09

After the wedding banquet.

My roommate and I are going out.

But it rained outside.

The voices were buzzing and stirring, and someone was calling their family to pick up an umbrella.

But the commotion was like a dark sea, with a current converging and finally stopping behind me.

"Junior sister."

I suddenly straightened my back.

Even the roommate who complained about not taking an umbrella stopped speaking.

Let's all turn back together.

Meng Jingtong gasped for breath as he waved at me. A few people stepped aside and he walked towards me.

Meng Jing opened his mouth and rubbed his palms vigorously on his trousers.

I also smiled and squeezed my roommate's hand tightly, trying to appear calm and generous: "Senior, long time no see!"

He said, "Hmm."

I took a small step back and wanted to say goodbye.

Meng Jingtong immediately spoke up and called out to me, "Did you eat that?"

The three of us who had just eaten together fell silent at the same time.

My roommate chuckled and quickly buried his head when he saw my expression, his expression serious as grief stricken.

"Hmm, the food is pretty good." I thought the pleasantries were over and tentatively took a step back.

Meng Jing asked urgently, "Shrimp, have you eaten shrimp?"

"I ate it."

"How about Braised pork belly?"

Meng Jingtong put his hand into his pocket, glanced at me, and then took out his hand.

"Yes, I also ate it."

"Oh, oh, that's good."

He thought for a moment, tidied up his tie, and put his hand back into his pocket.

"How about Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients)?"

"I've eaten it, senior. Have you eaten it?"

"I didn't eat, the calories were too high, and the agent didn't let me eat."

"Oh."

We stood at the hotel entrance, our big eyes wide open.

Fortunately, the wedding banquet did not invite many people, only acquaintances, and no one took photos randomly.

The roommate held his breath for a long time and said in a low, unpromising voice, "I didn't eat Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients). I just wanted to pinch it, but someone else turned the plate. I didn't dare to turn the plate. I wanted Tang Zhuxing to help me turn the plate. She didn't care about me at that time."

My face turned red.

I was still listening to Meng Jingtong sing at that time.

Meng Jing nodded and thought of something, "Wait a moment, I'll go find Chen Ming and ask for an extra seat. He has prepared an extra seat, so there should be some left."

He ran backwards and waved at us, saying, "Wait for me, don't leave yet, wait for me!"

He turned around and ran away completely.

My roommate asked me anxiously, "Is it because we gave less gift money and he's hinting at us?"

I don't know.

All I know is that on that day, I took a Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients) and got into the car Meng Jingtong called us.

As he was getting on the bus, he took out two concert tickets from his pocket and handed them to me.

"Junior, if you have time, you can come and listen."

His eyelashes were too long, and rainwater dripped down from the tip. He wiped them off without any concern and bent down through the car window. The sound of the rain was too loud, and he shouted at me, "If you don't like my song, it's okay. This guest has Andy Lau! Come and see Andy Lau!"

Meng Jingtong is really foolish.

When the roommate came home, he put Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients) in the refrigerator.

She looked at me and sighed: "I still need to eat this Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients). Meng Jing sent it to you. It has been put in the freezer for you. I promise it will not be broken for ten years. It will be well preserved."

I smiled.

My roommate stared at me and suddenly said, "Do you want to try again?"

I looked at her with some surprise.

Because she used to dislike the way I was in love with Meng Jingtong.

But she just shrugged and said, "I used to know Meng Jingtong from you, but when I look at him today, it feels like he's not quite what I imagined."

"In life, sometimes you have to jump off a cliff with clarity, gamble on whether the cliff is shattered or has a unique secret."

"How can one walk the road safely and steadily for a lifetime?"
