She's not coming.
Xu Chen sat in front of the electric grill, and the dining table was full of ingredients, such as sliced meat, shrimp, chicken legs, clams... it was very rich.
But the heroine he invited didn't come.
Seeing that it was already half past twelve, Kai Yuan was always on time, and she would not come if she was not past the time.
He looked at the clear sky outside the window and sighed. At this time, his mood was like a stormy typhoon day, and he couldn't feel the warmth of the sun at all.
Sure enough, it still doesn't work.
No matter how hard he tried, she still had no intention of forgiving him.
Disappointed, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the sliced meat, hesitated for a while in mid-air, and put it down in a dispirited way.
He's just going to order for delivery.
What fun is it to grill by yourself.
He picked up his phone and searched for a list of his favorite restaurants.
Sliding through page after page, he felt unwilling again.
It's been so long, he's too unwilling to give up now.
After clicking on the frequently used contacts, he dialed Kai Yuan's number.
No one answered the first call, so he called again.
You're not dating that Ke guy, are you?
He gritted his teeth and waited intently.
It rang five or six more times, and she answered it. The background sound was very noisy, and it was obvious that she was outside.
She really didn't intend to come.
He felt like his heart was frozen in ice water, so cold that he shivered.
"Hello?"
"You... want to come?"
"What? It's a bit noisy here, wait a minute."
The noise gradually became smaller.
"What did you just say?"
"Where are you now?"
"...I'm in the supermarket." She paused for a while before saying, "I'll buy some corn, green peppers and fruit. I think your barbecue combo must have no vegetables."
In fact, when she woke up, she was still hesitating. She wanted to discuss it with someone, but the only person who could discuss it was Ke Xin, and Ke Xin would definitely call her and encourage her to go to bed with him, to find out what this man really wanted.
So she handed her fate to the copper coin.
If it comes up heads, go for it.
In the end, God was on his side.
Xu Chen is fond of meat, so he definitely don't know how to prepare vegetables. His family doesn't own a restaurant, and there are no ingredients in the refrigerator, so she decided to go to the supermarket first, buy them before going there.
"Yes, are you?" The corners of the mouth opened in surprise, "Are you coming?"
"That's right, otherwise, if you grill the meat yourself, what if it catches fire later?"
"That's right, that's right, hahaha..."
He was so happy.
"I'll be there at twelve o'clock, you don't have to call me at seven or eight in the morning."
"But it's late now."
"Nonsense, it's only after eleven o'clock." She raised her wrist to look at her watch, "Eleven o'clock..." No, it was already eleven o'clock when she left the house, why is it still eleven o'clock now?
"What time zone is your phone set in?"
"My watch is broken." She sighed and shook her hand, but the watch still didn't move. "I'll go there when I'm done shopping, just wait a little longer."
It turned out that her watch was broken!
She will come!
Xu Chen couldn't be more happy.
"Which supermarket are you in? I'll go over and help you carry your things."
"No, there aren't many things."
Xu Chen heard the sound of the radio.
"Is it the one next to the road in front? I'll go there now, you wait for me."
Xu Chen rushed back to the room, took the coat, grabbed the key and went out.
