Delayed confession

"I have a job." Xu Weixi thought for a moment and added,

"I don't have a partner. Maybe it's because I'm working in another city."

"What about now? You're back to work at Xiqiao. Would you consider it?"

Seeing his friend suddenly looking at him seriously, Xu Weixi paused, "What are you considering? Blind date?"

"You don't have to go on a blind date, there are people pursuing you." Joey said, and chuckled.

Just when Xu Weixi was confused and ready to ask,

"Your boiled fish. Spicy and sour potato shreds, braised eggplant, your dishes are all here."

Xu Weixi nodded and thanked him.

"It really lives up to its reputation. It's worth my long trip."

Xu Weixi gently picked up a piece of eggplant and put it in the bowl, looking at her friend with a teasing look on her face, "Why, do you think that food is the most important thing and everything else is just a passing cloud?"

"Let's not talk about it. We are still good friends." Joey raised his head and said seriously.

Xu Weixi handed her a glass of water, "My dear friend, is it spicy?"

"It's spicy, but very refreshing." Joey took the cup of water, swallowed the fish in his mouth, gulped down the water in the cup until not a drop was left, and kept sipning his saliva.

Xu Weixi thought about it, and asked the waiter to get another box of rice, "Eat it with other foods, or your stomach won't be able to handle it."

"Hmm," Joey took the bowl and asked, "Why don't you eat it? It's really delicious."

Xu Weixi nodded, indicating that she didn't need to worry about him.

Looking at his friend who was feasting on the food across from him, Xu Weixi smiled dotingly, and his previous unhappy mood also improved.

——Food is really healing!

When the two of them finished eating, Mu Guanyu had not finished yet. He said hello and left.

On the way to Wanglongdong Market, the two were stopped by a young girl carrying a red banner.

"Two beauties, we are from the Aimu Company. Our company will organize an eight-minute dating event at 3 pm this Sunday. I hope you can come and participate. There will be generous prizes."

After the girl finished speaking, she handed out a flyer to each person and went to find her next target, leaving Joey with a look of resentment, pointing at his own face in grievance.

"Do we look alike without boyfriends?"

"Okay, don't worry about it. It's also my job. Let's go."

Xu Weixi originally wanted to throw away the flyers, but she couldn't find a trash can, so she folded up the flyers together with Joey's and put them in the side pocket of her bag.

The two of them ate slowly and unknowingly reached the entrance of Wanglong Cave.

In the past, Wanglong Cave was a large farmers' market with vegetable vendors shouting on both sides. Now it is a collection of small integrated houses that are clean and tidy, and the roads have also been expanded a lot.

"Wanglong Cave has changed so much now. Do you still remember that time when the school organized a camping trip and the four of us came out to buy things?" Joey gestured excitedly.

Xu Weixi stood at the entrance of the square, thinking about the on-campus camping trip at the end of his second year of high school.

-

After the bell rang for the morning self-study session, the head teacher came to Xu Weixi's seat.

"Wei Xi, for tomorrow's camping trip, the class monitor will be responsible for organizing the students, and you will be responsible for purchasing supplies. Here is the list. I will send two more people to get you the supplies."

"Teacher, I'll go." Mu Guanyu leaned over from behind and said with a grin.

"I don't see you being active in your studies, but you're not behind in this kind of thing."

“Isn’t this serving the people?”

Xu Weixi felt Qiao Yi pulling at her sleeve, and quickly said, "Teacher, let Qiao Yi go too, she has good taste."

"Okay, that's fine, you three,"

Just as the head teacher was speaking, a cold voice rang out, "I'm going too."

"Okay, the four of you go together and come back before 12 o'clock. And," before he could finish his words, the head teacher was called away by someone at the door.

Xu Weixi turned around and looked at the boy who acted as if nothing had happened, feeling a little surprised. After all, in her impression, he didn't seem to like group activities very much.

When Qiao Yi saw the teacher leave, she excitedly shook her and said, "Xibao, let's go to the small garden to buy some. The vegetables and meat there are very cheap and good."

"it is good."

the next day,

After the four met at the agreed intersection.

Xu Weixi and Qiao Yi, who were riding bicycles, were dumbfounded when they saw Gu Mochuan and Mu Guanyu opposite them.

"It's a small garden, the car can't get in." Joey whispered.

When Xu Weixi saw the car on the opposite side, her forehead twitched involuntarily. She should have thought that these two young masters should not know about the small garden. She asked with a headache,

“Can you ride a bike?”

"I can."

"I won't."

The two voices sounded at the same time, and Gu Mochuan's words were justified.

"Can you bring people with you?" Xu Weixi asked hopefully as she looked at Joey, who was curiously fiddling with the little bell on his car.

"No, I can ride it myself."

Xu Weixi originally planned to take care of Qiao Yi himself and Mu Guanyu would take care of Gu Mochuan, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Gu Mochuan, who had been playing with his phone, spoke up.

“We can go to the supermarket to buy it.”

The boy put away his phone and stood beside them like a model, looking at them with pride, as if he was very satisfied with the plan he proposed.

“The budget is not enough.”

Gu Mochuan seemed to be unaware that he was the one disliked by the girls, and said generously,

"I'll go out."

Xu Weixi raised his eyebrows and handed out a small notebook from his backpack.

"Here's the list, go get it, we'll be waiting for you here."

Mu Guanyu looked at the goddess who seemed to be smiling and his friend who didn't know the goddess' temper, and snatched the list away with a smile.

"No, this is a group activity, it would be meaningless if we do this."

"Joey, can you lead someone?"

Joey nodded.

Mu Guanyu also offered a solution, "How about this? Wei Xi, you take me, and Qiao Yi takes Gu Mochuan."

"can."

"No."

When Xu Weixi heard Gu Mochuan's refusal again, her brows immediately frowned and she looked at him coldly.

"Xu Weixi took me, Joey's car was too low and my legs were too long."

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted.

Joey looked at him indignantly, "You're laughing at my little pinkie?"

...

Joey touched her shoulder, "Do you remember?"

"Well, this place has changed a lot. It used to be a cement road with potholes all over it."

"Not only that, the corridors have become much wider. Cars couldn't get in before."

"By the way, Gu Mochuan almost crushed your bicycle at that time."

Joey said to himself,

"You said he looked thin, but he weighs 140 pounds."

Xu Weixi looked at her friend thoughtfully, "Aren't you looking at the clothes?"

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost complete, Joey said with a smile, "Isn't this just a response to seeing a familiar scene?"

A ringing sound interrupted Xu Weixi's inquiring eyes. Seeing Qiao Yi answer the phone, she took a few steps to the side.
