Chapter 831
831 Returning late to see the present (26) _1
“What?”
“My insensibility back then must have made you very troubled. I’m sorry, brother Xu Chi!”
Xu Chi thought about it for a long time before he realized what she meant. He frowned and was about to say something when Goldy turned its head to look at the desolate scene outside the window and spoke softly.
“We grew up together. Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for too long, but we gradually couldn’t tell what likes and habits are two different things. I used to treat you like this, and now qianfan is treating me the same way.”
There was a long period of time when she felt aggrieved when Xu Chi rejected her confession because she felt that Xu Chi liked her too. He was so good to her, so how could he not like her at all?
Now she understood that he was only good to her because he treated her as a sister, just like how she treated qianfan. She would also be very good to him, but she couldn’t force him to like her.
“Brother Xu Chi, don’t worry. Now that I’ve grown up, I can clearly distinguish my own feelings. You’re a very good brother to me, so you don’t have to have any psychological burden and worry.”
Xu Chi,”shua shua shua.”
Goldy felt that it had thought it through very clearly and had said it very clearly, but for some reason, Xu Chi’s expression seemed to be even worse.
Maybe he was too tired?
He didn’t let Xu Chi go back at night. Instead, he booked a room in the town’s hotel for him to rest.
Goldy wanted to treat him to a meal, but when it was about to knock on the door, it saw that the door was not closed. An orange light was on in the room. The man was leaning on the sofa, his hands in front of him, and his eyes were closed. His suit was thrown aside.
She thought of Qian fan’s words. He was on a business trip to Country M and suddenly rushed back, so he probably didn’t have a good rest on the way back.
He must be exhausted.
She walked over with light steps, picked up the suit next to her, and carefully covered him with it. She turned around and sat down on the sofa next to him, then picked up her phone to reply to the messages in the group.
Xu Chi was really exhausted. He had rushed back from Country M as soon as he received the news. He had to deal with work on the plane, so he did not put his luggage when he got off the plane. He drove to Shanshui town alone just to see that she was fine.
She didn’t expect to see qianfan confessing to her, and she didn’t expect her to say those words in the car. She felt uncomfortable, but when she returned to the hotel, she didn’t think too much about it. She sat on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.
He slept until past eight o ‘clock. The sky outside had already turned dark. It was quiet all around, and the room was a little cold without the heater on.
Xu Chi sat up and saw the little girl lying on the sofa. Her long black hair fell on Bai Jing’s face, her curly eyelashes were distinct, and her red lips were lustrous and alluring.
He moved his Adam’s apple but did not move.
At this moment, he just wanted to look at her without any scruples and greed. He didn’t need to have any scruples.
Goldy was sleeping in a daze. She vaguely felt a pair of eyes peeking at her. She moved her body, which was uncomfortable from being in the same position for a long time, and sat up to rub her eyes.
The moment she woke up, Xu Chi had already collected his gaze and put away all his emotions.
Goldy looked at him. brother Xu Chi, you’re awake.
“Yes.” He nodded. why did you fall asleep here too? ”
She yawned and her eyes were teary. I wanted to call you for dinner, but I saw that your door was open. I came in and saw that you were asleep, so I thought I would call you later. I didn’t expect to fall asleep while waiting.
Xu Chi glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was almost nine O ‘clock. you haven’t eaten yet.
“We haven’t eaten yet.” Goldy corrected.
Xu Chi rubbed his eyebrows. He seemed a little annoyed at himself for sleeping for so long.
There was probably nothing to eat at this time.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already made a reservation at the local restaurant. There should still be time to eat now.”
The local restaurant was old and did not look as Grand as the restaurants in the city, but the ingredients were fresh and the taste was good.
When Goldy called them, they had already started to prepare. They had prepared it in advance and kept it warm. When they saw them coming, the dishes were served immediately.
“Don’t look down on this restaurant just because it’s unremarkable. The boss’s wife is very good at cooking, and many people come here because of its reputation.”
As Goldy served him soup, it introduced, ” it’s just that the husband and wife have limited energy, so they only serve two tables a day. It’s also because I’ve been here for a long time that they’ll give me special treatment when they’re not busy.”
The couple was old and their children were not by their side. They saw that Goldy was fated to meet and were afraid that a girl like her would not be used to living in the countryside and suffer grievances, so they took care of her more.
“Try this soup. The winter bamboo shoots inside are all fresh. They’re very fresh,”
Xu Youyou was good at cooking. Xu Chi had been eating the food made by his parents since he was young, so he was very picky. It was difficult for ordinary food to gain his approval.
He lowered his head and took a sip of the soup. He did not hold back his praise. it’s delicious.
Goldy felt as if the soup it had made had been praised. Its eyes curved into crescents. if it’s good, then drink more. Every time I’m exhausted, I feel like I’m full of energy and can fight for another 500 years after drinking this soup.
Xu Chi looked at her raised fingers as he drank the soup. Her fingers were slender and fair. The bright smile on her lovely face warmed his heart.
She was just like that, easily winning the favor of others wherever she went.
It should be said that there was no one who didn’t like a cute and kind girl like her.
The two of them finished all the food on the table. Goldy was so full that it even burped. It covered its mouth and smiled in embarrassment.
Xu Chi had seen her unsightly appearance when she was young, so hiccuping was naturally nothing. He picked up his coat and put it on. let’s go.
Goldy got up and followed him. When they passed the cashier, Xu Chi took out his wallet and was about to pay.
The lady boss waved her hand. no need, no need. I haven’t deducted the money manager mo left here.
Xu Chi turned to look at her.
Goldy took two candies from the cashier and handed one to him. I often invite people to eat here, and it’s troublesome to pay the bill every time. I’ve put five thousand Yuan here at once and let them deduct it themselves. I’ll pay them after they’re done.
Xu Chi took the candy, a smile flowing in his eyes. you’re becoming more and more like a boss.
Goldy didn’t refute and walked outside. A gust of cold wind blew in its face and it sneezed twice.
Xu Chi frowned and looked at the thin coat on her. Without any hesitation, he took off his suit jacket and put it on her.
“There’s no need to.”
Goldy wanted to return the suit to him, but he had already walked forward, the hand in his pocket holding the candy.
Her heart was warm and sweet.
She jogged a few steps to keep up with him, her clear voice echoing in the cold wind. brother Xu Chi, thank you.
Xu Chi was puzzled and looked at him.
