Chapter 16: A Narrow Encounter
I got off work in a daze, and as soon as I got home, Zhong Zheng's phone came in and was connected.
"Did you get off work? Do you have time to have a meal together? I booked a restaurant, which was the Cantonese restaurant we met for the first time. ”
Shen Yuxi looked at the table below, it was only seven o'clock, she thought for a while and said, "I just arrived home, let's eat together, I still owe you a meal." ”
Zhong Zheng laughed on the phone, "It's like I'm begging you for this meal." However, you have to ask me today, I just won a big lawsuit, and I'm in a good mood, you are not allowed to grab an order with me today. ”
"Well, no wonder you feel excited, well, let you break the bank again. ”
"Where, you rest at home first, and I'll pick you up. ”
"No, the restaurant is quite close to me, I'll just take a taxi. ”
"Alright then, don't worry, I haven't arrived yet, be careful on the road. ”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuxi went into the bathroom to wash his face, went into the bedroom to change his clothes, and went out.
When I arrived at the restaurant, Zhong Zheng was already waiting there. Shen Yuxi walked over and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll keep you waiting for a long time." ”
Zhong Zheng got up and pulled out a chair for her, invited her to sit down, and said with a smile: "No, I also just arrived, and besides, men and women, shouldn't it be?"
Shen Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "What should not be done, I only know that it is very rude to be late and let others wait." ”
Zhong Zheng didn't say anything more, handed her the menu, "Order what you like to eat." ”
Shen Yuxi took it and looked at the menu silently. I casually ordered two dishes and closed the menu. Zhong Zheng saw that she ordered so little, so he couldn't help but speak, "Why do you eat so little, don't you like to eat Cantonese food? Or, do you want to save money for me?"
Shen Yuxi smiled, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "My appetite has not been very good recently, and I can't digest too much food at night, you just order yours, don't worry too much about me." ”
Zhong Zheng looked down at the menu, pointed to a dish and said, "Since digestion is not good, this medicinal porridge is very good, why don't you order a dish." ”
The waiter next to him also agreed, saying that the medicinal porridge was just launched by the restaurant, which nourishes the stomach and replenishes qi, which is excellent for the body. Shen Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a bowl." ”
The meals were quickly served, they were all light and non-greasy dishes, although Shen Yuxi had no appetite, and he also moved chopsticks for each dish, and the medicinal porridge tasted a little strange, but since it was said that it was good for the stomach, he still drank most of the bowl.
Shen Yuxi wiped his mouth with a tissue, drank a few sips of water, and said, "Look, I only cared about eating, and I forgot to congratulate you on winning the lawsuit!"
Zhong Zheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you win the lawsuit, to be honest, I just want to find a reason to invite you out for dinner." ”
Shen Yuxi was a little stunned for a while, she didn't expect Zhong Zheng to say it so bluntly, she didn't know how to answer.
Zhong Zheng looked at Shen Yuxi's face and changed his face, and hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, it was a misunderstanding between the two of us, if you are really Su Zhi, I can give myself some courage to date you, but you are Shen Yuxi, I am afraid that you will reject me for this reason." I'm usually too busy and I don't have many friends, but I really want to be friends with you. ”
Shen Yuxi couldn't help laughing, "Alas, why do I think you're more nervous than me?
Zhong Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and also smiled with Shen Yuxi, anyway, the coming days will be long, and there will always be a day when it will come to pass.
Fang Jidong rarely comes to Cantonese restaurants, he is a person with a strong taste, although it is not spicy and unpleasant, but Cantonese food is too light, and I always feel that it is not tasteful. Helplessly, Xu Sibai loves to eat, and today he saved up a game, so he had to eat in this Cantonese restaurant.
Fang Jidong tasted a few bites of the dishes on the table, and the taste was not bad, but Xu Sibai and those few had a headache, he didn't sleep much in Shen Yuxi's house yesterday, which would be even more sleepy and uncomfortable, and the room was stuffy and dizzy. He came out of the private room, stood at the railing on the second floor, lit a cigarette, leaned on the railing and looked down. The restaurant is doing really well, and the lobby on the first floor is almost full. Fang Jidong looked around, and saw a familiar figure in the corner of the first floor, there was a man sitting opposite her, the man didn't know what to say to her, she suddenly laughed, and the smile was so bright.
Fang Jidong was a little upset, snuffed out the cigarette he was about to finish in his hand, threw it into the trash can next to him, and took out another one to light it, at this time Xu Sibai came out of the private room to look for him. Seeing him at the railing, he walked over and put his arm around his shoulder, "What are you looking at?
Fang Jidong only stared at that place, and didn't pay attention to Xu Sibai. Xu Sibai was strange, looked into his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a man and a woman eating there on the first floor, probably the two of them were eating happily, looking at each other and smiling from time to time.
Xu Sibai patted Fang Jidong on the shoulder, "What? Do you know? That woman looks a little familiar, it can't be your ex-girlfriend, right?"
