Chapter 48
Chapter 48
After Shen Mian finished speaking, Xie Qiaoyu's attention completely deviated from the movie.
Staring at Shen Mian's side face, Xie Qiaoyu asked, "Did you go shopping in the mall today?"
"That's right, and sister Jingyi also helped me..." I picked out the gifts I bought for my family.
It wasn't until Shen Mian finished talking that he realized that if he continued, he would expose the matter of buying gifts, so he quickly fell silent.
Afterwards, Shen Mian just turned his head and glanced at Xie Qiaoyu, then quickly looked away, for fear of being asked by Xie Qiaoyu what he was doing in the mall.
The guilty Shen Mian didn't know that her current appearance was completely deceiving her ears.
The blue and white light emitted from the screen shone on Shen Mian's face, flickering on and off.
Xie Qiaoyu uncontrollably replayed the second half of Shen Mian's unspoken sentence in her mind.
What did Ye Jingyi do for her?Malls... do you want to buy something?Is it really just a simple shopping?
Seeing Shen Mian's face full of gratitude... Xie Qiaoyu uncontrollably remembered the hug at the school gate...
Reason told Xie Qiaoyu that the hug was just a normal behavior among friends, but after seeing Shen Mian mentioning the smile in Ye Jingyi's eyes, Xie Qiaoyu's last line of defense was disintegrated, and an inexplicable panic rose in her heart.
Listening to the voices of the anime characters in the movie, Xie Qiaoyu reached out and grabbed Shen Mian's arm resting on the armrest, and whispered, "Xiao Mian."
When Shen Mian was grabbed by Xie Qiaoyu's arm, she thought that Xie Qiaoyu was going to ask her what she did in the mall, so she panicked unconsciously.
Then Shen Mian pretended to be watching the movie seriously, and replied without turning her head, "Yes."
Seeing that Shen Mian didn't even look at her, Xie Qiaoyu yelled again.
"Xiao Mian..." This time, Xie Qiaoyu's voice had a lingering ending, as if bewitching Shen Mian to turn his head.
Shen Mian took a deep breath and wanted to continue looking at the screen, but in the end she couldn't help looking to the side and asked, "Why... um..."
As soon as Shen Mian turned her head, her lips were sealed.
Shen Mian widened her eyes slightly, looking at the smooth forehead of the person close at hand, feeling the softness of her mouth, Shen Mian realized that she was kissed by Xie Qiaoyu.
In a daze, after Shen Mian heard the noise from the movie, she realized that the two of them were still in the movie theater. After she reacted, Shen Mian hurriedly pushed Xie Qiaoyu away from her.
When Shen Mian pushed her away, Xie Qiaoyu's heart twitched suddenly.
But in the next second, she saw the little girl with her head shrunk and looking around. Seeing that no one noticed them, she gently pinched Xie Qiaoyu's fingers and whispered, "I will be seen."
Feeling the strength on the back of his hand, Xie Qiaoyu's sourness was driven away.
"fine."
So what if it was seen?Xie Qiaoyu is eager to tell the whole world that Shen Mian belongs to her, and belongs to her alone.
Xie Qiaoyu's voice rang in Shen Mian's ears, feeling the numbness in his ears, Shen Mian subconsciously looked towards the back row, only to see that the two people in the back row had already hugged each other.
Seeing that Xie Qiaoyu was also looking at the people in the back row, Shen Mian quickly reached out to cover Xie Qiaoyu's eyes and said, "Do not look at evil."
In the huge cinema hall, Shen Mian was probably the only one who came to watch the movie.
Xie Qiaoyu took away Shen Mian's hand that was covering her eyes, and slowly approached Shen Mian with a smile on her lips.
When the tips of their noses were about to touch each other, Shen Mian licked her lips and said in a sticky voice, "There are cameras in the cinema..."
Xie Qiao said in a hoarse voice, "It's not important."
After finishing speaking, Xie Qiaoyu closed his eyes and held Shen Mian's lips.
The previous kisses between the two were shallow because of Shen Mian's shyness, and the two never had a deeper kiss.
