Chapter 30: The Lost Kiss (Part I)
The man who came in was Mark.
He wore a trench coat and a light-colored checked scarf.
"Mark." Jia Yi immediately called.
Mark nodded at her, glanced at Gao Qu who was standing in front of Jia Yi, and nodded to say hello, thinking that she just had something, so he asked, "Are you busy?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Gao Qu immediately realized that this was the man who answered the phone after Jia Yi was drunk that night, and he would never forget that voice.
"Don't be busy, you can sit down first." After she finished speaking, she looked at Gao Qu again.
Gao Qu knew that Jia Yi had an appointment and should not stay longer, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity to know what the relationship between this Mark and Jia Yi was, so he asked, "Does Mr. remember me?" ”
Mark thought for a while, and soon remembered, and he smiled, "Oh, it was you." He stood up again and held out his hand to Gao Qu.
"Mr. Mark, right? It seems like this is the first time I've seen you. ”
Mark smiled and nodded.
"You're from Kayba...... Friend? Gao Qu asked,
Jia Yi was still busy making zuò drinks behind the counter, and she didn't have time to pay attention to their conversation for a while.
Mark glanced at Jia Yi's figure and replied, "Hmm." ”
Gao Qu continued to ask: "It can't be because she opened a store, right?" ”
Mark smiled and nodded.
Gao Qu laughed and said: "Me too, if you want to say that she opened a store, I still ......"
At this time, Jia Yi interrupted Gao Qu: "Mr. Gao, shouldn't you be very busy?" ”
Gao Qu had a kind of snickering joy that he finally found the clue, he walked straight to the counter, and said with a deliberately weird smile: "I'm very busy, but caring for friends is also what I should do!" ”
Jia Yi didn't respond to what he said, brought the jasmine drink to the table, lowered her body to rummage through the spoon she had just washed, and when she lifted up, the cup was already in Gao Qu's hand, he took a small sip, pointed his finger at the newly printed menu, and asked, "Is this - Yishu Innocence?" ”
Seeing that the cup was held in Gao Qu's hand, Jia Yi didn't have time to be angry and surprised, and her eyes immediately threw her eyes to Mark, who was sitting on the side and looking at the two of them, she wanted to speak and stopped, looking panicked.
When Gao Qu asked "Yishu Innocence", Jia Yi's eyes were still fixed on Mark, and she replied unusually calmly, "Yes." ”
This is her one-tree innocence, and it is also the one-tree innocence she wants to give Mark tonight.
Mark finally met her gaze, but unconsciously dodged a little, he was surprised by her expression and the last sentence, just as he was thinking to himself, he smelled a fragrance, very faint, but lingering around his nose like a ghost, he immediately realized something, but he was not sure, when he looked at Jia Yi again suspiciously, her gaze was still there, not the slightest shift.
That answer has landed!
He had to lower his head again and look sideways at the gray sky outside.
It was Jasmine, it turned out to be the Jasmine he liked.
Gao Qu was originally a spectator of the story, but he was not content to be a spectator of the story, and when he drank the drink by mistake, he witnessed the change in Jia Yi's expression—from anger to anticipation to eagerness and disappointment—and although her face was calm, her eyes were already magnificent.
He had to put the cup on the counter with great force, deliberately making the sound of the bottom of the cup touching the counter loud and loud, so that he could fit into the narrative of the story.
Jia Yi came back to her senses at this time, she looked at Gao Qu with indifferent eyes, and asked, "Are you done drinking?" That...... I'm going to wash the cup. ”
Looking at Jia Yi, who was trying his best to suppress his affection for himself, Gao Qu didn't dare to stay longer, but after turning to look at Mark, who never dared to look at her, he suddenly didn't want to be a bystander, although he was entangled in everything, although he had always disliked other people's affairs, he still squeezed into this story.
Gao Qu turned his head and leaned close to Jiayi's ear and said, "A tree is not pure, you are a rose!" Thorny. ”
Jia Yi was suddenly confused in her silent anger, and before she could figure it out, Gao Qu walked out the door.
