Silence. After a long, awkward silence, the two looked at each other in silence.
The assistant, holding her chin with both hands, screamed inwardly: What should I do! What should I do! What should I do!
Li Fang, stay calm. You have seen the world and are a top student who graduated from a 985 university. Stay calm. You can do it.
Fu Jingchuan turned his eyes away awkwardly, not meeting the gaze of his panicked subordinate across the table.
He coughed a little guiltily, but still maintained his tough attitude, trying to cover up the truth and give an explanation that he was trying to cover up his mistake.
"I'm so excited. You know, this is my friend's first time in love. Even I, your best friend, am nervous."
I know, I know, I know shit.
I know you, my boss, are a tough guy.
Okay!
An assistant, who had rubbed the document in his hand several times and almost rubbed his skin bald, managed to curl the corners of his lips with difficulty.
I smiled and pretended to be like that.
"I understand. I understand."
Then the assistant naturally changed the topic.
Yuer got up, took a shower, dried her hair, and went to the cloakroom to change her clothes.
After she tidied herself up and finished all the chores, she picked up her phone.
The messages on her lit phone came flooding in, leaving her no time to react.
Looking at the news that was cold and thin compared to his own, the other side was very enthusiastic.
It seems like he is not aware of his own indifference on the other end of the phone.
Yu'er stared at the message about dinner appointment and pondered for a moment. Somehow, she imagined Fu Jingchuan as a clingy big dog in her mind.
My heart softened and I sent a message saying "hmm".
It seemed like the person on the other end was always watching the phone, and the next second, Fu Jingchuan replied.
Fu Jingchuan: "Then wait for me at home, I'll be there soon."
I stood up, took my phone, and ignored everything else, not even going to class.
He picked up the suit jacket from the hanger next to him and put it on.
Fu Jingchuan had long legs and was eager to meet someone, so he took two long steps to the door.
The man paused as the bony hand touched the door handle.
When visiting the home of his future girlfriend’s elders for the first time, it would be difficult for the future son-in-law to go empty-handed.
Fortunately, there is a large supermarket downstairs from the office. The problem is what to buy?
We are a young man like Mr. Fu, and we don’t like the old ways at all.
When the time came, I pushed a cart and wandered around the supermarket like a headless fly.
There was no other way, and I thought of my enemy assistant again.
An assistant who was abandoned by her immediate boss was already very busy at work, and now she had to deal with her boss who was pursuing her for the first time.
The assistant complained with a hint of death on his face.
"He's not even a son-in-law yet, but he's already rushing to the door to offer gifts and propose marriage."
Although he said that, he actually just typed a reply to his boss who asked for help.
Assistant: "I'm just giving your friend a suggestion. It's up to him whether to adopt it or not."
Assistant: "For the mother-in-law, you can give her a silk scarf, skin care products, or nutritional supplements like bird's nest or ginseng."
"My father-in-law said, 'Send cigarettes, wine, and tea.'"
"Look at what your future girlfriend likes and buy her some snacks and entertainment she's interested in."
"Of course, skincare and cosmetics are also acceptable, catering to people's preferences."
Fu Jingchuan suddenly realized what was going on and was pleased to be called father-in-law, mother-in-law, and girlfriend.
He really felt that the military advisor beside him was awesome. He nodded in approval and then headed towards the snack area without even turning his head.
Although she was going out soon, Yuer was lazy and didn't want to dress up.
I applied sunscreen and lipstick as usual, and waited for nearly 40 minutes before the message came.
Fu Jingchuan: "I'm at your door."
Yu'er didn't reply. She picked up the small bag and went downstairs.
Just as I went down from the second floor to the first floor, I happened to run into Fu Jingchuan who had parked his car and was carrying bags of gifts into his home.
She paused slightly, and her indescribable gaze lingered on the room full of gifts and the man.
Yu'er curled up the fingers holding the bag, and after a while, she spoke with difficulty.
"Why bring so many gifts?"
Fu Jingchuan held two boxes of bird's nests in his left hand and two boxes of tea in his right hand.
Bending down to put the gift on the table, he began to explain to Yu'er on the steps as if it was his duty.
"As a junior, I can't come empty-handed on my first visit."
Not to mention Yu'er, the servants in the house saw that the gifts on and around the table were piled up in a short time.
If you don’t know, you might think that the young lady’s boyfriend came to propose marriage.
Her gaze lingered on Fu Jingchuan's self-conscious face for a moment, and Yu'er, holding her forehead helplessly, regretted her previous momentary soft-heartedness.
But since she was already here, she couldn't regret it.
Before leaving, Yuer glanced at the pile of gifts behind her and her gaze stayed there for two seconds.
I comforted myself that it was not a big deal and I could just find an excuse to return it someday.
On the road, Fu Jingchuan, who was driving, saw the red light ahead and lightly stepped on the brakes.
Turning to look at the passenger seat, Yu'er was very quiet after getting in the car. She just took a few bites of the sandwich I bought for her.
Try to bring up topics that interest her.
"You've been abroad for three years. Do you need to adapt to the food in China? Is there anything you don't eat?"
Yu'er had her head down, but when she heard the question from the person next to her, she looked at the person driving the car and answered nonchalantly.
"It's not about adapting or not. Even though I've been abroad for three years, I still have a die-hard Chinese stomach. Compared to Western food, the food here is still delicious."
Fu Jingchuan, who had originally planned to take her to eat Western food, changed his mind instantly when he heard this.
"Let me take you to eat Chinese food. There's a Cantonese restaurant that does great food."
Considering Yu'er's poor health, I didn't dare take her to try dishes with strong flavors.
After thinking about it, I remembered that there was a farm at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs of Jincheng.
The free-range chicken and fish there are authentic and taste great.
Of course Yu'er didn't object. The two drove for more than an hour, and they saw that they were getting further and further away, and there was no one on either side of the road.
It was almost one in the afternoon when we finally got off the bus.
Looking at the farmhouse restaurant in the valley, Yu'er felt regretful again and again.
The man in front turned around when he saw that no one was following him.
Yu'er looked at him silently, then finally resigned herself to her fate, lowered her eyes, and followed him.
This restaurant does very good business and customers are still coming in an endless stream even after lunch time.
The two waited for a while until the aunt had cleared the dishes from the customers at the previous table and wiped the table.
Fu Jingchuan was afraid of being disliked, so he picked up the tissue paper on the dining table and carefully wiped the table and chairs again before asking Yu'er, who was sitting at the next table, to come and sit down.
Seeing that she didn't talk much, I thought she disliked me.
He took the dishes and chopsticks, rinsed Yu'er's water, poured her tea, and after a busy period, he explained in a low voice.
"Don't be fooled by the remote location of this place. The food is really good. You'll know once you try it."
Like explaining, like being afraid of people getting angry, like a child who is at a loss as to what to do.
For some reason, Yu'er's heart suddenly softened. She took a sip of the tea he placed in front of her and nodded.
"Okay, I'll try it. If it's delicious, I'll bring my parents over next time."
Fu Jingchuan wagged his tail like a big dog and nodded very vigorously.
"Yeah, okay!"
I want to come along too.
