sinking in his peril

Bai Xiyao saw the lantern hanging at the corner of the stairs. Yes, Taozi's memory is really good. This lantern is very similar to the lantern she drew, but the details are more delicate and beautiful. Compared with the lantern she drew, it is more beautiful. Have more aura.

"Is it exactly the same?" Tao Zi asked softly.

Bai Xiyao nodded lightly and approached. She stood under the lantern and looked at it carefully. The beautiful lantern seemed to be swaying gently in the wind. In fact, there was no wind here. It was the lonely light of the lantern itself. Swing, maybe there is no wind occasionally brought by passers-by in the stairs.

"Oh my god, it's really him!" Xu Zhizhi covered his mouth and stared in surprise at Sima who came down from upstairs. Passing by in front of everyone's eyes, they didn't glance at them lightly.

Xu Zhizhi immediately quickened her pace, stood in front of Sima, and said coquettishly and cutely: "You, don't go, I found you so hard, you can't disturb my heart, but you don't feel anything, this is absolutely not okay, I'm Xu Zhizhi, and I want to get to know you."

A guest seemed to be in a hurry and came down the stairs in a hurry, because several people gathered at the stairs, he turned sideways and wanted to pass through a space, but Bai Xiyao was touching the tassel of the lantern with his hand, this person was in a hurry for a while When she bumped into Bai Xiyao, Bai Xiyao grabbed the tassel of the lantern with a subconscious movement, and as she staggered, the lantern fell to the ground with a crash, and the flame of the candle in the lantern immediately ignited the lantern.

"What are you doing?!" Sima said angrily.

Bai Xiyao wanted to explain, but the guest who bumped into her had already walked down in a hurry, answering the phone while walking, not paying any attention to what happened here, not even saying an apology, she could only stare blankly The paper on the lantern turned into a pile of ashes in a short time, and he stood helplessly, listening to Sima's angry voice ringing in his ears.

"Every plant and tree here belongs to Yinxiang Restaurant. You are just diners and have no right to damage any item here. Do you know what you did?!" Sima stared at Bai Xiyao, with a fundamental tone in his tone. Undisguised annoyance.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose." Bai Xiyao felt a little embarrassed and explained with difficulty.

"What is intentional and what is not." Sima said disdainfully, "Who told you to touch it, if you don't touch it, it will be fine."

Bai Xiyao bit her lower lip lightly, and said in a soft voice, "I can compensate you."

"Compensation?! Hmph—" Sima snorted softly, and said coldly, "Even if you are a wealthy person, you can't buy every single item here."

Bai Xiyao suddenly felt wronged, tears fell from her eyes, she really didn't know what to do, she stood dumbfounded, unable to speak, Sima's tone was so indifferent and unacceptable to her. Disgusted, even if he said that they will never be friends, but at least they still have a familiarity that can be greeted, why is it suddenly like this? !

"I'm sorry, Xi Yao didn't do it on purpose." Ouyang Qing immediately stood in front of Bai Xiyao, and said gently to Sima, "She just likes this lantern very much, so she stopped to watch it. A guest just left in a hurry , I met her, and she just happened to hold the tassel of the lantern with her hand. It may be a subconscious action that caused the lantern to fall to the ground. Don't be angry, how do you need us to compensate? You can tell us, we will do it, but, Please stop blaming Xi Yao, she really didn't do it on purpose."

Sima said coldly: "Compensation, can you find an identical lantern?"

Watching Sima turn and leave, Bai Xiyao no longer concealed her tears, she looked at the lantern on the ground with tears in her eyes, the candle had already been extinguished, but the red paper pasted on the outside of the lantern had turned into ashes and ceased to exist , only the bamboo lantern frame is still intact.

"Okay, Xiyao, you didn't mean it, let's go eat." Taozi looked at the damaged lantern on the ground with some regrets, took Bai Xiyao's hand, smiled and said comfortingly, "This Sima was originally a Weird man, don't pay attention to him. If you really don't like this person, we'll let the second sister take the lead. I think she should be able to influence Sima's cold heart. Hehe, okay, I really shed tears. Let's go eat."

Suddenly, with a bang, the frame of the lantern on the ground cracked into several pieces, which startled everyone. Tao Zi stared at the lantern on the ground and said, "It's really evil. The candle is out. Why is the frame suddenly broken? Let's go, let's go!" Don't read, go to eat, Xu Zhizhi, eat with us?"

"Okay." Xu Zhizhi looked at the direction in which Sima disappeared, and said with a long breath, "He is really a special person, but I like it, yes, Xi Yao, you can't take revenge on him, although I don't I believe in love, but if I must marry someone, I will marry him, so, for the sake of his future brother-in-law, don't get angry with him."

Bai Xiyao looked at her second sister in astonishment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, what the hell is this!

Taozi stared at Xu Zhizhi with a frightened expression, pretending to be worried, and said: "Xu Zhizhi, you are really interesting, can you be a Sima? Can you have a crush on you? Maybe he doesn't treat you like that at all." Feel."

"If it hadn't been for what happened to Xi Yao just now, he would definitely talk to me. I am still confident in this. No man can stay awake in front of me." Xu Zhizhi said confidently, "This is your sister and I have been sober for so many years." the only truth that can be derived.”

Taozi tutted repeatedly, and pulled Bai Xiyao and the others to the waiter to choose a room for them. Bai Xiyao looked back at the lanterns on the ground, and the waiter was already cleaning them up. Suddenly, there was a feeling of extreme grievance. It came to my mind, what kind of person is Sima, how could he treat her like this, how could he be so mean? !
Facing the table full of food, Bai Xiyao really didn't have an appetite. She drank freshly squeezed juice, but it didn't taste at all, and she was a little careless. "I'm going to the bathroom." She stood up, not wanting to do it anymore, she thought of a place where the wind could blow for a while.

As soon as I went out, I happened to meet the waiter who came over with fruit, saw her, smiled and said, "Miss Bai, what do you want?"

"It's nothing." Bai Xiyao forced a smile and said, "The room is a bit stuffy, I want to find a place to breathe."

"Oh, did our boss talk about you just now?" The waiter said with a smile, "Hehe, it's a happy thing to be able to be trained by him. Here, he hardly speaks. You can listen to him, even if it's swearing. If it is, we will also think it is something worth celebrating, so don't take it to heart, the lantern is indeed quite precious, but for our boss, it is just a decoration, so don't take it to heart. However, if it is Feel bored and want to get some fresh air, you go up here, and then go up to the fourth floor, there is a platform with tables and chairs, you can sit and rest for a while, where you can see the wind and rain."

"Okay, thank you." Bai Xiyao said gratefully.

The waiter watched Bai Xiyao leave and was about to deliver fruit when a voice suddenly rang in her ear: "Why are you taking such good care of her?"

The waiter turned his head and looked at the person standing behind him, and said softly: "You always persuade the master to let go of Miss Cong, how about you, why have you ever given yourself a chance? I just think that this white girl looks very kind, That's all, the master never speaks easily, let alone teach others. Since he is willing to teach Miss Bai, it means that in his heart, he doesn't hate Miss Bai as much as he appears on the surface. I just hope that they can get along well. , it's been so long, the master also needs someone to talk with him, to live a more real life."
