?

He Hua glanced at Xu Simian for no apparent reason, and whispered softly, "Why is he so mysterious?"

Wen Ciyi quickly frowned and said, "I don't know either."

Xu Simian waited calmly for them to finish speaking. He Hua then asked: "Then do you think we should book seats for four people?"

A feeling of powerlessness came to Wen Ciyi's heart. She glanced at the confused Li Le, thinking that she could not reveal her feelings in front of her brother's roommate, but she calmly said: "The visitor is a guest, let's book.

"

He Hua neatly placed the order.

Li Le never thought that he would meet a senior who had graduated here. Moreover, he had met a few times before. He didn't think much about reaching out to shake Xu Simian's hand and said: "Hello, senior, I am also from Peking University. We have met before.

A few times."

"Yes." Xu Simian glanced at Li Le nonchalantly, stretched out his hand and shook it symbolically, then said slowly: "Hello."

When Xu Simian walked in front, Li Lecai dared to whisper to Wen Ciyi and others from behind: "Have I offended him somewhere?"

Wen Ciyi paid attention to the surrounding scenery and asked smoothly, "What's wrong?"

"The senior held my hand so hard just now that I felt like my hand bones were about to be crushed," Li Le rubbed his wrist and said uneasily, "I won't really offend him in any way.

Alright?"

He Hua patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, "Don't worry, kid, it's just because of one person."

Li Le was confused: "Who is it?"

He Hua's expression is thought-provoking, but he won't go into details.

The meaning of the word Wen: "..."

The restaurant was not too far away. After showing the online reservation, the waiter took everyone in with enthusiasm. He Hua booked a private room. Wen Ciyi was about to sit next to He Hua when he glanced at

Xu Simian's fingertips tapped lightly on the table a few times.

The meaning is self-evident.

Wen Ciyi took into account the fact that Li Le was present, and was afraid that Xu Simian would say something that was not surprising and would never stop, so he went to Xu Simian's side with his lips curled up.

The two of them were very close to each other. When Xu Simian saw Wen Ciyi coming over obediently, the smile on his face seemed a bit sincere. He had been wearing a fake smile before, which made Wen Ciyi look at him with fear in his heart.

Several people ordered dishes with different thoughts. Wen Ciyi was just about to find an excuse to go outside for some fresh air when someone grabbed his wrist from underneath. Wen Ciyi took advantage of the other two people talking and didn't pay attention.

He quickly shouted in a low voice: "Let me go."

Xu Simian's face still curled her lips lightly, but the strength in her hands did not diminish: "I don't want it."

Wen Ciyi was a little angry for a moment, but she was worried that Xu Simian would go too far and say something else, so she felt panicked and had a headache. Where was the little boy who blushed easily before?

She let Xu Simian hold it for a while, and when the food came, she went to get the juice and broke away. Xu Simian didn't hold it anymore. He Hua saw Wen Ciyi's grimace and asked, "Why is Mr. Xu so busy today?"

Time to have dinner with us?”

"You don't really have time." Xu Simian's voice became much colder compared to his temper towards Wen Ciyi: "It's just a chance encounter."

He Hua raised his eyebrows: "Is that so? Does that mean Mr. Xu will also go to that gym to work out?"

Xu Simian's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said lightly: "Yes, but not often."

"That means I will go, right?" He Hua caught the loophole in Xu Simian's words and said, "Then why have I never met Mr. Xu?"

Xu Simian didn't seem to panic at all, and just asked: "What time do you usually do?"

He Hua thought for a moment: "The distance between after five o'clock and where we are eating now."

"I get off work at nine o'clock," Xu Simian said with no emotion, but the pressure intensified for a moment: "If I have time, I'll stay there until early morning, so-" Xu Simian snorted and followed up lightly.

words: "Isn't it normal that you can't see me?"

And Li Le, who had been confused from the beginning, couldn't even see the current scene clearly.

Adhering to the principle that the more you know, the faster you will die, Li Le immediately looked at his nose, nose and mouth and concentrated on eating.

He Hua claimed that his skills were not as good as Xu Simian's. He changed the subject and asked Wen Ciyi, "What does Ciyi usually like to do?"

The topic of Wen Ci's opinion suddenly turned to himself, and he said blankly: "What?"

"Mr. Xu will go to the gym when he has time after get off work on weekdays," He Hua stared straight at Wen Ciyi, but said unabashedly: "What about you?"

Wen Ciyi frowned. She was not sure the purpose of He Hua's question, but He Hua would never make things difficult for her, so she replied: "I go home after get off work and occasionally check my phone. It's very ordinary.

It’s daily life.”

"Well," He Hua suddenly said, "It's normal. Let me ask you, do you think two people need to have a common topic when they are together?"

Wen Ciyi was startled for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Xu Simian next to him, who had his jaw tensed, and said, "It's necessary."

"Hahaha, it is necessary, especially -" He Hua said without any scruples: "There is an urgent need for common topics between people who are new to the workplace and those who have been working hard in the business world for a long time."

"Really?" Xu Simian asked.

