"... I also know that I should respect your thoughts, but I couldn't control my impulse. I just want to help you out, no, no, it has nothing to do with you, it's my own. I'm sorry, I should have gotten your permission first."
During the entire narration, He Yunzhou across the table did not speak.
The more Huo Zheng spoke, the more guilty and flustered he felt, and his voice became lower and lower.
When he finished his last apology, there was only silence at the table.
Maybe it was a few seconds, maybe ten thousand years, Huo Zheng, who was suffering to the extreme in anxiety, heard He Yunzhou's soft sigh.
"I knew it… "
Huo Zheng felt that his heart was about to stop beating at that moment.
But immediately after, he heard He Yunzhou say to him in a strange voice: "Eat the bitter melon."
"ah?"
Huo Zheng was stunned.
He Yunzhou pushed the plate of fried eggs with bitter gourd and sauerkraut on the table in front of Huo Zheng.
Almost like 90% of children, Huo Zheng actually doesn't like bitter melon.
He Yunzhou probably also considered this point. There are very few bitter gourds on the plate, most of them are finely chopped sauerkraut and golden and tender fried eggs. After all, the light green bitter gourd is probably only a few chopsticks. These few chopsticks of bitter gourd made Huo Zheng involuntarily show a little fear.
However, after hesitating for a few seconds, Huo Zheng still followed He Yunzhou's request without hesitation, and put the bitter gourd into his mouth.
Then, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
I thought I would welcome the disgusting bitter taste, but the moment I chewed, there was only a slightly sour and delicious taste on the tip of the tongue.
In fact, it is precisely because he hates the bitter taste of bitter gourd that He Yunzhou added some extra processing to the bitter gourd when cooking this dish. The bitter gourd mixed in egg liquid and sauerkraut powder is not just cut into slices, what needs to be used is to use a peeler to peel the slices until they are as thin as a cicada's wings. Immediately afterwards, it is necessary to knead the bitter juice in the bitter gourd with salt. After these processes, it needs to be rinsed several times with clean water to remove the bitter taste to the greatest extent. Chopped sauerkraut is combined with the light bitterness of bitter gourd, filled with the oily aroma of eggs, this dish has no unpleasant taste at all, on the contrary, that little bit of bitterness even plays an appetizing role.
"Okay, I forgive you."
Watching Huo Zheng finish eating the bitter gourd one chopstick after another, He Yunzhou lowered his eyes and said softly with a smile that couldn't help it.
Huo Zheng couldn't move amidst that vague laughter. He stared blankly at He Yunzhou with picturesque eyebrows under the light, and found that at this moment, he would still be bumped like a deer because of that person, blushing and heart beating.
This state of brain confusion and dizziness lasted until I drank iced hawthorn water after meals.
The hawthorn water with some mint leaves added is cool, and it finally calms down the heat that is constantly surging in the body.
And it was just like this that Huo Zheng slowly remembered that he seemed to have mentioned to He Yunzhou before that he got a little angry because he stayed up late and worked overtime.
At that time, He Yunzhou seemed to have said by the way that eating some bitter melon would make you angry...
(Really, at that time, I obviously didn't tell him that I didn't like bitter melon...)
Huo Zheng stared at the water glass in his hand, and muttered in his heart.
He revealed his childish side in front of that person again, which should have made him feel flustered, but somehow... he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
Of course, at this moment, Huo Zheng, who was completely immersed in the bliss of being in love, did not know that someone on the other side of the city was falling into a very miserable state because of him.
Let's push back the time a little bit—to the moment when He Yunzhou saw Huo Zheng and turned off the phone.
In a presidential suite of the most exclusive five-star hotel in City A, Xiao Xi stiffly turned off the hands-free button on her cell phone.
"I think it may not be very convenient for him now?"
She said dryly and without confidence.
"...I called him this afternoon and told him about it. He also said that he will contact me again when he is free. "
The decoration in the presidential suite is very luxurious, the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of the top fragrance, the sofa is very comfortable, the fresh flowers that were put on the coffee table today are beautiful and charming, and in front of Xiaoxi, there is a It was impossible for her to part with the high-end desserts and black tea that she spent her own money to buy anyway.
Outside the windows of a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, there is an amazing night view of the city.
It can be said that everything that surrounds Xiaoxi now should make Xiaoxi feel very excited, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and desperately took pictures and sent them to Moments.
But the reality is that Xiaoxi is sitting upright on the sofa like a mummy, not to mention taking pictures, just looking at the undialed call on the phone screen, she feels like crying.
take a deep breath.
Then another deep breath.
Xiaoxi worked hard to cheer herself up for a long time before she mustered up the courage to raise her head and look at the man sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the French window.
If you just look at the appearance, that man seems to be that kind of gentle and refined type.
His facial features are very soft, with slender eyebrows and thin lips, paired with glasses, he always gives people the feeling of smiling.
In fact, when seeing him for the first time, Xiao Xi also thought that the other party would be just like his appearance, a kind and gentle gentleman.
However, in just a few hours of getting along, Xiaoxi already knew that her first impression of the other party was completely wrong!
What should I say about Li Fu... He obviously didn't do anything, but inexplicably exuded a terrifying aura that made people shudder involuntarily.
That is not an emotion that can be controlled by human reason at all, but a reminder from the physiological instinct of a mammal: this person is really dangerous!
Xiaoxi saw with her own eyes how the bureaucratic, hypocritical and slick president of the publishing house turned blue and trembling under Li Fu's seemingly calm words, and finally almost cried bitterly. Please let Lifu let go of his appearance.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to spend such a long time in psychological construction even talking to the other party...
"Li, Mr. Li Fu, in fact, I think... you can tell Brother Chuan the truth. If he knows that you are here in person, he will agree no matter what? In fact, there is no need to hide it from him..."
The more Xiaoxi talked, the more confused she became.
Yes, He Yunzhou thought that what Xiaoxi said was just gossip, but he didn't know that Xiaoxi had personally experienced the horror scene of how Li Fu mentally suppressed the audience.
Even the phone call she made to He Yunzhou in the afternoon was requested by Li Fu himself.
However, after Lifu did all this, he asked Xiaoxi not to tell He Yunzhou that he himself came to City A
For all this, Xiaoxi was puzzled.
"Because I haven't figured it out yet."
Li Fu looked deeply at the night view of the city through the glass.
And if Xiaoxi could be more careful, she would find that the direction Li Fu was looking at was exactly the direction where He Yunzhou's home was.
"decided?"
Xiaoxi's blank voice came from behind him.
Li Fu smiled where no one could see.
"I haven't figured out what identity to use to meet him."
Li Fu murmured softly.
The author has something to say: Li Fu: First of all, let me solve my problem of "the face of a villain boss at first glance".
