love me don't hide

Chapter 17 Although I don't want to admit it, but I seem to... like you (2)
The development of the situation really made William dumbfounded. It is difficult for an upright official to break up housework. He suddenly felt that the more he helped, the more busy he was, so he simply ignored it and tidied up the tables and chairs to prepare for closing.

After coming out of the "old place", Qu Jingxuan didn't go directly to pick up the car, but walked around Outer Ring Street with Li Hongye.

Both sides of the road are full of fiery red maples. Every season, the streets are as dreamy and gorgeous as scenes in fairy tales.The neon lights at night change colors, and the originally beautiful red maple leaves become indistinguishable.

Li Hongye walked under a maple tree, looked up silently at the leaves changing colors under the light.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing her suddenly stop, Qu Jingxuan couldn't help raising his head, looking at the maple leaves whose colors could not be discerned under the night.

"Do you know? My name means autumn maple leaf." She withdrew her gaze and looked at Qu Jingxuan, "Only autumn maple leaves are red. I want you to remember me."

"Do you think I'll forget your name?" Qu Jingxuan thought it was unnecessary for her to do so. He didn't have Alzheimer's disease, so how could he forget her name?

"It's obviously a red maple leaf, and you can't see the color at night, let alone a person? What I want you to remember is not my name, but me." She was very happy today, but he also said, She is not as good as Pei Jia, maybe one day there will be a girl who is better than her and closer to Pei Jia, maybe he will move on.

What's wrong with her?Just now he was so relentless in bickering with him, but now he suddenly became melancholy?
"Li Hongye, you are already here with me." Qu Jingxuan said, pointing to the position of his heart, "I have already put you in and locked the door, without my permission, even if you want to come out .”

Li Hongye looked at him with a little surprise, it turned out that such a proud person like him can also say sweet words of love.

The two walked side by side on Outer Ring Street for a while, and then Qu Jingxuan went to pick up the car and sent her back to Zhong's apartment.

Before Li Hongye walked into the apartment, Qu Jingxuan seemed to think of something: "Li Hongye, I have asked the people below to investigate about your cousin, and there will be news soon."

Li Hongye nodded gratefully: "Thank you."

"Tonight's question, when can you tell me your answer?" Qu Jingxuan pursed his lips and looked at her expectantly. She hadn't answered whether she liked him too.

"I'll tell you the answer when I'm in a good mood." Li Hongye raised her chin triumphantly, then turned around and walked quickly into the apartment.

Qu Jingxuan stood there in a daze, watching her receding figure disappear into his sight.

After a long time, he came back to his senses. She actually said that she would give him an answer when she was in a good mood. Could it be that she was in a bad mood today?

Back in the car, a smile unconsciously appeared on his reddish cheeks.

Unexpectedly, today he actually confessed his love.

All this seems to be attributed to Shen Jiyang, if not for him, I would not have the courage to confess.

But when he thought of Shen Jiyang, his heart couldn't help becoming heavy again.How should he tell Shen Jiyang about confessing to Li Hongye?In the afternoon, he still stubbornly refused to admit that he liked Li Hongye, and at night he rushed to confess his love, wondering if Shen Jiyang would be angry with him?

He sighed helplessly, started the car, and the black BMW sped away in the night.

Early the next morning.

When Li Hongye and Zhong Xiaoyu came out of Zhong's house, they saw a black BMW parked outside the apartment.

Seeing them coming out, Qu Jingxuan immediately poked his head out of the window next to the driver's seat and waved to them: "Hello, this way."

Zhong Xiaoyu paused, and looked at the opposite car in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the boy who was smiling and waving at them was Qu Jingxuan.

Li Hongye didn't seem too surprised, walked over with a smile, and naturally opened the door of the passenger seat and got in.

Zhong Xiaoyu didn't know how he got into the car, but felt that what happened in front of him was too unbelievable.

"How did you come to pick me up?" When she saw his car just now, for a moment, Li Hongye thought she was dazzled. She didn't believe that it was really him who came to pick her up from school until he poked his head out and waved at her.

"Don't you still owe me an answer? Before I get the answer, I will pick you up from school every day."

"Then I think I need to think about it longer, so that we can have free drivers every day." Li Hongye couldn't help but feel very satisfied with her "plan".

Qu Jingxuan glanced at her sideways, and shook his head helplessly: "Aren't you afraid that I'll become someone else's driver before I get your answer?" This implied that if she thought about it for too long, he might fall in love with someone else.

Li Hongye raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be thoughtful and said: "Then you have to think about it a little longer. If you can't stand such a test, then you don't need to be a driver."

Qu Jingxuan was very helpless.

Why is she winning every fight, it's not fair.

When they were talking very naturally, Zhong Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the back seat, was dumbfounded, as if he hadn't reacted from their conversation.

