On Saturday afternoon, the sun shined through the bamboo curtain of the teahouse and sprinkled on Li Ting and Wang Fang. Li Ting wore a simple white dress, which looked particularly fresh, while Wang Fang chose a light blue long skirt, revealing a gentle temperament. The two sat in a corner of the teahouse, each with a cup of fragrant jasmine tea in front of them.
"Fang, don't be nervous, I've seen Zhang Wei, he's a good person. Li Ting smiled, trying to ease Wang Fang's nervousness.
Wang Fang gently stirred the teacup, frowning slightly: "Ting, I know you are for my good, but I... I'm afraid the atmosphere will be awkward. ”
"Don't worry, I'm here, I promise it won't embarrass you. Li Ting said, handing Wang Fang an encouraging look.
Time passed minute by minute, and the conversation between the two gradually shifted from the topic of blind date to daily anecdotes, and the warm atmosphere in the teahouse made Wang Fang's mood slowly relax.
Soon, a man wearing a casual shirt with a delicate face walked into the teahouse, he looked around, and soon found the location of Li Ting and Wang Fang, and walked over with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Wei, it's a pleasure to meet you. Zhang Wei stretched out his hand politely, first nodded to Wang Fang, and then turned to Li Ting.
"Hello, I'm Wang Fang, and this is my best friend Li Ting. Wang Fang's voice trembled a little, but she still tried her best to show her politeness.
"Miss Wang, Miss Li, just call me Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei's tone was gentle, and his gaze wandered between the two ladies, appearing respectful and natural.
After the three of them sat down, Zhang Wei began to chat with Wang Fang about some light-hearted topics, while Li Ting interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. However, when Wang Qiang unexpectedly appeared in the teahouse, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes.
"Fang, have you already started?" Wang Qiang walked over with a smile, patted Wang Fang's shoulder, and then stretched out his hand to Zhang Wei, "Hello, I am Wang Fang's brother, Wang Qiang." ”
Zhang Wei stood up and shook hands with Wang Qiang: "Hello, Brother Wang Qiang, my name is Zhang Wei." ”
Wang Qiang's appearance and temperament did leave a deep impression, and his appearance undoubtedly brought a certain amount of pressure to Zhang Wei. Li Ting noticed the subtle change in Zhang Wei's expression, and she cleared her throat in an attempt to change the subject.
"Brother Wang Qiang, why are you here today?" asked Li Ting with a smile.
"Oh, I happened to have something to do nearby, so I stopped by to take a look. Wang Qiang said, pulled over a chair and sat down, "You continue to talk, I'll sit here and listen." ”
Zhang Wei's eyes looked at Wang Qiang, and he couldn't help but have a trace of comparison in his heart. He adjusted his sitting, trying to look more at ease.
As the conversation of the four continued, the atmosphere in the teahouse seemed to become more subtle. From time to time, Li Ting used humorous words to add vitality to the conversation, while Wang Fang felt an unusual tension between Zhang Wei and Wang Qiang.
With the fragrance of tea, the conversation between the four gradually deepened. Zhang Wei began to inquire about Wang Fang's interests and hobbies, trying to find more common ground. Wang Fang talked about her love of painting, and Zhang Wei's eyes sparkled with interest, and he shared his little hobby of occasional photography, which made the two find resonance.
"It seems that we all have an eye for beauty. Zhang Wei said with a smile, his gaze lingering on Wang Fang's painting for a moment, and then unconsciously turned to Li Ting, as if seeking her approval.
Li Ting smiled and nodded, but her heart was a little complicated. She noticed Zhang Wei's attention to Wang Fang, and at the same time felt his inadvertent scrutiny of herself. As a best friend, she naturally hopes that Wang Fang can find happiness, but as a friend, she also doesn't want Zhang Wei to feel uncomfortable.
Wang Qiang interjected occasionally as a bystander, and his words revealed his concern for his sister, but also humor, adding a bit of a relaxed atmosphere to the conversation.
"By the way, Zhang Wei, do you usually like to do any sports?" Wang Qiang asked suddenly, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I prefer swimming and fitness, and it is very important to maintain good health." ”
"Oh, too, it seems that we have a common hobby. Wang Qiang said, the corners of his mouth hooked up a friendly smile.
Li Ting felt the subtle atmosphere between the two men, she coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, Brother Wang Qiang, do you have any new developments in your work recently?"
Wang Qiang smiled and shook his head: "It's still the same, busy but fulfilling every day." However, I am more concerned about Fang's happiness. ”
When Wang Fang heard her brother's words, a warm current surged in her heart, she knew that her brother had always supported her, which also made her have more expectations for Zhang Wei.
As time passed, the content of the conversation between the four gradually shifted from work and hobbies to outlook on life and family. Zhang Wei showed his maturity and stability in his speech, which made Wang Fang's favor for him gradually increase. However, whenever Zhang Wei's gaze inadvertently met Li Ting, she could always feel a trace of hesitation and exploration in his eyes.
As a bystander, Li Ting's heart is also experiencing subtle changes. She began to think about her true feelings about Zhang Wei, and at the same time, she was also thinking about how to better support Wang Fang.
