The weather in July was getting hotter and muggier. At the hottest time in the afternoon, there were not many passers-by on the street. Gu Nianxi walked into Manyu Coffee Shop with a parasol. The moment she opened the door and walked in, a wave of coolness hit her face.
She sat in her usual seat and ordered herself an iced latte. Ten minutes later, Lin Yiduo appeared.
As soon as Lin Yiduo sat down, Gu Nianxi saw that her eyes were a little swollen and asked her quickly, "Have you ever cried?"
"Ah? Oh, I watched a touching movie yesterday and I cried to death." Lin Yiduo said lightly, thinking that he could deceive him, but Gu Nianxi followed up and asked.
"Did you have a fight with Zhao Zimu?"
"No, how could he and I quarrel?" Lin Yiduo lowered her head guiltily. The waiter happened to be delivering coffee, and she quickly helped to receive it, "Thank you."
"Zi Mu is back?" Gu Nianxi asked cautiously, noticing that Lin Yiduo's eyes kept evading.
"Oh, I came back to take care of some things, but I left again today."
Gu Nianxi stopped asking further. She knew that Lin Yiduo was deceiving her, but she did not dare to expose her because she was afraid that the truth would make her sad. There must be some misunderstanding between her and Zhao Zimu.
After putting down the coffee, the little girl was about to leave, when she suddenly saw Gu Nianxi, her eyes lit up.
"Huh? Isn't my sister Dr. He's girlfriend?"
"Huh?" Gu Nianxi.
"Huh?!" Lin Yiduo.
Lin Yiduo stared at Gu Nianxi with eyes as wide as bells, "You agreed?"
"Of course not."
Lin Yiduo tilted his head and thought, something seemed wrong.
Didn’t I just call her yesterday to ask for her opinion? Why did she suddenly become my girlfriend?
"Uh, classmate, you misunderstood. I am not Dr. He's girlfriend, I am his patient."
"Patient? No, we have seen your photo a long time ago. Two years ago, Dr. He came back from abroad. When he was giving us a health lecture, his mobile phone accidentally cast the screen on the projector, and we saw your photo.
Yes, that photo seems to be you and him dancing.
Dance?
Gu Nianxi and Lin Yiduo looked at each other. If Gu Nianxi was confused, Lin Yiduo was even more confused than her.
Could it be that...she had an affair with Su Yuheng when she was with him?
"Uh... did Dr. He say anything?" Lin Yiduo asked for Gu Nianxi.
"Oh, Dr. He generously said that she was the girl he liked. Everyone thought she was his girlfriend in country M, so we recognized her when you came with him that day."
"..."
Lin Yiduo stared at Gu Nianxi, and Gu Nianxi quickly shook her head, "I don't remember, I really don't know."
"It seems...he didn't lie."
Lin Yiduo's head was full of questions. Wasn't this Miss Gu opposite Su Yuheng in a lifelong love relationship? Why did Dr. He suddenly appear?
When Gu Nianxi was confused, Lin Yiduo persuaded her to consider He Jianchen. As the two were talking, a black sports car drove up outside the coffee shop and parked in the parking space outside their window. Gu Nianxi didn't pay much attention to it.
All she could think about was her relationship with He Jianchen.
"You see, both you and He Jianchen have studied abroad to study medicine. He Jianchen has great looks and temperament. As for his family, I think it doesn't matter even if his family's conditions are average. You can live with Uncle Gu, and you can still take care of--
"
Before Lin Yiduo finished speaking, her eyes were staring outside. Gu Nianxi looked over curiously and saw a man getting out of a sports car. When she saw the man's face clearly, her eyes widened in shock.
.
Congratulations Jianchen!
Gu Nianxi stood up from the chair and ran away before he noticed him!
"I, I'm going to the bathroom, don't tell me I'm here."
"Hey, wait a minute, why are you running?"
Lin Yiduo watched Gu Nianxi disappear and sighed silently.
