Chapter 27: News of the Dead
After a busy day, when she was about to get off work, Miao Shuyao received a call from Ms. Xu.
"Little aunt, tomorrow is your sister's birthday, your uncle has booked a box in Guokang Restaurant, you remember to bring Xiaoling over tomorrow night."
Miao Shuwan is Miao Shuyao's cousin, who is in her third year of high school this year, and this birthday party should celebrate her turning eighteen.
Miao Shuyao responded: "Okay, Mom, you wait and send me the time and box number." ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Miao Shuyao cleaned up the documents on the table. At this time, the mobile phone prompt sounded, and Miao Shuyao thought that Ms. Xu sent her the box number, so she didn't care, and continued to sort out the documents.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Miao Shuyao picked up her phone to read the news.
I saw the screen display: "Strawberry coconut custard asks to add you as a friend." ”
Miao Shu was stunned, who is strawberry coconut milk jelly?
The other party did not fill in the remarks information, Miao Shuyao clicked on the other party's profile picture, and saw that the other party's address was in Shanghai.
There is only one person Miao Shuyao knows in Shanghai, and that is Xu Qiyue, could it be that this person is?
Miao Shuyao didn't think about it anymore, and directly clicked to add friends.
After the addition was successful, Miao Shuyao just wanted to cut off WeChat, but suddenly the other party's chat window popped up, with a few lines written on it-
[Strawberry coconut milk jelly: Hello, Miss Miao, I am Xu Qiyue's girlfriend. 】
Miao Shuyao raised her eyebrows, sure enough, it was her, but Xu Qiyue's hungry girlfriend added to her.
[Miao Shuyao: Hello. 】
The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then replied:
[Strawberry coconut milk jelly: My name is Cao Youshuang, and I hope to make friends with you. 】
Miao Shuyao replied to her very politely, she was not ready to be friends with her predecessor's current incumbent, and her behavior was not very polite.
[Miao Shuyao: Miss Cao, do you have anything to do? 】
[Cao Youshuang: That ......]
[Cao Youshuang: I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and my boyfriend? 】
"Knock knock~"
Miao Shuyao was about to reply, and a knock from outside the door attracted Miao Shuyao's attention.
She raised her voice and called, "Please come in." ”
Gan Jingling pushed the door and entered: "Auntie, you're off work, are you leaving?" ”
Miao Shuyao nodded, closed the notebook, and put it in her bag: "Okay, let's go." ”
The two went out together, and when they were waiting for the elevator, Miao Shuyao remembered Cao Youshuang on the other end of the phone, so he took out his mobile phone and replied:
[Miao Shuyao: I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask your boyfriend about this matter. 】
Miao Shuyao looked at the prompt with an extra like message in her circle of friends, and replied:
[Miao Shuyao: You should already know that I am married, so there is no need to mention the past. 】
After speaking, Miao Shuyao didn't wait for the other party's reply, and put the phone back in the bag.
"Ding~"
The elevator door slowly opened, and Miao Shuyao and Gan Jingling walked into the elevator together and went to the parking lot on the negative floor.
Miao Shuyao remembered the birthday banquet the next night, so she asked Gan Jingling:
"Are you free tomorrow night, can you accompany me to my cousin's birthday party?" No, it's okay, I told my mom that you're busy. ”
Gan Jingling's expression flashed, and he readily agreed: "Of course I have time, I will accompany you tomorrow." ”
Miao Shuyao didn't notice the change in Gan Jingling's expression, she smiled at Gan Jingling gratefully: "Thank you, by the way, is Auntie going home for dinner tonight?" ”
Gan Jingling quietly pressed the lit mobile phone screen into an off screen, put it in his pocket, and said blankly: "I don't know, I still haven't come back." ”
"Then I'll invite you to eat out, and prepare a gift for my cousin by the way."
"Okay." The corners of Gan Jingling's lips curled, very happy.
At the same time, in Gan Jingling's pocket, his mobile phone screen lit up again, and on it were several messages from Avril-
[Avril: Son, I prepared a big meal, you remember to bring her back early, don't let her work overtime~]
*********
On the other end of the phone, Avril stared at the phone and waited for her son's reply, I don't know how long it took, but she just waited for a sentence:
[Gan Jingling: We won't go back to dinner at night. 】
[Avil: ...... Don't say it sooner! 】
……
Miao Shujiao and Gan Jingling went to a Cantonese restaurant in the west of the city.
"Jing Ling, let's sit here." Miao Shuyao pointed to the seat by the window and asked.
"Okay." Gan Jingling answered and pulled out a chair for Miao Shuyao. After Miao Shuyao sat down, Gan Jingling also sat opposite her.
After the two ordered, Miao Shuyao smiled: "This Cantonese restaurant is very good, but I don't know if you like sweetness." ”
"It's okay, I'm not a picky eater." Gan Jingling smiled brightly, picked up the glass and took a sip of lemonade.
The dishes were served one after another, and Miao Shuyao motioned to Gan Jingling to move the chopsticks: "Try it." ”
"Okay."
While the two were eating, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Huh? You are...... Miao Shuyao! ”
Both of them looked for prestige, only to see that the person who came was a beautifully dressed short-haired girl.
