Just as they were waiting, Wang Xiaolan and Liu Feng appeared at the door of the box.
The moment Liu Feng's eyes met Tan Wei's, time seemed to freeze, and he stood there as if struck by lightning.
Instantly, Liu Feng's mind was like a raging sea, flooded with countless memories. That familiar figure—Tan Wei—had suddenly appeared before him without warning! Even more astonishing was the fact that the Tan Wei standing before him looked exactly like the good brother from the future, so deeply enmeshed in his memory!
His first reaction was to ask himself, "Could it be that he also traveled through time? Was this dinner party deliberately arranged by Xiaolanzi?"
When he thought of this, the muscles on Liu Feng's face twitched involuntarily. You know, in his impression, his father and Tan Wei's father were not only work partners, but also superiors and subordinates!
Tan Wei and he grew up in the same compound, so Liu Feng knew Tan Wei very well.
At this moment, Liu Feng stared intently at Tan Wei, carefully observing his every move, every frown and smile. From his hearty laughter to the subtle expressions he occasionally let slip, even his tone and demeanor when speaking, they were identical to those of the later Tan Wei. If he had to find a single difference, it would probably be that the current Tan Wei was older than his later counterpart.
The moment Tan Wei saw Liu Feng enter the room, he froze in place as if struck by lightning, his heart awash with shock. The young man standing before him was actually his close childhood friend from the 21st century!
Memories flooded back like a tide, those beautiful childhood days still vivid in their minds. Back then, they were innocent and carefree, loving to play house together. And whenever they played the roles of husband and wife, they would vie to be Wang Xiaolan's "husband." On one occasion, their rivalry became so intense that they even resorted to physical combat.
Tan Wei clearly remembered that on the wedding day, Liu Feng, as best man, was sitting in the car behind the wedding car. But now, Liu Feng suddenly appeared here. Could it be that the truck had not only overturned the wedding car in front, but also the car following behind? This series of questions instantly plunged Tan Wei's mind into chaos.
Thinking of this, he cursed inwardly: "This damn truck, if I can go back, I will definitely find him to settle the score."
At this moment, Wang Xiaolan also noticed their surprise and confusion. She brought Liu Feng here mainly to further confirm her suspicions. Through her observation, she was very sure that Tan Wei was her fiancé in the future.
As for myself now, I no longer have the kind of feelings between men and women in later generations towards Tan Wei, but I have respect for him.
Yet, at this moment, Tan Xiaoxiao was completely oblivious to the subtle shift in the three of them. Her gaze remained fixed on Liu Feng, as if the world contained only this strikingly handsome man. The moment Liu Feng entered the private room, Tan Xiaoxiao's gaze was drawn to him like a magnet, unable to move even a fraction away.
Her cheeks flushed, like the most beautiful peach blossoms in bloom in spring, and she was so shy and envious. Her once calm heart was now like a wild horse, beating wildly, as if trying to break free from the constraints of her chest. Every heartbeat was accompanied by a strong throbbing, making it almost impossible for Tan Xiaoxiao to breathe.
At this moment, Liu Feng and Tan Wei seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and they both made a gesture that only they understood - it was their favorite gesture when they were children, full of childishness and memories.
At the same instant, as if they were in sync, the two of them rushed towards each other without hesitation. As they drew closer, their steps became increasingly rapid, and finally, they embraced each other tightly. In this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all the surrounding noise gradually faded away, leaving only two hearts beating violently at their reunion.
They were so excited that they even stuttered and faltered in their speech. Their joy was beyond words, and tears of emotion even glistened in their eyes.
"Feng...Fengzi?" Tan Wei shouted in a trembling voice.
"Wei...Wei Ge?" Liu Feng was also so excited that he was incoherent.
Hearing their unique way of addressing each other, Tan Xiaoxiao, standing nearby, couldn't help but widen her eyes, a look of suspicion on her face. She thought to herself, "What kind of strange name is this? My father has always been steady and would never lose his composure like this in front of guests."
Full of curiosity, Tan Xiaoxiao approached her father, Tan Wei, and asked softly, "Dad, are you familiar with this big brother?"
Liu and Tan emerged from their trance, as if awakened from a dream. It felt as if they had just experienced a strange and illusory dream. After a long while, they finally recovered. After looking at each other, they suddenly said in unison, "Ah! No, no..."
However, before they finished speaking, the two realized that their reaction was a bit inappropriate. They couldn't help but smile at each other and simply brushed off Tan Xiaoxiao's question.
Wang Xiaolan walked up to him with a smile and said, "Do you recognize me? Now we know each other, don't we? Come on, Xiaoxiao, let's go sit at the table over there."
After hearing what she said, Tan Xiaoxiao did not ask any further questions and sat down half-believingly. At this time, the waiter brought a plate of braised fish and placed it on the table, followed by a bowl of steaming chicken soup, braised lion's head, and other meat dishes.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Tan Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and thought to herself, "This dad, I've never seen him order food like this before. Is it because Dr. Wang saved Mom that he ordered like this? It would be great if my sister and brother-in-law were here today. Oh, and my sweet niece too."
Thinking of this, she just sighed secretly. What's wrong with her today? My sister and her family are a little strange. Just when she was lost in thought, Tan Wei next to her gently nudged her and said, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you help me greet the guests?"
After that, he picked up the chopsticks and said to Wang Xiaolan and Liu Feng, "Come on, don't be polite, there are no outsiders here."
Then he stood up, unscrewed the cap of a bottle of Moutai, and poured the wine into the glass in front of Liu Feng.
Liu Feng knocked twice on the table with his index finger, which is a common gesture of knocking hands at the wine table in later generations.
As he poured the wine, a meaningful smile hung on his face. He said to Liu Feng earnestly and with a hint of sarcasm, "Brother, look, this is genuine Moutai! The taste is mellow and soft, with a long aftertaste. It's not like the ones on the market in later generations..."
Having said this, he seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly glanced at his little daughter, Tan Xiaoxiao.
