Chapter 110: Remarriage, okay?
Kong Nanzhu was angry and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. Qin Qi didn't know how he had offended her, and he turned his head from time to time to observe her expression.
Could it be that she knew that he had returned to work in the company?
Qin Qi asked Xiao Liu to go downstairs in advance to help queue up. When they arrived, there were seven tables in front of them waiting for a seat.
When Xiao Liu saw Qin Qi actually bringing Kong Nanzhu out to eat, he was so excited that he burst into tears and refused to be a light bulb and stay to eat with them. He made the excuse that he had an appointment with a friend and left faster than anyone else.
In fact, he went home to eat instant noodles.
Between instant noodles and hot pot hot pot meat, his stomach yearns for meat and sesame sauce, but his heart chooses to protect his boss's love.
"There are too many people. Let's go back to the car and wait."
Kong Nanzhu had experienced being recognized on the street several times in recent times, and she could better understand Qin Qi's caution and prudence in the past. Just like now, several people were craning their necks to look in their direction from time to time.
I guess he has recognized them.
It was difficult to park in front of the store, so they went around half the street and parked the car in the underground garage of a shopping mall. Qin Qi looked down at Kong Nanzhu's high-heeled sandals, which were at least five centimeters high. He could clearly see that the front ends of her fair and round toes were slightly red and swollen, so he picked up the only empty chair in the waiting area.
Qin Qi motioned Kong Nanzhu to sit down, "Just wait here."
Kong Nanzhu was terrified when he saw him carrying the chair with one hand. He couldn't get rid of the inherent idea that he was a wounded patient, and was afraid that it would hurt his wound. "Just sit down. I'm not tired."
Qin Qi looked at her sincerely, "How about you sit on my lap?"
Kong Nanzhu turned his eyes away and sat down on the chair silently.
"It's fun to tease me, isn't it?"
In the past, Kong Nanzhu felt that she held the key to Qin Qi’s little world. She was one of the few people in the world who could guess his thoughts and understand his intentions. Now she didn’t know whether she had lost the key or Qin Qi had changed the lock. She could no longer see through Qin Qi.
It was clearly him who said he wanted to pursue her again, and she clearly mustered up the courage to try with him again, but he decided to go abroad.
She didn't want to have any more expectations.
Qin Qi could say such teasing words easily, but Kong Nanzhu couldn't act as if nothing had happened.
Qin Qi stared with his eyes wide open. The more nervous he became, the more speechless he became. He had lost his ability to talk freely. He found himself becoming even more clumsy than he had imagined. In the end, he could only weakly say, "I'm not kidding you. I just want to get closer to you."
The call was made over the loudspeaker, and a couple walked into the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter . The girl held her boyfriend's arm affectionately and complained in a delicate voice that she had waited for a long time and was hungry. The boy smiled and coaxed her, saying that he would order all the dishes on the menu for her.
They passed by Kong Nanzhu and Qin Qi, only five meters apart, but it seemed like they were in two different worlds.
Although the store is not big, business is booming. White steam is coming out of the central air-conditioning outlet, but it still can't stop the copper stoves burning charcoal in the room. It is about to enter the hot summer, and whether it is locals or tourists, everyone's love for hot pot is not seasonal.
"Planning to go abroad?"
Kong Nanzhu asked calmly, stirring the sesame paste with chopsticks slowly and deliberately. The extra little movements could hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Qin Qi was flustered for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his expression. This was the main purpose of his meeting Kong Nanzhu for dinner today. Maybe it was not the best time, and maybe Kong Nanzhu was not willing to accept it, but he had already made mental preparations.
"Yes, the time has not been determined yet, but the plan is to go out for further studies for a period of time." Qin Qi carefully observed Kong Nanzhu's expression, not missing any slightest change.
Kong Nanzhu tasted the sesame paste.
I didn't taste anything.
Anyway, I feel really bad.
