Chapter 43
Huo Qingzhi raised his head upon hearing the sound, and was a little surprised to see Shen Yushu.
"Well, what a coincidence."
While talking, Shen Yushu had already walked to their table, only then did she notice that there was another person sitting opposite Song Yuran and Huo Qingzhi.
Originally, she just wanted to take a look, but the moment she saw that face and looked at each other, her body seemed to be frozen, and the blood all over her body froze in an instant.
The words were stuck in her throat, just looking into the other person's eyes, a slightly immature face appeared in Shen Yushu's mind, and a beam of light poured into her eyes.
"Yu Shu." Huo Qingzhi didn't see the undercurrent between the two of them, and introduced in a brazen way: "This is our old classmate, do you remember?"
"..." Shen Yushu forced a smile with difficulty, and seemed to be dumb when she spoke.
Her lips moved, and she called out the other person's name in a harsh voice: "Yi Qiao."
Compared to Shen Yushu's gaffe, Su Yiqiao looked much calmer. She smiled faintly, looked at Shen Yushu and said generously, "Long time no see."
There was a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Now their relationship was indeed a stranger, the most familiar stranger.
"Yu Shu, did you come to eat alone, or with your friends?" Huo Qingzhi paused, it was rare for old friends to reunite, so he said, "Do you want to eat with us?Not up."
Shen Yushu unconsciously tugged the fingers hanging by her side, quickly recovered her usual expression, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm bored eating alone."
Su Yiqiao: "..."
So, Shen Yushu sat down next to Su Yiqiao as a matter of course.
As soon as she sat down, Song Yuran who was opposite noticed that Su Yiqiao had consciously moved inside, as if hiding.
Um?Why do you feel that these two people are not right?Song Yuran, who was always rushing to the front line, thought so.
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became more harmonious, but even Song Yuran could see that Su Yiqiao and Shen Yushu seemed to be in harmony.
But she couldn't tell why, until the food was served, Song Yuran remembered the purpose of her trip, and worked hard to make a background board for the meal.
She couldn't intervene in the topic of recalling the past that the three of them were talking about, so it was more practical than filling their stomachs.
"Yi Qiao, I remember you like to eat braised pork ribs. The ribs made in this shop taste very good. You must try it." Shen Yushu said, and put a piece of ribs on Su Yiqiao with the chopsticks he hadn't eaten yet.bowl.
But the other party didn't appreciate it, smiled very politely, and said, "Thank you, I have lost weight recently, and I don't want to eat too much oil."
Afterwards, she picked up the rib and sent it to Huo Qingzhi's bowl: "Qingzhi, eat it, don't waste it."
"..." Huo Qingzhi looked down at the pork ribs in the bowl. It was obvious that Su Yiqiao's figure and weight loss were just nonsense.
But this piece of ribs was picked up by Shen Yushu for Su Yiqiao, and eating it by herself seemed... always felt that something was wrong.
So Huo Qingzhi picked up the rib and put it into Song Yuran's bowl.
"Let's give it to Yuran, she likes to eat ribs."
"Okay, thank you." Song Yuran, a professional cook, didn't even raise her head. Naturally, she didn't know the undercurrents between the three of them, so she ate happily when she had something to eat.
Shen Yushu didn't give up, and instead picked up a piece of iron plate potato, "Then eat a piece of potato, I must order this dish every time I come, and it's delicious."
"The potato starch content is too high." Su Yiqiao smiled apologetically, and then gave Huo Qingzhi the slice of potato, "Qingzhi is for you to eat."
"..." Huo Qingzhi was silent, bearing the pressure from the two people's eyes, he did the same thing, and gave Song Yuran the slice of potato again.
"Hey, thank you Mr. Huo, the ribs are delicious!"
After the last meal, Song Yuran didn't have a chance to add food at all. Every time he just finished eating, a new dish came to the bowl again, and in the end he couldn't eat anymore and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Huo Qingzhi stood up, and Song Yuran, who was sitting on the outside, also got up to make room for her.
When Huo Qingzhi passed by her, he secretly took Song Yuran's hand, and then walked straight to the bathroom as if nothing happened.
