Chapter Ninety-Three: Shi Ke's Intentions
"Clank!" Remembering the prompt sound of receiving a message on his mobile phone, Shen Yin put down the brush in his hand and picked up the phone.
"Shen Yin, are you free tonight? I'd like to talk to you. "It's a message from Shi Ke.
"Okay, you can decide the location." The last time I met him by chance, I promised to invite him to dinner, and I just made up for it today.
At six o'clock in the evening, Shen Yin went to a food stall near the company, and twenty minutes after she arrived, Shi Ke walked into the store wearing a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt and black jeans. It's rush hour, and the food stall, which is only about 40 square meters, is already full of customers, who are sitting by the window.
She handed the menu to Shi Ke, "I'm in for a treat today." ”
"Can you eat spicy?" He asked, glancing at the menu.
"Well, I'm not a picky eater." She supported her chin with her hand and nodded.
Shi Ke ordered boiled fish, teppanyaki chicken, cold melon pork ribs pot, West Lake beef soup, stir-fried noodles and intestines and two bottles of beer.
"Shen Yin, do you still remember Xue Yufan?" Shi Ke poured her a glass of beer and asked suddenly.
No one had mentioned the name for a long time, and she was slightly shocked in her heart, "Well, what do you want to say?" ”
Shi Ke drank half a glass of beer in one go, and said with a smile: "Actually, I know you through him, but this kid is unlucky, how can he get a terminal illness at a young age." There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, "We have known each other since elementary school, and when my family moved to the county seat the year I graduated from primary school, he and I couldn't go to the same junior high school." Although I wasn't at the same school at that time, I would go back to my hometown every weekend and see each other often. ”
She didn't know why Shi Ke said this, so she listened to him quietly while drinking beer.
"He was a year older than me, so I called him brother, and one day in the first semester of the second year of junior high school, he suddenly told me that he had a crush on a girl in his class, and I suggested that he confess to that girl as soon as possible. But he told me that the girl wouldn't like him, he felt that he didn't deserve the girl, and he just wanted to protect her silently, hoping to confess to that girl one day in the future. Since then, he has often told me about that girl, and after a long time, I have been very curious about that girl, thinking about what kind of girl can make him so loved. Later, he dropped out of school and went to a southern city. Shi Ke drank the remaining beer from the cup and poured another glass. When I went to high school, I went back to my hometown and met him, he had been working in the society for two years, and he was very mature, and he asked me about the girl, but I had never met her, how could I know this. After that day, we rarely saw each other, only occasionally texting or making phone calls. From the chat with him, I could feel that he was always thinking about that girl. Shi Ke raised his eyes to look at her, "Actually, I said that to you that day to make you ......."
"Huh? It turned out to be because of this. She interrupted him, already understanding what he meant.
"I'm sorry! I was mistaken, I thought you liked him too. Shi Ke picked up his glass and continued to drink.
"No, it's me who should thank you, thank you for telling me this." She picked up the cup and touched it with him, draining the beer from the cup.
At this time, the meals were served one after another, Shen Yin sandwiched a piece of boiled fish, and her tears were about to flow out, she thought of Xue Yufan's pale face, and her face was a little distorted because of the pain.
"So you can't eat spicy." Shi Ke also sandwiched a piece of fish, tasted it, and found that it was not very spicy.
"No, choked on smoke." She smiled embarrassedly and took a tissue to wipe her eyes.
"Don't talk about that, can you try these dishes I ordered to your taste?"
It was already eight o'clock after they finished eating, and Shi Ke was about to drive her back, she waved her hand, "No need, I have other things, so I'll leave first." ”
"Well, then we'll make an appointment next time." Shi Ke waved at her.
She walked aimlessly along the road, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the square, which had now been enlarged, and the lights were all set up, and there were many people scattered inside. She remembered that she had stayed here with Xue Yufan for a while, and she had carried him for a few steps, which was the first time she had carried a man on her back.
