four
Where should we go? Tianxin estimated the time in her mind and casually pointed to the road on the left: "Just keep heading east, and you will reach outside the Fifth Ring."
After all, he is one of the bosses, and the more expensive it is, the more he earns. Zhuang Feize took the menu and revealed a major scoop
What is happening?
She was indeed correct in her thoughts; as Jiang Siming sat down at the piano, a chorus of girls' screams erupted in the live broadcast. Jiang Siming merely smiled gently, causing the girls present to become ecstatic.
Where is it that exaggerated? She only went to sleep a little after 5 o'clock, and it is only 8 o'clock now
Fine, I cannot argue with you. Let's just watch the live broadcast of the evening party first
Senior Zhuang, you really know how to joke. My home is in the nearby city M, and it takes less than an hour to get here by high-speed train
What live broadcast? Is there a live broadcast of today's evening gala?
Now she has even forgotten the rule of not speaking, raising her phone in front of Zhuang Feize and tapping his shoulder: "Who is this?"
Zhang Qilin? This name sounds very familiar! Tianxin always feels like she has heard this name before, but she just can't recall.
Tianxin found it somewhat baffling; how could this person change their demeanor so drastically after just waking up from a nap
"It's alright, I admire the teaching quality of Nanyin University and I worked hard to get in because I really like it." Tiexin did not want to make the two brothers feel awkward, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.
Your talent is perfectly normal, after all ... ...
Tianxin woke up with a start from her dream, and upon opening her eyes, she realized that she was still in the passenger seat. At this moment, the car had already come to a stop, and there was no one else inside the vehicle besides her, enveloped in silence. Even more terrifying was the fact that the sky outside had already turned dark.
In a hurry, Tianxin unfastened her seatbelt and opened the car door, only to realize that they seemed to have stopped in a quiet alley. Not far away, under the dim streetlight, Zhuang Feize and Zhuang Feichi were standing by the roadside, seemingly engaged in conversation. She slowly exhaled and walked over, faintly hearing that the two brothers appeared to be having a heart-to-heart talk
What on earth is this place? Why can something as simple as a vegetable be sold for a three-digit price? Just pointing out a vegetable made her feel pained, and she simply could not bring herself to look at the other dishes.
"Alright, let's go there," Tianxin said, filled with a sense of boldness, and without asking what the place was, she agreed. As a result, she did not notice the slight furrow in Zhuang Feize's brow.
"Alright, are you the one checking the household registration?" Zhuang Feize suddenly retorted at Zhuang Feichi. Zhuang Feichi was taken aback; it seemed he hadn't said anything, right?
What a fool
Seeing Tianxin's bewildered expression, Zhuang Feize couldn't help but shake his head: "What a fool"
This is not nonsense, but rather an apology for the misunderstanding that occurred earlier
Since he cannot be sent back, let us apologize with delicious food. With this thought in mind, Tianxin became even more resolute in her intention to treat them to a good meal
What is going on? Tianxin struggled to open her eyes wide, and after a while, she finally recalled the sequence of events... So... where did Zhuang Feize and his brother go? They wouldn't have left her behind and departed early, would they?
Indeed, it is Brother Siming, his ability to command the situation is truly formidable! Tianxin quickly fell into a state of infatuation.
As the sweet and gentle breathing of Tianxin continued, Zhuang Feichi, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, opened his eyes. With a hint of a smile, he teased, "Even an iceberg has a day when it melts. Is it really interesting for you to be so protective?"
Tian Xin not only did not take Zhang Qilin to heart, but also quickly cast her aside, for when the two on stage came together, her eyes automatically filtered out Zhang Qilin and focused solely on Jiang Siming
"Besides me, what about your younger brother? Isn't that right, Zhuang Feize?" Tianxin bantered with Zhuang Feichi while seeking Zhuang Feize's assistance. Although Zhuang Feize did not speak, he still ordered all the signature dishes, standing on Tianxin's side.
