MTL - Gifting You With A City that Will Never Be Isolated-Chapter 35
Zhou’s inevitable confession was rejected, and it’s false to say that it’s not lost. But it’s never reached the point where it’s alive and dead. In the next two days, he happened to meet Bai Ziren. His expression was light and he greeted her as usual. She was more concerned than before. If you don't have to worry about it, stop and talk to him a word or two.
Some things have become smoother, but from her reaction, she is more generous than he expected.
Occasionally he will also think about it, who is her boyfriend, what to do, because of what will be liked by her, once and twice, he can not help but laugh at himself, this has anything to do with him, why bother to remember.
Coincidentally, since he knew that she had a boyfriend, some other classmates also knew that, like his reaction, the first feeling was shocking. The girl with the same hobby was secretly looking for the object. Who is it, they want to know, But no one knows.
During the class, Zhu Mingwen asked Bai Ziren: "Don't bring a boyfriend to school at the weekend?"
Bai Ziren said: "He is very busy and should not be able to catch up."
"What is his job?"
Bai Ziren did not speak, I do not know why, she wanted to cover the identity of Cheng Jingbo.
"Well, you don't want to say it's okay, but many people are curious, what kind of things you will find."
"He is a very good person, working hard, loving to read, learning, and easygoing."
“Is it rich?”
"of course not."
"I also think that you will not deliberately find people of that type. They all blame the side of the mess, saying that seeing your boyfriend's sports car parked at the door of the dormitory, people are too fat, a little old, and at first glance, they are rich people. He said that there are noses and eyes, and many people believe."
Bai Ziren was speechless, when did he come up with such a person, and how the Founder began to talk about it again.
"Really, although you don't talk to everyone, your every move is very much a concern."
"why?"
"You give people a very mysterious feeling."
Bai Ziren lowered his head and stopped talking. The mysterious word has always been with her since she was young, but she doesn't like it very much.
Zhu Mingwen saw her expression that she did not want to say more, and regretted it. It seems that she could not hear anything in a short time.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jingbo was quickly discovered by Bai Ziren's classmates.
It was a day on Wednesday, and the experiment in the afternoon was over. Huang Xiaoling said that today is his birthday. I want to invite everyone to dinner. Five people including Bai Ziren are invited. This time, Bai Ziren did not refuse.
Coincidentally, Huang Xiaoling chose the place to be a lighthouse cafe, which made Bai Ziren somewhat surprised, but it would be no problem to change his mind. He will not appear in the cafe on Wednesday.
"The cafe is on the Sima Road. Every time I pass by, I can smell a strong coffee aroma. I can see people eating ice cream muffins through the window. It tastes good."
“Will the consumption there be high?” Mr. Tang worried about the schoolbag’s purse.
"Reassure, I have enough money, you can go with me."
The group of people went to the lighthouse cafe in a mighty way. Huang Xiaoling was on the road, but he never made a call.
Zhao Xuejie asked: "Xiao Ling, who do you call?"
"Weekly must." Huang Xiaoling whispered, "He didn't pick up, probably sleeping."
"It’s a week, it’s really interesting. It’s really interesting to say that the last time you had a high fever of 39 degrees, you still want to eat melon seeds.” Tang Xuechang joked. “I didn’t expect his face to be cool, and his heart is a child.”
Huang Xiaoling nodded: "I have also seen him buy fish fillets for the stray cats in the school."
"Xiao Ling, you seem to be very concerned about the week." Luo Xuejie laughed.
Huang Xiaoling’s cheeks are reddish, but they are not denied.
Tang Xuechang is not envious of the words: "We must be blessed in the week, and we are so cute with Xiaoling."
Huang Xiaoling sighed: "It is a pity that he does not answer the phone."
Tang Xuechang was very enthusiastic about taking out her mobile phone and helping her to call.
As a result, Zhou did not answer the phone. Zhao Xuejie, Luo Xuejie and another school sister named the star also followed and did not get a response. Just when everyone felt sorry, Huang Xiaoling was unwilling to come to Bai Ziren and ask her. Make a call.
When Bai Ziren made a phone call, less than ten seconds, the inevitable voice came from the other side: "What?"
Huang Xiaoling's face has changed significantly.
Bai Ziren quickly said: "We must be Zhou, today is Huang Xiaoling's birthday, she invites you to participate."
Zhou must ask: "Are you going too?"
"Correct."
"Where is the location? I will come over."
