Chapter 68 If you don’t drink, I’ll pour it.
"Miaomiao, are you heading home? Buy some vegetables on the way. I'm going to make sweet and sour fish today."
"good."
Lu Miao sat in the driver's seat, answered a call, and then glanced at the message bar.
All her friends from her time as an overseas student fell silent, each busy with their own employment issues; only the blind date sent her a message.
[We had a great time on our last date. Do you have time this weekend? We're planning to go hiking. Do you want to come?]
Lu Miao thought about it and vaguely remembered that day, he did say that he had joined a mountaineering club.
She moved her fingers and replied casually.
When he looked up again, half an hour had passed. The number of people in the underground garage gradually decreased, and a pair of figures appeared in front of him.
The tall man in a suit and tie walking in front should be the Xie Siyan mentioned by Zhao Rong, but the woman next to him...
Lu Miao looked at it again, unable to believe it.
After a while, when the two of them walked to the side of the Land Rover, she realized what was going on and took out her cell phone to take a picture.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far and the picture was no longer clear.
——
dinner.
Chen Lixiu had indeed made sweet vinegar fish. The meat was soft and melted in the mouth, but Lu Miao was eating absent-mindedly. "Father, how familiar are you with Xie Siyan..."
"Si Yan, why are you asking about him suddenly?"
Lu Wenxu took off his coat, sat at the dining table, and picked up his chopsticks.
"No, I just saw him today. He doesn't look very old, just a few years older than me."
"He's a student in the 1X class at Kyoto University."
"Are you classmates with my cousin?"
Lu Wenxu and Chen Lixiu looked at each other and said, "No, they are a few years apart. Why are you suddenly asking this question?"
Seeing that she was busy talking, Chen Lixiu said, "Miaomiao, the food is getting cold. Your father has been working hard all day. Let him eat in peace." After that, she moved the dishes towards her husband and then said to her daughter, "How about you, how are you getting along with Zhang Han? Did you have a good chat the other day?"
"Well enough."
Lu Miao spoke vaguely, but did not give up the topic he had just talked about.
"Mom, how are my cousin and Lin Nuo doing recently? I haven't seen them for a long time."
Chen Lixiu smiled awkwardly and said to Lu Wenxu, "Why is this kid suddenly so concerned about her cousin?"
After saying that, he turned his head and asked, "Have you realized the importance of school background after returning to China?"
Lu Miao shook his head.
The scene emerged in her mind: two people who were the least likely to have any connection with each other appeared together. She wanted to guess that it was a business matter, but the intimate behavior they showed when getting in the car, although it was just a startling glimpse, was firmly imprinted in her memory and could not be ignored.
"Dad, I saw a watch in the underground garage of China Construction today..."
The phone vibrated, Lu Wenxu stood up and walked to the side, “Vice Principal Sun, what do you want to talk to me about?”
"Old Lu, there's a communication meeting I hope you can attend. It's this Wednesday. Do you have any plans?"
"No classes on Wednesday, that's fine."
"Then it's settled."
"Um……"
Chen Lixiu looked at Lu Miao, who looked worried, and picked up a piece of fish for her with chopsticks. "Miao Miao, don't think about your cousin. It's your own life event, so you should pay more attention to it. I think Zhang Han is a good boy, very polite..."
Lu Miao couldn't remember what his mother said next.
After dinner, she went back to her bedroom and lay on the bed, her mind full of that scene.
Mu Jia is a little thinner than her and has the appearance of a pretty girl.
Lu Miao had never considered her cousin particularly attractive. Back then, she was in middle school, wearing framed glasses and a ponytail. But now, Lu Miao was studying in Beijing, where the female students were all more fashionable than the others. Her cousin was the type of student who, among the other middle school students in Beijing, no boy would even notice her.
But when she returned to China this time and met again, she suddenly felt that Mu Jia had become different.
Although he was still not dressed up, he looked very fair. He wore small sandals with a little heel, his back was very straight, and he was not wearing glasses. He seemed to be glowing. When he took out the black suit, the salesperson standing next to him couldn't wait to come over, perhaps he had misunderstood.
"Customer, this dress will definitely look good on you. It has an extra treatment on the waist..." Mu Jia held the dress and shook her head in confusion, "It's not for me, it's for my sister..." Before she finished speaking, Lu Miao walked over, "I don't like this style."
Did she really not like that style that day?
Maybe she minded that the dress had been praised as suitable for her cousin.
Lu Miao found the dress from the closet. It had to be said that Mu Jia had a good taste. The dress was somewhere between ordinary and slightly designed, and she looked very elegant in it.
——
The next day.
Lu Miao was always absent-minded at work, and even when Zhao Rong came over to gossip with her, she couldn't concentrate.
"Miaomiao," Feng Xiaotian came over, "help me check this data."
"Okay." Lu Miao took it, but put it aside, propping up his chin with his hand, and asked Feng Xiaotian, "If... you found out that your relative was cheating, would you tell her parents?"
Feng Xiaotian had never been in a relationship and basically spent all her time studying at school. When suddenly asked this question, she lowered her head and leaned over, "Who is cheating?"
"It's okay, forget it."
Seeing her like this, Lu Miao obviously wanted to become a parent. She waved her hand and was too lazy to explain in detail.
Mu Jia came to see Xie Siyan as usual today and brought a bowl of soup he made himself.
The golden soup was carefully served in a thermos bucket. When Mu Jia carried the soup upstairs, Assistant Xu said, "It smells good." A smile appeared on his usually serious face, and Mu Jia smiled politely at him.
"Miss Mu, we're here. Please come in."
Xie Siyan was in the meeting as usual. Mu Jia blushed and his heart beat fast when he saw the desk where the two of them had been messing around yesterday.
Fortunately, no one came in here. Mu Jia put the soup on his desk, then flipped to a name in the contact list.
【Soup for you.】
Xie Siyan, who was in the conference room, took a look and noticed something floating in the soup, a hint of deep meaning appeared in his eyes.
He moved his fingers and wrote something in the input field below. Then he clicked send.
The phone vibrated. Mu Jia carefully put the lid of the thermos back on, then took out his phone and opened it.
Xie Siyan: [Mutton and Angelica]
Xie Siyan: [It seems that you were not satisfied yesterday? ]
Mu Jia blushed and her heart started beating fast.
How could this person always think of everything in a wrong way?
…
I lowered my face, my thick eyelashes hiding my emotions, and typed on my phone.
If you don't drink, I'll pour it.
She hadn't planned to stay long today.
After completing the reply, he spoke to Assistant Xu downstairs through the internal line in Xie Siyan's office and went downstairs again.
When Mu Jia went downstairs, he didn't notice that a familiar figure came out of an office.
