"Hey hey hey hey?"
Su Lin, who was caught following the package, panicked.
She was still taking chances before, the young master must not have noticed her... but it ended up like this. She didn't even realize that she should run away first, and then drive to pick him up as if nothing had happened.
"You've been in a bad state lately...I need an explanation."
Xu Shi looked at her with interest and said, "Maybe you need to take a long vacation to rest?"
"Well, that's not necessary..."
Director Su calmed down and said, "I, I just don't trust you, young master, and you won't let me send someone to protect you, so I have no choice but..."
"Are you relieved now?"
Xu Shi smiled and felt a little emotional at the same time.
Just, how should I put it, her behavior gives people the feeling that she is a parent who said she wants her children to let them go and have their own way, but is worried about keeping an eye on them secretly.
"Um."
Su Lin responded in a low voice. This was true. The fact that the young master found her was enough to explain a lot of things. Plus, the "Yu Jing" in his hand... seemed to be powerless, but actually wanted to take it. He's not that easy either.
This made her feel a little relieved. The young master was becoming more and more mature, in every aspect... By the way, was this the first time that she was pleased with the young master's maturity? It is ripe three times a year.
"Then don't do that again."
Xu Shi took advantage of her daze and gently scratched her nose, "Okay, didn't you say you wanted to invite me to dinner tonight? Are you leaving now?"
"Yes...hey?"
Su Lin subconsciously answered, but suddenly realized something was wrong, "Master, how did you know it was me..."
"It's the devil who doesn't know, okay? You're being secretive. If it's really a business meeting, can you not tell me?"
Xu Shi always felt that she had been with someone she shouldn't have been with for too long, and her IQ had also declined. "Besides, even if it's a business meeting, who would choose a place like the "Blue Ocean"? "
Although they are both high-end restaurants, "Babylon" and "Blue Ocean" are quite different in nature. The former is a serious business place where talking is the main thing and eating is supplemented, while the latter is more private and was once rated as A good place for family and friends to gather for dinner, or for young couples to go on a date.
Anyway, the boss behind the scenes has harvested countless wallets filled with seeds of infatuation over the years.
"Then, do you still want to go..."
Director Su is a little aggrieved. It was Chengcheng who said she wanted to keep it mysterious, but why do you think her relationship with Xu Shi is so mysterious? Now it has become a cover-up... Otherwise, forget it. Without the sense of mystery, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
"Go, why not go?"
Xu Shi smiled and said, "It's unprecedented for you to invite me out for dinner. I don't want to miss such a rare thing."
"...Then I'm going to drive!"
Su Lin perked up after hearing this. After all, she didn't want to give up this opportunity. She had been preparing for it for a long time... This made her feel very happy, showing a rare joy.
"Hi."
Seeing her happy look, Xu Shi smacked his lips unconsciously and shook his head with a smile.
…
"Blue Ocean" is a private venue today, and the decoration is very impressive. When Xu Shi just walked in and saw the flowers here, he thought he had accidentally entered someone's wedding banquet.
But flowers can't be eaten as food. Sitting here, all he has to do is drink cold water. He waits and waits but no food is served... By the way, Su Lin is nowhere to be seen? I just said I was going to park. Where did I park?
Xu Shi found it funny, but wanted to see how much work Director Su, who was always inseparable from each other, could do today.
I do not know how long it has been.
The lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, and a moment later the starry sky ceiling suddenly lit up.
"...Master."
Only then did Su Lin's voice sound, coming slowly from the darkness.
After seeing her outfit clearly, Xu Shi was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
He had never seen her dressed up like this - a traditional pure white floor-length off-the-shoulder evening dress, slightly hollowed out, with a few gemstones embellished just right, highlighting her delicate collarbones, and her hair was tied up with a hairpin. On his feet is a pair of standard attack speed shoes.
This is completely gone from her usual sassy and capable look. Instead, she is just charming. Coupled with her slightly shy expression, just one look at her can make people's breathing become disordered unconsciously.
"What are you..."
Xu Shi also looked a little lost in thought.