Bai Ziren reported the address, and Zhou must say that he arrived half an hour later.
Hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoling was silent. Zhao Xuejie patted her shoulder in good faith: "It is estimated that he just woke up and was preparing to call back. Xiaobai hit it."
Huang Xiaoling sighed: "It is not. It is clearly that he does not want to pick up the phone of other people."
At this point, everyone has vaguely understood what it is. After all, the inevitable difference between Zhou and Zhou is too obvious.
Bai Ziren couldn't explain it, so he didn't talk, and then looked at Huang Xiaoling's sad face, and couldn't bear it.
Tang Xuewen said gently: "Let's go, my stomach is hungry."
When I arrived at the lighthouse cafe, Xiao Ji, who was behind the bar, recognized Bai Ziren and smiled at her: "You are here."
Others immediately looked at Bai Ziren and asked silently, what is going on.
Bai Ziren made up his mind and made his first announcement to the audience: "My boyfriend is one of the investors in this coffee shop."
This is a lively, the schoolmaster’s look is happy, they also heard that she has a boyfriend, but the secret work is done very well, no one knows who the true man is, I did not expect to get it today. With one piece of news, even Huang Xiaoling felt that the opportunity was rare. He quickly asked her: "There is such a clever thing, is he here today?"
"He is not coming today."
"Unfortunately, I could have let us see the true face of the mountain, but also take the opportunity to get a discount, help Xiaoling save money." Luo Xuejie shouted.
Tang Xuechang threw a brow at Xiaoji, and his mouth was deep and deep: "We are a classmate with your boss, can you have a discount on eating?"
Xiaoji can handle it freely: "No problem, our boss has always been generous, this little money will not be in the eye."
Everyone was happy to sit down and start ordering. The seniors and sisters had coffee and set meals, and Bai Ziren ordered a bowl of noodles.
Xiao Ji specifically told the kitchen to do a little more detail, and they personally brewed the coffee and asked them to eat.
Before serving, the star school sister, who has always been known as a young woman in literature and art, spoke: "I think Ziren's boyfriend must be very tasteful."
The people present at the scene listened to her and said that Bai Ziren was particularly interested in this.
"Look at the layout of this cafe, the details are very elegant, there is not too much color rendering, no small fresh wallpapers and extra furnishings to attract attention, the style is simple, the layout is very big, the music is Ravel. I especially like the peacock dance that mourns the princess."
"I also think that this is special and not the kind of cafe that is the same. It is very quiet." Luo Xuejie nodded and agreed.
“I am a laity, and cafés are rarely coming, but it is very good here.” Tang’s succinct taste, “a little book.”
Zhao Xuejie also said: "Yes, it is very suitable for reading books here. Choose a sunny afternoon, read a essay on the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and you can't help it any more."
Huang Xiaoling turned his eyes and asked very directly: "Bai Ziren, is your boyfriend a young entrepreneur?"
"No, he has a main business and a part-time cafe."
"What is the main business?"
Bai Ziren confessed: "He is a teacher."
"Teacher? You are not afraid..." Luo Xuejie said that she braked halfway.
"What are you afraid of?" Bai Ziren asked.
"I heard that many teachers like teachers, there will be some right and wrong." Luo Xuejie, I had to talk about it.
"No, he has a measure." Bai Ziren said, "I respect him and trust him."
"You can say that there is no problem, sorry, I am also rushing out, no malicious."
Bai Ziren smiled at her and said that she didn't mind.
A bicycle came out of the window and stopped to look inside. Huang Xiaoling first discovered that Zhou must come and waved at him.
Zhou must push the door in, come to the next to Tang Xuechang, and say happy birthday to Huang Xiaoling.
Huang Xiaoling softly said: "You can come, just think, I can't ask you."
Zhou must have looked at the opposite side of Bai Ziren and shrugged his shoulders: "I am not so difficult to ask, just come over and have a meal, and the gift will be filled next time."
Huang Xiaoling heard the surprise and almost thought that he had got it wrong. He confirmed it again: "You want to give me a present?"
Zhou must nod: "The ceremony is coming."
The rest of the people talked about the gift of the gift, Bai Ziren is no exception, the atmosphere is very warm.
"The little cypress is gone, this meal is already there." Tang Xuechang knocked on the edge of the table with chopsticks.
Zhou must be suspicious: "What do you mean?"
Huang Xiaoling took the opportunity to tell him the truth: "Bai Ziren's boyfriend is the owner of this coffee shop, he is very tasteful."
