Chapter 414 Shrimp and Pig Hearts
“That’s it.”
Jiang Chen returned the menu to the waiter, and then noticed that the boy lowered his head in a strange posture.
“Did something fall?”
Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced at the ground.
The floor is clean, covered with high-end ceramic tiles, and is almost spotless.
“No.”
Hong Xiaoyu still buried his head and took apart the bowls and chopsticks, his posture was like a thief.
“You are so young, don’t you have cervical spondylosis?”
The unsuspecting Jiang Chen teased.
Hong Xiaoyu couldn't laugh at all at this time, and couldn't even pretend.
Even if it was only for a few seconds, he still recognized the girl who just came in. She was Ren Miao who had rejected him not long ago on the pretext of having something to do tonight.
But he ended up here with other boys.
Did you not go to that barbecue restaurant because you were worried about bumping into him?
The throbbing pain in his heart made Hong Xiaoyu almost breathless.
Anticipating that the other party had already sat down, Hong Xiaoyu slowly raised his head, not daring to glance, but from the corner of his eye, he still noticed that Ren Miao and the young man had found a table, which was relatively far apart. A waiter had already gone over to greet him, but he probably didn't notice him.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Jiang Chen gradually realized that something was wrong.
The color suddenly disappeared from this boy's face, as if he had lost his soul.
“It’s okay bro, maybe the air conditioner is a bit low.”
Even though he knew that it was impossible for the other party to hear him from such a distance, Hong Xiaoyu's voice was still lowered instinctively.
He obviously didn’t do anything bad, but he seemed to have a guilty conscience.
Has the air conditioner been turned on?
Jiang Chen was surprised.
Why doesn’t he feel anything?
Just when he was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Forced to pause, he took out his cell phone and took a look.
"I'll answer the phone."
"Yeah."
Watching his cousin get up, Hong Xiaoyu could no longer restrain the chaos in his heart, even if he didn't dare to look at it He could also feel the pleasant and harmonious atmosphere there.
For a moment, he even had the urge to run away from the restaurant.
She may have found a better choice.
My cousin’s words on the steps of the gymnasium echoed in my ears again.
One word becomes a prophecy.
“I’m back, where are you?”
“Get ready to eat.”
Jiang Chen, who knew nothing about his cousin’s inner pain, took his cell phone and left Go to a secluded location.
Of course the person calling at this time could not be someone else.
“Are you alone?”
Miss Shi asked.
"No."
Jiang Chen was careless.
Miss Shi was surprised.
She refused the banquet from the Seoul company and made a special trip back early because she was worried that this guy would be too lonely alone.
Who knew it was because she was so sentimental?
"You still have friends in Seoul?"
"Is there any problem?"
Jiang Chen asked back.
"Male or female?"
Shi Qianxi quickly asked.
"Are you a policeman or a neighborhood committee aunt?"
Miss Shi didn't have time to argue with him and repeated: "I asked you whether you are a man or a woman?"
Almost forgot, Seoul It's this guy's hometown, so it's not surprising to have friends here, but she didn't bring this guy here just to make it easier for him to hook up!
“A man.”
Jiang Chen didn’t bother to talk to this aunt, after all, it was rare to see his cousin.
"It's my brother. It's okay. I'll hang up now."
He is truthful and honest, but sometimes, the truth can be easily doubted.
Especially being so anxious to hang up the phone is more like lying.
“I want to come too.”
Miss Shi said immediately.
"What are you doing here?"
"Eating! I haven't eaten yet."
Miss Shi's tone was matter-of-fact.
"My brother and I are having dinner, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Chen's reply was also without hesitation, "It's inconvenient."
Miss Shi is a smart person and knows After so long, she still doesn't understand that playing hard with this guy probably won't work.
"Jiang Chen, do you still have humanity? Uncle Duan and the others said they would throw a banquet for me to welcome the wind, but I didn't even go, just to rush back to be with you, but it would be better for you to leave me alone, right? ?”
Hearing the resentful and pitiful tone over there, Jiang Chen suddenly had a headache.
“It’s really inconvenient.”
“What’s the inconvenience? Isn’t it your brother? Or are you not with your brother? You don’t have a lover in Seoul. Right? ”
The cannon was talking volubly.
Got.
The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Jiang Chen wanted to just put down the phone, but when he thought that this aunt had just suffered a major blow in her life, her parents were not around, and now she was shouldering unimaginable pressure, he couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable.
“I am really with my brother.”
He said helplessly.
"Then let me come over."
I guess this aunt rarely talks to people in this kind of pleading tone.
Jiang Chen understood that if he didn't agree to her, this meal might not be safe.
“If you want to come, then come.”
"I knew you were the best to me."
Even through the phone, I could see the smile on the other side.
Jiang Chen was speechless.
“I’ll send you the location.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone, sent the location, then walked back to his seat and called the waiter, “Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. , and we’ll serve it later.”
“Okay.”
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
“I may have a friend to ask for later. Come on, do you mind?"
Jiang Chen explained.
