My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Lin Lin hung up the phone and said to the two sisters next to her, "I felt a little disgusted after dinner. The beef was too fatty."

Zhao Jia touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little fed up with it. I usually eat fatty meat, but this one feels so fatty."

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at the two of them and said, "I guess everyone at the venue went there to eat. There were so many people that the dishes were prepared in advance and are a little cold. There's a small supermarket next to the hotel. Let's see if they have any popsicles for sale. I can have a popsicle to help me feel better."

When the three of them arrived at the supermarket, they saw that there were actually old popsicles for sale. Each of them took one, and when paying, Lu Xiaoqiao rushed to scan the QR code.

When they came out of the supermarket, Lu Xiaoqiao pointed to the flowerbeds under the green trees on both sides of the hotel entrance and said, "Let's go there to eat before going upstairs! We can't eat in the elevator, so we have to wait until the room is warm."

When they came to the flower bed, Lu Xiaoqiao gathered her skirt, looked it over, and squatted on the flower bed after she felt that it was okay. Lin Lin was also wearing a skirt and followed Lu Xiaoqiao's example.

A few people tore open the packaging bags, squatted on the flower bed, and ate popsicles while looking at the distant scenery.

Lin Lin had never eaten this before. As soon as she took a sip, she felt the coolness and refreshing taste. "I've never eaten anything like this before! It's delicious, really helps relieve greasiness, and it's cheap, only two yuan."

Just now she saw Lu Xiaoqiao pay six dollars.

Lu Xiaoqiao took a bite of the popsicle in her hand and said, "Isn't it better than your ice cream that costs hundreds of dollars? This is still expensive. Normal supermarkets only sell it for one dollar."

"Ah? So we overpaid? I'm so angry! I could have bought six, but now I can only buy three."

Zhao Jia ignored their chatter, her gaze fixed on a figure in the distance. "Hey! Look at that man standing under that tree over there. Does he look like Mr. Zhou?"

Lu Xiaoqiao and Lin Lin looked in the direction Zhao Jia pointed at the same time.

Under a big tree not far away, a man stood with his back to them. The dim light from the street lamp shone obliquely on him, outlining his slender and slightly lonely figure.

His left hand was casually placed in his trouser pocket, and he held a cigarette in his right hand. The cigarette butt flickered in the darkness, and the smoke slowly dissipated under the dim light, blurring his face.

"uncle!"

Lin Lin called out softly in Zhou Qizhen's direction. Although her voice was not loud, he still heard it.

Zhou Qizhen turned around and when his eyes met Lin Lin, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly came to his senses.

Then he stretched out his long legs and walked steadily towards the group: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Lin raised her hand and held up the old popsicle that she hadn't finished yet: "Dinner was a bit oily, so I'll eat a popsicle to help with the greasiness."

Zhao Jia didn't expect that the man she pointed at was actually Mr. Zhou. She quickly stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't stand up, but greeted him softly.

Zhou Qizhen nodded in response, then stood beside Lin Lin, staring down at Lu Xiaoqiao who was squatting there.

His attention was not on the fact that she did not stand up to greet him, but on watching her take bites of the popsicle one after another.

Every time she took a bite, she would chew it in her mouth, showing no fear of the cold at all. Her soft lips also became more rosy and plump due to the stimulation of the cold...

Zhou Qizhen only felt his throat suddenly tighten.

I wanted to take another puff of cigarette to relieve the pain, but suddenly I felt that smoking in front of a lady was not a gentlemanly act.

"Xiao Qiao, why are you eating so fast?" Lin Lin looked at the half-eaten old popsicle in her hand, and then looked at the only wooden stick left in Lu Xiaoqiao's hand.

"Xiao Qiao is not afraid of ice. She always bites her teeth like this." Zhao Jia also admires Lu Xiaoqiao's teeth.

"And she can eat several at a time."

Lin Lin was surprised: "Ah? Then your teeth are not cold at all?"

When Zhou Qizheng heard Zhao Jia say that Lu Xiaoqiao ate many popsicles at once, he frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Girls should eat less ice."

Because of the order in which the words were spoken, Lu Xiaoqiao mistakenly thought that Zhou Qizhen was dissatisfied with her for taking Lin Lin to eat popsicles. After all, any elder hopes that the younger generation can learn good things from their friends.

However, she still wanted to explain why people misunderstood her: "We only bought one ice cream each this time, and didn't let Lin Lin eat more."

Zhou Qizhen raised his eyebrows unexpectedly after hearing this. He had a slightly angry expression on his face. Did he think that he was talking about her just now?

"I'm not referring to Lin Lin alone. I'm talking about all girls."

Seeing that she stopped talking and squatted there waiting for the sisters who had not finished eating, Zhou Qizhen felt a little anxious, wondering if he had ruined this hard-earned opportunity.

"give it to me!"

"What?" Lu Xiaoqiao looked at the big hand that suddenly stretched out in front of her in a daze.

"Wooden stick, aren't you done eating? I'll go throw it away."

After realizing what he meant, she felt a little surprised and a little embarrassed: "Ah? No need..."

Before Lu Xiaoqiao could finish her words, Zhou Qizhen had already reached out and snatched the stick from her hand.

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

"I just want to throw this away." Zhou Qizhen raised his hand and pointed at the cigarette in his hand.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Qizhen walked to the trash can, looked at the wooden stick in his hand, put out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs of, and threw it into the trash can.

Just now, when he reached out to take the wooden stick from Lu Xiaoqiao's hand, his fingertips inadvertently touched her soft little hand. At that moment, it seemed as if a tiny electric current quickly spread throughout his body.

I twisted it gently with my fingers, and there seemed to be a faint touch there.

When they returned, after Lin Lin and Zhao Jia finished their meal, they took the elevator upstairs together. Zhou Qizhen sent the three of them to the door of their room before taking the elevator upstairs to his own room.

……

The next morning.

Lu Xiaoqiao woke up in the morning and was worried about what to wear. She didn't meet any potential clients the whole day yesterday, but she received a call from an interested client at the end of the day.

Although the main purpose of this activity is not to receive orders at that time, she still hopes to be lucky enough to receive an order.

The customer said that he would bring a colleague to look at the samples today. Later, the two of them just added each other on WeChat and left. I was still full of hope to be able to close the deal.

She was busy all day yesterday. Although her clothes were not dirty, she had worn them all day and it was not appropriate to wear them again.

So, Lu Xiaoqiao wore that French dress.

She was originally worried that yesterday's clients would not remember her if she suddenly changed her clothes, but Lin Lin and Zhao Jia said that clients would feel that they were valued more if they dressed more formally, so she finally felt relieved.

After they arrived at the venue, they immediately got busy.

Yesterday, on the first day, there were not many people, and Lin Lin and Zhao Jia still had time to visit the designs of other brands. Today, there were suddenly more people, and the two of them also followed Lu Xiaoqiao to get busy.

When it was almost time to get off work, the potential customer from yesterday finally showed up. Lu Xiaoqiao, who had originally given up hope, unexpectedly managed to secure this big order.

After seeing the customers off, Lu Xiaoqiao happily hugged the two friends who had just worked with him.

The three of them decided to go out for a nice meal in the evening to celebrate.