"Okay, does it look good..."
Su Lin's steps were a little awkward, "Am I... not suitable for wearing this?"
"...It's not that it doesn't fit, it's just that I haven't seen you wear it like this."
Xu Shi paused, then stood up and took her hand, "You should have told me earlier, but it seems that my appearance is a bit sloppy."
He was still wearing the uniform of the Inspection Bureau, and there was no place to change it if he wanted to.
No wonder she took so long, it turned out that she had gone to change clothes... Under the starry sky, Director Su was so beautiful that Director Xu was amazed and suddenly felt a little regretful.
It is true that I have never seen her wearing it like this. Just like what Jiang Chengcheng said, it would not be too much to say that Su Lin's daily attire is the same. Even if we push it forward a few years, she is still wearing a maid outfit - this is not conducive to The way she acted was completely inconsistent with her rules for protecting herself.
If anything, the last cocktail party might have been an opportunity, but he was finally replaced by that brat Gu Yi...
It's not that she usually doesn't look good. Director Su is a tall and fit beauty who looks good in whatever she wears. However, always dressing up in the same kind of clothes will inevitably make people feel a little tired.
That's why he felt like his eyes were brightening, and of course he was also happy. It is said that a woman is the one who pleases her. As the one who is pleased, it would be a lie to say that she is not happy.
"No, it doesn't matter. Young Master looks handsome no matter what he wears..."
Su Lin herself was a bit cautious. It was her first time to dress like this. She was the nervous one. Jiang Chengcheng helped pick out the clothes... But seeing that the young master's reaction seemed to be good, she finally felt a little more at ease.
The young master actually took the initiative to hold his hand, feeling itchy in his hand...
"It's really beautiful. It's worth waiting for so long."
Xu Shi held her hand, but he didn't want to let go, "What day is it today? Our Director Su has made so many preparations?"
"It's not a special day...to celebrate, Master, that you have completed your community service?"
Su Lin didn't want to let go. Her mind was even dizzy and she couldn't even speak.
"What's the reason?"
Xu Shi was amused, "It doesn't matter, if today is not a day, then let it be a day."
"Um……"
Su Lin blushed and nodded. She didn't expect the progress to be quite smooth.
The main reason is that the atmosphere is very good. The only awkwardness is caused by my shyness... It seems that the young master is very satisfied with his arrangement, right?
Sure enough, it is right for a good best friend to pass on her experience, and it will definitely be easy to win over the young master later!
result.
The beautiful fantasy was burst like a bubble when the meal was served.
"Um...is this the dinner you prepared?"
Looking at the roasted leeks and kidneys placed on the gold-plated dinner plate, Xu Shi's eyes twitched unconsciously, and he forgot how to place the knife and fork in his hand.
"Ah this..."
Su Lin hadn't recovered yet, "Master, don't you like it..."
"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, right?"
I couldn't laugh or cry for a long time.
He is really not the type to be aloof and aloof from the world, at least not after awakening his past life memories. What is unacceptable about eating barbecue? Didn't you enjoy your meal with Miss Black Rabbit before? I almost gave in... It wouldn't be a problem if my partner was Su Lin. Three or five bottles and two punches would still be a good day.
The problem is the environment, the environment! The foreshadowing was so good and now here, the atmosphere is completely gone, okay?
You even prepared wolfberry medicinal wine! What's that at the bottom of the bottle, deer antler or maca?
Buffett’s lunch, right? Xu Shi believed that there was absolutely no such thing in this world, but I didn’t expect that you, Su Lin, would forcefully create it!
"Tell me, who gave you the trick?"
He was now completely sure that someone was behind all this, otherwise Su Lin could do such a thing? Your character is almost destroyed...
"...It's Chengcheng."
Su Lin also woke up and realized that this was indeed a bit contrary to the rules. After some psychological struggle, she still chose to confess.
"From beginning to end?"
Xu Shi asked.
"Um……"
Su Lin responded aggrievedly. No matter how slow she was, she could still feel that something was wrong. At least the young master didn't seem happy.
