Jiang Lai struggled slightly: "This is not very good, say that I will invite it!"

"I couldn't think of anything to eat for a while, so I brought you here. It's already this time, so let's take a moment for now. ”

Listen! "Soon" is out, what else can she say!

Silently holding the menu, I saw the "bak kut tea" at the bottom right at a glance.

Suddenly the cycle in my head: "Curry, bak kut tea, Indian nine-story pagoda ......"

In the end, there is naturally no point in bak kut teh.

Let her gnaw pork ribs in front of Li Zechen, think about that picture, forget it.

Just as the food was served, Li Zechen's mobile phone rang.

He glanced at it and picked it up.

On the phone, Ji Yunfei asked him when he would arrive?

He glanced at Jiang Lai, who was holding his chin and looking out the window, and replied, "I have something to do, so I'm not going!"

Ji Yunfei raised his voice: "What, you're not coming, we'll be waiting for you when we arrive!"

"Let's play!"

"No, you missed the appointment last time, and this time I will drag you from your house!"

"I'm not at home!"

"And where are you?"

"Eat out!"

Ji Yunfei thought that he had heard it wrong: "You actually went out to eat alone? Are you Li Zechen? It was the sun that came out of the east today!"

Li Zechen's voice was slightly cold: "I made an appointment with a friend!"

Hearing the word "friend", Jiang Lai's eyes flashed.

"Which friend? Which one of your friends in Beijing I don't know?"

Li Zechen replied flatly: "You don't know!

Without waiting for the other side to react, Li Zechen hung up the phone.

"Why don't you move your chopsticks?

Li Zechen saw that Jiang Lai's plate was empty.

"Oh...... Good!"

The person who invited the guest hadn't moved the chopsticks yet, so how could she, the person who was invited, be embarrassed to do it first.

Although she was already hungry.

During the meal, it was quiet in the whole box.

All you can hear is the sound of chopsticks hitting the plate.

When they were eating together yesterday, Jiang Lai found out that Li Zechen had no sound when eating.

Even vegetables that make a noise between chewing can reduce the decibels to a minimum.

As a result, Jiang Lai was extra careful when eating, for fear of making any noise.

Fortunately, the dishes I ordered today were all eaten quietly.

Just as Jiang Lai was pinching the soup spoon and sipping the soup one by one, her phone rang.

When I saw the name displayed on the screen as "Mom", I chuckled.

I haven't been in touch with my family for half a month, and my mother is afraid to call at this time......

Sneaking a glance at Li Zechen, he was holding his mobile phone, not knowing what he was posting.

As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang's mother's loud voice came: "It's comfortable to stay outside, have you forgotten that you still have parents at home, and you won't call for half a month!"

Jiang Lai hurriedly apologized: "How can you forget?

Mother Jiang said "hehe" twice: "What can you do except eat and sleep every day?"

Jiang Lai's mind turned: "Jiang Jiang's recent articles have not been written too smoothly, haven't I also been an editor before, just help her find inspiration or something!"

Mother Jiang's attitude was a little softer: "What are you doing now? are you still stuffy in the house, can you go out for a walk, how can you find a boyfriend at home every day......

Hearing this posture, he was about to start talking about it again, and at this time, Li Zechen also put down his mobile phone and looked at her.

She hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, I'm outside, I'll call you when I go back!"

"What are you doing outside?"

"Eat!"

"It's another person? Look, without a boyfriend, you're all alone! Don't you think it's boring? Don't you feel uncomfortable when you look at the pairs all around?"

Jiang Lai silently replied in his heart: "Mom, you poke your daughter's sore spot like this, can you bear it?"

"We don't mean that we have to force you to get married immediately, you say that you can talk about one first, and we can rest assured that someone is with us!"

"It's not a person, I came out with friends, so go back and talk about it?"

When Jiang's mother heard this, she paused: "Which friend?

Of course not, if my mother knew that she was having dinner with a man, and this man was still the male god of thousands of girls, she wouldn't dare to think about the consequences.

So Jiang Lai could only open his eyes and say nonsense: "Female!"

Mother Jiang instantly lost interest: "Woman, when can you give me a different answer!"

Jiang Lai's brain twitched: "Not a man or a woman?"

"Jiang Lailai!"

Jiang's mother roared angrily on the phone.

Jiang Lailai is her original name.

When I got my hukou, it was Jiang's father who went.

People asked, "What is the child's name?"

