After Qi Lan said that sentence, she didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, but Xie Zhu was depressed all the way.

On the bus, Qi Lan teased him with a smile, why are the pig's ears so red?

Xie Zhu just yelled at him very imposingly, don't bother me.

Qi Lan laughed to death, and said, okay, okay, I won't bother you.

He held Xie Zhu's wrist like this, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and abducted him all the way to the city center.

They entered a hot pot restaurant in the city center before the meal time.

After a while, there were long queues at the entrances of almost all the popular restaurants in the mall.

After Xie Zhu sat down, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time the two of them had dinner outside seriously?

Eating in the cafeteria in high school can't be counted, right?

He raised his eyes and quietly watched Qi Lan who was sitting opposite, the boy was ordering with his head down.

The tips of her hair hang down slightly, covering Qi Lan's eyes, but her high nose and lips are still superior.

... As for the time when they went out to play together on holidays, it was basically not just the two of them. After all, most of the time, wherever Qi Lan was, the crowd would be there.

Of course, this guy seems to have a lot of friends, but in fact it's just that.

There are only a few who can really have a deep friendship with him.

For example, among those people who went to the board game hall with him that day, Lao Wen was probably the only one who was really treated as a brother by him.

Xie Zhu thought about something, Qi Lan suddenly raised his head, and jokingly said: "Order whatever you want, don't just stare at me."

Xie Zhu was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red again!

What... Are the eyes growing on top of the head? !

He immediately took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to order food, his lips were tightly pursed, his cheeks were slightly puffed up, and his movements were full of shame and anger after being exposed.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Lan smiled happily.

Food came out quickly.

After the bottom of the pot boiled, Qi Lan asked in an ordinary tone while ordering the dishes: "Are you at work now?"

"...No, I resigned."

When Qi Lan heard it, he suddenly smiled, "Oh, did you resign after finishing the all-night shift on Saturday?"

Xie Zhu remembered the few words that the two of them chatted back and forth in the board game hall on WeChat that day, and knew that this guy must have understood everything, and he didn't bother to lie anymore, so he said dryly: "It's been three months since I quit."

This attitude of breaking the jar was really bad on the spot.

Qi Lan felt angry and funny, he ground his teeth and said, "You really tried your best to hide from me, little piggy, you won't even blush when you lie now."

"..." Xie Zhu felt that he had blushed a lot in front of this guy, and he whispered back, "You're a pig, you little dog!"

Qi Lan felt that she was really sick too.

He used to be a little depressed when he heard Xie Zhu scold him for a puppy in high school, but now he only feels happy when he hears him scold him like that. This feeling is probably like a kitten scratching himself, it probably hurts But only a little bit, more of it is cute, like rua.

So he laughed like this, and seeing Xie Zhu going to fish for vegetables in the spicy pot, he restrained his face again, and told him: "You have a bad stomach, eat less spicy food."

Xie Zhu replied casually: "I'll dip the dish in oil, it's fine."

"That's oily too." Qi Lan said seriously.

"..." Xie Zhu glared at him, "Then you still drag me to eat hot pot!"

Qi Lan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The bottom of the mushroom soup pot in this store is also delicious, try it."

Xie Zhu almost wanted to put down his chopsticks: "If you have the ability, you can only eat mushroom soup pot with me!"

Xie Zhu's tantrum almost hit Qi Lan's point of laughter, he just kept laughing like this, and coaxed: "Okay, after we finish scooping up the contents of this spicy pot, we two will eat the mushroom soup pot together, okay?"

Xie Zhu scolded: "Qi Lan, are you sick?"

How can anyone come to eat hot pot, and they all order mandarin duck pot, and they only eat clear soup and not spicy pot!

Don't they all take the clear soup pot slowly when they can't stand the spicy pot?

Qi Lan is as weird as he was in high school!

However, the more Xie Zhu scolded, the better Qi Lan's mood was. Xie Zhu was born with a soft voice. He spoke softly and scolded people softly. Qi Lan just thought it sounded good.

