Seeing the father and daughter walking out of the restaurant holding hands, Liu Chen felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, and this warm scene touched the family affection he longed for most in his heart.

Zhao Mengran looked at Liu Chen, who was motionless, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Hey, hey, don't be so obvious when you peek at a beautiful woman, right?"

Liu Chen came back to his senses and saw Zhao Mengran, whose face was a little ugly, shook his head and pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm sorry, I just feel a special feeling, as if I've seen it somewhere." ”

Zhao Mengran didn't buy this reluctant explanation, but it was not easy to speak, so he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone and pressed the keyboard blindly.

Liu Chen thought to himself, this female reporter has a very big temper, and she invited her to dinner and put on a face, isn't it just to look at a beautiful woman, and you don't need such a big opinion, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend. But he only thought about it in his heart, if he really said it, the meal would be yellow. And I came to invite her to dinner this time, firstly, to thank her, and secondly, I wanted to ask if there was any progress in the matter of asking her.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Liu Chen came up with a topic in his mind: "Reporter Zhao, your external conditions are so good, why do you want to be a newspaper reporter instead of a TV reporter, the kind that appears on camera, if there is a beautiful reporter like you, the ratings will definitely skyrocket." ”

Liu Chen praised Zhao Mengran intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't show too much excitement, but just said lightly: "There is a chance at the beginning of next year, let's try it again then, but I don't have much hope." ”

From her words, it can be heard that she still hopes that she can work in the TV station, it seems that she has tried unsuccessfully before, it seems that working in this kind of high-end public institution is not just a good face with a mouth, the water inside is deep.

Seeing that Zhao Mengran didn't want to mention more, Liu Chen didn't continue to expand on this topic. At this time, the waiter came up with a steak drink, and the two immediately returned to their previous state, commenting on the dishes while eating.

Two beautiful MM walked in at the door, and under the guidance of the waiter, they sat down in a private seat by the window, chatting with a smile while ordering and chatting about the interesting things they heard in school today, and suddenly one of the beautiful women looked as if they were pulled by something, and she didn't even hear her companion shouting her to order.

"What's wrong, Xiaofei?" Guo Yingying turned her head along Li Rongfei's gaze, not far away, a couple was flirting and laughing, this man's back was a little familiar but couldn't remember.

Li Rongfei lowered her eyes, sighed softly, stood up and shook her clothes and pants, and said, "Yingying, I suddenly remembered that I can't eat steak recently, let's go to the KFC at the door." ”

Without waiting for Guo Yingying's consent, Li Rongfei picked up the bag and left, Guo Yingying behind her looked dazed, pulled the bag on the card seat and followed.

The two came to KFC at the door of the restaurant and bought a family bucket, and Li Rongfei chose a seat in the restaurant across the street by the window and sat down. This seat happened to be able to see the western restaurant across the street, and Li Rongfei's eyes glanced at the door of the restaurant from time to time.

Guo Yingying picked up a chicken leg and nibbled on it, and handed a chicken wing to Li Rongfei, but she didn't seem to see it, Guo Yingying's hand holding the chicken wing hung in the air for a long time.

"Xiaofei, you're so weird today, you feel like those stalking agents in the TV series. ”

Li Rongfei reacted and hurriedly took Guo Yingying's chicken wings: "Eh, I'm a weak woman who looks like an agent." ”

Guo Yingying had already finished nibbling on a chicken leg, took a sip of Coke, put down the bone, wiped her mouth and said, "Look at the steakhouse across the street, as if you are looking for someone, didn't we just come out of there." ”

"It's a good view. Li Rongfei retracted her gaze and concentrated on eating KFC, she was afraid that she would embarrass herself if she continued to talk about it. In the face of Li Rongfei's answer, Guo Yingying no longer asked, she was a little strange today, she has been so nervous.

Liu Chen couldn't draw the steak well with a knife and fork for a long time, and directly asked the waiter to bring a pair of chopsticks to pick it up and bite and eat, the medium-rare steak was still a little difficult to bite, and a large piece of beef was stuffed in his mouth and chewed rhythmically.

Zhao Mengran's movements were much more skilled than Liu Chen's, and his dexterous fingers gently scratched the position on the steak a few times, and then pulled it out a few times, and a few regular steaks were displayed in front of him.

