Five. crisis

Before taking my seat, I subconsciously observed everyone's position: the tables were arranged from east to west, Xiao Tian was sitting in the easternmost place, and Pantene was in the westernmost place. Sitting on the north side were the three of us women: I was next to Pantene's left-hand side, followed by Yu Kexin and Biqi; Across from me was a bespectacled stretch friend, and next to him was Goofy. In front of each person was a saucer, a small bowl, and a spoon in the bowl. On the right hand side of each person is a tea tray with a saucer, which is a Western-style tea set, and a metal spoon is placed in it to add sugar to the tea. This is a set of eight cups of tea, and there is exactly one teacup left. It is said that this is their habit every time they have a meal, and in Gao Fei's words, it is a combination of Chinese and Western, which is more convenient for the host to take care of.

"Can you tell us where you're from? And your identity? Shu Zhanpeng, who was wearing glasses, suddenly raised his glass and looked at me, his thin lips slightly curved upward.

What pounded my heart so hard that someone actually asked this question? This question caught me a little off guard, and for a moment of stunnedness, a trace of helplessness flashed in my heart. It's been so hard to hide it for so long, does anyone really care?

Shu Zhanpeng pushed down his glasses with his little finger and smiled: "You are really a mystery to us, so I am more curious, your background." What's wrong? Is this question difficult for you?

Pantene was very timely to relieve us, she glared at Shu Zhanpeng in disgust, and said to me with a smile, "You don't have to pay attention to him. He's a journalist and always likes to get to the bottom of things. Shu Zhanpeng, do you still want to check people's household registers? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the problem was finally covered up. I smiled and said, "This question, if necessary, you can go to our unit to check my resume, it may only disappoint you." ”

Pantene is a competent hostess who takes care of everyone diligently. And I, because I don't know them well, most of the time I am buried in hardship. Thankfully, the issue was never raised again.

It's strange that a girl like Yu Kexin, who is so arrogant, can be friends with Pantene. The two of them are completely people of two worlds. Pantene had said before that they would often party because they almost shared love, right? What are their common hobbies? I'm curious, is it sharing food?

"Oops...... How did it fall? The chopsticks in Becky's hand slipped and accidentally fell to the ground. Almost subconsciously, she went under the table to pick it up.

"Why are you so careless? Think you're a three-year-old baby? Can't even hold chopsticks for a meal? Goofy couldn't help but sneer, bending down but not moving.

I saw that Pantene's expression was a little unnatural, and when Xiao Tian took another pair of chopsticks and handed them to Bi Qi, she smiled: "Is our family going to have a guest?" I've heard the saying before that if you accidentally drop your chopsticks while eating, a guest is coming. ”

"It's been a lively day. Why don't we meet here next time? Yu Kexin interjected on the side, with a big smile on his face.

Pinkie was a little embarrassed and said, "Let me have a treat next time, right?" Whatever you say, it's my turn. ”

"Shu Zhanpeng, do you have something to say?" Yu Kexin quipped on the side, "Next time, it's your turn." Anyway, should I express it? I thought about it, next time we can go on an outing......"

"Okay, I propose, come and make a toast to our successful gathering today." Xiao Tian raised the cup in his hand and stood up.

After the sound of chairs rattling, everyone drank the cups in their hands. Just as we sat down, Becky, who was talking and laughing, shook her body slightly, and then fell backwards suddenly. He didn't wait for us to react, Xiao Tian, who was sitting at the other end, almost rushed over, and Bi Qi's outstretched hand subconsciously grabbed Yu Kexin, who was completely unaware of the situation.

"What's wrong?" We all looked at Pinkie curiously, and Pantene stood up and said, "Quick, take her to the couch first." What is the situation? ”

"Maybe I stood up suddenly, and my blood pressure couldn't keep up, right?" Goofy frowned, "How's it going?" Should I be taken to the hospital? How do you feel? ”

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy, just lie down for a while." Bi Qi said weakly, her face was very ugly, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, she said repeatedly: "Oh, I really didn't expect that I had so many situations today." You ......"

Everyone almost helped Becky to the couch, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt as if something wasn't quite right. Maybe it was because I was too nervous, so I quickly focused on Becky Pie.

At Xiao Tian's insistence, Yu Kexin and Gao Fei still followed Biqi to the hospital for examination. Because Xiao Tian was the only one who could drive, he naturally left with them. finally sent them out of the gate, and Pantene said with a worried face: "How can this be? Didn't you think Pinkie was in good health before? ”

"What's good? Don't you know that she has always been a delicate young lady? Faint at every turn, who knows if it's real or fake. Unexpectedly, Shu Zhanpeng, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke, frowning, with a little disdain on his face, "But she probably thinks this is very painful, right?" ”

"Why do you say that about Becky, not the two of you...... Do you have a crush on each other? Pantene was about to clean up the table, a big smile on her face.

Shu Zhanpeng was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud: "Me and her? Don't be funny! How can I serve someone like her? I don't have that much patience, and I don't have that much temper like you. ”

Pantene just smiled and shook her head, and didn't say anything more. I wanted to go over and help Pantene, but she kicked me out and said, "No, no." I'll just come alone. I've always handled these things myself, and I've never let anyone else interfere. ”

Standing in the kitchen, I couldn't help but marvel at Pantene's ability to be the most perfect cooker I've ever seen, spotlessly clean as far as the eye could see, everything was in order, everything was in its place, and drawers were labeled to indicate what was in each. Even if it is a model room prepared by a real estate developer, it may not be neatly cleaned up here. Every movement of Pantene seems to have been rigorously trained.
