The decoration of this Sichuan restaurant is close to the Republic of China period, and it has a retro style.
Qiao Shi walked behind Li Lin, with a burgundy coat and wavy curly hair, and the person in front of him looked like a rich lady who came out of the Republic of China, who should be carefully cared for in her hands.
Li Lin picked a window seat, and outside, there was the bustling neon of this world, and the traffic was busy.
The waiter put the tablet on the table, and Qiao Shi pushed it in front of Li Lin: "What do you want to eat?"
Li Lin was also polite to Qiao Shize, ordered a few dishes he liked to eat, and asked him, "Do you add more?"
Qiao Shi shook his head: "No need, I'm not a picky eater." The
whole ordering process took no more than two minutes, and the waiter went down with the tablet, and then brought a pot of chrysanthemum tea.
Qiao Shi poured a cup for Li Lin, but Li Lin refused: "I can drink plain water, chrysanthemum tea is too bitter."
Thanks to Qiao's mother's edification, Qiao Shi can drink two sips of any tea, and said: "Chrysanthemum tea is good for the body, clear the fire and clear the eyes."
Li Lin still didn't accept it: "No, bitter, I don't drink it."
So Qiao Shi moved the cup of tea in front of him and poured a glass of white water for Li Lin: "Don't like to drink bitter? "
Not only do I not like to drink, but I also don't like to eat, I like sweet. Li Lin said.
Most little girls like to eat sweets, and Qiao Shi has always thought that a strong woman like Li Lin is an exception, but in fact, Li Lin is no different from other girls, but she is too powerful.
The dishes were prepared quickly, and several dishes were quickly served.
"The dishes for the two of you are ready, please use them slowly. "
Wait a minute. Qiao Shi called the waiter, "Add another dish of brown sugar glutinous rice cake." "
Yes, sir.
Li Lin grabbed the spicy chicken nuggets in her hand, remembered that she just said that she liked sweets, put down her chopsticks, pursed her lips unnaturally, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Give me something?"
Qiao Shi bowed his head and hummed lightly.
I don't know if it's Li Lin's delusion, she always feels that Qiao Shi has been fine for the past two days, and it's not normal.
As a lawyer, the eye of the heart is thinner than the eye of a needle, although Li Lin is also very confident in himself, but in the face of Qiao Shize, he still can't take it lightly.
Li Lin began to be unable to swallow, looking at a table of dishes moistened with red oil, she felt a little desolate at night, if she finished eating this meal, Qiao Shi would tell her: The studio is going bankrupt, I can help you do notarization for free.
And today I came to work in the studio, brought her milk tea cakes, and took her to play basketball, just because I sympathized with her.
"Uncomfortable? Qiao Shi saw that Li Lin's eating speed had slowed down and asked.
"It's fine. Li Lin said weakly, "I just don't know if I can eat such a meal in the future." Sichuan
cuisine is fragrant and spicy, and generally only people who can't eat spicy food don't eat it often, Qiao Shi thought of Li Lin's love for sweets, and said: "It's okay to eat once in a while."
"Eat once in a while? Li Lin was sad in her heart, "I can't even eat Sichuan food anymore?" Maybe
Li Lin's appearance was really pitiful, but the cold-hearted Qiao Shi rarely felt pity and comforted: "If you want to eat, I'll bring you in the future." This
sentence seems to have opened up Li Lin's second vein, and Qiao Shi is such a thick thigh!
"Qiao Lu, although I can't fight with a lawyer, as long as you are in need, I will definitely go to the soup and die!
Li Lin picked up her cool white and touched Qiao Shize's chrysanthemum tea: "This cup, I respect you!"
Qiao Shi didn't know why, but he still made a cup of tea, and watching Li Lin feast, he suddenly blessed his soul.
There are also other people who have said such things to Qiao Shize, but without exception, they are all to please Qiao Shize, but how could Li Lin want to please him?
Even if it does, there is only one possibility.
Li Lin likes him.
There is also a person whose second vein of Ren Du has been opened, and Qiao Shi can't even detect any resistance in his heart.
Whether it is facing other people's flattery or pursuit, Qiao Shi has always been indifferent, but in fact, he is irritable in his heart, and it is the first time that he has a feeling that he can't wait to stretch his thighs in front of Li Lin and hug her.
At this time, the waiter delivered the last dish of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
Qiao Shi picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake, put it on Li Lin's plate, and said softly, "Taste it."
Li Lin trembled in her heart, was she already good enough to personally serve her vegetables?
