She is afraid
The taxi was stuck in traffic for a moment.
When Zhou Anran and his group arrived at the hotel box, everyone else had already taken their seats.
There was a large round table in the box. Yan Xingqian, Sheng Xiaowen and Zhang Shuxian sat together near the door. There were two empty seats between Zhu Ran and Zhang Shuxian. Dong Chen sat on the other side, with two empty seats between him and Yan Xingqian.
Seeing them come in, Yan Xingqian immediately stood up from her seat, ran to the door, hugged Zhou Anran, and said in a sweet voice: "Ranran, I missed you so much."
Zhou Anran saw that she was wearing a short skirt and boots, and asked her in a low voice: "You are still wearing a short skirt in this weather, aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold." Yan Xingqian hugged her for a few seconds before letting her go.
Zhou Anran shook her hand and didn't feel it was cold, so he ignored her and just moved a little closer to her and whispered to her, "You really said you wanted to eat at this restaurant."
"Ah?" Yan Xingqian looked surprised.
Zhou Anran wanted to tell her last night, but after reading the group messages, everyone started talking about when to leave today, and she forgot about it again.
"Around mid-September, you shared a video of exploring this store on your WeChat Moments."
Yan Xingqian knew that she had a good memory and was careful, so she told her this, which must be true. As she lowered her head to look through her circle of friends, a strange feeling surged in her heart.
Zhang Shuxian patted the seat next to her and said, "Come and sit with me."
Zhu Ran then patted the one of the two empty seats that was closer to him: "Chen Luobai, what are you doing standing at the door? Come and sit down."
"Then Old He, please sit next to me." Dong Chen waved at He Mingyu, "Just help me separate from that crazy woman Yan Xingqian."
Yan Xingqian just came across the store exploration video.
She vaguely remembered that she saw an Instagram post of a blogger visiting this restaurant. The dishes looked good, so she shared it on her Moments and said that she wanted to eat it, but she has always been the type to forget things after sharing them.
When she turned to this record again and thought of what Dong Chen said yesterday, the strange feeling in her heart became more and more obvious. Just as she was about to look up at him, she heard Dong Chen's words.
Yan Xingqian instantly lost all her strange feelings: "Dong Chen, you want to die, who do you call a crazy woman? If you have the guts, take a bowl and eat outside the box, that way you can be further away from me."
"The restaurant is not owned by your family." Dong Chen glanced at her lightly, "If you ask me to leave, I will leave."
The two immediately started arguing again.
Zhou Anran just pulled out a chair and sat down. It had been a long time since she had listened to these two people quarreling in person. She felt somewhat familiar with it and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
There was a slight sound of a chair being dragged nearby, and then the refreshing breath came closer in an instant.
It was a closer distance than just now in the taxi.
Zhou Anran held her breath and lowered her eyes to see him sit down. The white sleeves of his baseball jacket seemed to brush lightly across the sleeves of her cardigan.
She wanted to move a little closer to Zhang Shuxian, but she was reluctant.
While hesitating, Chen Luobai suddenly lowered his head and moved closer to her. The fresh breath instantly reached her nose and lingered clearly around her.
Zhou Anran looked at the boy's straight nose and held her breath completely.
Chen Luobai lowered his voice even lower than before at the school gate, almost like a whisper: "Do they quarrel like this every time they meet?"
