Chapter 57: Secret Love Begins Today
Chapter 57: Secret Love Begins Today
In the SOGO department store in Tsim Sha Tsui, I spent some time buying shoes and then wandered around the beauty and stationery stores.
Compared to shopping, Zuo Ziyan seemed to enjoy strolling more.
Apart from the shoes, I only bought some wet wipes, lipstick, gel pens, sticky notes, etc., spending a total of dozens of dollars.
It's approaching noon.
Zuo Ziyan brought Fan Wumian to a restaurant called "Sukiyaki King". Judging from the decorations at the entrance of the restaurant, it was probably a Japanese sukiyaki restaurant.
This weekend, Fan Wumian didn't do anything else and this was his third time going out to eat out.
Thinking it would be nice to change the taste, he held up two fingers to the waiter to indicate the number of diners, and was then arranged in a couple's compartment.
Sit in a booth with straw curtains.
Whether it was the large red heart pattern on the tablecloth, the ceramic Cupid figurine placing a soup spoon on the table, or the roses in the vase, they all made Zuo Ziyan feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the probability of running into alumni and acquaintances in such a shopping mall on weekends was too high, and sitting in a compartment would save her the trouble of rumors, so she did not intend to explain to the waiter.
And Fan Wumian actually thought the same thing.
He was worried that his meeting with the school beauty Zuo would become a hot topic in the school.
By that time, not only would he not be able to hold the thigh of the rich young woman, but he would also have severed the vague ambiguity between him and the girl from the treasure island next door.
It would be bad if both sides fail and nothing is done in the end.
Because of the environment in the couple's compartment, Zuo Ziyan felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she spoke first:
"I know you've gotten rich recently, so I should have ripped you off, but you probably need money for a lot of things, so I'll be kind enough to let you go. Self-service sukiyaki, 129 yuan per person for the new store opening, is a good deal."
Fan Wumian sat opposite her, resting his chin on his palm, speaking lazily:
"Then eat more, don't be polite to me, choose the expensive ones. By the way, there are hearts and roses here, you really know how to choose a place, you are not hinting at something to me."
Zuo Ziyan smiled with her eyes curved:
"You're giving me a hint, you big head ghost! The small tables outside are all full, and the other compartments are probably the same, don't take it for granted."
We just happened to be talking about this topic.
Fan Wumian continued to ask: "What did you mean by what you said to me after the game last week?"
Quickly raising her hand to signal him to stop, Zuo Ziyan said:
"Maybe it was because I suddenly felt a little impulsive after listening to the two songs you wrote for me. After calming down and thinking about it, I felt that it would be better not to delay you."
"I will graduate soon. I will probably go to the UK to study for a few years. I am not sure where I will work in the future. Many of my parents' friends, who I have known since childhood, have lost to long-distance relationships in the end, even if they have deep feelings for each other."
"Although I am grateful that you have liked me for so long, if a relationship only lasts for a few months, it is better not to start it at all. This is better for both you and me, don't you understand?"
"."
Fan Wumian blinked his eyes and said helplessly:
"Just explain. I didn't confess to you, so why did you reject me for no reason? This makes my defeat record +1 again, which is really embarrassing. The total number of times is almost more than Sakuragi Hanamichi in Slam Dunk."
"But then again, how can you know if it's right if you don't try? At your age, if you are like adults and have to think before and after even in your relationships, then life would be so tiring."
"You're just going to study in England, not planning to launch a rocket out of the solar system. You must have never had a romantic relationship since you were a child."
Zuo Ziyan just looked at him and said:
"What else? In the past, when someone handed me a love letter, they had to be sneaky, for fear of being scolded by you."
Fan Wumian was just preaching.
To Zuo Ziyan, it sounded like he was trying to save something.