Zhou must hold the glass of the hand, and then smiled, asked Bai Ziren: "Where is the person? Not ready to introduce us?"
"He is not coming today."
Zhou must have frowned. "Is it? It is a pity."
Huang Xiaoling cautiously tempted: "Why, are you a boy who is also interested in other boyfriends?"
"Can't you?" Zhou must be laughing and laughing.
Seeing that there is a tendency to provoke him, Huang Xiaoling shuts up.
A few minutes later, Xiaoji brought six cups of coffee, invited them to taste her craft for free, and blinked at Bai Ziren, as if playing a secret number. Unfortunately, Bai Ziren did not understand.
Until the hot dishes were on, when the six people ate and talked, the door was pushed open, and the high-speed Cheng Jingbo walked in. He said a few words with Xiao Ji, and looked at the window seat, the first time. Find your girlfriend.
Bai Ziren was stunned this time, and he did not expect that he would appear today.
There was a big guy in the cold, and the three school sisters all looked dumbfounded. After Cheng Jingpo called the name of Bai Ziren, they knew that the school’s true boyfriend appeared.
"In the birthday of the classmates?" Cheng Jingbo pressed one hand on the shoulder of Bai Ziren and asked her with a smile.
"Yeah." Bai Ziren has not completely reacted.
"Don't you introduce me to everyone?"
His voice is like a reassurance, let her go back and generously introduce to everyone: "This is my boyfriend."
"Hello." Cheng Jingbo politely greeted the younger classmates.
Say hello to everyone except Zhou.
Cheng Jingbo knows that this is their party. It is not advisable to bother too much. Succinctly said: "If you want to eat anything, I will invite you today."
Once again, only Zhou must have no cheers.
"I don't bother, go upstairs first, call me if something happens." Cheng Jingbo patted Bai Ziren's shoulder, the voice was very gentle.
"Good." Bai Ziren saw his gaze and could not be attached.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jingbo took her hand and licked her hair before leaving. The tone was like treating the child: " Eat more, be obedient."
After he left, everyone was quiet, and Zhou’s inevitable knife and fork slammed on the plate and made a harsh sound.
"There are so beautiful and gentle men in the world." Luo Xuejie was emotional.
"The sound is still so good." The star sister laughed.
"Xiao Bai, you are very good." Zhao Xuejie really envious, "He looks at the man who can make people feel at ease."
"However, I seem to have seen him there." Huang Xiaoling racked his brains and finally got a flash of light. "Right, did he appear when he was cooking boiled fish last time?"
After she reminded that some people have come up with it, Cheng Jingbo is the financial and university teacher who is very popular in the hot pot restaurant and welcomed by the students.
Bai Ziren admits that he is right. Under their questioning, he can honestly say that he asked him to contact him.
Tang Xuechang looked at Bai Ziren with amazement: "Xiao Bai, I didn't expect you to really pick him up later, but he succeeded."
Huang Xiaoling smiled and looked at Zhou inevitably: "You were still poisonous at the time, saying that Bai Ziren couldn't open his mouth in front of him. Now I saw it, people are good."
Zhou must have no emotion of eating at all. I don’t say a word, silence is right.
Huang Xiaoling saw his face ugly, and his conjecture gradually formed, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Sorry." Zhou must suddenly get up. "I think there are still things. Take a step first, and you should eat slowly."
After that, he kept walking out of the cafe all the time.
Huang Xiaoling clenched his fork and his eyes were red. He got up in a hurry and threw a sentence: "I went to the bathroom."
The rest of the people in the table are full of mixed feelings. They are all smart young people. They have already seen this situation clearly. Who is interested in who, who is not interested in who, is a drop in the water, nothing to do.
A meal was not happy, and when everyone left, Bai Ziren went upstairs to find Cheng Jingbo.
Cheng Jingbo sat on the sofa in the living room on the second floor and read the book alone. She saw her coming and patted her side.
Bai Ziren sat down and reached for his book. He found that he was a professional book on the study of early Greek philosophy, and put it down and turned his attention to him.
“It seems a bit unhappy.” He asked her, “What's wrong?”
"A little thing happened."
"Will you tell me?"
"You have to be sure that you won't be angry after listening."
"Let's talk about it first."
"I just sat across from me, the boy in a blue coat, he confessed to me, I didn't tell you in time."
"anything else?"
"I refused him and explained the situation with him."
