Because she ran so fast, Xin Yi's footsteps even stumbled, but Xi Zhiyu quickly grabbed her arm.

Xin Yi didn't break away from his hand in a hurry, but turned his head to look behind him.

She was relieved to make sure the man was gone.

The next moment, she pulled her hand out as well, "Thank you."

Xi Zhiyu frowned, "It doesn't seem safe on your side."

"Actually, it's fine, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

Xin Yi replied, arranging his hair, "You're here to find me?"

"Well, I'll send you back."

In other words, Xin Yi would definitely refuse Xi Zhiyu.

But the scene just now made her still have some palpitations, and after hesitating for a moment, she only said, "Just send me a few steps."

Xi Zhiyu only hummed and didn't say anything more.

The two walked side by side.

Xin Yi originally thought that he would say something to him, but Xi Zhiyu remained silent all the way.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of the building where Xin Yi lived.

Xin Yi took the lead in slowing down, Xi Zhiyu also stopped, and after looking at the security door of the building, he suddenly remembered something, "I almost forgot, this is for you."

Xin Yi glanced at the bag in his hand, and he didn't know why.

"Just a small gift." Xi Zhiyu said.

"What's the matter with you?"

Xin Yi still asked this sentence out of his mouth in the end.

"Sort of." Xi Zhiyu smiled, "Do you have time the day after tomorrow? My cousin is married and wants to invite you to come with me."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and did not answer.

Xi Zhiyu looked at her reaction, and only sighed, "It's not a secret, it's my mother who asked me to bring a female companion to attend."

"I didn't want to trouble you, after all, you don't know me very well, so it's too abrupt to speak, I've been entangled and hesitated several times before I came, but in the end, I still came."

Xin Yi just stood there and listened to him finish speaking, and then suddenly said, "Before you came here, you just finished eating with a certain lady, right?"

Xi Zhiyu was stunned.

"You smell of a lady's perfume." Xin Yi smiled slightly.

Xi Zhiyu spread his hands helplessly, and his voice was a little more cramped, "It was a blind date arranged for me by my mother."

"And then, the other party rejected your invitation? You probably didn't want this thing to give her, but you didn't give it away, right?"

"Of course not." Xi Zhiyu immediately said, "Do you think I look like someone who will give someone a gift when we meet for the first time?"

"And I didn't invite her."

Xin Yi stopped talking.

Xi Zhiyu just stood there waiting for her answer.

His invitation was simple and sincere, yet with an obvious purpose.

They are all adults, and he has already made his mother's meaning so clear, Xin Yi will not fail to understand the meaning of this "female companion".

So, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, thank you for helping me tonight, but I can't promise you."

Xi Zhiyu didn't seem surprised, and only replied, "Okay."

"Next time, I'll treat you to dinner." Xin Yi said, "As for the gift, I received it, but it probably doesn't suit me."

"You better take it, if you don't accept it, I don't have anyone around me to give it to."

Xin Yi glanced at the logo on the bag, but still didn't move, "Maybe I can give it to your mother?"

Xi Zhiyu looked at her for a while, then retracted his hand with a smile, "Okay, I hope she will like it."

"She'll love what you sent."

"Thank you."

"Then I'll go up first, thank you really tonight."

"You're welcome."

After the politeness, Xin Yi also prepared to go upstairs.

But the next moment, Xi Zhiyu suddenly stopped her again, "Jiang Xiao

Sister."

Xin Yi stopped and turned his head to look at him.

"You just said you would invite me to dinner, right?"

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"How about tomorrow night?"

Xi Zhiyu said.

When the words fell, his eyes suddenly became resolute, "What time do you get off work?" I'll pick you up."

Xin Yi is actually not ready to invite Xi Zhiyu to dinner - her salary has not been paid this month.

Although after two months, she has learned the basic essentials of independent survival, plus the bonus she received before, and the bank card is also a few thousand yuan, she still has an investigation fee to give.

And she couldn't invite Xi Zhiyu to eat barbecue on the side of the road.

But Xi Zhiyu has already spoken, and Xin Yi doesn't like to owe others, so he can only respond to it.

The weather was fine the next day.

After a snowfall, the weather in Fujiki was originally gloomy for the past few days, but today the sun is shining.

When Xin Yi got off work, the sunset was still hanging in the sky.

She had just turned on her camera to take a few shots when a horn sounded behind her.

She quickly turned her head.

Xi Zhiyu was sitting in the car looking at her and laughing.

Xin Yi paused for a moment and put his phone away.

"You can keep shooting." Xi Zhiyu got out of the car to help her open the door and said.

"No, I'll just pat it casually."

Xin Yi got into the car and looked at the photo just now.

Xi Zhiyu walked around the car and returned to the driver's seat, and replied, "I've seen the works of your circle of friends, and it doesn't look like it was taken casually at all."

Xin Yi only smiled.

"Where are we going to eat?" He asked again.

"You choose a place."

"I don't have much research on food." Xi Zhiyu started the car and looked around the street again, "The weather is good, why don't you go and eat barbecue?"

"Yes."

Xi Zhiyu handed her the phone, "I've already recommended the category, you choose the restaurant."

"I don't know of any good barbecue restaurants."

Xin Yi was helpless.

After the two looked at each other for a while, she took the lead in looking away, lowered her head and searched around with her mobile phone, and then pointed to one of them, "Eat this, right?"

- 500 per capita, the environment should not be bad?

Xi Zhiyu only nodded, "Okay, you open the navigation."

Xin Yi placed his phone on the center console, and the navigation and playback instructions on it were followed.

The restaurant was a bit far away, and the rush hour was particularly severe on Friday night, so by the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was almost full.

"Two of you? There are no more vacancies now."

The little girl at the door said with a smile, while giving them the number plate, "There are free drinks and snacks to eat here, there is only one table in front, soon."

Xin Yi glanced at the number plate, then turned his head to look at Xi Zhiyu, "We should have booked a seat in advance."

"It's okay, just wait." Xi Zhiyu pulled out a chair and sat her down, "What do you want to drink?"

Xin Yi was about to answer, but a voice came from behind, "Little Jiang?"

Her voice froze.

Then, she slowly turned her head.

They were standing a few meters away from them, and a dozen people were standing together.

But she still saw Tan Near who was standing behind He Chuan at a glance.
