Chapter 5 Xu Jialan, what do you think of me?
When talking about firefighters, for some reason, Xu Jialan thought of him.
She curled her fingertips, looked at Mrs. Liang's expectant eyes, paused for a few seconds, and nodded, "Okay, I'll go."
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "Okay, Master's wife will send you the address for the meeting later."
Xu Jialan: "...Okay."
After dinner, it was already very late.
Xu Jialan said goodbye to the Liang couple and drove home.
While driving, her cell phone rang.
Xu Jialan took a quick glance and saw that it was a message from Mrs. Liang.
It’s amazing to think that she actually agreed to go on a blind date.
She now inexplicably felt a little regretful.
Why did she start to feel upset when she just heard that he had the same profession as him?
…
The next day, Saturday.
The alarm on my phone kept ringing.
A white arm stretched out from under the quilt, grabbed the phone, and turned off the alarm.
Xu Jialan stayed in bed for more than ten minutes before slowly getting up.
The soft long hair draped lazily behind her, making her look less cold and more gentle.
After washing up, I heard a message on my phone.
Xu Jialan bent down and picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow. It was a message from Mrs. Liang.
Ask her if she is awake yet, but don't forget about the blind date later.
Seeing the word "blind date", Xu Jialan was silent for a long time and sent a message to Mrs. Liang.
Xu Jialan: [I understand, Master-wife. I will never forget it.]
She walked to the cloakroom and looked at the clothes in the closet. They were almost all the same kinds of shirts and wide-leg trousers.
This kind of thing... shouldn't be suitable to wear on a blind date, right?
Xu Jialan was silent for a moment, then took out a white fishtail skirt from the corner of the closet and put on a light gray-green shirt.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. She seemed to be a little different from usual.
Xu Jialan's eyebrows moved slightly.
It's just a blind date, why is she taking it so seriously?
She thought about it and decided to change her clothes, but when she looked at the time, it was almost too late.
Xu Jialan took her bag, cell phone, and car keys and went out.
The restaurant we agreed to meet at is in the city center of South City.
When we arrived at the hotel, there was some traffic jam.
Xu Jialan found a parking space with difficulty and parked the car. He was already five minutes late.
She frowned and quickened her pace towards the restaurant.
As soon as I entered the door, a waiter came to greet me.
"Ma'am, would you like to eat?"
Xu Jialan paused, "Yes, but I've already reserved a private room, number 302."
The waiter looked at the reservation information and smiled slightly, "Is this Miss Xu?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Okay, this way please."
The hall is almost full.
Xu Jialan took a quick glance and then looked away.
The box is on the third floor.
The environment is very quiet.
The waiter slowly stopped and said, "Ms. Xu, we have arrived at box 302."
Xu Jialan nodded, "Thank you."
She took a step forward, knocked on the door three times, and then pushed it open and walked in.
Xu Jialan raised his eyes and looked over.
At this time, there was already a man sitting there.
He also looked up.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Xu Jialan's mind went blank for a moment.
The man was obviously surprised, then raised his lips, "So it's you, Ms. Xu, Xu Jialan."
The voice was a little deep, a voice that was familiar to her but also a little unfamiliar.
Xu Jialan came back to her senses and couldn't help but clench her bag tightly.
After a long while, she finally found her voice and asked, "You...are here for a blind date?"
Shen Xichuan raised his thin lips slightly, without answering her question, and turned his gaze to the waiter behind him, “You can order now.”
He stood up and pulled out the chair next to him like a gentleman. "Sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."
Xu Jialan watched his movements and paused for half a second. She walked over and sat down.
"Thanks."
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, then sat down as well, his eyes falling generously on her face.
"Are you feeling better?"
Being so close to each other, Xu Jialan was a little nervous, but he didn't show any of it on his face. He smiled faintly and said, "Much better."
She pursed her lips and said, "Thank you for last time."
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows, “It’s my duty, no need to thank me.”
At this time, the waiter just came over with a tablet to take the order.
Shen Xichuan raised his hand and said, “You order and see what you like to eat.”
"good."
Xu Jialan took the tablet and looked down at the menu.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
But there was still a slight tremor in the fingertips that swiped the screen.
She ordered a few dishes and handed the tablet to the man next to her.
Shen Xichuan took it and looked at it with his eyes lowered.
After looking at it for a few times, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He ordered a dessert and returned the tablet to the waiter.
"Thanks."
The box fell into silence.
It's really quiet.
Xu Jialan didn't know what to say.
Shen Xichuan picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of her.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "Thank you."
Shen Xichuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, took a sip of water, and asked, "What about you? You came for a blind date right after being discharged from the hospital?"
Just as he was about to drink some water, Xu Jialan almost choked when he heard these words.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Shen Xichuan’s eyes, “Be careful, I won’t eat you.”
Xu Jialan's ears turned red, he pursed his lips and put down the cup.
Her slightly cool fingertips touched the wall of the cup, and the temperature of the tea slowly warmed her hands.
She lowered her head slightly, "I...it was Master's Wife who asked me to come. She said..."
Shen Xichuan tilted his head, taking his time, "What did she say?"
Thinking of what Madam Liang said, Xu Jialan smiled softly, "She asked me to come and see if the son of her new best friend is really talented and handsome."
When Shen Xichuan saw her smile, his eyes darkened slightly.
Xu Jialan is quite pretty. Her light green clothes make her skin look very fair. Her smile is like a frozen snow lotus that suddenly melts the ice and reveals its bright color.
The man smiled gently and looked at her deeply. "Now that you've seen it, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xu Jialan was obviously stunned, "What?"
"Xu Jialan, what do you think of me?" Shen Xichuan asked her seriously.
