Chapter 445: It Turned Out to Be You
After dinner, the two walked out of the restaurant, letting the evening breeze blow gently, Jiang Xueyi's heart became more and more comfortable.
Just after eating, just as Jiang Xueyi made up her mind to wave her hand to settle the bill, the waiter smiled and said to her that Mr. Xi had already settled the bill.
That's right. Jiang Xueyi couldn't help but think that Xi Mu went to the bathroom during the meal, and it should have been at that time to settle the account.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xueyi, who has always thought that life is not a soap bubble drama, has also experienced such a bloody and romantic plot.
Although she has such an experience, Jiang Xueyi is very self-aware and clearly understands that she will not be the heroine of those bubble dramas.
At this time, Jiang Xueyi was a little embarrassed about Xi Mu taking the lead in paying. But since the wallet is not empty, it doesn't seem like a difficult thing to solve.
Ha ha...... Jiang Xueyi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, of course, at the same time, she was also planning to pay for Xi Mu to have a meal one day, and then she must find a restaurant that can afford to spend. After all, you can't owe people a favor in vain.
"Hey! What do you think? Xi Mu waved her hand in front of Jiang Xueyi's eyes with a smile, trying to retrieve her wandering soul.
"Ah...... Nothing. Suddenly, Jiang Xueyi, who was in a daze, realized that the two of them had walked in front of Xi Mu's car unconsciously, but she was still standing stupidly, without the slightest intention of getting into the car.
"Are you waiting, do you want me to be a gentleman?" Xi Mu said badly.
"What?" Jiang Xueyi didn't understand what Xi Mu meant.
"Come, beautiful princess, please come in." Suddenly, Jiang Xueyi heard Xi Mu suppressing his voice and pretending to be the tone of those knights in the movie, and then half-bowed, giving Jiang Xueyi this joyful scene.
"Hahaha......" Jiang Xueyi smiled a little shyly, but also sat in the co-pilot with Xi Mu.
After getting into the car, Xi Mu was not in a hurry to start. He looked at Jiang Xueyi quietly, and then said unhurriedly: "It's still very early, can I take you somewhere?"
"Yes, where are you going?" Jiang Xueyi looked at the time, it was indeed early, so she readily agreed.
"You'll know when the time comes." Xi Mu pretended to be mysterious, and then started the car.
“……”
Jiang Xueyi, as always, remained silent after not knowing how to answer, and then turned her head slightly to look at the night scene outside the window.
The city in front of me is really bigger than I imagined! Scenes of night scenes passed by Jiang Xueyi's eyes one by one, which also aroused the feelings hidden in her heart one by one.
Although she has been in this city for so many years, Jiang Xueyi still feels that she lacks some sense of belonging, and even now she always feels that if she doesn't pay attention, her small self will be swallowed up by this huge city.
Inexplicably, thinking about it, her thoughts returned to what she had encountered today, which made Jiang Xueyi, who was already sentimental, begin to feel a trace of melancholy in her heart.
Xi Mu on the side quietly looked at the people beside her, and from her slightly distracted eyes, Xi Mu also more or less sensed some of her emotions, and a trace of unspeakable pity surged in her heart.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the mysterious destination in Xi Mu's mouth.
Taking advantage of Jiang Xueyi's time to unbuckle her seat belt, Xi Mu quickly got out of the car and walked outside Jiang Xueyi's car door. As if to echo the gentleman's behavior of opening the door before getting into the car, right now, Xi Mu is naturally waiting to pick Jiang Xueyi out of the car with a graceful manner.
Looking at Xi Mu's polite appearance, even though she was a little embarrassed, Jiang Xueyi still put her fingers on the palm of Xi Mu's hand stretched out to her.
"Thank you." Jiang Xueyi said with some embarrassment, and then quietly withdrew her hand from Xi Mu's palm.
Just like that, the two walked into a bar on the side of the road.
As she walked, Jiang Xueyi observed the bar and felt a familiar feeling.
"I'm supposed to have been here before, right? It always feels so familiar. Jiang Xueyi said thoughtfully.
"Hmm. If so, think about when you came? What to do? Xi Mu said meaningfully. He had long been mentally prepared for Jiang Xueyi's goldfish-like memory.
"Ah...... I think about it......" Jiang Xueyi looked around at her surroundings, and then tried to recall.
Slowly, he followed Xi Mu to the edge of his seat, and the moment he sat down, in an instant, the previous memories swept into Jiang Xueyi's mind.
Looking at Xi Mu who was looking at her gently, Jiang Xueyi finally realized it.
"You! It's really you! Jiang Xueyi exclaimed in disbelief.
