As Dongfang Wan said before, this party was purely attended by young people. It was a very relaxed and free party. There was a buffet and barbecue in the courtyard on the seaside, a dance floor in the living room, a pool table and a villa in the courtyard on the side.
There are computers, video games, poker and even a lot of toys for minors in the entertainment room. Most of the participants are young people with certain family backgrounds. Some are still in school, and some have already entered the workforce of large companies. This
Among them were talented people, dandies, otakus, and rotten girls. Those who knew each other greeted each other, and those who did not know each other were introduced by others or approached by themselves. The theme of the party was not only to find suitable members of the opposite sex, but also to establish different relationships.
Paving the way for their own futures.
After greeting the host and introducing each other, followed by a polite conversation with Lei Qing, Jiaming's task was basically completed. It was obvious that Lei Qing's eyes towards Jiaming contained extremely powerful emotions.
Hate... After all, yesterday Jia Ming's random prank in the cafe made Lei Qing really embarrassed. His head was hit by the tabletop, and coffee, sugar, ice cream and other things were smeared all over his head and face. But it happened that he wanted Jia Ming first.
Embarrassed, and a little guilty in her heart - maybe this is the reason why Dongfang Wan grabbed him as a shield. In her eyes, Jia Ming has always been extremely slow, and will not deliberately flatter or give face to anyone. If it were someone else, I'm afraid
He had already been defeated by Lei Qing's gaze offensive. After all, Lei Qing was not just a useless second generation ancestor, he also had an extremely powerful family behind him.
After Lei Qing was probably taken care of, Dongfang Wan parted ways with Jia Ming, looking for people in the crowd who might be helpful to his toy factory, and then looking for introductions. Jia Ming walked around and knew one or two people.
The Huang family's cousin said hello to him, but they didn't seem to have much idea of communicating with this somewhat withdrawn cousin.
We turned all the way back to the courtyard by the sea. The sun had already set, leaving only the last trace of red in the western sky. The lights in the entire villa came on, and the grass with the long buffet table and barbecue grills was brightly lit and slightly fishy.
The salty sea breeze brought a cool atmosphere. Yahan was standing on a barbecue grill and sprinkling pepper on a chicken wing. The man who came with her was talking beside her while doing some horrible barbecue.
, Yahan looked around absentmindedly. When she saw Jia Ming's figure, she turned back, focused on the half-burnt chicken wings, and talked to the man next to her.
I blew the wind for a while by the courtyard and listened to the music coming from the room. Jiaming took two skewers of fish and meat slices. He stirred up the charcoal fire on an empty barbecue grill next to him and started grilling skillfully. He was familiar with the outdoors.
Survival is also very skilled in these things. After renting a house with Lingjing and Shasha, they often barbecued and played on the roof of the house. After a while, the alluring fragrance came out.
Ever since I understood Yahan's thoughts, my friendship with her has come to an end. Becoming friends if they can't be lovers is undoubtedly a childish idea. Seeing that she already has her own life, Jiaming doesn't want to disturb her.
He just occasionally glanced at the sight of Yahan struggling to eat chicken wings in the corner after the barbecue was finished, which always made him feel a little funny. Sometimes someone came over to say hello to her or the men around her, both men and women.
They were talking and laughing. When they glanced at the living room inside, they could still see Dongfang Wan chatting and laughing with some people. Dongfang Lu had also arrived and was chatting with Yi Huaying and others as the host.
The barbecue was finished. Dongfang Wan, who was holding a glass of water and asked for water, also came over and made an OK gesture to him excitedly: "That's great, I met a few more people. Well, there is a family who owns a chain of supermarkets across the country.
, I mentioned our toy factory to him, and he said he would be happy to come and have a look in two days, haha... Your baked goods are so fragrant, I’m so hungry..." With that, he left the house unceremoniously.
Ming snatched half of the food from his hand, gnawed it into big mouthfuls, and then showed a surprised look.
"Hey, how do you grill it so well? There was a guy who just gave me a bunch of beef... I ate it until I wanted to die..."
"They are all people who want to do big things. I am not interested in doing big things, I just like these small things."
"If you can't do anything big in the future, I'll invite you to come to my house to be a cook!" Dongfang Wan said generously. Jia Ming smiled, picked up a skewer of fish, two skewers of mutton, and a corn and threw it back to the barbecue grill. Wait until
Dongfang Wan said incoherently: "I also want a corn." He just took an extra corn and added it.
While eating, waiting for the corn to be roasted, Dongfang Wan asked casually: "Hey, your relationship with Teacher Yahan is at loggerheads?"
"Um?"
