As Zhao Shijie fastened his seat belt, he asked Jiujiu in an inquiring tone, "I saw your WeChat Moments. You seem to like sushi very much. I know a Japanese restaurant that serves good sushi. Do you want to try it?"
When she first met Zhao Shijie, Zhao Shijie was in a daze. Now that he suddenly knew how to take care of people, Jiujiu was quite flattered.
Jiujiu raised her hand to stroke the hair by her ear. She tucked it behind her ear and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"As long as you like it." Zhao Shijie pursed his lips and smiled. He started the car and drove to the Japanese restaurant.
Along the way, Zhao Shijie whispered to Jiujiu and told her some of the funnier stories around him. Jiujiu's mouth never closed along the way.
The moment Zhao Shijie took out the roses, Jiujiu felt that Zhao Shijie liked her a little. However, when she saw how Zhao Shijie spared no effort to make her happy, she felt that Zhao Shijie liked her very much.
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at Zhao Shijie's side profile. Although he wasn't particularly handsome, he looked particularly calm. For some reason, she felt a sense of relief.
When they arrived at the Japanese restaurant, Zhao Shijie first got out of the car and quickly walked to the front passenger seat to open the door for Jiujiu. After holding Jiujiu's hand and helping Jiujiu out of the car, he smiled and said, "We're here. Let's go in."
Jiujiu nodded and followed Zhao Shijie into the Japanese restaurant.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the restaurant, they were taken to a private room.
Seeing that the waiter was familiar with the way to the private room, Jiujiu looked at Zhao Shijie in surprise.
It was impossible for a Japanese restaurant like this to have such service if they hadn't made a reservation in advance.
Zhao Shijie raised his hand and scratched his head. He said rather embarrassedly, "I didn't know which one you would eat, so I chose a few that you might like to eat and ordered in advance."
In other words, not only did Zhao Shijie order food at the Japanese restaurant, but he also ordered food at other places.
Not to mention anything else, just the thought of this preparation was exceptionally rare.
Obviously, Zhao Shijie had browsed through Jiujiu's circle of friends more than once. Not only did he know that Jiujiu liked to eat sushi, but he could also clearly tell what kind of sushi she liked to eat. As soon as Jiujiu sat down, he quickly ordered the sushi and drinks that Jiujiu liked to eat.
For this date, Zhao Shijie had done his homework. Both of them were particularly satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, Zhao Shijie drove Jiujiu to her apartment.
Zhao Shijie didn't drive away until he couldn't see Jiujiu's back.
Jiujiu opened the door with the key and said, "I'm back," while changing her shoes.
However, to Jiujiu's surprise, she didn't get a warm response from Ding Bo and Li Hong when she said "I'm back" today.
In the past, when she came back, she would get a warm response from the two of them. But now, she got silence. Jiujiu looked to the side with a strange feeling. She didn't expect to see someone she didn't expect to see.
Uncle Zhang.
Seeing Jiujiu see him, Uncle Zhang immediately gave Jiujiu a kind smile and greeted Jiujiu kindly. "Xiao Xue, you're back."
Jiujiu was surprised by Uncle Zhang's sudden appearance.
After greeting Uncle Zhang, Jiujiu changed her shoes and said to Li Hong, who got up to prepare dinner for her, "Mom, I just ate outside with my friends. You don't have to prepare dinner."
Hearing Jiujiu say that she had eaten, Li Hong was slightly surprised and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Jiujiu nodded. "Yes, I did."
As soon as she said that, Jiujiu's phone rang again. It was a call from Zhao Shijie.
Jiujiu answered the phone. "Ding Xue, you've put the flowers in the car. Do you want me to bring them up or do you want to come down and get them?"
In fact, Zhao Shijie wanted to send the flowers to Jiujiu. However, considering that this was their first date, he would definitely scare Jiujiu if he did that. Therefore, he chose a more indirect way.
Jiujiu was speechless.
Jiujiu looked sideways at the people who were looking at her. She pursed her lips and said uncomfortably, "Where are you now? I'll go down and get them."
"I'm downstairs in your community. Come down."
Jiujiu nodded and hung up the phone. She turned to Li Hong and said, "I left my things in my friend's car. I'll be right back."
Having said that, Jiujiu turned and went downstairs.
Looking at Jiujiu's back, Li Hong finally believed that Jiujiu had eaten outside.
When Jiujiu went downstairs, Zhao Shijie was waiting for her with a bouquet of roses in his hand. When he saw her, he immediately handed the bouquet to her and said with a smile, "Goodnight."
Looking at the bouquet in her hand, Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. "Goodnight."
Hearing Jiujiu's greeting, Zhao Shijie instantly smiled like a silly deer who had won five million yuan. He couldn't stop grinning. He scratched his head and said to Jiujiu, "Goodnight. I'm leaving."
"Be careful. Let me know when you arrive."
Zhao Shijie chuckled. "Okay, okay. Goodnight."
After watching Zhao Shijie drive away, Jiujiu went upstairs with the bouquet of roses.
When Jiujiu opened the door, everyone immediately looked at Jiujiu. Their eyes widened when they saw the bouquet of roses in Jiujiu's hand.
Li Hong was even more shocked. "Xiao Xue, who gave this to you?"
Although female friends were allowed to send flowers to each other, it was obviously inappropriate to send roses.
It was obvious that the flowers were sent to Jiujiu by the boy. Moreover, Jiujiu had a meal with the boy who sent the flowers. What did this mean? It meant that Jiujiu had a good impression of the boy.
Li Hong, who had been worried that Jiujiu wouldn't be able to find a boyfriend, was reassured. Her heart instantly sank into her stomach.
Jiujiu looked down at the roses in her hand. As she looked for a suitable vase to put the flowers in, she said, "The guy who watched a movie with me last time asked me out for dinner today."
"Oh, him."
Li Hong thought that the guy was quite nice. Now that she heard that he took the initiative to ask Jiujiu out for dinner and sent her flowers, it was obvious that he wanted to pursue Jiujiu.
Thinking of this, Li Hong instantly felt a sense of exhilaration.
No matter what others said, her daughter was amazing. She could grab the heart of anyone she wanted.
When Uncle Zhang heard Jiujiu's words, he was instantly confused. "What do you mean by the guy who watched a movie last time? Wasn't it Wang Jinyi who watched a movie last time?"
Jiujiu looked up and glanced at Uncle Zhang. She put away the flowers and said, "That time, Jiang Qiao insulted me and asked me to watch a movie with him and take intimate photos to spite his girlfriend. I was so angry that I randomly asked someone to watch a movie with me."
Uncle Zhang originally wanted to use this sentence to lead the topic to Wang Jinyi, but he didn't expect Jiujiu to directly change the topic to Jiang Qiao.
When he heard Jiujiu mention Jiang Qiao, Uncle Zhang instantly felt a little guilty.