Why do they speak like lovers?Is it his illusion?
Shen Jiyang has a heart for Li Hongye, he knows it, but when did Qu Jingxuan start to have contact with Li Hongye?Could it be because of the library thing last time?
Whether it is Shen Jiyang or Qu Jingxuan, whenever he thinks that Li Hongye has a boy besides himself, he will feel very bad.He couldn't explain why he was in such a mood, but in short, he didn't want her to associate with anyone.

He hoped that she would always be that Li Hongye who was superior and arrogant to everyone, instead of the girl who chatted and laughed easily with Qu Jingxuan now.

While thinking about it, Qu Jingxuan's car had already arrived at the school gate of Tianxing College. The school has a special driveway and parking garage, and the parking garage in the second teaching area where he is located is some distance from the first teaching area. In the classroom, he parked the car at the school gate.

"I'll look for you later." Qu Jingxuan opened the car door for Li Hongye in a gentlemanly manner. This action attracted the attention of many students around, and they all cast surprised glances.

In their impression, President Huangcheng's car has never picked up girls.Or should I say, since Pei Jia, a talented girl from Tianxing, passed away, he has never looked at any girl in the eye.

When they saw that the girl who got out of the car was Li Hongye, they couldn't help being even more shocked.

Could it be that the "Library Overnight Incident" that happened before is the fuse for them to enter and leave the school in the same car now?
"See you during the lunch break." Li Hongye glanced at the bell tower standing not far away. It was only ten minutes before class started. Qu Jingxuan parked the car and walked from the garage of the second teaching area to her classroom. There is simply not enough time.The 10 minutes between classes is not enough for him to come from the second teaching area to the first teaching area.So the most suitable time is lunch break.

"Okay." After speaking, he returned to the car, started the car and drove into the dedicated lane.

Since revealing his feelings, Qu Jingxuan seems to be a different person, a gentleman, gentle, completely a gentleman, gentle as jade, this is probably the power of love.

After he left, Li Hongye and Zhong Xiaoyu walked towards their classroom.

Along the way, Zhong Xiaoyu looked displeased: "When did you... start?"

Li Hongye paused, then turned to look at him blankly: "Us? Me and Qu Jingxuan? We haven't started yet." It's just that Qu Jingxuan confessed that she hasn't agreed yet, so this shouldn't be counted as the beginning.

Hearing her answer like this, his face turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant.

Noticing the change in his expression, Li Hongye frowned, remembering what Jin Yasha said.

He wouldn't really like her, would he?Because he likes her, he is hostile to Shen Jiyang and Qu Jingxuan; because he likes her, he stands up to stop Pei Xin when he wants to hit her.

But this liking made her feel uneasy.She has always regarded him as a younger brother.Just like she forced him to call her cousin, she didn't really care about the title, but put herself in such a seniority and position very formally.

Not long after entering the classroom, Jin Yasha appeared in the classroom of Li Hongye's class as scheduled.

Looking at her pair of watery eyes that were shining with gossip, Li Hongye knew that she must have come to inquire about what happened this morning.

"Idol, you are very mean. A few days ago, you obviously said that you have nothing to do with the president, but today he picked you up to school." Jin Yasha bumped Li Hongye's arm with her shoulder, and said teasingly.

Zhong Xiaoyu seemed very dissatisfied with her words, and forcibly pulled her away from Li Hongye: "It's just picking us up for school, it doesn't mean that my cousin has anything to do with him."

Jin Yasha glanced at him: "Of course you think that your cousin and the boss are nothing. You just have a crush on your cousin. You wish all the boys would keep her at arm's length, right?"

"You... What nonsense are you talking about? How...how could I have a crush on my cousin?" Zhong Xiaoyu's face flushed all of a sudden, and his speech became hesitant.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Jin Yasha couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm talking about the central issue, right? You're so stuttering that you can't even speak clearly."

"Yasha." Li Hongye said in a deep voice.

Jin Yasha stuck out her tongue and stopped hitting Zhong Xiaoyu.

"Idol, let's talk about you and the president." Jin Yasha stared at Li Hongye with eyes full of thirst for knowledge, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

"You should ask him about me and him."

The best way to put an end to gossip is to shirk responsibility.Of course, she felt that Jin Yasha would not really ask Qu Jingxuan.So that's it for now.

Jin Yasha was obviously disappointed that she didn't get the news she wanted, but she was still very excited when she thought of Li Hongye and Qu Jingxuan's development.

When the class bell rang, she got up and was about to leave. Before leaving, she suddenly turned her head and said encouragingly: "Idol, come on, I am optimistic about you and the president."

Li Hongye couldn't help chuckling, Jin Yasha is really cute, although sometimes she can be too lively.

Most importantly, she is very interested in everything that happens around her.Every time something happened, she would appear by her side immediately, or if she received any news in advance, she would notify herself as soon as possible, just like the last time Pei Xin planned to use volleyball against herself in physical education class.

