Chapter Forty-Seven: Rivals in Love Meet
About 10 days passed
At noon, Wen Yuan and the three of them ate together in the company cafeteria, and Lin Xuan actually asked Liu Yuyang to come to the house for dinner. Ruchu and Wen Yuan both felt a little incredible, and they didn't understand why Lin Xuan suddenly thought of this. Lin Xuan said, "Last time, I said that I had time to ask Liu Yuyang out for dinner, and since the company is not busy today, it will be set today."
As early as he said, "I thought you were just politely polite, but are you still serious?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "Of course it's serious, when have I ever joked?" ”
Ruchu said: "Then you said that if you invite people to dinner today, they may not have time!" ”
Lin Xuan said, "I think he must have time, you ask, if you don't have time, forget it, can't I make it for you to eat?" ”
Wen Yuan also wondered, Lin Xuan and Liu Yuyang were not familiar with each other, why did he invite Liu Yuyang to dinner? Or go to eat at home. Wen Yuan asked, "Do you have anything to ask him for help?" ”
Ruchu also agreed with Wen Yuan's guess, and looked at Lin Xuan with a questioning expression. Lin Xuan said: "Today, I cook by myself, don't you want to eat?" ”
Wen Yuan said, "I want to, why don't I want to." Then you can call him and ask him! ”
"Oh" Ruchu got up and went outside to make a call, leaving Lin Xuan and Wen Yuan behind
Wen Yuan turned his head and glanced at Ruchu who was on the phone, and asked Lin Xuan in a low voice, "Are you stimulated by something, why do you want to ask other men to eat at home, the key is that you are still a man who has been on a blind date with Ruchu?" You're not afraid that he will rob you like ever."
Lin Xuan said, "In my opinion, he has this idea"
Wen Yuan was very surprised and said, "Then you still let Ruchu ask him, aren't you afraid that the two of them will get too close?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "That's why I'm going to ask him to go to the house for dinner, and when you and Hu Zheng cooperate with me in the evening, I'm going to make him completely dead to the heart of Ruchu."
Only then did Wen Yuan understand what Lin Xuan was going to do, and reminded, "That's why you can think of this way to deal with your rival in love, you have to pay attention to yourself, don't really give him a chance to cheat him out of Ruchu at that time." Don't worry, Hu Zheng and I will cooperate with you."
Wen Yuan watched Ruchu hang up the phone and immediately lowered his head to eat, for fear that Ruchu would find out about his conspiracy with Lin Xuan
Originally, it was five o'clock before it was time to get off work, but Lin Xuan left the company at four o'clock with Ruchu to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. Ruchu followed Lin Xuan to enjoy special treatment while complaining, "It's good to be the boss, you can get off work early with a higher salary than others, really don't be so excessive"
Lin Xuan said, "Then why don't I go back first, and then you can continue to work for another hour and then get off work with them?" ”
As before, he immediately retracted his righteous words, and made his attitude clear, "Don't, I'm your assistant, and I'm responsible for my own work, of course, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Lin Xuan looked at Ruchu and said, "Then don't hurry up and get in the car, we won't go back yet."
In the supermarket, Lin Xuan pushed the shopping cart and walked behind Ruchu, who transferred the various snacks on the shelves to the shopping cart one after another. Lin Xuan looked at the time, and there was still an hour and a half before the appointed time. Lin Xuan was not in a hurry, so he slowly followed behind Ruchu and let Ruchu carry snacks. When Ruchu put a box of canned bear biscuits into the shopping cart, Ruchu finally realized that the shopping cart had been occupied by snacks in half of the space, and the purpose of coming to the supermarket to buy groceries was almost forgotten by herself. Ruchu looked at Lin Xuan a little embarrassed and asked, "Should we go and choose dishes?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "It's okay, it's still early, if you have a good snack pick, let's go and choose the dishes."
Ruchu bought everything he wanted to buy, and said with a satisfied smile, "I've picked it out, then let's go over there to buy vegetables."
Looking at the various dishes on the cabinet, it was like the first time. asked Lin Xuan, "What kind of food are we going to buy?" I don't know what Brother Yuyang likes to eat."