Studio, has it come to this?
Li Lin's eyes were hot, Jiang Qi believed in her so much, but she lived up to Jiang Qi's trust.
"I'm sorry. Li Lin stood up, covered her face and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."
Qiao Shi was observant, of course he noticed Li Lin's slightly choked voice, but he didn't expect that his small gesture could make Li Lin so moved, and he was very understanding: "You go."
Li Lin quickly went to the bathroom and sent a message to Jiang Qi.
[Sister, I'm sorry for you, something happened in the studio that I couldn't have predicted, and now it's in jeopardy.
When
this news was sent, Jiang Qi was facing the astronomical telescope, looking at the stars on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Behind him was a tent, Qiao Zhuyu was wrapped in a sleeping bag, only one head was exposed, and his eyes were grumbling: "There are so many stars, isn't two eyes enough to see?" Is it necessary to be a Erlang God?
Jiang Qi didn't look back, and looked at it intently: "Quiet, roaring dog."
Qiao Zhuyu: "......"
She didn't want to take care of Jiang Qi anymore, and planned to sleep directly, Jiang Qi's mobile phone in the tent lit up.
Jiang Qi is traveling during this time, and there will be no news from work to disturb him, so who will send him a message at such a late hour?
Jiang Qi didn't hide the password of her mobile phone, Qiao Zhuyu unlocked it directly, and found that the remark was Sister Lin.
She clicked on WeChat, and when she saw the news, her eyes widened.
"Erlang God, come here! We're running out of homes!
Jiang Qi was finally reluctant to turn back: "Could it be that Agarwood saved his mother and split the wrong place?"
The
angry Qiao Zhuyu picked up a boot and hit Jiang Qi's pouting buttocks: "Don't believe it anymore, I split you?!"
"Don't be angry, daughter-in-law. Jiang Qi moved to Qiao Zhuyu's side, "Wife, stick."
Qiao Zhuyu glared at him angrily: "Less disgusting."
Jiang Qi simply sat down and asked, "What happened?"
Qiao Zhuyu showed him the message on his mobile phone, Jiang Qi read it, hey"It must be that Sister Lin can't get used to me living the life she wants, so she deliberately sent a message to disturb me, don't pay attention."
"Really? Sister Lin doesn't look like she would joke about this kind of thing.
Jiang Qi waved his hand: "Let me tell you, even if Sister Lin says that she has found a boyfriend, she can't believe it, purely because she can't smell the sour smell of love between the two of us, just let the two of us converge and converge."
"Then how do you reply to Sister Lin now?" Qiao Zhuyu asked, "I've seen it all, and it's not good not to reply."
Jiang Qi clicked on the voice input: "Sister Lin, in the future, there is no need to notify this kind of trivial matter, just dissolve it in one step."
In the bathroom, Li Lin listened to the news three times and confirmed that Jiang Qi's tone was indifferent, indifferent, and lovely.
Li Lin couldn't wait to smash the phone: "This conscienceless thing!" "
Since Jiang Qi doesn't care anymore, what is she still worried about? Does it make sense?
Having said that, it seems to make sense, but Li Lin still can't really let go, after all, Li Lin has watched Jiang Qi come to this day step by step, and she has also experienced how much bitterness there is.
Cleaning up her mood, Li Lin silently thought in her heart not to kill, don't kill, and went out of the bathroom.
When she returned, she found that the dishes on the table had not been touched.
"Why don't you eat it?
"Are you alright? The
two of them spoke at the same time, stunned at the same time.
After a while, Li Lin said first: "I'm fine, continue to eat." It's
just that the atmosphere is no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning, Li Lin poked a piece of mapo tofu into soy milk with chopsticks.
"Qiao Lu," Li Lin suddenly said solemnly, "Is there something wrong in the studio?" Say it straight, I'll take it.
Qiao Shi stopped with chopsticks: "What can happen in the studio?"
Looking at Qiao Shize's dazed appearance, Li Linxin said that this acting skill is not bad, if he is an actor, he will definitely not be worse than Jiang Qi's finished thing.
Li Lin lowered her head, looked at the red oil soy milk in the bowl, and said sincerely: "Qiao Lu, you are so good."
"It's all trivial, it's not a big deal. Qiao Shi said.
"Nope. Li Lin raised his head and stared at Qiao Shize without blinking, "Qiao Lu, you are really a good person, even if the studio is going bankrupt, you are still so gentle to me, you didn't let this knife cut me down at once, so that I can still have a little hope."
