The Most Beautiful Years Met You [188] She Didn't Expect Yu Zhongxiao to Appear
Xiao Yi saw Ye Hehuan's stunned look and knew that it was Ye Zhimin who had revealed the information. He raised the corner of his mouth and said politely, "You should have remembered it now, right?"
I can't say that I am very familiar with Xiao Yi and Ye Hehuan, but because they are acquainted, I feel less cautious.
She put away her phone, nodded with a smile, paused and said, "It's just something I didn't expect."
"I originally thought you wouldn't come." Xiao Yi leaned back in his chair and clasped his hands on the edge of the table. He looked at Ye Hehuan with a little tenderness in his eyes. Compared with the young boy seven years ago, he is now more youthful.
Xiao Yi has a temperament that belongs only to social elites, "So... I can say that I was overjoyed when I received a call from Aunt Ye in the evening."
Ye Hehuan smiled brightly, then lowered his head and took the water glass and took a sip.
In fact, she didn't know how to answer the call.
She turned a blind eye to this blind date and agreed to it, but she didn't expect that she would be an acquaintance, so she inevitably felt like she was riding a tiger.
On the way here, Ye Hehuan was still thinking that if the other person was not good, she could just find an excuse to leave halfway. Since this was the first time they met, they might not see each other again in the future, so there was no need to worry too much.
If she feels that they are not suitable for each other, she can remain silent until the end of the meal, and the other party should also understand what she means.
Now the blind date has been changed to Xiao Yi. Ye Hehuan was surprised and recalled some memories about Xiao Yi.
It's not bad, at least Xiao Yi was a graceful and careful boy back then.
She was in Fengcheng for medical treatment at the time, and Xiao Yi took a long-distance bus to find her. Later, she was taken away by Yu Zhongxiao, without even taking care of Xiao Yi, who was unfamiliar with the place and was abandoned halfway.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Hehuan cannot treat the young man in front of him with a cold attitude now.
The waiter came over with a menu and took their order.
Xiao Yi said "ladies first" and handed over the menu in a gentlemanly manner. Ye Hehuan flipped through the menu page by page. Seeing those delicious dishes, he couldn't bring up any appetite. He just ordered a sour soup, fat beef and a piece of cake.
Stir-fried green beans in a plate.
"Just order these two?" Xiao Yi asked while taking back the menu and looking at her with concern.
Ye Hehuan said: "I ate some pastries before going out. I'm not very hungry now."
Xiao Yi added several dishes, including braised eggplant in oil, sweet and sour carp, and stewed duck with dried bamboo shoots. It was not until the waiter left that Ye Hehuan realized that these dishes were all his favorites. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional.
, Ye Hehuan felt a little moved in his heart because of Xiao Yi's thoughtfulness.
There were so many people coming to the Western restaurant to eat that the food was served very slowly.
Xiao Yi also knew that Ye Hehuan had appeared in magazines before, but he never believed the news in these gossip magazines, and he felt that Ye Hehuan was not so discerning, so he didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Yi was not a talkative person, and sitting across from him was the girl he had loved for many years. In order to seize this opportunity, he tried hard to find topics to keep the atmosphere quiet.
He was the one talking most of the time, and Ye Hehuan only answered once in a while, and it wasn't too long.
Xiao Yi noticed that Ye Hehuan was absent-minded. He just assumed that the girl was not interested in engineering, ended the topic calmly, and turned to ask Ye Hehuan about Austrian customs and habits.
"Last time someone from our company went on a business trip to Austria, where he ate meat every day. When he came back a week later, the pants he bought before couldn't be buttoned up."
"Austria is a landlocked country that mainly eats meat." Ye Hehuan explained, and introduced a few better restaurants. "Next time he goes on a business trip, you can let him try it there."
After speaking, Ye Hehuan became quiet again.
Xiao Yi suddenly said: "Isn't it boring to chat with me?"
Ye Hehuan raised his head and looked at him.
"I always thought you were in Austria. To be honest, I was surprised to learn that you were in Fengcheng."
At this moment, the waiter came over with dishes and interrupted them.
…
During the meal, Ye Hehuan ate to a point where she didn't know how to taste it. Xiao Yi made several conversational remarks during the meal, but seeing that she didn't take it very seriously, he stopped talking in the end.
This situation seemed so similar that it reminded Xiao Yi of the meal seven years ago.
Ye Hehuan came to her senses amidst the laughter and laughter around her. She also noticed the silence at their table and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Yi, haven't you had a girlfriend in Beijing in the past few years?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Hehuan realized that the topic was inappropriate, but it was too late to take it back.
