji Wei's name is next to his name.Both of them have pretty good calligraphy, and Tang Xuen thinks it's the result of several years of paper-and-pen communication, and it's outstanding and beautiful on the sign-in booklet.

but--

What to say?

Tang Xuen looked at the other people who had already signed on the list. The couple really didn't sign so closely.

Always feel weird.

The author has something to say:

Ji Wei: No matter how tricky you are, it's useless to meet a piece of wood.
