Qin Ye spent most of his time in the dance classroom except when he was in business. The next afternoon, he borrowed Wu Sen's car, slipped away a few hours early, and drove to the downstairs of Qiao Sinian's house to wait.
The greenery around this residential area is well done, lush, and the air is fresher than elsewhere. The temperature in the afternoon was neither too cold nor too hot, with the occasional cool breeze blowing, which was quite comfortable.
Joss Nian pushed all today's meeting off. He tossed and tossed and couldn't sleep last night, and only squinted for a while in the morning. At 4:30 in the afternoon, I received Qin Ye's message on time:
[I'm here, downstairs from your house.]
Qiao Sinian had been sitting on the sofa for a whole morning in disbelief. When he saw the news, he immediately got up and went downstairs, even forgetting to take his coat.
The nanny aunt at home was washing vegetables and preparing to cook. Seeing Qiao Sinian hurried out, she leaned over from the kitchen and asked, "Mr. Qiao, aren't you home for dinner today?"
When Qiao Sinian heard the words, he paused and hummed, "I have something to do. I won't be eating at home today. You can cook your meal."
Aunt Nanny nodded and said nothing.
When Qiao Sinian walked out of the residential area, he saw Qin Ye standing at the place where he was yesterday, waiting for him from a distance. The other party was leaning against the door, still dressed in casual clothes, and fiddling with his mobile phone with his head down. Even standing quietly, it silently attracts the attention of passers-by.
Qiao Sinian walked in front of him, and when there was a distance of a few meters, Qin Ye raised his head with emotion and smiled as soon as he saw him: "You came out so fast, I thought it would take a while."
Qiao Sinian smiled: "Someone invites you to eat for free, of course it's faster."
He didn't look as nervous as yesterday, at least he wouldn't blush when he saw Qin Ye.
Qin Ye opened the passenger's car door for him, and said jokingly, "Let's talk about it first, I can't afford it if it's too expensive, otherwise I'll have to put you there to wash the dishes."
He is willing to do his best within the scope of his ability, but he will not be swollen and fat, and he will pretend to be arrogant when he has no money, and his eyes will be open.
Qiao Sinian couldn't help but appreciate Qin Ye a little more in his heart. He sat in the car and looked quite supportive: "You can eat anything, even steamed buns."
Even if Qin Ye took him to squatting on the side of the road and nibbling on steamed buns, Qiao Sinian probably wouldn't be angry.
"Really or not," Qin Ye held the car window, his eyes fell on Qiao Sinian's handsome eyebrows: "Is it okay to eat for a day?"
Qiao Sinian's ears were warmed by him, and he nodded: "Okay..."
Qin Ye asked again, "How about eating for a lifetime?"
Josinian nodded subconsciously: "Okay... ah?"
He seemed to realize that something was wrong, and looked at Qin Ye with a little surprise, but the latter had already circled to the other side and sat up and started the car.
Qin Ye thought why he was still stupid, he put his hand to his lips and asked with a smile, "Can you eat spicy food?"
Qiao Sinian usually eats light food for health preservation, but it's okay to eat one or two spicy meals occasionally: "I don't have any taboos, you can decide."
Qin Ye said, "That's good. It's too pitiful to eat steamed buns alone. I'll put some chili sauce in it for you to make do with it. There's no other way. Recently, it's possible to save money and save money."
What he said was the same as the truth. Joss was a little unsure whether he was telling the truth or a lie. You can only sit in the seat and start the two of them to get along with each other in a true sense.
Qin Ye drove to a nearby commercial area, and it was quite lively at night with people coming and going. He parked the car at the marked line and said to Qiao Sinian, "There is a famous hot pot restaurant here, and there is also a western restaurant that tastes good. Which one do you want to go to?"
Qiao Sinian didn't know why, but a smile slipped quietly in his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly because of the glasses: "Then let's make hot pot."
Qin Ye just asked him if he could eat spicy food, and he probably prefers hot pot more.
Qin Ye snapped his fingers: "I think so too."
He and Qiao Sinian got off the car and walked to the hot pot restaurant. The streets were crowded with people coming and going. Qiao Sinian usually has a driver when he goes out. He rarely walks in such a downtown area. He tries to avoid crowds as much as possible, and he seems a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Qin Ye took his hand, pulled him slightly to his side, and then turned sideways to block the crowd of people for Qiao Sinian, with a low and steady voice: "Don't get lost."
Feeling the strength and temperature of Qin Ye's fingertips, Qiao Sinian nodded slowly: "Okay."
Qin Ye grew up in the countryside, and was used to running uphill and climbing trees. He has never had contact with a bookish person like Josinian. Now that I have come into contact, I only feel that the other party is gentle and obedient, and occasionally stupid, which makes people want to bully and protect.
So contradictory and so strange...
The thoughts that had been quiet all night became restless again, and were finally suppressed for a short time.
