Chapter 34: The Gift

Jingzhi hesitated for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help asking, "Hey...... Do you ...... Is it a repeater? I kept repeating "Jane Eyre" ...... "Jane Eyre......"

"Me? Repeater? Haha......" Jason couldn't hold back this time and laughed again, "Sorry......" he quickly stopped laughing, and continued with a "straight face", "I didn't mean to...... I'm just thinking about the question: what kind of female Ph.D. in science would like to read a British-style romance novel like Jane Eyre...... I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out......"

"You ......" Jingzhi felt a little embarrassed, and was about to say something to "refute" the "self-righteous" young man in front of her, but suddenly remembered what he had just said, and asked suspiciously: "How do you know that I studied science, not liberal arts?" Also, how do you know I'm a PhD? ”

"Ah, this ......" Jason was asked, speechless. He hesitated for a few seconds and then hesitated, "This ...... I...... I...... I...... Belch...... Be...... It was Florence who told me! Right, right! It's Florence! ”

β€œFlorence? What did she tell you? Jingzhi was surprised to say Florence's name and asked in disbelief, "She told you that I'm a science student?" And a female doctor? ”

"Yes, yes, she told me. She was writing a paper on Chinese and foreign musical art, and asked me something about our Chinese classical music. As for me, I am only a shallow learner, and I definitely can't answer, so I suggested that she ask other Chinese people she knows. I thought of you, and thought maybe you would understand something, so I suggested that she consult you. However, she immediately told me that although you are a female doctor and very knowledgeable, you are a science student, and you probably don't know much about some of the issues of Chinese classical music. That's ......"

After listening to Jason's explanation, Jingzhi relaxed her vigilance a little and said, "Alas, she asked earlier, I'm still quite interested in Chinese classical music, maybe I can know something!" ”

"Huh? Did you know? Jason asked curiously.

Now it was Jason's turn to be surprised. His eyes were full of light, and he said with a smile, "Okay...... She's still busy, though...... When she's free, let her come to you to discuss, maybe you can really help, maybe ......"

Hearing Jason play a round for himself like this, Jingzhi's emotions can be regarded as completely calm. Even she wondered why she, who has always been "self-proclaimed and steady", has such a big mood swing today......

Jingzhi took a deep breath and said calmly, "Florence is so busy, but you still have time to stay, stay here and chat with me." You...... Don't help her? ”

"You're right," Jason nodded sheepishly, "I shouldn't have left her alone, I should have helped her ......" he said, blinking his right eye, "We'll talk later!" ”

Jingzhi is completely confused about Jason. Now the shop is so busy, only he and Florence are two waiters to take care of the customers. This Jason, who is still thinking about chatting with her as a guest, is such a strange person!

After Jason left, Jingzhi sat alone, engrossed in reading the novel in her hand: Jane Eyre by the British writer Charlotte BrontΓ«.

After a long time, the guests in the restaurant left one after another, and only a few tables of guests remained, still sitting on chairs and chatting leisurely.

Jingzhi had been having lunch for a while, and was thinking about what to order again. She had been feeling a little thirsty since then.

At this moment, a funnel-shaped glass suddenly appeared in front of Jingzhi.

On one side of the glass is a handle that is also made of glass. Someone held the handle in one hand and placed the glass firmly on the dining table in front of Jingzhi.

The glass was filled with the mixed liquid, with a clear dividing line in the middle. In general, the upper layer of light pink liquid is very clear, and the lower layer of dark purple and dark red liquid is mixed together, and it looks very cloudy.

"What is this?" Jingzhi raised her head and asked suspiciously.

"A gift for you...... I would like to formally apologize to you for my reckless behavior......" Jason said with a meaningful smile.

Jingzhi was very surprised, and asked suspiciously, "For me?" Gift? ”

Jason, who still had a mischievous smile on his face, said with a little excitement, "Yes! A gift for you! I made it myself! Drink and see! ”

Jason's words surprised Jingzhi even more. She didn't think about how to respond to Jason for a while, so she continued to ask him, "Why did you give me this?" This one...... Be...... What the? ”

"This is a drink I made for you." As he spoke, Jason raised his right index finger and shook it gently in front of his chest, "Don't worry, you can drink without alcohol." ”

"......" Jingzhi is very conflicted now, and she doesn't know what to say, so she has to be silent.

Seeing that Jingzhi had not spoken, Jason had no choice but to bow shallowly with apologies, and said softly: "I apologize to you again for my rude behavior just now." If you really don't mind, please accept my apology gift. ”

Jason's conversation was very gentlemanly, and his demeanor was quite elegant, which made Jingzhi suddenly start to doubt again, how could a young man with outstanding looks and extraordinary conversation like him be willing to be an ordinary waiter in such a small Chinese restaurant......

Jason's words suddenly made Jingzhi feel a lot more relaxed. Since it was a gift of apology, she could gladly accept it. Thinking of this, Jingzhi laughed happily and said, "Ha! It looks delicious! After saying that, she took a small sip and praised, "Awesome! I've never had such a delicious drink! ”

"If you like it!" Jason said shyly, his cheeks flushing slightly.

"Of course I do! Thank you! Jingzhi looked like a little girl who had just received a toy from her companion and laughed happily.

Jingzhi's sudden good mood made Jason overjoyed. He subconsciously touched the back of his head and said, "Okay...... If you like it! That...... I'm going to get busy first...... Right...... Florence must be too busy to do it alone...... I'm going to get busy first......"

Jingzhi wanted to talk to Jason about something, but he suddenly wanted to leave, so she had to say to him in disappointment, "Well, you're busy...... I'll just ...... Don't bother you......"

Although the store is not too busy at this time, Florence can handle it alone. Jason's presence made her feel more relaxed.

Jingzhi sat there alone, slowly tasting the "mixture" in the cup. The sweet and sour taste made her feel relaxed and happy. At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: sitting here reading and passing the time this afternoon freely was really the wisest decision she had ever made in her life!

After a while, Florence walked over and asked Jingzhi if she needed something else.

Jingzhi nodded repeatedly.

Florence hurriedly handed her the menu for afternoon tea.

Jingzhi looked at the drink column of the afternoon tea, and wanted to order another drink that Jason had just delivered. However, she didn't know the name of the drink, so she raised her head and asked softly, "What is the name of this drink?" With that, she raised her hand and pointed to the glass on the table.
