thousand cups

In the dormitory, Shen Chaowen looked at the computer screen solemnly.

The roommate passed by his desk with a water glass, thinking that Shen Chaowen was studying knowledge, but saw that the search page of his computer stopped on the homepage of a certain brand, and he was looking at a men's shirt.

The roommate asked strangely: "Chaowen, do you want to buy such expensive clothes?"

Shen Chaowen quickly closed the page: "I'll just take a look."

He wanted to buy an identical one and return it to Jiang Mo, but after searching, he realized that he was a little cash-strapped.

It can be seen from a piece of clothing that he and Jiang Mo are not of the same class.His family is ordinary, his parents are divorced, he was brought up by his grandmother, his father is an alcoholic, and the money he earns is not enough for him to buy alcohol.After my mother remarried, she was barely able to live. Every time she paid her living expenses, she had to look at her current husband's face.As for Jiang Mo, his family background is very good at first glance. He lives in a small three-story bungalow in the urban area, wears expensive clothes, and his parents have decent jobs. His daily life probably consists of drinking, growing flowers, and visiting exhibitions. ...

There is indeed a gap between people and between classes and classes, which cannot be denied.

Then the problem is coming.

Why return Jiang Mo's favor?A piece of clothing, a one-night stay, a bowl of noodles... These are things that are already very difficult to pay off in Shen Chaowen's heart.

After going back to school and living a normal life for a few days, he felt that he still hadn't recovered from the drunkenness that night. When discussing issues with Zhang Ziyi, he was not as active as usual, but just listened dully.

For the relationship of "friends", Shen Chaowen has a very clear boundary in his heart.For example, Zhang Ziyi, they are friends who eat together, study together, and do not involve more exchanges.From childhood to adulthood, most of Shen Chaowen's friends were like Zhang Ziyi.

In Shen Chaowen's heart, "sleeping together" can make a qualitative change in a relationship. After sleeping like that for one night, Jiang Mo's position in his heart changed instantly. He was no longer a strange brother, but at least a friend. Be closer than ordinary friends.

He saw Zhang Ziyi every day, but he would never sleep with Zhang Ziyi.

He and Jiang Molong hadn't met a few times, but somehow they slept together.

...it's all the wine's fault.

While eating in the cafeteria, Zhang Ziyi noticed that Shen Chaowen had a tendency to waste, and asked with concern: "Is the food delicious?"

Shen Chaowen shook his head: "I haven't had a good appetite these two days."

"Aren't you nervous about the game?"

Shen Chaowen shook his head: "That's not true. I love competitions. I've been excited whenever there are competitions since I was a child."

Zhang Ziyi: "...I see, you like to win. Then why are you bothered?"

Shen Chaowen said: "It was a coincidence."

After chatting for a while, the phone rang.

Shen Chaowen took it out and took a look, um, it happened again by chance, what a coincidence.

After struggling for a few seconds, I still answered.

"……Hey?"

Over there, the nonsense part was skipped directly: "Are you at school?"

"exist."

"Come out and treat me to dinner now, it's rare for me to come to school." His tone was unceremonious and very natural, "Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Chaowen looked at the half-eaten plate: "Well... I didn't eat it."

"Then come out, I'm at the door of the library." Jiang Mo said, "Where are you? Should I come to you?"

"I came to see you. Which library are you in?"

"Liberal Arts Library."

After a brief exchange, Shen Chaowen hung up the phone, hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Ziyi, ran all the way to find Jiang Mo, and invited him to dinner.

...I just don't know what Jiang Mo wants to eat, Shen Chaowen is a little worried that he doesn't have enough money.

When he arrived, Jiang Mo was standing outside the library, reading the book in his hand as if no one else was there.

Shen Chaowen approached him, before he could speak, he saw the... cat hair on his black coat?

This should be the scene that obsessive-compulsive disorder hates to see the most.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Mo closed the book: "Finally here, let's go."

Shen Chaowen nodded and asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Mo thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria."

canteen?

Shen Chaowen, who had just come out of the cafeteria, was a little speechless: "Go out to eat, how can I take you to the cafeteria."

"What's wrong with the cafeteria? It's delicious." Jiang Mo wondered, "I used to eat it every day at school."

"I mean, please have something good."

"The cafeteria is very good, I love the cafeteria!"

...He is not particular about food.

Under Jiang Mo's insistence, Shen Chaowen could only take Jiang Mo back to the cafeteria.He paid 13 yuan and treated the elder brother to a braised pork rice with a chicken leg added.Shen Chaowen really lost his appetite, so he bought some porridge.

