In the private room of the high-end restaurant, three people were seated.

Mo Zhengyan was in the middle, while Chu Qiao and Song Yingzi sat beside Mo Zhengyan.

The waiter brought up the menu, one for each of the three.Chu Qiao opened it to see, she had never had any idea about ordering food, so she lacked interest.

Song Yingzi seemed very happy. She took the menu and moved it closer to Mo Zhengyan, flipping through it while watching, "Zhengyan, can I order a fish?"

"Order if you like." Mo Zhengyan said in a low voice.

"Well, let's get a fish, what about this one?" Song Yingzi asked again.

Mo Zhengyan took a look, "It's up to you."

"Even if you follow me, at least you have to love to eat, otherwise it would be a waste to order." Song Yingzi said, pointing to a dish and asking, "Do you like this?"

"Hey? There's also foie gras here? I remember when you were in the United States, you liked it. Order this?" Song Yingzi suddenly saw it and shouted in surprise.

Mo Zhengyan nodded casually, and turned his gaze to Chu Qiao.I saw her sitting beside him calmly and quietly, not next to him, but a different seat, and put the bag on the chair that separated him.She was looking at the menu, but she was not interested, as if she didn't have much interest, as if it didn't matter.

Mo Zhengyan knew that although Chu Qiao was particular about food, she would not refuse anyone who came and would not be too picky.

It's just that most of the time, Mo Zhengyan felt that she was like a mass of air, too quiet.

"Chu Qiao." Mo Zhengyan called her.

Chu Qiao raised her head and looked sideways at him, she responded, "En?"

"See what you want to eat." Mo Zhengyan said in a low voice.

Chu Qiao nodded, then smiled and said, "It's all fine."

"Did you see anything you particularly want to eat?"

"I have never been to this restaurant." Chu Qiao said.

It is true that Chu Qiao has never been to this restaurant, she seldom goes to restaurants outside.It seems that apart from those few times, there are only a handful of them.It was Mo Zhengyan who took her out before, and Jiang Yanyu also met several times after returning to China. In the rest of the time, how could she go to such an expensive place.

It's just that such a conversation will make people feel suddenly, as if they have returned to the original time, in the revolving restaurant.

Song Yingzi at the side heard it, she looked at Chu Qiao and said, "Then let me order, okay? Just leave it to me!"

Chu Qiao smiled, "Okay."

Seeing this, Mo Zhengyan fell silent, and Ren Song Yingzi made his decision.

During the time while waiting for the food to be served, the three of them chatted about nothing.In general, when interviewing others, Chu Qiao can handle it freely, but when chatting in private, she is not as eloquent as Song Yingzi.Most of the time, Chu Qiao was the audience.

Mo Zhengyan never talked too much, so he listened silently.

Song Yingzi was very lively, talking about the interesting things about the training in the company recently, and then chatting, talking about Chu Qiao, she said, "Chu Qiao, you are a reporter, isn't it very exciting and fun?"

At the dinner table, Song Yingzi directly called Chu Qiao's name, no longer the polite address like before.Chu Qiao was fine, she was about to speak, but someone preempted her.

It was Mo Zhengyan who spoke, and he said in a low voice, "Xiao Zi, it's not big or small, you just called your name like this?"

Song Yingzi didn't take it seriously, "Zhengyan, I've said it many times, the name was chosen, of course it was called by someone!"

These words were undoubtedly Song Yingzi's catchphrase, and she smiled again, "Besides, Chu Qiao is only a little older than me, so it's okay to call her name directly?"

Chu Qiao said from the side, "It's okay, just call her name, Yingzi."

"Well, that's all right." Song Yingzi smiled brightly, her youthful appearance made it hard to bear to reprimand her again.

Mo Zhengyan frowned, and said with a headache, "That's how she is, a child's temper."

"How? I'm not a child! I'm 20 years old this year!" Song Yingzi refused to compromise and began to protest.

"Isn't 20 young enough?"

"I've grown up! Don't always treat me like a child, okay?"

The two couldn't help arguing because of their age. Song Yingzi began to defend herself, and what she said was well-founded, but Mo Zhengyan stopped talking and let her talk.There was a smile on his handsome face, that smile was very doting and gentle.

Chu Qiao sat on one side, she just smiled and could only remain silent.

Suddenly he lost the desire to speak, and suddenly found that he didn't even have room to insert.

It wasn't until the waiter came in and the dishes came that she was able to breathe, and Chu Qiao was inexplicably relieved.

Song Yingzi ordered a lot of dishes and set up a whole table. During the meal, Song Yingzi talked about her life in the United States, and of course there were also fragments of life between her and Mo Zhengyan, "Once a few classmates and I went to the bar , I told him it was all right, but in the end, he was really worried. Chu Qiao, do you know what he did?"

