Ever since Li Yao left that night, whenever Liu Nian saw him at work, he would have a freezing expression on his face, as if someone owed him millions.
On Monday, Liu Nian made an appointment with Su Ke, and she planned to leave after get off work.
Li Yao arrived at the secretary's office.
"Get ready, I'm going out to a dinner party."
fleeting time:"……"
Looking behind Li Yao, there was no one there. Where was Assistant Xie?
Li Yao seemed to know what she was thinking. "Assistant Xie has something to do today and has taken the day off."
Liu Nian didn't want to go; she wasn't the only one in the secretary's office.
"Mr. Li, I have something to attend to tonight. Please have another secretary accompany you."
Li Yao didn't say anything, just watched her quietly for a while before turning and leaving.
Liu Nian didn't care about him. Every employee had their own things to do after get off work. Anyway, she had already said so. Besides, it wasn't like there was no one else but her.
She didn't care at all whether this would cause her to miss out on meeting other people who could help her career, since she didn't need them anyway.
She grabbed her bag and went out, then entered the elevator.
Su Ke stood in front of the bathroom mirror, still looking somewhat dazed as he had just woken up.
I made plans with Liu Nian tonight, and he took the day off.
Xiao Yang went to work, and now he's all alone in his rented apartment.
When Liu Nian called, she was already waiting for him downstairs at the apartment building.
Su Ke quickly washed his face, wiped it haphazardly, and looked at his clothes, which were passable.
He grabbed his phone and keys and went out.
Liu Nian's car was parked downstairs in their apartment building, and Su Ke saw it as soon as he came out.
He paused, somewhat puzzled as to how Liu Nian knew which apartment they were in.
When Liu Nian saw him get out of the car, she rolled down the window and waved to him.
Su Ke came to her car, and Liu Nian opened the passenger door for him.
After getting into the car, Su Ke asked her.
Where should we eat?
"I found a restaurant with pretty good food. Let me take you to try it."
The car left the residential area and drove in another direction.
Liu Nian's driving skills are very steady, and he drives very smoothly.
Su Ke didn't say anything more. Liu Nian occasionally turned her head to look at him and noticed that the stray hairs on his forehead were a little wet, so she thought he was hot.
"Is it hot?" she said, turning on the car's air conditioning.
Su Ke was dressed casually, in a short-sleeved shirt and loose-fitting casual pants. In the car, the window was slightly open, and the evening breeze blew in, so he didn't feel hot.
"It's not hot."
"But your hair is all wet."
"I got this on my face while washing it."
Liu Nian: "..." Okay!
Su Ke was somewhat surprised when he arrived at the restaurant.
The restaurant is small and has relatively low prices.
It wasn't that he thought Liu Nian was stingy, but rather that he was surprised that Liu Nian would know about such a low-end restaurant.
The fleeting years give people the feeling of having an excellent temperament and being extremely precious.
The restaurant was quite crowded. After looking around, Liu Nian noticed an empty two-seater table in the corner.
"Let's go over there!"
Su Ke had no objection.
After the two were seated, Liu Nian skillfully scanned the QR code to order food.
I handed him the phone and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Su Ke looked at the phone she handed him and took it.
He wasn't picky about food, so he ordered a few dishes at random and then handed the phone back to Liu Nian.
Liu Nian also ordered a few dishes and then placed the order.
While waiting for their food, Liu Nian looked at Su Ke, who hadn't said a word, smiled, and asked.
"Are you feeling very tired from your part-time job lately?"
Su Ke was scrolling through her phone to pass the time when she heard her question.
He slowly uttered two words: "It's alright."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"……Need not"
His tone was cold, and Liu Nian sighed inwardly.
Why is there still no progress in this relationship? I doubt this meal alone will be enough to improve it.
After the food was served, the two ate in silence without saying a word, and the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
After the meal, Liu Nian escorted Su Ke back home.
After arriving at the apartment building, Su Ke got out of the car.
Liu Nian didn't leave immediately, but waited for him to go up first.
Su Ke thought for a moment and then said something to her.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and I'll be inviting a few close college friends to dinner. If you're not too busy with work, you can come and have dinner with us."
Liu Nian's eyes lit up; she felt that if he took the initiative to invite her, the mission wouldn't be so bad.
"Okay! As long as you don't mind that I'm a few years older than you."
Su Ke nodded: "No, I'll go up first then. Drive carefully."
"Okay!"
Su Ke went back upstairs. For some reason, he went straight to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked downstairs.
I just happened to see Liu Nian's car leave the neighborhood.
His expression was ambiguous.
He was nervous when he invited Liu Nian, and he didn't dare to reveal his true feelings too much. He could only make a tentative invitation, thinking that Liu Nian would refuse.
He was prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect Liu Nian to agree.
His heart suddenly raced, and a feeling of joy welled up within him.
Not daring to let Liu Nian discover him, he hurriedly said goodbye and went upstairs, but a little reluctantly, he quickly looked out the window at the building below.
As he watched Liu Nian's car gradually disappear, his heart was still somewhat unsettled.
Thinking about his birthday tomorrow, he took out his phone and sent a message to his college roommates to invite them.
He had discussed it with Xiao Yang, and they agreed that he could buy the ingredients and cook at the apartment.
The guys in the dorm are all pretty close friends, so they don't care about the location, but they do care about the passing years.
