Ode to Joy - Su Wan

As soon as Tan Zongming pushed open the door of the coffee shop, Andy who was sitting by the window saw it. Andy stood up, raised his hand, and signaled.

When Tan Zongming looked over, he saw Andy standing there alone, and there was a furry head on the opposite side. Tan Zongming thought that was the friend Andy wanted to introduce to him, right?

As soon as Andy made a move just now, Guan Juer noticed it, followed Andy's gaze, saw Tan Zongming walking over, and recognized the man who had dinner with Andy last time.

"Old Tan, this is the little girl I told you about yesterday, Guan Juer." When Tan Zongming walked to the table and stood still, Guan Juer also stood up. At this time, Tan Zongming also saw the girl just now The master of the hairy head.Andy first introduced Guan Juer to Tan Zongming, and then introduced Tan Zongming to Guan Juer. "Guan Guan, this is my friend, Tan Zongming." Andy felt that it would be good to introduce them to each other. As for the rest, he didn't have to worry about it. Even if he was a friend, he couldn't be too strict. Anyway, it was just playing together today. .

"Hello, I'm Tan Zongming, I'm a businessman." The two looked at each other, and it was Tan Zongming who spoke first.

"Hello, my name is Guan Juer, and I'm still a student so far. Let's sit and talk?" Seeing Tan Zongming stretching out his right hand, Guan Juer could only reach out and hold it back.Just a courtesy handshake.Then he reached out his hand to gesture to the seat opposite, and it turned out that Tan Zongming was sitting next to her.

At this moment, Tan Zongming had already remembered the scene on the plane. That day Tan Zongming had stared at Guan Juer's hand for a long time, so when he saw Guan Juer's hand, Tan Zongming recognized that the girl on the plane was Guan Juer, because Guan Juer wears a bracelet on his hand, that bracelet is very peculiar and can be recognized at a glance.Just looking at Guan Juer's appearance, he probably has almost forgotten it, so Tan Zongming didn't say it.

Later, she teased Guan Juer about this incident, saying that she even remembered the first meeting between the two wrongly.

"Well, you can call me Lao Tan like Andy, or you can call me by my name directly." After sitting down, Tan Zongming said to Guan Ju'er with a smile.It can be seen that Tan Zongming's impression of Guan Juer is not bad, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

"Okay, then you are the same as Andy, tell me to shut down." Looking at Tan Zongming's expression, Guan Juer couldn't say no, then turned his head and said to Andy: "Andy , since your friend is already here, shall we continue? Or maybe Mr. Tan needs to rest for a while?" Although he said so, but skipping so many links and calling names directly, Guan Juer is still not used to it .

"Old Tan?" Hearing Guan Juer's words, Andy looked at Tan Zongming inquiringly.

"I'm fine, I don't need to rest, let's go on, where are you going to play next?" Seeing the two ladies turning their gazes to him, Tan Zongming just shook his head and calmly asked them about their next plans.

"Guanguan? Where do you want to go? Today is your invitation." Andy looked in Guan Juer's direction and asked with a smile.

"Well...it's almost time now, let's go shopping here and then go to Chinatown, okay?" Sometimes Guan Juer doesn't feel anything when other people's eyes are on her, so when both of them are staring at her There was no reaction when she was there, and after thinking about it, she revealed her plan.

"No problem, let's go then?" Seeing that Andy had no objection, Tan Zongming stood up and made a gesture of invitation to ask the opinions of the two ladies.

"Well, let's go." Andy took the lead to pick up his bag and walked out.Guan Juer then followed out.

The three of them took a look at the places they hadn't been to just now. It was almost eleven o'clock, and they set off for Chinatown around twelve o'clock.

When the lights were about to come on, the three of them finished today's trip and headed home.

Tan Zongming sent Guan Juer home first, and then Andy. He felt that he needed to talk to Andy about her new friend, Guan Juer.

When Guan Juer arrived home, he invited Andy and Tan Zongming in for a cup of tea, but they refused because it was too late.Make an appointment to visit her at her house next time when Andy is free, and take her to experience Chinese culture, because Andy really doesn't know how to speak Chinese well, Guan Juer thinks it is necessary to let Andy experience the profoundness Chinese culture makes her interested in learning more.

