The restaurant is just an ordinary small restaurant, there are not enough big tables, so a few square tables are put together. In this way, two groups of people were seated.
Zou Yue is now the acting president, and she has a lot of things to take care of, so she wanted to invite Wei Qi to sit by her side. When she turned her head... Wei Qi had naturally sat directly opposite Xia Rou.
Zou Yue paused, and wanted to sit next to Wei Qi, but felt too revealing. In fact, she has never, never confessed to Wei Qi. But she always felt that since she liked Wei Qi for so many years, Wei Qi should understand.
Xia Rou just took off her coat and hung it on the back of the chair, and when she turned around, Wei Qi sat across from her. He looked at her straight, eagerly.
Xia Rou paused, and smiled at him faintly.
Wei Qi's heart seemed to bloom suddenly! In winter, the grass grows and the warblers fly, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant!
A boy sat down next to Wei Qi, and was immediately knocked on the back of his hand by another girl with chopsticks, angrily said: "I have no eyesight! Go and sit over there!" I went, wanting to vacate the seat next to Wei Qi for Zou Yue.
Wei Qi grabbed the boy with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Don't go, who will drink with me when you leave?" Forced the boy to come back.
He said that, no one else could do anything about it, so Zou Yue sat at one end of the long table, which was also suitable for her status as acting president.
When the menu was brought over, everyone was laughing and laughing, one person ordered one dish, and some didn't order it. In the end, it was passed to Zou Yue, and she added a little more at the end—the club's public funds to settle the bill.
Return the menu to the waiter, and then look up to see Wei Qi talking to Xia Rou.
"I didn't hurt you today, did I?" He asked carefully.
"No." Xia Rou gently shook her head.
"That's good." Wei Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "I was a little nervous at the time, and I was afraid that I might not be able to control my strength."
In fact, that slap did not control the strength well, it was too light. At the time, everyone thought it looked a little too fake. But... so many girls came here for foreign aid from this handsome guy.
Cold dishes were served quickly, as were beer and drinks. Holding the cup, Zou Yue stood up and summed up the performance first, praised and thanked her a lot. Finally, I thanked Wei Qi and offered him a toast. Wei Qi smiled and did it.
As soon as the hot dishes were served, the atmosphere became lively. Everyone ate, drank, talked and laughed.
Slowly, I noticed Wei Qi's attention to Xia Rou.
Help her pick up vegetables and pour her drinks. Feeling that the drink was cold again, I ordered a pot of hot tea for her...
There are many girls in the repertory troupe, and they are sensitive. Gradually, everything felt wrong. Senior Brother Wei's enthusiasm... is obviously for Xia Rou!
Then someone began to sneak glances at Zou Yue. Zou Yue's smile was really forced, it looked very forced.
Wei Qi... is still the same as in the previous life. Full of enthusiasm and vitality from top to bottom.
It's just that in her previous life, she only got to know him after she joined the company, a few years later than now. At that time, he had completely lost the little student spirit that still remained. He was a young man who was active, enthusiastic, and flexible. Unlike Xia Rou, who was dawdling in the company, Wei Qi, who is the backbone of the department, is deeply appreciated by the leaders and brings sunshine wherever he goes.
The more they ate this meal, the more everyone knew that Zou Yue's fate was over.
Senior brother Wei clearly showed a pursuit attitude towards freshman Xia Rou.
This is not the first time for most people to deal with Senior Brother Wei. Last year, Senior Brother Wei had contact with everyone. They always thought that even if they didn't, Zou Yue and Senior Brother Wei would get together sooner or later. After all, Senior Brother Wei accepted Zou Yue's invitation and came to give them foreign aid twice. Brother Wei's attitude towards Zou Yue has always been gentle and amiable.
But without comparison there is no harm. It wasn't until this time that the girls realized that there is such a big difference in the attitudes of boys towards girls they like and girls they don't like.
Indeed, Wei Qi has always been gentle towards Zou Yue, but it is only gentle.
But when Wei Qi looked at Xia Rou, his eyes were too bright. No one could ignore that scorching gaze. He didn't need to confess, he had already clearly expressed his love for Xia Rou with his eyes.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward because of this. Everyone talked and laughed deliberately, but because of the deliberation, the atmosphere became even more weird.
When it was time to check out, Zou Yue's face was already very ashamed.
The funds in the group belonged to her, so she got up and went to check out the bill/ticket with the waiter. I heard Wei Qi say: "If you like her works, I have a lot of them at home. When do you have time? I'll bring them to you. Is Saturday okay? Morning? Afternoon?"
That Xia Rou said, "I'm going home this weekend."
"Oh, you are local?" Wei Qi said. "My home is in Hu City, not far from the provincial capital. This is for you. This is my business card with my phone number on it..."
There are also boys in the group chasing Xia Rou, but Xia Rou doesn't agree to any of them. Those who are said to place candles and show BMWs under the dormitory building, it is said that none of them can win Xia Rou's favor.
Zou Yue wanted to continue listening, whether Xia Rou would accept that business card. But the waiter was already urging her, it would be too ugly for her to stand there without moving her feet.
Zou Yue followed the waiter very heavily and did not hear Xia Rou's answer.
