Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Is she his girlfriend?
For some reason, the two girls could hear a familiarity, doting and joy in his voice.
So... this is his girlfriend?
——This made the two girls subconsciously think of this.
Qin Mian also walked towards Si Tu at this time.
The two girls looked at each other, shrugged regretfully, turned around, and left with regret.
I finally met a handsome guy, but he has a girlfriend.
However, this is perfectly normal.
Qin Mian walked forward, watched the two girls leave, then returned his gaze to Si Tu and asked, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Those girls obviously misunderstood and felt that they had ruined their boss's good fortune.
Si Tu stood up from the flower bed, his eyes raised, looking down at her from above.
"Why do you say that?" he asked.
"Just..." Qin Mian subconsciously raised his head, caught his gaze, and pointed at the backs of the two girls leaving.
Si Tu understood and chuckled, "If you had come a little later, I would have had to find a way to reject them."
Qin Mian breathed a sigh of relief and laughed too, "So, they were really trying to flirt with you just now?"
Si Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her, "You knew they were hitting on me, but why didn't you come up and help me out?"
It is also the secretary's duty to help the boss out of trouble.
Qin Mian was speechless and hurriedly explained, "I'm not sure if you need it."
"Yes!" Si Tu put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and moved closer to her. There was a hint of threat and intimidation in his tone. "If you encounter this situation again in the future and Secretary Qin still stands by and watches, I will punish you!"
"Okay, boss!" Qin Mian was so frightened that he quickly raised his hand to promise, "I will definitely not let you have any trouble in this regard in the future."
Seeing her serious look, Si Tu couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.
**
It was a good time to climb the mountain. Many people were walking up the mountain, and the two of them followed the crowd up.
Qin Mian occasionally exercises, so his physical fitness is still acceptable, but when he climbed one-third of the way, he still felt tired.
There was a pavilion for tourists to rest. Qin Mian looked at it and asked Si Tu who was walking beside him, "Mr. Si, do you want to take a rest?"
Si Tu turned around and saw that her face was covered in sweat and she was almost out of breath. He couldn't help but smile, "Are you tired?"
Qin Mian: "..."
“A little.”
She stopped trying to be stubborn.
Si Tu agreed and walked towards the pavilion with her.
There were many people resting here, and there weren't many empty seats. After finally finding one, Qin Mian, mindful of his status, turned around and raised his hand, "Mr. Si."
Let him sit.
Si Tu glanced at him and said, "Please sit down."
I couldn’t ask for more!
"Then I won't be polite with you!" Qin Mian said, and was about to sit over, but suddenly a man jumped out and sat down, beating her to it.
Qin Mian almost sat on the other person, but Si Tu pulled her back in time. Qin Mian finally reacted, turned his head and stared at the man.
The man ignored her gaze, fanned himself with his hat, and looked away.
"Get up." Si Tu said sternly.
The man pretended not to hear, put on his hat, and unscrewed the mineral water to drink.
"I told you to get up, did you hear me?" Si Tu's patience was about to run out and his brows were furrowed.
"Let's go." Qin Mian saw that the man was a scoundrel and was quite heavy, so he didn't want to cause trouble, so he grabbed Si Tu and tried to leave.
Si Tu pulled her back again, pulled her behind him, then raised his hand and slapped the back of his hand on the other person's mineral water.
The mineral water bottle was knocked away and the water sprayed on the collar, making the man look very embarrassed.
"What are you doing?" The man suddenly became angry and stood up from the stone bench.
It's a pity that he is not as good as Si Tugao, and his momentum is immediately overshadowed.
Si Tu looked down at him condescendingly and sneered, "You can't afford to fight with a lady for a seat."
"You!" The man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he was afraid of Si Tu's impressive height and captivating aura.
Some people are just like that, they don't look like people you would want to mess with.
Si Tu is obviously one of them.
Those who bully the weak and fear the strong are the best at judging others by their abilities.
The man cursed angrily, turned around and walked away.
Si Tu didn't hear it clearly, but he guessed that the curse was probably very dirty, and he couldn't help but frown, "What the hell are you spewing out of your dog's mouth?"
