Chapter 314 Taking the opportunity to take advantage of others
As they were talking, the waiter came over, removed the empty plates in front of the two people, and served a fresh vegetable salad.
After everyone left, Xu Qingsong spoke: "Actually, I have a gift that I have wanted to give you for a long time."
"What is it?" Liu Wangxue asked curiously.
Xu Qingsong laughed at her: "How can you ask that? Do you still want a surprise?"
"Curious~" Liu Wangxue's voice became sweeter, "Mr. Xu~ Can you tell me, what type is it?"
"Keep it secret for now." Xu Qingsong remained unmoved.
But he thought, if you continue to act coquettishly, I can tell you.
"Okay then," Liu Wangxue recovered in a second, "I allow you to keep it a secret."
Xu Qingsong suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. He lowered his head, took a bite of salad, and once again despised himself in his heart.
After finishing his meal, he asked Liu Wangxue, "By the way, after you finished filming in Hengdian, did you go directly back to the courtyard from there?"
Liu Wangxue shook her head, "We have to go back to Hai City because we have a wrap-up party. We were originally planning to have a meal in Hengdian, but it's Jing Yujun's birthday in a few days. We originally planned to have a party for him, but he thought it was too much trouble and didn't allow us to prepare. Besides, the filming schedule these days is really tight, and he wants everyone to have a good rest during their break. Sister Yunxiang said that we should wait until the crew finishes filming and come back to Hai City to have a formal wrap-up party, and also give the director a birthday party."
"Then I'll pick you up then." Xu Qingsong said.
"Hmm?" Liu Wangxue confirmed with him, "You mean, you will come to Hai City from Taojia Village to pick me up?"
The end game group moved to Taojia Village, so Xu Qingsong certainly couldn't stay in Hai City. Liu Wangxue thought that after he went to Zhouzhuang, he should go back.
"Yes," Xu Qingsong nodded and asked her with a smile, "Are you touched?"
"Is this true?" Liu Wangxue was a little unconvinced, but at the same time she was a little expectant and a little surprised. "Mr. Xu, you are really too sincere in pursuing me, aren't you?"
Xu Qingsong looked at her: "Because you are worth it."
Whenever he thought about not being able to see her for many days, he felt sad and uncomfortable.
Liu Wangxue was looked at by his gentle gaze, and when she heard him say these words, her whole heart seemed to be soaked in warm honey water, and bubbles popped out with a "gurgling" sound.
——Growing up and having had two relationships, she had never heard this sentence from her "boyfriend".
Although she was looking forward to it, Liu Wangxue declined. Because she felt that Xu Qingsong's work was not easy, and sometimes he was so busy that he had to work day and night. It took a lot of time to go back and forth from Taojia Village to Haishi to pick her up, whether by car, high-speed rail or plane. This would inevitably lead to him compressing his work time, which was too tiring.
Liu Wangxue explained to him and said, "I feel your feelings, but I don't want you to be so tired. Why don't you work hard and have a good rest? Then on the day I return, you can pick me up at the high-speed rail station."
She spoke at a moderate pace, with gentle intonation and voice. Xu Qingsong felt that every word that came out of her sweet voice was like a musical note, striking at his heart one after another.
Why is she so popular? Xu Qingsong wondered.
He regretted again why he had just said "I want to pursue you". If he had confessed his feelings, could he have gone over and hugged her in his arms right now?
Ah, that’s not possible. We’re eating in the restaurant.
Alas, Xu Qingsong sighed in his heart.
He accepted her feelings and reached out his hand involuntarily, wanting to hold Liu Wangxue's.
When he touched her hand, Liu Wangxue suddenly raised it up, her expression and tone full of mischief, and she said, "We agreed that if I don't catch you, I won't let you hold my hand."
Xu Qingsong covered his chest and pretended to be hurt: "That's too much——"
Liu Wangxue smiled.
The last dish Xu Qingsong ordered was hot tea.
He made another mistake. He should have reminded Du Yunkai when he asked him to call to reserve a seat. Du Yunkai always pursued romance. The river view on the terrace plus the ambient lighting was indeed romantic, but in this season, the river breeze was indeed a bit cold.
To be honest, he regretted it as soon as the waiter led them over to the restaurant.
Now, when he saw Liu Wangxue holding the cup in her hand, he regretted it even more.
Alas, I regretted too many times today, Xu Qingsong thought.
After finishing their tea, the two of them did not stay any longer, and Xu Qingsong called the waiter to settle the bill. When he swiped his card, he looked at his wallet, which happened to have two red bills, so he took one out to tip the waiter.
"Thank you, sir," the waiter said happily, "I wish you two a happy life."
After hearing this, Xu Qingsong took out another one and gave it to him.
As they walked out of the store, Liu Wangxue whispered to him, "You are really generous."
A two hundred dollar tip! She was reluctant to part with it anyway.
Xu Qingsong smiled and said, "I can't write a letter of praise, so I can only give him a red note to thank him for his foresight."
"What about the second one?" Liu Wangxue felt that she had guessed it.
Sure enough, Xu Qingsong said as if it was a matter of course, "He blessed us."
Life is good, he likes this word very much.
When walking to the parking lot, they passed by a milk tea shop. Xu Qingsong went there to buy a cup of hot tea, and came back to put it in Liu Wangxue's hand: "Here, warm your hands."
As he spoke, he took the opportunity to put his palm on the back of Liu Wangxue's hand. Standing on the side of the road, he and she held the same cup of tea, his eyes full of concern: "Are you cold? Your hands are so cold."
Liu Wangxue coughed, looked at him with a smile in her eyes, raised the hand holding the cup with Xu Qingsong's, and said, "I suspect you are taking advantage of me, and I have evidence."
Xu Qingsong lowered his head and moved closer to her: "No, I am concerned about you. I will be very hurt if you say that."
Liu Wangxue held the milk tea cup, pulled out her right hand, and gently patted his chest: "Mr. Xu, ask yourself, how much truth and how much falsehood are there in what you said?"
Xu Qingsong held the hand on his chest and put it back on the milk tea cup: "It's 100% true, not adulterated at all."
Liu Wangxue wondered why she hadn't noticed before that he was so sweet. When Liu Wangxue's hand warmed up again, Xu Qingsong let go to prove that he was not taking advantage of her.
When he returned to the car, he opened the door for Liu Wangxue first, and then helped her fasten her seat belt after she got in. When he stood up to leave, Liu Wangxue raised her right hand and grabbed the front of her coat.
The space was not big to begin with, and Liu Wangxue did not sit tightly against the seat back this time. She even took advantage of the situation to lean forward a little.
The distance between the two of them was really close, and if either of them moved a little closer, they could kiss each other.
The light from the street lamp shone through the windshield and reflected in Liu Wangxue's eyes. Xu Qingsong saw tiny star-like dots in them.
His left hand was still resting on the back of Liu Wangxue's chair, and he maintained a bent posture. His Adam's apple slid up and down once, and with a restrained voice, he asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Liu Wangxue smiled faintly, put the hot tea in her left hand on her legs, raised it up, and took a small fallen leaf from the gap between his right collar.
She let go of Xu Qingsong's coat, leaned back, and waved the leaf in front of his eyes: "I caught a little elf."