Lin Xuan carefully selected the chicken breast in front of him and said, "It doesn't matter what he likes to eat, you can just pick what you want to eat."
Ruchu was a little puzzled and said, "Huh? Didn't you say invite people to dinner? How do you tell me to pick what I like to eat? ”
Lin Xuan looked at Ruchu's stupid appearance and said, "You also said that you don't know what you like to eat, we are all from the same place, and the taste should be much different, so I said that I will choose according to the dishes you want to eat, otherwise what should I do?" ”
Ruchu suddenly realized that "yes, it seems that we all have similar tastes, so the difference between the dishes we like to eat should not be very big"
After choosing the dishes, Lin Xuan pushed the shopping cart to pay, three whole packages, the dishes were only packed in a plastic bag, and the remaining two bags were all snacks as before. After settling the account, Ruchu went to pick up things, and Lin Xuan asked Ruchu to carry a bag containing three packs of potato chips, and the remaining two packs of heavier ones were all carried by Lin Xuan
When Ruchu and Lin Xuan went home, Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan had already returned
Lin Xuan put the snacks on the coffee table, and then took the dishes to the kitchen. Wen Yuan also followed Lin Xuan into the kitchen, and Lin Xuan asked, "Did you tell Hu Zheng?" ”
Wen Yuan said, "Don't worry, it's all said, we will definitely cooperate with you, you say you too, if you like her, tell her, why hide it"
Lin Xuan glanced at Ruchu in the living room and said, "It's not time yet."
Wen Yuan didn't know what Lin Xuan was afraid of, and asked, "It's not time yet, so when will it be time?" Don't wait until she's chased away by someone else and you regret it."
Lin Xuan said, "No, I won't let her be chased by others." I'm going to wait until her heart is empty before I tell her."
After getting along for such a long time, Wen Yuan didn't know that he liked him as before, because he only had Hu Zheng in his heart, and he never saw others. Wen Yuan didn't understand why Lin Xuan said that he wanted to wait for the heart to be empty, could it be that there was someone he liked in the heart? Wen Yuan thought silently
The doorbell rang, opened the door as before, and Liu Yuyang arrived
Liu Yuyang held the gift for Ruchu with both hands, and Ruchu said, "Brother Yuyang, it's good for you to come, why do you buy so many things, how embarrassed we are when you are like this"
Liu Yuyang said, "Isn't this the first time I've come to visit, I won't bring it next time?"
Lin Xuan and Wen Yuan came out of the kitchen, Lin Xuan greeted Liu Yuyang, and then introduced Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan to Liu Yuyang, and Liu Yuyang greeted Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan in turn.
Ruchu beckoned Liu Yuyang to sit down on the sofa, and then Hu Zheng poured Liu Yuyang a glass of water and handed it to him
As soon as Ruchu was about to sit down and chat with Liu Yuyang, Wen Yuan called Ruchu, "Ruchu, you go and help Lin Xuan get a dish, he said that I didn't do as well as you, and he disliked me."
Ruchu thought about when I helped Lin Xuan get the dishes, but he still promised, "Oh, okay, come right away", and then said to Liu Yuyang a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Yuyang, I'll help him get it."
Liu Yuyang said, "It's okay, you can go"
Wen Yuan came over and said, "Go ahead, Hu Zheng and I will chat with Brother Yu Yang, the content of the two of us chatting with Brother Yu Yang must be much more interesting than you chatting with Brother Yu Yang alone."
Ruchu went to the kitchen, Wen Yuan and Hu Zheng sat on the sofa and chatted with Liu Yuyang
In the kitchen
Ruchu asked Lin Xuan, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”
Lin Xuan looked around and said, "You can help me pick the celery leaves."
As before, he said "OK" obediently
Lin Xuan was chopping vegetables, choosing vegetables as before, and the scene was harmonious. Wen Yuan looked at the scene in the kitchen and pretended to say casually, "You see how well they are compatible."
Liu Yuyang glanced at the kitchen and didn't answer Wen Yuan's words, but said with a smile: "I heard that you have been classmates since junior high school?" ”
Hu Zheng said, "Yes."
