Since Si Yan used a threatening tone, Jian Xiaoqi didn't say more, but when he lowered his head, he couldn't help muttering a word or two.

Something to the effect that this guy might be jealous again!

"Oh, the senior said that you would like to invite you to dinner, and you have already agreed?" Thinking of this question, Jian Xiaoqi turned to Si Yan for confirmation, and there was naturally surprise in his eyes.

The expression on Si Yan's face converged quickly, and after a while, he returned to a dull state, and he couldn't tell that half a minute ago, he was still angry because someone paid too much attention to her!

"Well, I've said yes."

As soon as Si Yan's words came out, Jian Xiaoqi fell silent. She also thought that with a meal among friends like this, Si Shao, who was above the top, would definitely refuse!

Therefore, she still carefully glanced at his expression, and saw that he was indeed not abnormal, so she was relieved.

"Oh, you just have to decide."

A little glad, fortunately he was taking a shower just now, so he left this problem to him to solve by himself. Otherwise, if you really let yourself make the decision, you will definitely be in a dilemma, right?

When Si Yan saw her relieved look, he already knew what she was thinking. Slanted the corner of his eyes and glanced at her, and "snorted" lightly, "It's just a meal together, don't be so nervous!" ”

Otherwise, it looks like he's stingy!

Jian Xiaoqi: ...... When did I get nervous......

Before Jian Xiaoqi could defend himself, Si Yan had already walked downstairs with his hands in his pockets, and when his tall back was about to disappear at the door, he shouted behind him: "The food is almost cold, why don't you come down and eat quickly!" ”

It had been a long time since he took a shower, and he had been waiting for her to eat together. Of course, Jian Xiaoqi didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly followed.

Ouch, her bones!

Jian Xiaoqi, who was sore and soft, felt that his bones were about to fall apart with every step he took. But looking at the calm culprit in front of her, her heart almost collapsed~

Everyone is obviously the same, why does he look so good?

Si Yan had already walked to the table and sat down, and the butler personally laid out the tablecloth in front of him, and then presented tonight's dishes one by one.

When Jian Xiaoqi came over, Si Yan glanced at her legs meaningfully, and a light smile flashed in her deep eyes. Then, without waiting for her to get farther away, she pulled open the seat beside him.

"Come and sit here—"

The chair was slightly pulled apart, Si Yan always looked at her with a smile on his face, and the butler had already brought her dinner to his side.

I don't think I have to refuse, right?

"Oh-"

Jian Xiaoqi sat down reluctantly, Si Yan beside him had already started, and he was obviously hungry when he looked like he was eating heavily. Well, the sequelae of excessive physical exertion!

Now, Jian Xiaoqi finally found a balance.

In the evening, Jane's mother really didn't come back, and she didn't even make a phone call, obviously trusting their young couple who had been reunited after a long absence.

However, in the face of someone who was fierce, Jian Xiaoqi had already collapsed, and he couldn't wait to disarm and surrender!

The next day, Jian Xiaoqi was thinking about whether to give some gifts to the senior for a while, after all, the senior won the award this time, which is also the honor of Rong'an City!

But after Si Yan knew the problem she was struggling with, he was very sour, "This kind of amateur small award, it's not like you can become an international chef by winning the award, what is there to celebrate?" ”

In Si Yan's heart, this kind of competition is just a TV station that is idle, making a small fuss, and giving his show Zeng's family some popularity.

But he forgot that Jian Xiaoqi also participated in this competition!

As soon as Jian Xiaoqi heard his words, he immediately became angry and pressed desperately, "You mean that all of us work hard when we are full and idle?" ”

Once rarely, Jian Xiaoqi stared at him with raised eyebrows, and his momentum was a little awe-inspiring.

Of course, Si Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing, but what he said was equivalent to spilling water, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to. So after listening to Jian Xiaoqi's questioning, he only raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The nature of the position is different, can this be compared?"

But one sentence stopped Jian Xiaoqi.

One is a chef, whose job is to improve his cooking skills, and the other is a food journalist who just needs to discover as much food as possible.

In this way, what Si Yan said was right, even if it was Guo Linchen himself, he might not be happy and carried away. As the saying goes, there are people outside the sky, and he is just constantly proving himself!

However, Jian Xiaoqi thought about it for a while, and finally insisted on his opinion.

"I know you don't like these small awards, but for chefs, it's a chance to prove your progress! Besides, food shouldn't be divided into three, six, nine and so on, so there should be more competitions like this! ”

As a foodie, Jian Xiaoqi definitely maintains a supportive attitude towards such a cooking competition. So she didn't agree with what Si Yan said just now.

Si Yan didn't expect that his words would provoke her to say this, and he couldn't help but glance at her in surprise.

Jian Xiaoqi mistakenly thought that he was about to pour cold water again, so he hurriedly spoke before he could speak: "Don't say anything 'this is different'!" Besides, don't you also hold some events regularly? It's not the same! ”

Well, that's directly taking his identity as a businessman!

Si Yan didn't know whether to say that her thinking was too simple, or that she was rarely shrewd, but it made him feel impressed.

After looking at her for a while, Si Yan finally gave up reasoning with her, "Okay, it's up to you!" ”

Anyway, they'll be going back in two days, and now she'll go with her whatever she wants, as long as she's happy! What's more, with his presence here today, I'm not afraid that Guo Linchen has any different thoughts.

