Chapter 2172: Can’t Let the Girl Pay the Bill
Xiao Jun glanced at her and shrugged.
Yes, Bai drank so much alcohol that she gave him the opportunity to bring her home, and she almost lost her virginity again...
"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
Xiao Jun said calmly, "Since you were so active, I thought you could drink a lot."
"How can I drink..."
Xiao Jun turned his face away, not looking at her, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This silly girl believed everything he said and was so easy to fool. It made him feel guilty and even a little shameless.
Xiao Jun cleared his throat and said, "Such good wine, it's not a loss to drink it. You don't lose anything anyway."
She sighed and said that it was not a loss, but the hangover was too uncomfortable. She felt dizzy and just wanted to sleep.
As she spoke, her eyes were about to close.
This is the old city area of Haicheng. The sidewalks are bumpy and uneven due to years of walking. Seeing that she closed her eyes, Xiao Jun was afraid that she would fall, so he held her wrist.
Xiao Jun saw out of the corner of his eye that she turned her head and stared at him in a daze.
"You can close your eyes for a while, I'll hold your hand."
"No, really no need..." she whispered, trying to pull her hand back.
Xiao Jun clenched his fists and looked down at her: "You don't trust me?"
"I don't……"
"Then close your eyes."
She pursed her lips in embarrassment and finally closed her eyes obediently.
Xiao Jun held her hand and walked on the winter city streets, like an ordinary couple.
There are tall plane trees on the roadside. When the wind blows, a few dry yellow leaves fall lightly to the ground.
Xiao Jun suddenly felt that time was passing very slowly, but he felt that this slowness brought him a rare sense of comfort and ease.
It seemed as if he had never taken a walk like this with anyone before, and he had never known that having someone walking beside him could actually give him a sense of security.
He turned his head to look at the girl again and couldn't help laughing. She was really obedient. If she wasn't allowed to open her eyes, she would keep them closed.
After the two crossed an intersection, the sidewalk became difficult to walk on.
Xiao Jun asked her to open her eyes.
As soon as the girl opened her eyes, she took a deep breath and said, "It feels so comfortable, just like I just had a good sleep."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll lead you into a trap?"
She smiled brightly: "I know you won't."
Xiao Jun also smiled, and trusted him again.
"What a nice smell! Where does that smell come from?" Ruomu said, holding up his nose and ears, looking around like a squirrel.
It was the aroma of coffee wafting from a roadside bookstore, which also served as a coffee shop.
He pointed to the bookstore and said, "That floated out."
Ruomu pursed his lips and said, "Master Xiao, you treated me to lunch. How about I treat you to a cup of coffee? Don't you have the habit of drinking coffee in the afternoon?"
She wanted to drink, but she refused to admit it, and her reasons were quite good.
Xiao Jun was about to nod, but when he looked at the shop sign, his mood faltered and he unknowingly walked here.
Asakusa Bookstore on Nishiyama Road, where he and Xiaojiu once had coffee.
It was also an afternoon. Xiaojiu read a book all afternoon, and he read her all afternoon...
Xiao Jun didn't want to go in.
Ruomu said that after coming to the city, she was busy working every day and had never been to a cafe. Today she had some rare time, so she decided to go in and sit for a while.
Seeing her looking at that side eagerly, Xiao Jun finally nodded.
The two walked into the bookstore. Ruomu looked at the names of the coffees blankly, obviously not knowing which one to choose.
"Let me have some." Xiao Jun said.
Ruomu smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll pay later..."
"I'll do it this time, you pay next time." He said without giving her time to refute.
"Oh, then thank you, Mr. Xiao..."
The first time they had coffee, no matter how much the money was, Xiao Jun would never let the girl pay the bill.
Xiao Jun ordered a mocha for himself and was about to order a latte for Ruomu, but then he thought that just because Xiaojiu liked latte, it didn't mean Ruomu would like it too. Since she liked sweet and bitter desserts like tiramisu and didn't seem to mind the bitter taste, he ordered a macchiato for her.
There isn't that much milk in a macchiato, it's mostly just foam, and the coffee aroma is stronger, maybe she would like it.
After ordering coffee, Xiao Jun asked her what dessert she wanted.
Ruomu pointed to a small cake on the counter and said, "This one."
Xiao Jun took a look and couldn't help laughing. This time he couldn't help but rubbed her head.
It really looks like a child's cake. There was only this cartoon bear-shaped cake on the entire counter. It looked like it was for children, so she ordered it.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the kids are happy.
After ordering coffee and dessert, the two went to find a seat.
Ruomu walked in front and finally came to the dining table where Xiao Jun and Xiao Jiu had sat.
Then she sat in the seat where Xiaojiu had sat before.
Xiao Jun sighed secretly. Could it be that this girl came here on purpose to cause trouble for him?
"What's wrong with you?" Ruomu asked concernedly, "Don't you want to sit here?"
"No." Xiao Jun sat down. It was just a seat in a coffee shop. Since he wanted to let go of everything about Xiao Jiu, he had to get used to not caring about such memorable things.
Xiao Jun sat opposite Ruomu, looking at her face, but still thought of what happened that day.
Xiaojiu also sat in front of him like this, and then the faces of the two girls seemed to overlap.
They all have big eyes, fair skin, and small noses...
But they were so different, and when he looked at them, his mood was completely different.
When sitting in front of Xiaojiu, Xiao Jun would want to recommend books to her. When he thought that she read the books he introduced and liked them a little bit, he would feel happy, as if Xiaojiu also liked him a little bit.
He could sit in this coffee shop with Xiaojiu quietly for an entire afternoon without saying anything, just sitting opposite her, and he would be very content.
Everything about Xiaojiu in my impression is so clean and beautiful.
Then Ruomu's face and Xiaojiu's face gradually separated again. He looked at Ruomu and felt that this girl gave him a very different feeling.
Of course, she is just as clean and beautiful, but when looking at her, I have an urge to tease her.
If he really made her cry, he would feel distressed.
In fact, ever since he got to know her family, he began to feel sorry for her and wanted to help her to the best of his ability.
There is no way to hide in the dark and observe her like I observed Xiaojiu.
You can't leave her in the mountains and let others care for her instead of you.
However, he had watched Xiaojiu stay in Mingchan Temple for so many years, and would rather ask Chu Lingfeng to visit her than stand in front of her in person and bravely say something like "I will protect you from now on".
It can be seen that there is a reason why Xiaojiu does not love him...
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu's expression gradually faded, and he only saw the lively face of the girl in front of him.
The coffee and dessert arrived. She took a sip of the macchiato, and the milk foam touched her lips. She licked the fine foam with the tip of her tongue, then took another bite of the dessert, her eyes shining: "It's delicious!"
