Gao Bingqi is much shorter and softer than Yu Zhile imagined. She originally thought that with Gao Bingqi's unyielding personality when she was in high school, she should be a strong woman after work, so the image she created in her brain was similar to that of Manager Zhao, who stepped on high heels every day and acted resolutely like a war. The former top student in the senior high school entrance examination and the super scholar is actually a beautiful and lovely little beauty, and she is not aggressive at all.
Surrounded by several girls, Gao Bingqi generously stretched out her hand to say hello to Yu Zhile: "Hello, I'm Gao Bingqi, nice to meet you."
Yu Zhile pretended not to see Yu Zihuan's female classmates looking at her with more or less hostility, smiled and held Gao Bingqi's hand and said, "I heard Xiaohuan say you so many times, and finally I saw the real person, really So happy."
"Really? Zihuan often mentions me to you?" Gao Bingqi seemed a little surprised, but also had some unconcealed joy.
"Yes." Yu Zhile replied without any hesitation.
But she didn't tell Gao Bingqi that it was already Yu Zihuan's high school. At that time, thanks to Yu Zihuan's rivalry in love, she knew Gao Bingqi's rankings well in every exam.
"Zihuan is also true, why do you keep mentioning me when you're okay? I didn't make you unhappy, right?" Gao Bingqi glanced carefully at Yu Zihuan who was chatting with other male classmates beside Yu Zhile, and could not see from the flat expression on his face. If there was any clue, she withdrew her inquiring eyes, and there was no unnaturalness.
"Of course not. It's too late to know that he has such a good friend as you." Yu Zhile said this from the bottom of his heart. She is the champion of the senior high school entrance examination, a rare species that only produces one a year in S city. She really admires it. , I've long wanted to meet him.
Gao Bingqi smiled humbly, indicating that she was not as good as Yu Zhile, then continued to smile and said to her, "Can I call you Zhile?"
"Yes, everyone can call me Zhile, you are all Xiao Huan's good friends."
"Yu Zhile? Isn't this name very common? How do I remember Yu Zihuan's previous... "
Gao Bingqi coughed lightly, interrupting the provocative words of a girl behind her, and took over the conversation and explained, "Zihuan used to have a friend with this name, so we first heard that the first friend he had made over the years. My girlfriend is also named Yu Zhile, so I'm quite surprised."
Knowing that she was saving face for herself, Yu Zhile followed her words and replied, "My name is quite common, and it's not uncommon to have the same name, but it's quite a coincidence haha."
In fact, everyone present who didn't know the truth probably thought the same as Nie Hong when he first met Yu Zhile, thinking that Yu Zihuan had found a girl with the same name as Bai Yueguang in his heart as a substitute.
But this misunderstanding is probably not easy to solve. It is impossible to tell the nearly twenty people present that she is the Yu Zhile that Yu Zihuan has been looking for for eight years and is completely fake, right? One is that there is no need to explain, and even if they say it, they will definitely not believe it. After all, it is rare for people to be as innocent as Nie Hong when they are twenty-four or five years old.
Without Gao Bingqi's restraint, in order to stimulate her, those girls kept saying how important the former "Yu Zhile" was to Yu Zihuan, implying that she was just a stand-in. But the scene will always be a little embarrassing because you can't refute it. So Yu Zhile is still very grateful to Gao Bingqi for speaking so lightly that "Yu Zhile" who Yu Zihuan has been waiting for for eight years is just a friend.
Yu Zhile had to admit that Gao Bingqi really thought about Yu Zihuan very much. If she didn't have other thoughts about Yu Zihuan, she would indeed be a good friend.
Before sitting down, Yu Zhile noticed that the girl who wanted to bring up Yu Zihuan's past had a little conflict with Gao Bingqi, but it wasn't the kind of conflict that didn't look good to each other. It looked more like the girl who hated Gao Bingqi for not being steel, but instead. It means that their relationship should be good.
Sure enough, after everyone sat down, Gao Bingqi sat on Yu Zhile's right hand side, and the girl sat next to Gao Bingqi. Obviously, she was the best friend of Gao Bingqi among the girls present.
Under Gao Bingqi's repeated hints, the girl introduced herself to Yu Zhile and said her name was Jiang Manman. After speaking, she showed a perfunctory smile, and quickly retracted before Yu Zhile could react.
Gao Bingqi tugged at the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly, in exchange for Jiang Manman's white-eyed and whispered answer: "You can go if you want to have a good relationship with her, I don't want to be so useless as you."
Gao Bingqi glanced at her helplessly, turned around and said to Yu Zhile, "Manman's temperament is relatively slow, and if you have more contact with her, you will find that she is still very easy to get along with."
Yu Zhile likes Jiang Manman who is outspoken and has everything written on his face, at least compared to Zheng Zhilan, who is full of nine and eighteen bends and likes to pretend to be a little white lotus. The people are much better, but there is Gao Bingqi between them, and their positions are different. She probably won't have the chance to become friends with Jiang Manman.
