President Ba’s Little Rose - Chapter 68
Lin Gui saw Shen Xizhi.
Perhaps it was a woman’s natural instinct, Lin Gui raised his eyes and looked in Shen Xizhi’s direction. On the other side, Qiao Zong’s gaze followed along.
Two pairs of eyes and four lines of sight all landed on Shen Xizhi.
At that moment, Shen Xizhi wanted to hide, and met her ex-boyfriend and the ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend. Anyone would feel embarrassed.
But Lin Gui first greeted her, and the girl waved at him, “Miss Shen, what a coincidence.”
With that said, the girl stepped on her little sandals and stepped through the crowd, blocking Shen Xizhi.
The two were about the same height. Lin Gui smiled and said, “I didn’t expect to meet Miss Shen here.” She glanced at Shen Xizhi’s dressing, “Is Miss Shen here to go shopping?”
Shen Xizhi is wearing a very simple T-shirt with small floral patterns in sky blue. The lower body is loose sweatpants, and the feet are simple canvas shoes. She wears all her long hair behind her head, without makeup, and is capable and energetic.
It is completely different from Lin Gui’s exquisite dress.
“Yeah.” Shen Xizhi nodded. She glanced at Qiao Zong, who was walking slowly towards this side, and thought about how to say goodbye: “It’s a bit late, I should go home, Miss Lin, next Let’s talk again when you have time.”
She really didn’t want to run into Qiao Zong.
…Or rather, I don’t want to meet Qiao Zong and Lin Gui together.
“Don’t,” Lin Gui said, “Miss Shen, Mr. Qiao is here too, you two are old acquaintances, shall we have a meal together?”
What kind of food does she have with them? Shen Xizhi raised his eyes, looked at the illuminated street lights, and the shops on both sides of the road, and finally retracted his gaze: “No, there is really something wrong.”
Just in time, Qiao Zong walked in front of him.
Although Joe was much taller than her, the long-looking man stopped in front of her and looked down at her without saying a word.
Shen Xizhi slightly widened his eyes and glared at him.
What to look at? Haven’t you met your ex-girlfriend? Or do you think your ex-girlfriend is more friendly than your current girlfriend? !
She is extremely rich in psychological activities, Qiao Zong didn’t know it, but asked her: “Should I send you off?”
“No need to.”
Shen Xizhi didn’t even want to blurt out.
Qiao Zong’s eyebrows were raised, and the words below were blocked by her categorical answer, so he had to say, “Are you anxious?”
Shen Xizhi: “Well, I’m very anxious, let’s go first, no see.”
She turned around and left after she said, Qiao Zong slowly said behind her: “Is something really wrong or something fake?”
Shen Xizhi had already walked out a few steps.
She steps quickly and eagerly, as if hiding from him.
“Or are you hiding from me?” Qiao Zong asked.
Shen Xizhi’s feet stopped. She… how could she hide from him? This, this is pure slander! It is to pour dirty water on innocent people!
She turned her back to him and said, “What do I hide from Mr. Joe.”
“Since you are not hiding from me, let’s have a supper together.” Qiao Zong said flatly.
This meal, it is uncomfortable to eat; if you don’t eat it, it seems that she is hiding from Qiao Zong.
Why is she hiding from him?
In Qiao Zong’s eyes, the reason is probably that she still has no feelings for him, right?
This is even more uncomfortable.
Shen Xizhi squinted his mind: “Okay.”
The supper was eaten at a barbecue stall by the river. It was a simple open-air table with roasted vegetables and meat on three plates. The smell of cumin and meat was scorched into the nostrils and hooked. The person’s index finger moved.
The small table is square, and Shen Xizhi and Qiao Zong are sitting opposite each other, with a beer bottle in their hands.
Shen Xizhi’s drinking volume was not good but not bad. She thought that since this supper had to be eaten, she would not speak, just concentrate on eating, and go home after eating.
So she lowered her head all the way, ate barbecue, and drank a sip of beer when her mouth was dry or spicy.
Lin Gui often gave Qiao Zong a barbecue. “The first time I saw Mr. Qiao, it was by the river. At that time Mr. Qiao leaned on the railing and was drinking alcohol alone. When he saw me, he seemed to have confessed to the wrong person and told me. A bunch of words.”
Lin Gui smiled, his eyes focused on Qiao Zong, but what he said seemed to be for Shen Xizhi.
Shen Xizhi’s movement of eating the barbecue slowed down, and even the sound of breathing was lightened.
“Later I followed Mr. Qiao.” Lin Gui said, with a sweet and happy tone: “Mr. is really a very good person. He has always treated me well.”
The barbecue skewers in Shen Xizhi’s hand fell from her hands to the ground with a click. It was a skewer of mutton, and she only ate a bite.
it’s a pity.
Just took a bite.
The kebabs on this barbecue stall are delicious.
Shen Xizhi took another string of mutton skewers on the plate in front of him, and then ate it.
She was eating with relish, but Qiao Zong didn’t look at it. But she didn’t know how to talk to Shen Xizhi, so she had to drink one mouthful at a time.
Does Shen Xizhi even care about Lin Gui’s words like this?
He thought of the little girl who was jealous even if he opened a button on the collar of his shirt. But now the little girl didn’t care about him at all.
After two years he died, Shen Xizhi would forget him cleanly.
Is this the ending he wants?
“Sir, you drink less wine, the wine hurts your body.” Lin Gui smiled and went to grab the wine bottle in Qiao Zong’s hand and discouraged: “Drink some juice, it’s refreshing and sweet.”
Qiao was noncommittal and let her go.
