The next day, there was no class, and I was at home, thinking about preparing for the drinking party in advance.

Although the reception is scheduled for tomorrow night, since I was invited, it was still such a grand occasion, so I naturally couldn't slack off. My grandmother was busy in the company as always, and the whole house was left to me to fiddle with.

It's just that there is a lingering feeling in my heart that maybe I should talk to Tina.

I don't know why I have such thoughts, it's very shallow but it has been lingering, without any basis, just intuitively, I think it should be.

I thought about it and picked up the phone to call Tina, but there was no answer.

At this time, Sister-in-law Zhou came into my bedroom, "Second Miss, a gentleman surnamed Si has come to look for you, and he is waiting in the living room now." ”

Si Tianzhe? How did he come?

I put down the dress in my hand, "I see, let him wait, I'll go down right away." ”

After a brief tidying up, I walked downstairs and saw from a distance that today's Si Tianzhe was wearing a well-tailored black suit, the sapphire blue shirt looked luxurious but not monotonous against the heavy black background, and the same sapphire blue cufflinks and collar buttons shone with a sharp light.

Such a tall and handsome knife-and-axe-like figure, just sitting quietly on the sofa, will make people feel elegant and charming.

I walked up to him with a smile and quipped, "The sun must be green today." ”

Strangely enough, he didn't fight back at my sarcasm, as usual, and then stabbed me with a deep look in his eyes, and his face was full of flavors that I couldn't read.

"Why......" felt a little strange, and as soon as I opened my mouth to ask, he stood up and walked up to me.

It's not too close at 20 centimeters, but I still feel that my skin is a little hot when exposed to the air.

He lowered his head and stared into my eyes, and his tone was low, "You're going to a drinking party tomorrow?" ”

I nodded.

"With the deposit?"

"Hmm."

There was another strange silence, and with such an awkward distance that was not far away, I couldn't help but ask out loud, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why?" He didn't answer the question, and in an illusion, I caught the displeasure in his eyes, and suddenly felt that he should not be in a good mood at the moment, although I don't know why.

I smiled and sat sideways on the couch, "Why not?" Please, don't forget that I still have a bet with Christina, and if I lose, I'll be forced by her to complete a task you would never have imagined, so I'm going to find a way to get the score back, at least not so easily for her to win. ”

"Really?" He turned to look at me, his expression seemed to soften slightly, "Well, what if......"

Si Tianzhe, who wanted to stop talking, made it difficult for me to get used to it, and I raised my eyebrows and looked at him inquiringly.

The rare warmth washed away the depth in his eyes, and I was in a trance for a moment, but I heard his gentle tone, low but with a hint of firmness: "Then what if, I also invite you to accompany me to the drinking party......

Suddenly, the door to the living room was slammed open, and I turned my head to see Tina standing motionless in the doorway.

I shook my head and walked over with a smile, "Sister Tina, can you not be so earth-shattering every time?" ”

She didn't speak, just stood in place, I was about to pull her, but I was surprised to find that she was soaking wet, strands of hair clinging to her scalp, looking very embarrassed.

Looking at the overwhelming rain curtain outside the window, I frowned and hurriedly pulled her in, "Why didn't you drive?" At least an umbrella should be used...... Let's go, go take a shower first, I'll get you dry clothes......"

"Xiao Yu......" She grabbed me.

"What's wrong?" Something was wrong, I looked at Tina, who was silent with her head bowed, a little uneasy.

After a while, she raised her head and pulled away a smile, but I could see that it was not a smile at all, and there was even a deep sadness overflowing from her eyes.

"Xiao Yu, you won."

"What?" The way she forced a smile made my heart tense, "What the hell is going on?" ”

She continued to laugh, but her eyes began to redden, "I lost, Xiao Yu...... Hehe, what is your wish? I'll help you make ...... happen."

"What the hell is going on, Tina, you don't want this." Grabbing her wet arm, I was a little anxious.

"Mo Xiacun likes you, Xiao Yu, what Mo Xiacun likes is your ......" When she said this, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, and tears dripped down.

I was stunned, not knowing how to react.

She jumped up and hugged me, buried her face in my shoulder, and started sobbing. Cool teardrops flowed down the open neckline into my neck, and the real touch seemed to inject the coldness into my heart.

Si Tianzhe on the side was expressionless, looking at this scene coldly, as if he had foreseen everything.

I put my arm around her shoulders and whispered, "You like him?" "It's a question, but I've guessed the answer, but I really don't know what to say other than that.

She let go of me, tears of grief spreading down her face, down her chin, and into the unknown dampness of her clothes.

This girl who was always full of energy made my heart throb with a tight ache, and I spoke, my voice hoarse, "You should have told me sooner." ”

If I had known that Tina liked him, I wouldn't have approached Moxiacun because of that damn bet, and it wouldn't have happened. But after saying this, I suddenly felt that I was so disgusted, that she was so sad, how could I still speak to her in such a tone that bordered on reproach!

"I ...... I don't know......," she cried more and more fiercely, a little silent, "at first, at first I just thought he was pretty good, and I bet with you that I had a playful attitude, but...... But when I approached him, I was unconsciously attracted to him, and I became more and more unable to extricate myself, and when I found that I had completely fallen, it was too late......"

"I thought he was different to me...... But, but, ......," she held back her crying and looked at me with hazy teary eyes, "when I found him and said that I wanted to go to the drinking party with him, he told me that he had invited you, and said ......"

"Tina, you're thinking too much," I laughed, trying to lighten my tone, "he just invited me to the party, nothing else......"

"It's true." Si Tianzhe, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and his indifferent tone couldn't hear the slightest emotion of good or bad, "He likes you." It's just that you never see other people's gaze on you. ”

He seemed to mean something else, but the only thing I had at the moment could do was to delve into any more, so I wrapped my arms around Tina's still trembling shoulders and led her upstairs to the bathroom, where the sound of running water mixed with soft sobs was gradually heard.

My chest was filled with suppressed sadness, and I wanted to do something, but I finally sighed and went downstairs.

Downstairs, I held my phone tightly, pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and secretly made up my mind to press the screen to dial.

"What are you going to do?" Si Tianzhe said strangely.

I looked down at my phone book, "Tell Mo Xiacun the truth, tell him that I actually approached him because of a joke......"

“…… He knows. ”

Si Tianzhe's words stopped me from pressing the dial button, and I looked up at him in disbelief.

"I had the recording equipment with me that day to meet Vincent Jensen about an important collaboration, and then when you talked to Christina on the phone in the car, it was recorded verbatim because of the sound insulation in the car and the recording effect of the equipment. I didn't notice it either. Later, when I was sorting out the recording of another collaboration case, I overheard your conversation. But he didn't show it until a few days ago when he told me......"

After saying these words with a calm face from beginning to end, Si Tianzhe didn't look at me anymore and turned to leave.

The whole world is in chaos.

But the only thing I know for sure is that there is one thing I have to do.

I flipped to Mo Xiacun's number, and this time I didn't dial it, but just edited a text message:

I'm sorry, I can't be with you at the reception, I'm very sorry.

Click Send. The sending was successful.

I thought about it, and then pressed the power off button, and the screen went black.

Because I was afraid that Mo Xiacun would call, I really couldn't explain it in the face of his questioning, so I was allowed to be an ostrich for a moment and escaped for a moment.
