Bo Ziren studied Cheng Jingbo's love coin attentively, and soon discovered that there was an exquisite mechanism inside the small gap. With a fingertip, the heart can be opened with a buckle. The two petals are like small wings, and both of them can be turned over a hundred times. Eighty degrees turns into a round coin. It seems simple, but it is very difficult to make it coherent and smooth without traces. She fiddled with it for more than an hour, but still failed.
It seems that magic requires talent, first of all you need a pair of hands with aura.
The edge of the love coin was shining in the light. Like a child who found a treasure, she kept looking at it, and finally found a small box and kept it.
Before going to bed, she flipped through his book. It was very old, and there was an irreparable crease on the spine.
It is a collection of essays by Zhang Xiaofeng.
After reading a third of the book, she guessed that the book was not his. Some sentences were underlined, which was not his reading habit, and the fine notes in the blank spaces were obviously girls' delicate handwriting.
In a flower note, he wrote: "Knowing that a kind of flower you love blooms safely under the blue sky of a foreign country year after year. The Book of Songs has an alias, Pa Jing, which makes me feel that a copy of the Book of Songs on the table has a rich and rich fragrance that bursts out of the pages."
There is a line of notes on the side: "Who is the son, the special scriptures."
"Han Yu's "Jin Xue Jie" said that "Poetry" is upright and wonderful."
Seeing the late night, Bai Ziren had doubts after covering up the book, who had read the book and who made the notes on it.
Maybe it was an old book he bought, or it was given to him by someone else, if it was the latter, it must be a girl, and what kind of girl would give him a book
However, since he said that he didn't like anyone before, it doesn't matter who it is. If it's a friend who has a good relationship with him, of course she will respect it.
In fact, she appreciates these notes quite a lot. On winter nights, when the cold wind blows outside the window, and there is a book in hand under the light in a corner of the room, she happens to see such idle and interesting words, as if seeing the breeze in the wilderness and smelling the dark fragrance of pine nuts ,feels good.
When she read Spring Nostalgia, she fell asleep unknowingly, sleeping peacefully.
When she woke up the next day, she found that there was a missed call in her mobile phone, which was from him, and there was also a message.
"Nothing important, sleep more, I'll buy something for you in two days."
Bai Ziren suddenly realized that he guessed that she was lying in bed and was going to buy something for her to eat. He really seemed to treat her like some kind of lazy animal.
…
After staying at home for two days, Bai Ziren went out to eat with Uncle Mu. Before going out, Liu Xinyu thought she was dressed too plainly, and insisted on hanging a pearl necklace around her neck. Bai Ziren didn't know the details, but it was just for a meal. Why? You have to wear jewelry, but the doubts are doubts, and you don’t deliberately say no.
On the way to drive, Uncle Mu said, "Xiao Ren, you look beautiful today, you should be more confident."
"Huh?" Bai Ziren was a little puzzled.
Uncle Mu didn't say anything, and reminded tactfully: "I mean, you are very good, sometimes you might as well show this to others boldly."
Bai Ziren was a little confused.
"I was in sales at first, and ran from house to house carrying products. At the beginning, I was quite shy, and my words were bumpy. Before I could say a few words, people closed the door and chased me away. After several times, I summed up my experience. When dealing with customers, especially those who meet for the first time, you must speak fluently, have an attitude, and even be confident, so that they feel that what you sell is good. OK."
Uncle Mu usually also likes to look back on the hard times in the past. Regarding these, Bai Ziren felt that they made sense, and listened carefully to him all the way.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Bai Ziren was a little surprised to learn that Uncle Mu had booked a private room. Uncle Mu explained that the first floor was too noisy and the environment on the second floor was not as elegant.
"Uncle Mu, thank you."
Bai Ziren's thanks are sincere, and to be honest, Uncle Mu has treated her well all these years. Although the relationship between the two cannot be as close as that of a biological father and daughter, as a friendly, generous and patient elder, Bai Ziren is in harmony with her. There is no pressure to get along with him.