No matter how much the kitten scolds, it is still meowing.

This is a truth.

"It's not the first day you know I'm sick," he said casually, and after laughing, his tone became serious again, "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time, so I just wanted to have a meal, and I forgot about your stomach trouble. "

"Let's eat the mushroom soup pot today, and I'll bring you a spicy pot meal after your stomach problem recovers, okay?"

Qi Lan, who coaxed him in such a low voice, had a pair of black eyes with a smile and gentle stars.

Xie Zhu trembled.

To say that people who are most afraid of fooling around are serious.

Xie Zhu has been sunk by such Qi Lan more than once, and it is the same at this moment.

As long as he heard Qi Lan talking to him so patiently, he couldn't lose his temper.

The whole person is like a balloon being punctured by a burst, quickly trampled down.

Xie Zhu's ears were red, and he didn't say a word, but the pair of chopsticks gave up on the hot pot after all, and slowly stretched it into the mushroom soup pot.

Seeing this, Qi Lanyang smiled.

This kind of quiet and cuteness is exactly the same as it was six years ago.

With the previous bickering, the atmosphere between the two was completely relaxed, and the chat after that became much more casual.

Qi Lan asked Xie Zhu what kind of work he was doing before, and Xie Zhu asked Qi Lan what he was doing in the laboratory all day now.

The two of you said one sentence to another, understanding each other's life in the past six years.

Xie Zhu originally thought that Qi Lan would soon find an opportunity to ask him why he lost contact with his class and why he wore women's clothing.

For these two questions, even if Qi Lan did not show a different attitude in the end, Xie Zhu still found it a bit difficult to answer.

Especially facing Qi Lan, he really couldn't speak.

But fortunately, Qi Lan didn't ask.

I don't know if he forgot it for a while, or he already knew how sensitive Xie Zhu was to these two issues, and he was avoiding them intentionally or unintentionally - no matter what, this really made Xie Zhu breathe a sigh of relief.

"...So you still want to continue to study for a doctorate at X University?" Xie Zhu lowered his eyes and said softly, "I thought you would go abroad."

A lot of people went abroad after their class.

Qi Lan's elder sister married and settled abroad in the early years. At that time, many classmates thought that Qi Lan would go abroad with a high probability no matter what the results of the college entrance examination were.

Xie Zhu once thought so too.

Hearing this sentence, Qi Lan laughed and did not deny it: "I thought about going abroad when I was taking the postgraduate entrance examination."

Xie Zhu paused and pursed his lips tightly.

But did not hear the following.

He couldn't help but look up and asked, "...and then?"

Qi Lan was drinking coke, watching with great interest the awkward dance performance at the hot pot restaurant not far away, hearing this, turned to look at him.

I don't know why.

This glance made Xie Zhu's Adam's apple roll down.

He lowered his head, took a quick bite, and pretended to be natural.

Qi Lan rubbed the glass with her fingertips.

He put down his glass, smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just think that I will regret it after going abroad."

Regret?

Xie Zhu was taken aback, and wanted to ask what he regretted.

But before it was too late, Qi Lan suddenly picked up the phone, probably because he had received some news.

He looked down, and after a while, he bent his eyebrows and smiled lowly.

Xie Zhu froze, his heart sank, and he quickly lowered his head.

Qi Lan would laugh a lot in front of him.

Back in high school, many people felt that Qi Lan was difficult to get close to, and his cold face looked fierce, but the fact is that after Xie Zhu and Qi Lan got acquainted, they had seen Qi Lan's smiling face for many years.

Maybe it's treating him like a younger brother, maybe it's because he thinks he's funny and likes to make fun of him, Qi Lan is always very gentle to him.

Therefore, Xie Zhu should be very familiar with the softness displayed on Qi Lan at this moment.

It's amazing and contradictory, but it's indeed a very common trait in Qi Lan.

But just because Qi Lan's smile was not facing him at the moment, his heart sank and his mind began to think wildly.

Is it a message from your girlfriend?