Hong Xiaoyu was a little surprised, and then quickly shook his head. "Of course I don't mind."
Thinking of that aunt's style, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and decided to give his cousin some mental training first.
"...That friend of mine prefers to joke. Just listen to what she says later and don't take it seriously."
Hong Xiaoyu forced himself to divert his attention and picked up the teapot. Fill both cups separately.
"Brother, are you accompanying this friend to Seoul?"
"Yes."
"Is he your classmate?"
" No, it’s my friend from outside school. She came to Seoul on a business trip, so I came with her to see you. "
Jiang Chen avoided the obvious.
It’s not that I deliberately concealed it.
But if that was the new chairman of Jinhai Industrial, he was worried that his cousin might not be able to bear it.
Hong Xiaoyu forced out a very stiff smile.
My cousin came to see him and he was very happy.
But if my cousin saw this kind of joke...
He already regretted why he didn't choose a farther place just now.
“Are you worried?”
Jiang Chen, who was interrupted by the aunt’s phone call, once again noticed something strange about his cousin.
After all, he is Pei Yunxi's boss now. Being with that kind of professional actor, his research on acting skills has been somewhat improved. Moreover, Hong Xiaoyu's expression management is really unsatisfactory.
“No.”
Hong Xiaoyu hurriedly picked up the tea cup.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen became more and more determined.
"You have been a little restless since you sat down. Are you still thinking about that girl?"
Hong Xiaoyu's hands shook and his face became even more bleak.
“Brother, stop talking, it’s just me who overestimates my capabilities and is thinking too wildly.”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Hong Xiaoyu pursed his lips, held the teacup, and lowered his head in silence.
“Raise your head.”
Jiang Chen’s tone was no longer frivolous.
Although he was once a big licker that no one knew about, and he may still be one now, but he has never felt inferior because of it.
No matter how others ridiculed him, he always went his own way.
If you don’t look down on yourself, then no one in the world will look down on you.
"If you have something to say, don't be too sluggish to feel aggrieved. You don't look like a man."
Having followed his cousin since he was a child, Jiang Chen is still quite popular in Hong Xiaoyu's heart. Authoritative.
Hong Xiaoyu raised his head instinctively, but hesitated to speak, looking ashamed to speak.
"Tell me, what happened."
Hong Xiaoyu wanted to lower his head again, but his cousin stared at him and forced his neck to straighten.
"Brother, you are right, maybe she really has someone she likes."
"Why do you say that?"
Jiang Chen continued to ask.
"Brother, please stop asking."
Hong Xiaoyu's eyes were painful.
"I can not ask, but can you not want to? I am your brother, are you still afraid of being embarrassed in front of me?"
Hong Xiaoyu finally couldn't help the torrent in his heart, "Brother , Don’t you want to see her? She is here.”
It was Jiang Chen’s turn to be stunned.
Of course he was not stupid, he reacted quickly and looked around.
There were about six or seven tables in the restaurant. As if with a sixth sense, Jiang Chen's eyes were fixed on the young man and woman alone at the table far away.
"Is she the girl you were talking about?"
"Yes."
Embarrassment and sadness intertwined back and forth on Hong Xiaoyu's face.
"What a coincidence."
Jiang Chen looked at it for a while.
No wonder this boy suddenly changed his mood.
After all, he is still young, or in other words, he has not experienced any setbacks.
With just this scene, the defense was broken.
It's just a meal. If he and Ai Qian were in the same situation, wouldn't this kid have to commit suicide by jumping off the building?
“Brother, stop looking.”
Hong Xiaoyu seemed to be worried about being discovered.
“Why don’t you go over and say hello?”
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze.
Hong Xiaoyu was stunned.
"Brother, don't you think I'm embarrassing enough?"
"If you go over and say hello at this time, keeping it will make people's eyes brighter."
Jiang Chen is serious.
Hong Xiaoyu was speechless.
A bright spot?
I'm afraid it would be extremely embarrassing.
"Brother, she is not my girlfriend. It is her right to eat with anyone."
Hong Xiaoyu felt that his cousin was encouraging him to make trouble in the past.
But how could he know the pattern of people like Jiang Chen.
If it were Jiang Chen, he might have actually gone over to say hello, and he would have been polite and courteous.
What an opportunity to focus on customers instead.
You are restless now, but if it passes, maybe the other party will be the one who feels guilty and embarrassed.
"Since you know that she is not your girlfriend and she is free to eat with whomever she wants, why are you still struggling here?"
Hong Xiaoyu was speechless. .
"That girl, she doesn't look like a standout. What do you like about her?"
Hong Xiaoyu naturally can't give an answer to such an eternal mystery.
After looking at him for a while, Jiang Chen suggested thoughtfully: "How about we change a restaurant?"
"No, I've ordered all the dishes."
Although Hong Xiaoyu I really wanted to leave, but after all, I wasn't so cowardly as to actually run away with my cousin.
"They eat theirs and we eat ours."
Not bad.
It's still possible.
Jiang Chen was slightly pleased.
