Chapter 20: Well, Ex-Girlfriend
When the three of them sat down in the restaurant, Gao Qu cared extra about Jia Yi, not only asked the waiter to bring a glass of boiled water as soon as she sat down, but also specially found a pillow to put behind her, which made her always a little resistant. Taking advantage of Luo Ting's inattention, she poked Gao Qu with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Hey, didn't you take medicine?" What is this for? β
Gao Qu just glanced at her, and said with a smile: "As for the medicine, you can't take it now, can you eat it after you finish eating?" After saying that, he just wanted to touch Jia Yi's head, but she immediately blocked him.
Luo Ting didn't look up at them, only focused on ordering, looked at it for a while and then handed the menu to Jia Yi, but was snatched by Gao Qu, he looked at the menu, and said with a smile: "I'll help you order, just eat light when you're sick." β
Jia Yi was a little dissatisfied, and deliberately sneered: "Be light, won't you just give me a cup of white open?" β
"Of course not, salad bars and vegetable soups, oatmeal will also work, right?" Gao Qu's words were asked to Luo Ting, who was drinking water from a cup, and when he was asked, he was not surprised, and nodded slightly naturally.
It was obviously something that Jia Yi wanted to eat, but she didn't have to consider her opinion at all, she was dissatisfied, but she had already seen that Gao Qu was playing a trick of deliberately showing affection in front of Luo Ting, she really didn't want to be used, so she took advantage of Gao Qu's sudden outburst to answer the phone, and just wanted to confess, but Luo Ting opened her mouth first: "You look much stronger than you imagined?" β
"What?" Jia Yi was a little confused.
"Nothing...... It's just that you and I imagined that something is not the same. Luo Ting smiled, very calmly.
Jia Yi was still pondering her words and the meaningful smile, and the meal in front of her was eaten without a bite, and Luo Ting asked again: "What, don't you have an appetite?" β
Of course she has no appetite, these are not her favorite foods! was obviously tormented by illness but was still "ravaged" by Gao Qu with extremely light food, and she could only laugh miserably: "That's right! β
Luo Ting immediately turned into a doctor's tone and said: "It's normal to have no appetite, when you feel an appetite, when you have a cold, it's almost better." β
Jia Yi felt that the woman in front of her had a natural convincing power, her tone was steady, but powerful, her charm was like this, obviously quiet as a lake, but still people couldn't help but speculate mysteriously, the fork in her hand only focused on elegantly sending food into her slightly open lips, and she didn't feel that being stared at was something that required nervousness and discomfort, maybe people like her had long been accustomed to being secretly stared at - just like this, Gao Qu, who stood outside the door and answered the phone, His eyes never left the side of Luo Ting's face in the window.
Under Luo Ting's calm and elegant light, Jia Yi felt that it was a little dirty to become Gao Qu's "accomplice", and finally said the words that he swallowed back into his stomach several times: "Actually, Gao Qu and I, we haven't known each other for long, at most we are ordinary friends, all because of his cousin ......"
"Jiayi!"
What a coincidence!
Gao Qu didn't know when he entered the door, he interrupted Jia Yi's words, and looked at Luo Ting, she was still expressionless, as if Jia Yi said just now, she already knew, or she didn't care at all.
Jia Yi also knows how much Gao Qu's persistence is involved in this "coincidence". She actually felt a little pity for him, thinking that Gao Qu had helped herself so much after all, and it hurt his self-esteem too much to dismantle the stage in person, not to mention that now she is also very weak and weak, and she has no intention of fighting at all.
Luo Ting's maturity and calmness, Jia Yi's contradictions and entanglements and Gao Qu's obsession and infatuation, the three of them finished the meal with different moods.
Luo Ting had to go to the clinic in the afternoon, so he went back to the hospital alone. Gao Qu sent Jia Yi back to the apartment. On the way, Jia Yi didn't say much, but Gao Qu could see that she was trying to hold back.
"Tell me, there's something you want to ask." He held the steering wheel and looked shallowly, only looking ahead.
Jia Yi seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and a lot of questions were about to burst her belly, but she looked at Gao Qu with a gloomy face, but she only asked in a low voice: "She is you...... Ex-girlfriend? β
Jia Yi said the word "before" very lightly, trying not to make people feel that she wanted to emphasize the meaning of the word. But Gao Qu still heard it and said, "Well, ex-girlfriend." β
Jia Yi didn't ask any further.
Faced with her sudden silence, Gao Qu was surprised at first and said, "Don't ask?" β
Jia Yi nodded, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes in great silence. Her mind was full of Mark, and she tried to say to herself: "She must not let him become a missed landscape, she would rather bow her head and be willing to be weak, never pretend to be strong after missing it, she will never become the next Gao Qu!" β
"You don't have to think about paying back the medical expenses, you can also do me a big favor, we will both pay off."
Jia Yi sneered and said, "I'm a cure, you're just adding to your own blockage, where is the two clear......"
Gao Qu looked at her who was still closed, and couldn't help laughing a few times, and neither of them spoke again.