Wen Ciyi interrupted the somewhat tit-for-tat atmosphere between the two and said, "Let's eat, let's eat, and don't talk about work outside."

He Hua shrugged his shoulders and turned to talk to Li Le, who had been eating. Li Le obviously didn't realize why the topic was about him. He was confused for a long time before he took the conversation in a daze.

The meal was neither painful nor itchy, and He Hua and Li Le enjoyed it very much. Wen Ci looked at Xu Simian's expression intently, feeling that when he returned home, he might have to face the changeable Xu Simian again.

But what Wen Ciyi didn't expect was that Xu Simian sent her upstairs calmly, and even helped her tidy up her clothes and said good night.

Wen Ciyi looked at Xu Simian with some uncertainty. Xu Simian stopped what he was doing and said, "Sister, when you look at me like this, do you want me to do something?"

Wen Ciyi hurriedly shook his head, and Xu Simian took two steps back, widened the distance between the two, and asked seemingly calmly: "Does sister feel the same way?"

Wen Ciyi did not step forward, but stood there and asked, "What do you think?"

"We had nothing in common before." Xu Simian said naturally.

His pupils were like a pool of stagnant water, and even the warmth had faded a bit. Wen Ci's heart jumped suddenly, and he licked his lower lip and said, "I didn't feel that way."

Xu Simian looked deeply at Wen Ciyi and said in a flat voice: "Sister, please go in first. Good night."

Wen Ci sensed that something was wrong with Xu Simian's mood, and said, "Good night," without making any further guesses.

She didn't sleep well today. She had a dream. In the dream, she saw Xu Simian when she was a child. It was really strange. Wen Ciyi thought that she should have met Xu Simian for the first time in a bar. But Meng

Xu Simian inside was holding a small doll in her hand, which looked no different from the white dog she raised. She also had the appearance of a child, but she was only a few years old.

In the dream, she followed Xu Simian and stood at the entrance of a street, but the street was full of desolation. Even the street signs were stained with embroidery, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

But Xu Simian just stood there stubbornly, as if waiting for someone. His face was still open, like a white and tender little dumpling. He asked Xu Simian in the dream warmly: "Who are you waiting for?"

?”

"Waiting for the person who lied to me and said he went to buy candy but didn't come back." Xu Simian said with a stern face.

"Then since he has not come back, there is no need to wait and waste time." Wen Ciyi could not imagine how important this man was to Xu Simian and said truthfully.

Unexpectedly, Xu Simian glared at her and said angrily: "How could it be unnecessary? She never lies to me."

"She——" Wen Ci realized that it couldn't be someone she knew and asked, "Who is she?"

But in the dream, Xu Simian suddenly became wary of Wen Ciyi, who was of the same age, and said in her heart: "What does it have to do with you?"

Wen Ciyi choked for a moment and said: "I'm curious about what kind of person can make you stay where you are and wait for her."

But Xu Simian in the dream just frowned tightly and didn't speak.

When Wen Ciyi woke up the next morning, she was still thinking about this matter. Xu Simian sent her a message saying that she had an urgent meeting and had to go to the company first. I was sorry that I couldn't bring her breakfast.

Wen Ciyi responded with a good answer.

In the next few days, she didn't meet Xu Simian, and the Xu Simian in her dream never came. It seemed that the dream was just her illusion, or she was in a trance for a while.

Affected by the cold air this year, the weather forecast predicts moderate to heavy snowfall in the next few days, reminding people to take precautions.

When Wen Ciyi heard the news, she was stunned and thought that another year had passed. Wen Nan also called her and asked her if she wanted to go back to celebrate the New Year together. She said she would see again.

In the past few days, the company had a big order that Xu Simian handed over to Wen Ciyi. He went on a business trip temporarily. Wen Ciyi worked all night long for a long time before successfully accepting the order. He worked with people from the company department for the third day.

Just finished it in the afternoon.

After finishing their work, many people clamored to go to sleep for a while, but Wen Ciyi was unusually able to maintain a high degree of concentration.

She had just had dinner in a hurry and was immersed in analyzing the arguments. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she received a call from Li Le saying that Wen Nan was drunk at the bar and kept asking to see his sister.

Wen Ciyi had a big head and two heads. After asking for the address, he hurriedly went downstairs and drove to the place. This bar was not Benchu, and it occupied a much larger area than Benchu.

It almost includes two floors underground and four floors upstairs. It has all the facilities inside, including dining rooms and KTV rooms.

Wen Ciyi was eager to find her brother. She looked at the house number that Li Le sent her. She walked around for a while on the third floor and finally found the private room after asking the waiter. As soon as she opened the door in a hurry, she bumped into someone's sight.

.

Even his breathing slowed down a lot. Wen Ciyi never expected to meet Xu Simian here.

He was wearing a white suit, leaning relaxedly on the back of the sofa, with a return pin on his chest. There were a few people sitting in twos and threes around him. The lights were dim, but she recognized him in the crowd at a glance.

But shouldn’t Xu Simian be on a business trip now?

Wen Ciyi glanced at the handsome man and woman who were about the same age as Xu Simian. She was holding a cup in her hand and joking unscrupulously, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
