6. Chapter VI
I couldn't figure it out, and I felt that it didn't seem good to refuse directly, Su Miaoyan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Zhan Shuxiu, you ...... Why did you suddenly think to meet me? Is there something to say on the phone? β
"Well, it's a ......little sudden," Zhan Shuxiu paused, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he still insisted, "But it's really not good to say on the phone, I still hope to meet with you and talk in detail, can you try to spare time today?" β
"Today, ......" Su Miaoyan frowned, a little hesitant, but she decided to ask first, "Is it a very important thing?" Must see you today, not another day? β
"Yes." Zhan Shuxiu first answered affirmatively, but then after thinking about it, he felt that it was not quite right, and added honestly and embarrassedly, "Uh...... It's something that's really important to me, but it may not be necessarily for you. β
Su Miaoyan was a little stunned when she heard this, and she felt a little funny when she reacted. Such an honest explanation is not important to her, is he not afraid that she will be troublesome and simply refuse? Shaking her head slightly, she smiled: "Okay, I can meet you today, but I won't be free until I get off work at six o'clock, okay?" β
Zhan Shuxiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, no problem." β
"And ......" Su Miaoyan smiled again, "Since it was you who proposed to meet first, and the matter is important to you and not to me, then naturally you will come here to see me, is it reasonable, you have no objection, right?" β
"Of course." Zhan Shuxiu smiled, "It's too much to say that you should come over." β
His laughter was as pleasant as his voice, and as a voice control, Su Miaoyan listened to it with satisfaction, and really wanted to tell him to continue laughing and talking, and not to stop...... StopοΌοΌ
Realizing that his thoughts were too loose and too prodigal, Su Miaoyan quickly came back to his senses, and said: "Then it's decided, I'll send you the address later, and you can come over directly when the time comes, and if you have any problems, you can call me again."
"yes, okay."
After everything that should be said was finished, Su Miao's voice ended happily: "Then we'll see you in the evening!" β
Zhan Shuxiu also smiled: "Well, see you in the evening." β
Su Miaoyan put down her mobile phone and was about to end the call, when she suddenly remembered a very important question, and hurriedly picked up the mobile phone again and said anxiously: "Wait!" Zhan Shuxiu, don't hang it up yet, I forgot to ask you a question! β
"Well, you say." Zhan Shuxiu is not in a hurry. He actually didn't hang up the phone at all, he had a very polite habit, and he would wait for the other party to hang up after the call, but Su Miaoyan didn't know it.
"That...... Are you the only one who is here, or is there someone else with you? Su Miaoyan asked.
Zhan Shuxiu replied affirmatively: "It's just me." β
Oh, that's good. Su Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief: "I know." β
"What about you?" Zhan Shuxiu said suddenly.
"Me?" Su Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled when she reacted, "I'm also alone." Don't worry, I won't take anyone there. β
"Well, that's good." Zhan Shuxiu said solemnly, "We can't let the third person know about this when we met. β
Su Miaoyan: "......"
Mr. Zhan, how shady is this? Sounds mysterious and scary, okay? I wouldn't want to meet you if you said that, okay?
Su Miaoyan put down the phone to end the call, closed her eyes and leaned on the back of the sofa chair, and reached out to hammer her forehead. Insomnia last night and staying up late can basically be regarded as not sleeping, and her spirit and state today are very bad, and her brain is so dizzy that she wants to sleep when she sits down. However, she has been transferred to the morning shift today, and another minister will be on duty for the next half month, so she no longer has to worry about what suddenly happened in the hotel in the middle of the night and she needs to rush over to deal with it, so she can turn off the phone and sleep peacefully.
According to the plan, she was indeed ready to go to eat and take a shower immediately after getting off work, and then turned off her mobile phone, and directly lay on the bed wrapped in a quilt to support her corpse, and Meimei slept until she woke up naturally the next morning...... Ah, how perfect!
Right now......
Su Miaoyan opened his eyes, looked at the white ceiling on the top, and crossed three bold characters in his mind - it has been soaked! -
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Su Miaoyan got off work at a pinch, and after going home to change out of her work uniform, she hurried to meet Zhan Shuxiu. Zhan Shuxiu had arrived fifteen minutes ago, she asked him to wait at the tea restaurant not far from the hotel first, she would go directly after work, Zhan Shuxiu responded.
Su Miaoyan pushed open the door of the restaurant familiarly, and the waiter immediately stepped forward to ask, she waved her hand to say no, her friend was inside. Passing the waiter, Su Miaoyan searched around the restaurant, but did not see anyone who met Zhan Shu's appearance and conditions.
