Chapter 757: Meeting at the Restaurant
The wind was cold and the dead trees on both sides of the street swayed in the wind, looking bleak and desolate.
A young man in white walked quickly into the bookstore and stomped his feet as soon as he entered, trying to dispel the cold air.
The bookstore clerk quickly handed over a hot water bottle and said, "Master, it's so cold, you should be at home getting some sleep. You're torturing yourself by coming here so early."
Wei Ziyi smiled and said, "Sleeping is so boring. The bookstore is more fun."
"If you don't know, you would think there is a young lady waiting for you in the bookstore." The clerk said jokingly.
Wei Ziyi's expression darkened and he said nothing.
The waiter found it a little strange; in the past, when he joked with the young master, he would always join in. Ever since the birthday party, his young master seemed to be in a bad mood.
Wei Ziyi covered the hot water bottle and looked at the windowsill.
The guy said there was a big girl waiting for him...
There was no big girl before, but there were letters from girls waiting for him. At that time, Wei Ziyi woke up in the morning with full of anticipation, looking forward to receiving the letter, curious about what Wei Yu would say in the letter.
However, he hadn't received any letters since the birthday party. He had originally thought that the worst-case scenario would be that Weiyu wouldn't see him, and they could continue exchanging letters. In reality, the outcome was even worse than he'd imagined. Weiyu had sensed his feelings and was afraid she would never contact him again.
Wei Ziyi felt depressed and had no interest in doing anything.
However, he also didn't want to stay at home and make his parents worry.
His father said he would help him find Weiyu, and since Weiyu refused to see him, he would go to see her.
His father is such a straightforward person. He says he is experienced, but in fact he only has to deal with his mother.
Wei Ziyi felt that Weiyu was different from his mother, or perhaps his mother loved his father very much and would indulge his father in whatever he did.
But Weiyu was different. She was reserved and... didn't like him, and might not appreciate his passionate pursuit. Since Weiyu didn't want to, he didn't want to do anything to embarrass her.
So, he asked his father not to interfere in the matter, and he didn't want his parents to worry, so he ran to the bookstore and licked his wounds alone.
He walked over without any expectation, picked up the flowerpot, and his fox eyes suddenly widened. There was actually a letter lying there!
Joy spread from the bottom of my heart, crashing into my brain, and I felt like I was floating.
Wei Ziyi's hands were shaking when he picked up the letter.
Wei Ziyi opened the letter, and when he finished reading it, his pair of black eyes shone like stars.
Wei Yu asked him to meet at Qingfeng Tower in three days. Wei Yu wanted to see him!
…
Tang Li had been paying attention to Wei Ziyi, so he soon noticed something was wrong with him.
The dark clouds on the boy's face dissipated, and there was an uncontrollable joy between his eyebrows.
When Tangli asked, Wei Ziyi told her that Weiyu had asked him to meet her.
"Mom, Weiyu wants to see me. She didn't come to the birthday party. Maybe there's something hidden? Maybe she's shy, or she was delayed by something else?"
"She wants to see me, which means she cares about me. Even if she doesn't like me, we are still good friends."
"Mom, what do you think I should say when I see her for the first time?"
Wei Ziyi chirped, his tone full of surprise and uneasiness.
Tang Li couldn't help but think of when they were little. Among the three babies, the second baby was the most lively and talkative, and his little mouth kept chattering.
The difference from when he was a child is that the child has grown into a teenager, has a girl he likes, and is an adult now.
She looked at the boy's happy expression and really hoped that everything would go as she wished.
The agreed day soon arrived.
That day, Wei Ziyi got up early and changed several sets of clothes.
White is elegant, blue is light, and black is more mature, but Wei Ziyi always feels that something is missing, and he is not satisfied no matter how many he changes.
He finally chose the white one with black piping, a black belt around his waist, and his hair tied with a jade crown. It was a very refreshing outfit.
He stood in front of Tangli somewhat shyly.
"Mother, how about this dress?" Wei Ziyi asked.
Tang Li looked at the young man in front of him. The belt outlined his slender waist. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he already had the outline of a man. His face was very fair, handsome, and graceful. He was the perfect young man.