She sat down on the same staircase she had been sitting on and sobbed quietly. After Shi Ke said those words to her, there was always a voice in her heart blaming herself-she was really cruel to Xue Yufan, but the other figure was comforting herself-she didn't have a deep affection for Xue Yufan, not to mention that the person she cared about in her heart was not him, and she never gave Xue Yufan any chance, and she also told him these things in person.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in the bag rang, and it was Wang Mengliang calling. She hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with her hands and cleared her throat, "Husband! ”
"Wife, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with the sound? Wang Mengliang heard her voice nasal.
"It's nothing, it's just a little inflamed." She lied.
"Seriously? Where are you? I'll bring you medicine. He spoke anxiously.
"It's okay, I'm on my way, I'll be home in a minute."
"Well, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the complex."
She gathered her emotions, turned and walked across the sidewalk and hailed a taxi.
She touched up her makeup in the car, and after checking it, she put away her makeup bag satisfied. After she got out of the car, she saw Wang Mengliang standing under the street lamp.
"Wife, shall we go out to eat today?" Wang Mengliang walked towards her, stretched out his hand to hold her, and interlocked his fingers with her.
She was so happy to see him smiling that she was embarrassed to say that she had already eaten it. "Well, it's so late, why don't you eat nearby?"
"Hmm." He nodded a little disgusted, Shen Yin knew that he was a superb cook, and what he cooked in an ordinary small restaurant was not as delicious as what he made himself.
They found a small restaurant nearby, Wang Mengliang looked at the menu back and forth twice, ordered a salt-and-pepper beef, and handed the menu to her, "Look at what you want to eat?" ”
"Actually, I've already eaten it, and I'll watch you eat it." She smirked.
"When? And with whom did you eat? He asked, feigning displeasure.
Shen Yin poked the tip of his nose with his finger, "What?" Are you jealous? ”
"Where? There is too much vinegar in the meal at noon today. ”
"Hehe, I got together with an old man after work and chatted a few words." She talked about eating with Shi Ke roughly, and only talked about Shi Ke and Xue Yufan being friends.
"Then do you regret marrying me now?" Wang Mengliang said it inadvertently.
"Then do you regret marrying me?" She blurted out, only to realize that she had said the wrong thing.
He took her hand and said solemnly: "Wife, the happiest thing in my life is that you are my wife, so don't ask such stupid questions in the future." ”
"What? I'm kidding. Suddenly seeing him so serious, her heart raced and her cheeks flushed.
"What I said is true."
She was amused by his serious look, "I know, I've always known. ”
The proprietress in the restaurant brought out the prepared meal, and Shen Yin saw that he was eating, so she talked about the woman's hair that she found in his car last time, "How often does your car be cleaned?" Last time I found a lot of things in the passenger seat. ”
"What's that?"
"Strands of hair."
"Ah...... Recently, I've been working overtime, and my hair loss has worsened. ”
"It's a woman's hair." She expected him to be surprised when she said it.
Sure enough, he coughed violently. He drank a glass of water and said slowly, "You shouldn't be suspicious of me, right?" ”
"What do you say?" She was still smiling.
He put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Recently, the wife of a leader of the head office was running errands here, and she came to travel by the way, and I was in charge of the reception, probably hers." ”
"Oh, you can eat it."
"You don't ask?"
"What else to ask?" Shen Yin said incomprehensibly.
"Of course, I asked so many people in the company, why did I come to receive this seemingly inconsecable person?"
"Why the hell?" She said nonchalantly.
"You don't seem to be interested, forget it, I won't talk about it." Wang Mengliang realized that this was about other people's privacy, and since Shen Yin didn't pay attention to it, he still shouldn't say these things.
"Have you finished eating?" She saw that he had put down his chopsticks.
"Well, I'm done."
At this time, the night was slightly cool, and she felt a hint of cold wind in a shirt, and couldn't help but hug her arms. Wang Mengliang passed by a hot drink shop and bought her a hot drink. She took a sip, and her whole body suddenly warmed up, and her heart was also warm.
"Do you still have to rush the manuscript tonight?" He asked, turning his head.
"Not tonight."
"Shall we go to bed early tonight?" He smiled evilly, and a trace of shyness appeared on Shen Yin's face.
"Hmmm......"