The hot pot restaurant Qin Ye chose was indeed very popular. There was a long queue at the entrance, and many people were waiting outside with their number plates. It looked quite lively. Qiao Sinian made a rough count and found that there were at least 30 people standing outside, and subconsciously said to Qin Ye, "Let's also go to the waiter to get the number plate."
They are like a pair of ordinary couples, standing in the crowd holding hands naturally.
Qin Ye took him directly to the door: "This store can be reserved in advance. I reserved a seat yesterday, just go in directly."
He knew that the store was full every night, so how could it be unprepared. Really let Josinian accompany him to wait outside for a few hours, the clay figurine will starve to death.
It was a surprise. Even if Qin Ye did not invite guests to a high-end restaurant, the details made people feel full of heart and sincerity. Everywhere was meticulously taken care of.
Joss Nian's heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably. It's just that people who have been single for many years really don't know anything about chasing people, and his calm and rigorous personality doesn't allow him to rashly attack, so he can only temporarily dormant quietly and gradually test.
They found a table under the guidance of the waiter. The air is filled with the spicy smell of hot pot. Compared with the quiet and elegant western restaurant, this kind of environment can obviously shorten the distance between each other.
Qin Ye ordered a mandarin duck pot, and then handed the menu to Qiao Sinian, asking him to order first: "Eat whatever you want, don't be polite to me, if you can't settle the bill, we will stay here to wash the dishes for the boss."
Hearing this, Qiao Sinian smiled and ordered a few dishes, hesitated for a moment, then got up and sat beside Qin Ye: "What do you think is better in their house, please recommend a few dishes."
He wanted to know Qin Ye's taste.
Qin Ye is actually not a picky eater, he thought for a moment after hearing the words, then he used a pencil to tick a few ticks on the menu, circled the dishes he thought were more delicious, and finally ticked a sour plum soup: "Their sour plum soup is freshly boiled, and it tastes good. , you can try."
Qiao Sinian read it again, took it in mind, and then asked the waiter to place the order. When he turned around, he saw Qin Ye was looking at him with a half-smile, and asked in confusion, "... What's the matter?"
"Not really," Qin Ye's smile deepened, indicating the position of the two of them, "This is the first time I have eaten hot pot with someone like this."
Qiao Sinian reacted, but he didn't care much, but smiled: "There is always a first time for everything, do you want to try it?"
The two of them were very close together, shoulder to shoulder, leg to leg. A small inadvertent movement can cause a collision.
Qin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and was about to agree, but saw that Qiao Sinian had quietly got up and sat across from him.
Qiao Sinian sat on the opposite side, his eyes hidden behind the lenses had a bit of shrewdness unique to a businessman, and the smile on his lips remained unchanged: "I suddenly feel that it is better to sit like this, otherwise the opposite side will be empty, which is a bit strange."
Qin Ye unconsciously rubbed his empty fingertips and nodded, "Alright."
Dishes came quickly. Qin Ye got up and went to prepare two bowls of sauce. The taste was very good. There was no other secret. Just add a spoonful of everything on the seasoning table.
The hot pot was steaming hot, and Qiao Sinian was wearing glasses, which inevitably hindered his vision. He could only take off his glasses, wrap them in a tissue and put them aside, squinting his eyes and swiping vegetables. The dark-colored pupils looked a little foggy because it was difficult to focus.
Qin Ye took a chopstick and put the fat cow in his bowl, and asked with great interest, "Hey, can you see me clearly?"
Qiao Sinian ate the vegetables he brought, then looked up at Qin Ye, squinted, and guessed, "I can see clearly,"
He compared the distance, which happened to be the distance between the two of them, and said slowly: "But I can only see you clearly, and I can't see other things clearly."
Qiao Sinian's voice fell, and he clearly saw Qin Ye smile, but the other party didn't say anything, just brought him a bunch of vegetables. Lest the short-sighted Joe Sinian put the peppers in the bowl by mistake.
At the end of the meal, Qin Ye raised his chin and asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Qiao Sinian nodded, the meal was more humane than he thought: "It's delicious."
Seeing this, Qin Ye got up and went to pay for the order, which just cost two hundred and five. He shook the receipt, was happy, and said to Qiao Sinian, "I have to invite you nine more meals before I can make up for the sushi last time."
Qiao Sinian didn't expect him to remember this, and guessed that Qin Ye didn't want to take advantage of it. Walk out of the hot pot restaurant with him: "Then the remaining nine meals, do you think I can hope to eat my mouth?"
Qin Ye faced him, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly backwards: "I feel very hopeful."
After he finished speaking, he found that there was a drink shop next to him, and went over to buy two glasses of grape and lime juice. A glass of less ice, a glass of room temperature, light blue juice is very transparent and beautiful against the transparent glass wall.
Qin Ye handed the cup at room temperature to Qiao Sinian: "Drink this."
Qiao Sinian noticed the difference and shook the glass: "Why isn't it iced?"
Qin Ye simply felt that drinking cold drinks after eating hot pot was not good for his stomach, especially Qiao Sinian didn't look very strong. He inserted the straw into the cup and handed him his drink: "It's bad for the stomach to drink cold. If you really want to drink ice, I'll lend you two sips of mine."
