Zhou Yi felt that except for the driver, the other three people in the car were staring at her.
She quickly emphasized again: "This is really my first time here. I was looking out the window excitedly just now. Didn't you notice?"
"You noticed it, but your expression is more like you're looking at an old friend you haven't seen for a long time, not like you're seeing a completely new place." Xu Xiaoxiu looked at her inquiringly.
Xu Xiaoxiu often felt that Zhou Yi gave her a mysterious feeling, such as when talking about France, or when they drank coffee for the first time.
"Xiao Xiu, you are having an illusion. Don't you know whether I had the chance to come to the capital before, Gao Fei and Brother Feng?" Zhou Yi looked at Yun Gaofei and Yun Feng and said.
"Xiao Xiu, Xiaoyi has been staying in the village before, and has never had the opportunity to come to the capital." Yunfeng said to Xu Xiaoxiu.
"It's amazing. I always feel like Xiaoyi has been here." Xu Xiaoxiu said with a smile.
Yun Gaofei also found it amazing. He also felt that Zhou Yi didn't look like this was his first visit.
No one kept pestering Zhou Yi, and the conversation passed with laughter. Then, question baby Yunfeng continued his barrage of questions.
The car drove all the way to the restaurant. The sky was gradually getting dark, but Yunfeng still remained curious.
The location that Ma Peipei found was pretty good. It was a private restaurant next to the downtown area. The private restaurant was located in an enclosed courtyard, and the environment and privacy looked very good. The owner's surname was Yang, and he should have a good relationship with Ma Peipei.
After Zhou Yi and his friends arrived, Boss Yang personally came to the parking lot to greet them.
"Miss Zhou, right?" Boss Yang, dressed in a well-tailored suit, politely stepped forward to greet Zhou Yi. "I'm the owner of this private restaurant, and I'm also Peipei's good friend, Yang Nianhua."
"Hello, Mr. Yang." Zhou Yi said with a smile, and then introduced Yun Gaofei and others to Yang Nianhua.
When introducing Xu Xiaoxiu, Yang Nianhua raised his finger and said with a smile, "Sister Xu, I've heard a lot about you!"
Xu Xiaoxiu was a little surprised. She and Ma Peipei had a good relationship, but they had never met each other's friends before. She didn't expect that Ma Peipei's friends actually knew her.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Yang." Xu Xiaoxiu said a little embarrassedly. After all, it always feels a little weird to be called by a nickname by a stranger.
"Before, Peipei often mentioned you and Miss Zhou to us, especially after he came back from the costume competition, your names were always on his lips. It is an honor for Yang's private restaurant to have the two talented ladies here today!" Yang Nianhua said generously.
After saying that, he shook hands with them enthusiastically, including Yun Gaofei and Yun Feng.
Zhou Yi and Xu Xiaoxiu exchanged glances, and saw the same words in each other's eyes: "Ma Peipei, he's using them as a topic of conversation. He'll be in big trouble tomorrow."
Ma Peipei at home suddenly sneezed a few times, wondering if someone was thinking about him.
With Yang Nianhua's warm hospitality, Zhou Yi and his companions were able to experience the warm hospitality of the people of Beijing and the authentic cuisine.
Ma Peipei didn't show up until the end of dinner. It seems that the Ma family's affairs are quite tricky.
It was almost eight o'clock when we left the private restaurant. Fortunately, our residence was not too far away and we could get there in half an hour.
The driver took Zhou Yi and the others back to their residence before leaving.
Zhou Yi and others stood in front of the gate of the courtyard given to her by He Zhan. The first one to express surprise was Xu Xiaoxiu.
"Xiaoyi, your senior brother's gift is pretty good. He actually built a courtyard house for you at the foot of the imperial city, and it looks quite grand." Xu Xiaoxiu said with a smile, putting his arm around Zhou Yi's shoulder.
"Xiaoyi, this yard is quite nice. I didn't expect that He Zhan could get such a nice house." Yunfeng said while touching the stone lion outside the door.
Yun Gaofei took a good look around the yard, making sure the location was safe before saying, "It's a good location."
"It looks really good. Let's go in and take a look." Zhou Yi waved his hand and said with a bit of banditry.
Zhou Yi and his companions walked in from the main gate. A row of back houses faced the hanging flower gate in the courtyard, which was the second gate. When they walked in from the second gate, they first saw a square courtyard. There were three main rooms in front of the courtyard, and there were ear rooms on each side of the main rooms. The east and west wing rooms also had ear rooms. The east and west wing rooms were connected to the kitchen and toilet, with the kitchen in the east and toilet in the west.
A winding corridor connects to the third courtyard at the back, where there is the rear wing, with three large rooms lined up in a row and side rooms on both sides.
The yard is a very standard Beijing three-sided courtyard house. The interior decoration has been renovated and all the necessary things are available, including the three major items.
"Xiaoyi, it seems that He Zhan has put a lot of thought into you." Xu Xiaoxiu looked at Zhou Yi with a hint of teasing.
Yun Gaofei, who was standing by, heard Xu Xiaoxiu's teasing expression, his face darkened, and without saying a word, he motioned Yun Feng to go with him to pack the luggage.
The people arranged by He Zhan simply put all the luggage in the back house next to the gate. The back house also had three large rooms, one of which was decorated as a living room, and the other two were guest rooms.
Yun Gaofei and Yun Feng each lived in a room, Xu Xiaoxiu and Zhou Yi lived in the second courtyard. Zhou Yi naturally lived in the main room, and Xu Xiaoxiu lived in the east wing.
"My senior brother is really okay. He is careful in his work and is currently single. Xiaoxiu, you are single too. Why don't you consider him?" Zhou Yi smiled and looked at Xu Xiaoxiu with some ulterior motives.
"Stop, don't mess with the couple. He Zhan is so outstanding, don't waste his time, ha." Xu Xiaoxiu smiled and patted Zhou Yi's shoulder.
"If you look down on my senior brother, what about Ma Peipei?" Zhou Yi said with a smile.
When Xu Xiaoxiu heard this, he quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yun Gaofei and Yun Feng were not there.
"What are you afraid of? They have already left." Zhou Yi pulled Xu Xiaoxiu to sit on the stone bench in the main courtyard of the second courtyard.
"Xiaoyi, don't talk nonsense. Ma Peipei and I are just classmates and best friends. It's not what you think." After sitting down, Xu Xiaoxiu looked at Zhou Yi and said seriously.
But Zhou Yi saw the hint of shyness hidden under the serious expression.
"Really? Just classmates and close friends?" Zhou Yi smiled and leaned over to stare at Xu Xiaoxiu. "Xiaoxiu, if you really like Ma Peipei, why don't you just say it?"
Xu Xiaoxiu was slightly stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Love is about mutual consent. If it's just one-sided, why bother to speak frankly?"
"If you don't tell me, how do I know it's wishful thinking?" Zhou Yi said with a straight face.
"If he's interested, why hasn't he spoken up?" Xu Xiaoxiu felt even more helpless, then smiled and said, "What about you? You and your Deputy Battalion Commander Yun are making pretty good progress."
"What do you mean by fast progress? That's not happening. Go take a shower and have some rest." When Zhou Yi heard Xu Xiaoxiu was going to tease her and Yun Gaofei, she quickly got up and walked towards the main room.
"What a hypocritical woman!" Xu Xiaoxiu also stood up and said with a chuckle.
