Chapter 5
After Tan Qianqian said this, she regretted it.
Reminiscent of the relationship between Riemann and Huayan at the signing table, the signature addressed to Riemann, and also called Manman...
However, Tan Qianqian quickly accepted her conjecture.
Whether it's true or not, as written in the ending of "The Vine Grass", they have long been separated from each other, and each is happy.
Tan Qianqian looked at Riemann, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Manman, let's just skip this topic. It's because I was outspoken for a while, don't mind."
Riemann was at a loss for words for a while, she thought, maybe she was too obvious, and even Tan Sissi could easily see the problem.
She opened her mouth, and when the words of explanation reached her lips, she swallowed them back.
Riemann knew that even if he had the desire to confide, the other party should not be his blind date.
She put down the book and looked downstairs, which had already been cleaned up. The stage had become empty, and the poster that hit her heart earlier had also been removed.
Just like the person in the stairwell just now, he took away his broken heart that had been repaired in the past three years.
Riemann stabilized his mind before he said: "I'm sorry Miss Tan, I'm not feeling well, maybe I need to go back first."
Tan Qianqian was chatting about the prototype of the other protagonist of "Grass" in Huayan's book fan group. She looked at the various conjectures in the group, and then quietly compared the vines in the book with Li Si who was sitting opposite. Man met, feeling as if he had picked up a treasure.
Then this mood was alienated by Riemann's "Miss Tan", and cold water was poured on her head, which was still the kind of heart-cooling.
"Ah yes, I forgot that you just had an upset stomach. How is it? Do I need to accompany you to the hospital?" Tan Qianqian tried her best to smile, making her expression look more natural.
But Riemann didn't care much about what was wrong with Sissy, she shook her head.
"No thanks, I'll go back and have a rest."
After Riemann finished speaking, he remembered that he was still holding the book in his hand. This book belonged to Tan Qianqian, but now it was signed by Yin Huaiyan.
Tan Qianqian saw Riemann's entanglement, and said: "Okay, since your name is written on the book, then I will give you the book! Anyway, I still have a lot at home, so don't worry."
Riemann breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, thank you, I... will treat you to dinner next time."
Tan Qianqian agreed with a smile, and she also wanted to go home and watch "Grass" a few more times. She wanted to know more about Riemann, and strive for more opportunities to develop well with Riemann.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
After bidding farewell to Tan Qianqian, Riemann returned to his home alone with the book in his arms.
Riemann seldom went to the house that he rented with Yin Huaiyan at the beginning, since Yin Huaiyan moved away, except to transfer the rent and water and electricity bills to the landlord on time every quarter, and even if he occasionally went there, he would leave after cleaning. I was afraid that if I stayed there longer, I would be filled with overwhelming memories.
The current residence was purchased after separation.
Riemann put the book on the bookshelf next to the sofa and smiled involuntarily, but the smile was full of inexplicable melancholy.
Only after seeing Yin Huaiyan did he realize how much useless work he had done in the past three years.
Riemann put away his smile and walked to the French window.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun covered the whole house, and all the furniture was covered with a layer of warm yellow.
She fetched a bottle of strawberry yogurt from the refrigerator, plugged in a straw, and sat casually on the blanket next to her.
Holding the cold bottle, Riemann drank it in one gulp, then turned around and took the book over and opened it.
[During the days when Xiaocao practiced calligraphy, Manman would come to her every afternoon after school.
Manman always wears a school uniform that is one size bigger, and then hides all kinds of delicious snacks and drinks in the clothes, and quietly takes them to Xiaocao.
Once Manman never came, Xiaocao went to find her.
Just saw someone holding a large bouquet of chocolate flowers to confess to Man Man.
That was the first time Xiaocao understood what it was like to be jealous. 】
-
"Riemann, I like you. Be my girlfriend." The boy sent the chocolate flower in front of Riemann, shy and confident, as if he believed that Riemann would not reject him.
"That's really embarrassing, I already have a girlfriend." Riemann took out the strawberry-flavored lollipop in his mouth and answered lazily.
The male lead obviously didn't believe it, "Are you lying? Why do you like girls?"
