Chapter 31: Here She Comes
Su Xiaoran made a few dishes with apprehension, and when the dishes were served on the table, Hua Yan was very excited, he kept grabbing the dishes on the plate with his hands and eating, and his mouth kept hamming.
Su Xiaoran stood aside embarrassedly: "Is it really that delicious?" Don't encourage me! ”
"Where? Whoever eats the dishes made by our Su Xiaoran will be full of happiness, don't you say Xiao Chenchen? ”
Hua Yan put her hand on Chen Xi's shoulder, Su Xiaoran looked at Chen Xi uneasily, and Chen Xi just gently pushed Hua Yan's hand and said, "What time is Xiaoyan's plane?" ”
"How did you know she was coming?" Hua Yan was surprised.
"Who else but her?"
"It seems to be the same." Hua Yan sighed, there are only a few friends in Chenxi, and they can be counted on their fingers.
It seems that the effect of the surprise is not very obvious! Hua Yan winked at Su Xiaoran, signaling that the plan had failed, but Su Xiaoran was curious: Who is Xiaoyan? Why did Chenxi seem so intimate when he said this name?
At 7:15, the mysterious guest had not yet arrived, Su Xiaoran had already sat down and drank several glasses of water, while Hua Yan kept protesting that she was hungry.
Finally, the doorbell finally rang, Chenxi got up from the computer desk, and went out to open the door with some brisk steps, and after a while, Su Xiaoran heard a very sweet voice: "Happy birthday, Xiao Chenchen!" ”
Su Xiaoran poked her head out and saw a woman in a big red dress with small short hair walking in with Chenxi.
Hua Yan jumped up happily and pounced directly: "Lawyer Qiao, beautiful girl, I finally looked forward to you, I'm dying of hunger!" ”
Hua Yan directly put her hand on Qiao Xiaoyan's shoulder, Qiao Xiaoyan didn't seem to resist, and punched Hua Yan's elbow: "Just your greedy and poor mouth, say, what bad things have you done recently?" ”
"There is no bad thing, but a good thing is done." Hua Yan smiled and led Qiao Xiaoyan to Su Xiaoran's side, and Su Xiaoran quickly stood up.
"Introduction, Su Xiaoran, Xiao Chenchen, the translator of their company."
Qiao Xiaoyan noticed Su Xiaoran at this time, she looked at Su Xiaoran in surprise, and after the two looked at each other for a minute, Qiao Xiaoyan stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Qiao Xiaoyan, Huayan and Chenxi's old classmates." ”
"Plus, big beauty, barrister, big rich woman!" Hua Yan added with a grin.
"I want you to be poor!" Qiao Xiaoyan scolded Hua Yan with a smile, and then turned to look at Su Xiaoran: "Have you waited for a long time?" Sorry, my plane was delayed. ”
"It's okay, we've just arrived." Su Xiaoran smiled shyly, this Qiao Xiaoyan in front of him had a very powerful aura, not only beautiful appearance, but also a strong woman.
Also, to be friends with Chenxi, it is definitely not an ordinary person.
Su Xiaoran sat down with them awkwardly, Hua Yan and Qiao Xiaoyan sat around Chenxi respectively, and Su Xiaoran sat opposite Chenxi, in the middle of Hua Yan and Qiao Xiaoyan.
"Xiao Yan, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" Hua Yan blinked and looked at Qiao Xiaoyan and asked.
Chenxi also looked at her, seemingly interested in this question. Qiao Xiaoyan was drinking tea, and replied mischievously with his mouth free: "Guess." ”
"I guess? How can I guess that? You've always been here and there, so let's just say the last time I saw you, if I'm not mistaken, it was three months ago, right? I said, you're almost a girl, don't force yourself to be a strong woman, be careful that no one wants you when the time comes! Hua Yan began to threaten.
"If no one wants it, no one wants it, I'm willing!" Qiao Xiaoyan stuck out his tongue at Hua Yan.
"What's so bad about being a strong woman? You don't have the concept of male superiority and inferiority, who said that girls must stay at home and be filial to their husbands and children? I, Qiao Xiaoyan, don't do this kind of thing. Qiao Xiaoyan pretended to be angry, and Chen Xi nodded: "Xiaoyan is right, at least she has dreams, what about you, do you have dreams?" ”
"I don't have a dream, it's my dream to be happy in time!"
Hua Yan was still hehe, Su Xiaoran lowered her head to eat, and found that she couldn't get into the topic between them.
Qiao Xiaoyan may have noticed Su Xiaoran's embarrassment, and she took the initiative to give Su Xiaoran a dish: "Xiaoran, eat quickly, don't be embarrassed, we have always been like this, just count Huayan as the poorest, you have to take care of him!" ”
"Me? I'm not" Su Xiaoran suddenly realized that Qiao Xiaoyan regarded her as Huayan's girlfriend, and she hurriedly explained, but because she was too nervous, she looked like she was nervous because she had discovered a little secret.
"You don't have to be nervous, Huayan and me, and Chenxi are all old classmates in high school, I know what black material the two of them have, if you want to know, I can tell you."
"Don't! How can there be a friend like you? Xiaoran, don't listen to her nonsense. Hua Yan blushed anxiously, but Chen Xi had been eating quietly.