"Zhu Xiaojing? It's you, what a coincidence. Miao Shuyao responded with a shallow smile.
Zhu Xiaojing was her high school classmate, but she didn't contact her again after graduating from high school.
"yes, I didn't expect to meet you here." Zhu Xiaojing said with a smile, turned her eyes to look at Gan Jingling beside her, and her tone was mixed with a hint of surprise: "Is this your boyfriend?" ”
Zhu Xiaojing looked at Gan Jingling, her eyes were blazing, and there seemed to be appreciation in her eyes.
Miao Shuyao shook her head: "He's not my boyfriend." ”
Just when Gan Jingling was gloomy and Zhu Xiaojing was surprised, Miao Shuyao said again: "He is my husband, and we got married some time ago." ”
When Gan Jingling heard the word "husband", her eyes suddenly burst into a sparkling light, and she felt countless feelings of ecstasy in her heart.
The opposite of him was Zhu Xiaojing, Zhu Xiaojing's expression darkened, but then returned to normal: "It turned out to be your husband, Shu Yao, congratulations." ”
"Thank you." Miao Shuyao smiled lightly and thanked him, and then said politely: "What about you, how are you doing?" ”
"I'm fine, but, Shu Yao, I really didn't expect you to be married, some time ago, I looked at Qi Yuefa's circle of friends, aren't you still back together?"
。。。 Miao Shuyao knew that there must be someone who would misunderstand because of that circle of friends, Xu Qiyue really went too far.
"People are similar, but they look alike." Miao Shuyao explained lightly.
"Is that so...... Zhu Xiaojing lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and then raised her head with a smile on her face: "In a while, it will be the class reunion day that was scheduled that year, Shu Yao, you have to remember to bring your husband with you!" ”
Without waiting for Miao Shuyao to reply, Zhu Xiaojing said goodbye: "I won't disturb your dinner first, let's catch up with the old days then, bye-bye." ”
After Zhu Xiaojing left, Miao Shuyao retracted her gaze, took a sip of lemonade, and said silently in her heart:
Is Banju Day coming......
"Banju Day?" Gan Jingling asked suspiciously.
Miao Shuyao came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and explained to Gan Jingling: "When we were in high school, the classmates had an agreement, in order to prevent them from running to distant places when they grew up and losing contact with their old classmates and friends, they decided to hold a class reunion in the tenth year of acquaintance, also called Class Reunion Day. ”
"At that time, we looked through the calendar and found that it was a working day in 10 years, so we discussed postponing it for a few days and changing it to January 1, which is New Year's Day. This is also to prevent some students from resigning on the grounds of going to work in the future. ”
Gan Jingling suddenly realized: "So that's the case, it's really a good idea." Ten years of old friends are reunited, and it sounds strangely interesting. ”
Miao Shu'er: "Yes, seven years have passed, and I don't know what my classmates have become." ”
"It's November now, and the class reunion day is almost here." Gan Jingling was looking forward to that day.
After all...... On that day, he could hold Miao Shuyao openly and come to Xu Qiyue's face, and let him see that the person standing next to Miao Shuyao now was him Gan Jingling!
What about Xu Qiyue looking for a stand-in? How can a stand-in compare to the main one? Now he can finally let Xu Qiyue experience his mood back then.
How does this make Gan Jingling dissatisfied and happy?
But this is a later matter, and the top priority at the moment is the birthday banquet of Miao Shuyao's cousin who will be attended tomorrow.
"Auntie, I'll go to the bathroom first." Thinking of this, Gan Jingling put down his chopsticks and said to Miao Shuyao.
"Okay." Miao Shuyao didn't doubt him, and nodded to Gan Jingling.
Gan Jingling walked into the bathroom, but took out his mobile phone and clicked on the chat box with Avril-
[Gan Jingling: Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, the peony box of Guokang Restaurant. 】
[Avril: OK]
Gan Jingling hooked the corners of his mouth, deleted the information, then turned off the mobile phone screen, washed his hands, and walked out of the bathroom.
On the other end, when Miao Shuyao was waiting for Gan Jingling, she also turned on her mobile phone, and saw that Cao Youshuang in the afternoon had sent her many messages.
Miao Shu was stunned for a moment and opened the dialog box.
[Cao Youshuang: This-I asked him, but he didn't want to say anything, and he was very angry! 】
[Cao Youshuang: I know you're married, and I know that these are things in the past, but please tell me~ [Please]]
[Cao Youshuang: When he was talking in his sleep last night, he called your name. I secretly found your contact information in his list, Miss Miao, you tell me if it's okay~]
……
Looking at the long string of words on the screen, Miao Shuyao fell into deep thought, she could understand Cao Youshuang's mood, after all, she was just a little girl, and she would naturally be sad and curious when she found her boyfriend calling the name of others.
That's it.
Miao Shuyao sighed and typed a few words-
[Miao Shuyao: Actually, it's nothing, but I had some young feelings in high school, which are all in the past, don't care. 】
The other party replied quickly, and seemed to stay in front of him.
[Cao Youshuang: Really! Is it just that simple? 】
[Miao Shuyao: Of course. 】
Naturally, it's very simple, between them, there are only these, and even ...... They weren't even exes and had never been together at all.