He must have been in the wrong place, right? Su Miaoyan took out his mobile phone and dialed his number while wondering, and the ringtone only rang once, Zhan Shuxiu picked it up, and quickly asked, "Su Miaoyan, have you arrived?" β
"Well, I'm here." Su Miaoyan responded, looked around the restaurant again, and said, "But I didn't see you!" I'm in the dining area of Zone F, wearing a black sports jacket with dark red sleeves, and I'm standing on my phone talking on the phone, do you see me? β
"No, I'm in private room A." Zhan Shuxiu said lightly.
Su Miaoyan: "...... Oh. β
It's just a meal for two people to meet, do you need to go to a big private room with minimum consumption requirements? Aren't there a lot of two-, four-, and six-seater empty outside?!
"There were a lot of people outside, and it was inconvenient to talk, so I chose a private room." Zhan Shuxiu added apologetically, "I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry." β
ββ¦β¦ Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a different place and table to eat, you wait, I'll go in right away, hang up first. β
As soon as the phone hung up and the smile was closed, Su Miaoyan finally determined that Zhan Shuxiu's "I can't let a third person know about this" was really not a joke, it was really mysterious, and it was really light.
But what the hell is going on? I don't even want to leak a little bit on the phone, tsk!
The restaurant occupies a large area and is divided into two floors. On the first floor, there is a kitchen, bar, cash register and a basic dining area, while on the second floor there is a private room and several pure chess and card rooms. Su Miaoyan and her friends have come here to eat a lot of times, but they are all on the first floor, they have never entered a private room, and they have never gone up to the second floor, and today is the first time. As soon as she climbed the stairs to the second floor, a waitress greeted her. She just wanted to ask the waiter where the private room A was, when she saw that in the direction of her right, a young man with a slender figure and a handsome face was looking at her for a moment, with a warm smile on his lips, his posture and appearance were all downright and generous, and his voice was clear and pleasant: "Su Miaoyan." β
Su Miaoyan was stunned, and forgot to reply for a while.
The waiter glanced at Zhan Shuxiu and asked Su Miaoyan, who was silent, "Hello, are you together?" β
"Huh?" Su Miaoyan was stunned, and the waiter repeated it again, and she subconsciously replied, "Oh, yes, we are together." As soon as the words came out, she felt that something was wrong, thought about it and quickly added: "We are friends." β
The waiter was also humorous, blinked, and said with a smile: "Did you still miss the word 'man and woman'?" β
"Huh?" Su Miaoyan looked at Zhan Shuxiu who was about to greet him, and when he heard the waiter's words, he was distracted again, "No, I didn't miss ......."
At a sudden moment, Su Miaoyan made a big red face, and suddenly stared at the young waiter who pretended to be innocent in front of him with some embarrassment, and said angrily: "No, we are very CJ, C~J, that is, pure, we are very pure~ friends, you know?" β
"Oh, got it." The waiter was very serious and strict, but the next second, he covered his mouth as if he had collapsed and couldn't stop laughing at all, and he also laughed with Su Miaoyan all the way to Zhan Shuxiu before biting his lip and barely stopping.
Su Miaoyan: "......"
Zhan Shuxiu just glanced at the waiter, didn't say anything, and then fell on Su Miaoyan with a shallow smile.
Because of the fact that he greeted her just now but didn't respond, Su Miaoyan was a little embarrassed and felt a little embarrassed, but she still cheered up and naturally greeted him and smiled: "Hey, Zhan Shuxiu, let you wait for a long time." β
"No, I've only just arrived." Zhanshu said, "Private room A is here, let's go in!" β
The two entered the private room and sat down. Su Miaoyan didn't come, and Zhan Shuxiu didn't order first, but now that the two of them have arrived, the waiter brought the menu again. Because he had come to eat, Su Miaoyan didn't look at the menu, and casually read out a few dishes he loved to eat. After cooking herself, she turned her head and explained and recommended to Zhan Shuxiu, and it didn't take much time for both of them to order. The waiter made a note and asked the two to wait for a while, then picked up the menu and politely went out.
This time, there were only two people left in the private room, Su Miaoyan and Zhan Shuxiu.
Two elementary school classmates, who haven't seen each other for more than ten years after graduation, only chatted on WeChat once today, talked on the phone twice, and just met with two people who are now going to sit down to eat face to face together.
It's a bit like two strange men and women going to a restaurant for dinner and going on a blind date, but without the matchmaker and the parents and relatives of both parties.
