CHAPTER IX

Lin Xiaojiao ordered a cup of cheapest 'American coffee', found a location with an outlet, put on headphones to block out the noisy food and voices around him, and planned to draw a picture of people here before the community called.

When you are serious about something, time always flies, and it is an afternoon in the blink of an eye.

When her shoulders and neck were sore, she rubbed her eyes and stretched her waist to look at the time, and found that it was already early five o'clock in the afternoon.

It should be a call, right?

Lin Xiaojiao called the property, but what she got was still the answer in the line repair, she could only stretch her waist and continue to be the nail of this coffee spot.

As for dinner, it's better to go home later and eat again, since he can hear the food talking, Lin Xiaojiao has also gained a new skill, that is, 'carrying hunger'.

As soon as she thought that the food would be screaming in her mouth, her stomach subconsciously contracted, and the nervousness of her brain's secretion beat her hunger to the core.

After a short rest, Lin Xiaojiao put herself into work again, and not long after, she felt her desktop shook, and a white mug appeared in the corner of her field of vision.

The waiter misplaced?

"I didn't order it. Lin Xiaojiao explained as she raised her head from the drawing tablet, but what suddenly appeared in her sight was not a waiter, but a familiar face, she opened her lips in surprise, "Ah-"

Indifferent eyebrows, a high nose, and a well-defined face, this is the man she just met by chance the day before yesterday.

The man sat down across from her casually, propped up on the table with one hand, still holding the mug in the other, and stared at her with a pair of inky black eyes without any emotion.

After a moment of stunnedness, Lin Xiaojiao's heartbeat began to accelerate, his uneasiness and nervousness instantly climbed, his eyes widened uncontrollably, his hands trembled slightly, and he hurriedly pulled off the headphones he was wearing, "No, it's not...... I didn't, I really didn't, I didn't, I didn't......"

"No?" the man raised an eyebrow.

"I really didn't follow you!" Lin Xiaojiao was anxious, his fingers went back and forth on his notebook and hand-drawn tablet, like a student who was caught by the teaching director, and explained hard: "I, my house is nearby, the power outage in the community, I came here to draw." I've been around for a day, um, um, you can ask the staff in the store...... Oh, I can also give you the address of my community, you go and see, there is a real power outage, I didn't lie......"

Yes, after recognizing the man in front of him, Lin Xiaojiao's first reaction was to worry that the man would misunderstand that he was a 'stalker' and stay here to guard him.

She doesn't know where this fate came from, but the person she met by chance the day before yesterday actually met again today.

So from a man's standpoint, it's not unreasonable to misunderstand that he is pursuing him, after all, he seems to be in very good condition, Lin Xiaojiao really wants to have a few more mouths at the moment.

The man frowned and said nothing, with a hint of displeasure.

He saw Lin Xiaojiao's reaction clearly, she didn't lie, he knew it.

It was a pure accident that he would come to this café today, so she couldn't have known his whereabouts here, and since he was impressed with her, he pushed the door in and only glanced at her and recognized it.

After ordering, he looked at her several times, her dress was too casual, from his point of view, he could only see her slightly bowed side face, a few strands of hair tied up at random hung down on the side of her face, her thin lips pursed slightly, staring intently at her sketchpad and computer, ignoring everything around her.

That kind of preoccupation can't be pretended.

This damn fate, every time he meets him, it always brings him a surprise, and he can't help but be a little curious about her.

But when he thought of the way she was desperately trying to get rid of her relationship with him the day before yesterday, he didn't plan to get close to her at all, if it weren't for the fact that he saw a figure outside the glass door who didn't want to see coming this way, he would only think that he hadn't met her today.

Damn, he needs her help.

The man cursed in a low voice, took the prepared drink and sat down in front of Lin Xiaojiao.

The trepidation on her face was too palpable, as if he were a ghost.

"Calm down. The man leaned in again, "Don't act so nervous. ”

“......”

Xu is his aura is too strong, Lin Xiaojiao subconsciously obeyed his words, nodded meekly, and tried not to let his body shake.

The man said again: "Don't be so nervous, smile." ”

Lin Xiaojiao immediately obediently pulled the corners of his lips, which is comparable to the most popular 'fake smile boy' emoji on the Internet.

“...... Still stop laughing. The man's gaze fell on Lin Xiaojiao's hand-drawn tablet, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes, and then he asked, "Are you an art student?"

Lin Xiaojiao shook his head, and put his hands on the hand-drawn board in a regular manner, like an honor student who can answer all questions, "I work in an animation company, but my undergraduate is not art." ”

The man nodded, and he saw that a bright yellow figure had pushed the door in, and then leaned over slightly and listened carefully, narrowing the distance between him and Lin Xiaojiao without a trace.

His tone was still detached, but the posture of the two seemed to the onlookers to be a kind of intimacy.

The yellow figure got closer and closer, and the man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "No matter what I say for a while, don't deny it." ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiaojiao was confused.

