Chapter 109: Keep Your Distance(1/2)
The two of them followed each other to the milk tea shop on the second floor of the shopping mall. It was not as full as expected, and there were even a few empty seats.
Looking at the railing outside, someone is lying on it with a cup of milk tea in hand, watching the activities below.
It turned out that they all went out to watch the event.
Zhang Haidong took Du Xiaoyin to a seat, then got up and walked to the front desk to order milk tea.
The waiter smiled and pursed his lips, signaling to Zhang Haidong in his eyes.
Zhang Haidong followed her gaze and saw it was Du Xiaoyin.
His whole face turned red and he quickly explained: "She is the cousin of Director Wu Yaowu. She is a friend. She just returned to China recently and happened to be doing activities in the mall today, so she came too. She accidentally fell down just now.
, it hurts a bit, so I just want to sit here and let me treat her to a cup of milk tea."
"Understand, understand."
"Director Zhang, don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth."
The waiter looked like he understood.
"By the way, what kind of milk tea do you want? There are a lot of people today, and there are coupons, so I can give you two cups."
"It's not what you think..."
Zhang Haidong wanted to explain, but scratched his head and decided to forget it.
"Two cups of cherry flavor."
"Same as last time! Your taste is quite unique... You should be taking care of her..."
The waiter made another grimace and turned around and went in.
Zhang Haidong was so anxious that he scratched his head.
Now I was really misunderstood.
If I hadn't subconsciously fallen down, I wouldn't be like this now.
It's better not to be spread by others.
He was so anxious that he couldn't think of any good solution. After waiting for two cups of milk tea to come out, he sat down in front of Du Xiaoyin.
Seeing Zhang Haidong personally delivering the cherry-flavored milk tea to his hand, Du Xiaoyin drank it happily.
Zhang Haidong, on the other hand, was full of things on his mind. He drank and turned around to look around, feeling a little absent-minded.
"Hey, can you be more serious? I'm still hurting. You're so perfunctory about drinking milk tea with me. You really have no conscience!"
Du Xiaoyin pouted and said.
"Ah I……"
Zhang Haidong came back to his senses and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Listening to the roar of laughter from the customers outside, it must be that some couple is having an embarrassing moment again.
"No. I'm sorry. I'm still a little worried about any problems with the activity. I'm a little nervous. Don't worry about it."
He explained with a smile.
"idiot."
Du Xiaoyin smiled.
"Tell me, how did you come up with this activity? It's so entertaining!"
"Hi……"
Zhang Haidong smiled and scratched his head: "When I was a kid, watching other people get married, the bride was the one that the guests teased the most. Every time the bride and groom were embarrassed, the whole house laughed, so I thought of such a show. Anyway, so many people hold it together.
Activities, let’s create a festive atmosphere together.”
"Wow, really, it's so creative and immersive. What my sister said is true, you are really a genius in marketing planning. Hey, how about this, can we go down and give it a try? You
Paint, I guess, to see if we have a tacit understanding. Okay?"
Du Xiaoyin came over and asked softly.
"No! That's not possible..."
Zhang Haidong quickly waved his hand and refused.
"This event is for couples. We are just friends. If we participate together, we will be misunderstood by others."
"What are you afraid of? It's just for fun. It's not what you're doing. Who could misunderstand me! You are the organizer, why can't you participate in the competition? Besides, I don't care. What are you, a grown man, afraid of..."
Du Xiaoyin said seductively.
Silly girl!
Your sister is the first one to kill me, okay?
There are so many acquaintances, not to mention my wife and children at home...
Of course, you can't tell Du Xiaoyin so directly.
Zhang Haidong organized his words, and then said slowly: "That's not what I meant. Think about it, I am an old married man, and I took you with me to the couple's event in the shopping mall, so others don't
Did you misunderstand that we are lovers? It doesn’t matter if you misunderstand me. I am naturally thick-skinned. You are a girl and you don’t have a boyfriend yet. It would be bad if word spread. So... let’s forget it.”
This should be considered the most pertinent answer.
"I don't mind. What do you mind? There are so many DINKs now. At worst, I won't get married for the rest of my life. It's great to be single, single aristocrat."
Du Xiaoyin said against his will, then raised his voice and said: "I have been thrown into such a state by you, and I came here to celebrate the festival with you. Are you unwilling to fulfill my little wish? Just a small performance.
desire."
She acted coquettishly.
She thought that any man of flesh and blood would fall into this kind of coquettishness.
…
She thought wrong.
"No, I am a principled person in doing things. I really can't break the bottom line. In this way, I have almost finished my milk tea. I will go out and watch the activities in the mall first. You sit here and drink first.
If you need anything, just send me a WeChat message and I'll be there shortly, okay?"
Zhang Haidong drank the rest of the milk tea in one breath, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hey, don't leave..."
Du Xiaoyin took Zhang Haidong's hand.
"I'm just kidding you. You don't have to be like this. How long have you been sitting with me? Please sit with me for a while longer."
She begged softly.
"It's really not possible. In addition to the activities in the mall, I also have to take care of the logistics of the female models. If there is no water or snacks, I have to rush to get it. After all, everyone is so tired. Isn't it a comparison?
Just sit here for a while, and if you need anything, just call me on WeChat. I'll come over to help as soon as I'm done."
Zhang Haidong said.
"All right……"
Du Xiaoyin's eyes were full of disappointment: "Then just accept this gift. I don't mean anything else, it's really just a thought. Just consider it a gift for us just getting to know each other."
Seeing that he really couldn't keep Zhang Haidong, Du Xiaoyin took out the gift again.
"I really can't accept it, Miss Du. You can keep it like this. Maybe we will become particularly good friends one day. Do you think it's okay if I accept it again?"
"you……"
Du Xiaoyin's Qi knot.
Zhang Haidong refused to take hard or soft measures, for fear of getting closer to him.
Do you scare him that much?
"It's okay if you don't accompany me. I drove here today and will take you home tonight. If you don't even agree to this, I won't let you go!"
Du Xiaoyin said and hugged Zhang Haidong's arm tightly.
this……
Zhang Haidong looked up and saw that the waiter and people around him were looking at him.
That look is like...
He hurriedly said: "I have to pay everyone's wages after twelve o'clock in the evening before I can get off work. Why don't you go back and rest early? I'm afraid you'll have to wait until then..."
"I am not tired!"
"I'm just waiting for you to get off work together. If you don't agree, don't leave."
Du Xiaoyin started to mess around.
"Ah? Promise, promise. I promise you."
Zhang Haidong agreed, and Du Xiaoyin let go of his arm.
