Chapter three hundred and fifty first classmate's brother
When Cheng Yi first saw Chen Huai coming, she thought she had read the wrong person and was also shocked.
When she first met in the first month of the year, although she had a bad impression of Chen Huai's past of exile, Chen Huai's appearance was very good. At least for superficial women, having such a partner can bring great vanity and satisfaction in terms of family background and appearance.
However, Chen Huai in front of him seemed to have ruined his face, his hair was messy, his face was thinner twice, his chin was pointed, his eye sockets were sunken, his whole body looked tired, his body was standing with dry shape, his eyes were not very good, he dragged a large sail bag like a fleeing suit, and his suit was wrinkled. I don’t know how many years he has been wearing it, so it’s fine if he carried a briefcase on business trip, but Chen Huai also carried three on his shoulder at once, standing on the street, making people think he was a vendor selling second-hand old bags.
Seeing Cheng Yi hesitantly looking at him, Chen Huai spread his hands and said self-deprecatingly: "This is my best outfit in the UK. I hope I will get on the plane later and don't chase it down..."
He brought a few sets of clothes to change clothes on a business trip, but after he arrived in Birmingham, he didn't have the conditions to change his work clothes when he went to the production line. He was cautious and climbed up and down dozens of times, but he couldn't keep the new things needed for the ceremony. He was mixed with Pan Cheng and the others all day long, and he didn't care about his appearance. Including the time in China, his hair was ignored for more than two months. If he didn't pay attention, he would be messy like a bird's nest.
He was still Sun Haiwen at the root and was reluctant to use foreign exchange to buy expensive clothes locally, so he made do with it and chose a suit that looked OK to put it on. He did not want to buy anything else when he went on a business trip, but mostly used it to buy a lot of domestic and technical information, stuffing large canvas bags full of them.
Cheng Yi had no feelings for Chen Huai, and even had a strong repulsion in her heart. She was forced to keep in touch with Chen Huai due to the request of her family. She was indifferent to Chen Huai's good or bad. She just smiled politely and said, "I have two friends who want to go back to China with us. There is still some time, so we are here to have a meal and chat. I don't know when you will come here, so I didn't order you..." She pointed to the three extremely annoying briefcases on Chen Huai's shoulders and asked, "Do you want me to help?"
"No," Chen Huai dragged his large canvas luggage and walked into the restaurant with Cheng Yi. "After getting up in the morning, I hurriedly packed my things. I found that in the UK, I couldn't put a big bag in one month. I hurriedly couldn't find a bag that looked better, so I used two more briefcases. At first, everyone thought it was normal, and I didn't think anything was wrong. I got on the train from Birmingham and someone came over to ask me how to sell this bag. I felt something was wrong. You are so useless when you are a girl selling bags like this..."
Cheng Yi smiled. Although she felt that Chen Huai was very smooth-mouthed, she also felt that these words sounded untiring.
Chen Huai asked Cheng Yi again: "By the way, how should I introduce myself in front of your friends?" He thought that Cheng Yi could travel with him by plane, probably quite close. He knew that Cheng Yi was in a state of "dating" with him due to family pressure, and might not be willing to let his close friends know about this state, so he asked one more question.
After hearing Chen Huai's question, Cheng Yi's face turned a little red. She was indeed worried about how to introduce Chen Huai's identity in front of her friends.
Family is a family. After Cheng Yi went to study in the UK, she was unwilling to let her family affect her study abroad life. She even had a good impression of the conservative and stubborn family life that was seriously infiltrated by politics, thinking that at least when she was young, she would be farther away and not think about what the family responsibilities she had to bear.
Of course, Cheng Yi was unwilling to introduce Chen Huai to her friends and said that she was a political marriage partner arranged by her family. She found it difficult to speak of - in the UK, if others knew that they needed to be identified through intercourse, it would probably be a joke for classmates and friends.
Chen Huai strongly asked his sister-in-law to go back to China with Cheng Yi, but Cheng Yi also accepted the request of Chen Huai's travelers under her mother's pressure.
They took a plane back to China and then had two meals in a fake way. They gave their family an explanation. They were not in trouble with their daily lives, and this was nothing. However, after Cheng Yi booked the air ticket and itinerary, the two friends wanted to return to China because they had something to do at home, but she could not refuse to go with her.
"I," Cheng Yi said, "I told them you are the brother of my middle school classmate."
Cheng Yi is indeed a middle school classmate with Song Tong, and is even one class lower than Song Tong.
Chen Huai smiled with a deep understanding and said, "Oh, I understand."
Seeing that Chen Huai was not at all dissatisfied, but also smiled quite understandingly, Cheng Yi relaxed and thought that although this person was not good at anything, at least one point, he would not be under any pressure when he was with him. Thinking about the scene when Chen Huai was playing tricks in a Western restaurant last time, he couldn't help laughing again.
Cheng Yi’s friends, one man and one woman, are all domestic young people who went to study in the UK one year earlier than Cheng Yi.
When he walked into the restaurant, Cheng Yi introduced for Chen Huai: The woman has a pretty face, she is taller and thinner than Cheng Yi, and she is dressed in a short skirt and windbreaker. If she wasn't too thin, she would be considered a mid-grade beauty; the man is named Liu Fulong, and in April, she is also wearing a white scarf in her suit, which has a bit of a literary temperament that is deliberately highlighted.
In short, there are rats and snakes, and domestic students in the UK also have their own circles.
