Chapter 18: Friends

After the second game, it was time for lunch.

According to the progress of the competition, the third match will be played in the afternoon, so during lunch, everyone is still enthusiastic about the discussion between the top six, and Zhao Zhuo's reputation has also risen against the trend because of advancing to the top six. On the way to the restaurant, many bosses had to say a few words of greetings when passing by, Zhao Zhuo had just come out of society, and he didn't know anything about such and such a chairman, but fortunately, with Qin Xin beside him, he introduced them one by one, and he also made friends with a lot of people.

Came to the cafeteria, the greeting was over, I sandwiched some dishes, sat down and ate a few bites, Ge Fugui on the side was amazed: "Boss Wang really has a skill, it is said that this Western restaurant specially hired foreign celebrity chefs to be the chef, never accept external business, he was able to get them here, it is estimated that the Western restaurant is closed these days." ”

Qin Xin smiled: "Vice President Ge, you don't know, this restaurant is Boss Wang's industry." ”

"No wonder." Ge Fugui's face suddenly realized, and then he smiled at Zhao Zhuo and said, "Brother, what do you want to eat, I'll clip it for you." ”

Zhao Zhuo looked at him with a flattering face, and almost got goosebumps, everyone laughed, Cui Shiyan couldn't help laughing and scolded: "I said Vice President Ge, don't be so obvious, if you're worried about losing your junior brother, don't invest so much money at once." ”

Ge Fugui hurriedly said with a righteous face: "I see that my brother is too hard, help run errands, see what you say ......" Speaking of this, he smiled again, rubbed his hands and said, "Although it is nothing to lose, but of course it is better to win, so brother, you have to eat and drink well and sleep well, don't affect the performance in the afternoon." ”

Everyone laughed, but Ge Fugui also said what everyone thought, it doesn't matter if you lose, but it's better to win.

Zhao Zhuo also laughed, he was very fortunate to know these people, although they were all older than him, but the feelings were more and more precipitated in his heart.

Qin Xin suddenly said: "Speaking of sleeping well, there is a special place to rest here, Xiao Zhao, you haven't been there yet, right?" ”

"Haven't been." Zhao Zhuo shook his head while eating, he didn't stay too long every time he came to Zhongtian Club, so he naturally didn't know this.

Qin Xin pointed to the back and said: "There is also a leisure area built along the lake at the back of this club building, with a san room, a tea room, a chess room, etc., and of course, a special place to rest, anyway, there is still time before the afternoon start, I will take you to take a walk." ”

Cui Shiyan smiled and said, "Then thank you Mr. Qin, we are all stained with the light of our junior brother." ”

Ge Fugui touched Zhao Zhuo with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Then let's go to the Sanna room later?" Let the little sister pinch our bones, relax and relax, it is definitely energetic. ”

"Okay." Zhao Zhuo smiled and agreed, and after a few people finished eating, they came to the leisure area from the back door of the club, which is actually a small house, each house is built according to the specifications of the villa, and there is a name for the leisure place.

As a result, after everyone went, they found that there were a lot of people in the Sanna Pavilion, because they had to wait for a while, so Zhao Zhuo slowly walked along the lakeside path, and Qin Xin and the others were full of food and drink, and they happened to sit down on the chairs outside to chat.

The lake is tranquil and unpolluted, and on the other side of the trail are mountains that can be followed directly up to any of the trails.

Zhao Zhuo breathed in the fresh suburban air and felt refreshed, while Mo Ling became interested in the big lake, flying around on the lake, and even lying on the surface of the lake and watching the fish below.

Walking and walking, Zhao Zhuo found Jing Yao's figure.

Jing Yao was sitting on a bench on the trail at this time, hunched over, and her hand holding the vegetable leaves was stretched out.

Zhao Zhuo followed her line of sight and looked to the right, but there was a gray hare hiding in the grass not far away, poking out half of its head, its ears erect straight, staring at the vegetable leaves vigilantly, and its nose kept moving.

Zhao Zhuo looked dumbfounded, she was actually teasing the rabbit.

Jing Yao is a full queen fan, she is always as cold as iceberg, like an iceberg, who knew that she actually smiled at a rabbit, and her small mouth also gently made a sound like calling a dog.

However, how can you lure a hare over like this, these little ones are very vigilant.

Zhao Zhuo remembered that when he passed by the tea house just now, he saw a patch of alfalfa grass planted outside the hall, so he went back and picked some dry ones and walked back.

At this time, Jing Yao was still teasing the hare, but the hare was still hiding in the bushes, not taking half a step forward, and the game between one person and one rabbit did not make any progress at all.

Zhao Zhuo coughed lightly, Jing Yao immediately noticed that someone was coming, and hurriedly sat upright, his face was stained with a layer of frost, but seeing that it was Zhao Zhuo, his guard relaxed slightly.

