When she stood behind Jiang Chenghao, she reached out and patted his shoulder.
Xu Xiaoxiao hopes to see the surprise in Jiang Chenghao's eyes.
but……
Jiang Chenghao turned around and didn't say anything. He just smiled and helped Xu Xiaoxiao pull the chair away.
Such a reaction made Xu Xiaoxiao feel a little disappointed.
Fortunately, she was very good at adjusting herself. After chatting for a while, she completely forgot about the unpleasantness just now.
During the meal, Xu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to chat with Jiang Chenghao: "Baby, you invited me to a banquet this weekend."
"Charity banquet?"
"Yeah, hey, how do you know?"
"Because...I will go too."
After hearing the news, Xu Xiaoxiao was so happy!
She leaned forward unconsciously and smiled: "That's great! I was worried before that I would feel embarrassed if I went alone without familiar people!"
"You won't be embarrassed...the baby also invited his beloved."
The moment he heard this, Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Immediately, she understood everything.
I understand why Jiang Chenghao is always absent-minded today.
Xu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed.
She looked down at the specially dressed herself and felt that she... looked like a clown!
But Jiang Chenghao's mood relaxed a little.
He also said: "I'm very glad that you can go. When I feel you are next to me, my mood will become calmer, and when I face my beloved, my heart will feel calm."
"Can your heart really be as still as water?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's rhetorical question made Jiang Chenghao stunned.
Then, he didn't speak any more, just lowered his eyes gently.
Xu Xiaoxiao regretted saying what she just said.
At this moment, Jiang Chenghao needed encouragement. Why did she still jump out and question him?
This is so inappropriate!
Xu Xiaoxiao felt annoyed, and after taking a deep breath, he changed his words: "What I'm talking about now are all hypotheses, and we still need to test the results on site."
"Yes, it should be checked."
Jiang Chenghao murmured, and then he asked tentatively: "When you meet your beloved, will she...mention me?"
Xu Xiaoxiao could see the expectation and anxiety in Jiang Chenghao's eyes.
That kind of look made Xu Xiaoxiao really reluctant to say negative words.
But……
"not at all."
Xu Xiaoxiao finally told the truth.
This result made Jiang Chenghao laugh self-deprecatingly: "What do you expect of me?"
After speaking, he shook his head, raised the cup and took a sip of water.
"Jiang Chenghao..."
"Okay, let's eat, don't let my topic dampen your interest."
Jiang Chenghao smiled at Xu Xiaoxiao and took up the topic.
And he was obviously smiling, but... his smile was so sad.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at him like this and wanted to know what else he had to do to get rid of the loneliness in him.
At this moment, she no longer cared about the fact that her efforts to dress up were ignored.
Instead, she was thinking about what else she could do for this man...
When Xu Xiaoxiao was silent, Jiang Chenghao asked a question: "On the day of the banquet, let's go out together, okay?"
"Um."
Xu Xiaoxiao agreed without hesitation.
But Jiang Chenghao said: "You can refuse me."
"Why should I reject you?"
"Because once we appear together, it will be more...ambiguous. After all, you are my female companion!"
Xu Xiaoxiao shrugged indifferently, and then asked: "So what if she is your female companion? Can't I just give you a ride?"
Jiang Chenghao was slightly stunned by her frank performance.
In fact, Jiang Chenghao made this request out of selfish motives.
He wanted Xu Xiaoxiao to stay with him all the time to make him feel at ease.
If something unexpected happens, he can seek help from her in time.
But this request is a trouble for Xu Xiaoxiao.
It is normal for Xu Xiaoxiao to refuse.
But she... didn't have any thoughts of refusing.
This made Jiang Chenghao feel ashamed and murmured: "I should really learn from you and learn to be more free and easy and not to bother myself."
Jiang Chenghao here is trying to reconcile with himself.
But Xu Xiaoxiao opposite him... felt bitter inside.
She is a psychologist, how could she not know Jiang Chenghao's little plan?
But she would rather know nothing.
She also didn't want Jiang Chenghao to know her inner thoughts.
Let her bear all that alone.
Xu Xiaoxiao lowered his head and ate without knowing the taste.
Jiang Chenghao stared at her skirt and said, "Your skirt today..."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao became nervous.
She remained motionless, waiting for Jiang Chenghao's next words.
"Quite good looking."
A few simple words made Xu Xiaoxiao's mood brighten up.
But on the surface, she pretended to be calm and said: "Why did you think of complimenting me?"
"Sorry, I was too slow to react."
A slow response... is better than no response at all.
No matter what, Xu Xiaoxiao was satisfied after being praised.
When she is in a good mood, Xu Xiaoxiao has a great appetite and everything she eats is delicious.
Jiang Chenghao could feel Xu Xiaoxiao becoming happy.
But Jiang Chenghao didn't think much about it. He just felt that Xu Xiaoxiao's eating appearance was very contagious, which made Jiang Chenghao eat more food unconsciously.
At this time, the atmosphere between the two was quiet and harmonious.
A relaxed atmosphere flowed quietly between them.
…
By Friday, Xu Xiaoxiao had finished all her work at school and was preparing to go home from get off work early.
But Wang Sinian stopped Xu Xiaoxiao at the school gate and said, "The director is treating me to a treat this weekend. This is the address of the hotel."
With that said, Wang Sinian handed Xu Xiaoxiao a card.
But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't answer and just said: "No, I have something to do on the weekend and can't go."
"What's going on?"
"You don't care so much. That's my private time. I don't need to answer you."
When Xu Xiaoxiao said this, his face was still relaxed and proud.
Based on Wang Sinian's understanding of Xu Xiaoxiao, who can make her so relaxed...
"Are you going out with Jiang Chenghao?"
Xu Xiaoxiao hated this person's questions without a sense of boundaries. He frowned and asked with a wary look on his face: "What does it have to do with you!?"
When he noticed that Xu Xiaoxiao's expression changed, Wang Sinian knew that he had guessed correctly.
Wang Si young tilted his head slightly and said, "Don't be like a hedgehog, I'm just asking."
"You can't even ask!"
"You're pretty domineering, but there's one thing I don't understand. You said you're pretty good, so why would you waste so much time on someone who doesn't like you?"
The other party's questions became more and more excessive, and Xu Xiaoxiao's good mood disappeared!
She stared at Wang Sinian coldly and warned: "Shut up!"
"Ah, are you angry?"
Isn’t this nonsense? Xu Xiaoxiao just wants to beat someone up! !
