Chapter 193: Going Crazy
Fang Zhiming and Su Man went out for a midnight snack.
As usual, it is the 24-hour convenience store near the theater.
Su Man ordered oden again, and Fang Zhiming made a small bowl of noodles. When they sat down, Fang Zhiming glanced at Su Man's oden, shook his head, and said, "I didn't expect you to like eating these things. You haven't gotten tired of eating them for several nights in a row?"
"No, it's delicious, and I can change the flavor every time." Su Man looked very satisfied after eating the skewers that were so hot that she wanted to spit them out.
Halfway through the meal, Fang Zhiming stood up and went to the front desk to place his order.
After a while, he came back with two big chicken legs.
He put one of the chicken legs into Suman's paper cup and said, "I'm happy today, I'll treat you to a roasted chicken leg!"
Su Man was stunned and laughed: "Thank you."
"I thought you would dislike it." Fang Zhiming sat down and started eating noodles.
"How can someone who loves oden dislike grilled chicken legs?" said Su Man.
Fang Zhiming gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, this sentence is very poetic. I can use it when I write a play next time."
"You also write plays?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate me."
Su Man shook her head. "Not really. On the contrary, I have a new respect for you... Oh no, I admire you even more."
Fang Zhiming rolled his eyes. "Here's a piece of advice for you. Next time you flatter someone, try to act more sincerely."
The two people were bantering with each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Outside a convenience store.
A black Lincoln was parked on the curb across the street.
The people in the car were staring at the people in the convenience store.
Xiao Beisheng's jaw was as tight as a knife, and his eyes, hidden behind his sharp eyebrows, were dark and deep.
Gao Xun sat in the driver's seat, looking at the people in the convenience store, and then stole a glance at Xiao Beisheng through the rearview mirror: "Or, tell the wife that you are here to pick her up."
"No, she said she would go back by herself tonight."
Gao Xun thought: If that's the case, why did you come here? Aren't you here to catch someone in adultery? But if you're catching someone in adultery, why don't you just go over there? It's so frustrating to just stand there and watch. If it's not true, since you're already here, why don't you just tell me and take the person back?
However, outsiders cannot see through the affairs of a couple and it is not appropriate for them to interfere.
Through the glass window, you can see people sitting side by side. After looking at each other, they burst into laughter. The hot steam of the food is filled with their smiles. The bright lights form a sharp contrast with the dark shops around them.
It looks more like a bright star in the dark night, bright and warm.
For the next few nights, Xiao Beisheng would wait across the street from the convenience store near the theater at the same time.
He also noticed that something was wrong with Suman these days.
Su Man always came home late, saying that she had to practice more, but Xiao Beisheng always saw only Su Man staying behind, while the other members of the dance troupe had already gone home on time.
After leaving the theater, Su Man would always go to the convenience store to eat something, and every time, Fang Zhiming would accompany her.
Their relationship became visibly closer.
But there was no excessive overstepping of boundaries.
Su Man and Fang Zhiming are just like ordinary colleagues and friends.
That night.
After Xiao Beisheng finished his socializing, he called Su Man as usual and asked, "Do you still need to practice extra tonight?"
"...Well, the tour is coming up soon, and I want to practice more."
"I drank a little tonight and feel a little dizzy. Can you come and pick me up?"
This was the first time Xiao Beisheng made such a request during a social event.
Su Man asked, "Is Gao Xun not here?"
"He's here." Xiao Beisheng said.
Su Man was silent for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Beisheng said, "Forget it, you don't have to come. It's okay, Gao Xun can just accompany me back."
"Okay. Be careful on the road and ask Gao Xun to drive slowly. When we get back, there are hangover tea bags in the cupboard. You can make some yourself, or you can make some honey water to help you sleep more comfortably."
"Yeah." Xiao Bei responded in a deep voice and hung up the phone.
Su Man was suspicious, but didn't think much about it.
Xiao Beisheng did not go home directly, but asked Gao Xun to drive the car to the opposite side of the street from the convenience store.
Gao Xun comes here so frequently that he is familiar with the route. Now, even without using the navigation, he can drive easily.
Su Man and Fang Zhiming had supper as usual.
After they finished eating, they went out, and Fang Zhiming accompanied Su Man to wait for the car.
At this moment, Xiao Beisheng suddenly opened the car door and got out.
A tall, straight and slender figure, wearing a black leather jacket, walked through the dark blue night of the street, crossed the wide street, and walked straight towards Su Man and Fang Zhiming.
Gao Xun was sitting in the driver's seat, and was almost shocked by this sudden development.
Mr. Xiao can't hold it in anymore and is about to lose his temper!
He felt his heart pounding: "It's someone else who got caught cheating, but why do I feel so excited?"
