"At the latest, I'll go home at half past nine." After that, he went to square dance with his good sister.

Dong Jiu glanced at the time, it was six and ten o'clock, and there were still three hours and twenty minutes before half past nine, which was enough.

"Roger, thank you, Auntie." After Dong Jiu said this, he saw this aunt walking towards the square dance pile.

"Laugh and let's go." Dong Jiu shouted Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Don't do anything that people misunderstand, okay?" Xu Xiaoxiao said angrily.

"Okay, okay, listen to you, not next time." Although Dong Jiu said in his mouth that he would not be next time, he didn't think so in his heart.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao still chose to forgive Dong Jiu, thinking of what the neighbor said to go home earlier, a little shyness welled up in her heart.

How to say it, she knows that Dong Jiu is not that kind of person, he gives people a unique sense of security, Xu Xiaoxiao likes this sense of security very much, these days Dong Jiu has protected her very well, and Dong Jiu will appear on the road every day when she goes home, and she will accompany her to the door of the community before leaving, and the two of them have not spoken all the way.

That's when the feelings heat up.

Girls always want to be protected, and Dong Jiu has done it, and will take care of her feelings everywhere, Dong Jiu is really good... I don't know which girl will marry him in the future, so happy.

"Let's go." Dong Jiu urged.

"Okay." Xu Xiaoxiao stopped her thoughts, and if she thought about it again, maybe she would want to talk to Dong Jiu about a love without breaking up.

After getting into the car, Xu Xiaoxiao looked out the window, feeling a faint pain in her heart, those words of love Dong Jiu didn't mention it to her again, it must be because of the freshness, ready to be friends

Actually, that's pretty good.

But what Dong Jiu thought was that Xu Xiaoxiao said that he was joking that day, so he had to use his actions to prove that he was not joking, but it seemed that there were some failures, Xu Xiaoxiao still didn't believe it.

The scenery by the window of the car regressed all the way, fortunately Xu Xiaoxiao made up for sleep at noon, otherwise he would be a little sleepy sitting in this car.

"Where are we going to eat?" Xu Xiaoxiao found a topic and said that it was too quiet in the car.

There was an ambiguous atmosphere that came out, and Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it.

"How about going for a barbecue?" Dong Jiu has never eaten barbecue with Xu Xiaoxiao, and he has already eaten hot pot yesterday, so it is even more impossible to choose hot pot.

"Yes." Xu Xiaoxiao was a little moved when she thought of the oily barbecue, and immediately agreed.

The atmosphere in the car gradually became lively, Dong Jiu didn't speak because he was driving, talking to Xu Xiaoxiao really affected his brain, and he was still preparing how to confess to Xu Xiaoxiao for a while.

Soon the car arrived at its destination, Dong Jiu got out of the car first, came to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, and opened the car door for Xu Xiaoxiao.

As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao's seat belt was unfastened, the car door had already opened, and she smiled at Dong Jiu, these details are very common in life, but she has experienced it for the first time, and her heart is a little warm.

When Xu Xiaoxiao came out, Dong Jiu put his hand back on it, in order to avoid Xu Xiaoxiao accidentally bumping into it when he came out, it would hurt.

This detail really made Xu Xiaoxiao feel loved, but Dong Jiu didn't mention it, and she didn't want to mention it.

Dong Jiu and Xu Xiaoxiao entered the barbecue restaurant together.

The name of this restaurant is Momo Barbecue, and it sounds a little cute.

"Welcome, two inside, please." The waiter saw the two of them coming, and they were not stupid, but they were rich masters, and they came up and led them to a good place.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they then handed the menu to Dong Jiu, "May I ask what do you two need?" ”

Dong Jiu didn't take it, but pointed at Xu Xiaoxiao and said, "Give it to her, let her order first." ”

When the waiter heard this, he handed over the menu in his hand to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, took the menu from the waiter's hand, and glanced at it casually.

However, her heart is very complicated, although there have been times when she has been alone with Dong Jiu, but for some reason there are some deer in her heart, she has never felt this way before.

A series of dishes such as chicken wings in secret sauce, signature pork belly, signature beef, and crab chops came into view, and Xu Xiaoxiao had to calm down and order.

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished laughing, Dong Jiu took a look, and after adding two servings of tender Japanese tofu and enoki mushrooms, he handed them to the waiter.

"How did you come up with the idea of asking me out?" Xu Xiaoxiao was still a little surprised.

