crossing the northern latitude

The organizer's red carpet ceremony seemed perfunctory in Meng Tunan's view.

He and Li Xiaoyuan... No, when he and Li Yuting passed by, their expressions were all confused, and they always felt that everything was unreal.

At the end, she turned her head and asked him softly, "How have you been these years?"

"...It's not good, but it's not bad, so let's do it." Meng Tunan also replied softly, "It doesn't look like you have a successful career at the moment."

"Haha, why are you always afraid to look at me! It's too good-looking to look straight at me?"

"It's just that I'm not used to it..." Meng Tunan looked at her and thought for a while, "Actually, you used to be quite good-looking. I told you that you look much better with your bangs..."

"Ah?" Li Yuting raised his eyebrows, "I have suffered a lot for this face now, don't you think it is not as good-looking as before?"

"No..." Meng Tunan waved his hand, "I just think it's more familiar before... Can I continue to call you Li Ziyuan, I always think this name is very cute."

"No." Her face sank, "When I changed my name, I asked a master to calculate it. He said that my previous name was unlucky, and I had to call Yuting to get better."

They were silent for a while.

Then she asked Meng Tunan if he still had contact with the former classmates.Meng Tunan said that he hadn't been back to Dingyan for a long time, and only knew the few people he was familiar with... Li Ya became a nurse after graduation, and Wang Tao, who was in the physical education class, had long been separated.Yang Cheng, who once bullied her, is working as a real estate agency, and now he posts advertisements in Meng Tunan's circle of friends all day long...

She listened carefully, occasionally responding with a smile or two.Although she didn't show it, Meng Tunan guessed that she was more or less concerned about the past in her heart, so she stopped talking after talking about a few people.

"Why don't you ask me if I'm doing well?"

Meng Tunan turned his head to take a closer look at her - a very strange and beautiful face, only the eyes seemed familiar.Thinking of the ups and downs she went through, Meng Tunan felt a little sad.

"Whether you're living well or not, you've worked hard." He didn't know why he said this, "I also regretted it later... I should have stood up to help you with Lu Yan at that time, I'm sorry."

After listening to this sentence, Li Yuting, who had been smiling decently, froze his hand, and then pulled it out.

After leaving their autographs, they began to take photos together, and Li Yuting was not willing to stand next to him... After the show ended, several of her entourage suddenly came out, handing her clothes and bags.

Meng Tunan followed her anxiously for a while, and seeing that she ignored him, he could only squeeze in and beg, "Auntie, at least you keep your word."

She turned around with an impatient expression: "I regret it, I'm in a bad mood now, and I don't want to tell you."

"..." Meng Tunan had a terrible headache, "Although I don't know how to make you unhappy...but do I still have a chance?"

"Yes." She raised her chin, "but you want to buy me a drink."

"Okay." Meng Tunan replied, "Tell me where you want to go."

After waiting outside, Meng Tunan took out his mobile phone and called Gao Xue a taxi: "You go back first, I'll talk to my friend."

Gao Xue was in a hurry, and pulled Meng Tunan to the side and said, "That's not okay, Mr. Meng, the boss told me to follow you, and you can't go to the dinner party where you want to drink. You just went to the hospital last week. In case And... if it doesn't work, let me follow, and I'll hold you a few drinks..."

Seeing the car coming, Meng Tunan hurriedly drove her away: "You don't have to follow my private matters, just go back."

Gao Xue stepped back and got into the car.

Li Yuting asked to eat barbecue, and he must also ask for a roadside stall, preferably a restaurant where Meng Tunan once ate, and said that he could not eat it, and only wanted to watch Meng Tunan eat.

"If you want to look good, you have to keep your mouth shut." She sighed, "Sometimes I'm so greedy, I'm hungry in the middle of the night and want to eat but I don't dare to eat, I just watch the food show and fantasize that I'm eating, and my eyes are full of tears..."

The cold beer and the ordered skewers are on the table, and it looks like a very lively table eating.This stall has a good business. It is located near the university where Mengtunan studied. Most of the people in the seats are young people.

While drinking beer, Meng Tunan looked at a few students in school uniforms on the side of the road. They were waiting in front of the stall with their schoolbags on their backs, talking and laughing. They probably came to buy food after evening self-study.

Li Yuting also held his chin to watch with him, and sighed: "Although my student days were not good, I still feel a little nostalgic when I see students occasionally... Do you think it is because I have regrets?"

Regret.

"Well, I think it was very interesting to do anything at that time." Meng Tunan smiled, "I used to pull Lu Yan to eat supper in the evening of self-study in high school. But he is too picky eater. If he doesn't eat this, he won't eat that. I always feel that his life is really boring, how can people not like to eat!"

"You just love food so much! You dare to eat noodles in the classroom in the morning self-study..."

"Hahaha, you said eating noodles, I remembered that once I was caught eating breakfast by Yang Wenyi, she kicked me and kicked off my shoes, remember? She was wearing Mickey Mouse socks that day..."

