She just wanted to eat and see that sushi restaurant. After all, she was deterred by the price and had never tried it.
This is the reason that Kai Yuan convinced herself.
"Sit down." Xu Chen put the sushi on the table in the living room. "Want a drink?"
"Oh...what?"
"Coffee and green tea."
"Green tea is okay. Thank you."
He came to the kitchen and made two cups of green tea.
When he was making tea, Kai Yuan helped to open the sushi box. The whole plate of sushi seemed to have its own spotlight, the color was fresh and tender, and each piece of fish flickered with a fresh light.
It looks delicious.
Kai Yuan's saliva was about to flow down.
Visually, there are about forty pieces of nigiri sushi, as well as sashimi. In addition, a small wooden box is used to put crushed ice on the edge of the large wooden box.
There are two servings of Chawanmushi and Miso Soup.
Xu Che came over with a teacup.
"One is a gift." Xu Chenlooked at the miso soup and tea bowl steaming, and explained superfluous. "Because I bought a lot, the boss gave it to me for free."
"Yeah."
He didn't really need to explain it. Even if he did buy two, she wouldn't be surprised.
The attitude he showed was that he wanted to pursue her, but she still questioned his purpose.
This is like being bitten by a snake once, and afraid of a rope for ten years.
She didn't have the courage to be happy either, and she really gambled on going to bed once to determine his true intentions.
She couldn't lose a second time.
She can't take it.
Xu Chen brought cutlery and plates for Kai Yuan to put the sushi on.
The atmosphere when they were eating was still very awkward. Although the food was present, his stomach was blocked. He felt that he might have to take a stomach medicine to relieve the stomach pain after this meal.
"That... Lai Zhuo Qun, how have they been recently?"
Kai Yuan casually raised a topic.
"Why did you ask about him?"
Xu Chen was quite concerned when she mentioned Lai Zhuo Qun. After all, on the day they went to camp, she and Lai Zhuo Qun would chat and laugh as soon as they finished talking behind the tent.
At that time, he was the "Xu Chen with amnesia", and he helped her several times, but he had never seen half of her smile.
He felt jealous, and his mouth was sour.
"I only know those two of your friends. How about Hu Yilin?"
"I can show you the others, more serious ones."
Know his other friends?
Kai Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered his head to avoid the gaze that seemed to show his eagerness.
"Do you have serious friends?"
She deliberately used a mocking tone to avoid the "serious" suggestion.
Xu Chen didn;t know whether to laugh or cry, "Lai Zhuo Qun and the others are friends whom I eat, drink, and have fun. Don't you have such a friend?"
"No."
"..." Xu Chen was silent for a while. "I don't have much contact with them now."
"Why?"
"I'm not in the mood to have fun."
And he took Kai Yuan and Ke Xin away last time, and left them at the resort, making them angry. It was not easy, and they scolded him for being dishonest, and after a while, they took the initiative to contact him again.
It felt a little dangerous to continue to ask, and the topic would definitely return to her so Kai Yuan chose not to ask again.
So she continued to bow his head and eat sushi silently.
After eating a few, the phone rang, and it was Ke Guan Yu who called.
In this moment, she somehow didn't want to answer the call.
Xu Chen caught sight of the name on the screen.
"Why didn't you pick it up?" He pretended not to know who it was.
"Mmm... um, I'm going to pick it up."
She stood up, looked around, a little overwhelmed, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and stepped into the balcony before sliding the call.
"Hey...yes, I'm off work...I'm having dinner with my friends, have you eaten yet?"
There were several potted plants on both sides of the balcony, Kaiyuan glanced casually, and saw a pot of succulent on a green low stool. When she saw it, her eyes widened, she quickly approached and squatted down to observe carefully.
"Well...okay, let's do this first, I’ll hang up."
Putting the phone in her jacket pocket, she picked up the pot of succulent.
She remembered that she bought this pot and put it in Xu Chen's house.
It's been so long, and it's still here?
