After dinner, the two of them walked out of the restaurant and allowed the evening wind to blow gently. Jiang Xueyi's heart also became more and more comfortable.
Just as Jiang Xueyi was about to make up her mind to wave her hand to pay the bill, the waiter smiled and told her that Mr. Xi had already paid the bill.
So it was like that. Jiang Xueyi couldn't help but think that Xi Mu had gone to the bathroom during the meal. It should have been at that time that he went to pay the bill.
Who would have thought that Jiang Xueyi, who had always thought that life was not a soap opera, would actually experience such a melodramatic and romantic plot.
Although she had such an experience, Jiang Xueyi was very self-aware and knew that she would definitely not be the female lead in those bubble dramas.
This time, Jiang Xueyi felt a little embarrassed about Xi Mu paying first. But since his wallet wasn't empty, then everything didn't seem to be difficult to solve.
Haha... Jiang Xueyi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart. Of course, at the same time, she was also planning to treat Xi Mu to a meal one day. At that time, she would definitely find a restaurant that she could afford. After all, she couldn't owe him a favor for nothing.
"Hey!" What are you thinking about? "Xi Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he waved his hand in front of Jiang Xueyi, trying to call back her wandering soul.
"Ah..." Nothing. "Suddenly, Jiang Xueyi, who was in a daze, realized that the two of them had unknowingly walked to the front of Xi Mu's car, but she was still standing there in a daze, with no intention of getting on the car.
"Are you waiting for me to be more gentlemanly?" Xi Mu said naughtily.
"What?" Jiang Xueyi didn't understand what Xi Mu meant.
"Come, beautiful princess, please come in." Suddenly, Jiang Xueyi heard Xi Mu lower his voice and pretend to be the voice of those knights in the movies. Then, he half bowed and gave Jiang Xueyi a comical scene.
"Hahaha …" Jiang Xueyi smiled shyly, but she also followed Xi Mu and sat on the copilot.
After getting on the car, Xi Mu wasn't in a hurry to start it. He looked at Jiang Xueyi quietly and said unhurriedly, "It's still early. Shall I take you somewhere?"
"Sure. Where are we going?" Jiang Xueyi looked at the time. It was still early, so she agreed readily.
"You'll know when the time comes," Xi Mu said mysteriously and then started the car.
"…"
As usual, Jiang Xueyi remained silent after not knowing how to answer. She then turned her head slightly to look at the night view outside the window.
The city in front of him was much bigger than he had imagined! One by one, the night scenery flashed past Jiang Xueyi's eyes, evoking the feelings hidden in her heart.
Although she had been in this city for so many years, Jiang Xueyi always felt that she lacked a sense of belonging. Even now, she always felt that if she did not pay attention, she would be swallowed up by this huge city.
Inexplicably, as she thought about it, her thoughts returned to her encounter today. This made Jiang Xueyi, who was already sentimental, feel a trace of melancholy in her heart.
Xi Mu quietly watched the person next to him. From her slightly absent-minded eyes, Xi Mu also more or less perceived some of her emotions, so there was a trace of indescribable pity in his heart.
After a while, the two arrived at the mysterious destination that Xi Mu mentioned.
While Jiang Xueyi was unfastening her seat belt, Xi Mu had quickly got off the car and walked to Jiang Xueyi's door. As if to echo the gentleman's behavior of opening the door before getting on the car, Xi Mu was naturally waiting for Jiang Xueyi to get out of the car.
Looking at Xi Mu's polite appearance, even though it was a little awkward, Jiang Xueyi still put her fingers on the palm that Xi Mu extended to her.
"Thank you." Jiang Xueyi said a little embarrassedly, then quietly withdrew her hand from Xi Mu's palm.
Just like that, the two walked into a bar on the side of the road.
While walking, Jiang Xueyi observed the bar and felt a sense of familiarity.
"I should have been here before, right? I feel that this place is so familiar. "Jiang Xueyi said thoughtfully.
"En. If you have been here before, then think about when you came here. What are you doing here? "Xi Mu said meaningfully. He had long been mentally prepared for Jiang Xueyi's goldfish-like memory.
"Ah … Let me think …" Jiang Xueyi looked around the surrounding environment and then tried hard to recall.
Slowly, she followed Xi Mu to the seat. The moment she sat down, in an instant, the previous memories swept into Jiang Xueyi's mind.
Looking at Xi Mu who was looking at her gently, Jiang Xueyi finally realized it.
"You! It's really you! "Jiang Xueyi exclaimed in disbelief.
