Lu Yao didn't see Ji Guanxin for almost three days and two nights. In the past, they were tired of being together every day and didn't think anything was wrong. But she didn't know until they were separated suddenly. Habits are really scary. She had been obsessed with him these past two days, always inadvertently neglecting the matter at hand, and her consciousness drifted to his side. Wondering what he was doing.
Ji Guan came in with a small white shopping bag in his hand. Looking at Lu Yao, he smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
The moment Lu Yao saw him. I had forgotten what happened before, but he mentioned it. She just took advantage of the situation and pouted, and replied aloud: "That's right. I sat there stupidly for four hours. Those who don't know better thought I was deliberately occupying the space and not paying the bill."
Ji Guanxin's expression remained unchanged as he walked to the other side of the table and said, "You mention me. I know the boss here."
Lu Yao said: "Is it easy to carry you wherever you go?"
Ji Guanxin sat down opposite Lu Yao. Looking back at her with a smile. He didn't answer but asked: "Where do you want to mention it?"
Lu Yao said: "Bank."
Ji Guanxin smiled: "If you don't have money, just ask me for it. There's no need to rob a bank."
He always had a smile on his face. But Lu Yao felt a little surprised because of her impression of Ji Guanxin. The two hadn't seen each other for such a long time. He should have come over and hugged her as soon as the waiter closed the door.
But looking at him, he didn't look like he was in a bad mood.
Thinking about it in her heart, Lu Yao looked at Ji Guanxin and asked, "Why did the meeting last so long? Is it something very important?"
"Yes." Ji Guanxin responded. He leaned back in his chair, looked at Lu Yao and said, "There is news. I'm not sure whether I should report it or not. I've been thinking about it too."
Lu Yao subconsciously asked: "What news?"
Ji Guanxin didn't answer immediately, and Lu Yao came to her senses and added: "You don't need to tell me, it's a business secret."
Ji Guanxin smiled and did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he asked aloud: "Are you hungry? Order something to eat."
Lu Yao was really hungry. Apart from eating a steamed bun for breakfast and drinking a box of soy milk, she hurried over without eating anything for lunch. Unexpectedly, she survived until dinner time. If she had known she would have rested her stomach before coming.
The waiter came in with two order books, and Ji Guanxin flipped through two pages and closed them. I ordered French spiced lamb chops, pan-fried foie gras, milk bread, egg soufflé, cream truffle soup, and dessert.
So Lu Yao only ordered one staple food, red wine beef pasta.
The waiter asked Ji Guanxin if he wanted a drink, and Ji Guanxin ordered another bottle of Bordeaux red wine.
The wine was served before the food. After the waiter left, only Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao were left in the private room.
Ji Guanxin looked at Lu Yao, with a nice curve on his lips, and asked aloud: "I took exams all day long the day before yesterday. Do you have so many exams to take?"
Lu Yao looked away, lowered her head to look at the dark red wine in the glass, and replied casually: "You don't go to school. Don't you know that students are under a lot of pressure nowadays?"
Ji Guanxin's face seemed to be wearing a delicate mask, allowing him to control every subtle expression just right. But Lu Yao didn't raise her eyes. If she raised her head and looked carefully, she would find that his eyes were cold.
Smiling, he continued to ask: "Tell me, what did you test all day long?"
Lu Yao felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Ji Guanxin's face, but he kept asking, so she had to bite the bullet, pretending not to care, and replied: "That's all, journalism theory, communication science, News gathering and writing, and English… ”
She listed the subjects she had studied in detail, always thinking that the clearer she said it, the more real it would be. The more and more carefully she said the clinker, the heavier and more painful Ji Guanxin's heart became.
Most people have masochistic tendencies, and Ji Guanxin is the best among them.
The evidence was already there, but he still went so far as to interrogate the prisoner himself. His original intention was to give her a chance to change her ways, but in fact, she gradually squandered the last bit of tolerance and trust he had.
He didn't know what kind of mood he was in, but he continued to ask, knowing that her answer was getting further and further away from his expectations, and hearing it again would only hurt her more. But he just wanted to continue to torture himself, as if he would not stop until he reached the limit of his endurance.
"After taking so many tests, weren't you exhausted the day before yesterday?" He smiled and looked at Lu Yao across the table, his eyes fixed on the expression on her face. He no longer cares what she replies, he just wants to remember her appearance and eyebrows as much as possible, because it is very likely that after today, he will never have the chance to see her again.
Lu Yao had been playing with the crystal goblet in her hand, looking like a curious baby, without looking at Ji Guanxin's face. In fact, she was very upset in her heart. In order to fulfill her previous lie, she now had to lie all the way to the end. She was really tired of this feeling, but she had to bite the bullet and respond to him.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted."
