Chapter 19: A Narrow Encounter
Yi Xinong hasn't seen Zhao Silei for a week, although he receives his WeChat message on time at half past ten every night.
Sometimes it is to ask her to dress more in a cold weather, sometimes to drink more water in a dry day, sometimes to share some of what she has seen in the hospital, sometimes to discuss the degree of progress of the paper, but more often it is concerned about her school affairs, whether the student who is often mischievous has caused her trouble today, and the PPT of the next competition class does not need to be revised by him.
Normally, Yi Xinong would chat with Zhao Silei for half an hour.
Half an hour, no more, no less.
Too much, she felt sorry for him, too little, and felt mean and unkind.
And as keen as Zhao Silei, how can he not easily capture the changes of Yi Xinnong, when the clock faithfully points to 11 o'clock, he will let her wash up with interest and decency, and gently ask her to go to bed before half past eleven.
He thought she knew, after all, he had already confessed to her once.
Yi Xinnong said that she needed time to think about it again, so he would give her time, after all, he had also made her wait in the wordless years.
Now the waiting is the right to repay the year.
The years have always been fair.
When Yi Xinnong went downstairs and walked to the school gate, the telescopic door of the gate was completely closed.
She walked to the door of the guard room next to her, and saw Master Ping, a security guard sitting inside, blowing on a glass full of tea leaves.
Yi Xinnong waited for him to finish the sip he had sucked into his mouth before he raised his hand and gently slammed the glass door of the security room.
Master Ping looked up when he heard the sound and saw that it was Yi Xinong, so he smiled at her kindly, then groped in his pocket, took out the telescopic door remote control from the inside, pressed it on the outside, only heard a click, and the sliding door opened a small crack.
Before the gap could get bigger again, Yi Xinnong walked sideways through the gap, and then turned his head and waved his hand mischievously to Master Ping, signaling that he could close the door.
Master Ping had a funny expression on this little girl, looking like she was blaming, but she still smiled and waved her hand to Yi Xinong, asking her to pay attention to safety on the road.
Yi Xinnong gathered the gray-blue scarf hanging from his neck, looked at the door, and saw a person standing next to the large round flower bed at the school gate waving to him.
It's Zhao Silei.
"Have you been here for a long time?" Yi Xinnong walked over and saw that the tip of the other party's nose was red.
Zhao Silei handed her a cup of milk tea, "It's just here, your three points of sugar." ”
Yi Xinnong took the milk tea, the milk tea was warm, the warm feeling spread from the palm of her hand, and she was in a slightly complicated mood.
Three points of sugar is the highest sweetness she can accept when drinking milk tea, and he really remembers everything.
Seeing that Yi Xinong was thoughtful, Zhao Silei was a little puzzled, "What's the matter, Xiao Nong." ”
"Ah, it's nothing", Yi Xinong immediately collected his emotions, looked up and smiled lightly, thinking, I promised him today, and then stepped forward and asked in a brisk tone, "What are we going to eat?"
Zhao Silei was rarely interested in seeing Yi Xinnong, and he also sold Guanzi, "You'll know in a while"
The car was parked in the underground garage of Jinghan Building.
Jinghan Building is a landmark building in City A, which integrates entertainment, catering and hotel. In particular, the open-air restaurant on the top floor is a must-see place to come to City A, sitting on the terrace and looking out, the whole City A has a panoramic view.
Walking to the elevator entrance, Yi Xinnong sorted out his appearance from the golden reflective glass of the elevator, he accidentally fell asleep just now, and his hair was messy.
Only then did I notice the little log of the elevator, "Why did you get here?"
"What's the matter, can't I treat my junior sister to a good meal?" Zhao Silei rarely showed a relaxed and smug smile.
The elevator opened at this time, Zhao Silei pressed the button, turned sideways, bent over ninety degrees, and made a very Japanese posture of please.
Yi Xinong giggled, she really hadn't seen Zhao Silei like this, there was a special freshness.
"I think the small restaurant we usually go to is very good, it tastes good, it is warm, and the fireworks in the world are very real. ”
"It's true today, too. ”
The two of them were talking in the elevator, and somehow, Yi Xinong felt that today's atmosphere was very good, relaxed and pleasant, which was not the same as usual.
In the past, Yi Xinong and Zhao Silei got along together, although the atmosphere was gentle and calm, but she was still inexplicably cramped and couldn't let go, she always felt that there was a kind of politeness that was difficult to capture between the two.
Her personality background is actually cheerful and funny, but the precipitation of the years has made her quiet and cautious.
When I met Zhao Silei, she entered his field of vision as a rigorous and quiet student with good academic performance, and for so many years, she also felt that maintaining excellence and quietness was the most correct attitude, and she was worthy of his favor from the other side, after all, he has always been so powerful.
And Zhao Silei has always been simple, his concern has always come from the minutiae of life, the two of them occasionally eat, and they all choose cheap restaurants with good local reputation and in line with her taste, and the gifts she usually gives during the holidays are also some super practical objects that she can completely use at hand but do not have.