When she came back after shopping, everyone had already started to put on their coats. Xia Rou wrapped the scarf around her neck and didn't care about talking. But Wei Qi, who was opposite her, had such a bright smile on his face.
Zou Yue's heart sank.
After leaving the restaurant, she said to Wei Qi: "Brother, you've worked hard today, so go back early."
Wei Qi glanced at Xia Rou and said with a smile, "I'll take you to school."
There are several boys in the club, not one more than him. But no one said anything, just a few boys gave each other a few winks and winked.
At the school gate, Wei Qi said goodbye to everyone, but he didn't say goodbye to Xia Rou in particular. Instead, he said a few words to Zou Yue at the door. Zou Yue has been standing outside the gate, watched him get into the taxi, then sighed, turned and entered the gate.
But I saw that most of the people in the regiment had dispersed. However, several people blocked Xia Rou there, seeming to be arguing about something, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Zou Yue frowned, walked over, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Zou Yue! Xia Rou is too much! She accepted Brother Wei's business card!" A junior girl who had a good relationship with Zou Yue said angrily.
She really... still accepted it...
Zou Yue felt very bitter and uncomfortable.
She was silent for a while, then said: "That's other people's freedom." After speaking, she turned and left.
"Zou Yue! Zou Yue!" They called Zou Yue twice, glared at Xia Rou bitterly, and chased after her.
"What! These people!" Zhuang Xiao stared, "I'm still a senior!"
"If you have the ability to control Senior Brother Wei from chasing you! Are you still to blame?" she muttered.
Xia Rou shook her head and pulled her away.
To Zou Yue, I silently apologized from the bottom of my heart.
In her previous life, when she met Wei Qi, Wei Qi was still single. Either Zou Yue has never been able to become his girlfriend, or they have broken up.
Therefore, Xia Rou would not feel that she had intervened with Zou Yue and Wei Qi. It's just that seeing Zou Yue's sad appearance made her feel somewhat apologetic.
Wei Qi failed to have the opportunity to speak to Xia Rou alone the first two times, but the root cause was that Xia Rou deliberately avoided him.
At that time, Xia Rou was still confused and didn't know how to face Wei Qi, so she avoided him.
But when Wei Qi expressed his love for her so enthusiastically and straightforwardly like in the previous life, and directly handed that business card to her, she remembered a lot in a trance.
The young man had always been aggressive and forward-looking. She had never seen negative energy in him.
In the department, no, in fact most of the young girls in corporate headquarters liked him.
But Wei Qi liked Xia Rou, it was love at first sight.
Straightforward confession, passionate pursuit, two years, perseverance.
But this young man full of sunshine was finally hurt by Xia Rou.
Not to mention this life, even in the previous life, whenever Xia Rou thought of Wei Qi, she felt a little sad and guilty.
His pursuit of her was too passionate, his liking for her was too pure, so passionate and pure that people didn't know how to refuse.
So one day, after the company's party, Xia Rou offered to ask Wei Qi to take her home.
Until now, Xia Rou still remembers how bright Wei Qi's eyes were at that time, and how happy his expression was.
But Xia Rou didn't let Wei Qi take her back to the apartment, she asked Wei Qi to take her back to Cao's house. That day, she was supposed to go back to Cao's house to see Cao Xiong and Cao Yang.
The guards at the gate, the large courtyard, the four-story main building, and the auxiliary building...
Wei Qi's joy turned into astonishment.
Xia Rou's nature is not publicized, and she has never publicized her background in the company because her name in Cao's family is not right. Wei Qi never knew.
At the gate of the main building, they said goodbye.
Wei Qi was silent for a long time without saying anything.
So is Xia Rou.
But Wei Qi has already received the information she wanted to convey.
After that, Wei Qi stopped pursuing Xia Rou. Soon after, he applied for an external transfer to a branch office. Later, they didn't see each other once or twice a year, and when they occasionally met at the headquarters, they just nodded.
Xia Rou breathed a sigh of relief at that time, thinking that Wei Qi had finally retreated in spite of the difficulties.
It can be seen that retreating when it is difficult, another way of saying it, can also be called... hurt self-esteem.
Hurt such a sunny person, Xia Rou occasionally thinks about it, and feels that she is covered in darkness. But those guilt and self-blame are not as great as the temptation to become "Mrs. Liang".
So she got engaged to Liang Zihuan.
When Wei Qi handed over the business card, all kinds of past lives flashed before her eyes.
Besides Wei Qi, she also thought of the envelope that Cao Yang put in front of her. There is also Cao Yang's evaluation of Wei Qi and his advice to her.
She thought again of today, when Cao Yang took time out of his busy schedule to come to see her... She remembered how strong his arms were when he carried her off the stage.
Regardless of past life or present life, they are all strong and powerful to protect her...
So she finally made a choice.
No, actually, she has already decided that in this life...she will listen to everything that elder brother says!
She took Wei Qi's business card and smiled at him. Looking at his bright eyes, shining like stars in her smile.
To Zou Yue, she could only say sorry from the bottom of her heart.
Because Wei Qi...
It's the eldest brother, the man chosen for her.
He said, I don't ask you to be rich, I just want you to be safe and happy, there is a man who really knows how to cherish and love you.
Those people, those things...you can't control them.
…
…
Forget it, big brother is here... always able to protect you...
