After the promotional video was shot, Xie Zhiyao invited everyone to dinner to express his gratitude.
Barley was the first to say that he would not eat it.
"I didn't sleep all night last night. I really can't stand it anymore and I have to go back to catch up on my sleep."
Lin Na also said: "I have a severe headache and I don't want to eat anymore."
When Xie Zhiyao saw that neither of them wanted to eat, he turned his attention to Xu Hongdou.
"I won't eat either. I drank too much yesterday and want to rest." Xu Hongdou finally rejected Xie Zhiyao.
The three girls returned to Yunmiao Village together. Wang Gang directly lent the car to Lin Na to drive, while he stayed at the racecourse and had dinner with Xie Zhiyao.
Without the beauty to accompany him, Xie Zhiyao was like an eggplant beaten by frost, without any energy.
"What's the matter with you? If you don't want to treat me, just say so. I'm going back too." Wang Gang saw Xie Zhiyao's dead face and lost interest in eating.
"Brother Wang, I can see that there is no chance between me and Xu Hongdou." Xie Zhiyao drank the wine in the glass with a grimace.
Wang Gang didn't say anything and just had a drink with him.
"Xu Hongdou likes you." Xie Zhiyao put down his wine glass and said.
Wang Gang acquiesced. If Lin Na could see it, Xie Zhiyao could naturally do it too.
But Wang Gang was not too embarrassed, even though he knew Xie Zhiyao liked Xu Hongdou.
"When you advised me not to pursue Xu Hongdou, was it because you also liked her?" Xie Zhiyao stared at Wang Gang, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "I advised you before because I simply thought you were not suitable and didn't want you to get into trouble. It was just a reminder between friends."
Xie Zhiyao said angrily: "I think you are serious. You want to pursue Xu Hongdou, so you persuade me to give up."
Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Forget it if you don't believe me. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."
Xie Zhiyao took another sip of wine and said, "Do you like Xu Hongdou?"
Wang Gang sighed and said, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Xie Zhiyao was excited and felt that Wang Gang was just pretending.
Wang Gang poured a glass of wine for Xie Zhiyao and said: "Xu Hongdou is a very good woman, and any normal man will be tempted, and I will not be an exception.
But if you ask me if I like her, I really don’t know. I can only say that I have a crush on her, but not to the point of liking her yet."
Xie Zhiyao became even more angry.
"You're so good at what you say, but I want to hit you!" Xie Zhiyao clenched his fist and said.
Wang Gang sighed deeply: "You are not me, so you don't understand my troubles."
Xie Zhiyao just felt that Wang Gang's pretense really deserved a beating.
Wang Gang had his own concerns and could not tell Xie Zhiyao.
He was worried that a hundred years from now, Xu Hongdou would take the first step and he would become lonely again.
So in this life, he was very cautious about relationships. He didn't even have a girlfriend in his thirties.
Although Xu Hongdou looks like a fairy, Wang Gang didn't dare to start with her rashly.
You may call him pretending or being stupid, but the pain of losing the most important person is really difficult for outsiders to understand, and he doesn't want to bear it anymore.
For the current Wang Gang, immortality is really a kind of torture that others cannot understand.
Now he hopes that Xu Hongdou can be reincarnated like him, even if they never know each other again after reincarnation.
Xie Zhiyao suddenly felt an oppressive sadness on Wang Gang's body, which made him breathless.
Wang Gang quickly realized that his mood was wrong and quickly adjusted himself.
Mental problems are also one of the reasons why Wang Gang has been reluctant to get involved in relationships.
Xie Zhiyao finally shook his head and sighed: "I can finally see that Xu Hongdou's heart has been tied to you, and I will only treat her as a friend from now on.
But I want to remind you, don’t just rely on Xu Hongdou to like you, you can keep hanging on to her, be careful there will be nothing in the end."
Wang Gang said seriously: "I didn't hang her up, I just wanted to let nature take its course. After all, she has to live here for three months. I want to use these three months to completely sort out my feelings for her."
"Okay, I'll wait for three months." Xie Zhiyao said calmly.
The two of them continued drinking without appearing to be rivals in love. By the end of the drink, they ended up drinking and talking freely, completely letting go.
In the end, Xie Zhiyao got drunk and could not return home, so Wang Gang placed him at the racecourse and went back to Yunmiao Village to explain to Grandma Xie.
When he arrived at Xie's house, he accidentally saw Xie Zhiyuan.
After working outside for several days, Xie Zhiyuan finally returned home. Unfortunately, his eldest brother Xie Zhiyuan was drunk and didn't know.
