Ruan Jiujiu said that you can't be stingy with money when eating a big meal. Originally, she only wanted to order a few dishes. Seeing that this one was delicious, that one was also delicious, so she unknowingly ordered more food than her share.
The waiter woke up a bottle of red wine and poured it for Ruan Jiujiu.
The environment of the restaurant is excellent, the melodious violin sound is just right, the slightly hazy lighting, the decoration is exquisite to the details, and the well-dressed guests hold wine glasses and talk in a low voice, and there are few noisy noises.
Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the night view of a small half of the city. Adjacent to the river bank, it has a wide view and avoids row upon row of high-rise buildings just right. At night, it is like a dragon and lights. The bright but misty urban night is the opposite of the reserved and restrained daytime.
The majestic and heavy rain fell on the ground, but no sound could be heard, which made Ruan Jiujiu a little dazed for a while.
Cheng Juan should have returned home.
The waiter came forward with the dishes, and Ruan Jiujiu smelled the tempting smell of the food, and immediately put Cheng Juan behind her. She thought a little guiltyly, if the restaurant tastes good, she can bring Cheng Juan over for dinner next time to make up for it.
It's not that she eats alone, there's nothing she can do about it.
…
At the same time, Cheng Juan and his party took the elevator upstairs.
Tu Nan looked very excited. The boss hadn't had dinner with them for a long time, which made them feel that something was missing in the bachelor alliance. He babbled along the way, and asked his sister-in-law with great concern what she was doing recently, whether the game was fun, and hoped that her sister-in-law could give an answer sheet on her game experience, etc.
Of course, An Rou knew that Cheng Juan was so angry that she became a beauty in the game, and her face was a little ugly. A faint sense of crisis lingered around her—it was definitely not an easy woman for Cheng Juan to do this.
What exactly happened during this time? An Rou frowned, looking unhappy.
but…
Tonight is a good opportunity, she should seize it.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she regained her confidence. Even a man can't refuse a beauty's embrace, especially against the rough and gaudy flower at home, which makes her look more elegant and refined. Cheng Juan is only a little passive, but she doesn't mind taking the initiative.
Tu Nan coughed: "Get out of the elevator, An Rou, what are you doing stupidly?"
Jiao Fan was a fool who had never been in a relationship before, he was stunned, unlike him who had long ago discovered that An Rou was staring at her boss along the way, her eyes were so soft that water overflowed, which embarrassed Tu Nan for a while. He really didn't want An Rou to do something out of bounds. If nothing else, Cheng Juan would be disgusted. If he wanted to sit in this position then, it might be very difficult.
Tu Nan sighed inwardly. He has so much to worry about this day.
The location of the restaurant has been reserved in advance, and Fu Zicheng was absent due to business. There were originally four people, but An Rou was added, and the location had to be changed again.
"Sorry sir, there is no room for six people at the moment."
"Then what to do?"
Jiao Fan said: "Then I'll squeeze in and add a chair." Seeing his enthusiastic and courteous appearance, An Rou didn't say yes or no, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said thank you.
Gu You has been waiting in his seat for a long time.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the place where Ruan Jiujiu was, and couldn't help but smile when he saw a table full of hers. Recently, I always seem to be able to meet interesting girls, whether it's the one in front of me, or the tweets on the Internet... Thinking of this name and the challenge with Liszt, Gu You fell into a heavy mood again.
It's because he acted too impulsively, and the retribution now is what he deserves.
Jiacheng's boss gave him a chance to have a face-to-face interview, and he only hoped that there would be a chance to make amends.
Just as he was lowering his head and thinking, he saw a group of people gradually walking in his direction. Three men and one woman, all with good looks, the leader is Tu Nan, the big boss of Jiacheng, with a radiant look and a smile on his face, but Gu You's eyes fell on a figure behind him involuntarily, he was stunned, they are both men He had to admit that the other party looked good, but the other party seemed a little careless.
Cheng Juan's face was filled with boredom. He kept it in his pocket with one hand, thinking about what to eat later, but when he turned around, he saw a very, very familiar figure.
Cheng Juan: "..."
The woman sitting by the window must be in a good mood, with a smile on her face.
There were seven or eight plates of delicious food in front of her, a bottle of red wine was opened, and a red rose was placed in the center of the table, the flower was more delicate than a person. She was enjoying the seafood spaghetti slowly, and did not notice a death gaze a few meters away.
Cheng Juan watched helplessly as Ruan Jiujiu, who said he was "making a living", just sat in his seat and ate alone.
This is called making a living
He fell silent.
On the other side, Tu Nan and the others exchanged greetings with Gu You. When it was Cheng Juan's turn, he seemed to be in a daze, and Tu Nan hurriedly laughed: "Company employees like mind wandering, just get used to it."
