In this way, Qi Xi was taken out of the restaurant by Gu Yan.
As soon as Qi Xi left the restaurant, he breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, Gu Yan, where's your car?"
Gu Yan looked quite calm, he pursed his lips: "Stop farther away."
Qi Xi did not suspect him, after all, the parking spaces outside the Michelin restaurant were indeed full, so she just followed Gu Yan along the bustling street, the whole atmosphere in the Michelin restaurant did have an expensive feel to it, but Qi Xi didn't Standing on the bustling and ordinary street, I feel that I can really breathe freely.
However, Gu Yan's car seemed to be parked a little far away. Qi Xi walked all the way from the bustling Financial Street to the entrance of the alley, and Qi Xi finally heard Gu Yan's voice—
"arrive."
Qi Xi looked at the alley where there was no room for a car to pass through: "Huh? Where's the car?"
Then she watched Gu Yan calmly walk to the parking shed for electric bicycles, then took out the key, and calmly opened the lock of a bicycle.
Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi calmly: "Isn't the car right in front of your eyes?"
"..."
The whole is not wrong, it is indeed a car...
but…
Qi Xi was dumbfounded and said, "So you came here by bicycle?"
"Um."
But if you ride a bicycle, it takes fifteen minutes to get from the competition and cooperation office to this restaurant. How did Gu Yan get there in ten minutes
It may be riding very fast, after all, the legs are long...
Although Gu Yan's bicycle has a back seat, Qi Xi is still a little embarrassed to sit on it. She just received an email from Gu Xuehan asking her to urgently study the issue of the ratio of intangible assets to the shareholding. Yan walked over together.
As a result, Gu Yan frowned: "Get in the car."
"This is not very good... How about you push the car and I will walk back with you? It's just for digestion. I usually sit too much in the office. Walking more is good for my health."
It's a pity that Gu Yan didn't buy it, he just said concisely: "I'm in a hurry." Gu Yan pursed his lips, "There is still a contract to be changed."
Having said that, Qi Xi immediately felt guilty. If he hadn't asked Gu Yan to come and help him, he wouldn't have gone out in the middle of overtime work, and the contract might have been changed.
No wonder it only took ten minutes to rush here from the law firm! Isn't this to end early and go back to work!
Now Qi Xi didn't bother about being embarrassed, and jumped onto the back seat of Gu Yan's bicycle. Gu Yan didn't speak, but just started riding.
Even though he was wearing a suit, Gu Yan still had a very strong youthful aura about him, with a bit of a mature charm, but he didn't lose his green and clean boyish appearance. Therefore, the combination of a suit and a bicycle was not abrupt at all, even It's quite unique.
Regarding all of this, Qi Xi, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, was belatedly aware of it, but the frequent gazes of passers-by finally made her perceive this fact—Gu Yan is very handsome in the eyes of everyone, even if he is riding He is handsome with a bicycle.
only…
He was clearly in a hurry, and he was quite fast when he rode over just now, but on the way back, Gu Yan's speed was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow, so slow that Qi Xi couldn't help it—
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"kindness."
"But it only took you ten minutes to come here, and now it's been ten minutes, and we still have two-thirds of the way from the institute..."
In the end, facing his own doubts, Gu Yan was quite calm: "You were not in the back seat when I came."
The man added fearlessly: "Do you think you are light?"
... Gu Yan, are you polite
But I have to say, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle leisurely like this, looking at the radiant night of this city, watching the people walking by with smiles, and the night wind that occasionally brushes against the cheeks, and the The smell of fried chestnuts on the street and the music from the ice cream truck made Qi Xi feel relaxed and happy.
This is the ordinary and lively life she likes within reach.
Qi Xi suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart, and couldn't help saying sincerely: "Thank you, Gu Yan, thank you for coming here tonight to rescue me."
Qi Xi thought that Gu Yan would be too lazy to pay attention to him, but he didn't expect that Gu Yan would answer the conversation, but the content almost made Qi Xi mad—
"I didn't come to rescue you."
The man said confidently: "As a member of the team, if you fell in love not long after you started working, wouldn't my work pressure be even greater?"
Yes Yes Yes.
Qi Xi rolled his eyes, and was about to refute, when his father's call came.
Qi Ruiming probably heard about the follow-up of tonight's blind date, and his tone was a little angry: "Xixi, what's going on with you tonight? It's hard for a father like you to do."
Qi Xi was too lazy to argue, and just insisted: "I have a boyfriend, Dad, please don't introduce me to someone without authorization."
"What kind of background does your boyfriend's family have? Is it right with you? Mostly your classmates at school. Dad just advises you, you are still young, and school love cannot withstand the pressure of reality. You need to listen to your parents’ advice. The ones that your father will introduce to you must have been checked by your father. It’s fine if you don’t have a good eye for Li Chenxin. Now there is another client of my father’s, and my father is already working on it for him Their company has gone public in an auxiliary IPO, and his son Meng Kai is just three years older than you, next time you two have dinner together."
Qi Xi was a little annoyed: "Dad! I told you! I have a boyfriend!"
