Shen Xin remembered that she once said that she loved Ye Zhiyou's gratitude.
Today is no exception.
Ye Zhiyou is handsome, and the grapes in his hand look so delicious. She is just one step away from becoming a tyrant!
However, this place is not next to her bed, but in a western restaurant!
Shen Xin couldn't help but pay attention to the people around who were also coming to eat, but Ye Zhiyou seemed to not care at all. He peeled the grapes and handed them to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin: “…”
If you don’t eat, you are not a human being.
She quickly glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then quickly opened her mouth and ate the grapes that Ye Zhiyou had peeled.
Ye Zhiyou inexplicably felt like he was feeding a small animal. Shen Xin looked much cuter than the little deer in the forest park.
He is somewhat addicted.
"Do you want more?" As he said this, his slender fingers picked up another crystal clear grape. Shen Xin covered the corner of his mouth with his hand and shook his head: "No more?"
Ye Zhiyou raised his eyebrows: "Is it not tasty?"
"No...just eat here, just like a thief."
Ye Zhiyou quickly understood what she meant: "You don't have to care about the opinions of people around you."
Shen Xin is not Ye Zhiyou, she is not that shameless: "No, let's go to another place next time."
Ye Zhiyou thought about it, nodded, and put the grapes into his mouth: "Okay, where do you want to go?"
Shen Xin: “…”
No, why did this question sound so... flirtatious and obscene when he asked it?
"Excuse me, this is the appetizer you ordered." Fortunately, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Shen Xin buried her head in her food and didn't look at Ye Zhiyou who was sitting opposite her. Ye Zhiyou ate a grape and asked Shen Xin, "I still owe you three meals. Think about where to eat the next meal."
Shen Xin wanted to go out for a big meal every day, but the reality didn't allow it: "The company is going to hold its annual meeting soon, and I have to rehearse the annual meeting program every day, so time is tight. It's better to wait until the annual meeting is over."
"good."
Shen Xin looked at him curiously: "Ye Zhiyou, will your company hold an annual meeting?"
Ye Zhiyou nodded: "Of course." Speaking of which, Ruiyi's annual meeting is about to start, and he will have to show up then.
Shen Xin asked him, "Will you perform at the annual meeting?"
"Of course not."
Shen Xin said: "Why? You have many talents. If you just perform a stand-up comedy, you can crush all other programs."
Ye Zhiyou: “…”
He smiled at Shen Xin: "So your show this time is crosstalk?"
Shen Xin blinked: "Why, do you want to come together?"
...Ye Zhiyou lowered his head and ate.
Because Ye Zhiyou opened a bottle of red wine and they both drank some during the meal, they couldn't drive home. Ye Zhiyou had to ask Jian Hang to drive them back.
Jian Hang had always suspected that Ye Zhiyou was in love. When he came to pick him up today, he saw that he and Shen Xin came to eat Western food together. He immediately locked on the biggest suspect - Shen Xin!
Tour guide Shen, she is good-looking and has good business skills. She is quite likable. But she works in H city, and Mr. Ye has to go back to A city to inherit the company. Doesn't that mean they will have to have a long-distance relationship? Will this affect their relationship? If it affects their relationship, Mr. Ye will be in a bad mood, and he will also be in trouble. Also, has the Ye family secretly arranged a marriage for Mr. Ye? Will they prevent Mr. Ye from having a free love relationship? If Mr. Ye's mother takes a check of 50 million and asks Shen Xin to leave Mr. Ye, will Shen Xin accept it?
All the way from the restaurant to the villa, Jian Hang was already worried about them.
After Shen Xin got home, Li Shutang was waiting for her in the living room again, acting like a class teacher. Shen Xin twitched her lips and pretended not to see her.
"Shen Xin! We agreed to tell you about the progress between you and Mr. Ye!" Li Shutang stopped Shen Xin who wanted to go upstairs.
Shen Xin was very helpless: "We just had a meal together, we didn't have a romantic relationship."
Li Shutang frowned: "Eating together even though we're not in a relationship?"
Shen Xin: “?”
How come Li Shutang is such a conservative person?
