Qin Kexin watched Bai Pujia put down the chopsticks, drank the water again, and finally lowered her hands slightly, lowered her head slightly, and focused her eyes on the chopsticks lying on the table in front of her, so she also lowered her head slightly and asked her:

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Well, it's good to eat."

As soon as Bai Pujia heard him ask, she pressed the checkout button with one hand, grabbed the bag with the other, straightened her back and waited for the waiter to settle the bill.

"Good two, a total of 256 yuan."

A young waitress with a smile on his face came over, stood at the table between the two, and took out the bill.

Bai Pujia hurriedly took out the wallet in her bag, opened it, took out three brand-new 100 yuan bills and twisted them out, raised her hand to the waiter, but heard the person on the other side look at her and smiled slightly, and also raised her hand to hand the three 100 yuan twisted in her hand to the waiter and said:

"Take me."

"Haha, okay, ladies are given priority when eating, and men are preferred when paying bills. Save yours for next time! ”

The waiter's smiling face turned to Bai Pujia, and after saying to Bai Pujia in a very happy tone, he turned to Qin Kexin with the same happiness and said:

"Thank you, sir, and welcome to you next time!"

Bai Pujia put the money back into the wallet with a red face in Qin Kexin's silent laughter, and then put the wallet back into the bag, glanced at him and said:

"Thank you, I'll ask for the next meal."

"Okay, you can ask for the evening."

Qin Kexin pursed his lips and smiled.

Bai Pujia was stunned for a moment, raised her head and said "oh", and immediately responded:

"Okay, Mr. Lin is also with me."

She didn't know why she had to pull Lin Ruqiang up in this answer, as if she was habitual, she wanted to distance the man in front of her from herself, so that she felt comfortable.

Qin Kexin didn't say anything when he heard this, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said:

"There is still time, let's walk over to the Canghai Coffee Bar, just after eating and walking. Are you cold? If it's cold, we'll take a taxi. ”

"It's not cold. However, I don't know the ......."

Bai Pujia said with some shame. For a person who has been in the capital for many years, it is not divided into south, east and west, and he is at a loss for the alleys and alleys that have to turn a little, which is indeed a little unreasonable. But if she didn't say it, she wasn't sure if he, who was just a person on a business trip, could recognize the way, so she had to be honest and say it first, lest she get lost halfway and be at a loss.

"Oh, I'm a little impressed."

Qin Kexin raised his head and glanced ahead, as if he had glanced at the path.

"It doesn't matter, if we get lost halfway, we'll take a taxi."

Bai Pujia hurriedly added, in this way, although she can follow this person who still has some impressions with confidence, when you can't find the direction, you don't have to be ashamed to take a taxi.

"Hehe, okay. If you get lost halfway, we can take a taxi. ”

Qin Kexin repeated her words with a smile.

If Qin Ya or the rest of the Qin family were by his side, he would definitely be surprised to see his smile like a spring breeze at the moment, especially Qin Ya, if she didn't shake the eardrums of the entire Beijing City to express her happiness, she would not give up.

Qin Kexin had actually begun to notice Bai Pujia's sensitive heart.

When he was settling the bill, he saw her take out three hundred-dollar bills from her purse, so he took out the few cash bills in his wallet.

He had a bank card that he had with him and no password. But he didn't want Bai Pujia to have any sensitive unhappiness about this, so he didn't take it out.

In the end, the two still explored together and walked to the Canghai Cafe. In the middle, under the guidance of Qin Kexin's questions, Bai Pujia involuntarily talked about the process of the Xuehai Education Project from its initiation to the present, and also said some of the problems that existed in the development process of this project.

When she talked about her wish for this project, the whole person was like a light source, shining, and her eyes seemed to contain the whole future, which not only brightened her whole face, but also made Qin Kexin, who was listening on the side, also fly in his heart, full of hope, and a pair of long eyes shining.

And his glittering sense of resonance, falling into Bai Pujia's eyes, resonantly stirred her heart, making her more confident in this project and even in herself.

Before they knew it, the two of them had already sat down in the old seat of the Canghai Cafe - it was still the young waiter in the morning, who saw them come in and took them there automatically.

"Are you two still American?"

The waiter asked with a smile.

"Oh no, this time for a latte, a big cup."

Bai Pujia obviously chatted happily all the way, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

"What about you, sir? The same? ”

The waiter smiled and turned to Qin Kexin to ask.

"Hmm."

Qin Kexin also smiled and nodded. He was also very happy to talk to her along the way, and he didn't want to break such a pleasure.

"You go on."

Qin Kexin raised his right hand lightly, looked at Bai Pujia who was sitting opposite him with an encouraging smile and said.

"Oh, good."

Bai Pujia smiled happily and began her chatter again. She didn't take Qin Kexin as a leader, but because she talked about the topic of the Xuehai project, especially aroused her hope for this project, she couldn't help but express it enthusiastically. And her enthusiasm and fluency of expression were inspired by the sincere acceptance and recognition of what she said in the eyes of the person in front of her.

The unanimous recognition reached by the two of them because of what she said and what he heard made them feel as if they had entered a common space, the common space constructed by her words. This is an intangible attraction for both of them. This is why Bai Pujia was able to talk endlessly, which was more wonderful and vivid than the report of thousands of people at the company's group meeting that day.

"Hey, Pu Jia, Mr. Qin's help, I'm sorry, I stepped on it."

Lin Ruqiang's arrival interrupted Bai Pujia's narration.

"No, it's five minutes until two o'clock."

Qin Kexin raised his hand and glanced at his watch, said with a smile, and motioned for him to sit down.

Bai Pujia quickly got up, moved into the inner position, and gave the outermost position to Lin Ruqiang. So, Lin Ruqiang sat down facing Qin Kexin. Bai Pujia sat inside, moved a large cup of latte from the situation, and pressed the order button to order a latte for Lin Ruqiang. Lin Ruqiang often drinks latte, she knows this.

It's another three cups of latte, but Qin Kexin has already received Bai Pujia's confirmation in the morning that he and Lin Ruqiang are just working partners and ordinary friends, so he no longer has doubts.
