In those years, we were not together

Chapter 15 Finally Say I Love You (4)
"Oh yes, an old friend," Jim falters.

"Do I know you?" Lily asked with a smile.

"Hehe, you know it too." Jim said.

While he was talking, Li Lei had already walked over here.

"Jim!" Li Lei waved towards him.

Lily turned her head, saw that it was Li Lei, and was stunned.

"It's so lively!" Li Lei said pretending to be relaxed.

"Come on, Li Lei, sit here." Jim stood up and offered his seat to Li Lei.

"Come on, let me introduce. This is my middle school classmate——Li Lei." Jim introduced.

"This is Lily's boyfriend - Zhu Zhifang." Jim pointed at Zhu Zhifang.

Then, he added: "This is my wife—Susan."

Li Lei didn't expect to meet Zhu Zhifang on this occasion, and he also had a title - Lily's boyfriend!

But out of friendship, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello!"

"Nicetomeetyou!" Zhu Zhifang also spoke English, but he didn't know if he was dragging it on purpose, or if he was used to talking to Lily and couldn't change it.

"Let's order!" Jim said.

"Okay!" Only Zhu Zhifang agreed.

Lily and Li Lei glanced at each other, somewhat embarrassed, and did not speak to each other.Indeed, no one knows what to say on this occasion.

"What do you eat?" Jim asked as he flipped through the menu.

"Lily, what do you eat?" Zhu Zhifang handed the menu to Lily.

"I can do anything." Lily obviously didn't want to read the menu anymore.

"Then let me order a classic steak for you! It's medium rare." Zhu Zhifang made up his mind and said, "I'll have another pumpkin soup and a tiramisu, what do you think?"

"Okay, yes." Lily nodded, couldn't help looking at Li Lei, and lowered her head.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Jim handed the menu to Li Lei and asked, "Look, what do you want to eat?"

At this time, Li Lei had no intention of eating, so he said, "You can order whatever you want, and I won't pick anything. Anything will do."

"That's as good as Lily!" Jim said deliberately.

"Susan, what are you eating?" Jim turned to his wife, looking for some warmth from the awkward atmosphere.

"I'd like a garden salad and a tuna sandwich!" It seemed that Susan had lost her appetite.

"What about you?" Jim asked Zhu Zhifang.

"I'm the same as Lily." Zhu Zhifang said.

Jim was stupid, everything that was planned, but because of the addition of a third party, it was all ruined.However, at this time, he was not sure who the third party was.From the brother's point of view, of course Zhu Zhifang is the third party; from the reality of the situation, it seems that Li Lei is the third party.

This scene is a bit complicated, and the meal is a bit tangled.Therefore, during the meal, everyone didn't chat too much. Everyone was eating their meals, looking forward to finishing their meals quickly and ending early.

Finally, everyone fought alone for half an hour, and finally completed the task of eating.

"Waiter, pay the bill!" Jim waved.

"The total is 860 yuan." The waitress said politely.

"Okay." Jim said while giving the bank card to the waitress.

"Excuse me, sir, our credit card machine is broken today, and we can't swipe the card. I'm very sorry."

"Ah? Why is this!" Jim went to look into his wallet, only 600 yuan.

"Let me do it!" Zhu Zhifang took out his wallet, took out a stack of RMB, and put it on the table.

"How can I ask you to pay for it!" Jim said while asking Susan to open the wallet, and finally collected 900 yuan.

Seeing Zhu Zhifang stuffing the money into his wallet again, he seemed a little unhappy.

13. How to win her heart back

Walking out of the coffee shop, Lily and Susan went to the shopping mall as originally planned, and Jim and Li Lei also said that they wanted to walk around, leaving Zhu Zhifang alone, and Lily told him to go back first. .He was also happy, and drove back in the car.

"Boy, you are really rich." Jim said looking at the BMW x5 that Zhu Zhifang was driving away.

"The posture of giving money just now is just a rich man, who would bring so much cash with him when he goes out!" Jim continued.

"Okay! Don't be jealous!" Li Lei persuaded.

"I'm not jealous, I'm angry because of you!" Jim continued, "The way he looks, he still thinks he's great, huh!"

"You see, I'm doing this for you, and you don't even say a word." Jim seemed a little annoyed.

"Hehe, thank you!" Li Lei patted Jim on the shoulder and said.

"You are really, alas, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the minister is in a hurry!" Jim sighed to himself.

"Hehe, you really know how to 'Gates'. Just pretend to be you!" Li Lei said.

"You don't know how to pretend, you don't know how to pretend, why didn't you talk when you saw Lily today?" Jim then asked, "Well, what are you going to do next?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, help me think about it!"