Su Miaoyan smiled, this thought just flashed in her mind, and the next second she heard Zhan Shuxiu say: "You seem to be familiar with the dishes in this restaurant, do you often come here to eat?" β
"No," Su Miaoyan replied while subconsciously looking at Zhan Shuxiu, but after meeting his eyes, she lowered her eyes embarrassedly to avoid his gaze, "My friends occasionally come here, sometimes they are too lazy to do it themselves and don't want to go far away, so we will come here to eat, not very often." Moreover, when we came, we all ate on the first floor, and we never entered the private room or went up to the second floor. β
"Really?" Zhan Shuxiu smiled, "Then I, an outsider, have tasted it before you, a local." β
"yes." Su Miaoyan responded, turned her head and looked around at the design and furnishings in the private room, and couldn't help but praise, "LCD TV, refrigerator, vertical cabinet air conditioner, automatic mahjong machine, sofa chairs, green plants, and a separate bathroom, if you can live in a bed again, how can it still be like a place to eat?" β
Zhan Shuxiu also looked around with her gaze, but when he heard her words, he just hooked his lips and was noncommittal. His eyes fell on the neatly arranged tableware in front of her, Zhan Shuxiu said politely and gentlemanly: "When the food is served, I'll help you scald the dishes and chopsticks with boiling water first!" β
With that, he stretched out his hand to get the tableware in front of Su Miaoyan.
Huh?!
Su Miaoyan, who was still observing the surroundings of the private room, was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and stretched out his hand to stop: "No, no, I'll just come by myself, you put it down!" β
"It's okay, it'll be scalded soon."
"I know, but I'd better let me do it myself, and I won't bother you."
Zhan Shuxiu has a lot of strength, but he refuses to let go. Su Miaoyan couldn't grab it, so she didn't grab the dishes and chopsticks in a hurry, her hand loosened and turned, and she grabbed it directly in the direction of Zhan Shuxiu's wrist......
Caught it!!
Zhan Shuxiu was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.
Su Miaoyan was also stunned, and then met his eyes...... The next second, she immediately let go of his wrist like an electric shock, returned to the chair and sat upright, her fingers clenched, and her heart was both annoyed and "plopping" and jumping.
Zhan Shuxiu looked at her for a while, and then looked down at the place where she had just been held, and there seemed to be a warm touch of her palm on it...... His eyes dimmed, Zhan Shuxiu put away his thoughts, didn't say anything, and continued to take her dishes casually, and slowly scalded them with boiling water, as if nothing had happened just now.
Su Miaoyan stabilized her feelings, and after calming down, she apologized to Zhan Shuxiu: "Zhan Shuxiu, I'm sorry, just now I just wanted to snatch the dishes back, not on ...... purpose."
"Well, I know, you don't have to explain." Zhan Shuxiu interrupted her and joked, "If you want to be deliberate, it should be me deliberate, but unfortunately I didn't take the opportunity." β
At the end, I sighed regretfully.
"What?!" Su Miaoyan couldn't cry or laugh, "You don't need to sigh!" β
Zhan Shuxiu just turned his head and threw her a small look, smiled, then turned his head and poured a cup of tea from a freshly scalded teacup with boiling water and handed it to her, saying, "I didn't grasp the opportunity just now, now you don't refuse me this opportunity to be courteous, drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst!" β
What else does Su Miaoyan not understand. It's not that he didn't grasp the opportunity, and it's not that he is courteous, he just doesn't want her to mind, and he takes the little episode just now to heart, so he deliberately said this to resolve the embarrassment between the two.
"Thank you."
Su Miaoyan took the tea he handed over and said sincerely.
Zhan Shuxiu smiled: "It's nothing. β
The meals ordered by the two began to serve one after another, and the atmosphere down there has always been good, eating, chatting, and joking, and the atmosphere is neither dull nor embarrassing. When Su Miaoyan was almost full, he finally remembered that Zhan Shuxiu said that he had something very important to talk to her, but he hadn't mentioned it to her after meeting him for so long, could he have forgotten?
Thinking of this, Su Miaoyan took the initiative to say: "Zhan Shuxiu, you said that you have something very important to talk to me about when you meet, what is it?" β
Hearing this, Zhan Shu repaired the action of picking up the vegetables, and then he put the chopsticks back on the plate and put them away, and said in a low voice: "Well, I have something I want to ask you for a favor." β
"Help?" Su Miaoyan felt a little surprised and fresh, and smiled indifferently, "What can I do to help you with the big designer?" β
A hint of hesitation flashed on Zhan Shuxiu's face, and after hesitating for a while, he still said clearly and slowly: "I want to ask you to marry me." β
