Chapter 436: True Fragrance Warning, Change for Her (Part 1)
"Old Xing——"
"ah?"
Xie Dingyuan gestured to the door: "Looking for you."
It was the waiter who had helped take the order before, standing outside with his head down, saying, "Brother Xing, a few more tables have arrived, and the kitchen is overwhelmed..."
What I mean is, let him go back quickly.
Old Xing had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
He hasn't finished chatting with the little girl yet...
"How about adding WeChat?"
Xie Dingyuan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
really--
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Okay."
"Hey! Uncle will give you a discount next time you come!" Old Xing quickly scanned it.
Jiang Fuyue clicked "Add friend" and finally left contentedly. Before leaving, he seemed to remember that his old classmate was still there and quickly added with a smile, "Old Xie, take your time eating! If it's not enough, add more! I'll deliver it myself!"
Xie Dingyuan: "..." Still coming?!
At this time, the coriander meatballs in the pot also floated up, the timing was just right.
"Do you want some?" Jiang Fuyue scooped out two with a colander and prepared to give them to him.
Xie Dingyuan replied in a muffled voice: "I'll do it myself."
If you listen carefully, you can see that it seems a bit like a temper.
Unfortunately, Jiang Fuyue was completely unaware of it. He just said "oh" and put it in his bowl.
Xie Dingyuan: “?” Why didn’t she ask me a second time?
"Hmm, it tastes really good. It's fresher than the last plate. It must have been freshly made." She took a bite and nodded in comment.
Xie Dingyuan pursed his lips slightly, and seemed to feel even more depressed.
By the end of the meal, there was almost no food left, only a few coriander meatballs floating on the soup. Jiang Fuyue felt it was a pity, but she really couldn't eat any more.
With a roll of his eyes, he asked Xie Dingyuan, "Do you want it?"
The man's eyes suddenly lit up. This time he didn't say he was here, but obediently pushed the bowl over. Jiang Fuyue followed suit and picked up the meatballs and put them into his bowl.
Xie Dingyuan took a bite: Hmm, it smells so good.
…
After eating, Xie Dingyuan went to pay the bill.
When I left the store, it was already dark and the night wind brought a bit of coolness.
"A-choo——" Jiang Fuyue rubbed his nose.
The next second, warmth covered her back and the man put his coat on her shoulders.
His hand was not hurt at all, and he stepped back consciously.
So, when Jiang Fuyue turned around to look at him, the man was already standing half a step away.
There was no transgression and the atmosphere was not ambiguous.
Because of this, she chose to accept it calmly. After all, the wind was really cold. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He was polite and gentlemanly.
But when this scene fell into the eyes of Old Xing who had hurriedly chased out, he was completely dumbfounded, with a dull look on his fat face. He was so shocked as if a pot of boiling hot pot soup base had been poured over his head.
The love-loving guy back then would now put clothes on girls?
Look at that calm appearance, rational and composed, but the little hands behind the back, constantly moving, are completely different!
"Ahem! Old Xie, wait a minute—"
A man and a woman turned around at the same time. Under the light, one was handsome and indifferent, the other was beautiful and extraordinary. They were indescribably well-matched.
Old Xing was in a trance for a moment.
Then he walked forward with a smile and slapped a few red bills in his hand into Xie Dingyuan's hand: "Here, this meal is on me. I promised the girl that I would add her on WeChat. I can't break my promise."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Xie Dingyuan wanted to stuff the money back to him, but after hearing the second half, his face darkened and he refused to give it to him.
Make you generous!
Old Xing squinted his eyes, as if seeing through his thoughts, and deliberately said to Jiang Fuyue: "Come often in the future, uncle will treat you."
Then he turned to look at Xie Dingyuan, with a half-smile in his voice, "You too, bring your niece here often. The door is open for you!"
Xie Dingyuan: "..." He wanted to poison him and make him mute.
"Gone." His face was cold and expressionless.
Jiang Fuyue said goodbye and followed.
Old Xing stood there, watching the two people walk away, smiling like a spring breeze. My heart was moved and I was humming a little out-of-tune tune.
The waiter standing at the door overheard the song: "Ambiguity makes people suffer a lot of grievances, and there is no evidence of love...I don't even have the courage to hug..."
Tsk!
On the way to the parking lot, the two walked side by side, bathed in the street lights. She was wearing his coat, and he looked at her profile out of the corner of his eye.
There was silence between them, but it was not awkward.
"...Is the hot pot delicious?" Xie Dingyuan asked.
"It's delicious. But you don't seem to like it very much?" Jiang Fuyue turned to look at him.
