the moon is not as good as you

Chapter 99 You're Waiting
Soon, Jiang Ningyu was put on the back seat of the car by him.Sitting in the passenger seat is a very cute girl with a raw face and a very lively look.

Before she could sit still, the girl greeted her, "Hello, is Lu Li a colleague?"

Jiang Ningyu raised her eyelids and said "Mmm".

"I think you look familiar." The girl turned her head and looked at her, "Ah, I remembered, you are Lin Xuyue's classmate."

"Ah."

Her brows and eyes were slightly tired, and she was rarely perfunctory and indifferent, and she didn't want to talk to anyone.Lu Li glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and said to the person next to him, "Let's take you home first."

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's fine..." The tone was a little disappointed, but also implied expectation, "Can you come tomorrow?"

"See if you work overtime or not."

"Then can I go to your company's team building? Do you have plus one?"

"Not sure, we'll see when the time comes."

Lu Li's answer obviously didn't satisfy her, and he said coquettishly, "I was very enthusiastic before, but suddenly I'll watch it again when the time comes..."

Lu Li smiled and said nothing, but Jiang Ningyu felt a headache when she heard it. She just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but just lying down, the driver of the car suddenly reminded her, as if she had sensed her intentions. "Fasten your seat belt and don't do anything dangerous."

"Ah? I'm wearing a seat belt..." The girl suddenly realized something and fell silent.

Jiang Ningyu sat up resentfully, turned her head and looked out the window.

The phone suddenly vibrated, and the caller displayed the three words "Lin Xuyue" in big letters.

She turned off the vibration directly, pretending she didn't see it.

After sending the girl to the place, Lu Li drove a short distance and asked her, "Where are you going?"

"The shoes are broken, so I can't go anywhere." Jiang Ningyu leaned against the car window and looked at him from behind, "Can you accompany me to buy a pair of shoes? Any store on the roadside will do."

Lu Li didn't return, but slowly turned the steering wheel and turned around.

There was an unusual silence in the car.

He has always been cheerful and unrestrained, in high spirits, and never let the scene cool down.Since when did their solitude become strange and subtle?I don't know if it was out of resentment that she teased her friend, or because of something else.

"Did I disrupt your evening plans?" Jiang Ningyu opened her mouth softly.

Lu Li didn't give her any face either, and said "Yeah", "Student reunion, no accidents, I should be in karaoke now."

"So that was your classmate just now?"

"No, a two-year high school junior."

Jiang Ningyu frowned, feeling that she had recently clashed with the words "high school junior".

She tentatively half-jokingly, "Oh, An Yujiao's classmate?"

"You know An Yujiao?" Lu Li turned his head and glanced at her, seemingly surprised.

She nodded, "My senior's blind date is from the same company as hers."

"The relationship is far enough." Lu Li paused and said, "They are friends."

Jiang Ningyu understood.

The girl just now was obviously interested in him... Four of them had two groups of CPs, it was pretty nice to think about it.

The car stopped at a shoe store on the side of the road.Jiang Ningyu wanted to jump out of the car, but was stopped by Lu Li, "You wait."

Then she watched Lu Li enter the shoe store, point to a pair of sneakers, and have someone pack them up.

"You know my shoe size, just buy it." Jiang Ningyu took the shoe box from him and whispered doubts.

"Stupid? If it doesn't fit, you can change it."

Right.

Jiang Ningyu changed her shoes with the mentality of trying, got out of the car and took two steps, and found that they fit.

She clicked her tongue a little, "It's really just right."

Lu Li was noncommittal, "Then send you back?"

She turned a deaf ear to it, and asked with a sweet smile, "You're hungry, can I treat you to dinner as a thank you?"

Lu Li frowned, and looked straight at Jiang Ningyu, as if trying to see through the source of her abnormality.After a long time, he nodded, "Okay, you can only eat expensive ones when you treat guests."

So I found a nearby Omakase store with a high rating.The dinner section is expensive, 998 per person.There are twelve fish sushi among the eighteen dishes, which are quite fresh, but Jiang Ningyu didn't eat anything after waking up today, and only drank some fruit tea, so after eating raw and cold dishes, she felt a stomachache. Feeling unwell, I went to the bathroom to vomit.

Finally, I went to the wonton shop next door and had a hot meal, so I felt better.

"Let's go?" Lu Li asked her again.

"It's very close to the river, why don't you go for a walk?" Jiang Ningyu said, pushing him to the riverside avenue.

In the bustling night, neon lights are shining along the river, sparkling, with dreamlike ripples.

Lu Li kept frowning, hesitating to speak.

Finally, Jiang Ningyu also felt something was wrong, and broke the long silence between them, "I don't know who else to turn to except you." Her voice was soft but heavy, "If you ignore me Me, I don't know what to do."

Lu Li stopped abruptly, as if taken aback by her words.

"What happened?" He frowned even tighter.

"I..." wanted to borrow 500 million—but the words got to the point of my mouth, and I couldn't say anything.

You can almost predict anyone's reaction when they hear this: it's unbelievable, too ridiculous.

If they were still in college, maybe Jiang Ningyu wouldn't be so entangled. If she refused, she would just refuse. Anyway, the relationship is there, and it won't change because of these trivial matters.

But now that I have said it, it is very likely that I will get nothing but cynicism.

She suddenly felt tired, wanted to share the worries of her best friend but couldn't save face, wanted to be good but couldn't overcome her conscience.Unable to have both ways, but eager to be favored by others.

So he is always extremely easy-going and cheerful, but his heart is full of sickness.

During those few seconds, there was so much silence that only her own breathing could be heard. Jiang Ningyu was about to speak, but finally lowered her eyes and squatted down helplessly, "...Lack of money, 500 million."

The sound was as light as a mosquito moaning, so faint it was almost inaudible.

She didn't dare to look up at Lu Li's expression, and she also prepared a corresponding answer.

But there was a long silence, so long that she got rid of the embarrassment, and suddenly a pair of hands patted her shoulder lightly, as if to comfort her.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Lu Li's voice reached her ears, she raised her head in a daze, and met his complicated but worried eyes.

She shook her head, hesitated again, and nodded.

"Okay." Lu Li thought for a while, and said to her, "Give me two days, and I'll find a way for you."

He didn't ask the reason, nor refused, but reassured her.

Jiang Ningyu thought it was better to tell him the truth, "I... I borrowed it for my friend."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's brows relaxed a little, as if he had relaxed a little, and asked her, "The one who can make you say this... Li Weiwei?"

She nodded, "We met today, something happened to her family, she borrowed everything except me, but I don't know who to tell this..."