"My family, don't say thank you." Uncle Mu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and said warmly, "Let's go up."
Walking into the private room, not long after sitting down, two people came in. The one in front of him, Bai Ziren, had met him a long time ago. He was Uncle Mu's elder brother. He had a round face and was very kind. At his mother's wedding, he She praised her for being polite, but she didn't know the tall man behind him who was wearing a suit and looked good.
Bai Ziren stood up and offered to say hello to Uncle Mu.
"Ah, this is Xiaoren. I haven't seen him for so many years and she is already a big girl." Seeing Bai Ziren's appearance, Uncle Mu smiled gratifiedly.
"Yeah, our Xiaoren is very good, and he is a graduate student now." Uncle Mu also smiled.
The two sat down, Uncle Mu didn't deliberately introduce each other, and the young talent beside him sat down leisurely, and nodded to Bai Ziren: "I'm Zhou Xianran."
Bai Ziren said hello.
"Xiao Ren, Mr. Zhou is the son of the owner of this restaurant. He knew that we were here today, so he specially came here to help us introduce the dishes here."
"You're welcome." Zhou Yanran smiled, and the gold-rimmed spectacle frames cast a warm light, "Just call me Xiao Zhou."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xianran opened the menu and took the order, while Uncle Mu and Uncle Mu chatted about the daily routine naturally.
The dishes came out quickly one after another, Bai Ziren ate quietly, listening to Uncle Mu and uncle talking, occasionally he just smiled at Zhou Xianran's eyes, didn't say much, and ate dishes gracefully with chopsticks, of course the portion was not much.
When the fourth course was served, Bai Ziren went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he ran into someone he knew.
"Are you here to eat?" Zhou Biran thought he was wrong.
"I came with my uncle." Bai Ziren didn't expect such a coincidence that Zhou would definitely be here.
It was a rare encounter, so Zhou Biran couldn't help but say a few more words: "I planned to study at home during the winter vacation, but my dad insisted that I come here to work."
"work to earn a living?"
"Yes, do some trivial things like washing dishes and serving dishes. If you don't come, you will miss me all the time. There is no way. You can't read quietly at home, so you can only come."
Thinking of his last name, Bai Ziren guessed a possibility: "Is your father the owner of this restaurant?"
Zhou Bibi was dumbfounded, and nodded quickly: "You are very smart."
He never disclosed at school that his family was in the catering business, and it was well-known and large-scale, with four branches in the city, but facing her, he felt that there was no need to hide it.
"That Zhou Xiaran was your elder brother?"
Zhou Biran couldn't believe it this time: "Why do you know everything? You know him?"
Bai Ziren said bluntly, "Yes, he is in our box."
Shrewd as Zhou Bingyi, he knew what was going on right away, and there was a flash of eagerness in his eyes.
"Is he here to date you?"
Bai Ziren was startled.
"It must be true." Zhou Biran smiled coldly, "Someone told his fortune, if he doesn't get married this year, he will have to wait another five years. My dad believes it very much, and has been helping him find a partner since the second half of last year. I’ve met a row so far, but he didn’t see any of them.”
Bai Ziren originally wanted to say it was impossible, but then recalled every detail, and felt that Zhou Biran's statement was correct.
Her silence made Zhou Biji very uneasy.
"You don't really like him, do you? For the sake of old classmates, I advise you that although he has good conditions, he is really not suitable for you."
What Bai Ziren was thinking at the moment was how to find an excuse to leave, and didn't care what Zhou Biran said.
Zhou Biran was really anxious, pulled her past the corner of the corridor, and said in a low voice, "Let's tell you straight, he has no sense of responsibility. The previous girlfriend was together for three years, and she was pregnant with him in the middle." The child, but he didn’t keep it, my mother has always strongly opposed it, he finally compromised, bought a house for the other party as compensation, and continued to live with peace of mind.”
Bai Ziren interrupted him: "Zhou Biran, you don't need to tell me about your family affairs in detail."