"Selling will always give money to others." Zhuang Feize said softly as he passed by her.
You are quite obedient, aren't you? Tianxin nodded in satisfaction, just as she was about to send a text message to Yang Cong to explain the situation, a voice leisurely came from behind: "I say, have you two forgotten that there is a third person in the car?"
Zhuang Feize remained expressionless while eating in the face of his brother's incredulous gaze. However, upon hearing the continuous praises from the side, his heart stirred slightly, thinking to himself, what a fool who has been sold yet still counts the money for others.
Tian Xin forgot; she never mentioned where she was going, so how could Zhuang Feize know the destination
"It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon," Tianxin said while picking up her phone, after all, Jiang Siming's program was about to start, and without Zhuang Feize, he would surely become the center of attention.
This is not your style; I can't believe you would act so recklessly.
I was just saying it casually, did you really believe it? Tianxin's expression instantly turned into a bitter melon face. She quietly glanced at her phone and was surprised to see that it was only a little past 4 o'clock, what could we possibly eat at this time?
"You should sleep, I will call you when it's time." Zhuang Feize beside her spoke gently, his soft voice completely relaxing Tianxin, causing her to lean her head and fall asleep immediately
I did not know that you were such a soft-hearted person
Who is this girl
"It's already like this, do you still have the mood to eat?" Zhuang Feichi was astonished
There are still many things you do not know... Have you woken up?" Facing the standing Shuan Xīn, Zhuang Fei Ze noticed her and took the initiative to greet her
Looking at Tianxin's round and plump eyes, Zhuang Feize couldn't help but reach over with one hand to pull her seatbelt and with the other hand, he patted her head: "Seatbelt."
Stop pretending, you seem to be enjoying the conversation with my younger brother so much that you've probably forgotten about me, right? By the way, junior, you aren't from Harbin, are you? It's surprising that you're not afraid of my brother's cold demeanor
Ah, since this is Senior Zhuang's place, I will not stand on ceremony, as you will definitely take care of the junior. Waiter, bring out all your signature dishes!
Soon, Tien Xin entered the Su Yi Ju, and when she trembled while holding the menu, she realized why he had said that at the time
Haha, Senior Zhuang, are the dishes in this place made of gold? Otherwise, how could they be so expensive
Well, I really forgot about it!
"I want to as well, but my younger brother won't allow it," Zhuang Feichi said with a smile, glancing at the person beside him. "However, junior, you really can sleep; you have slept for almost two hours. By the time we go back, we might not make it to the evening party."
M City? I remember that the universities in M City are not inferior to Nanyin University. Why did you specifically choose to come to Nanyin University?
Zhuang Feize glanced at: "Zhang Qilin from the Law School"
Zhuang Feichi was almost amused to the point of laughter and reminded, "Wealthy person, I never said I would waive your bill"
Hearing him say this, Tianxin felt a bit embarrassed, but she couldn't apologize immediately, as it would reveal her thoughts. Just when she was in a dilemma, Zhuang Feize suddenly spoke up: "Did we not agree to have a meal?"
Zhuang Feize, waiting at the red light, glanced at Zhuang Feichi's face in the rearview mirror and said, "Interesting"
Driving back from here will take at least over an hour. Will we make it back in time for the curtain call
Zhuang Feichi listened to her words and merely nodded, then leaned back in the rear seat to rest his eyes. Tian Xin turned to face forward, while Zhuang Feize beside her remained silent, driving the car quietly.
Zhuang Feize tapped the table and said, "Do not talk or watch television while eating"
"Just eat your meal, you talk too much." Before Zhuang Feichi, who had awkwardly inserted himself into the conversation, could finish speaking, he was retorted by his younger brother. He couldn't help but glance again at this younger female student who was so much lighter than her older brother.
In the beautiful white car, a family photo of four is placed in a Chinese knot frame hanging from the rearview mirror. Tianxin sits in the passenger seat, unable to resist leaning in closer to take a better look. In the photo, Zhuang Feize appears somewhat youthful, with light bangs and a stubborn, indifferent expression, which seems out of place compared to the other three smiling individuals.
