The restaurant Gong Ziyu ordered is located by Qin Lake. It is a Western restaurant with quite an atmosphere.
Lu Beicen drove around the lake, going around and around the lake. The city of Huxia has not much else but a lot of lakes. There are big lakes connected with small lakes in the city. Qin Lake is behind W University, far away from where she lives.
The community meeting lasted about half an hour. There was a meeting in the afternoon. According to Mr. Tang’s instructions, I invited a law professor at W University Law School to be interviewed. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was just half past six.
Gong Ziyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Beicen arriving as promised, with no makeup on his face, wearing a very ordinary shirt and trousers, with his long hair tied into a ponytail behind his back, and some broken hair scattered in front of his forehead, giving him a Cinderella-like feeling.
: "I heard that TV station directors have a hard time, you..."
Lu Beicen did not hide it. He took a sip of water before saying: "Well, it is quite hard. It is probably the most equal profession in the world. Men and women are treated like cattle. Do you want to ask me why I chose this profession? Or do you want to ask?
What?"
"I don't think you need it!" Gong Ziyu said simply.
Lu Beicen didn't want to discuss his choice and the necessity of work with Gong Ziyu, so he smiled and said, "Have you ordered food? I'm a little hungry."
Gong Ziyu shook his head: "Not yet, I don't know what you like to eat."
Lu Beicen pressed the service bell and said with a smile: "When you are hungry, everything tastes delicious."
Gong Ziyu smiled and nodded: "That's true, but in your situation, there is really no need to do such a hard job. Just to experience life, you can also find other industries to experience it."
The waiter happened to come over. Lu Beicen smiled nonchalantly, ordered a set meal casually, and then handed the menu to Gong Ziyu. She didn't like eating Western food anyway. No matter how delicious it was, she never felt full, so she filled it out.
Just the belly.
Gong Ziyu picked and ordered a good meal. Lu Beicen had already sipped and finished the glass of lemonade in front of him. He took a look at the restaurant. It was quite big. Although it was surrounded by nine twists and turns, there were many booths.
They are all spacious, and the wooden partitions are covered with gauze, which not only ensures privacy but also adds some mystery...
Gong Ziyu watched Lu Beicen put down the empty water glass and smiled thoughtfully. This girl was completely different from the first time they met. He actually remembered it very clearly. Last time at the dinner table, she acted very
Silent, barely speaking during the whole process.
Gong Ziyu knew what his parents and uncle meant before that meal, but he really didn't like such a girl. Although she was pretty and had a good temperament, no matter how she looked at her, she made people feel alienated.
Moreover, she talks too little and has a cold personality. She is definitely not the kind of charming little bird he likes. She will circle around him, look up to him, and center on him.
For such a girl, even if her family has a huge business, and even if she has no intention of entering the family business, she will not be able to let him occupy a high position in Lu's company instead of her. Gong Ziyu is very clear-headed. If he has to sacrifice his own preferences,
There should always be something that matches it, or even more. In fact, he has never lacked suitors, and he is full of confidence in himself.
Lu Beicen looks much more capable today. I don't know if he is pretending to be an ordinary person too much. He looks like an ordinary working class.
Despite his lack of interest, Gong Ziyu still randomly found a topic: "Is your brother still in China? When are you going to go back and continue your studies?"
Lu Beicen pursed his lips: "I'm not sure, he didn't say."
"I think you have a very good relationship. Why hasn't he even talked to you about such things?" Gong Ziyu was a little surprised.
Lu Beicen glanced at Gong Ziyu, but said nothing. Gong Ziyu immediately understood that he didn't want to say that this girl really made people feel like they had nowhere to talk. He suddenly said helplessly: "I don't know what Miss Lu is interested in."
Are you interested in the topic?"
Lu Beicen smiled slightly: "It seems that there is no need. Otherwise, why don't you just tell me the reason why we have this meal together today? I think you are also very busy, and according to Mr. Gong's long-sleeved skills, you won't even lose your father."
You can't even get through the court."
Gong Ziyu obviously had no experience in getting along with Lu Beicen, so he couldn't help but ask: "Then if I don't ask you out, how are you going to fool me?"
Lu Beicen just smiled and didn't answer. Gong Ziyu realized that his question was too stupid. He didn't even make a date. Is there any need to fool others?
"Okay, actually my sister asked me to treat you to a meal anyway. I want to ask about Mr. Jiang and his contact information." Gong Ziyu finally surrendered. The man opposite him was very smart and could go around in circles.
It's too tiring to go around.
