87. Broken
Lin Shuang didn't regret saying this, but when she came back, she sat on the bed, uncomfortable and stayed awake all night.
She never forgot that moment. With the screeching sound of brakes, the car braked and stopped urgently, as if even the night wind had stopped blowing in an instant. Even if it was just his back, there was a chill that made her dare not reach out and touch it again.
At that moment, she thought that Ji Luohan would really throw herself out of the car, but he didn't say a word for a long time, and finally drove the car back to Ji's house.
Between them, distinctiveness has become a thing of the past. Why did she suffer so much because of a truth?
Sure enough, as she expected, Ji Luohan didn't even look at her before going out. Even if she took the initiative to ask if she would come back for dinner in the evening, Ji Luohan ignored it with a cold face.
Lin Shuang remembered Fang Hui's appointment, but she was afraid that Ji Luohan would cause something if she was not there when she came back at night. She didn't know what Fang Hui wanted to say, but she couldn't bear to wait for him there.
In the afternoon, she saw that the time was getting closer and closer, and she had already taken out her mobile phone to tell him that she couldn't go.
But Fang Ya suddenly came downstairs and explained that there was no need to prepare dinner, because she was going to eat out with Ji Luohan, and then went out.
Seeing this, Lin Shuang thought that it would be okay to go, so she changed her clothes and went out.
It was still that seat, Fang Hui had been waiting for Lin Shuang's arrival for a long time. He hesitated to send a text message to ask, but he was a little afraid to receive another reply like that.
He kept staring at the door of the noodle shop, looking at the faces coming in and out, full of anticipation written all on his face, and even a little restless.
Perhaps realizing that his state was a little different from normal, Fang Hui couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
He looked up at the wall clock again, and the appointed time had passed for a long time, and the figure had never appeared. He lowered his head and smiled in disbelief, and when he looked up again, he saw that the familiar person finally appeared in sight.
Lin Shuang panted and pushed the door in, and saw Fang Hui at a glance. He sat in his old seat and smiled and waved at her.
"It's a jam." Lin Shuang came over and sat down, saw that there was tea on the table, took an empty cup and poured a cup, grunted down and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said honestly, "I already want to give up halfway through the road." I really want to text you to tell you that you can't come. ”
Fang Hui looked at her intently, and took the initiative to pour her another glass: "Thank you very much for not letting me pigeon." ”
"Let's order something to eat first. Starved to death. Lin Shuang said and picked up the menu and began to study, "What do you eat?" He asked and looked at him, only to see him staring at him in a daze.
"Huh?" Fang Hui was obviously a little distracted.
"Ask you what kind of noodles you eat." Lin Shuang felt strange, but she didn't think much about it.
"You help me decide."
"I'll help you decide?" Lin Shuang inexplicably thought of Fang Yalai, and muttered in a low voice, "You brothers and sisters both have difficulty choosing, don't you?" ”
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Lin Shuang shook her head and changed the topic and asked, "Young Master, did you bring cash this time?" ”
Fang Hui smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry." Well, look over there. As he spoke, he gestured to the cash register.
Lin Shuang turned his head to look, and at a glance, he saw a sign on the cash register that could be swiped. "Heh, finally getting up to speed." She couldn't help but sigh, it hasn't been long.
It's just that she didn't expect that the owner of this noodle restaurant would personally bring the noodles and side dishes, and said to Fang Hui kindly: "Mr. Fang, you can taste the other two side dishes." I'll come back more in the future. ”
"Thank you. What's so embarrassing about that? "Fang Hui is also approachable, and there is no arrogance at all.
"Or I thank you. You're right, I should have set up a POS a long time ago. The boss smiled and said, "But you're really patient." I've said it so many times that there's no need for a small shop like ours, but you've still convinced me of this old antique. ”
Fang Hui smiled: "What about online ordering?" Have you done it? ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Business is better now than before. ”
"Isn't that great? Business is booming. ”
"Thank you, thank you. Today, I'll give you two free orders and have a good meal. ”
"Thank you, boss, then we're welcome."