Qiao Xiaoyan was happy when he saw Hua Yan's anxious appearance: "Look at it, there is really a ghost in your heart who is afraid of being known by Xiaoran, right?" Chenxi is different, people don't have black material. ”
Qiao Xiaoyan and Hua Yan fought, and Su Xiaoran put down the dishes and chopsticks, still with a quiet smile on her face.
"Xiaoran, ignore them, eat yours." Chen Xi looked at Su Xiaoran and said. At that moment, Su Xiaoran thought that she had misheard, Chenxi would actually take the initiative to talk to her, which was too unexpected.
Su Xiaoran nodded and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, but she only took them, she forgot what she was going to do.
Qiao Xiaoyan and Hua Yan finally stopped, and both of them looked a little unsatisfied.
"Xiao Yan, it would be good if you were all the time, you don't know, Xiao Chenchen didn't pay attention to me at all when you weren't there, and I was about to suffocate to death all day except for work or work!"
Hua Yan complained a little sadly.
"Chenxi, are you ignoring him again?" Qiao Xiaoyan looked at Hua Yan with some schadenfreude.
"He wants to play all day, who has time to accompany him?" Chen Xi took a big sip of beer, and his eyes were full of emotion when he looked at Qiao Xiaoyan.
"You, don't bother him in the future, if you want to play, you can just go by yourself? Right, Xiaoran? ”
"Huh? Well, right. Su Xiaoran was named again for no reason.
This meal, she ate both uneasy and apprehensive. She really felt that her relationship with Chenxi was not even a friend, so when she faced Qiao Xiaoyan, who was even stranger, she felt even more bottomless.
After eating, Su Xiaoran felt relieved, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks to wash the dishes, but Qiao Xiaoyan insisted on washing, and under the argument between the two, Hua Yan, who was watching TV with a beer bottle on the side, said, "Why don't you two wash it together?" ”
Su Xiaoran's heart chuckled, it only made her more embarrassed. However, Qiao Xiaoyan seemed to be quite happy, watching her walk into the kitchen with a plate, Su Xiaoran had no choice but to follow behind.
"I haven't seen you the last time I came back, so you must have only recently met them, right?" Qiao Xiaoyan asked while washing the dishes.
Su Xiaoran hummed softly, her mind was already out of the situation.
The water from the faucet was rattling, Qiao Xiaoyan looked at Su Xiaoran's skillful movements, and said, "You are so diligent, the food you cooked today is also delicious, do you usually cook at home?" ”
"It's going to burn on the weekend." Su Xiaoran smiled.
"Chenxi's former girlfriend also likes to cook, and she said that the greatest happiness is to watch Chenxi eat the dishes she cooks one bite at a time."
The movement in Su Xiaoran's hand paused, she didn't expect Qiao Xiaoyan to actually mention Xiaomeng to her.
"You know Little Dream, right? I'm sure Hua Yan must have told you. Qiao Xiaoyan continued.
"How do you know?" Su Xiaoran was really surprised, it seemed that Qiao Xiaoyan knew Hua Yan very well.
Sure enough, Qiao Xiaoyan smiled, and then said: "Hua Yan is a rectum, if he likes someone, he will tell all the secrets to that person." ”
"But, me and him"
"I know, you're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. But I know that Huayan likes you, and I can see it when I eat. Any idea how I saw it? Because although Hua Yan is outgoing and familiar with everyone, it can be seen that he is still a little restrained in front of you. Reserved, but not too intimate, this means that you are a potential crush for him. ”
"You are a barrister, and you are very careful about everything."
Su Xiaoran felt more and more ashamed of herself, Qiao Xiaoyan was what she had always wanted to achieve, but she couldn't do.
She is not confident enough, free enough, smart enough, and most importantly, not hard enough, so Chenxi will always find fault with her at work, right?
"Xiaoran, do you like Huayan?" Qiao Xiaoyan turned around, leaned on the edge of the sink and looked at Su Xiaoran with a smile.
"I ...... I do not know. Su Xiaoran didn't dare to say that she didn't like it, she felt that it was hurtful to refuse too directly.
Qiao Xiaoyan didn't ask any further, she washed her hands and said casually: "Actually, I don't plan to leave when I return to China this time, but I haven't told them the news yet." I want to give them a big surprise, and you don't want to say oh, Xiaoran, I hope we can become friends. ”
Qiao Xiaoyan smiled very well, her skin was very fair, her eyes were full of confidence, Su Xiaoran was a little afraid to look directly into her eyes, she felt like an ugly duckling.
"Why have you been talking for so long?" After the two of them walked out, Hua Yan hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, are you still afraid that I will bully Xiaoran?"
"I'm really afraid, who doesn't know that you are the female version of Chenxi, the female devil!"
"Xiaoran, don't be afraid, Young Master Ben protects you!" Hua Yan's smile was still so bright, but Su Xiaoran only smiled faintly, if it wasn't for Qiao Xiaoyan's suggestion, she might not have realized that Hua Yan liked herself.
"After eating, what show are you going to do? First of all, you are not allowed to work, you must have a good time with us today! Hua Yan looked at Chen Xi who was about to sit back in front of the computer desk and said.
Everyone looked at Chenxi, who hesitated for a moment, and finally closed the screen of the laptop. "Since Xiao Yan is back today, let's go to Teacher Fang's place to have a look, shall we?"
