Chapter X: Failure to keep promises
Time went faster and faster in Xu Lei's turbulent and intense thoughts. When she looked down at her watch again, it was already half past six in the evening.
Although it was only half an hour, Xu Lei felt as if she had experienced half a day, and her heart began to tense inexplicably. And the other party's delay in appearing also made Xu Lei's nerves, which had been tense, gradually tired. As she hurriedly put the last sip of water into her mouth, she suddenly felt her whole body sour and softened, and slumped back in her chair again.
"What's going on? What's wrong with the other party? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Xu Lei began to ask herself in her heart, obviously the other party asked to meet, but it has been more than so long, why hasn't he shown up? "Was he delayed on the road? or misremembered the time? Or ......?"
Xu Lei imagined many explanations in her mind, but none of them seemed to work.
"Don't worry about it, I'll get the photo back anyway!yes, I'll be able to ......."
She was puzzled, and gradually she could only comfort herself repeatedly in her heart.
Now, she has fallen completely into passivity. And time continued to pass bit by bit in Xu Lei's speculation and uneasiness.
When Xu Lei trembled her hands slightly, and once again took out a handkerchief from her satchel to wipe the sweat on her face, the waiter suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I'm sorry, miss. ā
He tried to keep smiling: "See if it's time to order......"
From the other party's face, Xu Lei saw a trace of dissatisfaction. Obviously, people who just occupy a seat and do not consume are not popular anywhere, especially during the peak period of consumption.
"Well, then......"
Xu Lei understood that if the other party didn't show up, if she waited like this, she would only be more embarrassed, "I want a steak...... That's it. ā
"What kind of steak is it? We have ...... of all grades and prices here."
"Just the first one!380 yuan kind of ......."
"How ripe do you need to add black pepper or tomato juice?"
"Eighty percent, put some tomato juice. ā
"We have a lot of ...... if you want to have some coffee after your meal"
"No, no, no, that's it. ā
"Okay, wait a minute. ā
After a bow, the waiter stepped back.
Xu Lei let out a long breath and leaned back in her chair again. Seriously, she was exhausted inside, and she was already starting to regret coming to this strange date.
The reason for this date is already very absurd, and the other party's request to meet is even more shameless, not to mention that until now, I haven't even seen the other party's figure. Xu Lei shook her head secretly, maybe she really shouldn't have come here.
At this moment, the mobile phone in the satchel suddenly made a crisp ringtone.
"There's a call!"
With a shock in her heart, Xu Lei hurriedly opened her satchel and took out her mobile phone. Yes, it was the unfamiliar number in the evening!
Without thinking too much, she quickly answered the call.
"Hey, hey, is that you?"
Xu Lei, who was anxious and uneasy, blurted out.
"Hum ......"
After a brief silence, a cold, hoarse laugh rang out from the phone.
"Is it really you? Hey, hey, hey...... Speak......"
Hearing the voice of the stranger in the evening, Xu Lei hurriedly asked.
"Hmph...... It seems that Miss Xu can't wait for the entanglement of strange men!"
The other party's voice was still cold, but there was mockery in his words.
"I ......"
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly felt her gaffe, "No, no......! You ......"
Her face flushed, and she was speechless for a moment.
In just one round, Xu Lei fell into passivity.
"IāI'm just angry!"
Holding her hand on her chest, Xu Lei tried to calm her tone, "I obviously said that we would meet at six o'clock, but now it's been more than forty minutes!
"Hehe! Our beautiful Xu Lei is really a trustworthy person, even participating in such an unsightly date is so punctual, admiration and admiration! To be able to make a friend like you, it is a blessing in three lives!"
"Phew! There's nothing bad about it! I just want to get back what belongs to me!"
Xu Lei's face was hot, and she said sharply: "I don't want to make a friend like you at all! After this incident, I don't want to see you again!"
"Ahh......h Don't be angry!"
The strange man was busy on the other end of the phone, "Why are you in such a hurry to draw conclusions? After this incident, maybe we will become good friends...... A good friend who can't be separated anymore!"
The man on the other end of the phone thought proudly: If a woman is coquettish on a man, then they should be considered friends, right?
"I advise you not to be delusional!"
Maybe it was the anger in her heart that rose, Xu Lei didn't seem to hear the other party's voice, "You are a despicable villain who only shrinks his head and tail all day long, and peeps on other people's privacy, not only shameless, but also has no credit! I will never be friends with you!"
When she said this, she tried to keep the volume down as much as possible to prevent the other people in the seats from hearing it.
"Oh, yes, it's amazing, hehe! Xu Lei is worthy of being a representative of justice and chastity!"
The stranger smiled and continued to say hoarsely: "It's a pity that you have reversed right and wrong......"
"I'm reversing right and wrong, it's ridiculous!"
Xu Lei almost laughed helplessly after hearing this, the other party was simply ridiculous, she said in an incredible tone: "I have never seen a person like you! You are the one who peeps into people's privacy, you are the one who blackmails, and you are the one who is late for the meeting, and you still have the face to say that I am reversing right and wrong? You, you are too ......."
"Calm down, my Miss Xu. ā
The other party's voice on the phone returned to cold, "What I mean by reversing right and wrong means that you have no credit, and I don't negate other aspects." ā
"I don't have credit?"
Although she couldn't see each other, Xu Lei's eyes widened.
"Yes, you don't have credit. ā
The stranger said unhurriedly, "What are the prerequisites for my meeting before......hand? I have made a clear promise to you that as long as you are naked, I will definitely come out to meet you. On the other hand, if you're wearing it, it means that you're not really sincere, and then I won't show up. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
"Seeing that you came to the appointment on time, I thought that you had agreed to my conditions and were negotiating with sincerity, and I also thought that we could sit down and have a good talk tonight. ā
The other man continued to speak slowly, "Unfortunately, I later found out that you came in ...... clothes, and you did not have the piece of paper according to the agreed note."
Before the stranger's words fell, Xu Lei's eyes had already fallen on the white card under the glass of the dining table.
Isn't this just a photo of the reverse side up? Could it be that the other party had already done something on the table beforehand? And why didn't I see that it was a photo just now?