"Slow down, slow down."
After seeing the boss, when Fang Hui looked at Lin Shuang again, she was looking at herself with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.
"What's wrong? What's on my face? He asked.
"Fang Hui, I can't see that you are so perverted." Lin Shuang smiled and continued to look at him.
Fang Hui didn't know why: "Where am I perverted?" ”
"You actually ran to do this boss's homework in order to be able to swipe your card here?" Lin Shuang can imagine that kind of difficult picture, "Doesn't the owner of a small noodle restaurant make a little money, and he has to be brainwashed by you?" ”
Fang Hui looked at her with a smile on his face: "That boss thought at first that I was selling credit card machines. It was only when I came the third time that he would listen to me. ”
Poof, Lin Shuang gloated: "Then what do you have to do to brainwash others?" Did someone recruit you and provoke you? ”
"Because I'm lazy. I still can't get into the habit of carrying a card without cash. Fang Hui replied confidently.
"Tsk, you're a trick show purse." Lin Shuang smiled and gave him a roll of the eyes, "It's tiring to bring cash?" Spend so much energy and time to convince other bosses that they won't be tired of installing a POS machine? You're okay with this logic, right? ”
Fang Hui handed the chopsticks to her: "Now it's convenient for me, isn't it?" And from time to time, there are free noodles to eat. ”
Lin Shuang took the chopsticks with a smile: "Okay, it's not bad that I can eat noodles." However, can you brainwash the owners of the big and small restaurants on this street or something, so that the two of us can take turns eating and eat for more than half a year. ”
"It shouldn't be too much of a problem, wait for my news." Fang Hui looked proud, lowered his head and began to eat noodles.
Lin Shuang smiled, and suddenly felt that this Fang Hui had indeed been friends with Ji Luohan, and even the thickness of this cheek had to fight. "Isn't there something to say when you call me?" She took her first bite of noodles and asked as she ate.
Fang Hui raised his head and hesitated: "When you say it when you eat noodles, it doesn't seem to be too cautious." ”
Lin Shuang laughed when she heard this: "What shocking secret are you going to say?" Still have to be cautious? I feel like I've been in a bad place lately, and all sorts of strange secrets have come at me together, and my little heart is a little overloaded. ”
Hearing her say this, the chopsticks in Fang Hui's hand also stopped, and the expression on his face was even more cautious: "What if it's indeed my secret?" ”
Lin Shuang was stunned, leaned over and lowered his voice: "You don't want to tell me, you like ...... Ji Luohan, right? ”
Fang Hui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it: "What do I like him to do?" ”
"You don't like him." Lin Shuang patted his chest and was shocked, "That's fine." The only weird secret I can think of is this. Since it's not, it's fine. No, even if you like Ji Luohan, it has nothing to do with me. ”
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh herself. It seems that the shadow left by Miao Xin in her heart still exists.
"Lin Shuang." Fang called back her name, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his expression was very cautious, "I do like a woman, so I want to ask your opinion." ”
"What do you like about women and ask me why? Wait until you like a guy and ask me. Lin Shuang replied without thinking, and looked at him even more strangely, "However, you don't have any other friends who can let you confide in such questions?" Shouldn't this kind of thing be told to a good buddy? ”
After thinking about it, he said to himself, "I forgot, you don't have any friends." Although there used to be. However, my emotional intelligence in this area is not too high, and I am afraid that it is difficult to help. ”
Fang Hui listened, slapped his head with a smile, and couldn't help muttering, "I shouldn't have made an appointment to come to this kind of place." ”
"Okay, okay, you better ask me." Lin Shuang ate happily, plus she had been suffocating in the Ji family recently, and there was no Ding Ding to quarrel with, "For the sake of this bowl of noodles, I will try my best to help you come up with ideas." But looking at your sad appearance, I guess this woman is not easy to handle, right? ”
In the next second, Fang Hui nodded in agreement: "Indeed." ”
"Is she not liking you? Or is that woman vague about you? Lin Shuang began to guess, "But based on your appearance, value, and temperament, shouldn't I dislike you?" ”
Fang Hui raised the corners of his mouth: "What do you think of me?" ”
"Good. With my critical eye, you're really good. Definitely a good partner to date. Lin Shuang gave full affirmation, "Although I think the follow-up risk of rich men is too high, I am still more optimistic about you." ”
Fang Hui felt strange how he heard this, but he still said "thank you".