Dong Jiu pays great attention to details, and it is often those details that make her heart beat again and again, very clear, and move her.

"I miss you." Dong Jiu glanced up at her and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed slightly, she didn't want to listen to such nice words.

"Eh, don't frown, there must be something important to ask you out." Dong Jiu saw Xu Xiaoxiao frowning, and couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Dong Jiu asked her out for something? What can he do, what else can he say seriously besides Zhuang Wanyi's incident?

Xu Xiaoxiao obviously didn't believe it, so she didn't speak, wanting to hear what Dong Jiu would say next.

Dong Jiu saw that Xu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but his expression became more and more solemn, which made Xu Xiaoxiao feel the importance of this matter.

"Smile, promise me one thing." Dong Jiu's voice was also a little more stable than usual.

"What's the matter?" Xu Xiaoxiao was still a little wary, she was afraid that Dong Jiu would pit her, so she still asked this sentence.

"You promise me first." Dong Jiu is still persistent.

"After hearing this, don't leave me."

Dong Jiu continued.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, but he didn't expect it to be this condition, could it be that Dong Jiu really has something to say...

Xu Xiaoxiao thought of this, and for some reason her heart chuckled, as if something was about to surface.

"Okay." Xu Xiaoxiao still agreed, she couldn't help the doubts in her heart.

Speaking of which, the waiter next to him also served the dishes.

You can grill your own meat, and you don't need a waiter to help you grill the meat, so you left after the dishes were ready.

Dong Jiu continued, "Do you remember that Dong Jiu in the first year of high school? ”

He wanted to get straight to the point, he knew that as soon as he said this, Xu Xiaoxiao might feel different when he saw him.

"Remember..."Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and even the hand of the barbecue stopped.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes looked at the baking tray and also transferred to Dong Jiu.

The man in front of him, his straight figure is not at all like the cowering appearance of Dong Jiu in the first year of high school, his smooth and fair face is not full of pimples in the first year of high school, and his angular face is not as fat as it was back then.

These information are telling Xu Xiaoxiao that it is impossible, as well as where Dong Jiu went after he left school, how did he become a lawyer, and his whole body revealed the nobility that was impossible to see in Dong Jiu in those days, and the fatal aura on the day of the trial.

His white shirt was slightly open, and his cheeks were as sculpted as he was very handsome.

How could it be that Dong Jiu...

"Those days, will you miss them? I miss it. As soon as Dong Jiu said this, it meant that he was the Dong Jiu.

Xu Xiaoxiao confirmed the idea in her heart, and she never spoke.

She couldn't accept this matter yet, she couldn't imagine what Dong Jiu had been like all these years, why she would come over to provoke him after many years, but at the same time, the regret in her heart disappeared.

In the end, she still hates Dong Jiu, so she doesn't say goodbye.

"So what have you been doing all these years?" Xu Xiaoxiao didn't blame Dong Jiu, everyone's departure has everyone's reason, but asked such a sentence.

This time it was Dong Jiu's turn to be silent.

"Do you know that over the years, I have often stared at your account in a daze, sent you messages, visited the place where you used to work, and asked teachers." The more Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more angry she became, her voice trembled a little, she shouted out, her eyes stared straight at Dong Jiu, she wanted to see through Dong Jiu.

Seeing through how much Dong Jiu was lying to her in her heart, was she so easy to deceive?

"But it didn't work out. Do you know that my kindness to you was in exchange for you leaving without saying a word? ”

"My life seems to be getting better and better, and it seems to be getting worse and worse, and if it's not good, I've made me who I am today, but I don't have the girl who was willing to persuade me to become better."

Dong Jiu opened his mouth to speak, and his voice was a little weak, but Xu Xiaoxiao still heard it clearly, and it was very clear.

This sentence calmed her heart a little, and she didn't have the anger she had before.

"In those years, I was helping my family pay off their debts, so I took a leave of absence." Dong Jiu gritted his teeth and said it anyway, these things are all in the past, but it is really not an easy thing to say it, Dong Jiu is trying to speak in a relaxed tone.

"I didn't tell you because this incident was quite sudden, and I was afraid that telling you would trouble you, and I would even stay away, so I decided to leave first."

"After going around and around the reunion, we still met, so I want to use my ability to protect you, and the reunion is the beginning of the romance."

Xu Xiaoxiao was already in a mess in her heart after hearing these words, but she still chose to listen to Dong Jiu.

