Chapter 659 This Is Not Love at All
Flower growers like to set off firecrackers, and business flower growers like to set off cannons even more.
Especially during the Spring Festival, whenever there is some business at home, there will always be so many 8,000-ring firecrackers.
If you don't let it go, you won't feel at ease when doing business in the coming year. If you encounter any small setback, you will wonder if you didn't worship God religiously enough during the Chinese New Year, and didn't light up the cannons brightly enough.
So when night fell, the firecrackers in Chinatown started to ring loudly, making many tourists from out of town scream in fear, thinking that the local community suddenly broke out with guns!
After all, there are a lot of halls in Chinatown, and little troubles can arise from time to time. Just now, several lion dance halls already smelled of gunpowder, so it's not unusual for fights to start now.
Xia Zhemin and Ruan Shujun, who had just finished setting off cannons in the Chaozhou Hotel, encountered someone setting off cannons outside when they went out.
Ruan Shujun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed repeatedly. After the two hugged each other and hid for a while, they turned around and went back to the hotel.
Judging from the way they were chatting with each other, they seemed to be still feeling the afterglow of the wind and rain, so much so that they didn't realize that there were a few people across the street watching them silently.
Li Ye raised his hand and looked at his watch. In less than fifteen minutes, excluding the preparation and aftermath, the rate of fire was not too slow.
But young people are young people, and they can shoot consecutively.
Sister Zhen sneered and said to Jiao Yaqiang: "Now you believe it, look at her insatiable attitude. If anyone ruins their good things, she will designate whom to deal with."
"Oh~, when Ruan Shujun and I came together, she was not like this."
Jiao Yaqiang sighed, smiled brightly and said: "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and it's hard to persuade someone who is looking for death, so just let her be!"
Sister Zhen looked at Jiao Yaqiang with contempt: "You should have been like this a long time ago. You help this and that all day long. It seems that there is no one you can't help. In fact, in the end, it's good if you can take care of yourself."
Li Ye heard a strong sense of sarcasm and helplessness in Sister Zhen's words.
There are always some people in the world who have the good character of "helping others". However, after being disappointed again and again, they finally see clearly that indifference is the most common essence between people.
Jiao Yaqiang's "willingness to help others" may eventually lead to some rare friendships, but at the same time, it will also lead to more disappointment and helplessness.
"Lao Jiao, the lion dance parade has passed, what are you still watching here?"
Just when Sister Zhen was complaining about Jiao Yaqiang, Liu Dongsheng, who had borrowed money from Jiao Yaqiang, appeared out of nowhere with a few classmates.
Sister Zhen immediately said: "There were firecrackers everywhere just now. We hid here for a while. Where are you going?"
Liu Dongsheng said with a smile: "We are going to the theater. When I came here, I saw a stage at the corner of the street. It is probably about to start. Are you guys going?"
Jiao Yaqiang raised his legs and left: "Of course I will go. When I was in China, I always found Peking Opera to be difficult to watch, but after arriving at the lighthouse, I started to like it more and more."
Everyone walked to the street together in great interest. In fact, not everyone can understand the art of Peking Opera, but they couldn't stand it. This is a unique show for flower growers!
Shengdan is pure and ugly, interpreting history and reflecting life.
However, Wen Leyu, who was walking behind, took Li Ye's hand and nuzzled at Liu Dongsheng and others in front.
Li Ye nodded, indicating that he understood.
Liu Dongsheng and others were actually "stalking" Xia Zhemin and Ruan Shujun just now. I believe that a good story about these two people will soon spread on the UC campus.
After all, the skill of "spreading gossip" is the group self-awareness skill of flower growers!
"Hey, hey, let me tell you something, but please don't tell anyone else."
"Yeah, yeah, I won't tell, I will keep it secret. But if the bottom of the bottle falls, it's not my fault~"
When everyone arrived at the stage at the corner of the street, the gongs had indeed started, but what was being sung at this time was not Peking opera, but Cantonese opera.
In San Francisco's Chinatown, there are many more old immigrants who speak Cantonese than new immigrants, and most of the shop owners also speak Cantonese, so Li Ye and others can understand.