Liu Yuyang continued, "Then there should be no possibility for the two of them, after all, if the two of them had feelings, they would have been together a long time ago."
originally wanted Liu Yuyang to see the picture of Ruchu and Lin Xuan's warm and tacit understanding, and he took the initiative to give up competing with Lin Xuan, but he didn't expect Liu Yuyang to talk about the friendship between Ruchu and Lin Xuan. Wen Yuan deeply expressed his sympathy for Lin Xuan in his heart. But the seat is a good brother, even if the enemy is difficult to entangle, Wen Yuan still supports Lin Xuan strongly.
Wen Yuan said: "This is not necessarily, after all, if you stay together for a long time, it will be easy to confuse the true feelings in your heart." According to what we know about Ru at the beginning, she is completely the kind of love novice who will confuse friendship and love."
Liu Yuyang smiled awkwardly and said, "You're right," and then turned to chat with Hu Zheng. Wen Yuan saw that Liu Yuyang and Hu Zheng were chatting, and couldn't help but complain in his heart why Lin Xuan wanted to invite other boys to come to the house for dinner
Lin Xuan's cooking speed was very fast, and it took about forty minutes for a dinner of five dishes and one soup to be served. In the past, only the four of them sat together with Hu Zheng and Ruchu, but today there is a Liu Yuyang, and Ruchu doesn't know what's going on, so he sits in the middle of Liu Yuyang and Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan smiled and said to Liu Yuyang, "Brother Yuyang, you must eat more, I don't know what dishes you usually like to eat, so I come to these dishes according to the original taste, I hope you don't mind"
Liu Yuyang also smiled and said, "How can you mind, although I haven't spent as much time with Ruchu as you, but I also probably learned about Ruchu's taste, and I found that I have the same taste as her."
! ”
After the whole meal, Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan didn't say a word, and they always adhered to the purpose that silence is golden, and ate quietly. Lin Xuan and Liu Yuyang have been talking, and every sentence is unfolding around Ruchu, Ruchu was sandwiched in the middle, and there was no way, so they could only promise to use ""Uh-huh, ah, yes" to survive the whole meal.
In the past, Lin Xuan had always been the least talkative among them, but as long as Liu Yuyang appeared in the past few times, Lin Xuan would become very talkative. Ruchu really doubted whether Lin Xuan had any other thoughts about Liu Yuyang
Except for Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan, two onlookers, the three of them ate very hard at the beginning, and it felt like participating in a crucial negotiation. Fortunately, dinner was finally over, and Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan were afraid that the war would affect their two innocent pond fish, so they took the initiative to take charge of washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. Ruchu also wanted to escape from the strange chat atmosphere created by Lin Xuan and the two boys, but considering that Liu Yuyang was a guest invited by himself, he was really embarrassed to slip away, Ruchu could only sit on the sofa and listen to Lin Xuan and Liu Yuyang chatting back and forth, and then when asked about himself, he said a sentence or two
In the hour after eating, Lin Xuan told Liu Yuyang about the first time he and Ruchu met, spoke for the first time, became the same table, supervised Ruchu in class, helped Ruchu review and improve his grades, and specially recalled to Liu Yuyang that when he was on a junior high school graduation trip, Ruchu also said that he would be responsible for Lin Xuan and support him.
Liu Yuyang is a smart person, so he naturally knows what Lin Xuan means when he tells him this, but Liu Yuyang is not a person who admits defeat so easily. Liu Yuyang also told Lin Xuan about his first acquaintance with Ru and his later blind date.
Liu Yuyang especially mentioned to Lin Xuan that he had a good relationship with Ru's father and Ru's mother, although he and Ruchu had not known each other since childhood, and their parents also watched them grow up at that time
Later, we talked a lot, and when I saw that the time was not early, Liu Yuyang said, "Then let's get here today, thank you very much for cooking and entertaining me today, next time I have time, I will invite you to dinner."
As early as he said, "Then I'll send you downstairs"
Liu Yuyang said, "No need, my big boy still needs you to send it to a girl!" Just watch your TV."
Lin Xuan said, "Then I'll send you downstairs, I just want to go downstairs to get a courier."
