When he arrived at the company, Xiao Chen unexpectedly discovered that Su Yicheng was in surprisingly good condition again, and he understood what was going on without much thinking.
He hesitated for a moment, then reminded Su Yicheng: "Mr. Su, leaving people with topics to talk about will greatly affect Miss Luo's future development. Besides, didn't you endure it a month ago?"
He couldn't understand this no matter how hard he thought about it. How could a man like Su Yicheng, with such amazing concentration, break his skills so easily? In the past, he never changed his expression when facing beautiful things!
It's not that Su Yicheng didn't know what Xiao Chen said, he just couldn't control himself, and Xiao Chen's reminder came just in time.
In the evening, Su Yicheng did not go back to Luo Xiaoxi's apartment, but put away the bunch of keys. Luo Xiaoxi had to take photos for a magazine and was too busy to take care of him. The two lost contact again, as if Those two days of intimacy never happened.
But none of them thought there was anything strange about this. Instead, it seemed that this was how things should go.
This weekend, Su Jianan was discharged from the hospital.
The day before she was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Shaokai specially chose a time when Lu Boyan was away to visit her in the hospital, and brought a bunch of lisianthus that Su Jianan liked to buy at home.
He was wearing casual clothes today and looked several years younger than his actual age. He smiled like a sunny boy.
"Today is Friday, how come you have time to come to the hospital?" Su Jianan asked curiously.
"There was a case last weekend and we didn't even take a break. We spent the weekend early this week." Jiang Shaokai put beige lisianthus into the vase. "In addition, I came to see you on behalf of all my colleagues in the Municipal Bureau. I just came to see you. Another big case happened right after we returned from Sanqing, and Captain Yan and the others were too busy to come see you."
"It doesn't matter." Su Jianan said with a smile, "Anyway, I have someone to accompany me here."
Jiang Shaokai didn't even have to guess: "Lu Boyan will be with you every day, right? Have you reconciled?"
Su Jianan nodded, pursed her lips as if smiling, but said nothing.
Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan have been together for seven years. He knows very well what her expression means, and he becomes curious: "What did he tell you to make you so happy?"
"He..." Su Jian'an recalled that morning in Z city, her cheeks were uncontrollably hot, and the smile on the corner of her lips became sweet unconsciously, "He confessed to me."
"Dong-"
Something in Jiang Shaokai's heart fell to the ground, and his brain went blank for several seconds.
The environment of the hospital is very good and quiet. The autumn sunshine jumps in from the window and makes the white gauze curtain almost transparent.
The scent of flowers in the ward is fragrant, the temperature is suitable, and everything seems to be particularly beautiful.
But it couldn't compare to the smile on Su Jianan's lips.
Jiang Shaokai slowly understood that this was how Su Jianan felt when she felt happy, and only Lu Boyan could make her so happy.
"Fortunately you didn't come with me on the day I received the certificate, otherwise you would have hated me now." He ignored the unnatural feeling in his heart and said with his usual smile.
What did Su Jianan think on the day when he and Jiang Shaokai were going to get the certificate
It seemed that he didn't have any complicated ideas, but he was trying to stop him with a glimmer of hope. After Su Jianan shook his head and refused, he didn't dare to take the second step.
Now it seems that he should be grateful for his cowardice at the time. Otherwise, I might not even be friends with Su Jianan now.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this that day." Su Jian'an said, "At that time, I just thought, let's take a gamble. I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I became a gambler and I used my marriage as a bet. I didn't expect to win. ”
Jiang Shaokai paused and then said: "Jian An, you are braver than many people."
At least, braver than him.
Su Jianan didn't know the deep meaning of Jiang Shaokai's words, so she just smiled.
She was brave only a few times in her life. Faced with her mother's departure, she persisted in choosing her favorite major, and... married Lu Boyan.
Now it seems that her choice of bravery was all right.
Jiang Shaokai said he had something to do in the afternoon, so he left without staying much. As soon as he walked out of the hospital building, he received a call from his mother.
"Shaokai, you have a day off today, right?"
His mother's laughter was both comfortable and meaningful. Jiang Shaokai already had a premonition of something and sighed in his heart: "Yes, I have a rest today. Mom, I'll go home to have dinner with you and dad tonight."
"No, no, parents are young, what do you want to accompany me?" Mother Jiang said with a smile, "But, it is true that there is a girl who needs your company."
Jiang Shaokai knew that his mother was going to arrange a blind date for him again. What he didn't expect was that he even asked to go home for dinner and still couldn't avoid it.
"Mom..." He couldn't even refuse.
"Don't be like this." Mother Jiang said enthusiastically, "The girl from your uncle Zhou's family has gone abroad to study since junior high school. She just came back from abroad a while ago. My mother has seen her twice. She is lively and steady, smart and capable, but a little bit... She's not strong-willed, she has a wide range of hobbies and interests, and her parents like her very much!"
"I'll give you a suggestion, you can accept her as your goddaughter." Jiang Shaokai said.
"Go, go!" Jiang's mother knew that Jiang Shaokai was very resistant to blind dates, so she had to take a step back, "In this way, after meeting Qilan, mother promises that she will not force you to go on a blind date in the next three months."
