Chapter 255: Frank (Second Watch)
The car drove for a few minutes, and Qiqi saw that Su Xiaoran still had a tense face and didn't speak, so he asked cautiously: "Dear, are you okay?" ”
Su Xiaoran still didn't speak, Gu Bei, who was driving, observed her expression from the rearview mirror, and her eyes were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, the more unhappy Su Xiaoran was, it meant that she cared about Chenxi very much.
Tonight's meal is not only unhappy for Chenxi alone, but also for him. Su Xiaoran and Su's mother seemed to be doing it against each other, one pulling Chenxi; The other pulled him. By the time he got to the back, he had already begun to resist Su's mother's kindness to him, because this would only get Su Xiaoran more attention to Chenxi.
"Xiaoran is not happy, then let's not go to the bar to play, I will take you to a snack bar opened by my friend, which is quieter." Gu Bei pondered for a long time and said.
Qiqi had no opinion, turned his head and asked Su Xiaoran to make an idea, Su Xiaoran didn't want to keep his face on the table, so he complied with Gu Bei's meaning, "Then I will trouble you to arrange it." ”
Gu Bei drove the car to the door of a snack bar. Su Xiaoran and Qiqi got out of the car, and their attention was instantly attracted by the surrounding environment.
This snack bar is not in the downtown area, but in the city's wealthiest district, Chengnan District, and the storefront is all made of mahogany wood, with a large open space in front of the door, and a row of trees lined with glittering lights. When I looked closely, there didn't seem to be any customers in the store, and when I was wondering, a handsome young foreign guy came out of the store and walked towards them with a smile: "I was about to ask when you will arrive, so I can tell the kitchen to cut the sashimi." ”
"Xiaoran, Qiqi, let me introduce you, this is my good friend when I was in San Francisco, Frank."
Gu Bei was very happy to see his friend, the two hugged each other, Qiqi and Su Xiaoran looked at the 'Frank' in a daze, they both felt that this name was familiar, but they didn't know where they had heard it.
However, people are really handsome, even Qiqi who often lingers among handsome guys can't help but take a few more looks, although Gu Bei is tall enough, but Frank looks a head taller than him, and he should be more than one meter and nine.
"Hello, this must be Su Xiaoran, right?" Frank actually guessed who Su Xiaoran was without introducing him, which made Su Xiaoran very surprised, Qiqi was speechless, "Gu Bei must have been talking about her in front of you often, right?" Long haired, ladylike, not like me, looks like a bad guy at first glance. ”
Qiqi couldn't help but interject, Frank was amused by Qiqi, showing his white and neat teeth: "You are Qiqi, and you really live up to your reputation." ”
"What do you mean...... Well deserved? Do I have such a bad reputation? Qiqi glared at Gu Bei dissatisfied, and Gu Bei had no choice but to explain, "You are so lively, everyone likes you." ”
"Poor mouth."
"You guys sit down first, I'll go and tell the back kitchen to cook a few side dishes, and take two pots for a long time."
After Frank left, Su Xiaoran reacted: "Isn't he a foreigner?" How is Chinese so good? ”
"Frank was married to a Chinese girl, but then divorced."
Gu Bei whispered, and told them not to ask, the divorce was still a big blow to Frank, so he gave up everything in the United States and came to live in China.
"What an affectionate man, I just don't know why his wife divorced him." Qiqi sighed, Su Xiaoran's first impression of Frank was also good, they all said that like gathers like things, he, like Gu Bei, can always make people feel kind and natural when they meet for the first time.
"Things are very complicated between them, I can't tell, believe it or not, he has been married for five years, and I haven't even met his wife." Gu Bei gossiped about himself, and Su Xiaoran and Qiqi both felt incredible, "What kind of person is so mysterious?" ”
"I don't know, but I've heard"
When Gu Bei was about to talk about the key place, Frank walked over with two bottles of wine: "I agreed with the back kitchen, the side dishes will be served in a while, and we will start the wine first." ”
As he spoke, he sat down beside Gu Bei, placed four goblets, poured some of the glass of red wine that he had woken up in advance, and had a charming smile on his face, "Thank you for coming to me today." ”
"Frank, how long have you been in China? This store is good, why didn't I find it before. Qiqi looked around, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked this minor key.
Frank smiled and said, "This shop has only been open for less than half a month, and I have been visiting China a long time ago, but I decided to settle here two months ago." ”
"Are you saying that you won't go back to the United States in the future?" Su Xiaoran was very surprised, she could see that Frank was the same as Gu Bei, he didn't worry about food and clothing, so he could live so chicly, but he was ...... Is he here for his wife?
