Chapter Ninety-Nine: Guo Ying's Invitation

Li Yiming opened his eyes, moving his sore limbs, three hours, the small secret realm downstairs is still not over, this is slightly longer than usual, unfortunately, three hours of perception, failed to get any valuable information, still clueless.

Raising his eyes to look out the window where the night had fallen, Li Yiming hesitated in his heart, should he take advantage of dinner to come to the door again to investigate? Fu Bo really regards himself as a friend, in fact, Li Yiming is very reluctant to calculate the other party so much, but the stakes are high, and Li Yiming seems to have no choice.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang, Li Yiming looked at the study in surprise, the secret realm did not disappear, so who knocked on the door?

Moving softly to the door, Li Yiming cautiously observed through the cat's eye.

"Is that her?" Li Yiming was puzzled again, it was Guo Ying, Ji Xiaoqin's cousin standing outside the door? What is she here for?

"Ding-dong! Ding dong! After hesitation, the doorbell rang again in quick succession, much faster than the last.

That's it, it's always to be faced. Li Yiming adjusted his mind and opened the door pretending to be unknown.

"Hello, remember me, right?" Shadow Phantom's tone was slightly cold, and she had an unnatural smile on her face, perhaps because she usually smiled very little, and her smile looked a little stiff.

"Of course, we only met in the morning." Li Yiming responded politely, and when he saw the smile that the iceberg beauty forcibly pretended, the doubts in his heart increased.

"I got some food with Xiaoqin, do you want to be together? Don't tell me you've eaten it. Shadow spoke bluntly.

"I ...... "Please eat by yourself?" With Ji Xiaoqin? Li Yiming guessed the other party's intentions, and considered the wording in his heart, he really didn't want to face Ji Xiaoqin again, especially with a cousin with an ambiguous identity in the middle.

"It's okay to eat, let's sit together, you and Xiaoqin are college classmates, and now they are neighbors, don't you pay so much attention?" Shadow Charm didn't wait for Li Yiming to think, and stretched out his hand to pull it strongly, and the indisputability in his tone was undoubtedly in line with his previous temperament.

"Okay." Li Yiming sighed inwardly, turned his head to look at the empty room, and followed Guo Ying to the opposite door.

"Are the dishes and chopsticks set? Ichiaki is coming. Walking into Ji Xiaoqin's house, Guo Ying took Li Yiming to the kitchen like a hostess, and pressed Li Yiming to his seat warmly and cordially.

Ji Xiaoqin is actually 10,000 unwilling to eat this meal, she is now confused in her heart, and she doesn't dare to face Li Yiming, but this Guo Ying suddenly came to the door with the ingredients, saying that she wanted to have dinner with herself...... What did she see?

"Okay, it's almost fine, hurry up and come here, the food will be cold in a while." Guo Ying sat down next to Li Yiming, picked up the beer on the table, and filled the cup in front of Li Yiming.

"I don't drink, no." Li Yiming hurriedly postponed.

"Come on, you and Xiaoqin are college classmates, right? Learning to dance? If you are engaged in art, you don't drink? Guo Ying ignored Li Yiming's shirk and poured a full cup directly.

Li Yiming couldn't stand such warm hospitality, and reluctantly took the cup. The dishes on the table are sumptuous, six dishes and one soup, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, Li Yiming subconsciously glanced at the stove, there were no oil stains on the pots and pans on the stove, and then looked at the stack of food boxes stacked randomly in the corner, okay, Ji Xiaoqin can't cook, this ice beauty has a beautiful manicure, and it is impossible to take charge of it, it seems that except for the fruit bowl, everything else is takeaway. That's fine, at least you don't have to worry about the embarrassment caused by the food being difficult to swallow.

"Come, this first cup celebrates the reunion of your old classmates, Hangzhou is not small, this can be met by you, this is fate." Li Yiming hadn't picked up the chopsticks yet, but Guo Ying raised the cup in front of him, and at the same time signaled Ji Xiaoqin with his eyes, Ji Xiaoqin resignedly raised the cup, his eyes wandering away.

Li Yiming passively picked up the wine glass, and subconsciously glanced at the neatly stacked box of beer in the corner, if this way of drinking, something might happen today.

The three cups touched each other in the air, Ji Xiaoqin raised her neck and drank it all, but Guo Ying tasted it shallowly as if she was tasting tea, and her brows furrowed slightly. Li Yiming looked at the completely different drinking methods of the two, hesitated for a moment while holding the cup, and then learned from Guo Ying and took a small sip shallowly.

Ji Xiaoqin was stunned with the empty cup, and then put down the cup silently. Guo Ying didn't have any opinion on how to drink, so she picked up chopsticks and beckoned the two of them to eat.

"Your house costs more than five million, right? I glanced at it just now, and it felt much bigger than here. Li Yiming was eating vegetables, and Guo Ying said coldly.

"Well, five million and two hundred and twenty thousand." Li Yiming blurted out subconsciously.

"Did you buy that house?" It was Ji Xiaoqin who opened her mouth to ask, her face full of surprise.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Li Yiming secretly exclaimed in his heart, Ji Xiaoqin knew him well, which was not easy to explain.

"Where did you get the money?" Ji Xiaoqin habitually continued to ask, but as soon as the words fell, she regretted it, cautiously peeked at Guo Ying, and lowered her head in a panic.

