"Thank you." Xia Xi first thanked him for helping cut the steak, then answered his question, "It's not really a chat, he's just looking for trouble."
Lu Mingji's smile faded a little. He had only casually guessed, and it really was Xu Yanfeng.
"By the way, you said you had something important to tell me. What is it?" After work during the day, Xia Xi always thought of what he said in the morning.
In her eyes, Lu Mingji was a very cool person, kind and sensible to others, and emotionally stable. It was very easy to get along with him, which was also the reason why they could be partners. It was rare to see him so procrastinating and hesitant.
Lu Mingji lowered his head to cut the whole steak and casually asked, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Xia Xi didn't think hard and answered blurt out: "At a party for Chinese students, I accidentally spilled wine on you." After she said that, she thought of that scene and smiled.
His shirt was quite expensive, so she offered to compensate him, but he refused, saying it was not her fault and that someone bumped into her and she didn't hold the wine glass steady. Then, Lu Mingji went to find the boy who bumped into her and asked him to compensate for his shirt, otherwise he would have to drink three glasses of wine as a fine.
Xia Xi's first impression of him was that he was gentle but not rigid, generous and open-minded.
When her two children were still very young and unable to take care of themselves, she was so busy that she had to squeeze in time to eat. Her stomach problems also started at that time, so she had no time to attend entertainment gatherings. She went to that meeting because she needed a part-time job opportunity. Finally, with Lu Mingji's recommendation, she got it and made him her friend.
Over time, our friendship deepened and we became trustworthy partners.
Lu Mingji shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"What do you mean?" Xia Xi raised her voice, doubtful. "Wasn't that the first time we met? I shouldn't be mistaken."
She scratched her forehead, not thinking that the last time she hit the back of her head, she would have a bad memory.
Lu Mingji leaned back in his chair, and the distance between them was a little farther. In the flickering candlelight, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and it was a little blurry. The atmosphere was just right.
It was worth it that he spent a whole day searching, used connections and paid extra money to finally book the best table in this restaurant.
Outside the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window on the side are the bright city lights. Candles, flowers, and the figures of two people are cast on the glass, like a hazy painting, so beautiful.
Lu Mingji said with certainty: "That wasn't the first time we met."
