……

Hearing Mu Chaoyang's words, Zhang Xiaoxiao had a bad premonition. She slowly turned her head at a snail-like speed, and sure enough, she saw Mu Chaoyang in a short black jacket standing not far behind her, raising eyebrows at her, and shaking the phone in her hand.

"Let's go eat. Frustration made Zhang Xiaoxiao hang her shoulders and resigned herself.

Mu Chaoyang frowned, "Didn't you say there was something else?"

You've seen me like this, what else can you do?" Zhang Xiao smiled and pursed his lips, "Forget it, I'll get it tomorrow, it's more important to eat." ”

"Really, no," Mu Chaoyang confirmed again and again with some doubts.

"No!" smiled and said with a firm look in his eyes.

Seeing the little girl in front of her, she nodded again and shook the car key, "Okay, let's go, my car is parked opposite." In his tone, he was spoiled and spoiled, and he smiled in his heart, no matter how mature he was in dressing, he was still the hairy girl who rose on a whim.

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who gave up the struggle, shrank his head and sat on Mu Chaoyang's co-pilot, and the two chatted about the changes in the past few years. The two tacitly did not mention the scene of seeing Shu Ling that day.

"What to eat?" Mu Chaoyang put his hand on the steering wheel and asked casually, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I have matured a lot." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked down at this ugly professional outfit depressedly, pouted and said: "Say what you want to say, does it look like your mother at first glance, and it looks more like it at first glance?"

"Nope. Mu Chaoyang smiled and coaxed her, "Professional attire, I just came out and heard our teaching director praise you, saying that you are young and capable and professional, quite powerful, this little girl has a bright future." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at Mu Chaoyang, pouted, and said in his heart that it was okay not to mention it, so it seems that Mu Chaoyang had already found himself in their school, and everyone saw that their first love was beautiful, how could he be like an old lady? Although...... Strictly speaking, Mu Chaoyang can only be regarded as her unrequited lover.

"Eat the barbecue, I remember you carnivore. Here, turn left. "The barbecue restaurant in New Century Plaza has been open for a long time, but Zhang Xiaoxiao rarely comes to eat, this shop tastes like eighty percent of the shop at the entrance of Nanqi University, but the price is twice as expensive, every time I come to laugh and laugh, I have to talk for a long time, but today I looked at Mu Chaoyang beside me, and she pointed the way in a ghostly way.

Mu Chaoyang nodded, did not object, hit the steering wheel with his right hand, and turned in.

When a barbecue restaurant removes the fumes and puts on an elegant symphony, it will lose a lot of information about the market, and all the diners will become elegant when they are feasting, not to mention that at this time, Mu Chaoyang and Zhang Xiaoxiao have their own thoughts, and the delicious food is also tasteless.

"Why are you willing to come back to Z City, I heard my cousin say that you are thriving in the academic world of N City. Probably because the atmosphere was a little awkwardly quiet, Zhang Xiaoxiao casually mentioned a topic.

Mu Chaoyang habitually took the plate with a smile and cut the steaks on the plate for her one by one, "After all, I am the only son in the family, it is better to be closer to my parents, and it only takes forty minutes to go back by car here." ”

"Tsk. Zhang Xiaoxiao smacked his lips and teased: "The scientific research rookie came back to be a middle school teacher, you don't feel aggrieved, I still feel condescending."

In her heart, Mu Chaoyang's kung fu is solid, and he has the courage to innovate, he is bound to break through the world, N City has developed software technology, and there are many opportunities for the industrial chain to complete, which is suitable for Mu Chaoyang to take root and show his strength.

Mu Chaoyang smiled absently and pushed the cut steak and plate to her, "Didn't you say 'your parents are here, don't you travel far' when you were in college?"

"Thank you. Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the plate a little dazed, and suddenly came back to his senses with a smile: "My parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to swim." He took the words, "You are still a teacher, but you have memorized it all." Said with disgust.

