"Jiayi..." Ouyang Ruize suppressed the anger and excitement in his heart and deliberately asked He Jiayi, "Where are you?"
"I'm in the restaurant..." He Jiayi said, looked at An Yiran opposite, and then said into the phone, "Having dinner with a friend."
Hearing He Jiayi's truthful answer, Ouyang Ruize's heart ached even more. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you busy this afternoon?"
He Jiayi thought about it and replied, "It should be fine."
"I'll go to the studio to find you." Ouyang Ruize said that he wanted to see Jiayi and he had to see her today.
"Okay, then I'll call you after dinner, and you can go to my studio, so we should arrive at about the same time." He Jiayi said.
"Well, I'm fine now. I'll go sit in the lounge first. Let me know when you arrive and I'll come over." Ouyang Ruize said that Jiayi's studio is next to her sister-in-law's lounge, so she can go and sit in the lounge.
Wait until Jiayi returns."
"Yeah, that's fine, I'll contact you later." He Jiayi replied.
"Um……"
After hanging up the phone, He Jiayi put the phone away and said to An Yiran with a smile, "It was a call from a friend. We will meet later."
An Yiran nodded. He heard something about He Jiayi's phone call just now. It seemed to be related to her studio. It must be a work matter, right?
"Well, it seems that we will separate after this meal..." An Yiran said with a smile, "Jiayi, can I ask you out to dinner next time?"
I have a very good impression of this girl, so I want to keep in touch.
"Well, of course, I'll treat you next time." He Jiayi said with a smile. Before coming to the restaurant this time, An Yiran said that he was treating him and he didn't fight for it, so he could just treat himself next time.
An Yiran looked at the smile on He Jiayi's face and knew that it would be rude to reject her, so he nodded in agreement first.
If she insists on treating her to dinner next time, she can prepare a gift for her, so that everyone will not look more divided.
After He Jiayi and An Yiran finished eating, they separated at the door of the restaurant, and He Jiayi drove back to the studio.
After arriving at the entrance of the studio, He Jiayi did not go to her own studio first, but went to her aunt's lounge next to her.
The waiter in the lounge bar knew He Jiayi. When he saw He Jiayi coming, he walked forward happily and said, "Miss He, you are here."
"Well, my friend is waiting for me here. I'll look for him." He Jiayi said to the waiter.
Because I work next door, I often come to the lounge, so almost everyone in the lounge knows that I am He Zikai's niece.
"Okay, if you need anything, please just ask." The waiter said with a smile.
He Jiayi nodded and looked for Ouyang Ruize casually.
Ouyang Ruize was sitting in a quiet corner and did not see He Jiayi looking for him. Even when He Jiayi approached, he still sat there in a daze.
"Ouyang." He Jiayi walked to Ouyang Ruize and called with a smile.
Ouyang Ruize finally came back to his senses and looked at He Jiayi.
I saw her from a distance in the restaurant before, but now I see her up close. She is really beautiful today, with light makeup, and the clothes she wears match her makeup and hairstyle today. She is so beautiful.
"Well..." Ouyang Ruize stood up and continued, "Let's go, let's go to your studio."
I have something to say to Jiayi, and I can't wait to see her now, but this is a public place, so it's not appropriate!
"Yeah." He Jiayi nodded, and then left the lounge with Ouyang Ruize.
Today is Saturday and no one is working in the studio, so He Jiayi took the key and opened the door before going to turn on the lights.
But before He Jiayi could reach the switch, her arm was grabbed by Ouyang Ruize.
Ouyang Ruize grabbed He Jiayi's arm, and with a sudden force, he pulled He Jiayi into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Ouyang, you..." He Jiayi was frightened by Ouyang Ruize's action.
The first floor of the studio is an exhibition hall, but the curtains on the display windows had been drawn down when I got off work yesterday afternoon, so you couldn't see the inside outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Only a little light came in through the gaps in the curtains.
"Are you going on a blind date today?" Ouyang Ruize, who was also very tall, asked after holding He Jiayi in his arms and looking down at her.
"Well, grandpa and grandma arranged it for me." He Jiayi answered truthfully.
"How is that person?" Ouyang Ruize said, his face already darkened, and his tone was not very good.
Because the lights were not turned on, He Jiayi could not see Ouyang Ruize's face. Listening to his voice, she could only answer truthfully, "It's... not bad."
An Yiran's impression of himself was pretty good. He was a very gentleman and a man who took good care of others.
Hearing He Jiayi's answer, Ouyang Ruize felt even more panicked and continued to ask, "So, do you plan to be with him?"
He Jiayi thought about Ouyang Ruize's question and replied, "Not necessarily. Today is the first time we meet. Let's get to know each other later. If..."
Before He Jiayi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ouyang Ruize.
"Jiayi, I love you." Ouyang Ruize said with a firm tone.
"..." He Jiayi's head suddenly short-circuited. He...loves herself?
"It's been so long and you haven't noticed?" Ouyang Ruize asked He Jiayi. Didn't she notice at all that he often came to see her and paid for what she did?
He Jiayi shook her head and answered Ouyang Ruize.
I really didn't realize it. I thought Ouyang was just caring about me, helping me, and being kind to me from the perspective of a friend. I never thought... that he did this to me because... he loved himself.
Due to the lighting problem, Ouyang Ruize could not see He Jiayi's face clearly, but he could still see her nod and the faint outline of her face.
"Who do you choose between me and that man?" Ouyang Ruize asked domineeringly.
She must make a choice. If she chooses herself, she will not be allowed to associate with that man in the future, let alone go on a blind date. She will give her all the happiness and care she wants, love her, and pamper her.
She can do better than any man.
"..." He Jiayi was a little confused and didn't know how to answer.
The man didn't understand it yet, and he only now knew Ouyang Ruize's intentions for doing so much for him. He hadn't fully accepted these facts in his mind, and he couldn't answer it.
Ouyang Ruize waited for a long time but didn't hear He Jiayi's answer. He felt a little nervous and asked again, "You choose him?"
I was a little looking forward to her answer, but I was also a little scared, fearing that Jiayi would really choose that man. The blind date introduced to her by the old man and the old lady of the He family would definitely be good. At this time... I really didn't have any confidence in my heart.
