Chapter 337: Birthday
It was almost dark, and Ling Li's gaze involuntarily fell on the reflection of the crystal lamp on the floor of the living room, slightly sleepy.
She ate too much at night, she really couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to sleep.
Xie Keer, who was sitting opposite her, observed that her eyes had begun to blink slowly, got up, and said goodbye: "I've sent you home, and I should go back too." β
Ling Li was excited, and hurriedly stood up: "Don't sit down for a while?" β
Qian Yang just brought out the fruit, and he also kept it: "Mr. Xie, eat some grapes and leave?" β
"No," he said lightly, "the car is downstairs, not a parking space, and I'm afraid that it will be towed away by the police in a while." β
"Oh," Ling Li smiled with a hint of relief, and then pulled Qian Yang up, "Let's go, let's send Mr. Xie together." β
As soon as Xie Keer said that there was no need to send it, Ling Shuang came out of the kitchen, took Qian Yang away, and said, "Help me move something to the balcony upstairs, Xiao Li, Mr. Xie, you can go down and deliver it alone." β
Ling Li was helpless, and turned around a little cramped: "Then I'll send you down." β
Xie Keer hooked the corners of his mouth, and the emotions contained in his eyebrows and eyes made Ling Li uncertain whether it was good or bad.
From upstairs to downstairs, and then to the entrance of the community, it takes five or six minutes to say only three or four sentences.
Xie Keer is not at all like a good talker on weekdays, and it is often Ling Li who feels embarrassed so he deliberately finds something to talk about.
Get in the car, close the door, start the engine, he finally smiled and waved to her: "Goodbye, you pay attention to safety." β
went downstairs to see Xie Keer, Ling Li went upstairs, opened the door and saw Ling Shuang and Qian Yangliang's sparkling eyes with obvious inquiry, she looked away with a weak heart, and did not dare to meet their eyes.
Ling Shuang would not give up easily, so she had to force her to deliberately find a topic: "Mr. Xie is gone?" β
"Hmm." Ling Li replied with one word, lowered her head and wanted to slip away.
Qian Yang grasped the timing just right, and said unhurriedly at this time: "Sister Xiao Li, here is the longan that Mr. Xie said for you, I just picked it from the sweet city orchard this morning, but it is fresh." β
After speaking, he picked up a large bag from the coffee table and handed it to Ling Li.
Ling Li rubbed her forehead a little embarrassed, took the bag, and said in a suffrage, "I'll wash the fruit." β
Hearing Ling Shuang laughing behind him: "Where does Guiyuan need to be washed." β
Ling Li couldn't hear it, rushed into the kitchen and turned on the faucet, in the sound of rushing water, the fast heartbeat just now gradually stabilized.
At the Jialing District Court, she and Ling Shuang were blocked in the court and didn't dare to go out, but it was Qian Yang and Xie Keer who relieved them.
When I came out of the court at that time, the gang of trouble-stirring aunts who bullied the weak and feared the hard suddenly surrounded them, relying on the feeling that they had to find a venue because of the large number of people.
The dozen or so Sunset Red teams with explosive combat effectiveness saw Ling Li's scalp tingle, and the picture of Zhou Xingxing scolding the water pipe uncontrollably appeared in his head.
It's a big deal for her to be deaf, even if the other party wants to do it, she is not afraid of a beating, she can resist, she can call for help, and she can sue the court afterwards, but Ling Shuang can't stand this ordeal.
Fortunately, Qian Yang and Xie Keer were in front of them.
At that time, Qian Yang took the half-bald mop that he dragged from nowhere, and stabbed it on the ground: "Who dares to move my sister's finger, see if I don't cripple her!" Women also fight! β
And Xie Keer had a thin layer of anger between his eyebrows, his eyes swept coldly over the crowd in front of him, and he raised his chin slightly: "Who will come first?" β
The tone that was so faint that it couldn't be done was more intimidating than Qian Yang's teeth and claws.
After that, it wasn't until she got out of danger that she realized that the distance from the gate of the court to the parking lot, her hand was always held by Xie Keer, and she didn't let go until she got into the car.