"I saw that you didn't say hello today...well, actually there was a problem before the holiday. She never punished you before, but then she withdrew the punishment from you. I thought you were getting along with me again.
It’s done.”
"Because she didn't do well in the final exam, she decided not to take sides and protect me for the whole semester."
Dongfang Wan was stunned for a moment. Then he rolled his eyes: "Tch...he's not a child..."
Jiaming smiled and shrugged. Dongfang Wan moved the stool and sat closer: "Hey, have you seen the guy with Teacher Yahan? I heard that he is very likely to catch up with Teacher Yahan, although now
There has been no substantial progress, but Teacher Xu Mo has never succeeded in inviting Teacher Yahan to go on a date. At least he succeeded... Poor Teacher Xu Mo, so infatuated..."
"Oh?" Jiaming replied casually, flipping through the food on the shelf in an orderly manner.
"Well, that man's name is Ma Tuo... This name is really disgusting... His family is said to be an upstart in the underworld, so he is not too powerful. But it is said that when Teacher Yahan was studying abroad in Cambridge, this man was also in
We are all Chinese students in Cambridge and have known each other for a long time. It is said that he also has a master's degree now and is a manager of some foreign-funded company. He recently returned to Jianghai and the two of them hooked up."
"Tch..." Jia Ming smiled and brought the roasted corn to her, "Why is hooking up so ugly? Why are you such a gossip..."
Dongfang Wan is naturally not a gossip person. If it weren't for the relationship between Jiaming and Yahan, she wouldn't be bothered to ask about these things. At this time, she was stunned for a moment, then she stared and said confidently: "Gossip is a woman's nature, no
Do you know?" Then he stretched out his hand and snatched away everything on the grill. "By the way, give these things to me as a gift. I will say that I baked them, and I will make sure that those people will look at me with admiration, and maybe we will leave.
The next order is one step closer. Haha...bye..."
Feeling that he had taken advantage of Jia Ming again, Dongfang Wan waved his hands and ran very fast, with a very excited tone. Jia Ming shrugged, feeling like he was really a part-time chef, but it was fine anyway, and it didn't matter if he passed the time with barbecue.
He took a bunch of things and baked them again. When they were cooked again, Yahan had disappeared when he looked back. Dongfang Wan was gnawing particularly enthusiastically in the living room with half a corn, talking and laughing with others, mostly
After bragging about his excellent barbecue skills, Dongfang Lu smiled and nodded to him.
Sitting on the railing of the small garden aisle with something to eat, eating while enjoying the sea breeze, listening to the music in the living room and the laughter in the crowd. In the lively scene with not many acquaintances around, Mr. Jia Ming
He could recall some things from the past, such as the people he had killed countless times in such scenes. Either far or near, with a knife or a gun, or by stabbing into the mouth with these fragile-looking bamboo sticks in his hand.
, throat, it is not impossible to directly stab someone in the chest in the summer. But that requires extremely precise handling, and one-time penetration of the heart without any bias. After all, the muscles in the chest are relatively thick, and the bamboo stick will still break if the handling is slightly inaccurate.
Of course, if the target is an ordinary person, he can also deliver a death punch directly to the chest at close range, directly stopping the opponent's heart with huge force.
While I was thinking about these things in my mind, a dark purple figure walked over from the corner of the opposite aisle. After seeing him, he stopped suddenly. That was of course Yahan.
If she wanted to pretend that she didn't know each other, Yahan could just walk over from the beginning. However, after a pause, she seemed to have to say hello. After a while, Jia Ming smiled and handed over what he was holding: "
Chicken wings?”
"Uh... I don't like eating chicken wings. And..." Yahan's eyes were confused for a while, and then she took a breath and shook her hands that were still wet with water, "And... I've already washed my hands.
"
"Oh." Jia Ming nodded. He was thinking of saying something, but Yahan had already added: "Well... let's grill the fish, I'm still a little hungry... I wanted to eat something else..."
Taking the grilled fish from Jiaming's hand, Yahan sat down on the railing next to Jiaming, took a bite, then wiped the oil stains on her mouth and said with a smile: "Well, it's delicious. It's not like the grilled fish I had."
It’s on the same level.”
"That's why I said, do you want to try my grilled chicken wings?"
"Ha..." Yahan smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uh. Why did you and Dongfang Wan come here and hold hands... Where are Lingjing and Shasha..." She had scolded her before when she was incoherent.
Ming Huaxin, the current words obviously have this meaning, Jia Ming smiled and told her about Lei Qing, how Dongfang Wan found him in the hotel today, and then Lingjing and Shasha pushed him out.
