Chapter Thirty-Seven: The White Rabbit Is White and White
Out of the supermarket, Yao Zhixia quietly loosened Xue Rin's sleeves and pulled away from him crampedly.
Xue Rin was a little annoyed, so he quickened his pace and angrily made Yao Zhixia have a hard time following him.
Not understanding Xue Rin's intention when he suddenly walked to the front alone, Yao Zhixia had to trot a few steps to catch up, but was hit directly on his back by one of his sudden brakes.
"Why are you walking so carelessly?"
Looking at Yao Zhixia's embarrassed appearance, Xue Rin was proud, but pretended to be innocent.
Yao Zhixia rubbed his aching forehead and asked suspiciously, "Aren't we going to talk about things?
"Where else to go, of course, is to find a quiet place, there are so many people in this mall, it's too noisy. ”
"There's a café over there, can I go there?"
Xue Rin thought in his heart, where did he come from to talk to her about his private affairs? The time for a coffee is too short, pass!
"That's not good, I'm not a star and I'll never go, I know there's a good place, go!"
Xue Rin took Yao Zhixia's back and walked in the direction of the parking lot, on the surface, he was a flower messenger in the crowd, and the actual purpose was only known to him.
"Aren't we going to finish here?" Yao Zhixia asked Xue Rin, who was almost holding her.
"I can't finish talking, it's a long talk!" Xue Rin showed a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth, and then took Yao Zhixia through the sea of people and walked forward.
----
Liu Piaopiao held the daisy and leisurely looked around in the crowd, and a little couple hiding in the corner to kiss me and me attracted her attention.
They looked like teenagers, the girl was wearing a pair of school uniform pants, and the boy was shyly holding the girl's hand and whispering a word or two in her ear from time to time, causing the girl to show a happy and shy expression.
"It's wonderful to be young!" Liu Piaopiao said to herself.
"There's not enough homework, right?" Gong Yan's slightly mocking voice suddenly came from behind him.
"In this world, the campus love when I was in school was the purest and free of impurities, right?"
"The most pitiful thing about campus love is that you are a little sheep, and you think that others are also little sheep, but you don't know that the other party is a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing. Gong Yan felt it.
"Who said that! You are psychologically dark!" Liu Piaopiao hates the race that slanders love the most.
"I'm dark, if I'm dark, you don't know how many times I've killed you! Every time I send you home, I sleep in the car. ”
If others commented on him like this, he would definitely laugh it off, but this person is the guy he is worried about, and he is cowardly behind his back and doesn't dare to make a move, but in front of her, the tall image must not be slandered!
"I ...... Hmph! Director Gong's great kindness, the little one is toothless and unforgettable, but the little one is busy going home from work now, so I won't bother you, and the little one will retire. ”
Liu Piaopiao didn't say a word, stuffed the bouquet of daisies in his hand into Gong Yan's hand, turned around and left.
But a powerful force suddenly grabbed her wrist, making her unable to move.
"Don't you want to repay your kindness?" Gong Yan raised his eyebrows and stared at the deer-like willows.
"I ......"
"What are you going to eat tonight?"
"I originally wanted to go to eat Hunan rice noodles with Sister Zhixia. ”
Gong Yan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, this guy is really frankly cute.
"Please let me eat. ”
"Huh?"
Looking at Liu Piaopiao's question mark face, Gong Yan sighed and said, "I don't ask you to return anything, just invite me to a meal." ”
"But, Sister Zhixia, she ......"
"Don't worry, she ate out tonight. ”
But she said ......"
"Oh, don't worry about it so much! Hurry up, hurry up, I'm hungry!" Gong Yan said, turned her body in a different direction, and gently pushed her away with his hand against the back of her neck.
"Go, go!"
Liu Piaopiao, who had a good taste, was still defeated by the temptation of food, and after thinking about it, it was important to eat rice noodles, so please invite him!
----
It was rush hour, Xue Rin's car stopped and went, the world outside the car was extremely noisy, but the two people in the car were speechless.
At the red light, Yao Zhixia looked out the window and happened to see a bus parked next to her that she usually took when she got off work, and she couldn't help but retract her gaze and wonder where she was now.
Noticing that the mood of the person next to him was a little low, Xue Rin became uneasy, and reached out to press the knob of the broadcast.
"Today is Valentine's Day!
The host's cheerful voice came from the other end of the airwaves, as if there was no single dog in this world, and everyone must have a companion.
Xue Rin snorted disdainfully and spun the button.
"Today is our Chinese Valentine's Day special program, I just heard from Zhang Xinzhe and Carina Lau sang "A Little Heart", I don't know if this song has evoked your good memories?
Xue Rin sneered, this radio station is deliberately against him!
But when he turned his head, he saw Yao Zhixia with a dilated look, she didn't move, as if she was listening.
"There is a lot of love, my heart hurts, how many times have I missed, this only promise is buried deep in my heart, but I can't open my mouth......"
At this time, Yao Zhixia's heart seemed to be dissected, and there was nowhere to hide, smelling the unique smell of Xue Rin's body, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of happiness, even if he didn't belong to her after all, it was enough.
----
The car stopped in the alleyway, Xue Rin turned off the fire, and was about to open the door and get out of the car, but was grabbed by Yao Zhixia by the corner of his clothes.
"Where is this? We, aren't we going to talk?" Yao Zhixia was a little nervous about the unfamiliar environment.
"This is the restaurant, I come often, we eat and talk, aren't you hungry?"
Xue Rin walked around the front of the car to Yao Zhixia's side, opened the door, and stretched out a hand to block the beam of the door.