Seeing Liu Chen's appearance, Zhao Mengran pushed his cut steak in front of him: "You eat me, I'll cut it." He took Liu Chen's bowl with his hand.

Liu Chen didn't think too much about it, nodded and let Zhao Mengran exchange the steaks between the two.

"By the way, how is the matter I asked you?"

Zhao Mengran cut the steak, put down the knife and fork and wiped his hands: "It's a bit eyebrow-raising, there were more than 30 people who were found in the newspaper twenty-eight years ago, and now they are still checking their addresses and contact information. ”

Hearing this news, Liu Chen's heart that had been hanging on his heart also fell slightly, thinking that in the near future, he would be able to see his biological parents and see the truth of his life experience, which made Liu Chen, who had been adrift for more than ten years, unable to calm down for a long time, but would they recognize me? Liu Chen didn't know.

"Thank you, Reporter Zhao. ”

Being able to help Liu Chen fulfill his wish, Zhao Mengran was also very excited, she didn't ask for Liu Chen's thanks, she just wanted Liu Chen to know that she was a girl who could help him share.

"The two of us have been in contact so many times, and it's too obvious for you to call me Reporter Zhao, so call me Xiao Ran in the future, it sounds kind. "Zhao Mengran, these little Jiujiu can still be realized in such a reasonable way, Liu Chen doesn't even have a reason to refuse, just like the last phone number.

"Well, I can call you whatever you want. Liu Chen wiped his mouth with a tissue, and didn't think about the matter of calling it too complicated, but Zhao Mengran regarded this as a further manifestation of the relationship between the two.

Li Rongfei and Guo Yingying finished eating KFC and came out of the store, the temperature rose a little today, and they didn't feel cold or windy, Guo Yingying proposed to go to the square in front of them for a walk, and by the way, go to the mall to see what nice clothes there are. Li Rongfei glanced at the western restaurant opposite and thought, it should have already left. She followed Guo Yingying to the square. This square is at the end of the food court, and people usually walk around the square after eating and digest it.

On the square, a family of three is playing with children, a young couple is picking in front of an old man who is dragging a bicycle and selling rock sugar gourds, and several green dragons and white tigers with a killer hairstyle get together to smoke, and from time to time tease the Bo Mei next to them.

Li Rongfei was looking at the bustling crowd in a daze, and Guo Yingying on the side shouted: "Xiaofei, isn't that your friend? ”

Li Rongfei turned her head and found that Guo Yingying had already walked towards Liu Chen and the woman, but she couldn't take a step, and stopped there to watch Guo Yingying walk alone.

"Hi!" Guo Yingying walked behind Liu Chen and greeted him.

Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran turned around almost at the same time and saw Guo Yingying with a smile on her face.

"Do you know?" Zhao Mengran glanced at the young beauty and looked at Liu Chen suspiciously, but Liu Chen did not show any surprised expression.

"It's you, by the way, let me introduce, this is reporter Zhao of the Jiangxia Evening News, and this is my friend, the teacher of the Jiangxia Middle School. ”

"Hello, hello!" the two shook hands with each other. Putting down her hand, Guo Yingying suddenly appeared in her mind the familiar figure she had seen in the steak restaurant before, and thought of Li Rongfei's abnormal performance today, this time she had been standing far away and refused to come, Guo Yingying suddenly realized.

She asked tentatively, "Are you two dating?"

Liu Chen just wanted to deny it, but Zhao Mengran replied: "Yes." ”

Speaking naturally, Zhao Mengran seemed to enjoy the feeling of "occupying" Liu Chen in front of Liu Chen's friends, and a proud posture made Guo Yingying very uncomfortable.

"Guo Yingying, don't get me wrong, we are just an ordinary meeting for a meal, not the kind of date between couples, reporter Zhao, your words are easy to misunderstand. Liu Chen explained.

Zhao Mengran was anxious when she heard this, "Didn't you just promise me to call me Xiaoran? You don't want to do it so soon? What is your relationship with her, and you are so anxious to explain to yourself?"

Zhao Mengran's words not only shocked Guo Yingying, but even Liu Chen grew his mouth in surprise, his heart was unprepared, and he never thought that Zhao Mengran would say such a thing at this time, even if the relationship between the two is good, they have only met more than five times.