While chatting and laughing, the few students who bought barbecue had already checked out and picked up their meals and walked away. The shadow of the school uniform became farther and farther away in sight.

Meng Tunan felt a sense of loss for a moment.

There is something wrong with everything.Li Xiaoyuan has turned into Li Yuting, and he can no longer see the shadow of his previous submissiveness.Now she is confident and beautiful, and she lifts her chin when speaking, as if she has completely got rid of the past.

"Lu Yan..." he finally asked, "Which city do you live in now?"

Li Yuting said: "In T City, the company is signed there."

Meng Tunan's eyes widened after hearing this: "T City?"

"I didn't expect that, did you?" She winked at him, "You looked outside, but he hid instead."

I didn't expect it.

Meng Tunan was shocked: "My family showed me a photo of him abroad... I really thought he had gone abroad, and I asked my friends in New Zealand to inquire about him, and I have been looking for him for a long time... "

He thought for a while, then asked, "Have you been in touch with him all these years?"

"Yeah, he's helped me a lot these years." She nodded, "But he's very busy. After joining the company, he always flies around the world. We meet less. He doesn't like making new friends...he will keep in touch with me. Maybe it’s just nostalgia.”

After hearing this, Mengtunan became a little depressed again.

Even if you look for her, you don't want to look for yourself.

Li Yuting smiled and shook his head: "It's been so long, can't you let it go?"

Meng Tunan forced a smile: "In fact, I don't think I've been separated from him. He ran away, so it's all right if I get him back?"

Li Yu paused for a moment: "Maybe he doesn't think so."

"Anyway, I didn't agree at the time." Meng Tunan said, "Breakups don't count."

She shook her head: "Don't you think that some people don't have to be together, and it's more suitable to remember it at this time? It's been so many years, take out the rice that has been cold for so many years, and fry it, are you afraid of getting stomachache? "

"...You can't say something I like to hear!"

"Because I think you don't need to look for him anymore." Li Yuting glanced at him, "Haven't you talked to five, six, seven or eighty people over the years, and your ex has a group?"

"...Am I so philandering in your heart?!"

"It looks like it." Li Yu stopped spreading his hands, "If you want to blame it, blame your face for being too frivolous."

"I really don't have time to flirt with others." Meng Tunan was helpless, "I was angry with myself when I was in college, and I was depressed every day... When I was in graduate school, I followed a very good teacher. For half a year, I was also asked to follow...Deep Mountain and Old Lin, sister, no one told me to fall in love with you. After graduation, I will only focus on making money...I haven't made much money yet."

"People and wealth are empty." Li Yu stopped laughing, "You are a widow, have you ever thought about what he will do if he has someone else?"

"It's normal if there is." Meng Tunan said against his will and without confidence, "I just want to clarify the things I didn't ask clearly, and I won't pester him."

Li Yuting couldn't help laughing: "Really? What if he gets married?"

marry?

Mengtunan's hand holding the cup froze: "He won't."

The determined tone made Li Yuting feel a little uncomfortable.

She shrugged: "well, it turns out that you have survived by deceiving yourself and others all these years."

Mengtunan began to feel a little anxious.

He twitched his eyebrows and asked, "Can you tell me where he lives? The contact information is also fine..."

Li Yuting shook his head: "I can't tell you."

"? Didn't I say..."

"You believe me when I tell you?" She said in a casual tone, "I just want to trick you into getting drunk with me, and avenge the others who bullied me that you turned a blind eye to."

"..." Meng Tunan hesitated, "Sure enough, beautiful women are the best at deceiving people. Li Xiaoyuan, are you sure you want to be a beautiful and bad woman!"

Li Yuting twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that this is a bad woman?

"Tell me not to call me by that name."

"Li Xiaoyuan, Li Xiaoyuan, Li Xiaoyuan!" Meng Tunan yelled, "I'll keep shouting if you don't say it."

She was really angry.That name was the three words she hated the most, and she didn't even want to hear it.

After thinking about it, she was ready to take revenge, took out her mobile phone and showed him a photo, and said, "Then let me show you something good."

In the photo, Lu Yan is leading a little girl walking on the grass. He is stroking the child's head with one hand and holding an ice cream in the other. The picture is quite warm.The little girl had two pigtails and a pink skirt, with a very cute face.

Meng Tu Nanzai looked at it carefully for a long time, and then his voice changed: "...Whose child?"

"Isn't it obvious? It looks like Lu Yanchang." Li Yuting took back his phone, "There is no one in this world who is obliged to wait for you all the time. You should also look forward."

Meng Tunan seemed to be stunned, and after a long time he raised his head and asked, "His?"

"It's almost three years old." Li Yuting spoke seriously, "Look, he has his own life, so if you let him go, you can also let yourself go."

Then there was a long silence... Li Yuting felt that Meng Tunan's expression for those few minutes was really quite, very scary.

He took a deep breath for a while, and began to drink one cup after another... Originally, he didn't want to drink much today, but at this time, he needed alcohol to paralyze himself.

