Next, the two of them ate and chatted, clinking glasses from time to time, and had a very pleasant meal.
The meal lasted two hours. Since Jianshu had a smaller appetite, he barely moved his chopsticks in the second half and just stayed there to accompany the guest.
By the time we finished eating, it was already dark.
However, because he had something on his mind, Ding Ming did not say goodbye and leave as usual. Instead, he sat on the sofa and chatted with Jianshu about everything under the sun, refusing to leave.
At first, Jianshu didn't pay attention, but later, seeing that Ding Ming looked confused and absent-minded during the conversation, he knew that something was wrong with him.
I couldn't help but feel curious. What could be going on? Why would Ding Ming, who always had something to say and couldn't keep a secret, be so hesitant?
Maybe it was because he had just drunk a little bit of wine, which made Jianshu have bad intentions. Seeing that Ding Ming kept trying to find topics but never got to the point, he pretended not to know and just watched the fun in his heart!
Hehe, let’s see who can hold it in!
Thinking this way, Jianshu's face remained expressionless. He chatted with great interest and spoke fluently.
In the end, Ding Ming couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Sister-in-law, I..." His face flushed slightly, and he started to speak hesitantly before falling silent again. It was obvious that he was very conflicted.
Jian Shu paused, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"
But I was very excited. Tell me quickly, tell me what it is, let me hear it and gossip about it.
Ding Ming glanced at Jian Shu, then, as if he had made up his mind, he lowered his head and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, does the lesbian who is finally with you have a partner?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jianshu was shocked.
Ah, this, if she didn't misunderstand the implication, this means she is interested in people?
Jianshu was silent for a moment. What day is today? I’m afraid it’s Valentine’s Day. Why are so many people arguing with their partners?
However, there were two people around her at noon. Who did Ding Ming like?
If it's Pan Ning, there's still a possibility, but if it's Li Li, then we can only say goodbye.
"Which one are you referring to?" Jian Shu asked directly.
Get the person straight first, then deal with the rest.
The words were out, and there was no taking them back. So Ding Ming didn't feel embarrassed anymore, and kept his eyes fixed on Jian Shu.
Hearing her question, he quickly replied, "It's the lady with short hair and a blue plaid shirt."
He spoke without a single pause, and it was obvious that he had been pondering this for a long time.
As soon as she said this, Jian Shu knew who she was talking about. For a moment, she felt a little complicated.
Among the three, only Li Li has long hair. Jian Shu and Pan Ning have maintained short hair for the past two years.
Of course, Ding Ming couldn't be talking about her, so the candidate was obvious.
Seeing the expectant expression on Ding Ming's face, Jian Shu didn't deliberately embarrass him and told him the truth: "No, Pan Ning doesn't have a partner."
"Pan Ning? That sounds nice." Ding Ming was so happy to hear the satisfactory answer that he kept muttering Pan Ning's name and praising her.
"Hiss", for some reason, Jianshu felt a little sour in his teeth.
Looking at the smile on Ding Ming's face, he said with some reluctance, "Although she doesn't have a partner, it's not that easy for you to date her."
Although Pan Ning has softened his stance a little now, judging from Jianshu's opinion, it's not certain that they will be in a relationship for the time being.
Hearing this, Ding Ming's smile faltered, and then he immediately said with a sad face, "Ah, could it be that Comrade Pan has found someone she likes?"
Could it be that my first love was stillborn before it even began? Ding Ming thought sadly.
"Not really." Jian Shu shook his head.
Seeing Ding Ming's smile return immediately, he continued, "But it can't do much more than that. For some reason, Pan Ning is very resistant to the idea of dating. You don't need to ask me the specific reason, and I won't tell you. You just need to know that she is very resistant to dating."
Seeing what Ding Ming wanted to ask, Jianshu shut him up with just one sentence.
Chen Kai's affairs are Pan Ning's privacy. Apart from herself telling others, Jian Shu and Li Li will not reveal a word about it to anyone else.
After hearing Jian Shu's words, Ding Ming knew that there was something going on, but since she didn't say anything, she had her reasons, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Since Comrade Pan doesn't have someone he likes, then there's no problem. It doesn't matter if you're resistant to dating. Take your time. I'm not in a hurry. No matter what, I have to give it a try." Ding Ming said with determination.
How could you know it was impossible if you didn't try? And giving up before even starting wasn't his style.
Looking at Ding Ming's determined face, Jianshu knew that he was serious, but many things cannot be solved with just a word of seriousness.
"What if there is no result in one, two, or three years? What if she chooses someone else in the middle?" Jian Shu asked repeatedly.
She wasn't trying to find fault; what she said was very likely to happen.
After all, when it comes to liking someone, there is no first come first served basis. It doesn’t mean that if you like her, she will accept you.
Pan Ning is her good friend. Although she has only known Ding Ming for a short time, he is not a stranger either. If something happens between them in the end, it would be inappropriate for her to help anyone.
So she could only make everything clear at the beginning. If she still insisted, then no matter what the result was in the end, it would be her own choice and no one else's fault.
Ding Ming knew what Jian Shu was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I used to think being alone was pretty good. Every time my parents asked me to go on a blind date, I always refused. But ever since you started dating Brother Gu, I've seen him smile more and more, and his gentle expression when he mentioned you. I've been thinking, love is really something!"
Jianshu didn't expect him to say this and blushed.
I gritted my teeth in my heart, damn Gu Mingjing, I let you show off, but now I am the one who is embarrassed.
