Qiao Ruoqing keenly heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone and suppressed her thoughts: "Cousin, are you outside? Who are you with? Your boyfriend? Let's go out and make a date some other day. I'll treat you and your boyfriend to dinner."
Qiao Nian ignored Qiao Ruoqing and gently touched his fingertips with her fingertips while taking the lemonade from his hand.
Under the slightly cool skin, you can feel the flame from the friction for a moment. It is just the light of a firefly, but it seems like it can ignite a prairie fire in an instant!
Just as she was about to take her hand back, Ye Wangchuan grabbed it, raised her head, her nose was straight and her lips were thin, there seemed to be little hooks in her eyes, and the thick night melted into a pool of spring water.
"God Qiao wants to run away after teasing you?"
“Tsk.”
Qiao Nian pulled his hand back and looked at him expressionlessly: "Why do I feel like you are being a hooligan?"
Ye Wangchuan moved his shoulders and smiled without commenting.
He was already extremely handsome, and in the night he looked like a noble young man from a writer's novel, proud and dignified, with every move of his being elegant.
"You call first."
She had been planning to call first.
Qiao Nian glanced at him, holding the drink in his right hand, bit the straw and took a sip, while holding the phone to his ear with the other hand, he no longer had much patience.
"That person is me."
"?"
Qiao Ruoqing didn't react for a while.
"What?"
She was still immersed in the fact that Qiao Nian's boyfriend was also around, and was still thinking about how to invite him out for dinner, firstly to build a good relationship, and secondly...
Then Qiao Nian's voice was heard: "The troublemaker you just mentioned is me."
Qiao Ruoqing: “…” She reacted: “How is it possible…cousin is joking with me? It’s not funny at all.”
"You don't think it's funny either?" Qiao Nian didn't have that much patience for her, and said simply, "You know what our relationship is, so there's no need to try to get close to me."
"I don't like the Qiao family, and the same goes for you. Stay away from me. I can't remember the past..."
If she insisted on coming closer, it would only remind her of the outrageous actions of the Qiao family when they were around the city.
Qiao Ruoqing herself felt guilty: "I was young and ignorant before... I didn't do anything."
Qiao Ruoqing still doesn't believe that the person was Qiao Nian. She thinks Qiao Nian just deliberately disgusted her by saying that it was the person who smashed the car.
Qiao Nian ignored her and hung up the phone. He then put the person on the blacklist and did not give Qiao Ruoqing a chance to call her again.
Seeing the evil spirit surrounding her, Ye Wangchuan felt cold and unhappy, and asked inconspicuously, "Who are you calling?"
"Someone who's traveling around the city." Qiao Nian didn't elaborate, just gave a vague answer, and Ye Wangchuan had already guessed the identity of the person who called her.
"Get in the car first. I'll take you to eat mutton hotpot."
"OK."
Qiao Nian threw his cell phone into his pocket, walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, got in, and fastened his seat belt with one hand.
With one hand still holding the lemonade that Ye Wangchuan brought her, she leaned back in the passenger seat, opened the car window to get some fresh air, and rested her elbow on the edge.
"Do you want to call Chenchen and the old man?"
Ye Wangchuan glanced at her sideways, reached out to turn down the air conditioner in the car, and said, "The old man came to your house to look for you this afternoon, but found that you were not at home, so he waited for you at home all afternoon. He booked the place for dinner tonight, and he has already brought Chenchen over. The two of them are waiting for you there."
The mutton hotpot restaurant that Qiao Nian likes to eat is located in a courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang. It is a private restaurant and the owner does not serve to the public and only serves regular customers.
