Siheyuan: Wandering between Two Worlds

On the evening of the 27th.

Jade Hotel.

Jiang Yang picked up Yang Meng early and came to the hotel. This luxury suite is divided into three areas.

Entertainment area, where you can sing karaoke, dance, and there is a small bar!

Dining area, there are 5 large round tables, which are enough for ordinary small banquets, or you can choose to have a buffet.

Meeting area, a small meeting room, he can't use it.

Jiang Yang guessed that this is a product that is neither high nor low. They can't afford the presidential suite here, so they just make it like this.

At the door of the suite, two beautiful waitresses stood at the door. Seeing the two of them, they quickly opened the door. This is the only suite on the top floor.

"Welcome to Jade Hotel."

"Make arrangements and have someone bring up the drinks first."

"Okay, sir, we're at the door, call us if you need anything."

Jiang Yang waved his hand and told them to get busy.

Yang Meng looked around curiously. She had only heard of this suite, and it was her first time to come in.

"Jiang Yang, can we sing karaoke and dance here?"

"It's 28,000 yuan a night anyway."

This price may be very common in the city, but in their small county with an average salary of 2,000, it's a sky-high price.

"You can only make money from a fool like you."

Yang Meng laughed and joked. With this price, apart from a house and a car, who would spend such a large sum of money?

"It doesn't matter. Just eat well and have fun. Isn't the purpose of making money to spend?"

"Virtue."

Yang Meng didn't complain about him anymore and continued to wander around inside, especially the karaoke station. She wanted to touch it several times but was afraid of breaking it, so she was so cautious that it made people sigh.

When he first came to the city, he didn't know how to take the subway. He was very similar to her now, taking every step carefully.

He took two steps forward, quickly fixed these things, and knocked on her head, "Why are you so timid? This kind of machine is not so easy to break. Play it boldly."

He handed the microphone over.

Yang Meng glanced at him, her eyes flashing, snatched the microphone, pushed Jiang Yang unhappily, and still insisted.

"If you ask me, I'm not researching it, right?"

Jiang Yang shrugged, and at this time the door opened, and a young man walked in with a woman, the two of them were very affectionate.

He couldn't help but curl his lips, took a few steps forward, and said unhappily: "Aren't you still not tired of being together for so many years?"

These two people were his high school friends Wu Jun and Fu Lifang.

They turned their heads and saw Jiang Yang, and their faces were all stained with excitement.

"Xiao Yangzi, oh, I miss you so much."

Wu Jun hugged Jiang Yang and patted his back hard.

They both went out to work after graduating from high school. It was because she was pregnant and had to start working for a living.

Although Jiang Yang went home for the New Year every year, it was not so easy to get together again. You may be free but others may not be free, and there are even many who don't go home.

Jiang Yang patted him gently a few times. They hadn't seen each other for three years, and their faces were stained with traces of the years.

"Haha, I miss you too~~~wife."

"Go away, you still dare to miss my wife after so many years, be careful I will beat you to death."

The two separated, Wu Jun punched Jiang Yang's arm, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Haha, sister-in-law, long time no see."

Fu Lifang smiled sweetly, still with that gentle look, and smiled knowingly at the playfulness of the two.

"Long time no see, Jiang Yang, you have changed a lot."

The two hugged each other gently. The three of them had a good relationship. At that time, they often ate and played together, which was very happy.

"Fortunately, Yang Meng is singing inside. Let's go in and sit for a while. It's still early."

"Yang Meng is here so early?"

~~~

"Xiao Meng!"

Fu Lifang threw herself into Yang Meng's arms. She heard about Yang Meng's affairs, but she was mediocre and could do nothing about it.

"Sister-in-law, you are here too!"

The two women hugged each other and Jiang Yang looked at each other and walked out of the karaoke room silently.

After pouring two glasses of wine, the two walked slowly to the balcony and looked at the changed night view of the county. Wu Jun took a sip of red wine and said with emotion: "The county has changed a lot. When we were in school, it was still a barren mountain."

"Yeah, I almost didn't recognize it last time."

"Looking at the occasion today and your outfit, have you made a fortune?"

Wu Jun patted Jiang Yang's shoulder with a clear look in his eyes.

"Yeah, you've made a fortune. Do you want to hang out with Brother Yang? I'll take you flying!"

Wu Jun smiled slightly, looked at the lights in the distance, and shook his head.

"Haha, no need. I'm fine now. I need to be satisfied! For me, the life I have now is what I want. I have Lifang by my side, my children by my side, my family is healthy, and my job is stable. Why do I ask for so much?"

"I've seen too many people who desperately pursue a higher quality of life, and eventually their families fall apart. I don't want that."

Jiang Yang was surprised. He didn't expect this guy to be so advanced. "No wonder I still envy him even today!"

The money and power in this world are endless. There will always be someone richer than you and a higher position than you!

When you climb over this small hill in front of you, you will find that there is a bigger mountain in front of you.

To put it another way, choice is far more important than hard work and it is also very appropriate.

Just like Wu Jun, he chose such a life. Who can say that this is wrong or bad?

He also envied Wu Jun's current life. It was enough to have one person. He could run his own family well. For their family, the next days would be enjoyable.

"I really envy you for having such a good wife!!!"

Wu Jun rolled his eyes. This guy has been talking about this since high school!

He was also proud of having such a wife.

"You have no chance. Your sister-in-law and I still have a good relationship."

"Haha, I see."

Jiang Yang laughed and raised the wine glass in his hand. Wu Jun smiled slightly and clinked his glass.

Under the light, the wine glass reflected patches of white light.

"Hey, where are the people?"

The two looked back when they heard the sound. Their classmates had already started to enter.

"Liu Yu!"

"Jiang Yang, Wu Jun, long time no see."

"Yeah, where's your wife? Didn't you bring her?"

"Silly wife, isn't it good to be alone? I don't want to be bound. I'm a non-marriageist. My main goal is long live love!"

Liu Yu waved his hand, looking calm and not pretending.

Jiang Yang stepped forward to hug him, patted his back, and said nothing more.

It's a personal choice, there's nothing to say, just like Wu Jun is seen as unambitious by others, what's wrong with that?

Whoever feels comfortable knows, there's no need to force your own ideas on others. You laugh at others for living a hard life, and others laugh at you for not knowing how to live!

Just like some big experts say that young people lying flat is not good, but this is just a lifestyle that they feel comfortable with. Without affecting others, there is no right or wrong in this choice.

And the choice is not static, it is constantly changing with age and experience. Think about who can really realize the dream you talked about in elementary school.