"You're welcome." Lin Shuang shook his head, "Then what is your problem now?" If you like it, go after it. Don't tell me that you haven't chased a woman at your age? ”
Fang Hui suddenly didn't know how to express it: "I don't hide it from you, I'm ...... in this regard Ability...... It's a bit lacking. ”
"Won't it?" Lin Shuangcai didn't believe it, and suddenly remembered Ji Luohan, "Didn't you grow up with him since childhood?" Like him, how can the people around him have such a problem? ”
Fang Hui was stunned for a long time, and it took him a long time to react, and he affirmed helplessly: "Ji Luohan is Ji Luohan, and I am me." ”
"Okay, okay, forgive me for offending." Lin Shuang put one hand on her cheek and began to be this consultant seriously, "How old is that woman?" ”
"It's about the same as you."
"That's all adults, what's there to twist? Why don't you just ask her out for dinner and tell her that you're interested in her? You don't even have the guts to do that, do you? ”
Fang Hui nodded: "I will do this after I muster up the courage." ”
"Don't make an appointment at this noodle shop. Anyway, I also went to a place with a more romantic mood. This woman often says that it doesn't matter, but in fact, she cares so much in her heart. If you really become it in the future, she will keep talking, saying that you don't even have the heart to confess. Lin Shuang solemnly reminded.
But Fang Hui had already turned his head with a bad face, with a look of remorse.
"What are you doing? You're not going to bring her to the noodle shop, are you? Have you already been here? ”
Fang Hui didn't answer, but said: "The problem between me and her is much more serious than this. ”
"What's the problem?" Lin Shuang hurriedly began to guess again, "Oh, I know." That woman is very poor, and your family must have a gateway view. You'll have to talk to the elders in the family. You're not a big boss, so what kind of portal are you picking? ”
"It's really not because of this, it's more serious than this."
"Isn't that all there are in this emotional barrier?" I don't understand this time.
"If I say it, you have to promise not to turn your face." Fang Hui looked worried.
"What bad have you done? Hurry up and say okay? ”
Fang Hui coughed dryly twice, carefully observing her expression: "She...... They are married. ”
Why is there another junior next to her?! Lin Shuang didn't say a word, and directly killed him with his eyes: "At your level, what kind of woman do you want?" You're going to destroy other people's families? Fang replied to you......" She was so angry that she didn't know how to scold for a while.
"Her husband is not good, and she is not happy."
"If people are not doing well, you can destroy it?!" Lin Shuang almost wanted to splash all the noodles on his face, "Fang Hui!" Whatever the reason, it is immoral to destroy someone's family! I always thought you were a decent gentleman, a rare good person, but I didn't expect you to ......"
Seeing her extremely angry appearance, Fang Hui did not show the slightest embarrassment, but smiled bitterly and whispered, "Do you think I haven't struggled?" How many times have I told myself that missing is missing, and it's good to be good friends. But...... I just can't put it down. ”
Lin Shuang could feel how heavy his 'can't let go' was, and his heart softened for a while, and he didn't want to scold him anymore.
"I knew in my heart that it was impossible." Fang Hui's eyes suddenly covered with a layer of mist, "But I still want her to know...... Otherwise, I always feel that this will be the biggest regret of my life. ”
"Don't you really regret it?" Lin Shuang looked at him angrily, "What about the woman?" What is she doing to you? ”
"She doesn't know anything."