Shen Mian thought it would be enough to peck twice as usual this time, but she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes and was about to 'evacuate', Xie Qiaoyu held the back of her head...
Between lips and teeth, Shen Mian had already forgotten where she was.
"... "
After leaving the theater, the two walked towards the parking lot side by side. Xie Qiaoyu pulled Shen Mian, turned his head and saw Shen Mian blushing, and poked it with one hand. Xie Qiaoyu couldn't help laughing because of the warmth.
"Shy?"
Shen Mian took Xie Qiaoyu's arm, raised her head and said, "No."
Xie Qiaoyu rubbed the top of Shen Mian's head, and said softly: "It's so late, shall I take you home?"
Shen Mian shook her head: "No need, I came by car."
Xie Qiaoyu is used to it, and every time she proposes to send Shen Mian home, she will be rejected. She knows that Shen Mian is not ready to introduce Shen Mian to the Shen family as a girlfriend.
But Xie Qiaoyu was not in a hurry, no matter how long Shen Mian would prepare, she was willing to wait.
And Xie Qiaoyu would not worry that Shen Mian would be afraid of their relationship, because she came out in front of the old man just to give Shen Mian enough sense of security.
Xie Qiaoyu nodded, "Be careful when driving."
Shen Mian smiled and said you too.
For several days, Shen Mian pretended not to know Xie Qiaoyu's birthday, and chatted as usual.But every time the news was sent out, she was afraid that Xie Qiaoyu would notice something was wrong with her.
But Shen Mian thought too much, Xie Qiaoyu simply forgot her birthday.
These days, besides work, Xie Qiaoyu always thinks about Shen Mian's blushing and...the hug between Shen Mian and Ye Jingyi.
After being with Shen Mian, Xie Qiaoyu became worried about gains and losses, and wanted to relieve her mood. Xie Qiaoyu didn't go home after get off work, but went to the bar.
Ji Jie looked at the person who hadn't been here for a long time, and asked with a smile, "Why are you free to come to my place today?"
Xie Qiaoyu said lightly, "I want to drink."
Ji Jie raised his eyebrows, looked at Xie Qiaoyu and asked, "What would you like to drink? The same?"
Xie Qiaoyu hummed.
After taking out the wine again, Ji Jie said to Xie Qiaoyu to wait for me for a while, then turned around and left the counter.
After coming back again, Ji Jie took out a small box from his arms, pushed it in front of Xie Qiaoyu and said, "Happy birthday, I didn't expect you to come tonight. I wanted to find a time for you tomorrow."
Xie Qiaoyu looked at the gift box and was slightly taken aback.
Seeing this, Ji Jie laughed and said, "No way? I forgot that today is my birthday."
"En." Xie Qiaoyu picked up the box and raised it, "Thanks."
Just as Ji Jie was about to answer, another waiter in the bar called him away, saying that there was a disturbance from a customer.
After saying something to Xie Qiaoyu, Ji Jie followed the waiter and left.
Ji Jie thought that Xie Qiaoyu hadn't been to the bar for a long time to relax this time, but when he came back and looked at the empty wine bottle in front of Xie Qiaoyu, he realized something was wrong.
Holding down Xie Qiaoyu who wanted to continue drinking, Ji Jie frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Xie Qiaoyu, who was stopped, glanced sideways at Ji Jie, who was obviously drunk.
But Xie Qiaoyu didn't say a word, just continued to pour wine into his mouth.
After the action was stopped by Ji Jie again, Xie Qiaoyu looked at Ji Jie and asked with red eyes, "Do you think... I am interesting?"
Ji Jie was dumbfounded by the question.What is the problem?
While Ji Jie was in a daze, Xie Qiaoyu drank another glass of wine.
When he was about to drink another glass, Ji Jie snatched the glass away. When Xie Qiaoyu reached out to snatch it, Ji Jie asked in a low voice, "Are you drunk?"
Xie Qiaoyu chuckled when she heard it: "It's not like you don't know my drinking capacity, how could I get drunk?"
Ji Jie: "If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk."
