Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words
Chapter 373 Forgot?
Looking at the seductive look, Xuan Li raised his eyebrows.
Wouldn't this guy recognize me?
Was the mask I wore at the beginning useless?
That sudden urge to grab the boots back then is a bit embarrassing now...
"Hello, nice to meet you, Xuanli."
Qingyi and Seth went to help Zhu Yuan prepare the dinner, and Xuanli sat on the sofa, looked at Jian and spoke softly.
No matter what, you should always say hello.
Even if Jane recognized him, given her personality, she wouldn't do anything, at least not right now.
But to Xuan Li's surprise, Jian not only did not react at all, but continued to stare at him in a daze.
Now it was Xuanli's turn to be confused.
Things seem to be a little different from what I thought.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xuan Li raised his hand and waved it in front of Jane, trying to bring her back to her senses.
Jane just moved her eyes and then looked away, as if she was restraining something.
Xuan Li could clearly notice that Jane's breathing was becoming rapid, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise. At this time, Zhu Yuan, the host of the house, had just finished what he was doing and walked over.
"How was your conversation?"
Zhu Yuan smiled slightly. In her opinion, Jian and Xuan Li were both people with high emotional intelligence, so they should get along very well.
Xuan Li didn't say anything, but just spread his hands to express his helplessness.
"what happened?"
Seeing this, Zhu Yuan asked with some confusion, her eyes fell on Jian, who did not look at her, but raised his head again and pointed at herself.
Those eyes looked at Xuan Li's face again.
"You...really don't remember me?"
As the words fell softly, Xuan Li was stunned. His eyes widened slightly and met Jian's glimmering eyes. He was silent for a few seconds.
As his emotions began to stir, Xuan Li frowned.
"I guess we haven't met before..."
This reaction didn't seem like the experience from the underground black market last time, but other...
He was sure he had never met Jane.
"Hmm? You guys knew each other before?"
Zhu Yuan blinked curiously and looked at the two of them. In her impression, Jane should have never met Xuan Li.
After all, before this, Jian had not officially joined the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team, and the work she did had nothing to do with Xuan Li's.
"I am not sure."
This time, Xuan Li was also a little hesitant, so he didn't say anything absolute, and looked at Jane with a frown.
"No, it's nothing."
Jian looked at Xuan Li's reaction, his expression paused, and then a faint smile quickly appeared on his face and he waved his hand.
"I must have recognized the wrong person. After all, my current job requires me to interact with many people and understand many things..."
After explaining, Jane patted her head helplessly and said
"I've been so busy lately that my mind is a little confused. I can even make mistakes when I recognize people..."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuan suddenly understood and nodded with concern.
"Jane, you really should take a break. It just so happens that the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team has been idle recently..."
After giving the instructions, Qingyi came out of the kitchen, with water stains on her hands. She looked at the three people and said
"What happen to you guys?"
After asking symbolically, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the three people, Qingyi no longer cared and turned his gaze to Zhu Yuan.
"Zhu Yuan, my aunt and I will be ready soon. Go get the cake..."
"it is good."
Zhu Yuan nodded, obviously believing Jane's explanation, and turned to walk towards the refrigerator.
In the huge living room, Jian sat next to Xuan Li, looking at Zhu Yuan's back, but her attention was not on him. A hint of thought flashed in her eyes.
Retracting her gaze, Jian secretly glanced at Xuan Li, and saw that he looked normal and was talking to Zhu Yuan. She realized that her words had worked.
After the initial shock and joy, Jane's mood quickly calmed down. She needed to understand the situation.
First determine the identity, then investigate the cause.
At least...Xuan Li really didn't seem to know her.
Thick doubts shrouded her heart, and Jane was thinking to herself, appearing very quiet to others.
Soon, Zhu Yuan placed the birthday cake on the small table beside him. Xuan Li, Qing Yi and Seth also helped. After a while, a dinner was ready.
Outside the window, the sound of rain was chaotic and the oppressive dark clouds were rolling, but under the isolation of the light, the inside and outside of the house seemed like two different worlds.
The table in the living room was filled with steaming dishes. After he was almost done, Xuan Li smiled and said,
"Auntie's cooking skills are so appetizing just by looking at them. I, a poor cook, am really envious."
"That's nothing, I have someone's help."
Zhu Yuan's mother naturally couldn't accept the guest's praise calmly. She said it with a smile, and Zhu Yuan beside her also smiled.
"Given my aunt's excellence, I'm sure Zhu Yuan's cooking skills are not bad either. Speaking of which, I haven't tasted it yet..."
Xuan Li said this casually, intending to start a conversation, but Zhu Yuan's expression froze when he heard this.
Cooking skills?
She seemed to be very skilled at making scrambled eggs with tomatoes...
"Haha, in that case, let Zhu Yuan cook next time we're guests, so we don't have to run around all the time..."
Zhu Yuan's father had a kind face, but after he said this, Zhu Yuan beside him quickly said
"Well, it doesn't matter who cooks. We can talk about this later..."
As he spoke, he glared at Xuan Li secretly.
Having said that, when this guy comes to visit her someday, she will definitely let him try out the food...
This is where her parents live, so she naturally has her own little home.
Xuan Li was a little confused when Zhu Yuan glared at him for no reason, but the atmosphere was so cheerful that he no longer cared in a moment.
The birthday dinner started soon. As the birthday girl, Zhu Yuan was obviously the focus of the dinner. However, she was a little shy and obviously could not cope with Xuan Li and Jian, the two main attackers who livened up the atmosphere.
After a while, Zhu Yuan, whose face was covered with cream, blushed at Xuan Li's teasing.
If it weren't for Qingyi's help and Seth's invisible relief due to his confusion, she would have had the urge to run away.
The uncle and aunt on the other side didn't care at all. They kept smiling and watched their daughter and her friends playing with a spectator's attitude.
As laughter and joy rang out, time slowly flowed by.
After the dinner, there was no mess left and several people cleaned it up quickly together.
After my uncle and aunt were tired, they went to rest. Because it was raining heavily outside, Zhu Yuan asked Qingyi and others to stay overnight at his home.
Although there were quite a few people, Zhu Yuan's parents' house was very big, and the empty bedrooms were just enough for two people to share a room.
The night is getting late.
……
“Ah… I feel so full…”
Seth spoke softly as he lay in bed, looking as if he didn't want to move at all.