The more Li Lin spoke, the more desolate it became, as if there was snow floating outside the window, the roof was leaking rain, and the cold wind was blowing, comparable to a white-haired girl.
Qiao Shi finally found out that something was wrong.
"You think I brought you to dinner because the studio was going bankrupt?
Li Lin shook her head: "You also bought me milk tea and cakes, and took me to watch you play basketball, how can it be summarized with only one meal?" Qiao Lu, I will definitely remember your kindness, the matter has come to this, I have nothing unacceptable, you just say it.
"Anything is acceptable? Qiao Shi confirmed it.
Li Lin learned from the pain and nodded vigorously.
"That's good. Qiao Shi said in a brisk tone, "You accept, do I pursue you?" "
The air was quiet for three minutes.
Li Lin: "What?
"I don't know how you judged that the studio was going to be finished, but I can tell you unequivocally that Jiang Qi's studio is working well and your management is excellent, so your worries are completely unnecessary.
Qiao Shi explained slowly, and at the same time changed a clean bowl for Li Lin and re-clamped a chopstick tofu for her.
"In addition, as for the fact that I am going to pursue you, I thought you should have noticed that helping you bring food and take you to play basketball are all very trivial things in my pursuit of you, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Good to you, don't worry about it. Qiao
Shi is worthy of being a lawyer, speaking in a clear and hierarchical manner, and even Li Lin's current pasty head can hear it clearly.
But she still couldn't figure it out.
"Pursue me? Why?
"Pursue you because I like you, but like you, no why. Qiao Shi said firmly.
But the likes are not traceless.
For example, from the very beginning of his understanding to the gradual understanding, he discovered that Li Lin still has a side that others can't see.
The heels are sticky with gum sticking to the soles, but they are clumsy that they can't reach.
Punch hard at the stalker-hard ex-manager, and be extra tolerant of college students who work part-time at the café.
is obviously a girl who needs to be loved, but she has been sheltering others from the wind and rain.
These Qiao Shi all saw in their eyes, Li Lin was a very different girl.
The closer he got to her, the more he saw, and Qiao Shi put down the unfinished projects of his office and moved here, just to see how many surprises Li Lin still had.
Li Lin didn't give an answer right away.
Because she was confused.
Since graduating from college, no one has confessed to her.
How many times has love come to the front, but Li Lin's loud voice has yelled back.
But Li Lin will not change his personality for this, and he has never hidden it, and Qiao Shi has seen a lot of wine.
But love is still coming!
Qiao Shi didn't ask Li Lin to give an answer, because it was his business to pursue her.
After eating, Qiao Shi sent Li Lin home, speechless all the way, Li Lin is such a person who is not afraid of embarrassment, he doesn't know what to say at the moment.
The car was parked downstairs, and Li Lin said while unbuckling her seat belt: "Today, thank you Qiao Lu." "
You're welcome. Qiao Shi said, also unbuckled his seat belt, pulled the car door, and got out of the car with Li Lin.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Li Lin asked, "Is there anything else to Qiao Lu?"
"You're here, don't you want me to go up and sit down?" "
Huh?
"Isn't it convenient? Still not welcomeI? The
big hat was buttoned down, and Li Lin hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "I'm not, I don't, I'm welcome."
Qiao Shi was satisfied, took the lead in raising his legs, and entered the building.
Li Lin was in place, messy in the wind, she patted her head in annoyance: "I'm not usually stupid, why is he running away at this time?" "
The floor of Li Lin's house is not high, just on the second floor, when renting a house, she asked not to climb the building, although there is an elevator in this building, but the elevator is not guaranteed to run every day, so Li Lin simply lives at the bottom.
At the door of the house, Li Lin took out the key to open the door, and just turned on the lights at home, which was a mess.
The living room was turned into a mess, everything was staggered, and the drawers were turned upside down.
Li Lin was stunned at the door of the house, not daring to go inside, there was only one thought in her heart: "Jiang Qi has been here?"
Qiao Shi blocked her behind, walked in first, looked around, and said, "It's not Jiang Qi who came, it's a thief."
"Thief! Li Lin's eyes widened, "Where did the thieves come from so boldly, they all stole from me!"
Qiao Shi walked around the room and made sure that there was no one else in it before he said, "You go and see if there are any valuables missing, and I will call my colleagues in the law firm and ask them to notify the police to come and see the scene of the crime."
Li Lin nodded hurriedly and ran into her bedroom with her high heels.
After a while, Li Lin's cry came from the bedroom: "This group of people who kill a thousand knives!" The old lady has worked so hard to save up the jewelry for so long, and she doesn't keep any of them!
