"I think he is very ambitious, and his behavior is a bit radical and arrogant." During the dinner in the evening, although he did not interrupt, he kept secretly observing Lu Jiaming.
"Although you have known each other since high school, his habits, personality, and thoughts have changed greatly after many years abroad. He is no longer the innocent and sunny image you liked in high school. You should observe him more."
It is undeniable that what Zhuo Yilin said makes sense.
If Fisher's family members had said this, she would have seriously considered it, but it happened to be a man who had repeatedly rejected her - so no matter how reasonable these words were, it would be extremely disgusting to hear them from his mouth!
After hearing this, Fisher actually sneered, looking very disdainful.
"Doctor Zhuo, are we familiar with each other? It has nothing to do with you what kind of person I hang out with, right? Besides, I don't know him well, do you know him very well? Although Senior Lu is a relative of your Zhuo family, but I
I guess you haven’t even met each other before, right?”
Zhuo Yilin knew that she would definitely reject his advice, so he was mentally prepared.
Hearing what she said, he was not angry. He still said gently and patiently: "It doesn't take much time for a man to see a man. In fact, you seem to be a good match. If he really likes you, I will be very happy for you."
Fisher couldn't bear it anymore, "You sound like you are someone like me."
"We...at least are friends."
"Friend? I thought you were my dad."
"..."
Seeing that he was choked and speechless, Fisher felt happy in his heart and couldn't help but continue to stimulate him: "Originally, I was a little hesitant and thought about investigating him again - but after this meal in the evening, I saw your father
Being favored by him means that he is indeed very good, so I have to grasp it quickly and not let others snatch him away."
The man frowned and said in an anxious tone, "My father is interested in his career ambition and ability, but someone like him is not necessarily suitable for being a boyfriend."
"Then what kind of person is suitable? Dr. Zhuo, someone like you? Careful, considerate, caring for everyone - do you know there are other names for people like you?"
"..." Zhuo Yilin listened with confusion on his face.
Fisher said slowly: "Central air conditioning."
Zhuo Yilin's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously defended: "I don't treat everyone like this."
Of course he understands the appropriateness of interactions between opposite sexes.
Only those he cares about, values and likes will be treated with tenderness.
In the hospital, he always maintained a polite distance from colleagues of the opposite sex and family members of patients.
Fisher's heart skipped a beat, and the string that had just been tightened almost plucked again because of this "scumbag quote".
Fortunately, she stopped in time and remembered her vow again.
"Okay, it's getting late. We don't need to be like this and others will misunderstand us." Fearing that her determination was not enough to resist his casual "offensive", Fisher dropped these words and turned to leave.
"Xiaoxue!" Zhuo Yilin made no move to stop him, but he shouted loudly, and the words that had been lingering in his mind all night came out, "If I say I regret it, are you still willing to give me a chance?
?”
Fisher's feet suddenly seemed frozen in place, frozen in place.
Her heart was beating wildly, so violently that her whole brain was buzzing, and she even felt like the world was spinning.
She couldn't tell what emotions she was feeling at this time.
Ordinarily I should be happy, but in fact the joy is not obvious. On the contrary, I feel ironic and want to laugh.
Behind her, quietly, the man was obviously waiting for her response.
Fisher quickly calmed down and turned around, his expression as calm as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Dr. Zhuo, I have a boyfriend. Do you understand that you are causing trouble for others by doing this?"
Zhuo Yilin: "You haven't confirmed your relationship yet, haven't you?"
"But I have already decided in my heart to agree to him."
Zhuo Yilin moved his lips, not knowing what he wanted to say, and finally fell silent again.
When Fisher saw his behavior, he felt resentful and could not calm down.
If he were more forceful and firmer, she would definitely not be able to hold on.
But his courage only lasted so long, and after being beaten back, he immediately died out.
There was silence between the two of them. Fisher waited patiently and hoped, but in the end... the man said nothing more.
"It's getting late. Your father is still sitting in the car. You should go back."
Leaving these words behind, she turned around and entered the gate without any hesitation this time.
Zhuo Yilin stood at the bottom of the steps, watching the woman enter the glass door, enter the elevator, and disappear, and the pain in his heart arose.