"Why? Don't tell me you remembered it was me before? " Xi Mu looked at Jiang Xueyi's surprised look and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he felt more or less gratified in his heart. After all, this silly girl still remembered him.
"En. Actually, the first time I saw you in President Gong's office, I felt that you looked familiar, but then you didn't mention it. In addition, after gradually getting along, I felt that you were different from that night, so I thought that you were two different people. "Jiang Xueyi answered truthfully.
"What's different? If you think it's two different people, then why did you ask me if I've seen me before when we were eating? "Xi Mu looked at Jiang Xueyi and asked the question in his heart.
"It … It feels different."
"Then, I asked you this question because I was a little nervous at the time, and then I was indeed a little curious. Because I feel that you look too similar to the person that night. "Jiang Xueyi was a little embarrassed to keep looking at Xi Mu, so she slightly shifted her gaze.
"It's the same person, how can it not be similar?" Xi Mu replied with a helpless smile.
"So, you brought me here to answer this question of mine." Jiang Xueyi answered her own question in a daze.
"Yes. Otherwise? What do you think it's because? " Xi Mu thought that he heard a hint of grievance in Jiang Xueyi's answer just now, so he answered her a little naughtily.
"No …" Jiang Xueyi stuttered and wanted to argue, but before she could say anything, Xi Mu answered her first.
"You think I'm interested in you? Is it because I can't wait to tell you that I've already met you before? Or is it purely because I want to find an excuse to stay with you a little longer? "
"…" Listening to Xi Mu's words, Jiang Xueyi was a little speechless. She admitted that she was moved by Xi Mu, but a timid person like her wouldn't directly answer those explicit questions he asked.
"Alright. Since you don't want to answer, then let me answer for you! Yes, in fact, I have … "With the help of the blurred light of the bar, Xi Mu, who had been looking at Jiang Xueyi, had long been in a mess, so much so that he almost revealed his feelings without thinking.
He didn't know if he should feel lucky, but the sudden ringing of a cell phone stopped Xi Mu's confession from leaving his mouth.
Jiang Xueyi took out her mobile phone, and then after seeing the name flashing on the screen, she made an apologetic expression to Xi Mu and went outside to answer the phone.
"Hello? Cousin, what's wrong? " After walking out of the bar, the original complex lights were replaced by the bright moonlight. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the air seemed to be more circulating.
"I heard that you were promoted to the secretary's office today, right?" Fang Ru's voice came from the phone. Inexplicably, Jiang Xueyi vaguely felt that Fang Ru's voice was a little strange today.
"En, yes. But, cousin, I … This matter is very troublesome to talk about, and it can't be explained in a short time on the phone. I originally planned to find time to talk to you alone that day. " Jiang Xueyi couldn't figure out Fang Ru's emotions on the other end of the phone, but she couldn't deny it. She didn't want to lie to deceive Fang Ru.
In fact, for today's matter, Jiang Xueyi originally planned to hide it from Fang Ru. She knew Fang Ru, so she also knew that Fang Ru, who had always been very smart, had a competitive personality. If Fang Ru knew what happened today, she would definitely feel unbalanced in her heart.
"Hehe … You don't have to explain it to me. Anyway, whether you get promoted or not has nothing to do with me. "Fang Ru's voice had an irrepressible sarcasm.
Naturally, Jiang Xueyi also noticed this.
At this time, her intuition told her that Fang Ru must have heard this from someone with bad intentions, and thus misunderstood her.
"Sister, listen to my explanation …" Jiang Xueyi said patiently and with some grievance.
"Explanation? I think you are eager to show off to me, right? That's right, with my current situation and this kind of company, I naturally can't compare with you. "
"But, I still hope that you can understand that if it wasn't for me, I think you wouldn't even be able to step into Miyagi's door." Fang Ru said sourly, and the resentment in her heart towards Jiang Xueyi deepened.
"Sister …" Jiang Xueyi was now suffering in silence, and she couldn't explain her bitterness. But no matter how helpless she was, she had to explain to Fang Ru clearly.
"Don't call me hypocritically. Aren't you tired? "
"I finally see through it now."
"Alright, I won't waste your precious time. I didn't call you for anything else today, I just wanted to tell you personally. "
"Congratulations …" Fang Ru said this sarcastically and resentfully, and immediately hung up the phone.
Jiang Xueyi immediately wanted to call back, but the other party seemed to understand her purpose, and only left a hollow sound echoing in the phone.
What could she do? Jiang Xueyi, who knew Fang Ru's temperament well, didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
