Gu Pan Sheng Zi

Chapter 35N.44
Three Christmas trees stood on each side of the banquet hall, covered with wrapped gift boxes and sparkling lights.There are more than a dozen round tables in the venue, and two long tables at the back, with all kinds of food and drinks on them.

According to Qiao Ke, the guests invited are basically the patrons of the hotel, and 90% of the occupancy rate depends on these people, who are not short of money.There were a few familiar faces among the guests. The one who was talking to Xiang Jie, I had been on his eight-day European study tour.

Seeing me walking over, Xiang Yu said, "Pan Zi, this is Director Zhang of the Urban Construction Bureau. Bureau Zhang, this is Gu Panzi."

"Does Director Zhang remember me?"

"How can I not remember. Let me tell you, Xiang Jie, this girl's drinking capacity is not inferior to the men in the Northeast."

Xiang Jie put his arms around my waist, and said softly, "Really? Then I need to see it."

This is the first real physical contact between me and Xiang Zhen. He hugged me very lightly, but he was very close to me.I kind of like the daisy fragrance on him.

"Hey, let me just say, how did these two people know each other, it turned out to be like this, they are really talented and beautiful."

"Zhang Bureau, I don't want you to make fun of people like this."

As usual, the beginning of the party was simple speeches from various people, and then began to eat, a large round table for ten people dedicated to banquet seats, and the cold appetizer was foie gras.How else can we say that we Chinese are real, unlike foreigners' self-service receptions, where food is placed on long tables, and everyone stands with glasses of wine and chats while eating.If you stop this way, you can still eat a few more meals.This routine is just a foreplay in China. The main meal is eight dishes and one soup. If the abalone head is not in double digits, it is too embarrassing to serve it. After the meal, there must be a sideshow.They are all masters who are not short of money. If you give red envelopes directly, you may put them in which pocket and they will be used as waste paper.Therefore, it is generally engaged in game interaction to distribute prizes.

Qiao Ke arranged for me the table in the blind corner of Ye Murong's line of sight. Basically, as long as I don't make a lot of noise, no one can notice me.

Coincidentally, the man at the same table was Xiang Zhen's classmate in Chicago back then, and now works as an associate professor in the university, teaching and educating people.When the two talked about their study abroad life, they really had endless things to say.From skipping classes to evading tickets to watch football, from driving a second-hand broken car across the west coast to cycling around Europe...

I would occasionally interject a few sentences, and for the rest, I would listen to the two of them talk about that hot youth time.

The fiery passion of the Americans forged the flying years.Unlike the rigor of the Japanese, they always do things according to the plan and follow the rules.Americans have the passion and uninhibitedness of western cowboys in their bones. They aim to enjoy life, and most of their things are unplanned.With twenty dollars in his pocket, Xiang Zhen once drove a broken car with a roaring motor, eastward to New York and Washington, and then across the state and across the capital, all the way westward, and there were many tricks and abductions along the way.When they arrived in Salt Lake City, the professor hadn't found anyone for nearly a month, and sent three emails in a row to bluff and scare him before calling him back.

Looking at Xiang Li's mature and steady appearance, she never imagined that when she was young, she was also a reckless master.I also find it funny.

Xiang Jie looked at me with a smile and said, "After all, I still made you laugh. How is it? How is it compared to when you were younger?"

I shook my head, "Compared to you, my part is not worth mentioning. Now that I think about it, it's like a simple shoujo manga, full of delusions and arrogance."

Xiang Jie adjusted his glasses frame, his long and narrow eyes looked at me through the lenses, "Pan Zi, no matter whether the past was satisfactory or not, it is the existence that we have lived in real life. Judging from today's wisdom and experience, what we did at that time It's a bit silly for nature, but..."

"I understand." I interrupted Xiang Zhen with a sincere smile, "I believe that no matter what the situation is, life itself is a hymn. Even if it is a little absurd and ignorant, it is my own path, which is life. Experience an indelible part of this wealth."

Xiang Yan's warm smile spread to the bottom of his eyes, he raised the goblet, swirled the purple-red liquid in the cup, and said, "You can teach a child."

The two of us toasted and drank together, looked at each other and smiled.

The phone vibrated, and a text message came in, Rong Shengzhi's number.

"Grandma, I beg you, can you find someone to leave the table first? Bring the person who is eyeing you."

Surprised, he slightly raised his head to look for the man sitting in front of the main table, unbuttoning his suit, clinking a wine glass with someone.Because of the distance, even the expression is blurred, only the silhouette of the handsome side face can be seen.Looking at Rong Shengzhi again, he was looking at me, but he still couldn't see his expression clearly.

He even made eye contact, it was really difficult for him to see clearly from this distance.With this skill of catching wind and shadows, if Qiao Ke is added, it is enough to start a gossip magazine and dominate the gossip world.

No matter what happened before, I will eventually have a life of my own.The past has held me back enough time, and I've spent the best time of my life loving and hating, mourning and forgetting.Whether or not I can forget what I want to forget, at this moment I strongly feel the breath of a new life.Xiang Zhen's real existence made me feel warm and secure.And I am willing to go on with him, this decision has nothing to do with Ye Murong.

But Rong Shengzhi's wanting me to avoid it is definitely not groundless.

I remembered the Tokyo appointment with Ye Murong. Before that, there was still a connection between us, and we hadn't really ended it.That……

I thought about it, if it's a bit fake to pretend to be drunk, firstly, I didn't drink that much alcohol, and secondly, this excuse is too much like an excuse.Thinking of the conversation between Caicai and Xiang Jie just now, he whispered, "Xiang Jie, where is Xun Xun tonight?"

"I picked them up yesterday, and they are at home. There is a nanny watching over them."

"Let's pick up Xun Xun and Guan Guan, and I'll cook for you at my house."

Xiang Zhen's originally warm and silky eyes suddenly changed, he looked at me for a while, and then smiled.

He took my hand and shook it hard, and we both left the table lightly like thieves.

The journey was smooth, and after sitting in the car, turning on the air conditioner, and seeing the other party's costumed appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

Xiang Jie laughed while starting the car, "I haven't escaped the banquet for many years, and I always sat down neatly until the end. This time it's good, I ran away before I had time to say hello to the host."

"Ouch."

"what happened?"

I slapped my forehead, "I'm so young, I forgot that there will be a lottery draw later. Qiao Ke said that the prizes are rich."

Xiang Jie reached out to rub my hair, "Let Xun Xun give you a prize."