Wow, the method given by my best friend is not completely effective...
"Don't rely solely on others."
Xu Shi said angrily, "You just do everything she says? What is the purpose of preparing this table of dishes?"
"yes……"
Su Lin was about to answer, but then she thought, wouldn't her intentions be revealed by saying this?
So she immediately changed the topic, "Master, don't you like these? I'll let them change..."
"Forget it, it's a shameful waste."
Of course, Xu Shi wasn't really angry. He waved his hands to show that he didn't care, "Don't be so troublesome. If you change people, you'll starve to death."
Let me tell you, eating roasted kidneys in this atmosphere is quite interesting.
So he started to enjoy it very quickly, maybe it was a high-end restaurant, and he could cook so well in a cuisine that he was not good at.
Su Lin, however, had no appetite at all. She didn't know whether to blame herself for being stupid or her best friend for being unreliable. She scratched the roasted kidneys unconsciously, and all she could think about was how to make up for it.
"So, what do you want to say to me after you have come all the way today?"
Before she could think about it, Xu Shi spoke first and asked with interest.
"I...I just haven't eaten out with you, Master, so I want to give it a try..."
Su Lin was still embarrassed to say it, so she hesitated and prepared to prevaricate.
"I'll count to three. If you don't say it, you won't say it for the rest of your life."
Xu Shi didn't let her get used to it, and there was even a commanding tone in his voice.
"……don't want!"
These words broke Su Lin's guard and she stood up without caring about her image.
"I...I just really can't bear the fact that there are more and more people around you, young master, and you always ignore me..."
She looked at Xu Shidao seriously, "Even Chengcheng, I'm jealous of her, and I'm even afraid that you won't need me in the future..."
"I am a retainer of the Xu family. Logically speaking, I shouldn't think about these things. Even if you really abandon me, I should have no complaints... But I feel really uncomfortable, so I tried to find a way to ask you out..."
"Actually, I planned to do this a few days ago, but you ended up going out with that Tang Shuang again. I wanted to follow you but you still wouldn't let me..."
She sort of poured out all her long-standing grievances - it was really a long time. In terms of seniority, if Su Lin said she was second, who would dare to say first? But everyone else came up from behind, but she was left alone. Director Su's heart was not iron-clad, so it was not easy to endure it until now.
In particular, her liking for Xu Shizhen was not something that happened in a day or two. It was a feeling that existed a long time ago. In the past, she was mostly grateful and had thoughts like "even if the young master is a waste, I will drag him away."
But now she can't lie to herself at all, she just likes it.
"Finished?"
Xu Shi listened quietly and asked expressionlessly.
"Um."
Su Lin nodded and forced herself to look at him. She wanted an answer no matter what.
"Did you know? Dad actually told me about it when he was still here."
Xu Shi was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "He told me that Su Lin is a very good girl. If there is a chance, don't let her just be a retainer all her life, but marry her."
"real……?"
Su Lin was stunned when she heard this. Did the master explain it like this when he was still alive? It seems like there isn't... No, there just isn't!
She didn't forget that "Snake Ring" and "Prism" were engaged. Xie Qingyan was in front of him. Xu Cheng would never make such an arrangement anyway. What age was it and he didn't want to act like a house-filling girl? .
That is to say, Xu Shi himself had no inhibitions, which was why he created such a thick peach blossom story.
So the young master must have made it up himself, but why did he...ah...
As smart as she was, she quickly reacted. Xu Shi's words actually showed his attitude.
"Didn't I tell you before that I'm very grateful to you for staying with me all these years?"
Xu Shi stood up with a smile and walked to her, "It's just that I didn't expect that you and I had the same idea. It's my fault that I didn't ask you in time to find out."
This was half true and half false, at least I didn't expect it to be impossible. Even leaving her alone was considered intentional by the evil coward.
By the way, I would like to remind you that the last time we had a heart-to-heart talk with this dog man, he asked me if you could bark like a dog, instead of "Thank you for staying with me." His bad nature was clearly visible.