"Come down, be careful. ”
Yao Zhixia really didn't get used to this strange gentleman's feeling, and whispered: "Thank you." ”
The moment Yao Zhixia got up and came out, Xue Rin smelled a natural and soft fragrance, he looked down curiously and sniffed Yao Zhixia's hair, and whispered, "What did you say?"
The heat coming from above her head made Yao Zhixia's face turn red, and a deep voice passed through her body like an electric current, and she quickly lowered her head shyly.
"Thank you. ”
"You're always thankful, when will you become more reasonable?"
With a "snap", Xue Rin closed the car door, "How about we make a bet tonight?" Xue Rin suddenly became playful.
"Bet?"
"Just bet on the word 'thank you', whoever says it, whoever loses, what? dare to bet?" Xue Rin was full of confidence, tonight's winner must be him.
"How to punish the loser?" Yao Zhixia didn't have that confidence in himself.
"You guy, don't ask what rewards the winners have, only care about how the losers are punished, it's too unmotivated!"
"I just want to know if I can afford it. ”
"The loser promises the winner to do one thing, provided that the other person can do it. Xue Rin smiled evilly.
"Well, if I can do it, I will fulfill the bet. ”
Seeing Xue Rin's excited appearance, Yao Zhixia's mood also relaxed.
The two were led by waiters into the backyard of the restaurant, where there were artificial pools under the walls on both sides, and dim spotlights shone in the clear water.
A few small red fish swam around, squeezing to the surface of the water with their mouths open from time to time, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but smile when she looked at the scene, Xue Rin looked at her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Mr. Xue, the Lotus Cloud Pavilion prepared for you tonight, two of you, please. The waitress leading the way in front turned back to show directions.
"Every time you come, you never see the foreman surnamed Liu, do you only work the night shift?" Xue Rin asked casually.
"Ah, me? Yes, Sister Liu has to pick up her children from school every day, so she usually works the morning shift. ”
The waitress was obviously stunned, although the Xue family was used to coming here for both family banquets and banquet guests, but Xue Rin had never had any communication with them before, and she was a little stunned when she suddenly asked about their lives this time.
"Oh, that's the case, you have to work and take care of your family, you women are really iron. Xue Rin said, and the appearance of Yao Zhixia holding a knife to kill chickens came to mind.
Yao Zhixia, who was following behind Xue Rin, heard their conversation and couldn't help but remember what he looked like when he first met Xue Rin.
At that time, his eyes were full of unapproachable indifference and fearlessness of the world, and she could even conclude that he must not remember that the reckless perpetrator of the wine was her.
But now, the same familiar back exudes a completely different temperature, and even the sharp sideburns have become much softer.
Entering the private room, the two sat opposite each other, and the waitress carefully poured the tea.
"Do you order separately or in unison?"
"Let me order it, what's the chef's special meal today?" Xue Rin took the initiative to speak.
"Our chef went to Italy last month to find inspiration, and when he came back, he launched a new Western dish, Italian tomato stewed rabbit meat, which can be ...... for two people."
"No way!"
"No way!"
The unanimity of the two startled the waitress, and then she changed her words: "We have other new dishes, you two can try the others." ”
"Then I'll still be the same, filet mignon for two, let the kitchen make it first, and I'll use the iPad to order the rest." ”
"No problem, Mr. Xue, you order first, I'll go and inform the kitchen, there is anything else that needs to ring the bell to call me." The waitress finished and left.
"Do you come often?" Yao Zhixia speculated.
"Yes, it's been almost ten years, and the environment is good, and the food is to my taste. Xue Rin said, pushing the teacup in front of Yao Zhixia's eyes.
"You taste, his tea is good. ”
"Thank you...... Well, good. ”
Xue Rin heard the loophole at the tip of his ear, "Hey, you can be careful! The gambling game has just begun." ”
Yao Zhixia shyly lowered her head and smiled, and then suddenly nervously rummaged through the canvas bag she carried for her phone.
But as soon as she pressed the call button, the phone was snatched away by Xue Rin.
"Don't worry about Liu Piaopiao, her dinner has already been settled. Xue Rin smiled and hung up the phone, but he didn't mean to return the phone for a long time.
Yao Zhixia was puzzled, "She...... Who's going to cook for her?"
"My buddy, Gong Yan, but I guess that kid shouldn't be able to cook, but he can definitely manage the meal!"
"Gong Yan, do you mean Director Gong of our mall's sales department?" Yao Zhixia was a little confused.
"Yes, it's him, my buddy, I grew up with him since I was a child, don't worry, it's no problem for him to have a hundred characters, Liu Piaopiao will definitely not suffer. ”
"Director Gong, are you with her now? I mean, they're together right now?" asked Yao Zhixia in surprise.
"That's right, Gong Yan should have taken her to dinner, that kid shouldn't have low EQ to the point of letting Liu Piaopiao treat her. ”
Xue Rin's tone was calm, as if Yao Zhixia was the only one in the world who didn't know about it, but in fact, even the person concerned, Liu Piaopiao, didn't know that he had fallen into a trap.
"Director Gong invited Piaopiao to dinner...... How do you know? I haven't seen you call just now?" Yao Zhixia always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say that something was wrong.
"Huh, I ...... I, I originally wanted to have dinner with Gong Yan today, but he told me that he was going to invite Liu Piaopiao to dinner, and I knew about it. ”
Xue Rin swallowed his saliva, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, buddy, I'm sorry, isn't a good buddy just for betrayal?
"Is Director Gong familiar with Piao Piao?"
Yao Zhixia thought about it, and suddenly had a new understanding of Liu Piaopiao's occasional daze and snickering in recent times.
"Oh, don't talk about them, whatever! Tell us. "Xue Rin's own affairs have not progressed here, so how can he worry about others.
"We?" Yao Zhixia was faintly nervous.
"Yao Zhixia, tell us about us, how about it?"