Jiang Mo was very puzzled by his appetite: "You usually eat so little?"

"I don't really want to eat today." Shen Chaowen didn't want to talk about it with him, so he changed the subject, "Are you here at school?"

He didn't live in the dormitory before, and now he is a senior. He doesn't like to go to class very much, so he probably rarely comes to school.

Jiang Mo pointed to the books on the table: "Come and borrow some books."

oh.Shen Chaowen looked at the covers of those books, such as drama theory, film analysis...

"You also have a lot of movies and drama books at home." Shen Chaowen recalled his bookcase, "Are you very interested?"

Jiang Mo gnawed on the chicken leg and nodded: "Yes, I want to be a director in the future."

Shen Chaowen didn't take his words seriously at the time, thinking that Jiang Mo was just talking, and said it casually.

"You don't study philosophy?"

"Philosophy is a worldview and methodology." He took another bite of the drumstick, "This will not affect what I will do in the future, it will only help."

Well, it really doesn't matter.With money and leisure, you can do anything in your life without burdens.

What's worth mentioning is that Jiang Mo's food looks delicious and delicious...Shen Chaowen saw him eating chicken legs with great relish, and finally managed to make himself hungry.

After dinner, he sent Jiang Mo out to wait for the car.

Before getting into the car, Shen Chaowen peeked at Jiang Mo for a long time, but couldn't hold back, and patted the cat hair on his clothes... The clothes should be quite expensive.

Jiang Mo followed his movements to look at his shoulder, and said in a flat tone, "Well, the hair of the kitten."

It was so uncomfortable to watch... Shen Chaowen couldn't stop his hands at all, so he plucked a few hairs for him, thinking that I must give him a hair sticking device when we meet next time.

After a while, the car arrived.Shen Chaowen pushed him lightly: "Okay brother, let's go, see you next time."

Hearing him call out, Jiang Mo was very helpful. She read him with a book in her arms for a while, had fun for a while, and said, "Remember to come to me during the holidays." He happily got into the car.

Came here, borrowed books, ate at the cafeteria... and left.

The car is gone.Shen Chaowen walked back slowly, and when he reached the branch road back to the dormitory and to the cafeteria, the scene of Jiang Mo eating chicken legs suddenly started automatically playing in his mind...

Finally, he walked back to the cafeteria for the third time and bought himself two chicken legs.

On the day of the holiday, Shen Chaowen sent a text message to Jiang Mo, saying that he could go over and help watch the night to observe the blooming of Epiphyllum.The other party quickly replied: "Very good, hurry up!!"

Two exclamation points, it looks urgent.

When I got to his house, I realized that there were other guests in his house.

Listening to the movement, it seems that there is more than one.

Seeing him enter the yard, a man enthusiastically ran over and introduced himself: "Brother, hi! My name is Tang Li."

Who are you, who is your brother.Shen Chaowen rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, and nodded to him, showing no reaction on his face.

As a result, Tang Li's next sentence was: "You were drunk and hugged Jiang Mo's thigh that night, and I pulled you away! It's so fun to be drunk!"

Shen Chaowen: "..." Sometimes it only takes a second to hate someone.

There are indeed many people in Jiang Mo's house, seven or eight men and women, they are crowded in front of the wine cabinet on the first floor talking, and some people are smoking.

"Is he not here?" Shen Chaowen asked.

"Going to move the equipment, I want to take pictures of his flowers."

Just looking at a flower, so many people are called.

Shen Chaowen looked at the people in the living room and shook his head: "He also told me that he invited many people to come, but no one wanted to come."

"In the beginning, no one really wanted to come, but then Jiang Mo didn't believe in evil, saying that he would open a bottle of very good red wine." Tang Li spread his hands, "This trick is very useful, and everyone has come. People, it is so realistic! "

Jiang Mo's friends follow him, they are familiar and talkative.

"Is it expensive wine?"

Tang Li smiled: "Well, it's the same age as him, a bottle of Chardonnay. It's not only expensive, but also very meaningful. It was given to Jiang Mo by his penpal when he was an adult." The tone was joking.

"What penpal?"

"He's a pen pal from abroad. We all thought it was his date, but Jiang Mo said no." Tang Li laughed, "They exchanged letters for many years."

pen pal?Indeed rare.

He stood in the yard listening to Tang Li's nonsense, the more he listened, the less interested he became.

Anyway, Jiang Mo doesn't need anyone to accompany him, so why not go back?

