Chapter 18(1/2)
Li Zhiyue looked at Shen Xingqian blankly, but Shen Xingqian didn't even move his expression. He wiped his fingers that were covered with the butter on her mouth with the towel that he had not had time to take away.
Seeing that Li Zhiyue was still looking at her, Shen Xingqian tried to suppress the emotions she wanted to express in her heart. She tsk and sang slightly, "What do you think I'm doing?
Eat."
Li Zhiyue came to her senses and was absent-mindedly lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks and poked it into the bowl twice. The lotus root slices that Shen Xingqian had just picked up for her.
She was absent-mindedly thinking about Shen Xingqian's actions just now. She could always guess the eldest young master's actions, but this time she was indeed confused.
She has never been wiped by someone so intimately, and has never seen Shen Xingqian wipe the corner of her mouth like this.
Li Zhiyue thought about it carefully and was a little wrong.
Shen Xingqian, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief when Li Zhiyue lowered his head. It was still slowly, the kind that he dared not be discovered by Li Zhiyue.
I was afraid that she would turn her head and find his uncomfortable and red ears.
The atmosphere of the meal was very strange. Li Zhiyue didn't speak. Shen Xingqian didn't know what to say. It was not until the waiter put the fruit on the table after the meal that Li Zhiyue said, "Hello, can you please help me change the grapes to cherry tomatoes?"
The waiter responded and pulled the fruit plate down again. Shen Xingqian looked at the waiter carrying the fruit plate to the kitchen and asked, "Don't you eat grapes?"
Li Zhiyue glanced at him and replied: "Don't you like to eat cherry tomatoes?"
Shen Xingqian was very strange. He didn't like to eat grapes, but he could accept the food made from grapes.
Shen Xingqian said dryly, but his heart was filled with something. Just then, he had to reflect the arc before he returned to the cage. Li Zhiyue knew him very well.
Li Zhiyue knew everything about what he liked to do, what he liked to eat, and what kind of clothes he wore.
Shen Xingqian was a little happy, which showed that Li Zhiyue still cared about him.
The waiter quickly brought up the new fruit plate. Half of the plate was cherry tomatoes. He picked up a cherry tomato and threw it into his mouth. Li Zhiyue turned her head and saw that his left cheek was pushed up, and her eyes were much roundering.
Shen Xingqian swallowed the cherry tomatoes and remembered another thing. This matter had been in a mess in his heart for a week and had not vented it. It happened to take advantage of this stall to ask today.
He supported his chin with one hand and pointed at Li Zhiyue's shoulder with his finger. Li Zhiyue was about to pay the bill, but felt that his left shoulder was poked by someone, and subconsciously turned around.
The waiter also said quickly, and he left after buying the order.
Li Zhiyue nodded in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"You have something to say to me."
Shen Xingqian looked at her face, and a trace of confusion flashed across Li Zhiyue's face, and then she became silent again, as if thinking about what she had forgotten.
Shen Xingqian coughed lightly and reminded: "Didn't Xue Qingzhou discuss something with you? He also said that he had not agreed on it before."
It turns out that's the matter.
Li Zhiyue was a little amused and crying. She raised her hand and naturally pinched Shen Xingqian's face that was pretending to be serious and cold: "You ignored me for a week because of this?"
If this is true, then Shen Xingqian's abnormal actions this week will be explained.
Shen Xingqian was not ashamed of being exposed, and he patted Li Zhiyue's hand with confidence: "Then you didn't take the initiative to explain to me!"
"What did I explain to you?"
Li Zhiyue felt that Shen Xingqian had changed back to what she was familiar with.
It's a bit unreasonable.
Shen Xingqian stared at her, as if he couldn't accept Li Zhiyue's attitude.
She sighed and explained: "Qingzhou..."
"Xue Qingzhou!"
Shen Xingqian corrected the truth.
Li Zhiyue looked at him twice, knowing that he had always had something wrong with his friends, and followed him, Li Zhiyue continued: "Xue Qingzhou, he wants to do some small business and let me invest in some."
Shen Xingqian tsk: "What are you doing?"
"I haven't agreed yet, I might open a bar."
Li Zhiyue explained the matter clearly in a few words. After explaining it clearly, Shen Xingqian's depression dissipated a little.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that Xue Qingzhou had a terrible heart. He said, "Isn't it just to open a store? Xue Qingzhou can't afford to open it, why do you have to call you to join us?
What other ideas are he going to have in his mind?”
Li Zhiyue smiled and said patiently: "But I can't afford to drive it."
Shen Xingqian looked at her suspiciously, and suddenly remembered that Li Zhiyue said a long time ago that she was saving money to pay off her debts. At that time, he thought that Li Zhiyue was joking too much. Now it seems... is it true?
"Are you really short of money?"
Shen Xingqian asked.
Li Zhiyue nodded: "It's very lacking."
Shen Xingqian asked again: "Do you really owe money?"
Li Zhiyue nodded: "I owe more than ten years, so it's time to pay it back."
Shen Xingqian was a little shocked at the debt he had been owed for more than ten years in Li Zhiyue. He remembered that Li Zhiyue was not the kind of person who likes to borrow money, but he was silent for a while and just said simply: "Then why don't you tell me?"
