Chapter 254 Reunion (3)
"Drink! How can you not drink!" Zhang Shuai raised the glass, turned his head to look at Tian Xin and smiled bitterly. When he turned around again, there was no expression on his face.
"Come on, let's do it together!" Li Jing gave Tian Xin a look, touched Gao Wen's arm, and several people raised their glasses together.
"Dry--"
With a crisp sound, the seven cups clinked together and finally finished one cup.
Li Jing put down her cup and switched seats with Tian Xin, sitting next to Zhang Shuai. "Hey, Zhang Shuai, we've known each other for a while now, right? Why don't you always give me a good face when we see each other? Do I owe you money?"
"No!"
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
"nothing!"
Perhaps he was still unhappy, so Zhang Shuai ignored Li Jing's enthusiasm and continued drinking one glass after another.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. From the moment he saw Tian Xin and saw the expressions on her face when she and Lin Zhou looked at each other, he felt inexplicably angry.
The eldest brother is no longer the same as before. She has learned to give in. When they were in the village before, she was carefree. When he got angry, she would pull his ears and scold him, and then talk him into reason.
But today, when she saw Lin Zhou lose his temper, she would patiently coax him, very gently and attentively. She had only done this to him during the time when he was injured and hospitalized and nearly died.
Is it different after all?
Zhang Shuai smiled bitterly to himself, hating himself for saying such words to Lin Zhou.
moon?
After all, he was too stupid and didn't understand anything.
During these days when I was not with her, everything changed quietly.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" Li Jing continued chattering, clinking her glass with his. "Is this all right?"
"What's okay?"
"I say, I need your help. The website I mentioned before is the one I made for your sister. It's now taking shape, and I need a helper. Can you help me?" Li Jing's big eyes blinked, and a rare blush appeared on her face, which was completely different from her usual carefree look.
"I can't help you!" Zhang Shuai refused.
"I didn't even say what to do? And you said you couldn't help?"
"Then tell me, what can I do?" Zhang Shuai turned his head, a wry smile on his face, his eyes filled with helplessness. "First, I have no money. Second, I don't know anything! Tell me, what can I do?"
"Can you..."
"Find someone else, I can't help!"
After refusing this, he gulped down a glass of wine and then began to eat in silence without saying a word.
Li Jing was choked by his words "find someone else" and was speechless for a moment. She turned her head and stared at him wolfing down the food, her brows furrowed more and more in anger.
"Okay, don't be angry! If you need anything, tell me. I'll help you!" Lin Hai picked up a handful of small bamboo sticks and handed them to Li Jing. A rare smile appeared on his face.
Tian Xin was stunned. This guy could actually laugh. He wasn't that mean!
On the contrary, Zhang Shuai is acting weird today!
Li Jing looked up at Lin Hai, took the small bamboo sticks, and said lightly: "Thank you!"
"Why don't you tell me thank you? If you need any help, just let me know. I'm not particularly busy lately!" Lin Hai said.
"Okay!" Li Jing replied, "Then I won't be polite!" She then turned and glanced at Zhang Shuai, who was still engrossed in his meal, and snorted in anger. Then she raised her glass and extended it towards Lin Hai, her heroic spirit rising again: "Come on, have a drink!"
"Come..." Lin Hai grinned and clinked glasses with her. Seeing her finish the cup without taking a breath, he handed the paper box to her attentively and said softly: "Slow down!"
Li Jing raised her head: "It's okay!"
This was not the first time Gao Wen met Li Jing.
As early as a month ago, Tian Xin took her, Lin Zhou and Zhang Shuai to attend their wedding as best men and bridesmaids.
It was probably Li Jing's first time as a bridesmaid, and she had just met Gao Wen. But she behaved quite nicely, protecting Gao Wen the entire time. She even blocked many ill-intentioned shots during the toast.
She was not surprised at all that such a person could become Tian Xin's best friend, and she even admired him very much.
"Hey, Xin, are you full?" Gao Wen gave Tian Xin a wink.
"Why, are you full?" Gao Cheng frowned and asked her, "How many bites have you taken?"
"Tsk..." Gao Wen glared at him and silently said to him: "Don't talk."
Although she said nothing, everyone at the table noticed and understood what she said. Before Gao Cheng could react, Tian Xin put down her chopsticks and stopped Lin Zhou from handing her a plate of freshly shelled shrimp: "I'm full!"
She picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, then asked Li Jing, "What about you?"
"That's about right!" said Li Jing.
"Okay then, let's go sing! How about it?"
"That's exactly what I meant," Gao Wen said. "Before you came, Li Jing and I sang several songs together. You're the only one missing!"
"Oh? Really?" Tian Xin said with a smile: "I haven't heard Li Jing sing yet!"
"Then you'll have to listen to it!" Li Jing said as she stood up, picked up the microphone she had just thrown away, walked around a few people to the TV, and made a bold statement: "I can't do anything else, but I can sing... I'm an absolute microphone master!"
"Hey, you've done it!" Lin Zhou couldn't help but complain: "With those two moves of yours, people could hear it from two blocks away! I don't even want to tell you anything, at least hold back!"
"Don't say that," Lin Hai interrupted Lin Zhou with a smile, turned around and looked at Li Jing and said, "I think it's okay, at least it's on track!"
"The pace has reached Mount Everest, and you're still adjusting? From childhood to adulthood, only you can tolerate her." Lin Zhou smiled and shook his head, then handed the freshly peeled shrimp to Lin Hai again: "Here you go!"
"I don't want it, you're not peeling it for me!" Lin Hai pushed it back in disgust.
"She didn't eat it!" Lin Zhou handed it over again.
Before it was even handed to him, Lin Hai pushed it back: "Then I don't want it either! It's so unhygienic!"
"You love cleanliness, do you dislike me so much?" Tian Xin brought the shrimp in front of herself: "If you don't want to eat it, keep it. I'll eat it later!" After saying that, she took the microphone and went out, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.
Gao Cheng couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh wildly, and the other two laughed too. Only Zhang Shuai, leaning on the sofa at this moment, looked at Tian Xin's back with a lonely face, wondering what he was thinking?
The three sisters over there have already started singing.
Faye Wong's classic song "I Do" was playing on TV.
Li Jing didn't know how to sing this kind of tender song and she disliked it. She was about to cut it off when she heard the prelude, but was stopped by Gao Wen.
"I remember when we were in school, your favorite songs were Faye Wong's! Right?"
"Yeah!" Tian Xin nodded.
Just as the prelude ended, she picked up the microphone and spoke slowly, with infinite affection in her eyes.
——Missing you is a very mysterious thing——like a shadow——following you everywhere——silently and breathlessly——haunting my heart——in the blink of an eye——swallowing me in loneliness——I am powerless to resist——especially at night——oh——I miss you so much that I can’t breathe——I wish I could immediately——run towards you——tell you loudly——oh——