Jiang Shaokai thought for a moment and decided to stay clean for three months at a time: "When will we meet?"
Mother Jiang beamed: "Tonight at seven o'clock in the riverside cafe! Son, try to be dealt with!"
Jiang Shaokai couldn't laugh or cry: "Who wants their son to be taken care of? Mom, shouldn't you ask me to take care of her?"
"Don't think I don't know why you haven't found a girlfriend this year." Jiang's mother chuckled, "I've been married for so long, you should be worried. If you ask me, you should quit that job too. "
"Stop, stop, stop." Jiang Shaokai admitted defeat, "I listen to you, I will go on a blind date. Don't mention me resigning again."
"I asked you to resign because I don't want you to see me anymore, so you won't be cheap!" Jiang's mother said coldly, "It's okay if you don't know a good person's heart. Now I just hope Qilan can deal with you!"
"...Mom, I'm going to buy something first."
After speaking, Jiang Shaokai hung up the phone decisively and drove back to the apartment.
Other mothers are conservative and follow the rules. His mother grew up abroad. When he was a child, the most common thing he heard her say was: "Shao Kai, let's be friends~"
His mother, who has been her friend since childhood, was unambiguous when it came to worrying about his marriage. The most cruel thing she said was: You either find a girlfriend or you come out as gay!
Even if he didn't do it, she kept pushing him about the blind date. He had to meet Zhou Qilan today.
It was still early, so Jiang Shaokai went back to his apartment and slept until six o'clock in the afternoon before he woke up, took a shower, changed a set of clothes, and drove to the river.
When he arrived at the coffee shop, it was exactly 6:55. He sat at a window seat waiting for Zhou Qilan and saw his figure through the glass window.
Only then did he realize that he was still wearing casual clothes. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it would look somewhat informal. Would Zhou Qilan mind
At this moment, a light female voice sounded in his ear: "Jiang Shaokai?"
Jiang Shaokai looked over subconsciously, and the girl's bright smile magnified in front of his eyes.
She is actually wearing simple casual clothes, carrying a Balenciaga motorcycle bag, light makeup, fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and her smile makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Jiang Shaokai was stunned for a second, then stood up and stretched out his hand: "Hello, you are Zhou..."
"Zhou Qilan." She did not shake hands with Jiang Shaokai in a formal manner, but patted his palm like a Westerner, "Have you ordered coffee?"
"Not yet." Jiang Shaokai had a hunch that this blind date would be completely different from the past.
"Nothing is better." Zhou Qilan pointed outside, "Let's pack up and go outside. What's the point of sitting here dryly looking at the river view through the glass?"
Of course Jiang Shaokai had no objection: "What are you drinking?"
Zhou Qilan ordered a cup of Americano coffee, Jiang Shaokai packed a cup of latte, and the two of them left the elegant cafe with coffee in hand.
The two periods of late spring and early autumn are when the weather in City A is the most comfortable. The temperature and temperature are suitable, and even the air seems to be a little fresher.
"Um, how long have you been here?" Zhou Qilan said a little embarrassed, "I was shopping in the pedestrian street with my friends and wasted some time."
"You're not late." Jiang Shaokai said, "I just arrived less than five minutes ago."
"Then -" Zhou Qilan looked confused but interested, "What are we going to talk about next?"
Jiang Shaokai looked at the tall and long-legged girl in front of him in surprise and couldn't help but smile: "Is this your first blind date?"
"So this is called a blind date?" Zhou Qilan took a sip of coffee, "It's a surprise, not bad."
"What?" Jiang Shaokai found that he couldn't follow Zhou Qilan's thoughts.
"You are a surprise." Zhou Qilan pointed at Jiang Shaokai's face, "You are the most handsome oriental person I have ever seen!"
Jiang Shaokai was stunned at first, then smiled: "You have the most... special personality among the girls I have ever seen." Yes, not special, but special.
Zhou Qilan raised her lips and said, "My mother said that I would like to introduce myself to you."
Jiang Shaokai frowned: "Don't you think it's rigid?"
"So I didn't introduce myself to you like I stood on the podium to introduce myself to the whole class on the first day of elementary school." Zhou Qilan lay down on the guardrail by the river, "Actually, there is nothing particularly easy to introduce about a person. Isn't it just enough to say 'I am so-and-so'? As for your hobbies and interests, etc., wouldn't it be more wonderful to discover them slowly when we get along in the future?"
As she spoke, she sat down, stretched out her long legs from under the guardrail and hung them by the river, with the toes of her shoes almost touching the river water.
She was just out for a walk, leisurely and contented, just being herself, not caring what Jiang Shaokai, who met her for the first time, would think of her.
Jiang Shaokai stood on the side and looked at her, the corners of his lips raised slightly.
Zhou Qilan is different from the girls he knows, including girls with great personality like Luo Xiaoxi. Even if they can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, they can still be friends.
He doesn't hate her.
"Can I ask you a question?" Zhou Qilan lay on the fence, tilting her head and looking at Jiang Shaokai with a smile.
Jiang Shaokai nodded.
"You are so good-looking, so some girls like you." Zhou Qilan really couldn't understand, "Why do you still need a blind date? You don't have something to hide, right? For example... are you actually gay?" (To be completed Continued)
