Enchanted (GL)

Chapter 33

There is a small restaurant outside Q University. The shop is simple and simple. There is a lonely incandescent lamp outside the door. When the wind blows, it shakes in the night. The inside of the restaurant is also simple and shabby, and its appearance is not good. But because Beilin cuisine is authentic and tastes good, it is the most popular restaurant near Q.

Ji Xi’s graduation dinner is scheduled here. Speaking of which, this was the first time she came back after moving out of school.

Earlier everyone said that they would have a small gathering and invite the tutor to have a meal. But after graduating, each has his own busy schedule, and it’s not easy to get together.

Most of those who can come here today stay and work in Beilin. Not many people came. A few people sat around a table, an old professor with a small beard, and the rest were graduate students.

Ji Xi is the only girl present here. A little red in the ten thousand green clusters, there is a national treasure.

Clinking glasses and drinking, very casual, not formal, just a peaceful chat. The atmosphere is good.

“I will retire next year. I don’t plan to take students anymore. You are my closed disciples. Young people, please work hard, don’t smash my sign.” The old professor spoke with a local accent in Beilin, with great interest tonight Well, his face was flushed with drinking, and the old man looked a little cute without the seriousness of the past. He sipped his wine and continued to mutter, “You must be able to endure hardships and calm down in this business, you know. You boys are too impetuous, so you have to learn from Xiao Ji… ”

Thinking that it might be the last time I listened, the old professor talked about it, and everyone didn’t feel annoyed. All listened humbly.

Ji Xi will always remember who treats her well. The old professor has taken care of her for the past three years, so tonight I watched the old professor happy, and Ji Xi also drank a lot of wine with him.

Ji Xi looked like a weak and weak girl, but the amount of alcohol was not worse than that of the people present. This time it really opened everyone’s eyes.

I kept chatting with the professor until around nine o’clock, the food was almost clean, and the wine was almost drunk. Ji Xi looked at an unread text message on the desktop phone, and she picked it up casually.

From Lu Feng: Are you busy? Check out my WeChat.

Ji Xi’s brows frowned, and he said before, don’t disturb, why is it here again. She put down the phone and ignored it.

After two or three minutes, Lu Feng called directly, and the phone buzzed on the table, attracting everyone’s attention.

Ji Xi didn’t want to pick it up, but slowly, after saying sorry to others, she picked up her phone and got up, walked out of the noisy restaurant, and stood on the side of the road to get the connection.

“Are you busy?” Lu Feng asked.

“Busy. What’s the matter?” Ji Xi asked patiently, expecting that Lu Feng would have nothing to do with her.

After drinking, Ji Xi’s cheeks became hot and reddish. Now it is very hot outside, like a sauna. People can’t stay for too long.

“That’s…” Lu Feng spoke for a while, and said, “President Qiao is in a bad mood today. If you have time, you can accompany her to comfort her.”

Ji Xi listened to the phone, in the clouds and mist, how could Lu Feng know that Qiao Zhiyu was in a bad mood? What does he call to say what this means?

“Why are you telling me this?”

“I said I want to help you chase President Qiao. She should need someone to accompany you now. You seize the opportunity.” After saying that, Lu Feng scratched his hair, feeling strange, how could he lick the dog like this? When I think about it, I think it’s helping a friend, the beauty of an adult.

Ji Xi: “…”

On the other side of the phone, Lu Feng was full of vitality and said: “Don’t give up, don’t chase and see how you know, you have a chance…”

After hanging up the dumb phone call, Ji Xi looked down at the oblique shadow on the ground, and all she thought was dizzy. Why is she in a bad mood today?

In time, feasting.

Qiao Zhiyu sat at the bar with his elbows on the table, drinking silently to pass the time.

The mood is pretty bad.

Tonight, she accompanied Qiao Qing back to Qiao’s house. It was supposed to be good for dinner at Qiao’s house, but the family was sitting on the dining table. Qiao Zhiyu thought about it, but suddenly put down the tableware and said that he had to leave first. Make the atmosphere a little stiff.

Qiao Zhiyu didn’t like eating at Qiao’s house, which was an annoyance. The more happy the Qiao family is, the more she feels embarrassed and redundant.

Hers is indeed a superfluous person.

Qiao Zhiyu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and drank several more glasses of wine. Drunk is getting stronger.

Turning on the phone, she saw a few birthday wishes. Yao Ran, who was traveling abroad, sent her a note, and Xu Sheng, who had not contacted for a long time, also posted:

“Well, happy birthday, if you want me to accompany you, call me”

Today she is 30th birthday, but no one in Qiao’s family remembers her birthday, not even the simplest happy birthday. Not to mention helping her celebrate.

Qiao’s dinner tonight is very warm and lively, but everything has nothing to do with her.

Qiao Zhiyu didn’t know what her true birthday was. The so-called birthday was based on the day when she was taken into Qiao’s house. Before, when Qiao Zhiying was still there, he would help her.

In fact, birthdays are nothing, but the feeling of being completely ignored at home is really bad.

I was wrong, Qiao’s family is not her home at all.

She has no home.

Qiao Zhiyu held his head and stared at the news from Xu Sheng, but naturally did not reply to Xu Sheng.

Tonight seems to be an English song special. The resident singer held the microphone and sang several songs in a row.

Qiao Zhiyu raised his head, and the bartender beside him was skillfully shaking the Snow Kettle. She was also a young girl, thin and tall.

But not as good as Ji Xi.

Qiao Zhiyu was a little startled, how could he think of her again.