Li Yuting looked at the others as if he had collapsed all of a sudden, thinking about how to explain it... But Meng Tunan was already drunk at the speed of light before he found the steps.

He was drunk, and had reached the stage of drunken madness... He hugged the wine bottle and cried, with both emotions.Although he looks embarrassed and pitiful...but it is really very funny.

...I know it's not very good, but Li Yuting still couldn't help holding back a smile and took a small video and sent it to Lu Yan.

After a while, Meng Tunan lowered his head and covered his stomach with his hands.

"My stomach hurts every time I think about him so much. That's the time."

She echoed, "Stomach pain?"

"Yes, my stomach hurts." He nodded, "I'll feel nauseous, dizzy..."

"I'm pregnant." Li Yu stopped laughing, "It's alright, alright, are you still awake? Listen to me..."

"No...you don't talk!" Meng Tunan interrupted her with his tongue out, "Drink! Don't talk!"

The cup was touched, and Meng Tunan drank it in one gulp.Thinking that the beer was too cold, he asked the waiter to bring a white beer, opened it and poured it directly into his mouth with the mouth of the bottle, and it actually tasted tragic.

"Slow down..." Li Yuting persuaded, "How can you drink like this."

Meng Tunan waved his hand, his eyes were red again, and he began to complain about his suffering——

"If we had talked well and made it clear when he left, then I wouldn't be so upset... But we were not, he disappeared suddenly at that time, and he left after leaving a word... Boss I thought he was waiting for me to coax me, but I couldn’t find anyone. Now that I found him, you told me that he didn’t wait for me! Yeah, how he’s doing now has nothing to do with me, I’m just pretending to be sentimental. sick!"

As he talked, he choked up, his tone was crying, his face was full of grievances, and sadness overflowed from his eyes.

Conscience came back a bit, Li Yuting was about to explain, but the next second Meng Tunan slid down from the stool, curled up, clutching his abdomen tightly, with a ferocious expression on his face.

At first, he thought it was because he drank too much and couldn't sit still, so he took a closer look—Meng Tunan's face was pale, and there was a thin circle of sweat on his forehead, and he was still pressing his stomach tightly, saying that it hurts, he hurts.

"Where does it hurt?!"

"Here." He pointed to his chest and covered his stomach again, "It hurts."

"...Meng Tunan!" She panicked, "What's going on! Don't scare me... The one I lied to you just now is his uncle's child!!"

Li Yuting never expected that she would send Meng Tunan to the hospital with a prank, and he also suffered from acute gastric ulcer!

With a strong sense of guilt, she hurriedly called Lu Yan when Meng Tunan was operating inside, but the call was not connected until an hour later.

Lu Yan just landed there.

"Why did you answer the phone!!"

The wind was strong at the airport, and Lu Yan's voice in the receiver was also accompanied by the wind: "I just landed... What's wrong? I haven't had time to read the WeChat you sent."

"I was wrong." She hastily apologized, "I brought Meng Tunan to the hospital, we drank some wine... The doctor said that he had an old problem, this time it was a gastric ulcer with a hole, and he needed an operation. "

She hurriedly recounted what happened that night, and Lu Yan immediately became anxious after hearing it——

"Why do you make up your own mind to meet him? Drinking... Drinking is fine, why are you lying to him? He goes crazy when he is stimulated..."

"... How could I have thought that he really believed it!"

"...You shouldn't see him, isn't it all agreed?" Lu Yan spoke quickly, "How will it end now!"

"I couldn't help it... At that time, I just saw that he was too poor to tease him, who knew that his stomach was so fragile!" Li Yuting said in annoyed tone, "My fault is my fault. Where are you, can you come here? , do you want to fly tomorrow?"

"I flew to Tokyo today, and I'll go back..." Lu Yan hesitated, "It's not convenient for me to see him, or you will guard for me?"

Li Yuting resolutely decided to sell Lu Yan: "I have an important event tomorrow, and I'll be leaving later... You can either leave Meng Tunan alone in the hospital or come back quickly."

"I can't see him!"

"Why can't we see each other, don't talk about that with me!"

"Li Yu stop!" Lu Yan yelled angrily, "Did you do it on purpose! You know..."

She quickly interrupted: "That's it, I'm hanging up." After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone neatly.

Li Yuting didn't really leave. After sending the hospital's address and floor room number to Lu Yan, he stayed in the hospital, thinking that if Lu Yan didn't dare to come, he would accompany Meng Tunan until he was discharged from the hospital. Anyway, he made it up by himself. sin.

Unsurprisingly, Lu Yan came the next morning.

At that time, she had just woken up not long ago, leaning against the accompanying bed, yawning and scrolling through Weibo, when she saw someone peeking inside the door, she knew who it was just by looking at her figure.

She smiled, and said softly to Meng Tunan who was still sleeping on the hospital bed with a pale face: "This wave is not a loss. I was called back for you. It is my atonement. When I wake up, there will be a surprise."