"Didn't I lead a tour for him a few days ago? His clients were very satisfied and his business was going very smoothly, so he treated me to a meal. Is there any problem?"
"Yes!" Li Shutang walked towards her, raised her right hand and gave her a wall-dong. "Even your business is going smoothly, but your relationship is stagnant. Learn something from your business!"
Shen Xin: “…”
She squatted down and passed under Li Shutang's arm. Li Shutang grabbed the hood of her clothes and pulled her back: "I haven't finished talking yet."
Shen Xin gave her another fake smile: "Then may I ask if Miss Li has anything else to say?"
Li Shutang said, "Isn't Christmas next week? Chi Jun and I are going to a Christmas dinner, you can come too."
Shen Xin thought for a moment and asked her, "Is it a gathering of rich people?"
"More or less, but the food will be delicious, just think of it as a meal."
"That's fine."
Li Shutang made the final decision: "It's settled then. I'll ask you to do the facial and buy clothes in advance. You should also apply the facial mask in advance these few days. Don't be lazy! I think Mr. Ye is more diligent than you."
"..." Shen Xin asked sincerely, "How did you figure that out?"
"Look at the condition of his skin! Although his skin was originally good, it has become even worse recently. How can we lose to him!"
Shen Xin: “…”
Li Shutang is surprisingly competitive in this regard.
Shen Xin didn't have much time left. In order to not lose to Ye Zhiyou in applying facial masks, Li Shutang supervised her every day and didn't let her slack off. The day before Christmas, she followed Li Shutang to get facials and bought a new dress. There were many Christmas-style dresses in the mall, and Li Shutang was so happy that she bought five of them.
On the day of the dinner, Chi Jun drove to Li Shutang's house to pick them up. Xie Kaihuai kept clamoring to go, but was beaten by Li Shutang and sent back to school.
Shen Xin actually didn't like this kind of occasion, but today was Christmas after all, so she came out to feel the festive atmosphere. In order to fit the Christmas theme, the banquet hall was decorated like a fairy tale world. Even if she came just to take pictures, it would be worth the trip.
Li Shutang took a few selfies with Shen Xin, and asked Chi Jun to take photos for them. In order to live up to the gorgeous decorations in the venue, Li Shutang took Shen Xin to pose in many ways. After the photo shoot, Shen Xin looked at Chi Jun's straight-man style photography works and took the initiative to suggest that she be the photographer to take photos for Li Shutang and Chi Jun.
"That's it, that's it, three, two..." Before Shen Xin could even say "one", Li Shutang suddenly pointed behind her. Shen Xin took away her phone and looked at her: "Li Shutang, what are you doing?"
Li Shutang was still pointing behind her, her expression still somewhat excited: "Mr. Ye!"
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Ye Zhiyou walking towards them with a glass of red wine.
"What a coincidence, you guys are also coming to this Christmas party?" Ye Zhiyou walked up to Shen Xin and stopped. Shen Xin put down his phone, smiled at him and said, "Yes, Li Shutang said there are a lot of delicious food here, so I came to join in the fun."
"Mr. Ye, what a coincidence." Li Shutang walked up with Chi Jun on her arm and greeted Ye Zhiyou, "I didn't expect you to be here too. That's perfect. I'll leave Shen Xin to your care. Chi Jun and I are going to play over there."
After she finished speaking, she walked away with Chi Jun. Shen Xin pulled the corner of her mouth and said to Ye Zhiyou: "Don't worry about me. You are here to discuss business, right? I can find food by myself."
Ye Zhiyou said, "It doesn't matter. I've almost met everyone I need to meet. What do you want to eat?"
"I don't know either. Let's see what's delicious." Shen Xin said as she walked around the banquet hall. Ye Zhiyou followed her all the time.
“I just tried this, it tastes pretty good.”
"Really?" Shen Xin took a piece of the red velvet cake that Ye Zhiyou recommended and took a bite. "Well, it's really good. Ah, I suddenly miss Yu's dessert paradise under Starlight Department Store."
