Cheng Mo looked at the time and saw that there were still more than three hours before the five-thirty appointment with Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo. This time was quite embarrassing. When he went back to rest, Cheng Mo felt that there was not enough time. He was used to wearing pajamas at home, so in exchange for

It was a bit troublesome to have to fix my hair. Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, pressed the hands-free button and spoke into the radio on the phone: "Go to the International Finance Center."

Immediately Jiang Jun's calm and serious voice came from the loudspeaker: "Yes."

Cheng Mo knew that he was both Jiang Jun's protection target and his surveillance target, so although the two of them often got along day and night, they were not close at all. He actually didn't like this state of being monitored and having people pay attention to every move he made. However,

But there was nothing he could do. Although it was Xie Minyun's idea to let Jiang Jun protect him, the one who finally decided to send Jiang Jun must be a senior executive of Tai Chi Dragon.

The Rolls-Royce crossed the Xiangjiang River Bridge in the rolling traffic and drove towards the towering glass buildings under the hazy sky. The crowds on May 1st Avenue were dense, passing by the Xinkanghui store where Chengmo signed up for the European Art Tour Summer Camp.

When he went to the travel agency, Cheng Mo couldn't help but cast his eyes over it. The tall green plant tied with red silk beside the transparent glass door looked a little lonely.

He felt that his sight could pass through these obstacles and reach the distant ruins where Xie Minyun was now. He was very surprised why he felt like this, even though the two people had not seen each other for a long time, and they had not even contacted each other.

No, but I don’t feel more and more distant. Instead, an indescribable feeling of longing rises in my heart.

It's like the homesickness that a wanderer in a foreign country feels when wandering.

Cheng Mo seemed to see his destination in a trance, among the surging waves, in the lush forest, in the old building that belonged to him,,,, he looked in that direction for a long time without moving his eyes, until the new

The door of Kanghui Travel Agency completely disappeared from sight.

Jiang Jun drove the car down to the basement of the International Financial Center, stopped at the elevator entrance No. 12, and then quickly got out of the car and opened the door.

Cheng Mo was used to this procedure. After getting off the car, he walked straight into the bright elevator and pressed the up button.

Jiang Jun went to park the car, and Cheng Mo didn't need to care about Jiang Jun's arrangements. In short, Jiang Jun would definitely be near him. So he went upstairs alone and went to Sisyphus Bookstore on the third floor. For Cheng Mo,

, the easiest way to pass the boring time is to go to the bookstore.

After another trip to the elevator, I reached the third floor. I found the bookstore with white luminous letters hanging on the red door. Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" was displayed in the glass window next to the door. Cheng Mo remembered it.

When the month passed, the display in the window was Salin's "The Catcher in the Rye". Both window recommendations were classic books that were more literary and artistic. It seemed that this bookstore called Sisyphus didn't bother to display those bloody books.

Judging from the popular best-selling books in Lintou, Cheng Mo thinks this bookstore is quite tasteful.

Walking into the bookstore, Cheng Mo went directly to the book area. There were long pumpkin-colored paper lanterns hanging inside the bookstore. The light was just a little bright and not dazzling. It was just the right brightness, dim and warm. The long tables that were not used for consumption were already full of people.

, but not everyone is reading, some are playing with their mobile phones, and some are sleeping.

Cheng Mo walked around the book area, picked up a copy of "Us" by Russian writer Eugene Zamyatin, walked to the Vector Cafe, which cost money, found a booth by the window and sat down.

"Flymetothemoon" by Ono Lisa is playing in the red and black cafe. The lazy female voice is like the steamy foam milk floating on the coffee. The low guitar strings and the weeping saxophone sound are like the Italian espresso.

coffee.

Cheng Mo once again improved his evaluation of this bookstore. He felt that the soft music was very suitable. It was not as noisy as pop music and not as serious as classical music. It was just suitable for ordering a cup of coffee and flipping through a paper book.

This is a villa by the sea, with the sun shining slanting and the sea breeze gentle. Sitting across from her is Xie Minyun in a white lace dress, or Teacher Shen in an elegant bohemian dress, or Bai Xiuxiu in a suspender silk pajamas.

That would be really perfect.

Of course, there is something even more perfect, that is, three people sitting across from each other, but Cheng Mo doesn't dare to think about it.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but shook his head, throwing these beautiful fantasies out of his mind. He didn't know when his ideal changed from being a librarian to a librarian with a happy life. Maybe people's hearts are like

In this way, you will never be satisfied.

