In the evening, Mr. Yamada entertained everyone to eat sushi in the restaurant. To Jian Mingcheng's surprise, the young Japanese he saw on the snowy road yesterday were also there. It turned out that they were all Japanese students studying in a local university in Harbin. Like Mr. Yamada, he is also a member of the Harbin China-Japan Friendship Exchange Association—most of the Japanese who come here will join this association. They met Mr. Yamada through this, and they are also acquaintances.

Mr. Yamada's ski resort is only semi-open to the public, and all guests who come here must make an appointment, and everyone is more or less friendly.At this sushi banquet, almost all the guests were present, but even so, the entire banquet hall looked empty, and there were not many people in total.

The parents of Wang Xian and Wang Rui were also invited to the banquet. They saw Jian Mingcheng again and said a lot of words of thanks.But they were so polite, which made Jian Mingcheng feel a little uncomfortable.

It was also at this sushi banquet that Jian Mingcheng found out that Yuan Chen had arrived yesterday, and that he and Gu Enzhong had looked for him later; he also found out that the unkind visitor yesterday was called "Cheng Yu".

"I really didn't know you couldn't find your way back. I've already had someone beat me up because of this. I hope this can make up for my fault a little bit."

Jian Mingcheng looked at his face, it was indeed blue.Who hit it?Is Gu Enzhong?No, he couldn't quite imagine it.So he turned his head to look at Gu Enzhong, trying to get some clues from his expression - does he know what Cheng Yu said to him yesterday?What is the relationship between him and this man named Cheng Yu?

But he didn't see anything.

At this moment, little girl Mo Xueyan walked over here with Wang Xian. Both of them held a plate of sushi in their hands. Surrounded by ketchup and salad, some immature lace lines are drawn, just like the works made by children in the home economics class in kindergarten.

The little girl Mo Xueyan said: "Xiaoxian made this, and I want to give it to Mr. Jian."

Hearing this, Jian Mingcheng couldn't help laughing in surprise, Wang Xian looked very embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xueyan taught me to make this, it's my first time making this, it might not taste good... "

At this time, Jian Mingcheng had picked up a piece of delicately carved and hollowed-out short wooden sticks and put them into his mouth, slowly tasting them as if he was enjoying them.In fact, the taste can't really be said to be so good, but it's quite satisfactory, and it's not bad.So he smiled and said, "Thank you Xiaoxian, I think it's delicious."

"really?"

Jian Mingcheng said in a coaxing tone, "Well, of course it's true. Uncle likes it very much."

"Then...then we'll deliver the sushi to your room later." Perhaps because of the acknowledgment, Wang Xian was very excited, smiling like an elf, and blinking her eyes.

"Well, okay." Jian Mingcheng patted her on the head lightly, and said, "Now go and play with my younger brother, remember, follow Sister Xueyan, and don't run too far, let your parents worry, you know ?”

"Ok!"

When Jian Mingcheng turned around again, he found that Gu Enzhong and Mr. Yamada were talking to the guests together, while Yuan Chen and Cheng Yu didn't know where they went in a blink of an eye, only Gu Zhao was still standing by the dining shelf Eat and drink.So he stepped forward, grabbed Gu Zhao's shoulders, and said, "Come with me." Then he led him out of the banquet hall.

The ground in the yard outside is still covered with fine snow, and the moonlight is very bright, like a scene from some kind of fairy tale.There is a small pavilion in the corner of the yard. There is a swing next to the pavilion.

Gu Zhaoshang was still a little puzzled, he didn't know why Jian Mingcheng called him out, but he also guessed that Jian Mingcheng definitely wanted to whisper something to him, at least he couldn't let his brother know these words.

The two stood still next to the swing, and Gu Zhao took the initiative to sit on it, wrapping his arms around the swing rope from behind to fix the swing, but still did not put down the sushi in his hand.While eating, he asked, "Brother Cheng, you can say whatever you want. Don't worry, I will never tell my brother."

Jian Mingcheng stood leaning on the swing frame, and asked him: "Xiao Zhao, I want to know, during the time I was away yesterday, and when I was unconscious..."

"Oh——you're asking this." Gu Zhao didn't seem to care much, and hurriedly said, "After you and Cheng Yu left yesterday, my brother came back and went to find you when he saw you were not there. Later, I and Brother Chen waited for a long time and you didn't come back, so we went out to look for you..." Gu Zhao seemed to be full at last, hiccupped, and then continued to say unhurriedly, "It was snowing heavily at the time, we I don’t know where to find you, so I just walked and watched. Later, when it was almost dark, my brother called back from Xiao Rui’s parents’ mobile phone, saying that he had found you——in the end, Brother Chen and I As soon as I came back, I saw you lying on the bed—”

He exaggerated: "I am unconscious, my whole body is cold, and I am dying. Brother Cheng, you don't know that my brother was dying of anxiety at that time! It was said that I would send you to the hospital in the city overnight, but the doctor here said that it was actually The situation is not as serious as it seems, there is no need to bump in the car for several hours, and it is not safe to drive at night, so it is not done."

