    Chapter 227 Did you add someone else?

    Qin Ye spent most of his time in the dance studio except when he was rushing to perform at a business performance.The next afternoon, he borrowed Wu Sen's car, slipped away a few hours early, and drove to the downstairs of Josnian's house to wait.

    The greening around this residential area is very good and lush, and the air is fresher than elsewhere.The temperature in the afternoon was neither cold nor hot, and there was an occasional cool breeze, which was quite comfortable.

    Josnian postponed today's meeting.He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night, so he could only squint for a while in the morning.At 4:30 in the afternoon, I received Qin Ye’s message on time:

    "I'm here, downstairs at your house."

    Josnian had been sitting on the sofa in a daze all morning. When he saw the news, he immediately got up and went downstairs, forgetting to even take his coat.

    The nanny at home was washing vegetables and preparing to cook. Seeing Josnian hurried out, she leaned from the kitchen and asked, "Mr. Qiao, aren't you at home for dinner today?"

    Josnian paused when he heard this, and then responded and said, "I have something to do. I won't be eating at home today. You can just cook your own meal."

    The nanny nodded and said nothing more.

    Josnian walked out of the residential area and saw Qin Ye waiting for him where he was yesterday.The other party was half leaning against the car door, still dressed in casual clothes, lowering his head and fiddling with his mobile phone.Even if you just stand quietly, you will silently attract the attention of passers-by.

    Josnian walked up to him. When he was a few meters away, Qin Ye raised his head as if feeling something. When he saw him, he smiled: "You came out so fast. I thought I had to wait for a while."

    Josnian smiled and said, "If someone invites you to eat for free, of course you have to be quick."

    He didn't look as nervous as yesterday, at least he didn't blush when he saw Qin Ye.

    Qin Ye opened the passenger door for him and said jokingly: "Let's talk about it first, I can't afford it if it's too expensive, otherwise I'll have to keep you there washing dishes."

    He is willing to do his best within his capabilities, but he will not pretend to be rich and pretend to be rich if he has no money, and his eyes are open and honest.

    Josnian couldn't help but admire Qin Ye even more. He sat in the car and looked like he was quite easy to feed when he spoke: "You can eat anything, including steamed buns."

    Even if Qin Ye took him squatting and eating steamed buns on the roadside, Josnian probably wouldn't be angry.

    "Really?" Qin Ye held up the car window, his eyes falling on Josnian's handsome features: "Is it okay to eat for a day?"

    Josnian felt warmed by his sight and nodded: "Okay..."

    Qin Ye asked again: "What about eating it for a lifetime?"

    Josnian nodded subconsciously: "Okay...?"

    He seemed to realize something was wrong, and looked at Qin Ye with some surprise, but the latter had already walked around to the other side, sat down, and started the car.

    Qin Yezi was still stupid no matter what. He put his hand to his lips and asked with a smile: "Can you eat spicy food?"

    Josnian usually eats light food to maintain his health, but occasionally he can eat one or two spicy meals: "I don't have any taboos, you can decide."

    Qin Ye said: "That's good. It's too pitiful to just eat steamed buns. I'll put some chili sauce in them for you to make it better. There's no other way. I've been cutting costs recently, so I can save as much as I can."

    What he said sounded like the truth. Josnian was not sure whether he was telling the truth or a lie.They could only sit in their seats and begin to be alone with each other in a real sense.

    Qin Ye drove to a nearby commercial district. It was quite lively with people coming and going at night.He parked the car at the marked spot and said to Josnian: "There is a hot pot restaurant here, which is quite famous, and there is also a Western restaurant, which tastes good. Which one do you want to go to?"

    Josnian didn't know why, but a smile quietly slipped through his eyes, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the lenses: "Then let's have hot pot."

    Qin Ye just asked him if he could eat spicy food, so he probably prefers hot pot.

    Qin Ye snapped his fingers: "I think so too."

    He and Josnian got out of the car and walked to the hot pot restaurant.There were people coming and going on the street and it seemed a bit crowded.Josnian usually has a driver when he goes out and rarely walks in such a downtown area. He tries to avoid crowds and seems a little uncomfortable.

    Upon seeing this, Qin Ye took his hand and pulled him to his side with a little force. Then he turned sideways to block the crowd of people for Josnian. His voice was low and steady: "Don't get lost."

    Josnian felt the strength and temperature of Qin Ye's fingertips and nodded slowly: "Okay."

    Qin Ye grew up in the countryside and was used to climbing mountains and running around like crazy.He had never been in contact with a bookish person like Josnian.Now that I have been in contact with him, I just feel that the other person is gentle and obedient, and occasionally clumsy, making people want to bully and protect him at the same time.

    It’s so contradictory and so strange…

    The thoughts that had been quiet all night became uncontrollably restless again, and were finally suppressed for a short time.

