Chapter 36
After getting off the plane, Li Xinghe turned on his phone.
The message bar is empty, and there is no new message prompt.
Ding Huishan had an appointment today, and he sent her a message saying that he had arrived in S City, so he pushed his luggage and walked out of the gate.
After walking two steps, he saw Zhao Qingbei standing at the taxi place.
This person...hasn't left yet.
Li Xinghe didn't know how to face him, and his mood was a little complicated.
When Mingming first got on the plane, he made up his mind that he didn't want to like this person anymore, but when he got off the plane and saw him, he was still a little unconfident.
"Brother, come here yet." Zhao Qingbei waved to him.
Li Xinghe thought to himself, if you don't like it, you don't like it. They are classmates, so there will be no quarrel.
So he walked over and said, "What are you waiting for me for? We may not necessarily go the same way."
Zhao Qingbei stuffed his luggage into the trunk and said very naturally: "Then I'll take you back first."
The two got into the car and sat in the back seat not close to each other.
The carriage was very quiet, and it took almost 5 minutes before Zhao Qingbei said, "Sorry, I was wrong about what happened just now."
Li Xinghe's eyes flickered while looking out the window, is he apologizing?
Obviously Zhao Qingbei misunderstood, thinking that he was angry about what happened just now.
"On the plane, I thought about it carefully and felt that there was something wrong with my attitude." Zhao Qingbei said in a low voice, "You and Li Xiao are just the relationship between the boss and the subordinate. Meaning. It may be because I care too much about my brother, which made me speak out of proportion, I'm sorry."
Every time he said a word, Li Xinghe's heart trembled.
The psychological construction he had done before fell apart one after another, and he was thinking optimistically at that time—gradually shifting his attention to Zhao Qingbei, not caring what he did, not caring what he said, maybe after a while, he would not feel anything. up.
But it turns out that he completely overestimated himself.
——It’s impossible not to care.
Every word he spoke was like a thorn on a rose, piercing his skin with a fragrant smell.
While enjoying the happiness of being valued, at the same time accepting the cruelty of the facts.
"Hmm." He replied vaguely.
Zhao Qingbei was slightly surprised, looked up at him, and asked tentatively, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Li Xinghe shook his head, Zhao Qingbei heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "If you go to practice in the future, how about I pick you up? I have a friend who started a business nearby, and I often go there."
Li Xinghe summoned up his courage and said, "No need, my classmate is doing an internship there too, we made an appointment together."
No matter how inconspicuously he behaved, Zhao Qingbei also noticed that he was hiding from him, and he was hiding without leaving any traces, as if he didn't want him to notice.
He smiled calmly and said: "Since this is the case, then don't force it. Brother, are you free these two days? Last time you took me to your grandma's house, this time I also want to take you to the elder's house for a sit-down .”
"No time, I want to accompany my mother." Li Xinghe said decisively.
Zhao Qingbei once again affirmed his thoughts, as expected he was avoiding him.
He turned his head to look at Li Xinghe's side face, he didn't seem to be angry, and he wouldn't lie, if he said he wasn't angry, he wasn't angry.
But why does this expression seem a little sad?
"I'm here, thank you." Li Xinghe said to him when the car stopped.
Zhao Qingbei got out of the car and helped him take out his luggage, without asking any more questions, watching him enter the apartment building.
After returning to the car, he dialed the phone.
"Hello, are you here?" Jiang Yuheng answered the phone, and there was a bit of noise on the other end, as if he was in a bar.
Zhao Qingbei said: "Here we are, has the meeting gift arrived?"
"I signed for it early, and you can see it when you get home." Jiang Yuheng said.
Zhao Qingbei paused, "Are you sure it's something a 40-year-old woman would like?"
Jiang Yuheng said very tactfully: "Of course, in your forties, who doesn't like bags, and they are limited editions. You just don't know your mother well, otherwise, how could you not even know what she likes?"
Zhao Qingbei coughed unnaturally, didn't answer his words, and asked instead: "By the way, how do you usually coax an angry girl?"
"Me??" This was the first time that Zhao Qingbei took the initiative to ask about this matter. He never cared much about his friends' private life, and Jiang Yuheng was immediately flattered.
"Are you asking me for advice on how to coax people? Damn, I heard that right." He seemed to have discovered a new world.
Zhao Qingbei: "The skateboard you saw last time belongs to you."
Jiang Yuheng: "!!!"
Jiang, who was in love, immediately threw out a bunch of tricks, "First of all, you have to find out what he likes, you can't just guess blindly..."
Zhao Qingbei chuckled, "I thought you would say, first understand why he is angry."
"No," Jiang Yuheng shook his finger, "This is the least important point. I don't care why they are angry. Anyway, a sentence of 'I'm sorry baby, it's all my fault' will solve everything."
Zhao Qingbei frowned in disapproval, but due to Jiang Yuheng's brilliant record, he did not object.
"Then do what you like, coax people, you know, you have to show some sincerity, even if it's pretending..."
As he was chattering on the other end, Zhao Qingbei pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "There is a high probability that your method won't apply, let's talk about it."
Jiang Yuheng became curious, "You actually don't like my tricks? Wait a minute, who is our young master going to coax, Xinghe? Why is he angry with you? Mom, I have never seen you coax anyone, can you Record a video for me to watch..."