The two have been in contact with each other a lot these days, and compared to others, Jing Yao's attitude towards Zhao Zhuo is still a little softer.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile when he saw her like a hedgehog, and threw a handful of alfalfa grass into the middle of the road.

The hare's nose shrugged suddenly, its eyes seemed to be enlarged immediately, it looked at Zhao Zhuo and Jing Yao vigilantly, and saw that the two of them were still a long distance away from the place where the alfalfa grass was, so it slowly leaned out.

Seeing that the hare actually began to move, Jing Yao was surprised, and was about to ask what the pile of grass was, but Zhao Zhuo made a boo gesture towards her, and then sat lightly on the chair.

The hare cautiously poked out, and then jumped to the alfalfa grass, opened its mouth and began to gnaw, and ate very cheerfully.

Jing Yao was surprised at this time: "What is that pile of grass?" ”

Zhao Zhuo replied with a smile: "That's alfalfa grass, neither rabbits nor hares can resist the temptation of this thing, for them, seeing alfalfa grass is like a hungry person seeing a large plate of meat, and their eyes are red." ”

The hare first looked at the two of them vigilantly while eating, but when he saw that the two of them did not move, and the taste of the alfalfa grass was too good, he buried his head and ate it vigorously, but his ears were still erected high, monitoring the surrounding sounds.

Jing Yao watched the hare eat happily, the frost on her pretty face was less than she knew it, and said softly: "Even I am a little jealous of your unforgettable eyesight, I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that you don't understand." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "I know that it likes to eat this grass not because of its memory, but because it has been raised at home." ”

"Have you ever had rabbits at home?" Jing Yao was amazed.

Zhao Zhuo saw that she rarely showed a little bit of a little daughter's posture, and said with a smile: "It's not just rabbits, what cats and dogs, I've liked it since I was a child, sometimes I see stray dogs on the road, and I take them home, but fortunately, my parents have never blamed me." ”

Jing Yao listened attentively, and subconsciously said: "You are so happy." ”

Zhao Zhuo asked rhetorically: "You must have liked small animals when you were a child, haven't you ever raised them?" ”

Jing Yao looked up at the sky, and said lightly for a while: "I didn't tell you about my family, did I?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Zhuo shook his head, since Jing Yao agreed to tutor with him, there were many opportunities for the two to meet, but the content of what they said after meeting was 100% related to jade identification, and never involved family aspects, and from Ge Fugui's chat, Zhao Zhuo also knew that Jing Yao was very jealous of his family and never talked about it.

In fact, even Jing Yao herself was a little strange, why did she suddenly bring up this topic, but she couldn't stop talking: "My family is a big family, just like a feudal society, there are many ancestral family rules, and everyone in the family must abide by them. Therefore, from the moment everyone is born, they are destined for the future path. Keeping small animals and the like can be considered playthings, so few people have the right to keep them at home. ”

"That's it......" Zhao Zhuo sighed softly, although he didn't know how big Jing Yao's family was, but just listening to it was a headache, the rules of this family were so strict that even the raising of pets was restricted, and he even understood a little bit why Jing Yao was always so indifferent, and it was estimated that this sect also had a lot to do with it.

After he sighed, he said strangely: "Jing Yao, you shouldn't be a local, right?" If the family rules are strict and everyone's roads are fixed, with Jing Yao's talents, you shouldn't be able to go to the small Huaihai City to work, right? ”

Jing Yao didn't expect that as soon as she said it casually, Zhao Zhuo actually thought of this, so she looked at him and said, "If I say that I escaped from home, do you believe it?" ”

Zhao Zhuo was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded and said, "Believe!" ”

"Why? Don't you think that's a bit of a fantasy? There are still people who have escaped from their homes in this era. Jing Yao frowned and asked.

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "Because we are friends, there are no lies between real friends." ”

"Friends?" Jing Yao was stunned, and suddenly there was a smile on her pretty face, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, even though she was lonely and lonely, she smiled and fell into the city.

Zhao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he never expected Jing Yao to be so good-looking when he smiled, and the style of that smile was so embarrassing that even the beauty of nature would be ashamed.

After a moment, Jing Yao restrained her smile, looked at Zhao Zhuo seriously, and said, "Then, you are the first friend in my life." ”

"Wouldn't it be a pleasure for me?" Zhao Zhuo smiled, but his heart was a little painful, and he almost wanted to hug her in his arms and let her feel some warmth. This seemingly iceberg-like woman seems to be unattainable, but she hasn't even had a friend for so many years, how sad is this?

Then a strong wind blew, and the hare was frightened, and turned around and ran, and in an instant disappeared into the bushes, and the remnants of the alfalfa grass were kicked and flitted.

Jing Yao saw that it was really funny when she was frightened, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and the laughter rang like a silver bell and spread far away.