After returning home, Guan Juer lay down on the sofa directly, and she temporarily forgot about her image, because she was too tired, and she felt that she probably wouldn't like shopping in the future.In fact, being a home girl is pretty good.

After getting up, I went to wash up first, and then lay down again, but after lying down, although tired, Guan Juer felt very awake again, and didn't want to sleep at all.Thinking about going to class tomorrow, the days of leisure are coming to an end.

In a blink of an eye, I thought of Andy and her friend, Mr. Tan.He looks familiar, as if he's seen it somewhere, of course, not the time he met him in a restaurant.But I just couldn't remember it, and then smiled and let it go.

What is his relationship with Andy?I feel that the two of them have a good relationship, but they are not like a couple, they are a bit like brothers and sisters, but they are not like ordinary brothers and sisters, and they have a feeling of confidant.So complicated!

I fell asleep thinking about it.

They say curiosity killed the cat.In many cases, being curious means being interested, and being interested means knowing about something. What happens after understanding?Maybe you will gradually like it, or because you know too much, you can't feel like it.

The author has something to say: because I have been too busy recently, I have not saved the manuscript, sorry...

☆、Chapter 11

After sending Guan Juer home, Tan Zongming and Andy also left.

After returning to the place where Andy lived, Tan Zongming did not leave immediately, but walked into the living room with Andy.Tan Zongming did not forget the idea of ​​wanting to chat with Andy.

"Andy, let's talk." When he walked into the living room, Tan Zongming took the initiative to get two bottles of water from the kitchen, put them on the table, and spoke first.

"Okay, what are we talking about?" Andy remembered what Tan Zongming said today, and wanted to talk about her new friend, Guan Juer.Tan Zongming said this because of Andy.

"Well... Andy, what do you think of Guan Guan?" Tan Zongming pondered for a while, and finally asked Guan Juer as the topic.

"Guan Guan? Guan Guan is a very good girl." Andy has a good impression of Guan Juer, considerate, quiet but lively and cute.

"That's right, Guan Guan is a good girl, so her friends should be pretty good, right?" Tan Zongming thought about his words and brought his words into today's topic.

"Huh? It should be." Hearing this, Andy already knew what Tan Zongming was going to say next, so he responded indifferently.Andy just doesn't like crowds, but she's not stupid.

Tan Zongming also saw that Andy had already understood his purpose, so he didn't make any more detours, and directly stated his purpose. "Andy, I know you don't like to meet outsiders, so can we take it slowly? Guanguan people are very nice, and you guys get along very well, so can you pass through Guanguan and get in touch with more people? For example, Guanguan's A friend, or a classmate? Do you know? I have been worried about you and your state. You always think too much. I think Guan Guan is very suitable for you. She will not be impetuous that young people sometimes have , rest assured, you have common topics, but she is not short of cheerful and lively moments. You can't never get in touch with outsiders, can you? Give it a try, okay? "

"Haha, Old Tan, you think too much. Although I don't like to contact outsiders, it doesn't mean that I won't contact them. Otherwise, how do you think I have survived to this day? Also, I have already met with Guan Guan made an appointment. The next time she has time, when she visits a friend of hers, she will take me there, so that I can experience the richness and profoundness of Chinese culture from her. Guan Guan despises my Chinese is too bad "Although he said so, Andy was still touched and happy that Tan Zongming cared about him so much.This is my friend who exists like family!

Seeing that Andy was telling the truth, Tan Zongming also let go of half of his worries. "Andy, you also know that there are no girls in my family, so I have always regarded you as my own sister. Every time I think of the state you were in when you first met me, I am very worried. You can walk slowly I am very happy and relieved to come out.”

"Old Tan, I'm very lucky to have a friend like you." Seeing the joyful expression of his only second friend, even Andy, who is usually very cold, couldn't help laughing at this time.

"By the way, Andy, your Chinese is pretty bad. Guan Guan kindly found a teacher for you. Then you have to study hard." Tan Zongming solved the serious problem that had always been in his heart, and he couldn't control it at this time. Stop making fun of Andy.