.After finishing this series of things, Yahan's expression finally became natural.
"Oh, that's it. Lei Qing...doesn't have much ability. No wonder Dongfang Wan doesn't like him. But if there are family forces getting in the way, I'm afraid Dongfang Wan won't be able to refuse Lei Qing much. These things...
…”
"Well, I think the reason why Dongfang Wan wants to build that toy factory is because he hopes that after he proves his ability, he won't be thrown away casually as a bargaining chip."
"Dongfang Wan is very powerful and has a strong personality. Maybe I will inevitably be taken out for a kiss in the future." She looked at Jiaming's reaction, then smiled unnaturally and shrugged, "Well, for the time being it should be
It doesn’t matter, after Liu Wenli’s incident, this matter was rarely mentioned at home. After all, I am still sick.”
"I remember that your family planned to send you to the United States for medical treatment last year. Why is there no news yet?"
"I really hope that I leave Jianghai and never see you again. Will no one say that you have moral problems in the future?" Looking at Jiaming, Yahan smiled and said, "Uh... I'm kidding, but you, Lingjing, and Shasha
Together, I will definitely object. Because this is something wrong, anyway... it is wrong..."
Jiaming was a little speechless, and Yahan seemed to realize that his words were too embarrassing. She lowered her head and was silent for a while, and then said: "Last year, the United States said there was some progress, but it was because our family invested in that hospital.
They just made it sound nice. At the end of the year, they said that this progress might not be of much use and it would take some time. I recently called to ask and they said that there might be a breakthrough by the end of November this year. I don’t believe him.
It’s weird, I’m too lazy to think about this anyway… Besides, I’m in good control now. I won’t be so nervous when I need a kidney transplant…”
As soon as she said such sad and weak words, Yahan felt a little regretful. Was she expecting his sympathy or pity? Jiaming didn't know what to say. In the end, Yahan ate all the roast in his hand.
Fish, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Wings." Jia Ming handed one over, and Yahan carefully bit it.
"Well, it's much better than the one I baked. I don't know what went wrong with the hard one I baked... By the way, do you remember a fat man named Ma An?"
Jiaming thought for a while and then nodded: "The fat guy in Xinghui High School was the one who always made trouble for me and Shasha. Later, through your relationship, he went to the Sacred Heart... Hehe, I still remember him once
I want to stop Shasha from taking nude photos..."
Yahan also laughed: "I didn't expect you to still remember him. Have you seen the person who came with me today?"
"No...you want to tell me that that wretched fat man turned into such a handsome guy?"
"No way, huh... His name is Ma Tuo. He is Ma An's brother. I met him in Cambridge before. I was relatively young at the time and was well taken care of among the group of Chinese students. He also helped me with some things.
, that time I let his younger brother enter the Sacred Heart. After he came back, he heard my name and came here specially. Then I felt, wow... this world is really a little small..."
"Well... according to the gossip told by Dongfang Wan, it is said that he is pursuing you, and he looks promising. Poor Xu Mo..."
Yahan's expression was stagnant. She looked at Jiaming and hesitated for a while. She didn't know whether to tell the truth to prevent him from misunderstanding her or to tell lies to make him jealous, but she finally laughed: "No way, it's just very
We are just ordinary friends. This time we came out. I had been bored at home for too long and was kicked out by my little mother. Didn’t you always say that I was lazy before? I took that classic car for maintenance today.
.So I had to take his car over here...um...heh...um..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly felt a little sad. She couldn't help but lower her head. Fortunately, the light here was darker, and she didn't think Jia Ming could see it. At this moment, a voice came from not far away.
It rang: "Hey, Yahan, come here. Wanzhen and the others are here too. I heard you were here and asked you to go play pool. Hello..." Looking back, Ma Tuo was waving his hands excitedly.
"Uh... they are also classmates I met in Cambridge." Yahan smiled at Jiaming. "Do you also want to go over and have fun? I will introduce you to them."
Naturally, this was a polite remark. Jiaming waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not very good at billiards. What's wrong with a kid among you adults? There's a generation gap."
"Haha, actually I'm several years younger than each of them. There's almost a generation gap, but... I know you don't like to associate with these strangers, so I'll go over first." She stood up and took it.
Holding the half-eaten chicken wings, he smiled and waved, "Bye."
"bye."
With a smile, Yahan ran a few steps, looked back, but finally turned around and left, disappearing behind the white wall at the intersection of the aisle. Jiaming was eating, thinking about the meaning of this chat, it seemed
They became friends again, but there was always some lingering haze between the two, and after that, she would still keep a blind eye on herself. Such things are always annoying no matter what.