Although there are restaurants and Starlight Department Store opened by Yushi in H City, the dessert mecca of Yushi is currently only in the main store of Starlight Department Store in A City. Thinking of this, Shen Xin became even more greedy.
Ye Zhiyou said, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, you should go home, right? I'll treat you to a meal then."
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking that she didn't go home for the New Year last year, so no matter what, she should go back and take a look today.
"Okay, but after you go back to City A, can you come back?" Shen Xinke still remembered the man in black who was chasing Ye Zhiyou all over the street.
Ye Zhiyou, however, didn't take them seriously at all: "If my father could really lock me up, I wouldn't be standing here now."
...That also makes sense.
As the two were chatting, the music in the hall suddenly changed, and a host came out and said that everyone could now find a partner and go to the dance floor to dance.
Li Shutang and Chi Jun were the first to go up. Shen Xin and Ye Zhiyou stood outside the dance floor, watching them with food in their hands.
"They both danced quite well," commented Ye Zhiyou.
Shen Xin said, "They often hang out together. Besides dancing this national standard dance, they are also great at disco dancing."
Li Shutang, who was dancing on the dance floor, turned around and saw a familiar figure. After recognizing him, she frowned slightly. Chi Junhe noticed her emotional changes sharply, and when he pulled her into his arms, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Shutang said: "I saw Zhou Yao."
"Zhou Yao?" Chi Jun felt that the name sounded familiar. After a moment's thought, he remembered who this person was. "Sister Shen Xin's boyfriend?"
"Yes." Li Shutang subconsciously glanced at Shen Xin at the edge of the dance floor, "I didn't expect Zhou Yao to come. It would be bad if Shen Xin saw him."
Li Shutang wanted to go over and pull Shen Xin away, but before she could do so, Shen Xin had already seen Zhou Yao. Her eyes paused and her expression changed slightly.
As if sensing her gaze, Zhou Yao also looked at him. His movements seemed to freeze for a moment, and then he walked out of the dance floor with his partner.
"It's over, it's over, let's hurry over." Li Shutang saw Zhou Yao going to find Shen Xin, and pulled Chi Jun to follow him.
"Shen Xin, long time no see." Zhou Yao greeted Shen Xin gently. Shen Xin pursed her lips slightly, looked at him and his dance partner, and replied with a faint smile: "Yes, long time no see."
"How have you been lately?"
"fine."
After the brief conversation, the two seemed to have no more topics to talk about, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Finally, it was Zhou Yao's dance partner who asked, "Zhou Yao, won't you introduce yourself to me?"
Zhou Yao seemed to have just come to his senses and introduced them to each other: "This is Shen Xin, this is Chen Yu." He glanced at Shen Xin and then continued: "Chen Yu and I are getting married next year."
"Oh..." Shen Xin seemed a little absent-minded, but finally smiled at them, "Congratulations to you."
"Thank you." Chen Yu also smiled at her.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Shen Xin said, put down the food in her hand, and walked out. Zhou Yao, who stayed where he was, nodded and smiled at Ye Zhiyou, and also walked away with Chen Yu. As soon as he turned around, he ran into Li Shutang and Chi Jun.
Zhou Yao knew Li Shutang. She and Shen Xin were college classmates and they had met before. Seeing that Li Shutang looked unhappy, he did not take the initiative to talk to her. He just nodded politely and walked away.
"What's wrong with Shen Xin?" Li Shutang ignored Zhou Yao and walked up to ask Ye Zhiyou.
Ye Zhiyou frowned slightly and looked in the direction where Shen Xin left: "She said she was going to the bathroom. Who was that person just now?"
Li Shutang sighed and said, "It was her sister's ex-boyfriend."
"Sister?" Ye Zhiyou turned to look at her, "Didn't they say Shen Xin has a brother?"
"Yes, her sister and her brother were born in 1939, but... her sister met with an accident three years ago and is no longer with us." Li Shutang said this with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Shen Xin has always had a knot in her heart about this matter."
Ye Zhiyou was stunned for a moment and asked her, "Wasn't her sister's incident an accident?"
"It was an accident, but at that time... Hey, you should ask Shen Xin yourself. I can't say much."
