16. I don't mind being a spare tire

Busy times always pass exceptionally fast. It was almost noon, Zhou Ting called in to remind him that the time for an appointment with Xia Xiaowan was approaching. Gu Nianbin put down the pen, took the coat on the hanger, and walked out while wearing it.

He is a punctual person, the time is always just right, not early, not late, and arrives on time, and Xia Xiaowan is already waiting there like last time. When I saw him, I waved lightly.

"Have you waited a long time?" Gu Nianbin asked her.

"No, it's just been two minutes." Xia Xiaowan replied with a smile.

The waiter handed over the menu, and the two ordered quietly, Gu Nianbin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xia Xiaowan ordering pork chops, there are very few girls who don't order beef steak and pork chops.

Xia Xiaowan saw his doubts and explained: "I have loved pork since I was a child, especially pork belly, and I think it is very fragrant. ”

"Don't you feel fatty?"

"No," Xia Xiaowan stretched out her hand to show him: "I have no meat since I was a child, but God prefers it, and I am not fat at all." ”

She moves freely and speaks naturally, as if to an old friend for many years.

Gu Nianbin smiled slightly, "A girl I know is just the opposite of you, she doesn't like pork and beef, and she can't get fat." ”

Xia Xiaowan is a smart person, she doesn't pick up stubble, she just looks at him with her cheeks up, looking like she is waiting to hear the story.

Gu Nianbin never likes to go around in circles, he originally came with the intention of getting straight to the point. Seeing Xia Xiaowan holding her cheeks and looking at herself, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "You are very smart and know what I have to say!" ”

Xia Xiaowan changed her hand and tilted her head, avoiding his insightful gaze, "Yes, I know what you have to say." She lowered her eyes and said in a flat voice: "In fact, I have heard of you for a long time, and I have also heard the story of you and Miss Xia, I am very moved by Mr. Gu's persistence, it is a very happy thing to have a man who is so infatuated with himself, so as soon as I heard that the blind date was you, I agreed without hesitation." And I have the same name as Miss Xia, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. ”

She picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and the corners of her mouth raised a smile: "It's a pity, Mr. Gu means that he doesn't plan to give me a chance, right?" ”

"I just don't want to delay you," Gu Nianbin said: "Your conditions are very good, I really can't find a reason to object, so I asked you to meet a second time, if you refuse, I think it should be better." ”

Xia Xiaowan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, half serious and half joking, and said, "What if I don't refuse?" ”

"Are you kidding?"

"No, Mr. Gu," Xia Xiaowan straightened her face: "I'm serious, in fact, I know that you have a five-year contract with that Miss Xia, and now there is not much time left, to be honest, I don't mind being a spare tire!" ”

"It's not fair to you." Gu Nianbin said seriously. "And it will delay you."

"It doesn't matter," Xia Xiaowan said, "I'm twenty-six years old this year, even if I delay for a year, I can still get married." You don't have to worry about me. She paused, and then said: "Now, I want to ask you, give me a chance, let's be friends first, deepen each other's understanding, maybe, you will find that I am not bad, if that Miss Xia really does not come back, then at least, there is still me, Miss Xia, what do you say?" Mr. Gu! ”

Gu Nianbin laughed, he really didn't expect Xia Xiaowan to say such a thing, but he was a little speechless for a while, and the girl's eyes were full of sincerity, so he couldn't refuse: "Okay, if it's just to be friends, I think it should be fine." ”