Gu You was a little surprised, but it didn't show on the surface. They politely asked each other to sit down, and An Rou sat opposite Gu You very consciously. She counted very well: Cheng Juan definitely would not sit next to Gu You, he didn't like to sit with strangers, so Sure to sit next to her by comparison.
Tu Nan's eyelids twitched, thinking that Cheng Juan would sit directly on the extra chair, but unexpectedly, he ignored Gu You's surprised eyes all the way, and sat beside Gu You naturally.
other people:"… "
How strange! Did the boss take a fancy to Gu You? Or is he warning them not to talk nonsense with Gu You
For a moment, several people were a little confused, not sure what Cheng Juan meant.
They didn't know that Cheng Juan was sitting in this position, so he could easily see Ruan Jiujiu's movements just by raising his eyes.
Gu You: "Uh... that, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing nothing."
An Rou quickly said: "Then I'll sit on the chair, I'm here to make soy sauce, it's convenient for you to talk about things."
She moved to the chair very quickly, and she sat "beside Cheng Juan" indirectly.
At this time, several people are in such a position.
Tu Nan** Jiao Fan
——An Rou
Gu You*Cheng Juan
An Rou sat upright, as if deliberately highlighting her beautiful figure. She subtly noticed that Cheng Juan glanced in her direction, and then looked away, the girl's shyness in her heart leaked through her brows.
What An Rou didn't know was that her position happened to block Cheng Juan from watching Ruan Jiujiu, which annoyed him a bit. He simply leaned lazily on the backrest, picked up his phone and poked it a few times.
Hearing the beeping sound of the phone, Ruan Jiujiu wiped his mouth, picked up the phone, and it turned out to be a text message from Cheng Juan.
Cheng Juan: What did you eat, do you want me to bring you dinner
Looking at the phone, Ruan Jiujiu felt guilty and embarrassed, and neither swallowed nor vomited a piece of steak in his mouth: "..."
This is very embarrassing, Cheng Juan was thinking about bringing her something to eat, but she ate alone here, it seemed... a little outrageous.
But at this time, she couldn't tell what she was eating, so she could only continue to reply cheekily: "It's just some fruit salad or something. You can eat if you have nothing to do. I've lost weight recently, so I'm not hungry."
With a beep, Cheng Juan, who received the message, glanced at the phone, and glanced in the direction of Ruan Jiujiu from the corner of his eye.
lose weight? Not hungry? Of course she wasn't hungry anymore. She ordered pasta, steak, lava cake... a table full of high-calorie food, and drank half a bottle of red wine. It is estimated that I will have to eat enough today, and it will be a problem to go back.
At this moment, Ruan Jiujiu didn't have time to look up at others, so of course he didn't notice Cheng Juan's faint gaze.
She speeded up her meal, thinking of finishing her meal early and going home. The smell of the whole body has to be diffused so that Cheng Juan won't smell it.
"Old... uh, Lao Cheng, what do you eat?"
Seeing Cheng Juan's absent-minded appearance, Tu Nan almost blurted out the boss. He shut up very quickly and pushed the menu to Cheng Juan. Strange, the boss who only cares about eating, drinking and working on weekdays is not interested in food today? Tu Nan thinks this is a very serious problem.
But at this moment, he could only hold back his curiosity and wait for Cheng Juan to order.
Cheng Juan's slender fingertips tapped a few times, and it was clearly part of the big meal that Ruan Jiujiu ordered. His tired eyelids raised, and he glanced at Ruan Jiujiu's direction from the corner of the eye: What else is there
An Rou thought she was looking at her, so she rolled up her hair at the temples very femininely, and raised her arm to block Cheng Juan's view of a certain liar who was eating alone.
He turned his head impatiently and said, "Hurry up and talk."
It's too late, and the liar has to slip away.
Gu You's emotional perception is quite sensitive, and he immediately realized that this taciturn "Old Cheng" must have a high status.
He cheered himself up, sat up straight, lowered his posture and said in a gentle voice: "To be honest, I have always come to Jiacheng. I hope you can give me a chance. I believe that others can do it, and I will definitely do it." .”
Tu Nan had a good impression of Gu You, but the decision was in Cheng Juan's hands, and Cheng Juan didn't nod in agreement, so he could only practice Tai Chi carelessly.
"Mr. Gu, you had some unhappiness in the game of "Like a Dream Order" earlier, and it is not a good opportunity to join at present. We hope you will make some achievements."
Gu You's heart sank, and he said calmly on the surface, "I understand. I have already signed up for the club player selection competition organized by Jiacheng, and I will do my best."
Tu Nan was really satisfied.
He took a peek at Cheng Juan, hoping for Cheng Juan's advice. A good seed like Gu You has been observing for a long time, and has good abilities in all aspects. He will definitely leave his name in the e-sports circle in the future.