Although Cheng Yi lives in Yanjing with her parents all year round, her hometown is like Yu Peili and Liu Fulong. They are both in Qinghe City, Hebei Province, so after studying in the UK, they became familiar with each other.
Yu Peili and Liu Fulong are lovers. Judging from their clothes and their families are well off.
However, Chen Huai, Yu and Liu were just taking the same flight together, and there was no need to have too deep dating. They shook hands with them and briefly introduced that they were on a business trip from China to the UK. They happened to fly back together, so they asked the waiter to come up and ordered another pizza to eat.
I didn't have time to have breakfast in the morning, so I delayed the road for five hours. When I arrived to meet Cheng Yi, I was still hungry.
Cheng Yi introduced Chen Huai as the brother of a middle school classmate. He went to the UK for a business trip and returned to China together. Liu Fulong and Yu Peili didn't doubt anything. Chen Huai was not much different from the images of state-owned enterprise technicians who went abroad to work in business, and they were even more miserable.
After a brief greeting, Liu and Yu sat aside with Cheng Yi and talked about their life in the UK, politics, literature, art, law, etc. They didn't think that Chen Huai could have any common language with them, but they just kept the basic etiquette of meeting fellow villagers in other countries indifferently.
After eating, Liu Fulong was determined not to let Chen Huai pay: "Your unit is on a business trip, there is probably not much foreign exchange subsidy?"
"It's okay, there is a subsidy of twenty dollars a day." Chen Huai was honest. All the extra subsidies for all outsourcing employees, including him and Pan Cheng, are only twenty dollars a day.
Of course, this is the company's subsidy for individuals, the daily expenses of employees' daily living abroad and all his business expenses in Birmingham, which naturally follows the company's finances. Liu Fulong insists on treating guests, but Chen Huai will naturally not insist on not giving in. Another thing is that he has frequent communication with people during this period and is almost nauseous. He wishes others are more cold to him and has time to give his brain a rest.
Cheng Yi also knew that neither Chen Huai nor Liu Fulong would care about the meal costs of tens of pounds. She liked Chen Huai's silent and low-key attitude, so that she could separate after returning to the country safely and then explain to her family, and she was not afraid that when she returned to the UK, she would ask questions to her classmates and friends in the UK.
The UK is seven or eight hours later than Yanjing. Chen Huai and his boarding time is 3 o'clock in the afternoon in London, but it is actually 11 o'clock in Yanjing time. It is 11 hours to fly to Yanjing Airport. It should be around 10 o'clock in the morning the next day.
Since he was just the brother of a middle school classmate, Chen Huai had no intention of showing any kind of attentiveness to Cheng Yi all the way. When he got on the plane, he asked the flight attendant for a blanket and slept with the sun visor on the porthole.
Chen Huai seemed to hear someone snoring, and woke up in a daze. He felt that the things under his cheeks were soft. He opened his eyes and a smooth skin as smooth as grease was close to his eyes. He swallowed and realized that Cheng Yi's cheek was in front of him. However, Cheng Yi's whole body leaned outward as much as possible. Perhaps because he could not hide, he had to endure his shoulders on her shoulders, but there was an extra blanket on his shoulders.
Perhaps it was the movement of his awakening that disturbed Cheng Yi, Yu Peili and the others. They turned their heads and looked over.
Chen Huai was a little embarrassed and asked Cheng Yi: "Why did you hear someone snoring?"
Yu Peili couldn't help laughing, Cheng Yi held back her laugh; Chen Huai noticed that Liu Fulong, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, frowned, and did not laugh or say anything. Instead, the young man in the same plane sitting in front of Liu Fulong turned around and looked at Chen Huai and told him:
"Brother, you're sleeping so well. You're snoring yourself so that everyone can't sleep. When you wake up, you can turn around and rely on others to get on your head. I've grown up so old that I've never seen you break up like that. Of course, if I can sleep on Miss Cheng's shoulders, I won't wake up no matter how hard I push me. But if you keep your saliva flowing on Miss Cheng's shoulders, it's too abrupt and beautiful..."
When sitting next to a beautiful woman, you must get used to enduring the hostile and thorny eyes of others.
Seeing this young man wearing a black suit, a wool sweater and a purple flower tie, a "Miss Cheng" on his left and a "beauty" on his right, Chen Huai thought that when he was sleeping, the boy had been chatting with Cheng Yi, Yu Peili, Liu Fulong and the others for a long time.
Chen Huai wiped the sticky corner of his mouth, and saliva flowed out. When he looked at the blanket, he seemed to have a wet mark. He was really sleeping too well and was really embarrassed.
Cheng Yi took off the blanket on her shoulder, probably because she was worried that Chen Huai's saliva was marking through the blanket. She looked at her shoulders again, asking Chen Huai to understand that she was not happy about him sleeping soundly on her shoulders, but she just didn't force him to wake him up because of the hindrance.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sleeping so well just now." Chen Huai apologized.
"Nothing." Cheng Yi was probably afraid that Chen Huai would misunderstand, and her tone of response was very cold, dry and emotional, and the atmosphere suddenly became colder.
Chen Huai sat upright and asked the sore muscles on his back to relax a little. Looking at the clear morning light coming through the gap in the porthole cover, he felt like he had been sleeping for a long time. Looking at the watch, he actually slept for about six hours.
Chen Huai noticed Liu Fulong's eyes again, feeling displeased and dissatisfied. He thought that he was probably unhappy about sleeping with Cheng Yi's shoulders. Perhaps it was because he and Yu Peili were lovers, so he was not good at saying anything.