He Jianchen pushed the door open and walked into the coffee shop. He glanced in the direction of Lin Yiduo. When he saw that Gu Nianxi was not at his seat, he looked dissatisfied at the little girl at the bar.
Just now he was preparing to go for exercise, and when he received the photo they sent him, he rushed over just to see Gu Nianxi.
I've been busy with work lately, so I can't even meet her in person, and I don't answer her phone calls.
"Hello."
He Jianchen stepped forward and greeted Lin Yiduo openly. Lin Yiduo nodded to him and looked in the direction of the bathroom.
"Thank you." He Jianchen was about to turn around when he was stopped by Lin Yiduo.
"Doctor He, I would like to ask a few questions, is that convenient?" Lin Yiduo wanted to get to know He Jianchen behind Gu Nianxi's back.
"Convenient." He Jianchen sat down opposite Lin Yiduo.
Lin Yiduo looked at He Jianchen carefully and found that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. After thinking carefully, he found the answer.
He was in the camping photo that Gu Nianxi posted a few years ago. At that time, Lin Yiduo didn't know that Gu Nianxi and Su Yuheng were together. She saw a handsome boy in a group of people who kept looking at Gu Nianxi, thinking he liked her.
people.
"Dr. He, I would like to ask, what does your family do?"
"Retail."
"Where are you from?"
"native."
"Oh, so you are the only one in your family?"
"Yes, the only son."
"Okay, pretty good." Lin Yiduo nodded with satisfaction, "Then do you live with your parents now or by yourself?"
"I live by myself and will move out when I return to China."
"That's good, that's good."
Lin Yiduo thought it would be nice if he wasn't a mama's boy, and then continued to ask about He Jianchen's personal situation.
"Does Dr. He have a history of love?"
"..."
He Jianchen didn't answer this question very simply. Lin Yiduo thought he didn't want to answer and was about to ask the next question, but he didn't expect He Jianchen to reply to her.
"No."
"ah?"
Lin Yiduo thought his answer would be two or three, or even more, but he didn't expect his answer to be no!
"Then you lied to her when you said that Nian Nian dated you in New York."
He Jianchen didn't want to hide anything, so he nodded frankly, "Yes."
"Why?"
He Jianchen looked at Lin Yiduo seriously, and then answered her seriously, "Because I want to fall in love with her."
Lin Yiduo had some doubts about his sincerity towards Gu Nianxi and continued to ask, "Do you know about Nianxi's past?"
He Jianchen shook his head and nodded again, "I know."
His answer surprised Lin Yiduo. He knew about Niannian's past? So what exactly did he know?
"Then you... know what she forgot?"
"Um."
Lin Yiduo was not sure whether it was what she thought, so He Jianchen answered her.
"It's all over. He has disappeared from Gu Nianxi's life, so the things and people she forgot are not important anymore."
"..." Lin Yiduo's eyes trembled with surprise. She never expected that He Jianchen knew about Gu Nianxi and Su Yuheng.
"You don't mind missing the past?"
He Jianchen shook his head.
"Don't worry, Su Yuheng and I are different. I'm not willing to hurt her."
Hearing him say the name Su Yuheng, Lin Yiduo was so frightened that she quickly looked back, fearing that Gu Nianxi would hear her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one behind her.
I hope you are sincere to Nian Nian and she can no longer be hurt. If you really want to get together with her, I can help you put in a good word."
"Thanks."
Gaining the support of Gu Nianxi's best friend was a great thing for He Jianchen. He happily said to Lin Yiduo, "If it works out, I'll give you a big gift."
"Sure! I hope you will treat us better."
"Okay, hold her in your hands."
"I wish you success."
Gu Nianxi had just come out of the bathroom and held her head with one hand. She looked sideways and saw He Jianchen leaning against the wall, looking leisurely and contented.
He was wearing a white shirt today, with a belt hanging around his neck looking refreshing.
"Hi, why are you here?" Gu Nianxi greeted him guiltily and took the hand off her head.
"I suddenly want a cup of coffee."
Gu Nianxi put her hands behind her back and bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.
