love is inevitable

The previous two times I came to the seafood restaurant, I only felt that the high-end atmosphere here is high-grade, but this time when I walked in the door, the feeling was very different. It may be because of the festive atmosphere. Today, there are a lot of couples who come here to eat, but I quickly Then I found the problem - the men and women who came to eat here are dressed up today, the men are in suits and leather shoes, but the women are in dresses. Look at myself, jeans and down jacket, the clothes are obviously silky.

"Why don't you go in?" Xia Haoyu turned to look at me and asked suspiciously.

"Brother Yu, is there any special event here today? Why are these beauties dressed so beautifully..." In fact, I was embarrassed to say that I didn't look good in my clothes, so I beat around the bush and praised others.

Xia Haoyu glanced at the room, looked at me strangely, and said, "No one is particularly beautiful, are you okay to pay attention to what other girls are doing? Come on, hurry up, Wen Hao and the others are already waiting for us inside..."

After Xia Haoyu said this, he dragged me into the seafood restaurant. Rather than saying that I went in by myself, it would be better to say that I was dragged into it abruptly by Xia Haoyu. Fortunately, no waiter called me out, otherwise I would be ashamed.

Our seats are on the right side of the hall, Han Wenhao and Chen Luoluo are sitting on the front of us, Xia Haoyu and I are sitting on the other side, under such bright light, I can clearly see Chen Luoluo's face, with willow eyebrows and big eyes , red lips and white teeth, plus the cleavage that is about to come out, I was shocked when I saw it...

"Duo Duo, what are you standing there for? Hurry up, I'm ready for knives!" Chen Luoluo looked at me with a smile and said with a smile.

I nodded and sat down, glanced at the red curtain in the center of the hall, on which the words "Happy Christmas Eve" appeared impressively, and the host stood on it in a dress, bowing to everyone with a smile.

Is there any activity?

"President Wang said that we will hold an event for everyone tonight, probably this one..." Han Wenhao looked at Xia Haoyu and me and said with a smile.

"It looks like there are still prizes, why? He thinks he has earned a lot of money?" Xia Haoyu picked up a shrimp, peeled the shrimp rhythmically with his fingers, then turned to look at me, and put the shrimp in my bowl .

"Yo! Brother Yu, I didn't see it! You still have such a gentle side!" Chen Luoluo looked at the shrimp in my bowl and teased Xia Haoyu.

I ate the shrimp with my head down, not daring to look at her.Unexpectedly, as soon as the shrimps were stuffed into her mouth, Chen Luoluo raised her red wine glass and looked at me, saying, "Duoduo, let me introduce myself first. I teach Chen Luoluo, who came from Beijing and is the girlfriend of Wenhao. sisters!"

I nodded slightly, raised my glass and said, "My name is Lin Duoduo, and I work in the printing room at the end of Bar Street. Welcome to Philadelphia."

We drank a glass of red wine in one gulp, we smiled at each other, just as I was about to pour the wine, Xia Haoyu snatched my wine glass and ordered the waiter beside me to open a drink for me, which made me a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, Brother Yu, what's the matter? Just a glass of red wine is enough to welcome me? Isn't that too disrespectful to me?" After Chen Luoluo finished speaking, she asked the waiter to get another glass for herself.

"There is an event tonight, so I can't drink so much..." Xia Haoyu said in a flat voice, and looked at the center of the stage again. "This event, you two can have fun."

Han Wenhao and Chen Luoluo looked at the stage placed in the center of the hall at the same time. After the curtain was pulled back, the words "Kissing Contest" were actually written on it.

Kissing contest?The seafood restaurant is going to hold a kissing contest tonight?Is this the activity Xia Haoyu was talking about?

"Hahaha, Brother Yu, I didn't see it. I said, why did you two bring me to eat seafood today? It turns out that you have already prepared something to play!"

"Luoluo, how are you doing? Do you want to play?" Han Wenhao leaned closer to Chen Luoluo and whispered in his ear.

I turned my face away in embarrassment, but when I turned my face away, I saw the ruby ​​hanging on Chen Luoluo's chest. From the color and texture, I always felt like I had seen it somewhere before, but I just couldn't remember it for a while. .

"They want to play a kissing contest, should we try it?" Xia Haoyu pushed the shrimp to my mouth, looked at me with a smile, and said.

"No need, it's good for them to participate, so many people..."

"It seems that if you win, there will be a prize..." Xia Haoyu continued to seduce me.

"What prize?"

"What kind of prize do you want?" Xia Haoyu leaned so close to me when he said this, he was so dizzy that he actually looked at me like this in front of so many people.

"Are you rich?" The matter of owed Zhang Youze is [-] yuan flashed in his mind for a moment, and he said it after thinking about it.

"Of course..." Xia Haoyu said without hesitation, "It seems that there is a mysterious prize, which is said to be a Cartier necklace worth 10,000+." Xia Haoyu picked up the handkerchief on the table, gently wiped the corners of my mouth, and sat back in situ.