Well, go back.

Shen Chaowen put down the dry-cleaned clothes and the hair sticky device he had given to Jiang Mo, and bid farewell to Tang Li.Tang Li kept him all the way to the door, just in time to run into Jiang Mo who came back with a camera.

Tang Li hurriedly said: "Jiang Mo! Look, you are about to leave as soon as your appetizers arrive!"

Shen Chaowen frowned: "...?" Appetizers? ?

Jiang Mo was still carrying the equipment on his shoulders, and glanced at Shen Chaowen: "What are you going to do, come and help!"

"..." He really didn't see anything at all.

Shen Chaowen could only walk over to help lift the camera.When the equipment was put down, Shen Chaowen was about to leave again, but Jiang Mo didn't give him a chance to speak, so he started ordering him to get cups, wash fruit, spread tablecloths, and scoop ice with an ice bucket...Jiang Mo himself was in the yard I fiddled with the borrowed video camera, and talked to Shen Chaowen from time to time, telling him where everything was kept.Auntie was not at home, Jiang Mo said she went home to see her granddaughter on vacation.

After finishing the arrangement outside, Jiang Mo helped Shen Chaowen's shoulders into the kitchen and asked him to prepare food together.They are all cold dishes, ginger pork knuckle, drunken shrimp, beef in sauce, Wenzhou fish cake... Fortunately, they are all ready-made and ready-made, just put them on the plate.

When the food and wine were served, Shen Chaowen told Jiang Mo that he wanted to leave, and the dormitory was closed later.Jiang Mo was stunned when he heard the words, and asked him: "What should I do if you leave?"

Shen Chaowen: "...Isn't everything ready? I really have to go, there is a gate control."

"Sleep with me." Jiang Mo said, "Didn't you agree to stay with me on New Year's Day? Anyway, the school is on holiday, so you should come to my place to improve the food, and I will make the bed for you."

Shen Chaowen still declined: "It's really not possible, living with you is also very troublesome."

"No, I might get drunk today." Jiang Mo pulled his face, "Are you going to leave and leave me alone?"

At least leave him something to eat before leaving.

"...Isn't this at your house? Just go upstairs when you're drunk." And he has so many friends.

"The third floor! The third floor!" Jiang Mo fussed, "Do you have the heart to let me climb the third floor when I'm drunk?"

"..." Those who didn't know thought he was talking about the [-]th floor.

In the end, I stayed and didn't make it.

It was because of that holiday that he failed to make it in the following years.

Shen Chaowen thought he was the only person present who didn't drink, but when he sat down, he found that Sophia, the owner of the bar, was also there. There was no wine glass in front of her, only a pot of tea.

Shen Chaowen walked over, she smiled and handed him a small cup, and asked, "Why don't you sit over there, don't you want to taste the red wine of more than 20 years?"

I really don't want to.Shen Chaowen asked her back, "Why don't you drink?" Sophia said, "I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink at all." Shen Chaowen smiled: "You are allergic to alcohol, so you don't drink at all, and you even opened a bar."

"Yes, and I can also mix a lot of drinks." Sophia smiled, "I earn money from alcoholics every day."

"Aren't you going to open the door today?"

"Give yourself a day off once in a while."

She is beautiful and talkative, Shen Chaowen likes her personality, and chatted with her not long after.

There is red wine that has been opened for more than 20 years.Shen Chaowen leaned his face and watched Jiang Mo flip his palm, turning the wine knife in a circle.With the other hand, he was playing with the bottle of wine, slowly stroking the body of the bottle, his movements were very gentle, and he seemed a little affectionate.

Tang Li was the closest to him, his brows twitched, and he scolded: "Look at him! Opening a drink is so erotic, it looks like undressing." Someone answered with a smile: "Isn't the wine his wife? You'll have to drink for the rest of your life."

Jiang Mo just laughed, ignored their teasing, and opened the wine slowly.It was obvious that he enjoyed the process.

The cork was pulled out, the wine was opened, and a mellow aroma jumped in the air instantly.After a while, the whole yard began to be filled with the charming aroma of wine.

