On Saturday, at a friend's wedding banquet, there was a sea of people, drums and gongs roaring, and firecrackers blaring in unison.
My roommate and I arrived late because we took the wrong direction when changing subway lines.
My friend Chen is Meng Jingtong's classmate and is a good friend of the same club as my roommate.
I actually didn't expect Meng Jingtong to have such good friends.
Because, as far as I recall, he was quite busy in college, always rushing back and forth on his shared bike.
Upon seeing us, Brother Chen warmly greeted us and said, "Let's go. Our college classmates don't drink alcohol and are all at the children's table. Jing Tong has arrived and we are dancing."
Dancing?
We walked over in confusion, and when we pushed through the crowd and saw the person sitting at the table, I suddenly forgot everything.
All the noise has disappeared.
There is only one person left in the world, Meng Jingtong.
He sat on the chair with his hands on his knees, legs together, a wooden face, confused and restrained, afraid to even take a sip of water.
I just regained my senses and noticed the surroundings, falling into silence——
A group of friends were clapping their hands and circling around Meng Jingtong:
"Our hometown's big star~Meng Jingtong Xiansen~Come to our hometown~"
"Our hometown's big star~Meng Jingtong Xiansen~Come to our hometown~"
My roommate laughed for a while and joined without hesitation, clapping hands and following at the end of the team.
They have developed a new route and decided to use the method of jumping rubber bands to enrich the team's dance steps and enhance the fun of the movements.
Then I saw a group of mature men and women who were already working, putting on makeup, combing their backs, and some even starting to bald, forming a string, clapping their hands and clapping their beats, dancing around Meng Jing and saying, "Ze~it's~us~home~hometown~big~ming~star~"
The child at the nearby table was highlighted as particularly mature and steady, staring at them in terror.
Meng Jingtong finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up, saying, "Hey! You guys just slowed down the beat! I'm really angry!"
Everyone shrugged and hugged Meng Jingtong, sitting down again.
He inadvertently lifted his eyes and saw me accurately in the crowd.
Meng Jing gave me a fixed glance.
I quickly turned my face and pretended to be chatting enthusiastically with my roommate.
He didn't say hello to me.
Chen grabbed him and interrupted his gaze, as if wanting him to sing a song.
"What song to sing?"
"Whatever you like is fine."
Their voices gradually faded away.
I stopped laughing. I laughed too exaggeratedly just now, and I felt my lips sticking to my teeth, giving me an awkward feeling of dry hair.
"Are you okay?" asked the roommate.
I shook my head and said, "Hehe, you're quite happy. It's great to have a wedding banquet and see a big star."
My roommate gave me a deep glance and didn't say anything.
Over there, suddenly the sound from the speaker came to test the microphone.
Let's turn our heads together.
Meng Jingtong lowered his head and looked seriously at everyone below the stage.
He was standing on a makeshift platform in an ordinary hotel, but due to his face and overall demeanor, he seemed to be hosting a concert for tens of thousands of people to watch.
"I will give my favorite song to Chen Ming and his lover, wishing you a hundred years of good marriage and a happy marriage."
Chen smiled gently, unaware of what a wrong decision he had made.
Meng Jingtong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, cold and affectionate.
Fake cigarettes, fake alcohol, fake friends, fake friends~
Fake affection, false tenderness~
Coax me to your house~
In the middle of the night
"Stop!" Brother Chen was filled with anger, extremely loud, and panicked to the point where his mother-in-law almost glared through his back.
"I love you, come down, please, brother," he pleaded bitterly.
Meng Jingtong smiled and said, "In the future, don't encourage people to clap and jump rubber bands in front of me and praise me as a big star?"
Chen said, "Good brother, absolutely not."
Meng Jing smiled together, cleared his throat, and played the accompaniment.
That's his hit song "Rain in the Night"
You are passionate and interesting, yet obscure and difficult to understand
I have a long conversation with Moonlight Night
You are the only lantern in the universe
The dust of me falls into deeper dust
The still burning thoughts collapsed into sparkling salt
I will hide my love deeply
I listened quietly.
I forgot to clink a glass with my roommate and also forgot to pretend not to see him.
So much so that he lifted his eyes in the gaps, and the crowd was bustling, intertwined with my gaze.
Meng Jing smiled together.
In my opinion, he said politely and politely, "Long time no see.".
