Sensing something was wrong with Ye Qiaoxi, Lao Xu couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?" He didn't see the scene just now, so naturally he didn't know what she was upset about.
"It's okay." Ye Qiaoxi's voice was a little muffled.
She rested her head on the car window, her eyes unconsciously following the passing scenery. The smiling faces of the two people kept appearing in front of her eyes. Suddenly, she seemed to see something, and hurriedly said to Old Xu, "Uncle Xu,
parking!"
"Uh? Oh." Lao Xu immediately stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.
Ye Qiaoxi opened the car door and jumped out.
"Miss! Be careful!"
She chased after the tall figure in front of her, "Zi Ye!"
The person in front of him turned his head and faced Ye Qiaoxi's sweaty cheek. He was also startled, and then his eyes revealed surprise, "Xixi!"
Zi Ye was carrying a light backpack, washed jeans, white Converse canvas shoes, and a black T-shirt. He looked bright and sunny. He pulled Ye Qiaoxi to pass by, "Why are you here?"
Ye Qiaoxi pointed to the car parked behind him, "Haha, I'm getting ready to go home. I just happened to see you."
"Oh," Zi Ye rubbed her hair, "Go back quickly." After saying that, he turned around to leave as if something was wrong. Ye Qiaoxi suddenly grabbed him, with a trace of unnoticeable loneliness on his face, and then smiled.
He said, "Zi Ye, I'm hungry, can you treat me to dinner?" There was no reason, I just didn't want to go back so soon and face the house without Lan Xichen.
Zi Ye was stunned, and his clear eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable, "Hey, your profession can be considered a golden collar, so don't be so stingy."
Zi Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded with a smile, "Okay, whatever you want to eat."
"That's great," Ye Qiaoxi happily clapped her hands. Only Zi Ye could see how exaggerated her smile was.
Ye Qiaoxi ran back and explained to Lao Xu for a long time, repeatedly ensuring that she was just hungry and went home immediately after eating. Seeing that Zi Ye didn't look like a bad person, Lao Xu nodded.
"There is a Japanese restaurant nearby. It's very famous. Let me take you to try it." Ziye didn't wait for her to express her opinion and directly held her hand across the street. In a crowded place, his palm was carefully pressed against hers.
waist.
"Zi Ye, where are you going?" Ye Qiaoxi asked curiously.
He smiled lightly and said, "Haha, it's nothing."
Of course Ye Qiaoxi would not know that he was going to complete a secret mission, nor would he know how important this mission was.
"Xixi, I heard about the masquerade party." Zi Ye tilted his head to look at her and said cautiously, "You'd better stay away from Zuo Qing."
"Haha, she hates me so much, so of course she has to stay away."
"Well, there is also Zuo Xichen. This person is not simple."
"That's what Xichen warned me too." Speaking of Lan Xichen, Ye Qiaoxi immediately thought of Situ Jia. She immediately shut her mouth, as if she didn't want to say more.
Sensing her silence, Zi Ye stared at her quietly without saying anything else. He grabbed her hand, but kept holding it tightly, as if he wanted to give her some comfort through it. Ye Qiaoxi, who was in a disturbed mood, did not say anything at all.
Just didn't notice it.
The two came to a restaurant with simple decoration but full of Japanese style and high-end taste. Under the handmade lanterns hanging above their heads, each table was occupied by a man and a woman. It was obvious that this restaurant was loved by lovers.
Ye Qiaoxi, who was still resentful, raised his head inadvertently and happened to see the person sitting not far away.
After being stunned, she reacted quickly and sat down nearby, shrank her body into the corner, quickly waved to Zi Ye, and lowered her voice, "Zi Ye, sit here!"
Zi Ye looked at her in confusion, "Xixi, you..."
"Shh!" Ye Qiaoxi stretched out her index finger and pressed his lips.
In an instant, an electric current spread from his lips. Two blushes suddenly appeared on Zi Ye's cheeks. Fortunately, Ye Qiaoxi was focused on the table behind him and didn't notice him at all.
"Xixi, what would you like to eat?" Through the process of passing the menu, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and immediately adjusted himself.
"Whatever," Ye Qiaoxi quietly turned his head and glanced at the table behind him.
Only then did Zi Ye realize that something was wrong with her and followed her gaze. At this glance, he immediately understood something.
"Lan Xichen? Why is he here?"
Ye Qiaoxi lowered his gaze and said with a somewhat lonely tone, "Maybe he's here to discuss business."
Zi Ye looked over again suspiciously. Lan Xichen was indeed holding something like a plan in his hand, but the expression on his face was very casual, not at all the rigor that should be used when talking about business. He saw the person sitting next to him.
When he saw a woman, he raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Zuo Qing?"
"She's not Zuo Qing," Ye Qiaoxi couldn't help but say as she took a sip of water, "She's Xichen's first love."
As smart as Zi Ye, there is no need to say anything more, he has completely understood everything.
After the food was served, Ye Qiaoxi ate every bite, but her ears were very strong. Zi Ye stared at her and said nothing.
At another table, Situ Jia seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Xichen, do you remember? When we lived in the United States, there was a Japanese restaurant on the east side of the street?"
Lan Xichen put down the plan book in his hand and nodded with a smile, "Of course I remember. Because you like to eat, you dragged me to eat for five days. I ate so much that I swore at that time that I didn't want to go to Japan in my life."
"Haha..." Situ Jia laughed heartily, pointed at him and said, "You look tall and big, but you are afraid of eating mustard!" Thinking of his expression when eating mustard, she kept laughing.
"And you said? You know I don't like to eat, and you put mustard in my food when I wasn't paying attention!"
"What are you trying to do? If you hadn't complained, why would my mother have withheld my pocket money?"
"Don't forget, you snatched my wallet in the end."
Situ Jia's beautiful big eyes suddenly flashed, "Are you there?"
Ye Qiaoxi desperately poked the sashimi on the plate with her chopsticks until it turned into minced fish. She didn't even know that Xichen hated mustard! How could she know? She didn't.
The two of them are childhood sweethearts...
"That's enough, Xixi," Zi Ye held her hand and looked at her softly, "Let's go."
Ye Qiaoxi shook his head, "Why are you leaving? The food here is so delicious, I'm not full yet!" As he said that, he stuffed a piece of sushi into his mouth, chewed hard, and smiled hard while chewing,
"delicious……"
Zi Ye handed over a glass of water distressedly, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
At this moment, Lan Xichen behind him waved to the waiter, "Check out."
When Ye Qiaoxi heard this, his face immediately turned pale. What to do, they must pass by here when they go out. What would Lan Xichen think if he found out that she went out to eat with another man, or even came in behind them?
?
God, she didn't want to be thought of as a peeping tom!