Although Li Hongye has a fourth-degree black belt in karate, her ability to perform other sports is in a mess. Fortunately, the teacher did not force her to participate in the competition that day, otherwise she would really be bullied by Pei Xin.

Speaking of Pei Xin, why didn't she come to trouble herself today?

When they had nothing to do before, Pei Xin always liked to falsely accuse her of wanting to snatch Qu Jingxuan away. This morning she got out of Qu Jingxuan's car in full view. This matter spread quickly. Why did Pei Xin not make any noise? ?

The peaceful morning passed quickly, and as soon as the lunch break came, Jin Yasha immediately appeared in front of her, waiting with her for Qu Jingxuan to appear.

About 10 minutes later, Li Hongye received a text message from Qu Jingxuan, asking her to find him in the VIP area of ​​the cafeteria.

So Zhong Xiaoyu and Jin Yasha competed to be her flower protectors, but one of them wanted to monitor her and Qu Jingxuan to prevent them from getting too close, while the other wanted to watch the excitement.

When they came to the cafeteria, Qu Jingxuan poked his head out from the VIP area on the second floor and waved at them, and Li Hongye went up to the VIP area on the second floor with "two tails".

When Qu Jingxuan noticed the two people beside Li Hongye, his gentle expression quickly became serious.

"President, don't you mind if I come over for lunch?" Jin Yasha ran up to Qu Jingxuan with the camera in her hand. "So much, President, can you finish it?"

Qu Jingxuan gently rubbed his nose with his knuckles, and looked at Li Hongye with a little embarrassment: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered a few random ones, there should be something you like?"

"President, you are so casual and complete." Jin Yasha took the camera to the table and shot wildly, and said like a commentator, "This is the first lunch prepared by the president for the idol. Thirteen kinds of dishes, a combination of Chinese and Western, can be described as painstaking."

"Jin Yasha..." Qu Jingxuan bit his lip and growled.

Jin Yasha immediately put away the camera in her hand, and stood aside obediently.

Seeing his thoughtful preparations, Zhong Xiaoyu glanced at Li Hongye worriedly, as if waiting for her to say no, because Mother Zhong had already prepared lunch for them.But she didn't say anything, she went straight to Qu Jingxuan and sat down.

"I like this, this, and this..." Li Hongye pointed to the five or six dishes on the table one by one, and then said with a smile, "Next time you invite me to dinner, you should know what to order for me, right?"

Rather than ordering everything, of course it is more satisfying to choose what she likes.

Her movements were too fast, Qu Jingxuan couldn't remember: "Say it again."

"No." Li Hongye raised his chin and smiled complacently, "Now you can choose one for me. If I don't like it, then I won't eat it."

"Test me?" Qu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of smiles.

"This is about my answer."

Jin Yasha couldn't help being stunned by Li Hongye's reassurance. She had never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant in front of the president.If it was someone else, I'm afraid he would have been angry long ago, right?
Qu Jingxuan sighed, his eyes wandered among more than a dozen dishes, and then he reached out and brought a plate of pineapple rice in front of Li Hongye.

"Cousin, what should I do with the bento prepared by my mother?" Zhong Xiaoyu said as he took out two bento boxes from the thermal bag.

Li Hongye got up, walked in front of him, and took the bento box.

"Qu Jingxuan, you have two choices, one is to help me eat my bento, and the other is to eat the bento myself, then the pineapple rice will be yours." After Li Hongye finished speaking, he put the bento box on the table, "My cousin's cooking skills are quite good."

"Since you said that your cousin's cooking skills are good, of course I want to give it a try." Qu Jingxuan said, opened the lunch box, two meat and two vegetables, the nutrition is quite balanced, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the vegetables, carefully Chewing and tasting.

At this time, Li Hongye didn't start to eat, but stared at him with his chin resting on his hands.

After two mouthfuls of food, Qu Jingxuan seemed to have noticed the gaze of the three of them, so he stopped his chopsticks: "You two, either go down, or take the food to the side to eat, and stop staring at me."

With an order, Jin Yasha immediately took a salad from the table, and then dragged Zhong Xiaoyu to a table beside her.

Putting away his gaze on them, Qu Jingxuan picked up his chopsticks to eat again.

Li Hongye just watched him silently, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.The way he eats is very elegant, and his chewing movements are very gentle. Since seeing the way he eats bread last time, she seems to like the way he eats.

"I look good when I eat?" He was serious, as if he was talking about something very serious.

"Then I won't watch it." She said, picked up a spoon and started eating pineapple rice.

After lunch, Qu Jingxuan originally wanted to hang out with Li Hongye, but Zhong Xiaoyu and Jin Yasha followed her side by side, which made him feel a little depressed.In desperation, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking a walk with her and let them go back to the classroom for a lunch break.
