Chapter 167 BBQ Party

"No, I just arrived."

As Han Xi answered, he naturally pulled Fang Li's hand and held it in his palm.

Fang Li's eyebrows twitched, but she didn't pull her hand away, condoning his actions.

When people from other doors of the studio came down the stairs one after another, Lin Mo just started the car and drove away.

"Huh? Is that Mr. Xu in that car?"

The girl who was speaking was Xue Huimin, the new receptionist at the studio.

She is only two years older than Ji Tiantian, but she is already married. It is said that she got married in May this year. Her husband seems to be a programmer in a large company.

Fang Li didn't come to the studio some time ago, so she accompanied Ji Tiantian for lunch. The two have a good relationship now.

Hearing her words, Ji Tiantian looked in the direction she said.

A low-key yet noble and luxurious black car slowly drove past the two of them. With the back seat window half open, they saw Xu Fangli turning her head to talk to the person next to her.

Xue Huimin said: "Mr. Xu looks about the same age as us, but he has the ability to establish such a large studio. It's really amazing."

"Mr. Xu is really amazing."

The two watched the car drive out of the auxiliary road and merge into the traffic flow.

Ji Tiantian turned her head and looked at her and said, "Okay, everyone has left, stop looking, let's go quickly, or we'll miss the bus if we're any later."

The two walked towards the subway station in opposite directions. After walking a few steps, Xue Huimin looked back at the car that had disappeared long ago, her eyes full of envy.

-

The car was driving steadily in the middle of the road.

Inside the car.

"Aren't you going home?" Looking at the unfamiliar street scene outside the window, Fang Li turned her head and asked the man beside her.

Han Xi lowered his eyes and played with her slender fingers. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "Don't go back yet. I'll take you somewhere."

Fang Li raised an eyebrow: "Where are you going?"

Han Xi looked at her and said, "I heard from your brother that you like barbecue. There's a new barbecue restaurant in the south of the city. I happen to have some time today, so let's go try it."

"Going to have a barbecue?"

Speaking of barbecue, Fang Li's eyes lit up for a moment and her rosy lips curled up, but soon she thought of something and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"He told you I like barbecue? What else did he say?"

"It also said you don't like ginger, don't like sweets, and are allergic to cilantro."

Fang Li was quiet, then frowned: "Why did he tell you this? How much else did he tell you about me?"

"Not much."

“How much is not much?”

Han Xi: “.......” His eyes were deep and soft.

His eyes and silence mean so much.

Thinking of Xu Fangye's big mouth, Fang Li's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes. "What is the relationship between you two? Why does he tell you everything?!"

"What? Are you jealous?" Han Xi smiled.

Fang Li rolled her eyes at him. "I was surprised when we were in Hangzhou. My brother only came once when I was hospitalized, but you came whenever you had time. Even if you were busy, you would send someone to bring me food. People who didn't know you would think you were my brother. Every time I asked you about it, you said you owed my brother a favor. Just how much do you owe him that you would take the initiative to help him take care of me?"

After hearing what she said, Han Xi's eyes lit up with a smile, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Fang Li pouted her red lips lightly, "I always feel that there is something between you and my brother that you are hiding from me. Every time I mention you in front of my brother, he always tries to hide it, and now you are doing the same!"

Han Xi laughed: "What's wrong with me?"

"You don't answer the question directly!"

Han Xi: “…”

The two looked at each other for a while, and Fang Li was the first to give in.

The man's eyes were like a pair of bottomless whirlpools, dark and deep. After looking at him for a while, Fang Li felt like she was being sucked in!

Fang Li pursed her lips and said nothing.

Han Xi gently tugged at her hand and said softly, "He didn't tell me anything, just some of your daily habits and preferences."

Fang Li's eyebrows twitched and she turned her head away from him.

Han Xi sighed softly, and the smile in his eyes became even bigger: "Okay, then I told you not to be angry."

Fang Li turned around and stared at him straight in the eyes, "You speak first."

Han Xi looked at her, thought for a moment, and then spoke softly, "He told me that when you were in elementary school, you had a crush on a boy in your class. Unfortunately, that boy seemed to like your deskmate, and because of this, you almost... um..."

Suddenly there was a small hand on the mouth.

Han Xi looked at the woman who suddenly pounced on him with surprise.

Fang Li's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were slightly flustered: "This is not what he said! I don't have a crush on anyone, it's obviously, it's..."

Han Xi raised his hand, took away the little hand covering his mouth, pinched it in his palm, and asked softly, "What is it?"

Fang Li turned her eyes away without saying anything.

Just at this time, Lin Mo drove the car and turned into a busy commercial street.

Looking at the dazzling array of shops, Fang Li's eyes lit up, "We're here!"

The car parked in the parking space. Before Lin Mo could turn off the engine, he heard the sound of a car door opening from behind. He turned around and saw that his boss was the only one left in the spacious back seat.

Looking at the woman fleeing in panic, Han Xi shook his head helplessly, opened the car door and got out.

The newly opened barbecue restaurant is on the second floor of the commercial street. It is not very big, only a few hundred square meters, and has a Japanese style.

Han Xi pulled Fang Li in and Lin Mo followed behind.

As soon as Fang Li entered the store, she found that compared with other bustling and crowded stores, this one was deserted. Then she looked again and found that there was a sign hanging at the door saying that the store was under preparation and not open for business.

Han Xi said that she thought the newly opened barbecue restaurant had already opened, but it turned out that it had not yet opened.

When the three of them went in, they heard a conversation mixed with laughter coming from the other side.

"Hey, here I come."

The other party saw them first, and then a shining figure walked out from the corner of the wooden screen.

He first raised his chin towards Lin Mo as a greeting, and then looked at Han Xi and Fang Li.

"I've called you so many times, and I thought you'd stand us up again. I didn't expect you to actually come. It seems your family still has more face."

Jian Yunqi was wearing an emerald green T-shirt today, ginger casual shorts that only reached his knees, and a pair of silver high-top sneakers. His medium-long hair was neatly styled, and he looked bold and handsome, completely different from the day of the charity dinner.

Han Xi twitched his lips slightly: "What about them?"

Jian Yunqi: "Only Old Deng and I came. You guys didn't come, and the organizers haven't arrived yet."

"What's going on?" Han Xi raised his eyebrows.

Jian Yunqi smiled and greeted Fang Li, saying, "He called and said he just finished work and is on his way."

Han Xi nodded and pulled Fang Li in with him.

There are no private rooms in the store, only booths separated by wooden screens.

It's in the tatami style, but you don't have to take off your shoes.

As soon as they walked around the screen, someone in the largest booth opposite raised his hand to greet them.

Fang Li thought it was just the two of them eating together, with Lin Mo at most, but she didn't expect there would be someone else. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she still maintained a decent smile on her face.

While no one was paying attention, she secretly leaned over and asked Han Xi: "Are they all your friends?"

"Well, I'll introduce you to him later."
