Chapter 685 I Won’t Go Back
"Still watching?"
Suddenly, her mother's voice rang out from behind her. Qiu Keying turned around with a blush on her face, and saw her mother smiling and asking, "You haven't left yet?"
"Let's go."
Seeing her daughter like this, Mother Qiu knew that she must have fallen in love with the young man from the Li family.
"We've been together for a while now. How do you feel?" Mother Qiu took her daughter's hand and sat down on the bed. "I see you like it quite a bit."
Qiu Keying lowered her head and looked like a little girl with amorous feelings.
Mother Qiu said gently, "Your father is still hesitant about whether to agree to cooperate with the Li family. If you really fall in love with the child of the Li family, I guess your father will agree."
"Why don't you agree?" Qiu Keying raised her head and looked at her mother.
Mother Qiu shook her head and said, "I don't know much about business matters. I only heard about it from your father when he mentioned it casually at the dinner table."
"Mom, Li Xiao is a very good person. Not only is he handsome, but he's also very gentlemanly. Most importantly, he's opinionated, has good judgment, and is exceptionally smart and kind..."
"You are a lover who sees beauty in everything. Because you like him, you think everything about him is good."
"He is really good!" Qiu Keying said anxiously.
"Okay, if my daughter likes him, Mom believes he must be excellent. But he is currently studying abroad, so you must consider this carefully."
When her mother reminded her, Qiu Keying felt a little lost: "I tried not to think about it, but you had to remind me."
"This is reality, there's no point in running away from it."
Qiu Keying pursed her lips tightly, but she had already made up her mind.
In a Michelin Chinese restaurant in the city center, a young boy walked into the restaurant cautiously.
Before he could look around, Li Xiao stood up from his seat not far away and waved, "Wenjun!"
Seeing Li Xiao, Chen Wenjun smiled and walked over to him: "Li Xiao, why did you choose such an expensive restaurant? Let's just have something simple to eat."
"We can't be casual. We haven't seen each other for so long, we have to be formal." Li Xiao handed the menu to the other party: "Today I will treat you to Maotai!"
"Come on, forget it. I'm a wild boar and can't eat fine bran. It's a complete waste for you to buy me a drink." He flipped over the menu and quickly returned it: "You order it. The prices on it are intimidating."
Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "I'll order it, I remember your taste anyway."
The two were high school classmates and entered the University of Science and Technology of China at the same time. They studied different majors but their relationship has always been good.
After going abroad, Li Xiao cut off contact with all his friends in China, including his classmates at school. The only one left was Chen Wenjun.
"How is life abroad? You always tell me it's okay, but actually you're not used to it, right?" Chen Wenjun asked.
Li Xiao curled his lips into a smile and said, "It's actually not bad. I wasn't in good shape before I went abroad, but I slowly adjusted after going abroad. I'm quite adaptable."
"You've really changed a lot." Chen Wenjun looked at Li Xiao and said sincerely, "Your whole temperament is different. You look much more mature and steady than before."
Li Xiao didn't comment, called the waiter and ordered several dishes in one go. Finally, he stopped after Chen Wenjun stopped him and said that it was enough.
I actually ordered Moutai.
"How are you doing in school?"
"It's still the same." Chen Wenjun seemed to remember something, sighed, and said slowly: "I'm thinking about taking the postgraduate entrance examination. At the end of last year, the school organized a school team for the Mathematical Olympiad in Physics. You know physics is my strong point. I was thinking about getting on the school team and getting a good score. Then, if I can be admitted to graduate school, I will have an advantage and a highlight."
"Why? You didn't get selected?"
Chen Wenjun smiled wryly and nodded. "I don't know how the quota was decided, but I'm not one of them. Guess who is?"
When he asked this, Li Xiao's expression froze. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Chen Ci?"
Chen Wenjun gave a thumbs up directly: “Smart, and Shen Ci got full marks in the preliminary round.”
Li Xiao was not surprised at all, he knew best whether Shen Cicong was smart or not.
And his purpose in asking Chen Wenjun out today was actually to find out about Shen Ci's situation in school.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wenjun took the initiative to bring it up.
"It's been more than a year, you should have passed it a long time ago, right?" Chen Wenjun asked cautiously.
Li Xiao smiled carefreely, acting nonchalantly: "Of course, do you think I still miss her?"
"That's fine. Chen Ci is very good, but you are not bad either. You will definitely meet the right one in the future."
At this time, the wine came first. The waiter opened the wine and poured a full glass for both of them in an exquisite small cup.
The two men raised their glasses, drank them all, and then grinned at the same time.
Chen Wenjun said contentedly, "I'm getting better now. I've even had some Moutai."
Li Xiao pretended to be casual and asked, "Has she been in a relationship in the past year?"
"They were dating," Chen Wenjun recalled, "but it seemed like they weren't dating someone from school. Occasionally, people saw her boyfriend picking her up from school, but he was always outside the school gate."
"How old are you?"
"I don't know about that. I haven't seen her much since you left. I only see her from a distance in the school cafeteria occasionally, and I've never said hello."
Li Xiao nodded, thinking that if they were from outside the school, they should not be of the same age.
Could it be the person she met today in "Yunshang Palace"?
But he immediately denied this idea. How could a girl say something like "I used someone else" in front of her current boyfriend?
So it shouldn't be.
Chen Wenjun added, "She seems to be keeping a low profile at school these days. I haven't heard any major gossip about her. But there's still talk about her at school, especially among the boys. After all, she's so beautiful."
"By the way, she seemed to have a special problem with Wang Yikun in the Olympic team. Do you still remember Wang Yikun?"
Li Xiao frowned and thought for a moment: "Is it that idiot from the student union?"
"right."
Li Xiao sneered and asked, "He and Shen Ci still have a feud? Who told you that?"
"I heard from Wang Li from our class, who was on the Olympiad team, that they didn't have any grudges against each other. It's just that Wang Yikun was quite pretentious. He looked down on Chen Ci at first, but was eventually completely subdued by Chen Ci."
Chen Wenjun couldn't help laughing as he spoke, and then looked at Li Xiao and asked, "Li Xiao, have you seen Chen Ci since you came back this time?"
"Yes," Li Xiao said frankly, "and I bumped into her today at a jade exhibition. She hasn't changed much..."
"Then you..."
"Haha." Li Xiao chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "Why? Do you still want me to rekindle my old relationship with her?"
"Forget it, I won't go back to my ex."