"Qin Qi, you are indeed different from before. I can't figure out what you are really thinking." Kong Nanzhu called the waiter, "Bring me a bottle of beer."
Qin Qi hadn't figured out how to respond to the first half of the question when he heard her suddenly want to drink. His eyes widened, "It's just the two of us. What kind of wine do you want to drink?"
“Celebrate, celebrate. Celebrate that you have a new goal in life and that you are about to embark on a new journey.”
The waitress brought two cups, and Kong Nanzhu asked her to take one away. "Don't drink it if you're taking medicine. This is for me. The pot is boiling, let's eat the meat."
Kong Nanzhu took a bite of meat and sipped wine with a very heroic movement. She didn't look like the dignified and elegant young lady at all. She seemed to blend into the noisy and bustling atmosphere of the restaurant. Qin Qi was stunned.
Within a few minutes, sweat began to appear on the tip of Kong Nanzhu's nose. She concentrated on eating and didn't even look at Qin Qi.
That was all she said, and it seemed like she had no intention of listening to Qin Qi's explanation.
"Eat, why are you standing there?" Seeing that Qin Qi was slow to pick up his chopsticks and swallow the meat in his mouth, Kong Nanzhu urged him loudly, staring at the pot as if he had not eaten for several lifetimes.
Qin Qi held Kong Nanzhu's hand as she continued to put food into the pot.
Even so, Kong Nanzhu didn't even look at him. He turned around and shouted to the waiter, "Add another portion of pickled garlic!"
"Nannan, look at me."
Kong Nanzhu pulled his hand back and grinned, "What's so good about you? There's nothing on your face. Eat."
Kong Nanzhu used a slotted spoon to put meat into Qin Qi's bowl, and after he finished his, he put his own.
Qin Qi said with difficulty: "You just put this tofu in there."
Kong Nanzhu paused and put the tofu in the colander into the seasoning bowl. "It's okay. You can eat the tofu raw."
Qin Qi really couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
"Stop eating, Nannan, look at me, what's wrong with you?"
Kong Nanzhu turned a deaf ear to him and instead increased the speed of stuffing the food into her mouth. The tofu, which had just been taken out of the hot pot, was scalding hot, yet she dared to pick it up and put it into her mouth. Qin Qi directly knocked the chopsticks out of her hand, and the tofu was returned to the condiment bowl, splashing a circle of sauce.
Qin Qi was terrified. He was as scared as when Kong Nanzhu destroyed the flower wall in the B&B during the hot spring trip .
Kong Nanzhu silently picked up the chopsticks and wiped the mess on the table with a tissue. As Qin Qi wished, he raised his red eyes and looked at him, "You asked me to come to dinner, so I'm here. If you have anything to say, just say it. I can accept whatever you want to say."
Faced with Kong Nanzhu's uncontrollable tears, Qin Qi wanted to carry her home right away, hold her in his arms and ask her why she was sad and whether he had done something wrong again, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"If you don't tell me, I will." Kong Nanzhu raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine. He closed his eyes and swallowed the wine and tears together. "What should we do? Give me an explanation."
Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Qi's mind, and any extra explanations were futile. He remembered what Dr. Han said, that he should be honest with himself.
"When I come back, we can remarry, okay?"
Kong Nanzhu's sadness came to an abrupt end, and there were even tears on her face.
She had already had the words "go your separate ways" on the tip of her tongue.
What did Qin Qi say?
He wants to remarry?
The steam from the copper pot blurred Qin Qi's face. Kong Nanzhu took out a piece of paper and wiped away her tears in an unladylike manner. She waved away the mist that blocked her vision and adjusted her sitting posture. "I wasn't ready just now. Say it again."
Qin Qi really said it again.
"Let's remarry, okay?"
Kong Nanzhu heard it clearly this time.
She threw the tissue that she had used to wipe her nose directly at Qin Qi's face.
"Fuck you! I gave you face, right? Are you kidding me?!"
