The call was from Ying. She asked me to have dinner together.
Ying was my only friend in Hai City now, the only one who would help me. Since she invited me, of course I would attend.
The bus during the rush hour ran slowly like a turtle. In the bus, there were many people surrounding me, squeezing side by side. In this case, there was no need to hold the armrest or worry about falling down.
Finally arriving at the station, I broke through the crowd and got off, finding myself sweating badly.
In the restaurant, Ying beckoned to me from afar. Dressed in a black skirt on the snow-white skin, she was the most beautiful scenery here with long hair covering her shoulders, whose delicate facial features were exuding extraordinary temperament.
I sighed that the genes of the Hua family were really good. Evil Leon looked handsome like a male model, while Ying was so beautiful like a super female model.
“Please sit down. Why are you sweating?” Ying asked with concern.
It was embarrassing to say that it was caused by crowded bus. So I said with a smile that it was too hot outside.
“So, have you eliminated the threat Nan Lin poses to you?” Ying asked with a smile.
“Sister Ying, the word ‘eliminate’ is too serious. I have never thought of fighting with her unless she provokes me.” I said.
“No matter who provokes, you both like one man. Fight is inevitable. Moreover, it is a zero-sum game, no win-win. There must be one of you to lose. It is a foregone conclusion.” Ying said.
“We don’t like the same man.” I argued.
Ying smiled meaningfully, “You don’t like Leon? It’s impossible. He is always popular with girls. Any girl close to him is bound to like him. Believe me, He must be much more beautiful than many girls once he put on women’s clothes. ”
I couldn’t help asking myself whether I like Leon or not. Finally I found no answer. Or maybe I just didn’t want to admit it even if there was an answer indeed. After all, admitting liking someone who not only had hurt me before but also still loved another one, seemed to be baseness.
So even if I liked him, I would not admit it.
But Ying didn’t give up and said, staring at me, “Don’t you really like Leon?”
I had to denied, “There’s no love in our marriage. He doesn’t like me, vice versa.”
“Don’t say whether he likes you or not. I’m asking you, do you like him?” Ying seemed to insist on the bottom of the matter.
To end this embarrassing topic, I gritted my teeth and shook my head, “I don’t.”
“I don’t need your love at all. Don’t be self-righteous.”
Suddenly a cold and disdainful voice came from back. I turned round to find Leon behind me with a cold expression.
So embarrassing…
I happened to sit here with my back to the door, causing my insensible to him. While Ying knew it and kept asking me questions, it turned out to be a ‘trap’.
“Why are you eavesdropping on our talks?” I blushed and said awkwardly.
Leon stretched out his hand to take a chair and sat down, “So why are you talking behind my back? Besides, I was standing behind you without hiding. It’s your fault to ignore me. Do you think it is eavesdropping? ”
“I didn’t!” I argued, “How can I see you at that time? Listening to others’ talk without permission is surely eavesdropping!”
Beside us, Ying had burst into laughter, “Leon, don’t think every girl will like you for your look good. Look, here is one who doesn’t like you.”
Leon snorted coldly, “I don’t care. It’s an insult to me to be loved by a rustic woman.”
I talked back instinctively, “Could you please mind your words, gentleman? Rustic woman? Are you getting angry and retaliating now because I don’t like you?”
“Retaliating? Don’t overestimate yourself …”
“Stop, stop. It’s all my fault. I’m just joking. Don’t quarrel any longer. Come on. Let’s order the dishes.” Ying immediately stopped our quarrel.
Leon snorted coldly and stood up, “I have no appetite looking at her. I don’t want to stay here.”
I had also been very angry recently and wanted to dissed again. But for Ying’s sake, I suppressed my anger.
“Sit!” Ying snapped.
In spite of Leon’s arrogance, once facing Ying shouting at him, he sat down at once obediently though reluctantly.
Ying handed him a tablet to order dishes, “You are an adult. What a shame to get angry easily!”
Leon took the tablet and tapped on it. After that, it was handed back to Ying, and then to me again.
To my surprise, I found my favorite food braised tofu and shredded potatoes had been ordered. It’s rare that we had the same taste.
After ordering a cold dish, I handed the tablet back to Ying.
Ying looked at the menu and said, “Did Leon order the braised tofu? Aren’t you disgusting tofu the most? It seems that your taste has changed.”
“Nothing better. So I ordered a vegetable dish at random.” Leon said lightly.
I glanced at him covertly to find he was still keeping a long face.
I often ate braised tofu at home. He must know that. I couldn’t help speculating brazenly that he ordered it for me. But thinking carefully, I knew it was impossible.
“Well, are you saving money for me ordering such daily dishes? I’m a meat-lover. A good meal is essential! I’d like to order a giant lobster first.” Ying said.
At this time, Leon’s mobile rang. After answering the phone, he went out. Soon he came in, holding a handsome little boy in a suit. The little boy ran to me, “Mommy!”
Leon had asked the driver to send Alex over! I missed Alex very much. I was feeling so touched and hugged Alex tightly.
“Alex, come here. Call aunt.” Leon said.
Alex stared at Ying with his big black eyes and called her aunt cleverly.
Ying was instantly overjoyed, “Oh, sweet heart! My nephew is so lovely. Oh, I haven’t prepared a gift. You should have told me that earlier.”
Ying fumbled with her bag, only to find some items for making up.
Finally, she found out a bracelet and looked at it for a while. Though hesitant, she still handed it to Alex, “Honey, I didn’t prepare well. Take this.”
I couldn’t help laughing. The bracelet seemed useless for a little boy.
Alex didn’t take it but looked at me for my permission.
“Hyacinthine Bracelet?” Leon asked. Judging from his solemn expression, the bracelet seemed to be very important.
