Chapter 7: French Baking Brie [3]
Yan Xiao recognized that the man with glasses in front of her was one of the doctors in the clinic when she first met Huo Zexi.
The man with glasses stared at Yan Xiao a few times, and then turned to Huo Zexi: "You two are really done?" β
Yan Xiao almost choked on a mouthful of food, coughed a few times, Huo Zexi was quite calm, and scolded slightly: "What nonsense?"
"And who is this?" The man with glasses blinked and looked at Yan Xiao.
"Friends." Huo Zexi changed the topic: "Have you eaten?"
"I don't have a beautiful woman to accompany me, so I'm done eating early!" The man with glasses was still unwilling, sat next to Huo Zexi, and asked Yan Xiao: "Speaking of this girl, are you really an ordinary friend of Dr. Huo?" β
Yan Xiao's chopsticks poked into the rice, and he smiled a little reluctantly: "Hmm." She saw that this man must have a good relationship with Huo Zexi, and she was still somewhat nervous in the face of his friends.
"My name is Liu Yu, and I'm from the clinic next door to Dr. Huo, you can also come to play with me if you have nothing to do!" Liu Yu said with a bright smile at Yan Xiao, showing a row of white teeth.
Yan Xiao is not a particularly active person, but when others extend an olive branch first, she will be relatively kind: "Hello, my name is Yan Xiao." β
"Actually, the first time I saw you that day, I thought you were very eye-catching, as if I had seen you somewhere before..."Liu Yu said and frowned and closed his eyes, thinking hard, "I just can't remember!" β
Yan Xiao wondered if he had watched her dance video, and it was difficult to mention it for a while, so he only responded with a smile.
However, this sentence fell into the ears of the observers, and naturally turned into a sister's accosting, Huo Zexi did not say lightly: "Isn't it too clichΓ©? β
Liu Yu was about to call for wrongdoing, but suddenly remembered something, and laughed quietly: "Is it really an ordinary friend?" β
"My sister I met when I was a child." Huo Zexi explained lightly.
What they were talking about, Yan Xiao didn't hear a word clearly, only saw Liu Yu smile a little exaggeratedly: "Oh, sister! Yan Xiao, how old are you? β
"I'm twenty." Yan Xiao glanced at Huo Zexi after speaking.
"You're in college, aren't you?"
"Hmm." "Learn what?"
"Dance."
This person is the same as checking the water meter, Yan Xiao answered one by one, and couldn't help but peek at Huo Zexi, he didn't seem to like eating onions, and the onions on the dinner plate didn't move at all...
Seeing Yan Xiao's heart, Liu Yu stood up, "Then you continue to eat, I'll go first." β
Huo Zexi didn't raise his head, but Yan Xiao smiled politely at him and waved his hand: "Goodbye." β
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu suddenly lowered his head and asked her again: "Yan Xiao, right?" β
Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"We'll talk about it next time!" Liu Yu smiled as he spoke, and took a few steps back and walked away.
Yan Xiao retracted her gaze, and unexpectedly mislooked at Huo Zexi, her heart jumped suddenly, and she lowered her head and picked up vegetables in a panic.
One piece of rabbit, two pieces of rabbit, three pieces of rabbit...
Wait a minute!
In the set meal she ordered... Doesn't seem like there are rabbits?
Then what she is holding is...
Yan Xiao was stunned for two seconds, the chopsticks were still holding a piece, and then silently put it back on the opposite plate...
wtfοΌ
I actually went to pick up the dishes on his plate!
Yan Xiao, are you in the water in your brain? Although she had stabbed herself a hundred and eighty times in her heart, on the surface, she pretended to be very calm, and took a sip of soup under his gaze, and laughed dryly: "It's a little spicy hahaha..."
Yan Xiao held his forehead and closed his eyes: It's really embarrassing...
After a few seconds, Huo Zexi's voice suddenly came: "Give me the chopsticks." β
Yan Xiaoshang didn't react in the embarrassment of losing face, raised his head in surprise, and met his gaze: "Huh? β
He gestured to use her chopsticks.
Yan Xiao didn't know why, but obediently handed him his chopsticks.
Then she saw that Huo Zexi put all the dried rabbit dices into her dinner plate, and handed her the chopsticks when her brain was in chaos: "Okay." β
β¦
After an untasteful lunch, Yan Xiao walked out of the cafeteria with him and said tentatively: "Doctor Huo? β
He bowed his head slightly: "Huh? β
"Don't you even ask me why I'm here today?"