And Li Rongfei, who was standing alone in the distance, was already flushed at this time, and her eyes were already slightly red.

"Hehe, you guys go on dating, don't bother. Guo Yingying turned around and was about to leave.

Liu Chen was also anxious, he didn't care about Guo Yingying's misunderstanding of him, but about Li Rongfei, who was Guo Yingying's best friend, about his misunderstanding, he called Guo Yingying: "Wait a minute, it's not like this, I'm just ordinary friends with her, I hope you don't misunderstand." ”

"I don't care what the relationship between the two of you is, I feel worthless for Xiaofei, I can't help but talk about you every day, and I say what Christmas gift I want to prepare for you, hehe, you're good, romantic date with other female reporters. Guo Yingying accused indignantly. When I looked up and saw Li Rongfei, she stood not far away, "Xiaofei, have you seen it all?"

Liu Chen followed the prestige, and Li Rongfei stood there alone, letting the wind blow the ends of her hair and blurring her delicate face. Liu Chen's whole body froze, he didn't expect Li Rongfei to be here, and everything that had just happened was seen by her, it's over, how to explain it???

Zhao Mengran was also confused by the direction of the development of this matter, how could there be another woman, how many women does this Liu Chen have to do with? But she can see from the words and deeds of these people that Liu Chen has an unusual relationship with this girl named Xiaofei.

Li Rongfei didn't say a word, glanced at Liu Chen in disappointment, and turned around angrily. Liu Chen couldn't care about Zhao Mengran's emotions anymore, and chased in the direction of Li Rongfei, that kind of firmness and determination, not like pretending, Guo Yingying stopped and watched their figures pass through the crowd.

Li Rongfei lowered her head and ran with all her strength, running as far as possible, running to a place where no one was and crying. Liu Chen chased after him, shouting, seeing Li Rongfei's trembling back, his heart was about to break, it seemed that this time it really hurt her heart.

"Xiaofei, can you listen to me?"

This is the first time Liu Chen and Li Rongfei have known her, Li Rongfei seemed to feel something, her footsteps stopped, but she didn't want to be mixed with the stones under her feet, and staggered towards the front, at this time, a car pressed the horn in a hurry, the speed was very fast, the strong high beams made Li Rongfei unable to open her eyes, and the car Ma Shan was about to hit her, at this critical moment, Liu Chen pounced on her with all his strength, and at the moment when the car hit her, Liu Chen knocked down Li Rongfei. One rolled forward, and both of them fell to the ground, Li Rongfei was shocked into a cold sweat, her hands and face were full of sand and slag, and she was extremely embarrassed.

The two gasped heavily, Li Rongfei reacted, and angrily broke free of Liu Chen's arm, wanting to stand, but his foot seemed to be twisted, and a sharp pain hit his ankle.

"Ahh Liu Chen didn't care about his bleeding palm, and checked Li Rongfei's injuries.

At this time, the driver of the car stopped in front of him and rushed towards this direction in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, it's my car that's driving too fast, how about the two of you, I'll take you to the hospital." The driver said as he checked their injuries.

Liu Chen waved his hand to the driver, "I'm fine, her skin is injured, her foot is twisted, send her to the hospital to see." Saying that, Liu Chen stood up, he and the driver helped Li Rongfei up carefully, got into the driver's car, and was about to close the door, Li Rongfei whispered: "You can go with you." ”

The driver said on the side: "Yes, brother, you'd better go to the hospital together, it's okay, I will pay all the medical expenses." ”

Liu Chen heard it, it turned out that this brother saw that I was dressed ordinarily, and thought that I was afraid of spending money so I refused to go to the hospital for examination, he smiled and got into the car next to Li Rongfei.

Seeing that the two were not seriously injured and their mental state was fine, the driver chatted with them all the way, in fact, he was mainly chatting with Liu Chen, Li Rongfei turned his head out of the car window and ignored them.

The driver took out a cigarette and gave it to Liu Chen: "Brother, you were so brave in that scene just now, you jumped up directly to this beauty, I was already scared in the car at that time, if it weren't for you, I would have been in a big disaster." By the way, what do you call a brother?"

Liu Chen glanced at Li Rongfei on the side, put the cigarette on his ear and didn't light it, "My name is Liu Chen." ”
