The setting sun slanted down on him, coating his body with a golden edge.
His hair also turned golden in the sunset.
The wind blew very gently, ruffling the hair on her forehead. Ziyi looked at him quietly.
The evening glow shone in his eyes, and there was a color of glass in the depths of his eyes.
The pair of eyes that had always been invisible in the dream became clearly visible in front of Ziyi's eyes.
Ever since she could remember, she had been dreaming about a beach.
That beach is very beautiful.
There were blue sky and white clouds, turquoise sea water, and a very large coconut forest, and she was lying on a lounge chair next to the large coconut tree. She looked at the silhouette of seagulls passing by in the distance, looked at the turquoise sea water, and looked at
People were playing below. Or they could close their eyes, enjoy the beautiful sea breeze blowing their hair, and then fall asleep in the beautiful scenery.
A big wave hit, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a purple shining thing. She ran over and picked it up curiously. It was a purple shell, shining purple in the sunlight.
She happily played with it and thought about where to put it when she got back.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew over, and the color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed. She couldn't stand still, and was blown into the sea by the gust of wind, taking the purple shell with it.
She couldn't swim, and within a moment, she began to be unable to breathe.
Will I die? This thought passed through her mind.
Just when she was about to lose consciousness, an arm grabbed her and pulled her up from the sea. However, she could never see clearly the face of the person who saved her in the dream, but she remembered that the person had a pair of bright eyes.
.
She has always liked the sea water, maybe because of the sea in her dreams, so every time she sees the sea water, she always feels a sense of intimacy.
But why was there a scene in the dream where she almost drowned?
She tightened her clothes, frowned, and thought hard about the fragments, but she still couldn't piece together a complete face, and could only see a vague shadow.
Leng Chen looked at her strangely, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her face.
Ziyi didn't pay attention at first and suddenly snatched the pendant away.
Leng Chen didn't pay attention to being snatched away by her and looked at her a little annoyed. This time she looked at him with a smile.
"How's it going? Hehe~~" Ziyi shook the pendant she grabbed.
"You're awesome, okay? But how can you repay me for helping you so many times?" Leng Chen didn't care too much about her snatching the pendant away. He just liked to tease her, but no one had ever dared
She was so polite to him. This girl is a bit special.
"Why should I repay you? You haven't done anything big or big to help me." She deliberately emphasized the word "big" to let him know that she was not that easy to fool.
"Wow, is this how you treat people who help you? So stingy!"
"I'm not stingy! Do you want me to give you something, or do you want to treat you to dinner?" Ziyi turned her head and looked at Leng Chen's joking expression, thinking in her heart: This man looks so handsome.
This character is not very good, he always wants to blackmail her.
"Invite me to dinner."
"ah!"
"I said you would treat me to dinner." Looking at Ziyi's lost expression, Leng Chen reiterated.
"Okay, let's go!" Ziyi shook her long hair, which swayed with her pulse. Then she walked forward. She didn't believe that this man would be so shameless to follow her.
"Okay." Leng Chen caught up with her and walked outside with her.
"Do you really want me to treat you to dinner?" Ziyi stared at the handsome man in front of her with wide eyes. She had never met such a self-righteous person.
"Yes, you said so yourself. How about you give me an ornament similar to your pendant."
"Is there any mistake?"
"No."
"snort."
"What's the matter, you don't want to?"
"I don't want to."
"Really?" Leng Chen took a step closer and continued to look at Ziyi with that careless look. Ziyi was so frightened that she took a step back.
"What are you doing?" Ziyi looked at his approaching footsteps with a little fear.
"What am I doing?" Leng Chen repeated those words and took another step forward. This step brought them closer. Looking at his face that suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, Ziyi stepped back in fear.
This time she retreated to the edge of the steps, unable to stand still, and fell backwards.
"Be careful!" Leng Chen was shocked and hurriedly reached out to pull her, but he only pulled up her sleeves. Her body still fell down. Leng Chen stretched out his other hand to drag her falling body.
After such a delay, Ziyi fell into his arms and smelled a male breath and a faint fragrance. Her face turned red and then turned white, remembering that he had taken advantage of her.
Being frightened by him again, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and started falling down.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Leng Chen was just glad that she didn't fall, but in the blink of an eye, her tears made him panic.
Ziyi didn't speak, only tears kept falling down.
"Hey, don't cry. Can I apologize to you? Is it my fault?" Leng Chen's forehead began to sweat. He had never coaxed anyone before. Usually, others would coax him.
This time it was tragic, the joke went too far, and the girl started crying. Facing a face full of pear blossoms, he couldn't yell and yell, and he couldn't persuade him. He was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
"You bully me." Seeing his helpless look, Ziyi bit her lips and finally whispered.