Song Yuran, who received the hint, quickly said, "Well, I'll go to the bathroom too!"
After finishing speaking, she followed closely in Huo Qingzhi's footsteps.
Only Shen Yushu and Su Yiqiao were left at the dinner table, without the other two as the atmosphere group, the atmosphere on the table became very silent.
"Yi Qiao." Shen Yushu turned her head to look at her, and said again: "Long time no see."
Su Yiqiao met her gaze calmly, "You said that just now."
The next sentence is... I miss you so much.
Shen Yushu pursed her lower lip and asked, "How have you been all these years?"
"very good."
"..."
Shen Yushu tightened her fingers unconsciously, and sadly found that there seemed to be no other topics between them except politeness.
"Mr. Huo." Song Yuran caught up with Huo Qingzhi and said, "Are you looking for me?"
Huo Qingzhi looked back, found a place to stand against the wall, looked at Song Yuran and asked, "Did you notice that the atmosphere between them is not right?"
"Are they?" Song Yuran thought for a while, "I feel that the atmosphere between them is weird, and I can't tell." She paused, and said, "Did they have a good relationship before?"
Huo Qingzhi recalled that during the time they got together, she first met Su Yiqiao, and then introduced Shen Yushu to Su Yiqiao.
Generally speaking, the relationship between her and Su Yiqiao would be better, but for some reason, the two got very close, and their relationship tended to be like girlfriends, so she didn't care.
Later, when Su Yiqiao returned from studying abroad, Shen Yushu was still depressed for a while, and she didn't know if the two of them had any contact after that.
But from the conversation when the two met again just now, it is obvious that they have not been in touch in the past few years.
"It might be embarrassing because we haven't seen each other for too long." Song Yuran said, "That's the case. You know each other very well before, but the relationship is unfamiliar after you haven't seen each other for a long time. When you meet again because you are not very familiar, you will feelEmbarrassing. It will become more obvious to someone who used to be more familiar."
Huo Qingzhi thought about it carefully, and it really made some sense, "Then how to resolve this embarrassment?"
"No solution." Song Yuran replied, "The only way is to get acquainted again. After all, you haven't seen each other for several years. Many things can happen in the past few years, and this gap cannot be filled with just a few words."
When the two returned to the dining table, Huo Qingzhi glanced at them indiscriminately, with nothing unusual on his expression as usual.
"By the way." Huo Qingzhi paused, then remembered and said, "Yiqiao was looking for a house recently, Yushu, didn't you say that you have friends who are going to travel far away and plan to rent out the empty house? Is the house still there?"?”
"It's still there, I just have the key, so I can check the house anytime." Shen Yushu looked at Su Yiqiao, "When do you have time?"
Su Yiqiao was silent for three seconds before saying, "I've made an appointment with a real estate agent in the past two days. After reading through the properties on hand, I can't talk about anything suitable."
The small financial expert immediately wanted to say that the middleman made the difference!But before she could speak, Shen Yushu replied "Yes", and she didn't say anything.
Shen Yushu then changed the subject and said, "What are you guys planning to do this weekend, why don't you make an appointment to go out and have fun."
When Song Yuran heard this, he immediately thought of his original plan, which was to bring the relationship between Huo Qingzhi and Shen Yushu closer!Such a good friend can't let that bitch usurp the throne.
Immediately said: "I made an appointment with Mr. Huo to watch the show on weekends, why don't Sister Yushu go with us." Song Yu suddenly paused, not ignoring the fourth person, and added: "Yi Qiao youDo you have time?"
Mr. Huo was not very happy at first, but after thinking about it, he simply used the weekend to get closer to the relationship between the two friends. Besides, Su Yiqiao returned to China and was unfamiliar with the place of life, so one more person would also take care of him.
So he lobbied Su Yiqiao to go with him, but the person concerned reluctantly agreed.
When the meal was almost done, the diners around all left one after another, and the meal came to an end as Huo Qingzhi got up to pay the bill.
After paying the bill and the group came out of the restaurant, Huo Qingzhi looked at the night, and saw that the cool night wind was blowing, and it was cold.
