"It's an hour's drive, so why don't we leave early? Can we meet downstairs at my house at 7 o'clock tomorrow?"
"Sure, I'll be there on time. Xiaohan, I'm downstairs, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Lu. I want to drink soy milk."
"good."
Jiang Lu hung up the phone and felt refreshed. All the fatigue from leading the students just now was gone.
Ever since the New Year, when Liu Yuhan told him clearly that they could only be brother and sister, the two of them had felt a little awkward.
In fact, he treated her as a sister, and she treated him as a brother, which was fine. He was just afraid that she would ignore him. They were obviously in the same city, and last time they had lychees and longans delivered by SF Express, Jiang Lu felt very wronged at the time.
"Brother Dong, that's Liu Yuhan, right? She's at the watch counter."
Wang Xin pointed to Huo Dong.
"Thank you, Brother Dong, for accompanying me to buy gifts. I'll be leaving first." Wang Xin saw that Huo Dong's eyes never left Liu Yuhan, and suddenly he had an idea. Could it be that Brother Dong really cared about him?
"good."
Liu Yuhan wore a fitted beige dress similar to a cheongsam, high heels of the same color, and her hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin at the back, which made her skin look whiter... and thinner.
[I haven't seen her for 20 days, why has she lost so much weight...]
"Beauty, are you alone? Can I add you on WeChat?" A well-dressed young man came forward and asked for Liu Yuhan's WeChat.
Liu Yuhan saw the man’s slightly red face and ears and smiled at him.
"Sorry, I'm married." Liu Yuhan is no longer surprised by such situations.
"Oh, excuse me." The young man's secret love ended before it even began.
"Ma'am, this watch has a bit of a retro style and suits your temperament very well. Would you like to try it on?"
"OK."
Liu Yuhan thought it was appropriate, asked the waiter to make the bill, and prepared to pay.
"Ma'am, your watch has been paid for."
"What?"
Liu Yuhan looked up and saw Huo Dong standing casually by the counter, about seven or eight meters away from her.
"Did he pay for it?"
"Yes. He is the owner of this mall." The waiter whispered, his tone full of envy.
"Thank you." Liu Yuhan smiled at the waiter and left.
"Let's have a meal together? After all, I can't let you spend the money." Liu Yuhan approached him.
"Or I can transfer the money for the watch to you." Liu Yuhan picked up his phone to transfer the money.
"Let's go eat. There's a Chinese restaurant nearby that's pretty good."
"You lead the way."
It's a Cantonese restaurant. The decor is very comfortable. The two of us sat down.
"What would you like to eat? What do you want to order?"
"The guest should follow the host's wishes. I'm not picky."
Liu Yuhan picked up the menu and began to look at the dishes carefully, then checked three dishes and a soup.
Outside, the lights began to light up. The two of them ate in silence. Liu Yuhan felt an immense silence and estrangement between them, an insurmountable barrier. Fortunately, the phone rang.
"Xiao Han, I forgot to ask you just now, are you going to the fishing village in my car tomorrow?"
"Brother Lu, of course. Just drive your G-Class. It has plenty of space. Do you really want to drive a motorcycle in such hot weather?"
"Hehe... No, I'm just asking. My car is a little dirty, so I'm going to get it serviced now. Xiaohan, have you eaten yet?"
"I'm eating. Brother Lu, see you tomorrow morning."
"Boss Huo, are you done eating?"
"Um."
"Then I'll pay the bill. Let's say goodbye here?" Liu Yuhan stood up.
"Where are you going tomorrow morning?"
"To the fishing village."
"Which fishing village?"
"Sea Breeze Village."
Huo Dong watched the woman leave, feeling a sense of gloom in his heart. Why had she just called him "Boss Huo"? Was she blaming him for taking the initiative to pay for her? Or was it because he had just been like a gourd with the mouth sawed off, making him feel daunting?
He had clearly wanted to ask her, "Has the hallway light been fixed?" "Why is she eating so little and getting so thin?" "Was she paying for the watch?" He had no other intentions at the time; he just thought it was convenient to be on his own territory... Just convenient? But he was clearly not the kind of person who could be so convenient... Huo Dong picked up the cigarette, lit it, and didn't even take a puff until it went out.