Yu Zhile listened to Gao Bingqi's defense on Jiang Manman's behalf, but did not care that she said "slow heat" and Jiang Manman were not compatible at all, smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to find a topic with the two.
Jiang Manman couldn't understand it now. He wondered if Yu Zhile was really stupid or if he pretended not to care about the closeness of Gao Bingqi and Yu Zihuan. However, Yu Zhile's attitude was so good, and he kept smiling and talking to these girls who were obviously unfriendly in order to support Gao Bingqi. Jiang Manman was not too embarrassed to pick up a gun and a stick, and the atmosphere among the girls gradually became stronger than before they were seated. A lot of harmony.
Yu Zihuan's side has been dragged by Nie Hong and others to chat and reminisce, but in fact, he never stopped paying attention to Yu Zhile. Although he had confidence in Yu Zhile's ability to deal with people and things, he was still afraid that those girls would stand on Gao Bingqi's side and deliberately embarrass her, and he was relieved when he saw that she was able to deal with her alone.
The dishes were ordered by Nie Hong, Lin Tianyuan and Gao Bingqi before Yu Zihuan and Yu Zhile came, and Yu Zihuan, the birthday star, must be given a look before the dishes are officially served. These classmates of his are all locals in S City, and they generally don't like spicy food. Besides the dishes he likes to eat, they are basically light-tasting dishes, so he added a few more spicy dishes.
When Gao Bingqi heard the names of the dishes he mentioned, she subconsciously raised her hand to stop the waiter, and said to Yu Zihuan strangely, "These dishes are quite spicy, can you eat them?"
Yu Zhile knew that Yu Zihuan ordered it for her on purpose. Although it seemed like she was showing affection by explaining this in public, but since Gao Bingqi asked meddlesomely, if she didn't say a word, it would be as if her real girlfriend was afraid. , so he said, "I..."
"Lele loves spicy food, so I added a few more dishes. Would you mind?" Yu Zihuan held Yu Zhile's hand under the table and took her words. He calmly explained to everyone at the table, and didn't specifically look at Gao Bingqi to answer. Everyone listened to him, of course, it was impossible to say that they would mind. They all said that today was his birthday, and he arranged everything.
Gao Bingqi didn't say anything, just glanced at Yu Zhile and Yu Zihuan's hands, her face was a little ugly, but she quickly covered it up and talked and laughed with everyone.
During the meal, Nie Hong took the lead, and several active boys talked and acted, recalling the interesting past events in their class, and making the men and women at the same table laugh.
Seeing Nie Hong and the others learning the spoof of the scientists staged at the school celebration, Yu Zhile laughed and turned back and forth, winked at Yu Zihuan and said, "Is this a substitute for the unsuccessful strip/dress/dance contest? product?"
Yu Zihuan also smiled and rolled his eyes, but Yu Zhile still remembered Nie Hong's bad idea at that time.
"I didn't expect your classmates to be so fun. I remember that you also liked to participate in school activities at that time. Why didn't you play with them?"
Yu Zihuan's smile froze for a while, and was about to speak, but Gao Bingqi's soft voice came from Yu Zhile's right, "Zihuan was originally going to play at that time, or an important role, that is, the one with Nie Hong. There was an accident at his house, so..."
Gao Bingqi's words were not loud, but they were not light, just enough to attract the attention of the people around them.
Lin Tianyuan, who replaced Yu Zihuan in the sketch back then, took the lead in joking and said angrily, "Xiao Gao, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm not as good as Zihuan?"
Gao Bingqi immediately responded with a smile: "How dare I, you are the best actor in our class."
The best actor is Lin Tianyuan, who is usually scrupulous and law-abiding, helping the classmates who got into trouble in the dormitory to deal with the life teacher. Unexplained jokes that non-persons in the class could not understand, the result is that everyone at the table laughed again after hearing Gao Bingqi's words, only Yu Zhile didn't know why, and didn't think it was funny.
When Yu Zihuan saw that she was very dazed, he explained to her in a low voice, and only then did she understand the meaning.
Lin Tianyuan saw the small movements of the two, and then looked at Gao Bingqi, who looked a little lonely, raised his glass and said, "Come, I'll give a toast to today's birthday."
Yu Zihuan accepted his toast and birthday wishes with a smile, and was about to sit down when he heard Lin Tianyuan say, "Zihuan, why don't you have a toast to Xiao Gao? At that time, something happened in your family, and it seemed like a different person. Yes, it's so gloomy that we don't dare to talk to you, and we don't participate in activities. Every day, I study alone. If it wasn't for Xiao Gao, would you be as cheerful as you are today?"
Gao Bingqi hurriedly said, "This is not my fault alone. It should be said that everyone helped Zihuan get out of the shadows together." But after she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Zihuan with some inexplicable expectations.
After Yu Zihuan listened to the words of the two, he smiled lightly, and did not have eye contact with Gao Bingqi, raised his glass and said sincerely: "Yes, I want to thank all my classmates for not being harassed by me when I was hit the most. Scared away with the group, especially my roommates, thank you all."
