Seeing this message, the corners of Liu Man's mouth curled up unconsciously. She looked up and saw that everyone had almost left, so she got up and walked outside. Tang Tu, who had been waiting for her, also stood up, walked over to her and said,
"It's so late, let me take you back."
"Thank you, but no need, I have an appointment with a friend."
Liu Man didn't mean anything else, but Tang Tu's tone suddenly became tough, and he asked her,
"Is it with the veterinarian just now?"
Liu Man was stunned.
In the minds of their schoolmates, Tang Tu is a fairy-level figure. His appearance is coveted, his talent is unparalleled, and his nobility is also daunting.
But in front of Liu Man, he acted like an ordinary senior, he took good care of his junior, always greeted him with a smile, always spoke softly,
He had never spoken to her in such a weird tone.
Liu Man raised her head, looked at Tang Tu's flushed cheeks, and said worriedly,
"Are you drunk?"
Tang Tu quickly realized his gaffe, he regained his senses, smiled apologetically, and still looked like a nobleman, "I seem to be a little drunk, sorry."
After saying "sorry", he continued to say "sorry".
"Sorry, I could have had a drink for you just now."
Tang Tu has always been guilty and regretful. He shouldn't have given up protecting Liu Man because of Qiu Jing's obstruction.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I didn't drink a drop of wine in the end. To be honest, I'm still a little curious about the taste of wine," Liu Man smiled, completely taking Tang Tu's hesitation and retreat into his heart.
Seeing her smile, Tang Tu blamed himself even more.
If he had been a little braver at that time, stood up and protected her, he could ask her out now just like that veterinarian.
His cowardice makes him have no position to interfere with her now. Where she wants to go and whoever she wants to go with is her freedom.
"Then you alone must pay attention to safety."
Tang Tu's voice sounded very low.
Liu Man nodded.
"I went back to my room to rest." He pretended to press his temples to sober up with his hands, but actually covered up the pain in his eyes.
It turned out that truly liking a girl would make people so terrified and anxious that they couldn't maintain their original arrogance and self-control.
Tang Tu finally realized the feeling that Shen Mozhen loves him but can't.
Liu Man walked out of the restaurant, and everyone was waiting for the elevator outside. An ordinary-looking waiter walked up to her,
"Ms. Liu, please follow me."
Liu Man thought of the owner of the Panorama Hotel who was with Yu Zhan, so he followed the waiter without any doubt.
The attendant led her to turn two corridors, opened a door with a key, and there was an elevator inside, "You use this elevator."
The interior of this elevator is luxurious and brand new, with mirrored walls on all sides, exquisite dragon patterns carved on the handrails on three sides, and soft Persian pattern carpets under the feet, which is different from ordinary passenger elevators outside.
Liu Man can guess that this is the special elevator for the hotel owner.
The elevator reached the first floor from top to bottom, the door opened slowly, and Yu Zhan's smiling face slowly appeared in Liu Man's perspective, like an ancient knight waiting for the princess's arrival, Yu Zhan gave her a kind of waiting and greeting sense of ritual.
Liu Man smiled involuntarily, then thought of something, frowned and asked him,
"You come to Shanghai, what about Sunlight and Paul?"
Yu Zhan smiled helplessly, "It's not that I don't know how important sunlight is to you, do you think I will come here unprepared?"
"I've already fed Sunshine and Paul before I came, and prepared enough water for them both before I left. I'll fly back at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. The cat and dog will be hungry all night without any problem."
"Are you leaving tomorrow? In such a rush, in such a rush," Liu Man frowned even tighter, "In that case, why did you come to Shanghai?"
But Yu Zhan only looked at her and smiled. In his dark eyes, there seemed to be tiny and gentle stars twinkling. "On New Year's Eve, aren't you lonely? I'll accompany you, and I happen to be alone too."
Liu Man looked into his eyes stupidly, as if there was a deep black hole sucking her in, she escaped from the black hole in a panic, lowered her head in a panic, and only heard her own heart beating extremely fast Very loud.
She didn't understand at the moment, this was the feeling of heartbeat.
"Don't you still have friends? Where are you alone?" Liu Man lowered her head, her voice muffled.
Yu Zhan couldn't help laughing. He finally mustered up the courage to say a nasty sentence, but she didn't appreciate it. She even used the sentence analysis and found a loophole. Yu Zhan had to make up a white lie and said, "Their family called them back to celebrate the New Year. gone."
Not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer, but also to alleviate the dilemma of his failed love talk, Yu Zhan asked Liu Man seriously, "Have you had enough to eat tonight? Do you want to eat something else?"
Liu Man touched his stomach and said sincerely, "I am full. I drank a lot of sweet fruit juice, and now I really want to eat something salty."
There's no way, there are only appetizers on this occasion, and Liu Man doesn't like to eat, so he can only concentrate on drinking drinks.
"Then let's go eat barbecue. On the way I came, I saw a barbecue restaurant next to it that was still open."
On the night of the New Year's Eve, 99.9% of the shops and restaurants are closed. On this street, the restaurant of the Panorama Hotel is still open at this moment.
What Yu Zhan was talking about was a shop run by the Hui ethnic group, and it was not until the Spring Festival.
The small barbecue shop is located in the deep alley behind the Panorama Hotel. The facilities in the shop are very simple, with iron tables and chairs, peeling white walls, but everything is clean. When Liu Man and Yu Zhan came in, there was no customer in the shop. Only the boss and the proprietress.
The proprietress is a middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf. When she saw them, she enthusiastically handed them a piece of plasticized A4 paper, a small piece of white paper and a pen. This is their menu, kebabs, Grilled chicken wings, roast beef... are all skewered, and the price is very cheap.
Looking at these, Liu Man became hungry immediately. She said, "I want to eat mutton skewers, chicken wings, emmm, I also want to eat grilled fish, as well as grilled mushrooms and grilled leeks..."
There is no heating in the store, which is completely different from the warmth in the Panorama Hotel. Liu Man curled up, rubbed his hands, and let out a burst of heat.
While she was talking, Yu Zhan was writing on the paper, his hands were red from the cold, obviously the two of them were very cold, but their hearts were warm.
After finishing writing, Yu Zhan looked up and asked her, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"
Liu Man stared at him eagerly with big watery eyes, pure and innocent like sunlight, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I eat the same as you, and I wrote double copies of each."
"It turns out that you are not full. Sometimes expensive doesn't mean good, doesn't it?"
"Yes, life is ordinary, no matter how rich people are, they still have to live a life of necessities," Yu Zhan seemed to express his feelings.