Xie Zhiyuan's appearance hasn't changed much, but he feels like he has suddenly grown up. He even used a few days' wages from part-time work to buy gifts for his grandma and eldest brother.
Grandma Xie was so happy when she saw her little grandson coming home. She had cooked a table of delicious dishes and was waiting for Xie Zhiyao to come home for dinner.
I didn't expect to wait for several hours in vain.
"Ah Nai, I'm sorry, Ah Yao drank too much, I'm afraid I have to sleep in the racecourse today." Wang Gang was a little embarrassed to face Xie Nai.
Grandma Xie asked Xie Zhiyuan to eat first, and she led Wang Gang outside the house.
"Ayao got drunk just because of Hongdou!"
Grandma Xie had long known that her eldest grandson liked Xu Hongdou.
It's a pity that falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless.
"You have to be nicer to Hongdou in the future. I can see that she is hiding something on her mind." Although Xie A'nai is older, she has a very vicious eye.
"Grandma, Hongdou and I are just friends now."
Grandma Xie hummed and said: "A man chases a girl across a mountain, and a girl chases a man across a layer of yarn. I am not old enough to be blind. Miss Hongdou has fallen in love with you."
Wang Gang suddenly thought of a sentence, the hardest thing to accept is the kindness of a beautiful woman!
Grandma Xie said: "Xiao Wang, grandma doesn't know what you have experienced before, but you always have to look forward. Maybe Hongdou is the one who can cure you?"
A thunderbolt flashed through Wang Gang's mind, and he was stunned.
Grandma Xie sighed, patted Wang Gang on the shoulder, and said, "Be good to Miss Hongdou, you are all good children."
After saying this, Grandma Xie went back to the house to eat. Wang Gang returned to the courtyard with his head dizzy, and happened to see Xu Hongdou finishing washing up, her hair still wet, and preparing to go back to the room.
"Hongdou." Wang Gang called Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou looked at Wang Gang in confusion.
"Your foot injury is almost healed. Are you interested in going out to the village tomorrow? I know a beautiful place."
Faced with the sudden date invitation, Xu Hongdou panicked at first and then calmed down.
"Are you and me going?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Yes, it's just the two of us. You should wear lighter clothes. You may have to climb mountains."
Xu Hongdou lowered his head and asked, "What time will we leave tomorrow?"
"We will drive there at eight o'clock tomorrow morning," Wang Gang said.
"Okay." Xu Hongdou nodded slightly, then took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran back to his room.
The moment she closed the door, Xu Hongdou felt her heart beating so fast.
Wang Gang in the yard looked at the clear night sky and the stars, and said to himself: "I don't know if you can cure me, but I am willing to give it a try!"
…………
Early the next morning, Wang Gang got up early and rarely went to exercise. Instead, he went into the kitchen to prepare two breakfasts and played with the necessary things for a while.
Xu Hongdou went downstairs at 7 o'clock and was slightly excited to see Wang Gang.
"Brother Wang, you got up very early! I can leave after I wash up."
"No hurry, take your time, I'm preparing breakfast for us to eat on the way." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Seeing that Wang Gang was skillfully preparing sandwiches and thoughtfully preparing milk and eggs, Xu Hongdou quickly went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
When Lin Na and Damai heard that Wang Gang and Xu Hongdou were going out to play alone, their faces showed ambiguity, but no one said anything or asked to go together.
"Brother Wang, please take care of Hongdou, her foot injury is just fine." Lin Na warned and said.
"I know." Wang Gang took out the extra breakfast and said, "I made a lot of breakfast, so you can have your share."
"That's so embarrassing." Lin Na said this, but her hand had already reached out to the sandwich, and she was not polite at all.
Xu Hongdou quickly washed up, changed into light clothes, took her camera and ran over to join Wang Gang.
"Brother Wang, let's go!"
Wang Gang nodded, put on his bag, and left the windy courtyard with Xu Hongdou.
After the two left, Lin Na and Damai got together.
"Da Mai, Brother Wang seems a little different today?" Lin Na said.
"Brother Wang seems to be a little more proactive today?" Damai asked doubtfully.
"Yes, yes, brother Wang did take the initiative and actually asked Xu Hongdou to go out to play?" Lin Na's eyes lit up and she said:
"It seems like good things are coming for these two."
Damai nodded with deep understanding and said: "Actually, Brother Wang and Hongdou are quite compatible. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. They are both from the capital. They met in Yunmiao Village after traveling thousands of miles. It is simply a destiny."
Lin Na smiled and said: "Do you have a theme for your novel?"
Damai lowered his head in thought, completely immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't care about Lin Na at all.