"What?" Chu Qiao asked.

"It's an exaggeration. It said that I had to go back to school at ten o'clock. At ten o'clock, I couldn't get through on my mobile phone, so I went directly to the bar and sent someone to clear the place. The boss thought it was a gangster who made trouble, and even called the police. .Because of this incident, the classmates who went to the bar with me thought I was the daughter of a gangster, and insisted that I take them to see it." Song Yingzi talked about the past, and the smile on her face became brighter.

When Chu Qiao heard this, she also smiled, "It's really an exaggeration."

Going to the bar to have a drink is not at ease, and directly sends someone to clear the venue. Although outrageous, it seems like something Mo Zhengyan would do.

Mo Zhengyan, in dealing with people, has always been extremely domineering.

And his protection of Song Yingzi is clearly visible.

She doesn't even need to see it with her own eyes, she can feel it just by listening to these clips.

"You're a girl, you shouldn't be in the bar after ten o'clock in the evening." Mo Zhengyan didn't justify his behavior, nor did he think it was an exaggeration. He said this very rationally and calmly.

Song Yingzi frowned, and said unwillingly, "It's so rare to play, and you still control me like this, do you know how much trouble it caused me?"

"If you listen to me, you'll be fine?" Mo Zhengyan asked back.

Song Yingzi stared blankly, and argued with him again.

Suddenly, so quickly, Chu Qiao seemed to be like air again.But if it was really air, it would probably be easier.At this moment, Chu Qiao suddenly felt like an outsider.It happened so suddenly that she was caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.Just like the two of them in front of them, they were together, and she just happened to meet for a meal.

It seems that I am so out of tune with them.

For the first time, Chu Qiao felt how the word distance was written.

She lowered her head and took two mouthfuls of rice, which was very dry and hard to swallow.

Another hot dish came up, it was that delicious fish.

Song Yingzi picked up the chopsticks, "Look at the taste."

Song Yingzi was eating here, and Mo Zhengyan looked sideways, and seeing Chu Qiao still eating quietly, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Why don't you eat?"

The familiar low-pitched male voice floated over, Chu Qiao turned her head, met Mo Zhengyan's slightly concerned eyes, she smiled and said, "I have something to eat."

"I haven't seen you move your chopsticks, is it not to your liking?" Mo Zhengyan asked again, but he didn't ignore her every move.Look at the rice in that bowl, she only took a few mouthfuls, there is still so much left, if she says she has eaten, he will definitely not let it go.

Chu Qiao was taken aback, it turned out that he also noticed her, she shook her head and said, "It tastes good, I'm just not very hungry."

It's true that Chu Qiao doesn't eat much, she has always been like this since she was a child.

However, since working outside, the food intake is obviously much better than before.

At this moment, Chu Qiao couldn't feel whether she was hungry or not. Where did she get her mood and appetite to taste these delicacies.

"Eat even if you're not hungry." Mo Zhengyan said in a low voice, his usual domineering tone, and he even moved directly.Holding the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of delicious fish for her and put it in her bowl.

Chu Qiao smiled, feeling a little warm in her heart, she lowered her head and started eating silently.

"How does it taste?" Mo Zhengyan asked.

It is indeed a very delicious fish, not fishy or greasy, refreshing and natural, Chu Qiao tasted it and praised, "It's delicious."

"Oh! Cough!" But at this moment, there was a very uncomfortable cough.

The two turned their heads and looked over at the same time, only to see Song Yingzi's face was flushed, clutching her chest sadly, her face was flushed red, and she was speechless.

"Xiaozi, what's wrong?" Mo Zhengyan asked with a frown.

Song Yingzi faltered, maybe because of the pain, even her eyes were red, she said with difficulty, "I was stuck by... a fishbone... and it's here..."

Mo Zhengyan frowned when he heard her say that, "Are you caught by a fishbone?"

"Drink some vinegar?" Chu Qiao asked hastily.

Mo Zhengyan immediately asked someone to bring a small dish of vinegar, and fed it to Song Yingzi. Song Yingzi was so choked by the sour taste of the vinegar that she burst into tears and coughed continuously, "Ahem!"

"Is it better?" Mo Zhengyan patted her on the back and asked with concern.

Song Yingzi shook her head.

Seeing Song Yingzi like this, Mo Zhengyan said, "I'll take you to the hospital."

"No...it's just a fishbone..." Song Yingzi shook her head again, she refused to go.

Chu Qiao said again, "Why don't you eat some rice and see if you can swallow the fishbone."

Mo Zhengyan immediately asked someone to serve a small bowl of rice, and he started directly to feed Song Yingzi a few mouthfuls.

Song Yingzi ate several mouthfuls of rice in a row, swallowing in her throat. She was sad at first, but then she got better. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were also flushed. She stroked her neck and said, "It seems that I swallowed it."

