"Can you change the day? I do have plans for tonight..."

Fries' face was full of embarrassment, but he couldn't find any suitable excuse to refuse, so he could only pretend that something happened.

"Ouch! Ouch..."

Hongdou's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the hesitant French fries and shouted meaningfully: "Is there something wrong with our French fries?"

"That's right! That's right!" Mustard on the side also hurriedly agreed, looking at him with evil intentions, "You are usually the most active when it comes to eating. Why, why did you change your gender today?"

"There is a problem! There must be a problem!"

"What are you talking nonsense about?" Looking at the two faces in front of him that deserved a beating, Fries knew that they must have thought wrong again.

But he didn't know how to refute, and a complicated emotion emerged in his heart for no reason.

Yes, looking at the entire Chicheng editorial department, no one knows the existence of Xia Jun... Mainly because Fries has never mentioned a single thing about Xia Jun to anyone.

——Somehow, he just doesn't want others to know her existence.

It's like a secret.

"It doesn't matter, what are you trying to shirk? We're just going downstairs to have a casual meal, so we won't disturb your date!"

Hongdou still had that sinister look, but Fries also knew that this was just his temperament and he didn't mean any harm, so he didn't feel any offense.

"Then...okay!"

In the end, Fries reluctantly agreed.

After all, we have already talked about this, and if we try to shirk it again, it always feels a bit disrespectful. What's more, if we just go downstairs to have a casual meal, it really won't take too long.

But having said that, it seemed that he had only promised to go over to see her in the evening. As for the time...it seemed that he had not made an agreement with her.

Fries nodded secretly.

He didn't know whether this was self-deception or not, but at least thinking this way made him feel a lot more comfortable.

But he still subconsciously took out his cell phone, thinking to send her a message first so that she wouldn't have to wait there stupidly again.

"Tsk tsk...I caught you! You three are fishing here!"

A pretendingly serious voice suddenly sounded behind him, Fries was shocked, and the cell phone he had just taken out instantly fell to the coffee table.

But he didn't dare to pick it up. At this time, his whole body was stiff and he had a confused expression on his face.

It is true that everyone has a chance to fish at some point, but if someone directly catches or pokes someone, his face will eventually become a little dull.

What's more, he found that even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out who the person behind him was?

Leader? Which leader?

There were quite a few female leaders in Chicheng, and there were only a few who were directly related to the editorial department. But he really couldn't connect this voice with the above-mentioned people.

His mind began to work rapidly. Since he couldn't figure out who it was, it was time to consider countermeasures. Based on this situation, the first step was to reach an agreement with the two people opposite...

He believed in the tacit understanding between them.

Fries raised his head as if asking for help and looked at Wasabi and Anko sitting opposite, and then his expression froze.

It seems... completely different from what I imagined?

I saw the two people opposite just sitting there quietly, staring at the fries, with meaningful expressions on their faces, even a little joking.

Something is wrong! Fries narrowed his eyes and grasped the situation instantly.

He turned his head sharply, and a bright smiling face appeared behind him. A finger was raised to his mouth, obviously signaling that the mustard and red beans on the opposite side should not be poked.

It's strawberry.

Fries' face instantly turned red, and his expression began to twist unconsciously, "What are you doing, don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Although the tone was reproachful, it seemed to sound a little more pampering.

Strawberry touched the ball on her head and smiled shyly: "You are allowed to fish, but you are not allowed to tell others?"

The three of them were a little embarrassed to be exposed in such a simple and crude way.

"Hey... Strawberry, you are wrong. Are we fishing? We are just... just discussing business!"

Hongdou smiled and pointed to the notebook on the table, "Don't you see? The notebooks are all nicely placed here!"

"It's weird to believe you!" Strawberry jumped to Fries' side, leaned over and picked up his notebook.

"There is not a single word on the entire page. Are you telling me we are discussing business?"

Her eyes were full of cunning and she smiled as if she had seen through everything.

"Aren't we just discussing business!" Hongdou waved his hand and said quibly: "We are just here now, and we have just begun to discuss the three fatal chapters of Master Hua Xu!"

No matter who it is, it is impossible to be angry when facing such a lovely girl.

What's more, they also knew that she was probably just joking.

"Speaking of this, I would like to ask, who was the first to spread this news in the office? I just saw it, and it simply... caused me extreme discomfort!"

Strawberry's words were full of resentment, while Anko and Wasabi's faces were full of weirdness, and their eyes flashed unconsciously.

