This "date" was really just about drinking coffee. Even the few words that were said were basically centered around Jian Xiaoqi.

But that's right, I really think that the only connection between them is because of Jian Xiaoqi. One is her best friend, and the other is her colleague, or in other words, her suitor.

Star Tao is not jealous at all. Really, she feels that handsome guys are just for looking at. If she is lucky enough to have her own label, even better. If not, it will not be a loss if she sees enough!

Thinking of this, Yang Tao cherished the opportunity in front of him even more, staring at the person opposite him with his big eyes open, as if he was the fragrant coffee in his mouth.

For a moment, Qi Mingyu's face turned slightly hot. He couldn't resist the bold direct gaze of a certain girl, and moved slightly, "Will being out for such a long time disturb your work? Will you get in trouble?"

He had this idea because Jian Xiaoqi was often made things difficult for them, but Yang Tao was hanging out with her cousin, and even other reporters had to give her some face, so there was no such problem at all.

"No, I told my cousin before I came out. Oh, by the way, I am interning with my cousin now! Although she looks fierce, she is still a very nice person!"

Star Tao said in a good-natured way. Every time he glanced at a beautiful man, he would lower his head and take a sip of coffee, then squint his eyes in enjoyment...

Qi Mingyu pretended not to see her and nodded matter-of-factly, "Not bad. If you follow your cousin, she can teach you patiently and you will learn more."

"That's true, I heard that Xiao Qi was always bullied by that Hua Lin at your place? Humph, I really don't know what that woman was thinking, that she would take her anger out on Xiao Qi!" Yang Tao was proud at first,

Then he thought of his good sisters, and couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, with a layer of anger rising on his face.

Then, when she saw the person sitting opposite her, the expression on her face immediately returned to the spring of March. Of course, sometimes the spring scenery is too much, which is inevitably a bit overwhelming.

Fortunately, before Qi Mingyu turned his head in embarrassment, Yang Tao raised a big smile and said: "But luckily for you, I heard from Xiao Qi that you are the only person in the entire department who dares to reach out and speak for her. Thank you so much

You! Sure enough, handsome guys are all kind-hearted!"

"Cough cough cough..."

After Yang Tao finished his last words, Qi Mingyu's face, which was fine before, finally turned... the color of pig liver. He coughed a few times and almost became the first handsome guy to choke to death on his coffee!

What does this guy's handsomeness have to do with whether he has a good heart or not?

But it was Qi Mingyu who was too smart to ask this question out loud, probably because he didn't expect anything else to come out of his mouth, which was full of handsome guys.

Yang Tao admired him silently for a while, and saw that the other person wanted to leave but couldn't open his mouth. Although he felt a little regretful, he still didn't feel too embarrassed and pretended to ask him: "By the way, is your coming to Y City related to the interview?

Then when will you go back?"

"It's not an interview, but it's almost the same. I'll go back in a while and meet them at about four o'clock."

After Qi Mingyu finished speaking, Yang Tao quickly took out his mobile phone to check the time. Darling, is it already past three o'clock?

"Yeah, it's only more than half an hour. You're still here, will you be late?" Yang Tao is impatient. Seeing Qi Mingyu sitting there indifferently, she couldn't help but feel anxious for him. Although some

It was a pity that he was leaving, but when he thought that he might be criticized for returning late, he couldn't help but urge him to go back quickly.

Qi Mingyu did not object, "Well, I am going back, then you..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine. It's so close anyway. I can walk back in three to five minutes. But you, you'd better hurry up and join your friends and the others!" Yang Tao stared at the stool Qi Mingyu was sitting on, wishing that there were needles pricking under it.

Already.

"Okay then, I'll leave first. After you agree on a time to go back later, please tell me and I'll see if the time is okay."

Even now, he still didn't forget his purpose. Star Tao bit his lip, feeling a little sad, but he still nodded.

After exiting the cafe door, Qi Mingyu pointed to his car parked not far away and looked back at her, "You go back first. My car was parked here before, so I won't go there with you." Sure enough,

Ah, do you throw it away after using it?

Yang Tao hesitated for a while, and finally stopped Qi Mingyu when he turned around and walked towards his car, "Wait a minute -"

Qi Mingyu turned around when he heard the sound and looked at her with confusion, "Is there anything else?"

His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes turned from the other side of the road seemingly unintentionally, and fell on her, with a touch of alienation, completely different from the way he looked when he was sitting in the coffee shop just now.

Yang Tao looked at him seriously, and finally asked: "Actually, don't you and Xiao Qi work together? Why don't you ask her directly about this kind of thing?"

After she asked, the person opposite didn't speak. Yang Tao continued: "Also, you came to me today not just by chance, right? It's just that you clearly know that I... I like you, but you still want to

Pursue her through me?"