Feeling that love really shouldn't be looked back and forth, she stared at the chopsticks in her hand and suddenly said:
"You're right. We can actually give it a try. If we don't hurry up, our youth will be over. But you can't tell anyone else, not even your friends. My dad is a very vicious person. If he hears about it, we'll all be doomed."
"I remember you said before that your cousin has a sharp tongue, but she seems to be easy to get along with."
Fan Wumian came to his senses only after he finished speaking.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zuo Ziyan across the table, his eyes full of questions.
My mind is full of thoughts: Am I starting to fall in love?
----------
It had been too long. So long that Fan Wumian had forgotten what a young romance on campus was like.
Unlike adults who are worried about gains and losses and are sober and rational, two students who are just beginning to fall in love may come together because of a cup of milk tea, a love letter or a word of concern.
No wonder some people say that you can’t catch fish in a fish pond, let alone expect to be single after entering society.
Fan Wumian benefited from the fame of his former self.
With the persistence and vigorous foundation of the previous few years, plus the recent string of love songs, Zuo Ziyan misunderstood that all the songs were written for her. By chance, she kicked open the wall of the heart of the rich school beauty.
He specifically asked this while eating Sukiyaki.
Even though it was just an attempt to start an underground relationship, it was still considered a relationship.
This made Fan Wumian feel very confused. He also felt that his good life had just begun, but how could he end up hanging on a tree?
After returning home.
He lay on the bed and reviewed the situation carefully, muttering, "Are you going to tease me and kick me out after I go abroad to study?"
He turned over and lay on the creaking spring bed, muttering to himself again:
"Forget it, it's not a loss anyway."
His head was full of old memories of being rejected, and the sudden success made Fan Wumian feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, he received another text message from Zuo Xiaohua, which read: "I'm home, remember to keep your mouth shut!!!"
Through the three exclamation marks at the end, Fan Wumian felt the strong atmosphere of underground love during his student days. He smiled and jokingly typed a reply:
——"I see. I may need to take a leave next week. Don't feel sad if you can't see me."
Soon I received another reply from her, which read: "I am so lost, I am accompanying my dad to visit an art exhibition, so I won't talk about it for now."
Nothing happened in the afternoon.
Fan Wumian began to collect information in preparation for the production and wholesale of his own album.
Fortunately, the Internet has become popular in this era, and it was almost effortless to find the contact information of a bunch of album wholesalers.
Also.
He also found some local companies in Hong Kong that could help him register companies, register song copyrights, and provide mainland legal consulting services.
Thinking that he should first prepare channels for producing the album, Fan Wumian started using Baidu to search for keywords such as "album, piracy, police, den", and soon found a bunch of relevant information, which seemed to be spread all over the country.
A lot of information that is very useful to him is hidden in these messages.
In a news article published in June this year, Fan Wumian saw the location "Shencheng Anbao". He was immediately surprised and thought that his former colleague whose family used to produce pirated discs was from that place.
He also envied other people's families who built buildings and made a fortune as the housing prices increased.
Just as he was concentrating on compiling the information, he unexpectedly heard a lot of talking outside. Fan Wumian was worried that something might happen to Zhuang Muxi while she was alone at home. Her parents had returned to Kenting, Taiwan, so he got up and opened the door to see what was going on.
I saw a lot of strangers dressed as TV reporters gathering at the door of Zhuang Muxi's house.
Fan Wumian randomly picked a young man and asked, "Are you from TBV TV? Why are you here?"
The young man told him, "Wow, handsome guy, are you kidding me? You didn't even know about this big news?"
Just as his heart skipped a beat, Fan Wumian heard the other party continue to say:
"There's a piano goddess living next door to you. The photo of her winning a prize in a competition yesterday went viral on the Internet and even spread to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and even the mainland! Even our deputy director came this morning and wanted to sign her to film a movie!"
"!???"
Fan Wumian suddenly fell into deep thought.
I tried so hard but still failed to become famous, but Zhuang Muxi became famous just by taking a few photos of receiving awards! ?
