Five hours later, the high-speed train arrived at Chang'an Station.
Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun got out of the car directly, instead of immediately transferring to Zhongnan Mountain, they chose a Chinese restaurant in a quiet location, booked a window-side box, and looked at the busy traffic outside.
"Sister Ruirui, why don't we go directly to Zhongnan Mountain?"
Shi Chun ate snacks carelessly while looking at Ning Ruirui puzzledly: "Are you going to wait for your brother-in-law to come over?"
Ning Ruirui smiled at Shi Chun and said, "You don't have to wait for Xia Tian. Whenever he gets up, he will come over."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Shi Chun was a little curious, and suddenly he didn't know what to think. His eyes widened: "Sister Ruirui, are you actually cheating on me and are you here to meet your old lover?"
"You're fooling me, how can I find an old lover?"
Ning Ruirui was so angry that she hugged Shi Chun's head and dug hard with her fingers: "What are you learning from Xia Tian? Can you say something like a normal person?"
Shi Chun immediately begged for mercy: "Oh, it hurts. Sister Ruirui, I was wrong. Please let me go."
"Let you go first."
When Ning Ruirui saw someone walking towards them, she couldn't help but glared at Shi Chun fiercely, and then let go of her, "Don't say these bastard words in the future, do you hear me?"
"knew."
Shi Chun escaped and nodded obediently.
"I came here to meet an old friend, and I have some things I want to ask her."
Ning Ruirui lowered her voice and said to Shi Chun: "Just stay there for a while and just listen. Don't make any noise."
Shi Chun asked curiously: "Are your old friends male or female, what do they look like, and what do they do?"
"Is it you who wants to ask, or are you asking for Xia Tian?"
Ning Ruirui glanced at Shi Chun unkindly.
Shi Chun's eyes immediately glanced out the window: "Just asking casually."
Not long after, an elegant woman in her mid-thirties walked into the box with delicate steps, a kind smile on her face, and said: "Ruirui, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, we just arrived."
Ning Ruirui stepped forward to greet him.
"You are beautiful again."
The elegant woman stepped forward with a smile and took Ning Ruirui's hand, "I'm still a little embarrassed. We haven't contacted you for a few years and I invited you to dinner all of a sudden. I was afraid that you would say I was rude."
Ning Ruirui waved her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, please invite me to dinner. This is so rude. I can't even get happy."
"Hey, you can talk better than before."
The elegant woman smiled so much that her eyes curled up. When she got closer, she saw Shi Chun and couldn't help but smile: "Who is this pretty girl?"
"She is one of my younger sisters, named Shi Chun, and she came out to play with me."
Ning Ruirui introduced.
The elegant woman looked at Shi Chun and couldn't help but feel: "She is so beautiful, like a little fairy."
"This is Gao Yan, my former coach in the diving team. You can just call her Sister Gao or Sister Yan."
Ning Ruirui introduced Shi Chun casually.
Shi Chun smiled and greeted: "Sister Gao, hello."
"So good."
Gao Yan sat down next to Shi Chun, and then said to Ning Ruirui: "Have you ordered?"
"I ordered some, you can order whatever you want."
Ning Ruirui handed over the menu, "I've already ordered the dishes you usually eat, and they should be brought over soon."
"That's ok."
Gao Yan did not open the menu, but put it aside casually, "Sorry, I asked you to wait for me when I invited you to dinner. I'm really sorry, but something really delayed me."
"It doesn't matter."
Ning Ruirui smiled and shook her head, "I have wanted to treat Sister Yan to dinner for a long time. Just think of it as my treat today. It is my honor."
"Okay, I'm getting better and better at talking."
Gao Yan looked at Ning Ruirui with surprise on her face, "You have a boyfriend, right? Your emotional intelligence has become higher and your mouth has become sweeter."
"Okay, Sister Yan, please stop teasing me."
Ning Ruirui said seriously: "Sister Yan, you must have something important to do when you invite me to dinner."
Gao Yan couldn't help but laugh: "If I said I missed you, you wouldn't believe me, right?"
"I definitely don't believe it."
Ning Ruirui shook her head decisively, "It's completely inconsistent with your character, Sister Yan. You are not such a sentimental person, and you don't like to do such pretentious things."
"As expected, you know me well. I'm just afraid that you'd say I'm callous, so I haven't contacted you for so long."
As a former coach of the diving team, Gao Yan was always known for being strict and demanding. It was only after she retired that her character gradually softened.
Ning Ruirui has now experienced many ups and downs, and has learned to be restrained. She is no longer as straightforward as before: "Sister Yan, you are too polite.
Our friendship is extraordinary, there is no need to say this.
If you have anything to do, it’s okay to just say it.”
No matter how close the relationship was before, after many years of no contact, we suddenly got in touch with each other on a familiar basis. In fact, there are only two reasons, one is to borrow money, and the other is to ask for something.
However, Ning Ruirui also knew that Gao Yan's reason for looking for her could not be the above two reasons, so she couldn't hold back her curiosity and came over to see her.