Lin Shuang sighed: "I'm really convinced of you." It's ridiculous to play with a crush at such an old age. ”
Fang Hui looked at her with a bitter smile: "It's quite ridiculous to meet the right person at the wrong time." ”
"If you really want to tell her, I won't stop you. But if you really want to think about it, wouldn't it be better not to bother? If you really say it, you may not even be able to do it as an ordinary friend. ”
"Well, I figured it out. I don't want to be a passive person anymore. A hint of firmness flashed in Fang Hui's eyes, "Lin Shuang, in fact, that ......"
At this time, Lin Shuang's mobile phone rang, and she said 'I'm sorry' and habitually took out the phone. At this time, how could Peter call? Could it be that Ji Luohan is crazy again?
She motioned to answer the phone, then cautiously walked out of the noodle shop and stood at the door to pick up the phone.
However, the voice on the other end of the phone was not Peter, but the last thing she wanted to hear at this time.
"Do you like Fang Hui?" Ji Luohan's voice was as cold as frost, which was enough to make people tremble in such a hot summer season.
Lin Shuang furrowed her brows: "What did you say?" ”
Ji Luohan snorted lightly: "Fang Hui is Fang Hui, I never know how to please a woman." However, what kind of goods is also worthy of what kind of treatment. This kind of street shop is really suitable for you. ”
"Ji Luohan." Lin Shuang listened to such an inexplicable humiliation, and wanted to scold back, but suddenly reacted and hurriedly looked around, "You spy on me? ”
"Don't you have to hurry back and see Fang Hui? I don't think his face is very good, and he seems to be a little green. ”
No, he himself is here!
Lin Shuang continued to search in disbelief, and finally saw the man standing next to the fruit stall across the street, wearing sunglasses, waving to her with a cautious smile.
"Ji Luohan, are you following me?" Lin Shuang couldn't think of it at all. Didn't this person go to dinner with Fang Ya?
"The car stopped at the intersection and turned right. I don't need to teach you, what should I do next, right? ”
"Ji Luohan, you have no right to interfere with me." Lin Shuang felt ridiculous, she didn't do anything shady behind his back, and she wasn't his little wife.
"I'll give you five minutes."
"Hello? Feed? Lin Shuang looked across the street, Ji Luohan turned around and left, it was not enough to describe it as unreasonable.
That's it, she clearly made him angry because of that big truth, and he was just using the topic to play. Thinking like this, Lin Shuang hurriedly said goodbye to Fang Hui, saying that he was in a hurry and grabbed his backpack and left.
Fang Hui was naturally confused, remembering that the most important sentence had not yet been spoken, he hesitated for a moment and still chased after him. Seeing that he was about to catch up with her in the crowd, he saw her get into a car around the corner.
And that car looks familiar, the license plate number is Ji Luohan's favorite number, his birthday.
"How so?" Fang Hui froze in place, as if he had thought of something, but he was extremely frightened.
......
Ji Luohan drove the car, and Lin Shuang sat in the passenger seat. Fortunately, there was Peter in the car, otherwise it would have been a war between the two of them.
In order to lighten the mood, Peter tried to open up various topics, for fear of getting cold. And Lin Shuang could only cooperate, and couldn't wait to sit in the back row, so that he could chat with Peter.
Without warning, Ji Luohan forced a few cars to stop, forced him to go to the far right from the middle lane, and braked sharply against the side of the road.
"Boss, don't stop." Peter stared at the large no-parking sign.
"Peter, get out of the car." Ji Luohan ignored it completely and ordered coldly.
Peter had an unresponsive expression: "Boss, didn't you say to send me ......"
"Get out of the car." Ji Luohan spoke again, and there was already a slight sadness in his voice.
"Oh." Peter pitifully pulled the door open and walked down, and watched as the car sped away again.
