Hao Lina chose to ride around the river embankment in the urban area, at this time there were many people on the street, especially at the intersection of the urban area, moving like ants during peak hours, delaying time, she was afraid that Xue Zhixiong would wait for a long time.

Pedaling the pedal, Hao Lina guessed all the way that Zeng Yan would not come, right?

racked his brains to guess Xue Zhixiong's purpose for asking her.

Sanjiang is the confluence of the three rivers that go around Fuyang, the river water gathers here, rolls down along the Fujiang River, the original barren river beach, after the municipal government planning, the leisure square is built along the embankment, which is the first to be built here, planted with flowers and trees, interspersed with tree-lined paths, people come here to walk and exercise, relieve the pressure of work and life.

Rows of storefronts have been built on both sides of the embankment near the square, and the dining, entertainment and leisure facilities are complete, and it is very lively after nightfall, especially in summer, when people come here to cool off and drink beer and supper.

Xue Zhixiong was waiting at the intersection of the river embankment near the square, saw Hao Lina, and waved to her with a smile.

"You've been waiting for a long time. ”

Hao Lina jumped out of the car in front of him and said apologetically.

"I just arrived not long ago, and I'm very happy to have you here. ”

Xue Zhixiong's face was joyful.

Hao Lina followed Xue Zhixiong to a small hot pot restaurant next to the lock of the bicycle, walked into the store together, picked a seat by the window, she sat down first, and looked around.

"Just the two of us. ”

Xue Zhixiong ordered food and sat down opposite her: "It's okay, right?"

"Nope. ”

Hao Lina was secretly happy, she didn't like Zeng Yan's presence.

"Legally, we are all married people, as good friends, you are invited to dinner, don't you mind?"

Xue Zhixiong explained.

"Don't mind. ”

Hao Lina was suddenly very happy for some reason, and an inexplicable joy appeared on her face.

"I want to tell you that I don't attend your wedding and I don't invite you to my wedding. ”

Xue Zhixiong directly said his decision, in a non-negotiable tone.

"Oh. ”

Hao Lina didn't know how to answer, this was the purpose of inviting her to dinner, she agreed with this decision, but she wanted to know his reason, but she couldn't open her mouth, and when she was with him, she always obeyed unconsciously.

The hot pot was served, the waiter lit the fire, and then the food was served, Xue Zhixiong didn't drink alcohol, and ordered a bottle of Coke.

Hao Lina added vegetables to the pot, and while waiting for the vegetables to cook, Xue Zhixiong poured two glasses of Coke and raised his glass: "Bless you." ”

Hao Lina raised her glass and touched: "Bless you." ”

Cheers, looking at each other and smiling, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

The pot was boiling, Xue Zhixiong turned down the heat and picked up the chopsticks: "I heard that the hot pot here is good, and it's the first time I've come." ”

Hao Lina: "We rarely come here. ”

"The people around the factory are all acquaintances, and I am afraid of causing misunderstandings. ”

"It's even more inconvenient in the future, just treat it as if it's the last supper, you can eat whatever you want. ”

Xue Zhixiong said, and gave the vegetables to Hao Lina.

"You're not going to give me a chance to ask back?"

The bowl in front of Hao Lina was piled up, and she motioned for him to eat too.

"No, please. ”

"Then I'll pay for it today, otherwise how will I pay you back. ”

"You don't need to pay it back, I owe it to you. ”

Seeing that Hao Lina was puzzled, she hurriedly changed the topic: "Is it delicious?"

"Not bad. ”

Hao Lina praised.

"Eat more. ”

Xue Zhixiong tasted it: "The taste is very special. ”

Xue Zhixiong ate very little, kept scooping soup and vegetables for Hao Lina, watching her eat, looking satisfied.

Hao Lina began to be confused, thinking that time would freeze, and she had to admit that Xue Zhixiong always occupied her heart.

After happily eating the hot pot, Hao Lina rushed to Xue Zhixiong before saying goodbye, and proposed to go to the square to take a walk, she had questions.

In the evenings of early autumn, the weather is refreshing and pleasant, the sky is full of sparkling stars, the breeze blows gently, and the number of people who come to the square to relax and cool off is significantly reduced.

The two walked side by side on the stone-paved path, the street lamp shone a long shadow, and the couple on the opposite side walked by shoulder to shoulder, Hao Lina regretted that she was too reserved, if she had been bold before, maybe 、、、、 Xue Zhixiong put his hands in his trouser pockets with a solemn expression.

Two people with their own hearts came to the water's edge, leaning against the railing, the lights on both sides of the river reflected on the river surface with the surging river flickering, quiet night, the sound of gurgling water is particularly clear.

"Have you ever loved me?"

Facing the river, Hao Lina mustered up the courage to speak, holding her breath and waiting.

After a short silence, Xue Zhixiong said softly: "Yes"

Hao Lina took a deep breath, turned sideways, and couldn't help but pounce on Xue Zhixiong, excitedly: "Thank you, I'm content." ”

Xue Zhixiong hesitated, put his hand on her waist, he tried his best to control his emotions, slowly pushed Hao Lina away, put his hands on her shoulders, and said sincerely: "You are a good girl, you must be happy and happy." ”

Hao Lina's heart knot was untied, and her eyes lit up: "You too, you must be happy and happy." ”

She didn't notice that Xue Zhixiong's eye sockets were moist under the lenses.