Then he reached into his pocket, took out his wallet and put it in front of Li Zhiyue, and said with a serious expression: "There are three cards in the wallet, one of which is a black card. You know the password, you can take it first."
Li Zhiyue stared at the wallet placed in front of her, and felt as if Shen Xingqian was unable to speak.
Seeing her staring blankly, Shen Xingqian didn't reach out to get it, and tskated, picked up her wallet again, held her wrist with the other hand and lifted it up, stuffing the wallet in her hand: "Why are you so ink?"
Li Zhiyue pinched her wallet and couldn't help but laugh.
She looked up and said, "No need, they didn't urge me to pay it back. I've almost saved it. I don't want to owe each one."
She was about to put her wallet back in front of Shen Xingqian, but Shen Xingqian glared at her again, and he said, "That's better than owing outsiders."
He was afraid that Li Zhiyue would return the wallet, so he simply picked up the wallet and put it directly into Li Zhiyue's bag. He put the bag back to its original place. Li Zhiyue saw that the corners of his mouth were curled up.
He simply refused and kept it for him first and returned it to him in two days.
Shen Xingqian coughed lightly and said seriously: "Although I don't urge you, you have to agree to me with a condition."
Sure enough, Li Zhiyue was not surprised at all. She nodded: "You talk about it first."
"I've given you all my money. You have to promise that I won't starve to death, right?"
Li Zhiyue seemed to hear the crisp sound of the abacus in Shen Xingqian's heart.
Shen Xingqian said: "Before you pay me back, I'll go to your house to eat, starting from tonight."
Li Zhiyue kicked her mouth in time if she refused, "Okay."
Come here to eat is not a troublesome, and she has felt that Shen Xingqian has lost weight recently.
Shen Xingqian was very satisfied with Li Zhiyue's response, so he stood up: "Okay, I'll leave."
He picked up the car keys on the dining table. He was now preparing to go back to sleep. In order to intercept Li Zhiyue, he got up early this morning. Now that he has eaten and drunk enough, the matter has been solved, and he has felt a little sleepy.
But he walked out a few steps, then retreated. He stood by the table, looked down at Li Zhiyue and asked, "Do you still have an empty room?"
Li Zhiyue rented two bedrooms and one living room, and she had some miscellaneous items piled up in another room she didn't live in. Li Zhiyue didn't know why Shen Xingqian asked this, so she nodded: "Yes."
"I understand," Shen Xingqian blinked at her in a mysterious way: "See you tonight, sister."
After saying that, he left swayingly.
Li Zhiyue chuckled, watched him turn the key out of the Zuixian Pavilion, and also got up and prepared to go back.
As soon as she got up, her cell phone rang, and Chu Lu called her back.
Li Zhiyue answered the phone and Chu Lu said, "Baby, what's the matter with calling me?"
I was having a meeting just now and my phone was silent.”
Li Zhiyue said in a gentle voice as she walked: "It's nothing, I just want to remind you to pay attention to your health."
Chu Lu sighed and sighed: "Oh, it's just a normal social animal dog. I think you've called me so many times and thought there was something urgent."
Li Zhiyue chuckled, and when Chu Lu complained about work, she heard someone calling Chu Lu. Chu Lu said, "Okay, baby, I'll meet tomorrow and say, I'm going to do it again."
"Chu Lu," Li Zhiyue said: "I have something to do tomorrow, and I may not be able to come. Let's make an appointment later."
Chu Lu whispered over there, and then explained: "Zhiyue, he was called to work overtime temporarily today, and he didn't mean to change the time."
"I know, it's not because of this. I thought about it carefully today. I still want to focus on my career, although..." Li Zhiyue fell silent. Chu Lu sighed, and did not force her: "Okay, I understand. I'll tell him after I finish my work later, OK I'll celebrate your birthday tomorrow."
Li Zhiyue smiled and replied, "Okay, as soon as she hung up the phone, Li Zhiyue was hit by someone. She didn't hold her phone firmly and fell to the ground.
The lady who ran into her happened to call again, and came back to her senses and said, "I'm sorry."
He bent down and picked up Li Zhiyue's cell phone, handed it back to Li Zhiyue and said, "Do you see if it is damaged? I can compensate you for a new one."
There was no problem with the phone, and Li Zhiyue waved her hand: "It's okay."
The woman was wearing a mask and looked at her uncertainly. She nodded after she confirmed that she had not broken it. She turned around and walked towards Zuixian Pavilion. Li Zhiyue heard her say to the person on the other end of the phone, "It's okay, I accidentally bumped into a lady. Li Yue, when did you arrive..."
Li Zhiyue took a taxi to pick up her car, and it was already past three o'clock when she got home.
She hung the key on the hook behind the door, walked into the kitchen with the vegetables, took out the things she bought one by one and put them into the refrigerator. After a while, the doorbell rang, and she hurried over and opened the door. A young man from the security department was carrying two bags of drinks for her.
She hurriedly moved out of the position and let the security guard come in. The security guard put it next to the refrigerator for her. Just as she was about to go out, Li Zhiyue put a bottle of water in a smile and said, "Thank you."
