    ?

    Xiaoshi's heart suddenly tightened, and when she turned around, she saw Zhou Shaoting standing under the streetlight, with a slender and tall figure, holding a suit in one hand, and looking at her intently.

    Many students who came and went were staring at her, with curious and scrutinizing eyes, and whispering to each other from time to time.

    Xiaoshi stood there in embarrassment. After many years, she once again experienced that kind of helplessness and clumsiness.

    Zhou Shaoting strode up to her, looked down at her, and said jokingly, "You run pretty fast."

    Xiao Shi bit her lip and lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

    "Where are you going? I'll see you off."

    "No, I'm going home, the station is at the gate of the school."

    "You don't need to be so polite with me, I haven't eaten yet, why don't we have something to eat together first."

    Xiaoshi's stomach grunted in response to this tempting proposal.  She hasn't eaten a single bite since noon, and there is only the desire to be filled in her empty stomach.

    But reason told her that she should reject all invitations from this married man.

    "Don't worry about it, I'll just go home and eat something by myself."

    "Are you troublesome?" Zhou Shaoting raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "I didn't say I would invite you to dinner, but I asked you to invite me. Did you forget? You owe me two favors, and it's a meal for you. It's cheap for you  gone."

    Xiao Shi was stunned, and could no longer find a reason to decline.

    The two walked side by side silently, keeping a distance of about one meter between them, each with their own concerns.

    Zhou Shaoting was thinking, would it be wrong to drag her to dinner tonight?

    He didn't want to disturb her life, nor did he intentionally create opportunities to get close.  It's just that they had been separated for four years, and they hadn't sat down to have a proper conversation after their reunion. Especially after learning about Kang Ning, he was even more worried about her¡ªhow much did she really know about that man?  Will she be happy with him

    Zhou Shaoting turned his head slightly and looked at the girl beside him.

    Xiao Shi was originally looking straight ahead without squinting, but suddenly, as if her eyes were stimulated by something, she changed direction in a hurry, but accidentally collided with the man's eyes.

    She immediately lowered her head, as if embarrassed.

    Zhou Shaoting was puzzled, and followed her gaze just now - a young couple was kissing sweetly by the flower bed in front of them.

    Zhou Shaoting laughed dumbfounded, why is he still like this!

    In the past, whenever Xiao Shi saw a scene of hugging and kissing, even if it was in a movie, she would reflexively avert her eyes and look embarrassed, as if she had done something shameful.

    Once, Shao Ting finally couldn't help teasing her: "You're too conservative! Just give me a kiss, and you're going to be like this."

    She immediately defended herself: "I'm from a small county, and I can't keep up with the trend of your urban people. My mother also told me that girls should stick to one end!"

    Shao Ting laughed out loud, and said helplessly, "Well, I really don't know what era you lived in."

    Xiaoshi restrained her joking air, and said seriously: "Isn't it good to stay the same? I think this is the most ideal and perfect love. I always hope that my first love is the final destination.  "She paused, with a look of recklessness, and said: "If I can't go to the end with that person, I will give myself completely to one person¡ªthe person I love the most, so that there will be no love.  Pity!"

    Did she really think what she said at the time, or was it just a whim?

    And that unbearable rainy night

    Zhou Shaoting's heart ached again.

    They went to an old Cantonese restaurant not far from the school. Zhou Shaoting remembered that she loved the southern suckling pork knuckle here.

    Xiaoshi flipped through the menu and ordered a few vegetarian dishes.

    With a mocking smile on his face, Zhou Shaoting teased her: "Why, you are reluctant to spend money to treat me to dinner?"

    Xiao Shi handed him the menu and said: "What do you want to eat, you can see for yourself, I only order what I want to eat."

    Zhou Shaoting took the menu, closed it without even looking at it, and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Southern suckling pork knuckle."

    Xiaoshi's heart moved, does he still remember?

    When she was a carnivore, her favorite food was braised pork knuckle from her hometown.  The fat and tender pig's trotters are simmered in a pottery until soft, soaked in the soup, the color of the sauce is red and bright, the mouth is glutinous but not fat, fragrant but not greasy, every time I go home, I have to eat it a few times!

    Once Shao Ting took her to an MBA reunion, and it was in this restaurant that a plate of southern milk was on the table, I just felt chilly in my heart, filled with sourness, and felt uncomfortable in every possible way.

    Zhou Shaoting asked again: "How long have you known him?"

    "I've known him not long since I arrived in Beijing," Xiaoshi quickly glanced at the man's face, and for some reason, she felt a little guilty, so she added softly, "We've been dating for almost two years."

    She seemed to be explaining to him that she didn't fall in love so quickly.

    However, when her eyes slid to the man's left hand resting on the table, she immediately realized how stupid and ridiculous her supplement just now was!

    The ring on the ring finger was clean and shiny, reflecting the light, giving off a soft luster.  It seems that he has been wearing this wedding ring.

    If it is said that they have betrayed each other in their current state, then he is also the one who betrayed earlier and more thoroughly.

    There is absolutely no need for her to feel guilty or disturbed.

    Zhou Shaoting took out a cigarette, but did not light it. He just held it between his fingers and turned it from time to time, his black eyes became darker and darker.

    He was thinking, should he talk to her about Kang Ning?  How can we talk about it?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