"Eat a few more bites." Seeing that it was useful, Mo Zhengyan asked her to continue.

"Don't eat..."

"Be obedient!" Mo Zhengyan spat out two words, and the rice came to her mouth again.

Song Yingzi had no choice but to open her mouth, and took a few more mouthfuls.

After a while, Song Yingzi finally recovered.Mo Zhengyan asked how she was doing, and Song Yingzi said, "Zhengyan, I'm fine now."

Mo Zhengyan was obviously still worried, and reminded again, "If you still feel unwell, go to the hospital."

Song Yingzi couldn't take it anymore, and couldn't help laughing, "Zhengyan, you are making too much of a fuss, I was just stuck by a fishbone, if I really went to the hospital, the doctor asked how it was, if I told him the truth, it wouldn't let me People died laughing."

"What's the matter? Doctors are here to treat people!" Mo Zhengyan said disapprovingly.

Song Yingzi smiled and shook her head, "But I'm all well now, so there's no need to go."

"Be careful in the future, I think you should stop eating fish, and don't eat it in the future." Mo Zhengyan was afraid that things would repeat the same mistakes, so he simply told her not to eat fish.

Song Yingzi was not happy anymore, she frowned and shouted, "It's just once in a while, and you don't even eat fish?" While she was talking, she didn't forget to find a savior to help, "Chu Qiao, look at him, he always eats fish." Such an exaggeration. In fact, there is nothing wrong, if you can’t eat fish in the future, what’s the point?”

Song Yingzi smiled, Chu Qiao was a little dazed, and saw Mo Zhengyan frowning slightly, with a serious face, she said softly, "Be careful, although it's not a big deal for a fishbone to get stuck in your throat, you should also pay attention. It's bad if you pierce your throat."

"See? You just don't want to eat fish anymore." Mo Zhengyan immediately said again.

Song Yingzi did not agree, "But this fish tastes so good, I just want to eat it!"

As Song Yingzi said, she was about to pick up the fish with her chopsticks again. Mo Zhengyan took a look and stopped her immediately, "Don't move! I'll help you pick it up!"

Mo Zhengyan yelled, and Song Yingzi really didn't move. I saw him put the fish fillets into a bowl, and then carefully removed the fish bones, not letting go of the small ones. He was extremely considerate.Then he brought it in front of her and said in a low voice, "You can eat it."

Song Yingzi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at him.

"When I eat fish from now on, you must be present, right? Otherwise, who will pick the fish bone for me?" Song Yingzi said with a smile.

Mo Zhengyan was silent and just smiled.

Chu Qiao sat at the side silently, looking at this scene, such a picture, such a situation, inexplicably, all of a sudden, Chu Qiao had a feeling of déjà vu, as if she had seen it before somewhere.

Chu Qiao thought about it carefully. When interviewing Shen Yan earlier, was Jiang Yanyu and Shen Yan in the restaurant the same?

Shen Yan ate like a bird under Jiang Yanyu's protection, and Jiang Yanyu was also so considerate.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that her throat seemed to be stuck by a fishbone, and she felt faintly uncomfortable.

She didn't understand why she felt this way, but she only knew that she didn't seem to be supposed to.

There was a sour smell in the air, the sour smell of vinegar.

Chu Qiao was clearly not jealous, but it seemed as if she had tasted a big mouthful, which made her teeth feel sore, and even her heart felt sore.

◎◎◎

After dinner, Mo Zhengyan first drove Song Yingzi back.Chu Qiao still sat in the back seat, she was always quiet, and because of this position, it was inconvenient to talk, and because she was not in the mood to talk, so she didn't speak much.Only occasionally, when someone called her, she would answer a few words.Such passivity, such dispensability.

Chu Qiao walked quietly all the way again, listening to their chatting, talking about those past years, those interesting things when they lived in the United States.

In fact, it was like this the whole night.

It seems that they always have endless topics to talk about. It seems that there are countless memories between them that can be brought out for aftertaste.

That is a field she cannot touch, that is the past that she cannot touch, that is the scenery that she has not participated in.

Chu Qiao leaned against the seat and suddenly felt a little tired.

And between the breaths, there is also some soreness for unknown reasons, and the heart is also slightly tightened.

Song Yingzi's brisk female voice was next to her ears, Chu Qiao looked sideways out of the window, she was suddenly stunned by herself.

Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao, are you really jealous?

Those passing streets were hurriedly seen, covering Chu Qiao's eyes.

The car stopped in front of an expensive apartment building, and Song Yingzi said goodbye to them, "I enjoyed eating today! Change the sky, let's go out together again!"

Chu Qiao smiled and nodded, "Okay."