When the waiter came over, Cheng Mo ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of lemonade. The lemonade was for drinking and the coffee was for smelling. Anyway, the money was so much that it had to be spent within two months. Cheng Mo was already used to using money.

To satisfy all the sensory needs you can think of.

The aroma of coffee lingers under the lights, soothing music flows slowly in the cafe, and Eugene Zamiya's thoughtful words are like sharp knives and guns, breaking through the hypocritical surface of this world, making people unable to bear to put it down.

.

When Cheng Mo was immersed in it, someone suddenly patted his shoulder and said in surprise: "Cheng Mo?"

Cheng Mo turned around and saw Tu Huiqin with a ponytail and Feng Leiting with a bob hair who had attended the summer camp together during the summer vacation. These two girls, who were fashionably dressed and had an 85-point appearance, were in the summer camp with Tang Wenjun and Cheng Haoyang.

After playing more, Tang Wenjun still had some thoughts about the lively and cute bob-haired Feng Leting. Cheng Mo also talked to them a little, but the exchanges were not too much.

At this moment, the two people were holding two books each, and seemed to be looking for a place to sit. Star City is not big, so it would not be a miracle to meet them in a popular place like the International Finance Center.

Cheng Mo didn't expect these two girls to say hello to him, so he was a little surprised. He straightened his back, said "uh" and said, "Good afternoon."

Feng Leiting, the more lively bob-haired girl, smiled and said, "You don't remember who we are anymore, do you?"

Cheng Mo said expressionlessly: "Remember, you are Feng Leiting, she is Tu Huiqin, and you are both from Nanjun Middle School."

The bob-headed Feng Leiting also knew that Cheng Mo had such a face that no one wanted to talk to, so she didn't mind. She glanced at the cup of coffee and lemonade in front of Cheng Mo and asked suspiciously: "Are you alone?"

When Cheng Mo heard Feng Leiting ask this, he knew that the two of them had the idea of ​​sitting down. He wanted to say two people, but when he glanced at the coffee shop, all the booths were full. He thought the other party was helpless, so he didn't.

He lied, nodded and said, "Yeah, alone."

"Then the two of us will share the table with you." After saying this, Feng Leiting excitedly tugged on the ponytail of Tu Huiqin who was standing next to her, pushed open the sofa chair, and sat across from Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo said nothing, lowered his head and continued reading, intending to use a cold attitude to distance himself from the two girls. However, Cheng Mo's wish to read quietly was easily destroyed.

After the two girls ordered drinks, Feng Leiting opened the book and asked Cheng Mo: "Why didn't you go to class in the afternoon?"

Cheng Mo didn't even raise his head and said calmly: "I'm on leave from school."

Cheng Mo did know why Feng Leiting and Tu Huiqin did not have class in the afternoon. From some English learning books they had packed, he could guess that the two of them must be learning English at a study abroad agency near the International Financial Center in preparation for studying abroad.

"Eh? Why did you drop out of school?" The delicate-looking Tu Huiqin actually has a good impression of a top student like Cheng Mo. When Cheng Mo said that he had dropped out of school, he couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Mo didn't bother to explain, so he said casually: "Physical reasons."

Tu Huiqin said with some regret: "I thought you were taking English classes like us and preparing to go abroad!"

It was exactly what he thought, but Cheng Mo still didn't raise his head, and he didn't mean to answer. He just looked at the book in his hand and shook his head. He once again revealed that he didn't want to talk to me, but the two girls didn't let him go.

Intend.

Feng Leiting asked: "Hey! Cheng Mo, I heard that Xie Minyun has transferred to another school and is no longer in your Changya. Is this true?"

Cheng Mo didn't expect that the news of Xie Minyun's transfer would actually spread to other schools. He said "hmm" and thought to himself: She is so beautiful that she is God's favorite.

Tu Huiqin looked at Cheng Mo curiously with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, "Aren't you very sad?"

At this moment, Cheng Mo finally couldn't maintain his coldness. He raised his head and said inexplicably: "Why should I be sad?"

Tu Huiqin said matter-of-factly: "Aren't you two lovers?"

Cheng Mo was a little surprised. He hadn't realized that Xie Minyun had a huge influence among high school students in southern Hunan and even across the country. After all, Xie Minyun was not a star. It was hard to imagine that he had only appeared on two variety shows that were very popular among high school students.