Qiao Shi finished explaining things to his colleagues in the living room, and also walked into Li Lin's room: "Lost a lot of valuables?
"I don't have much cash at home, only three or four thousand, but I have so much jewelry! Those are all limited editions of major brands, and they have no price in the market, and they can't be bought! Li Lin sat on the ground, holding her empty jewelry box, miserable and miserable.
"You make an estimate of these things and tell the police that this is already a burglary, and the amount of money involved is very large, enough for the thief to be sentenced for several more years. Qiao Shi comforted, "I'll take you to the mall tomorrow, and if you see something, you can buy it again."
Li Lin rubbed her eyes with tears: "Then what should I do now?"
"It's already in chaos like this, and there's no guarantee that the thieves won't return, so it's definitely not going to be able to live here." "
Then I'll go out and stay in a hotel now. Li Lin said and took out her mobile phone and began to book a hotel for herself.
Qiao Shi took down her mobile phone and persuaded: "Your mental condition is unstable now, and I don't feel at ease staying in a hotel."
"Is that going to be on the streets?" Li Lin became more and more grief-stricken.
"No, I'm here. Qiao Shi said, "You pack a few clothes and go to my house tonight, I have more rooms there." "
Go to your house, it's not appropriate......"
"This is the most suitable." Qiao Shi turned around and went out after speaking, "You clean up first, the police will come over immediately, I'll explain the matter briefly, and we'll leave later."
An hour later, the police and colleagues from the law firm came to the door, learned the facts, and assured Qiao Shize and Li Lin that the thief would be caught.
After everything was processed, Li Lin also packed her suitcase, Qiao Shi took her away, the car turned around downstairs, and galloped all the way to another high-end community.
"It's close to the law firm, I'm usually the only one who lives, your room has a bathroom, what else is missing can tell me, there are disposable ones at home, have a good rest tonight, leave the matter to me, you don't have to think about it."
Qiao Shi said while taking Li Lin upstairs that his family lived on the top floor, and when the elevator went up, Li Lin suddenly said: "I knew that I also lived on the top floor, so that the thief would not touch the door."
"It's good that people are fine, those jewelry or something, there will be again." Qiao Shi said, "I'll see you tomorrow when I get up."
Li Lin didn't have much hope, it was all Jiang Qi's endorsement, in exchange for selling her hue, she didn't want to live up to Qiao Shize's kindness, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Well, thank you tonight, Qiao Lu." The
elevator stopped on the top floor, Qiao Shi and Li Lin went out one after another, and when they took the key to open the door, Qiao Shi was keenly aware that something was wrong.
When he left, the door was obviously locked, why did the key open after a turn?
It's impossible for a meticulous barrister Joe to forget to lock the door, so, who's inside?
Seeing Qiao Shi stop moving, Li Lin also became nervous, and the hand holding the suitcase began to sweat.
"What's wrong? You can't prevent thieves from the top floor, right?
Qiao Shi remained silent: "You stand behind me."
Li Lin was busy obedient and hid her whole body behind Qiao Shize.
Qiao Shi slammed open the door, but the situation inside was not as chaotic as he imagined, the living room was still as clean as ever, and there were seven sets of health programs in the center on the TV, and the two of them sat on the sofa and watched with relish, and they didn't even notice that he opened the door.
It was Qiao's father and Qiao's mother who came, Qiao Shi let out a sigh, and his tense muscles relaxed, and he just wanted to tell Li Lin that it was okay, but Li Lin couldn't help it anymore.
"How? Was it also a thief?
"No, don't worry, there are no thieves, come out." Qiao's
father and Qiao's mother, who were watching TV, finally heard something wrong, and looked at the door together, just in time to see a woman poking her head out sneakily from behind Qiao Shize.
"Qiao Shize, who is this? Mother Qiao narrowed her eyes and asked.
Before Qiao Shi could speak, Li Lin stood beside him as if he had been pushed out, and stammered: "That, uncle and aunt, hello, I, I am Li Lin."
For Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, Li Lin saw a photo of their family in Jiang Qi's circle of friends more than once, and she was certainly familiar with it.
It's just that Qiao Shi didn't say that he was the only one living here?
In the middle of the night, I brought a strange woman to my house and pulled my suitcase, how wrong is this!
Li Lin now wants to carry her suitcase overnight to buy a station ticket and escape.
It's so embarrassing!