Liu Yuyang said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you"
After Lin Xuan and Liu Yuyang left, they asked Hu Zheng as before, "This will be the courier room that has already left work, right?" ”
Hu Zheng said, "Well, people close at half past six"
Ruchu said, "Then Lin Xuan also said that what kind of courier to take, alas, don't you think Lin Xuan is a little strange today?" ”
Wen Yuan knew what Ru Chu meant, and deliberately asked, "That's strange?" ”
Ruchu said, "Lin Xuan has been talking to Brother Yu Yang during dinner today, and the previous two times, I always feel that Lin Xuan and Brother Yu Yang are weird."
Wen Yuan said, "I think it's okay"
Ruchu gossiped and asked, "Do you think Lin Xuan has anything else to think about Brother Yuyang?" ”
Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan looked at Ruchu's gossipy expression, and immediately guessed what Ruchu was referring to, Hu Zheng was not surprised that Ruchu would think so, because Hu Zheng knew that Ruchu was the sequelae of watching too many rainbow dramas.
Hu Zheng and Ruchu looked at each other and smiled without speaking, Wen Yuan looked at Ruchu's smile and was a little cautious, and immediately understood what Ruchu meant. Wen Yuan was suddenly amused by the dullness and brain hole of the beginning, and said, "Don't let Lin Xuan hear what you say, otherwise I'm afraid he will vomit blood from your anger." I've confirmed, it's you, the big fool."
Ruchu didn't understand why Wen Yuan suddenly laughed, and then said that he was a big fool, Ruchu looked at Hu Zheng with an innocent face, Hu Zheng was amused by Ruchu's stupidity and said, "This time I think Wen Yuan is quite right, don't let Lin Xuan know your brain-opening thoughts" Hu Zheng and Wen Yuan laughed while silently worrying for Lin Xuan, when will Ruchu know Lin Xuan's heart for her
It's not that Ruchu is too stupid, it's just that Ruchu has always just set his eyes on Wen Yuan, and automatically and selectively ignored the people around him
in the elevator
Liu Yuyang and Lin Xuan stood side by side, neither of them wanted to take the initiative to talk to each other, they were silent for a few seconds, and Liu Yuyang suddenly said, "I know that you also like Ruchu, although you and Ruchu have known each other earlier than me, and have spent more time together than me, but I don't think these will make you know much more about Ruchu than I do." I can see that Ruchu has someone I like, and I can be sure that that person is not you. So the chances are the same for both of us."
Although Lin Xuan also kept smiling, his voice was very indifferent and said, "You think you know Ruchu, that's just that you think that although the person Ruchu likes now is not me, but the person who will be with Ruchu in the future must be me, don't waste your time"
After listening to Lin Xuan's words, Liu Yuyang was not angry, but said with a smile, "From the first time we met, I felt that the two of us were very similar in some aspects, if it weren't for the beginning, I think we would have become friends."
Lin Xuan said, "Because we can also become friends as before, don't worry, when I get married with Ruchu, I will definitely invite you to attend our wedding as a friend."
Liu Yuyang listened to Lin Xuan's war letter, and said without backing down, "The same thing I want to say to you"
The elevator went to the first floor, and Lin Xuan said a little proudly, "When I arrive, I won't send you, I have to go back to watch TV with Ruchu"
Liu Yuyang said, "Thank you, don't send it"
After Lin Xuan went upstairs, he saw Ruchu sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating fruit, Lin Xuan asked Ruchu, "Didn't you eat just now?" ”
Ruchu said, "I'm full, so I ate some fruit to eliminate my appetite, Brother Yuyang went back?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "Hmm"
Ruchu looked at Lin Xuan with a scrutinizing face, Lin Xuan felt the strangeness in Ruchu's eyes, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Ruchu actually wanted to ask what Lin Xuan would become very abnormal as soon as he met Liu Yuyang, did he really have any thoughts about Liu Yuyang, but when he thought of what Wen Yuan and Hu Zheng had just said, he instantly didn't have the courage to ask. Ruchu hurriedly shifted his gaze and denied it, "No, how can I look at you"
