Chapter 14
Back to the hotel, Xiao Jie was already sitting on the sofa in the lobby with a newspaper. However, the manager of the hotel stood aside respectfully, quietly waiting for Xiaojie's order.
"Hey, where did you go early in the morning?" When Xiaojie saw Deng Kaijing and Zhang Qing walking into the hotel, he put down the newspaper in his hand and took the initiative to say hello to them.
In fact, as soon as Deng Kaijing entered the lobby, he saw Xiaojie sitting there, but when he remembered that he 'hurt' himself like this yesterday, he turned his head fiercely and pretended not to see him. Xiaojie didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, he came early to explain this matter to Deng Kaijing, so he came to the hotel early in the morning to wait for him.
Hearing Xiaojie's voice, Deng Kaijing pretended not to hear it, and still took Zhang Qing to the elevator, with no intention of looking back. And Zhang Qing didn't see Xiaojie in a sober state at all, so he didn't know that he was calling them at all.
Seeing that Deng Kaijing ignored him, Xiaojie was not angry. Because he was used to it in college, Deng Kaijing's anger is the easiest to be seen. He will not curse when he is angry, and he will only not talk to that person until he is angry. So Xiaojie saw that Deng Kaijing was angry at a glance, so he shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.
"What's the matter? What's your popularity? Tell my brother that I'll avenge you." Xiaojie squeezed in before the elevator closed, looked back at Deng Kaijing, looked at Zhang Qing, and asked in a knowing tone.
Deng Kaijing didn't look at him and said coldly, "Yes, yesterday, a so-called 'brother' left me with a trouble and left. Do you think I should be angry?" When Deng Kaijing said this, he deliberately raised his tone and dragged his words long.
"Hee hee." Xiaojie just smiled stupidly and then explained, "No, in fact, I didn't know it yesterday. Later, someone told me that you..." Xiaojie said that he paused and looked at Zhang Qing. However, Zhang Qing himself looked at him with a puzzled face. She didn't remember what happened yesterday at all, so she didn't know what she said now.
Quietly in the elevator, Deng Kaijing did not reply to him, and Xiaojie did not say anything. Zhang Qing lowered her head and was thinking about her own affairs, and everyone fell into silence with a tacit understanding.
The elevator quickly reached the eighth floor and reached the first floor of the restaurant. Let's go to dinner. It's your treat. Deng Kaijing said such a sentence when he was out of the elevator door.
"Oi, okay. I'll invite, I'll invite." Xiao Jie immediately reacted and followed Deng Kaijing with a smile. Deng Kaijing, who was walking in front of him, also smiled slightly, and then the three of them entered the restaurant together.
The three of them found a random seat and sat down, and the manager of the hotel restaurant immediately came up and quietly waited for them to speak. Xiaojie didn't dare to make a decision by himself, just waited for Deng Kaijing to speak first.
"What to eat?" Deng Kaijing said to Zhang Qing with great demeanor that he now has a little affection for this strange girl. After all, when she came to such a high-standard hotel restaurant, she did not look around, but waited quietly, which showed that she had a good upbringing since she was a child.
"Uh-huh~" Zhang Qing kept looking at the plate, as if she was dissatisfied with everything in her eyes, but kept turning over. Finally, I turned to one of the pages, and I didn't turn it down. I slowly said, "Let's have a plain noodle."
"..." Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Deng Kaijing and Xiao Jie couldn't help but be speechless, and the manager standing aside did not show any dissatisfaction, but recorded it seriously there.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Qing asked curiously when he saw Deng Kaijing and Xiaojie looking at her with strange eyes.
"You turned over so long just to order a plain noodle?" Deng Kaijing took the lead in asking.
"No," Zhang Qing couldn't help blushing and said shyly, "The plain noodles are almost at the end of the plate, so they have been turning over for so long."
After listening, Deng Kaijing and Xiaojie felt speechless again. Who came to the hotel to eat vegetarian noodles? It's already a miracle in the menu. Then Deng Kaijing and Xiao Jie ordered something separately and sent the manager away.
