Chapter 19: I Only Know You

The waiter came over to serve the food, interrupting Xie Xingqi's reminiscences.

When the food is ready, the waiter retreats, leaving a quiet space for two.

Jiang Jianyue poured a cup of lemon tea and pushed it over, looked at Xie Xingqi's thoughtful expression on the other side, and said with a smile: "Did you remember?" ”

Xie Xingqian took the cup, "I don't remember the name you said, but when I said Qi Bangs, I remembered it, Ouyang Xi is the girl who talks a lot, right...... Unexpectedly, He Mingheng fell in love with her in high school. ”

Jiang Jianyue also filled herself with a glass and took a sip, "It's her, it seems that it was talked about in the second semester of the second semester of high school, but the teacher found out in the third year of high school, not only did she carry the punishment, but also broke up." ”

Xie Xingqian chuckled lightly and twisted an orange in the fruit bowl that came with the meal: "I have always been in contact with He Mingheng, but I haven't heard him say it." ”

"You graduated a year before us, and it's normal not to know." Jiang Jianyue took a piece of roasted toast, dipped it in condensed milk, and ate it.

"You have been away from Jiangcheng for so many years, are your former high school classmates still in touch?" Jiang Jianyue asked.

All the intersection between the two of them is in high school, and I always have to mention it.

Xie Xingqian moved elegantly peeling the sugar orange, and his voice was soft: "There are a few, there are not many contacts, they took the undergraduate examination in Beijing, and occasionally had a meal together in the past few years, but in the past two years, there has been less contact, and now He Mingheng has more contacts, but he has been on a business trip recently, and I haven't seen him when I come back." ”

Jiang Jianyue held her cheeks: "Then when you come back this time, you really have to re-establish your social circle." ”

Xie Xingqian was noncommittal, picked up the orange peels one by one into the plate, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Old classmate here in Jiangcheng, I only know you now." ”

He handed her the peeled orange, Jiang Jianyue subconsciously took it, and only after taking it in his hand did he realize that he handed it naturally, and she took it for granted......

It's just that the oranges are in her hands, and it is impossible to return them, so she puts the oranges in her mouth, and it is sweet for a while.

"In the past, I was in contact with one or two of my high school classmates, but looking at the circle of friends, everyone developed well." Jiang Jianyue swallowed the flesh and also talked about the situation on her side.

The people who came out of the first class were all top students, and there was no one in the college entrance examination back then, but now everyone has entered all walks of life, and most of them are thriving.

Xie Xingqian twisted a piece of fried yam with chopsticks, put it in his bowl, and said casually: "I haven't seen you for so many years, can you still match the classmates in WeChat?" ”

Jiang Jianyue smiled: "Everyone loves to share photos, and when they see it, they can naturally match the number, and later some students added it through the WeChat group, and they made notes at that time." ”

“……”

Xie Xingqian stopped moving, and seemed to be a little speechless and stopped.

But he didn't say anything after all, but lowered his head and ate the yam in the bowl in silence.

The two then moved on to other topics.

Jiang Jianyue told some interesting stories about the university, such as the first snow on the OUHK campus, a group of southerners in their class ran to the playground, lay directly in the snow and rolled around, and even teased people with their heads tilted and opened their mouths to eat the snowflakes falling from the sky.

She mentioned the college entrance examination that year, the graduation trip to university, the first time she went to Tibet alone as an adult, and the holiness of Everest and the romance of the plateau.

Xie Xingqian was a perfect listener, Jiang Jianyue described the past, and he listened carefully and attentively.

Of course, Xie Xingqian also picked up some interesting things to say.

For example, the haunted teaching building in the courtyard, the mental journey after the first anatomy class.

also mentioned some ridiculous strange things, such as a very merry boy in their class, always like to pile up with girls, at that time many classmates said that boys are central air conditioning, but before graduation, the boy confessed to him.

After many years of talking about this, Xie Xingqian still had a cracked expression, Jiang Jianyue really couldn't hold back and laughed.

At a certain moment, Jiang Jianyue sighed in her heart: Xie Xingqi, who was cold and arrogant in his impression, turned out to be such a person.

Sure enough, people have to be in contact with each other to make a conclusion......

After chatting for a while, the dishes on the table were already on disc.

Xie Xingqian drank water and cleared his mouth, raised his eyes to observe Jiang Jianyue's expression: "How is today's dish?" ”

In addition to sweets, Xie Xingqian didn't know Jiang Jianyue's other tastes, so every time he served a dish, he would pay attention to the frequency of Jiang Jianyue's chopsticks.

However, she didn't seem to be too picky eater, she ate every dish, and Xie Xingqian couldn't figure out her preferences for a while.

Jiang Jianyue commented objectively: "I like the taste very much, but the portion is small." ”

"Add some food?"

Jiang Jianyue shook her head: "Forget it." ”

Xie Xingqian sighed: "Then change another one next time." ”

Jiang Jianyue blinked and raised her eyes to look at him: "Isn't it not good for us to comment on your friend's shop like this." ”

Xie Xingqian was full of straightforward calmness: "Can't eat enough with money, and don't let people say a few words?" ”

Jiang Jianyue bent her eyebrows, and was amused by him again.

The sudden vibration of the mobile phone distracted Jiang Jianyue's attention, and she looked down at the phone, which displayed a string of numbers for incoming calls.

I've seen a lot of strange calls like this in the past two days, and there is no doubt that they were from Qi Sili.

Jiang Jianyue refused the call, and her smile faded.

She put down the tissue and got up, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Xie Xingqian raised his eyes and bowed his head: "Okay." ”

Taking advantage of her departure, Xie Xingqian turned out He Mingheng's WeChat.

Star: [Does your restaurant accept takeout orders?] 】

He Mingheng: [Brother's store is a medium-luxury route, how can it be possible to take takeaway orders! ] 】

Star: [The mid-luxury route is not to give people enough food? 】

He Mingheng: [? 】

He Mingheng: [Next time report my name, brother will give you VIP treatment, okay?] 】

Xie Xingqian only ate He Mingheng's restaurant once in Beijing two years ago, when the restaurant had not yet been upgraded, and it was very cost-effective.

If he knew that He Mingheng's restaurant was using diners as leeks now, he would not bring Jiang Jianyue here for anything.

Xie Xingqian put down his phone, and Jiang Jianyue also came back at this time.

She glanced at the time on her phone, "Check out, are you leaving?" ”

Xie Xingqian raised his hand and called the waiter: "Pay the bill." ”

The waiter immediately came over and handed the bill to Xie Xingqi.

Jiang Jianyue went to pick it up: "I'll pay, I said I wanted to invite you to dinner last time." ”

Xie Xingqian said with a comfortable expression: "I came this time, and you will have a chance to invite me in the future." ”

Hearing him say this, Jiang Jianyue didn't talk to Xie Xingqian about the meal money anymore, but only silently remembered a love in her heart and said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you this time." ”

Xie Xingqian scanned the code and settled the account, and said softly: "It should be." ”

Jiang Jianyue was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what he was referring to for a while.

After eating, we have to hurry back to the bureau.

A glance at their watch showed that they had been dining for an hour and a half, and it was close to nine o'clock by this time.

The two went down to the parking lot, and Xie Xingqian asked Jiang Jianyue to stay in the air-conditioned waiting hall, "You wait for me here, I'll drive the car over." ”

He walked away quickly, his clear and straight back quickly disappearing into the dim shadows.

Jiang Jianyue was waiting in the cool glass room, bored, and suddenly remembered that Zhu Lihua was still waiting for her to call back.
