The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 67

Ji Zhandong's apartment is located in a prime location in the residential area of ​​T City. It is secluded amidst the noise and the environment is pleasant. But the most important point is that it is not far from Huo Xiyin's work place. It took her less than a quarter of an hour to get to the unit.

As soon as Huo Xiyin sat down, Xiao Junli knocked on the table: "Why are you here so late today? It's already 09:30."

"The leader just came?"

"No, but you missed the show." Xiao Junli looked mysterious, shaking a finger in front of her non-stop, "Want to know what it is? Want to know? Call me Miss Xiao."

Huo Xiyin cooperated with her meaningfully: "Yes, Miss Xiao, please speak quickly."

Huo Xiyin squinted her starry eyes, stroked her chest, and laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Do you still remember Chen Yu's girlfriend named Xia Yang? She agreed to Chen Yu's marriage proposal today!"

Huo Xiyin was stunned for a moment this time, and didn't know what to say for a long while.Xiao Junli was very satisfied with her expression, and she couldn't help amplifying her voice: "I didn't expect it, did I? It seems that Chen Yu proposed a while ago, but today the heroine only agreed. So today our Master Chen Yu came from work. I have been in a dream state until now, with a smile on my face like a flower. I guess even if I borrow money from him today, he will lend it to you without hesitation."

"Well, I really didn't expect it." Huo Xiyin finally recovered, paused, and said, "Why are you happy when Chen Yu is married?"

"Because I have a great personality, I think beautiful men should find true love and live happily ever after. However, several beauties in our office have their hearts broken. If you go to the pantry now, you will probably find a lot of water on the ground." , that's not ordinary water, it's the tears of a beautiful woman."

Huo Xiyin burst out laughing: "Go ahead and play tricks."

Huo Xiyin came home with a bad luck today. Not only was she late for work in the morning, but at noon when she was joking with Xiao Junli, someone accidentally splashed egg noodles with tomato on her arm. It's a small trouble, so when she got off work half an hour late, Huo Xiyin's temper was like a balloon on the verge of bursting, and she couldn't stand any more provocations.

While waiting for the taxi in front of the office building, she thought idly that maybe she should really think about what Ji Zhandong said to her when she was leaving this morning.

At that time, she was in a hurry to go to work, but Ji Zhandong was not in a hurry. He first asked her if she wanted breakfast, then offered to send her to work, and finally said: "Actually, it's getting late, you Why don't you just ask for a day off, get a good night's sleep, and go on Monday."

At that time, Huo Xiyin threw the pillow beside her hand: "You can talk about this when I become the boss in my next life."

Ji Zhandong took the pillow steadily, and still smiled calmly and calmly behind her: "It's not impossible in this life."

Now that Huo Xiyin thought about it, she realized how correct Ji Zhandong's words were. She didn't have a good day today, so maybe it's better to stay at home honestly.

And when she turned her head and found an old man standing not far away, she regretted even more why she didn't adopt Ji Zhandong's words this morning.

Xia Weiyang obviously noticed her too, she paused slightly, and then asked uncertainly: "Huo Xiyin?"

Huo Xiyin sighed secretly in her heart, she and Xia Yi really deserved to be mother and daughter, they even greeted each other in exactly the same tone and sentences.

Then the slender figure walked towards this side.Xia Weiyang is wearing a light purple dress, holding a parasol, her steps are a bit hurried, but still has her own style and elegance.

I remember Shen Jing once said: "I have met Xia Weiyang twice, but I have never said a word. However, her face is really unforgettable to me, and her temperament is also like yours, especially when she raises her chin. Like. But Xiyin, although I don't like her, but I have to say something fair, she is much more obedient and quiet than you when she smiles."

Huo Xiyin also agreed with this.She and Xia Weiyang seem to have only met twice.The first time was two years ago in the Huo family's mansion, Xia Weiyang watched her and Xia Yi's quarrel without grace without saying a word, and the second time is now.

She also couldn't forget her face, she had inherited most of Huo Changqing's appearance, and she was so similar to her.

Xia Weiyang stood still in front of her, Huo Xiyin looked at her and smiled faintly: "Are you okay?"