Finding Li Lin's nervousness, Qiao Shi took the initiative to say: "This is my very good friend, something happened to her family, so she will live with me today." With that
, Qiao Shi had already carried Li Lin's luggage into the house.
Qiao's mother had sharp eyes: "Very good friend? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? "
Auntie, that's right, I'm Jiang Qi's agent, and I have a job with Qiao LuIt is a good cooperative relationship. Li Lin explained apprehensively.
"It turned out to be Xiao Jiang's agent. Qiao's mother showed a clear expression and asked with concern, "What's going on at home?"
"The security at home was not in place, and the thief was allowed to enter, but Qiao Lu kindly helped me deal with it and let me stay here for the night. Li Lin said.
"Are you okay then? Qiao's mother showed pity, "Money is a trivial matter, don't get hurt, let Qiao Shi do these things, he is professional."
Qiao Shi waited on the side, he was afraid that Qiao's mother would keep asking, and said, "Okay, it's so late, people still have to rest."
Qiao's mother looked at him with disgust: "Xiaolin didn't say anything, why do you still dislike me as an old woman?"
Li Lin also said: "It's okay, I'm very happy to talk to my aunt a few more words."
Qiao's mother smiled: "It's so late, have you eaten, there are still dumplings in the refrigerator, I'll go cook some dumplings for you."
"Don't be so troublesome, I've eaten, Auntie, I'm going to eat with Qiao Lu tonight." Li Lin hurriedly stopped her.
"Oh. Qiao's mother lengthened her voice, "You two eat together."
"Then what are you doing together today? Qiao's mother asked again.
"Just, let's go to work together, have a meal or something. Li Lin said.
"Really? Qiao's mother obviously didn't believe it, "He's a person, he doesn't even go to socialize, others ask him to go out for drinks and dinners or something, and he may not be able to go once ten times."
Li Lin was speechless, and Qiao Shi was also anxious, pulling Li Lin away, and at the same time did not forget to say: "The health program said, the elderly can't stay up late, you can go to sleep with my dad quickly."
Qiao's mother was not happy: "What's wrong with me talking to Xiao Lin more, one by one, I don't want to talk to my old woman more." When
she turned around and saw Qiao's father who was still watching TV, she picked up the remote control and turned off the TV: "What to watch, stay up late so late, hurry up and go to bed!"
Qiao's father was learning about the benefits of fishing for his body, and he couldn't see it at once, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, and said: "My son is also older, and people finally brought a girl back, and I want to be alone with others.
"Wow old Joe, even you dislike me now, don't you? Mother Qiao crossed her waist with her hands.
"How can I dislike you, let them deal with their young people's affairs, let's turn off the lights and go."
Qiao's father coaxed Qiao's mother back to the bedroom, and the house suddenly quieted down.
In the living room just now, the voice of the second elder was not low, and Qiao Shi and Li Lin could hear it clearly in the guest bedroom.
"My parents sometimes come to stay with me for a while, but this time they didn't greet me in advance, you don't have to worry, you should be busy, otherwise they will feel constrained. Qiao Shi explained.
"I know, I hear Jiang Qi often mention that uncles and aunts are very good people. Li Lin said.
"Then I won't bother you, you can rest, my room is next door, what's the matter, you call me at any time, I'm here."
"Well, okay.
When
Qiao Shi left, he specially helped her close the door.
At the moment before the door was about to close, Li Lin suddenly said, "Qiao Lu!
Qiao Shi stopped, waiting for Li Lin's next words: "I've told you thank you too many times today, and finally I want to tell you ......"
Li Lin hesitated, and in just a dozen seconds of hesitation, Qiao Shize's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Qiao Shize, who has been smooth sailing since he was a child, has not had such a tense moment in his thirty years of life.
"I want to say, Qiao Lu," Li Lin smiled in a serious tone, "good night."
Qiao Shi relaxed and replied, "Good night, see you tomorrow." The
door closed completely, and Li Lin opened her box and packed her things.
The room here has the smell of Qiao Shize, Li Lin inexplicably felt relieved, and her fingers lingered among the soft clothes.
This feeling of having someone to rely on seems to have been experienced for a long time.
Just after coming out of the shower, Li Lin was wearing thin pajamas, her hair had not been dried, and there was a knock on the door.
She went over to open the door, and outside the door was Qiao Shize, still holding a glass of milk in his hand.
"Drink before you go to sleep.
"Okay. Li Lin took the milk, and it was still warm.
Seeing the clothes Li Lin was wearing, Qiao Shi frowned slightly: "Wear more, it will be cold."