Fang Jidong glared at Xu Sibai, and said coldly: "What nonsense? Fuck off!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the private room.
Xu Sibai scratched his head, looking like he knew everything about it, Fang Jidong must have something to do with those two people.
Fang Jidong entered the room, drank a few glasses of wine, and felt even more irritable, as if he was sweating and uncomfortably hot. The people at the wine table saw that something was wrong with him, and they didn't dare to ask, so they had to pull Xu Sibai to ask east and west.
Xu Sibai muttered in their ears: "Maybe I met my ex-girlfriend, my ex-girlfriend has a new love, and he doesn't seem to be very happy when he sees it." ”
"Which ex-girlfriend, it shouldn't be, if you meet your ex-girlfriend, it should be your ex-girlfriend who is sad with a black face, what's wrong with having a new love? Dong Ge is not such a person who can't let go. ”
"It won't be Song Qing, if you want to say that it is Song Qing who can't let go of Dongge, it's not Song Qing who gives Dongge ......" Before the man finished speaking, Xu Sibai covered his mouth, so anxious that he looked at the man. You must know that Song Qing is a taboo for Fang Jidong, and no one can mention it.
At this time, Fang Jidong's face was completely blackened, he stood up and kicked away the stool, picked up his clothes and left. went downstairs at the door, and was running into Shen Yuxi who was leaving.
Zhong Zheng answered the phone and said that the office had to leave first when he had something to do, and he felt very sorry when he left, and he regretted that he couldn't send her home, so he didn't leave until he settled the account. Shen Yuxi didn't mind, sat in the seat for a while, picked up his bag and went home. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Fang Jidong walking over with a gloomy face. Her first instinct was to run, but she didn't want to see Fang Jidong at all, their relationship in the company had been said to be very unbearable, and now she could hide. But before she could run, Fang Jidong had already walked in front of her, looked behind her, looked around again, and asked, "What about people?"
Shen Yuxi looked at him, and when he heard this inexplicable question, he was very puzzled: "Who?"
"Don't play stupid, the guy you were eating with just now. Who is he? boyfriend?"
Shen Yuxi didn't know why Fang Jidong took it for granted that Zhong Zheng was her boyfriend, and she didn't bother to explain, so she replied ambiguously: "You said Zhong Zheng, he left beforehand." ”
Fang Jidong sneered and sarcastically: "Leaving you here alone, what is such a boyfriend going to do?"
Shen Yuxi didn't want to say more to him, "It doesn't seem to be your business." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, Fang Jidong came up and was about to grab her arm, she raised her arm to block it, and pushed Fang Jidong again, Shen Yuxi didn't use much effort, he actually stumbled and sat down on the chair behind. Shen Yuxi didn't think about it so much, I was afraid that he would get up and entangle himself again, and run away in a hurry.
When Francis woke up, he was in the hospital. Xu Sibai saw that he was awake, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother, you are really good, chasing the girl and chasing yourself to faint, the fever has reached 40 degrees, it's really bullish." However, the fever has subsided now. ”
Xu Sibai and his party went downstairs and saw Fang Jidong sitting there alone, Xu Sibai walked over and pushed him, but there was no reaction, and after a closer look, it seemed that he had fallen asleep. Touching his forehead, it was so hot that he could fry an egg, so he was sent to the hospital non-stop.
Fang Jidong glared at Xu Sibai, who was constantly noisy, and Xu Sibai immediately shut up when he saw Fang Jidong's impatient appearance. Fang Jidong looked at the needle in his hand, and there was still a third of the liquid in the hanging bottle, he sat up from the hospital bed and said to Xu Sibai, "What are you doing standing stupidly." Can you pour me a glass of water. ”
Xu Sibai immediately ran out after hearing this, and after a while, he came over with a hot water bottle, picked up the cup on the table, poured a full glass of water, and handed it over like a dog's leg
Fang Jidong took a few sips, put it on the table again, and lay back on the bed, closing his eyes, looking unwilling to deal with Xu Sibai.
Xu Sibai is also interested, sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. After a while, Xu Sibai suddenly slapped his thigh, "I said how familiar is that girl?" I remembered the girl who kowtowed on Xiao Susu's birthday that time. I thought about it all night, and finally remembered. After saying that, he ran to Fang Jidong's bed and asked, "Is it Brother Dong?" ”
Fang Jidong opened his eyes and did not speak, pulled out the needle in his hand, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Xu Sibai followed behind him, still asking reluctantly: "Brother Dong, have you taken a fancy to someone?" But they seem to have a boyfriend, you can't be a junior, right? ”
Xu Sibai suddenly remembered something again, and exclaimed: "The little rabbit Lu Yuan said can't be her, isn't she? Isn't she your girlfriend? Damn, she stepped on two boats?"
Fang Jidong turned around suddenly, his eyes were full of anger, he kicked over, Xu Sibai was startled, and jumped away with a snort.
"You shut up for me, and if you talk nonsense, I won't beat you to death. ”
Xu Sibai raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I won't speak." ”
