Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9011 Gentleman behaves (5)

Xiao seemed not to have expected that he would take the initiative to ask her. She said quickly: "The injury is healed, but he is still a little timid and afraid of strangers. Mr. Xiao reminded me that I will buy cat food for him when I go back later."

"Since the person who met you has a share, I will pass by the pet store later and I will buy one for it as a token of my appreciation."

"Then thank you, Mr. Xiao, I'm not welcome."

"You don't have to be polite, it's not for you, it's for Huahua."

"..."

After chatting casually for a few words, Xiao Mingzhang walked back to the experimental equipment and reagent area.

When she wasn't talking, Xiao Mingzhang flipped through the reports, and Xiao seemed to deal with her experiments and homework alone.

There are many professional books on her desk, each of which has her careful notes.

When no one spoke, the laboratory was quiet, and Xiao Xiang could even hear his own breathing.

Wearing gloves, she carefully handled the experimental reagents and watched the series of chemical reactions on the operating table intently.

At some point, Xiao Mingzhang walked behind her and looked at her experiment seriously and intently.

After a long time, the experiment was over and Xiao seemed to take off his gloves.

Only then did she realize that Xiao Mingzhang was standing behind her, with a solemn and focused expression.

She said while handling the test bench: "I thought Mr. Xiao was gone."

He leaned against the table behind him, raised his wrist, and glanced at his watch: "Five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Is it five o'clock? I plan to go back. Where is Mr. Xiao?"

"We agreed to buy cat food for Huahua."

"Oh, yes." Xiao seemed to have almost forgotten, "Let's go together then. Can I treat Mr. Xiao to dinner?"

"Row."

To Xiao's surprise, he didn't refuse.

She thought he wouldn't respond.

Xiao Si thought for a long time and took him to a small restaurant near the university. The restaurant was small and the price was not high, but the taste was very good, no less than the one he took her to last time.

Xiao Mingzhang, wearing a coat, was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Xiao Sisi deliberately chose a quiet location to the side, for fear that he wouldn't be used to it.

"Mr. Xiao, actually the taste of this store is quite good, but the environment... is a bit ordinary. If you are not used to it, we..."

"Very good." He said calmly, "That's it."

"Okay, then Mr. Xiao, let's order some dishes. I recommend these to you, they are particularly delicious."

She pointed at the menu with a familiarity and a smile on her face.

Usually, they like to come here when the dormitory has dinner.

It’s very cold in Xuanzhou at night, and there are bright lights outside the university town.

It has been half a year since Xiao Sisi graduated, and when he comes back here again, he still feels a sense of familiarity.

While waiting for the food, she looked at the street outside the restaurant, a block full of ginkgo trees, and dense ginkgo trees guarding the entire area.

"Mr. Xiao, look at that area to the south. There is a flower market. It is very lively every day. There are all kinds of flowers. I used to like to buy flowers. Now that I have graduated, I still like to go there. I can pick whatever I want for ten yuan."

"The one on the left is the school bell tower. It is my favorite building. It is said to be more than a hundred years old."

"And that banyan tree. Banyan trees cannot be grown in Xuanzhou's climate. I heard that this is the only banyan tree in Xuanzhou City that is over thirty years old."

"The school is very crowded with students in the evening, and it is very lively at midnight, with many young couples."

"How do you know what happened at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?" he suddenly asked.

"I..." Xiao Sisi rubbed his forehead, and it was easy for him to slip up accidentally, "I used to work part-time for more than twelve o'clock, and I didn't come back until two or three o'clock at the latest."

"If it's so late, I'm afraid the school won't allow you to enter, right?"

"The security guards recognize me, just beg them." Xiao Xi smiled, "They all know that I have a part-time job, so sometimes they will be extra tolerant."

"Are you short of money?"

"You have to rely on yourself to earn living expenses." Xiao Xi didn't say anything more and lowered his eyelashes slightly.

She remained silent, playing with the cup in her hand and looking at the lemon slices in the cup.

She and Xiao Mingzhang were from two different worlds after all, and he might not be able to understand that.

Xiao Mingzhang stared at her for a long time with his sharp and deep eyes.

The light in the restaurant is bright, and under the slightly porcelain white light, the portrait looks a little pale.

The lively little girl just now became silent again. She lowered her head and played with the cup, occasionally taking a sip of lemonade.

Lemonade is a bit sour.

The waiter delivered the dishes, which were steaming hot and full of flavor.

"Eat more." He picked up the chopsticks, "Don't treat yourself too badly."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

"No need to thank me, this meal is yours."

"..."

The moon gradually climbed up.

Not long after, Xiao seemed to talk more and more. She told Xiao Mingzhang a lot of interesting things while studying.

Xiao Mingzhang was not as aloof as she imagined, and he was very easy to get along with in many cases.

"I see that you have put a lot of professional books in the laboratory, some of which are in pure English." Xiao Mingzhang said calmly.

"I bought it casually, and I occasionally open it to look at it."

"Really?" He said noncommittally, eating the food, "I thought you wanted to further your studies."

As if something had been poked into his mind, Xiao Xiang seemed silent and pretended not to hear.

"I plan to go to Liangshan again next week."

"Mr. Xiao, the temperature will drop next week and the roads on the mountain will be difficult to drive."

"It's not a big problem. I drove it last time and the road conditions are already very familiar."

"Then Mr. Xiao...do you want me to lead the way?"

He picked a piece of fish fillet, his face was calm, his eyes were calm, and after a long time he said slowly: "That's okay."

also?

Xiao seemed to figure it out, maybe he meant to allow her to go with him?

"It's cold on the mountain, Mr. Xiao remember to wear more clothes. What is Mr. Xiao going to do on the mountain this time?"

"Same as last time."

"Oh, then I will bring my notebook and serve as Mr. Xiao's guide and secretary."

"You can arrange it." He smiled lightly and said nothing more.

Xiao Sisi's cell phone suddenly rang, it was Ling Fei calling.

She answered the phone: "Ling Fei."

"Sisi, are you back? I heard you were on a business trip."

On business trip? Why didn't Xiao Sisi know that he was on a business trip?

She was confused for a long time and asked: "Ling Fei, what's the matter?"

"No... nothing happened. It's just Saturday today. I originally planned to... give you a surprise. I know you like to work overtime on Saturdays, so I went to Xiao's first. I didn't expect to meet your boss in the parking lot downstairs. Oh , Mr. Xiao, the Crown Prince of the Xiao family. Mr. Xiao was quite enthusiastic. He asked me who I was looking for, and I told him that I was looking for you. But he said that you were on a business trip, and I... I was a little disappointed, so I had to leave with the flowers in my arms. "

"Actually... Xisi, I prepared very beautiful roses for you today, but it's a pity that I can't give them to you. I'm afraid the flowers will have withered by the time you come back from your business trip."

Ling Fei was shy and sincere, speaking hesitantly.

This is the first time that he chases a girl with all his heart.

He tried getting close to Xiao Sisi, but she worked very hard and he rarely saw her.

"Sisi, in fact... you should have known my feelings for a long time. I like you. I originally mustered up the courage today, but it seems to be an unfortunate coincidence."
