After hearing Zhang Dali's words, Xu Ranran fell into a long silence.
After a long time, she poured herself a glass of wine, but instead of drinking it all, she took a small sip and asked softly: "What have you been doing recently?"
"Playing games." There are some things that there is no need to hide, Zhang Dali answered calmly.
"Oh, is it the game studio you mentioned before, or is it just playing?" Xu Ranran frowned slightly after hearing Zhang Dali's answer.
"Just buy some equipment in the game and sell it to make ends meet." When he said this, Zhang Dali was very depressed. He was afraid that Xu Ranran would look down on him because of this.
"Is life okay?" Xu Ranran asked slowly and carefully.
"No problem, there is still a lot of savings." If it were in the past, Zhang Dali really didn't know how to answer this question. But luckily, he earned a huge sum of 60,000 yuan today, which gave him some confidence.
"That's good."
As Xu Ranran's words fell, the atmosphere fell into silence again. Zhang Dali wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
He knew that he still lacked courage, and if it had been buried for too long, it would probably rot in his heart.
"Your razor clams." In the silence, the waiter of the food stall brought the food.
"Thank you." Zhang Dali thanked the waiter, then smiled and said to Xu Ranran, "You should have just gotten off work, let's eat together."
Xu Ranran's attire was still a pair of old-fashioned clothes with a small suit and trousers, and she had a look of exhaustion that couldn't be concealed. She had obviously just finished working overtime.
"Waiter, please give me a pickled pig's trotters and two bowls of rice." Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Dali turned around and shouted to the waiter who had just walked away not far away.
"Okay." The waiter turned around and responded, then left quickly.
"Do you remember that I like to eat soy pig's trotters?" When Xu Ranran heard Zhang Dali's shouting, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and her smile was very restrained, but in Zhang Dali's eyes, it was very bright and comfortable.
"Yeah." Zhang Dali nodded and said, "It's better not to drink. I'll get another bottle of drink, Minute Maid?"
"Okay." The corners of Xu Ranran's mouth raised higher.
To help himself to drinks, Zhang Dali trotted to the refrigerator not far away and took a large bottle of Minute Maid, then ran back in a hurry.
He opened the drink in a gentlemanly manner, first poured half a cup and swung the wine glass that Xu Ranran drank from, and then helped her fill up the empty wine glass. Zhang Dali smiled and said, "Just order whatever you want to eat. I'm treating you today."
"I don't have much appetite, that's all. I'm full with just one pig's trotter, and you even asked for food, so I have to eat it." From Zhang Dali's appearance and dress, Xu Ranran could tell that Zhang Dali was indeed not doing well.
Otherwise, he, who always pays attention to his image, would not have come out without shaving and wearing a frayed T-shirt.
"Yeah." Zhang Dali smiled and started eating with chopsticks.
"That part of Ning'an Community is about to be demolished." Xu Ranran knew that someone with the surname Zhang Dali would not take the initiative to find a topic to talk about, so she could only start it on her own.
"Yeah, it's coming soon. The landlord has stopped letting me renew my lease." Zhang Dali had known for a long time that Ning'an Community would be demolished, but because it was still more than two months away, he didn't particularly care as he was busy making a living.
"The community I live in is pretty good, right in front." Xu Ranran pointed to an alley not far away and said, "Do you know the Xuefu Community? I live in the Xuefu Community, just behind that street. Do you want me to help you?"
If you look at the house, the rent is not high, which is considered low in Wucheng."
"Ah, yes, but I still have three months of rent, so don't worry, let's take a look first and then talk." Being able to live in the same community as Xu Ranran is what Zhang Dali has only dreamed of.
But just as he didn't have the courage to confess, he didn't dare to agree immediately.
He still had worries in his heart. After all, he didn't have a serious career, and if he lived in a community with Xu Ranran, he would inevitably have to meet Xu Ranran often.
If things go badly in the future, he really doesn't want Xu Ranran to see him in such a miserable state.
What's more, he doesn't know if Xu Ranran has a boyfriend. If Xu Ranran already has a boyfriend, then moving to a small neighborhood is not asking for happiness.
"Okay, if you want to find it, you can tell me. Hey, what's your mobile phone number?" Suddenly remembering that she didn't have Zhang Dali's contact information, Xu Ranran quickly took out her phone and asked Zhang Dali.
"Um, 136xxxxxxxx." When Zhang Dali reported his mobile phone number, he felt as if everything he had hidden for a long time had been exposed, which made him a little flustered.
"I called you." Xu Ranran quickly dialed the number Zhang Dali said, and then she heard a very familiar ringtone, the piano version of the anime "hc" op, the slow and sad tune always
It reminds people of some lingering past, which is the youth that has passed away and can only be remembered.
This piano music was the ringtone she had been using since college, but it sounded in Zhang Dali's left trouser pocket, which made her slightly startled.
Zhang Dali was shocked when he heard the ringtone, and then he hurriedly took out Rang's antique rice phone from his trouser pocket and pressed it to refuse to answer.
"Ah, I've saved your number." Zhang Dali panicked and saved Xu Ranran's number in his phone's contacts. Zhang Dali didn't dare to look up at Xu Ranran because the ringtone was really...
He was too embarrassed to take out his cell phone because it was too bad, but he didn't expect that something he cherished would be exposed. This was much more confusing than exposing his address and mobile phone number.
"You also like this piano music." Seeing Zhang Dali's panic, Xu Ranran vaguely felt something and wanted to laugh and cry.
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
It’s no longer the past. The youth of carefree squandering has long since died in the future, and there are too many things to consider in the future.
"Yes." Zhang Dali nodded lightly and added in a determined tone: "I like it very much. I like this piano music very much. I like you very much."
The corners of Zhang Dali's eyes suddenly felt a little sore, so he buried his head lower.
"Is Zhao Ting also in Wu City now?" After hesitating for a long time, Xu Ranran asked the question that she wanted to ask after hearing Zhang Dali say that she was in Wu City.
"Zhao Ting? I don't know, why are you mentioning her? She seems to have gone abroad, and went to the United States for further study before she graduated." Zhang Dali was a little surprised why Xu Ranran mentioned Zhao Ting.
"Ah, she went abroad. I wonder why there is no news about her and she is missing like you." The long-standing confusion was solved, and Xu Ranran's mood immediately improved a lot.
"You don't think she is my girlfriend, do you?" What Xu Ranran said suddenly reminded Zhang Dali of a question that his old classmates often asked him in the past, which made him speechless.
"Isn't it?" Xu Ranran's heart was beating fast, but her tone was very calm.
"Pfft, Zhao Ting, the school beauty and top student, how could she fall in love with me? She just went to the same school as me by accident. Why does everyone think that I have been in love with her? Look at me!
, how could it be possible to be liked by a swan."
How could he be liked by a swan? Zhang Dali was stung by his words. Then he closed his mouth and chewed the razor clams in his mouth.