The waiter of the barbecue restaurant carried the newly tested sausages from table to table and asked the customer if he needed it, Mu Chaoyang glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression, and just as Xiaoxiao also asked him what he meant, the two looked at each other, and Zhang Xiaoxiao looked away like an electric shock.

"Thanks, no need. ”

"Give her a little. ”

The two said at the same time, and the waiter was stunned for a moment and stood in place.

"Don't you want it?", Mu Chaoyang obviously didn't expect Zhang Xiaoxiao's reaction, "Don't you like to eat all kinds of smoked foods such as ham and bacon the most." ”

"Thank you. Zhang Xiaoxiao pointed to his plate and didn't pay attention to the food anymore, "That'...... Where's my sister-in-law?, I'm going back to Z City with you?" she tilted her head to look away, changing the subject, and there was a tremor in her tone.

It's about time to change the song, and the background music stops just right, "You said Luo Yuan? It's been two years." Mu Chaoyang's face did not change, and he said slowly, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Xiaoxiao had an ominous premonition, and suddenly turned his head and stared at Mu Chaoyang: "Is it because of ......?"

"Am I like the kind of person who can't get a girlfriend?" Mu Chaoyang knew what she wanted to ask when he heard the smile in his tone, and he interrupted her, "I'm not quite suitable for her." And she is a native of N City, the only daughter in the family. Her parents won't let her go back to Z with me. Explained.

After speaking, he looked up and saw Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyebrows twisted together, and he looked like he wanted to say something, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and patted her on the head, and said, "What kind of expression do you have? Isn't it normal to fall in love and break up? There are many people who can't get together in love in college." ”

"Is it really not because of that oolong?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was still not at ease, after all, she remembered that at 2 o'clock in the morning, Luo Yuan went directly to the door of her house to "catch the rape", even if she was so drunk that she was unclear about personnel at that time, she was really startled. Of course, it was at that time that she knew that Mu Chaoyang had a girlfriend.

"How could it. The melodious music sounded again, and Mu Chaoyang calmly divided the food on his plate, "Don't talk about me, what happened to you and Qi Xiaofan in the end?" I haven't heard from you since that time, and I'm afraid that you are hiding the love from your family, so I don't dare to ask Han Qi." ”

Qi Xiaofan is Zhang Xiaoxiao's boyfriend in college, the reason is a long story, Zhang's mother disagrees with the relationship between the two, and the mother and daughter have a lot of conflicts because of this, but the final outcome is that the two of them did not succeed.

"Divided. Zhang Xiaoxiao simply spit out two words neatly, and he didn't want to say anything more. "Otherwise, I can go on a blind date. ”

……

At the mention of this, Mu Chaoyang's whole person was stuck. He didn't forget the purpose of coming over today, Shu Ling was always anxious about the events of that day, and he couldn't bear his friends to be panicked all day long, so he decided to come over and be a "lobbyist", after all, Zhang Xiaoxiao He knew the girl's personality and personality very well. Although he wanted to ask Qi Xiaofan about it very much at this time, Mu Chaoyang still decided to get back to business.

"Smile and smile......" Mu Chaoyang, who was very calm when he mentioned his ex-girlfriend, hesitated, "About the day of your blind date......" He hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

"Ding. Zhang Xiaoxiao put the knife and fork on the plate a little heavily, "Mu Chaoyang, I haven't asked you yet, why did you help that bastard talk that day! You have to know that if it wasn't me who went that day, but other girls......" Zhang Xiaoxiao realized that maybe Mu Chaoyang didn't know Shu Ling's physical condition, and swallowed back the words stiffly.

The puffing appearance of the little girl in front of her finally made Mu Chaoyang get back to what she looked like a few years ago. Seeing her at school today, Zhang Xiaoxiao was dressed in work clothes, and her mouth was too skilled, and she didn't have the shadow of the little girl who cried her nose to find him because she had been a big spider, and this comparison made him a little trance.

"Sorry, it was a bit complicated that day. He apologized, "Ridiculous, I have a reason to help him." Judging by your attitude, I think you know some rumors about Shu Ling's private life, but you believe me, he is a very sober person, otherwise I wouldn't accompany him on a blind date......"

