Chapter 22 Can you... stop hating me? He said he secretly had a crush on...
The restaurant Xiao Zhier chose was on the first floor of Shaocheng Commercial Center. The restaurant had an exceptionally beautiful small courtyard with several open-air tables, and the seats for two people were arranged on the outside.
There are several small fences arranged in an orderly manner in the yard, and the vines of peonies climb up along the fences. The delicate flowers are large, gorgeous, and fragrant, blocking the way behind, creating a quiet little corner.
It was a sunny day. The autumn sun was not as scorching as in midsummer. The golden light flowed freely on the table, and the white porcelain plates were flashing a soft halo.
"Xu Ze?"
As Xiao Zhier opened the menu, he heard a surprised female voice.
Um?
Xiao Zhier's hand that was flipping through the menu paused slightly. He looked up quietly and saw a tall girl with long hair outside the flower wall courtyard looking at Xu Ze with a little surprise.
Xu Ze accidentally dropped his knife and fork just now. He just asked the waiter to change the cutlery, and before he returned to his seat, he was stopped by someone.
He looked in the direction of the voice, and when he saw who it was, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of well-hidden boredom in his eyes.
It’s so annoying that someone comes to disturb his date with Brother Xiao again.
But even if he thought so, the girl opposite was just greeting someone she knew, so Xu Ze did not show any impatience. He nodded politely: "Lin Hui."
Lin Hui?
Xiao Zhier sat up straighter, closed the menu in his hand, raised his eyes and stared at Lin Hui for a few seconds through the cover of the beautiful peony petals beside him.
The youngest daughter of the Lin family in Yuecheng.
The last time Xiao Zhier went home, he seemed to have heard that a girl from the Lin family had come to Shaocheng to develop. Although the relationship between the elders of the two families was close, since it had nothing to do with him, he was too lazy to pay attention.
I just didn’t expect to meet Lin Hui today.
and……
Xiao Zhier raised his hand and placed it under his chin thoughtfully, narrowing his eyes slightly.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the atmosphere between the two people seemed weird.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Hui stared at Xu Ze for a few seconds before taking a step forward and asked him with her head tilted playfully.
Xu Ze waved the cutlery in his hand at her: "I came here to eat with my friends."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction of Xiao Zhier, and waved with a smile at Xiao Zhier who was looking at him.
When Xiao Zhier saw Xu Ze's actions, he lowered his eyes calmly, hiding the inquiry in his eyes, then he calmly stood up and walked to Xu Ze's side.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, his eyebrows curved: "Hello, Miss Lin, my name is Xiao Zhier."
Lin Hui didn't speak for a while. She followed Xu Ze's gaze and the moment she saw Xiao Zhier, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Hui's eyes uncontrollably.
When Xiao Zhier came closer and spoke, the strange look in Lin Hui's eyes became even more intense.
The scent of peonies lingered around the young man who was walking slowly. The sweet fragrance was lingering but not dissipated, sweet but not greasy, just like honey melted in water meeting iced lemon juice, refreshing and sweet.
Even God has a special preference for good-looking people. When Xiao Zhier stood up, the leaves were blown by the wind, and the sunlight fell through the vines. Tiny petals of unknown species came in the air with the wind, brushed past his eyes, and fell into Xiao Zhier's hair.
Even the flowers stay for him.
Xiao Zhier's voice rang in her ears, and Lin Hui came back to her senses from a trance. She stared at the hand that Xiao Zhier extended to her for a second before she suddenly reacted.
Lin Hui hurriedly reached out and held Xiao Zhier's hand, her face slightly flushed because of her impoliteness.
In order to cover up her embarrassment, she coughed lightly and started to talk for no reason: "I seem to have seen you somewhere before, you look a little familiar."
Xu Ze was displeased when he heard this. What Lin Hui said was too much like what was recorded in those outdated pick-up lines.
He silently took a half step forward and pushed himself between Xiao Zhier and Lin Hui.
There was a hint of teasing in Xu Ze's voice, but his eyes were filled with depression: "Lin Hui, your way of chatting up is too old-fashioned. My brother doesn't like this kind of old-fashioned talk."
Lin Hui glared at him in reproach: "You are the one who is chatting me up."
As she said this, she raised her hand to tuck her scattered long hair behind her ears. When her fingertips accidentally touched the tip of her ear, Lin Hui realized belatedly that her ears were already so hot.
Lin Hui was so embarrassed that she didn't care about Xu Ze's expression at all, but Xiao Zhier saw it clearly.
The smile on Xu Ze's lips froze, obviously because he was too concerned about Xiao Zhier, so Lin Hui's action of talking to Xiao Zhier easily touched his sensitive nerves.
Xiao Zhier curled his lips slightly, he raised his hand and gently placed it on Xu Ze's arm, his fingertips hanging on the inside of Xu Ze's forearm, he gently hooked it, and then pulled it back.
Xu Ze held his breath quietly the moment Xiao Zhier's hand touched his arm. The subtle touch of his fingertips sliding across his skin was as heavy as a drum to Xu Ze, making him feel as if he was floating.
