Chapter 5
However, life is always full of drama.
The last moment Jiang Yuxi was still satisfied with the restaurant she chose, and the next moment she felt that her good mood had been greatly challenged, and just when she was about to sit down, a face that she never wanted to see again in her life crashed into her eyes.
To make matters worse, while she was trying to convince herself to ignore the face, another uninteresting fellow had already walked up to her.
"Yu Xi, are you also here for dinner? Seeing Jiang Yuxi, Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed with joy, and he stood up and walked to her side in two or three steps, inviting with a smile.
What can you do if you come here without eating, can you rob? Jiang Yuxi kept slandering in her heart, but for the sake of today's noon, that very delicious lunch, she didn't tell her inner complaints.
"I'm waiting for Crimson, thank you for your kindness, and I won't need it together. Sitting down at the dining table, Jiang Yuxi raised his good-looking chin and looked at Xiao Cheng and replied.
She didn't have the habit of standing and talking, how tired she was.
Xiao Cheng looked down at Jiang Yuxi, and he didn't know what he suddenly thought, and his eyes, which had been a little lost, were dyed with a smile again, "Then when will you invite me to dinner?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuxi almost gritted his teeth.
She glanced at Xiao Cheng, who was in a suit and leather shoes, with a bad face, and thought indignantly, after entering Liya, would there be a lack of a meal?
"Another day. Jiang Yuxi adjusted her expression, trying not to put the resentment in her heart on her face, who let the words be said by herself, and now she can only knock out her teeth and swallow blood.
What's more, she would rather be slaughtered by Xiao Cheng than eat at the same table with Qi Xin, so she would have indigestion.
Money is valuable, but health is even more valuable.
"Then I'll wait for you. After receiving the reply, Xiao Cheng happily returned to his position, not noticing Jiang Yuxi's expression at all.
Wait, then you just wait slowly! Jiang Yuxi snorted in his heart, feeling that his anger was almost out, and then he called the waiter to prepare an order.
Eating with a bad mood can affect digestion and absorption.
When Shen Feibai walked into the restaurant, Jiang Yuxi was leaning on the leather back and swiping her mobile phone, and she was about to sit down opposite Jiang Yuxi when she felt a gaze cast at her.
As soon as he turned his head and saw Qi Xin who was looking at him, Shen Feibai was stunned for a moment, then retracted his gaze in disgust, and sat down in his seat.
In Yu Xi's words, her situation today is called not looking at the yellow calendar when she goes out.
"There are two more dishes left. Seeing Shen Feibai sitting down, Jiang Yuxi put away his mobile phone and smiled harmlessly, "I don't know you lose weight, I don't have more." ”
"Then I really thank you. Shen Feibai glanced at the steaming mandarin duck pot on the table, the pot was already full of all kinds of meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as some tempting seafood, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start, completely ignoring Jiang Yuxi's almost shameless smile.
Holding chopsticks and picking out some vegetables and mushrooms into the white pot, Shen Feibai said slowly, "What are you doing in Qin City?"
"There was an exhibition of paintings and calligraphy. Jiang Yuxi kept adding meat and vegetables to the red pot, and took a few sips of the seafood soup at hand, his mouth was slurred.
"Qin City is a little far away, you can't take a plane, how can it take five hours if you are on the high-speed rail, call Jiang Yao when the time comes, ask him to pick you up, and you pay attention to your safety on the way." ”
Shen Feibai glanced at Jiang Yuxi, who was eating happily, as if he hadn't eaten for eight hundred years, and was obviously not very willing to take care of himself, so he continued to speak tirelessly, "There is a gap between the temperature over there and Yu City, remember to bring your clothes, and don't leave anything behind in your daily necessities." ”
"Uh-huh. Jiang Yuxi was so spicy that he kept exhaling, and nodded in response.
It didn't mean anything to Niu playing the piano, and after Shen Feibai explained two more sentences, he began to eat, but he was thinking that after sending Yu Xi back later, he would call Jiang Yao and ask him to take care of Yu Xi.
After the two finished eating, Jiang Yuxi accompanied Shen Feibai to pick up the car, Xiao Cheng saw the figure of the two leaving, and just wanted to step forward, his arm was grabbed by Qi Xin beside him.
"What are you going to do?"
"Yuxi doesn't have a car, I'll send her back. Xiao Cheng looked at Jiang Yuxi's back and replied without looking back.
"You haven't finished your meal yet. Qi Xin pulled the defenseless Xiao Cheng on the chair and sat down, his tone was very dissatisfied, "Moreover, I didn't drive today." ”
Looking at Xiao Cheng, who didn't speak, Qi Xin couldn't stand such silence, and spoke again, "You don't really want to eat back grass, do you?"