Riemann frowned, she hated people who were moaning the most, "Believe it or not, get out of the way, I still have something to do."
It was too late for the appointment with Ah Yan, and Riemann really didn't want to waste time on this kind of person.
Seeing that the other party would continue to entangle, Riemann directly bypassed the other party and strode away.
That day Riemann found Yin Huaiyan in the back playground.
Yin Huaiyan squatted in front of the lawn, the grass was almost bald by her.
Rieman thought that Yin Huaiyan was mad at him for being late, and it took him a long time to make him happy.
-
Riemann ended his memories and looked up at the sky that had begun to darken.
The stars shone slightly, dimmed by the colorful lights of the surrounding buildings.
The mood is a little strange.
It turned out that at that time, Ah Yan began to like herself.
But I only know it now in the book.
Recalling the nervous confession at the beginning, and that cautious first kiss.
Riemann had always been proud of taking the initiative, but it was actually a development that that person had expected for a long time.
From this point of view, the abandoned self is even more ridiculous.
Riemann pursed his lips, and there was a faint taste of strawberry yoghurt on his lips.
This taste has lingered for more than ten years.
Riemann had to admit that she was an extremely nostalgic and self-deceiving person.
Otherwise, look up at the decorations in the house and say goodbye to Yin Huaiyan, but isn't the shadow left by Yin Huaiyan everywhere?
Yin Huaiyan likes the paintings of vines, the flowers and plants on the balcony are what Yin Huaiyan has always wanted to raise, and even the luminous star lights in the bedroom were all Yin Huaiyan hadn't had time to buy home after choosing them...
The more Riemann thought about it, the angrier he became.
He didn't get out of his relationship with Yin Huaiyan at all.
Where is she, Yin Huaiyan?
From the looks of it today, it seems to be doing very well.
Riemann simply moved out a few large storage boxes, intending to put away all the related items that deceived himself.
Best to throw it all away.
Of course, if she had the courage to throw it away.
I didn't have the heart to start my hands, but when I put it away, Riemann let go.
Until late at night, Riemann looked at the masterpieces in the room and was satisfied.
The phone rang at this time too.
"Riemann, there is an urgent illustration list, can you take it?"
The caller was Luo Ran, editor of the publishing house who had been cooperating with Riemann.
"What book?" Riemann asked.
"It's your favorite book Wu Wang. We worked on it for a long time before, and the author never agreed to publish it. I thought it was a dead end. But today she contacted us and not only agreed to publish it, but also said that she would appoint you to draw illustrations."
Riemann was not too surprised after listening, "But I don't seem to know the author."
Luo Ran sighed, "She said she was introduced by other author friends, and felt that your style fits her book very well. Let me be honest, we are not the only publishing house that wants to publish this book. I read her book. Meaning, if it wasn’t for your painting, she might not come out or find another home.”
Riemann was a little embarrassed. "Wu Wang" was serialized on the Internet at the beginning, and it was all the rage, but the author cheated the ending at a critical moment and has not updated it.
She dislikes nothing that has no ending.
"So she wrote the ending?"
There was a moment of silence on Luo Ran's side, "Not yet, but if we talk about it, she said that she will come over and hand in the manuscript in person, so you can come and take a look?"
Riemann reluctantly agreed, "Okay, you send the specific items first, and I will see how to arrange it."
Luo Ran repeatedly agreed, "Okay, I'll go right away. Hey wait, how is your blind date this time?"
Riemann took the microphone to the other ear, covered his mouth and yawned silently.
"That's it. I plan to ask her out for dinner next time. Do you have any good suggestions for the restaurant?"
Luo Ran on the other side of the phone seemed surprised, "Don't you miss your ex? Are you finally willing to move on to a new life?"
Facing the storage boxes in the room, Riemann felt quite tired, "No. I just saw her today."
"Who?"
"My first love. Maybe you have heard of it, the pen name is Huayan."
pat.
The sound of something falling came from the microphone on the other side.
After a while, the call is terminated.
At this time, Luo Ran, who was still working overtime in the publishing house, was helpless with his phone with a broken screen.
Riemann's first love was Huayan, and Huayan's other pseudonym was Airi.
Airi is also the author of "Wu Wang".