He poured wine for everyone, then came over with the bottle of wine, and asked Shen Chaowen if he would like to taste a little, saying that the bottle of red wine was not simple, and it was as old as him this year.Shen Chaowen said no to drinking, and advised him to drink less and not to be greedy.Seeing his disgust, Jiang Mo said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean, it seems that my wine is a disgusting thing." Shen Chaowen didn't hide it, and expressed his prejudice against wine: "Things that make people lose control, indeed It's not a good thing." Jiang Mo reasoned with him: "Why was he beaten to death with a stick? In ancient times, there was He Zhizhang who exchanged golden turtles for wine, Li Bai with five-flowered horses, Qianjinqiu, and Hu'er Jiang for fine wine. Are these poets all fools? Are they idiots? Maybe they wrote such good poems after drinking alcohol." Shen Chaowen calmly imposed cause and effect on him: "Won't literary giants write poems without drinking alcohol? Is there an inevitable relationship between drinking alcohol and writing poems?" Relationship?" It was really difficult.The corner of Jiang Mo's mouth twitched: "I mean, our country does have a poetic wine culture. Sometimes, wine is charming." Shen Chaowen shook his head: "The charming feeling is short-lived, it's an illusion. Hallucinations are easy disappear, but the damage caused by alcohol to the body will not disappear." Jiang Mo disagreed: "People always need some illusions to live, and they cannot all be real."

Shen Chaowen shook his head, and wanted to argue with him, but Sophia couldn't listen any longer, and interrupted with a teacup: "Okay, okay, what are you arguing about, cheers!"

Jiang Mo toasted them directly with the red wine bottle, raised the bottle, and drank the said to be very precious red wine in one gulp.You shouldn't drink it like this, it's not elegant, it's not good-looking, it's not the rule of drinking red wine, but he doesn't seem to care about it, just drink it.

Everyone laughed and booed when they saw it, saying that he was stingy, that he drank such a good wine by himself, and there was still a little left, which should be shared.Jiang Mo smiled and pointed to the table: "There are still five bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, enough for you to drink."

sauvignon blanc.Shen Chaowen was curious and asked: "The name of the wine is Sauvignon Blanc?" Jiang Mo said: "Yes, it is a kind of white wine." Shen Chaowen asked shamelessly: "Why is the foreign wine called Sauvignon Blanc? Such a classic name." Jiang Mo Said: "I have to ask the translator. Maybe the person who chose the name was drunk at the time and didn't pay attention to Xinyada. He just remembered the name of the word and used it just for arty." Shen Chaowen laughed: "In order to be able to A little more expensive?" Jiang Mo also laughed and said, "Maybe."

When Tang Li heard him talking about sauvignon blanc, he shook the wine in his glass, and said to the people around him: "Sauvignon blanc, in Chang'an." The person didn't catch it and took a sip of wine.Like drumming and passing flowers, they tacitly began to recite the song "Sauvignon Blanc" as a game, and those who couldn't catch up were punished with a sip of wine.Most people don't remember it, and it has been passed down to Shen Chaowen, and only the phrase "beauty is like a flower is separated from the clouds".

How is it like an exam.This group of people is quite elegant and a little nervous.Shen Chaowen was not too fond of poems and songs. He didn't find this poem from his memory bank. He picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp. He said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I can't recite it. I'm a science student who studies the law." They laughed in unison.Jiang Mo also laughed at him: "What kind of excuse is this? I'm still a science student studying philosophy, so I can memorize it!"

He began to read.There is a long sky of green and dark above, and the waves of Lushui below.Everyone kept silent and listened quietly to Jiang Mo's recitation.The tone is neither fast nor slow, with just the right ups and downs, quite a tone.Shen Chaowen listened intently, and felt that Jiang Mo's voice was very suitable for Tang poetry, gentle and surging.

After reading, Jiang Mo poured wine for himself and said with a smile: "Everyone, cheers!"

The glasses clink and they toast the Sauvignon Blanc.

After Jiang Mo drank a glass of wine, he went to observe his pot of epiphyllum.It was very late, and the flowers still didn't bloom. He was so melancholy that he kept moaning.

"It probably won't open tonight." Shen Chaowen pointed at the flower bone and analyzed, "It was just like this three hours ago, and there was no movement at all."

It is short-lived, and it is not so easy to wait.

Jiang Mo approached him and echoed in a low voice: "Well, maybe the flowers are shy seeing so many people coming to the house, and I am embarrassed to open them."

Shen Chaowen was startled when he approached suddenly.Because of him, but also because of words.

Jiang Mo looked at him, not sure if he was drunk or not, but just smiled.

"Wind, flowers, poetry, wine, tea." Jiang Mo said with emotion, "I have them all tonight."

Shen Chaowen and him looked at each other, inexplicably flustered, but he still stubbornly argued in his heart - the flower has not bloomed yet and is just about to bloom, this is not a flower in the strict sense, but just a few flower buds!
