"Liu E sued you, what does it have to do with Jin Han?" Zhou Yanli's eyes flashed with doubt.
I moved Ning Qingyi out because she is Nan Yu's cousin, and Nan Yu now has a close relationship with Jin Han, so I asked Jin Han to let him take care of Nan Yu and Ning Qingyi.
This reason barely made sense, and Zhou Yanli did not ask further questions for the time being.
I was afraid that he would continue to guess, so I changed the subject, turned my eyes to the car not far behind him, and asked, "Why did you change the car?"
"The car I usually use to get to and from get off work was rear-ended, so I'm going to use this one as a substitute for the time being." Zhou Yanli replied, without explaining too much, and then extended an invitation to me, "How about we go have dinner together?"
Did you drive with me for eighteen streets just to treat me to dinner?
I feel a little strange, but it's hard to refuse. People have tried their best to help me.
I have Sister Ping taking care of me at home, so I have relatively free time now.
"Okay." I nodded.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yanli and I arrived at Songfeng Tea House. He liked the tea here very much.
After arriving at the private room, Zhou Yanli ordered a pot of black tea and a few snacks, and sat face to face with me. He didn't speak, just lowered his head and drank the tea.
After drinking two cups of tea, I lost my composure and asked first, "Zhou Yanli, do you have something to tell me? Just tell me."
Zhou Yanli then put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at me with a deep look, which made my heart tremble.
I was so frightened by what he saw that I quickly continued to drink tea with my head down, avoiding eye contact with him.
"The matter between Lin Ling and I has been made clear to my family. Now I have nothing to do with her." When Zhou Yanli said this, my eyelids twitched.
Why is he suddenly telling me this?
I forced a smile and said, "What's wrong? Did you have a conflict with her?"
"I don't like her, and I don't want to waste any more time. I don't have many requirements in terms of feelings. The only thing is that I can have feelings for her." Zhou Yanli lowered his eyes and did not look at me again. His eyelashes were a little unnatural at this angle.
"It's okay, I will always meet a more suitable person." I comforted him perfunctorily.
In fact, I already had a premonition in my heart, but it was not good.
Zhou Yanli raised his eyes to look at me again, his pupils reflected my somewhat embarrassed face at this time, and I avoided his eyes from left to right.
He avoided me and just said what he was thinking, "I want to be a good friend with you, but I can never pierce the window paper, because I know you will reject me, but I can't control my feelings, especially the way my family treats me." When I'm under pressure, I can clearly detect my own feelings, and the only woman I like is you."
As soon as Zhou Yanli finished speaking, I fell into embarrassment. I didn't know how to face his confession.
At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. A slightly fat tea master was holding a pot of tea in his hand. His round face was full of panic, "I'm sorry, I seem to have found the wrong private room." ,sorry!"
She must be new here, her face turned red, and then she bowed and apologized to Zhou Yanli and me, but for some reason, the long spout of the teapot in her hand tilted according to her movements, and the tea poured out. He came out and fell directly on Zhou Yanli's arm.
Zhou Yanli's face turned dark. He was seriously confessing his love when a misplaced tea master suddenly barged in, interrupting the brewing atmosphere and even soaking his clothes.
Instead, I was grateful to the tea master for relieving my embarrassment.
"Are you new here?" Zhou Yanli looked at his soaked sleeves, with frost hanging between his brows.
The tea master also saw the disaster she had caused. She was so frightened that she quickly put down the teapot, then took out her handkerchief and started wiping Zhou Yanli's sleeves vigorously.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really new here and I'm a little unfamiliar. Why don't you take off these clothes and I'll get them dry-cleaned for you?" The tea sommelier said and reached out to take off Zhou Yanli's clothes.
It was a move that made me a little stunned.
Zhou Yanli shook off the tea master's hand with a somewhat repulsive expression. He was a mysophobic person and didn't like others touching him at will, except for work reasons.
"I'm only wearing one piece of clothing, let go." Zhou Yanli scolded him coldly.
When the tea master heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly let go of Zhou Yanli's hand.
I saw that she was so nervous that she was about to cry, and she looked a little pitiful, so I helped her out, "It's okay, you can go and do your work first."
The tea sommelier glanced at me gratefully. Her round eyes looked innocent. She made me feel a little naive, but quite cute.
"Thank you, beauty, thank you!" The tea master bowed to me repeatedly.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and her expression changed drastically as she picked up the teapot she had brought, "Ah? I poured the guest's tea, it's over..."
She kept muttering "It's over" and then ran out.
Zhou Yanli and I looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
The ambiguous and awkward atmosphere just now was broken by the interlude brought by the tea sommelier. I took out a tissue and handed it to Zhou Yanli, "Hurry and wipe your clothes."
Zhou Yanli took the tissue and wiped his sleeves.
I made another suggestion, "Look, your clothes are all wet. Go back and change first. If you have anything else, we can talk about it later?"
Zhou Yanli did not accept my suggestion. He threw the paper towel into the trash can and lightly dusted his soaked sleeves. "I must finish today. I have been dealing with these things during this period."
I thought he was very busy with work during this period, but it turned out that he was dealing with matters with Lin Ling?
I can't sit still, always feeling that my friendship with Zhou Yanli is about to deteriorate, and I really can't bear to let it go.
It almost went bad several times before, but thanks to my efforts, I really didn’t want to fall short.
"Zhou Yanli, we have discussed this topic before. We will always be good friends, very good friends..." My words were to stop what he wanted to say.
"I want to go further." Zhou Yanli was resolute. He no longer gave up as I said before, and everyone was no longer so embarrassed.
I held the tea cup, hoping that another tea master would come in and interrupt our conversation.
My idea is obviously too naive and impossible.
"I don't plan to fall in love now." I found another reason to reject Zhou Yanli, "You also know the current situation of my family. I have to take care of my mother, go to work, and work hard to make a living. I have no intention of falling in love... …”
"So I have thought about it all. I will face and solve the problems you mentioned together with you. I have already obtained the consent of my family." Zhou Yanli interrupted me.
