20 dinner
When Xie Jingchen interrogated Liu Kuo, he asked a lot of questions. One of them was, "What is the relationship between An Ruqiao and rl."
Liu Kuo didn't know much about RL, and he wasn't as willing to share his "good things" as he was willing to reveal them, except for An Ruqiao.
Liu Kuo told Xie Jingchen that An Ruqiao was the next prophet of the rl organization, that is, the successor to the leader. He also said that this sentence was said by their great prophet himself, and it was not false at all.
But Liu Kuo also said that he didn't know An Ruqiao was An Ruqiao.
This seems very convoluted.
It was only after everything happened that Liu Kuo found out that his favorite prey was the legendary heir to the prophet. But after knowing it, he had no fear or fear.
The heir is the heir, not the current great prophet.
Moreover, Liu Kuo was a little complacent, thinking that he had a good eye for people.
Xie Jingchen was surprised that Liu Kuo was so frank. After a polygraph examination, Xie Jingchen believed that he was telling the truth.
What followed was a psychological exploration of An Ruqiao.
It is said that curiosity is the beginning of a man's attraction. Xie Jingchen is also very conflicted now. On the one hand, his good impression of An Ruqiao is genuine, but on the other hand, he is hostile to the RL organization.
Therefore, after struggling for several days, Xie Jingchen decided to take the initiative and drove to the hospital gate to pick up An Ruqiao after get off work, and took her to eat Jiangsu and Zhejiang home-cooked food that suited her taste as he said last time.
But today... I clearly felt that An Ruqiao was a little cold.
In previous contacts, An Ruqiao was always the more proactive one. She even said "I like him" in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She was gentle, considerate, and a little cunning and seductive to him.
Now the sudden coldness made Xie Jingchen feel a little uncomfortable.
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Jingchen asked her: "Are you... tired from work?" After asking, he felt like he was asking nonsense. Working in a big hospital must be tiring. You can tell by looking at her tired look.
An Ruqiao was closing her eyes and concentrating. When she heard this question, she raised her eyes to look at him. It didn't make him too embarrassed, so she answered the question.
"I've had a few surgeries, and now I'm a little sleepy." This sleepiness is the result of relaxing after being nervous and excited.
After realizing this, An Ruqiao suddenly found that it was strange that it was easy for her to settle down and relax her nerves around Xie Jingchen.
She moved a little, sat up straight, and cheered up.
"What about you? How's your case going?"
Hearing her ask about the case, Xie Jingchen suddenly tensed up.
Is it a casual question, or is it a deliberate inquiry?
"It's almost done. I've been busy with related matters these days, sorting out records, keeping files, etc., and I'm waiting for the verdict later."
The red light countdown was over, the car behind honked its horn, and Xie Jingchen drove forward again.
He was even in the mood to secretly complain in his mind: Honking the horn is of no use, and you won't get anywhere if you do.
After hearing this, An Ruqiao nodded, "That's it, okay." Then she lost interest and closed her eyes again.
Xie Jingchen's car should be sent for maintenance frequently, and the car aromatherapy also has a very light and fresh agarwood scent. Now she opened some windows, and the comfortable smell made her drowsy.
She was even thinking in a daze, if all taxis and express trains could keep the smell in their cars so fresh, then she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable when she usually rides in the car.
Gone? Gone now?
While waiting for An Ruqiao to ask further questions, Xie Jingchen only waited for silence.
Wouldn't she ask further?
Shouldn't we inquire for information?
An Ruqiao's unexpected way of responding caught him off guard.
At another intersection, when the light turned green, Xie Jingchen turned around. He wanted to say a few more words to An Ruqiao, but he saw An Ruqiao leaning on the seat, her thin lips slightly open, and her breathing steady.
Fell asleep?
All the doubts and vigilance in my heart disappeared at this moment, leaving only the good feeling in my heart that kept fermenting.
A quiet, obedient beautiful woman is always born with a filter that makes people fall in love with her. What's more, An Ruqiao really knows how to use discretion, making it difficult for people to feel bad.
It's tiring to go to work, right? It's a job like the chief surgeon in a tertiary hospital, which consumes both physical and mental energy. It's normal to be tired.
It's still twenty minutes' drive from the private restaurant, so let her sleep a little longer.
When An Ruqiao woke up, her car was parked in the small parking lot in front of the private restaurant. Xie Jingchen was looking at her. When he saw her waking up and looking into each other's eyes, he moved his eyes away again.
An Ruqiao sat up, her eyes were a little dry, and she wanted to rub her eyes, but held back.
"Are you here? How long have you been waiting?"
"It won't take long, let's go, that's the house opposite."
Then the two got out of the car and went to have dinner.
An Ruqiao picked up her phone and looked at it. It was eight forty. More than two hours had passed since she got off work.
Why didn't Xie Jingchen wake her up?
An Ruqiao suddenly became angry.
I was a little angry at myself for believing in this man so much that I actually fell asleep next to him.
She was also a little angry at this man who indulged her and waited for so long in vain. She didn't know if he kept looking at her, which made her feel a little... a little weirdly embarrassed.
She never thought that she would ever feel "embarrassed".
She looked back at the passenger seat.
It was all because the seat was so comfortable, it gave her a sense of security similar to that of nesting on her own sofa.
The private restaurant has two floors, a lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. Xie Jingchen booked a small private room on the second floor in advance.
The tables and chairs in the small private room are for four people to dine. They are similar to those in the hall, but more refined. The main reason is that the special private dishes provided in the private room are different from those in the hall, and the relatively closed environment is suitable for talking.
It's not easy to reserve a private room here. Xie Jingchen booked this private room and asked it to be reserved for two hours, which used some of the family's resources.
Xie Jingchen ordered the dishes when he made the reservation, including three dishes and one soup, including crab meat and lion head, steamed sea bass, stir-fried vegetables, and Pingqiao tofu soup.
Not long after they sat down, the food was served, all at once.
Huaiyang cuisine mostly pursues the original flavor and nature, using mostly fresh ingredients from rivers and lakes. In cooking, we strive to bring out the freshness and fragrance of the ingredients. The taste is relatively light, and has the concept of "harmony, essence, freshness and freshness".
Three dishes and one soup are served, all in color and aroma, and the freshness will make you greedy.
Without any politeness, he just used the chopsticks.
First, scoop a spoonful of Pingqiao tofu. After entering your mouth, you can savor the smooth, tender and delicious flavor of the tofu. An Ruqiao is absorbed in the delicious food.
Xie Jingchen was opposite, looking at An Ruqiao from time to time, feeling troubled.
If she asks about it later, how should I answer? Should I tell her everything?
Then she thought again, if she doesn't ask later, what will she do? Should she still test it?