Lin Gui is gentle and considerate, completely different from Shen Xizhi, who is squeamish, temperamental and big-tempered. Qiao Zong is dying, his body is not as good as before, and he doesn’t have much energy to toss about.
Raising a woman who is three points similar to Shen Xizhi by his side is nothing more than a thought.
Therefore, in the past, he would not refuse Lin Gui’s kindness to him.
Lin Gui held the juice bottle and poured juice into his glass.
Qiao Zong watched the orange juice flow over the bottom of the cup, and the liquid level of the juice rose a little bit. He was in a daze, and when he raised his eyes again, he suddenly met Shen Xizhi’s eyes.
The girl was staring at him, as if she was angry.
Even though Qiao suddenly woke up, the drunkenness that had just flooded his head disappeared in an instant.
What was he thinking just now? How could Shen Xizhi see him and Lin Gui so close? How could Lin Gui pour him juice?
How sad the little girl should be when she saw it.
Without thinking about it, Qiao Zong said, “No need.”
But at this time the juice was already poured, and his words sounded more like talking to Lin Gui, telling her that the juice was enough, and there was no need to pour it.
Lin Gui smiled and said softly: “I see, sir.”
When she called the word “Mr.”, she was especially gentle, as if she could pinch water out. Shen Xizhi’s ears were soft, but her heart was astringent.
She even wanted to ask Qiao Zong if what you said that night was really true?
There was a layer of mist in the girl’s eyes. The mist was shallow and faint. She sniffed, resisting the soreness, and said with a smile: “Miss Lin, you and Mr. Qiao have a very good relationship.”
Lin Gui’s expression froze slightly.
Lin Gui and Qiao Zong don’t have any feelings, neither of them are considered ambiguous objects. How can one say whether the relationship is good or not?
It’s okay if someone says this sentence.
Qiao Zong always prides himself on being high-minded, and he also has three points of romantic behavior. He is too lazy to refute when he hears this. It is just a smile that makes people unable to guess his thoughts.
But if it’s Qiao Zong’s ex-girlfriend who said this…
Lin Gui was afraid that Qiao Zong would refute it.
She waited nervously, almost timing her heartbeat.
Three seconds later.
Qiao Zong laughed lightly, his words were calm, but with a smile that couldn’t be hidden: “Miss Shen, you have misunderstood, I don’t have that kind of relationship with her.”
“Huh?” Shen Xizhi was a little surprised.
Isn’t that kind of relationship? What kind of relationship is that? Are they not boyfriend and girlfriend?
Seeing the girl’s silly appearance, Qiao Zong felt in a great mood. Shen Xizhi will have emotional ups and downs because of Lin Gui, which proves that Shen Xizhi still has her in her heart, since she still has him in her heart…
Qiao Zong said: “I’m afraid Miss Shen doesn’t know yet, she’s single.”
Shen Xizhi:?
What’s the feeling of him rushing to sell himself?
Qiao Zong raised an eyebrow at her.
The night breeze blew for more than an hour, the barbecue was cold, and Shen Xizhi was half full. Except that she was seriously eating the barbecue, the other two had their own concerns, and the barbecue on the plate in front of them did not move much.
Qiao Zong put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes.
Shen Xizhi said, “Ms. Lin, I’m ready to eat, and I’ll go back first.” She glanced at Qiao Zong and said politely, “Mr. Qiao, please take care of it.”
Lin Gui wanted her to leave at the moment.
The lethality of Qiao Zong’s words that he was still single was invincible, and it smashed Lin Gui’s girl’s heart.
Qiao Zong is still single, so what is she?
She knew that she was Shen Xizhi’s stand-in, but the sense of existence of her stand-in in front of the Lord was too low?
Other people’s stand-in can be jealous, quarreling and arguing, but she is better off, and Qiao Zong takes the initiative to separate her from her.
Lin Gui was angry and ashamed. The act of pretending to be intimate with Qiao Zong in front of Shen Xizhi just now seemed to make her even more embarrassed.
“Okay.” Lin Gui agreed, “Miss Shen is careful on the way.”
Shen Xizhi nodded and stood up.
The opposite Qiao Zong probably drank wine, a little bit hot. The man raised his hand and pulled at the neckline. A row of skinny clavicles are exposed.
His skin was very pale, and Shen Xizhi didn’t know why, his eyes drifted away.
Then, in the dim light, she noticed that a very small character was engraved on the man’s collarbone. She has excellent eyesight, and in such a situation, she can recognize what it is.
One wood and one stone.
It is Shen Xizhi’s Zhi.
This small black print broke into her eyes so brightly and boldly.
Qiao Zong was tilting his head, his face was handsome, and there was a slight blush on his face. And the little black words on his collarbone looked like a curse and some kind of brand.
For example, a long time ago, the owner would engrave his own mark on the things he loves.
Qiao Zong engraved her name.
Shen Xizhi couldn’t restrain himself from coming up with many thoughts, shocked, moved, and affectionate. A lot of unclear distressed.
Such a person.
Why is her name engraved on her body?
The night wind was damp and cool, and Shen Xizhi stood by the table until her heels became sore. She blinked and heard herself say.
“Miss Lin, go back first, I’ll let my brother pick up Qiao Zong.”
“what?”
Lin Gui seemed to have heard something absurd.
Shen Xizhi: “My brother and Qiao Zong are good friends. Qiao Zong and I are old acquaintances, so I shouldn’t leave Qiao Zong to you anyway. What are you and Qiao Zong?”
“Mr. Joe is kind to me.” Lin Gui said softly and weakly: “I should take care of Mr. Joe.”
“But he doesn’t want to be taken care of by you.” Shen Xizhi was very overbearing: “Qiao Zong is my suitor. He has to do what I said he should do.”
