Chapter 11: Truth or Dare
Since deciding to have a plan to start a business and open a store, people have been asking Jia Yi what this plan is, Jia Yi wants to say the idea that has been holding back in her mind for many years, but she is afraid, afraid that as soon as she says it, someone will deny and question it.
She has endured this idea for so many years, and she can't be beaten back to hell by a few words from others. She cares what other people think, and she knows she cares, so she chooses not to say it, she wants to do it, yes, do it right away.
So, in the past few days, she searched for information on the Internet, and made several calls in a row to Gao Qu to ask about the store, always asking him to ask him for this and that, but Gao Qu still insisted that she say the specific content of the store opening plan, this kind of urging made Jia Yi very embarrassed, Gao Qu said: "No way, now you need BP to attract investment, by the way, you know what BP is, right?" β
He emphasized the two English letters in particular, how could Jia Yi not know the joke in his words, but she still suppressed the idea of fighting back immediately, and forced a smile and said: "I know, I know, I'll give it to you later." β
Gao Qu was a little caught off guard by Jia Yi's resignation so easily, but what was even more strange was that he didn't know how he could do such an irrelevant thing as a busy person, maybe he was really interested in what she was going to do, maybe it was ...... He's just interested in her?
Jia Yi really rushed a plan to him overnight, and Gao Qu replied in a timely manner: "Although it is sloppy, it is okay." He added: "So you're going to open a shop and get this thing!" β
It's "getting" and "stuffing" again, which makes Jia Yi very angry and very, but she still has to keep smiling!
In any case, after the plan passed, the location of the store was almost determined, and Xiao Fang, the salesman in charge of attracting investment, specially contacted Jiayi to make an appointment to see the location of the store.
Xiao Fang said: "This is the shop pΓΉ drawings, the future decoration will be carried out on this basis, there is a description on it, of course, if you have any questions about the relevant procedures for opening a store or other problems need to be solved, you can also contact us." Mr. Gao told him to give special treatment. He especially emphasized the latter sentence, wanting to imply that Jiayi's price and service were already additional preferential treatment.
But Jia Yi thought he was emphasizing her relationship with Gao Qu.
What does she have to do with Gao Qu Neng?
During this time, all the contact with Gao Qu was inseparable from the opening of the store, and only once, just a few days ago, there was something in their chat history that was not about opening a store.
He typed these words on WeChat: "Actually, you are quite like a woman I knew before." β
Jia Yi didn't ask any further, she thought she was desensitized to this kind of provocative words, don't men like this?
Naturally, there is no following.
As soon as he negotiated with Xiao Fang here, Gao Qu's phone called: "How is it?" β
"Mm-hmm, the rest is the money."
"So somebody is ready to throw money in?."
Jia Yi laughed and said, "To be honest, the money is really not ready, but I still want to thank you." β
"Gee, it looks like someone can only thank you verbally."
"What's going on? Of course, I want to invite you to dinner, I heard that there is a good Southeast Asian restaurant in this Nanbin area. β
Gao Qu flipped through the schedule at hand, and began to use his pen to find the gap in the day's schedule and prepare to write down the word "eat", he asked: "How about 8 o'clock?" See you over there. β
Jia Yi didn't think much about it, and replied briskly: "Okay, then let's do it today." β
Jia Yi rarely contacted him after moving out of Qiao Le's side, and he asked her to answer the phone greetings, Qiao Le also knew that she didn't want to talk about anything else, so she only asked about the preparations for opening the store, but she always said that with Gao Qu's help, she didn't have to worry about it for the time being, and she couldn't get rid of Gao Qu in a few words, how could he not worry? Thinking of this, Qiao Le immediately turned over the number that had been saved for a few days and looked at it countless times again and called it.
As soon as Gao Qu stopped the car and was about to wait for Jia Yi, he received a call from Qiao Le.
Qiao Le asked Jia Yi directly about opening a store.