“Just these?” He looked at her quietly. “I have no reason to be angry.”
She has some doubts: "Really?"
"I have long known that it is impossible for me alone to like you. You will definitely have other pursuers. The conditions will be better than me." He looked at her and said, "But they are a pity because you I am a little bit guilty. I will not look at others again after seeing me."
She did not expect her inner world to be glimpsed by him.
"I don't even have a chance to get angry." He held her wrist and slowly played. "Isn't it?"
"I think more, you can't mind this little thing."
"However, I was deliberately just now."
"Hmm?" She didn't understand.
"Get close to you in front of them."
"why?"
“I saw a little clue.” He explained, “When I approached, I found one of the boys was hostile to me.”
She suddenly realized that his last move was intentional and showed warning.
His eyes softly pressed down and added: "So he won't think about you any more."
"In fact, you don't have to worry, I have already made it clear to him. If you have someone you like, you won't change."
"You are doing very well, but I like to deal with the enemy in person."
"..."
"Just give me the problem next time." He reminded her, "Don't act easily."
She nodded and then thought of a potential possibility. In his character and way of doing things, it is very simple to kill others. He seems to be very keen on this... Well, is it an illusion?
It was pondering, and a voice came from the stairs.
"Cheng Jingbo, I am looking for you to come over for a meeting, it is not convenient for you to talk about love."
Because this sound was too gloomy, Bai Ziren was shocked. Looking back, a man wearing a black long trench coat, wearing sunglasses and fair skin stood there, and his body was air-conditioned.
"He is Zhang Wuji, the boss in the lighthouse." Cheng Jingbo introduced to his girlfriend.
Zhang Wuji took off his sunglasses and went to the table. He looked down at Bai Ziren and turned to Cheng Jingbo. His face was indifferent: "You are an externalist."
"Wrong, she is both inside and outside."
Zhang Wuji sat down and said coldly: "I have never lost, this time is the same, whether it is a thousand or a man's dignity."
Cheng Jingbo smiled: "But at the current pace, you seem to be slowing down a few shots."
"I am good at accumulating thin hair."
"Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Zhang Wuji looked at the ceiling, and the coldness of the height was not cold: "The woman who is more beautiful than me and makes me pleasing to the eye has not been found yet."
Bai Ziren looked at him dumbly.
"It may be desirable to reduce the requirements when appropriate." Cheng Jingbo suggested.
Zhang Wuji regained his gaze, and after a short consideration, he asked: "If there is one stupid and stupid, short, smiley, hobby, gossip, potato chips and superficial Korean drama, work is always lazy, apply cheap lip gloss, girl with pegs I don’t see it for two days and it’s a bit boring. What does this mean?”
Bai Ziren looked at Cheng Jingbo: "Is the person he said is Xiao Ji?"
Zhang Wuji is completely stunned: "I just assume that the opposite lady should not be seated."
Cheng Jingbo answered his girlfriend: "You have to understand a man who has never talked about love, and whose mind is negative in this respect. Don't just say the answer."
"Oh, okay." Bai Ziren said that he understood.
Zhang Wuji’s expression is even colder: “Sorry, it’s time for high-level meetings. I have a very important discussion with Vice President Cheng.”
Bai Ziren squinted and removed his gaze.
Cheng Jingbo patted her shoulder: "You go to the office upstairs, I will come to you."
Bai Ziren was very obedient to go upstairs.
Zhang Wuji leaned back to the back of the chair: "I heard that you moved a sofa bed to the office, wouldn't you wait too much?"
"I want to let her rest when she comes over occasionally."
"It’s an accident. You used to have no patience with women."
"There are two kinds of women, mine and others. The latter has nothing to do with me. I don't have to worry about it."
"Do you want to guide me?"
"I can't talk about the guidance. It's just a small suggestion. If I really like her, I will be straightforward. I will pay attention to it repeatedly by deducting money. It is really not good."
Zhang Wuji was silent. After a while, he said, "I have a sense of proportion to her. Don't rush to be a good person."
He is not unclear, no matter how much money is deducted every month in the month, at the end of the month, Cheng Jingbo is deemed not to see, and still pays her full salary. Over time, Ji Ji called him the big devil in the winter and saw Cheng Jingbo. But respectfully, a teacher with a voice, the attitude can be described as a difference.
Cheng Jingbo's eyes are very light, and there is no interest in it: "As long as you don't overdo it, I won't be involved in it."