The waiter came to serve the meal. Lu Beicen watched her turn around and looked at Gong Ziyu with a smile: "You seem to have asked the wrong person. It might be more appropriate to ask your uncle to ask my father directly. Of course, it is also possible. What you are doing now is
It’s time to make the next move.”
Gong Ziyu was surprised, what kind of rank is this? It's not like he has never seen a female top student before. There are a few girls in his class who can be considered top students. It's really rare for someone to be so aware of other people's thoughts.
I've seen it before.
Gong Ziyu couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Lu is so smart, aren't you afraid that I will become interested in you again?"
"Mr. Gong is so smart, this account is not worth it in any way. I can give you a message. If there is no reply, please forgive me! Let's eat." Lu Beicen gave in and spoke very clearly.
Even if she keeps her words to herself, don't bother her anymore if she doesn't hear back. As for the elders, Gong Ziyu still has to deal with it himself.
Having said this, Gong Ziyu could only say nothing more, so he nodded.
Lu Beicen finished his meal neatly and went to the bathroom. When he came out, he accidentally saw Wen Qing. It was obvious that he was standing there waiting for her.
Wen Qing smiled brightly: "I've been waiting for a chance to meet you by chance, but I didn't expect it to be in a place like this. Hello, Xiaobei, long time no see. Do you need me to help you out?"
Lu Beicen was stunned for a moment, and Wen Qing smiled again and said, "I just passed by your table and heard you talking. I paid attention and realized that where I am actually sitting, there should be only one partition between me and you."
Lu Beicen couldn't tell how he felt about this person. He just smiled and thanked him: "No, it's the elders in the family. Thank you, Mr. Wen, and for those flowers."
"Thank me? Why did I hear Xiaoran say that it seems to have caused you a lot of trouble? It has made me afraid to act rashly recently. This is not the place to talk. Since we have met, why don't we give you a chance to say a few words?
What?" Wen Qing's expectant eyes softened Lu Beicen's heart, and he unexpectedly nodded.
Wen Qing was obviously very surprised: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."
Lu Beicen opened his mouth belatedly, and looked at his back who immediately turned around and left, and suddenly laughed a little.
Lu Beicen went to pay the bill, but was told that Mr. Wen had already paid the bill, so he had no choice but to go back to the booth. Gong Ziyu had already finished his meal and the waiter was clearing away the tableware.
Saying goodbye with a smile, Gong Ziyu learned that Lu Beicen had settled the bill, shook his head and laughed: "It's the first blind date, it's quite miserable."
Lu Beicen smiled and said: "Just right, it should be useful for a long time."
Gong Ziyu smiled and waved his hand, watching Lu Beicen get into his mini car, get in and drive away. Wen Qing knew what was going on, so he came over and knocked on Lu Beicen's car window.
"Give me the car keys, and I'll let you drive your car to your neighborhood. You take my car, okay?"
Lu Beicen was a little hesitant, but Wen Qing didn't push her. He just smiled and waited for her answer.
After a while, Lu Beicen rolled up the window, turned off the engine and got out of the car, following Wen Qing's instructions.
The car drove deeper into the lake in the night, playing soft music. Lu Beicen relaxed unconsciously. Wen Qing asked softly: "Do you want to sleep for a while? I see you are a little tired."
Lu Beicen shook his head: "I'm fine, where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there. Let's give it a try first. The first part was the part where I sent you flowers. I was on a business trip. Then I came back and heard Xiaoran say that you were on a business trip. And then, many times, I wanted to call you.
I'm afraid you'll reject me mercilessly like last time, so I've delayed it until now." Wen Qing seemed to be explaining, more like testing.
"The day before yesterday, Xiaoran lost his temper with me. I really didn't mean to trick you. There is a saying that if you take it seriously, you will lose. You know that feeling, right? And I had some things that I had to deal with before I dared to
Standing in front of you so easily, I don't know whether to thank Xiao Ran or blame her. I have never felt so confident."
Wen Qing's eyes were looking at the dimly lit Huanhu Road. She seemed to be speaking casually, but in fact her heart was really beating.
Lu Beicen understood what he meant, but was surprised by his honesty and couldn't help but laugh: "Is this a deeper routine than a routine?"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, maybe the deepest trick in the world is that there is no trick. I originally wanted to talk about it later, but I really can't help it. I like you, I like you very much,
It’s the kind of love that I don’t know how to make you see my feelings clearly. It’s okay if you know. I don’t want your answer. I just want to have a chance to be alone with you like this.”
