Watching Muzi's car drive away, Li Xiang could only look around to see if he could get a taxi.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw a long voice message from Liu Lu.
Probably to inform Li Xiang of the final result of the hotel banquet hall.
The car horn sounded "didi", but before I could hear it, Muzi's car came back and parked on the side of the road.
"Hey, Li Xiang, why don't you get in the car? We made a special trip to pick you up." Zhang Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, tilted her head and said to him with an indifferent expression.
"I..." He reluctantly tried to explain through his foot injury.
Zhang Ling didn't give him a chance to explain. She interrupted and said, "Hey, don't wait for me to help you. Hurry up and jump up on your own."
"ah?"
After all, they are a newly established couple.
As a girlfriend, why can't you be more gentle?
Then I thought about it, wasn't that why he fell in love with her in the first place?
That's why I acted without hesitation today and got what I wanted.
Another crisp voice also came from the driver's seat: "Ms. Zhang, he is your boyfriend. Isn't this bad?"
"Miss Mu, didn't you just advise me that men shouldn't be too spoiled? Don't worry, I believe he can do it despite his minor injuries."
He happened to jump in front of the car door and heard their conversation. Based on the principle that men cannot say no to themselves, he said:
"It's okay, Butler Mu, I can do it!"
When he thought about Zhang Linggang's expression that she believed in him, he became energized again, and he jumped towards the car with a smile.
Muzi chuckled from the driver's seat, while Zhang Ling pretended to be indifferent and took a peek to see his body's center of gravity suddenly shift significantly.
At that moment, her nervous body quickly pressed against the car door, and she had already unlocked the door with one hand, but then she saw him standing up again with his hand firmly on the roof of the car.
Muzi saw her take a long breath and said softly to her: "If you are nervous, just get out of the car and give her a hand. There is no shame in it."
Zhang Ling stared at the rearview mirror intently. Regarding Li Xiang's every move, she still said stubbornly: "Nervous? Haha, I'm not nervous. He is a grown man..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiang's figure suddenly disappeared from the rearview mirror. The back door had been opened, and he could not be seen getting into the car.
She quickly opened the car door, and when she got out of the car, she saw Li Xiang leaning over, struggling to pick up something on the ground.
"Scared me to death!" She muttered in a low voice, and walked quickly towards Li Xiang and said, "Hey, Li Xiang, why are you dawdling? Get in the car quickly."
Although Muzi didn't hear clearly what Zhang Ling mumbled, he still understood what she said as he knew lip reading.
Muzi said to himself with envy in his eyes: "I really hope that he and I can be like them in the end!"
"Okay, now. If something falls on the floor, it doesn't matter. I'll pick it up. That's it! You don't have to come over."
Zhang Ling could hear Li Xiang's tone as if he was worried about her coming.
She couldn't hold back her curiosity and worry and decided to walk over.
When she saw Li Xiang pick up the gadget, her eyes sparkled unconsciously.
"Why is this thing here?"
Zhang Ling thought she lost it on the blind date.
That's why she felt that this was all God's arrangement, which made her more determined to start over.
He was slowly getting up with the things in hand, checking whether they were damaged. When he realized that she was standing beside him, he looked up and saw her surprised expression mixed with joy. He knew that it was no longer possible to put things in his pockets.
.
He explained to her with an awkward smile: "When we first met, you accidentally left it behind. I originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to return it to you. You happened to see it today, so please return it to its original owner.
"
After saying this, he wiped off the dust on the gadget with his hands and placed it in front of her with a reluctant look on his face.
She had a flash of impulse and raised her hand to take it, but quickly retracted it.
Li Xiang thought she was worried about breaking something, so he explained: "Take it quickly. Don't worry, I just looked carefully and it's not broken."
She wanted to open her mouth, bit her lower lip lightly with her neat and white teeth, and without making a sound, she suddenly turned around and walked towards the passenger seat, stopping at the door of the car, her melancholy eyes a little more determined.
"I don't want it anymore, so you should just throw it away. Get in the car quickly and don't let Miss Muzi wait for you too long."
After finishing speaking, she got into the car decisively and closed the door.
"lost?"
He looked at the gadget in his hand and felt infinite reluctance to part with it, but he couldn't bear to openly do something against Zhang Ling's wishes as soon as they established a relationship.
Li Xiang had a vague feeling that Zhang Ling seemed to be hiding something from him, and it must have something to do with the thing in his hand.
He thought for a moment, and before getting into the car, he made a motion of throwing something far away...
As soon as he got into the car, he clearly saw through the rearview mirror a flash of nervousness on Zhang Ling's face, and her eyes escaped from the direction where he pretended to throw things.
Li Xiang was temporarily glad that his judgment was correct. This gadget seemed to be very important to Zhang Ling.
Why do you say you are temporarily lucky?
Because if Li Xiang had known in advance that this gadget was closely related to Zhang Ling’s first love, he would definitely strictly follow Zhang Ling’s words and throw it away decisively.
Perhaps the most generous man in the world will have a grudge against the fact that there is another man hiding somewhere in the heart of the woman he loves.
Because this was a stone sculpture specially made by her own hands on the "one-year anniversary" of her first love.
Beautiful colors and clever carvings, every cut and color are art.