"I know, I know." Qi Ruiming is determined to save the country with curves, and his tone cannot be explained, "But it's okay for young people to know more friends? And you and your boyfriend will definitely be able to go to the end ? You know more outstanding young men, and you have a comparison, so you can find out that the boyfriends you made in your school are not very good."
"Father, I won't talk to you. I still have a situation. Anyway, it's okay if Li Chenxin doesn't have any eye contact today. You can meet Meng Kai tomorrow night."
The background sound behind Qi Ruiming was very noisy. As usual, he quickly hung up the phone after giving the order, leaving Qi Xi alone to get angry at the phone.
Because Qi Ruiming's voice was too loud, Gu Yan could hear the phone call clearly.
This made Qi Xi very embarrassed.
Gu Yan didn't say anything, he just continued to ride, but when he crossed a road and turned a corner, the man couldn't hold back after all, and his tone was quite eccentric—
"You have quite a lot of blind dates. You finish your work tonight, and you will be on it again tomorrow night. You will fail tomorrow night. Do you want to continue the day after tomorrow?"
It's no wonder that Gu Yan has objections. As a novice, Gu Xuehan often arranges work with Qi Xi and Gu Yan in pairs. Even if she doesn't take the initiative, but if she is forced to go on a blind date every night, Gu Yan must have something in her heart...
Qi Xi felt that he could fully understand Gu Yan.
"I don't want to go either, but that's my dad's client. If he doesn't go at all, it won't end well for him." Qi Xi had an idea while talking, and came up with a way, "Otherwise, I'll go tomorrow Shake it off, what about you, when I send you a message, you can call me halfway, so I can lie and say that I have something to go, in case I meet the one who is so entangled tonight again, you can come and pick me up? "
"Recently, I do have a lot of work at hand." Gu Yan seemed to have considered it carefully, and then he seemed to agree to Qi Xi's request reluctantly, "But I work very efficiently, so it's not a big problem to waste a little time .”
Gu Yan is actually quite up to the mark!
Qi Xi immediately said gratefully: "Tomorrow I will treat you to eat durian!"
Gu Yan didn't take credit, he rejected Qi Xi almost immediately: "No need."
The man quickly said: "You don't need to treat me to durian. There is no need to be so polite between classmates and colleagues."
That's great!
To be honest, a Musang King durian is not cheap. To prove it to Qi Ruiming, Qi Xi has stopped asking his family for money since he started working, but the salary of a trainee lawyer is not high. After deducting the rent, the remaining living expenses I was stuttering at first, if I don’t need to buy durians in the future, won’t I save a wave of expenses
It's just that before Qi Xi had time to be happy, Gu Yan continued to say—
"Bring me something else."
"ah?"
Gu Yan calmly said: "I have no money."
Qi Xi's eyes widened: "Didn't you just get paid a few days ago?!"
At this moment, he had already arrived at the downstairs of the competition and cooperation office. Gu Yan stopped the car, got out of the car, looked at Qi Xi, and said calmly, "I paid you the bill just now."
How could I forget this!
Qi Xi asked Gu Yan for the bill almost immediately, but when she took it over, she fainted—more than three thousand! The meal just now cost more than three thousand! Two Michelin stars are so expensive!
Qi Xi was almost heartbroken: "I knew I should have finished eating just now before leaving!"
Because he was in a hurry to leave the embarrassing scene just now, Qi Xi hardly moved his chopsticks, and there were still a lot of dishes left.
When Qi Xi thought of this, he looked at Gu Yan with grief and indignation: "It's so expensive, you shouldn't pay it! You are too honest, what if you pay and I refuse to pay you back?"
Gu Yan is bending over to lock the bicycle at the moment, so his voice is a little unreal: "If you don't pay it back, forget it."
At this moment, a gust of wind passed by, and the leaves of the camphor trees on the side of the road rustled. In this background sound, Gu Yan's cold and distant voice seemed to be smashed, and it sounded like it had a broken beauty—
"Then I will give up on you."
But just when Qi Xi was about to chase after the tone at the end of this sentence, the wind stopped, and the atmosphere that seemed to have a fragile feeling about Gu Yan just now was no longer there. Qi Xi heard Gu Yan continue to speak in a very normal tone The unfinished words just now—
"After seeing your character clearly, I can automatically draw a clear line with you, and I don't need to train any plastic colleagues to work."
I see!
"Don't worry, Gu Yan, I will be responsible for you to the end! I will definitely not pay this money at once for the time being, and I will pay in installments! Until then, I will take care of your meals!"
Nowadays, in order to save money, Qi Xi cooks dinner by himself most of the time. It is nothing more than cooking more food. The burden is not heavy. He can definitely invite Gu Yan to the house that he and Zhao Yiran share for dinner.
However, I once made a major mistake to Gu Yan. Although I see Gu Yan's mood is relatively stable now, what if something goes wrong and I report myself again
Qi Xi felt that he had to look through "Gu Yan Daquan" when he went home, and cook to cater to Gu Yan's taste!
