She knows
Song Yu saw that he looked down at the slippers on his feet calmly, then raised his head and said calmly, "I was in a hurry and forgot to change."
"Oh, really?" Song Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "But I remember you were at my house when I left. How come you're here again all of a sudden?"
"I came here on a last-minute appointment with a friend." Xu Qiao put one hand in his pocket and glanced at the silent counterfeit standing next to him. "Who is this?"
Song Yu followed his gaze and glanced back, "A friend I knew a long time ago."
"...won't you introduce me?"
At this moment, the man seemed to react. He stepped forward and extended his hand. "Hello, my name is Xue Ziyan, and I'm...Song Yu's friend."
The person he wanted to introduce was Xu Qiao, but at this moment he didn't show any intention of shaking hands. He put his hand in his pocket without taking it out. Xue Ziyan didn't feel embarrassed and took his hand back. He turned to Song Yu and said, "Let's go after we finish eating."
Song Yu nodded, but was stopped by a strong arm that stretched out from the side, "Wait a minute."
"What are you doing?" Song Yu looked down at the arm, his face showing no expression but he was laughing in his heart.
"He's lying to you. This man is a liar."
"What are you talking about?" Seeing the anxiety in Xu Qiao's eyes, Song Yu's mouth curled up a little. She pointed at Xue Ziyan and said, "What did he lie to me about? How do you know he was lying to me?"
Xue Ziyan, who was standing innocently by the side as a part-time extra, said, "..." No, we agreed to just make a cameo appearance, how did I become a liar?
But he never spoke unless necessary, so Xue Ziyan kept his mouth shut and ate melon, trying to use his superb eye skills to add some drama to himself in this chaotic battle.
"......" Their conversation for half an hour just now had nothing to do with the sanatorium. They were just talking about ordinary things. Xu Qiao couldn't find any fault with it even if he wanted to.
Seeing that Xu Qiao still refused to confess, Song Yu turned cold and pushed his arm away, ready to leave. "If you can't tell me, don't block my way here."
At this moment, two uniformed police officers suddenly walked into the restaurant entrance. The waiter standing at the door quickly greeted them, "Officer, why are you here? What can I do for you?"
The police inspected the restaurant. It wasn't peak dining time, so there weren't many people sitting around. There were two tables in the corner. "We received a report that someone was committing fraud here. Who is the person who reported it?"
Report a crime? Who reported it? Fraud? What kind of fraud? Song Yu's brain froze the moment he saw the police coming.
"I'm the one reporting the case," Xu Qiao said, pointing at Xue Ziyan, who looked calm and composed as he waited for the end of his shift. "Officer, this person is pretending to be someone my friend knows and trying to defraud her of her money. This kind of person is definitely a repeat offender online, and they might even have a criminal record with you. I suggest you investigate him thoroughly."
What? Xue Ziyan's calm face instantly cracked. Looking at the police who were already staring at him, he waved his hands incoherently, "No, I'm not, comrade police officer, I didn't mean to cheat her of her money."
Xue Ziyan said as he looked at Song Yu for help, "Hurry up and explain this to the police."
"Comrade police officer, he is indeed not that person. You have misunderstood him." Song Yu explained with a forced smile on his face.
"No, comrade police officer, my friend was deceived by this person. He was just asking about the bank card."
Regarding the three people's different statements, the two police officers looked at each other and said decisively, "All three of you come back to the station with us."
It was already dark when they came out of the police station. Song Yu paid Xue Ziyan the money and even gave him a little extra as compensation for his emotional distress. When he sent him to the car, he felt like he was about to break down and sobbed. "I never thought that as an honest citizen, I would be taken to the police station as a fraudster one day."
Song Yu smiled awkwardly, "Wow, a new life experience has been achieved, don't you think it's quite interesting."
In response to her, Xue Ziyan quickly clicked to receive the payment and then got into the car without looking back.
"......" This damn kid, he was rushed out of the police station before he could do anything. Song Yu cautiously glanced at the man standing next to him, whose facial expression could not be seen clearly.
I complained in my heart, now that I have the moral high ground, I can only lie on the ground and be ridiculed.
Although Song Yu thought so in her heart, she was actually very unsure. Just now at the police station, when Xue Ziyan finished saying that he was invited to act, she glanced at Xu Qiao, and at that moment she knew that she was finished.
"Song Yu."
She shuddered all over, "Here it comes." It's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
"What are we having for dinner?"
"Eat...eh?" Song Yu turned around and asked in surprise, "What did you just say?"
She saw Xu Qiao's eyes lift up from the shining phone screen, and he looked at her patiently and said again, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"I'm not hungry."
"I'm hungry."
Song Yu then remembered that after all the commotion, Xu Qiao probably hadn't even had time to eat, and he also had stomach problems.
Xu Qiao's eyes shifted back to his phone. "There's a beef hotpot restaurant nearby. Let's have that."
She felt so guilty now that she didn't dare to say no.
"Okay, that's all, thank you." Xu Qiao handed the menu back to the waiter who took the order.
"Hey, wait, could you please add some Tremella soup, thank you." Song Yu said.
Xu Qiao looked up at her, only to see her give an awkward smile. "They say this is good for your stomach."
"Come sit next to me."
"Hey." Song Yu's face lit up with joy, and he finally paid attention to her.
She ran to sit next to Xu Qiao, but when they started eating, Xu Qiao didn't say a word to her. Song Yu looked down and saw the meat in her bowl. He asked her to sit next to him just to make it easier for him to pick up some food for her. . . .
The chopsticks in her hand picked up the meat intermittently. She was not hungry at all. Her eyes flickered to the white fungus soup on the table. It had been sitting there for such a long time and she hadn't touched a single bite.
