After finally remembering what questions she should ask Huo Qiran, the sweet film in front of her seemed to have become less sweet to Jingli. She seemed to have some worries. The thoughts that had disturbed her before came back a little inadvertently.

After the dessert was finished, the waiter gave the gift of tea. Jingli refused because he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at night.

Seeing this, Huo Qiran said to the waiter: "Thank you, we don't need tea anymore, please pay for us."

When Jing Li heard that he was about to pay the bill, he became anxious, "Hey, I promised that I would treat you!"

Huo Qiran looked at her for a moment, and when she saw her eyes firm, she finally nodded slowly and smiled, "Okay, I won't argue with you."

Jingli was satisfied only then and took the initiative to pay the bill after the waiter brought the bill and the Pos machine.

"Then let's go for a walk on the street?" Huo Qiran said.

Jing Li nodded, but said, "Do you say hello to Su Su?"

Huo Qiran nodded, then pulled her up and walked towards the restaurant where Su Zhen was.

Su Zhen sat with her back to them until they came to her, and she didn't notice it. She looked up and saw them, and soon laughed, "You're finished eating? Are you leaving now?"

Huo Qiran nodded, and Jingli said, "Su Su, you eat slowly, we will make an appointment to meet for dinner another day."

"Will you stay in Huai City for a long time?" Su Zhen couldn't help but ask.

Jingli said: "He just took time to come over, and I will stay here for a while."

"That's good." Su Zhen said, "Then I'll ask you another day."

As he said that, Su Zhen reached out and pulled Jingli again, and said with a smile: "There are a few restaurants nearby. The atmosphere is so good. Let him take you on a date."

When Jing Li heard this, she just chuckled.

Several people quickly said goodbye, and then Huo Qiran pulled Jingli and turned away.

Su Zhen said goodbye and didn't look back. It was not until a while that she couldn't help but turn her head slightly and looked towards the door of the restaurant.

There were no longer Huo Qiran and Jing Li there.

She slowly turned her head, and for a moment, her eyes were red uncontrollably.

The friend opposite was with her for a long time and obviously knew something. He didn't say anything when he saw this, but just reached out to hand over a tissue.

On the other side, Huo Qiran took Jing Li's hand and walked into the elevator.

After saying goodbye to Su Zhen, both of them were silent for a while. When Huo Qiran pressed the elevator button and was about to say something, Jing Li suddenly turned to look at him and said, "You told me before that you hurt the relationship between you and Su Su, what does that mean?"

Huo Qiran never expected that the first question she asked would be this. She couldn't help but ponder for a moment, just looking at her, as if she didn't know how to answer.

Jing Li saw his embarrassment, and seemed to see the essence of the problem. He approached him slightly and looked at him almost eyes to eyes, "Does Su Su... like you?"

Huo Qiran's eyes suddenly stopped.

Jing Li had already got the answer from his eyes.

No wonder.

With Su Zhen's personality and her friendship with Huo Qiran, it would be strange if she didn't break the casserole.

There is probably only one reason why she can keep her away so quietly and quietly.

"Have Su Su confessed to you?" Jing Li asked again.

Huo Qiran still did not answer, but a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Jingli also knew the answer to this question.

If it hadn't been confessed, how could Huo Qiran know, and how could he say such words as hurting the relationship between him and Su Su?

"You also said that our after-dinner activity is a Q&A game..." Jing Li looked at Huo Qiran and muttered, "I have asked three questions now, and you haven't answered any of them."

Huo Qiran suddenly held her hand tightly and said, "I will answer all the questions between us. Regarding Susu, I have a pure friendship with her, and there is nothing else. As for her thoughts, I have no right to ask about it, nor can I evaluate anything. Do you understand what I mean?"

The moment Jing Li turned his face away from his sight, he couldn't help but bent the corners of his lips.

He did not answer these questions of her because he was Huo Qiran, who was the one she liked. How could Huo Qiran, who was gentle, meticulous, and extremely thoughtful, talk about the feelings of other girls behind his back?

When Jing Li turned his head to look at him again, he still put away his smile and said, "What if I say I don't understand?"

There was no smile on the corner of her lips, but there were still starlight in her eyes. Huo Qiran looked at her quietly for a moment, laughed slowly, and whispered: "Then you are... lying."

Jing Li was stunned. Just as he was about to reach out to make trouble for him, the elevator had already arrived on the first floor. Jing Li had to withdraw his hand and pretend to be normal. Huo Qiran pulled him out of the elevator.

The lights are on, and the city is more prosperous than during the day. Two people hold hands and walk side by side on the wide sidewalk, passing countless people in a hurry, but keep moving forward slowly.

Jingli asked him a lot of questions, those he had just remembered, and some questions he had thought about for a long time.

"Aren't your laboratory very busy? It's been less than ten days. You've been here three times. Wouldn't it affect the laboratory?"

"It doesn't affect it." He said, "It's normal to find a job in the third stage of research, and go to various cities for interviews."

"Looking for a job?" Jing Li was shocked, "Aren't you planning to study for a doctorate?"

“For me, neither of these are just an option, both are optional.”

"But you were obviously planning to study for a doctorate before," Jing Li said, "Don't tell me, it's because of me that you suddenly started to look for a job?"

Huo Qiran chuckled slowly, "What if I say yes?"

Jing Li stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked at him for a moment, and suddenly snorted and chuckled, "You are not such a person who is not serious. Please stop lying to me!"

When Huo Qiran heard this, he just chuckled and said, "How do you know which end is light and which end is heavy?"

Jing Li looked up at him, thought carefully for a while before saying, "I won't compare myself to your studies and career, it's not the same thing!"

She turned her head and wanted to continue walking forward, but Huo Qiran reached out to stop her.

Jing Li turned his head and looked at him for a moment, his eyes gradually became wet and soft, "Actually, you just like me a little bit. In the past, there was a little bit, so few that you could not even notice it yourself... It's still a little bit. After all, we just met again, and just started, everything is still in its infancy, right?"

Huo Qiran listened quietly to her, and was silent for a long time before speaking again—

"I have never liked others, so I don't know how much I like a little bit, how many I like a lot."

"I am a very slow person. There are always some people around me who say that I have a perfect life, but only I know that such perfection is unreal."

"I also know I'm missing something, but I don't know what that is."

"Until you went to newyork, I began to think of something very frequently. The first time we met, when you took off your headband in front of me, when you took care of Xixi, when you picked up candy, when you went to the library with me, when you came to see me play ball, when you laugh..."

"This feeling made me feel helpless because I was not sure whether it was like it or as my mother said. It was just because you were good to me that I wanted to be nice to you. I don't want to hurt you again, so I can only forget it as much as possible..."

"But some things can't be forgotten, just like the taste of that chocolate, I always remember. I obviously don't like to eat candy, but I just want to get it back..."

"Until the moment you met you again. When you turned back in Huaian Huatang, I remembered the first time you took off the doll suit and headband in front of me... I had eaten the best chocolate in the world and saw the sweetest smile in the world. Some things are like this, and after experiencing it, I realized that I can't quit."

"Everyone says that my sister loves candy, but at that moment I realized that in fact, I am more addicted to candy than her."

Jingli didn't know when his eyes turned red, nor did he know when tears fell down.

But he said she was his candy...

As a sweet candy, how could she cry?

She tried hard to smile, but in the end, she didn't know what expression she had.

Huo Qiran raised his hand, held her face, gently stroked the tears that had fallen on her cheek, and then whispered: "I have never been so shameless in my life. Even if you have never answered my question about brayden from beginning to end, I still ignored it and pestered it... because I really want to taste that taste again-"
