Chapter 140: Make Up for a Meal
Chapter 140: Make Up for a Meal
Zhuge Qinuo was eating corns carefully in rows, while Mi Bei was wondering how she managed to eat them so neatly.
Neither of them needed to find new topics to talk about as a group of young people who had just finished a night out came.
They were noisily selecting things on the shelves behind them. Mi Bei stretched out an arm and placed it behind Zhuge Qinuo, fearing that the young people would bump into him carelessly.
"Are you Mibei?" one of them suddenly asked.
The two men suddenly became alert, Zhuge Qinuo sat up straight, and the two looked at each other secretly, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
"No, you made a mistake." Mi Bei replied, and it even felt like he had changed his voice.
As he finished speaking, Zhuge Qinuo quickly gathered the garbage and threw it away. The two of them stood up and walked out quickly.
Bei grabbed Zhuge Qinuo who was about to get into the car and took him in another direction.
"Where are you going?" she asked into the wind.
Mi Bei didn't say anything, but just walked quickly, and Zhuge Qinuo followed behind.
After running for a while, he asked, "Hey, Mibei, is this your rental house?"
"Well, yes!" Mi Bei answered, feeling a little embarrassed.
Zhuge Qinuo: "That's great, then you go back, I'm leaving now!"
This was not what Mi Bei meant. He couldn't go to a hotel and book a room to accommodate her like Zhuge Qinuo did, but asking her to stay in the rental house for a while was considered as repaying her for taking him in so many times, which was reasonable: "Hey, do you want to go up..."
"Don't be so polite. I just had a full meal and I don't want to drink the water. Let's go." Zhuge Qinuo didn't wait for Mi Bei to say anything. He turned around happily and ran a few steps. Then he felt it was impolite, so he stopped, turned back, put his hands on his face, moved his fingers a few times to say goodbye, smiled sweetly, and mouthed "goodbye" before he really turned around and trotted away.
"That's all, a mother of two children?" Mi Bei shook his head helplessly.
When he realized that he couldn't stop smiling, he subconsciously restrained his expression.
Zhuge Qinuo trotted back to the car, her accelerated heartbeat taking a long time to calm down, and she began to talk to herself: "I'm really getting old. I'm out of breath after running just a few steps." She would rather attribute this situation to a physical phenomenon rather than some physiological reaction.
"Was my performance just now too contrived?"
"He just took me for a run."
"He invited me to his dormitory? This..."
"Oh my god. What happened to me?"
She was still recalling the moments she had spent with Mi Bei.
Zhuge Qinuo didn't give Mi Bei a chance to see him off again. He returned to the dormitory, feeling empty again. They had just separated, but he was already looking forward to their next meeting.
He picked up his phone and opened Zhuge's WeChat profile picture, but hesitated whether to send a message or what to send. If it was a thank you or an apology, he would have said it long ago. He couldn't say that he missed her so soon. He couldn't calm down. There were so many things he wanted to say to her, but he didn't know how to start.
Zhuge Qinuo did not respond to several attempts before. After breaking up with her, he did not even dare to contact her, because she did not take the initiative to contact him, and he could not find a reason. He was afraid that if he took the initiative, she would be scared and never approach him again. He worked as a host in the TV station as usual, and he tried his best to perform well, thinking that maybe one day, she would watch his show in front of the TV.
Finally, the opportunity he had been waiting for came. Deng Qing came back, and because the script required it, he wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle from Mi Beilai.
"Ask Zhuge if she's free and ask her to come and have dinner with us."
These were the most beautiful words Deng Qing had ever heard.
Mi Bei: "Do you want to make the appointment or should I?"
Deng Qing: "Of course it's you, silly boy."
This is the happiest task Mibei has ever received.
He quickly picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhuge Qinuo: "Thank you for what happened last time. By the way, I want to ask, are you free the day after tomorrow?"
He sent the WeChat message very quickly but his tone was cautious because he was afraid of being rejected by her.
"What's the matter? You want to treat me to a meal again? Am I collecting interest too frequently?" Zhuge Qinuo joked.
"Uh..." She was more relaxed than expected, Mi Bei replied, "You can say that."
"Okay, okay, I should be free. I'd risk my life for a gentleman. Just tell me what instructions you have." Zhuge Qinuo knew that Mi Bei couldn't stand a joke.
"Then we'll meet at the foot of Nanshan the day after tomorrow. I'll give you the location later. Oh, and Brother Deng will be there too. We didn't have a pleasant meal last time, so this is a good time to make up for it."
Zhuge Qinuo: "It's just the three of us this time? Are you sure it's just the three of us?"
Mibei: "Yeah! I'm sure. I won't bring anyone who wants to come this time."
"Okay! That's fine." Think about it, it's just eating, drinking and having fun with those handsome guys. Others wouldn't even think about it, but Zhuge Qinuo, who values looks so much, naturally wouldn't refuse.
On the third day, she arrived as promised.
The weather was a bit stuffy during the day, but at 10 o'clock in the evening, the breeze was gentle in Nanshan. She parked her car in the parking lot halfway up the mountain. She saw Mi Bei dressed in a motorcycle style, sitting on a cool motorcycle.
"Very handsome. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have dressed coolly. I thought we were just having a midnight snack." It's been a while since they last had dinner together, but Zhuge Qinuo tried not to act strange. Of course, this wasn't a lie. She really only wore a cool long skirt and a thin coat, and went out in a very casual outfit.
After all, there are only Deng Qing and Mi Bei. In front of them, she doesn't want to embellish herself too much. As friends, they have to learn to accept her ordinariness.
"You have a cool outfit." Mi Bei also laughed, with a look of disbelief and a hint of mockery on his face. Yes, that's right, it was a joke unique to Mi Bei.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You've been naughty. Just because you didn't have it before doesn't mean you can't have it today or in the future." Zhuge Qinuo refused to be outdone. "Besides, I used to be your cheerleader, so I know how to buy it. It's just that every time I think about it, I forget it when there are too many things to do."
Mi Bei looked at her smug face and couldn't help laughing.
Mi Bei: "By the way, Brother Deng can't come. Xiaowei has been keeping a close eye on him recently. I'm afraid it will affect our gathering."
Zhuge Qinuo: "So, it's really for a meal? To make up for the last time?"
Mi Bei: "To be honest, not entirely. Brother Deng has always wanted to see my motorcycle, but he never had the chance. Now he has received a new script that requires him to ride a motorcycle, and he happened to be here these few days and had time, so he asked me to take him for a ride first. Because he asked to ride on a winding mountain road, so we came here. And because the scenery of Nanshan is beautiful, I asked you to come and have a meal with me."
"So, I'm just doing this for the sake of convenience." Before Mi Bei could explain, "That's the only way. You don't have an apprentice today. Just practice on your own. And I'm the only one who will practice with you. You can only treat me to a meal."
Mi Bei felt relieved instantly: "Of course!" He smiled very cutely. This kind of "only" was what he wanted most.
