[3Qโ รท โ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Xu Qiaoqiao's face flushed, and when she saw the teasing in his eyes, she was immediately annoyed and angry: "Stinky Xiaobai, you bad guy, play me!" She grabbed his hand and bit him fiercely.
Long Yuchen frowned lightly between his eyebrows, let her bite unmoved, and still said in an indecent tone: "If you really want to, I can also reluctantly satisfy you." โ
"you! I don't think I'm going to do it yet!" she shouted disgusted.
"Actually, I'm pretty good at it, so don't you really want to try it?" he said wickedly.
"I'm not unusual! I'll try it with your girlfriend!" she snorted, leaning down and slipping out from under his arm.
Long Yuchen still maintained his original posture, his eyes were lowered slightly, and his long eyelashes formed a faint shadow on his lower eyelids, making it impossible to see his emotions. He carried the light on his back and lowered his head, blurring his handsome face. The corners of his mouth were hooked, as if bitter, as if self-deprecating.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't notice his abnormality, patted him on the back from behind, and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat." โ
Long Yuchen slowly straightened up, and when he turned around, he smiled lightly on his face again, stretched out his long arms, and the two brothers hooked her shoulders and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Such a move did not make Xu Qiaoqiao feel uncomfortable anymore.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Nanhua Street." โ
Long Yuchen's eyes flashed, "Okay." โ
โฆโฆ
Nanhua Street has existed since the Republic of China, and it was destroyed during the war. It was later repaired, but it was never expanded. The buildings are old and the streets are long and narrow.
During the day, Nanhua Street is almost desolate. At night, it is noisy and lively.
In the eyes of young people in the middle and lower classes of society, it is very popular. The food is plentiful and affordable. It is known as "a grass house during the day and a paradise at night".
And for Xu Qiaoqiao, it also has memories of their youth.
They didn't change their opinion of this place because their lives had become more privileged. Xu Qiaoqiao's feelings for this place are as always.
When you come to Nanhua Street, it is natural to visit the "old friends" food stalls.
The owners of the food stall are a middle-aged couple in their forties, who have been here for decades.
When he was young, Long Yuchen worked here and didn't ask for a salary, just to satisfy Xu Qiaoqiao's appetite.
He was still underage, and the couple didn't dare to recruit him. Later, under his pleading, he reluctantly recruited him, and publicized that it was his nephew.
He doesn't want a salary, and he is very diligent. Xu Qiaoqiao's mouth is also sweet, which is particularly pleasing. The couple has never had children, but they like them a lot. After getting along for a long time, I slowly have feelings.
When they left, the boss and his wife were very reluctant. It can be seen from their clothes that their lives are getting better and better, and once they even saw the little girl riding in a luxury car.
However, they didn't dislike it at all, and they would meet up from time to time, but then the number of times became less and less.
It is rare to see them patronizing together today, and the couple is naturally very happy. But there were too many customers to greet them.
Long Yuchen didn't mind, as if he was in his own territory, he rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person.
Because the appearance is so eye-catching, it attracts more and more passers-by, and the food stalls soon burst into flames. The proprietress was so happy that she gave them free orders right away.
Seeing this, Xu Qiaoqiao teased: "It's really convenient to take you out, this face can be used as a card swipe." โ
Long Yuchen was rarely not narcissistic, but looked at her with a deep look, and asked lightly and lightly: "Then are you willing to take me all the time?"
"What?" the voice was noisy, and his low voice didn't really sound real. In other words, she actually heard it, but his eyes suddenly made her a little flustered, and she subconsciously chose to pretend to be stupid to escape.
Fortunately, he didn't continue to say anything, just shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing." โ
Xu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. Immediately stunned again, what was she nervous about?
She pondered for a while, but she really couldn't think of a reason, so she simply gave up.
After the boss and his wife were busy, the boss also made two secret private dishes for them.
Xu Qiaoqiao happily asked for a few bottles of wine and drank it with the boss.
The boss said happily: "The little girl has grown up and learned to drink!"
Long Yuchen frowned and looked at her thoughtfully.
This girl doesn't like to drink. Even if you are in a good mood, you will not ask for alcohol.
He hadn't forgotten the aggrieved tone of wanting to cry when she called him. Later, when those accidents happened, he didn't ask her properly.
The proprietress saw his solemn expression with sharp eyes, patted him, and said, "Don't worry, you won't get her drunk." โ
Long Yuchen tugged at his lips lightly, smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing that the girl was drinking vigorously with her old man, the proprietress sat next to him and asked in a low voice, "When are you going to settle down with this girl?"
Long Yuchen was stunned.