"You, you didn't cherish such a good opportunity today. If you compete with Na Zhu, who will be afraid of who!" Jim said.

"It's Zhu Zhifang." Li Lei corrected him.

"I don't care what he does, I'm just worried!" Jim said more and more excitedly.

"Let's find a place to sit down, and we'll have a private talk with Lily sometime in the next two days." Li Lei said.

"Okay!" Jim agreed.

At this time, Lily and Susan were wandering around the department store.

"What are you going to do?" Susan asked Lily.

"I don't know either." Lily replied honestly.

"Look, Li Lei has come all the way here. He cares about you very much. Do you and Zhu Zhifang really like each other?" Susan asked.

"He likes mine," Lily replied.

"The point is your feelings. If he likes you and you don't like him, how will you live your life? How can this be called an ideal marriage?" Susan educated Lily with an old-fashioned tone.

"But, even if I really like Li Lei, but he doesn't really like me, isn't that the same?" Lily felt a little wronged, tears rolled in her big eyes, and the struggling tears lingered around, but they finally didn't fall.

Susan hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Lily.

"My good sister, why are you so stupid? No matter what, you can't joke about your life's event! In my opinion, Li Lei's ability to come all the way today shows that he has intentions. Why don't you give him What about a chance?"

"When is he leaving?" Lily asked.

"I really don't know about this. Today is Saturday. I guess I have to rush back tomorrow, if I didn't ask for leave from the unit." Susan guessed.

"Oh, then what do you think I should do?"

"Why don't we go to my house for dinner tonight, anyway, Jim and I are pretty good at cooking, and we all know each other well, so it's good to get together." Susan suggested.

"Alright then!" Lily agreed.

So, Susan called Jim and said that they would have dinner together at her home tonight, and she would buy the food by herself.

Then, the two moved directly from the mall to the supermarket.

It seems that Lily really doesn't have the habit of cooking.When I go to the supermarket, I look at this and that. I really don’t know what kind of food can be cooked with what kind of ingredients.

Susan, however, was different.While pushing the cart, he said that the bamboo shoots are the best when they are braised in oil; the purple-skinned eggplants are delicious when made with minced meat; even when buying meat, the front and rear legs are clearly separated...

Lily secretly admired Susan's ability to manage the house, and secretly thought that if she had a family in the future, she would also cook special dishes for her husband like Susan, and laughed to herself while thinking about it.

"What are you laughing at?" Susan patted Lily on the head with a cucumber.

"It's nothing." Lily said while touching her head, she couldn't hide a little sweetness in her heart.

The two went straight to Jim's house after buying groceries.

14. Lily's concerns

When Lily and Susan got home, Jim and Li Lei had already arrived.

"What's for dinner today?" Jim asked.

"What do you say?" Susan asked.Then he went on to say, "We bought a lot of vegetables, how about I make you burgers?"

"I don't want it anymore. I have western food for lunch, but don't you have Chinese food for dinner?" Jim suggested.

"How about we eat beef hot pot!" Susan suggested, "I just bought a lot of fresh beef today!"

"Okay! I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time!" Lily agreed.

"Okay, I'll go get ready, you guys watch TV and chat here." After finishing speaking, Susan put on her apron and went into the kitchen.

"Honey, I'll help you." Jim also quickly ran into the kitchen.Only Li Lei and Lily were left in the living room.

"Which channel do you want to watch, I'll transfer it to you." Li Lei said a little embarrassed.

"Anything will do," Lily said.

"There shouldn't be a 'random station' on this TV!" Li Lei deliberately joked.

"Hey." Lily also smiled.

At this moment, Jim poked his head out of the kitchen to peek at them both.

"Wife, look at them, I don't know what they are talking about, so happy." Jim said to Susan.

"Don't worry about it, I guess, they are almost inseparable, and they can do it!" Susan said while cutting the beef.

"Nowadays……"

"Today..." I saw that the two of them finally talked, but they repeated themselves.

"You talk first." Li Lei gave way to Lily.

"You should speak first."

"Women come first." Li Lei said.

"Today, you came here early in the morning, right?" Lily asked.

"Ah."

"Then when are we leaving?"

"I didn't ask for leave. I have to go back tomorrow afternoon." Li Lei replied.

"Oh." Lily stopped asking.

"That... that Zhu Zhifang is your fiancé, right?"

"Yeah." Lily nodded and said, "I called you that morning, sorry, I was a little drunk."

"It doesn't matter, but Lily, if you are alone outside, you should take care of yourself." Li Lei instructed.

"Well, I know that."

"Is your work going well in Shanghai?" Li Lei asked.

"Well, it's not bad. After all these years, I'm familiar with it."

"Have you ever thought about going back to the place where you went to middle school?" Li Lei finally said this sentence.
