Chapter 219:-for-tat
Yao Shuangshuang picked up the teacup in front of him and raised his head to drink tea.
She actually didn't know it earlier than Mencius Zhao, but she came back to meet Qiao Ruoqing after the New Year in the capital, and later she guessed that Qiao Ruoqing and Huo Jingyuan would definitely be together.
After all, when a girl can ask those questions, it shows that she must be moved.
I just didn't expect it to be so soon.
Yao Shuangshuang's reaction was completely interpreted by Meng Zizhao, and his tone was even more resentful, "Okay, wife, it turns out that you really know!" It's too much, you know how not to tell me? ”
Yao Shuangshuang chose to ignore him completely, and beckoned to the waiter standing by the door, "Hurry up, give them the menu, order." ”
The waiter quickly handed over the menu.
Qiao Ruoqing didn't like to order, so she gave the menu to Huo Jingyuan.
Wu Shan, who hadn't spoken for a while, finally spoke up at this moment, with a docile tone: "Miss Qiao, don't you order?" ”
"No, it's okay to be Jing Yuan." Qiao Ruoqing looked at Huo Jingyuan, her eyes full of affection.
He added: "Anyway, Jing Yuan has always understood my preferences. ”
Although Huo Jingyuan was looking at the menu with his eyebrows down, Wu Shan clearly saw that his eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
This has never been done before in front of others.
"I see, it seems that you have a good relationship with each other." Wu Shan had a smile on her face, looking envious.
Sun Yao was sitting next to Wu Shan, and when he heard Wu Shan's words, he looked sideways at the girl next to him, and saw the corners of the girl's mouth raised, smiling very sincerely.
But the hand on his lap grabbed the corner of his shirt hard.
He picked up his teacup, drank it quietly, and then turned his gaze to the other side.
When Qiao Ruoqing heard Wu Shan's words, she didn't know if she was really happy or what, she covered her mouth and laughed twice, and leaned towards Huo Jingyuan.
Huo Jingyuan, who was ordering, held the menu in one hand, and subconsciously held Qiao Ruoqing in the other, raised his eyes to look at her, and the word "careful" came out low, with a peerless charm.
Wu Shan's hand grasped the corners of her clothes tighter.
Was it her delusion? I always feel that Qiao Ruoqing tonight is different from when I saw it before.
The last time I saw her at the Huo family, she was obviously still ......
"Wu Shan, you don't mind if I call you that, do you?" Qiao Ruoqing leaned half of her body on Huo Jingyuan's body, and looked at Wu Shan with crooked eyebrows.
Mind me, can you mind?
However, even if you don't mind anymore, can you say it?
No.
"How so?" Wu Shan also bent her eyebrows, "I've known Jing Yuan for so long, and you are Jing Yuan's girlfriend, so we were originally friends." ”
Her words sounded very polite, but Qiao Ruoqing heard other information from them.
Been known for so long? So Wu Shan is showing off her friendship with Huo Jingyuan?
It's a pity that if you talk about time, they have known each other for a longer time.
"Really?" Qiao Ruoqing turned her head to look at Huo Jingyuan, just as Huo Jingyuan finished ordering, returned the menu to the waiter, and also looked at her.
The eyes of the two people met in the air, obviously not saying a word, but everyone present could feel the fiery feelings and ambiguity between them.
Qiao Ruoqing seemed to be in a good mood and kept laughing, "Jing Yuan, when did we meet?" ”
Hearing Qiao Ruoqing ask about this, Huo Jingyuan couldn't help but think of what happened when he was a child, and there was warmth between his eyebrows and eyes.
At that time, Qiao Ruoqing was still very young, and Tang Lan and Jiang Shuyi had a good relationship, so Jiang Shuyi often took Qiao Ruoqing to the Huo family to play.
Qiao Ruoqing was very lively when she was a child, she loved to laugh and make trouble, Huo Jingyuan was a few years older than her, and she was mature since she was a child, she didn't talk much, and she couldn't talk to Qiao Ruoqing.
At that time, Huo Jingyuan had a dog, and he liked it very much, and he had to take it out for a walk every day when he came back from school.
Until the day when Jiang Shuyi took Qiao Ruoqing to Huo's house, Qiao Ruoqing cried when she saw the dog, and then Tang Lan sent Huo Jingyuan's dog away, no matter what Huo Jingyuan said, it was useless.
From that time on, Huo Jingyuan's impression of Qiao Ruoqing was very bad, he felt that this was just a little girl who didn't know anything, and she was also making trouble for people.
So much so that for many years afterward, this idea has been haunting him in his heart, even if Tang Lan asked him to help Qiao Ruoqing, he was not very willing.
If it weren't for the fear that Tang Lan would be worried, he wouldn't even care about Qiao Ruoqing, and he wouldn't even take a second look.
I forgot when it was, Huo Jingyuan knew that in fact, Qiao Ruoqing was allergic to dog hair, she had it once before, it was very serious, she lived in the hospital for several days, the little girl was squeamish again, and she was afraid of injections, and since then she has a shadow on the dog, and she is afraid when she sees it.
Although he knew this, the image of Qiao Ruoqing's brutal and willful in his mind at that time had already been ingrained, and Qiao Ruoqing was chasing Song Mingyuan like crazy at that time......
Thinking of Song Mingyuan, the corners of his slightly upturned lips sank little by little, and the warmth between his eyebrows gradually dissipated.