Gu Zhao said a lot, but he didn't get to the point.Jian Mingcheng reminded him: "Did your brother fight with Cheng Yu?"

"Ah?" Gu Zhao said, "It wasn't my brother who hit it. It was Brother Chen who hit it."

Jian Mingcheng was surprised, and Gu Zhao went on to say: "I don't know what's going on between them, it seems that Brother Chen and Cheng Yu knew each other before, I heard that he is also an actor, maybe he has collaborated in some dramas before. Not sure. But he probably isn’t well-known, anyway, I’ve never heard of him. That’s right!” He seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, “Brother Cheng, what did Cheng Yu ask you for yesterday? You two knew each other before. ?"

Jian Mingcheng shook his head, and after a while, he said, "No, I didn't say anything."

Gu Bao stared at him for a while, then looked away, threw the last piece of sushi on the plate into his mouth, and mumbled while chewing: "I really don't understand." I didn't know he was sighing something.

After Gu Zhao went in, Jian Mingcheng stayed alone in the yard, sitting on the swing and meditating alone.When Yuan Chen came out, this was what he saw.

He originally wanted to turn around and go back, but after taking two steps, he hesitated and stopped, and finally turned back, came to him, and greeted him: "Hey! Here it is!"

Jian Mingcheng didn't notice his approaching, and didn't come back to his senses until he made a sound, so he quickly stood up from the swing chair.Under the clear moonlight, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was really beautiful.

"Why alone? It looks so pitiful." Jian Mingcheng laughed dumbly, and Yuan Chen quickly continued: "But the really pitiful one is me, alone, alone..."

To this kind of words, Jian Mingcheng could only echo, "How could it be..."

"I'm telling the truth. I really envy you, and I especially envy Gu Enzhong." Yuan Chen spoke very seriously, and Jian Mingcheng had to get serious. Hearing him say, "In our circle, we can find someone who is just like us." It's not easy to treat people with sincerity, especially... no, there's nothing special, there's no difference between men and women."

Jian Mingcheng murmured, and said: "I've probably heard that there are too many things to worry about when interacting with people in the entertainment industry. The superficial glitz often makes people dazzled, and as time goes by, it's not easy to see what you really want. What do you want?"

"No." Yuan Chen denied very succinctly, "What you said does have some truth, but those are just some people. At least I always know what I want, and there is never a shortage of people around me. It's just... "

Yuan Chen hesitated to speak, but of course Jian Mingcheng didn't pursue it.He was originally waiting for Yuan Chen to speak, but he changed his words and asked him, "Have you read the book "Golden Tide"?"

Before Jian Mingcheng could react for a while, Yuan Chen continued, "It's the book written by Mr. Wu Meisen. The old man wrote many excellent plays during his lifetime. "Golden Tide" is one of his novels."

Jian Mingcheng has never read this book, and he doesn't know why Yuan Chen suddenly mentioned it, but since he mentioned it, it doesn't seem right if he doesn't express it at all.However, just as he was about to speak, Yuan Chen cut off his words and said, "If you don't go in, Gu Enzhong should look for you. How about it? Just give this position to me, a lonely family——have pity on yourself?"

Before Jian Mingcheng went in, he couldn't help but look back, and saw Yuan Chen sat down on the swing, his feet on the ground without shaking, like a sculpture.At that time, his heart twitched unexpectedly.

In the banquet hall, Mr. Yamada was speaking in the middle of the crowd, and Gu Enzhong stood with him.In a corner, he saw Gu Zhao lying sprawled on the sofa to digest his food, so he walked over to greet him and asked him to tell Gu Enzhong to go back to his room first.

Caretaker asked him if he was feeling a bit worried, and he quickly said, "No, it's just a little tired. Also, you should be more or less in moderation, don't overeat all at once and make your stomach burst. "

Gu Zhao patted his swollen belly and smirked, "It's okay, I eat a lot, hehe... oh... Sister Xueyan is really good at cooking, no wonder it is said that marrying a Japanese woman as a wife is a life Great luck..."

"Xueyan is a Chinese girl, don't be serious."

Gu Zhao was still smiling unscrupulously, Jian Mingcheng didn't say anything more, took a look at Gu Enzhong who was on the other side of the crowd, and went back to the room.