"What? Did you remember me before? Xi Mu looked at Jiang Xueyi's surprised appearance and couldn't laugh a little, but he felt more or less relieved in his heart, after all, this stupid girl still remembered herself.
"Hmm. In fact, the first time I saw you in the palace office, I felt familiar, but then you didn't mention it, and after getting along gradually, I felt that you were different from that night, so I thought it was two people. Jiang Xueyi replied truthfully.
"What's the difference? If you think it's two people, then why did you ask me if you had seen me at the dinner just now? Xi Mu looked at Jiang Xueyi and asked the question in his heart with some amusement.
"That's it...... It doesn't feel the same. ”
"And then, I asked you this question entirely because I was a little nervous at the time, and then I was a little curious as well. Because it feels like you look too much like the man that night. Jiang Xueyi was a little embarrassed to keep looking at Xi Mu, so she shifted her gaze slightly.
"Can you not be a person in the first place?" Xi Mu replied with a helpless smile.
"So, you're here to answer my question." Jiang Xueyi asked herself blankly and replied.
"That's right. Otherwise? What do you think is the reason? Xi Mu thought that he had heard a taste of grievance in Jiang Xueyi's answer, so he answered her a little badly.
"No ......" Jiang Xueyi stammered and wanted to argue something, but before the words could be spoken, Xi Mu answered one step ahead of her.
"Think I'm interested in you? Is it that I can't wait to tell you that I've met you before? Or are you just looking for an excuse to stay with you a little longer? ”
"......" Listening to Xi Mu's words, Jiang Xueyi was a little speechless. She admitted that she had a heart for Xi Mu, but she was too timid to answer the explicit questions he said so directly.
"Okay. Since you don't answer, let me answer for you! That's right, in fact, I have a ...... for you" Through the blurry lights of the bar, Xi Muxin, who had been looking at Jiang Xueyi, had already become a mess, so that he, who had always claimed to be rational, almost revealed his heart without thinking about it.
I don't know if I should be glad that an abrupt mobile phone ringtone terminated Xi Mu's unspoken confession.
Jiang Xueyi took out her mobile phone, and then after seeing the name flashing on the screen, she made an apologetic expression to Xi Mu and went to the door to answer the phone.
"Hello? Cousin, what's wrong? After walking out of the bar, the complicated lights were replaced by bright moonlight, and the surroundings were quiet, and even the air seemed more circulating.
"I heard that you were promoted to the secretary's office today, right?" Fang Ru's voice came from the microphone. Inexplicably, Jiang Xueyi vaguely felt that her Fang Ru's voice today was a little weird.
"Well, yes. But, cousin, I ...... It's a lot of trouble to talk about, and I can't tell you clearly on the phone for a while, so I originally planned to take some time to talk to you alone that day. Jiang Xueyi couldn't figure out Fang Ru's emotions on the other end of the phone, but she had no way to deny it, she was unwilling to lie to deceive Fang Ru.
In fact, for today's events, Jiang Xueyi originally planned to hide it from Fang Ru. She knew Fang Ru, so she also knew that Fang Ru, who had always been very smart, was a competitive character, if she knew what she was doing today, then she would definitely feel unbalanced in her heart.
"Huh...... Don't tell me clearly. Anyway, whether you are promoted or not has nothing to do with me at all. Fang Ru's voice carried irrepressible irony.
Jiang Xueyi was naturally aware of this.
At this time, her intuition told her that Fang Ru must have heard about this from the mouth of someone with bad intentions, so she misunderstood her.
"Sister, listen to me explain to you......" Jiang Xueyi said patiently and a little aggrieved.
"Explain? I think you're in a hurry to show me off, right? That's right, in a situation like mine, such a company naturally can't compare with you. ”
"However, I still hope you can understand that if it weren't for me, I don't think you would even be able to step into the door of the Gong Clan." Fang Ru said sourly, and the resentment towards Jiang Xueyi in her heart became deeper and deeper.
"Sister......" Jiang Xueyi is now dumb and eats coptis, and she can't tell if she has suffering. But no matter how helpless she was, she had to explain it clearly to Fang Ru.
"Don't call me pretend. Aren't you tired? ”
"I've finally seen through it now."
"Well, I won't waste your precious time. I didn't have anything else to do when I called you today, I just wanted to tell you personally. ”
"Congratulations......" Fang Ru said this sarcastically and resentfully, and immediately hung up the phone.
And Jiang Xueyi immediately wanted to call over, but the other party seemed to understand her purpose, leaving only a hollow dripping sound echoing in the mobile phone.
What can I do? Jiang Xueyi, who knew Fang Ru's temperament well, didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
