About half an hour later, they arrived at the private restaurant.
Although today is a weekday, there are still quite a few cars parked in the parking lot at the door, which shows how booming the business is.
When ordering dishes, Xu Zhi knew that Chen Yao liked them as soon as he saw her expression, especially when she saw that some of her favorite dishes happened to be the signature dishes of this restaurant, the smile on her face deepened.
Feeling her relaxation and joy, Xu Zhi was in a good mood as well. If she wanted, they could drive over for dinner after training every day. In short, he wanted to make her happier and more relaxed as much as possible.
After ordering the dishes, Chen Yao propped up her chin, turned off her phone in a good mood, and casually threw it aside, blocking out any work messages that might suddenly appear at any time, so as not to affect her rare state of relaxation at the moment.
Xu Zhi also put his phone aside and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yao and placed it in front of her.
"By the way, will you have more part-time jobs in the future?" Xu Zhi suddenly asked, "For example, a part-time job like yesterday."
Chen Yao thought about it and felt that she should have almost passed Zhou Cheng's test. After all, she had been pretending to be by his side for so long, doing her best in everything, and even acting was very skilled at it. In addition, Zhou Cheng always felt that she started from a blank slate and was brought up step by step by him to become the capable person she is now. Naturally, her loyalty was higher than that of some old foxes.
But he couldn't help but be suspicious. After all, he himself was not a person who trusted others very much, so naturally he couldn't trust anyone completely. Even Zhao Ming, who had a close relationship and interests with him, he could only trust him 70%.
But no matter what, what happened yesterday should be Zhou Cheng's last test of her in the near future.
so--
"There probably won't be many more part-time jobs like yesterday," she said. "For the next while, I'd rather focus on training with you."
Xu Zhi was holding the teacup in his hand. When he heard the words, he inexplicably felt his fingertips begin to feel slightly hot, as if the temperature of the tea was too high.
"Okay," he said.
"By the way, when did you start boxing?" Chen Yao knew that he was not the type who started practicing boxing since childhood, and he usually relied more on strength and explosiveness. He did not use many techniques, and mostly won by relying on reaction and strength. Fortunately, he had good innate conditions, and he could still leave others far behind with this fighting style.
"It started a few years ago." Xu Zhi's eyes darkened slightly. "When I first started learning, I was not used to it, and I spent a lot of time trying to learn quickly, but fortunately the result was good."
"You are very talented." Chen Yao said, "With hard work, you are really strong."
Just like a teacher's encouraging praise to students.
Xu Zhi felt like she was comforting him. He looked up at her and smiled, "Teacher Shen is also very talented and strong."
Chen Yao nodded without any embarrassment and said, "I'm very strong."
Xu Zhi recalled how she had controlled her legs so effortlessly each time she swung them at him, and said, "I know."
Chen Yao said meaningfully: "So, if you can't beat someone in the future, call me anytime and I will fly over to fight with you."
They have to kill the bad guys together first, complete the task assigned to her by the organization, and then they can fall in love peacefully.
Xu Zhi: "You speak as if you're leaving soon, Mr. Shen. Is this a parting promise?"
When saying this, Xu Zhi's tone sounded wrong.
But Chen Yao didn't notice it carefully. She counted the days on her fingers seriously, muttering to herself, "It seems like I have been here for a long time, one day, two days, three days..."
Zhou Cheng will probably urge her to go back in about a week, and she must hurry back to Zhou Cheng to collect evidence.
While my thoughts were wandering, two round chocolate balls wrapped in gold were suddenly stuffed between my palms.
After stuffing them in, Xu Zhi didn't let go of his fingers immediately. Instead, he pressed against the two chocolate balls. It wasn't until Chen Yao looked up at him that he slowly loosened his fingers and asked her, "Do you want to eat?"
Chen Yao thought he was trying to change the subject of leaving, so she cooperated and quickly tore open the chocolate ball's wrapper and ate one.
After a while, waiters started coming in to serve the food, and their conversation started flying again.
As they chatted, Chen Yao took the opportunity to ask Xu Zhi about the old man selling flowers, so Xu Zhi started talking about how they first met.
"More than two years ago, I encountered some very bad things and was in a very bad state. During that time, I visited my brother at the cemetery more often."
"At first, I didn't even notice the old man at the entrance to the cemetery. He wasn't the only one selling flowers there, and I wasn't in the mood to observe the details, so I didn't observe him closely."
"Until one time, I went to the cemetery near the early morning. It was quite late at night, and the weather was cold, so many people selling flowers had packed up their stalls and gone home early. There were some stalls that were crowded during the day, but at that time, the old man was the only one selling flowers."
"I saw he didn't have many flowers left, so I was about to ask him why he hadn't packed up and gone home so late, but he suddenly said, 'Sorry, young man, we've sold all the roses.'"
"I was a little confused at the time, so I asked him how he knew I wanted to buy roses. He just smiled and said, 'Don't you always buy roses to bring in when you come here?'"
