Chapter 349 He Confessed His Love to Me
Chapter 349 He Confessed His Love to Me
The next day, Xu Wen made an appointment with Jiang Li to have dinner at the western restaurant of the "Lihualuo" hotel at 7 o'clock in the evening.
This "Lihualuo" is one of the best restaurants in this city. The food is delicious, but the price is shocking.
Why did Xu Wen ask her to go there? Did he happen to be doing something nearby today?
In the evening, Jiang Li deliberately arrived fifteen minutes early, but unexpectedly, Xu Wen was still earlier than her. Moreover, he seemed to have dressed up specially today, and he looked neat and handsome.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Li was attracted by the "Lihualuo" Western restaurant.
The decoration here is very beautiful and elegant, and every detail shows elegant taste. And there is a flower carefully placed on each table, which can be seen to be freshly picked every day.
However, when her eyes fell on the seat where Xu Wen was sitting, Jiang Li's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
In addition to the flower specially provided by the Western restaurant, there was an extra bouquet on the table.
The bouquet of flowers is bright and colorful.
Looking at the bouquet of flowers on the table, Jiang Li suddenly felt embarrassed to go up and her steps became hesitant.
This Xuwen, why are you preparing flowers?
Is it...
Jiang Li wanted to turn around and leave, but Xu Wen kept looking towards the door from time to time, so he soon noticed her.
Well, now that we are here, we can’t just run away.
"Sorry." Jiang Li walked forward apologetically, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Xu Wen smiled and shook his head: "No, I just got here too."
As he spoke, Xu Wen even stood up and helped Jiang Li pull out the stool in a gentlemanly manner.
He was so gentlemanly that Jiang Li felt a little helpless.
After Jiang Li sat down, Xu Wen said a little embarrassedly: "I saw a flower shop on the way here, and I thought their flowers were well matched, so I... bought a bouquet for you. I wonder if you like it?"
This flower...
The flowers are beautifully matched. Jiang Li really likes this bouquet of flowers.
However, these were flowers sent by Xu Wen, and no matter how much she liked them, she didn't dare to accept them easily.
So Jiang Li could only nod slightly and said, "This flower is very beautiful, but... it's a pity to give it to me. I'm not very good at taking care of flowers."
Xu Wen raised the corners of his lips slightly: "The owner of the flower shop said that these flowers can be kept for about a week. If you like them, I will change them for you next week."
This……
The more Jiang Li listened to this, the more nervous she became.
"Xu Wen, you..."
"Come, let me give you the key first, so you don't forget it later."
Jiang Li then remembered that she came here today specifically to get the key, so she didn't care about being shy and forgetting the main thing. So Jiang Li quickly took the key and put it back in her bag properly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't we order first? See what you like to eat?"
Xu Wen handed over the menu. Jiang Li flipped through the menu carefully and decided that "Lihualuo" was a restaurant she couldn't afford. This... this... this...
It's so expensive! How can I eat this?
Jiang Li couldn't order, so she handed the menu back to Xu Wen.
"You better take care of it. The food here should be delicious even if you order it with your eyes closed. Just order a steak for me."
"it is good."
Xu Wen ordered a set meal for two, and while waiting for the food, he chatted with Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, I'm ready to come back and develop."
"Ah? Come back? You mean... return to your country?"
"Yes, I'm back in China, and my new job is in Hangzhou. In fact, I came back this time specifically for an interview, but I didn't tell you before it was confirmed."
"Then what you say now means..."
"Yes." Xu Wen said with a hearty smile, "I passed the interview."
As a classmate, Jiang Li was still very happy for Xu Wen.
"In fact, with your ability, it should be easy to pass no matter which company you go to."
Xu Wen smiled a little embarrassedly: "That's not that easy."
"In the hearts of our classmates, you are very capable." Jiang Li's eyes lit up as she praised.
"You were a great student before, always getting the top score in every exam. After graduation, you found such a good job. If you ask me, you are the one who has developed the best in our class. With your ability, you should be very confident."
Xu Wen was a little embarrassed by the compliments: "Maybe I am afraid of losing face, I want to save face, I want to have a plan for everything, even after the results are out, I will talk about it later."
Jiang Li smiled, revealing her two canine teeth: "It's indeed your style, always seeking stability."
As they talked and laughed, the dishes were served one after another.
The two of them picked up their knives and forks and started eating.
It turns out that she found a new job. No wonder Xu Wen asked her out for dinner. This must be a celebration party.
Jiang Li felt that she was overthinking it.
Maybe I bought those flowers on the way, and I really was...
"Jiang Li, actually..."
Jiang Li comforted herself and raised her head when she heard the words. Xu Wen seemed a little nervous at this time. Jiang Li saw him even pinch the corner of the table, but then let go quietly.
"I have liked you for a long time, and I want to pursue you."
With a "clang", the knife and fork in Jiang Li's hand fell.
This……
he……
she……
Could she pretend she was deaf?
"Xu...Xu Wen."
Jiang Li swallowed the beef in her mouth with great difficulty. Probably because she was frightened, the originally tender beef suddenly became hard to chew. Her throat was also dry, and she almost choked to death when she tried to swallow it down.
"Xu Wen, we... don't seem to have been together for very long."
Xu Wen smiled: "Three years of high school, isn't that long enough?"
"But we haven't seen each other for many years. People... people change."
"I don't think you have."
After spending these few times together, Xu Wen felt that Jiang Li was still the same Jiang Li, exactly the same as he remembered.
"Do you think I've changed?"
"you?"
Jiang Li originally wanted to say that you seem to have become better, but after thinking about it, this didn't seem to be the crux of the problem.
"In fact, whether it changes or not is not the point, but..."
"Ginger pear."
Xu Wen suddenly interrupted him, looking serious: "I know, whether it changes or not is not the point, but the feeling. I liked you many years ago, and now when I see you, I am still moved."
From the heart-pounding feeling in my youth to the worry now.
Xu Wen knew that he just liked her.
No matter how far apart they were, how much time had passed, no matter what she looked like now.
But now, when Jiang Li looked at him, she was less shy and ignorant than when she was young, but more open and generous. Xu Wen felt that she did not have any romantic feelings for him, but more of a friendship between classmates.
According to his personality, he never does anything without certainty.
But Jiang Li might be an accident.
People change and they run away.
He was afraid that if he continued to observe, hesitate, and speculate, Jiang Li might be abducted away by some other man.
By then, it will be too late to regret.
Therefore, Xu Wen didn't care about his face anymore. Even if he risked the embarrassment of being rejected, he had to give it a try.
"But……"
Jiang Li put down her knife and fork and looked at him seriously.
"Xu Wen, I have someone I like."