"Then you drink slowly, I have to leave beforehand."
Gu Nianxi wanted to run away quickly, but He Jianchen held her back. He pushed her against the wall and blocked her way with his body.
The distance between them was so ambiguous that Gu Nianxi blushed immediately and could only turn her body to one side to avoid the embarrassment caused by close contact.
"Have you considered it?"
It was still the same question. Gu Nianxi had never seen a man be so persistent. She looked up at him and happened to meet his eyes. He Jianchen looked at her eyes full of tenderness. She lowered her head shyly, but he raised her head.
The two looked at each other, and He Jianchen was also frightened by his behavior. He quickly retracted his hand and stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets.
"Wherever you want to go, I will take you there."
"I'll go shopping with Lin Yiduo later. I can go by myself."
He Jianchen didn't give her a chance to refuse. He took her hand and walked out. As he walked, he said jokingly: "Don't worry, it's not a motorcycle today."
"Wait a minute, your car doesn't have enough seats for three people, so don't bother."
The two of them walked up to Lin Yiduo. Seeing He Jianchen holding Gu Nianxi's hand, Lin Yiduo thought he was a couple and said to them with a smile on her face.
"Oops! I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I have to leave first. It's very hot today. Dr. He, please send me Nian Nian."
Lin Yiduo ran away as fast as he could, while Gu Nianxi stayed on the spot, pouting angrily.
This is really a close friend!
"The problem is solved." He Jianchen looked at Gu Nianxi proudly, and before giving her a chance to refuse again, he picked up the bag on the sofa and walked out of the coffee shop with him.
After getting in the car, Gu Nianxi nervously grabbed the seat belt. This was a sequelae left to her by the car accident. She was afraid of riding in the car, and she was even more afraid of driving too fast.
I thought He Jianchen would drive the car as fast as a motorcycle, but I didn't expect that he would control the speed within forty yards, as if he was driving a sports car at the speed of an electric car.
"Thanks."
Gu Nianxi understood his intentions and sincerely thanked him. It seemed that the thing she said the most was thank you.
"Can a psychiatrist heal my own psychological trauma?"
His question was quite professional. Gu Nianxi shook her head and said, "You also need to find a psychiatrist for professional treatment."
"Oh? If you need a psychiatrist, I can recommend someone to you."
"good."
The two replied absentmindedly. He Jianchen noticed her nervousness and turned on the music.
The car drove to a shopping mall, He Jianchen parked the car and unbuckled his seat belt.
"Where to go?"
He Jianchen smiled and said to Gu Nianxi, "Eat."
"Then I'll treat you. You decide what to eat." She owed someone a meal and had to pay it back sooner or later. Gu Nianxi took the initiative to get out of the car and said, "Let's go."
There were a lot of people in the shopping mall on Saturdays. Seeing that at meal time, every restaurant was lined with people. He Jianchen led Gu Nianxi to a Cantonese restaurant. Gu Nianxi was just about to take a order when He Jianchen pulled her in by the neck.
"No queue?"
"vip."
"VIP?"
Gu Nianxi followed him into the store with a confused look on her face, and the store manager not far away ran over with a smile on her face.
"Come to eat?"
"Well, arrange a place for me."
"There is a private room, come with me."
"good."
The two of them followed the beautiful store manager and walked back and forth into the private room. When they entered, Gu Nianxi looked at the people queuing outside. Some people already had problems with them not queuing up.
"How come those two people got a seat without queuing up? We've been waiting for more than half an hour."
The greeter at the door was also new and didn't know much about this situation. When the store manager saw the situation outside, he cleverly greeted He Jianchen and the others.
"You guys go in and order, I'll take care of it." After saying that, he ran over and explained to the guests, "I'm sorry, that guy just now is our boss. He's here to try new dishes today. Please be patient and wait. Xiaoling, please come over here."
Please pour some water and get some food."
"Oh, that's it."
After the customers' dissatisfaction was dealt with, the store manager looked back at the private room and quickly made a call on his mobile phone.
