The sky is getting darker, and the soft evening breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel happy.

Inside the Mengyue Western Restaurant.

Yin Xinyan and Qiao Mingjue sat face to face by the window, and there was a candlestick on the rectangular dining table in the middle, and the candles in the candlestick were swaying with orange and yellow flames, and the look in the eyes of the two was particularly soft.

The waiter brought the meal ordered by the two of them, the aroma of the food came to her face, and Yin Xinyan closed her eyes in enjoyment.

Qiao Mingjue gentlemanly took the goblet in front of Yin Xinyan, poured it full of red wine, and there was a shallow smile in his eyes.

As the director of Ruisheng, he often comes out to discuss business with partners, Qiao Mingjue naturally comes to the Western restaurant to eat, but this Western restaurant called Mengyue is the first time he has come.

From the outside, the shop is not as opulent as expected, but the environment inside is very comfortable.

The elegantly dressed waiters, the romantic violin music that resounds through the restaurant, and the candlesticks and flowers on the dining table show the unique characteristics of each place, which shows the intentions of the operators.

When he first came over, Qiao Mingjue almost thought that he had read the wrong address and came to the wrong place.

After all, there was such a small sign outside, and there was a sign saying that please go to the third floor for dinner, which made Qiao Mingjue unable to believe his eyes, and he was about to get back into the car to call Yin Xinyan.

After all, the Yin family has a certain status in Bihu City, and the family company is operating well, Qiao Mingjue could never imagine that a pampered daughter would choose this kind of simple-looking and ordinary place to eat.

But after coming in, Qiao Mingjue didn't think so.

It looks ordinary on the outside, but the inside is so delicately decorated, if it weren't for Yin Xinyan waving in the direction where he was at the right time and saying hello, Qiao Mingjue would have thought that he was hallucinating.

It seems that there are still rich people who will enjoy life, and in such a place, the consumption must not be too low.

Yin Xinyan took the red wine, naturally clinked glasses with Qiao Mingjue, and asked with a smile: "Seeing that you were shocked when you came in, it must be the first time to eat here, right?"

"It's my first time here, and I've never been here before. ”

Qiao Mingjue nodded with a smile while cutting the steak in front of him.

"The restaurant has been in business for many years, and every chef here has been carefully selected by the owner, as if whatever ingredients get into their hands can be turned into delicious dishes, retaining old customers and attracting many new customers. ”

Yin Xinyan looked around the restaurant, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, with a happy smile on her face.

She always remembers the day she first came to the restaurant, and it was the happiest day of her life.

At that time, Yin Xinyan was still in elementary school, and the Mengyue Western Restaurant in her impression was far less luxurious than it is now. Compared to now, when standing outside and looking at the restaurant, there was no idea of stopping passers-by and walking in.

Yin Xinyan remembers very well that that day, she got good results in the exam, and she has always been a poor student in the class, but suddenly came up with such good results, which made Yin Shengjie very happy, and took her and her mother to this Western restaurant that night.

At that time, Yin Xinyan was still unhappy, feeling that this restaurant was shabby, and that Yin Shengjie did not pay attention to her. After entering the restaurant and enjoying a delicious dinner, Yin Xinyan no longer has resentment in her heart, she likes this restaurant from the bottom of her heart.

Not only does she love the environment, but she also loves every dish here, everything is unforgettable.

When she left the restaurant, Yin Shengjie said a word to her, don't look at Yin Xinyan was still a child at that time, but this sentence was imprinted in her heart, reminding herself at all times to take this sentence as her life motto.

"Xinyan, today's dinner, I don't want you to forget it, but I want you to remember that in this world, many people are like this restaurant, with a mediocre appearance, but inside, they have endless strength and knowledge, so you must not judge people by their appearance. External beauty is not the most important thing, what matters is the weight of a person's heart, Dad hopes that you can also become a person with connotation. ”

Yin Xinyan felt that this sentence was not wrong at all, and many people in this world were like this.

Take Qiao Mingjue in front of him as an example, the dignity he has today is all obtained by his own knowledge.

Although Qiao Mingjue has a handsome appearance, he is also widely favored by girls in school with his kind attitude, he looks so sunny and cheerful, but few people know about the scars hidden in his heart.

In addition to Qiao Mingjue and Lin Wenxuan, fortunately, Yin Xinyan is also the one who knows the scars in his heart.

Qiao Mingjue came from a poor mountain village, he was admitted to this famous university in Bihu City, he stayed up all night and studied hard day after day, he is the only college student in their village, and he is also the hope in everyone's eyes.

Although he came to the big city, he has worked hard to fit everyone's living habits, but after all, some places are different, and the reason why he can get along with everyone so quickly is because of his temperament and cultivation exuded from the inside out.

After graduation, everyone went their separate ways, and there were very few people who knew Qiao Mingjue's family situation, in order to retain that dignity and not be excluded by everyone, after Ruisheng went to work, Yin Xinyan, Lin Wenxuan and Qiao Mingjue did not mention half a word about it.

Because of that scar, it has been deeply rooted in Qiao Mingjue's heart.

It's not that Qiao Mingjue is afraid of being known that his family is poor, it's just that when he first came to Bihu City, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he tried his best to find a way to the university, and he met people along the way, and many of them had a sense of ridicule on their faces.

