Chapter 21 Are you avoiding me?
The tickets were refunded to him. Thinking that he had a kind intention, Jiang Xiao was embarrassed to refuse, so she nodded and agreed.
Who would have thought that as soon as he walked to the school gate, he heard the crisp sound of high heels coming up behind him, getting closer and closer.
Finally, the owner of the high heels smiled softly: "Let's go to dinner together?"
Chen Cheng had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect Zhu Weiran to show up.
Neither of them spoke. Zhu Weiran shrugged, "Inconvenient?"
Chen Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I wish you the best, teacher."
With Zhu Weiran following her, Jiang Xiao became even more uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but she always felt that the way Zhu Weiran looked at her was a little strange.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhu Weiran sat across from the two of them. He seemed to have no intention of eating the whole time, only focusing on Jiang Xiao.
"You two are together?"
Zhu Weiran's sudden words made Chen Cheng blush and waved his hands repeatedly, "Teacher Zhu, Xiaoxiao and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Don't be nervous, I didn't say anything." Zhu Weiran raised her red lips slightly, then smoothed the broken hair around her ears, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, A Xing's friend abroad will be back soon. He also
I’m going to introduce you two to each other then.”
The topic changed for no reason, and Jiang Xiao had no intention of sorting out the underlying meaning.
"Oh, really." Jiang Xiao just chuckled, then lowered his head, hiding the bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Cheng was confused as he listened to the conversation between the two of them.
After the meal, Zhu Weiran looked at Jiang Xiao who was a little distracted and said, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."
"No, thank you Teacher Zhu, I can just go back by myself."
Jiang Xiao hurriedly walked away, taking three steps at a time.
Not long after she left, she received a call from Rong Zhixing.
Her mind was wandering, and she forgot to check who was calling, so she just put it in her ear.
A deep and hoarse voice rang on the other side of the phone: "Why couldn't I get through on the phone yesterday? You didn't even tell me when you got home."
"Oh, the phone ran out of battery yesterday." She picked at her fingers. If Rong Zhixing were standing in front of her now, he would have discovered her clumsy lie.
In fact, she set it up so that Rong Zhixing couldn't get in.
"Where are you? Come out and meet me?"
"Jani and I have made an appointment to go shopping now. I won't tell you anymore. Bye."
Jiang Xiao put away the phone and walked forward faster.
But before I had taken a few steps, I felt a shadow in front of me under my hood.
A familiar and refreshing cold fragrance came, and Jiang Xiao stopped instantly. She immediately wanted to turn around and run away, but the figure in front of her made a judgment-like voice and pinned her to the spot.
"Is this what you call shopping?"
There was a hint of teasing in his questioning attitude. Jiang Xiao couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, but he just had a shuddering feeling all over his body and felt too guilty to raise his head to look at him.
I could only continue to lower my head and whisper, "I just called and said it was cancelled. I was about to go home."
"Are you avoiding me?" Rong Zhixing anticipated her movements and took a step forward to continue blocking her way.
"No, why do you say that?"
"It's okay if not. Let's go, I'll take you to eat."
"I've already eaten."
Rong Zhixing sighed, "How about dessert after dinner?"
If he said no, he would be hiding too deliberately. Jiang Xiao could only nodded and let him take her to a dessert shop.
The decorations in the store are all pink, and it feels like a little girl's dream castle.
These are Jiang Xiao's favorite styles. Normally, if she came here, she would definitely cheer for joy, but now she couldn't be happy.
He and Rong Zhixing sat opposite each other, looking increasingly lonely.
Sensing her emotions, Rong Zhixing's eyebrows came together involuntarily, "Why, you seem unhappy with me?"
Jiang Xiao raised his little head and pretended to smile lightly, "No."
"Let's see what we can eat." Rong Zhixing handed over the order in his hand.
Jiang Xiao was not in the mood to eat, so she chose a few items at random.
Then Rong Zhixing continued to speak, "The competition will be in three days. I will pick you up and go with you then."
Although she wanted to avoid him, she couldn't take the hard-earned ticket lightly, so she could only bite the bullet and nodded, "Okay."
"Do you have any plans recently? You don't have to go to the school often. The company recently needs to make an endorsement song and invited Yu Wei. Don't you like her very much? If you are interested, you can come over."
Jiang Xiao thought to herself, how could she go there? Wouldn't her identity be exposed by then?
"I have something to do these days."
"But I haven't said which days it is?" Rong Zhixing's eyes showed a look of disappointment, but he quickly put it away, "Forget it, if you don't want to go, I won't force you."
At this time, the waiter came over with the dessert and placed it in front of Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao also took this opportunity to eat the dessert with a fork, hoping to alleviate the current awkwardness between the two of them.
Rong Zhixing just stared at her for a moment, thinking of Rong's mother's words in his mind.
After hesitating for a long time, he seemed to have finally summoned up the courage to ask: "What do you think of a man who is seven, eight, nine... years older than you?"
Jiang Xiao's hand holding the fork paused, and what Zhu Weiran had just said in the restaurant flashed across the sea of milk.
He was a little angry, but he still suppressed the critical point of explosion. Jiang Xiao just held the cake in his hand a little harder.
"Do you have a friend who is coming back from abroad?"
Rong Zhixing was stunned, "You mean Zhou Yi? How do you know?"
Jiang Xiao's operation made Rong Zhixing unclear, so what does this have to do with Zhou Yi? And how did the two of them know each other?
Jiang Xiao looked at him with a clear look, and then seemed to have made up his mind, "I can only accept someone who is three years older than me. He will definitely die quickly if he is so much older, and he is not considerate at all, and there is nothing wrong with him."
A common language.”
These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Rong Zhixing's already stiff face become even more rigid.
It seemed that what Rong's mother said was right. It was generally difficult for anyone to accept such a big age difference, and he could understand it.
It's understandable, but the dull pain in my heart is unavoidable.
Jiang Xiao fiercely shoveled the cake into her mouth, stuffing herself into a little hamster. The bulging look was particularly cute, making people want to squeeze it.
As soon as he had such an idea, Rong Zhixing was stopped by his own consciousness. He was just a brother next door. He had to be careful not to cross the line, otherwise he would be afraid that he would be addicted and unable to extricate himself.
However, he didn't know that Jiang Xiao had already scolded him bloody in his heart.
Die Rong Zhixing! I want to introduce another man to her!