"Then I'll go up, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After Song Yingzi greeted Chu Qiao, she turned her head to look at Mo Zhengyan, and said with a smile, "Zhengyan, I'm going up."

Mo Zhengyan nodded in silence.

But at this moment, Chu Qiao saw Song Yingzi suddenly leaning towards Mo Zhengyan.It was a very fast movement, almost caught people off guard, and made Chu Qiao's eyes condense.Then Song Yingzi planted a kiss on Mo Zhengyan's cheek, she smiled, said "bye", and then unbuckled her seat belt and left.

After getting out of the car, Song Yingzi, who was about to enter the building, turned around and waved at them before entering the building.

When her figure disappeared, Chu Qiao still seemed to have not recovered from that scene.

It was a similar situation again, which reminded Chu Qiao of the scene she had seen in the western restaurant before.

That Miss Zheng Yuan also kissed suddenly, right in front of her.

When she saw Zheng Yuan kissing Mo Zhengyan, Chu Qiao's mood was still calm, because at that time, Mo Zhengyan was just a stranger to her.But now, she would also be suffocating, feeling uncomfortable and unhappy.His identity has changed, his position has changed, and his attitude has changed even more. He may still be the same Mo Zhengyan, but she is no longer the same Chu Qiao as before.

Only then did Chu Qiao realize that at this moment, she was actually so restless.

Before Mo Zhengyan started the car, he whispered, "Chu Qiao, sit in the front."

Hearing his shout, Chu Qiao raised her eyes and said, "No need, I'll just sit in the back."

Mo Zhengyan paused in silence, then without saying anything, stepped on the accelerator and started the engine.They were rushing to their apartment, and without Song Yingzi, the car suddenly became quiet.Only the sound of the wind and the sound of the car buzzed in my ears, leaving nothing but silence.

While driving the car, Mo Zhengyan paid attention to Chu Qiao from time to time.He looked up at the front mirror, and through the mirror, he watched Chu Qiao's reaction.

She has always been like this, always quiet.

But Mo Zhengyan noticed that today's tranquility was very different from usual.

Mo Zhengyan pondered for a while, and then said, "Xiaozi has lived in the United States for many years, and her living habits have been Americanized. When she got off the car just now, she was just being polite."

Chu Qiao looked out the window and responded softly, "I know."

How could Chu Qiao not know.

As a beautiful girl who has lived in the United States for so many years, she has long been aware of such kiss etiquette.In fact, at the moment just now, she told herself so, said so to herself.Kissing is nothing, sometimes it may really be just a polite greeting.

"Why did you eat so little tonight?"

"I said I'm not very hungry."

"Also, you didn't say much."

"Because I feel a little tired."

Mo Zhengyan asked a question, and Chu Qiao replied, as if nothing happened. Hearing what she said, Mo Zhengyan said, "Then close your eyes and sleep for a while."

Chu Qiao closed her eyes as expected, and leaned against the back of the chair in a daze.

It was past ten o'clock when I got home.Chu Qiao immediately went to the balcony to collect the clothes, then took a change of pajamas, and was about to take a shower.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I found that I forgot to take the towels.

Chu Qiao made a gesture to turn around and was about to fetch it.

But Mo Zhengyan broke in at this moment and stood in front of her abruptly. Such a tall person, standing at the door of the bathroom, can completely fill the door.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to get a bath towel." Chu Qiao looked at him and said.

Mo Zhengyan refused to let go, and even more domineeringly closed the sliding door with his backhand, directly locked it, and after a click, he looked at her silently.

Many times, Chu Qiao felt that Mo Zhengyan's attention, that kind of eyes, had an incredible penetrating power, which made people feel at a loss. She muttered "Stop making trouble", and then she was about to pull him away.

In an instant, Mo Zhengyan stepped into the bathroom, turned her around, and forced her against the wall. In the blink of an eye, Chu Qiao was trapped between the wall and his body.She looked up angrily, and couldn't help but glared at him, "What are you doing?"

Mo Zhengyan lowered his head, he was a head taller than her, and looked down at her, "What are you doing?"

"Me?" Chu Qiao was a little suspicious, she didn't know why.

It was all right now, he asked her in turn.

"I didn't talk all night, and I didn't eat much." Mo Zhengyan brought up the old story again.

Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows, "I'm not hungry, and I'm a little tired. Besides, I don't know what you're talking about in America, and I can't get in the way."

"Is that so?" Mo Zhengyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course, otherwise what?" Chu Qiao said angrily.

"Hehe." Mo Zhengyan smiled, and that smile was very charming. When he smiled, there was a soul-stirring charm that couldn't be described in words. His slanted and slightly curved eyebrows became energetic, Such starlight.He let go of his hand with a smile, leaning his slender body against the wall, and suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "I thought you were jealous."