Ling Li thought of the picture at that time, a little annoyed, and felt that her cheeks began to heat slightly, and her mood was extremely complicated.
was grateful to him for appearing in time to save her, and was a little angry at him for using Qian Yang to get close to her.
Xie Keer obviously said that he would not come to her again until she gave him an answer, but why did he break the contract again?
Later, while she was in a daze, under Qian Yang's gag, they had dinner together - it was still the Qinshan Pavilion that Xie Keer took her to.
The same lotus room, the same delicious dishes, the difference is that there is no rain outside, and there is less smoke and rain hazy artistic conception.
However, it did not hinder Ling Li's good appetite, the four of them ordered ten dishes, and they ate cleanly.
Thinking of his uncompetitive performance at the dining table, Ling Li even wanted to screw his head off and flush it under the faucet.
Even if she didn't eat breakfast or lunch well, she was so hungry that her chest was close to her back, even if she was relaxed after the two cases were solved, it couldn't offset her guilt of eating half of the table by herself.
How can she pay back this debt? Is it really like what he said, to be able to make a personal promise?
She was distracted, and Ling Shuang came over behind her, took the fruit bowl that was already filled with a large pot of water in her hand, and pushed her away with a smile: "I'll come, you wash a longan, I'm afraid of a flood." β
Ling Li touched her somewhat hot face in embarrassment, hurriedly hid out of the kitchen, didn't dare to look at Qian Yang, and hid in the study in a daze at the computer screen under the pretext of working overtime.
I don't know how long it took, Qian Yang knocked lightly on the door of the study, and said goodbye to her loudly through the door: "Sister Xiaoli, I'm leaving." β
Ling Li came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly rushed out and hurriedly asked him, "Where do you live?" β
Qian Yang put on his backpack and smiled and showed four small white teeth: "The company has a place to live, rest assured." β
Sending Qian Yang away, Ling Li subconsciously wanted to hide again.
Ling Shuang solved the big problem in her heart today, she talked a lot more than usual, plus there was gossip sent to the door, she was still the kind she was most interested in, of course she refused to let Ling Li go easily.
She shouted to Ling Li, who wanted to escape into the room to be an ostrich, and winked at her: "How does it feel to be saved by a hero today?" β
Ling Li stomped her foot and bit her lower lip: "I'm so angry!" β
Ling Shuang didn't dare to tease her anymore, pulled her to sit down on the sofa, and began to be a lobbyist for Xie Keer seriously: "I think this Xie is always good, not only to see that you helped Qian Yang with face, but also took care of Qian Yang like that." You see, what would we have done if it weren't for him today? For the sake of being uneasy, he ran from Tiancheng to Nanxi, which was very sincere. β
Tiancheng is where Qianyang is now working, five or six hundred kilometers away from Nanxi, and the highway will take at least five hours to arrive.
Ling Li muttered uncomfortably: "Didn't he go to inspect the construction site and take Qian Yang back to Nanxi to reapply for an ID card by the way?" It's not for me, Sister Shuang, you think too much. β
Ling Shuang smiled: "Do you believe it?" A CEO, driving a luxury car, took an apprentice who drove an excavator on the construction site, went around a big circle to Nanxi to make up for his ID card, and then went back to the capital for three hours? β
Ling Li was speechless, not knowing what to refute - there was really nothing to refute, she knew that Xie Keer did it deliberately.
Thinking of this, she was a little annoyed, and muttered in a low voice: "How did he know that I was holding a court in Nanxi?" Or so happened to go to Nanxi? β
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Ling Shuang and seemed to know it, and suddenly realized who had reported it.
Sure enough, Ling Shuang sneered: "The last time Qian Yang asked me about the case, I mentioned it by the way, and told him that I was a little worried about the other party's trouble." Now that I think about it, maybe he was instructed by someone to talk to me at that time. β
The corners of Ling Li's mouth twitched.
Sure enough, she shouldn't believe that Xie Keer is really waiting honestly, she has his eyeliner buried everywhere around her, helping him secretly observe.
