Chen Xu asked casually, and Yang Jinxia said it was going smoothly, meaning that there were some twists and turns in the middle, but it was finally done.
"It's just that I want to raise the price temporarily." Yang Jinxia answered casually, taking out a skewer of roasted lamb from the oven and starting to eat.
Among the three women, she was the only one who was compatible with him when it came to eating.
After Luo Xiyun got together with him, she began to consciously control her weight. She would not touch food like barbecue at ordinary times. She would only eat some occasionally when she was dreaming.
Bai Jinxuan was even more amazing. She ate nutritious meals with less oil, salt and carbohydrates. Of course, they rarely had the opportunity to eat together in reality. However, even in dreams, she was very restrained, worried that she would develop a habit and lose control in reality.
This professional attitude made him feel inferior. She was able to achieve such great results, not just because she was cheating.
Yang Jinxia is different from them. She has no dietary restrictions but only controls her food intake. She never avoids barbecue, hotpot, and braised pork.
Chen Xu enjoyed himself more when he ate with her. Moreover, she didn't like the silent atmosphere, so when she was with him, she would chat with him, even if it was just about trivial matters, and she never got tired of it.
Now, he would take the initiative to ask her what was happening around her. After all, communication was a matter between two people. If one person kept talking and the other didn't say a word, the communication would definitely be ineffective.
While eating, Yang Jinxia talked about the negotiation process.
The barbecue restaurant was much quieter than before. Chen Xu could feel a lot of attention focused on this place without even looking. He was used to it. Yang Jinxia rarely went out, and every time she appeared in a public place, she was the focus of attention.
Occasionally, she would run into one or two people who were naughty and would take secret photos with their mobile phones. Fortunately, she never went out alone and always took the female driver with her. The female driver was no ordinary person and always spotted them in time and stepped forward to stop them.
The two chatted while eating. Chen Xu was in charge of grilling the food, and she added the seasoning herself at the end.
Sitting in front of the fireplace, Yang Jinxia drank some beer. Maybe he put too much chili in it. After eating a string of squid, a few beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose while he was breathing. His face was also red, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
She took a sip of beer, looked him in the eyes, and suddenly said, "New Year's Day is coming soon."
Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Chen Xu understood what she meant as soon as she said that. He didn't say anything, but just took out a tissue and helped her wipe the sweat off the tip of her nose.
She took the tissue from his hand and wiped it herself, but did not continue the topic. She drank the beer in the glass and said, "I'm done, let's go."
Chen Xu stood up and walked out. The bill had already been settled, so they left immediately.
It was already past midnight and there were not many people on the street because it was too cold.
The female driver had already driven the car over, but Yang Jinxia had no intention of getting in the car and walked forward along the sidewalk. Chen Xu saw that her clothes were a little thin, so he took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.
She didn't say anything, letting him put on his coat and walk forward silently. Amid the sound of her high heels tapping on the ground, the street lights beside them stretched and shortened their shadows from time to time.
Chen Xu didn't say anything, just followed beside him. It was a different kind of experience in the cold winter night.
He knew that she was unhappy, and the root cause was what she had just said.
The Chinese New Year is coming. For Chinese people, this is the most important day.
Chen Xu could fool around with festivals like Mid-Autumn Festival and Valentine's Day, but he couldn't do that during the Chinese New Year. He had to go home to be with his parents. So the question was, who should he bring home?
Bai Jinxuan's problem is not too big. She has already confirmed that she will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year. She will be in Beijing and will not be able to come back no matter what.
And there are Luo Xiyun and Yang Jinxia, who should I take back?
As for bringing them home together, it was just a thought. That would offend both of them. Moreover, his parents might not be able to accept him bringing two girlfriends home for the New Year.
What a headache.
Chen Xu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't think of any way to pass it.
"Get in the car."
After walking for more than ten minutes, perhaps feeling a little cold, Yang Jinxia suddenly stopped and said.
The car next to them had been following them. They opened the door and got in. The heater in the car was turned on very high. After sitting for a while, their bodies, which had been stiffened by the wind, finally warmed up.
Chen Xu has a good physique, but he is not immune to cold. He now pays more attention to the appearance of his clothes, relying entirely on his coat to keep warm. After taking it off, he was blown by the cold wind in the middle of the night and it was indeed quite cold.
This place was not far from the hotel where Chen Xu was staying. It was the middle of the night and there were not many cars on the road, so the journey was smooth and we arrived in less than twenty minutes.
When we entered the hotel, the receptionist was yawning. When he saw someone coming in, he stood up quickly. When he saw Chen Xu and the other person, he looked a little strange.
As soon as Chen Xu saw her expression, he knew that she recognized him. Before, he lived in the same room with Luo Xiyun, and now he brought another woman with him. It was no wonder that she had such an expression.
This thought went through his mind and he had already walked to the elevator. At this time, Yang Jinxia looked up at him with a playful smile in her eyes.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
“You deserve it.”
Soon, they took the elevator and arrived at the room.
Yang Jinxia walked around the room, no emotion visible on her face.
Chen Xu said, "Actually, we can change to another hotel."
He and Luo Xiyun had lived in this room before, so there was no way she didn't care.
"Why didn't you mention it just now?" Yang Jinxia said, "Don't I know what you are thinking?"
Chen Xu played dumb, "I just thought of it."
Yang Jinxia walked towards a room and said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going to sleep."
Chen Xu followed her, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "Let me give you a massage."
"No." Yang Jinxia shook her shoulders, shook his hand off, and said, "Your hands are always dishonest."
"This time, I will be honest."
"Don't even think about it." Yang Jinxia stood at the door, stopped him outside, and said, "Don't even think about touching me tonight." With that, she slammed the door and locked him outside.
