At five o'clock, Mu Mu came to Zijin Pavilion, the restaurant that she and Su Yiqian agreed with. Mu Mu came here with Su Yan before. The dishes are pretty good and the taste was also good, but the price...
It could only be said that Su Yiqian is quite generous.
If this meal was offered during their first year of high school, I'm afraid I won't get this treatment. Mu Mu thought and smiled.
Actually, it's not that she didn't meet him that time just for the next better reunion and what she got from here would be her lifetime luck. Of course, that's a postscript.
A waitress was standing in front of Zijin Pavilion. Mu Mu was dressed in a red cheongsam and after she just walked in, she was greeted by a beautiful waitress with exquisite makeup, "Hello, how many are you?"
"Er..." Mu Mu stammered, "I have a friend who should have arrived earlier."
The beautiful waitress pulled a professional smile and said softly, "Alright, is it Mr. Su?"
"That's right." Mu Mu nodded quickly.
"Okay, please come with me." The waitress took her to an elegant room. During dinner, there were still quite a few people in the Zijin Pavilion, but there were no vacancies.
This is a private room for two, is there something he wants to talk about? He's really rich and had nowhere to spend his money.
After the beautiful waitress helped her open the door, she stood at the door.
Mu Mu stepped forward and saw Su Yiqian looking down at the menu then raised his head.
That smile, Su Yiqian's smile is really special for Mu Mu. In those days, it was that smile like the spring breeze that made her love sprout and moved the tight strings inside her heart in an instant.
His original cold appearance looked softer because of this smile.
It's a different time and place, yet his smile is still the same. Mu Mu lifelessly walked towards Su Yiqian and sat down in front of him while she was silently calming her mood down.
Su Yiqian handed her the menu and signaled her to order. However, Mu Mu always had difficulty in choosing. She smiled shyly and pushed the menu back.
"It's better if you order, I haven't been here that much and I'm afraid to choose."
After hearing her words, Su Yiqian seemed to nod a little and quickly skimmed a few times on the menu then called for the beauty waiting at the door.
After the waitress left, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. This made Mu Mu feel embarrassed, but as for Su Yiqian, she really doesn't know.
In front of Su Yiqian, she's both timid and bold. She didn't dare to take out her phone to pass the time and she turned her head to cover up her embarrassment.
When Mu Mu thought that the atmosphere would continue to be awkward, Su Yiqian made a sound.
"Mu Mu, stop being so distant." He's so calm as if he was just saying something ordinary.
It's true that Mu Mu asked Su Yiqian to come out in their second year in middle school and even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, there are many topics that they could still talk about. However, if Mu Mu hadn't confessed at that time, she wouldn't be so embarrassed like her skin was being peeled off right now.
"If I remembered it correctly, we should have been very close before. You made me puzzled this morning. Was there any misunderstanding between us? Or have I offended you in some place?"
There are so many places where you offended me! Mu Mu murmured in her heart.
This only showed that they are really helpless. They hadn’t seen each other for many years. If you lost contact for so many years, no matter how good your friendship was, it would only be left in memories. Moreover, in Mu Mu's heart, her feelings for Su Yiqian have already deteriorated.
"Su Yiqian, did you really think that I could get along with you in the same way as I did before?" Mu Mu paused. "Even if nothing happened, we haven't been in contact for so many years. We're no different from strangers, don't you agree?" Mu Mu must have said these words calmly, but she felt a little choked.
Su Yiqian froze for a few seconds then pulled out his moving smile. "It's okay. We'll get familiar when you get to work in Lanfeng in the future. I saw the planning you did at your school. It was very good. I already said then that you would shine in your field."
Their topic jumped a little bit faster and his words made Mu Mu feel a little dumbfounded.
"Wh... what does that mean?" Seeing that Su Yiqian didn't answer, it looked as if he was telling her that it's as what she thinks it is, "You're going to let me stay in Lanfeng. I could enter the planning department."
"You haven't had an interview, but I'd like to invite you to come and skip the internship directly."
Su Yiqian's words made Mu Mu even more confused: "Why?"
Mu Mu wanted to ask why she was asked to directly go to the planning department of Lanfeng, but Su Yiqian obviously misunderstood: "Your interview...it's terrible." Sure enough, a nerd's brain circuit is indeed different.
Mu Mu rolled her eyes in her heart, "I said, why did you ask me to directly go to your planning department!!!"
Su Yiqian made a clear statement: "I have read the academic reviews you receive from your professor, saying that although your grades fluctuated by a lot, but your plan was very colorful, you just have to pay more attention to details. It also happens that Professor Jin Muxian was a friend of my parents. I heard him said that you're pretty good. And Lanfeng’s planning department also lacks talents and I believe you can do it." Su Yiqian's words are just right, but he randomly added: "Just, your interview... You shouldn't have..."
If you start to speak, you should at least finish it until the end.
Mu Mu silently thought for a few minutes, but still decided to boldly say the words she'd been holding in her heart for a long time: "When I met you that day. Su Yiqian, it seemed that the unusual relationship between us started after my confession four years ago. You said that it was just my illusion, but I was very serious. From then until now, it was never an illusion."
The author has something to say:
Su Yiqian: "Cough, let's eat."
Mu Mu: "Eat what? My love for you isn't true. This meal is also not true. You're not true. All of these weren't true."