Three colors of orange, milky white and light red Bahrain stone are used. The milky white in the middle is used for hair and hair accessories. The light red is carved to create a shy face like Zhang Ling. The orange is like a man stretching out his strong arms to hug her tightly.
Protecting him in his arms.
Let’s not talk about the carving skills of this gift. Is it a master level?
In terms of the meaning alone, no matter which girl receives it, she will think it is the most desirable gift in the world.
When she first fell in love, she wanted to use this to express that she would always be by her side, just like the stone sculpture meant to make him the only support in her life.
To be honest, when Li Xiang saw the small stone sculpture for the first time, he was first attracted by the face like Zhang Ling, and then because it contained a good meaning, he was reluctant to return it to its original owner for a while.
He thought that even if he could not pursue Zhang Ling in the future, it would still be a good choice to look at the familiar faces on the stone sculptures and think about them.
At this time, Zhang Ling seemed to have the promise of her first love echoing in her mind.
Every word, every frown, every smile, even the fusion of sweat and body temperature between the skin, exuded a deep love, as if it had just happened yesterday, and she was still intoxicated.
For this promise, she had been lying to herself for several years after her first love disappeared, saying that her first love was only leaving temporarily to fulfill the promise to her in the future.
One year, two years, three years...
Maybe in the first year or two, she wanted to believe that her first love would come back.
But the longer there is no news, no matter how rational a woman is, under the influence of sensibility, her "willingness to believe" will slowly turn into "starting to doubt", and even evolve into "complete doubt" in the end.
Although Zhang Ling herself is not sure about the extent of her "suspiciousness"?
But at least now she can be sure that she is no longer obsessed with her first love.
Her thoughts returned to reality because of Li Xiang's words.
"Butler Mu, I didn't expect you to come back to pick me up again. Thank you very much." Li Xiang saw that Butler Mu was really close to Li Xiang, so he politely thanked him.
Before answering, Muzi glanced at Zhang Ling, the co-pilot, and then said with a slight smile: "You're welcome. Mainly Zhang..."
"Ahem!" Zhang Ling coughed deliberately at this time and signaled Muzi not to mention her with her eyes.
After understanding this, Muzi changed his mind and said, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to work well for your boss, so I decided to take you to the hospital to treat your injuries first."
Li Xiang was not a fool. He saw Zhang Ling's hint clearly. He knew that she cared, so he felt warm in his heart.
"Zhang Ling, I just heard that you were coughing. You must be sick. When you get to the hospital, you can also see a doctor by the way."
Zhang Ling felt warm in her heart when she heard Li Xiang's concern, but she still said expressionlessly: "No, I don't have anyone to stand in the wind today."
"Ah?" Li Xiang suddenly understood.
It turned out that Zhang Ling wanted to use this method to retaliate against him for treating her in the same way when he was watching wind power generation.
He was retaliated against, and instead of being disappointed or dissatisfied, he felt a little excited inside.
Because he felt that the reason why Zhang Ling was like this was that her status in her heart was far higher than that of ordinary people.
"Blow the wind! Zhang Ling, is this an interesting allusion?" Muzi said curiously.
Zhang Ling looked at Muzi with a smile and said, "No, there's no allusion. It's just that Li Xiang deceived him a few days ago to go to the Nanshan Mountains on the outskirts of the city and enjoy the mountain breeze for an afternoon."
"I remember that Nanshan was bare with not much greenery, the scenery was desolate and not charming, and a lot of wind power plants had been built in recent years. Zhang Ling, you are so brave, you are not afraid that Li will kidnap you and sell you to the mountains.
, to be the wife of an old bachelor." Muzi said with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Li Xiang retorted: "Guan Mu, I don't want to hear what you are saying. Why don't you leave a woman as charming as Zhang Ling to be your wife? I'm not stupid!"
After he finished speaking, he could clearly see a happy smile flashing across Zhang Ling's face.
"Haha, it turns out that Li Xiang you have been evil for a long time!" Muzi then glanced at Zhang Ling next to him and said with a bit of worry, "Sister, I think you are a little too hasty today! For this
Those who already have treacherous intentions should carefully investigate and do not waste their lives."
"Muzi, you are right! I will." Zhang Ling agreed.
Li Xiang doesn't understand what the sisterhood between women is.
Zhang Ling and Muzi have only known each other for less than an hour, and they have already become best friends who talk about everything. Muzi, in particular, always thinks of Zhang Ling in every word she speaks.
No, he had to change the topic and let Muzi continue the topic. He might even have to persuade Zhang Ling to break up with him.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Xiang's cell phone rang again.
He recalled the voice message from Liu Lu that he had not heard before.
"Hey, it's Liu Lu who has sent news again. I think the matter in the banquet hall should be finished."
Zhang Ling heard the news in the banquet hall, and her expression suddenly became much more solemn. She felt that she was too kind to Zhang Yu and others because of her classmates' friendship.
There was a bit of ferocity in her eyes as she said, "Oh, I don't really want to know what's going on. Li Xiang, I think if you are free tomorrow, you can accompany me to the police station."
Li Xiang seemed to have guessed Zhang Ling's intention and said: "I know what you want to do? You don't need to go to the police station for this matter. I, Li Xiang, will never tolerate someone bullying my woman. Zhang Ling, don't worry! I will definitely do it."
Let Zhang Yu and others pay a heavy price for their actions."