She turned her head and asked Su Yiqiao: "Yiqiao, where do you live, I'll take you back."
"I live far away, so don't send it off, to save you from going back and forth, I will take a taxi back by myself." Su Yiqiao declined.
Huo Qingzhi was worried that she would take a taxi alone at night, and wanted to say something more, so Shen Yushu said: "I also drove here, and you still have to send Yuran back. Running at both ends is too much trouble, so I will send Yiqiao back."
Huo Qingyi heard that this plan was feasible, and immediately agreed, so the two waved their hands and got into the car.
Only Shen Yushu and Su Yiqiao were left standing in the night.
Watching Huo Qingzhi's car drift away, Shen Yushu looked away, turned to look at Su Yiqiao and said, "My car is right in front, where do you live? I'll take you back."
"No need." Su Yiqiao refused very calmly, using the same rhetoric as before, "I live far away, and if I don't go along the way, I'll take a taxi myself."
If Huo Qingzhi's refusal was because he really didn't want to trouble the other party, then Su Yiqiao's current refusal meant that he didn't want to get involved with the other party.
After finishing speaking, she turned around and wanted to raise her hand to hail a taxi, but just as she raised her arm, Shen Yushu grabbed her wrist.
"Let go." The physical contact made Su Yiqiao's tone suddenly turn cold.
"Let me see you off, okay?" Shen Yushu asked again, "It's too late now, I'm worried about you being alone."
"Your worry is like a joke." Su Yiqiao said sarcastically, not knowing whether she was worried about her going home in the dark, or something else.
The atmosphere also suddenly froze because of Su Yiqiao's words, Shen Yushu's throat moved, and an unconcealable bitterness surged in his heart.
"Yu Shu." A voice broke the atmosphere between them, and Shen Yushu turned around to see her friend coming out of the restaurant.
"Didn't you say that you have something to go back?" The friend was surprised when he saw her, "Why are you still here?"
Shen Yushu smiled awkwardly, and replied vaguely: "There is indeed something, let's talk about it next time."
Saying that, she took Su Yiqiao's hand and walked towards the parking direction. Fortunately, the other party also took care of her and followed her along silently.
It wasn't until she got out of her friend's sight that Su Yiqiao broke free from her grasp.
At this time, Shen Yushu had already decided on her words, and she said, "Aren't you looking for a house? My friend's house is nearby, very close, go and have a look."
Su Yiqiao didn't speak.
"If you don't go now, you have to follow me next time. Why don't you watch it together this time?"
"..."
Song Yuran and Huo Qing at the other end got into the car.
The little secretary, who was full of food and drink, was in a good mood, and the carriage was very quiet. After thinking about it, she casually started a conversation.
"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence today. I can meet Sister Yushu while having a meal. Why do you think she came to the restaurant alone? Isn't she lonely?"
Huo Qingzhi glanced at her coolly through the rearview mirror, and said indifferently: "You seem to like Yushu very much."
It was the same in the restaurant just now, when Shen Yushu proposed to go out to play on the weekend, this person responded positively, for fear that he would change his mind later.
At this time, Song Yuran didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and thought that the "like" the other party said was just the literal meaning she understood.
He replied casually: "Ang, who doesn't like big sister?"
"..."
Afterwards, she clearly felt the atmosphere in the carriage drop suddenly, and for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.
In the airtight compartment, there seemed to be nothing but a colder smell than mint, which made her very concerned.
"?" Song Yuran peeked at the co-pilot through the rearview mirror, and saw that the other person's expression was the same as usual, but it seemed to be different. The beautiful red lips were tightly pursed at the moment, indicating that the owner's mood did not seem to be beautiful?
"Uh...Huo, Mr. Huo?" She called tentatively.
He heard the other party reply a single tone from the nasal cavity.
She bit the bullet and asked, "Are you angry?"
Huo Qingzhi replied blankly: "What do you think?"
This line has a sense of sight, and Song Yuran immediately thinks of the jokes he saw on the Internet. When his girlfriend is angry, he kills three consecutive times: Am I angry?I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm not angry.