Xiao Yi put down his chopsticks and took a sip of juice. His answer was very honest: "We talked about one, but we broke up not long after."
"Why?"
"Maybe the personality is not suitable."
Hearing such an answer, Ye Hehuan did not feel uncomfortable. Even if Xiao Yi liked him before, it did not mean that he would always hold on to this secret love that may never be reciprocated. Everyone is qualified to pursue happiness.
And now that they can sit together, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with Xiao Yi's character.
As for her ability to make such a candid and fair analysis, perhaps it is also because she has no more feelings for Xiao Yi other than as a friend.
"Your face..." Xiao Yi suddenly looked at her and hesitated.
Ye Hehuan subconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek, guessing that it must have been stained with something.
Xiao Yi leaned forward, and the hand holding the wet towel was about to touch her face. Ye Hehuan instinctively avoided it, but Xiao Yi told her not to move, and then wiped the spot on her mouth for her.
Sauce.
Ye Hehuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly. Xiao Yi's movement made her face look slightly unnatural.
"I'll wipe it myself." She said, going to get the towel in his hand.
Xiao Yi didn't give it. He looked closely at Ye Hehuan and Bai Xi's beautiful facial features, and stopped wiping them.
"..."
Ye Hehuan raised his head and met Xiao Yi's focused gaze.
…
Ye Hehuan felt Xiao Yi's breath was very close to her. She was no longer an ignorant girl and naturally knew what it meant. However, she was also surprised by Xiao Yi's speed. Their relationship didn't seem to have progressed to the point where they could have this kind of intimacy.
One step of action...
Just as she was about to avoid it, her cell phone rang suddenly.
The moment the bell rang, Ye Hehuan's heart paused for a second. The figure of that person flashed through her mind, almost unconsciously. The first thing she thought of was him.
Then another thought popped into her mind - if he saw this scene, he would be embarrassed on the spot.
——It’s like a kind of servility.
This kind of servility was brought to its extreme when Ye Hehuan saw the caller ID.
"Why didn't you answer?" Xiao Yi asked.
Ye Hehuan cut off the phone and said lightly: "Wrong call."
Xiao Yi squinted at the phone that was ringing again, "Is it a number that I don't recognize? In recent years, the sales methods have become more and more diverse, and I can receive inexplicable calls every three days."
"……probably."
Ye Hehuan didn't even look at the screen. He pressed the shutdown button and stood up with his bag: "I'm going to the bathroom."
——
Toilet.
Ye Hehuan shook off the water drops on her hands and looked up at herself in the mirror. She was briefly confused. She suddenly didn't understand why she agreed to come here.
The whole evening was boring and long for her.
She thought of that phone number again, and when she saw the familiar string of numbers, her heart felt like a big rush of cold wind. Over the years, she had already changed her original mobile phone number... Now that she has returned to Fengcheng,
Why not get a local Fengcheng number?
Ye Hehuan returned to the western restaurant. The leftovers on the table had been taken away and replaced by a dessert.
Xiao Yi said: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered it."
"I quite like eating papaya."
Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled. After a while, he asked, "Do you have anything else to do tonight?"
Ye Hehuan understood what Xiao Yi meant. She checked the time in the bathroom just now. It was almost seven-thirty. She had finished her meal. It was still early to go home. If she was willing, they could make other arrangements.
Originally planning to refuse, Ye Hehuan suddenly felt rebellious as the words came to her lips, and she said no.
"Then let's go watch a movie together. Several European and American blockbusters have just been released recently."
The enthusiasm shown by Xiao Yi made Ye Hehuan feel that he was taking advantage of him.
Just as he was about to change his tune, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the door of the western restaurant out of the corner of his eye, and all his words were choked in his throat.
She didn't expect him to appear here.
As if by some kind of induction, Yu Zhongxiao also saw her and walked towards her at a leisurely pace.
At this moment, Ye Hehuan had no intention of trying to figure out the expression on his face. All she could think about was - how did he know he was here? Why did he come here? Did he come here specifically to find her?
Ye Hehuan stared at the man who was getting closer and closer.
She gripped the small spoon tightly with her fingers, her knuckles turning white. She didn't hear a word of what Xiao Yi was saying in her ears.
After the surprise, panic and uneasiness welled up in my heart.
Xiao Yi noticed something strange about Ye Hehuan, "Hehuan, are you okay?" As he said that, he followed her line of sight and turned to look behind him.