"I don't know what to say, just listen quietly. ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, Lin Xiaojiao heard the sound of hurried high heels, a finger with excellent maintenance and fine skin and tender flesh pointed directly at him, and a sharp voice followed: "Who are you?"

Lin Xiaojiao hadn't recovered from the emotional ups and downs brought by the man, and walked directly into the fright brought by the woman, she looked at the woman in front of her with exquisite makeup and hot body, and the big brown waves swaying rhythmically when she spoke, and she didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

What is the situation now?

She didn't know this beautiful woman!

"Cheng Shasha, have you made enough trouble?" The man's chin was slightly tilted, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were cold.

Lin Xiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem that he was looking for her.

"Brother Nanyuan. Cheng Shasha's red lips opened, her gaze at the man was both sad and pitiful, and her voice changed from sharp and delicate to delicate in a second, "Who is this woman?"

"It's not about you. The man's tone was colder than the air conditioning in the store, "As you can see, I have an appointment for the evening." ”

With a familiar tone and expression, Lin Xiaojiao understood, isn't Cheng Shasha in front of him the same person he was a few days ago.

However, looking at Cheng Shasha's appearance, it doesn't seem like a misunderstanding, she makes no secret of her liking him.

So, he's using himself as a shield?

Lin Xiaojiao trembled, and really wanted to explain to Cheng Shasha that he was just a passerby.

"You're just refusing me for her?" Cheng Shasha couldn't believe it, "It's impossible, I confirmed your itinerary with Lisa today, and Lisa said that I came to you when you didn't have a trip at night." ”

It was with this idea that after he coldly refused to stride away, she still followed, but she didn't give up, thinking that he must have no arrangements for the night.

Speaking of this, Cheng Shasha began to look at Lin Xiaojiao unscrupulously, from her plain face, messy hair, to her loose clothes and the pair of flat-bottomed sandals on her feet, her hostility dispersed a lot, "You don't know each other at all, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have this expression." ”

Lin Xiaojiao's heart was already roaring: Yes, that's right!

Cheng Shasha: "This woman doesn't seem to be from the same world as you, and you won't have anything with her, Brother Nanyuan, you just grab someone to anger me, and you shouldn't look for this person, it's too unconvincing." ”

After Cheng Shasha finished speaking, she was completely persuaded by her own ideas, and her tone was relaxed.

Lin Xiaojiao: ???

However, the air pressure around the man dropped a few degrees, and the indifference and impatience on his face all dissipated, and he said in a deep voice: "Apologize immediately." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Shasha pointed at herself and then at Lin Xiaojiao, "I apologize to her?"

Lin Xiaojiao was of course uncomfortable after being counted innocently by no one, but the tense appearance of the two people in front of her made her embarrassed, and waved her hand good-naturedly, "No need......

The man floated over with a look and called, "Lin Xiaojiao." ”

Lin Xiaojiao immediately closed his mouth, well, he couldn't deny what he said.

But these three words are like giving Cheng Shasha a resounding slap in the face, he knows her name, they know each other.

"Cheng Shasha, your self-righteous superiority makes me feel that you are very uneducated. The man's thin lips were thin, and every word was a sharp sword, and he stabbed at Cheng Shasha accurately, "I've said everything I need to say, since she doesn't want your apology, please leave, don't disturb our date." ”

Cheng Shasha's face was red and white, white and blue, she couldn't speak for a long time, her chest rose and fell with her breathing, she had no way to be angry with the man she loved, she could only burn all the raging fire on Lin Xiaojiao.

Cheng Shasha looked left and right, her eyes went from Lin Xiaojiao's empty coffee cup to the cup in the man's hand, and finally turned slightly sideways to stop the clerk who was about to deliver drinks to the guests with a tray.

When the clerk looked confused, she quickly picked up a cup of hot American style and threw it at Lin Xiaojiao, "You are not worthy!"

Time seemed to be stretched out for a long time at that moment, Lin Xiaojiao watched the dark brown steaming liquid splash towards her, and after a brief blank in her brain, her body only reacted, she lowered her head and leaned over, holding the hand-drawn tablet with both hands.

The hand-drawn tablet can't be broken, and the drawings she drew all day can't be broken.

She's going to give it to Lili tomorrow night.

The hot American style was poured on Lin Xiaojiao's neck like this, and then flowed down her neck to the back of her hand, she subconsciously gritted her teeth, and the muffled pain still overflowed.

It hurts.

At the same time, the man got up and dragged Sasha hard, but he didn't have time to stop it from happening.

The man had a lot of strength, Cheng Shasha was wearing stiletto heels, stumbled, and fell to the ground hard, and the dull pain spread from the tail of the buttocks.

Where did the eldest lady who had been pampered since she was a child suffer, and instantly cried, "Wu Nanyuan!"

But Wu Nanyuan didn't even look at her, and walked straight to Lin Xiaojiao's side.
