55. Mother's Raid (Part I)
Eight o'clock in the evening.
When Xue Lanlan entered the agreed restaurant, she happened to receive a call from Du Peng, she carried a bag in one hand and a phone in the other, and after entering the restaurant in a hurry, she saw Qiao Pingdi's location at a glance.
Xue Lanlan held the phone in one hand and said, "Hey, what's wrong?" ”
"I just saw that your mother bought a ticket to come to X City tomorrow, and I want to ask you if you need to pick up someone then?" Du Peng's voice rang slowly on the other end of the phone.
Xue Lanlan was stunned, her mother was coming over, why didn't she know? Of course, what she cares about the most is how does Du Peng know? Xue Lanlan thought a little speechless in her heart, and asked directly, "How did you know that I was coming?" ”
"I took notes the last time I went to your house." Du Peng generously admitted, and as a robot, she didn't feel the slightest inappropriateness.
Xue Lanlan listened speechlessly, her eyes walked quickly towards Qiao Ping, and she paused: "Okay, I know about this matter, I'll talk about it when I get home, I'll hang up first." After Xue Lanlan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and walked straight to Qiao Ping, she said in a relaxed tone: "I'm late." ”
"No, you're not late." Qiao Ping watched the woman in front of him sit down, paused slightly, and then hurriedly took out the menu and said, "Do you have anything you want to eat?" You order first. ”
"I want a beef tenderloin rice bowl and a cup of sour plum soup, thank you." Xue Lanlan glanced at the menu, then paused and went straight to the point: "By the way, what are you looking for me?" ”
"I met someone not long ago." Qiao Ping put down the menu, his eyes hung down on the menu, his gaze swept over every dish on the menu, but it didn't fall on Xue Lanlan's face.
Qiao Ping didn't know what was wrong with him, he just couldn't look directly at Xue Lanlan, he paused, and asked Xue Lanlan to take the spoon of eating and pause slightly, she also knew that Qiao Ping came to ask about this matter this time, so on the whole, she didn't panic much, she said: "I don't have a favorite person, why do you ask that?" ”
"Also, he's weird, and he really doesn't look like someone who likes you." Qiao Ping said to himself, his eyes fell directly between his fingers, and he continued: "I met a boy a few days ago, and he told me that the two of you live together, and he asked me a lot of questions. ”
Xue Lanlan thought of Du Peng's serious questioning, she felt a little embarrassed, she coughed lightly, and then said, "What did he ask you, so that you have the illusion that he likes me?" ”
"A lot, it's like checking me like an account, asking about my parents, bride price, parents' personalities, etc." Along with Qiao Ping's words, Xue Lanlan remembered that Du Peng had said that he had asked these questions.
At this time, Xue Lanlan just wanted to smile dryly and ease the atmosphere.
"It's strange to say, although he has always cared about your appearance, and he looks very young, but his attitude towards me is more like an elder, especially when he asks for a bride price, he feels like an old man." Although Xue Lanlan was a little speechless about Qiao Ping's evaluation of Du Peng as an "old man", she could understand it somewhat.
"So I'm curious to know, what is your relationship?" Qiao Ping looked at Xue Lanlan and stared at her tightly.
Xue Lanlan took a breath, put down her chopsticks, and said with a light face: "We are good friends, to be precise, he has nowhere to go recently, so for the time being, my house, as for the situation that will ask about you, it should be that he stands in my position and considers it, similar to the feeling of torturing you as a member of your mother's family." ”
"Then it's a bit inappropriate for you lonely men and widows to live together like this, what if he really wants to do something to you?" Qiao Ping's eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression of displeasure was fully revealed.
Xue Lanlan exhaled and replied, "Don't worry about this...... In fact, this involves his privacy, and he ...... He's a, he's not interested in girls, and the reason why he came to live with me is because he just broke up with his boyfriend, and then if he falls in love, he'll leave. Xue Lanlan felt that she was going to have a golden lotus on her tongue, and the lies she made up were simply flying six!
Qiao Ping probably wanted to break his head but didn't expect Du Peng to be this kind of setting, he was a little shocked, and asked rhetorically as if incredible: "Is he really a?" ”
"Really." Xue Lanlan said without raising her eyelids, for fear that Qiao Ping would not believe it, she paused and added, "How did he get in touch with you?" ”
"I asked you to dinner, and when I was waiting for you in the restaurant, you never answered me, and then he came." Qiao Ping paused, always feeling hairy in his heart, feeling that which link was weird.
