章)At seven oclock in the evening, a gust of wind blew, the treetops shook, and a few drops of water fell. It had just rained heavily, and the ground was wet. People coming and going on the campus of Ming University were holding umbrellas in their hands.
Today is a special day, the 80th anniversary of Mingcheng University.
In the gymnasium of Mingda University, the spotlights above cast bright and dazzling light. The three auditoriums and the wide square in the center are full of students, divided by colleges and departments. In front of them is a one-meter-high stage with a huge 2D animation background board, which plays the development history of Mingda University since its establishment.
"Hello, come in this way."
"The toilet is over there."
"Department of Mathematics? The seats of the Department of Mathematics are in East District 4, please go to the east gate."
As one of the volunteers, Xiao Li, wearing a goose yellow embroidered cheongsam, has a graceful figure and a big red etiquette ribbon on her shoulders. She patiently answers every student or guest invited by the school who comes to ask questions.
In order to look good, she wears a pair of 8-centimeter-high black stilettos.
These shoes may not fit her feet. From the beginning of the school anniversary party to now, her little toes have been a little painful.
"Cheng Luoxin is on stage to receive the award again. How come she has won all the awards?"
"Yes, she is the pride of our law school."
When two volunteers from the law school like Xiao Li were discussing, Xiao Li had no interest in participating. She was thinking whether to go to the toilet to take off her shoes and free her feet.
Just when Xiao Li decided to do so, she walked a few steps and a little girl with two small hairpins on her head ran over. She had a chubby face and looked only five or six years old. She held a mobile phone that was twice as big as her hand: "Sister, can you take a picture for me?"
Xiao Li thought that she should be the child of a teacher who was brought here to participate in the school celebration today. She couldnt bear to refuse and said, "Sure."
The little girl ran to a sculpture and posed very expressively, showing a bright smile to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li half squatted and pressed the shutter button.
"Sister, take another picture!" The little girl posed again.
Xiao Li faced her and pressed the shutter button again.
"Okay." Xiao Li was about to return the phone, but saw the little girl changing the background board, her mouth opening and closing: "Sister, take another one!"
"..."
All right.
This little conceited look is exactly the same as when she was a child.
Xiao Li patiently took several more photos of the little girl.
"Duoduo, why are you here!" A woman wearing glasses hurried over and picked up the little girl.
The little girl hugged her mothers neck and said, "I want to come out and take pictures."
The little girls phone was still in Xiao Lis hand, and she walked towards the woman: "Auntie, her phone is here."
Because she didnt know whether the woman was a teacher at Mingda or a teachers family member, she didnt call her "teacher" but "Auntie".
The little girl pointed at Xiao Li: "Mom, this sister took a lot of photos for me!"
The woman looked at Xiao Li, a little embarrassed, "Thank you, my little one loves to take a few photos wherever she goes, she is very conceited."
Xiao Li: "She can get 100 points for posing."
Xiao Lis words were very humorous, and the woman was immediately amused at her daughter.
People subconsciously want to pay more attention to beautiful things. After Xiao Li put on makeup, her usually pure face became more beautiful and charming, especially when she was wearing a cheongsam, her figure was curvy. The woman asked curiously: "Which college are you from?"
Xiao Li said: "Law School."
The woman said: "Law school, I thought you were from the Film School, you are so beautiful."
Xiao Li was used to being praised for her beauty since she was a child, so she didnt react much. Before she could respond, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Li Li!"
Xiao Li turned around and it was her roommate Han Ranxue.
"Arent you not coming?" Han Ranxue had said before that she had a part-time job tonight and couldnt come.
"Mom, mom, go find dad!" The little girl behind her kicked her legs. Seeing Xiao Li meet a friend, the woman said, "Classmate, Ill carry her in."
Xiao Li said "Hmm".
The woman carried the little girl away.
Xiao Li stared at the backs of the two.
"Oh, dont mention it. The child I tutored got sick, and the parents said they didnt want to tutor him anymore. But I told them when I got to the door of the house, saying that they forgot to notify me on WeChat. So I not only made a wasted trip today, but also paid for the travel expenses." Han Ranxue said a little unhappily.
Xiao Li said, "Then go in quickly. The party has been going on for a long time."
"Youre not going in?"
"Im a volunteer, responsible for this area. Its okay. I can watch from the door." Xiao Li said.
"Where does our law school sit?" Han Ranxue asked.
Xiao Li pointed, "Over there, see? Contact Nie Shanshan or Kong Yuanyuan."
Nie Shanshan and Kong Yuanyuan were Xiao Lis other two roommates. Although Xiao Li only lived in the dormitory for half a semester, she got along well with her former roommates.
"Oh my God, there are so many people." Han Ranxue was a little afraid to walk in under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Xiao Li said, "Why dont you ask them to pick you up? I cant do it anymore. My feet hurt so much. I need to go to the toilet."
"Whats wrong with your feet?" Han Ranxue asked.
"This shoe doesnt fit."
Xiao Li just finished speaking when she heard a movement behind her. She turned her head inadvertently, and paused slightly.
Two figures came in, both of whom she knew.
One was the vice president of Ming University, and the other was...
The other person was wearing a black suit, tall and straight, with single eyelids, dark pupils, smooth nose bone lines, thin lips, delicate features, but a light look, with a sense of oppression.