"Yes, I'm not going back, for me, America is a sad place...... Don't talk about it, drink the bar! ”
Frank raised his wine glass, and the second glass went down, he looked at Su Xiaoran and asked, "Xiaoran, tell me about yourself, Gu Bei is full of praise for you." ”
"What do I have to say, life is a mess, let's listen to Qiqi, her life is colorful." Su Xiaoran had no intention of talking about herself, and pulled Qiqi to be the back.
Qiqi has always liked to talk, and he doesn't mind. "Does Frank have any other friends in China?"
"I ...... Not really. Frank smiled with a little embarrassment, and Gu Bei hurriedly gave Qiqi a look and told her not to ask. Qiqi realized that she had crossed the line, so she smirked, she just meant it, such a handsome man, if she introduced it to those sisters, it is estimated that it will cause them to go crazy.
"It's okay, if you're bored, I can introduce friends to you, I have a lot of friends." Qiqi patted his chest and packed the ticket. Frank thanked her for the kindness, but politely refused: "I want to be quiet at the moment, so ...... I don't really want to reach more people yet. But I'm glad you came, and I hope you can come to me more often in the future, all year round. ”
"Are you just entertaining acquaintances?" Su Xiaoran asked, Gu Bei smiled and helped him respond: "This kid is stubborn, and he has a spiritual cleanliness, he doesn't allow strangers to contact the things he likes, and this store is decorated by him alone according to his favorite style from beginning to end, so he doesn't accept anyone else except me." ”
"So, this isn't a hotel in the real sense of the word?" Qiqi exclaimed, there are still people who are handsome to this extent, usually the rich boy brother is at best just throwing his hands and spending money, why did he come up with the idea of opening a restaurant that is not a hotel?
Play on your own...... Is it fun? Qiqi was puzzled, her first impression felt that Frank was as warm as Gu Bei, and the second impression was that he seemed to have a lot of things in his heart, very mysterious, a little dangerous, and very resistant to others approaching.
Alas, this kind of person is less subtle.
Qiqi thought that he was eating and drinking wine, although it was not as exciting as the lively environment of the bar, but this was also a petty bourgeoisie, so it was not bad to drink a little wine and listen to their chat.
"Xiaoran is not feeling well? It looks bad to look at it. Frank is really careful, when Su Xiaoran was sorry for his undisguisedness, Qiqi's big mouth went online: "I quarreled with my boyfriend, she, as long as she is in a bad mood, it must be because of her boyfriend." ”
"Who said that? I'm not worried about you either, okay? Su Xiaoran stepped on Qiqiyi hard, and Frank smiled to cater to their atmosphere, "Xiaoran and her boyfriend have a good relationship, right?" ”
"It's good, I don't even feel comfortable with them." Gu Bei also began to 'betray' Su Xiaoran, watching them joke about themselves one by one, Su Xiaoran didn't bother to explain, she really cared about Chenxi very much, so she was angry with him.
I don't know, what's wrong with Chenxi? Did Hua Yan catch up with him?
……
At Chenxi's house, he was sitting at the computer desk in a muffled voice browsing company documents, and Hua Yan was sitting in the living room, putting his feet on the sofa, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.
"You've been getting stingy lately." Hua Yan was sure that Chen Xi's mind was not on work, and looked at him and said. Chenxi's eyes still didn't leave the screen, but the voice finally appeared.
"You're no better."
"If you like people, why hesitate? Why don't you buy a bunch of things tomorrow and go to your mother-in-law's house, and buy people? ”
"You know I'm not upset about it."
Chen Xi closed the computer and turned to Hua Yan, "Why didn't you tell me about Xiaoran borrowing money from you?" ”
"First, Su Xiaoran didn't borrow the money from me, and second, Qiqi told me not to tell you."
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then got up and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator: "So you deceived me for Qiqi." ”
"Wronged, there were so many things at that time, who still wanted to explain it to you? I think the problem between you and Su Xiaoran is that you are both self-righteous and think about each other, and you like to carry things hard, and then when the matter is revealed, you blame the other party for not letting yourself share it, which is really tiring. ”
Hua Yan said what he thought in his heart for the first time, he looked at Chen Xi dissatisfied, what he said just now seemed to hit the key point of Chen Xi, he half leaned on the table, looking at the city lights outside the bay window, his eyes were very gloomy.
"You two are too passive, so many things have happened recently, everyone is tired, and you are still angry about these little things, as for it."
Hua Yan saw that it had an effect, and then poked Chenxi's wound. Chenxi was silent, but he was listening carefully to Hua Yan. After a few minutes, he finished the can of beer before turning his head to look at him, "She must still be angry with me, right?" ”