"Okay, okay, I'm bullying you. Stop crying. You will attract attention here." Leng Chen had a cold sweat on his face. Hey, why does this girl cry so easily?
"Then I want you to treat me to dinner." Ziyi raised her face, with crystal tears on it.
"Okay, you can say whatever you want, as long as you can leave here quickly." Leng Chen felt that someone was paying attention to them from behind.
"Then I want to eat Western food." Ziyi rolled her eyes and said. She said to herself in her heart: I have to kill you today.
"You like to eat Western food."
"Yes. What, do you have any objections?"
"Okay, let's go. As long as you stop crying, I don't have any objections." Leng Chen said helplessly. He said in his heart: You must not offend a girl. If you offend her, nothing good will happen.
Leng Chen returned the pendant to Ziyi, and then led her forward.
Green Western Restaurant.
Ziyi raised her head and saw that the decoration was different. It was much more grand than the restaurant that Shishi took her to that time.
Just the words "Greenery Western Restaurant" attract people's attention and can be seen from a long distance.
Except for the occasional meal out once or twice with her cousin, Ziyi has never been to a place like this to eat. If it were her usual self, looking at her clothes, they didn't match this place at all, and she would have run away long ago.
, but today is different. Today she wants to kill the man in front of her who made her cry. And in her head, it seems that except for Western food, nothing else is more expensive. Huh, wait a minute, if he can't pay
Ask for money and see if he dares to offend her casually.
Leng Chen secretly looked at Zi Yi's snickering expression and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
The waiter at the door seemed to be about 1.7 meters tall. When he saw Leng Chen, he smiled politely at him. After seeing Ziyi, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he put on a very professional smile.
"Xiao Lu, are you on duty today?" Leng Chen asked.
"Yeah, why are you free to come here today?" the tall, fair-skinned girl on the left asked as she led them into the restaurant.
"I want to come and see you!" Leng Chen said in a joking tone.
"Really? You haven't been here for several days."
"I can't help it. There are a lot of things going on in the company recently."
"Oh, then who is this little sister?"
"She? Colleague. By the way, please take her to the bathroom."
"Why should I go?" Ziyi rolled her eyes.
"I don't know which kitten was crying just now, and it made a big painted face on its face." Leng Chen leaned close to her ear and said with a chuckle.
"You!" Ziyi's face turned red with anger again. She clenched her fists and had to restrain herself not to punch him.
"Okay, go to the bathroom with this sister and wash your face. I'll be waiting for you here." Leng Chen patted her shoulder and said in a flattering tone.
"Hmph!" Zi Yi snorted heavily from her nose.
"Please come with me." Xiao Lu led Ziyi to the bathroom.
Looking at her slightly red and swollen eyes in the mirror, Ziyi suddenly felt that all her strength was gone. She just wanted to sit here and take a rest, without going anywhere, without thinking about anything, without having to work or live, nothing.
.Actually, her tears just now were not all because of Leng Chen. She just remembered that she had lived alone in this world for so many years, without even knowing what her parents looked like, and now she had to work outside to support her life. For two months.
She didn’t know if she could earn the tuition fees later...
After washing her face, she gathered herself together. After walking out, she hid her self-pity and followed Xiao Lu to Leng Chen's place with a calm face.
He was sitting in a daze by the window. When he saw them coming, he smiled. Xiao Lu helped Ziyi pull out a chair and said, "I'll get the menu. You guys sit down."
"Yes." Leng Chen nodded and put the bag on the chair. Ziyi looked at the bag and then at Leng Chen.
"Have any questions?" Leng Chen noticed the strange look in her eyes and asked.
"Why do you carry a women's bag?"
"This is a gift."
Zi Yi glanced at him, hum, it must be for some little lover, Zi Yi thought disdainfully, and then her eyes were immediately attracted by the light above her head.
Above their heads, there were small rows of small lights, all emitting a faint orange light. Those lights were small, but they illuminated the room very brightly.
She tilted her head and tried hard to find the source of the lamp, but she couldn't find it.
"Excuse me, what do you want to order?" Xiao Lu asked standing in front of Zi Yi holding a thick menu.
"Ah, oh." Ziyi jumped up in fright.
"What do you want to eat?" Leng Chen looked at her funny.
Ziyi waved to Leng Chen, told him to come over, and whispered: "I don't know what I want to eat, and I don't know those words, so you better have some."
After saying that, I pushed him and said loudly: "It's up to you to decide what I eat."
Leng Chen gave her a dumbfounded look, and then said to Xiao Lu: "Just a steak, 7 cents. And two glasses of juice. If you need anything else, we'll talk about it later."
After Xiao Lu left, Leng Chen looked at Zi Yi and said with a smile, "Have you never eaten Western food?"