    The hot pot restaurant Qin Ye chose was indeed very popular. There was a long queue at the door, and many people were waiting outside with their number plates. It looked quite lively.Josnian did a rough count and found that there were at least thirty people standing outside. He subconsciously said to Qin Ye, "Let's also go to the waiter to get the number plate."

    They were like an ordinary couple, standing hand in hand naturally in the crowd.

    But Qin Ye pulled him directly to the door: "You can make reservations in advance for this store. I reserved a seat yesterday, so just go in."

    He knew that this store was full every night, so how could he not be prepared.If Josnian were to wait outside with him for several hours, the clay figure would starve to death.

    This is an unexpected surprise.Even though Qin Ye's treat was not a high-end restaurant, the details made people feel full of heart and sincerity.Every detail was taken care of.

    Josnian's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.It's just that people who have been single for many years really don't know anything about chasing people, and his calm and rigorous character does not allow him to attack rashly, so he can only lie dormant quietly for the time being and gradually test things out.

    They found a table under the guidance of the waiter.The air is filled with the spicy smell of hot pot. Compared with a quiet and elegant Western restaurant, this environment can obviously bring us closer together.

    Qin Ye ordered a mandarin duck hot pot, then handed the menu to Josnian and asked him to order first: "Eat whatever you want, don't be polite to me, if you can't pay the bill, we'll stay here together and wash the dishes for the boss."

    Hearing this, Josnian smiled and ordered a few dishes. He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat next to Qin Ye: "What do you think is more delicious in their restaurant? Please recommend some."

    He wanted to know Qin Ye's taste.

    Qin Ye is actually not picky about food. He thought about it for a moment after hearing this, then used a pencil to make a few ticks on the menu, circling the dishes he thought were more delicious, and finally ticked the sour plum soup: "Their sour plum soup is freshly made and tastes good., you can try it.”

    Josnian read it over, took it to heart, and asked the waiter to place his order.When he turned around, he saw Qin Ye looking at him with a half-smile, and asked slowly and doubtfully: "...What's wrong?"

    "Not really," Qin Ye's smile deepened and he gestured to the two of them, "This is my first time eating hot pot with someone like this."

    Josnian reacted, but didn't care much. Instead, he smiled and said, "There is always a first time for everything. Do you want to give it a try?"

    The two of them were close together, shoulder to shoulder, leg to leg.A small inadvertent movement can cause a collision.

    Qin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and was about to agree, but saw that Josnian had quietly stood up and sat across from him. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull him, but his fingertips only touched the edge of his sleeve.

    Josnian sat down opposite. His eyes hidden behind his lenses were a bit shrewd and the smile on his lips remained unchanged: "I suddenly felt that it would be better to sit like this, otherwise it would be a bit strange to see the opposite side empty."

    Qin Ye unconsciously rubbed his empty fingertips and nodded: "That's okay."

    The food was served quickly.Qin Ye got up and prepared two bowls of sauce. The taste was outstanding. There was no other secret. Just add a spoonful of everything on the condiment table.

    The hot pot was steaming, and Josnian was wearing glasses, which inevitably blocked his vision.He could only take off his glasses, wrap them in a tissue and put them aside, picking up vegetables and cooking things with half-squinted eyes.The dark pupils looked a bit hazy because it was difficult to focus.

    Qin Ye rinsed a piece of fat beef with chopsticks, put it in his bowl, and asked with interest: "Hey, can you see me clearly?"

    Josnian ate the food he brought over, then looked up at Qin Ye, squinted his eyes, made a rough estimate and said, "I can see clearly."

    He measured the distance, which happened to be the distance between the two of them, and said slowly: "But I can only see you clearly, but I can't see anything else clearly."

    After Josnian finished speaking, he clearly saw Qin Ye smile, but the other party didn't say anything, he just brought him another pile of vegetables.Lest Josnian, who is short-sighted, mistakenly put the chili pepper into the bowl again.

    Finally, when the food was almost finished, Qin Ye raised his chin and asked him: "Is it delicious?"

    Josnian nodded. This meal was more humane than he expected: "It's delicious."

    Upon seeing this, Qin Ye got up and went to pay the bill, which cost exactly two hundred and five hundred and fifty.He shook the receipt, smiled, and said to Josnian, "I have to treat you to nine more meals to make up for the sushi meal from last time."

    Josnian didn't expect that he would still remember this, and he guessed that Qin Ye didn't want to take advantage of Bai.Walk out of the hot pot restaurant with him: "Then, do you think I can eat the remaining nine meals?"

    Qin Ye faced him, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly backwards: "I feel very hopeful."

    After he finished speaking, he found a drink shop nearby and went over to buy two glasses of grape-lime juice.A cup with less ice and a cup at room temperature. The light green juice is very transparent and beautiful against the transparent wall of the cup.

    Qin Ye handed the room temperature cup to Josnian: "Drink this."

    Josnian noticed the difference and shook the cup: "Why isn't it iced?"