He didn't ask anything today, and he didn't wonder why she was treated as a thief, which made Yan Xiao feel strange.
Huo Zexi put his hand in the pocket of his white coat and said in a casual tone: "If you want to explain, you will say it yourself." β
He chooses a suitable distance, neither near nor far, but asks anything about her, and he doesn't reveal anything about himself.
It will be very easy to get along like this, but Yan Xiao frowned:
That gentleness is like a barrier, unconsciously rejecting people.
Yan Xiao was silent for a while and stopped: "Thank you today." β
He also stopped, the sun was too big, and he squinted slightly: "You're welcome." β
"And then? Haven't you seen him again in the past few days? β
Roommate Xiao Jia bit the potato chips and sat cross-legged on Yan Xiao's with a look of unfinished business.
Yan Xiao leaned against the wall and sighed: "You say, what other excuse can I have to see him?" β
The female man on Yan Xiao's upper bunk stretched out her head strongly: "You can confess, how boring it is to go on like this." β
Although as the saying goes, "women chase men, and the veil is interlayered", but for Yan Xiao, if she just has a good impression of the man, then if the confession fails, there will be nothing after regret, but Huo Zexi has absolutely extraordinary significance for her, she can't imagine how she would quit his voice on the radio if he refused, or what kind of mood she would have if she heard his voice every night.
She liked him for three years in a world he couldn't see, but he didn't know anything.
She couldn't afford to take that risk.
A few girls in the dormitory gossiped and chattered, even after the lights went out, it was not quiet, and they began to talk about their exes together.
Listening to them chatting about their past feelings, Yan Xiao's mood gradually calmed down, turned on the radio station on his mobile phone, put on a headphone, and the slightly magnetic voice slowly entered.
"The deepest love I understand is the little girl's feelings for Leon in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold": After separation, I live myself as you; You smoked cigarettes, walked the road you walked, watched the movies you loved, but just asked you, are you okay now?
Are you listening to me? Are you okay now? β
At this point, he could still hear his slight breathing, which lasted for a few seconds, but then stopped abruptly.
No hello, no goodnight, just a short two-minute voice.
Yan Xiao's mind was blank: he... Are you talking to anyone?
"Xiao Meizi, why didn't I listen to you, did you sleep?"
Several girls in the dormitory found that Yan Xiao's voice had suddenly disappeared for a long time, and there was no light on the mobile phone, she was usually a night owl, but now it was only half past eleven, and it was unlikely that she would fall asleep.
The voice came out of the quilt with a hazy feeling: "I'm sleepy." β
Xiao Jia still understands her best, and asks tentatively: "Feeling bad?" β
She didn't squeak, and it took a while for her head to come out: "My male god seems to... There are girls I like. β
Because of this little suspicion, she was restless all day the next day, and after taking dance classes, she asked Nie Chuchu to go to the city center for coffee in the afternoon.
Ordered a brownie cupcake and matcha coffee, Yan Xiao sat by the window, and Nie Chuchu went to get dessert.
There was a white mist in the window, she scribbled it casually with her fingertips, and subconsciously wrote the letter "z" to complete his English name, Nie Chuchu came over with coffee and dessert: "What are you doing?" β
Yan Xiao reacted, quickly wiped the letter, and took the coffee.
"If I don't stop you, are you going to write a love letter to it?" Nie Chuchu sneered and added sugar cubes to the coffee.
Yan Xiao drank coffee and ignored her taunts.
"Don't be sad, let's go to a movie and go shopping together, and make sure you don't have any worries." Nie Chuchu had just heard about Yan Xiao's listening to the radio last night, and comforted.
Yan Xiao stirred the foam on the coffee and sighed slightly: "If only it were really like what you said..."
When she didn't see Huo Zexi, Yan Xiao felt that he was just an unreachable person, existing on the other side of the electricity, which was not figurative, but now, he suddenly appeared, better than she imagined, even someone she knew more than ten years ago.
She was all at once, and she couldn't tell the kind of liking, whether it was love at first sight or a three-year long pile.
So she was already fully engaged at the beginning of everything, even if she knew the end result, maybe just waiting for a ship at the airport.
