After Xie Langxuan hung up the phone, he looked at the stack of documents on the table and smiled happily. It was worth the time he had spent working overtime these two days.
He took the keys and went downstairs to get his car.
At this moment, Ji An'an hung up the phone and put down the bowl, putting away the leftovers on the table.
Seeing that she had not eaten much, Bei Yiyuan walked over with Shuibao in his arms and disagreed, "Your appetite is getting smaller and smaller, yet you only have this little to eat? "Don't learn to lose weight. You're almost as thin as a bean sprout."
Ji An'an was speechless. She waited for him to finish before she explained, "I've invited someone to dinner, so it's not polite to eat too much. Besides, who said that I'm too stingy? What kind of eyes do you have?!"
So he had misunderstood. However, after thinking for a while, his eyes lit up with the flame of gossip, "I remember that you don't have any friends here, then who did you make an appointment with?"
Ji An'an felt that it was a waste of talent for him not to do an entertainment for her. "My boss, last time, owed him a meal. I'll make up for it this time."
Bei Yiyuan's eyes lit up when he thought of this person, "So it's him! Not bad, not bad, since you have taken a fancy to our Bei Family Princess, consider him with good eyes, do you need me to act as the driver and send you there? "
"What nonsense are you talking about? He and I are just friends, that's all." Ji An'an looked at the time, "He'll come pick me up in an hour, you don't have to be so kind."
Bei Yiyuan was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, he chuckled and said, "Then I wish you guys a good time."
Looking at his face full of the gratification of my sister growing up, Ji An'an really wanted to wipe his face with the cloth in her hand.
Ji An'an packed her things and went back to her room to change.
Bei Yiyuan looked down and saw Shuibao's wrinkled face in his arms. Thinking about how Shuibao could not resist the matter about finding his new father, he smiled and teased him, "Why are you frowning? You won't be able to stay with your mommy for the rest of your life, someone has to walk with her, right? "
Shuibao pouted. He couldn't accompany her, but there was still Daddy! Why do you need others!?
Ji An'an kissed her son on the way out before taking her leave.
Shuibao watched her back as she hugged his phone worriedly. Should he tell Daddy that Mommy was going to be taken away?
Ji An'an got on the car and apologized to Xie Langxuan, "Have you been waiting for long?"
"I just arrived too." Xie Langxuan replied with a smile.
"Then what do you want to eat today? "Choose a place, I'll pay the bill." Ji An'an asked as she fastened her seat belt.
"Since you said so, then I'll do as you say. There's a place I've always wanted to eat …" He said this with some hesitation.
Before she could finish her sentence, Ji An'an laughed and said, "Then we might as well go for broke. Anyway, I brought enough money with me, so I'm not afraid of you eating your fill."
Xie Langxuan smiled gently, "You are too empathetic."
"There's no other way. Kindness is my virtue." Ji An'an tilted her head and smiled.
He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the smile on her face, unlike the depressed expression she had in the room that day.
He knew that she no longer had the reason for their previous estrangement, but rather she felt guilty about the sudden departure from the table the previous two times.
But so what? Being able to get close to her was a huge boost to him.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped on an old street.
Ji An'an got off the car and felt that the scene before her eyes was a bit familiar. In the streets and alleyways, there were people selling Liangpi, strung incense and rolling pins …
People came and went, and there was an endless stream of people in front of the shop.
Xie Langxuan walked to her side and stood there. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he sighed in his heart. It's been so many years, she probably can't remember anymore.
At this moment, Ji An'an suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed, "If I remember correctly, there's a wonton shop on the left side of the street. It's very authentic and delicious!"
The smile in Xie Langxuan's eyes widened, "You sure have a good memory."
Ji An'an was flattered, but felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and asked, "You mean that you've been here before?"
Xie Langxuan met her confused eyes, and his gaze softened a little, "Yes, I came to A City eight years ago."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that we would eat at the same restaurant. It's not easy to find one here." Ji An'an didn't take it to heart as she turned her head to look at the old street with nostalgia.
However, Xie Langxuan's gaze did not leave her. He smiled. He didn't find this shop, but followed her back in the past.
They walked into the alley side by side, looking for the old wonton shop.
"Were you on a trip or were you in the office? "But you were young then." Ji An'an was afraid that the two of them would be left in an awkward situation, so she didn't try to find any words to say.
Xie Langxuan could feel her restraint and pretended not to notice it as he slowly opened his mouth.
"At that time, I was in my sophomore year. My parents came to A City on a business trip, and there was an accident along the way. I only came when I received the news."
Ji An'an was stunned. "Then your parents?"
Xie Langxuan said in a low voice, "My dad died in a desperate attempt to save him, and my mom fainted for a month. The hospital sent out a few medical notifications, but fortunately, the rescue was successful."
Hearing the sorrow in his voice, Ji An'an hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you. I reminded you of the past."
Xie Langxuan shook his head when he heard this, so many years have passed and I've already walked out. "He paused for a moment, and then looked at her with a gentle light in his eyes," But back then, I suffered the pain of losing my father and was also faced with the situation where my mother could leave at any time.
Ji An'an thought he was talking about the white robed angel, who was also one of the hospital's medical staff. She couldn't help but ask, "Did she save your mother?"
Xie Langxuan shook his head, "She saved me and pulled me back from the cliff. It was her smile that gave me the power to be strong."
she asked. "Have you ever thanked anyone?"
"No, I missed her. I was looking for a chance to meet her, but she's already gone. "
"What a pity." Ji An'an lamented.
Xie Langxuan thought in his heart, yes, it's a pity, but now he found her again, could it be a kind of fate?
"No wonder you came here to eat. There are many hospitals nearby, and they are the most famous hospitals in A City."
The two of them had already found a shop and entered, ordering two bowls of wontons.
When he found there was no vinegar on the table, Xie Langxuan told the boss to bring a bottle.
Ji An'an asked with a smile, "Do you like vinegar?"
Xie Langxuan smiled without saying a word.
The restaurant's movement was very fast. Soon, wontons were brought over.
Ji An'an poured vinegar into the soup skillfully.
This scene appeared many times in his memory. Every time he followed her here, he would see her do this.
Even after all these years, he still hadn't forgotten her habit.
It was the only thing he knew about her.
He looked at the girl in front of him who was blowing a spoon of hot air into her mouth and eating the wonton.2
He had also missed her for so many years, all for the sake of meeting her again today?
