Chapter 19: Just Friends
"Everything changes over time, like I used to like pink things, but now I feel naΓ―ve, and before I know it, I'm not the same as before."
Su Qingruo seemed to remember that there was indeed a little boy who called a sister in front of her, but she had experienced too many things, and she had forgotten too much.
His love for herself was so strong that it made her feel unreal.
Hearing this, Xue Yue sat up straight, his eyes were real.
"But there are always things that don't change, like DNA, deeply engraved in the bones."
Xue Yue's eyes were too bright to look at her, which made her a little uneasy, and it just so happened that the waiter brought the dishes up, and Su Qingruo took the opportunity to avoid the topic,
"Let's eat, I'm a little hungry after a day of playing today."
She took a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl, chewed it in small bites, and the phone screen lit up, it was Shen Wei's message.
Su Qingruo didn't want to reply, but unfortunately, Shen Wei's messages kept coming, as if she was going to blow her up.
Helpless, she could only pick up her phone and recover her information.
"How's it going? How does it feel to date your little puppy? β
Shen Wei looked forward to it, as if she was the biggest beneficiary of this date.
Su Qingruo casually prevaricated, coldly prejudiced the chat above, remembering that Shen Wei had told him before.
Xue Yue was seriously injured before, and he went abroad for treatment for a long time, and almost lost his life.
Thinking of this, I couldn't tell whether it was curiosity or concern for him, Su Qingruo asked.
"By the way, why did you go abroad to recuperate? How's the recovery going? β
Xue Yue's hand trembled, and he suddenly chuckled.
"It's good that my sister knows that she cares about me."
Su Qingruo pursed her lips, put down her dinner and looked at Xue Yue.
Xue Yue cleared his throat and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts not far away.
"Qingruo? Why are you here? β
Su Qingruo was stunned and subconsciously turned around.
Not far away, a well-mannered man in a suit and leather shoes walked towards him.
He walked against the light, noble and elegant, Chen Yihua pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his knuckled hand fell on Su Qingruo's shoulder.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to eat here too."
Su Qingruo.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to dinner with a friend, and I happened to meet you, what a coincidence."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Chen Yihua consciously pulled out the chair and sat next to Su Qingruo.
Xue Yue's face became darker and darker, During this dinner, he inexplicably changed from a leading actor to a supporting actor, and looked at Chen Yihua with more vigilance.
This person is an opponent.
He coughed lightly.
"Mr. Chen, you've been here for a long time, and it's not good that your friends have been waiting for you, right?"
Chen Yihua smiled lightly and waved his hand casually.
"They haven't come yet, it doesn't matter."
He looked at Xue Yue for a long time.
"I suddenly remembered that you seem to be together, congratulations to the two of you."
said congratulations, but in the tone, I heard another meaning.
Xue Yue furrowed his brows, and a wave of anger spread out of his heart, as if a voice was hovering in his ears.
He is here to snatch your sister, and he can't let this person get close to Su Qingruo!
He clenched his teeth, his face turned a few degrees pale, as if he was holding back something.
Chen Yihua's eyes were faint and fell on Su Qingruo's body.
"I really can't imagine that the two of you will be together, it's really surprising."
Xue Yue said coldly.
"There are more unexpected things in the world, and in the final analysis, you still have less knowledge."
The two of them faced Mai Mang, and there was an undercurrent between them, but Su Qingruo didn't think about it carefully, so naturally he didn't notice anything.
Chen Yihua smiled, and then chatted with Su Qingruo.
"By the way, how did you prepare for your previous case?"
Su Qingruo didn't treat Chen Yihua as an outsider, he said it directly.
"There is basically no problem in winning this case, and whatever the Shao family is doing now is just useless."
Including Shao Heng's stupid behavior to harass himself.
Chen Yihua bowed slightly, and his eyes showed appreciation.
"Your ability, I'm afraid the entire Beijing City is unbeatable."
After a change of words, he asked Su Shengyu about the situation again, these private topics were all things that Xue Yue couldn't talk to Su Qingruo.
The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, Xue Yue couldn't insert his mouth at all, sat there like a background board, and ate sullenly.
It wasn't until someone called Chen Yihua that he got up and patted Su Qingruo's shoulder.
"If I go first, I'll meet again next time I'm free."
Next time? There will be a next time!
Xue Yue's fists were clenched, and his squeaks were squeaked, and Su Qingruo waved his hand at Chen Yihua and nodded.
"Okay, you can decide the time."
She...... Promised.
Xue Yue lowered his eyelids, and the loss was obvious.
Su Qingruo turned her head, Xue Yue was like a puppy forgotten in the shadows, looking at her pitifully and aggrieved.
She asked, stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong? Unappetizing? β
Xue Yue pointed to the dishes that had been eaten for most of them.
"I've eaten so much, can it be unappetizing?"
Su Qingruo was puzzled.
"Then you ......"
"Sister, can I not contact the person just now in the future?"
Xue Yue's sudden words caught Su Qingruo off guard.
He's jealous?
"I'm friends with him, and it's normal to have a few pleasantries."
Su Qingruo explained in a calm voice, but Xue Yue did not relent.
"But he doesn't like he treats his sister as a friend, everyone is a man, I know what kind of heart he has for his sister, sister, he is my potential competitor, I don't want my sister to be too close to him."
In the end, the tone turned out to be uncontrollable seriousness, like a god on high, giving an undeniable order.
Su Qingruo frowned, she had never liked to be restrained, and besides, the two of them were just tied together because of the agreement.
She was right.
"Xue Yue, don't be willful."
The simple three words, like a heavy hammer, fell on his heart fiercely.
He was stunned, and the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.
"Sister, is this request capricious?"
"Why doesn't it count? Even my parents are not qualified to ask me not to be friends with any other people. β
Su Qingruo was righteous.
Her expression was still flat, very similar to her appearance when she was fighting in a lawsuit in court, and her own solemnity made people feel serious and suffocated.
Xue Yue looked at her steadily, her eyes slowly calming from turbulent waves to a pool of stagnant water, these complex emotions were clearly seen by Su Qingruo.
Su Qingruo pursed her lips.
Could it be that what I just said was too heavy?
She softened her tone.
"I'm not what you think he is, we're just good friends."
