The restaurant Jing Li was interested in was about four or five subway stops away from Xiaoyuan. She originally wanted to take a taxi there, but Huo Qiran pulled her towards the subway station instead.
"It's very convenient to take the subway there." Huo Qiran said, "There may be traffic jams on the ground."
Of course Jing Li agrees with this statement, but...
"Are you used to taking the subway?" Jing Li couldn't help but ask him.
Huo Qiran turned to look at her and laughed, "What's not customary about this?"
When Jing Li heard him ask this, she instantly remembered how he used to ride his bicycle to and from school every day in high school.
Probably for this reason, no one in the school knew at that time that he would be a child of the famous Huo family.
In fact, there is really no trace of pampering in him. He seems to have always been like this, warm and peaceful, no different from the people around him, but he is the most dazzling one.
Thinking of this, Jing Li couldn't help but blush silently.
Although what she thought was true, this person was actually her boyfriend now...
Doesn't praising her boyfriend like this sound a bit like... Wang Po is selling her melons?
She was thinking silently, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Huo Qiran. Huo Qiran also turned to look at her, and when he caught her sight, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Jing Li quickly shook her head and dragged him forward a few steps quickly.
Although it was still early and far from the evening rush hour, the subway in Huai City was always crowded. As soon as she got on the subway, Huo Qiran protected her in front of him, while gently holding her waist with one hand to isolate her as much as possible.
distance between her and other people.
Li stood close to him, her eyes lowered almost the whole way, but she could not hide the smile on her lips.
The restaurant Jing Li chose is located on the roof of an old hotel in Huai City. It is a very well-known Western restaurant. Although the seats are open, they are widely spaced, ensuring comfort and privacy at the same time.
The two of them sat down by the window, with a view of the bustling city outside the window.
For Jing Li, this city is still unfamiliar, but this inexplicability does not make her panic, but makes her extremely happy.
The dishes were served one after another, and the two of them ate slowly, whispering this while eating.
Jing Li didn't notice any problems at all, until Huo Qiran finally couldn't help but ask her: "Don't you have any questions to ask me?"
Jing Li was confused, "Huh? What's the problem?"
Huo Qiran looked at her, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Didn't you realize that I was the one asking you questions throughout the whole process, and you were talking about many things about yourself. But you didn't seem to have any questions to ask me?"
"What questions do I have to ask you?" Jing Li still just smiled, "I don't have any questions."
Huo Qiran looked at her like this and couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
How did she manage to avoid him in this way, even running to Huai City to avoid him?
Jing Li was filled with sweetness at the moment. Although Huo Qiran asked her this question and she realized that there seemed to be something that she had ignored, she really couldn't remember it at the moment.
It's him in my heart, it's him in my eyes, and other things don't seem to matter.
When dessert was served, Jing Li went to the bathroom.
She had just stood up and left for a while when two female customers were greeted by staff from outside. One of them glanced at the window when she entered and suddenly stopped.
"Huo Qiran?"
When Huo Qiran heard the sound, he turned around and saw Su Zhen.
Su Zhen was obviously surprised, and Huo Qiran didn't expect to see her here. When she walked to the dining table, the two of them almost said in unison -
"when did you come?"
"When did you come back?"
After reacting, the two people laughed at the same time.
Ever since that incident four years ago, the relationship between the two of them has never been as natural or as close as before. Although there are still many opportunities to meet each other every year, the normal contact is much less.
"You didn't tell me that you came to Huai City." Su Zhen said, "And you came here to eat——"
When her eyes fell on the chair opposite Huo Qiran, her words suddenly stopped.
Because there was a women's backpack on the chair next to it, a very young style.
Su Zhen paused, realized what was happening, and quickly pushed Huo Qiran, "Okay, now I'll catch you, right? Are you dating someone here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Li, who came out of the bathroom, saw this scene and was also slightly shocked.
Huo Qiran quickly looked in her direction, and Su Zhen also followed his gaze.
The moment she saw Jing Li, she was obviously very surprised, but she still laughed quickly, "Jing Li? Are you coming to Huai City too? When did you return to China?"
Jing Li then walked forward with a smile and said, "Su Su, long time no see."
"It's really been a long time." Su Zhen pulled her, looked at Huo Qiran, and said, "You two secretly made an appointment for dinner in Huai City, and you didn't even tell me!"
Jing Li was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "No, we didn't even know you were back..."
While she was explaining, Huo Qiran suddenly stood up and walked around Su Su to her side. Then he stretched out his hand and gently hugged Jing Li's shoulders. Su Zhen looked at her in shock again.
He smiled and said, "Let me formally introduce you to my girlfriend, Jing Li."
