Chapter 202 The Mysterious Man in the Study (3)
"Just sit there for a while and don't do anything." The man made a strange request.
He seemed to just want to see Chu Ci, or more precisely, to use Chu Ci's face to remember an old friend.
Chu Ci began to believe what the man said about her looking like an old friend of his.
Perhaps the man's expression affected Chu Ci, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but today Chu Ci was a little abnormal and did not turn around and leave. Instead, she chose to meet the man's request, which was a bit strange but not excessive.
Chu Ci sat on the sofa.
His eyes fell on the coffee table in front of her.
There are some snacks on the coffee table. The one on the far left is a kind of candy made of hawthorn. The candy is in the shape of a hawthorn and looks like a crystal clear hawthorn. It looks a bit tempting.
"You can eat whatever you want." The man said to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci didn't hesitate and picked one up and put it in his mouth.
The taste is a little sour, a little sweet, and has a fresh fragrance.
Very delicious.
Chu Ci ate one and then reached for the second one.
"Do you like to eat?" the man asked.
"It's delicious." said Chu Ci.
“Few people can get used to eating it.”
“Isn’t it delicious?”
"I've given it to many people, and they all think it's too sour."
"I can eat sour food." Chu Ci said.
"Me too, but my old friend doesn't like it," said the man.
"Oh." Chu Ci peeled another one and put it into his mouth.
"Aren't you curious about who the old friend I'm talking about is?" The man was curious about Chu Ci's reaction.
Most people would be curious when encountering such an inexplicable situation.
"If you want to say it, you will tell me naturally. If you don't want to say it, you won't tell me even if I ask you." Chu Ci answered lazily.
The man's mood inexplicably improved: "You are quite lovely. If my old friend could have been as open-minded as you, perhaps he would not have left like that."
It seems that the man's old friend is dead.
"No matter how open-minded a person is, he may not be able to remain open-minded when he encounters a sad situation," Chu Ci replied.
"You're not very old, but you speak so maturely," the man commented.
"Is there?"
"Yes." The man said, "My old friend has been gone for many years, and for some reason, I don't even have a photo of her. I occasionally dreamed of her over the years, but her appearance gradually became a little blurry. Until I saw you today, it brought back many memories of the past."
"It seems that you are really not trying to flirt with me." Chu Ci said.
"I'm old enough to be your father," the man replied.
"It doesn't look like it. A handsome uncle like you would be believed by many girls if he said he was only 31 years old."
He is rich, handsome and charming. In the TV dramas and novels she watches, he would definitely be the male lead!
The man smiled.
Then the study became quiet.
Chu Ci is not a talkative person, and men are obviously not either.
The two of them stayed quietly in the study, Chu Ci ate the food on the table while the man looked at her.
After an unknown amount of time, the man stood up from his seat and walked up to Chu Ci.
He took out a pen from his chest pocket.
"I give you this pen as a thank you for staying with me for a while today. If you need any help in the future, you can bring this pen to the Xue family to find me."
Chu Ci looked at the pen in the man's hand. The pen body was made of gold and there was a small poem engraved on it: The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world.
Guess who the man is talking about, the one who looks like Chu Ci Cai Gu Ren