Clenching his fists, he lowered his head in despair. After a while, he turned around and slowly returned to the car.
Zhuo Yueluan witnessed all this.
Although I don’t know what they talked about, they are all people who have been there before. Who hasn’t been young?
"Yi Lin, you have already lost too much in your life. If you continue to get into trouble, you may lose even more."
He lost all his relatives in the earthquake when he was young.
If it hadn't been for the kind-hearted neighbor who sacrificed his life to save him, he would have been killed in the earthquake.
For so many years, he has tied himself to that kindness, taking great care of his neighbors and his family, and even tied his own destiny tightly to his benefactor.
Zhuo Yueluan tried to enlighten me several times, but he insisted on his own principles and finally let it go.
Hearing his father's words, Zhuo Yilin's face became even more painful.
After being silent for a while, he said: "I fought for it just now, but she said...she has decided to be with Lu Jiaming."
Zhuo Yueluan raised his eyebrows, "Then what? You just backed down?"
"..."
"You idiot!" Zhuo Yueluan was gentle and elegant, and rarely cursed, but now he couldn't help it. "I've been pursuing you for more than a year, but you haven't accepted it. Now that someone has rejected you once, you've given up."
?”
Zhuo Yilin felt a little aggrieved and glanced at the rearview mirror, "You didn't say that just now. Lu Jiaming is very good. He is a good match for her."
"..." Zhuo Yueluan was so angry that he moved in his seat with a speechless face, "You are really... you are such an idiot. Apart from studying medical skills and publishing papers, you are really..."
Zhuo Yilin understood that his father's words were deliberately said to stimulate him.
Really unable to find words to describe his son's "stupidity", Zhuo Yueluan sighed, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you. This is a living example for me. Missing it is a lifetime, and there is no place to express regrets. You don't cherish what you are seeing.
Man, you will regret it in the future too!"
————
the next day.
Fisher went to the company early in the morning, and Cherry came in with a bouquet of flowers.
"Miss Fei, who are you? After chasing me for so long, you still haven't agreed?"
Fisher looked at the bouquet of tulips, smiled, and commanded: "Find a vase and help me keep it. Just put it on the coffee table over there."
"Oh?" Cherry laughed ambiguously, moved closer and winked, "It seems like this is the time to get out of singles?" She had always discarded flowers like worn-out shoes before.
Fisher pushed her face away and said, "Eat less and work more!"
Watching his friend put the tulips in the vase and arrange them, Fisher stood up, took a photo, and then sent it to Lu Jiaming on WeChat.
"I received the flowers, thank you. Can we have dinner together tonight?"
This was the first time she responded positively to the flowers and even took the initiative to invite them.
Lu Jiaming immediately called back.
"Xiaoxue, I have plans tonight. I just joined Wanzhuo, and I am bringing my team with me. I plan to invite everyone to get together tonight."
When Fisher heard this, he quickly said: "That doesn't matter. You have more work and entertainment. We will make an appointment next time."
She originally wanted to speak clearly tonight, but it would be better to delay it this way, and she would think about it later.
But Lu Jiaming said: "Actually, I think you can come together and get to know my friends."
"Ah? This...isn't good. I'm not familiar with each other, and everyone will be a bit reserved." She thought that the relationship between the two of them was vague, so it would be too fast to integrate into each other's circle of friends.
But Lu Jiaming just wants to be so quick.
Especially when he noticed that Zhuo Yilin seemed to be competing with him, he became even more anxious.
When it comes to relationships between men and women, sometimes being teased together in public and causing a scene can add fuel to the flames.
He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to get rid of Fisher as soon as possible.
"It doesn't matter. Those people are very familiar with me. They usually bring their families to dinner."
Once this was said, it became even more ambiguous.
Obviously, he has already acquiesced that Fisher is his girlfriend.
And what about Fisher?
If she says she can't go, it means she is still hesitant about this relationship and has a wait-and-see attitude.
If she said yes, the two of them would basically be in a relationship.
So Fisher was hesitant.
