Chapter 955: Do You Want to Watch the Fireworks?
Qiao Yunxi stopped and Mrs. Qiao almost bumped into his back.
"Yunxi, why did you stop suddenly? Mom is still behind us."
Mrs. Qiao was startled and was glad that she didn't actually bump into Qiao Yunxi, otherwise she would have burned him.
Qiao Yunxi and Murong's eyes met in the air. Murong looked away first and went to the bathroom with Qiao Qingci to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.
Qiao Yunxi retracted his gaze and explained to Mrs. Qiao: "I'm sorry, Mom. I was lost in thought just now."
Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Yunxi strangely, "You don't even consider the time when you think about things. You're so impatient even though you're already grown up."
Mo Yanchu just happened to help carry out two plates. When he put them down, there was no sound at all. Every move he made exuded calmness and dignity.
Comparing the two, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but ask, "You and Yan Chu are about the same age, but there's such a big age difference. Is it because you don't have a girlfriend yet?"
Mrs. Qiao blinked. "Look at our family. Everyone except you has their own lover. Yunxi, although I said I won't interfere in your personal feelings, if you can't find someone you like, I can help you keep an eye out for a good girl. What if she is the right one for you?"
Qiao Yunxi refused, "Mom, I won't consider this for now."
Murong came out of the bathroom and just heard the conversation between Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yunxi. She lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Qiao Yanfei stood aside and hugged Mrs. Qiao, "Okay, honey, Yunxi must have his own ideas. Let's eat first."
"Okay, enough talking, let's eat."
The family broached the subject.
After dinner, Murong helped to clear the dishes while Qiao Yunxi wiped the table. When he wiped Murong's seat, the phone on the table suddenly lit up.
A message with the note [Tang Yi] popped up: [Happy New Year's Eve, my dear! Do you want to watch the fireworks?]
Tang Yi sent an address.
Qiao Yunxi stopped and frowned. Are Tang Yi and Murong still in contact?
Murong came out of the kitchen, picked up his phone, saw Tang Yi's message, and felt a little moved.
She felt very uncomfortable when she was eating face to face with Qiao Yunxi at the same table just now. Instead of continuing to feel awkward, she might as well go out and play with Tang Yi.
【Okay, I'll go now.】
Murong said something to Madam Qiao and Mo Yanchu and was about to leave.
For the safety of citizens' buildings and environmental hygiene, fireworks in the capital are set off in fixed venues.
Qiao Yunxi stood upstairs, watching Murong's car drive away through the floor-to-ceiling window. At this time, Jenny called.
"Joe, I heard there are fireworks tonight. Do you want to go?"
When Qiao Yunxi heard the familiar words, he gripped the phone tighter.
During the few seconds of his hesitation, Jenny misunderstood that he didn't want to go.
"Look at me, I forgot you guys were going to reunite with your family today, so I'll go by myself. Maybe I can meet new friends there."
"Wait, I'll go." Qiao Yunxi blurted out before Jenny hung up the phone.
Jenny said "eh", she didn't expect him to agree.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the square, come quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Jenny walked towards the nearby square.
At the entrance of the square, Tang Yi was wearing a long black down jacket, a scarf, and a teddy bear knitted hat. A few strands of short golden hair hung down on the edge of the hat. Although it was a simple outfit, it made her look handsome and cute.
Jenny immediately became very interested in this Chinese man. "Hey, handsome guy, are you alone?"
Being called a handsome guy by a blonde girl with a warm smile, Tang Yi blinked her eyes, feeling happy that her acting was recognized again.
She changed her voice, shook her head and said to Jenny, "I'm not alone. I'm waiting for my friend."
Jenny took in all of Tang Yi's expressions after he saw her, and heard his voice with the unique warmth and charm of the Chinese, which made her feel more and more favorable towards this man.
She moved closer to Tang Yi and said, "What a coincidence! I'm waiting for my friend too."
Hearing this, Tang Yi looked at Jenny and thought her smile was very similar to the smiles of her friends who were about to go on dates, so she asked curiously, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Jenny raised an eyebrow. "He's a very compatible male friend, but not a boyfriend. He's not my ideal partner type. What about you? Are you waiting for your girlfriend?"
Tang Yi blinked, thinking that she had only pretended to be Murong's lover in front of Qiao Yunxi before. Now that Qiao Yunxi was not around, and this was another foreign girl she didn't know, she said sincerely, "She's also a female friend of mine. My ideal partner must first be a man."
"ah……"
Jenny was hit by what Tang Yi blurted out.
She finally met someone she liked, but it turned out that he was a person with a niche orientation.