Xue Lanlan obviously felt that something was wrong when she heard Qiao Ping's words, I'm afraid that according to Du Peng's setting, she should have read her WeChat chat records to know the location of the restaurant, but Xue Lanlan didn't dare to continue to ask this topic, for fear that Qiao Ping would notice that something was wrong, she hurriedly continued: "That's it, in short, please don't care about what he said and did, he is just my friend, commonly known as honey, but I didn't make it clear that I live with my friends at the beginning, if he has anything to offend, please bear with me." ”
"Hmm......" Qiao Ping listened to Xue Lanlan's words, and nodded hurriedly, at this time he also heard the meaning of Xue Lanlan's words, and he was not with Xue Lanlan yet, now that this little flying vinegar has been eaten to fly, let alone think about the future.
Qiao Ping hurriedly blushed a little when he thought of this, he lowered his head, scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed: "He didn't say anything excessive, in fact, this matter is also my problem, I am too nervous about you." ”
"Your friend is very good-looking and has a good figure, in terms of appearance, if he is heterosexual, there should be many girls who like it!" Qiao Ping said cautiously, and the whole person was highly tense because of nervousness.
Xue Lanlan looked at Qiao Ping like this, and a sentence popped up in her mind, it is really "no matter how good a person is, he will have low self-esteem in the face of love".
"You're not bad either!" Xue Lanlan exhaled, looked at Qiao Ping, and said with one hand on her cheek: "You are very handsome, very attractive, have a good figure, and you are very polite in your conversation and demeanor, you are the type that girls like, so you are confident, you are great." ”
Qiao Ping just didn't expect Xue Lanlan to praise her, his eyes lit up, and then fell on Xue Lanlan's face, and asked seriously, "Do you really think I'm great?" ”
"Well, yes." Xue Lanlan smiled, you see, even Qiao Ping, who is a high-quality rich second generation, will be nervous and afraid, and she can't help but envy Du Peng at this time.
Although as an artificial intelligence, every step of its life is the result of a programmed operation, it will not be sad, it will not be nervous, and its mechanical world is black and white, and it does not need to be sophisticated.
Xue Lanlan felt that if there was an afterlife, she also wanted to be an artificial intelligence, just watching others fall in love.
The dinner in the evening ended in the follow-up pleasure, and when Xue Lanlan came home, she was really tired and collapsed, so she could only say that she was mentally prepared in advance, and used the as an excuse to fool Qiao Ping.
This meal is comparable to the Hongmen feast.
Xue Lanlan came home and lay on the sofa, while Du Peng served a cup of red date tea with a sensitive movement, and he carefully instructed: "You are coming to your aunt's period, so remember not to eat ice and cold these days." ”
"Oh, is it coming to Auntie, no wonder I've been physically and mentally exhausted in the last few days." Xue Lanlan touched her stomach, then took the red date tea and drank two sips.
In fact, when she was alone, she lived a very rough life, let alone making a cup of jujube tea, and when she was busy, she not only had to endure any physical pain, but also drank with customers from time to time to take the platform.
Xue Lanlan drank a cup of red date tea leisurely and burped, she exhaled and said, "By the way, you told me today that my mother is coming, what's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, your mother just booked a ticket and I knew in advance, and the ticket time is tomorrow." Du Peng took the empty cup, and then said while washing it without looking back.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and it looks like mom is going to do a raid, but it's just ...... Xue Lanlan raised her eyes and glanced at Du Peng, although her mother already knew that she lived with Du Peng, but after all, it was just talking, and when her mother came over, it seemed that it would become a different scene again.
Now Xue Lanlan feels a headache just thinking about it, and she can't imagine what kind of drama Du Peng and her mother will make when they come together! Not to mention...... Xue Lanlan looked in Du Peng's direction while thinking, and he saw Du Peng's side face at a glance, with two willow eyebrows printed under his full forehead, eyes like stars with silver light, a high nose bridge and ...... The lips that felt right to the touch, all of which made her unconsciously think of the scene of that night.
Originally, after going to work and so on, she thought that she would be able to face Du Peng head-on when she went home at night, but all her emotions were broken when she saw his beautiful lips, and the taste mixed with mint exploded in her mouth again, and every cell in her body seemed to be shouting for her to kiss this man.
Is he really in love with this man, as Josh said? No way! Xue Lanlan pursed her lips, looked at Du Peng and said, "Last night...... Is there anything you would like to say to me? ”
"What do you want to say?" Du Peng glanced at Xue Lanlan incomprehensibly, and then said seriously: "Good night, rest early, I'll make you breakfast tomorrow." ”
"......" Xue Lanlan suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she also knew that Du Peng was not to blame for this, after all, if he could understand her heart and understand the world, then he would not be an ordinary robot.
Xue Lanlan got up and said "good night" and entered her room.
