Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Could it be that she is the one who was...
On the weekend, Xu Zhixi got up early in the morning to deal with work. After sending it to the senior copywriter Sister Pei, she soon received a message saying that it needed to be revised. She was busy for a while, and when she finally finished, it was almost noon.
Remembering to go to Canglanzhai for dinner with Song Jing in the evening, Xu Zhixi glanced at the time and without much rest, carried his books to the balcony for class.
After the two classes ended, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon before Xu Zhixi remembered to have lunch.
I was too lazy to cook, so I just ordered takeout. While waiting for the takeout to be delivered, the "missing person" Gu Xianyou called the group voice call.
However, before Gu Xianyou could say anything, Gao Yue, who answered the call, started complaining.
Gao Yue just went out to look at store locations today. She looked at several and was not satisfied with any of them. Either the location was not suitable or the rent was too high. What was even more outrageous was that some landlords wanted her to pay ten years' rent in one lump sum.
Gao Yue was so angry that she was speechless.
If you don't want her to rent, just say so directly. Is there any need to use this method to persuade her to quit?
On the phone, Gao Yue angrily complained about everything that had happened that morning. Feeling a little better, he took a sip of his coffee and continued, "If you two plan to buy a house in the future, you must take me with you. It feels like I've explored all the pitfalls in just this morning, and I'm going to pick out the best house for you two."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Gu Xianyou said with a cold and arrogant face: "Thank you, but my parents have already bought me a house. Oh, and my grandmother also left me a house in Hangzhou."
Gao Yue drank the coffee and felt bitter: "Shut up."
Gu Xianyou: "I was the one who called."
Gao Yue: "Then Miss Gu, you go ahead and speak. I'll withdraw."
Gu Xianyou: "Just say it, Zhizhi."
The doorbell rang, and Xu Zhixi stood up from his chair: "I'll get some takeout first."
Half a minute later, Xu Zhixi returned to his seat, neatly spread out his food on the table, and put his phone on speakerphone. "If you didn't know, you might think we were having a regular meeting, taking turns speaking. I've finished my meal and have some homework to do later. You two can chat. I'll call you when I have the chance."
"Don't hang up!" Gao Yue said, "You haven't told me how far you and Gene have progressed."
Despite Zhizhi's incompetent appearance, she agreed to the other party's pursuit in just a few days. Now there has been great progress.
Oh, speaking of big...
Gu Xianyou had been playing all night last night and had just gotten up to put on a repair mask and chat for a while. He said, not minding the big deal, "This is indeed something we can discuss."
Xu Zhixi knew what the two were planning, so he naturally couldn't let them get what they wanted. "Dating."
"Which stage of the relationship are you in? Did you hold hands? Did you hug? Did you kiss?"
Xu Zhixi's face flushed: "Don't be so careless."
Gu Xianyou almost laughed his face mask off.
Gao Yue snorted in dissatisfaction: "There are so many things to do in more than half a month."
Gu Xianyou suppressed his malicious smile and added lightly, "We are all in our prime, so there are indeed many things we can do."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Gao Yue continued to interrogate him: "Tell me quickly, how far have you progressed?"
"We're really running out of time." Xu Zhixi hastily ended the topic. "It's almost time for class. I'll call you guys later. Bye!"
"no!"
Not caring whether she could do it or not, Xu Zhixi simply quit the group voice chat.
A moment later, dozens of messages on WeChat criticized her, accusing her of being unfriendly and even hanging up on her.
Xu Zhixi put down his phone and ate in silence.
If I don't hang up the phone, who knows what shocking words this little girl Gao Yue will say next.
Coupled with Gu Xianyou's exaggeration, it is really hard to imagine.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Song Jing sent a message on time, asking her if she had finished the course.
Xu Zhixi had just finished studying and stretched his muscles a bit to relieve his fatigue before replying to Song Jing: "Come over now, I'm ready."
Song Jing: [Okay.]
Xu Zhixi put down her phone and went to the closet to pick out some clothes. She had originally picked out a comfortable, loose-fitting top and trousers, but after a few seconds of thought, she silently changed into a one-shoulder knit top.
When she went to the mirror to tie her hair, she looked at her pale face, pursed her lips, and couldn't help but pick up her makeup and quickly put on her makeup.
Finally, the clothes looked beautiful and she looked particularly energetic. Xu Zhixi let down her long hair and looked at herself in the mirror with light makeup on. Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed.
She obviously often wears makeup in the company, and he has seen her with makeup countless times, so why does she look so unnatural tonight?