In the corner of the teahouse, the story of the four people is quietly developing, and everyone has their own small theater in their hearts. Zhang Wei's uneasiness, Wang Fang's expectation, Li Ting's reflections, and Wang Qiang's concern are all intertwined to form a warm and subtle picture.
Li Ting gently stirred the tea leaves in the cup, her eyes wandering between Zhang Wei and Wang Fang. She could sense Zhang Wei's affection for Wang Fang, but at the same time, she noticed his subtle reaction to herself. Wang Fang looked a little shy, but under Zhang Wei's guidance, she gradually relaxed the conversation.
"Miss Wang, I heard that you like painting, that's really a beautiful thing. Zhang Wei said, his voice gentle and sincere.
Wang Fang smiled and responded: "Yes, painting makes me feel calm and happy. Do you have any hobbies, Zhang Wei?"
"I like to swim and occasionally go to photography to capture the best moments in life. Zhang Wei replied, his gaze unconsciously turning to Li Ting, as if seeking her approval.
Li Ting nodded and said encouragingly: "Zhang Wei's photography skills are really great, he can always find beauty that others have overlooked." ”
Wang Qiang observed quietly from the side, his eyes revealed a hint of playfulness, but at the same time, he also cared about his sister. He suddenly asked, "Zhang Wei, do you usually like to read?"
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this question: "I do like to read, especially history and biography books. ”
"Oh, what a coincidence, I was also reading a book about history recently. Wang Qiang said, then turned to Wang Fang, "Fang, do you remember that book "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers"? I think Zhang Wei might be interested in it. ”
Wang Fang nodded: "Yes, that book is very profound and worth reading." ”
Li Ting sensed Wang Qiang's intentions, and he seemed to be trying to find more common ground for Zhang Wei and Wang Fang. She added with a smile: "Books are the ladder of human progress, and good books always inspire people. ”
As the topic deepened, the communication between the four became more natural. Zhang Wei began to pay more attention to Wang Fang, and he expressed sincere appreciation for her interest and insights. Wang Fang also gradually showed her charm, and her wisdom and humor surprised Zhang Wei.
However, Li Ting's heart is becoming more and more complicated. She was both happy for Wang Fang, but also worried that Zhang Wei's attention to her might affect the outcome of the blind date. From time to time, she tries to make everyone feel comfortable with light-hearted topics and humorous words.
Time passed quietly in the teahouse, and the conversation between the four was full of laughter. Although Zhang Wei has an unknown struggle in his heart, under Li Ting's skillful guidance, the atmosphere of the blind date is still warm and pleasant.
As the blind date deepened, Zhang Wei's mood became more and more complicated. He realized that he had a good impression of Wang Fang, but at the same time, he couldn't ignore Li Ting's existence. Wang Fang's gentleness and Li Ting's liveliness formed a stark contrast in his heart. Wang Qiang always maintained his brother's demeanor, his gaze wandered between Zhang Wei and Wang Fang, as if he was looking for something.
The lights of the teahouse gradually softened, and the conversation between the four of them gradually came to an end. Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and he knew he had to make a choice. He turned to Wang Fang, his eyes full of sincerity: "Miss Wang, it's my honor to meet you today." I am deeply impressed by your love for art and your attitude towards life. ”
A smile appeared on Wang Fang's face, and she felt Zhang Wei's sincerity: "Zhang Wei, I'm also very happy to meet you." Your gentleness and insight reassure me. ”
Li Ting listened quietly on the side, and there was an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart. She knew that as a best friend, she should be happy for Wang Fang, but deep down, she couldn't let go of her attention to Zhang Wei.
Wang Qiang looked at his sister and then at Li Ting, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He whispered, "It's getting late, it's time for us to go." Zhang Wei, thank you for your hospitality today, and I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future. ”
The four of them stood up and prepared to leave the teahouse. Zhang Wei's gaze stayed on Li Ting for a moment, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just smiled and nodded.
Walking out of the teahouse, the night breeze carries a hint of coolness. Wang Fang and Zhang Wei walked in front, and Li Ting and Wang Qiang followed. Li Ting's heart was full of complicated emotions, she looked at Wang Qiang beside her, but found that he was looking at her with a deep gaze.
"Li Ting, what do you think of Zhang Wei?" Wang Qiang asked suddenly, with a hint of inquiry in his voice.
Li Ting was stunned, she didn't expect Wang Qiang to ask this question. She thought for a moment, and then replied seriously: "He is a good person, and he is also very sincere to Wang Fang. ”
Wang Qiang nodded, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes: "Yes, he is indeed very good." But Li Ting, have you ever thought that maybe you deserve someone better. ”
Li Ting's heart jumped suddenly, she looked up at Wang Qiang, but found that his eyes were full of deep meaning. An inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart, but it was quickly suppressed by her again.
The four said goodbye at the door of the teahouse, Zhang Wei and Wang Fang agreed to meet next time, while Li Ting and Wang Qiang left separately. The night breeze blew and took away their figures, but it couldn't take away the subtle emotions in their hearts.