"Okay. If you have nothing to do, you should go. It's not too early now." Andy always felt that he was not stupid, but at this time he was so annoyed by being teased that he used his trump card to drive the culprit out up.

"Okay, okay, can't I go? I'll go first, and you should pay attention to yourself." Seeing Andy so lively, Tan Zongming laughed from the bottom of his heart.Not daring to annoy Andy, who had already become angry from embarrassment, he stood up and prepared to go back.

"Well, no problem, you should be careful when driving. Bye." Andy stood up and sent Tan Zongming out of the door, and then turned back to his home.

"OK, you can go in too." Tan Zongming waved his hand, and then drove away.

After Tan Zongming left, Andy sat alone in the living room thinking for a long time.I remembered when I first met Tan Zongming, I remembered the time when the two became friends, and I remembered a lot.I think it's good to have such a family, very good.

Andy is a very sensible person under normal circumstances, and he will not allow himself to spend time thinking about these things, and he will go to his own affairs after a while when he recovers.Played all day today, and still left some work unfinished.

And what about Tan Zongming?When I went back to my residence, I was thinking about Andy and Guan Juer.It's great that Andy has a friend other than himself. Tan Zongming used to worry that Andy would die alone, but now he doesn't have to worry about it. Andy will still make friends, but maybe a little less.Tan Zongming really hopes that Andy, a friend who is like his own sister, can be happy.

After thinking about Andy, Tan Zongming thought of Guan Juer again, a girl who sometimes doesn't match her inner appearance with her appearance, and also a very forgetful girl.Because Guan Juer forgot the first meeting between the two of them, Tan Zongming remembered it for a long time, and he didn't understand why he paid so much attention to a girl he just met.

Although I have a good impression, it should not be to that extent.Take your time, one day I will understand.Tan Zongming thought to himself.

After thinking about it, after a while, Tan Zongming returned to the place where he lived. There was nothing special to worry about, and Tan Zongming fell asleep after a while.

The author has something to say: sorry for the late update, sorry everyone...

☆、Chapter 12

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already two months after the recycling.

A lot of things happened during these two months. Tan Zongming returned to China three days after that visit. So far, he has not been to the United States for two months, but has been developing domestic business.

After chatting that night, although Tan Zongming has confirmed that Andy's condition is not very serious, he still keeps in touch with Guan Juer, occasionally asking about Andy's situation, and sometimes involuntarily caring about Guan Juer.

And Guan Juer went to school to report early in the morning of the next day, and started another study career.During the period, I would occasionally go out to play, or go shopping on Wall Street, and Andy, and Qin Qing, and also found a time to introduce Qin Qing to Andy.The relationship between the two intelligent beauties is quite harmonious.

Andy fell in love with Chinese culture as expected after getting acquainted with Qin Qing.Because the charm on Qin Qing's body is really attractive.Andy also learned more about Chinese culture and liked China more after getting in touch with Qin Qing.The topics and activities of the few of them have also increased.

"Andy, are you free tomorrow? How about we go to Qin Qing? It seems that I heard from her a few days ago that she has some new ancient books, which seem to be from the Tang Dynasty. I really want to read them. Shall we go and have a look? "Guan Juer just finished class, thinking that tomorrow is the weekend, and happened to talk about those ancient books when chatting with Qin Qing a few days ago, so he thought about finding some time to go and read them.Just in time to ask Andy to go with me.

"Guanguan? Tomorrow? Tomorrow just happens to be free. I originally made an appointment to go to see the product with the customer, who knows that the other party has something to reschedule, just right. What time do we go?" Before Andy received Guan Juer's call Just hung up a call, it's that client.I was still thinking about what I would do tomorrow?I'm still debating whether to read at home or go buy something to eat.

"Well... we will leave at eight o'clock tomorrow. You come to my house, and I will make breakfast for you. Then we will bring a snack to Qin Qing's place. It just so happens that the ingredients I bought the day before yesterday arrived. I can make jujube paste yam cake, and Sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Seeing that Andy agreed to the request for tomorrow's trip, Guan Juer happily promised tomorrow's breakfast.You must know that Andy has been thinking about the pastry made by Guan Juer since he ate it, but Guan Juer seldom makes it because the foreign materials are not uniform.