He didn't like the bells and whistles to show off his wealth and knowledge, and he didn't like to give her flashy things. I remember the last time I came to Jinghan for dinner, it was to celebrate the official signing of the contract between her and Zhengyi.
His presence is like a glass of soda, bubbling with crisp and mild bubbles, slightly sweet and reassuringly clean.
Yi Xin smiled thickly, and carefully looked at the handsome and clean boy standing beside him from the huge reflector in the elevator, exuding an ascetic and pedantic temperament, as well as himself with a slender figure and a somewhat crimson complexion.
Hmmm... Very good.
The elevator opened at this time, and when I looked up, I found that the 52nd floor had arrived, and 52 plus the "bell" of opening the door, made it a holy place for many ambiguous objects to determine the relationship.
The graceful romance from the East is not just a sentence of "the moonlight is so good tonight".
The restaurant is lit up with stars and candles behind goblets, Italian opera girls are singing, and the sweet smell of red wine in the air makes everything even more ambiguous.
Yi Xinong stepped out of the elevator, and fell into the soft carpet with one foot, she was obviously unprepared, the stiletto heel lightly slammed, Zhao Silei took a step forward from behind and slightly hugged her waist, she turned her head sideways, but the other party didn't look at her, she didn't make a sound, just followed the strength of his hold, and walked in naturally.
The waiter walked over with a smile on his face and asked politely, "Have you predetermined your position?"
Zhao Silei's left hand was still lying on Yi Xinong's waist, and his right hand took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, and showed the reservation number smoothly.
The waiter took the phone and said, "Wait a minute, you two." Then he turned his head and walked to the service desk to confirm.
The two men stood still and waited quietly.
Yi Xinnong felt that the position of her waist being held by Zhao Silei was a little sore, and from the beginning, the muscle she was unconsciously lifting was already tight and sour at this time.
This is very similar to going to get vaccinated when she was a child, when she waited for the nurse's sister to squeeze the bubbles in the syringe clean, she would unconsciously tighten her muscles, at this time the nurse would rub her alcohol and tell her softly that the muscles were relaxed, and she didn't understand what the word "relaxed" meant when she was very young, until she grew up and understood, only to find that relaxing would indeed reduce pain.
This kind of muscle tension caused by the proximity of others is called "taking advantage of the strength" in her dialect, which means that she does not dare to give her complete self to others, but always secretly tries her best to make herself appear more decent, which is the same as sitting on the lap of an adult when she was a child, and she was afraid of completely letting the adult bear the weight, and carefully put her toes on the ground.
She secretly persuaded herself to relax, to relax.
At this time, the waiter had already walked over, he walked to the front, hunched his back sideways, and looked like a recommender, "Two, this way." ”
It is the location by the window, the location that Yi Xinnong likes.
Since middle school, unless the teacher has made arrangements, every time she chooses a seat, she will choose a position by the window, watching the willow buds rise in spring, watching the sunset burn half the sky in summer, watching the fallen leaves swirling in the wind in autumn, and enjoying the snow-capped eyes in winter.
Now, it's still a window position.
Zhao Silei pulled the chair back for her.
She sat down elegantly, took off the scarf, and put it on the back of the chair, Zhao Silei handed her the menu, and she waved her hand and said you will choose.
Zhao Silei was respectful and obedient, and looked down at the menu seriously.
After being speechless for a while, Yi Xinnong curiously raised his hand and opened a thin slit in the glass window.
The cold and moist air of Jiangnan in winter was like a thin snake swimming in, and she licked her warm cheeks, and she was excited.
At this moment, a clear female voice exploded above her head, "Hello?"
Yi Xinnong was a little puzzled, she turned her head to look up, only to see a woman with exquisite makeup standing next to her and looking sideways at her.
"Hello, is it Yi Xinnong?"
The woman has fair skin, chestnut curls hanging down her chest, a black modified cheongsam fully expresses the slender figure, and long golden earrings sway beside the collarbone, shining in the faint candlelight of the hotel.
Yi Xinnong felt that there was a hint of familiarity, but there was still a trace of doubt, just like a machine, nodded.
"Don't you know me? ”
Yi Xinnong was stunned, only to feel that her heart was thundering, Qian Wan? Is that Qian Wan?
Qian Wan looked at the stunned Yi Xinong and smiled, she opened her hands enthusiastically and said, "Old classmates meet, don't you hug it?"
Yi Xinnong was a little stunned, but she still stood up, she was a little embarrassed, but then she was stopped by Qian Wan's eager hug.
Yi Xinnong was overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm, she raised her hand, gently hugged Qian Wan, and asked, "You came back from abroad?", but as far as her eyes could see, she saw a long figure not far away.
"yes, it's been a while since I've been back, and I've been back with Warbridge. ”
"Well, you're welcome. ”
"Thank you. Qian Wan let go of Yi Xinong, her eyes fell on Zhao Silei, and then she looked at Yi Xinnong, and said in a mysterious tone, "Wow, boyfriend?
Yi Xinong was a little embarrassed, and didn't wait for her to speak.
Qian Wan was unhurried, and said behind her, "Zhanqiao, come over quickly, Xinnong introduces her boyfriend to us." ”