When the man walked in, he looked at her, his eyes were as dark as a pool.
Xiao Lis long eyelashes trembled.
She soon calmed down, turned her eyes away, and avoided the gaze.
The vice-president had a smile on his face and said something to the person next to him. The man slightly pulled his lower lip and responded to him.
The two gradually walked to the entrance.
The man raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Li, who pretended not to see him, with a slightly darker pupil.
After not seeing her for a few months, she seemed to have matured a lot. She looked very feminine in this cheongsam.
"Hello, vice-president." Xiao Li shouted to the vice-president like other volunteers, ignoring Wen Zhiying beside the vice-president.
The vice-president just nodded, didnt look at them much, focused on the people next to him, made a gesture of invitation to Wen Zhiying, and walked into the square with Wen Zhiying.
Dong.
Something fell to the ground, as if the man next to the vice-president had dropped his watch.
Being closest to Xiao Li, she bent down to pick it up and shouted, "Uncle, your watch fell off."
The word "Uncle" made Wen Zhiying, who was walking in front, pause.
The man turned around and looked at Xiao Li with an ambiguous look.
Xiao Li stuffed the watch into his hand, said nothing more, and returned to his original position.
Wen Zhiying retracted his gaze and continued to walk with the vice president.
After the people walked away, Han Ranxue patted Xiao Li lightly and said, "That handsome guy doesnt look old, why do you call him uncle? Oh, just because he is walking with our bald vice president?"
Han Ranxue wanted to laugh a little.
Xiao Li: "Not old? He is almost thirty-three."
"How do you know he is almost thirty-three?" Han Ranxue was curious.
"Guessed, he has wrinkles on his face."
"..."
Han Ranxue didnt chat with Xiao Li for long at the door, and entered the venue alone. When she was about to find the large group of law school, something suddenly occurred to her mind.
Hey? Why did she seem to see that handsome and elegant man wearing a diamond ring?
That diamond ring seemed to be exactly the same as the ring on Xiao Lis hand!
Xiao Li was the campus beauty of their Mingda University. She often became a hot topic in their school forum with her beauty. One of the most popular posts said that she had a boyfriend when she was a freshman. The wedding ring on her right ring finger was the best proof. Many people thought it was a rumor, but as Xiao Lis roommate, she could prove that it was not a rumor.
Because not long after the start of the freshman year, she and her two other roommates saw a ring on Xiao Lis hand.
Xiao Li also admitted to them in person that she was married and it was a wedding ring.
But her husband was very mysterious. They had never seen him in their junior year.
Could it be the handsome guy just now?
This sudden guess shocked Han Ranxue.
More than ten minutes later, she saw the handsome man she suspected to be Xiao Lis fake husband again.
It was on the stage.
His figure was magnified on the screen.
He was one of the successful people invited by the school to share life stories tonight. Because his handsome appearance was too inconsistent with his wealthy personality, the bored audience suddenly became alert. Many female classmates shouted like fans in the audience, but only Han Ranxue stared at the diamond ring on the mans left ring finger through the big screen.
Damn, the case was solved.
It was really him.
*
Near ten oclock, the party came to an end.
Nie Shanshan sent a WeChat message to Xiao Li, asking her if she wanted to join the midnight snack part in their dormitory, and Xiao Li quickly replied to her.
Nie Shanshan read the reply and said to Han Ranxue and Kong Yuanyuan: "Li Li said she has an appointment tonight and wont come."
Kong Yuanyuan showed a gossipy look: "At night, an appointment? Li Li is in trouble."
Nie Shanshan: "What is the situation? You forgot, Li Li is already taken."
Han Ranxue said: "Yes, I think she is going to see her husband tonight."
Not an estimate, but a certainty.
Kong Yuanyuan: "Im curious about what Li Lis husband looks like."
Han Ranxue smiled and said nothing, thinking: Baby, you just saw him.
*
Xiao Li dragged her feet that had endured too much and walked towards the parking lot of Mingda.
The phone vibrated, she took it out of her pocket and saw that it was a WeChat message from Wen Zhiying.
Cheap husband: [How long will it take. ]
Are you impatient to wait for her for a while?
Xiao Li didnt reply, anyway, she was almost there.
A few minutes later, she finally arrived at her destination. There were many cars parked in the parking lot. Even though Wen Zhiying had sent her the location, Xiao Li still couldnt find Wen Zhiyings car after searching for a long time.
She was a little impatient. It was the people in the car who noticed her first and turned on the lights.
Xiao Li was attracted by a white Rolls-Royce and walked over.
She walked lazily to the passenger seat and opened the door. Unexpectedly, Wen Zhiying was not in the drivers seat, but sitting in the passenger seat.
There was no one else in the car except him.
"Why are you sitting here?" Xiao Li asked.
Wen Zhiying said: "Lao Chen went home."
Lao Chen is Wen Zhiyings driver.
Xiao Li: "Then you cant sit in the passenger seat either, I cant drive."
Wen Zhiying said nothing and looked at her.
"What..." Xiao Li always felt that his eyes were wrong.
Wen Zhiying suddenly pulled her wrist and she fell into his arms.
The mans large palm came from behind.
Holding her waist, his voice fell from above her head, a little hoarse: "Did you call me uncle just now?"