"Yes, what's up? If you're not convinced, cry if you're not convinced. If you cry, I'll comfort you."
"Ha, I don't know who was crying so hard that I was out of breath just now." Leng Chen said teasingly.
"You have the nerve to say it, but who asked you to bully me?"
"Hey, I won't argue with you." After saying that, she closed her eyes and began to rest. Ziyi ignored him and looked around at the layout of the Western restaurant.
The soft sound of the piano reached her ears, and she seemed to be slowly falling asleep.
"Sir, the steak you asked for has arrived." A girl's sweet voice said softly above their ears.
"Oh, thank you." Ziyi opened her eyes and saw that the person who brought the steak was not the little Lu just now. It was another younger girl.
"You're welcome." The girl smiled shyly.
After the girl left, Ziyi frowned at the steak.
"Hey, how do you want to eat this?"
"I have a name, Ah Chen. I don't have a surname."
"I asked you how to cut it?"
"Why should I tell you? You came to eat it yourself."
"Hmph, you look good, but you have such a bad heart." Zi Yi took a fork and touched the steak, then put it down.
Leng Chen looked at her with a smile, and she raised her head and bumped into his smiling face.
"I think one word is the best way to describe you." Ziyi rolled her eyes and said.
"What word?"
"Pretty face." After the words came out of her mouth, Ziyi realized something was wrong, but she couldn't stop herself.
Leng Chen stood up at once, with a gloomy expression on his face. It seemed that he was going to punch him in the next moment. Ziyi was so frightened that he did not dare to move. After a long time, Leng Chen sat down heavily on the sofa without saying a word.
I started to pick up the knife and fork and eat the steak.
Ziyi didn't dare to speak anymore, and picked up the knife and fork, but she didn't know how to cut. She was so anxious that she couldn't cut. Suddenly, the knife cut her hand, but it was very sharp, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
The blood flowed out and dripped onto the steak. Her hands were no longer in control, and she heard a "squeak" sound, and the knife and fork fell to the ground.
The fingers are connected to the heart, and pain spreads from the fingers.
Leng Chen heard something strange and raised his head, just in time to see Ziyi's bloody fingers and an expression of trying to hold back the pain.
He jumped a lot and quickly sat next to her to check her fingers. She tried her best to endure the pain but didn't show him or say anything.
"Is bleeding fun?" Leng Chen's tone was filled with anger unconsciously. Ziyi raised her head, met his anxious bright eyes, and finally let go of her hand in compromise.
He checked it and then called the waiter over. After a while, the waiter brought bandages, disinfectant and other supplies.
He sat next to Zi Yi, who shrank her neck and looked at him timidly.
"Do you like bleeding very much?" Leng Chen's always smiling face already had a hint of anger.
"No." Zi Yi said in a low voice, then obediently took out her hand and asked him to bandage it for her.
Looking at the wound that was half a centimeter long, Leng Chen took a breath. Fortunately, the cut was not too deep.
Smelling the faint fragrance on his body, Ziyi's face suddenly turned as red as an apple, and her heartbeat began to speed up. She tried hard to control her heartbeat, but her heart still beat so fast.
"Don't touch the water these days, you know?" Leng Chen put away his carefree look and began to explain to her seriously.
"Oh." Zi Yi nodded honestly.
Leng Chen called the waiter, replaced her plate of steak with a new one, and then he helped her cut it.
"I'll do it myself." Seeing that he was about to feed him, Ziyi quickly took the fork with her still intact hand and said.
"Okay. Take it." Leng Chen did not refuse, but gently handed her the knife and fork. Her fingers touched his warm skin, and her hand trembled, almost not holding it.
"Be careful." Leng Chen's hand that had just let go quickly grabbed the handle of the fork, and then the two of them held their hands together. Their warm palms touched, and their hearts beat faster.
Ziyi raised her eyes and looked at him, and he looked at Ziyi. As if he suddenly woke up, he let go of the hand that was holding her.
After this commotion, the air between them suddenly became a little stiff. Leng Chen didn't know what to do, so he had to lower his head and eat the steak.
"Why don't you speak?" Ziyi hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"What do you want me to say?" Leng Chen raised his head and met her eyes, which were still wet from the pain just now, and suddenly felt a surge of pity for her in his heart.
"It's nothing, I'm going back."
"Then I'll give it to you."
“No need, I’ll live in ‘Shixin Garden’.”
"Really, I'm there too. Then let's go together." Leng Chen said happily, the embarrassment just now was gone.
"Really?" Ziyi asked unexpectedly.
"Of course, by the way, I don't know your name yet."
"Ziyi, purple Zi, rely on Yi." Ziyi also said happily, and seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, they all forgot about the unpleasant period just now.
