Beichen Yi looked like he was deep in thought. He propped his head up with his palm. "I can make a bet with you."
What?
Wan Qianqian raised her head to look at him, but she was still the same as before. Beichen Yi sighed. Wan Qianqian had neglected to pretend to be innocent when he was flirting with girls. This was a sure-kill technique for girls who were obsessed with looks, but Wan Qianqian had once again neglected the expression that he had practiced many times in private.
He increased the weight of his helplessness, and sighed.
This caused Wan Qianqian to smile like a sexy model lying on the beach in summer, which made Beichen Yi's eyes light up. "Sighing really doesn't suit you. Although your wife … Sorry, if I mention something that makes you unhappy, you can stop me in time. " She paused, then continued, "Although your wife has been married to you for many years, every time I see you, I still feel like a child who hasn't grown up. Even sighing doesn't suit you."
"You mean, you are interested in me?" He blinked at her, then stood up and went back to the bar to pour a rainbow cocktail.
If Wan Qianqian thought that Beichen Yi looked like a child, then she must not have looked at herself in the mirror.
The only sense of maturity that she exuded now was caused by the color of her suit, which was so old that it couldn't be any more. If an ordinary woman put it on, she would instantly look decades older.
Bei Chenyi pushed one of the mini cocktails in front of her. "You really should go and see what other people think of you. Perhaps one day, if you dress a little more like a woman, I'm sure everyone around you will be so surprised that they won't be able to recognize you."
Wan Qianqian pursed her lips. "I don't really remember that. It's just that when I was in the company, many people thought that my gaze was scary."
"Indeed, it's hard for people to get close to you comfortably." Bei Chen Yi propped himself up on his elbows and slowly lowered his body. He stared at her crystal-like eyes that reflected the light of determination. His voice became low and slow. "Qianqian, you are very guarded against everyone. The more you hide this, the more obvious it will be to others. A person who isn't afraid of the brown thorns on the back of the hedgehog that you can release at any time must have deep feelings for you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured the pain while loving you so deeply. "
Wan Qianqian turned her head away. "Bei Chen-Yi, I told you before that we're just friends. If you keep talking about this, then I won't come here anymore."
Every time she let her guard down a little, he would talk about the topic more and more openly, as if he wanted to dissect her inner world and turn it upside down!
"Qianqian, why are you so resistant to me?" He smiled pitifully.
She thought about it for a long time, then looked up at him, her cheeks red. "I don't have the energy to start a new relationship right now. Even if I'm just being loved, I can't. I don't want to owe others. "
It was because she was owed too much by others, and she knew what it felt like.
She knew.
Bei Chen-Yi felt awkward for a moment. His confession, even if it was very vague, had never been rejected.
"Wan Qianqian, do you know how narcissistic and self-righteous you are?" He frowned at her.
Wan Qianqian immediately looked up, her cheeks even redder than before. She seemed to have misunderstood something? Oh no.
"None of the women I've confessed to have rejected me. Even if they did, they rejected me politely. They've never been as indignant as you are, as if you want to go to war the next moment. Wan Qianqian, has no one ever told you that you're too headstrong and that you have paranoia? You think that everyone in the world is born to hurt you!"
She lowered her eyes, thinking about whether she should explain it to him again.
Bei Chen Yi softly added, "What's more, I'm not interested in you at all. I just feel sorry for you, but you treat my kindness as love. Qianqian, don't you think you should explain yourself? "
Why wasn't there a hole here? Wan Qianqian really wanted to crawl into it at that moment!
Bang —
Wan Qianqian stood up abruptly, her backpack hitting the glass bottom of the round wooden table with a loud sound.
Her words were a little unclear. "Since that's the case, then my previous worries were for nothing. That's even better. I'll leave first. Go on with your work. "
After saying that, she pushed the door open without looking back and left the bar with her head down.
Bei Chen-Yi watched her leave impatiently, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Wasn't he also accepting her charity in the same way?
If he hadn't approached her with the excuse of a pitiful man who had lost his wife, Wan Qianqian would have rejected him long ago. Right now, he probably couldn't even see her face, let alone have afternoon tea at his bar every week.
Wan Qianqian pushed the glass door open and took a few steps. Suddenly, she turned around.
"Does this car look familiar?"
A black luxury car was parked across the sidewalk from the bar. After the car window was rolled up, only the people sitting in the car could see outside. Because it was daytime and the sun was blazing, the car window became the best single-sided mirror. She covered her forehead with her hands and narrowed her eyes, but she couldn't see who was sitting in the car. She just felt that it was strange that the car would appear here.
"But maybe I'm thinking too much. How could it be Gu Tanfeng? "She turned around and took a few steps. A familiar ringtone came from the flashing grass-colored backpack.
She took out a cell phone with a screen that was as big as half her hand. "Hello."
"Wan Qianqian, where are you now?" Gu Tanfeng's melodious voice, which was like a cello, floated into the ear. It was originally a very pleasant voice, but his serious aura had subtracted most of its texture, leaving only a chilling tone. "If my eyes don't need to go to the ophthalmology department, you shouldn't be in the company right now, right? Do you know what mission you have tonight? You came all the way here. Are you planning to escape? "
Escape?
Of course she wouldn't reject a mission from the company.
It was just that she had been in a bad mood recently. This place was like a place of peace in her heart. If it wasn't for him, Gu Tanfeng, giving her too much pressure at the company, would she have come here to release her stress?
