Chương 38: Chapter 38: Unique Invitation and Reunion
After driving for about half an hour, Su Ran finally arrived at "Liu'an Jingyuan" where Xu Tianna lived. Xu Tianna was already waiting under a sycamore tree outside the community.
The fallen leaves in autumn swirled in the air and slowly fell. Under the light, her figure was like a fairy walking out of a painting, quiet and indifferent.
Su Ran honked the car horn, and Xu Tianna looked at him.
Su Ran smiled and said, "Get in the car, let's go to eat. If it's late, there may not be seats."
Xu Tianna walked to the car, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. She didn't care what car Su Ran was driving. Instead, Su Ran said with a guilty conscience, "How is it? My car is not bad, small displacement, low carbon and environmentally friendly."
"Yes, it's good, but it's a bit wretched like you." Xu Tianna glanced at him with a smile.
"Am I wretched?" Su Ran asked, then took off the mirror in the car and looked at himself unconfidently.
"Vulgarity doesn't necessarily refer to your appearance. I'm talking about your character." Xu Tianna said.
Su Ran reset the mirror and didn't want to argue with Xu Tianna. Anyway, the image of his bad character has been deeply rooted in her mind. Even if he brags about himself as a hero who saves the world, she probably won't change her opinion.
Xu Tianna was a little surprised that Su Ran didn't fight back, but Su Ran smiled at her and started the car. He thought to himself that Xu Tianna probably didn't understand that a man with real substance is often silent. In this way, he is undoubtedly a man with substance.
The Alto shuttled through the streets and alleys and finally stopped at an old street that was about to be demolished. Su Ran and Xu Tianna got out of the car because the restaurant they were going to had to pass through a narrow alley and the car couldn't enter, so they had to walk.
There were only a few street lights in this alley, and the light was dim. Xu Tianna followed Su Ran closely and asked nervously: "Where are you taking me?"
"A paradise, but I have to go through this dark place first." Su Ran replied.
Walking through the alley, the view suddenly opened up. Under a bright street lamp, the "Empty City Theme Music Restaurant" appeared in front of them.
Su Ran lit a cigarette and said to Xu Tianna: "This is the restaurant. It was opened by a friend of mine who plays music. The music atmosphere inside is great, but it mainly serves Sichuan cuisine."
"That's a mix." Xu Tianna looked at the store sign and said that most music restaurants mainly serve Western food.
"Well, the boss lady is a girl from Chongqing. Can you eat spicy food?" Su Ran asked.
"Yes." Xu Tianna replied.
The two walked into the restaurant while talking. The boss was sitting on a liftable bar chair singing, with a glass of draft beer next to him and an unfinished cigarette between his fingers.
CC noticed Su Ran's arrival at the first time and snapped his fingers to him during the music break: "Long time no see, Su Ran."
Su Ran nodded and gave him a thumbs up to express his appreciation.
CC smiled, indicating that he would talk later, and continued to sing Zhang Xuan's song to the rhythm of the music.
Su Ran and Xu Tianna chose a seat and sat down. Xu Tianna seemed to like CC's singing very much, listening quietly without talking to Su Ran.
After Su Ran ordered the meal, his attention was also attracted by CC's singing. The slightly hoarse but very contagious singing reminded him of some past fragments.
Three years ago, Su Ran and Lin Yue fled from Shanghai to Suzhou due to her parents' strong opposition. At that time, they were penniless and had a hard life. Su Ran sang in this music restaurant and relied on a little income every day to make a living.
At that time, Lin Yue would stay in the restaurant every day to listen to him singing, and also help customers carry plates and water to earn some tips. Every time the restaurant closed, Su Ran was used to smoking a cigarette, and Lin Yue helped him carry the guitar. The two walked hand in hand through the dark alley, and Su Ran would buy her a roasted sweet potato at the stall at the corner.
That winter, sometimes the wind was cold and sometimes it was raining and snowing, but the feeling of relying on each other still makes Su Ran's heart full of warmth.
"Su Ran, why is this restaurant called Kong Cheng Li?" Xu Tianna's question interrupted Su Ran's thoughts. He was stunned for a long time before answering: "When everyone is born, there is an empty city in their hearts. As time goes by, we grow up and are filled with impetuousness, indifference, worldly fame and fortune, and the city becomes bloated. The name Kong Cheng Li is to commemorate that pure original intention."
"Is this your understanding?" Xu Tianna asked.
"This is what CC told me." Su Ran said, looking at CC who was singing.
Xu Tianna nodded, took a sip of herbal tea, and continued to listen to CC's singing.
CC finished singing a song, put the microphone back on the stand, and walked towards them.
CC is a unique beauty. Her facial features are not beautiful when viewed alone, but when combined together, they have a unique charm and are unforgettable. She walked along and attracted the attention of many diners.
CC brought a large glass of draft beer and placed it in front of Su Ran, smiling and saying, "You're welcome." He then asked the waiter to bring a large glass of Coke to Xu Tianna.
"I'm driving, so I won't drink today," Su Ran said.
Xu Tianna replied, "Drink it, I'll drive for you later."
CC then looked at Xu Tianna and asked Su Ran, "Is this girl your new girlfriend?"
Su Ran looked at Xu Tianna and saw that she looked calm, so he mustered up the courage to say, "Yes, she's my girlfriend."
CC shrugged. Su Ran knew that she felt sorry for what happened between her and Lin Yue, but she still smiled and greeted Xu Tianna, praising her beauty.
The lights in the restaurant dimmed, and the old-fashioned candlesticks on the table lit up. The whole restaurant seemed to be shrouded in starlight and filled with the faint fragrance of scented candles.
After a short silence, CC asked Su Ran, "By the way, what is Robben busy with recently? He hasn't been here for a long time."
"What can he be busy with? He's running around all day." Su Ran replied.
"Invite him to come and sit down when you have time. I miss him a lot." CC said with a hint of helplessness and sadness. She was in love with Robben, but Robben always missed the Beijing girl in his heart.
"Okay, let's make an appointment to get together, right here." Su Ran said.
"You have to promise me." CC said.
Su Ran smiled and swore: "I promise."
CC nodded with relief and turned to leave.
Su Ran and Xu Tianna finally had a space to be alone. Su Ran raised the draft beer to Xu Tianna, and Xu Tianna also raised the Coke to clink glasses with him, and they each took a sip.
At this moment, two people walked into the restaurant outside the door, and the door was pushed open, and a cold wind poured in. Su Ran saw who was coming, and it was Lin Yue and Lu Chen.
In an instant, all kinds of complex emotions surged in his heart, catching Su Ran off guard. It seems that this is not destined to be a night for a quiet meal with Xu Tianna. He hated such encounters, feared the embarrassment caused by them, and hated the coincidence that put them in such an embarrassing situation. He didn't know how to deal with it next. Should he pretend to be calm and say hello, or pretend not to see it? And how would Xu Tianna react? All of this was like a fog that enveloped him, making him fall into deep anxiety and confusion.