"He looks good. Ziyi is the most handsome young man in the whole capital." Tang Li did not hesitate to praise him.
Wei Ziyi was naturally happy to hear the compliment, but he still felt that he couldn't ignore the facts: "Big brother and Brother Xu Jue are both better looking than me."
"In Miss Weiyu's eyes, Ziyi must be the most handsome." Tangli said.
Wei Ziyi's face turned red.
"Mom, I'm leaving." Wei Ziyi's fair face flushed and he said shyly.
Tang Li nodded: "Go ahead. Have you brought your gifts?"
"I brought it." Wei Ziyi said.
After Wei Ziyi finished speaking, he turned around and left the house, got on the carriage, and headed towards Qingfeng Tower.
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Ziyi arrived at Qingfeng Tower, a full half hour ahead of the agreed time.
Wei Ziyi sat in the box, straightened his clothes and sat upright.
This half hour was very long for Wei Ziyi. He had to count every minute and second, the time it took for Wei Yu to step into Qingfeng Tower.
It was so short, and he was always afraid that he was not prepared and could not meet Wei Yu in the best possible manner.
Whether it was anticipation or nervousness, time did not stop because of his mood, and half an hour passed.
There was a knock on the door on time.
Wei Ziyi was already waiting at the door. Just a moment ago, he had straightened his clothes for the last time.
There was only one knock and the door opened.
The young man in white and the girl in green looked at each other like this.
Wei Ziyi looked at the beautiful girl in front of him.
Miss Wei Yu, is this what you look like?
While Wei Ziyi was still in a daze, the girl in green had already looked him over from head to toe.
"Are you Wei Ziyi?" the girl asked.
Wei Ziyi nodded: "I am, you...you are Weiyu?"
His face turned red, his voice stuttered, and he didn't dare to look at the other person.
"My name is Du Yan." said the girl.
Du Yan... Is this Miss Wei Yu's real name?
While Wei Ziyi was still in a daze, Du Yan had already sat down on the chair.
She propped up her chin and looked at the dazed boy. His appearance was great, but... his personality was a little dull?
Same as Xiaowei.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down quickly." Du Yan said.
Wei Ziyi came back to his senses and sat down opposite Du Yan, staring at the table, not daring to look at her.
He could feel the girl's chin resting on her hand as she looked at him with a burning gaze.
"Why are you sitting so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Du Yan said with a smile.
"No, I was afraid of offending the girl." Wei Ziyi explained quickly, but still did not look at her directly.
At the beginning, Wei Ziyi was still very restrained, but when he started talking about the storybook, the boy suddenly became lively.
Du Yan didn't say much. Most of the time, Wei Ziyi was talking and Du Yan was listening, occasionally adding a few words.
When talking about the ending of a character in a storybook, the two people had an argument.
Du Yan thought a happy ending would be better, but Wei Ziyi felt that based on the characters' personalities, it would definitely be a tragedy.
"I think Du Xiniang will let go of her hatred and be with Lan Sheng, and they will grow old together." Du Yan said.
"Du Xiniang is a chivalrous woman. She will never live in disgrace. She will only die holding her knife." Wei Ziyi said.
"The purpose of reading storybooks is to have fun. It's enough to be happy. The writer is happy, and the reader is happy too. Why bother about so many things?" Du Yan said.
"The characters in the storybooks are all vivid, and the writer cannot decide their fate." Wei Ziyi said seriously.
Du Yan looked at him expressionlessly for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "You look like this, but it reminds me of someone."
Wei Ziyi also came back to his senses and felt embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I just don't think that's the case. I thought you would understand me..."
He and Wei Yu's thoughts have always been in line with each other, and the two have never had any disagreements.
He was very surprised that there was a disagreement on this matter. He always felt that his relationship with Weiyu was missing something compared to their correspondence...
"Wei Ziyi, do you like Wei Yu?" Du Yan suddenly changed the subject.
Wei Ziyi didn't expect her to be so straightforward and was stunned again.
Besides, isn't she Wei Yu? Why does it feel like someone else is mentioned when I mention Wei Yu?
"If Weiyu was in poor health or sick, would you still like her?" Du Yan continued to ask, his expression becoming extremely serious.