After saying these words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Yang Tao's face. She was not stupid. His attitude was so obvious that it was difficult for her not to notice it! It's just that she really liked him after all and knew that he was "using" her so much.

, which is actually sad.

Yes, she should actually be taken advantage of, right?

The atmosphere became tense in an instant. Yang Tao was waiting for his answer, while Qi Mingyu also lowered his head and thought about her words and what he had just done...

After a long time, he finally raised his head and looked at her seriously, "I'm sorry, it's me who has made things difficult for you. Let's just let this matter go... It's just that I regard you as my ordinary friend, so I happened to come here."

I just want to buy you a cup of coffee, there is no other purpose."

Before today, there was nothing wrong with what he said. Everyone knew that playboy Qi Mingyu had friends all over the place. It was just a cup of coffee, and it was nothing serious. But after today, I'm afraid he needs to change this habit.

Yang Tao felt the change in his mood for the first time, and became anxious. She quickly chased after his back and shouted: "No! I have no other intentions, and although I like you, I am not the kind to force other people's feelings."

So don’t worry, I will help you!”

She had already decided that at worst she would tell him the news and see how far he could go. Although, in her heart she was badmouthing him!

Qi Mingyu's mind was moved, and he opened his mouth to speak. Finally, he glanced at her with a complicated expression. After a while, he nodded, "Thank you, Taozi!"

Qi Mingyu left, and Yang Tao promised him that once the exact time for their return was known, he would be notified as soon as possible! Sure enough, starting from that night, she called Jian Xiaoqi every day to ask when he would go back.

.

At first, Jian Xiaoqi said, "He went out of town, let's wait until he comes back!"

This him, of course, refers to Si Yan.

Yang Tao held her phone several times, wanting to tell Qi Mingyu the news, but after thinking about it, she gave up. So after waiting for more than a week, there was finally news from Jian Xiaoqi that Si Yan was back. Three days later, they

Just go!

"Ah? Three days later? So fast!"

Yang Tao was shocked, thinking that Qi Mingyu said that he would be out for the next two days, and he didn't know if he would be able to catch up...

"Is it fast?" Jian Xiaoqi was confused by her surprised attitude and asked: "Didn't you ask me this every day before? I thought you couldn't wait any longer, so I specifically told him to do it as soon as possible!

"

Yang Tao didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh twice, "It's nothing, I just feel that your reply was too sudden this time, haha...ah, let's not talk about it! There are only three days, I will hurry up and get ready.

, let’s go back together then…”

Jian Xiaoqi was very considerate and persuaded her with a smile: "Well, go ahead, pack up well, and remember to bring more specialties back!"

"Okay, hang up!"

After confirming the return trip arrangements with Jian Xiaoqi, Yang Tao hung up the phone and told Qi Mingyu the news immediately.

Qi Mingyu: "...three days later?" He had plans for that day.

Yang Tao knew his situation and was a little embarrassed, "Yes, I originally thought that she would be home... for a few more days, but I didn't expect that she told me today that she would go back in three days."

"Have you bought the ticket? Can't you change it?" Qi Mingyu was talking, suddenly paused, and then changed his words: "I mean, you two have a good relationship, can you discuss with her and postpone it for a day or two?

?”

Yang Tao was very embarrassed, how to tell him that the person from Xiaoqi's family would not change his decision easily? If he told him, he would probably be sad.

She didn't speak, and Qi Mingyu knew that he had given her a hard time, "I'm sorry, I was just talking casually..."

"It's okay!" Yang Tao interrupted him, "It's not that I won't help you, it's just that her family members, um, want her to go back early, so...she may not be able to change the date."

Although she had deliberately concealed it, how could Qi Mingyu not know about it? Especially her attitude was very revealing.

Here, in order to change the subject, Yang Tao began to worry about whether he could come back as scheduled, "Well, what are you going to do? Can you still come back and set off with us?" At this point, she was so nervous that she even breathed lightly.

A lot.

There was silence on the phone for a while, and it took a while before Qi Mingyu's voice rang, as clear and warm as ever, "Don't worry, I will rush back as soon as possible. By the way, if you buy tickets, remember to send me your flight information."

…”

Yang Tao was indeed relieved. She was originally going to help him buy the ticket, but after thinking that Si Yan might know about it, she stopped.

"good!"

In any case, he hasn’t changed his mind and it’s good that he will go to Rongan City with them! Yes, no matter who he likes, she can still appreciate him as a friend...

Yang Tao comforted herself in her heart, but little did she know that from the first time she persuaded herself in this way, it was destined that her emotional path would take a path completely inconsistent with her personality...