Although the babbling lines were harder to understand, everyone still watched it carefully.
After all, after today, it would be difficult to see the skill of the sleeves of this robe~
But before Li Ye and others finished watching a play, a weird voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Hi, Zhen, I finally found you. You made me look so hard!"
"."
Li Ye and others turned to look over and found a fair-skinned man holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, looking at Zhen Rongrong in surprise.
Li Ye looked at Zhen Rongrong in surprise, only to find that Zhen Rongrong was also very surprised, and subconsciously took two steps back to distance herself from the man.
Then Zhen Rongrong asked coldly: "Kadir, what do you want from me?"
The white-skinned man was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Oh, I just arrived in San Francisco, and I heard someone said that you have been looking for me a while ago.
So I immediately went to school to find you, but your classmates said that you came to Chinatown to participate in the parade, so I came to find you, Zhen, I have been treating you."
"Mr. Kadir, it wasn't me who was looking for you a few days ago, but Ruan Shujun was looking for you."
Zhen Rongrong interrupted Kadir, and then explained: "Ruan Shujun was sick, but you disappeared, so she was very anxious and asked me to find news about you."
"Oh~, is Ruan sick? That's so unfortunate"
The man named Kadier said regretfully: "Since we parted last time, I have lost contact with Ruan. I called your dormitory many times, but no one answered"
"No one answered? Are you sure no one answered?"
Zhen Rongrong's face was already very bad. Ruan Shujun had been lying in the dormitory all day these days, just expecting Kadier to call her. How could no one answer?
"Yes, yes, you and Ruan are too hardworking. I have never seen such beautiful and hardworking girls like you. Oh, I came to San Francisco today just to spend your traditional festival Spring Festival with you."
"."
Facing Kadier who was chattering endlessly, Zhen Rongrong resisted the nausea and finally said in a loud voice: "Sorry, I want to celebrate the festival with my friends, please leave!"
Kadier was stunned, his eyes widened, as if he could not accept being rejected by a flower-growing girl at all.
After a long while, he said in disbelief: "Zhen, aren't we friends?"
Zhen Rongrong answered flatly: "I'm sorry, no, I'm not familiar with you."
"Oh~, Zhen, you're so sad."
Kadier made a bitter face and spread his hands, looking so innocent.
But the next moment, he asked: "Then can you tell me where Ruan is?"
Vonima.
Even Li Ye, who had seen all kinds of scumbags, almost swore.
You want to give flowers to Zhen Rongrong, and then you want to find Ruan Shujun. Don't you even act? So straightforward, so anxious?
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
Zhen Rongrong's chest was already heaving violently with anger, so how could she tell Kadier?
"Okay then! I'll go find her myself, but I want to tell you sincerely, Zhen, you misunderstood me."
"."
Kadier took the bouquet of flowers and walked towards Chinatown. Today, most Chinese people in San Francisco will come here to play, so if they are looking for someone, they must look for him in Chinatown.
When Kadier left, Zhen Rongrong suddenly cursed in a low voice-"I misunderstood your mother's feet."
"."
Li Ye, Wen Leyu and others all looked sideways, looking at Zhen Rongrong with a red face, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
It was quite weird to force Zhen Rongrong to curse.
But before the Cantonese opera was over, something even weirder happened.
Two police cars suddenly stopped at the intersection of Chinatown, and several policemen hurriedly ran inside.
"Did something happen?"
"Let's go, let's go and watch the fun. Yeah, where's Lao Liu? Where's Liu Dongsheng?"
At this time, everyone realized that Liu Dongsheng, who was watching the show just now, had disappeared without knowing when.
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye quietly again. This time, she did not notice when Liu Dongsheng disappeared.
Li Ye whispered: "He left with Kadier just now. If the police went to Chaozhou Hotel, then you should understand what happened!"
Wen Leyu was surprised and said: "Why?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "Do you still remember what Sister Zhen said that Liu Dongsheng pursued Ruan Shujun? The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. Love can easily turn into hatred."
"."
Wen Leyu was stunned for a while, and shook his head vigorously: "That is not love at all, it is selfish possession."
