5. Lift his mask

A good party made Li Guoyu, who was killed out of thin air, smashed. The remaining four people had no appetite for a delicious meal at the table. Leaving Du Xiaolei and Bian Xiaoxuan to pack, Yan Xiaose called Bai Xiaoding out of the private room and had a serious conversation in a corner of the banquet hall.

"Bai Xiaoding, let me tell you," Yan Xiaose's tone was heavy, "That Li Guoyu is definitely not a good person, Zhan Xiaopai will not be happy if he marries him, we can't stand idly by!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Bai Xiaoding frowned, "How did you know that Li Guoyu?" What does he do? Why is he not a good person? ”

"It's ......a long story," Yan Xiaose pinched her forehead with her hand and said to herself: "Didn't you all go to college after the college entrance examination?" My dad forced me to study in the United States, I didn't want to go, so I found an excuse to stay in Beijing for a while, I lived quite close to Peking University, and I played with Xiaopai a few times when I was fine, and then Xiaopai was busy studying and didn't have time to pay attention to me, so I often went to the bar alone, and guess what? ”

Speaking of this, Yan Xiaose put down his hand and looked up at Bai Xiaoding, "I can often see that Li Guoyu, he changes the girl next to him as if he is changing clothes, and then I inquired with a bartender who knows his details, saying that this Li Guoyu is called Yu Gongzi, what kind of official is the second generation, and there must be eighty if there are not a hundred girls who soak in a year!" ”

"Can you believe the bartender?" Bai Xiaoding's brows furrowed.

"Why can't you believe it? Okay, even if the bartender's words are watery, do you believe my words? Not only did I often see him clubbing with different girls, but once I sat next to him and heard him say that he was going to take the girl home for the night, and he was clearly a big pervert! ”

Bai Xiaoding was silent in thought.

"What do you say?" Yan Xiaose was a little anxious.

"If Li Guoyu is really such a person, then we must lift his mask at the little faction!" Bai Xiaoding said.

"What else? He was meant to be! Why don't you believe me? ”

Yan Xiaose looked at Bai Xiaoding, the two looked at each other for a moment, Bai Xiaoding nodded and said, "I believe!" ”

"Isn't that what it takes? The question now is how we lift Li Guoyu's mask, this toss just now, it is estimated that the little faction will not be able to see me again......" Yan Xiaose said and sighed.

"Then I'll talk to her." Bai Xiaoding said after being silent for a long time.

Bai Xiaoding called to ask Zhan Xiaopai to meet, and Xiaopai agreed very happily. The two of them made an appointment at a coffee shop next to Xinhua Bookstore, and Xiao Ding arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time, so he chose a position by the window to sit and wait, looking at the vehicles and pedestrians shuttling back and forth on the street, looking worried.

Zhan Xiaopai arrived on time, and Bai Xiaoding saw her enter the door, stood up and waved to her.

"You're here early, have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhan Xiaopai walked up to Bai Xiaoding.

"No, sit." After Bai Xiaoding finished speaking, the two sat down facing each other.

"What do you drink?" Bai Xiaoding asked.

"Coffee bar." Pie said.

Bai Xiaoding beckoned the waiter to ask for two cups of coffee, and the two were relatively speechless for a while.

"Bai Xiaoding," Zhan Xiaopai opened his mouth first, "After I left that day, did everyone criticize me?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is no ......" Bai Xiaoding said insincerely.

"Alas, you don't have to comfort me......" Zhan Xiaopai smiled bitterly, "I really can't find a crack in the ground that day!" It's a shame...... You guys must think I'm ...... It's very unproductive, and you're starting to despise me, aren't you? ”

"No......" Bai Xiaoding paused and said seriously: "But everyone is worried about you, it's true." ”

"You're worried he's bullying me, right? Actually, he wasn't usually like that, and that day ......" Zhan Xiaopai looked annoyed, "Alas, I really don't know what to say." ”

"Xiaopai, I asked you today, what I want to say is not yesterday......"

"Huh?" Zhan Xiaopai was very surprised when she heard this, she thought that Bai Xiaoding had made an appointment with her today to crusade against her on behalf of the classmates of the small group, "Bai Xiaoding, you have confused me......"

"Xiaopai, what do you ...... your fiancΓ©," Bai Xiaoding pondered the words, "Do you understand?" I mean...... Do you think he's reliable? Is it worth marrying? ”

"Bai Xiaoding," Zhan Xiaopai frowned, "It seems that this question shouldn't be asked by you, right?" ”

"I know you must think I'm nosy, but Pie, please trust me, I really care about you!" Bai Xiaoding looked at Zhan Xiaopai eagerly.

"Really? Of course I understand my fiancΓ©, will I marry him if I am not reliable? ”

Zhan Xiaopai replied very coldly, even if Li Guoyu was not in a thousand ways, she didn't want others to comment on it, not to mention that Bai Xiaoding's words seemed to be questioning her judgment, which made her feel disgusted in her heart.

"Oh......" Bai Xiaoding immediately sensed the dissatisfaction of the little pie, and was a little unsure of how to continue the topic.

"Hey Bai Xiaoding, what do you mean by this? If you have anything to say, do you have the strength to be so spitting? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xiaopai, Yan Xiaose knows Li Guoyu, do you know? Bai Xiaoding changed his angle, and this time it really worked, and Zhan Xiaopai looked surprised when he heard it.

"They know? I really don't know about this......" Zhan Xiaopai hesitated, "No wonder the two of them were hostile to each other as soon as they met, did they have any enmity before?" But that's not right, if Li Guoyu knew Yan Xiaose, why didn't he mention it to me? ”

"He didn't mention it because he was weak-hearted......" Bai Xiaoding said.