Lu Beicen really didn't know how to answer, but fortunately Wenqing didn't want her to answer at all, and moved the topic elsewhere: "The road across this section of the lake is Qinshan Mountain, where our ancestors lived before.
In the town of Qinshan, when we were children, we often played in the mountains. The mountains were very fun. At this time, there should be fresh chestnuts to eat. What about you, where did you grow up when you were a child? "
"Xiajiang is the county closest to Huxia. We also have mountains there, but I don't have a chance to go there." Lu Beicen replied casually. Her childhood seemed to have been blurred. She didn't remember much of the happy scenes in her childhood.
, I probably only remember my adoptive mother’s arms and the kitchen at home, and later the kitchen in my adoptive mother’s restaurant, which were all quite warm.
"Is that Xiazhou County? It is now called Xiazhou District. It has recently become a high-tech development zone and is undergoing a lot of development and construction. If you go back in a while, you will probably get lost."
"Probably not, Xiazhou is only a few streets away, so there are only a few streets in total." Lu Beicen answered casually, but what he was thinking about was that he wanted to visit his adoptive mother before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he didn't know that her shoulders and waist still hurt.
It doesn’t hurt…
"Are there any relatives in Xiazhou?"
Relatives? Lu Beicen didn't know how to answer, but he could only nod silently.
The two of them chatted for a while, and the car soon left the lake, passed through a winding narrow road, and entered the hinterland of Qinshan Mountain. Going further in, it became a bit desolate, with no street lights, but
The moonlight today is still very bright.
Wen Qing drove the car to a small lake, took a black bag from the trunk, opened Lu Beicen's car door, asked her to get out of the car, and followed him to a shoal rounded by the water on the lake's edge.
past.
Lu Beicen was very surprised. What was he going to do? Wen Qing took out a few small fireworks from the black bag, and his smile was brighter than the bright moon hanging in the sky: "Set off fireworks and relive your childhood."
Lu Beicen was so stunned that he just watched numbly as Wen Qing took a lighter and lit a cigarette, then placed the fireworks on the stone closest to the water, then lit the fuse, and then ran back to Lu Beicen.
, done in one go, as if this kind of thing had been done countless times and was extremely familiar with it.
The fuses emitted sparks and quickly ignited the fireworks. The fireworks that exploded were not very high, just like the fireworks called fireworks that the neighborhood children set off when they were children. Lu Beicen was still in a trance.
Seeing that Lu Beicen was not as happy as he imagined, Wen Qing couldn't help but ask, "You don't like it?"
Lu Beicen came back to his senses and saw Wen Qing's face illuminated by the fireworks, but his eyes were full of expectation. He shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I quite like it. I just think you are really good at playing. This is
I was never naughty when I was little."
While they were talking, the fireworks had been set off, and Wen Qing went to light another one, then ran back and asked with a smile: "Then why were you so naughty when you were a child?"
Lu Beicen thought about it and realized that he couldn't answer it. Is knocking over a can of sugar considered naughty? Why was there a hint of bitterness on her face? Wen Qing wanted to confirm whether she had seen it wrong, so she couldn't help but stretch out her hand.
He reached out and held Lu Beicen's face.
The fireworks went out at that time. Wen Qing was a little annoyed and had to light another one. But the moment he lit it, it had already stained Lu Beicen's face with the burning heat like fireworks. She shook her head unconsciously,
We have said that we should forget and forget all the unhappiness and unhappiness in the past. Why do we still think about it unconsciously? Every time we think about it, it is hypocritical self-abuse!
However, good things seem to be forgotten more easily. As for pain and embarrassment, it will always be difficult to let go. Is it because it is always hard to calm down that you live so cautiously?
Wen Qing no longer touched her, but just watched her silently watching the fireworks and being lost in thought. Obviously, she was not as simple as he seemed, and she was always worried.
When the fireworks burned out, Wen Qing pulled Lu Beicen and said, "Run!"
Lu Beicen passively started running, but asked casually: "Why are you running?"
"Miss, this is in the mountains. How can we set off fireworks in the mountains? A ranger will be here soon. If you don't want to be caught, you have to run away!" Wen Qing said with a chuckle.
Lu Beicen didn't know what expression to make. He was indeed extremely naughty.
The two of them panted and got into the car. Wenqing quickly started the car and drove out quickly. Under the cover of the night, he escaped from the scene of the "crime". It was impossible to catch him. There were no lights, let alone
Forget about surveillance cameras.
After a while, the two of them got over it, and they laughed like children. Maybe the process of being naughty was confusing or just a heartbeat, but the smooth escape after the naughtiness is the happiest thing...