She had no choice but to give up, took a glass of boiled water and handed it to Mark, and then she stood and looked down at him, without speaking, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she kept pursing her lips, and the words were stuffed into her mouth, but she could only swallow it back into her stomach, and so on.
He put the cup to the side, didn't drink it, sat upright and asked Jiayi, "So...... Do you have something going on today? ”
Jia Yi raised her head as if she had an epiphany, and then lowered it unconsciously, lowering it, she looked flustered, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to say, "I'll pour you a glass of water again." ”
She just wanted to take the cup away from the table, only to realize that the cup inside was full at all-boiled water, boiled water that could reflect a faint figure, not jasmine tea, she sighed.
Seeing Jia Yi so at a loss, Mark's doubts were also mixed with a trace of inexplicable uneasiness, and he said, "Jia Yi, do you mind if you mind us...... Going to eat first? ”
They went back to the old Cai Ji restaurant where the two of them had dinner last time, but this time the atmosphere was obviously different from the last time, at this time the surroundings were very lively, all the white-collar workers who had just gotten off work got together to chat loudly and drink and eat to their heart's content, so that Jiayi's table was much more dull than last time.
It was still by the window, but Jia Yi didn't look as relaxed as last time, she didn't say a word, and Mark asked, "Are you okay today?" ”
Jia Yi smiled and shook his head, then took a cup of water and turned his eyes to the window.
"That's good, but I feel that your relationship in the past two days doesn't seem to be as good as before, is it because you're too tired to open a store?"
"It's not all because of opening a store, although it is the most important thing for me now, but I am too ambitious, trying to solve too many things at once, but I didn't expect to unconsciously have to settle the new and old accounts together, I am afraid that I will not ......be able to cope with it."
Mark couldn't understand her words for a while, but he had to nod his head to listen, and then continued: "It's okay, as a friend, I'll understand." ”
Jia Yi looked up at Mark, her eyes were heavy, her eyebrows were full of desolation, but she actually raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Mark, I thank you for coming here today, not because of things in the store." I thank you for treating me as a ...... Friend. ”
When she said this, she wished that Mark would think again about the "friend" he blurted out, and maybe he could hear a different voice, and the frequency of the voice was the same as that of Cara's heart—not a friend, not just a friend.
Mark just smiled and said, "Of course we're friends." ”
It's a little better than a friend, and it's still a friend after all!
Jia Yi, who had been struggling and wandering on the edge of the cliff all day, was suddenly pushed into the abyss by a force, and all the struggles lost their meaning for a while.
But she is so eager to live! What a desire to be his one tree of innocence!
After the two finished eating, when they came out, there were already fewer pedestrians. After all, Nanbin is not a commercial street at present, and people here are almost in a hurry to go home early to enjoy warm family moments.
Jia Yi suddenly felt a little cold, she rubbed her arms, her lips twitched up and down, looking at Mark, who was staring at her, she cheered up, and pretended to smile easily.
Mark realized she was cold, so he took off his trench coat and handed it to her.
Jia Yi shook her head and said, "It's okay. Not only does she have to be strong, but she doesn't know how to accept a "friend's" concern for her, so she has to walk in front alone......
Mark hesitated, then quickly chased after her, putting his trench coat on her from behind.
Jia Yi, who was walking in front, suddenly felt a cool breeze behind her, and a huge warmth covered her, and she even felt a pair of strong hands shake it on her shoulder.
Her body was aware of the sudden physical contact on her back and shoulders before herself, and it resisted a little, but when she felt that the hands were about to slip off her shoulders and disappear little by little, she suddenly felt as if the rope of survival was about to be withdrawn in front of her eyes. So she immediately turned around and held the warm hands with great speed.
She held it, a pair of hands from the opposite sex, a rope that brought her back from the abyss to the cliff, an indication of the correct trajectory of life......