    Qin Ye simply felt that eating hot pot and drinking cold drinks was not good for his stomach, especially since Josnian didn't look very strong.He inserted the straw into the cup and handed him his drink: "Drinking cold is not good for your stomach. If you really want to drink ice, let me lend you my drink and take a few sips."

    Josnian said nothing and glanced at him, but saw that Qin Ye looked serious and didn't seem to be joking.He raised his hand to hold the cup, leaned over and took a slow sip. The juice was cold, and his tongue was filled with the cool and sweet taste of grapes.

    Josnian raised his eyes, looked at Qin Ye and said seriously: "This is delicious too."

    The hotpot is delicious and so are the drinks.

    Qin Ye didn't say anything. He smiled and shook the cup, making a slight sound when the ice cubes collided.He also took two sips of the juice, biting the straw along the way: "That's right, I never cheat anyone when I treat guests."

    Josnian stared at the straw, wondering what he was thinking. He pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.A gust of evening wind blew by, blowing his neat hair a little messy, and the corners of his clothes also lifted up.

    There are not many people at this time.Qin Ye took Josnian for a short walk around the area before driving him home.

    Josnian sat in the driver's seat and wanted to fasten his seat belt out of habit, but he remembered something and retracted his hand without leaving a trace.When Qin Ye was about to start the car, he caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye and leaned over.

    Qin Ye fastened his seat belt, and his breath when he spoke sprayed on his neck, making it tingling. He whispered: "Remember to wear your seat belt next time, otherwise you will be in danger."

    Josnian looked at him without moving, and nodded obediently: "Okay."

    When Qin Ye heard his voice, his heart felt slightly itchy as if he was aroused by something.He stared at Josnian's side face, and for a moment he couldn't help but want to get closer to him. Finally, he tightened his fingertips slightly and straightened up.

    For the second half of the journey, neither of them spoke.

    Josnian sat in the passenger seat and drank his glass of room-temperature juice quietly.Qin Ye put the ice drink aside. As time passed, the ice cubes gradually melted and finally returned to normal temperature.

    Josnian shook his empty cup and thought of something, so he took the initiative and said, "By the way, I have already contacted the local hospital and beds. When you have time, just send Auntie here."

    Qin Ye obviously didn't expect Josnian to be so efficient. He glanced at him in surprise, then realized and nodded subconsciously: "Uh... ok."

    Josnian asked again, "Is it convenient tomorrow?"

    Qin Ye calmed down and said, "Okay, I will contact you tomorrow."

    Hospitals and beds here are obviously not that easy to find. One day in the intensive care unit is equivalent to half a month's salary of an ordinary person. Networking and financial resources are indispensable.Josnian obviously took it seriously, otherwise it wouldn't have been done so quickly.

    Qin Ye's head felt slightly warm. While waiting for the green light, he looked at Josnian and said two words seriously: "Thank you..."

    Josnian shook his head slightly: "It should be."

    After saying that, he said seriously: "I'm waiting for your nine meals."

    Qin Zhiye thought not to mention nine meals, but nine hundred meals would do. At the same time, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It would be a shame if you didn't take the opportunity to blackmail me for something. How about just sending you away after nine meals?"

    Josnian squeezed the empty cup in his hand: "Then what do you think I should blackmail you with that would be more cost-effective?"

    Josnian is a businessman, and he has never done a loss-making business in his life.

    After hearing this, Qin Ye was about to speak when he suddenly heard his phone vibrate. He opened it and looked at it, only to find that Wu Sen had sent him a message, angrily asking him why he didn't pass the group training leader's friend application.

    Some time ago, the company intentionally selected a few trainees to form a group to debut. Qin Ye was selected, and the senior management assigned someone to train them.

    Qin Ye recently received dozens of friend requests. He didn't have time to read them carefully, so he might have missed the message from the person in charge.He had no choice but to turn on his phone, search through a pile of friend requests for the account number of the person in charge of the company, and then click to approve.

    After doing all this, he threw the phone aside and continued the topic: "It can be blackmail or anything. You want me to go to your house and shovel poop for the little fat cat."

    The phone screen was still on the previous page, showing that he had just approved someone's friend application.

    Josnian glanced over inadvertently and happened to see the screen of his mobile phone. His fingertips tightened slightly and he subconsciously looked at Qin Ye, a little surprised: "You..."

    Seeing him hesitating, Qin Ye was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

    Josnian unconsciously squeezed the cup in his hand and paused for a second before asking, "Did you... just join the group?"

    He thought Qin Ye had approved the friend applications of some members in the group.

    Qin Ye was stunned for a second before he realized what he was asking. He was about to explain that it was the account number of the person in charge of the company, but he suddenly stopped talking when he remembered something.He slowed down unconsciously and subconsciously observed Josnian's mood: "Well... what will happen if I add you?"

    Josnian paused slightly when he heard this, and then said slowly: "...It's nothing, I'm just a little curious, because you don't usually pass the friend verification."

    The smile on his lips looked a little forced.

    The author has something to say: Josnian: QAQ liar, you promised to only add me!