At this time, even if Xiao Zhier wanted to make some excessive demands, Xu Ze would probably agree to it without hesitation, not to mention that his teacher Xiao didn't say anything and just wanted him to take a step back.
Xu Ze couldn't help laughing. He obediently retreated to Xiao Zhi'er's side, and saw Xiao Zhi'er nodding to Lin Hui in a gentle manner: "I traveled with my grandfather three years ago and met your father in Yuecheng. I think the impression he left was from that time."
As Xiao Zhi'er spoke, he patted Xu Ze's arm naturally: "You said you were hungry, go order some food first. I'll chat with Miss Lin for a while."
Lin Hui was not a person who didn't know what to do. She waved her hand quickly when she heard it: "I was just passing by. I called Xu Ze when I saw him. I also made an appointment with a friend later. Mr. Xiao, you guys should go eat first. We are all in Shaocheng. We can get together again when we have time."
Xiao Zhier frowned slightly, and looked at Lin Hui with some hesitation. Lin Hui immediately smiled and nodded.
"I'll chat with Miss Lin for a while..."
Xiao Zhier opened the menu again and just took a glance when he heard Xu Ze's sarcastic voice from the opposite side.
Xiao Zhier looked up and saw that there was no dissatisfaction on Xu Ze's face, but his fingers holding the glass were clenched tightly on the wall of the glass, almost breaking it.
So this person just listened to him and came back to sit down obediently, but was actually secretly sulking?
Xiao Zhier laughed. He stared at Xu Ze for a few seconds. Seeing that Xu Ze had no intention of continuing to talk, he just laughed and continued to look at the menu with his head down.
Now Xu Zeke was panicked.
Seeing that Xiao Zhier ignored him, he stared at Xiao Zhier blankly. Seeing that Xiao Zhier had no reaction, Xu Ze thought for a few seconds and coughed twice very deliberately.
Xiao Zhier had sharp ears. He heard Xu Ze coughing, and he knew exactly why he was coughing, but...
Xiao Zhier flipped a page of the menu, and the smile on the corner of his lips was hidden by the shadow cast by the turning of the wide pages.
In relationships, everyone has little emotions. If one party keeps giving in, it is easy to accumulate negative emotions.
Therefore, even though Xiao Zhier thought Xu Ze’s little emotions were extremely cute, he still wanted to control this boundary slightly.
Xiao Zhier's little abacus was clattering in his mind, and Xu Ze was completely numb.
Xu Ze's reason told him that he should apologize to Xiao Zhier as soon as possible, saying that he did not mean to ridicule him, that he was just jealous and envious, and that he had dark thoughts and did not want anyone to get close to Xiao Zhier.
She said that she had been secretly in love with Xiao Zhier for ten years.
But he couldn't utter a word.
Xu Ze only felt his teeth clenched. He was so frightened that he didn't know how to express himself. He even wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Zhier, but he couldn't control his fingers.
It's really ridiculous. He is a doctor and his hands are his most important weapon. Now he can't even control his hands.
Xu Ze only felt that his soul seemed to be divided into two, one was brainstorming how to save the body, while the other had a blank mind, but unfortunately, it was the latter that dominated the body at this time.
He was wrong.
Xu Ze thought so.
He and Xiao Zhier had become more and more familiar with each other during this period, and they were no longer as cautious and distant as before when communicating. Xu Ze was not a fool, he could see that Xiao Zhier was close to him.
Xu Ze secretly asked Xu Censheng, Xiao Zhier had never been so almost unconditionally tolerant of someone before.
It was hard for him not to wonder whether Xiao Zhier was really going to accept him?
But at this moment Xu Ze suddenly realized that he was not Xiao Zhier's lover.
If you really try to distinguish the relationship between the two of them, you will find that they are just ambiguous partners, but ambiguous partners... in a sense, are no different from ordinary friends.
So in the final analysis, he was just relying on Xiao Zhier's tolerance towards him.
However, he only realized this now.
At this moment, Xu Ze felt something slightly hot pressed against his lips. He licked his lips subconsciously, and a sticky, salty and fragrant soup mixed into his mouth.
Xu Ze was stunned.
He looked up blankly.
Xiao Zhier supported his chin with one hand, with a fork in his hand sticking a piece of beef into Xu Ze's mouth. Seeing that Xu Ze had finally come back to his senses, he smiled as if nothing had happened: "Has our little deity who was wandering in the sky finally come back to his senses?"
Xu Ze's lips moved slightly. He was about to speak when Xiao Zhier smiled and pushed his fork forward: "I think the red wine braised beef in this restaurant is pretty good. Do you want to try it and see if you like it?"
Xu Ze's mind was in a mess. He subconsciously followed Xiao Zhier's instructions and chewed a few times before nodding: "It's delicious."
Xiao Zhier curled his lips, lowered his head and took a bite. The complex aroma brought by the spices mixed with the aroma of red wine permeated every texture of the beef, filling his mouth with fragrance.
Xu Ze's thoughts were in a mess. He was not in the mood to eat at all. His mind was filled with anxiety and fear.
But he also knew that no one would like a person who was full of negative energy.
Xu Ze took a deep breath, stared at Xiao Zhier closely, and whispered: "Brother Xiao, I know I was wrong, can you... stop hating me?"
