Chapter 312 Chapter 314 The Girl Next Door
Seeing that Wang Qirui and Xia Kai still had no intention of picking up the booklet, the waiter said, "If you two voluntarily give up this benefit, our store will certainly not force you." He smiled and bowed, reached out to pick up the booklet, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice came from behind.
"Xiao Rui, is that you?" There was a hint of hesitation, a bit of surprise, and endless expectation in the voice.
Wang Qirui looked up and saw a beautiful woman wearing a sleeveless pink cheongsam that exposed her legs, holding an exquisite wine jug, standing timidly in front of the table.
The waiter looked at the beautiful woman, then at Wang Qirui, said nothing, smiled slightly, and left.
The person who spoke was of medium build, a little thin, with delicate facial features, not particularly outstanding, but with fair skin, long legs, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and charming eyes. When she looked at people, she was affectionate and had a timid and pitiful temperament.
At this moment, she seemed to have confirmed that Wang Qirui was the person she knew, and her expression was full of excitement.
Wang Qirui did not stand up, and his expression was a little subtle.
"Xiao Rui, I'm Sister Miaomiao who lives next door to you! Don't you recognize me?" The woman said as she glanced down at her clothes and the wine jug in her hand, and her mood became depressed.
In fact, Wang Qirui recognized Che Miaomiao at a glance, and even remembered her when he heard her voice.
Che Miaomiao is two years older than him and the same age as his brother. She is pretty, has excellent grades, and has always been the child of other people's families in her parents' eyes. When he was a teenager and had vague fantasies about the opposite sex, Wang Qirui secretly thought that he would find a girlfriend like Sister Miaomiao in the future.
"I know her, of course I know her. Um, Sister Miaomiao, do you work here?" Seeing her sad, Wang Qirui was a little at a loss, and blurted out this sentence in panic.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Wang Qirui also reacted immediately and realized that he had said the wrong thing, and kicked Xia Kai's foot under the table.
"If it's convenient for this lady, please sit down and talk," Xia Kai said with a light cough to smooth things over.
"Yeah." Che Miaomiao agreed, looked at Xia Kai gratefully, and sat down.
"Xiao Rui, I didn't expect that I could see you again in my lifetime. This is so great." As Che Miaomiao spoke, her eyes turned red, and her dark eyes were instantly filled with moisture and sparkling.
"Sister Miaomiao, I'm happy to see you too." Wang Qirui grinned and said with a happy smile.
"Xiaorui, when you were a child, the adults in your family said that you would have a bright future when you grew up. Sure enough, the adults were right!" Che Miaomiao looked at Wang Qirui with admiration.
"Sister Miaomiao, please stop praising me. I'm a former soldier who changed jobs to work as a security guard. What future do I have?" Wang Qirui said with some embarrassment.
His brother only went to an ordinary university, but was treated very highly by his parents. However, because the tuition for his brother's university was relatively expensive and his parents felt it was stressful to support two students, he joined the army before he even graduated from high school.
After he was discharged from the army, his parents used the resettlement fee paid by the army to repay the debt owed by his brother for buying a house. As he had no academic qualifications and no work experience, he ended up working as a security guard in a high-end residential complex. The salary was not low, but it was not a good one to say. When he returned home, he could even feel the obvious disgust on his parents' faces.
Wang Qirui wanted to go home very much. Besides being really worried about the safety of his parents and brothers, he also had a desire to show off in front of them and impress them.
"Xiao Rui, those who dare to kill monsters are capable men and true heroes. Judging from your aura, you must have killed many monsters, right?" Che Miaomiao looked at Wang Qirui eagerly.
"Haha, this can be seen. We have killed quite a few monsters along the way from Chongzhou." Wang Qirui smiled with some pride.
In the following conversation between the two, Che Miaomiao was doing most of the talking. There were mainly two themes: praising Wang Qirui for his ability and feeling sorry for herself. She looked at Wang Qirui with admiration and respect, and her words implied that she wanted Wang Qirui to take care of her because of their old acquaintance.
Seeing the two of them chatting more and more enthusiastically, Wang Qirui was gradually tricked by Che Miaomiao. When Che Miaomiao heard that Wang Qirui planned to go home to see his parents and might go to Beijing with the team, her expression suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Che Miaomiao took the initiative to mention her job, repeatedly explaining that she only sold wine and did nothing else, that she was paid very little, and that she missed her family very much. If she could go home and reunite with them, she would die without regrets.
"Xiao Rui, since you are going home, can you take me with you?" Che Miaomiao seemed to be afraid that Wang Qirui didn't understand, so she didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Seeing that Wang Qirui was about to speak, Xia Kai stood up and said, "Arui, I'm going to the toilet." As he said this, he secretly pulled Wang Qirui.
The two of them had a close relationship, and Wang Qirui understood Xia Kai's hint. Before Xia Kai left, Wang Qirui smiled apologetically, "Sister Miaomiao, you can eat whatever you want, I have to go too."
"I haven't eaten yet, why did you call me out?" Wang Qirui cleared his throat and looked around, as if to make sure there was no one around!
However, Xia Kai saw a hint of guilt on his face.
"Wang Qirui, is this the white moonlight of your youth that you mentioned?" Xia Kai said to Wang Qirui.
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I tell you that!" Wang Qirui retorted subconsciously.
"No matter if this girl is your white moonlight or your beloved one, you cannot agree to the request she just made. Think about how to reject her quickly?" Xia Kai said seriously.
"That's not good. I was ready to agree to her." Wang Qirui retorted.
"Arui, have you forgotten what Sister Rong said before you set off?" Xia Kai asked Wang Qirui coldly.
"But I can't just ignore her. She lives next door to mine and we have been playing together since we were young. I have to go home anyway, so I can take her with me. It's just a matter of convenience and not a big deal." Wang Qirui said after hesitating for a moment.
"Arui, Sister Rong has made it very clear before we set off. We are here to survive, not to do charity. We don't want to bring any burdens. If anyone has different opinions, they can leave at any time. What does Sister Rong mean by this? Don't you understand yet?" Xia Kai emphasized to Wang Qirui anxiously.
"Brother Ming is just an ordinary person. He says he can make weapons, but the weapons he makes are not as powerful as the whip in my hand. He is not an indispensable talent. Sister Miaomiao can cook and clean, so she can help." Wang Qirui thought of Che Miaomiao's expectant and admiring eyes, and argued unconvinced.
A reader friend mentioned earlier that he felt they were going to part ways. Haha, that's really perceptive.