If nothing happened at this time, then nothing will happen!
Although this joke only describes a girlfriend, Song Yuran thinks it applies to most women, including the fierce Mr. Huo in front of him.
Her brain was spinning fast, thinking about why she made Mr. Huo unhappy again, and it was hard to understand why she asked you to go to the secretary.
After the brainstorming, she came to the conclusion, combined with the context, that she just said that she likes the big sister's speech!
She asked cautiously, "Is it because sister Yushu was mentioned just now?"
"What do you think?" Huo Qingzhi continued the same sentence, his voice became a little colder.
It seems so right.
Song Yuran quickly said: "Well, when I said 'like' just now, it doesn't mean anything else, just a simple friend? Sisters? The kind of like between them doesn't have any personal feelings. Don't get me wrong."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Mr. Huo's frown became smoother, and she knew that her guess was correct.
Immediately added: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, Sister Yushu and I are innocent, and we will never touch your friends! Don't worry! Not messing with the boss's network is the self-cultivation of a qualified secretary!"
These words sounded fine, but Huo Qingzhi always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't explain the reason, so he finally choked himself enough.
"Song Yuran."
"ah?"
Huo Qingzhi held his breath, and asked calmly, "Do you know what it's like to like someone?"
"I don't know." Song Yuran replied in seconds. She looked at the vehicle in front of her and said, "I have never liked anyone. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Huo Qingzhi didn't answer her question, but asked, "Then what mood do you think it should be?"
Song Yuran thought about it seriously, "Should... be happy? Or happiness? Caring? Missing?"
"No." Huo Qingzhi said expressionlessly, "I want to whip her every day."
"It sounds like that person is cheap." Song Yuran asked curiously, "Boss Huo, do you have someone you like? Who is it?"
After asking, Song Yuran's curious expression froze. Damn it, Huo Qingzhi hooked up with the scumbag in the original book behind her back, right?!This love line also came too fast, right?!This is not acceptable!
Curiosity turned into shock, and she quickly said, "Mr. Huo, don't be fooled by lard. Listen to me, it's better to make money than love. Love will only be a stumbling block on your way to riches."
Huo Qing's face was almost darkened, and his heart sank at this moment. At this moment, Song Yuran added: "If you are really lonely in the middle of the night, you can call me, and I can accompany youYou chatter about fifty cents, but you must not be dazzled by love, just entrust yourself to the outside world, and how much money you want to send!"
"..." Huo Qingzhi couldn't help holding her forehead. For a moment, she really didn't know how to describe her mood, and the only words left were 'I can't laugh or cry'.
Song Yuran's babbling continued, and it was obvious that she was really worried that she would be unkind if she had no experience in love, and she was really straighter than her legs. In the end, she could only sigh in her heart.
"good."
"What I said is true." The other party was afraid that she was being perfunctory, and added: "Actually, you don't have to be in love to be able to do dating. I can also accompany you to eat, go shopping and watch movies. It's really unnecessary becauseFind someone to make do with loneliness, no need, really no need."
"Why do you care so much about me all of a sudden?" Huo Qingzhi asked.
After asking, an answer was born in heart, and laughed at self.
"It's because of the bonus again."
"no."
This time, Song Yuran gave the opposite answer.
"I don't know how to say it." She paused and said, "I just... I hope you can live a smooth life and not be wronged again."
Huo Qingzhi turned his head to look at Song Yuran, but his attention was focused on the front of the windshield, and he could still see his seriousness from the profile.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she stretched out her hand subconsciously, wanting to touch her face.
But the moment before the hand was about to fall, it instead stroked Song Yuran's hair.
The heavy atmosphere in the carriage gradually became warmer with Huo Qingzhi's gentle movements. Song Yuran, who was suddenly touched on the head, felt a little warm in his ears, and his heart speeded up a little unconsciously.
Waiting for the gap between the traffic lights, she turned to look at Huo Qingzhi and asked tentatively: "Mr. Huo, are you not angry?"
"Oh. It turns out that those words just now were just to coax me." Mr. Huo made a serious face.
