    ?

    This sentence is relatively long, Xiao Shi finally had time to clear his mind.

    Yesterday, when Zhou Shaoting's assistant came to return the package, Kang Ning's misunderstanding and noise made him laugh at him.  Since we want to "clarify misunderstandings", come to think of it, we don't want to cause more trouble for each other, right?

    "But" Xiaoshi began to struggle: Is it appropriate for them to meet?  What will Zhou Shaoting say?  How should I tell Kang Ning?  He is still angry, will he go?

    Zhou Shaoting seemed to have expected this woman's uncertain reaction, and put on an unquestionable tone, "That's it. If you don't feel comfortable calling your boyfriend, you can give me his contact information."

    "Oh, no, no, no, I'll tell him." Xiao Shi hurriedly responded, then thought about it, and asked doubtfully, "But, how did you know my phone number?"

    Zhou Shaoting ignored her question and just said: "Okay, see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

    Xiaoshi froze on the spot with her mobile phone in her hand, until the cleaning staff came to clean the floor under her feet, she suddenly came back to her senses, and quickly squatted down, wanting to help.

    Aunt Cleaning waved her hand in disgust, "No need", she mopped the floor after saying three or two strokes.

    Xiao Shi bent down and carefully picked up the bag of appalling food, feeling very sad.  Cold winter's mother's heart-warming pickles were ruined, and two bags of shortbread were also smashed to pieces.

    Alas, what a charm!  Why is she so embarrassed every time that person appears?

    Hengshan Road is a famous "bar street" in Shanghai. It was written by the French Public Directorate in the 1920s, and it still retains a strong exotic flavor.

    The luxuriant phoenix trees along the street cover various chic and elegant European buildings, telling people the prosperity and charm of the "Oriental Champs Elysees" in the past.

    Xiaoshi came out very early and got off the subway at Hengshan Road Station, just after five o'clock.

    The night has not yet fallen, but the swaying light in the various "bars" with various names has already created a psychedelic and ambiguous atmosphere, as if looking forward to a deliberate encounter.

    Xiaoshi was wearing a simple white shirt, the hem was tucked into a half-length denim skirt, and a loose coat was draped over it.

    She just took a shower before she came out, her long, soft hair was naturally draped behind her shoulders, she didn't have any makeup on her body, and her temperament was as clean as fresh air.

    She was wearing a shoulder bag, walking with her head down, her hair fluttering in the wind.  The eyes of many young men and women passing by would linger on her for a while, but the girl didn't notice it at all, she was completely immersed in her own thoughts.

    Kang Ning said on the phone that she wanted to see a client and would arrive later, so she asked her to come over first. From her tone, it seemed that she was no longer angry.

    However, when she thought of facing that person alone later, she complained endlessly in her heart, and couldn't help but secretly scolded herself for being useless.

    She counted the house numbers according to the address she had checked before, and slowed down her pace.  The surrounding scenery seemed familiar, she felt as if she had been here before, but she couldn't remember when.

    Mulanfang is a rare high-end Chinese restaurant on Hengshan Road. The rococo-style bungalows and villas are actually decorated with antique Chinese styles.

    I don't know whether it's because it's not time for customers, or because it's out of the orientation of mass consumption, this Mulanfang has a cold door, and stands alone in the overcrowded western restaurants around it, which makes people feel the most solemn.

    However, the enthusiasm of the waiter was not discounted at all. He was so respectful and exaggerated that he led the distinguished guests to the reserved "Zhiqiu" private room in two steps, which made Xiaoshi feel uneasy and wished he could walk with his back bent.

    She arrived early, and Zhou Shaoting hadn't come yet.  The waiter made tea for her and left.

    She was the only one left in the spacious and dignified private room, but she felt at ease.

    She likes to sit by the window, so she held the cup by herself, changed to the window seat, turned her body out of the window, and watched the street scene as night fell.

    Directly across the road is a gorgeous Western-style bar, with a Romanesque pointed rib vault and a striking golden logo - "j club".

    Xiaoshi's heart shrank suddenly, and then she confirmed one thing: she came here, seven years ago, with Zhou Shaoting

    "J club", jonny said that it was a bar specially built for him, because the capital "j" was the first letter of his English name.

    It was his 25th birthday party that day, and he had reason to get carried away and party.

    Among the group of friends he invited, probably only Zhou Shaoting knew what his Chinese name was.

    ?This day was also Yan Xiaoshi's first time going to a bar.  She watched the men and women swaying and twisting, listening to the deafening rock music, and smelling the smell of alcohol floating around, she felt very uncomfortable, so she just nestled in a dark corner with her hands tied.

    Shao Ting thoughtfully ordered a glass of orange juice for her, and explained to the friends who came to persuade her: She doesn't know how to drink.

