When Jiang Huaibei picked up Xu Nanzhi, it happened to be the evening rush hour.
The entire city was filled with traffic, all moving slowly.
"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Huaibei turned his head to look at Xu Nanzhi and asked.
Xu Nanzhi sat in the passenger seat, replying to messages and Jiang Huaibei's words at the same time: "It's all right, you can arrange it. I drank several cups of coffee this afternoon, so I'm not very hungry."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Huaibei didn't know what he was thinking: "Then let's go for Western food. If you're not particularly hungry, you can eat less salad."
Xu Nanzhi nodded: "Sure."
These words hit the mark exactly what Jiang Huaibei wanted.
A faint smile curved the corners of his lips.
"The city is too congested. Let me take you somewhere else. There's a place that's pretty good, but it's in the suburbs."
Xu Nanzhi didn't know much about eating, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'm fine with anything."
Seeing that she seemed to be constantly sending messages on her phone, Jiang Huaibei said casually, "What? So busy? You're still sending messages even when you're out for dinner?"
Then he paused and said, "You're not feeling bored hanging out with me, are you complaining to your little sisters?"
These words were said with a slight teasing tone. After hearing this, Xu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Huaibei with a confused face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm just doing my job, okay? Besides, why would I complain about you?"
Hearing her talking about work, Jiang Huaibei's expression relaxed a lot for a moment.
"Isn't it because you're typing non-stop?"
"What's so busy about work? Doesn't Xu have any other employees?"
Jiang Huaibei's words were slightly tentative. Xu Nanzhi was responding to Zhou Fang's message and didn't think too much before blurting out, "How could it be Xu's business? Besides, Xu's business doesn't need to take up too much time to resolve."
There was a hint of arrogance in these words, and it was obvious that he did not take Xu's work problems seriously.
In other words, in Xu Nanzhi's opinion, there was no need to worry too much about Xu's affairs.
Following Xu Nanzhi's words, Jiang Huaibei asked, "If it's not Xu's business, what else could it be?"
This was obviously an attempt to trick her. Xu Nanzhi glanced at Jiang Huaibei and chuckled, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Jiang Huaibei just smiled faintly after being exposed: "I'm just a little curious."
"I didn't expect you to be such a gossipy person." Xu Nanzhi replied.
Jiang Huaibei raised his eyebrows: "I'm curious about everything related to you." This inevitably sounded a bit ambiguous.
Xu Nanzhi frowned slightly and was about to say something when he heard Jiang Huaibei's next words: "After all, I just met your friend and don't know much about him. Besides, he's Wen Ting's sister."
This explanation covered up the subtle emotion in the atmosphere just now.
Xu Nanzhi's expression finally became somewhat normal.
Looking at Jiang Huaibei, he said, "Could you please finish your words in one breath next time? You know this can easily lead to misunderstandings."
"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Huaibei continued.
Then he said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Could it be that you misunderstood what I meant?"
Xu Nanzhi's expression froze, and he looked a little embarrassed: "No."
Even if she really misunderstood Jiang Huaibei's meaning, she would not admit it. How could she say such a shameful thing?
If Jiang Huaibei thought that she mistakenly thought that his words were meant to express interest in her, based on her understanding of Jiang Huaibei, she would definitely be laughed at.
This person is the best at finding people's weaknesses.
Xu Nanzhi dragged out the ending syllable of the two words he uttered, which sounded a bit cute to Jiang Huaibei's ears.
He chuckled, "No? Nothing?"
"I haven't said anything yet."
At this moment, the car stopped at a traffic light. Jiang Huaibei casually put his hands on the steering wheel and looked at Xu Nanzhi: "Nan Xiaozhi, what are you panicking about?"
There was a strong element of temptation in these words, and coupled with Jiang Huaibei's unblinking gaze at him, Xu Nanzhi felt that in an instant, his cheeks suddenly became hot, and even his tone of voice was a little stuttering.
"You, don't talk nonsense, how could I be panicked?"
"Besides, I didn't mean anything else when I said that. Also, it was Nanzhi, not just."
Seeing her trying so hard to explain, Jiang Huaibei thought to himself that she was so cute.
He chuckled and stopped teasing her: "I know, but I saw Zhou Fang also called you Zhizhi, so it should be okay for me to call you Nan Xiaozhi?"
Xu Nanzhi had a fake smile on his face: "Yes, Zhi, thank you."
"What about Nan Xiaozhi?"
Xu Nanzhi rolled his eyes, too lazy to really change: "Whatever you want."
This made Jiang Huaibei laugh: "Didn't I just want to call you by your name to make it look special?"
Considering Jiang Huaibei's tone at the moment, it would be strange if Xu Nanzhi didn't think too much about it.
However, after the misunderstanding just now, she calmed down and asked, "What's special?"
She said this in a calm tone, and she kept hypnotizing herself in her heart that Jiang Huaibei might speak like this.
Then she shook her head secretly in her heart: "As expected, handsome guys can be quite lethal sometimes. When he talks to you seriously, you might mistake him for flirting. It's really a sin."
So sometimes, a smile from someone is not necessarily a sign of love.
The red light turned green and Jiang Huaibei started the car. Seeing that Xu Nanzhi had not spoken, he turned his head inadvertently and saw that the girl was doing something unknown.
With his eyes closed and his hands folded together, he seemed to be muttering something.
I thought, this girl might be chanting a spell or something.
He smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
As their car drove out of the city, the road was obviously less congested.
However, as Beijing is a political and economic center, many people in the surrounding areas choose to work in Beijing and travel between the two places after get off work.
This results in a large number of cars leaving the city, but compared with the city, the traffic volume is very small.
Now that the weather has become warmer, the arrival of night has been delayed, and it still looks like daytime around us.
When they reached a fork in the road, Jiang Huaibei turned and they drove onto a new road.
This time, you can clearly feel that the number of vehicles on both sides begins to drop sharply.
Looking at the surroundings on both sides, Xu Nanzhi roughly guessed where the dining place was and asked, "Is it so remote?"
Jiang Huaibei nodded: "Yes, it's near a nearby village. The store is on the mountain. The flowers are in full bloom this season, and the scenery is very beautiful."