Jian Xiaoqi said that he was preparing a gift, but in fact, it was just a gesture of heart, and it was not a valuable thing.

When she packed up and walked down, she had changed into an off-white knitted dress with a light brown coat over it. Because she was going out, she also deliberately added a red scarf around her neck, and a corner hung naturally from her shoulders.

Si Yan's eyes looked at her intently for a while, and suddenly found that she seemed to be a little more feminine than a few years ago, and even the childishness on her face had taken off a lot.

"Okay? Shall we leave now, or shall we wait a while? ”

He didn't ask her what gifts she gave, but he saw that she was holding a small box in her hand, which was probably some gadgets she usually collected, so he didn't ask.

Jian Xiaoqi looked at the time, "Let's hurry up, so as not to wait for Senior Guo for a while!" ”

In fact, it is not very late, but according to her guess, Senior Guo will definitely arrive at the hotel a little earlier than them. As everyone knows, she really guessed it!

Si Yan frowned a little strangely, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, "Then let's go!" ”

The two went out together, but Si Yan's movements were not very open, as if he had deliberately slowed down his movements. finally took the car keys from the housekeeper and set off with Jian Xiaoqi.

What Si Yan didn't tell her just now was that just before she went downstairs, that Guo Linchen sent him a message and told Si Yan that he had arrived.

It's just that he hid it.

At the Golden Hotel, when Si Yan and Jian Xiaoqi arrived, Guo Linchen had been waiting for more than an hour.

If he is a native of country F who has always been punctual, it is estimated that he will be late for such a long time, and the consequences will definitely be very serious. But Guo Linchen obviously didn't have such awareness, not to mention what kind of person Si Yan was, he could guess it.

Therefore, Si Yan was able to come, which was already enough to give him face. No, it should be said that Si Yan agreed to come to dinner for the sake of Jian Xiaoqi's face!

Guo Linchen chuckled, just in time to see them walking in together.

With a wave of his hand, the two men led by Waiter were already walking in this direction. But it was obvious that Jian Xiaoqi walked in front with brisk steps and a happy face, while Si Yan followed behind, as if he was going to talk about business with a straight face.

"Senior Guo, congratulations on winning the award! I didn't have time to tell you in person yesterday, oh, this is a gift for you, and I apologize for it! ”

After Jian Xiaoqi finished speaking, he handed over the box in his hand.

Unexpectedly, after Guo Linchen took the box, he said half-jokingly, "Oh, this is an apologetic gift?" And what about the congratulatory gift? ”

It was about when Jian Xiaoqi had never seen the senior joking, so when he heard his words at first glance, he was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? This, this ...... I haven't prepared for the time being, why don't I go back and make up for it? ”

Jian Xiaoqi believed it, scratched his head with his hand, and had to say that he would make up for it next time.

Guo Linchen smiled, "Silly girl, I'm kidding you!" Thank you for the gift, oh yes, you also have a credit for this award, so the prize of this contest is given to you! ”

It turns out that he also prepared a "gift"?

Jian Xiaoqi was surprised, Guo Linchen took out a gift box from the empty seat on the side, and handed it over with a smile, "This is the prize provided by the host, and it should be given to you as a reward for your efforts in the past two days!" ”

This frightened Jian Xiaoqi and hurriedly decided.

"No, no, no, this is your credit, senior, how can I accept these prizes? You'd better take it yourself......" he said, trying to push these things back.

It's just that Guo Linchen insisted that she accept it, "Take it, it's a bottle of wine and a box of classic cookies, I don't love these, I just think you should still like it." ”

The wine is good and the cookies are good.

But Jian Xiaoqi was obviously shocked, "Huh? That's all for the prizes? ”

She also thought that in an international competition like this, at least the prizes were very generous!

This is her loneliness, in fact, for chefs, winning the award itself is an affirmation of their cooking skills, which is more useful than any award.

Because, chefs rely on cooking skills to eat!

Knowing that she still had doubts, Guo Linchen smiled and pushed the prize over again, "Take it, I asked other people, and everyone thinks it's more appropriate to give this thing to you." ”

"This ......"

Jian Xiaoqi was a little gracious.

But Guo Linchen suddenly changed his goal, and looked at Si Yan, who was following Jian Xiaoqi and had been ignored just now, "Si Shao, we all think that Xiao Qi can accept this prize, what do you say?" ”

Guo Linchen's voice instantly brought Jian Xiaoqi's brain back to his senses.

Remembering that he seemed to have forgotten someone all the time just now, Jian Xiaoqi secretly screamed "Oops" in his heart, and then lowered his head and didn't dare to look back at him with a little weakness.

And Si Yan's face had already turned back and forth on the two of them, and finally he snorted coldly.

"It's just a little prize, it doesn't matter who takes it or not?"

With such a dismissive attitude, does it mean that he can't look down on these prizes at all? This is embarrassing, especially Jian Xiaoqi, after listening to Si Yan's tone, he almost didn't bury his head in the ground!

It's like this, it's really shameless to see the seniors!

"Oh, since everyone is so polite, then I will accept this prize unceremoniously!"

Therefore, Jian Xiaoqi almost rushed to take the gift box in Guo Linchen's hand, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, "I accepted the senior prize, go back and help me say thank you to everyone, and when I return to Rong'an, I will definitely invite everyone to dinner if I have the opportunity!" ”

This is the awkward atmosphere that can be regarded as suppressing.
