Let’s not talk about whether Li Xiang really knows what she is thinking?
Just listening to the words he said to her, her heart, which had endured the cold winter for a long time and was full of ice crystals, seemed to be awakened by the warm spring breeze, and it had sprouted again without her noticing.
He was shining on her like the spring sunshine, so warm that as soon as he came into contact with a little bit of the afterglow, he fell in love with this feeling without resistance.
Although he was not as naughty as his first love, nor was he as eloquent as his first love, he coaxed her into smiling all day long.
But she was really moved by how honest and reliable he looked, how attentive he was in seeing through everything, and how he showed no hesitation to her.
She knew that he was not her first love, and it would never become her first love in the end, but she was willing to regard him as her first love at the moment. Let him take the place of her first love and continue to protect her many years later.
She also knew that doing so was too selfish and unfair to Li Xiang.
But deep in her heart, she still pushed this matter to continue to develop as she expected.
At this time, because of what Li Xiang said, Muzi was looking at Zhang Ling with envy while waiting for the traffic light.
Lovers are just like them. He has already fully understood her thoughts before she fully expresses the meaning of her words.
He and she were two completely independent individuals with two different hearts. At this moment, they understood each other as if they were one person.
Muzi was not only envious, he was also looking forward to it. After his plan was successfully completed, he hoped that the person would understand his painstaking efforts.
Zhang Ling noticed Muzi's gaze, and with a bit of embarrassment, she refuted Li Xiang's words: "Who is your woman? Li Xiang, please don't talk nonsense in front of Miss Muzi."
"But you have clearly already..."
Zhang Ling didn't give him a chance to defend herself. She interrupted and continued: "Yes, I did acknowledge your identity as my boyfriend before, but I did not make you the only man officially recognized by me, Zhang Ling."
"It sounds like there is no difference!" In Li Xiang's opinion, there is indeed no difference between what Zhang Ling said.
Zhang Ling looked at Muzi smiling at the side. She didn't want to explain too much. She turned around and gave Li Xiang a meaningful look, letting him slowly understand it.
mystery!
Yes, she just wanted to create a mysterious feeling.
She clearly remembered Yan Yuan saying that men are the most fond of new things and hate the old.
I like new things because there are too many unknowns in the new world, which can easily arouse men’s interest in exploring. The more they explore, the more novel and limitless they feel;
The reason for hating the old is because he already knows the old very well. Even if a man does not open his eyes to observe, he can tell the advantages and disadvantages of the old like a treasure. Therefore, he cannot arouse any interest in the old and even despise the old.
She wants to hide the secret that Li Xiang is the substitute of her first love for a long time. She must prevent Li Xiang from seeing through her at a glance. Then what she says to Li Xiang becomes very important.
…
At the hospital, after a doctor's examination, Li Xiang prolonged the recovery time from his injury because of his impulse.
Because of his injuries, he was left at home to recuperate by a ruthless man.
When I was bored, I listened to Liu Lu’s voice message about the banquet hall.
Sure enough, as Li Xiang speculated, Li Xi only settled the bill for the originally ordered meal after Wang Li's persuasion.
Zhang Yu originally wanted to pay for the red wine he had borrowed, but because he met a wife who was willing to pay for it, he cried a lot in front of many classmates, and those classmates reluctantly agreed to the AA red wine system.
Because there was an extra bottle of wine on the wine bill that was not claimed.
Mr. Liu had no choice but to call the police. After struggling for a long time, the police finally found red wine in Cong Yun's briefcase.
However, Cong Yun was taken away because of the crime of theft. He never admitted that he had hidden red wine and kept shouting that he was wronged.
Now that the matter has come to an end, not many of the students complained about Li Xi, but the vast majority of them hated Wang Li.
Because this so-called class reunion was ultimately facilitated by Wang Li. All the classmates who came had lost money because of the red wine incident, and some were even imprisoned. Only Wang Li was "protected" by Li Xi.
"Unscathed.
Wang Li obviously didn't care about the strange looks from those classmates. In her opinion, as long as her life was going smoothly with Li Xi's help, she would be very satisfied.
Li Xiang disagrees with this outlook on life, but he doesn't want to criticize it.
What he needs to do now is to recover from his injuries as soon as possible and start fulfilling his promise to Zhang Ling.
However, what worries him now is the steward Mu who is accompanying Zhang Ling at the moment.
X ocean theme bar.
It doesn't have the hustle and bustle of an ordinary bar, but has a bit more elegance and tranquility like a teahouse.
The decoration and lighting of the bar, as well as the soothing pure music about the sea, make people feel like they are at the sea.
Although Zhang Ling didn't know why Muzi chose this place, she generally liked it here.
But she didn't forget that Muzi brought her here for a purpose.
There is never any hate without reason in this world, let alone love without reason.
It had been less than two hours since she met Muzi for the first time.
During this period, Muzi's enthusiasm seemed aimless, but Zhang Ling, who was sensitive, still noticed the deliberateness.
For example, when choosing the location of the bar, Muzi apparently asked for her opinion, but he did not choose the place she said. Instead, he used his superb language skills, which seemed forced, but made you and her feel extremely comfortable.