The starlight is deep, who in the world will not have a distant past? It's just that the people who can't let go only hang on to a few crystals, and the people who chase their dreams have already incorporated the past into the vast sea of stars.
Jia Yi returned to the apartment and happened to meet Guo Rui, he knew that she was sick because of cycling, and he was a little unhappy. Jia Yi looked at him, and also took the opportunity to deliberately exaggerate his weakness, and kept distressing: "Oh, Mark's clothes haven't been returned yet, I have a cold again, and I can't even walk, what should I do?" β
She hopes that Guo Rui can tell Mark about her cold, maybe Mark will show a little concern for her because of this. Perhaps she could open up a new opportunity to get closer to Mark.
Who knew that Guo Rui said disdainfully: "What's the matter with returning clothes?" He doesn't care. It's more important for you to take care of your body, otherwise I'll feel guilty. β
"You should be guilty, huh!" Jia Yi was secretly annoyed, it turned out that there was a reason why the simple Brother Guo was single.
Because of the cold, Jia Yi rarely went to the store, only asked Xiaoya to help follow the progress, stayed in the apartment alone, occasionally put on new products, and occasionally contacted the merchant about raw materials.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and the energetic Jia Yi suddenly rose to a great strength - it was Mark!
Guo Rui still told SΓΉ Mark the news of Jia Yi's illness, because the first thing he said was to ask her about the cold, and he told her a few more words, and he didn't forget to say sorry or something.
Gladly agreeing to everything he had told him, as if he had prescribed her some panacea, she wanted to tell SΓΉ Mark, for her room, which had been dark for days, was brightened even now because of one of his phone calls.
After talking to Mark on the phone, she jumped directly on the bed, hugged the quilt and laughed stupidly for a long time.
That night, she ordered three takeaways!
Luo Ting said, when your appetite improves, you will get a cold!
When I was waiting for takeout, the doorbell rang, thinking it was a takeaway, but when I opened the door, I found that it was Guo Rui, who was also leading a little girl wearing a blue sailor suit skirt and two braids on her head, Jia Yi almost didn't recognize that this was Xiaoyin.
It turned out that Guo Rui had just returned to the apartment and saw a rather cute-looking girl who had been hesitating outside the door, and when he asked, he knew that he was looking for Jia Yi, but he was afraid that the army and Lan Lan would rush out, so he led him upstairs.
Xiao Yin's arrival did surprise Jia Yi, but after all, she was her "creditor", and Jia Yi still respectfully invited Xiao Yin in.
"You're looking for me?" Jia Yi took a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Yin and asked.
Seeing Xiao Yin's stumbling appearance, Jia Yi was afraid that Xiao Yin would withdraw her investment, so she hurriedly took the dim sum she made herself, held Xiao Yin's hands enthusiastically, and kindly picked out a piece and handed it to her mouth.
Xiao Yin licked it lightly like a kitten, and nodded with a smile at Jia Yi. Sure enough, she was no longer restrained, and asked directly: "Qiao Le's birthday is coming, what are you going to give him?" β
Actually asked about this kind of thing, Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, she put the pastry aside, turned around and found a pillow, sat on the sofa, and said, "I don't know, I've been busy lately!" β
"And now think about it?" Xiao Yin's eyes flashed and she looked at her expectantly.
Jia Yi pretended to be thinking, and said casually, "Well, the belt!" β
Xiao Yin was a little surprised and said, "That's it? β
Jia Yi smiled, spread her hands and said helplessly, "You also know, I asked you to borrow money when I opened a store, how can I have the money to buy additional gifts for him?" β
Xiao Yin looked like she knew it in her heart, nodded, and then smiled innocently at Jia Yi: "Okay! However, Qiao Le is going to Beijing on a business trip during his birthday, and he wants to celebrate his birthday before the business trip, so he will invite you to come over then......"
"You don't want me to come over?" She looked at Xiao Yin's hesitant appearance, and remembered what she said when the two met last time.
"What's the matter with my thoughts, you're back, he'll definitely invite you over......"
"And what are you worried about?"
"Who said I'm worried, I'm just ......" Xiao Yin's face turned red instantly, her cheeks were about to bulge, and she quickly returned to normal, she muttered: "I'm just afraid that the gift will be wrong." β
"You're a real girlfriend, where do you need to compare with me?"
"Since I won't, then I'll go first......" Xiao Yin got up and wanted to leave, but Jia Yi suddenly grabbed her and asked, "Do you want to know about Qiao Le's university with me?" She wants to dispel Xiaoyin's misunderstanding of herself at one time, and she doesn't want to be the object of innocent suspicion in any relationship.
But Xiao Yin refused, and only said, "I don't want to know your past, it's not important to me at all!" She immediately brushed aside Jiayi's hand and walked straight out the door.
"Alright then, then I'm here to invite me to his birthday party today!" She looked at Xiao Yin's departing back and immediately added.
Xiao Yin didn't respond, she just hurried downstairs, but there was a clear sound of small steps in the corridor.
It's really cousins, and they're all so persistent in love, but one is obsessed with the past, and the other is obsessed with the present.