"I called you the night before yesterday, but you didn't answer."
"Well, Jiajia told me, but I was too asleep to hear."
"Where's the phone? I've been talking for so long and you didn't even hear me."
"Put down the bunk, I'll sleep to death."
"By the way, Jian Chengli's birthday was yesterday. Didn't you come back to help him celebrate?"
"Huh?" Lu Yao subconsciously raised her head and looked at Ji Guanxin opposite. But seeing that his expression was as usual, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Lu Yao braced herself and said, "I've never been back."
Ji Guanxin raised his eyes slightly, seeming a little surprised: "Jian Chengli's birthday | You are not coming back, are you having a conflict?"
Lu Yao was not good at lying, and because she had a ghost in her heart, her mind was full of images of Jian Chengli kissing her forcefully. She stared straight into Ji Guanxin's eyes and replied stiffly: "No, there is something to quarrel between me and him."
Ji Guanxin said: "I thought you brother and sister had such a good relationship, you would definitely come back to celebrate his birthday."
Lu Yao forced herself to smile, smiling naturally: "I have an exam at school, so I can't leave."
Lu Yao felt that there was an invisible pressure on her shoulders like a mountain of taiwan. She could hardly bear it anymore. He didn't want to talk about this topic with Ji Guanxin any more, because every time he asked her, her answers would lie to him. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
Suddenly thinking of what was in her bag, Lu Yao seemed to have found a savior. She quickly took out the gift box from her bag and handed it to Ji Guanxin with a smile: "That's for you."
Ji Guanxin asked: "What?"
"See for yourself."
Lu Yao handed the gift box across the table. Ji Guanxin reached out to take it, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he picked up the bag next to his seat and handed it to Lu Yao.
This time it was Lu Yao's turn to ask: "What?"
"See for yourself."
The two exchanged gifts. Lu Yao took the watch box out of the shopping bag and opened it. She saw an 18k white gold all-diamond women's watch. The shining silver one was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes away.
She secretly took a breath, then raised her eyes to look at Ji Guanxin opposite.
Ji Guanxin lowered his gaze slightly, thought for a while, and then opened the gift box she gave him. Inside was a string of pure black bracelets, only red coral for beads.
At this time, there was no smile on his face, and he was looking at the bracelet in a daze.
Lu Yao said: "Why did you give me such an expensive thing? It seems that my gift is very shabby."
Ji Guanxin didn't respond. In fact, he didn't move at all.
Lu Yao stared at his face and waited for a few seconds before saying half-jokingly: "What are you looking at? Do you think my gift is too hard to get?"
He must have heard her say that she wanted to give him a gift, so he also bought a gift for her. But this gift was too heavy, and Lu Yao was afraid that her hands would be heavy when she put it on.
She said two sentences in succession, and then Ji Guanxin on the other side reacted. I saw him taking the black bracelet out of the box with his left hand. While looking at it, he asked with a half-smile: "Why is it black?"
Lu Yao pondered the expression on his face that could not distinguish between joy and anger, and asked nervously: "Don't you like black?" She felt that black suited him very well.
Ji Guanxin's lips curled up in a mocking arc, and he replied: "I think you should give the green one."
Lu Yao saw Ji Guanxin's uncertainty, but did not immediately realize what she had done wrong, so she asked aloud: "Do you like green?"
Ji Guanxin raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Yao opposite him. Although the corners of his lips were raised, his expression was scary: "Is it useful if I say I don't like it?"
Lu Yao was frightened by the expression on his face. Just when she was silent, Ji Guanxin had reached the limit of her patience. I saw him suddenly stand up from the chair and throw the bracelet in his hand to the ground. The material of the bracelet was not fragile, but he couldn't help but throw it away in such an angry way. Immediately, there was a snapping sound, and Lu Yao's shoulders shook in fright, followed by Ji Guanxin's even more irritable voice: "Lu Yao , do you think I’m a fool?”
Lu Yao is a woman after all. No matter how calm she usually seems, she is timid after all. Besides, she had never seen Ji Guanxin like this before, as if he was trying to eat someone.
Sitting on the chair, she looked at Ji Guanxin timidly, unable to speak for a while.
Ji Guanxin's long eyes widened and he stared at Lu Yao fiercely. He had endured it for so long because he just wanted to wait until he was completely disappointed before he could leave resolutely.
After staring at her for more than five seconds, Ji Guanxin's chest was obviously rising and falling. He was so angry that he even clenched his fists.
Lu Yao was so frightened by his throwing and roaring that her mind went blank, but when he looked away, strode forward, and almost passed her, she instinctively reached out and grabbed his hand. Arm, whispered: "Ji Guanxin..."
Ji Guanxin was furious and swung Lu Yao so hard that he almost hit her on the table.
