Lan Xiaolan slapped Ren Tingxi's face and pushed him away: "Rogue!"
"You don't want to kiss me? Then you have to treat me to a meal!"
"Please! Of course you please! A gentleman's word is as good as gold! I'm going to go see which restaurant sells shit so late at night! Humph!"
She got into Ren Tingxi's car angrily, fastened her seat belt, turned her head to the window, and deliberately avoided looking at him.
"Tell me, little hedgehog, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as I heard about food, my stomach started growling uncontrollably.
"The snail noodles you packed last time were quite delicious. Why don't we go to that place?"
The big bad wolf heard the little hedgehog's stomach growling. Afraid that the little hedgehog was starving, he stepped on the accelerator and drove to the store.
"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling..." Lan Xiaolan's cell phone rang, and the screen with the familiar photo of the couple lit up.
"Xiaolan," it was Cai Shihang's voice on the other end of the phone.
"World Airlines."
"Are you off work? I miss you. If you are off work, I will pick you up now and take you to eat delicious food." The other person's words were doting and gentle.
"I'm off work, but I'm..." How should she say it? Should she tell him that she's in her ex-boyfriend's car and is about to treat him to dinner?
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"
"Well, I'm with Big..." He almost let it slip that he was with the Big Bad Wolf now: "I'm with a colleague. I still have some finishing work to do."
"It's so late, and you still have to work. That's really tiring. When you're done, I'll come find you and give you a good hug."
"Haha, yeah."
"Is it safe for you to go back alone so late? Do you need me to pick you up?"
Lan Xiaolan looked at Ren Tingxi. If Cai Shihang came to find him at this time, wouldn't it be like seeing a fight between gods?
"No, no, I'm with my colleagues right now. I'll come find you after I'm done with this."
"Okay, there are a lot of good movies coming out recently. Let's go watch them together and have something delicious to eat while we're at it."
"Yeah, okay, see you then."
"Yeah, I love you. Finish your work early and rest early."
"Then I'll go to work first. Good night." Lan Xiaolan hung up the phone, feeling inexplicably guilty.
She looked at Ren Tingxi, who was gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring angrily at the front.
His expression was like a boiling oil pan. Lan Xiaolan turned her head away and didn't want to look at him, fearing that saying one more word would only add fuel to the fire.
"Your boyfriend?"
"Ah? Hmm?" Lan Xiaolan was shocked and a little at a loss.
It's strange, but why wouldn't she admit it? They've been apart for eight years, and it's perfectly normal for her to have a new boyfriend.
"Is he good to you?" Ren Tingxi's voice was low and so cold that the water vapor around him was about to freeze into ice.
"Yeah, not bad."
In fact, Lan Xiaolan and Cai Shihang were in love only because of pressure from their elders. Lan Xiaolan didn't want her father to worry, so she agreed to it.
As for Cai Shihang, they had been together for more than half a year but had only met five times.
Four of the times were at gatherings of elders, and the remaining time was just a meal that ended there.
Cai Shihang treats her well, at least the two of them can treat each other with respect. Cai Shihang treats her badly, but that's not the case either.
When Ren Tingxi asked him about Cai Shihang, he didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only say "hmm".
After all, it is a bit difficult for me to talk to my ex-boyfriend about my current boyfriend.
"Ding ding ding... Ding ding ding..." After a while, Ren Tingxi's phone rang.
Ren Tingxi looked at the caller ID and didn't answer. The person calling was Lan Xiaolan's boyfriend, Cai Shihang, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"There's a phone call, why don't you answer it?"
"It's not important. And you can't answer the phone while driving."
Seeing that Ren Tingxi didn't answer the call, Cai Shihang sent him more than a dozen messages.
Ren Tingxi drove without looking. What on earth was this guy trying to do? He just called his girlfriend and then sent him a message?
Are you idle and having nothing to do every day?
They came to the snail noodle shop and ordered two bowls of snail noodles.
No one spoke, they just quietly finished the noodles in front of them.
There were many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't.
There were many things he wanted to say, but he couldn't.
There were many questions she had wanted to ask, but now there was no need to ask.
There were many things she had not said before and could not say now.
Why don't the two of them just quietly finish the noodles in front of them?
Some people are hard to meet and hard to part with.
In the end, it was Ren Tingxi who paid the bill.
"Didn't we agree that I'll treat you to this meal?"
"You invited me to dinner, and you just wanted to send me away with snail noodles?"
"I'll remember this. You'll have to pay me back slowly..."
Lan Xiaolan sat in the car and fell asleep in a short while.
Ren Tingxi slowly put his coat on her and murmured with a smile: "Don't call me Little Hedgehog anymore, call me Little Peggy. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat."
When we arrived downstairs at the B&B, little Peggy was still not awake. It seemed that she must have been exhausted from the day's work.
Ren Tingxi picked her up in a princess hug and walked towards the room in the guesthouse.
Holding her in my arms, I felt that she was much lighter. Maybe it was because of her work in the wild over the years. She was indeed much thinner than before.
Lan Xiaolan woke up from Ren Tingxi's arms when she heard the sound of the door opening.
Looking up, she once again saw that familiar face up close.
His face was as hard as a knife, with sharp edges and corners, revealing an innate confidence and majesty.
His high nose bridge stands like a mountain, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to his face.
The deep eyes are like the twinkling stars in the night, bright and mysterious, which makes people intoxicated.
"Sorry to trouble you." She shyly jumped out of his arms.
After returning to the B&B, Lan Xiaolan just wanted to take a good bath and have a good rest.
Lan Xiaolan went to the bathroom, while Ren Tingxi sat lazily on the sofa, checking the messages on his mobile phone.
Just saw the message Cai Shihang sent him.
His breathing became steady and rapid, his chest heaved violently, and a hideous smile appeared on his face, which made people shudder.