Tu Nan was taken aback suddenly.
Cheng Juan was looking in a certain direction absent-mindedly. He followed his gaze, but saw a very beautiful woman sitting alone at the table, gobbling it up at a fast speed. When Tu Nan looked over, she hit her. With a belch, he immediately blushed and tried to cover it up by drinking red wine.
What a lovely girl, Tu Nan was a little swayed. But he immediately realized—wait, no, the boss is staring at a woman he has never met
"What are you looking at?" Jiao Fan asked curiously.
As soon as the words came out, An Rou pursed her lips and smiled, as if a little shy: "It's okay."
Tu Nan: "?" Ms. An seemed a little pretentious.
Cheng Juan still had a fuzzy expression on his face, and Tu Nan held back his face, gritted his teeth for a while and said, "Then, let's eat first, and we'll talk after we're done."
Gu You breathed a sigh of relief, his facial expression was very stiff, and the unprecedented tension made him unable to control himself. He almost wanted to give a wry smile. A man in his twenties is still as stiff and cautious as a young man, no wonder they think he is inexperienced.
Food paired with red wine, the sour taste is brewing on the tip of the tongue, which will whet your appetite.
Among them, only Cheng Juan had the most plates in front of him, and their usual expressions made Gu You suppress the doubts in his heart.
Cheng Juan tasted a few mouthfuls, bowed his head and sent another message.
“The steak is not tender enough, the others are okay.”
Ruan Jiujiu, who was sitting diagonally opposite, heard the phone ringing, but when he clicked on it, he saw Cheng Juan sending such an endless message. She was a little puzzled and asked, "Are you eating Western food?"
Cheng Juan: "Yes."
"Which store? If it's delicious, we can go together next time."
Cheng Juan replied to the message very quickly, and the location displayed on it was the restaurant where Ruan Jiujiu was currently. She happened to be drinking red wine when she clicked on the message, and was suddenly frightened. The red wine choked into her trachea, and she covered her mouth and coughed desperately until tears came out.
Mom! Cheng Juan was in the same restaurant as her? !
The sound at Ruan Jiujiu's end attracted people at Tu Nan's table to look over. It just so happened that Ruan Jiujiu looked around secretly to find Cheng Juan, and then, in extreme embarrassment, instantly collided with a pair of slender eyes in the crowd.
With his hands folded over his shoulders, his eyes darkened, he tapped his phone a few times with one hand.
Ruan Jiujiu subconsciously looked at the phone.
Cheng Juan: "Are you happy eating alone?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "..."
Would have been very happy! Now! a little! Neither! hapiness!
With Ruan Jiujiu's appearance, he definitely surpassed An Rou by far. Even though she was coughing in embarrassment as she sat there, she couldn't hide her radiance. Tu Nan looked away, smiled and said, "A very beautiful lady."
Cheng Juan stared at Tu Nan quietly, his presence was so obvious that Tu Nan couldn't help but smile.
Cheng Juan asked, "Does it look good?"
Tu Nan nodded without thinking: "It looks good."
Cheng Juan: "Does it look good?"
Tu Nan, who has a strong desire to survive: "...Actually, that's it."
Tu Nan glanced at the boss, always feeling that something was wrong. From the moment he entered the door, the boss had been paying close attention to the strange woman. The appearance just now...was clearly a little unhappy.
Now, Tu Nan was really shocked.
Boss, boss, you can't do stupid things! You are a family man!
Tu Nan had figured out that Cheng Juan was divorced, and continued to live a lonely life living alone with instant noodles and keyboards, until he died of old age at home and no one found out. Too miserable, too miserable!
Cheng Juan's death stare made Ruan Jiujiu very embarrassed and restless.
Feeling guilty, she didn't plan to eat, and hurriedly called the waiter to pay the bill and leave.
The direction of the door was right at the table where Cheng Juan and the others were sitting. Ruan Jiujiu couldn't go around it. After struggling for a moment, he decided to pretend that nothing happened. Go in the direction of the gate.
It's near, it's near!
The seat that is about to pass Cheng Jun is facing the embrace of victory at the gate!
Ruan Jiujiu's steps were so excited that she didn't notice that Cheng Juan put down the knife and fork, and turned his head slowly: "Aren't you going back together?"
Under the stupefied and shocked gazes of the others, Ruan Jiujiu stopped in his footsteps.
She turned around slowly with great reluctance, met the surprised eyes of a group of people, and waved her hand awkwardly: "Hello."
Tu Nan had a premonition: "This is—"
The author has something to say: Cheng Juan, who was looking at a table of feasts, repeats: Make a living
Ruan Jiujiu, who was full of shame: I'm sorry! ! QQ
