Neither of them said anything until the waiter brought the food. /huotxt/∑. ∑
Although there were delicacies on the table and the scenery outside the window was beautiful and picturesque, Jiang Chen always felt that he was not able to taste the food.
The bright red mouth chewed very reservedly, but regretfully did not speak. Although the blush on her cheeks had faded, Xia Shiyu was still staring straight at the food on the table. The slightly stiff expression looked like she was avoiding touching him with her eyes.
Just when Jiang Chen was about to say something to break the silence, Xia Shiyu suddenly spoke.
"Am I bored?" She whispered, lowering her head.
"how come."
It's not boring, after all, Jiang Chen is used to Xia Shiyu's cold demeanor. If one day she suddenly starts talking too much, Jiang Chen will be surprised.
"Really?" She didn't seem to believe his answer.
"Why do you ask that?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"As long as it's a party, if I open my mouth, I'll probably be left in the cold." Xia Shiyu said slowly with a confused look.
Although he didn't know why she would talk about it in this environment, Jiang Chen still considered his words for a moment before speaking.
"Maybe it's because of temperament?"
"Temperament?" Xia Shiyu raised her head slightly confused and looked into Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Just like the flowers on the high mountains, they are charming, but they can only be seen from a distance." Because they are inaccessible, they choose not to touch them.
"Does this mean in the eyes of the opposite sex?" Xia Shiyu murmured softly.
"That's right."
"What about homosexuals?"
"Maybe it's jealousy."
Jiang Chen's answer made Xia Shiyu's already calm heartbeat speed up again.
"What about you?" Under the influence of inexplicable emotions, she asked this abrupt question in a strange way.
"This question is difficult. Come to think of it, aren't we on a blind date? Why do we need to talk about such profound issues." Jiang Chen joked.
"Then do you want to marry me?"
Jiang Chen was stunned.
Is this a confession
He was not mentally prepared for this sudden confession.
He originally thought that with Xia Shiyu's reserve, this step would take a long time to come.
Moreover, he didn't expect her confession to be so straightforward.
"Shouldn't getting married happen after you fall in love with someone?" Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu's cheeks turned slightly red. He lowered his head and muttered softly.
"No one taught me this."
The behavior of such a young daughter is really hard to see on her face.
"Have you ever been in love?" Jiang Chen sighed and said helplessly.
"That doesn't count." Xia Shiyu denied without thinking.
"What is that?"
"Maybe it's just a failed attempt." Because I'm curious about what it feels like to be in love, and because I know that I can't be single all my life. For various reasons, she accepted the person she didn't like but who pursued her for the longest time.
However, even she knew that that kind of forced love could not be called love at all.
It was just something she didn't expect. What finally made him betray her was that she didn't want to be intimate with him. Could it be that the reason why he was so diligently surrounding her in the first place was just to do that kind of thing
Just as Jiang Chen thought, her emotional maturity was completely out of proportion to her career maturity. Rather than being innocent, it’s better to say it’s childish.
"Does it mean that if we become boyfriend and girlfriend, we have to kiss?" Xia Shiyu asked with blurred eyes.
"Well, this is not a hard and fast rule. Rather, if they like each other, no one will care about kissing each other."
"What about the other way around?"
"The other way around?" Jiang Chen stopped his chopsticks. Looking at her confused.
"If I want to kiss, will you date me?"
This sentence seemed to have exhausted all her courage.
In the restroom.
He took a handful of cold water with both hands and poured it on his face.
Feeling that his mood had cooled down a bit, Jiang Chen shook off the water stains on his face and looked up at himself in the mirror.
"What the hell, I'm almost turning into a scumbag." Jiang Chen couldn't help complaining to himself, and Jiang Chen sighed with relief, shook his head, and walked out the door.
He did not reject Xia Shiyu's confession, although his reason told him. Perhaps refusing is the wiser choice. He didn't hate Xia Shiyu. Rather, he admired this woman who had been silently contributing to her career. Very fond of it too.
From the initial hatred to relief, and then because of her inadvertent love for him, he also developed a good impression of her in his heart. This made Jiang Chen suddenly feel like he had been "blundered".
But even though he didn't refuse, he didn't fully agree either.
All in all, the current status of the two of them is probably somewhere between friends and lovers.
My parents have passed the test. The two agreed to declare their relationship in front of their parents. In this case, there will no longer be any troublesome things that urge you to go on a blind date. Xia Shiyu seemed to be very satisfied with this result. After all, she was not mentally prepared for that.
Take it one step at a time.
Just when Jiang Chen was about to leave the bathroom, a man who looked familiar stood in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, we meet again." Zhang Youjie smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and stretched out his hand.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and then his brows relaxed, and he also smiled and stretched out his hand.
"I wonder why Mr. Zhang appears here?"
"Because I am a salesman, I will always appear in front of people in need," Zhang Youjie shrugged, then smiled, "How is it? How are you thinking about it?"
"What to consider?"
"Become a citizen of the United States."
Jiang Chen gave him a playful look, "Did you know there are two agents behind me? Let me guess if you will be arrested and deported?"
"They have no right to do this to diplomats. Don't you even have the right to speak freely in your country?" Zhang Youjie shook his head and teased.
"That's hard to say." Jiang Chen said noncommittally.
"Ahem, it's not easy to meet you. Anyway, I'll keep it short. If Mr. Jiang is interested in our immigration policy, the embassy will provide you with a series of 'legal assistance'. A country's government has no right to restrict people's rights." Talented people are free to choose their nationality, and your being restricted from leaving the country is inconsistent with the laws of your country. We will put pressure on the international court, send you out of the country through special channels, and then force you through public opinion."
"Are you free to choose your nationality?" Jiang Chen smiled mockingly, "Why does it have to be the United States?"
Zhang Youjie was stunned for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "Is this what Mr. Jiang means, or is it the intention of the organization behind you?"
"Of course it's the latter."
"That's really a pity. We could have avoided the unpleasantness." Zhang Youjie shook his head and then smiled, "Then, I wish you a happy holiday."
After saying that, Zhang Youjie turned around and left, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
Looking at the direction he left, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.
Although he didn't think Americans could be in China, and they still caused some trouble under the eyes of the General Staff, there was still a hint of vigilance in his heart.
He had a hunch that this matter would not end so easily. (.)