Being young and full of vigor, he even wanted to drag the man back and question him thoroughly, but Qin Mian stopped him in time and said, "Forget it, we won't argue with such a person."
Si Tu was like an enraged wolf, with all the hair standing on end, ready to fight at any time. But at this moment, he was like a pet dog with its fur smoothed down, and he meekly put away his aggression.
He withdrew his gaze, grabbed her arm with his backhand, and pushed her to sit.
Qin Mian carried a backpack and took out a bottle of mineral water from it.
She wanted to open a bottle for Si Tu, but the cap wouldn't come off. Si Tu reached out and took it, saying, "Let me do it."
When Qin Mian took out the second bottle, Si Tu unscrewed the first bottle and handed it to her, replacing the other bottle in her hand.
"Why do you have to carry so many things?" He laughed, probably because he didn't expect it.
Qin Mian let him switch the two bottles of water, took a sip, smiled, and said nothing.
The young master may be used to being taken care of. Who goes hiking without water?
Fortunately she brought it.
Although there are people selling water along the way, the water in the scenic area is much more expensive.
She also brought some candy to replenish her energy. Qin Mian took a few sips and took out a small bag of candy from his bag.
"Do you want to eat?" She stretched out her hand and handed it to Si Tu.
Si Tu lowered his eyes, took one from her palm, looked at it, and then laughed and joked, "Is this bag of yours a treasure chest?"
"Almost." Qin Mian said with some pride, "There are also tissues, insect repellent spray, and trauma medicine."
"That's a very thorough preparation." Si Tu smiled, opened the candy and put it in his mouth.
He took the chocolate filling, which had melted a little due to the hot weather. When he put it in his mouth, the fragrant chocolate melted and the white chocolate filling inside flowed out, which was sweet.
He lowered his eyes and stared at Qin Mian, his tongue moving as if he was savoring something carefully.
Qin Mian lowered her eyes as she unwrapped the candy. The hat on her head covered most of her face, leaving only her pink mouth exposed.
Since he came here to exercise, Qin Mian didn't use lipstick and only applied simple lip balm.
Si Tu's eyes fell on her pink lips. Seeing her open her lips and put the candy into her mouth, his throat tightened slightly, and he swallowed, and his Adam's apple rolled.
Beads of sweat flowed down along with the rolling Adam's apple, the hormones were strong and extremely sexy.
After the candy in my mouth melted and I drank a few sips of water, I was almost done with rest.
When Qin Mian stood up, Si Tu took the bag from her hand and hung it on his shoulder.
How could he dare to let his boss carry his backpack for him? Qin Mian wanted to take it back, but Si Tu raised his hand to block him.
She was not as strong as her to begin with, and carrying so many things on her back would indeed make it easier for her to lag behind. Qin Mian thought about it, then went along with it and expressed his gratitude.
The two continued to walk up.
Qin Mian was lacking in physical strength. When he reached halfway up the mountain, his steps became heavier and he walked slower and slower.
Si Tu always walked in front of her inadvertently, and then stopped to wait for her.
"Still climbing? Do you want to go down the mountain?" He turned around and looked at her and asked.
Qin Mian shook her head and raised her hand to adjust her hat. She really wanted to challenge herself.
"don't want."
Si Tu extended his hand towards her, "Come."
Qin Mian was so tired that he was out of breath and his legs were weak. He subconsciously put his hand on it and used his strength to move up.
Si Tu curled his lips, turned around, and continued to pull her up.
He slowed down his pace, and with Qin Mian lending him strength, everything became much easier.
After walking up a little, I ran into a couple. The girl acted coquettishly towards the boy and said, "Look, they are holding their girlfriends, why can't you?"
Qin Mian turned around when he heard the voice and found that the other party was pointing at him. Only then did he realize that his hand was holding Si Tu's.
Although it was just borrowing strength, it was inappropriate to cause such a misunderstanding. Qin Mian quickly let go of Si Tu's hand.
Si Tu's hands were empty, and he turned around and looked at her in confusion.