Lin Shuang endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back: "Wouldn't it be good if you just told me to go down?" ”
Ji Luohan looked straight ahead, kicked the accelerator and braked, and showed a provocative smile on his face: "I finally caught it, how can I be willing to let you go down?" ”
"Are you alright?" Lin Shuang's face was full of inexplicability, "What did I do?" Do you want you to arrest me? ”
"Some people just don't have ears." Ji Luohan said and honked the horn wildly.
Lin Shuang bit the corner of her lip and glared at him: "Some people have a bad memory and need to be reminded again and again!" Ji Luohan, I have nothing to do with you for a long time! You have no right to ask who I see or who I associate with. ”
"Who cares about worn shoes."
"What did you say?"
"Excited about what." Ji Luohan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I'm just worried about that Fang Hui, but he was also my friend." With his personality, if he knew that you were my Ji Luohan's broken shoes, he wouldn't be angry! ”
"Ji Luohan!" Lin Shuang couldn't bear it, "Can you give others and give yourself some respect!" ”
In front of the red light, Ji Luohan stopped suddenly, looked at her from a high ground, and returned two words: "Can't!" ”
Lin Shuang was dumbfounded, and smiled coldly: "Yes, I just like Fang Hui, I just want to be good with him, can't I?" My Lin Shuang's broken shoes can be held in the palm of my hand as a treasure by others, what a skill. ”
Hearing this, the cold light in Ji Luohan's eyes was even worse.
The two glared at each other incredibly, ignoring the beeping horn behind the car.
Finally, Ji Luohan started the car again, and said with a smile: "I'm going to hold a housewarming banquet, you can prepare it." ”
When Lin Shuang heard this, she instinctively became nervous: "What do you want?" ”
"What? Can't I invite a few friends to congratulate me on my housewarming? ”
"You're inviting Fang back, aren't you?" Lin Shuang thought about it with her toes.
"Pretty smart." Ji Luohan nodded, "He is Fang Ya's elder brother, how could he not be invited?" ”
Lin Shuang gritted her teeth and looked at him so that she would not show any panicked appearance.
She knew in her heart that the relationship between her and Ji Luohan would still be known by others sooner or later. It's just that she's been holding on to luck all along. If she had to face it, she would face it too. It's not a big deal.
Back at Ji Mansion, when Ji Luohan told Fang Ya about this decision, it was Fang Ya who was a little panicked.
"Brother Han. Are you sure you want to invite my brother? ”
Lin Shuang could see that Fang Ya was a little scared. But what's there to be afraid of? Even if the two of them have a grudge against each other, they will still maintain the superficial peace like last time, right?
"Don't worry." Ji Luohan put his arm around Fang Ya's shoulder, patted him comfortingly, and the two went upstairs.
Lin Shuang shamelessly rushed back to his room, looked at the turtles in the glass jar and became angry, pointed at them and whispered: "Who is afraid of whom!" I'm not afraid! Don't you just want me to make a fool of myself? Okay, I'll wait. I'm telling you, I never change my face! ”
She was cursing, and then she sent a text message back: Are you okay?
It's okay.
Just now, I saw you get into Ji Luohan's car. He's looking for you.
Seeing him say this, Lin Shuang thought about it and replied: It won't take long for you to know.
This one was just sent over, and she reissued another one: Fang Hui, if you can, let's be friends with that woman. Maybe that's the best.
Putting down the phone, Lin Shuang went to the kitchen to discuss with the kitchen maid about moving Qiao Yan. To be honest, she really didn't know anything about this kind of banquet or party. Fortunately, the chef had experience working as a maid in another company, so it was easy to sort out the menu.
Lin Shuang looked at the menu, inexplicably a little sad, and muttered to herself: "The main dish has been changed to braised Lin Shuang." ”
"Braised what?" The chef was somewhat inaudible.
"Nothing. Just do what you want it to do, and it looks good. Lin Shuang smiled, and then took the menu back to the room.
She picked up her phone again to take a look, and it turned out that Fang Hui had sent a text message back.
The woman I shouldn't have liked was you.