Zhao Qingbei hung up the phone, and a moment later, Jiang Yuheng bombarded him on WeChat.
【You actually hung up on me! 】
[It's fine if you despise me, hang up on me! ! 】
Among the news of his madness, there was a new news.
Mom: 【Xiaobei, have you arrived at the airport yet? 】
The smile on Zhao Qingbei's face gradually faded, and he replied: [Here we are. 】
You Min immediately said: [Okay, I will ask Uncle Zhang to wait at the door. 】
Zhao Qingbei: 【No, I'm on my way to grandma's house. 】
There was silence for a while, and then replied: [Aren't you going home again?It's rare to come back, go home and live, your room is cleaned every day. 】
Zhao Qingbei didn't go around in circles with her, and said bluntly: 【I don't want to go back. 】
You Min was blocked by him, and it took him a long time to say euphemistically: [Your father is not at home, he went on a business trip, and we have a video chat with your brother when he comes back, he hasn't seen you for a long time. 】
Zhao Qingbei didn't want to continue this topic, and instead asked: 【When is the meal with Auntie Ding? 】
Finally, there was something he was interested in, and You Min was so happy that he sent a voice message directly, "Our appointment is tonight, if you feel too tired after coming back, you can change it to tomorrow. Your aunt Ding said They don’t have any taboos, just pick what you like and eat.”
Zhao Qingbei said: [Then tonight, I can do whatever, let's cook at the private kitchen last time. 】
Li Xinghe should like the restaurant more local.
You Min happily agreed.
At around six o'clock, Li Xinghe and Ding Huishan set off from home.
At Ding Huishan's request, he still dressed a little more formally than usual, just like the last time he met You Min.
He sat in the co-pilot, tugged at his coat and said, "Mom, is it really necessary? I'll dress up like this and go with you to meet their family. It's like a blind date."
Ding Huishan didn't scold him, but smiled, "What you said makes sense, but it's not just a blind date, you used to like clinging to people every month hahahaha."
Li Xinghe was ruthlessly ridiculed by his mother, so he transferred his anger to that Yueyue, "Come on, just because I was blind when I was young doesn't mean I'm blind now, I want to see some earth-shattering handsome guy. I blew it all the way."
Since he came home, Ding Huishan vaccinated him, saying that she heard that Yueyue looks very handsome, 1.8 meters seven, you can get in touch with people more later.
In fact, his impression of Yueyue is relatively vague, and he can't even remember what he looked like when he was a child.
There is only a vague impression of "good-looking".
Probably the kind of girl-like appearance, he thought disapprovingly in his heart, what's so handsome, what's wrong with the aesthetics of middle-aged women now.
After getting out of the car, Ding Huishan gave the key to the person who parked the car.
She whispered: "I have accompanied the leader to this place before, and his food is very expensive."
"It is said that it is expensive and unpalatable." Li Xinghe broke the stage.
Ding Huishan twisted his arm, "Be careful what you say to me later, don't not cheer you up, do you hear me?"
"Why don't I join in?"
"You think I don't know you, do you?"
His subtle resentment towards Yueyue could not escape Ding Huishan's eyes at all.
After going upstairs, You Min waited early in the private room.
Li Xinghe greeted him politely, sat down and waited for his meal.
You Min looked at them, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, he's a bit stuck in traffic."
Ding Huishan said casually: "Why didn't he come with you?"
You Min's face darkened, "He lives at grandma's house, and he drove here by himself. As you know, he doesn't get along very well with his father."
Every time they touched on the topic of You Min's youngest son, Ding Huishan would jump over it keenly, because she found that You Min was not in a good mood when talking about it.
She hurriedly said to Li Xinghe: "Pour Auntie You a glass of water, she's almost finished drinking that glass."
Li Xinghe got up and continued for her.
After a while, the dishes were served one after another, but Yueyue still hadn't arrived.
Li Xinghe shook his legs under the table, thinking that this guy doesn't seem to be a good person, and he is always late for meetings with his elders.
You Min made another phone call in dissatisfaction, and greeted them: "Let's eat first, his car broke down on the road. Hey, every time I asked him to change cars, he refused to listen, and insisted on driving the one his grandpa gave him. vintage birthday present.”
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry." Ding Huishan smoothed things over, "Let's have a light meal and let him take his time."
You Min picked up food for her and Li Xinghe, and said, "Don't wait for him, let's eat ours."
Of course Li Xinghe didn't want to wait for him, he came here just to have a meal, after eating, he patted his ass and left, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
At first I thought the dishes were just a gimmick, and it must not be very good, but I didn't expect it to be quite to his liking.
Li Xinghe ate with great joy, his mouth was full.
He was praising Youmin's taste in his heart, when he suddenly heard the door behind him being knocked twice.
The door of the private room was ajar, and the person came not to knock on the door, but to remind.
He thought it was the waiter serving the food, so he ignored it.
There was a rustling sound from behind, as if someone was walking over.
You Min said pleasantly, "Xiaobei, you're here."
"I'm sorry, Mom, Aunt Ding, my car broke down halfway, I'm really sorry."
A familiar voice came, Li Xinghe stopped chewing vegetables, and then choked hard.
