the moon is not as good as you

Chapter 8
"Are you using Xuyue as a shield again?" Before Lin Xuyue could speak, Lu Li couldn't listen, "I didn't even ask the person if he wanted to."

Jiang Ningyu knew she was wrong, and said haha, "I thought I blocked you all."

Lu Li snorted softly, "I thought it was your conscience that found out, and I sincerely wish you well."

"How can blessings be insincere?" Jiang Ningyu vaguely felt that the topic was going off track, but she still defended herself sternly, "I still remember his birthday, so I'm not sincere?"

Maybe she couldn't listen anymore, Lin Xuyue finally interrupted them, "The colleague you helped carry the bag?"

The sentence without beginning or end was addressed to her. Jiang Ningyu was surprised for a moment, and then said with emotion, "You are always so good at guessing."

But he said, "But I don't get it right every time."

She lowered her head and brushed her long hair to one side, "Well, he said you played football together."

"Gushe's intern, I seem to know who you're talking about." Lu Li answered, "I played against your company a few times when there were not enough people. The intern seems to be called Chen Che, right? He played very well. Yes." After a pause, he corrected his rhetoric, "It's considered a good game in your company."

Jiang Ningyu pressed her forehead, not wanting to continue the topic, so she said instead, "Coincidentally, I thought you were still in CICC, but I didn't expect you to be in the building next door."

"This area is lively now, and it's close to where we live," Lu Li said.

"You live near the company too?"

"Weird?"

Not surprising, just outrageously coincidental.

Jiang Ningyu has to admit that sometimes fate is like dominoes, people who are never met in eight lifetimes, as long as they are slightly knocked down by coincidence, anything can happen.

If you don't look up and see you when you look down in the future, it's not a problem to be so embarrassing.Jiang Ningyu patted her thigh and asked them, "I know a very good bar, how about I invite you today?"

Regarding her sudden generosity, Lu Li didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the phone with two simple words.

"address."

What Jiang Ningyu took them to was a small clean bar with a petty bourgeois and clean style.Located in the alley section of the city center, there is no prominent logo or slogan.The lights outside the store are very dim, and people who pass by in a hurry can hardly notice it, but those who notice it will think that it is not open inside, and there is a dark atmosphere under the lights.

When getting out of the car, Lin Xuyue raised her arm to give her a hand, but kept a social distance without any further care.

But that's enough.If he was too enthusiastic, Jiang Ningyu would find it strange.

Today, there are only two people in the store, the boss and the bartender.Seeing Jiang Ningyu, the boss smiled and waved, "Here we come."

The owner of this bar is forty years old, an elegant and slender Kochi woman.I worked in Oracle in the early years, and after being laid off, I returned to China and opened such a low-key Xiaoqing Bar, joking about "retiring early".Most of the customers who come here are brought by acquaintances.There are not many passengers, and the privacy is very high.

Jiang Ningyu was also introduced by the people in the group, but when she was bored by herself, she would come to have a drink and chat with the boss.She brought someone with her today, so instead of going to sit at the bar, she greeted the boss and went upstairs.

However, the process of going upstairs is a little troublesome.She didn't dare to put the weight on her right foot, so she could only jump up the stairs one by one.But the stairs are very narrow and have a slope. When she jumped to the fifth level, she didn't step on her left foot firmly and almost fell forward.Fortunately, Lin Xuyue, who was following behind, had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her waist and helped her stabilize.

After a false alarm, Jiang Ningyu patted her chest and thanked her behind her softly.

Lin Xuyue looked at the steps above, and took two steps up.The hand that was originally holding her waist was put down, and instead supported her arm.

Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Ningyu couldn't help feeling remorse——Jiang Ningyu, Jiang Ningyu, why are you going upstairs?Can't we drink downstairs?If you can't go up or down now, you can only bite the bullet and continue to jump up.

There is not much space upstairs, only five tables are placed.They had just sat down when the boss came with the drink list.

The boss smiled and asked her, "Friend?"

"Well, classmate." Jiang Ningyu pushed the drink order to the two people opposite.

"Gin and Tonic is fine." Lu Li returned the drink list to the boss.Apparently their "drink" doesn't really matter what kind of wine they drink.

"Are you the same?" The boss turned to Jiang Ningyu.

Jiang Ningyu's heart skipped a beat, and it was too late to interrupt, because the boss followed the words, "...Or the special moonlight in the lotus pond?"

"..."

Jiang Ningyu was silent.

——By the way, why did she bring them here to drink?

Feeling someone's silent gaze, Jiang Ningyu was very grateful for the dim environment at the moment. She stiffened her back and shook her head expressionlessly, "No, I want a Bloody Mary."

After the boss left, she couldn't help leaning forward again, and explained, "The bartenders here are very skilled, and the moonlight in the lotus pond is the signature here, and it's delicious..."

Lu Li ignored her pretentiousness, glanced at his phone and said, "Chen Ning is looking for you, please call back."

These words were obviously addressed to Lin Xuyue.Lin Xuyue took out her phone and glanced at it, frowning for a moment, then typed a few words briefly, and put the phone aside.

"Chen Ning? That roommate of mine?" Jiang Ningyu asked with great interest, "You two have a good relationship?"

This is a funny question.Lu Li glanced at Lin Xuyue, and then at her. He seemed to be torn between revealing and not revealing for a while, and finally asked, "Didn't you give someone a thumbs up in Moments today?"

"That's right, because I'm in the photo...but I don't know how far they have developed." Jiang Ningyu spoke plausibly, and turned to Lin Xuyue, "Tell me about you, what's the matter with posting old photos to celebrate your birthday?" .”

Lin Xuyue didn't fall into the trap, and asked instead, "Are you posting a new photo?"

"..." Jiang Ningyu looked at Lu Li with a smile, "Look, he has learned how to protect people."

"Don't take me with you when you bicker, I won't participate." Lu Li looked down at his phone indifferently.

Lin Xuyue also had a cold face.He reached out to touch the phone, but his hand shook twice when he picked it up, looking like he was about to have a heart attack.

It's not that Jiang Ningyu can't feel the weirdness of the atmosphere, but she's so tired - she can't chat well, and she can't make jokes, so what should she say?She didn't propose to drink together.

Can we still get along normally?

She was helpless.Fortunately, at this time, the boss came up with wine.

"Jiang Ningyu, do you have time this weekend?" Lu Li asked her suddenly.

Jiang Ningyu didn't want to say "yes" or "no" anymore, she took the glass of bright and beautiful blood red cocktail, fiddled with it twice before saying, "I'm going to have dinner with my friends this weekend."

"That's just right." Lu Li said, "One of our colleagues organized a script killing, and there are only two people left. Come with your friend."

"..."

In a word, Jiang Ningyu almost choked on the wine he just sipped, "Hey, I won't go to your company's activities."