As expected, Shi Chun listened obediently and filled their cups with tea from time to time.
"That's right, there's something I want to ask you to confirm."
Gao Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to say it directly: "It's Qian Minmin, do you remember?"
"Qian Minmin?"
Ning Ruirui was stunned for two or three seconds, and then her eyes became a little strange.
Gao Yan thought Ning Ruirui didn't remember, so she reminded: "Back then, she came to the diving team two or three years before you. At the beginning, she was also a focus on cultivating champion seedlings. However, her temper and emotional intelligence were too low. She was often late for training and returned
You were drugged and later fired."
"I remembered."
Ning Ruirui actually remembered it very clearly, because she and Xia Tian met this woman in the secret place under the sea a few months ago, but this woman should have died at the bottom of the sea. "Sister Yan, why did you suddenly mention her?"
"Because she came to see me a few days ago."
Gao Yan had a slightly confused look on her face, "You also asked me about you in detail. I felt something was wrong with her condition at the time, so I didn't say anything to her.
I asked about it later and she was looking for someone to ask about you."
When Ning Ruirui heard this, she couldn't help showing a black question mark face: "Sister Yan, you have mistakenly admitted the wrong person, right?"
"It's impossible, it can't be wrong."
Gao Yan said seriously: "With her, there are two bodyguards in black clothes. Oh, and there is a strange monkey on her shoulder."
"Are you serious?
Wait, monkey?"
Ning Ruirui was shocked. She recalled in her mind the scene when she and Xia Tian met Qian Minmin in the secret place under the sea. Strictly speaking, she and Xia Tian did not see Qian Minmin's death with their own eyes. They only saw her being killed by that monkey-like figure.
Yuan Wenyan was thrown into the river.
Could it be that they are all still alive, but the underwater secret realm exploded directly at that time, so there is no reason for them to survive.
"I don't know why she asked about you, but I feel a little uneasy."
Gao Yan lowered her voice subconsciously, "So I want to remind you that you'd better pay more attention during this period."
"I understand, thank you Sister Yan for reminding me."
Ning Ruirui couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but after being with Xia Tian for a long time, she really learned his ability to remain calm despite the collapse of a mountain.
In the following time, the two never talked about this matter again. Instead, they talked about some interesting stories from their past days in the diving team. It can be said that they had a great time talking.
After finishing the meal, Gao Yan said goodbye and left directly.
Ning Ruirui didn't hold back, because she was still thinking about things in the secret realm under the sea, and she vaguely felt as if another conspiracy was surrounding her, oh no, to be precise, it should be surrounding Xia Tian.
"Sister Ruirui?"
After walking out of the restaurant, Shi Chun suddenly called Ning Ruirui.
Ning Ruirui woke up from her thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Chun smiled and asked: "What brand of car do you like to ride in?"
"kindness?"
Ning Ruirui didn't know what Shi Chun meant by asking.
Shi Chun raised his finger and pointed in front: "There are three waves of people outside, and three different cars have been prepared. I guess they will let us make a choice as soon as we leave the restaurant."
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but look outside the restaurant, and sure enough she saw several distinct groups of people. They didn't seem to be accomplices, but they were all staring at the door of the restaurant.
"Of course I'll choose an expensive one to sit on."
At this time, a lazily voice rang out, "It's more expensive and more comfortable. I also want to sleep in the car for a while."
When Shi Chun heard this voice, he suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, brother-in-law, you are finally here."
"It's been here a long time ago."
Xia Tian yawned, "I've seen you talking nonsense there for a long time."
Shi Chun wrinkled his nose and said dissatisfied: "You were here early, so why didn't you show up and make us worry about you?"
"Worry about me, pure girl, you are not mistaken."
Xia Tian said dissatisfiedly.
"No."
Shi Chun said seriously: "I'm worried that you will be squeezed dry by Sister Yiren. After all, you are not young anymore. You should save your money. There are still shares in my future."
"Young girl, you're looking for a beating, right?"
How could Xia Tian not hear it? This girl was just trying to say that he was suffering from kidney deficiency.
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble."
Ning Ruirui was a little speechless. The two of them would quarrel whenever they met, often delaying business. "Let's think about how to deal with the situation outside."
Xia Tian said disapprovingly: "What's there to think about? I've said it before, whoever's car is the most expensive will ride in it."
"You're not afraid of traps."
Ning Ruirui asked rhetorically.
Xia Tian said with a smile: "I'm just afraid there is no trap."
"All right."
Ning Ruirui remembered that Xia Tian was not only a troublemaker, but also a fighting maniac who was afraid of chaos in the world. "Then what are you thinking about? Let's go."
So, the three of them walked out of the restaurant door together.
When the waves of people saw the three of them, they immediately rushed over and blocked them.
"Miss Ning, my master asks you to come with us."
"Miss Ning, our boss invites you!"
"Miss Ning, please get in the car!"
Each of these people was more rude than the other. Judging from the bulging bags in their arms, you knew without guessing that they must be armed. It seemed that no one could refuse.
