Chapter 9 We Are Not a Good Fit
The business of "Golden Night Dream" has always been very good, but there are not many people today.
So as soon as Tang Ning entered the bar, Lu Ouxun, who was sitting at the bar, turned his head and noticed him.
At the same time, he clearly heard Meng Ran calling him Tang Ning.
Tang Ning?He is Tang Ning?
Lu Ouxun subconsciously glanced at the boy a few more times.
Nothing special, just looks bookish.
This was Lu Ouxun's first feeling.
Then, Lu Ouxun turned his head around, yelled at Ah Tan at the bar, raised his chin, motioned to Tang Ning, and asked, "Meng Ran's friend, do you come here often?"
Ah Tan looked over and shook his head: "I guess I don't come here often, it's strange."
Unfamiliar?
Why are you here today?
Come to play with Meng Ran?
Lu Ouxun got up, took the wine glass, and walked over.
-
Meng Ran told Lu Ouxun that he would pass this point, and it was not too much of a surprise to say that it was a surprise.
Because Lu Ouxun is outgoing and cheerful, he has always been a person who likes to make friends and is very proactive.
There are not many customers today, and there are not many people sitting at the bar. Lu Ouxun probably saw that a boy finally came to the store, and he is also alone.
Fine.
Meng Ran didn't think much about it, and walked out with Liupin on the tray.
Putting Liupin on the table, Meng Ran heard Tang Ning say, "What a coincidence, Professor Liu is my teacher."
Meng Ran didn't leave with the tray in his arms, looked at Tang Ning, then at Lu Ouxun, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Tang Ning looked at Meng Ran, showing the shyness she had just met, and said nothing.
Lu Ouxun graciously raised his hand to signal to Tang Ning, and returned to Meng Ran: "There is a young assistant teacher in our school's mechanical department. He joined their school at the beginning of the year. That assistant teacher has a good relationship with me, and it happens to be them too. Department teacher."
Chang Meng Ran said: "What a coincidence."
Tang Ning smiled: "Yes, what a coincidence."
Turning to look at Lu Ouxun, there was a bit of undetectable joy in his expression, "The world is really small."
Meng Ran didn't notice.
Just as the wind chime was ding ding dong dong, a guest came.
Meng Ran said, "Let's talk," and walked towards the door with the tray in his arms.
Later, several batches of guests came one after another, and the hall was soon full.
Meng Ran took orders and delivered drinks to the guests, but he didn't care about Tang Ning, nor did he pay attention to what Tang Ning and Lu Ouxun talked about and how long they talked.
When he finally had time to take a breath, he stood at the door of the back kitchen and raised the curtain to look at Tang Ning. Lu Ouxun had already returned to the bar, and Tang Ning was sitting alone.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
Kevin stood behind Meng Ran and glanced out, and opened his mouth to urge him.
Meng Ran: "Understood."
Walking out of the bar, Meng Ran walked towards Tang Ning.
Meng Ran is not Lu Ouxun, and he doesn't have the ability to chat with strangers freely and naturally. He and Tang Ning are not familiar with each other, and it's the first time they meet. Meng Ran himself is quite restrained.
Walking to the round table, meeting Tang Ning's equally reserved eyes, Meng Ran smiled and said "Hi".
Tang Ning also smiled: "Hi."
Meng Ran sat down, not knowing how to speak, and tried to find a topic: "Sorry, I just got busy after you came."
Tang Ning became more cautious, and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing that the wine in Tang Ning's glass was empty, Meng Ran acted like he was suffering from an occupational disease, and said, "Let me help you refill."
Tang Ning said again: "It's okay, it's okay, I won't drink anymore."
chill...
Meng Ranqian pursed his lips while sitting, Tang Ning lowered her eyes and raised her hand to push her glasses.
The hatchback was silent for a while, Meng Ran said unnaturally: "Let me help you refill your glass, there is juice, do you want it?"
Tang Ning was about to say "it's okay" again, but when she heard the juice, she paused, nodded and said, "Okay, sorry for the trouble."
"Hold on."
Meng Ran got up to leave, turned and walked towards the bar.
At the bar, Meng Ran called Ah Qin to pour a glass of juice, and stood there waiting after calling.
Beside him, Lu Ouxun turned around from the swivel chair, held the wine glass to his lips, raised his eyelids, and looked at Meng Ran.
Meng Ran looked back, thinking that he and Tang Ning had chatted for a while just now, and asked casually, "What did you guys talk about just now?"
Holding the cup, Lu Ouxun shrugged his shoulders irresolutely, and said, "Let's chat casually."
Lu Ouxun asked Meng Ran: "Are you friends?"
Not really friends.
"what."
Meng Ran responded vaguely.
Lu Ouxun said again: "His school is quite far from here, did he come all the way to play with you?"
Meng Ran: "Yes."
Lu Ouxun shook his wine glass: "The relationship is so good."
It happened that Ah Tan put the juice on the table, Meng Ran didn't pay attention to what Lu Ouxun said, just said "um" casually, picked up the juice, and turned around.
Lu Ouxun's eyes chased after him, until he saw Meng Ran put the juice in front of Tang Ning, Tang Ning smiled shyly at Meng Ran.
Gee.
Lu Ouxun turned his head, thinking of Tang Ning's smile, suddenly felt a little strange:
If the two knew each other well, how could Tang Ning have that expression?It was as if the two had just met and met for the first time.
But if it's the first time they meet, the two boys, and Meng Ran works part-time here, why bother to make an appointment here?
Lu Ouxun always felt that something was not right.