"That...... The old house in the countryside was demolished, and some of the resettlement money was divided, and the parents made up some more. Li Yiming replied squeakily, which was the best explanation he could think of in a short time.

"You all have just graduated, right? Got a job? Guo Ying seemed to be careless about the question just now, and changed the topic casually.

"Not yet, I'm ready to get used to it now." Li Yiming lifted his spirit and tried to avoid showing his feet again.

"Director Zhang of Hangge has some friendship with me, he is rehearsing a dance drama recently, and there is a lack of a male lead dancer, how is it? Interested? ”

"Hang Ge? Hangzhou Opera and Dance Theater? Director Zhang? Zhang Kaiming? Li Yiming was almost choked by the other party's words, and the Hangzhou Opera and Dance Theater ...... That was his dream, Zhang Kaiming...... Big bowl, Li Yiming listened to his class when he was a freshman.

"Don't look at me like this, I searched the Internet for the video of your graduation report in the afternoon, you are dancing very well, Director Zhang just called me, I casually recommended you, he seemed to be quite satisfied after watching the video." Guo Ying picked up the wine glass casually, as if she wanted to take a sip, but her eyes fell on the yellow gurgling sparkling beer, and she hesitated slightly, and put the wine glass down again.

The news came too suddenly, and Li Yiming was stunned for a while.

Ji Xiaoqin on the opposite side was also shocked by the news, graduated from the dance theater, who doesn't want to enter Hangge? Or do you want to start with the lead dancer? But she was quickly alert, because she noticed Guo Ying's eyes looking at Li Yiming......

According to Ji Xiaoqin's previous inference, Guo Ying should have noticed something, and this meal should have deliberately called Li Yiming to come over to test it. As Guo Xiang's cousin, she should be hostile to Li Yiming. Can ...... now Not to mention being overly enthusiastic, look at Li Yiming's eyes...... Passionate, curious, focused, expectant......

A woman's sixth sense is very accurate, especially for the man she loves deeply, Ji Xiaoqin is almost certain that Guo Xiang's cousin has impure motives for Li Yiming.

A sourness spread in Ji Xiaoqin's heart, and it was the sadness that the beloved toy was about to be snatched away. She also looked at Li Yiming with anticipation, rationally speaking, she should hope that Li Yiming agreed, because only the better Li Yiming's life, can the guilt in her heart dissipate, but seeing Guo Ying, who is stronger than herself, Ji Xiaoqin emotionally hopes that Li Yiming refuses.

Two pairs of beautiful and moving eyes stared at him at the same time, Li Yiming scratched his head in embarrassment, but his heart quickly calmed down from the impact of Hang Ge, and quickly thought about Guo Ying's intentions.

"I don't plan to look for a job yet." Li Yiming raised his eyes and met Ji Xiaoqin's gaze, and Ai Ai said a far-fetched reason, Li Yiming thought of it, it should be Ji Xiaoqin who couldn't bear it, and entrusted Guo Xiang's cousin to find a way out for herself, so as to alleviate her guilt for betraying herself.

"Oh, then look for me if you need to remember." Guo Ying didn't think so, shrugged indifferently, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in her mouth, but the moment she lowered her head to eat the food, a hint of an imperceptible sneer appeared in the corner of her eyes.

Ji Xiaoqin's heart is complicated, Li Yiming's last glance at her seemed to touch the last hesitation in her heart, Li Yiming understood his eyes, read his heart, such a promising opportunity, he didn't hesitate to give up, he really came to protect himself and accompany himself, but ...... But he delayed his future again......

The meal was extremely complicated, and the three of them had different minds and were absent-minded.

Guo Ying seemed to chat casually, but she always asked about Li Yiming's situation, and as the conversation increased, Guo Ying became more and more sure of her guesses. The conversation that followed was a little cautious.

Ji Xiaoqin's attitude towards Guo Ying is also more and more affirmative, this returnee eldest lady is sure that she has taken a fancy to Li Yiming, whether she is courteous or attentive, she also swings on the side, and the interest and concern in her eyes can't hide her intuition. That's how Liu Meng looked at Li Yiming at the beginning.

Li Yiming's mind gradually cleared up, he noticed a lot of strangeness, Ji Xiaoqin's attitude was wrong, and he inadvertently looked at his eyes, this look was very familiar to him, whenever Ji Xiaoqin showed love, it would be such a look. But it stands to reason that the current Ji Xiaoqin shouldn't show such emotions to herself, and still in front of Guo Xiang's cousin?

Guo Xiang's cousin is also very eccentric, the identity should not be wrong, and the loneliness and indifference inadvertently revealed are not something that can be cultivated for a year and a half, it is the temperament of the eldest lady who has been rendered since childhood. But is it necessary for such a young lady to deliberately make friends with herself? Inferred from her far-fetched smile and stiff expression, she is not used to drinking beer, nor is she used to eating this takeaway, and even she is not used to smiling and talking to people, but why? What is there in him that can make this eldest lady far-fetched and courteous?

(Author's note: I saw that some people in the book review area speculated that Qinghe was Fu Bo's pen name, and you said, if I tell you that Guo Xiang's screen name is Qinghe, will I be beaten?) ）