Xu Zhixi patted her cheeks lightly with her hands, took a deep breath, and when she saw the news that Song Jing had arrived, she grabbed her bag, changed her shoes, and went out.
Song Jing was waiting at the same place as last night. The car was parked on the side of the road. His tall figure stood on one side, wearing a neat white shirt. He looked fresh and cold, but because of his smiling eyes, his whole body warmed up.
Seeing her coming, Song Jing opened the passenger door, his eyes fell on her beautiful face, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Xu Zhixi felt embarrassed by his gaze, so he thanked her, turned away, bent down and got into the car.
Canglanzhai is the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou today, and it is also the place where they confirmed their relationship. Thinking of setting foot here again, Xu Zhixi couldn't help but feel dazed.
In her eyes at that time, Song Jing was like a good teacher and friend.
He is handsome, works well, and is polite to others. Although it is difficult for people to get close to him because of his cold and noble aura, he is very attractive to girls, especially those who have just started working and have been accepting his guidance. This attraction is infinitely magnified.
During their time together, she undeniably developed other feelings for him, but she never dared to go beyond the line, and she never imagined that Song Jing also had feelings for her.
Song Jing was steering the car. Seeing that she seemed lost in thought, he suddenly asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Xu Zhixi gathered his thoughts and thought for a moment before saying, "Braised pork will do."
"Well, what else?"
"Just keep an eye on the rest. I can't think of anything else."
Song Jing reached out and touched her hair: "I know you like braised pork, so I've asked the restaurant to prepare it."
Xu Zhixi really loves eating braised pork.
It’s just that the female colleagues around her all pay attention to body management and rarely indulge themselves, especially Liao Keke, who pursues low-fat and low-calorie food. They invite her to eat light meals from time to time, and she hasn’t eaten big fish and meat for some time.
Now when I mention braised pork, I suddenly feel hungry.
Song Jing withdrew his hand, and Xu Zhixi realized that he had rubbed her hair twice, making it a little messy. She could not help but silently accuse him, then raised her hand to fix her hair.
I don't know where he got this bad habit of messing up her hair at every turn.
Keeping his eyes on the road ahead, Song Jing casually asked, "Is Wang Zi still harassing you?"
His tone was flat and no emotion could be heard.
Xu Zhixi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened his phone: "It should be... gone."
After Wang Zi commented on her Moments that day, he sent her a lot of messages. She was so exhausted that she simply set the Do Not Disturb function. She didn't know if he had sent her any more messages after the proposal.
However, having lost so much face in public, he probably won't be as persistent as before.
Xu Zhixi calmly entered the WeChat chat box with Wang Zi, but when he saw the message he sent last night, his eyes suddenly froze.
Wang Zi: [I'm sorry, Ms. Xu! I was confused during this period! I don't dare ask for your forgiveness, but I just hope I haven't caused you any harm.]
Wang Zi: [I was blind to the truth! I hope you can forgive my mistakes and not bear a grudge against me.]
Wang Zi: [Miss Xu, if you need me for anything in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water to help you.]
Wang Zi: [You can rest assured that I won't bother you again.]
Wang Zi: [I swear.]
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Is Wang Zi possessed by evil spirits?
Seeing that her expression was not right, Song Jing frowned and slowed down the car: "Still harassing you?"
"No." Xu Zhixi also frowned, confused. "Why did he suddenly apologize to me? He also said he would never bother me again. Did he send the wrong WeChat message?"
No, her name is Miss Xu.
There shouldn't be any mistake.
But the phrase "not recognizing Mount Tai" is not usually said to important people. She is just an ordinary worker, how can she be considered Mount Tai.
Could it be that she is the real daughter who was adopted by her family but was actually wandering around?
How outrageous.
Xu Zhixi decisively gave up this ridiculous guess.
Song Jing readily agreed: "Maybe he really knows he's wrong."
Xu Zhixi still felt something was wrong: "Does he look like someone who would make a mistake?"
"Always give people a chance to mend their ways."
“…” I don’t really want to give it to you.
"Isn't it good for him to admit his mistake?"
"Of course. It's just..." Xu Zhixi looked at him doubtfully, "Weren't you angry about Wang Zi a few days ago? Why are you speaking up for him now?"
Song Jing coughed dryly: "Let's talk about the facts. Your boyfriend should be considered a reasonable person."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
This is so shameless.
Although Wang Zi's sudden apology was a bit strange, after all, he would not be harassed anymore, so Xu Zhixi did not think much about it and just thought he was really possessed.
