After paying the bill, the two left the restaurant. Ye Qiao was still holding the half-eaten piece of cake in her hand - she was so full from the food that she couldn't eat it anymore, and she didn't want to throw it away, so she took it away.
The two got into the car again. Ye Qiao sat in the back seat, looking at Ji Mo's fingers on the steering wheel, and then sideways glanced at his profile, his big eyes rolling around.
"Director Ji, may I ask you another presumptuous question?"
Jimo drove the car and responded calmly.
"ask."
"You must answer honestly, and you must answer."
"Okay." Ji Mo smiled.
"Well... my question is... do you still love Pei Ruoxi?"
Ji Mo shook his head almost without thinking.
"real?"
"When I started going abroad, I occasionally thought about her and felt a little resentful. Later... I didn't feel it anymore, not even hatred." Jimo smiled mockingly to himself, "It's all over."
In the back seat, Ye Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes were bright.
The car stopped downstairs, and Ji Mo got out of the car and helped her open the door.
"Go up. I'll pick you up and take you to Xiaofei's place tomorrow morning. You guys have a good talk, and then I'll help you with the contract."
Ye Qiao stood on the steps and nodded.
"Then... see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Ji Mo raised his chin toward the building door, "Have a good rest, tomorrow is another day."
Ye Qiao smiled.
"It's a new day now."
Ji Mo also laughed.
"Good night."
After turning around and walking up a few steps, Ye Qiao stopped again, walked back, and stopped one step higher in front of him.
"You haven't given me a birthday present yet?!"
"Sorry, I... I didn't bring it with me."
"Have you prepared a gift for me?"
"Yes, I originally planned to give it to you when you win the award, but..."
The competition day is the last day of May. Ji Mo originally thought that since she was at least in the top three, everyone would definitely celebrate and he could give her a gift then. But because of what happened last night, he naturally didn't have one today. The mood brings her a gift again.
"Are you angry at me for forgetting to bring it?" Ye Qiao asked with a smile.
Ji Mo nodded.
On the steps, Ye Qiao smiled, suddenly raised his arms and hugged his shoulders.
"Thank you for today, Teacher Ji!"
Ji Mo was startled for a moment, then raised his lips.
"all of us are… "
He originally wanted to say, "We are all friends, so there is no need to be so polite." But as soon as he said "all", he felt a warm and soft touch on his cheek. It was clearly a girl's lips kissing his face gently. A plan.
Ji Mo's voice was stuck in his throat, and his back stiffened.
At this time, Ye Qiao had already let go of his arms and walked up the steps carrying the cake.
"Drive carefully on the road. See you tomorrow, Teacher Ji!"
Waving to him in front of the unit door, Ye Qiao disappeared through the building door in a flash.
Ji Mo raised his fingers and caressed the place where she kissed him. He smiled and shook his head, opened the door and got into the driver's seat.
In the corridor on the third floor, Ye Qiao stood in front of the window and watched his car go away, his lips raised in the darkness.
"Teacher Ji, I really want to chase you this time, you are not allowed to run away!"
Turning around and carrying the cake upstairs, she was still shaking her head and thinking.
"Blessings lie where misfortunes lie, misfortunes lie where blessings depend... Well, our ancestors really don't lie!"
As he spoke, Ye Qiao chuckled again.
Losing a champion and getting to know a good man is not a loss.