Ji Zhandong can pretend to laugh, Huo Xiyin has been with him for a long time, and this skill has been honed more than a little.

Xia Weiyang looked at her with a complicated expression, her voice was soft: "Are you free tonight? I want to chat with you."

Huo Xiyin glanced back at the office building. The light in Chen Yu's office was still on. She turned her head and smiled slightly at her: "You didn't come here to see me, did you? Just leave Chen Yu alone like this." Come chat with me?"

What Huo Xiyin said made her feel a little guilty. She tried her best to look calm and breezy, but she found that she still couldn't have Ji Zhandong's advanced skills after all.At best, she could only show a calm appearance and a calm reply. As for his tolerance and calmness, she could not successfully replicate it.

Later, she must ask Ji Zhandong if he also felt so uncomfortable and uncomfortable when he was pretending.

Xia Weiyang pondered for a while, and said: "Wait a minute, don't leave yet, I'll make a phone call, and I'll be fine right away."

She left a few steps to call Chen Yu, Huo Xiyin didn't intend to listen, but the intermittent soft female voice came over mixed with the breeze: "Yes, it's rare... Thank you, Chen Yu... No, I'll take a taxi back later That's good...well, thanks."

Then she came back, tilted her head slightly at her, and smiled sweetly: "Let's go. Do you want tea or something? I know there are a few teahouses, and they are pretty good."

If Xia Weiyang was not in front of her eyes, but just on the phone, or if it was Chen Yulai who spoke for her that day, Huo Xiyin reckoned that she would be able to reject it neatly.But what troubles her the most is this kind of firm and gentle attitude, she can't refuse, but she is not willing to do so, when Ji Zhandong treats her like this, she can never handle it, and now Xia Weiyang has also hit her weakness.

The two sat opposite each other in a teahouse. There was a slight silence at the beginning. Huo Xiyin made up his mind not to speak up. Later, Xia Weiyang asked: "Is work going well here? Chen Yu sometimes has a bad temper, but he is still a good person." .”

She nodded: "Very good."

Although Huo Xiyin didn't want to admit it, she was really a little lost.It's hard for her to accept Xia Weiyang's appearance of being such a gentle and caring sister.She couldn't deal with her with the same poisonous tongue that she used to deal with Xia Yi, and she didn't want to just cooperate with her. She sat a little stiffly, unable to lie or be cold-faced, so she could only smile.

"I've been away for a few years, but I still think T City is good when I come back." Xia Weiyang tilted her head and smiled softly at her, "I heard you're engaged, right?"

Huo Xiyin smiled: "Yes."

"congratulations."

"Congratulations." Huo Xiyin felt that this kind of conversation was really tiring. She didn't want to lose her demeanor, and she didn't want to discuss too many topics. Everyone is happy for you."

"Why?" Xia Weiyang asked, and then came back to her senses, with a bit of sudden realization, but still with a decent smile, "Understood, the boss is in a good mood, so you can relax too."

Huo Xiyin smiled quietly.

The two finally had their first silence after talking.Huo Xiyin picked up the teacup and lowered her head to take a sip, but she breathed a sigh of relief.Now she would rather be silent than fake smiles, she is not as good as Ji Zhandong, and fake smiles can be perfect and lifelike.

The taste of the green tea is astringent and slightly bitter. Although the aftertaste is long, Huo Xiyin doesn't like it.Ji Zhandong is the one who likes to drink tea. He can basically know everything about tea.Huo Xiyin watched him making tea several times, with calm eyes and skillful and careful technique, which was quite different from his usual casual appearance.

Xia Weiyang also took a sip of tea, and said again: "I came back to be a reporter. Although I'm just an intern now, my boss is pretty good. But some friends said that being a reporter is too hard, so they suggested me to be an editor or something else."

Huo Xiyin said, "Just as long as you like it."

She laughed, her voice still soft: "You think the same as I do."

Huo Xiyin pursed her lips and smiled.