Xie Qiaoyu snatched the wine glass, raised his head and drank another glass, pointed at Ji Jie with his hand around the wine glass and asked suspiciously: "Ji Jie? When did you become so polite?"
"...I've always been like this."
Xie Qiaoyu frowned: "Really? It seems that I don't know you well enough."
There was a wry smile on Ji Jie's mouth, and he said in his heart: I'm afraid you have never understood me.
"What time is it?" Xie Qiaoyu asked.
Ji Jie glanced at his watch: "It's half past ten."
Xie Qiaoyu tapped his head, got up from the chair and bid farewell to Ji Jie, "I have to go home."
"I send you?"
Xie Qiao subconsciously imitated someone: "No need, I came by car."
"..." Previously, he just suspected that Xie Qiaoyu was drunk, but now Ji Jie was sure that Xie Qiaoyu was really drunk.
In the end, Xie Qiaoyu was sent home by Ji Jie.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xie Qiaoyu's cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting Ji Jie's action of opening the door, and the door was pulled open from the inside in the next second.
Ji Jie looked up, and was relatively speechless with the people in the room.
Today is Xie Qiaoyu's birthday, Shen Mian arrived at Xie Qiaoyu's house early and waited, in order to surprise Xie Qiaoyu who came home from get off work.
But Shen Mian still sent a text message to Xie Qiaoyu, asking if she worked overtime.After seeing Xie Qiaoyu's reply that he would not work overtime, Shen Mian quietly laid on the sofa and played with his mobile phone after decorating the room with peace of mind, paying attention to the movement outside the door from time to time.
Waiting, waiting, Shen Mian accidentally fell asleep.
It was already midnight when she opened her eyes again, Shen Mian was still a little dazed when she first opened her eyes, but when she saw what time it was, she suddenly woke up.
Xie Qiaoyu hasn't come home yet.
Shen Mian picked up the mobile phone to call Xie Qiaoyu, and walked out the door. Shen Mian thought that Xie Qiaoyu should still be in the hospital, and she was going to the hospital to find Xie Qiaoyu.
But Shen Mian didn't expect to see Ji Jie and the drunken Xie Qiaoyu when he opened the door.
Ji Jie was the first to speak: "Why are you at Qiao Yu's house?"
Shen Mian didn't pay attention to Ji Jie, but looked at the person who was carried behind Ji Jie and smelled like alcohol, and asked with a frown, "How much wine did she drink?"
Ji Jie thought about it for a while, "A few bottles."
How many bottles of wine can drink like this?I'm afraid that the alcohol's alcohol content and stamina are too high.
Seeing that Ji Jie was a little uncomfortable after speaking, Shen Mian turned sideways to make way for her: "...Come in first."
Ji Jie hummed, followed Shen Mian to the sofa, and after putting Xie Qiaoyu down, Ji Jie hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I don't know what's wrong with her, I thought she was here to relax and have a few drinks, but I didn't expect to drink when I came to the bar, and she was so drunk after I found out."
Shen Mian looked at Ji Jie, wondering what Ji Jie meant by saying this to her.
Ji Jie met Shen Mian's gaze, and he didn't know why he said this to Shen Mian, but a voice in his heart told him that Shen Mian could heal Xie Qiaoyu.
After a while, Ji Jie still expressed his thoughts: "When she wakes up tomorrow, why don't you enlighten her?"
Shen Mian: "I see."
Ji Jie glanced at Xie Qiaoyu's side face, stood up after a while, looked at Shen Mian who was squatting beside Xie Qiaoyu, and said, "Since you are here, take good care of her, and I will go first."
Shen Mian got up quickly, and said to Ji Jie: "Well, thank you for sending her back, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Ji Jie felt something was wrong when he heard this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Before leaving, Ji Jie took a deep look at Xie Qiaoyu, and after seeing the furnished living room and Shen Mian with a worried face out of the corner of his vision, he suddenly understood something, and also understood what was wrong with it.
The tone of Shen Mian's speech just now was clearly like a family member expressing gratitude to outsiders.