Father Jiang opened his mouth and came: "Lailai!"

So the name Jiang Lailai has been with her in primary and secondary school.

Until it was time to apply for an ID card, it was just in time for her to enter high school.

Jiang's mother specially found someone to calculate a hexagram, saying that she hit too many woods.

Therefore, after entering high school, she officially changed her name to Jiang Lai.

But the family still sometimes calls her "Jiang Lailai".

Especially when angry!

Seeing that the anger on the phone had attracted Li Zechen's attention, Jiang Lai hurriedly extinguished the fire: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I was wrong, don't be angry!"

Jiang Lai used his hometown dialect when he called, and Li Zechen didn't understand it very well.

However, from the tone of Jiang Lai's speech and the "roar" just now, he probably guessed that it was Jiang Lai's mother.

Jiang's mother finally threw down the sentence "Come back for the New Year on a blind date!" and hung up the phone.

At the thought of going home to go on a blind date, Jiang Lai's head was big.

Li Zechen saw that her face was wrinkled, and asked, "What's wrong?

Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, no, I was just muttered a few words by my mother!"

Li Zechen nodded, seemed to remember something again, and asked, "By the way, I remember that you and the coordinator are classmates, right?"

Jiang Lai didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but he still nodded: "Yes, we are junior high school classmates!"

"That day, you scared him out of your native dialect!"

Jiang Lai let out an "ah" before he realized what he was talking about, and was suddenly a little surprised.

How did Li Zechen know it was her?

Tentatively asked, "How do you know it's me?"

Li Zechen leaned back, with a faint smile between his eyebrows: "Guess! It's really you!"

Jiang Lai's eyes widened.

Guess?

Then he scolded in his heart: Sure enough, he was a veteran, and he quietly took out her words.

also blamed her for her own weakness, so she let the family go around in a few sentences.

Now that it has been exposed, she simply admitted: "He was drunk that day, so he dragged me to talk nonsense."

"Originally, I didn't talk to him much when I was in school, and I haven't been in touch for so many years. He talked nonsense in front of everyone, and I suddenly thought of this idea and cleaned him up a little. ”

Li Zechen actually said very seriously: "Well, it's him who is wrong!"

Eh, that's not right!

Jiang Lai coughed unnaturally: "But I didn't get any benefit, just after finishing him, I fell down the stairs." It seems that people still can't do bad things, and it's easy to be happy and sad. ”

"But what the hell did you say that he could be scared when he was drunk?"

Li Zechen was curious about this question for a long time.

Jiang Lai smiled: "I just imitated his mother's voice and called his nickname." When he was in school, his classmates knew that his mother was the one he feared the most. ”

Li Zechen didn't expect this answer: "At that time, I thought the voice was a little strange, and you would still imitate other people's voices?"

"I just think it's fun, and sometimes I play voice acting with my friends. That day, it was also because Sun Bin was drunk that he had a conditioned reflex. ”

A slight smile appeared in Li Zechen's eyes, so much so that Jiang Lai disappeared before he could distinguish it.

"Are you done eating?" Li Zechen suddenly changed the subject.

Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Feel free to go!

The two men stood up and walked out of the box one after the other.

When he walked to the top of the stairs, Jiang Lai unconsciously glanced downstairs, but paused.

Li Zechen went down a step, noticed that there was no movement behind him, and looked back.

Jiang Lai's face was very bad, and his eyes were looking straight in a certain direction downstairs.

Li Zechen followed her line of sight, only to see two women and a man standing downstairs, and there were a few people around him.

He vaguely heard the word "light sound".

When the people who were surrounded raised their heads, he saw clearly that it was Gu Qingyin.

The two beside her didn't know each other.

Looking back at Jiang Lai, she didn't know when she had already put on her mask.

Li Zechen intuitively felt that Jiang Lai's sudden change in mood had something to do with the people downstairs, or with Gu Qingyin.

He returned to Jiang Lai and asked softly, "Do you need to stay a little longer?"

Jiang Lai raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes were actually a little moist.

She quickly changed her mood: "It's okay, let's go!"

When the people around Gu Qingyin dispersed, Jiang Lai and Li Zechen had already walked to the door of the restaurant.

Gu Qingyin felt something and looked back.

The assistant followed her line of sight: "What's wrong?"

Gu Qingyin chuckled and shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go up!"

From going downstairs to getting into the car, Jiang Lai's movements were coherent and smooth, but there was no expression on his face.