The other two people at the dining table looked at her with different thoughts. Zhuang Feichi felt that this girl might really have a problem with her mind; anyone with discernment could see the deep relationship between the two people at the table, yet she still had a lovesick expression. Moreover, his younger brother actually did not allow him to expose it.
No, no, how could Senior Zhuang possibly have a low presence? I was just about to ask you when you spoke first, hahaha
The subtle air flowed within the car, and despite the vibrations of the vehicle, she surprisingly felt a bit drowsy. However, out of politeness, she still insisted on keeping her eyes open, occasionally shaking her head to keep herself alert
So... is there anything you do not eat
As the prelude gently played, she finally heard it clearly; it was Hebe Tien's "A Little Happiness"
Tianxin was drawn over, leaning in front of Zhuang Feichi to watch the live broadcast together. When the dishes arrived, the two of them discussed the program like brothers.
Tianxin, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched her head and gently laughed, saying, "I apologize for making you wait. Why didn't you call me up?"
Do you not know? She is with ... ...
Although only her profile was visible, the long dress with a single shoulder strap made of white lace, combined with the girl's waist-length hair, made her look stunningly beautiful, almost like a painting. When the sound of whistles from the boys in the audience was heard, it became clear just how beautiful this girl was.
Well, haha... I can't exactly say that I came here because of the boy I like, can I
Oh. Tianxin's face turned red. She did not know why, but she felt that ever since Zhuang Feize had saved her, she had changed somewhat. It seemed as if she was no longer as indifferent as before, and at times, she even felt as if the iceberg was beginning to melt.
I hear the raindrops falling on the green grass, I hear the distant school bell ringing, but I do not hear your voice, earnestly calling my name
Has this person only had this expression since childhood? Tianxin pondered this question seriously. However, Zhuang Feize, in the driver's seat, suddenly reached out a hand while waiting for the red light, startling Tianxin: "What are you doing?"
No, no, it's only 8 o'clock now, we should be able to make it back in time.
Zhuang Feize suppressed a smile as he glanced at the person beside him, his words still icy: "How would I know? Hurry and show me the way."
Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?" Zhuang Feize said while skillfully steering the wheel.
Is it an illusion? She carefully nudged the person next to her who was driving and asked, "Senior, what do you want to eat?"
Leaving the city? Zhuang Feize nodded slightly and followed her words, walking east without asking anything further
The magnetic sound combined with the melodious piano is simply delightful, isn't it? Just as she was lost in the music, a long-haired girl suddenly walked onto the stage and began to sing the chorus that followed the melody.
Tian Xin hurriedly put her phone away, feeling a bit embarrassed as she turned around. Sitting in the back seat, Zhuang Feichi looked at the girl in front of him with a half-smile, his tone somewhat gritted: "At least, junior, you said you would treat us both to a meal. Why are you only asking Zhuang Feize and not me? Is my presence really that insignificant?"
In Tienxin's dream, everything went smoothly. The welcome party in the evening attracted many people to attend, and the closing act changed from Zhuang Feize to Jiang Siming. Jiang Siming, wearing the white cotton shirt she had previously chosen for him, sat beside the piano. A beam of white spotlight fell on him, and he looked down with a warm smile. However, when he lifted his head again, it transformed into Zhuang Feize's face
"Otherwise, should we just continue standing here in the wind?" Zhuang Feize's cold joke did not make Tian Xin feel at ease; instead, it made her feel even more guilty
Since you have graciously invited us, we shall not stand on ceremony. Zhuang Feichi narrowed his eyes and spoke before Zhuang Feize could stop him, "Let us go to 'Suiyi Ju'"
"What’s taking so long? Haven't you ordered yet?" Zhuang Feichi teased Tianshin, noticing her hand trembling as she held the menu.
