Chapter 9: An Awkward Dinner

After the "hand-washing" incident, Qiao Xing's awareness of Jiang Yifan's perversion has reached a new height, adhering to the tenet of "not speculating more than half a sentence", and there are very few conversations with Jiang Yifan. And after several bad fights, Jiang Yifan lost interest in talking.

So what the two of them said during the whole semester of sixth year didn't add up to more than two hands in total.

So much so that in the later years abroad, Qiao Xing often recalled the time at his table, which was usually quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Those days that I thought were full of swords and swords turned out to be so beautiful in the deepest part of her heart.

He was right where she was within reach, without those annoying third parties, without those hateful suspicions. She would quietly watch his clean face on a sunny afternoon. would palpitate slightly when she touched him by chance, and Qiao Xing never thought that those seemingly casual things would become the medicine that supported her through those painful days many years later.

After the examination for the junior high school promotion, many students went to other schools to attend junior high school, while most of the students led by Mo Jinyu, Qiao Xing and Jiang Yifan stayed in the middle school affiliated to C University. Mo Jinyu proposed to invite everyone to have a casual meal together, and to go to Paris at night to eat Western food in a more elegant way.

Others don't know that Qiao Xingke knows very well, where to go to Paris at night for what "elegant", but because it is a restaurant under the name of Mo Jinyu's mother, he doesn't need to go home to smash the golden pig and take pocket money.

"I'll ask the driver to take me there in the afternoon, and you two can come with me, anyway, it's a drop by anyway."

Mo Jinyu smiled and hugged Qiao Xing is shoulders and said to Qiao Xing and Jiang Yifan, Qiao Xing clasped his hands in front of his chest, and didn't seem to mind Mo Jinyu's intimate actions. Jiang Yifan on the side couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Mo Jinyu's behavior.

"Okay, I'm worried that I won't do it if I need to walk on such a hot day." Qiao Xing muttered, she was the most afraid of heat.

"I'm not going, you guys just have fun." Jiang Yifan hid in the shade of a tree with a book in his hand, all he thought about was that the last problem on the math paper seemed to be solved incorrectly, and he had never liked to join in the fun, so he refused Mo Jinyu's invitation.

Who knew that Qiao Xing immediately shook off Mo Jinyu when he heard this, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yifan's arm and said solemnly: "Don't, Mo Jinyu's kid can pick the door, I finally seized the opportunity to bite him once, why are you polite."

Qiao Xing has been a boy since he was a child, and most of the friends around him are boys, so he doesn't care much about skin-to-skin contact between men and women, and he is still young and has no concept of "difference between men and women". So pulling Jiang Yifan's arm didn't feel anything wrong with her.

But Jiang Yifan is different, he is two years older than Qiao Xing, his mind is naturally much more mature than Qiao Xing, and he has already formed a concept of men and women.

When Qiao Xing grabbed his arm defenselessly, he suddenly felt that something strange was running around in his heart, so much so that he didn't care about what Qiao Xing was saying at all, just nodded mechanically.

Qiao Xing stood up when he saw that he agreed: "Don't go back on your promise!"

The place where she had covered her hands just now left a shallow sweat, and as soon as the wind blew cool, Jiang Yifan's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she asked inexplicably: "What did I promise you?"

"That's it, Jiang Yifan, a gentleman is hard to chase after a word! When the time comes, I'll wait for you at home, let's take Mo Jinyu's car together" As he spoke, he pulled Mo Jinyu and ran away quickly, not giving Jiang Yifan a chance to regret it.

In fact, Qiao Xing was just afraid that Li Shaoling would disagree with her going, so she put down her posture and wooed Jiang Yifan. Recently, Li Shaoling didn't know what she was stimulated, and she began to intentionally or unintentionally prevent her from interacting with Mo Jinyu.

Last time, she said that she was going to play ball with Mo Jinyu after dinner, but Li Shaoling disagreed. also told her a big truth, saying that girls should understand something when they are older, don't go crazy with Mo Jinyu and those boys all day long, and lose their dignity.

Qiao Xing retorted: "Then Jiang Yifan is not also a boy, why didn't he listen to what you said about being indecent with him." Besides, didn't you and Mo Jinyu's mother ever agree that Mo Jinyu and I had a baby kiss? ”

Li Shaoling looked like she hated iron but not steel: "Why are you so ignorant, can Jiang Yifan compare with those bastards outside?" He is your cousin, and he is much more sensible than you, so you should have more contact with him and learn more about the character that you don't have.

As for the baby kiss you mentioned, it was just a joke between me and your Aunt Xue back then, and it shouldn't be true. ”

Therefore, Qiao Xing knew that if Mo Jinyu invited her to dinner without Jiang Yifan's "escort", her mother would definitely not agree.

Jiang Yifan slowly closed the book, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the arm that she had just pulled. There was a slight redden, thinking that she had been pushing too hard just now.