Gao Qu responded: "Why, why do you have to ask me about your college classmates?" β
She ...... I just want to know if she's having any problems, old classmate, and want to help her. β
"No...... It's enough for me to help her, can't you trust me? Your girlfriend's cousin? β
Qiao Le knew the point he emphasized, but still continued: "I don't mean anything else, then she will ask you." He pretended to be calm, but when he hung up the phone, he was still very uncomfortable, the phone should not have been called, but he couldn't stand Jia Yi treating him like this, he leaned back in his chair in pain. With his eyes closed, his mind was full of Gao Qu's ridicule and Jia Yi's disdain, and he was like a scavenger, he held a sack, and walked and walked, back and forth, just to pick up the past he cherished.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Qu still couldn't help but be annoyed and felt sorry for Xiaoya, but he was more curious about the relationship between Qiao Le and Jia Yi, and just thinking about it, Jia Yi had already beckoned his hand and ran over.
She was wearing a red and black plaid skirt, but the random belt around her waist instantly distinguished her figure in three dimensions, with concave and convex shapes, and it was not necessarily embarrassing to have a career line if she cleaned up well. Gao Qu's constant gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "If you stare like this again, be careful that my skirt falls off." β
Here it is again, Gao Qu thought it was funny, but he just waved his hand, turned sideways, and motioned for her to go first.
Gao Qu didn't like to eat Southeast Asian food very much, he barely ate much during the meal, and he kept thinking about Qiao Le's phone call just now, so he didn't have much appetite.
Of course, Jia Yi, the guest who invited the guest, also realized, "Eh, if you don't eat, my guest will be too uninteresting." β
"Haha, it's okay with me, you can eat."
Jia Yi muttered: "I don't like to eat Southeast Asian food, so I didn't say it earlier." β
"If you're sorry, you can play a game with me."
Kayi stuffed the curry chicken into her mouth, busily swallowed, and couldn't wait to ask, "What game?" β
"Truth or Dare."
Jia Yi was choked, and hurriedly took a sip of water: "What an old-fashioned game." β
"In the current situation, you don't seem to have a choice."
"Oh well. I choose the truth. "She doesn't want to be played by Gao Qu as soon as she comes up.
Gao Qu leaned his back on the chair, his eyes narrowed, and asked with a smile, "Was your first love in college?" β
Jia Yi didn't think about it and said, "No." β
"Earlier?"
"That's the second problem."
"You answer first."
"Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as first love."
Gao Qu still chased closely: "What about not strictly speaking? β
"Not strictly speaking, a lot of people who have a good impression have gone."
"Is that ambiguous?"
She wasn't committal, of course she knew what he was coming for.
Gao Qu nodded, and shook his head suspiciously: "Do you want to sue me that you, a woman who is almost 30 years old, have never dated anyone?" β
His laughter, of course, was teasing, but it was not a dinner table joke for her, and she solemnly put down the spoon in her hand and said, "Is it a defect not to associate with people?" I don't seem to be anything less than you, do I? β
Gao Qu smiled even more happily: "Strictly speaking, it's a little less. β
Jia Yi also realized, she laughed deliberately, close to the edge of the table, the spicy curry made her lips red, she deliberately bit her lower lip, and said to Gao Qu with a charming face, "Really? It's hard to say that Mr. Gao is "many" and insignificant. β
Gao Qu was not to be outdone, he also approached Jia Yi, and the breath of his voice was straight to the face, "It's hard to say, so Miss Liang wants to verify it?" β
As he approached and said these words again, one of Jia Yi's nerves was immediately touched, and her body reacted, her cheeks flushed, her eyes dodged, and she was the first to be defeated.
Seeing this, Gao Qu leaned back even more insolently and laughed.
Jia Yi couldn't talk freely in the face of this man, and just wanted to finish his meal quickly, end this treat early and go home to sleep.
Gao Qu didn't mean to let her go in the slightest, he took a sip of water and continued: "Okay. Then here's the big adventure. β
"It's not fun." Jia Yi directly refused.
"How do you know it's not fun?"
He squinted his eyes again, smiled weirdly, and took out his phone to look up the latest call logs, and a record with only a string of numbers and no names appeared in front of him.
"Just hit the first one." He handed the phone to Jia Yi and said.
Jia Yi was puzzled, why did his contact call him, "Do you want to play the game of casual confession again?" You're so naΓ―ve. β
"Do you dare to fight?"