…
Canglanzhai is a Chinese restaurant with antique decor that leans towards the Southern garden style. It features a tea room, a music room, and outdoor seating in the back garden, creating a very elegant atmosphere.
In the three years since its opening, Canglanzhai has stood out in the saturated market, established a unique brand image, and become a favorite gathering place for middle and high-end people.
Nowadays, when talking about Chinese restaurants, everyone will subconsciously think of Canglanzhai.
This comprehensive restaurant combines dining, tea tasting, music listening and scenery appreciation, giving people the ultimate sensory enjoyment. It is perfect for both private dates and gatherings as well as business banquets and meetings.
This was Xu Zhixi's second time here. The last time, because they had just confirmed their relationship, they were absent-minded and didn't appreciate the restaurant much. Today, however, he was much more interested.
It is said that Canglanzhai was able to quickly establish its brand in China without being affected by its competitors. More importantly, it was backed by the Song Group.
More than half of the shares of Canglanzhai are in the hands of the Song family. No wonder the interior is luxurious and the layout is unique. It is unknown how much money it would cost just to hire a designer, not to mention the furnishings inside.
Without millions of dollars in funding, the project would have died in the planning stage.
A uniformed waiter led the way from the front, being exceptionally respectful and considerate. Xu Zhixi casually admired the surroundings, then realized that the waiter had taken them to a VIP room.
Arriving at the private room, the waiter knelt down on the futon and reached out to make tea, but Song Jing raised his hand to stop him: "No, go down."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xu Zhixi, and seeing that they both meant the same thing, he lowered his brows, nodded, and stood up to leave.
Facing the dining table was a small wooden window with a stained glass window. The sound of flowing water echoed through it, and a few cherry blossoms could be seen, their stamens dancing in the wind. Xu Zhixi admired the view for a moment, then looked across at the man skillfully brewing tea. Curiously, "Didn't they say that the VIP rooms at Canglanzhai had to be reserved a month in advance? How did you get one?"
Not only is it difficult to make an appointment, it is also expensive.
Song Jing had just told her a few days ago that they were going to have dinner at Canglanzhai. If they really had to make a reservation a month in advance, it would never be their turn to use this private room.
How come he made an appointment in just two days?
Song Jing smiled faintly: "There are always more solutions than problems."
Xu Zhixi's eyes lit up slightly: "What method?"
He handed over the teacup: "Want to know?"
certainly.
Xu Zhixi answered with his eyes, took the teacup, and lowered his head to take a sip.
The most famous restaurant in Hangzhou is undoubtedly Canglanzhai. She must want to know what the method is, as it might be useful in the future.
Who would mind making their brain a little smarter?
Xu Zhixi was still waiting for an answer when she saw the man opposite her stand up and walk towards her.
"What are you doing..." Before she finished her words, Song Jing sat down beside her.
Xu Zhixi was stunned.
After sitting down, Song Jing poured himself tea in an orderly manner, his voice calm: "As long as you have money, it's fine."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Let’s not talk about the money for now. He was fine on the other side, why did he squeeze in here?
Song Jing seemed to have noticed her thoughts and said softly, "It will be easier to talk this way."
Xu Zhixi retorted, "How is that convenient?" And it would be embarrassing if the waiter saw them coming in. They were just having a meal, and they had to stick together.
In an elegant restaurant like Canglanzhai, everyone pays attention to etiquette.
He explained: “It’s close.”
"Wasn't it close just now?"
“Not close.”
“…”
He took a sip of tea and said in a low, steady voice, "The closer the better."
Fortunately, Xu Zhixi had a friend like Gao Yue around him. He was influenced by her and immediately thought of the wrong thing. His ears suddenly felt hot and he uttered two words after a while: "Rogue."
With Xu Zhixi's upbringing, the most he could say was "hooligan".
There was no way out. There was a principal at home, so she had no chance to rebel since she was a child.
Song Jing paused while drinking his tea, turned his head to look at her fair little face, and put his big hand on the back of the chair behind her. He laughed softly, "I just wanted to be closer to my girlfriend. Why am I a hooligan again?"
Behind her was the man's possessive arm. Xu Zhixi sat upright, turning away from him: "You know it in your heart."
"I'm not sure." He said with a smile, "How am I a hooligan, huh?"
This man is so annoying.
Xu Zhixi bit her lip and said with a stiff upper lip, "All over my body."
"Have you seen it?"
“…”
"Or," he said, his eyes looking meaningful, and his tone was drawn out, "Do you want to see me?"