Qiao Sinian didn't speak, but glanced at him, but saw Qin Ye's serious expression, not joking. He raised his hand to hold the glass, leaned over and took a slow sip. The juice was ice-cold, and the tip of the tongue was filled with the slightly cool and sweet taste of grapes.
Qiao Sinian raised his eyes, looked at Qin Ye and said seriously, "This one is delicious too."
The hot pot is delicious, and so are the drinks.
Qin Ye didn't speak, he shook the glass with a smile, and there was a slight sound when the ice cubes collided. He also drank two sips of juice, and bit the straw along the way: "That's right, I never cheat people when I treat guests."
Qiao Sinian stared at the straw, wondering what he was thinking, pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. A gust of evening wind blew his neat hair a bit messy, and the corners of his clothes also rose.
There are not many people at this time. Qin Ye took Qiao Sinian around in a small circle, and then drove him home.
Qiao Sinian sat in the driver's seat, habitually wanting to fasten his seat belt, but he didn't know what to think, and withdrew his hand without a trace. When Qin Ye was about to start the car, he caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye and leaned over directly.
Qin Ye fastened his seat belt, the breath sprayed on his neck when he spoke, and whispered, "Remember to fasten the seat belt next time, otherwise it is easy to be in danger."
Qiao Sinian looked at him, didn't move, nodded obediently: "Okay."
Qin Ye heard his voice, as if he had been touched by something, and his heart was slightly itchy. He stared at Qiao Sinian's profile, and for a moment he couldn't help but want to get close to the other party, and finally his fingertips tightened slightly, and he straightened up.
For the second half of the road, the two did not speak.
Qiao Sinian sat in the passenger seat and quietly drank his glass of room temperature juice. Qin Ye's ice drink was put aside. With the change of time, the ice cubes gradually melted and finally became room temperature.
Qiao Sinian shook the empty cup, remembered something, and said, "By the way, I have already contacted the local hospital and beds. When you have time, just turn Auntie over."
Qin Ye obviously didn't expect Qiao Sinian's efficiency to be so fast. He glanced at him with a little surprise, reacted, and nodded subconsciously, "Uh... ok."
Qiao Sinian asked again, "Is it convenient tomorrow?"
Qin Ye was relieved: "Yes, I will contact you tomorrow."
The hospitals and beds here are obviously not so easy to make appointments. Living in the intensive care unit for one day is worth half a month's salary for ordinary people, and the connections and financial resources are indispensable. Qiao Sinian was obviously obsessed, otherwise it would not have been done so quickly.
Qin Ye's heart warmed slightly, and while waiting for the green light, he looked at Qiao Sinian and said two words seriously: "Thank you..."
Qiao Sinian shook his head slightly: "Yes,"
After speaking, he said seriously: "I'm waiting for your nine meals."
Qin Ye thought to stop talking about nine meals, nine hundred meals would be fine, and at the same time he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a pity that you didn't take the opportunity to blackmail me into ordering something. Nine meals will send you away?"
Qiao Sinian squeezed the empty cup in his hand: "then do you think I should blackmail you for something more worthwhile?"
Qiao Sinian is a businessman, and he has never done a loss-making business in his life.
Qin Ye was about to speak when he heard the phone vibrate, and opened his eyes, only to find that Wu Sen sent him a message and angrily asked him why he didn't pass the friend request of the person in charge of the group training.
Some time ago, the company deliberately selected several trainees to form a group to debut, Qin Ye was selected, and the senior management assigned special personnel to train them.
Qin Ye recently received no less than dozens of friend requests. He didn't have time to take a closer look. He may have missed the news from the person in charge. He had to turn on his phone, rummage through a bunch of friend requests for the account number of the person in charge of the company, and click through.
After doing all this, he threw the phone aside and continued the topic just now: "Blackmail anything, you can ask me to go to your house to shovel shit for the little fat cat."
The screen of the mobile phone has not been turned off, and it stays on the page just now, showing that he has just passed someone's friend request.
Qiao Sinian glanced over inadvertently, just saw the screen of the mobile phone, his fingertips were slightly tight, and he looked at Qin Ye subconsciously, a little surprised: "You..."
Seeing him hesitating, Qin Ye was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Sinian squeezed the cup in his hand unconsciously, and after a second he asked, "Did you... have you added someone in the group just now?"
He thought Qin Ye had passed the friend request of some members of the group.
Qin Ye was stunned for a second before realizing what he was asking. He was about to explain that it was the account number of the person in charge of the company. He unconsciously slowed down the car, and subconsciously observed Qiao Sinian's emotions: "Well... what would happen if you added it?"
When Qiao Sinian heard the words, he paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "...It's nothing, just a little curious, because you don't seem to pass the verification of friends very often."
The smile on his lips looked a little forced.
The author has something to say: Qiao Sinian: QAQ liar, only add me!