"Who is he who you tell me first?"
"It's not a big adventure to sue you, don't you want to give it a try? It's just a test of your mettle. β
"Well, what to say?"
Gao Qu said thoughtfully: "Hmm...... Whatever, if you're brave enough to say that you like him, it doesn't matter, it's fine. β
"Boring ......" Jia Yi put down the spoon in his hand.
Gao Qu still dialed the phone, and after a "hey" over there, Gao Qu turned on the speakerphone, he pointed the phone microphone at Jiayi, she cleared her throat, and began to say: "Hello friends on the other side of the phone, my name is Liang Jiayi, and I am very happy to meet you." β
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Jia Yi grimaced at Gao Qu.
Gao Qu was obviously not satisfied, and he moved the corners of his mouth and motioned for her to continue.
Jia Yi had no choice but to close his eyes and quickly shouted, "That...... What, I like you a lot, make a friend. β
There was finally a voice on the other end of the phone, and it was a familiar voice.
"Jiayi...... What did you just say? β
Jia Yi was shocked. It was Qiao Le on the other end of the phone, how could she have thought of it?!
What she should have thought of, from Gao Qu asking her first love, to the adventure game is to make the person who plays the game embarrassed, she should know the person on the other end of the phone to be embarrassed, besides Qiao Le, who else?
But she didn't remember Qiao Le's phone call at all during this time she came back.
Jia Yi's face was blue and white, and she said, "Qiao...... Qiao Le, it's nothing, I play games with Mr. Gao. β
But Qiao Le had already heard the words, and pierced his ears like a sharp arrow, and all those memories that echoed in his ears roared, tore, and finally disappeared.
Qiao Le didn't speak, and there was silence on both ends of the phone.
Gao Qu also realized, to be precise, that his goal had been achieved.
He turned off the speakerphone, put the phone back to his ear, and said with a smug face: "Mr. Qiao, I just played a game with Jia Yi, thank you for your cooperation, we finally had an unforgettable night." Goodbye, Mr. Joe. β
Hung up the phone, but Qiao Le still didn't come to his senses, only felt that countless thoughts came out of his broken ears, enough to roll up a storm in the dark night.
She said she liked him!
She's dating Gao Qu!
They were just playing a game with him!
β¦β¦
Jia Yi in front of him did not ease up.
There was some anger in her heart, but she held back. The most important thing at the moment is to open a store, she must not have trouble with Gao Qu at this juncture, and besides, is she the kind of person who can't afford to play? What's more, that person is Qiao Le, and it's not someone else, isn't Qiao Le easy to talk to? Yes, everything else can be said again. She secretly encouraged herself, yes, smiled hard, so that he couldn't see it, if he was angry, his goal would be achieved, he had already lost a game, and he couldn't lose again!
She picked up the water on the table, looked at Gao Qu with a smile on her face, and drank it without saying a word.
Gao Qu was also very impressed to see her so calm, raised her cup, and drank tea with her.
"I didn't think you could play until your future brother-in-law was on it?"
"Him? Maybe it's my future brother-in-law? β
"You love your sister so much, do some people say that you are a sister?"
"Love? I'm just protecting, because she's under a powerful threat. β
"Mmmm, with your escort, no problem."
"I'm not sure, after all, her opponent is a woman with good looks, good figure, and a bit of intelligence."
"If you're so uncertain, why don't you take another approach?"
"How?"
"Chase me down, I'm chasing my cousin, what is my cousin worried about?"
Gao Qu on the opposite side was really stunned.
At this time, Jia Yi smiled proudly and took the bill and beckoned the waiter to pay the bill.
Waiter: "It's 587 yuan in total." β
"Swipe your card." Jia Yi said, when he was about to hand the card to the waiter, he was preempted by Gao Qu, he handed the card in his hand to the waiter, but his eyes were still looking at her and said, "Swipe mine." β
"But I'll please."
"I think I benefited a lot from that method, and I want to pay for it."
At this time, it was her turn to be stunned, but she was still smiling, and she felt more and more that the man in front of her was really a little unpredictable, and this game really aroused her adventurous heart.