There are some rumors in his private life? Zhang Xiaoxiao looked up at Mu Chaoyang, wanting to read something from his eyes, did Shu Ling turn out to be like this?" "Okay, I believe you have your reasons for helping him, I don't care." Looking at Mu Chaoyang's serious eyes, Zhang Xiaoxiao was defeated, after all, just like Mu Chaoyang knew her, she also knew Mu Chaoyang's personality very well, and there was no way to say anything to accuse him again.

"So he should have 'turned back on the prodigal son'. Mu Chaoyang knew that Zhang Xiaoxiao's attitude had softened, and he took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Maybe you are a little biased, but Shu Ling is a responsible person." Laughing, I hope you can ...... about his past."

"Ding", Zhang Xiaoxiao threw the knife and fork back on the plate, "The one surnamed Shu asked you to be a lobbyist?"

She knew how Mu Chaoyang, who had never taken the initiative to look for her, would suddenly invite her to dinner, but she was afraid that it was his central air conditioning attribute attack again and she was entrusted by others. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little self-deprecating, otherwise, Zhang Xiaoxiao, why do you think he asked you out?

"Laugh. Mu Chaoyang knew that this was the precursor of Zhang Xiaoxiao's fried hair, he called her in a low voice, and looked at her seriously, "You are all my friends, I don't want everyone to be embarrassed in ......the future" Mu Chaoyang said as he spoke, suddenly feeling that these words were a little familiar, and a fragment flashed in his mind, which suddenly made him stop his mouth and look at Xiaoxiao with some anxiety.

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting, also changed his face when he heard this, and the fragments of memories rolled in his mind......

"We're all friends, I don't want the three of us to be embarrassed to meet in the future......"

After confessing back then, Zhang Xiaoxiao finally couldn't accept his concern as much as he always cared about after being rejected by Mu Chaoyang, and asked Han Qi to help him ask what was going on. Han Qi knew his sister's temperament, and he would not die until the heart of the Yellow River. Taking advantage of the winter vacation, he made a special trip to Mu Chaoyang to chat and laugh, and quietly turned on the hands-free behind her back to make her die.

"Why is it embarrassing? Chaoyang, I don't mind you being my brother-in-law. Or do you not like to laugh?"

"It's not a matter of liking it or not. At that time, Mu Chaoyang's tone was rarely irritable, "Then what if I agree to be with her, and then break up? At that time, will I not be friends with her, or will I not be friends with the two of you......"

……

"Xiaoxiao?" Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxiao began to wander, Mu Chaoyang shook his hand in front of her eyes to attract her attention, "Did you hear what I just said?"

What? Zhang Xiaoxiao withdrew from his memories and looked at Mu Chaoyang blankly.

This look...... I just didn't hear it. Mu Chaoyang sighed secretly, ready to say it again.

"Ring, ring, ring!" interrupted him by the rapid ringing of the phone, and when he heard the phone, he smiled and picked up the phone on the table and changed his expression.

"Hey, I'm in the city. New Century Plaza. Okay, let Xiao Wu pick me up by the way? Okay, I'll see you in fifteen minutes. ”

"I'm sorry, I have something to do first. Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression was serious, and there was some worry between his eyebrows.

Seeing her appearance, Mu Chaoyang couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, is there something urgent?" After speaking, he wiped his hands with a tissue, and was about to get up, "I'll send you." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao shook his head, "I'm on emergency duty this week, and it seems that there is a suspected case of infectious disease, so I have to be on duty." My colleagues in the same group dropped by me. You eat slowly. Carrying his bag, he hurried away.

"Hey. Mu Chaoyang looked at the back of the smiling smile and acted like the wind. He couldn't help but call her, Zhang Xiaoxiao looked back at him suspiciously, "It's getting late, be careful yourself." He admonished.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao, who had been straining his face since receiving the call, softened his expression, and his eyes lit up: "Don't worry, I'm used to it." See you later. She smiled and waved her hand, walking with a firm step and not looking back.
