Chapter 60: Accepting the Invitation
The two simply ate out and went home, Ye Tong went to wash the fruit, and then the mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated twice.
She opened it and found that it was Xuan Haoran who added her WeChat, so she agreed and put it aside.
"Who?" Xiao Jinming ate a grape and asked casually.
Ye Tong shook his head, "The classmate who was sent to the hospital today should want to transfer the medical expenses to me." ”
After speaking, he sat cross-legged on the sofa, and Xiao Jinming didn't ask anything more.
After a while, Xuan Haoran really transferred all the medical expenses to her, and invited her to have a meal with her tomorrow by the way, saying that he wanted to thank her.
Ye Tong refused on the grounds that he was going to sketch with Su Li tomorrow, and Xuan Haoran didn't say anything more.
The next day, Ye Tong got up early in the morning and called Su Li when everything was ready.
"Hey, Ali, are you up? I've packed it up, and I'll come to you now. Ye Tong picked up the bag and walked to the door while making a phone call.
Su Li answered, and then gave her an address.
Ye Tong followed the address and looked for it, Su Li was already waiting for her there, and the two had a simple breakfast before going to that place.
This is actually a small hillside, but because it is on the outskirts of the city, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire city, and Ye Tong likes this place very much.
As soon as the two of them started drawing, Ye Tong's mobile phone rang again, she picked it up and saw that it was a message sent by Xuan Haoran, and she simply replied with a few sentences and put it down.
Su Li had been watching the situation on her side, pretending not to care and asked, "What's the matter if you come out to play with your boyfriend?" ”
Ye Tong smiled awkwardly, "No, it's a friend." And then he added, "Our school."
Su Li became interested at this moment, put down the paintbrush, and then asked, "Our school?" ”
She had already inquired about Ye Tong's experience with the help of Shen Silent Nian, including that she had lived in a mental hospital with her mother since she was a child, and after returning to the Ye family, she married Xiao Jinming, so it can be said that she did not have any friends. I don't know why a friend suddenly popped up, or from the same school.
Ye Tong didn't understand the meaning of her words, nodded, and then continued to draw.
"What's your name, maybe I know it." Su Li pretended to be casual and said.
"Xuan Haoran, one level older than us." Ye Tong didn't have any defense, so he said it directly.
Su Li nodded, and had already begun to calculate the use value of this matter in her heart, maybe it could make Xiao Jinming completely disgusted with Ye Tong.
"How did you meet, you're staying with me all day, I'm really curious." Su Li smiled at her.
Ye Tong simply recounted the incident of Xuan Haoran being sent to the hospital by himself.
Su Li nodded as if she didn't understand, "That's really a coincidence." I thought your boyfriend wasn't worried about you. ”
Ye Tong pursed his lips, "No, he went to work." ”
"And how did you know each other?" Su Li asked like gossip, and her hand involuntarily clenched the brush in her hand.
Every word Ye Tong said seemed to have opened a hole in her heart, all of which should have belonged to her, but they were all ruined by the Ye family.
Looking at Ye Tong's smiling appearance, she felt that she was showing off, and responded with a forced smile.
Su Li's face was pale, her lips did not have the slightest blood, her chest kept rising and falling, and her hands were trembling.
"Smack-"
A drop of ink fell on the near-finished painting, forming a stain. Su Li threw the paintbrush to the side.
"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Ye Tong stepped forward and asked with concern.
Su Li calmed down for a moment, then shook her head, "It's okay, it's just that my stomach is a little uncomfortable all of a sudden." ”
"Then let's find a place to rest."
Ye Tong first helped Su Li to sit down next to him, and then packed up the things he brought, and carried them on his shoulders together with Su Li's bag, two backpacks, one in front and one in the back, which looked a little nondescript.
"Won't it be heavy, or shall I take it myself?" Su Li asked hypocritically.
"No, you don't." Ye Tong shook his head.
Su Li didn't insist anymore, and leaned half of her body on Ye Tong's body with peace of mind. Looking at the beads of sweat on Ye Tong's face, there was no trace of guilt in his heart, which was completely different from Su Li, who had been protecting Ye Tong before.
After a brief rest, Ye Tong sent Su Li home.
"Ye Tong, someone is looking for you."
In her spare time, Ye Tong was painting in the studio when she heard someone calling her outside.
"Eh, how many times has this been? What does he want to do? Su Li looked at the people standing outside the door, then at Ye Tong, and then smiled.
Ye Tong smiled awkwardly, and then responded, "I don't know either." ”
"He didn't know you already had a boyfriend, did he?" Su Li asked meaningfully.
"I don't know, what's wrong?" Ye Tong looked puzzled.
Su Li didn't speak, just gave her a color, and Ye Tong instantly understood.
"Why are you here?" Ye Tong walked out of the door and saw Xuan Haoran standing outside, against the light, his outline was extremely clear.
Xuan Haoran smiled embarrassedly, "I'm coming to see you, by the way, I want to ask if you have time tonight, I want to treat you to dinner." ”
As if he was afraid of being rejected again, he quickly added, "I haven't found a chance to thank you for the last time, don't reject me again this time, okay?" ”
Ye Tong was stunned, it was true that Xuan Haoran would come to her every day in the past few days, saying that he was inviting her to dinner to thank her for sending him to the hospital, but because Xiao Jinming was going to pick her up from school, she always refused.
But she felt that Xuan Haoran had already returned all the medical expenses to herself, and there was nothing to thank, but the other party seemed to have kept this matter in mind.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you after school." Ye Tong nodded, whether he wanted to thank him or not, he had to make things clear, otherwise it would be bad for him to come here every day to make people misunderstand.
Xuan Haoran got a satisfactory reply, nodded, and left.
"That's leaving?" Su Li watched Ye Tong come in and asked curiously.
The first few times Xuan Haoran was going to pull her and say that she had a lot of things that she didn't have, and basically she wouldn't leave until class time, Su Li didn't expect it to be so refreshing today.
Ye Tong nodded, "Well, he said he wanted to thank me for the last time he sent him to the hospital, so he wanted to invite me to dinner." ”
"Okay, pay attention to yourself, if he really has that kind of idea, you'd better make it clear to him as soon as possible." Su Li said.
Ye Tong nodded, indicating that he understood.
"By the way, where did you make an appointment to eat? It's best not to be too far from home, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to go back at night. Su Lixiang asked as if unintentionally.
Ye Tong nodded and said the name of the store, "Don't worry, I know." ”
After school, Ye Tong sent a message to Xiao Jinming, saying that he was getting together with friends and asked him not to pick him up.
