Chapter 14: The Palette

This year's summer was extremely hot, and Yu Pan'an just stopped on the side of the road after getting out of the taxi, and she was already sweating faintly.

However, sweating may not only be due to heat, but also to nervousness.

Yu Panan stood at the door of the restaurant and corrected the name of the restaurant and the address on his mobile phone, confirming that it was correct here. She took a deep breath and was about to push the door open when a black private car pulled up beside her. She hadn't seen the car, but perhaps it was a hunch that her hand that was about to open the door of the restaurant froze, and the man stood still.

Not long after, the owner of the car opened the door and got out of the car, and sure enough, it was a face she was all too familiar with. Seeing that she was about to meet her gaze, she felt that she was not mentally prepared, so she quickly turned around, her back to him, and her heart was beating like thunder.

Ji Zhiheng, who got out of the car, had already walked behind her at this time, and shouted tentatively, "Yu Pan'an?"

Yu Pan'an felt that the sweat on his back was fine and dense.

She turned around with a adjusted smile and said to him, "Hey, long time no see." ”

Ji Zhiheng in front of him smiled, "Sure enough, it's you." You've grown taller, and I can't recognize you just now when I look at your back. ”

Yu Panan didn't feel that he had grown taller. She complained in her heart about his slightly embarrassing opening remarks, and casually greeted him with his attitude.

Then, Ji Zhiheng pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked in, and Yu Panan followed him into the house.

The air conditioner in the restaurant was turned on very loudly, and it suddenly blew away the heat that had just accumulated, and it seemed that even the anxiety in Yu Panan's head was blown away. She followed Ji Zhiheng's footsteps to the reserved position, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be nervous about, wasn't it just a meal with her old classmates.

- although this is the person she once liked.

- Although...... This is obviously a blind date dressed in nostalgia.

Yu Panan's father Yu Zaidao is a well-known tycoon in the business district of S City, and Ji Zhiheng's mother Wei Ting is almost the same as his status. Recently, the two of them reached a business cooperation for a short period of time, and when Wei Ting heard that Yu Zaidao had a daughter Yu Pan'an who was the same age as her son, she immediately asked them to meet. The two chatted again along this topic, and were pleasantly surprised to find that Ji Zhiheng and Yu Panan still graduated from the same high school, and Wei Ting immediately said: It is indeed necessary to let the two children catch up.

But the fact is that the old ones still hope to make this cooperation more solid through the relationship between the two children, and everyone knows it very well.

You must know that Yu Pan'an usually hates his father the most for mixing his life's events with business matters, and for this time she obediently went to meet people for the first time, Yu Zaidao kept praising her for a long time. said that she grew up and knew that she would take care of the overall situation. The insider on the side sighed twice, saying that he had already seen through everything. But under the threat of his sister, he still chose to shut up.

- Just keep Dad in the dark. It's a misunderstanding, but it's at least a beautiful misunderstanding.

Back at this point, Yu Pan'an's gaze drifted a little uncomfortably for a while, and finally chose to land on the table. Looking up a little further, she suddenly noticed that Ji Zhiheng had a leather band on his left wrist to tie his hair, and her heart suddenly cooled by half.

As if noticing her scrutiny, Ji Zhiheng raised his left hand and said, "I have a little long hair now, and I usually take this with me, and tie it when it's hot." Looks weird, doesn't it?"

"Oh, no, no, no, not weird. Yu Pan'an breathed a sigh of relief.

She did notice that Ji Zhiheng's hair had grown, but her first reaction when she saw the rubber band was afraid that he would have a girlfriend.

She took a sip of water.

The waiter brought up the dishes they ordered one after another, which eased the originally awkward atmosphere a lot. Yu Pan'an lowered her head and concentrated on eating, until Ji Zhiheng suddenly called out to her, and she didn't raise her head when she was poking at the dessert. Before she could ask what was wrong, he said, "You should know why they arranged for us to meet today." ”

His tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion, so Yu Pan'an couldn't tell for a while whether he hated this kind of thing or planned to obey the family's arrangement. So she chose to play dumb. "Ah, my dad said it was for me to catch up with you. ”

But Ji Zhiheng didn't seem to want to go around in circles, "But my mother told me that she wanted me and you to develop deeply." ”

I didn't expect him to be so straightforward, Yu Pan'an blushed a little all of a sudden, and quickly lowered his head and continued to poke the dessert to cover himself. However, her face was red for a few seconds, and Ji Zhiheng's next words undoubtedly poured cold water on her head.

"So I think we're going to make it clear if there's anything we have to say." My mom and your dad mean that's what they mean, and we should have our own opinions. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Actually, I already had a girlfriend, but my mom didn't like her and didn't approve of us being together. But I'm such a big person, who I'm with, I can decide for myself. He paused, then added, "I'm sorry, I know it's rude, but I want to say that I have no plans to change girlfriends." I'm coming today, but my mother insisted that I come. Of course, I don't think you came voluntarily. ”

β€œ......”

Yu Pan'an didn't hold the fork in her hand steadily, causing the fork to slash heavily on the dinner plate, making a sound similar to a fingernail scraping a blackboard, and her own hairs stood on end. She smiled apologetically at the tables around her, then took her gaze back and looked at Ji Zhiheng again.

If there is no loss, it is certainly unrealistic. But to say that it is very sad, it is not so much. After all, in the four years of college, there seems to be no Ji Zhiheng in her world, so she is not living well. Ji Zhiheng is a person for her, if there is, it is naturally the icing on the cake, if not, then there is none.

Now that everyone has expressed their position, there is no need to force it.

After being happily cut off, Yu Pan'an's only little nervousness disappeared without a trace. When she spoke again, she had already changed to the tone she had spoken to her old friend.

"Did you and your girlfriend meet abroad?"

"Hmm. ”

"She's a foreigner?"

"No, her name is Geng Yao, and she is also a student in our country, and she went to the same university as me at the time. ”

"Oh......" she poked at the dessert againβ€”the dessert had already been poked a little undecoratively, but it didn't matter, she didn't have much appetite anyway. While poking, she thought - I just asked, why did you tell me everything.

She simply asked again, "So, why doesn't Aunt Wei agree to you being together?"

"My mother may not like that kind of girl with personality, Geng Miao has more personality. ”

knew that he shouldn't have insinuations, but Yu Panan couldn't help muttering in his heart: Aunt Wei likes me, isn't it that I have no personality.

Ji Zhiheng said, "Moreover, my mother may have always hoped that I could find a girl with a better family background, and she thinks that girls with a good family background will also have more tutors." Speaking of this, he smiled helplessly, "Geng Yao's family background is not good, so my mother doesn't like it even more." ”

Yu Pan'an nodded, knowing in his heart.

- Isn't it Cinderella and the vicious stepmother...... No, it's the story of Cinderella and the vicious mother-in-law. What about her? She is a prospective daughter-in-law favored by a vicious mother-in-law, hasn't she become a vicious second daughter?