Muzi sat opposite her, looking very much like a concubine from a wealthy family in ancient times. She lowered her head shyly, giving outsiders the feeling that he was being coerced by Zhang Ling.
"I'm sorry! It's all my insistence on inviting you out for a drink, which disturbed the world between you and Li Xiang."
When Zhang Ling heard Muzi's gentle and humble words, she felt a little confused that she was not as feminine as Muzi.
No, she suddenly realized why she thought this way?
Looking carefully at Muzi's charming face and her softer curves, she was convinced that the person sitting in front of her was a woman.
But a strange subconscious perception made her feel that Muzi was indeed a man.
"Oh." Zhang Ling originally wanted to go straight to the topic and ask Muzi why he wanted to meet her alone, but because of Muzi's low-brow attitude, her heart suddenly couldn't be hardened, so she could only say with a smile, "Miss Muzi
, you are worrying too much. Relatively speaking, I still pay more attention to sisterhood."
"Really?" Muzi seemed very happy.
It seems that his plan to use Zhang Ling as a breakthrough point and use the identity of Miss Muzi to integrate into the female circle has achieved initial success.
"Yeah." Zhang Ling felt that Muzi's happiness was a bit inexplicable.
Muzi then took out a small black square box from his bag and handed it to Zhang Ling elegantly. He said with a hint of inferiority in his words: "A small gift for a friend. I hope you like it."
"No, this is too expensive. I can't take it. You should take it back." Zhang Ling quickly raised her hand and refused.
Just by looking at the workmanship of the gift box, you can tell that the ring or necklace inside is definitely worth a lot of money.
Zhang Ling is not one of those shallow women. She is born with pride and will never allow her to be easily corrupted by things outside her body.
Another reason why she refused to accept the gift was that she strongly felt that Muzi had impure intentions.
She was worried that because of this so-called gift, she would be forced to get involved in all kinds of endless troubles like in the movies and TV series.
Muzi slowly took back the small square box and said with a disappointed look on his face: "It doesn't matter how valuable things are, the key depends on who they give them to. Hey, you must be disdainful of being friends with me. I think I am the legendary Lone Star of Heavenly Evil"
.Destined to have no friends.”
"Miss Muzi..." Zhang Ling wanted to say something when she heard this, but she didn't know what to say after she started speaking.
Muzi continued to say with infinite self-esteem: "I have not had a female friend since I was a child. I have always lived alone in my own world. I have been suffering from depression for many years. The psychiatrist suggested that I try to open up my heart and have more interactions.
A few female friends. I thought you would be the first female friend in my life."
Zhang Ling felt a little strange as she listened to Muzi's words. After hearing Li Xiang introduce Muzi as a housekeeper, there was no reason that a woman like her couldn't make female friends. What made her even more bizarre was that Muzi would suffer from depression.
Although she felt that there were too many unreasonable things in Muzi's words, her heart still ached because of the touch of those words.
She began to regret her rash refusal just now.
"But I was wrong in the end." Muzi slowly stood up from his seat, seemingly suffering a unique blow in his life, which made him very depressed, "Okay, it's getting late. I'll see you off first.
Go home and rest."
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Ling stood up and called to Muzi.
Muzi, who had already stood up and left his seat, looked back at Zhang Ling with a sad look on his face and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Since you are going to give me a gift, how can you not let me see it first before you turn around and leave anxiously? Muzi, I think you are probably unwilling to give it to me. Humph, you still claim to treat me as a friend?
"
"But……"
"But what? You are also a woman, you don't even know what women are saying but don't speak their minds." Zhang Ling felt that what she said today was the most unintentional thing she had ever said in her life.
Muzi was delighted and put his hands in front of Zhang Ling again.
Zhang Ling slowly opened the small box with a little excitement. What appeared in front of her eyes was not a ring, earrings or necklace, but a unique brooch.
The gold material is used as the skeleton, which is twisted horizontally like a vine. The veins on several gold leaves are dotted with transparent gem particles. Two peeled pea pods are hung, and twelve chrysoprase are arranged vertically like peas.
Perhaps because she liked it so much, Zhang Ling couldn't help but wear it.
Suddenly, a slight feeling of dizziness came over me.
It seems like someone said that a brooch is the second soul of a woman. When you wear it, you will see yourself in your heart.
Muzi on the side saw the happy smile on Zhang Ling's face and said, "Well, I can see that this brooch really matches you. It seems to exist just for you."
Zhang Ling said casually: "Muzi, you are so nice to talk to! You are a bit like what Yan Yuan said, the kind of prodigal who specializes in making little girls happy."
When Muzi heard Zhang Ling's words, his expression instantly became solemn, and he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Ling noticed something strange about Muzi and was about to ask him what happened?
Muzi suddenly said: "Zhang Ling, I have a request, I hope you can agree to it."
Zhang Ling was glad that she had read it correctly, Muzi was about to reveal his purpose of confirmation.
She subconsciously took off the brooch that she had just worn for two minutes, and carefully placed it in the box as when she took it out. She looked up at Muzi and said with the same seriousness: "Tell me, whether you can agree to it or not, it depends on what you will propose."
