Chapter 87 I feel sorry for her
The reason why Huo Qingqing was able to come here to eat with Su Pengcheng was because he had helped her in Hanjiagou, but she didn't expect that he would bring her here to eat and introduce her to his friends.
Su Pengcheng locked the car and found Huo Qingqing standing there with her lips pursed and a smile that did not reach her eyes.
Su Pengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since we are here, why don't we go in?"
Huo Qingqing looked straight at Su Pengcheng and said, "I know you mean well, but in the future, you'd better tell me clearly about dinners like this. You know my situation to some extent, and I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble."
Su Pengcheng frowned and looked up at Huo Qingqing, "I was inconsiderate today. If you think it's inappropriate, then just don't make friends. It's not too much to just have a simple meal, right?"
Huo Qingqing actually didn't know much about Su Pengcheng's situation. She only knew that he was from Kyoto, and knew nothing else. After all, her life in her previous life was hard to describe, so she had no mood to care about other people's affairs.
Huo Qingqing nodded and said, "Okay! I don't mean anything else, but it's a bit inappropriate to meet your friend so abruptly."
Su Pengcheng didn't think so, but he didn't want to argue with her at the moment, so he said, "Then let's just have dinner. We won't know anyone."
As Huo Qingqing and Su Pengcheng entered the room, a large table of young people waved to them. Su Pengcheng arranged a seat for Huo Qingqing by the window and said, "Wait a moment. I'll go say hello to them and come over."
Huo Qingqing was not making a fuss. After all, she knew what Su Pengcheng was thinking in this life, so she couldn't pretend not to know. After all, she had a family, so she had to be sensible when making friends, especially friends of the opposite sex.
That man had given her all he had for her, so she couldn't let him down in the slightest. That was only fair.
Su Pengcheng came over quickly. Huo Qingqing was looking at the menu. This was one of the few Western restaurants in Kyoto.
Huo Qingqing ordered a steak and a dessert. Su Pengcheng also ordered a steak, a salad, two glasses of juice, and other snacks.
Huo Qingqing noticed that the people at that table kept looking at them and commenting on them.
"Did you tell your friend in advance that you would bring me here?"
Su Pengcheng was stunned. "It's okay. Don't worry about them. We grew up together. It's nothing."
While waiting for the food, Su Pengcheng looked at Huo Qingqing with open eyes, "You don't have to worry about anything. I just think that you can study here alone and have more friends and more options. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can ask them for help. After all, our school is strictly managed, and most of the time you can't go out during holidays."
Huo Qingqing: "..."
Su Pengcheng continued, "I know what you are worried about. Even if you get married and have children, you are still yourself first! You have personal freedom and the freedom to make friends, right? When I went to the countryside before, due to the environment, I had no choice about too many things. But after returning to the city, whether studying or working, socializing is also a part of our lives! You can't just revolve around Brother Han all your life!
Even if Brother Han is extremely capable, if something happens to you here, he won't be able to do anything to you, right? ”
There was nothing wrong with every word Su Pengcheng said, but Huo Qingqing felt uncomfortable hearing it. To be honest, she didn't want to offend Su Pengcheng for no reason. After all, he had never hurt her in his past or present life, and he had no grudges against her. But she felt uncomfortable listening to what he said at this moment.
Huo Qingqing picked up the cup and looked at Su Pengcheng, "I'll toast to you!"
The two clinked their glasses, Huo Qingqing took a sip of juice and said, "I believe all your intentions are good, but I also have the right to refuse. What do you think?"
Su Pengcheng, "..."
Huo Qingqing continued, "I think making friends is a natural thing, not something you do deliberately. I believe your friends are all good people, but I don't have the energy to make friends deliberately. Although you and I have both lived in the countryside for many years, our experiences are different. You just joined the team as an educated youth, while I have truly integrated into the countryside life. Maybe I haven't integrated into the city life yet!"
There were several girls at their table. They were all about the same age as Huo Qingqing. Some looked even older than her. But they were all unmarried and had no children. There was no trace of the daily necessities of life, household chores, or children on their shoulders. Even though Huo Qingqing was living a good life after returning home, it was still different from before.
A person has limited energy. If you try to make friends deliberately, you have to spend time and effort maintaining the relationships, which is too tiring for Huo Qingqing.
Su Pengcheng has always sympathized with Huo Qingqing and felt sorry for her. No matter how she and Han Jianwu are now in harmony and their life seems happy, in his opinion it is a helpless choice and he has no choice. So, he still feels sorry for her and is upset for her, but he can do nothing about it.
Su Pengcheng raised his glass, looked at Huo Qingqing, and said, "I was inconsiderate. This is my apology."
Huo Qingqing, "I don't need to apologize. I also know you have no bad intentions."
The food came, and the two of them lowered their heads to eat. When they were almost done, Su Pengcheng asked, "Has Brother Han arranged a job after arriving in Xijing?"
Huo Qingqing looked up at Su Pengcheng and said, "I have arranged it. I will ask one of my father's old subordinates to drive the car first, and then wait for the opportunity."
Su Pengcheng said, "Not bad, this is Brother Han's specialty, with his ability he will definitely be able to do it well."
Huo Qingqing, "I also think he can do a good job."
Huo Qingqing knew that being a driver for such a big leader in Yangcheng was not an easy job.
The two of them didn't have much to talk about, mainly because Huo Qingqing felt she had nothing to talk to Su Pengcheng about, and Su Pengcheng was also ashamed of his own stupid behavior today, so he had to talk a few random words and sent her back.
When they left, everyone at the table stood up to greet Su Pengcheng and Huo Qingqing. One of the boys waved at Huo Qingqing in a rude manner, "Goodbye, little beauty!"
Huo Qingqing: "..." The term "little beauty" is more suitable for her girl.
On the way back, Su Pengcheng hardly spoke, but Huo Qingqing became more talkative.
After sending her to the school gate and watching Huo Qingqing enter the school gate, Su Pengcheng turned around and left. We drove very fast on the way back. I felt inexplicably sad. I always felt that Huo Qingqing was living a too depressed life. She was only in her early twenties, but she lived like a lonely middle-aged person.
Huo Qingqing went straight to the post office and called home.
Han Jianwu sat by the phone waiting, and picked up the phone after it rang twice.
After the two chatted for a few sentences, the phone was snatched away by the girl and son. The two held the phone and kept calling for their mother.
"When will you come home, Mom?"
"Mom, did you buy me something delicious?"