"Is it you?"

Strawberry's face was full of suspicion, "Let me tell you, my fragile heart has been seriously hurt. Just tell me, how can you compensate me?"

Upon hearing the compensation, Mustard immediately lost his composure.

"You've got the wrong person!" Mustard's expression became more and more weird, "You have to ask the person next to you why he would do such a thing?"

Strawberry raised his eyebrows, turned around and stared at the fries, "Is that you?"

"No, no, no, it's not me..." Fries quickly waved his hand, "I'm a victim too!"

"It's weird to believe you!" Strawberry let out a low laugh, "Is there no one around? Move your seat!"

She was talking about where the French fries were sitting, a small sofa.

Similar to the sofa where Wasabi and Anko were sitting, it was basically only big enough for two people to sit side by side. It might be a little too crowded for Wasabi and Anko.

When Fries heard this, he subconsciously moved to the side, trying his best to make some space for the strawberries.

But considering that the fries are already thin, and adding a strawberry, although it won't be crowded, physical contact is naturally unavoidable.

The two people across from each other looked at each other with somewhat strange expressions, but they were in tacit agreement and didn't say anything more.

This is an indescribable feeling... From their point of view, the relationship between these two people seems to have reached a higher level out of thin air. Everything is so smooth and natural!

It wasn't until Strawberry sat next to him that Fries had time to look at her carefully.

I only caught a glimpse of her walking into the office in the morning, but my eyes were more focused on her flawless face.

It was only now that he was able to see the whole picture, and he once again understood what it means to be stunning.

The heating in the building is very sufficient, so there are people of all kinds of clothes. Those who are more afraid of the cold may wear sweaters, while those who are not afraid of the cold may even wear short sleeves.

And Strawberry is currently wearing a pure white dress. The lower edge of the skirt just covers her calf, revealing a bit of snow-white softness, which is particularly eye-catching... Her skin is obviously also extremely fair, against the backdrop of the pure white dress

Not only does it not look dull, it actually feels like it complements each other.

To be precise, this dress is relatively conservative, but the scheming revealed in the subtleties is the most eye-catching.

The waist was deliberately gathered, revealing a voluptuous waist... Further up, the peaks were undulating, forming a sharp contrast with her slender waist, which greatly enhanced the visual impact. The neckline was not open.

It is very low, but the exposed, swan-like neck draws a graceful arc. Following this curve, there is an endless depth, which is addictive.

Fries' eyes were a little straight, and Wasabi and Hong Bean also looked like pig brothers.

Although they did not covet strawberries, the beautiful scenery in front of them still made them fall into reverie.

"uh-huh!"

Strawberry cleared her throat and woke the three of them up at the same time.

"However, I still have to congratulate the fries first!" Strawberry looked at the fries deeply and said.

"Congratulations?" Fries was a little confused. Then he turned his head and looked at Wasabi and Anko who were sitting opposite. They also had blank faces...Obviously they didn't know.

"Don't you know yet?" Strawberry asked curiously, "I thought you knew it a long time ago!"

"What do I know! Ever since I read the three fatal chapters of Master Hua Xu, I have had nothing to think about. Then I just looked at the submissions in my mailbox. When you say it now, I am really confused.

Got it!"

Fries looked at Strawberry with a wry smile, as if trying to find the answer on her face.

"One of your authors is on both the potential list and the new book list, and you don't even know?" Strawberry squinted his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Hold the grass!" Before Fries could react, the two people opposite him started to boil.

"You fries, you are still pretending to be stupid here, and you don't even tell the writer below that he is on the list, you are really hiding it!"

"No wonder I told you earlier that there were no newcomers on the list, but you didn't seem to mind at all. It turned out that you made a big deal without saying anything!"

Mustard looked at the fries suspiciously... He felt that his mentality was a bit broken.

Although he wouldn't be jealous of French fries because of this, the numbness and shock on his face at this moment clearly meant that he was completely unaware.

He couldn't help but feel so angry! It was really...so sour!

It would be fine if we just used some of the lists on this site. The problem is, this is the authoritative index list of online articles!

French fries were also stunned.

He had not finished reading the list before when he was interrupted by Mustard. Therefore, he did not continue reading at that time, but he never imagined that this pie-in-the-sky thing would actually fall on his head.

…

Fries felt like he had fallen into a long dream.

It was so long that he was not sure whether what he was in now was a dream or reality.
Chapter completed!