Li Zechen said softly: "I'll send you back!"

I didn't wait for Jiang Lai's answer for a long time.

Just as the car started, he heard a soft "Thank you" from the co-pilot!"

Then he closed his eyes.

Li Zechen saw her eyelashes fluttering slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look ahead.

Jiang Lai originally wanted to calm himself down.

I didn't expect to fall asleep in the end.

When he woke up, Jiang Lai felt that the corners of his eyes were wet.

She seems to have had a long dream!

"Are you awake?"

Jiang Lai heard Li Zechen's voice, and turned his head to look at him with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm asleep again!"

There was a faint smile in Li Zechen's tone: "You woke up at the right time, you can tell me the address of your home!"

Jiang Lai is embarrassed.

She realized that she actually agreed with Li Zechen to send her back!

But Li Zechen was still waiting for her to answer.

She sighed in her heart and quickly reported the address of the community she lived in.

Then snuggle up in the seat and play dead.

It wasn't until the car was about to arrive at the gate of the community that Jiang Lai saw Aunt Wang next door in the rearview mirror pulling the family's golden retriever dog towards this side.

"Just stop here!"

Jiang Lai hurriedly said.

Li Zechen didn't know why, so he turned his head to look at her.

Jiang Lai opened his seat belt and explained: "I've arrived at the door, I'll just walk over by myself! Thank you for sending me back today!"

Li Zechen knew that she didn't tell the truth, and he didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded: "See you in the new year!"

Jiang Lai was stunned, what do you mean?

Is it still necessary to meet?

Li Zechen raised his eyebrows: "You still owe me a meal, you won't forget it, right?"

I really forgot!

Jiang Lai smiled dryly: "How could I forget it? I will definitely find a chance to invite you to dinner in the next year!"

After the year, we will talk about the new year.

Tomorrow after tomorrow, everything will come to an end!

Jiang Lai felt that what the ancients said was simply a philosophy of life!

Watching Li Zechen drive away, Jiang Lai turned around and walked towards the community.

Unexpectedly, the elevator stopped on the 10th floor and did not come down for a long time.

Then she heard Aunt Wang humming a tune and getting closer and closer.

"Jiang Lai, you're back!"

Jiang Lai gave himself some wax in his heart, turned his head and smiled: "Yes, I just came back after a trip!"

"Boyfriend sent it back?"

I still see it!

Jiang Lai denied: "No, it was a friend of mine who happened to send me back." ”

Aunt Wang smiled: "It's a good thing to have a boyfriend, what's so embarrassing? I originally wanted to introduce you to it!"

Jiang Laiyi, where did she show embarrassment?

"Auntie, he's really not my boyfriend!"

The elevator also came down at this time.

Walking into the elevator, Jiang Lai automatically leaned against the elevator wall.

Aunt Wang continued: "When looking for a boyfriend, you must keep your eyes open and find someone with better conditions, so that you can suffer less in the future." ”

Jiang Lai didn't want to explain more, just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Aunt Wang pulled the golden retriever who wanted to pounce on Jiang Lai: "Let me tell you, it's good to send you back today." My daughter's boyfriend wanted to buy that model of car in the first place, and I've seen it, and it's a lot of money. ”

Jiang Lai gave up completely.

I finally got to the sixth floor.

Jiang Lai got out of the elevator first.

Aunt Wang was still saying, "But it still depends on the person's character, how are the others?

"Auntie, he's really just an ordinary friend, you have to tell me if there's something suitable!"

Aunt Wang paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "Really not?"

Jiang Lai nodded.

"Really? I'll keep an eye on you. Saying that, Aunt Wang showed a very regretful expression, "You should work hard, does he have a girlfriend? If not, you still have a chance!"

Jiang Lai had already taken out the key and inserted it into the lock hole and opened the door.

It happened that Jiang Jiang's voice came from the house: "Sister, you're back!"

Jiang Lai smiled at Aunt Wang as if he had seen a savior: "Auntie, I'll go in first!"

Closing the door, Jiang Lai let out a sigh of relief.

Aunt Wang is really nice, but she is too enthusiastic!

Sometimes she really can't resist.

Fortunately, she didn't see Li Zechen's appearance, but only saw the car.

Thinking of what Aunt Wang said just now, Jiang Lai shook his head.

Boyfriend?Li Zechen?

Are you kidding!
