never heard i love you

Chapter 3 Old Love (3)
"Did the other party dislike him?" Chen Junping's face was filled with worry: "I don't want him to get hurt emotionally."

He Ziming looked at his mother's worried face, and his voice sank slightly: "I will not allow this to happen."

A gratified smile appeared on Chen Junping's face, and she unconsciously looked upstairs, feeling rather uneasy.

On the terrace on the third floor of the He family villa, a white recliner was rocking.The night wind was slightly cool, and the treetops outside the house made a slight rustling sound.

He Zian lay casually on the recliner, holding his phone in both hands and lost in thought.The screen emits a faint light, gradually dims, and soon goes black.After a while, he took a deep breath, unlocked and edited the text message again.With the light touch of his finger, a line of words slowly appeared on the screen: Shu Pei, are you asleep?
After thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to ask this question. He couldn't help laughing, deleted everything, and typed again: Shu Pei, I received another part-time salary, so I want to treat you to a supper...

Typed, deleted, deleted, typed, repeated several times, he thought of the kiss that was still full of meaning, the movement of his hands stopped, and he put away the phone full of disappointment.

A week later, Shu Pei couldn't find any reason to shirk, so she took the initiative to call Guo Yueyao to confirm the time and place of the blind date with her.He Zian happened to be sorting out the new season's juice list opposite her. He lip-synced and secretly wrote down the information he wanted to know, his eyes dimmed.

"That's it, I'm very busy now." Shu Pei ended the call, turned around and announced generously that she would invite everyone to have a big meal in the store at noon today.After finishing speaking, she deliberately repeated it to He Zian: "I invite you to dinner at noon, would you like to eat with us?"

He Zi'an's hands paused for a moment, and he suppressed the ecstasy in an instant, and nodded heavily with a bright smile.

Seeing him so happy, Shu Pei suddenly felt a little sorry.In the past six months, it seemed that he hadn't eaten in the restaurant once. Her taste was similar to that of the shop assistants Meiya and Xiaoqi. Except that He Zian didn't eat spicy food, she didn't know anything else.

With the idea of ​​being sympathetic to the employees, she walked up to He Zian, afraid that she might not be able to express herself clearly, so she took a pen and paper and wrote: I don't know what kind of dishes you like.Then handed it over.

He Zian looked at the evenly-strength cursive script on the paper, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, he took the pen from her hand with a smile, and wrote under her words: I am free.

Shu Pei also laughed, took the pen from him without avoiding suspicion, and added: The restaurant does not sell casual.

He Zi'an likes to see Shu Pei smile. In the past, she liked to laugh the most, bright and moving.After three years, it was the first time he saw her smile so naturally, was it because of the purple hyacinth Fang Yiran gave her?Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed, and he continued to write on the paper with a smile: I want to eat steamed sea bass.

Shu Pei smiled and nodded, not noticing the change in his eyes, put away the pen and paper and put them in the pocket of the shop uniform.

He Zi'an returned to the back kitchen to wash all the fruits, took off his gloves and quietly sent a text message to Xiang Chen, informing him that he would not pick up today, and also focused on the technical points of the new project, so that he could hurry up and complete the first project this weekend. The finished product.

Xiang Chen's text message was replied quickly, and the content was simpler, just a good word.

After dinner time, there was no one in the store.The meal Shu Pei ordered was delivered on time, and the four of them closed the store door and gathered around the window to eat.He Zian was sitting next to Shu Pei, his eyes filled with an imperceptible gentle smile.

The cheerful and relaxed atmosphere lasted for about ten minutes, and was unexpectedly broken by the little brother who came to deliver the courier.Meiya, who was sitting near the door, ran over to open the door like a rabbit, and took the envelope for He Zian to sign.From the corner of her eyes, Shu Pei caught a glimpse of the words Fang Yiran on the courier bill, and her expression changed slightly.

The courier brother tore off the receipt and added that it was a ticket for a classical piano concert, which will start at 7:30 next Friday night, and it will be invalid after the expiration date.

His voice was so loud that everyone except He Zian heard it.Shu Pei's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.The smiles on Meiya and Xiaoqi's faces froze at the same time, and the next second, the two rushed to snatch the express envelope from He Zian's hand.

He Zian is a hearing-impaired person, Fang Yiran's actions are simply too vicious!Shu Pei's thoughts changed, she reached out to take the envelope from Meiya, and carefully checked the writing on the envelope.It's not Fang, but the crooked handwriting, if I guess correctly, it should be Meng Xin.

In an instant, Shu Pei's thoughts suddenly became clear.

Fang Yiran probably didn't know, or was pretending to be stupid.For Meng Xin, her ex-girlfriend will always be a thorn that cannot be removed.He thought his actions were seamless, but he might have pierced the woman's fragile nerves long ago.Otherwise, she wouldn't use such a bad way to disgust herself and He Zian in a disguised form.

In such a trance, He Zi'an snatched the envelope quickly, and tore it open with a smile without even looking at it.

Two exquisitely designed concert VIP tickets fell lightly along the slanted envelope.Shu Pei quickly reached out to catch it, but couldn't outrun those big hands.He Zi'an's smiling eyes fell on the bill, and his playful expression gradually froze, becoming weird and distorted.