"Didn't you push me to the party that day just to make me eat back grass?"
"I'm here to make you die. ”
"But you didn't expect that Xixi was still alone. ”
Xiao Cheng laughed lowly, as if he was laughing at Qi Xin's miscalculation, and as if he was laughing at himself.
"You ......" Qi Xin raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief. Xiao Cheng had already guessed his intention to let him go to the party, so did he also know what he did back then?
Qi Xin felt a trace of panic in his heart.
"Qi Xin, I know that you are doing this for my sake, but I love Jiang Yuxi. Xiao Cheng didn't look at Qi Xin, his expression was calm, but his tone was extremely serious, "Eight years is enough time for me to figure out what I want." ”
"Love her to go with her, confess to me as a big man, don't be awkward. Qi Xin's face changed back and forth, and finally returned to his demeanor, and his tone was as unbeaten as ever.
Xiao Cheng smiled at Qi Xin, like a young child finally getting the toy he wanted, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.
Although he doesn't mind what others think of his feelings, Qi Xin is the brother he cares about the most since he was a child, and he hopes to get Qi Xin's blessing.
Shen Feibai sent Jiang Yuxi downstairs and watched her enter the glass door before turning the steering wheel back to her home.
Coming out of the underground parking lot, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, and after a long time, the voice of answering came from the mobile phone, she smiled, her usual cold face, with a trace of gentleness that she had never even noticed, "Jiang Yao, have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten it. On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yao stood at the door of the hotel, although in September, the temperature in Qin City at night was still very low, and the wind was a little cool, but his voice was extremely warm, "How are you doing, are you tired from work?"
"Everything at work is a small problem, it's not worth mentioning, you take care of yourself, remember to eat on time, socialize less, drink less. Shen Feibai talked on the phone while walking in the direction of Building 17.
"Why should I marry you?" Jiang Yao said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he immediately added, "But I will try to drink as little as possible, Xiaofei, I will remember everything you said." ”
On the streets of the community, the greenery on both sides blends with the night, making it difficult to see, and a row of high-end street lamps emits a soft light, giving people a quiet and warm feeling.
Shen Feibai walked under the street lamp, and when she heard Jiang Yao's words, her cheeks were slightly red, and she couldn't help coughing lightly, but she was in a very good mood, "Yuxi is going to Qin City this weekend, and I still have work to deal with, so I won't go with her, and you can pick her up at the high-speed rail station when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I'll take care of Yuxi. Jiang Yao smiled, not debunking Shen Feibai's intention to change the topic, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
After explaining the matter, the two talked about some trivial matters again, and Shen Feibai hung up the phone in Jiang Yao's reluctant tone, and then stepped on nine-centimeter high heels and entered the elevator.
Outside the hotel, Jiang Yao was holding his mobile phone, and his eyes were bustling at night in Qin City.
He stood at the cold air outlet for a while, and was about to go back to the private room, when the phone rang again, he looked down at the lit screen, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he pressed the answer button.
"Okay, auntie, don't worry, well, I know. ”
Hanging up the phone, thinking of his cousin, Jiang Yao was a little helpless, a girlfriend in college refused to talk, and he didn't want to contact girls after graduation, no wonder his aunt was worried.
Just now, my aunt meant that she wanted him to take the opportunity of this weekend to introduce his girlfriend to his cousin, there are a lot of single girls in their law firm, but no matter how good a girl is, my cousin will not take a fancy to it, and he can't say this to his aunt.
He and his cousin went to kindergarten together since childhood, went to elementary school and junior high school together, and later when they were in high school, due to their father's work, their family moved from Yu City to Qin City, and since then he and his cousin have rarely seen each other.
Although they have met few times, he and his cousin have always been in contact, and the relationship between the two is no different from that of their own brothers.
Later, he and his cousin were admitted to the key universities of the imperial capital, and when they graduated, they obviously had good job opportunities, but their cousin said that he would not stay in the imperial capital and that he must go back to Yu City.
At that time, the relatives around him did not understand, and he also asked his cousin privately, and the cousin said that he had agreed with the girl he liked that he would return to his hometown to work after graduation, although the two had not been in touch for four years at that time, but the cousin still returned to Yu City despite everyone's objections.
Thinking of his cousin's past, Jiang Yao suddenly felt that he was lucky, at least, Xiaofei had accepted himself, thinking like this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he turned around and entered the hotel in a good mood.
As soon as he returned to the noisy private room, Jiang Yao continued to chat with customers, he talked harmoniously with customers, and his words were very affectionate, but the wine in hand rarely moved, and in the end, he didn't take a few sips.
In the bedroom, Jiang Yuxi changed into pajamas, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, rolled himself into the soft silk quilt, and took out his laptop to prepare to update the novel.
