There was a hint of surprise in the voice, but more of a surprise.
"Yes, it's me."
Hearing Cao Mengyuan's familiar voice, Shen Dapeng's heart couldn't help but flutter, and he responded with a slightly trembling voice.
There was no answer on the phone for a moment, and Cao Mengyuan remained silent.
"Where are you now?"
Shen Dapeng took a deep breath, adjusted his somewhat confused heart, and continued to ask softly.
"I'm at home in Beijing, where are you?"
Cao Mengyuan's tone became much calmer and she replied calmly.
"I'm also in the capital, and I just came back yesterday."
As soon as he heard Cao Mengyuan say that she was indeed in the capital, Shen Dapeng felt his heart beating even harder, and he hurriedly continued Cao Mengyuan's words and said excitedly.
"You arrived in the capital yesterday? Did you go through the graduation procedures?"
Regarding the fact that Shen Dapeng was also in the capital, Shen Dapeng on the other side of the phone did not seem to be very surprised. On the contrary, she was quite calm and guessed the purpose of Shen Dapeng's return, as if she already knew something.
Cao Mengyuan's surprisingly calm tone, coupled with her speculation about the purpose of her return this time, made Shen Dapeng frown and suddenly became confused.
She doesn't seem very excited about her return?
The last time I went to the provincial capital university to visit her, her attitude towards me was not like this. After seeing me, she was very excited. I hugged her small waist and walked around the campus avenue a few times.
Circle.
Thinking of the last time he was at the provincial capital university, Shen Dapeng was startled, and a figure of a person appeared in his mind.
This person is none other than Gongsun Miao, who has been pursuing Cao Mengyuan at the provincial capital university.
In order to pursue Cao Mengyuan, Gongsun Miao even transferred from a university in the capital to go to a provincial university. This infatuation is admirable.
However, Shen Dapeng knew clearly at that time that Cao Mengyuan would not have any consequences with Gongsun Miao. She was the only one in her heart, which could be seen from her attitude towards Gongsun Miao and herself.
But now Cao Mengyuan looked a little unusual on the phone, which made Shen Dapeng have some doubts in his heart.
Although Cao Mengyuan likes her in her heart, she is not by her side. Instead, she has been in Shencheng since that meeting with Cao Mengyuan. She has not seen him for more than a year. How can he compare to Gongsun Miao who hangs around Cao Mengyuan every day?
Being thought about by someone every day and being attentive to the girl you like all the time, as time goes by, some unexpected things will inevitably happen.
Thinking of this, Shen Dapeng's heart sank, and a question couldn't help but arise in his mind. Is there something going on between Cao Mengyuan and Gongsun Miao?
As soon as this question came to Shen Dapeng's mind, he suppressed it forcefully.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Although he has never been with Cao Mengyuan, Gongsun Miao has many opportunities to get close to Cao Mengyuan and even show his courtesy, but he knows very well what kind of person Gongsun Miao is.
How could a dandy like this, who has nothing to do all day long and no spirit of struggle, fall under Cao Mengyuan's eyes?
Moreover, I believe in Cao Mengyuan. She is definitely not the kind of girl who can be easily fooled by sugar-coated bullets. She must only have herself in her heart, and she will never do anything to regret herself.
After thinking about this, Shen Dapeng felt somewhat calmer. Maybe Cao Mengyuan's abnormal tone was due to something else.
"You girl, you've made a good guess. Yes, it was done yesterday. When did you return to the capital?"
Shen Dapeng pretended not to know anything and smiled easily.
"I just came back a few days ago."
Shen Dapeng's pretense of light-hearted joking didn't seem to make Cao Mengyuan feel better, as his tone remained the same.
"Are you free now? Find a place where we can sit and chat?"
Shen Dapeng directly spoke what was in his heart. Maybe after meeting Cao Mengyuan, he can understand why she is like this.
"Okay, tell me a place and I'll be there soon."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while. Just when Shen Dapeng didn't know what Cao Mengyuan meant, Cao Mengyuan's voice came through the receiver clearly.
"Okay, there is a good Sichuan restaurant over on Nanhai Road. I heard it tastes good. How about we go there for a meal?"
"Okay, let's meet and chat, bye!"
Cao Mengyuan answered very simply this time and hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Shen Dapeng didn't taste too much the tone of Cao Mengyuan's words. In his opinion, only after meeting Cao Mengyuan can he know what Cao Mengyuan is like, so the tone of speaking to him on the phone this time was a bit strange.
After half an hour's drive, Shen Dapeng's taxi stopped at the door of the Sichuan restaurant on Nanhai Road in Dongcheng District.
After getting out of the car, Shen Dapeng did not see Cao Mengyuan's figure. It seemed that she had not arrived yet.
This Sichuan restaurant on Nanhai Road has a total of two floors. The lobby on the first floor is large enough to accommodate dozens of tables of guests. There are not many people inside at this time. The second floor is full of private rooms. Although the price is a little more expensive, it is compared to the first floor.
The building is naturally much quieter.
Shen Dapeng asked for a private room, sat in first, and told the waiter that he had to wait for his friend and was not in a hurry to serve the food.
The waiter understood what Shen Dapeng meant. He made a pot of tea for Shen Dapeng to use slowly and then withdrew.
This private room is next to the window, which was specially chosen by Shen Dapeng. Standing by the window, you can see the night view of the streets of Beijing.
Shen Dapeng poured a cup of tea and walked gently to the window. Looking at the busy traffic under the street lights and the neon lights of the buildings in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh. He drank a few sips of tea slowly, and many thoughts came to his mind.
The capital is still the capital of the past. It is so busy every day, and the flow never stops. As a person living in this capital, everyone's heart is filled with memories. The memories in this city are related to life.
.
And I, of course, am no exception.
In my previous life, I didn't get into a good university. After I graduated from a vocational school, I came to this city to work hard. I lived a nine-to-five life every day. I had so little money in a month that I couldn't even support myself.
, let alone support your parents.
After get off work every day, there are already stars. Looking up at the night sky, I can't see the future. The ideals I once had are shattered in the face of the cruel reality. I am no different from the walking dead.
After being reborn, I made up my mind to work hard, not only to realize my ideals, but also to get the girl that I liked in my previous life but was simply out of reach.
