C779 A Misunderstanding
Zhang Muye was worried Cao Ying would think so. Yes.
"I will definitely not let Chu Chu down."
Only then did Cao Ying nod her head in satisfaction. "I believe in your promise, but I still thank you for playing with me for so long today."
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Cao Ying closed the game and said, "Zhang Muye, let's go back to school."
It was late to go back. The school's dormitory door had to be closed. She could not possibly go to a hotel with Zhang Muye, right?
Zhang Muye nodded, closed the game, and paid the bill. Then, he left the internet cafe with Cao Ying.
Since it was winter, it was already 9 PM. It was very quiet outside, and there were very few pedestrians on the bustling pedestrian street. Only couples who rented houses outside the school were still barbecuing at the barbecue stall.
Zhang Muye suggested, "Cao Ying, why don't we have some supper."
Cao Ying hesitated for a moment but still nodded. "Okay."
Cao Ying had been taught a good lesson since she was young, so she was quite far away from these roadside stalls. However, she felt that Zhang Muye rarely accompanied her, so she agreed.
The appearance of a beautiful girl like Cao Ying immediately caused a commotion in the quiet barbeque stall. The boys would look over from time to time and cause the surrounding girls to be dissatisfied.
Many girls even had hostile gazes towards Cao Ying and then twisted the ears of their boyfriends, telling them not to look at Cao Ying again.
Zhang Muye could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Cao Ying's beauty was enough to arouse the jealousy and vigilance of all the girls. Just one more look from the boys and the jealousy in the surroundings was spilled.
The two of them sat down. The enthusiastic boss came over to ask them what they wanted. Zhang Muye looked at Cao Ying with an inquiring gaze. Cao Ying only asked for some vegetables. Zhang Muye, on the other hand, randomly ordered a large pile of meat. While they were serving the food, Zhang Muye and Cao Ying started chatting.
As they chatted, Zhang Muye finally had enough energy and changed the topic to the topic he wanted to talk about.
"Cao Ying, the watch you are wearing is quite similar to the one I gave you before."
She said it was quite similar. He did not say "is it my watch" because he wanted to show that he was just casually asking. He didn't mean anything else.
Under the light, Cao Ying could clearly be seen being slightly stunned. However, the light was dim, and he could not see the expression on Cao Ying's face at the moment. However, Zhang Muye still saw Cao Ying's hand. Lala's sleeve hid for a while, but very quickly. Cao Ying felt that this was not appropriate and simply rolled up her sleeve generously. She revealed the watch inside and blinked her eyes and said, "Is it this piece?"
"Yes!" Zhang Muye nodded and said, "It is the one I gave you last time on your birthday. It's the same model."
Zhang Muye bought this watch with his own hands and had a very good memory, so he was naturally convinced.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ying shook her head slightly, accompanied by disappointment in Zhang Muye's heart. She smiled faintly and said, "Maybe you are mistaken. I bought this watch a few months ago. When I just returned to school, I lost my watch. So I went to the pedestrian street to buy it that day. Maybe this watch is from the same shop as the watch you bought for me! "
So that's how it is. Zhang Muye laughed self-deprecatingly. At the same time, a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart. He thought to himself, I really think too much. From Cao Ying's tone, perhaps she had already forgotten what kind of gift he gave her for her birthday. After all, his present at that time was really too cheap.
Moreover, there were many such watches on the street. It could not be excluded that Cao Ying had lost her watch and was in a temporary emergency. At that time, he had bought the watch according to Cao Ying's preferences. It was very natural for Cao Ying to buy the watch herself.
"That should be my mistake." Zhang Muye smiled lightly and said frankly, "But the watch that I bought for you at that time was indeed the same model as this one. I didn't expect that you would also buy this type. It seems that our eyes will occasionally resonate with each other. "
However, Zhang Muye muttered in his heart again. How many months had it been before it became so old? Cao Ying didn't lie to him, right? But he was too embarrassed to ask. Otherwise, with Cao Ying's intelligence, she could instantly guess that he was deeply in love with her.
Cao Ying nodded her head and said softly, "Yes, but this watch is indeed very pretty."
Zhang Muye laughed and said, "That's right. When I walked into the pedestrian street, I saw this watch. It seems that we thought of the same thing."
After a pause, Zhang Muye said again: "Speaking of this, I have to apologize to you. I gave you such a cheap gift for your birthday."
Cao Ying also remembered everything that happened on her birthday back then. Her soft eyes were slightly hazy as she softly said, "It's not your fault. I was really grateful that you helped me buy a gift with all your money." And then... Then, he remembered that Wang Qiuqiu had suddenly barged in with his mother. Cao Ying couldn't help but smile when she saw the dramatic scene.
To be honest, Cao Ying had never blamed Zhang Muye. She liked anything Zhang Muye gave her. Not all girls liked to use money to measure everything.
Zhang Muye nodded and the two of them laughed together. The matter of his past birthday was over with a smile.2
All the thoughts that had been bothering Zhang Muye the entire night had been settled. It turned out that it was not what he had imagined. Cao Ying secretly liked him. The watch in his hand was bought by her at the last minute. Even Zhang Muye had once bought a gift for Cao Ying. Cao Ying probably did not remember it anymore, right? In that case, she had felt it countless times in the past. That kind of faint feeling Cao Ying had for him had now proved that it was just an illusion.
Fortunately, Zhang Muye did not hold too much hope for this. Otherwise, he would not know how disappointed he would be at this moment.
The night gradually deepened. However, he discovered that the business of this barbecue stall was exceptionally good. Many men and women sat down to order their dishes.
Most of the people who sat down were men. Their eyes occasionally glanced at Cao Ying's seat. However, Cao Ying had long gotten used to this and turned a blind eye to it.
"Hey! Do you know? I opened a bar outside, and my annual sales reached over a million. My net profit is about a few hundred thousand! "
"What's that? My friend, I heard that he opened a company outside. The yearly sales are over ten million, and his profits are also huge. It seems to be over a million, right? Most importantly, he's only a graduate student. "
" Humph! You know Li Qiang's cousin from our class next door, right? I am his cousin's sworn brother. His company is really huge. I heard that he is going to be listed on the entrepreneurship board. His net worth is at least tens of millions. Right. He also asked me to be a senior executive in his company, but I have a bigger dream. He rejected it!"
" Hey! What does that count as? My aunt's friend, I'll just call him uncle. He's the real deal... "
" My aunt's neighbor's son's cousin is the real deal. He drove a Mercedes-Benz at such a young age, and he's even a fourth-year student... "
He bragged about all kinds of things and didn't forget to look at Cao Ying when he bragged about it. He hoped that Cao Ying would see him in a different light. Zhang Muye could not help but smile bitterly when he heard that.