"You think I'm willing to say such a shameful thing? I'm just afraid that you will be fooled, so I have to remind you that he is really not suitable for you. Don't listen to your uncle foolishly, and don't be fascinated by his superficial skills." .”
"I will not."
Hearing her resolute tone, Zhou Bibi breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart returned to its original place.
"I already have a boyfriend."
Zhou Biran looked at her silently, as if hearing an anecdote, and it took him a long time to respond: "Bai Ziren, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The next second, the cell phone in Bai Ziren's pocket rang. Seeing that it was Uncle Mu's call, he probably called to ask her because she hadn't come back for a long time.
"I'll go back first, goodbye." After Bai Ziren finished speaking, he walked around the frozen Zhou Biran and walked quickly back to the box.
Back in the box, Uncle Mu kindly asked her why she had been there for so long, and if she was uncomfortable, and she said it was fine.
Zhou Xianran on the opposite side was already a little bored, but the demeanor he maintained on the surface was flawless, he folded his hands, and said gently: "Is it too stuffy here, do you want to open the window for a while to get some air?"
Uncle Mu took the opportunity to say, "Master Zhou, can you take Xiao Ren out for a walk? Just now I saw that the newly built fish pond on the first floor is very beautiful."
"Of course, it's my honor." Zhou Xianran wiped his slender fingers with a white tissue, and invited Bai Ziren, "Would you like to go out for a walk with me?"
At this point, Bai Ziren already knew what the situation was, and knew that she should make a quick decision, so she stood up.
Zhou Xianran also got up, and he already had an idea in his heart. He was satisfied with her appearance. Although her words were a little boring, she was much better than a noisy woman. First, try to be alone with her. She kept in touch with her all the time. If she didn't have too much feeling for her, just find an appropriate excuse and push her away. Looking at her like this, she shouldn't be the one who is pestering him.
Unexpectedly, when Bai Ziren stood up, he said: "I'm full, I'm going back."
Zhou Xianran's eyes dimmed, and his eyes were a little surprised.
"Xiaoren, what's the matter with you? Why are you in such a hurry, there's nothing wrong..."
"Uncle Mu." Bai Ziren interrupted him for the first time, insisting on his decision, "I just received a call from my boyfriend. He has something to ask for me. I'll take a step first and go home by myself later."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the box efficiently. Uncle Mu chased her out immediately and grabbed her.
"Xiao Ren, is what you said true? You have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell us? If I had known, I wouldn't have..." His brow was sweating, he couldn't continue, and sighed heavily , I felt guilty, after all, I lied to her to come here today, and he couldn't pass the responsibility on to her.
"Sorry, Uncle Mu, I should have told you earlier, but I just don't know how to say it."
Uncle Mu forced a smile: "Forget it, go back to the box with me first, at least give someone an explanation."
Bai Ziren shook his head, "It's impossible for me to be friends with him, so there's no need to say more, otherwise they will think I'm having a temper tantrum, just joking around, and won't take my words seriously."
It was the first time seeing her consider things so thoroughly, Uncle Mu felt powerless and didn't know how to smooth things over.
"To avoid misunderstanding, I won't go in. Uncle Mu, please explain to me. I'll go back first. The bus here is very convenient, so don't worry."
After Bai Ziren left, Uncle Mu returned to the box, feeling very complicated, he managed to pull himself together, took a sip of tea, and briefly explained the situation.
"It turned out to be like this. It's a pity. Mr. Zhou's conditions are not easy to find." Uncle Mu was also embarrassed, and he wanted to compliment Zhou Xianran.
Uncle Mu repeatedly apologized.
Zhou Xianran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled: "I don't care about small things."
Pausing for a moment, he said to the two elders: "I have a good impression of Ms. Bai, and I hope to have a chance."
Uncle Mu didn't expect him to say that.
"Farewell first." Zhou Xianran got up steadily, bowed slightly and quickly walked out of the box.