But feeling sorry for Su Lin was indeed true. He didn't dare to say it to others. He also always had a good impression of Su Lin. He said that the two of them were too familiar with each other and were not suitable for further development. But think about it from another angle. Since So familiar, does it mean that if you just pierce the window paper for some things, everything will fall into place?
At least for now, it seems so.
He even felt a little embarrassed. Should he really take the initiative? He didn't deny that he liked letting girls take the initiative, as it gave him a sense of accomplishment... but Su Lin was really an exception.
After all, with her character, if it wasn't too uncomfortable, she would really endure everything in her heart, and then live with such regrets for the rest of her life - now she is not young anymore, her actual age is twenty-seven, she is twenty-eight. Fast forward to twenty-nine, and a thirty-year-old is only a few years away from old age...
It is said that the feeling of first love can be found in Tang Shuang, but the one who really accompanies her along the way is Su Lin in front of her.
"Master..."
Su Lin had stumbled and fell into his arms.
This was the first time she had cried. She had never cried when she was beaten and scolded in the orphanage when she was a child. She had never cried when she entered the Xu family and endured thousands of years of training. But now Xu Shi's light words made her cry. Cried into tears.
But these were tears of joy. She was very happy to hear Xu Shi say this... To be honest, she had always been quite humble. She always felt that as a retainer, she couldn't think too much, otherwise she wouldn't be able to watch others invest in him first. Embraced.
Fortunately, it is not too late. Delayed justice may not be justice, but belated love must be love.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Xu Shi comforted himself as a big sister. He would only joke with others and say that Su Lin was his sister. He would definitely not deny it, because she was.
Apart from anything else, if it weren't for her, I would probably be dead before it was my turn to awaken my memory, not to mention those decades of meticulous care.
Su Lin was very obedient. When Xu Shi said she wouldn't cry, she immediately stopped crying.
Then.
She couldn't help but hugged Princess Xu Shi.
"?"
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do?"
"I...I'll get back everything you owe me!"
With Xu Shi's reply, Su Lin became bolder, "You have always deliberately ignored me... I need you to apologize with action."
"What am I apologizing for? I...went against you?"
Xu Shi secretly thought something was wrong, but it was a pity that he couldn't break free - maybe he had grown in combat effectiveness, but you, Sister Su Lin, will always be Sister Su Lin.
I saw you walking awkwardly just now. Doesn't it affect your movement if you wear this outfit?
"Have you done all the things I told you before?"
Su Lin was too lazy to eat any more rice. She looked at the owner of "Blue Ocean" who was waiting not far away and asked coldly.
Her gentleness and shyness were limited to a few hours, but she never lost her dignity in front of others.
"Yes, yes, everything has been arranged as you said, Director Su."
The boss of "Blue Ocean" smiled apologetically. The so-called "things explained" of course meant opening a room or something like that - this man has a good business acumen and even opened a hotel above the restaurant.
Now that you've eaten enough, can't you be full and warm to your lustful desires? Relying on this trick, he has made a lot of money over the years.
It's so profitable to be able to eat such a big melon and eat such sweets - to be honest, this melon is not that small. In the past, everyone just speculated that there was something going on between Xu Shi and Su Lin. Something like that, but no one has ever believed it.
This is also Su Lin's ultimate goal today. Not only is Jiang Chengcheng's advice, but she herself also needs to use this method to completely calm down. Who makes the young master’s character so bad? You asked for it all...
He was just enjoying himself, but in the blink of an eye he saw Xu Shi's eyes that were so shameful and angry that he wanted to kill someone, "If you dare to tell a single word about what happened today, I will cut you into pieces and bury you in the city of sin."
How dare the boss of "Blue Ocean" offend this man? He shrank his neck and nodded like a fool.
Now it's his turn to feel aggrieved. I'm just going to mess with whoever I provoke...
I'm feeling numb. I have to go out of town on Tuesday. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until Wednesday night even with the interview and party, and I can't bring my computer with me...
How much do I still owe...at least the leader's three updates and two from last month, hiss...