~~~

The next people started to come in quickly. Jiang Yang and Wu Jun greeted them at the door. The girls all went to the karaoke room. Although the tune was out of tune, there was still laughter and joy in the room. People gathered in groups of three or two to chat.

Until a beautiful figure appeared, Jiang Yang's mind trembled slightly.

Lai Wenxin!

The two looked at each other, and a trace of disappointment flashed in Jiang Yang's eyes. He was stunned for a few seconds, and Wu Jun quickly interrupted the eye contact between the two.

"Wenxin is here. I thought you wouldn't come."

"Wu Jun, long time no see."

"Jiang Yang, long time no see."

Lai Wenxin smiled slightly and greeted the two separately.

Jiang Yang rubbed his hands and smiled in response, "Long time no see. The girls are over at the karaoke room."

Lai Wenxin was the only person he didn't hug.

"Why, you still can't forget?"

Wu Jun bumped him with his shoulder and asked jokingly.

"It's hard to explain. It should be regarded as a regret that cannot be achieved."

Although the two did not communicate much in high school, their eyes would always be attracted by others. This was beyond his control. Yang Meng's operation made him have less opportunities for contact, but it also made the relationship more pure.

"Don't think about it. She is already someone else's bride. Just bless her."

"Yeah!" Jiang Yang smiled bitterly, "I am obsessed. Who is not a freshman now?"

...

At 7:30, everyone arrived. Wu Jun called out the female classmates from the karaoke room. This time, except Wu Jun who brought his wife, no one else brought his wife.

It can be said that they are all classmates now.

There is no need to arrange seats. Everyone chooses to sit with the people they are close to.

"Pa pa pa!"

Yang Meng stood up and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Dear classmates, it's rare for us to gather together. Let's raise our glasses together and first thank today's rich man - Jiang Yang."

"Haha, I have to raise a glass. Jiang Yang got rich without making any noise. Congratulations."

"Come on!"

"Raise your glass!"

Jiang Yang smiled slightly, stood up and raised his glass, saying loudly: "I'll take this glass. Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want! Cheers."

"

Cheers! "

Everyone stood up and toasted, with bright smiles on their faces. At this moment, it was just like the excitement of tearing off the test papers after the college entrance examination.

Jiang Yang was very happy. Compared with the group in college, these high school classmates were at least much simpler, not so utilitarian, and talked more about working children and some interesting things in the past.

At this time, they dared to talk about their secret crush experience with the girl they had a crush on!

Since it has started, Jiang Yang asked everyone to pour the wine again, and said with a smile,

"This second cup is to toast our lost youth, to the two years of high school we spent together, and to the fate that closely connected us!"

"Okay!"

Wu Jun suddenly put his arm around Jiang Yang's shoulders and raised the glass.

"Cheers to our lost youth!"

"Cheers to the two years of high school we spent together!"

"Cheers to fate!"

"Cheers! ”

After another glass of wine was finished, the atmosphere became completely heated, and everyone started to eat.

The place became lively.

Jiang Yang picked up the wine glass and chatted and drank with the classmates at the table. He chatted with everyone at one table after another. It was two hours later when he returned to his table.

After another round, Jiang Yang was a little tipsy. This time he did not cheat. This group of people was completely different from the group in college.

Jiang Yang looked at Wen Xin beside him, and poured her a glass of red wine under the influence of alcohol. He picked up the wine glass and smiled, "Wen Xin, I toast you a glass. "

Lai Wenxin looked at him quietly for a few seconds, smiled slightly, raised her glass and clinked it with his, then drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.

The two did not have much contact, and Jiang Yang's understanding of her was also what he saw and told others, so there was actually no topic.

The two looked at each other in silence, with many helplessness and unspeakable things in their eyes. Jiang Yang wanted to say something several times but stopped, wanting to ask her how she was doing.

"Haha, what are you whispering about, take me with you."

At this time, Wu Jun walked to the middle of their sight with a glass of wine, one hand on Jiang Yang's shoulder and the other on Lai Wenxin's shoulder.

"Hiss~~~"

Suddenly, Lai Wenxin became lighter and painful, and her shoulder seemed to be unloaded and fell down. Fortunately, Wu Jun did not use force, otherwise she would have to lie under the table.

"What's going on? "

Jiang Yang grabbed her arm. It would have been fine if he hadn't grabbed it, but once he did, Wen Xin's face was covered with cold sweat.

He quickly let go of Wen Xin's arm and helped her up. Seeing her face twisted, she relaxed a little and forced a smile.

"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest."

This scene naturally attracted other classmates. Everyone gathered together and looked at Wen Xin.

At this time, Lai Xi said in a bad tone: "What's good about it? You'll be beaten to death sooner or later!"

Beat to death?

The classmates all looked at Lai Xi.

"What's going on?"