He has changed a lot, he has education, he has knowledge, and he doesn't want to live that life of being talked about behind people's backs.

Yin Xinyan turned from emotion to Qiao Mingjue, thinking a lot, and couldn't help but forget that she was having dinner with Qiao Mingjue.

"This may be the so-called aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys! Such an excellent restaurant, people will spread the word, and there will be more and more customers who will naturally patronize it, and I believe that people who have been here will definitely want to come back a second time. Xinyan, why don't we bring Xuanxuan with us next time?"

Qiao Mingjue tasted the taste of the steak seriously and nodded with satisfaction.

I don't know what happened to Lin Wenxuan after she came home last night?

Seeing that she had also drunk a lot of wine, for fear of disturbing her rest, Qiao Mingjue never dared to call her. This morning, he hesitated for a long time with his mobile phone, but before he could call Lin Wenxuan, Yin Xinyan's phone called.

Tasting such a delicacy, Qiao Mingjue first thought of Lin Wenxuan in his heart, and he wanted to share the delicacy in his mouth with her.

Thinking like this, he also asked like this, and as he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Yin Xinyan, and couldn't help frowning.

Yin Xinyan's eyes fell on the window, looking absent-minded, and the food in front of her didn't move.

"Xinyan, Xinyan, what are you thinking?"

"Sorry, I just got a little distracted. I didn't think about anything, I just hadn't eaten here for a long time, and suddenly I remembered what happened when I was a child, and I felt a little nostalgic and a little emotional. ”

Yin Xinyan came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Qiao Mingjue.

"Well, I don't want those things to pass, I really want to thank you for last night's events! You have done me such a great favor, I don't think it's enough to treat you to a meal, so I went out of my way to choose a gift for you before I came. ”

Yin Xinyan stopped after two bites, and took out flowers and keychains from the bag beside her with a smile.

Originally, she came to express her gratitude today, and by the way, to make up for the rift between the two due to the episode last night, as for whether to fill the full stomach, Yin Xinyan didn't care.

As long as Qiao Mingjue will not alienate her because of this, what is it if she is hungry once?

Seeing the gift, Qiao Mingjue smiled: "Everyone is a man who gives flowers to women, how can a girl send flowers in turn?"

"Where are there so many differences in sending flowers, don't you think these flowers are cute?" Yin Xinyan was a little helpless.

"I won't take the tweed, it's better for you to keep it. I have received your heart, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for being so attentive to today's dinner. ”

Qiao Mingjue didn't reach out to take the bouquet, nor did he notice the keychain held in the palm of Yin Xinyan's hand, shook his head with a smile, and politely refused the gift sent by Yin Xinyan.

It's not that he really doesn't like flowers, it's just that he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of a bouquet of flowers.

"That'...... Since you don't accept the flowers, you have to accept this keychain, right?"

Yin Xinyan put away the bouquet of flowers with a smile, spread out her palm, and pushed the keychain in her hand in front of Qiao Mingjue.

Qiao Mingjue was also stunned, he didn't think that Yin Xinyan had prepared another gift for him.

The shape of the keychain is very chic, it is the shape of a basketball, flashing with a soft light in the light, it is not big, lying quietly in front of Qiao Mingjue's eyes, I have to admit that Qiao Mingjue liked this keychain at a glance.

A keychain shouldn't be a valuable gift, and it's still a very practical thing, so it shouldn't matter if you accept it, right?

Qiao Mingjue hesitated a little, neither reached out to take the keychain, nor immediately refused.

Xu was aware of the uneasiness in Qiao Mingjue's heart, and Yin Xinyan said with a smile: "What's the matter? Don't you dare to accept a single keychain? Could it be that you regard this keychain as a token of love between us?"

"No, no, no, I don't think so, I ......."

Qiao Mingjue's expression was flustered, and Yin Xinyan's words suddenly reminded him of what happened last night.

Regardless of whether Yin Xinyan was drunk and babbling nonsense, or she spit out the truth while drunk, Qiao Mingjue felt that as long as he had no feelings for her, he would definitely not be able to give her a little hope.

Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and maybe then she will do something that she regrets.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this keychain still can't be collected!

Seeing Qiao Mingjue hiding back as if something terrible had happened, shaking her head and wanting to refuse, Yin Xinyan couldn't tell the discomfort and grievances in her heart.

But with such a joke, is it necessary for him to be so nervous?

From another point of view, is Qiao Mingjue so anxious to draw a clear line between the two?

Yin Xinyan lowered her head, smiled bitterly, and said in a very soft voice: "Don't refuse me, I'm just joking with you! It's just a keychain, would anyone use this kind of thing as a token of love? Accept it, I owe you a favor, far from being worth it with a keychain." ”

"That'...... I'll take it, thank you!"

The atmosphere became a little weird, Qiao Mingjue also felt Yin Xinyan's sense of loss, and didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable anymore, so he reached out and took the keychain and put it into his wallet.

Seeing that Yin Xinyan's face finally showed a smile, Qiao Mingjue breathed a sigh of relief and happily enjoyed the steak in front of him.

This matter, even if it passed like this, looking at Yin Xinyan, who was sitting opposite, and her mood was suddenly exceptionally bright, Qiao Mingjue secretly made a decision in her heart.

It seems that from now on, he really has to keep a good distance from Yin Xinyan.