It was easy to get rid of Ling Shuang, who was so bitter and wanted to be old, Ling Li was finally able to hide back in the bedroom quietly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After being quiet alone, Ling Li found that she was not as angry as she expected.
Although Xie Keer did not keep his word, it was not a big mistake. Besides, today he not only relieved her, took her to eat delicious food, but also gave her enough face.
Every word and deed is very gentlemanly, so Ling Shuang will have a very good impression of him when he sees him. Besides, he didn't mention anything about the date, and it wasn't a breach of contract - in fact, she owed him again and again, how could Xie Keer be the one who went to great lengths to repay the debt?
Thinking of his half-truths and half-truths before, Ling Li suddenly thought of something.
She quickly flipped out her phone and looked at the July 27 displayed on the date, and she remembered that Xie Keer had asked her to return his date before, and it seemed that the date was set for July 29.
What else did he say at the time - July 29, his birthday?
Ling Li hesitated how to pass this level - pretending to be deaf and dumb? It seems to be very unkind, but she mainly sent it to the door to ask "whether the date is still done", and I feel that it is too stupid and embarrassing to throw myself into the net, and I am even more afraid that he will misunderstand.
Clicking on WeChat and looking at the head picture of Xie Keer's mop dog, she was undecided.
was struggling, but a bright red "1" appeared on his avatar.
It was a voice β he asked her, did she sleep?
When Ling Li hesitated whether to reply or not, and how to reply, a few words popped up in the dialog box.
"The company has arranged accommodation in Qianyang, don't worry."
My heart suddenly warmed. He can always guess her worries, and he can arrange things in advance, and he didn't even say thank you from Nanxi to just now.
She was busy typing in the dialog box: "Thank you." β
Xie Keer quickly replied: "No thanks, I also slept, I was a little tired from driving today, and I didn't want to talk much in the afternoon, also because of this." β
Ling Li suddenly remembered what Ling Shuang had told her, and was silent in her heartβXie Keer drove for nine hours today.
A trace of warmth surged in her heart, her brain was hot for a while, and her fingers typed a few words on the screen.
When she came back to her senses, she found the question in the dialog box: "Is it your birthday the day after tomorrow?" β
Ling Li regretted it and just wanted to withdraw, but Xie Keer had already sent a voice.
She nodded apprehensively, hearing a little surprise in his voice: "Do you remember? I'm so happy. β
After ten minutes, he didn't send a message, I don't know if he was sleeping.
Ling Li struggled for a while, and finally typed out a few words: "Have you slept?" β
Xie Keer replied in a few seconds: "Not yet, what?" β
Ling Li typed: "Then the day after tomorrow, I will invite you to dinner, which can be regarded as a thank you, thank you for your help and care for me these days." β
Her words were quite official, and they were the ones she had hesitated for a while β even using the polite and detached word "you."
"I please, how can I let the lady have a treat? Don't let me lose my confidence. β
He sent a voice message, and a faint joy could be heard in his voice.
She thought for a moment and continued typing: "Then I'll prepare a gift." β
"Okay." He replied decisively, and after a few seconds, another paragraph appeared in the dialog box: "It's better to eat." β
It is also accompanied by a sloppy expression.
Ling Li sneered, and a big stone in her heart gradually fell to the ground.
I took this opportunity to say thank you, and I just dealt with the previous date and what he said to ask her to give an official reply.
After a few words of chatting, Xie Keer said good night again - he was driving for too long today and was indeed a little tired, but he could see between the lines that he was happy.
The last sentence is two words "good night", with a big little yellow face and a grin.
Through the screen, Ling Li seemed to be able to see his smiling face with thin eyebrows and thin eyes.
"So be it." She muttered to herself.
Don't be afraid of anything, don't get entangled in the relationship between her and Xie Keer, just get along naturally, no desire, no hope, no hope, and no harm.
What will happen in the future, she doesn't dare to think about it, and she doesn't have the strength to think too far.
She couldn't, she kept spinning in circles.