Ye Zhiyou frowned, put down the wine glass in his hand, and chased in the direction where Shen Xin left: "I'll go and take a look."
Shen Xin did not go to the bathroom. She walked out of the banquet hall and sat directly on the swing in the garden. When Ye Zhiyou came over, he saw her holding the swing handrails with both hands, swinging back and forth.
"Aren't you cold sitting here?"
Ye Zhiyou's voice fell from above his head. Shen Xin looked up at him without answering.
Ye Zhiyou looked at her and continued, "I heard about that person from Li Shutang just now."
"Oh." Shen Xin lowered her head again and responded, "It's nothing, actually. My sister is gone, and it's impossible for him to never find a girlfriend again. I just think that when people leave, the tea gets cold, and the person who once made a vow to you will find someone new and start a new life. It's only been three years, and he has let go of my sister. Then in another three years, or thirty years, will anyone in this world still remember my sister?"
A new tune slowly floated out from the banquet hall and gently fell into the moonlit garden.
Shen Xin still lowered her head, and her mood seemed a little low: "No, at least I will still remember her..."
Ye Zhiyou reached out his hand and pulled her up from the swing. Shen Xin looked up at him in surprise. The music in the banquet hall just changed its tune at this moment.
Ye Zhiyou put one hand on Shen Xin's waist and led her to dance in the garden: "Do you know this song?"
Shen Xin was a little confused, and answered him almost subconsciously: "The famous tango piece "One Step Away"."
"That's right." Ye Zhiyou smiled and continued to lead Shen Xin to dance in the garden. "Tango is said to be a secret dance between lovers, so when dancing, they frequently look back and look around, just to avoid being discovered."
He helped Shen Xin to complete a backbend, then smiled and pulled her back into his arms: "You dance well, too. It seems you go out to play a lot."
"...No, I just learned it when I was a kid."
"Oh? Is it an interest class that your parents enrolled you in, or are you taking it as a social studies class?"
Shen Xinwei pursed her lips and didn't answer. Ye Zhiyou smiled and changed the subject: "When you talked to me about movies last time, weren't you very knowledgeable? Then you must have seen "Scent of a Woman"?"
"So what if I've seen it?" Shen Xin hadn't danced for a long time. She thought she had almost forgotten it all, but she didn't expect that now that Ye Zhiyou was leading her, she could actually keep up with his steps.
Ye Zhiyou held her in his arms and spun her around, saying to her, "There's a line in the movie: Life is not a tango, so there's no such thing as a wrong step."
Shen Xin pulled the corner of his mouth: "Don't fool me, what they said is that tango is not life, there is no such thing as a wrong step."
"It's all the same." Ye Zhiyou said, "Life is so long, it's normal to make a few mistakes."
Shen Xin said: "But some mistakes can't be undone once they're made."
Ye Zhiyou said, "The law gives people who have made mistakes a chance to reform, but you just sentenced yourself to death? The protagonist in the movie finally gave up the idea of suicide and regained his confidence. Is this the meaning and hope of the movie you mentioned?"
Shen Xin did not speak until the dance was over, and then Ye Zhiyou let her go. When the song ended, a new song started in the banquet hall. Shen Xin and Ye Zhiyou stood side by side in the garden, quietly basking in the moonlight.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight." Ye Zhiyou looked up at the moon in the sky and suddenly said this.
"Ah?" Shen Xin didn't react again, and looked up, "It seems to be similar to yesterday."
Ye Zhiyou: “…”
He retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Xin beside him, with a hint of reproach in his eyes: "Don't you usually read books?"
Shen Xin said: "Look."
"What book are you reading?"
Shen Xin recalled for a moment, and listed them one by one to Ye Zhiyou: "H City Tourism and Development", "Policies, Regulations and Professional Ethics", "H City Tour Guide Collection"... "
"That's enough." Ye Zhiyou raised his hand and loosened his tie. "You should read some literary works occasionally, such as Natsume Soseki's."
"Oh..." Shen Xin responded in a daze.
Why does Ye Zhiyou look like her high school Chinese teacher?
