She leaned on his back, closed her eyes, and breathed out soothingly, "Ah Hao, I didn't expect you to really agree. I... wasn't I dreaming?"
Jiang Hao pulled her hand away, moved his body to the side to avoid suspicion, and said in a cold tone: "Don't misunderstand me, I just stopped by to accompany you for a review."
Dr. Liu, the attending physician who operated on Xiao Tianai, was invited by the Hong Kong Hospital to conduct academic exchanges here. As a successful special case, Xiao Tianai was also invited.
I met Jiang Hao by chance while shopping.
"It's getting late, let me take you back to the hotel."
Xiao Tianai smiled, "Isn't this just a hotel? Can I stay?"
"Don't be kidding." Jiang Hao was a little serious. He never looked at her, but looked at her in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his peripheral vision. "This is not where you live. The hospital has arranged a hotel. You should go back there."
Xiao Tianai looked a little disappointed, but she was already very happy that Jiang Hao could bring her here to rest. She knew that Jiang Hao did not completely ignore her, and she still had a place in Jiang Hao's heart.
of.
This is a good start.
Xiao Tianai smiled and took a step back quietly, "Ah Hao, I'm so happy to meet you in Hong Kong. Do you think this is fate between the two of us?"
"I'm just here to work." Jiang Hao still had a cold attitude, "If your foot is fine, I'd better take you back to the hotel and let Dr. Liu check it tomorrow, just in case."
"It's okay. The car didn't hit me. I was trying to avoid the car so I accidentally sprained my foot, but it wasn't twisted. You were too cautious."
"It's better to be cautious. It's hard for you to stand up and walk. You can't have any more problems."
Xiao Tianai nodded, with a slight smile on his lips, "Ah Hao, I'm so happy to hear you say that. I'm so happy that you still have me in your heart."
Jiang Hao sighed silently. Lying was really not his thing, so he could only remain silent.
Xiao Tianai said to himself: "I know your difficulties, and I know that you have no feelings for her. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I won't do those wrong things again. I have nothing now, and I don't want to do anything.
Maybe I will frame someone or set up someone again. Ah Hao, even if we are just ordinary friends, I am willing to stay by your side."
Jiang Hao was speechless. He could only change the subject and asked: "Have you asked about the music school? Can it be done?"
"Well, they are short of cello teachers, and the principal knew that I was your friend and knew about my previous experience, so he agreed immediately. When I go back this time, I can officially go to work, and I will have two classes in the afternoon.
I think it’s great that I can have two weekends off during the day.”
"That's great, just work hard."
"I will, and I will prove it to everyone, especially my uncle and aunt, that I can live well alone."
Jiang Hao turned his head, looked at her, and said, "You don't have to prove anything to my parents. There's no need. Live as happily as you want. Life is your own, and no one can live it for you."
"Yes, I understand..." Xiao Tianai smiled shyly. She looked at the reflection of the two of them in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and sighed inwardly, "This is great. The gap between you and me is the same as before, Ah Hao.
I really want to dance, can you dance with me for a while?"
Jiang Hao took a deep breath and said, "It's time for you to go back."
"I know, I know, just leave after dancing." At this time, Xiao Tianai was like a young girl in love, with a little willfulness and a shy face. She took the initiative to hold Jiang Hao's hand, singing in a low voice, and carried her with her.
He dances.
Jiang Hao was careless, every movement was very mechanical, she was almost the one moving him, he was just a flexible robot.
Suddenly, the ringtone of the cell phone interrupted the harmony of this moment. Jiang Hao suddenly retracted his hand, took the cell phone and walked aside.
The call was from Qiao Xinwei. During his business trip, she usually wouldn't contact him unless it was urgent. He held the phone and looked back at Xiao Tianai, wondering whether to answer or not.
Xiao Tianai said wittily: "I'll watch TV for a while, you don't have to worry about me."
Jiang Hao picked up the answer, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Xinwei was having fun over there. She drank a little wine and was a little excited. "Husband, why are you so serious? Are you in a meeting?"
Jiang Hao frowned, but his tone remained unchanged, "No, what kind of meeting is this late at night? I'm resting in the room, my subordinates are here."
"Oh? Male subordinate or female subordinate?"
"Can you tell me whether my subordinate is male or female?"
"Haha, isn't Section Chief Xiao a woman? There are all women in the special forces, so how come there are no women among the subordinates?"
Jiang Hao explained anxiously: "Chief Xiao is not my subordinate, and she is not on a business trip."
"Hehehehe, I'm teasing you, do you know what I'm doing?"
It sounded quite noisy over there, like it was at a KTV. She even drank, "Dinner with colleagues?"
"No, it's your lawyer friend Zhang Yuan. He's getting together with Xiaozhi. He said he wanted to celebrate and wait until you, the great matchmaker, come back to invite you."