She has received so much attention, but when I think about Xie Minyun's outstanding appearance, I don't think there is anything that I can't figure out.

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and was about to deny it when he was interrupted by Feng Leiting's words. In fact, the reason why Feng Leiting saw Cheng Mo taking the initiative to say hello was to gossip about him and Xie Minyun. When she saw Cheng Xiaoyu's strange expression, she immediately

He couldn't wait to say: "The scandal between you and Xie Minyun has been spread in our school! Many people said that Xie Minyun contracted the entire Yuelu Mountain for you, and now your two names are all over the mountain. There are still many people in our school who don't believe it.

, I ran over to see it, and it turned out that it was true. Oh my God, you don’t know how sensational the incident between you and Xie Minyun was in our school. It is said that it cost 200 million!"

Only then did Cheng Mo remember that Xie Minyun had done such "sensational" deeds. It seemed that it would not be easy to tear off his label as a "billion dollar man", so he said "Oh" and gave up denying it.

idea.

Seeing Cheng Mo's cold attitude, Feng Leiting didn't care at all and asked persistently: "Hey, Cheng Mo, don't be embarrassed to say it?"

Cheng Mo felt that there was no room for him to sit in this place. He didn't like others gossiping about his private life. He moved the sofa chair, stood up, packed up his books, and said calmly: "Sit down slowly, I'll leave first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two people to speak, she turned around and left, leaving Feng Leiting and Tu Huiqin sitting in the booth and looking at each other.

Feng Leiting looked at Cheng Mo's back and said with some dissatisfaction: "You didn't ask any excessive questions, right? If you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it. As for pretending to be cool?"

Tu Huiqin said thoughtfully: "Maybe the relationship between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun is not going well, so they are in a bad mood?" After a pause, Tu Huiqin instantly imagined the poignant and bloody love between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun.

Story, "I guess it's possible that Xie Minyun's parents beat the couple, and deliberately asked Xie Minyun to transfer to another school in order to prevent Xie Minyun from being with Cheng Mo."

Feng Leiting sneered, "Anyway, I think Cheng Mo is a bit too pretentious. I wonder why Xie Minyun likes him? Is it just because of his good grades?"

Cheng Mo walked to the counter and bought the copy of "Us" by Eugene Zamyatin. This book is the same as "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and "1984" by George Orwell.

", also known as the three major dystopian works of the 20th century, was banned from sale in China for a long time. This time, for some unknown reason, it was allowed to be published, so Cheng Mo bought it without hesitation.

After buying the book, Cheng Mo changed to a dessert shop, ordered a portion of Yangzhi Manlu, and sat down to wait for Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong to call him. Now no one disturbed him, and Cheng Mo finished reading the book in one breath.

It was evening.

After sitting on his phone and watching the news for a while, Cheng Mo received a WeChat message from Fu Yuanzhuo, saying that their large army was already on the way. Cheng Mo returned to his place and was still waiting for Fu Yuanzhuo and the others at the dessert shop.

arrival.

Cheng Mo knew that Fu Yuanzhuo had arranged for more than ten or twenty people with whom he had a good relationship to celebrate his birthday. Cheng Mo felt that it was unnecessary. In his opinion, friendship is difficult to maintain without benefits, let alone in high school.

The friendship between students, when everyone goes to college and enters the society, except for a few people, most people will go further and further away, and there will not be much "friendship" left.

And the so-called class reunion has become a stage for showing off wealth, rather than a gathering for everyone to rekindle old friendships.

Cheng Mo has always believed that in order for friendship to be profound, both parties must first be of similar depth. Friendships between shallow people cannot be said to be deep, and most of them are just fair-weather friends.

Cicero believed that "Friendship can only occur between bad and good people." Historically speaking, this sentence is still a bit too honest.

Cheng Mo understood that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and his high school classmates, and there was no basis for friendship, but he couldn't bear Fu Yuanzhuo's repeated requests, so he let him go.

.

He and Fu Yuanzhuo still have a basis for friendship. At least Fu Yuanzhuo has another chance to touch the threshold of Tai Chi Dragon. As for Yan Yitong

Cheng Mo must take Yan Funing into consideration. Although he is not afraid of Yan Funing, Yan Funing is a factor that cannot be ignored.