Later, Tang Ning sat for another half an hour and left, saying that she had to transfer to the bus when she came here, and she was afraid that it would be too late and there would be no car to go back.
Meng Ran sent Tang Ning to the door, and walked out of Qingba together.
Standing in the alley outside the Qing Bar, the two were a little embarrassed with each other.
Meng Ran looked at Tang Ning, raised his hand in front of his chest, waved at Tang Ning, and said, "Then... goodbye."
Tang Ning nodded: "Okay, I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Meng Ran: "Then let's... get in touch on WeChat."
Tang Ning: "Okay."
Watching Tang Ning's back, Meng Ran silently took a deep breath: Mian Ji is really not an easy task.
Inside the bar, Lu Ouxun was sitting on a high chair, with his back to the bar and his face facing the door, his expression was deeply puzzled, and his expression was not good:
a friend?As for?
Is it because it's rare to see each other so far away, and the other party deliberately ran all the way here?
Boys still need to be sent all the way to the door?Sending is not enough, and you have to follow your eyes?
What's so sticky.
Lu Ouxun took a sip of his wine, showing displeasure.
When Meng Ran came back and walked to the bar, Lu Ouxun said, "I'll leave later."
Meng Ran: "Oh."
The response was mediocre.
Lu Ou Xun:?
Lu Ouxun looked at Meng Ran: "You can also send me to the door."
Meng Ran turned to look at Lu Ouxun, his surprised expression seemed to say: What are you giving?Do you have no legs yourself, or you will get lost when you walk to the door, and you don’t know the way back to the dormitory?
Lu Ouxun: "..."
Lu Ouxun simply said, "Then why did you send Tang Ning?"
Meng Ran thought, can it be the same?
He just met Tang Ning, and today is the first time meeting her, and she came all the way here on purpose, so he should be polite and considerate, right?
But what did Lu Ouxun ask this for?
Meng Ran said "Ah?", as if he couldn't digest why Lu Ounxun asked such a question, he paused, blinked and said, "Just...just give it away."
Lu Ouxun put down his wine glass and got up slowly: "Then you can send me off as well."
Meng Ran:? ?
Meng Ran finally sent Lu Ouxun to the door.
Standing outside the bar, Meng Ran acted like coaxing a child: "Is it alright?"
Lu Ouxun nodded, yes.
But Lu Ouxun followed suit and said, "You also stand here and watch me go."
Meng Ran:?
He doesn't want to go to work, does he?
Meng Ran was speechless, and said, "Should I send you back to the dormitory?"
Facing Meng Ran, Lu Ouxun put his hands in his pockets, stepped back in small steps, and said with a smile on his lips: "It's not impossible."
Meng Ran pursed his lips and shook his head speechlessly, he really felt that Lu Ouxun's behavior at the moment was like a child vying for favor.
He turned around and rushed in the direction of Qing Bar, raised his hand, and greeted with a gesture of goodbye, without even looking at Lu Ouxun, walked into Qing Bar, and his figure quickly disappeared.
Meng Ran was thinking about Tang Ning.
Was it the first time we met? He couldn't let go, and Tang Ning seemed even more reluctant than him.
Are you so shy?
After entering the back kitchen, Kevin said, "Tang Ning is gone?"
Meng Ran: "Let's go."
Kevin faced Meng Ran, with one hand on his hips and the other on the cooking table: "How does this first side feel?"
Meng Ran thought for a while, and said truthfully, "I'm quite shy."
Kevin: "You or him?"
Meng Ran: "He."
Kevin nodded, not too surprised: "Tang Ning is like this, just be familiar with her."
But Meng Ran thought that he and Tang Ning didn't call very often, and he didn't know if it would be better after getting acquainted.
That night, when he returned to his dormitory after get off work, Meng Ran received a message from Tang Ning.
[Tang Ning]: Excuse me, is the boy who sat at my table today and chatted with me your friend?
[Meng Ran]: Yes.
[Tang Ning]: Can you give me his WeChat?
Meng Ran:?
Meng Ran always felt that something was wrong.
Without thinking deeply, he replied to Tang Ning: I'll ask him.
Lu Ouxun is eating chicken with Tuo Tuo.
Meng Ran called him: "Tang Ning wants to add you, and I want your WeChat account, can you give it?"
Lu Ouxun didn't turn his head, didn't even think about it: "No."
When Meng Ran asked, he had already clicked on his personal business card on his mobile phone. After all, it was one aspect to consult Lu Ouxun himself.
On the other hand, he feels that with Lu Ouxun's extroverted personality who is easy to make friends, he will definitely not refuse.
What's more, the two of them seem to have a very happy chat tonight.
But now...
do not add?
Meng Ran paused for poking his finger at the screen, and raised his eyes in a daze.
He asked again: "No?"
Lu Ouxun: "No."
Meng Ran almost blurted out the question "why". Thinking about Lu Ouxun's rejection, he still has to ask why, if he doesn't add it, he won't add it.
The question now is, if Lu Ouxun doesn't want to join, how should he tell Tang Ning.
Meng Ran was racking his brains with his mobile phone, silently trying to organize his words in his heart, when Tang Ning's news came again.
[Tang Ning]: Well, I'm sorry, Meng Ran.
Meng Ran:?
Excuse me?What are you sorry for?
[Tang Ning]: I don't think we are very suitable.
Meng Ran: ...
[Tang Ning]: I like the boy who came to chat with me today.
[Tang Ning]: It's your friend.
Meng Ran:? ?
[Tang Ning]: Can you give me his WeChat?
[Tang Ning]: If it's inconvenient, forget it.
Meng Ran: ...