Last night, she couldn't sleep, thinking seriously about her feelings for Zhuo Yilin, and also recalled her crush on Lu Jiaming in high school.
It was impossible to say that what Zhuo Yilin said last night did not move her heart at all.
But what she wants is not Zhuo Yilin's forced "regret".
What she wants is for this man to recognize her, look for her, and impress her with full sincerity, so that she will look back.
Otherwise, what would become of her?
A begging pet?
When people don't want you, they drive you away. When they want you, they say "I regret it" and you look back?
Fisher-Price is not that cheap.
And what about Lu Jiaming...
In terms of appearance, family background, and abilities, although he cannot be completely compared to Zhuo Yilin, but looking at Jiangcheng, he can be regarded as a decent young talent.
The most important thing is that this person is indeed the school girl whom she had a crazy crush on.
You don't have to mention whether you love each other or not. As long as two people have a good impression of each other and have common topics, they will naturally get along well and develop a relationship after being together for a long time.
After some comparisons, Fisher secretly made up his mind and said with a smile: "Okay then, you can send me the restaurant address."
"Well... I guess I'm going to have to drink tonight, so I'll pick you up in my car. After dinner, I'll call a driver and take you home first, and then I'll go back."
He thought that Fisher was a girl and it was not safe to ask for a driving service.
This consideration was also very thoughtful and meticulous, and Fisher took advantage of it and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
"Well, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Fisher couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a while, she picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to her best friend.
"Dear, I may have to confirm my relationship with Lu Jiaming."
Qianyu was at the company at the moment, and saw Lu Jiaming at the morning meeting. At this time, she was surprised when she received a WeChat message from her best friend, and asked quickly: "What's going on? He confessed to you?"
Fisher was too lazy to type, so he simply sent two voice messages and explained what had just happened.
Qianyu, who was sitting in the office, felt a little confused after hearing what her best friend said.
She always felt sorry for Brother Yi Lin.
But she can also understand her best friend's sadness, pain and entanglement.
After thinking about it, she also replied via voice: "Now that you've thought about it, just enjoy your relationship happily. Don't worry, if Lu Jiaming dares to bully you, I'm sorry, I won't let him go!"
After hearing what her best friend said, Fisher smiled.
In the evening, Lu Jiaming came to pick him up on time.
Fisher got in the car, looked at him and asked, "I just dress casually like this. Is there no problem?"
The man turned back to look at her. She was wearing an intellectual and elegant OL outfit, with a little makeup on her face, small and elegant jewelry, and her hair was tied into a low ponytail, which was clean and tidy.
"Of course it's no problem, it's very beautiful." After Lu Jiaming looked it over, he praised it generously, and then enlightened, "Don't worry, it's just a normal dinner party for colleagues, not a cocktail party. Don't be so formal."
"Oh, that's good."
When we arrived at the dining place, it was an open-air restaurant.
The rooftops of high-rise buildings are filled with various green plants and flowers, just like a hanging garden, and are decorated with neon colors everywhere. Each step leads to a scene, and the design style is very unique and bourgeois.
Fisher suddenly felt that this place was full of romance, just like the scene in the movie where people confess their love.
Fortunately, they were a large group of people together, not just two people eating alone.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you introduce this beauty?"
"So beautiful! Mr. Lu, is she your girlfriend?"
"No wonder Mr. Lu has always kept himself clean. It turns out that he is famous and has his own master."
Everyone was booing and joking, Lu Jiaming smiled, pulled Fisher to his side, and said frankly: "Fisher, a very excellent professional woman, is my high school girl, and the first old friend I contacted after returning to China.
"
Fisher listened to this introduction and blushed to the back of his ears: "Hello everyone, my name is Fisher, nice to meet you."
"Oh~ Junior sister, Junior sister, it sounds like there is a story!"
"Miss Fei, are you sure we are just seniors and junior students?"
Lu Jiaming pulled out the chair and let Fisher sit down like a gentleman, and then said generously: "I really want to get closer to you, and I'm still pursuing it."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became more excited.
Fisher couldn't sit still, his blood surged for a moment, and his face turned red as if on fire.