Jiang Hao could imagine the happy expression on her face when she said this on the other end of the phone. She was anxious when her friends were in trouble, and she was happy when her friends were happy. Everything was on her face.
"Jiang Hao, why have you become mute? Are you talking about important secrets?"
Jiang Hao expressed his gratitude silently.
Qiao Xinwei suddenly became serious, careful and apologetic, "Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, I was a little excited after drinking a little wine. I was so happy that I wanted to share it with you. Then you can do your work. I
I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Jiang Hao felt extremely distressed. It was a regret that he clearly wanted to participate but had to be absent. It was also the first time he lied to her. If he lied once, he would have to lie a hundred times to cover it up, and she
, is the person who can’t listen to lies the most.
"You drink less." He still couldn't help but warned.
"Don't worry, Zhang Yuan and Xiaozhi will take us back soon. I'll invite Arnold to sleep at our house today."
"good."
"Well, hang up then. Come back soon. I miss you so much."
"Me too."
After saying 88, the phone hung up. Jiang Hao endured his heartache and silently put the phone back into his pocket.
Naturally, Xiao Tian's love has further confirmed his position in Jiang Hao's heart. He is a person who never lies, but today he lied to Qiao Xinwei. What does he mean by lying? It means that he doesn't want their contact with each other to be exposed to Qiao Xinwei.
Xinwei knew, which meant that he acquiesced in their current relationship and that he cared about her.
For her, this is enough.
She lowered her head and said softly: "Ah Hao, I'm sorry, I know I have caused you trouble."
Jiang Hao waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with you, let's go, I'll take you there."
After walking out of the room, Xiao Tianai took the initiative to hold Jiang Hao's hand. Jiang Hao instinctively bounced it away. He paused and said, "I can't be sorry to Qiao Xinwei."
"Can't or don't want to?"
Jiang Hao looked at her and said nothing.
She nodded and smiled, took his arm and left, saying: "It's evening, I'm a little cold, please lend me some warmth."
On the other side, Jiang Hao's hand clenched into a fist. He knew that from this moment on, his mission was on the right track and he had no chance to look back.
——
In the KTV box, three women were having a play, and the fun was already in full swing.
The song cut to the original song and kept playing, with Liu Jinnuo and Qiao Xinwei questioning Zhang Yuan one by one.
The question asked at the beginning was relatively normal. Qiao Xinwei: "Which one of you confessed first?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at Deng Xiaozhi and saw her winking, and he said against his will: "I confessed to her first."
"Wrong, drink." Arnold slowly poured a glass of beer and handed it to him, "You're not telling the truth, you're punished by drinking."
Zhang Yuan: "The cup was so full when I first started it. It seems like I won't be able to get out of here today."
Deng Xiaozhi: "Oh, you are stupid, I have told you to tell the truth with my eyes."
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
It was Arnold's turn to ask. Arnold would not ask such a simple question, "Are you on board?"
Deng Xiaozhi grabbed Arnold's neck and said, "Don't ask, don't ask."
"Hahaha, Zhang Yuan will answer this question quickly."
Zhang Yuan said embarrassedly: "Not yet, but as long as she is willing, it will happen in a minute."
Deng Xiaozhi covered her face in shame, and Qiao Xinwei laughed so hard that she couldn't stand upright.
Arnold came again, "Xiao Zhi, let me ask you, how did you feel when he touched you?"
"Damn, Liu Jinnuo, do you want to kill me?"
"I'm just interested in this. Why, you bite me."
Zhang Yuan also took the risk and said to Deng Xiaozhi: "I want to know too, hahaha."
Deng Xiaozhi became even more embarrassed, covered her face and said: "It feels good."
After Arnold's trouble, Qiao Xinwei stopped asking those simple questions. She asked again, "The time and place of the first kiss."
Zhang Yuan responded honestly, "I kissed her the day before yesterday when she confessed her love. The location was in the parking lot of my office."
Qiao Xinwei asked: "Did you have any animal thoughts at that time?"
Zhang Yuan: "There must be."
"What about you, Xiaozhi?"
Deng Xiaozhi still covered her face, "Yes."
Arnold: "Zhang Yuan, how many people have you been with before? Do you have any ex-girlfriends with whom you have no clear relationship or female friends with whom you have ambiguous relationships?"
Zhang Yuan raised his hand to express his opinion, "This is probably more than one question."
"It's just a series of questions, you answer them well."
"I've been with two people, and I've slept with both of them, just these two. I've been single for three years and haven't had any contact with them. I have a lot of female friends, but it's all a normal working relationship, and there's absolutely no ambiguity."
In fact, Deng Xiaozhi also wanted to know this, but it was not polite to inquire about someone's past just after establishing a relationship. Now that Arnold asked, his answer was basically satisfactory.
Qiao Xinwei thought of a crucial question, "When do you plan to take Xiaozhi home to meet your parents? What are your parents' requirements for their daughter-in-law?"
This question is on point, Xiaozhi really loves her two best friends so much.