Xia Weiyang was silent for a while, took a light breath, and said softly: "I'm sorry for what my mother did before. She has worked hard these years, and she can't figure it out. But she treats you like that, and I'm sorry It's always impolite. It seemed a little impulsive to talk to you two days ago, I hope you don't take it too seriously."

Huo Xiyin pursed her lips, still with an official smile: "Anyone has their own rights and ways to do what they do. I didn't take it to heart, and you don't have to apologize for her."

What a high-sounding and evasive answer, she almost despised herself when she said it.

Xia Weiyang shook the teacup, and said: "The company is about to collapse, she has been very anxious these two days, and she doesn't want to watch the company just disappear. Anyway, I hope you don't mind her impulsive words .”

She spoke very slowly, and it seemed that she was not good at this way of apologizing.Huo Xiyin was caught off guard by her first words, and suddenly raised her head to look at her, but Xia Weiyang seemed to have expected it, and even smiled at her, although a little reluctantly.

Huo Xiyin calmed down and returned to his indifferent look: "The strong prey on the weak, it's normal."

Her words were thorny, Xia Weiyang probably couldn't hold on any longer, the smile on her face became shallower and thinner, and finally took another breath, her voice was still soft and soft: "In short, I still wish you happiness."

The official blessing must be accompanied by the official answer to be perfect, Huo Xiyin also smiled: "Thank you, you too."

On Sunday, Ji Zhandong dragged Huo Xiyin to play tennis, accompanied by several other friends of Ji Zhandong.Except for Ji Zhandong and another man present, everyone else was accompanied by a beautiful female companion.

Huo Xiyin was quite impressed with the man without a female companion.Like Ji Zhandong, he behaves well, dresses appropriately, speaks appropriately, and often has a slight smile on his face. He seems to be very low-key among a group of well-dressed men and women, but at the same time he has a strong sense of presence. Not easy to deal with the Lord.Ji Zhandong’s introduction to him at the time was: “Xi Jinnan, a male, is the best at playing riddles. He is a typical stuffy person. He doesn’t talk about everything. He doesn’t look back when he bumps into the south wall. He takes a few steps back and keeps bumping. The cycle is endless and repeated. He is simply the modern version of Xixi. Firth, um, no, perhaps Yugong Yishan is more appropriate."

At that time, Xi Jinnan ignored his intentional sarcasm, and still smiled lightly, like thin wine refreshing: "Then what are you? The type who is looking for trouble?"

It seems that all of Ji Zhandong's friends are like this, they are good at playing haha ​​and fooling people.These people have mastered the skills of four or two tricks, and a few words can change the taste.Hidden words are commonplace, and Huo Xiyin has never bothered to delve into them. Since most of the topics are not related to her, she simply closed her ears and filtered them directly.

Later, when the men went to play, Huo Xiyin and several other women sat in the shade and chatted.The beauties are still beautiful in sportswear, but unexpectedly the topic is still the same gossip.

"Why didn't the female companion that Zhou Xiaofei brought today come over to chat with us? When he just came over, he had a good talk with her, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"It seems to be a bit of heatstroke, and I'm resting in the car. By the way, Miss Rong, why didn't your boss bring out Ranqing today? This doesn't look like his style."

"Honey, your news is really ill-informed," another said, "Xi Jinnan's wife is pregnant, so naturally she wouldn't come here. Oh, the ultraviolet rays are so strong today, my skin is almost sunburned. I I forgot my sunscreen in the car, Xiyin, did you bring sunscreen?"

Huo Xiyin handed her the sunscreen, and suddenly heard another person say, "Xiyin, I know someone who looks very similar to you."

Huo Xiyin didn't expect to be involved in gossip, so she could only smile at her: "Really?"

"Well, the eyebrows and nose are very similar, and the temperament is also similar. It's almost like sisters born from a pair of parents."

Huo Xiyin smiled lightly, while the woman was still saying, "I'll introduce you later when I have time. She has a very good temper, and you will definitely get along."

Huo Xiyin's smile began to become unnatural, and suddenly another woman next to her smiled and said, "I'm going over there to get a bottle of water. Are you thirsty? Do you want me to fetch it too?"

Huo Xiyin stood up with her, also smiling: "I'll go with you."