No, he said that he doesn't have a girlfriend now.

Is that an ambiguous object?

Don't have a girlfriend, but already have an affair?

Xie Zhu instantly felt that the food in his mouth became hard to swallow, it was almost a physiological reaction, his stomach began to twitch, he felt pain and wanted to vomit.

He put down his chopsticks and took a sip of water.

The water was ice-cold, and Xie Zhu's stomach hurt so badly that his face turned pale.

He slowly clenched his hands and lowered his eyes.

So, he really didn't want to meet this person again.

He hated himself for becoming such a virtue.

……

After Qi Lan replied to the message, she picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat, but Xie Zhu stopped her chopsticks at some point: "Why, are you full so soon?"

Xie Zhu lowered his eyes and responded softly: "En."

Qi Lan didn't realize that something was wrong with Xie Zhu for a while, all he could think about was that his appetite seemed to be much smaller than in high school.

Speaking of which, people are also much thinner than before.

It was thin enough before, but now it is even worse, as slender as a small sapling, as if it would break if it were folded.

How the hell did this guy take care of himself all these years?

Qi Lan was thinking absent-mindedly, seeing Xie Zhu's cell phone screen lit up on the table, he didn't know what message he had received.

Xie Zhu froze there, raising his hand slowly.

He picked up the phone and raised his face slightly.

It was also at this time that Qi Lan noticed that his face was abnormally pale, and at some point, the expression on his face also became inexplicably cold.

Qi Lan's heart froze slightly, a little puzzled, just about to ask, but stopped in the next second.

Just looking at the news on the phone, Xie Zhu curled his lips, and a trace of blood appeared on his face again.

He is replying to Wuyang.

Wu Yang asked him if he would go to Mumu tonight, Xie Zhu had a stomach ache right now, after thinking about it, he decided to go home and rest directly.

Wuyang: "Okay, I'm the only one in the shop today, I'm bored [Yangyang sighs]"

Xie Zhu: "Where's your Uncle Fu?"

Wuyang: "Oh, he went on a business trip again [smiles]"

Wuyang: "He better not come back [smile]"

The resentment was transmitted through the mobile phone, Xie Zhu couldn't help but chuckled.

After replying to the last message, he put down his phone, and heard Qi Lan casually ask: "...Have you got a girlfriend?"

Xie Zhu was stunned.

he?

girlfriend?

He looked towards the opposite side, Qi Lan was eating with his head down, without raising his head, as if he was asking a random question.

Xie Zhu looked at the phone again, only then realized that he was probably misunderstood, and was a little stunned.

He opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly thought of something, and fell silent.

After Qi Lan asked this question, he stuffed himself with the last two chopsticks without knowing what to eat.

This question is just a normal greeting after reuniting with old friends for many years. After He Jiawei set up a WeChat group for high school classes, Qi Lan himself was asked several times like this.

Never felt that there was anything wrong, and never cared.

But for some reason, when he asked this question to Xie Zhu, he felt a little strange in his heart.

Even the few seconds of waiting for Xie Zhu's answer seemed to be stretched infinitely.

Xie Zhu is very quiet, and it is easy to be ignored in the crowd, but once you notice him, it is difficult to look away.

He is very beautiful, that kind of beauty is different from the beauty of ordinary boys, it is more...

Qi Lan recalled Xie Zhu's crimson eyebrows, those watery eyes, and his soft tone when he became emotional, his Adam's apple rolled down, and he completely felt that the food in his mouth had become tasteless.

Has Xie Zhu got a girlfriend yet?

It seems that it is not surprising even if they hand in, Qi Lan has always felt that people who would ignore Xie Zhu are really blind.

But when he thought of this guy having a girlfriend, he became irritable again.

He has never had a girlfriend, but this guy has?

This guy better not pay.

Thinking so, Qi Lan raised her face, controlled her expression and tone, and said lightly, "Why don't you speak?"

Xie Zhu looked at him and said, "I hand it over."

Qi Lan froze suddenly.