"He's weak-hearted? Why is he weak-hearted? Zhan Xiaopai was impatient, "Bai Xiaoding, can you speak more quickly?" ”

"Xiaopai, Yan Xiaose told me something about Li Guoyu yesterday, and I think it's necessary to let you know." Bai Xiaoding thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

"You say!"

"Xiao Se said that when he was in Beijing, he often saw Li Guoyu in the bar with different girls to play, and also took them home for the night, a ......"

"What is it?"

"It's a pervert......"

"Hehe......" Zhan Xiaopai smiled, "So what?" ”

"So I want to remind you that Li Guoyu has a problem with his morality, don't be fooled by his appearance, especially if you get married for such a big thing, you must be cautious ......"

"Bai Xiaoding, you're enough!" Before Bai Xiaoding could finish speaking, Zhan Xiaopai had already interrupted him angrily, "Do you know who you are talking about? That's my fiancΓ©! You don't know him, how can you listen to Yan Xiaose's words and slander people like this! ”

"Xiaopai, don't be angry......" Seeing Zhan Xiaopai getting angry, Bai Xiaoding was a little flustered, "Although I heard Yan Xiaose say this, I believe he wouldn't lie about such a major matter......"

"Not necessarily!" Zhan Xiaopai snorted coldly, "Do you know what Yan Xiaose did when she went to Beijing that year?" ”

Bai Xiaoding looked at Zhan Xiaopai and waited for her to continue.

"Originally, I didn't plan to tell anyone about this matter, but it doesn't hurt for me to tell you when it comes to this today, Yan Xiaose went to Beijing to pursue me, but I refused, I think now, did he say this about Li Guoyu, did he deliberately come to disgust me?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Bai Xiaoding lowered his gaze: "Xiaopai, although Yan Xiaose sometimes speaks very unreliable, and loves to make trouble and pranks, but after so many years, I know that he will not be so psychologically dark......"

"Bai Xiaoding, where are your concepts of right and wrong?" Zhan Xiaopai looked helpless, "People will change, even if you knew him before, after such a long time, do you dare to say that you know him?" ”

"I ......"

"Forget Bai Xiaoding, let's not talk about these unhappy things, don't mention Li Guoyu's matter again, I will grasp my affairs myself." Zhan Xiaopai simply made a closing statement.

"Pie ......"

Bai Xiaoding was unwilling and wanted to say more, but her eyes told him that he should stop. The girl in front of him was the deepest love and the most painful wound in his heart, even if she had regarded him as a stranger, even if he knew that she would never be with him, he still couldn't stop caring about her, she was his curse, his fate. Yishu said: If you really love someone, your heart is often sour, but you are often unable to speak, and most of those sweet words are said to irrelevant people. This sentence is simply the truest portrayal of Bai Xiaoding at the moment, he is speechless, lonely and melancholy.

Maybe it was the powerful mental power in Bai Xiaoding's heart that affected Zhan Xiaopai like a magnetic field, she looked at him, her heart suddenly became soft, she couldn't understand why every time she was with this boy, an inexplicable sour feeling would rise in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to feel sorry for him and be good to him......

"Bai Xiaoding, are you okay during this time?" Zhan Xiaopai's voice softened, "How's the work going?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm looking for a job, and I've sent out a lot of resumes, and I'm waiting for the letter. ”

"So what kind of job are you looking for? Got a clue? ”

"I'm studying journalism, it's best if I can find a job with a professional counterpart, and now the evening newspaper is recruiting reporters, and I handed in my resume, but I also know that the possibility of being hired by the evening newspaper is very small, and I feel that now it's not people looking for jobs, but jobs looking for people, look at the chance." Bai Xiaoding said with a wry smile.

"Well, yes, I hope you can find a job that you want!" Zhan Xiaopai sincerely wishes.

"Thank you." Bai Xiaoding said.

Zhan Xiaopai took out a piece of jade from her bag, it was the jade pendant that Bai Xiaoding gave her back then, and she put the jade pendant in front of Bai Xiaoding, which was the main purpose for her to see him today.

"Bai Xiaoding, this jade pendant, please take it back."

"Pie, it's just a gift, why do you want to pay me back?" Bai Xiaoding's eyes were flustered.

"I know the meaning of this piece of jade, but I'm in love with someone else, so I can only return it to you." Zhan Xiaopai didn't look at Bai Xiaoding either, and said softly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay," Bai Xiaoding was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Whatever you want." ”

"Bai Xiaoding, I'll leave first if it's okay." Zhan Xiaopai stood up, and Bai Xiaoding also stood up.

"Pie, I have a few more words......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, you name it. Facing Bai Xiaoding's pleading gaze, Zhan Xiaopai couldn't bear to refuse.

"Xiaopai, I don't think you should doubt Yan Xiaose, nor should you doubt me, yes, we both like you, seeing that you are good with Li Guoyu, we are jealous and we are jealous, but even so, you should still believe in our character, we sincerely hope that you can marry a good person and be happy for a lifetime!" Bai Xiaoding still couldn't be silent after all, he knew that if he didn't say these few words, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life!

"Finished?" Zhan Xiaopai asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. Bai Xiaoding nodded helplessly, he knew that the possibility that she could listen to these words was very small.

"Then I'm gone, goodbye."

Bai Xiaoding stood there, watching Zhan Xiaopai walk past the rows of tables and chairs, walk to the door, push the door out, and disappear. He just looked in the direction of the little pie's departure and stood for a long time.