Although he knew that Qiao Ruoqing hated Song Mingyuan so much now, he wished he had nothing, but after all, he was the person Qiao Ruoqing liked. Everyone
After all, it was the person who once made Qiao Ruoqing desperate to pursue and want to be together.
Like, a little jealous.
Wu Shan clearly captured Huo Jingyuan's emotions, and was overjoyed, but knew that he couldn't expose it, so he could only ask cautiously: "Jingyuan, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Meng Zizhao sat on the other side of Huo Jingyuan, and naturally noticed it, although he didn't know what was going on, he could feel that the air pressure around him began to drop little by little.
Afraid that something would happen, Mencius Zhao slapped Huo Jingyuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jingyuan should be reminiscing about the time when he met Ruoqing, right?" But that was when I was very young, right? Maybe Jing Yuan can't remember clearly......"
"Yes." Huo Jingyuan let out a faint voice, looking at the girl next to him, with a light in his eyes, like a bright galaxy.
He just looked at Qiao Ruoqing like this, and didn't say anything, but it was too beautiful to say.
Bending the corners of his lips, Huo Jingyuan chuckled and held Qiao Ruoqing's hand on the edge of the table, "When I was fourteen years old, you were nine years old, wearing a little pink dress, two small braids, and a butterfly hairpin between the ends of your hair. ”
His pronunciation is very light, but every word clearly falls into the ears of others.
Wu Shan narrowed her eyes.
Huo Jingyuan...... Do you remember it so clearly? I remember the age when the two met, but even Qiao Ruoqing remembered the dress at that time.
But isn't he completely insensitive to these things? As long as it is clean and tidy, he never cares about what others wear, but for Qiao Ruoqing, he remembers her clothes, colors, and even the hair accessories on her head.
Mencius was also surprised.
In the past, when Tang Lan asked Huo Jingyuan to help Qiao Ruoqing, Mencius Zhao once heard Huo Jingyuan complain, saying that Qiao Ruoqing had been unreasonable and domineering since he was a child.
Although Huo Jingyuan only complained once, Mencius Zhao could also feel Huo Jingyuan's deep resentment towards Qiao Ruoqing at that time.
It was also because of this that he was so surprised when he knew that Huo Jingyuan actually liked Qiao Ruoqing.
But how long has it been? Why did Huo Jingyuan talk about Qiao Ruoqing, as if all the pink bubbles were floating in his memory?
In fact, it was not only them, but even Qiao Ruoqing herself was shocked.
So many years ago, even if it is only a physical memory-Huo Jingyuan can only be regarded as a physical memory-it was fourteen years ago, she even forgot what she was wearing at the time, Huo Jingyuan could remember it so clearly?
Seeing Qiao Ruoqing's somewhat stunned look, Huo Jingyuan raised his hand and helped her comb the hair on her forehead, and her every move was very careful, as if there was a white porcelain doll in front of her, which would be broken if she was not careful.
"And," the curvature of Huo Jingyuan's lips deepened, "My mother also sent my dog away because of her." ”
Yao Shuangshuang, who was drinking tea, was choked carelessly, and quickly put down the teacup and coughed violently.
Meng Zizhao was taken aback, and while taking a tissue to wipe the water stains at the corners of Yao Shuangshuang's mouth, he gently patted her back, and at the same time did not forget to turn his head and glare at Huo Jingyuan.
"Jing Yuan, it was such a warm memory just now, can you not jump out like this? You see, it scared my daughter-in-law and son. ”
Huo Jingyuan continued to look at Qiao Ruoqing as if he hadn't heard it.
Qiao Ruoqing was a little embarrassed.
Just now, I felt that Huo Jingyuan was very moved to remember things for so long, why did he become like this now......
"It's been so many years, can you not mention it?" Qiao Ruoqing complained in a low voice.
Sun Yao smiled, "It seems that Mr. Huo has true love for Miss Qiao, and he remembers things so clearly for so many years." ”
Wu Shan glanced at Sun Yao, she pursed the corners of her lips tightly, and her eyes were full of warning.
Sun Yao obviously saw it, but he didn't care, but leaned back in the chair, looking complacent.
Wu Shan hung her head and bit her back molars hard in a place that others couldn't see.
Sun Yao: This is on purpose?
"I'm also surprised that Jing Yuan can remember it so clearly." Qiao Ruoqing smiled and complained in a low voice: "But can you stop talking about that kind of thing?" ”
It's embarrassing, as if she's so unreasonable.
Huo Jingyuan didn't care at all, and even kissed Qiao Ruoqing's side face in public, "I remember everything about you." ”
Especially Song Mingyuan's matter.
At this meal, Wu Shan ate very quietly and was very uncomfortable, and soon said that she was leaving.
Meng Zizhao was a little worried, "Wu Shan, can you go back alone?" Otherwise, my daughter-in-law and I will send you later. ”
Wu Shan refused in her heart.
Huo Jingyuan and Qiao Ruoqing were sprinkling all kinds of dog food on the dining table to show their affection, and her eyes were almost rotten, so she didn't want to see others Mencius Zhao and Yao Shuangshuang greasy and crooked on the way back.
It's just that if you refuse directly, it doesn't seem to be good.
Wu Shan was still thinking about how to refuse Meng Zizhao's kindness, and Sun Yao had already stood up over there, "I'll stop by with Wu Shan, I'll just send her back, and you can continue to talk." ”
Meng Zizhao thought about it and felt that it was okay to do so, so he didn't insist anymore, Wu Shan didn't say anything, and said a few words that reassured Huo Jingyuan and Mencius Zhao.