If she doesn't want to drink it, then she can drink it. It can't be wasted. Thinking of this, she reached out to take the Tremella Soup next to Xu Qiao, but her fingers were stopped at the moment they touched the edge of the bowl. "?"
She looked at him in confusion, and Xu Qiao said calmly, "If you want to eat more, I'll order another one for you. This one is mine."
"I saw you didn't move much, so I thought you didn't want to drink."
"I want to drink."
The hand that was grabbed was held for a long time before being released. Song Yu took back his hand and picked up the chopsticks to pick up food for the person. "Then drink more. It's my treat, don't hesitate."
During the meal, Song Yu thought many times that Xu Qiao wanted to tell her the truth, but he always stopped talking in the end, which made Song Yu feel very nervous and excited, like riding a roller coaster. Being beheaded was not scary, but the time of waiting for the sword to fall was scary.
After finishing their meal, the two of them came out of the restaurant. Song Yu raised her phone to hail a taxi, but a hand reached out from the side and covered her phone. "There's no rush now. Let's walk back."
Although she was puzzled, Song Yu still did as she was told. She put away her phone, and the two of them strolled to a nearby artificial lake.
The night wind was very cool. The two people walked along the lakeside. This was probably a common walking area for nearby residents. The small lakeside was extremely lively with people coming and going.
There are vendors setting up shining headlights on the roadside to illuminate their colorful goods displayed on the ground. A few flying insects by the lake fly towards the lights and cast star-shaped shadows on them. There is a traditional balloon-shooting game. Rows of colorful balloons are stuck to a board with double-sided tape. Customers shoot the balloons with guns. If they successfully shoot a certain number of balloons, they will get gifts from the stall owner.
Most of the people around the stall were children around 10 years old and their parents standing nearby. Few adults went there to play. Song Yu had been following Xu Qiao around the stalls, so she expected the same thing this time. But just as she was about to pass the stall, someone next to her said, "Do you want to play this?"
"Hmm?" Song Yu leaned over to take a look. She only knew about this kind of game but had never played it before. "Sure, I've never played it before."
“I have.”
Why did he suddenly start showing off? Song Yu looked at him, wondering if this was the time to praise him.
"Then let's have a competition to see who can hit the most. The winner can ask the loser two questions, and the loser must be absolutely honest."
“…” It was obvious that he didn’t want her to win.
"Okay then." Song Yu nodded. It was her fault. It was just two questions, not a loss of flesh.
They stood in front of two balloon walls, and the distance between their aim and the target was no more than 2 meters. Song Yu suddenly felt confident. It turned out that if it was so close, it was still uncertain who would win or lose.
There were 30 shots in total, and they played 3 rounds. Each round ended in failure because Song Yu missed the target and hit the balloon board.
"..." Looking at the densely packed bullet holes on the board, Song Yu's face went numb. She guessed that even the boss was worried that the bullet holes would cause the entire board to rot. "Boss, another round, please."
She just doesn't believe it.
A hand reached out to stop the boss from reaching for the new pistol, "Wait a moment."
"Are you trying to cheat?" Xu Qiao put down the □□ in his hand, as if he had expected it.
"I......"
"Can."
"One more round."
The next round was 10 bullets. Song Yu hit the first bullet, and then the second, third, and fourth bullets. She hit all five bullets. She put down the gun and turned around to show off to Xu Qiao, but she only saw Xu Qiao's profile staring at the balloon board with concentration and seriousness.
So serious, exactly the same as the urgency in her heart at the moment.
When Xu Qiao mentioned the bet, she wanted to win. She wanted to use these two questions to make Xu Qiao confess everything to her. Xu Qiao also knew what she wanted to do, but he was not going to let her win now.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Song Yu looked at Xu Qiao's serious profile again and suddenly felt a little dazed. Even if she won this battle, would Xu Qiao still not confess to her? Was it because he had never intended to tell her the truth from the beginning, which was why he hadn't said anything during the meal, and even now he was betting with her on something she was not good at.
There were five bullets left in the gun. She shot at the balloon board in a deflated manner, then put down the gun and sat aside waiting for the boss to count the number. In fact, this step was completely unnecessary. She could see with her naked eyes that she only hit one of the five bullets. Even if she used this round as a bet, she would not win.
After a while, Xu Qiao also put down his phone and sat over. "You win."
Um?
Song Yu turned around in shock, and saw Xu Qiao's profile close at hand under the dim light. He said calmly, "You can ask me two questions. What do you want to ask me?"
She turned her head to look at the balloon board. Xu Qiao's side was intact. It seemed that in the last round, he almost missed the target and didn't hit a single balloon, while her side seemed to have suffered a lot of damage.
how so?
It seemed the confusion on her face was too obvious. "When I was shooting, there was wind on my side, and the balloons were all blown around, so I didn't really hit them."
"You win. Have you decided what to ask me?"
Song Yu thought for a moment and asked, "You have questions for me, right?"
"yes."
"I cheated in the last round, so let's be fair." Song Yu looked at Xu Qiao, "Let's each ask one."
"good."
Song Yu's lips moved several times, but no sound came out. His heart was beating rapidly, and his clenched hands were covered with sweat. When this moment really came, it turned out that his throat could not make any sound.
She took a deep breath, "You..." Then she stopped abruptly as if she couldn't say anything else.
"How about we talk about it together?" Xu Qiao suggested.
"Can."
The two people stared at each other, as if they were competing, neither of them willing to look away first. They saw their own reflections in each other's eyes, and their hearts were beating wildly in unison.
"What's the PIN number for your card?" "Were you disappointed when you found out?"
