It was soon noon and Ye Kong received a call from Wen Can. After searching for a long time, he finally arrived at the restaurant which was in a remote location but had a good environment.

The entrance door is very narrow, but after entering and passing through a small courtyard, the view in front of you suddenly opens up, just like an ancient aristocratic mansion.

She was led in by the waiter, went upstairs, and finally saw Wen Can in a private room with a window facing outwards.

Wen Can didn't come alone.

Besides him, there were already two people sitting at the table.

One was Qin Ranqiu, whom she had just met today, and the other was a tall man.

He didn't turn his head when he heard the noise. His eyes were still looking out the window, revealing only a sharp profile. His tone of voice was very lazy: "...I haven't experienced campus life for a long time. I suddenly came down to experience it for once. I actually had the illusion that I've grown old."

"Maybe it's not an illusion." Wen Can said with a faint smile.

"…Don't forget that we are the same age."

……

Qin Ranqiu laughed during the vague bickering, as if he was accustomed to the atmosphere between the two.

In other words, she herself is also a part of this atmosphere, so she naturally exudes the aura of the owner.

In just a few seconds, this short round of bickering ended, and Wen Can looked at Ye Kong: "Come and sit down, and order some food."

Ye Kong slowly walked to the table.

This is a round table.

Wen Can sat in the middle with his back against the window, with Qin Ranqiu and another man on his left and right respectively.

There was an empty seat next to Qin Ranqiu, and there was a teacup on the table, which should have been reserved for Ye Kong.

"Come and sit."

As expected, Qin Ranqiu started pouring tea for the empty seat, smiling gently and maturely, and he looked like a very considerate person.

She was so considerate that Ye Kong could imagine her caring about him during the meal just by looking at her.

Just like a host entertaining a guest.

Or adults coaxing children?

Ye Kong retracted her gaze, walked over and dragged the chair next to her away until she was right opposite Wen Can. She stopped and sat down.

The girl took the cup of tea and took a sip, then looked at Wen Can.

"You two have such a good relationship. You're still sitting next to each other in such hot weather. I'd be angry if anyone told me you're old."

She put the teacup on the table, her eyes pure and innocent: "Maybe this is what it means to be innocent without knowing it?"

Wen Can: ...

The man who was originally looking out the window also turned around and looked at her with an indescribable expression: ...

Wen Can coughed and patted the chair of someone next to him: "Please give my fiancee a seat."

"Which seat do you want to give up?" Ye Kong asked, "I'm fine sitting here."

"But I need you very much." Wen Can said without blinking, "We are an engaged couple, isn't it natural for us to sit together?"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the person next to him.

The man uttered a "tsk" and stood up.

He was indeed very tall, and when he stood up he looked tall, with long legs and broad shoulders.

But when Ye Kong looked at it, he always felt that this sweatshirt and trousers outfit didn't suit him.

Judging from his face and temperament, he should be the kind of person who is always in a suit and tie, and walks on the top floor of an office building surrounded by directors.

As she was looking at him, the man had already walked up to her.

Looking down at her, the man stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Ye San, I have long heard of your name. I am Jiang Xu, Wen Can's partner."

“He has too many partners.”

Ye Kong said this and shook hands with him very perfunctorily.

Qin Ranqiu on the side laughed: "Boss Jiang is not an ordinary partner. He is the current president of the Jiang Group and the patriarch of the Jiang family. Outsiders don't know that he and Wen Can are in a cooperative relationship."

"..." Unknown to some word, Ye Kong suddenly stopped pulling his hand back.

Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly with awareness, and felt the girl's slender fingers pausing in his palm. He didn't know what he was thinking about, his heart skipped a beat, and his originally lazy eyebrows suddenly became much colder.

The man quickly withdrew his hand without making a sound, but Ye Kong tightened his grip forcefully.

Jiang Xu: ???

Ye Kong stared at the hand closely, then slowly raised his head and met his gaze.

"Miss Ye San..." The man looked at her coldly, and then glanced at Wen Can who was silently watching this side, "What do you mean?"

The box suddenly fell into a strange silence.

The sunlight poured in from the window, and Jiang Xu's slender body cast a dark shadow on Ye Kong.

She stood in this shadow, but her eyes were like a blade forged from ice and snow, carrying a chill that pierced one's bones.

"Ye Kong?" It was Qin Ranqiu who spoke next, with a bit of anxiety and embarrassment, as if he was busy covering up something. "The partnership we just talked about was actually a joke. Jiang Xu and Wen Can are good friends - the best friends..."

She emphasized the word "good friend" with great force, as if it were an urgent reminder that could not be explained.

It was as if she was afraid that Ye Kong would do something here that would embarrass his two good friends.

"Miss Ye San," Jiang Xu calmly pulled his hand away, "How long do you want to hold hands with me?"

His face couldn't help but show a bit of disgust and contempt, and even a little anger.

But just when this impoliteness was about to turn into violent action, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand which was tightly grasped by the girl.

Jiang Xu: ...

The man lowered his head suddenly and found that Ye Kong had slowly tightened his five fingers until the neatly trimmed nails were deeply embedded in his skin: "That's it."

Ye Kong said this, his eyes still looking at him indifferently and calmly.

The fingers used as much force as possible, and finally left two or three bloody marks on the back of the man's hand.

"I don't know why," Ye Kong said, "When I saw Mr. Jiang's face, I felt particularly disgusted."

She said: "This is the second time I have had this kind of experience in my life, so I can't help but want to study the reasons."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xu: ...

Qin Ranqiu: ...

She finally slowly let go of his hand.

The overly clenched fingers even left a few white indentations on the man's skin, which gradually turned bloody after he loosened his fingers.

Ye Kong looked at the man's surprised expression and smiled: "Mr. Jiang, you don't think that I keep holding your hand because I'm interested in you, right?"

Jiang Xu: ...

"Haha."

Ye Kong turned around and walked to sit next to Wen Can. Just that short laugh was enough to fully express her sarcasm.

Jiang Xu: ...

He looked down at the blood marks on the back of his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw Wen Can still gently pouring tea for Ye Kong.

"You said this was the second one you met, so who was the first one?"

He even asked the question so nonchalantly!

Jiang Xu: ...

"What a bastard who forgets his friends for the sake of a woman."

Jiang Xu sat down expressionlessly, and Qin Ranqiu poured him a cup of tea soothingly.