"Is there any news?" Deng Kaijing threw a cigarette to Xiaojie and asked.
"No." Xiaojie replied concisely, picked up the cigarette and sniffed it, but it didn't light up.
After Deng Kaijing heard it, his expression did not change much, but quietly thought about something. Zhang Qing, who was left aside, did not deliberately eavesdrop, but just stared at the electronic clock on the opposite wall.
Xiaojie played with a cigarette for a while and felt that the scene was a little cold, so he first raised the topic and said, "Oh, that's right. Miss, are you all right?
"My name is Zhang Qing." Hearing Xiaojie's question, Zhang Qing then turned his attention back and replied with a smile, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Ha ha, it's nothing." Xiaojie smiled brightly. Seeing that Deng Kaijing was not interested in joining their topic, he continued to ask, "It's me. Is Miss Zhang in any trouble? Why is she there?"
"This..." Zhang Qing didn't have a good impression of them, so he casually found an excuse and said, "My father owes them money, so he sold me." It's no wonder that Zhang Qing can lie. After all, no one will be wary of the two strangers they meet. If Zhang Qing hadn't wanted to go home so soon, she might have ignored them very early.
"Is it sold? What a cruel father." Xiaojie said with some disbelief, but he didn't want to expose her. Everyone has their own difficulties. If she doesn't want to say it, just let her.
And Deng Kaijing, who had been meditating, also came to his senses and listened attentively to Zhang Qing's words. In fact, Zhang Qing didn't lie to them all. Her father did 'sell' her, but he didn't sell her to Brother Liang, but to a fiance he had never met.
No one spoke again, and the scene fell into an awkward state. It happened that the manager led the waiter to serve the food, which broke the awkward atmosphere. Because everyone is eating, and it is impolite to speak when eating, so it is not embarrassing not to talk.
Zhang Qing, who has the smallest appetite, finished eating as soon as possible. When everyone ate almost, she proposed, "Would you like to go for a walk and shopping after dinner?"
"Miss, do you have nowhere to vent? I took care of you all night yesterday, and I still want to sleep later. Deng Kai said respectfully. Xiaojie doesn't care. He always looks at Deng Kaijing. Deng Kaijing said he would go, and he would go. Deng Kaijing said he wouldn't go, and he had no reason to follow him. After all, he is not familiar with this woman.
"Let's go. It's rare for people to come once." Zhang Qing said coquettishly that this was indeed the first time she came here. In the past, she was trapped at home, either practicing the piano or going to a dance class, or learning embroidery, so she usually didn't have any time for herself.
"Okay, I'll accompany you around. I'll come back to bed after shopping for a while. Although Deng Kaijing promised to go out, he always wanted to sleep.
"No, I have to go to a place after shopping." Zhang Qing stubbornly refuted Deng Kaijing's words. She didn't want to waste this free time on sleeping, although she was also very tired.
"Where is it?" Deng Kaijing said impatiently that he only had one idea now, that is, to sleep, because he was too tired.
"Go to Pub." Zhang Qing said excitedly, this was also the first time in her life.
After hearing the word Pub, Deng Kaijing felt that Zhang Qing was repaying yesterday's 'avenging'. She said she was very tired, and she also said she was going to Pub? Isn't this playing tricks on him?
"I won't go!" Deng Kaijing rejected her 'proposal'.
"Okay, what happened yesterday... my injury... tomorrow's newspaper..." Zhang Qing deliberately said a paragraph intermittently, and was also secretly observing Deng Kaijing's face.
After Deng Kaijing heard her words, his face changed from white to red, then to purple, and finally turned cyan. He lowered his head and said weakly, "Go ahead."
Zhang Qing, who has been watching Deng Kaijing's face change, is now covering her stomach and squatting on the ground and laughing, and so is Xiao Jie. Because the expression on Deng Kaijing's face just now was really funny.
Deng Kaijing, as the 'protagonist', is staring at the girl who is squatting on the ground laughing in front of her at this moment, thinking to herself: She is quite cute~