Originally, he was just helping. If Qin Mian suggested this, it would be inappropriate and would easily cause embarrassment. She looked away, pointed to the side, and said something else, "Let's rest for a while?"
There are some rocks nearby, and many people sit there to rest.
Si Tu also heard what the couple said just now. Seeing that Qin Mian's reaction was a little unnatural, he understood in his heart. He nodded in agreement and raised his hand, motioning her to come over.
Qin Mian turned and walked over there, and he followed her.
After stopping and walking along the way, it took the two of them an hour and a half to finally reach the top.
We rested for more than ten minutes at the top, took some scenery photos, and then went down the mountain.
We stopped and walked along the way, and when we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already after noon.
It was lunch time and the tourists were all scattered, looking for food everywhere.
"Mr. Si, what would you like to eat?" Qin Mian asked Si Tu what he liked.
Si Tu led her to the parking lot and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
Afterwards, the two got into the car. Si Tu drove his yellow Lamborghini and took Qin Mian to a small, inconspicuous shop behind the mountain.
When the car arrived, there was a red Ferrari and a black G-Class parked in front of the store.
The two men got out of the car. The owner of the red Ferrari turned around and saw Si Tu, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Hey! Si Tu!" The other person's face was full of joy as he walked towards Si Tu, "You're back! Why didn't you tell me?"
The girl was wearing black overalls, a red suspender, sunglasses pushed to the top of her head, and her long hair tied into a ponytail. She looked very cool.
After watching Si Tu's excitement, the other party looked at Qin Mian who got out of the passenger seat, and his expression changed.
"This..." She was stunned for a moment and looked at Si Tu again.
Could it be that after getting a girlfriend, he was so busy with the relationship that he forgot to contact his childhood friends?
A man also got out of the black G-Class in front. His hair was shaved on both sides so that his scalp was visible, with a small tuft left in the middle. He had a small bun on the back of his head. He was wearing jeans and a leather jacket, and looked a bit shaggy.
"No, Brother Tu, you didn't even tell me you were coming back. That's really not nice of you."
Si Tu looked at the two of them, smiled, and said perfunctorily, "Nanzhou is so small, isn't it just a matter of running into each other?"
Having said that, he didn't want to waste any more time talking and stretched out his hand towards Qin Mian, motioning her to come over.
Qin Mian followed him, but didn't hold his hand. Si Tu held his hand in the air awkwardly for a moment, then turned around and led the way inside.
The girl in the Ferrari looked at her nose and then her heart, her eyes rolled around, and she walked over quickly.
Big G man followed closely behind.
"Uncle Zhou." The girl driving the Ferrari called the boss familiarly as she entered the store.
"The young lady is here." An old man's voice came from the store with a smile.
When he glanced outside casually, the old man found that the person leading the way in was a young boy.
Looking closely again, he recognized Si Tu, "Oh, Master Si Tu is back!"
The old man was very surprised.
This old man is a local. He used to be Grandpa Si Tu’s driver. Later, his house was demolished and he got several houses. After Grandpa Si Tu retired, he opened a shop here and made local food.
When Si Tu was little, his grandfather would bring him over from time to time to eat something and reminisce about the past.
Si Tu replied with a smile, "I just came back a few days ago."
"Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down."
The old man is almost seventy years old, with gray hair on his temples, but his hands and feet are still nimble and he is full of energy.
This restaurant was doing very good business and probably had a good reputation among the neighbors. Qin Mian took a quick look and saw that most of the people dining there looked like locals.
There were not many empty seats left, so the old man cleaned up the one closest to the food delivery port. It was originally piled with some miscellaneous items, but now it was cleared and could just seat four people.
"Come, sit here."
His wife came over with a rag to clean, also smiling, and looked much younger than him.
After the four of them sat down, the Ferrari girl propped up her chin and stared at Qin Mian, "Hi, my name is Zhao Xiao, what's your name?"
Qin Mian glanced at his boss and gave his own name.
"I'm Si Tu's childhood friend. What about you? Are you his girlfriend?" Zhao Xiao was very direct, with sparkling eyes, staring at her and asking curiously.