"No, no." Song Yuran hurriedly waved his hands, fearing that he would be inexplicably offended again, "Whether you are coaxing or not, you are sincere."
But these words didn't seem to impress Huo Qingzhi, he still had a straight face, which made Song Yuran unconsciously anxious, and hurriedly wanted to explain, looking at a loss.
"Pfft." Huo Qingzhi couldn't hold back and laughed.
Song Yuran was stunned for a moment, and slowly stared at Huo Qingzhi's smile. That smile fell into her heart. For the first time, she felt that Huo Qingzhi's smile was really sweet, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously spread a little.radian.
"Don't forget what you promised me." Huo Qingzhi tapped the tip of her nose.
Song Yuran returned to his senses: "Huh?"
"Accompany me to eat, go shopping and watch movies." Huo Qingzhi paused, "Why, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
"No." Song Yuran blushed inexplicably, deliberately avoiding the other party's gaze, "I will accompany you."
The car behind her whistled to remind her to start, the car drove on the road at a constant speed, and the carriage returned to silence.
Song Yuran recalled the chaotic scene just now, and she said a lot of things she didn't know what she was talking about in order to keep Huo Qingzhi away from the scumbag. Thinking of the scene of eating, shopping and watching movies with Huo Qingzhi in the future, she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.
After being alone for a long time, who wouldn't want to have a companion?
That companion can be a lover or a friend, and the purpose is just to have someone to accompany her instead of being alone, just like Huo Qingzhi would choose her.
After completely relaxing, Song Yuran thought about the pheromones again. In the evening, he wanted to smell Huo Qingzhi's pheromones but was ruthlessly rejected.
Now... Now that Mr. Huo's anger has subsided, does it mean that he can let himself experiment?
But how can you smell the other party's pheromone naturally and without revealing your purpose?
Song Yuran brainstormed in his heart, and finally managed to think of a way.
The car slowly drove into the community, and as soon as it stopped in front of the unit, Song Yuran pulled up the handbrake, turned around and shouted to Huo Qingzhi who was about to take off his seat belt: "Wait!"
Huo Qingzhi stopped, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Wait a minute, don't move."
Song Yuran hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car, walked around to the passenger seat, and then opened the car door.
The whole process only took a few seconds, and Huo Qingzhi still maintained the posture just now.
nice!
Song Yuran bent her upper body and leaned into the carriage. The action seemed to be playing in slow motion. Her upper body was bent in front of Huo Qingzhi, and her face was so close that she could feel the other person's breath.
Staring at Huo Qingzhi's amber eyes at a close distance, it seemed that she was going to be sucked into the amber vortex. After staring at each other for a long time, a little embarrassment slowly arose in my heart.
Her expression became more unnatural, she lowered her head and said the prepared remarks: "There seems to be something wrong with the lock, I will help you unlock it."
Cover the unbuckle of the side seat belt with one hand, press it lightly, and with a 'click', the safety buckle will be undone.
Looking up again, he fell into Huo Qingzhi's eyes again, Song Yuran hurriedly looked away, this time there was more self-conscious embarrassment in his eyes: "Mmm...Okay."
After the trial, she wanted to straighten up and get out of the carriage, but just as she retreated a little, she suddenly heard the bell of a bicycle that was approaching them hurriedly and rapidly.
Dingling Dingling seemed to be sent out on purpose, the sudden change made people instinctively shrink their bodies into the carriage, for fear of being bumped if they took a step back.
The bicycle rode straight past the body, and the owner left a sentence when passing by them: "What kind of affection is showing in public, hetui!"
The owner of the car was done with the prank, afraid of being cut by them, he pedaled desperately and fled the scene quickly.
Song Yuran really wanted to catch up and beat him up, but... her current situation made her even worse.
Just now, her instinctive survival response made her shrink back into the car.
It stands to reason that the wide space in the carriage can accommodate half of her body.
But the terrible thing is... when she dodged, she didn't know the direction properly, and directly... threw herself into Huo Qingzhi's arms.
She has lived for 27 years, and the countless moments of death in her life may not compare to the current scene.
Why did she just bury her face in Huo Qingzhi's... arms.
"..."
"..."