Lu Jiaming glanced at her and saw that she was extremely uncomfortable, so he quickly put on a serious face: "Okay, stop making trouble and order food quickly!"
"We've already ordered it. Let's see what Ms. Fei likes to eat and add more."
Fisher took the order menu and saw that they had enough dishes, so he pushed it back and said, "No, these are very good."
Lu Jiaming took the order menu, leaned over and whispered: "These people have strong tastes. If you can't get used to it, order something that suits your taste."
The two stood very close and talked in low voices, really feeling like a couple.
Fisher's heartbeat accelerated, and he didn't dare to look at the other person. He whispered: "These are really good. If you order too much, it will be a waste."
"All right."
The waiters served the dishes one after another, and everyone chatted while eating.
Talking about work, gossip, and social news, the team is generally very young, and when people in their twenties gather together, they are full of energy.
Fisher used to love to have fun, and she occupied the throne of the top girl in the nightclub for several years.
Maybe I have matured in the past two years, or maybe I am getting older? Gradually I don’t like to go out to have fun anymore. After work, I would rather stay at home watching TV series, doing yoga and the like.
Today, she got together with a group of enthusiastic young people, and the agitation factor in her body that had been calm for a long time became active again.
After a few glasses of wine, she only felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and a little swollen. Thinking of the painful experience of being drunk last time, she shook her head and said, "I can't drink anymore. I have very important work tomorrow, so I can't delay it."
Lu Jiaming didn't force himself and immediately removed the wine glass in front of her, "Okay, then you can eat more food."
When colleagues saw that their leader was so considerate towards girls, they inevitably made fun of him.
"Miss Fei, what's wrong with our Mr. Lu? Why don't you agree to him?"
"Yes, Miss Fei, our Mr. Lu is a real diamond king. He attracted the attention of many female employees when he first joined Wan Zhuo."
Fisher drank, and the wine made her emboldened. When she heard this, she smiled and looked at the man next to her: "Really? Is Mr. Lu so popular?"
The lights on the terrace changed, and Fisher's face also shone with light, especially his eyes, which were shining like stars.
Lu Jiaming looked at it and felt a little bit lost.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm here to work, not to make any mess."
A colleague said: "Ms. Fei, we, Mr. Lu, have a sense of belonging and will definitely be strict with themselves."
Fisher still smiled, "Stop making noises. It's not that I don't agree with you, Mr. Lu, but he never said it clearly."
"Oh oh oh~~" Everyone cheered and pointed the finger at Lu Jiaming, "Mr. Lu, did you hear that people blame you for not confessing your love? This is your fault. Why are you playing ambiguously? Adult love should be straightforward.
!”
Everyone shouted, "Confess! Confess! Confess!"
Fisher's whole body was in a mess, and he covered his face with his hands, ashamed to see others.
Lu Jiaming wanted to confirm the relationship between the two tonight. Now that things have developed to this point, he is just about to break the window paper. Of course, he must seize the opportunity quickly.
"Xiaoxue..." Amidst the cheers of the crowd, he turned to look at the girl beside him, took her arm and asked her to turn around.
Fisher was forced to put down his hand, feeling extremely confused. His eyes flickered at the other person, then dropped awkwardly and nervously.
"Xiaoxue, I have expressed my feelings a long time ago, but maybe I haven't said it thoroughly enough. Let me make it clear now. I like you. I had a crush on you in high school, but due to practical reasons, I didn't face it bravely. After returning to China
, the first time I saw you, I was sure that the throbbing was back again, and I don’t want to miss it again this time.”
He confessed affectionately: "Xiaoxue, I like you, please be my girlfriend!"
The crowd didn't even give Fisher time to react, so they clapped their hands and shouted together: "Promise! Promise! Promise!"
The surrounding diners were all looking forward to it, and extremely curious whether this confession would be successful.
The atmosphere has been pushed to this point, and there is no room for Fisher to refuse.
From the moment she agreed to come to this dinner party, she had already made her attitude clear.
Therefore, with her heart beating like thunder, her face on fire, and feeling on pins and needles, she didn't dare to look into Lu Jiaming's eyes and nodded randomly.