10,000+ Cartier necklaces?Wouldn't the money owed to Zhang Youze be written off?I excitedly looked towards the center of the hall, but didn't dare to nod for a long time.Kissing in front of so many people, isn't it...

"Hey, Duoduo, do you want to play?" Chen Luoluo looked at me and said with a smile.

"I'm not sure yet." I answered honestly.One side is 10,000+ Cartier, and the other side is kissing in front of so many people, it's just...too tangled.

"It's so much fun, so much, just let's see how capable brother Yu is, won't he come down right after he goes up?" Han Wenhao looked at Xia Haoyu with a look of "you can't do it".

"Han Wenhao, you don't have a crow's mouth, maybe you will fall down when you go up, Sister Luoluo, I am not worried about you, I am afraid that Han Wenhao will fail!" He actually said Brother Yu in front of me, thinking that I don't exist?

"Yo, Luoluo, you see how many people there are, so I'll just say something bad to Brother Yu, and worry about her, no, you're going to treat me the same way..." Han Wenhao stretched out his hand and turned towards Chen Luoluo when he said this. Go, with a coquettish look on his face.

"Fuck you, Brother Yu still peeled the shrimps for Duoduo, what about you? You just know me!" Chen Luoluo pushed Han Wenhao aside pretending to be angry, looked at me with a smile and said: "Duoduo, how are you? Don't want to join in?"

I could feel that the three people on the table were all looking at me, especially Xia Haoyu beside him. At this moment, he didn't say a word, as if he was waiting for my response.Although I, Lin Duoduo, am a woman, but...

"I'll cheer for you from below, cheer!" It really takes a lot of courage to kiss in front of so many people, I think, I can't do it for a while.

"Hey, Lin Duoduo, a girl who usually speaks loudly, why, she turned into a turtle at a critical moment?" Han Wenhao looked at me half-jokingly, then turned to look at Chen Luoluo, and said, "My wife , let's go up later and defeat those people, shall we?"

"Okay, husband, it is said that there are prizes, it must be fun."

While chatting and laughing, a group of people passed by us, Xia Haoyu leaned into my ear and whispered: "It's okay, go back at night, we will play by ourselves..."

"Fuck you..." I smiled lightly, and as soon as I raised my head, I saw people looking at me head-on.

Since the last time I talked to Zhang Youze at his home, I have never heard any news about him except for hearing his name from Wei Liang's mouth once. A little thinner.

Yes, I can almost conclude that he is indeed thinner, and his fair face looks sharp and angular, but with a kind of alienation that he has never had before.

I don't know what kind of expression I should show at this moment. I want to smile, but the smile is stiff on my face. I want to pretend to be a stranger, but I can't pretend that I have never known each other.

He nodded to me first, but I was ashamed and didn't know how to respond.Their seats were less than three meters away from us, and Wei Liang was also dressed up to attend today, and would look at me from time to time.

"Gentlemen and girls, good evening!" The host on the curtain came wearing a dress and spoke to everyone with a microphone, "Tonight is the [-]th anniversary celebration of our seafood restaurant, and it is also Christmas Eve..."

I'm not interested in listening to what the host is saying with the microphone, I can only fiddle with the knife and fork in my hand.

"A lot," Xia Haoyu pulled my hand into his palm, held it tightly, and said, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

I shook my head, not knowing how to respond. It was obvious that Zhang Youze and I had nothing to do, but after seeing him, the words he told me that night, and Xia Haoyu downstairs, came to my mind. for everything I've done.

I thought these things could be easily forgotten, but I didn't expect that even a shallow scar would leave traces in our hearts.

"Hahahaha..." There was a burst of laughter all around, I raised my head and looked at Han Wenhao and Chen Luoluo opposite, they were already walking towards the stage hand in hand, I took a closer look and saw that the kissing contest was about to start.

"Duoduo, Han Wenhao made a contemptuous gesture towards me just now." Xia Haoyu looked at me, his eyes full of sadness.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"He and Chen Luoluo feel that my kissing skills are average, if I go to participate, I will lose them." Xia Haoyu looked frustrated, and his eyes were fixed on the stage.

"No, I didn't see Han Wenhao do anything to you..."

"You kept your head down just now, how did you see the two of them teasing me... Hey, how dare Wenhao treat me like this before Chen Luoluo didn't come, but now they are bullying me, because they have spotted my wife Wouldn't mind..."

"Brother Yu, I didn't expect Han Wenhao to bully you. Come on, let's go up and win them, maybe we can get Cartier!" I took Xia Haoyu's hand, raised my steps and walked towards the stage set up in the center of the hall go up.

I don't know if it's because I'm dazzled, but I always feel like I've seen the curve of Xia Haoyu's mouth that seems to be a half-smile. Could it be that he has the determination to win?