“It’s okay actually.”
He wanted to say: I can go with you.
Shen Qiannan, who was hit by an arrow in the distance: "?" It was a wrong decision after all.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "But just now, Old Xing said that you never go to hot pot restaurants?"
The man's scalp tightened: "...That was in the past. It's not like that now."
"oh."
As they were talking, the two arrived at the parking lot and Lao Zhang was already waiting in the driver's seat.
Xie Dingyuan opened the back door of the car and let Jiang Fuyue get in first before he bowed and went in.
They walked steadily all the way. Jiang Fuyue felt drowsy and the two of them stopped talking.
Old Zhang took a peek through the rearview mirror, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything special. He only saw a faint flicker of light when his eyes swept across the girl's suit jacket.
Half an hour later, a black Mercedes drove into Yutian Mansion.
"……arrive."
Jiang Fuyue returned the coat to him, "Thank you."
Then, push the door and get out.
Sudden--
"Are we still together tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Fuyue turned around and saw the handsome face of a man bathed in light through the lowered car window, which diluted his indifference and added a touch of warmth.
At this moment, the dark pupils looked at her, and there seemed to be light in them.
Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment and asked, "Is it convenient for you?"
Xie Dingyuan nodded: "Convenient."
"good."
"See you tomorrow."
…
That night, Jiang Fuyue finished reading two papers and went to bed early.
Before going to bed, she planned what she would do tomorrow in her mind, down to what to complete in the morning and what to continue in the afternoon.
If possible, she would like to make the schedule more compact.
But Lao Bai's speed was obviously not up to par. She was at the downstream, and every step had to be based on the data provided by Lao Bai.
The water flow upstream was too slow, so she had no choice but to slow down her boat.
It would be great if it was Xie Dingyuan, Jiang Fuyue thought, he would definitely be able to keep up...
The man who could keep up was sitting in the study at this moment, with a document spread out at his side, but his eyes were not on it. Instead, he supported his head with one hand and looked ahead blankly.
But there was nothing in front of me.
There was still a lingering smell of hot pot on the clothes, which became even stronger and more pungent in the cold and desolate night.
According to his previous habit, he would change his clothes as soon as he came home and throw the whole set into the laundry basket, but he didn't want to do that today.
It seems that if you keep the taste, you can keep the feeling.
That kind of feeling... when I walk with her, even if we don't say anything and there is a safe distance between us, my heart will beat fast unconsciously.
In the past thirty years of his life, this kind of experience has been strange and novel, and it also has a fatal temptation, attracting him to continue exploring and digging.
Xie Dingyuan felt that he had become very strange——
The hot pot I disliked suddenly didn't seem so unbearable anymore.
The habit of abstaining from getting too close to the opposite sex seemed to have been cured, but it only applied to Jiang Fuyue.
The girl whom he once disliked is now perfect in every way, attracting his attention unconsciously.
That night, Xie Dingyuan wrote in his "Observation Record of Jiang Fuyue's Suspicious Behavior":
"Because of her, I seem to have become a different person."
“But it’s not a bad feeling.”
“She’s more interesting than any research subject.”
"Should we create another 'Self-doubtful behavior observation record'?"
…
The next day, Jiang Fuyue had breakfast and prepared to go out.
Jiang Xiaodi swallowed the last bite of his sandwich, picked up his small schoolbag, and followed, holding Jiang Fuyue's hand: "I'm going with my sister."
While the brother and sister were putting on their shoes, Han Yunru stuffed a bottle of hot milk into each of them. Jiang Fuyue got a small size, and Jiang Chenxing got an extra-large size.
"Drink on the way."
The store has hired a part-time worker, so she can now go there two hours later, just in time to make breakfast for the children.
The brother and sister walked out of the door, and before they had taken a few steps, a familiar Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of them.
The car window rolled down, revealing the man's handsome face.
Xie Dingyuan glanced at Jiang Xiaodi who was holding the milk can in both hands. At the same time, Jiang Xiaodi was also looking at him.
Well...he has seen this uncle before.
He used to have a very sour face, but now it isn't so sour anymore, and he looks quite handsome. The only difference is that he doesn't smile much, so people are afraid to get close to him.
Noticing his gaze, Jiang Xiaodi couldn't help but move closer to his sister.
Jiang Fuyue patted his head and said to Xie Dingyuan, "You go first. I'll take him out to wait for the school bus."
Xie Dingyuan opened the car door: "Get in."
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
"Send him first, then go to the lab together."
It seems... that's okay.
First update, 3,000 words.