In desperation, Shu Pei directly took the ticket from his hand, pretending to be curious and shouted: "What, the design is quite beautiful." After she finished speaking, she winked at Meiya and added with a big smile: "Zian, if you don't like it, give it to Meiya."

"Yes, yes..." Meiya took the opportunity to stand up, and looked at He Zian with a sweet smile: "Zian, can you give it to me? Otherwise, I can buy it."

Without even looking at Meiya, He Zi'an took another ticket from Shu Pei with a smile, and told her in sign language: "I'll give you one, and I hope you can accompany me to listen to it on Friday. "

When he reached the last word, his movements were obviously a little slow.

The content of the sign language seems a bit complicated, but the warm smile that intentionally restrained emotions fell in Shu Pei's eyes, like a sharp knife, cruelly cutting open the truth that she has been deliberately avoiding all along.After all, he is different, even if it is only a slight defect that can be ignored, it will become an excuse for some people to attack.

Taking a deep breath, she avoided his sincere eyes with a guilty conscience, and nodded awkwardly.Then he gave him a high five for the first time, and walked back to the counter quickly with the ticket.

He Zian looked at her back tenderly from the corner of his eye, a triumphant smile slowly floated on his lips.Although he knew the malice of the sender, he still felt very happy.As long as there is a chance to be alone with Shu Pei, this humiliation is nothing.

Time passed quietly in the busyness, and the morning light was gone in a blink of an eye.

Because of the express delivery at noon, Shu Pei was in a bad mood all day.With her arms bent and bent over the counter, she stared at the street outside the door that had already started to light up for a while, patted Meiya who was still keeping accounts beside her, and walked tiredly to the back kitchen.The new product launched this summer received very poor response. Several regular customers said that the taste is very strange.

In order to be able to release delicious fruit juice, her tongue became a little numb due to frequent tasting, and her mouth was full of the astringent taste of fruit juice.

After taking a big gulp of herbal tea, Shu Pei took off the shop clothes slowly and put them into the bag together with the shop clothes that others changed.After tidying up, she came out of the back kitchen and checked the time, and took the initiative to order dinner for Meiya, who was guarding the shop alone.

Before going out, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around: "Meiya, is there a road construction near your house recently? I heard that the bus has been diverted."

Meiya raised her head and smiled, and said casually, "Excavating the underground commercial street, the road was blocked the day before yesterday."

"Then after you get off work at night, you can take a taxi and go back. It's dark at night and don't let perverts take advantage of you." Shu Pei walked back to the counter, took a 50 cash piece from her bag and gave it to her. The two bags walked out quickly.

"Got it...you're such an old woman." Meiya smiled and collected the money, muttered to her back, and continued to keep accounts.

Shu Pei put the dirty clothes on the back seat, looked at her watch again, started the engine and left the parking lot with a heavy heart.Recalling He Zi'an's hurt look during the day, he couldn't help feeling annoyed that he had made a mistake while drinking, and that he shouldn't lose his rationality because of Fang Yiran's stimulation.

On the surface, it looks like he won a game, but according to Fang Yiran's abnormal brain circuit, he must feel that he still cares about him in his heart.care?Shu Pei said the word silently, and suddenly laughed.Ever since Meng Xin took the lead, she humiliated herself triumphantly not once or twice.It stands to reason that she wished that these two people would be together forever, so as not to harm the innocent again.It's a pity that it happened to He Zian this time, she will never swallow her anger...

Back at the apartment, after barely finishing the char siew rice brought back on the road, Shu Pei went to take a shower, and poured out the clothes brought back from the store, checked them one by one before putting them into the washing machine.After finding the one she was wearing during the day, she took out a gel pen from her pocket, and a post-it note for chatting with He Zian at noon.

At that time, I was just chatting and didn't pay attention to it. Now I will look at his writing, which is more than a star and a half better than my own.Shu Pei had a hunch that something was wrong, but she wasn't sure.

More than half a year ago, the business in the store gradually improved, and she and Meiya were too busy, so they posted a recruitment notice outside the store, both part-time and full-time.One day it rained heavily, mixed with hail.He Zian entered the store in a mess, ordered a cup of hot corn juice, and when he paid, he realized that he was penniless.

Seeing that he couldn't speak and looked pitiful, Shu Pei waived his order.Unexpectedly, he came again the next day, paid for the corn juice, and asked to work part-time in the store.She agreed without even thinking about it, and arranged for him to come over every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon for a total of four hours.And without telling Meiya, out of sympathy, he was offered an hourly salary of 60.

Calculated to be almost 3000 a month, I originally planned to help him pay social security and insurance, but he disagreed.I talked to him several times about this matter alone, and because he insisted repeatedly, Shu Pei was too embarrassed to force it.

Turning her thoughts around, she thought about the delivery at noon again, so she quickly put the clothes away, set up the washing machine and went back to her room to call Yan Susu.A few moments after the number was dialed, Yan Susu's high-decibel complaint quickly came from his ears: "Combo, Wen Zhe and I are dating, do you mean it?"

Shu Pei frowned, and told her directly: "At noon today, Fang Yiran's current girlfriend, Meng Xin, delivered two VIP tickets for the piano concert to Zi'an by courier."
