To say that Whelan doesn't want to meet Zhan Xiaohang is nonsense. Anyway, they are also old classmates who have been together for four years, and Zhan Xiaohang has a very good impression of Whelan. He is at the top of his class, has a strong ability to work, has a good relationship with his classmates, is helpful, and treats people very generously, so to speak, there is almost nothing that dissatisfies Whelan. With such a person, how could Whelan not want to meet!

But if you want to say that she has a relationship with Zhan Xiaohang, Whelan has not yet made up her mind. This is not because she has any opinions about Zhan Xiaohang, but because after experiencing an emotional blow, she has become more cautious. She doesn't want to be in a relationship with someone so quickly, she has to observe and understand it well, and then confirm a relationship with someone. She didn't want to go through a second blow because she chose the wrong person.

On this day at work, Whelan has been thinking about a question: how to answer Zhan Xiaohang when he proposed to establish a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. This answer can neither hurt nor reject the other person; Neither can the other party lose confidence, nor can the other party think that it is him. How can you answer this question?

Whelan thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was better to say it from herself, so she said that her mood had not yet adjusted, and she didn't want to be sure of falling in love with anyone at this time. However, it is easy for the other party to understand that this is a polite statement, so it is not a rhetoric to explain to the other party, it is simply a matter of one's own mood.

When he was about to get off work, Huilan received a call from Zhan Xiaohang, saying that they would meet at the gate of Jiangsu Mansion at half past six, and then go to a nearby roast duck restaurant for dinner. Originally, it was said that it was Whelan to invite guests, but Zhan Xiaohang didn't agree, saying that the first time it was a treat, it had to be a man's treat. It's better to be respectful than to obey, and Whelan agreed.

After getting off work, Huilan took a taxi for twenty-five minutes and arrived at the gate of Jiangsu Building, and before she got out of the car, Zhan Xiaohang saw her. As soon as the taxi stopped, he came up and opened the door and said, "You came on time!" ”

Whelan got out of the car with a smile and said, "It's also a god today, there is basically no traffic jam all the way, so I was able to arrive on time." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, "Pull a hand!" Zhan Xiaohang stretched out his hand and shook Whelan's hand. Is there any change in my hand? Whelan remembered shaking hands with him before.

Zhan Xiaohang smiled embarrassedly: "It doesn't seem to have changed much, it's still so soft and blessed hands!" He joked again.

"A lot of people say that," Whelan said, looking ahead, "but in fact I don't seem to see much blessing, and I have met with bad luck." He shook his head again.

"Some things seem to be bad luck on the surface, but when you look back on them, you realize that it is a blessing." Zhan Xiaohang looked at Whelan, "Let's say you and Yu Wenkang!" It seems to be unlucky to blow it, maybe it was you who left him to avoid a plague god and avoid the impact on your health, isn't it a blessing! ”

Hearing this, Whelan's eyes lit up, and he pondered for a while and said, "It's the first time I've heard this statement of yours, and it's very well said, which makes me feel suddenly enlightened." ”

"That's true! Many things cannot be seen only from the perspective of the present, but must be seen from the perspective of development in order to see its true meaning. If you look at it now, it might be a mess. Zhan Xiaohang seems to have said a truth, a thought-provoking truth.

Whelan felt that this sentence carried a lot of weight and said it in his heart. When many things can't be seen through with the current eyes, you might as well look at them with the eyes of development, and maybe you can see them at a glance. She glanced at Zhan Xiaohang and said, "No wonder you got a full score in your philosophy class, it seems that you really studied well!" Then he added, "It's a great job, too!" ”

Zhan Xiaohang laughed and said, "Let's go!" Then he reached out and pointed forward, "Right ahead." Fifty meters away, there was a sign standing on the façade of the house, which read: Beizhou Roast Duck Shop. So they went on together.

Walking into the door of the roast duck shop, there was a large hall, which seemed to be very lively, dozens of large and small tables were almost full, and there was a double table in one corner of the room, which happened to be empty, so they walked over and sat down. A waitress came over and smiled and asked, "What do you order?" ”

The two were polite, and Zhan Xiaohang said: "Half a roast duck, a plate of fried small yellow croaker, a mushu meat, a celery peanut rice, and two cases of sea cucumber soup." He looked at Whelan and asked, "Would you like to have some beer?" Whelan nodded, and he continued, "Two bottles of Peking Beer." The waitress repeated the name of the dish and left.

"These dishes are well ordered, and it seems that you haven't forgotten the taste I like." Whelan complimented with a smile, and she seemed to remember the time when everyone ate together at the restaurant at school.

"You can forget this! Four years together is not short! Zhan Xiaohang was very emotional. As he spoke, he took out a small red box from the inside pocket of his jacket, solemnly stretched out his hands to Whelan, and said, "When we met for the first time after graduation, I brought you a small gift, a little heart." ”

Whelan was a little surprised, and said embarrassedly: "There are also small gifts, you are so thoughtful!" She really didn't know what to say, and she was even more embarrassed to decline, so she had to take the little red box, and then flip open the lid: "Yo! So beautiful! She saw a bracelet of red beads.

"This is a red bean bracelet, that is, acacia beans, and it can also ward off evil spirits!" Zhan Xiaohang explained, "I want it to bless you from evil spirits and be safe every day." ”

"This gift you chose is really good, it not only expresses the emotion of lovesickness, but also drives away the evil spirit around me, and the meaning is very deep." Whelan took out the red bean bracelet and put it on his left wrist, stretched out his arm and looked at it, "It's so beautiful!" She looked at Zhan Xiaohang, "It's still the squad leader who thinks about me, then I'll accept it, thank you!" ”

"No thanks!" Zhan Xiaohang waved his hand, "When I came, I wanted to buy you a small gift, and I thought about it for a long time before I chose this." I think you just ran into troubles as soon as you graduated, or the evil spirit around you is too heavy, so I want to use this red beanie to exorcise evil spirits for you, this thing is very spiritual, and the evil spirit will definitely leave you from now on! He saw the Buddha of Peace hanging around Whelan's neck and said, "You have a Buddha of Peace around your neck, and if you carry an acacia skewer to ward off evil spirits, it is equivalent to getting a double insurance, and you will definitely be fine in the future!" ”

"You are really my good friend, you saw me in trouble, and you tried to help me, I am really grateful to you!" Whelan was a little excited, and her eyes sparkled.

"That Peace Buddha pendant was also given by a friend, right?" Zhan Xiaohang asked.

Whelan nodded and said, "It was given by my life-saving benefactor, and he hoped that the Buddha would bless me with peace and security, so I have been wearing it all the time." She looked at the red bean skewers in her hand again, "I always wear this, bless me from evil spirits, and at the same time I can always think of you." "She speaks very well.

Two cases of sea cucumber soup were served, and the two drank and chatted slowly. Whelan has been waiting for him to talk about making friends, but Zhan Xiaohang didn't say it at all, just talked about it all over the world, or the classmates in the class, and didn't even ask about her and Yu Wenkang. She knows that the class leader has always been very careful when speaking, saying what should be said, and not saying what should not be said; Ask what should be asked, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, and talk and do things in place.