I remembered the last time when the two of them sat here quietly listening to music, and that night they went to the square and lay on the grass to watch the stars…

Qiao Zhiyu pursed her lips and smiled, thinking about something more. After looking at the wine glass for a moment, she picked up the phone and couldn’t help sending Ji Xi a WeChat.

Waiting for the other party to reply again.

When Ji Xi received Qiao Zhiyu’s WeChat account, the old professor was still talking on the wine table, talking about his youth and frivolous things. Excited.

President Qiao: “Are you free now? Would you please drink?”

Just now when Lu Feng told her that Qiao Zhiyu was in a bad mood tonight, Ji Xi thought about whether to send a message to ask. Maybe she is really not good at taking the initiative to care for others. Even though she was worried, she still didn’t ask.

Now, after seeing Qiao Zhiyu’s initiative to send her WeChat, Ji Xi almost didn’t hesitate, and replied: “I’m free.”

Drinking is an excuse. If you are in a bad mood and want to talk to someone, it’s true.

Qiao Zhiyu was drunk and watched Ji Xihui’s “free time”, she raised her lips and smiled lazily. It seems that tonight can be boring. She wrote in the dialog: “I am in time, you come here, I am waiting for you.”

Ji Xi left early. She did not drink less, and the soles of her feet were a little light. After she walked out of the small restaurant, she took a taxi down the street. The school is not far from time, and the starting price will add a few dollars.

In less than twenty minutes, Ji Xi approached the noisy bar. She wanted to send a message to Qiao Zhiyu that she had arrived, but she had already seen a familiar figure in a familiar corner.

Qiao Zhiyu sat alone in the position where she often mixes drinks. Ji Xi didn’t know when it started. She and Qiao Zhiyu were so familiar, as long as she saw each other’s back, she would be able to recognize it.

Ji Xi approached and found that Qiao Zhiyu had already drunk a lot of wine. It should have been a long time.

“Here.” Qiao Zhiyu smiled at Ji Xi, “I’ll treat you what you want.”

Ji Xi sat down beside Qiao Zhiyu, watching her like this, “Are you drunk?”

Qiao Zhiyu turned his head and looked at Ji Xi’s face, staring straight, “Not drunk.”

Ji Xi also stared at her: “Drink less.”

“Excuse me.” At this time, a man who thought he was very handsome came forward. The goal was mainly on Qiao Zhiyu, showing a pretty confident smile, and then throwing out vulgar accosts: “You are so beautiful, I Can I buy you a glass of wine?”

With a mature temperament and a great body, Qiao Zhiyu has a somewhat charming appearance after drinking, which is indeed a favorite of many men. It’s easy to evoke a heartbeat, the kind of heartbeat that itchy.

“Please me?” Qiao Zhiyu turned sideways slightly, his eyes fell on the man in front of him with disdain, and at the same time he smiled disdainfully. She was quite disgusted with this kind of accosting, too frivolous, just like the previous misunderstanding that Ji Xi wanted to accost her, she just went back unceremoniously.

Qiao Zhiyu smiled like this, and the man felt that his bones were crunching, and he became more enthusiastic: “Yes, can I give you some face?”

Ji Xi watched as Qiao Zhiyu smiled and listened to the strange man’s approach, thinking that she must have been drinking too much tonight.

The singer sang a very ambiguous English song, like a background music perfect for flirting.

Qiao Zhiyu smiled and looked at Ji Xi again. After a two-second pause, Ji Xi didn’t understand what Qiao Zhiyu’s eyes meant, but after that, her hanging hand was held by Qiao Zhiyu. It was still like that…

Ten fingers clasped tightly.

Two white and slender hands were entangled in a slightly ambiguous manner, closely intimacy.

When Ji Xi’s hand was held by Qiao Zhiyu, he was defenseless. She held it very tightly, her palms were very hot.

“Understood?” Qiao Zhiyu took Ji Xi’s hand and asked the man in full aura.

The man was at a loss when he saw two women holding hands in front of him suddenly, so what does this mean? He smiled and asked: “What…”

Qiao Zhiyu raised his head and explained, “I have a girlfriend.”

Ji Xi wouldn’t be overly surprised by anything, but when she heard Qiao Zhiyu say these words, her heart beat faster for no reason. Her eyes widened a bit, looking at Qiao Zhiyu’s beautiful profile face, she thought, President Qiao must be drunk tonight, and very drunk.

“Then…that’s bothering you.” This was unprepared. The man looked at the two beautiful women in front of him, and he couldn’t speak clearly. “I wish you happiness, a good match, a good match.”

After saying that the two match up well, the man left in a hurry.

Qiao Zhiyu looked funny at the man’s reaction, red lips curled up, and smiled happily. When she looked back at Ji Xi, her eyes softened visibly.

The two of them were still holding their hands together, and the next second, they released them again. I don’t know who released it first, maybe they released it at the same time. There is still some remaining warmth in the palm of his hand.

“Why do you say that?” It was so ambiguous just now, as if it were true, Ji Xi immediately found something and diverted his attention.

Qiao Zhiyu’s cheeks were dyed pink, and in turn asked Ji Xi: “You used me as a shield that day, and I didn’t say you, why, can’t I use you as a shield today?”

Thinking of this, there is really nothing to say. Ji Xi smiled helplessly and gave Qiao Zhiyu an affirmative answer: “Yes.”

Being addicted to acting, Qiao Zhiyu’s eyes hadn’t come out of the ambiguity, she looked at Ji Xi with a smile, “Then accompany your girlfriend for a drink at the bar.”
