Chapter 25 Have we known each other before
A Malatang shop in an alley.
Jiang Lingsi and Xi Ruan sat down in the empty seats.
Xi Ruan looked around. The restaurant was not big, with only 8 tables in total. The decoration was simple but very clean. It was already occupied by people. She and Jiang Lingsi happened to sit on the last table. The table is empty.
Jiang Lingsi placed Xi Ruan's milk tea in front of her, "Just drink your milk tea here and wait for me while I pick the vegetables."
Xi Ruan held the milk tea and nodded obediently .
She thought he had eaten, but she didn't expect that he was still hungry.
In this small shop, Jiang Lingsi's figure was particularly eye-catching. Xi Ruan was drinking milk tea while staring at his back, thoughts flying in his head.
She thinks Jiang Lingsi is strange.
He seems to be very domineering. For example, he dragged her away from the classroom without saying anything. He said he wanted to find her and came in a hurry regardless of whether she was okay or not. He just bought her something without asking her. Milk tea, he brought her milk tea all the way regardless of her wishes.
But this kind of overbearing prevented her from feeling any resentment. Instead, she felt that there seemed to be a hidden thoughtfulness and tenderness in it.
Xi Ruan lowered his eyes again and glanced at the taro paste Bobo milk tea in his hand.
Is it a coincidence? Why did she feel that he seemed to understand her very well... Moreover, he seemed to care about his weight in her heart. The aura around him just now made her feel that if she didn't say something quickly, there would always be an invisible barrier between her and him. wall.
Xi Ruan felt vaguely that something was wrong.
Is her inexplicable trust in him really just because he saved her that time?
And the name he called her just now was clearly "Shen Xiaoshu"'s nickname for her.
Did Shen Jiashu tell him this...or was Jiang Lingsi once their playmate?
Xi Ruan was lost in her own thoughts. She carefully recalled the scenes from her childhood, but apart from a blank, there were only sporadic and blurry scenes left.
She tried to see clearly, but a tingling sensation suddenly arose in her mind.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Lingsi's unique cold voice reached her ears.
Xi Ruan immediately came back to her senses. She put down the hand that was holding her forehead, smiled and shook her head at Jiang Lingsi.
Jiang Lingsi glanced at her up and down, and seeing that she didn't seem to be uncomfortable, he sat down with the waiting number.
Xi Ruan held the milk tea and drank it. While drinking, he carefully observed Jiang Lingsi's face.
Jiang Lingsi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him. He leaned on the back of the chair and adjusted his sitting position. As a result, when he stretched out his long legs, he touched the legs of Xi Ruan opposite him.
Hoda's words flashed through his mind inexplicably. He was so frightened that his legs trembled. He quickly retracted his legs, turned his face sideways, and said in a bad tone, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not handsome. It's been a day or two. "
It would be troublesome if I fell in love with him. How could he explain it to his brother?
Two brothers fighting for a girl? What a bloody plot!
【Have we known each other before? ] Xi Ruan ignored his strange attitude and typed this sentence for him to read.
Jiang Lingsi froze, his eyes darkened and darkened, his hands in his pockets clenched and loosened, and finally he raised his eyes to look at Xi Ruan, who looked confused and seemed to have not thought of anything. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what if we know each other, so what if we don't know each other, will it have any impact on us now?" He whispered, got up and went to the food pick-up window.
Xi Ruan wanted to stop him, but after her lips moved, she put her hand on her throat and lowered her eyelashes.
After a long time, Xi Ruan looked at his blurry reflection on the smooth tabletop and smiled lightly.
Yes, no matter how much you explore the past, you can't change the current situation.
Just like her voice, it can never come back.
It would be better if he didn’t know her from the past...
——
Xi Ruan waited for a long time before Jiang Lingsi came back with spicy hotpot. .
He probably knew the boss here, and he stood at the window and chatted with him for a long time.
After the young man sat down, he lowered his head and ate in silence. Under the cover of the brim of his hat, she couldn't see his expression. She could only stare at his slender fingers that glowed with a cold white jade under the light.
Jiang Lingsi finished his last bite, put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and threw the paper ball into the trash can beside the table.
"As I told you on WeChat before, if you agree, I will take you there next weekend." He leaned back, his expression as usual.
Xi Ruan thought for a while.
Last time, Jiang Lingsi said that his friend’s game company had a character whose image and modeling could not be finalized. He felt that her appearance was more in line with the setting, and he wanted to refer to her appearance. Make this character and let her think about it this week.
So if she is willing, she may need to go to the company and let the staff collect facial information and parameters.
Xi Ruan felt that this was not difficult for her. If she did not agree to Jiang Lingsi's request, she would feel guilty.
【Okay, shall we go next Saturday? 】
“Well, I’ll tell you the specific time and place later.” Jiang Lingsi shook the phone in his hand.
【Do I need to prepare anything? 】Xi Ruan was worried that he didn’t understand and would waste everyone’s time.
Jiang Lingsi glanced at her little face and said casually, "No, just come here beautifully."
Xi Ruan nodded, Jiang Lingsi felt there was nothing wrong with it. Having said that, he stood up and planned to leave. Although he originally wanted to test Xi Ruan's voice today and ask her about her voice, but now he was really not in the mood and had no suitable topic.
Xi Ruan stood up and followed Jiang Lingsi to the door. When Jiang Lingsi asked her about where the nanny would pick her up, the owner of the store ran out.
"You kid, didn't I tell you to wait for me?" An uncle who looked to be in his forties stood in front of Jiang Lingsi. He reached out and thrust a glass bottle into Jiang Lingsi's hand. Go up, with a complaining look on his face.
“I told you no, it’s too troublesome.” Jiang Lingsi glanced over helplessly.
The uncle glared at him, turned around and handed another bottle of drink to Xi Ruan with a smile, "This is your first time coming to our store, little girl. This is our family's secret peanut juice, now available. Most people can’t drink it. I only make it for regular customers.”
Xi Ruan took the still warm bottle and smiled at the shop owner.
When the shop owner saw this, he immediately smiled like a flower and patted Jiang Lingsi on the shoulder, "This good boy has grown so tall and big in a blink of an eye. I will bring little girls here more often in the future!"
After saying that, he turned his head and said, "Young girl, you can come anytime if you want to drink my peanut juice. Uncle, you can drink it until you're full!"
Jiang Lingsi couldn't bear it and rolled his eyes. He stretched out his hand and pushed the shop owner in, "Okay, okay, hurry in and get busy with your takeout orders. Don't keep thinking about it. It's not the case at all."
"Oh, why are you like this kid? What's wrong with me talking to the little girl? I'm not that old-fashioned..." Jiang Lingsi pushed him into the kitchen before he finished speaking, closed the door with a bang and walked out of the store.
Looking at the little girl who was holding peanut juice obediently, he suddenly felt tired. One by one, he either felt that they were a couple or felt that they had a grudge.
"Don't worry about what he just said. People of this age just like to think and talk nonsense."
Xi Ruan blinked.
Does he mean not to let her take her uncle’s words seriously and drink peanut butter?
Xi Ruan naturally would not be so shameless and nodded obediently.
The two people had a smooth communication. Jiang Lingsi accompanied Xi Ruan until the nanny was about to drive over before leaving.
At this time, the two people who were on their way home had no idea that a post on the campus forum was quickly becoming popular.
# shocking! The shocking new school beauty! After eating it, I wanted to poke my eyes out! #
Ouch, I forgot the time! !
Because I have to go on a long journey tomorrow, I have been packing my luggage today, and I have been packing it until now.
