Pantera

Ordering some pasta, he found a seat and sat down.

An Ran personally poured a glass of water for him.

"Why did you come here to eat?"

Xiao Ye chuckled, "Waiting for you!"

"I'm going to be busy until after ten o'clock."

Xiao Ye raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It's past nine o'clock, it's almost time."

"Go back quickly after eating, I'm too busy to care about you."

He waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, you are busy with your work."

"As you like."

An Ran put down the cup, turned around and went about her own business.

Xiao Ye felt that her attitude was a little cold. They had been living together for several months, and it seemed that An Ran's attitude towards him had always been quite cold, but she wasn't just like him, she was like this towards all men.

Thinking of it this way, his mind became more balanced in an instant.

When the pasta was delivered, he ate it silently, and then his eyes fixed on An Ran.

When she was not busy, An Ran stood outside the bar, chatting with the staff for some unknown reason, with a happy smile on her face, and she didn't seem like a boss at all.

He propped his chin with one hand, and was watching intently, when Jiang Wanqin suddenly came over and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Xiao Xiao, I heard that you and An Ran have officially started dating?"

Xiao Ye was taken aback by the question, nodded hurriedly, then shook his head again.

Now Jiang Wanqin was stunned.

"Are you guys dating or not?"

"Is it a date?"

"What is considered?"

"..."

Xiao Ye didn't know if the dinner together last time was considered a date, he thought it was, but An Ran's attitude towards him was still the same as before, although he didn't simply regard him as a roommate, his status had been upgraded to that of a friend , but the distance from her boyfriend is still far away.

"Auntie, there is a long way to go!"

Jiang Wanqin looked at him in surprise, "You haven't caught up with An Ran yet?"

"No."

"Then you are so stupid, a tomboy has been chasing after you for so long."

"..."

Jiang Wanqin glanced at An Ran, a few months had passed, An Ran's hair had grown a lot, and it was already long enough to cover her ears.

Although her hairstyle is not very good-looking now, An Ran basically wears a hat when going out, but it is much more pleasing to the eye than when she was bald.

"Xiao Xiao, I just heard An Ran say that she hasn't eaten lotus mist for a long time. She wants to eat it, but Yucheng doesn't know where to buy it."

Xiao Ye was taken aback again: "What is Lianwu?"

"A fruit produced in Taiwan Province, which is rare in the Mainland."

"I'll check first."

Xiao Ye lowered his head to search for information about lotus mist on his mobile phone, and found that this fruit has a short shelf life and cannot be transported long distances. This has also led to many people in the mainland who have never heard of this fruit, have never seen it, let alone ate it .

"An Ran wants to eat?"

He raised his head and asked Jiang Wanqin.

"Yes, when Huawu's father was still there, he went to Taiwan. When he came back, he brought some lotus mist. Huawu gave it to An Ran. An Ran liked it very much."

"It's up to me."

Xiao Ye began to search for the fruit of lotus mist on various shopping platforms, and found that there was a fruit shop that had just opened in Yucheng that sold it.

"Auntie, it may take some time for me to go out. If I come back late, please ask An Ran to wait for me."

He couldn't wait to get up with his mobile phone, walked out of the restaurant, stopped a taxi by the side of the road, and rushed towards the fruit shop.

The location of the store is outside the third ring road, and the location is a bit out of the way.

Fortunately, he arrived before the fruit shop closed.

The shop owner is from Taiwan, and he came here to do business, and when he learned that Xiao Ye came to buy lotus mist, he smiled and introduced the lotus mist produced in his hometown.

Because of the high transportation cost, the selling price is more expensive.

Xiao Ye didn't care, as long as An Ran liked it, he would buy it no matter how expensive it was.

He bought a big bag and left the fruit shop. He found that the road was deserted and there were no vehicles coming and going. He suddenly felt a headache.

After walking for a long distance, he thought he could get a taxi, but he still didn't see a taxi passing by, but there were private cars from time to time.

Out of desperation, he tried to stop a private car, but to no avail.

He continued walking along the road, and after a while, a black car stopped beside him.

The window of the driver's seat was lowered, and there was a man wearing a hat and a mask. The other party looked at him and asked in surprise, "Do you want to take a car?"

"Are you a sports car?"

The other party nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Ye was ecstatic, and immediately reported the location of the Rose Garden Restaurant to the driver.

"Fifty, do you want to go?"

Xiao Ye regretted not driving out, he had no idea where he was at the moment, hesitated for a few seconds, walked to the passenger side, opened the door and sat in.

After fastening his seat belt, he glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was almost ten o'clock.

"Master driver, please drive faster, I'm in a hurry."

The driver said hello and started the car immediately.

At first Xiao Ye didn't notice anything wrong, thinking that the other party was a private driver of a sports car, but the direction of the car was getting farther and farther away from the urban area, and the surrounding area became more desolate and quiet, so he immediately became alert.

"Master, have you gone to the wrong place?"

The man driving the car ignored him and looked ahead, seemingly concentrating on driving.

"You went wrong. Where are you driving? The place I told you is in the urban area. Did you deliberately take a detour to charge me more?"

Lu Chen didn't say a word, and from the corner of his eye he paid attention to Xiao Ye in the passenger seat.

Finding that Xiao Ye took out his mobile phone to make a call, he stepped on the brake, unfastened his seat belt, touched under the seat, picked up a hammer, and slammed at Xiao Ye, all in one go.

Xiao Ye had just dialed An Ran's number, but before he could say anything, he was hit hard on the head.

An Ran heard a sound of 'dong', and asked wonderingly: "What sound?"

Lu Chen was extremely fast, grabbed Xiao Ye's phone, opened the car window, and threw the phone towards the front of the car.

Seeing that Xiao Ye was bleeding from his head and had passed out, without thinking, he quickly stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive the black car forward.

The wheels ran over the mobile phone and crushed it to pieces.

The call was cut off suddenly.

An Ran's heart sank, and she immediately called back Xiao Ye's number, but she couldn't get through.

She called several times in a row, but still couldn't get in touch with Xiao Ye.

Sensing that her expression was not right, Hua Wu asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Ye just called. It seems that something happened to him."

Hua Wu instinctively looked towards the seat where Xiao Ye was sitting just now, Xiao Ye was no longer there.

"When did he leave?"

An Ran shook her head.

She didn't notice when Xiao Ye left, but Xiao Ye had spoken to Jiang Wanqin before he left.

"Auntie, do you know what time Xiao Ye left?"

She asked Jiang Wanqin who was sitting at the bar.

Jiang Wanqin was settling accounts, and replied nonchalantly, "I didn't check the time at the time, but he went to buy fruit for you, you wait for him for a while."

"What fruit to buy?"

"Lianwu, don't you want to eat, he went to buy it for you."
