At dusk, Beijing is bustling with traffic and the neon lights are dazzling.
Meng Sheng invited Pei Sui to dinner and booked a table at a high-end, luxurious and classy Western restaurant.
When she arrived, the pianist was playing "La La Land". The dim sunset poured in through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, shining on the pianist in a tuxedo.
For a moment, her memories were hazy.
I remember that the year they just fell in love, she and Shang Boyu watched this movie together. She cried because of the ending. He said, "I will love you, always love you." Later, on her birthday that year, he personally played "La La Land" for her.
He couldn't play the piano, and he learned that piece of music specifically for her.
"La La Land"
A black shadow blocked the light behind her head, and a cold and low voice floated into her ears with a pleasant and soothing melody.
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, turned around, and was unexpectedly bumped into a pair of cold and indifferent eyes.
I opened my mouth subconsciously, "You came so early?"
"Not early. It's 6:28."
“…”
Oh, I came on time.
The sadness that had just welled up in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant because of his appearance and his words.
"Come in and sit down." A hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes, and she turned and walked forward.
Pei Sui's gaze slowly moved from her to the pianist.
He remembered that the ending of the movie "La La Land" was BE.
The heroine married someone else, and the hero did not marry.
When the song ended, he looked away and followed.
Meng Sheng booked a seat by the window. After she sat down, the waiter brought the menu and pushed it in front of Pei Sui. "Lawyer Pei, take a look. What do you want to eat?"
Pei Sui didn't bother to be polite with her. He looked through the menu and told the waiter the names of the dishes.
bite!
Meng Sheng's cell phone suddenly rang with a notification tone.
[Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei will have dinner at Le D?ner Western Restaurant at 7 o'clock. They also bought movie tickets for "Pictures and Love" at Optics Valley Cinema.]
Her pupils shrank.
Isn’t Le D?ner the western restaurant where she and Pei Sui are having dinner now?
After Pei Sui ordered the food, he saw that she was distracted. He waited for a while before handing her the menu and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "You order."
Meng Sheng came back to his senses, "Oh, have you ordered?"
Pei Sui nodded, and seeing that she looked absent-minded, he did not point it out.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was seven o'clock. She finally saw Ning Weiwei and Shang Boyu at the door.
Coincidentally, Ning Weiwei also looked over inadvertently, and their eyes met in mid-air at the same time.
Ning Weiwei's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then a touch of panic, but when she saw the back of the man opposite her, a playful smile appeared on her face, and she walked over with a joyful and proud step.
"Shengsheng, what a coincidence, you are eating here too."
When she came up to him and saw Pei Sui, she was stunned for a moment, "Lawyer Pei? Shengsheng, it turns out that you are so familiar with Lawyer Pei. I didn't notice it last time at the school anniversary event in Beijing."
Shang Boyu also walked over with a gloomy face, his brows knitted deeply, and his tone was slightly cold, "Why are you having dinner with him?"
Meng Sheng looked at the two of them and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She didn't prove herself, but frowned and asked, "Then why are you two together?"
Shang Boyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he replied without thinking, "The truffle mushroom soup in this restaurant is good. Come over and pack some for you."
"Oh." Meng Sheng stretched out the last word and looked at Ning Weiwei calmly, "What about you? Are you here to pack soup too?"
Ning Weiwei, "No. I came here to eat their Japanese curry chicken omelette rice. I came to this restaurant with my boyfriend last time and it was delicious. I'm not in a good mood today, so I came here specially to eat."
She pouted, sighed helplessly, and emphasized the four words "I'm in a bad mood".
Meng Sheng's calm gaze fell on Shang Boyu, "Is it really such a coincidence?"
Shang Boyu looked sincere, and his peach blossom eyes behind the lenses were tinged with suspicion. "It's really a coincidence, wife. But... why did you have dinner with Lawyer Pei?"
He thought of the photo Ning Weiwei sent him in the afternoon, and a sour feeling kept coming out of his chest.
The strong possessive desire continued to corrode his heart.
Pei Sui's cold voice suddenly sounded, "She crashed my car. This meal is an apology."
Meng Sheng was stunned. She didn't expect him to help her explain.
She glanced at him, stood up and pretended to be angry while waiting for Shang Boyu, "Why? You and Ning Weiwei always run into each other by chance, and now you want to suspect me instead?"
Her sudden anger disrupted Shang Boyu's plan.
He opened his mouth but before he could say anything, Meng Sheng had already picked up his bag and coat and said to Pei Sui, "I'm so sorry, Lawyer Pei, I made a fool of myself. This meal doesn't count. I'll treat you again next time. Take your time eating. I'll go pay the bill first."
"Shengsheng!"
Shang Boyu chased after him without thinking.
Pei Sui took a sip of water, and the corners of his lips curled up in a very light arc, and his originally deep and cold phoenix eyes also showed a ripple.