Having been friends with Guan Juer for so long, Andy also knows some of Guan Juer's hobbies, and the one that impressed me the most is that she loves books very much, especially some vintage books.So you can imagine how happy she would be if I agreed to her invitation.Although it is said that Guan Juer can go alone without Andy, but she feels deserted and unpopular.I've never seen her have such a problem before.

"No problem, just wait at home, I will be there on time tomorrow." Seeing this, Andy said straightforwardly.But I also feel that Guan Juer's behavior is too much, so I hate that iron can't make steel. "I said, isn't it just some ancient books, what about you?"

"As for, you don't know how long it's been since I've seen such a good book. I don't know how many lifetimes I haven't read such a good book. What do you say?" Guan Juer really loved Books, otherwise I wouldn't have been lodging in the library and not getting tired of it. Although there are reasons for my poor health, there are other ways to do it.In the past, no matter what kind of book it was, she just let her read it, but now it's different.Books that were readily available in the past have now become other people's treasures and darlings, as if they used to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, but now they eat porridge and side dishes.

"All right, all right, I won't talk about you anymore, go to bed early tonight, don't wake up tomorrow." Hearing what Guan Juer said, Andy felt a little distressed for no reason, and couldn't bear to continue talking about her.After exhorting Guan Juer a few words, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up Guan Juer's phone, Andy didn't go back to work immediately, but stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the phone in his hand against his forehead, tapped it lightly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Then I heard Andy whispering: By the way, Old Tan's family should have quite a lot of things like ancient books, and the family has a long history, so his family shouldn't lack these, right?Just right, ask him the next time he comes, or ask him when he returns at night?It shouldn't be difficult to let him borrow it, right?Thinking of this, Andy was not very sure.

For some reason, Andy heard Guan Juer's nostalgia for books, an inexplicable feeling.Then somehow Tan Zongming came to mind.Perhaps subconsciously, he felt that Tan Zongming would be willing to lend his things to Guan Juer, and it was not certain that Guan Juer would be willing to accept it.Because Andy saw last time that Tan Zongming has a good impression of Guan Juer, and Guan Juer's words are still uncertain, but it is certain that he does not dislike him.

Although Andy's EQ is not high, sometimes she can see the feelings of some people, such as Tan Zongming, such as Guan Juer.

Even though Andy hung up the phone, Guan Juer was still very happy because of those few books.When she thought that she would be able to read those books tomorrow, she could not close her mouth happily.Even if the phone is hung up, I still can't get angry.

Guan Juer originally thought about not telling Qin Qing that he would go find her tomorrow, but thinking that if she accidentally sold or gave away those few ancient books, it would be miserable, so after thinking about it, he still made a phone call To Qin Qing.

"Hi, hello, who is it?" When Guan Juer called, Qin Qing was cleaning the bookshelf, so he picked up the phone without looking at who it was.

"Qingqing, it's me, um, I want to tell you something. Andy and I will find you tomorrow morning. I want to read those ancient books of the Tang Dynasty that you told me about a few days ago." Because we know each other Guan Juer also bluntly stated his purpose.

"Tomorrow? Well, you should really be thankful that you called me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see it tomorrow. My brother promised to come and pick it up tomorrow. I'll tell him tonight and stay for a few more days. "In fact, when she knew it was Guan Juer's call, Qin Qing had a premonition that she might be looking for him for the book, and it turned out to be true.

When he heard what Qin Qing said, Guan Juer really took a deep breath, and felt that he was extremely lucky and almost missed it. "Really? Wow... Thank you so much, Qingqing, you didn't know that you really scared me to death just now."

"Okay, come over tomorrow. I'm not free now, so I won't chat with you. I'll talk to you tomorrow, bye." Imagining Guan Juer's appearance at this time, Qin Qing pursed his lips and laughed.

"Yeah, you're busy first, I'll bring you delicious food tomorrow, bye." Knowing that Qin Qing was busy, Guan Juer didn't say anything more, and said goodbye in a considerate manner.

After hanging up the phone, Guan Juer burst into laughter with his mobile phone, and even hummed a little song in his heart.