The two had a lot of bad friends before, and it stands to reason that he should hate her very much, but he didn't feel disgusted at all by such an intimate act just now, but felt like it very much.

Jiang Yifan really didn't disappoint Qiao Xing, and came very early.

Qiao Xing was right, as soon as Li Shaoling heard that she was going to go crazy again, she immediately vetoed it. She had to move out of Jiang Yifan's life-saving straw, and when she heard that Jiang Yifan wanted to go together, Li Shaoling was willing to let her go.

So when he saw Jiang Yifan appear at her house, he couldn't tell how excited he was, and she opened her mouth and shouted: "Cousin, are you here......"

It turns out that no matter how long it has been, her cousin and cousin have refused to call Qiao Xing like this, and as soon as those two words came out, Qiao Xing couldn't help but get goosebumps, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Not only her, but even Jiang Yifan, who has always been calm and moody, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Finally, after the two of them left the house, they also said in a matter-of-fact manner: "You don't call me dead if you don't call me so weird!"

Qiao Xingzheng was happy, so naturally he didn't bother with him, and stuck out his tongue at him with a grin, saying, "Got it, cousin!"

Jiang Yifan was speechless, how could he forget that she would never let him have a moment of peace. He began to regret that he should not have agreed to her unreasonable request in the first place.

Mo Jinyu didn't invite many classmates to the casual dinner, except for Qiao Xing and Jiang Yifan, Gu Changjie had a few good friends, and An Yibai and Liu Xiaoxiao.

An Yibai and Gu Changjie are buddies with Mo Jinyu, and it makes sense for him to follow Mo Jinyu together, but this Liu Xiaoxiao has nothing to do with them, why did she come, Qiao Xing didn't understand very well.

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoxiao Qiao Xing and her still had some small unpleasantness. When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, Qiao Xing was the study committee member of the class, and Liu Xiaoxiao was the class president.

At that time, the teacher arranged for the two of them to lead the morning reading every morning, and for a while Liu Xiaoxiao took the language book and started on the podium, so that everyone could read along, but who knew that there was nothing to read, which made Liu Xiaoxiao, who had always been thin-faced, embarrassed and unable to get off the stage.

Qiao Xing originally wanted to help her out of good intentions, so he picked up the book and asked everyone to read it together. You must know that Qiao Xing was very popular at that time, and everyone loved to play with her, so everyone naturally wanted to give her face at the beginning.

Who knew that in Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Qiao Xing deliberately acted majesticly in front of her and deliberately made her ugly. also deliberately ran to the teacher, saying that Qiao Xing and the whole class were arresting her, and Qiao Xing was wrongfully led to study for a whole semester.

She didn't dare to be late this semester, so she had to arrive before the morning reading time. So far, the two have formed a bond. Qiao Xing has hardly given Liu Xiaoxiao a good look since then.

After a few words of laughter, they found a place to sit down. It was the time of the meal, and there were quite a few people dining in the restaurant, most of whom were adults. Only their table is a group of little kids, which has attracted the attention of many people.

After all, a place like Paris is not consumed by the children of ordinary families.

The five of them sat down and began to order, Qiao Xing ordered a filet and salad, and asked Jiang Yifan what he liked with interest. Jiang Yifan glanced at the menu and said, "Whatever, I'm not a picky eater." It's not so much that he's not a picky eater, but in fact, he's not very good at ordering, and he's afraid that he will make some jokes if he's not careful.

Qiao Xing handed the menu to the waiter and smiled, "I ordered a double portion of the trouble just now."

The dish was quickly served, and Jiang Yifan was a little embarrassed when he looked at the food in front of him.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Sihai have always paid attention to Chinese culture, and their home is mainly based on Chinese food. In the year that Jiang Yifan came to Qiao's house, he had never eaten outside, so Jiang Yifan seemed to be very distressed about things like Western food.

Although he had seen it on TV before, he couldn't use a knife and fork at all since he was a child, so he asked the waiter for chopsticks as a matter of course.

But as soon as the words fell, An Yibai, who was on the other side, suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, there are still people who eat steak with chopsticks these days, Jiang Yifan, you are really the best in the world!"

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, eating with a knife and fork or chopsticks was a personal preference, and no one stipulated that you had to use a knife and fork to eat steak. But An Yibai's voice was too loud, and the guests at the adjacent table looked at Jiang Yifan one after another.

Jiang Yifan only felt as if he had been stripped naked in public, and he was ashamed. A pale blush looked like it was dripping blood.

At first, Qiao Xing just wanted to wait to see the joke without saying a word, but when she saw the ridicule in the eyes of the people around her, and Jiang Yifan's face flushed with embarrassment, she finally couldn't sit still.

"Our Qiao family eats steaks with chopsticks, what's the matter, what's so funny. The waiter also took me a pair for trouble. ”

She didn't know if saying this would make Jiang Yifan feel less embarrassed, and that's all she could think of, at least she would be laughed at with him.
