Chapter68
Staring for a moment, until all the incense was burnt, and the smoke was blown halfway by the wind, Ran Qingzhuang turned to me, lifted his chin toward the way he came, and said, "Let's go."
Back on the main road of the cemetery, I walked side by side with Ran Qingzhuang in the broken sun, no one said a word.
The gentle wind blew across his face, and he didn't know who was burning paper money, and his nose was full of the choking smell of smoke.
Ran Qingzhuang is much taller than me, and naturally his legs are longer than mine. He walks leisurely, and if I don't chase after him deliberately, I'll be half the size of him in the long run.
"Why didn't you wake me up in the car?" I quickened my pace to catch up.
Ran Qingzhuang put his hands in his pockets, looked at the road ahead, and said lazily, "Are you a child who is still drinking milk? You have to stick to it wherever you go?"
Is it stuck anywhere? It's already at the door, can't you come in? Always be polite...
My lips twitched, trying to argue for myself, but I didn't know how to reply except for the pale and useless bullshit "I don't", so I finally chose to keep my mouth shut.
Going to the parking lot, Ran Qingzhuang said that he wanted to smoke a cigarette and asked me to enter the car. I saw a canteen not far away, so I asked Ran Qingzhuang if he wanted some water.
"Mineral water is fine." He took out his cigarette and lighter from his pocket and walked to the trash can in the corner.
Although the commissary is small, it has a wide range of goods. In addition to the incense, candles, flowers, and beverages and snacks used for sacrifices.
I took two bottles of mineral water to checkout, passed the snack shelf, glanced at the familiar red packaging on the shelf, and couldn't help but stop.
At the end of the checkout, in addition to two bottles of water, there was an extra box of chocolate bars.
I waited in the car for another two minutes before Ran Qingzhuang came back. As soon as I sat down, I handed over the chocolate bar in my hand.
He frowned and stepped back, and I chased it to his lips.
He saw what it was, and was a little stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at me, but he didn't mean to open his mouth. He seemed to be stuck with me.
"It's delicious." I coaxed him, "Eat...you'll feel better."
"Do I look in a bad mood?" Ran Qingzhuang asked.
How can I answer this, I have never seen him in a better mood.
I can only say: "It will be better if you eat it."
After all, he also has to drive, and he can't keep being so strong with me. After thinking for a moment, he bit the chocolate bar rather reluctantly.
Satisfied, I retracted my hand and took out another one and stuffed it into my mouth.
Ran Qingzhuang started the engine, but did not leave the parking lot immediately. After finishing the chocolate bar quickly, he picked up the mineral water on the cup holder and took several sips, as if to dispel the sweetness in his mouth. After drinking the water, he pulled the handbrake and drove out of the parking space.
He didn't look like he was eating his favorite snacks, it was like forcing him to commit suicide by taking poison.
I paused slightly and asked uncertainly, "You...don't you like to eat?"
Ran Qingzhuang glanced at me and said with a little disgust, "Are you really a child? How old are you, and you still like to eat this kind of food."
I was a little stunned, lowered my head, looked at the red paper box in my hand, and the sweetness in my mouth suddenly turned bitter.
He forgot...
He may remember the game that day, being lazy in the infirmary, remembering that I appeared in front of him in embarrassment, and he kindly bandaged me, but he didn't remember the chocolate bar, and he didn't remember telling me about the sweet mood. it is good.
It's ridiculous, I thought that I could resonate with Ran Qingzhuang through a box of chocolate bars by retrieving the lost memory from the ashes.
As a result, people don't remember it at all. I was thinking about it here, and he was inexplicable on the other side.
I really... never learn well, always self-righteous. How could I think that he would definitely remember it?
Turning the leftover cookie bar in my hand, I couldn't help but have a wry smile on my lips.
If I don't remember it today, no one really remembers your box of cookies. Completely disappeared in this world, as if it never existed...
Good thing I remembered. If Ran Qingzhuang forgets, forget it, as long as I remember.
As long as I remember he once gave me a box of very sweet and sweet chocolate bars....
Chapter 33 Come on, show me a good show
In general, shopping malls, amusement parks and the like always like to hold some anniversary celebrations to attract consumption, and United Casino is no exception.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary, United Casino invited people from all walks of life to hold a unique celebration reception in the hotel banquet hall on the island. In addition to the traditional star media, there are also some young entrepreneurs in emerging industries.
Different from the previous family banquets like Lady Jin's birthday party, although the banquet was the same, it was obviously more commercial. The Jin family and their sons left after a while, while Lady Jin didn't even show her face.
There were also bands at the scene, but it wasn't a classical orchestra, but a popular band that has recently become popular.
Such an anniversary reception had nothing to do with me. However, Jin ChenYu suddenly found me two days ago, saying that Sakamoto had found a portrait photographer who he liked, and he would go to the island today, and after attending the anniversary reception, he could take pictures for me.
The other party is a well-known Chinese photographer in the international community, called Yang Yi, who has won numerous awards and is good at photographing people.Both male and female stars are proud of being photographed by him, but he himself prefers to photograph unpolished ordinary people, and believes that through photography, the meaning of portrait photographers' existence is the incomparable storytelling of the characters.
Photographer Yang was busy with his work, and the schedule was very full. It is said that Sakamoto was able to free him for a day through some connections. In order to maximize his value, Jin Chenyu also invited him to attend the anniversary party.
The studio was set up in the hotel meeting room. Yang Yi said that he wanted to meet me before shooting to discuss the details, which would help him better prepare.Time is limited, we can only meet at the reception.That's why I'm here at a party that has nothing to do with me, meeting the men and women I've only seen on TV before.