"You've been together for so many years, don't you have that plan? You see that it's not easy for you to be in a relationship for so many years, and now that you've been working hard, it's time to give someone a name. Qiaoqiao is a good girl, and she is getting more and more beautiful, so beware of being snatched away in the future. โ
Long Yuchen smiled bitterly and muttered, "The one who needs the name is the one who ...... right."
When the proprietress heard this, she looked at him with some surprise, "Why, you won't ...... You haven't told anyone about it, have you?"
When he knew that she didn't have any love for him at all, could he really pierce this layer of paper?
No, he didn't dare! He didn't want to let his feelings become a burden to her, let alone let their relationship be estranged because of it.
At least now, he can be by her side, watch her laugh, listen to her, and comfort her sadness.
At least now, when she was vulnerable, the first person who came to mind was him. Only he can make her take off her disguise.
Long Yuchen persuaded himself in his heart.
He couldn't stand her alienation.
Because of this, I swallow the words that come to my mouth every time I impulse. When he was jealous, the strong emotion that wanted to break through was forced back by him.
When I was young, I was still ignorant of love. When he understood, she ran to him excitedly, showing a girl's shy expression, and told him that she liked Jun Jinnian.
After she broke up with Jun Jinnian, he didn't even have time to prepare to confess, and Jun Muye stepped in strongly.
He also hated his weakness. Is he not brave enough, so he will always be preempted. However, if she really had the slightest feeling for him, no matter who it was, it couldn't be an obstacle between them!
The proprietress didn't wait for his answer, because there was a guest, and the proprietress dragged the boss away.
When Long Yuchen saw the proprietress leaving, he also gave him an encouraging look.
Is this the so-called bystander clear, the authorities are confused? Even outsiders can see it, and she ......
Long Yuchen turned his eyes to look, Xu Qiaoqiao took the cup, squinted and smiled, and leaned over, "Xiaobai, drink with me." โ
Long Yuchen wanted to snatch her cup over, but suddenly his mind turned around, and he let her go again.
Treat it as him...... Be selfish!
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't drink much, and after not drinking much, people began to get confused.
"Don't drink it, let's go back. Long Yuchen put his arm around her shoulders, and she leaned against him like a cartilaginous creature at the moment.
"No, don't go back......," Xu Qiaoqiao frowned in protest, and then demanded: "I'm going to see the river lantern." โ
"Okay, then let's go see the lanterns. โ
Long Yuchen helped her, said goodbye to the boss and his wife, and went to the river behind Nanhua Street.
It's also a favorite place for young couples to go on a date. The scenery at night is romantic and chic, and it doesn't cost money.
On the banks of the river, long colorful lanterns are tied to the water, reflecting in the water, like colorful stars falling into the water. The dense shade of the trees, the fragrant fragrance of the flowers, and the gentle breeze create a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, especially suitable for couples to cultivate relationships.
Not long after Xu Qiaoqiao left, she became lazy and climbed on his back tricky.
"Is it really that important to be a good person now?" she leaned her head on his back, her face turned sideways, her eyes narrowed at the flickering lights, and she grunted half-awake and half-confused.
Long Yuchen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did someone tell you anything?"
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't respond for a long time, and Long Yuchen almost thought she was asleep.
"If I don't go home, will the Great Demon King be angry?"
Long Yuchen: "......"
"He didn't look for me today......" Xu Qiaoqiao said as if suspicious.
Long Yuchen's footsteps paused slightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and the expression on his face was obscure.
After a while, he felt the person on his back writhing restlessly, and he asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
Xu Qiaoqiao slid off his back and stumbled. Long Yuchen turned sideways and helped her in time. Seeing that she was looking down for something, he asked, "What are you looking for?"
Xu Qiaoqiao frowned, as if she was a little anxious and shouted: "Where is my mobile phone......?
"It may have fallen into the store, I'll get it for you tomorrow. He reassured.
"But, but I'm going to call......" she looked up, looking a little confused and helpless.
"Who do you want to call against?"
Xu Qiaoqiao grabbed his hand and said thoughtlessly: "Is it that Commander Jiang said bad things about me to him, and he is angry with me?"
Long Yuchen's eyes sank. Although she said everything from east to west, he clearly felt that she cared. So, is her mood today related to that man?
He felt his heart sliced with a blunt knife, pricking every nerve in him.
"No, he won't be angry with you, how can he be willing to be angry with you?" he still comforted her.
She looked at him pitifully, "I'm going to call......"
Long Yuchen pursed his lips and looked at her fixedly, and after a while, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and she happily took the phone like a child getting candy, walked to the bench under the shade of the tree and sat down.
Although he drank alcohol, he was not drunk to the point of delirium. She could still familiarly press Jun Muye's number, and the phone was dialed, but an ambiguous voice rang at this time.
