At sunset, the mountains are far away

Chapter 27 Tao Yan's Ex-Girlfriend Shows Up

Xia Chengqi had just arrived at the new company in Qinghai, and he was still in the stage of adapting to many things at work. In addition, Tao Yanyuan was on the other side of the ocean, and the time difference became a problem, so the two of them hadn't had a good chat for a long time.

After Tao Yan arrived in California, the first scenic spot he visited was Lake Tahoe. After admiring the clear and green lake water, he still did not forget to post on Moments and Facebook, but the beautiful photos only had beautiful scenery and no beauties.When she was working at her desk at night, she received a call from a local number in the United States. She couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Hey, it's me, Shen Junran, do you remember?"

A strange yet familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, hitting Tao Yan's memory that had almost disappeared deep in his heart.

"Remember, is there something wrong?"

"Are you in California?"

"Well, take part in a project."

"Are you free to have a meal together? I can also show you around. There are many interesting places in California." Tao Yan fell into silence. She didn't know what it was like to sit opposite someone who hadn't contacted for many years. scene.Is it to talk to each other, pour out their lives over the years, and then start frequent contact again?They still look at each other without saying a word, don't know what to eat, and return to their respective life tracks after having an awkward chat.

"Is it inconvenient?" Shen Junran's cautious and inquiring tone came over, and Tao Yan was in a daze for a while, as if he had returned to five years ago.She was shining brightly on that stage back then, and she was full of high spirits, and now she has stayed in the United States for nearly five years. She doesn't know if Shen Junran has changed in the past five years in a foreign country, or she is still as full of ambition as before.

"No inconvenience, when?"

The two agreed on a good time and place to meet before hanging up the phone without much greeting.Tao Yan looked at some strange furnishings in the apartment, and moved his gaze out of the window. No matter where he was, it seemed that the city in the night always swayed the same enthusiasm and vitality. In the speckled lights, people's happy or sad lives were built. , she knew that she was about to lose her memory of Shen Junran, but now she wanted to see Xia Chengqi very much.

"Why did you make a video call?" Xia Chengqi looked up at his colleagues around him, then secretly ran to the lounge with his mobile phone, and sat down with his face facing the door.

"I can't see anyone on the phone." Tao Yan's reproachful voice came.Tao Yan is sitting on the bed at the moment, the local time is around ten o'clock in the evening.Xia Chengqi looked at the little Tao Yan on the screen of the mobile phone, his eyes swept over Tao Yan's face carefully, and let go of his longing for the person he missed across the mountain and across the ocean.

"What are you thinking? Don't speak."

"I'm thinking about when I can see the person I miss"

"Who is the person you miss?" Tao Yan always likes to go around and make fun of it.

Xia Chengqi smiled and said nothing, she was used to Tao Yan's tricks, and she had also practiced the ability to change the subject. "Is everything all right over there?"

"It's all good. Walking through all kinds of people every day, hearing countless unfamiliar languages, I can feel the multiculturalism of California."

"I'm a little envious of what I heard. Enjoy it." As soon as the words finished, several colleagues came in with cups, and they were a little surprised to see Xia Chengqi sitting at the bare table holding a video on his mobile phone.Xia Chengqi quickly moved to the small balcony outside the lounge, "Tao Yan, I might die."

"But we haven't talked for long." Tao Yan's tone was obviously dissatisfied. She needed Xia Chengqi's company at this time, but then she thought that it was really inconvenient for Xia Chengqi to go to work, so she adopted a compromise plan. "Then you keep the camera on, as long as I can see you."

So Xia Chengqi sat on the seat, wearing earphones, and the video call was still on with the mobile phone on the stand. In the interface, Tao Yan was holding a book to look at himself and then looked down at the book. Occasionally, he could hear Tao Yan turning the pages of the book. friction sound.Xia Chengqi kept a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, very satisfied with this state.

Tao Yan and Shen Junran agreed to meet at a Mexican restaurant.Shen Junran may have just finished, and he was still wearing professional suits, dressed like an elite, and he seemed a bit out of place sitting in a casual restaurant, but the vigorous aura on his body has not changed.After the two briefly greeted each other, they sat down and looked at each other speechlessly for a while.Shen Junran's expression was natural, and he looked at Tao Yan with his eyes, as if to see if Tao Yan had changed over the years, but in the past five years, they had already become well-dressed socialites who were still a little youthful.

"I heard that you became a teacher in college. Do you still hold meetings?" Shen Junran broke the silence and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Selective will do."

"University teachers are too leisurely, so it's good to do it." Shen Junran looked at Tao Yan whose curly hair was scattered on his shoulders in front of him, and remembered that Tao Yan had straight hair before, and the curly hair gave Tao Yan a soft and delicate face. Yan Ping added a bit of charm.

When the dishes were served, the two of them were speechless for a while, and then they concentrated on the food in front of them.Tao Yan pretended to glance at Shen Junran unintentionally.She found that Shen Junran had not changed much overall, but the spirit in his brows was slightly calmer than it was five years ago, and his whole person was more calm and mature.Shen Junran's side profile is sharp and her nose is straight, which adds a bit of heroism to her.

"Aren't you planning to go back to China?" Tao Yan asked seemingly casually.

"I guess there is, but I haven't planned it yet. I'm a little tired after being away for so many years." Tao Yan could see that Shen Junran's makeup was covering up the tiredness between his eyebrows.

"What about you? Are you going to be a university teacher forever?"

"It's good to be a teacher. I don't have any other ideas yet."

"Then... how about feelings?" Shen Junran hesitated slightly when he asked this slightly sensitive question.When she saw that Tao Yan's Facebook, which had not been updated for many years, finally had a new update, the memories that had long been left behind in her heart were tumbling for no reason, and the waves in her heart couldn't be restrained. Just bide their time and make a comeback.

Tao Yan didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Shen Junran calmly. "Is this one of the questions that people who meet again after a long absence must ask?"

"If you don't want to answer, forget it, I won't force it." Shen Junran felt a little abrupt.

"I just don't think it has anything to do with you." After Tao Yan finished speaking, he lowered his face and chewed on the steak

"Are you still blaming me? Blaming me... for choosing to leave." Tao Yan was taken aback when he heard Shen Junran utter the word "leave", but his face remained calm.

"Everyone has his own choice, and he will be one of other people's choices. It doesn't matter whether it's weird or not."

Shen Junran didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but turned to ask Tao Yan if she had time, and she could take her around the surrounding area, but was politely declined by Tao Yan.After the two of them had dinner, since the location of the apartment was exactly opposite, they turned their backs away as soon as they left the restaurant, and said goodbye.Tao Yan suddenly remembered how similar this scene was to five years ago. After saying goodbye, they each turned around and were strangers to each other from now on.