"I mean, I like you, this is a seed planted a long time ago, love will not make people's grades decline, but will make people work harder, so I worked hard, I was admitted to university and became a lawyer, this is also what you said in high school that you want to be a lawyer, I take your dream as my own dream, and work hard."

"That would be worse than anyone else, so I don't dare, I am inferior and incompetent, now it's different, I think, pursue you."

"We make ordinary days more romantic, and the days we spend with you are romantic to me."

"This long-term secret love, if you don't forgive me, you can be angry with me, or you can refuse my confession, confession means to confess your heart, not to force you to be with me. But I hope that you don't leave me and let me protect you. ”

"I'll give you the only protection I can do."

After Dong Jiu finished speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart gradually calmed down.

He himself doesn't know how much Dong Jiu likes Xu Xiaoxiao, he only knows that Xu Xiaoxiao is the light of his life. It's like he once stayed up for a few days and nights to finish his homework, and finally had a good rest, took a shower, changed into comfortable pajamas, and lay on the bed for a second when it was raining heavily.

"You..." Xu Xiaoxiao finally wanted to speak, but didn't know how.

In fact, the moment Dong Jiu confessed to her, his heart let go of the regret of saying goodbye for many years.

Everyone has their own hardships, so Xu Xiaoxiao understands Dong Jiu's thoughts, but her heart still can't accept it.

Because she seems to see her own heart, she seems to be unable to say anything to refuse, she can't refuse in the face of Dong Jiu, she seems to have a little different heartbeat speed for Dong Jiu, in other words, she likes Dong Jiu.

"Since I didn't think of anything to say, let's eat well." Dong Jiu smiled at Xu Xiaoxiao, the meat roasted on the baking tray was already cooked.

Dong Jiu sandwiched two pieces of pork belly and put them in the dry dish bowl next to Xu Xiaoxiao.

brushed another handful of oil, sandwiched the beef and put it on, the sound of Zizi lingered in his ears, Xu Xiaoxiao was brought back to his senses by this Zizi sound, and the fragrance of barbecue permeated the tip of his nose.

Xu Xiaoxiao trembled and took the pork belly in the bowl and put it to his mouth.

"Eat, I'll send you home after eating." Dong Jiu's voice softened.

……

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to eat this meal, she only knew that her brain was buzzing, she would do whatever Dong Jiu said, let her eat meat at will, let her drink a few sips, until Xu Xiaoxiao was full.

Dong Jiu sent her home.

After Xu Xiaoxiao arrived home, Dong Jiu left.

"Eh, that little boyfriend took you out to play?" As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao's mother saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming back, she asked.

Eight o'clock, not too late, the two of them must have done nothing.

After Cheng Chenyi returned home, the neighbor immediately came to the door and told her that she saw Xu Xiaoxiao going out with the little boyfriend tonight, and she specially told Xiaoxiao to go home early.

Hearing this, Cheng Chenyi was happy and worried in her heart, afraid that she would be happy when she came home late, and she finally got a boyfriend.

Xu Xiaoxiao adjusted her emotions when she went upstairs, but she still felt some feelings in her heart when she heard her mother ask her like this

"He's not my boyfriend." Xu Xiaoxiao still chose to explain, she was really entangled in whether to agree with Dong Jiu's confession.

Once she agrees, it means that she is in love, she has never been exposed to this kind of thing since she was a child, she is afraid that she will not do it well, and she is afraid that the feeling she will give Dong Jiu is nothing more than that.

If she chose to refuse, she wouldn't be able to accept Dong Jiu's good, but she couldn't bear to refuse.

I had no choice but not to answer.

"Look, it's all like this, and you still say it's not." Saying that, Cheng Chenyi also patted Xu Chenghui, obviously even Xu Chenghui now believes that he has a boyfriend.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't bother to explain, tonight's events were enough to give her a headache, she had already taken a day off, and she would be embarrassed to ask for leave tomorrow.

So she has to quickly regulate her emotions, so that she doesn't have the same situation as this morning when she goes to work tomorrow.

His white shirt was slightly open, and his cheeks were as sculpted as he was very handsome.

How could it be that Dong Jiu...

"Those days, will you miss them? I miss it. As soon as Dong Jiu said this, it meant that he was the Dong Jiu.

Xu Xiaoxiao confirmed the idea in her heart, and she never spoke.

She couldn't accept this matter yet, she couldn't imagine what Dong Jiu had been like all these years, why she would come over to provoke him after many years, but at the same time, the regret in her heart disappeared.