    Xiao Shi rubbed the drink cup, and after a long while, asked softly: "Should I drink a little when I come to this kind of place? I don't drink or dance, do your friends think I'm bored? What do you bring?"  Will I feel ashamed when I come out?"

    Shao Ting saw her sincere expression that day, and was a little amused, "No. You don't need to force yourself to do things you don't want to do, remember?"

    Xiaoshi nodded, "Yeah."

    Seeing that Zhou Shaoting was accompanying a girl every step of the way, jonny leaned over and teased with a playful smile, "Why, you forgot the bonfire beauty so quickly?"

    Shao Ting signaled him to shut up with his eyes, but the buddies had drunk a little too much, completely ignored him, and simply squeezed and sat between the two of them.

    With two blushes on his cheeks, he was very curious about Zhou Shaoting's caring girl and flattered him, so he told her about his good brother's affair in Nanxi River with great interest.  When it came to the e-mail that had no text, Jonny put on a look of surprise and said, when did Zhou Shaoting ever get shut down?

    Xiaoshi tried her best to hold back her laughter, her heart was full of sweetness.

    Jonny talked endlessly excitedly, sometimes exaggerating, sometimes embellishing, the protagonist of the story couldn't listen anymore.

    Shao Ting put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, but the bar was too chaotic, so he raised his voice and said loudly into Jonny's ear, "This is the girl by the Nanxi River!"

    Jonny stopped making noise, with a dazed look on his face, obviously not yet ready to react.

    Shao Ting calmly pointed to Yan Xiaoshi who was sitting on the other side of him.

    It was only then that Jonny suddenly realized that his jaw was about to drop in shock. The next moment, he hurriedly got up and returned the seat next to the girl to the flower protector.

    Shao Ting moved his body, sat back beside Xiaoshi again, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders as soon as he reached out.

    His movements are so natural and casual, with a bit of *laziness, but Xiao Shi is so nervous that he has goose bumps all over his body.

    This is the first "large-scale" physical contact since they confirmed their relationship two months ago. The most they used to do was hold hands.

    Xiao Shi is a very conservative girl, and Shao Ting also respects her very much, and has always been very stable.  Today's inadvertent intimate action was finally carried out with the help of Jonny's light and the dark and ambiguous atmosphere of the bar.

    Sometimes, Shao Ting felt that he was too cautious.  Is this still him?  Is it still the proud, confident and high-spirited Zhou Shaoting?

    The heavier the weight in his heart, the less he dared to act rashly¡ª¡ªSure enough, this girl is really a curse in his life.

    Shao Ting's hand slid up and down along the girl's arm, and the warm fingertips caressed the cool skin, making her goosebumps rise and fall from time to time.  However, her heart gradually became warm and quiet, as if surrounded by a solid sense of security.

    This kind of caress does not contain any lust, but is full of cherishment and affection.

    Jonny leaned over to Shao Ting again, nuzzled and said, "It's because of her, right? No wonder you don't work hard at your father's company, you insist on studying some MBA!"

    Xiaoshi faintly heard these words, and was moved in his heart.

    However, Shao Ting smiled noncommittally, and said, "My father asked me to read it, for better development in the future."

    A heavy bass trance hit, and the crazy rhythm shook everyone to the dance floor.

    Xiao Shi didn't know how to dance, so she just changed to sit by the bar from the dim sofa, and Shao Ting leaned on the bar and stood beside her.

    The charming lights of the bar shone on the girl's profile, reflecting her like a still painting in such an extreme hustle and bustle.

    Her eyes were fixed on the chaotic figures on the dance floor, and she suddenly said leisurely: "So, it may be a coincidence that we can meet again."

    Shao Ting turned his head to look at her, this girl must have been distracted by what he said to prevaricate Jonny just now.  He scratched the bridge of the girl's nose with his fingers, and said with a smile, "There are not so many coincidences in this world. My father did encourage me to learn more, but he didn't say that I should come to Guanghua to study for an MBA."

    This is not bad. According to his conditions, if he wants to study further, he can definitely choose a top brand in the world.  But he chose Guanghua because he wanted to get close to the bonfire beauty who made him fall in love at first sight and then disappeared.

    Xiaoshi touched his scratched nose, looked at him fixedly and asked, "Then if you didn't meet me in Guanghua, would you just give up?"

    "No, if I want to find someone, I will find someone even in the ends of the earth. Unless, I give up."

    But in the end, he still gave up.

    That's why she was able to get lost in the crowd and disappeared from his world for four years.  If it wasn't for that crappy encounter, maybe it would have disappeared for a lifetime.

    Xiao Shi took a sip of the tea, the lukewarm water couldn't make the tea smell wafting, and she felt a bit bitter when it slipped down her throat.

    Today, he decided to eat here, could it be on purpose?

    While thinking wildly, the door of the private room opened, and a tall man walked in under the attentive guidance of the waiter.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)??Looked at him and asked, "Then if you didn't meet me in Guanghua, would you just give up?"
