The night is low, and a bright moon hangs in the horizon outside the dining room window.

The crystal chandelier above the head fell, and the boiled fish in the pot was boiling and bubbled.

Others were eating and chatting, but Duan Zhuo rarely used his chopsticks. There were only two pieces of red and white fish in the white porcelain bowl in front of him, vaguely steaming.

He held his eyelashes and looked deep, rubbing his cell phone in his hand, and from time to time he raised his eyes to look at the private room where Zhimian had just walked into.

The door of the box is tightly closed.

Only the delivery staff occasionally come in and out to deliver the dishes, and when they open the door, it seems to be lively.

The girl should be very happy tonight.

She was dressed very beautifully and put on light makeup. She didn't know who she was having dinner with.

He thought she would be depressed after leaving him, so he hid alone and cried alone. Maybe he could not help but call him in the end and said he would not be willing to break up with him.

She obviously likes him so much.

When I looked at him, my eyes were filled with stars, and I showed my love for him.

However, now that he left him, he was like he was fine.

Even when I saw him just now, it was as if I hadn't seen it.

Did she pretend to show him?

Duan Zhuo felt so blocked by something in his heart and was upset.

"Duan Zhuo, why don't you eat it?" said someone else, "This fish tastes very good."

He doesn't like spicy food.

But when eating with others, I never mention it.

Only Zhimian would take care of his taste. When she was with him, the table was filled with light food, even if she liked it so much.

Duan Zhuo put his phone on the table and withdrew his indifferent gaze: "You eat, don't be hungry."

Seeing that he was not very emotional all day long and was taciturn, the person at the deskmate tried to talk to him: "Duan Zhuo, by the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

The man's expression paused.

Another person next to him smiled: "He has it. I heard Mr. Lu mention it before, saying that Duan Zhuo's girlfriend is younger and very beautiful, and the two of them stood together. Hey, I'm almost thirty and still single, and I can't find a wife."

"You just fell in love when you were young. My wife and I met in high school. We have been talking for almost ten years now. We are both first loves. I secretly tell you that she was chasing me back then."

"Yoyouyou, you are so charming in high school, so when do you two plan to get married?"

"Get a marriage certificate next month, and it is estimated that the wedding will be held in June."

"Congratulations in advance, this is finally completed. It is too difficult to marry your first love."

While talking and laughing, Duan Zhuo stood up, and the other people's chatter came to an abrupt end.

The man picked up the cigarette on the table and his face turned gloomy: "Smoke a cigarette, you can eat it."

“…??”

The few people looked at each other, all of whom were suspicious.

Duan Zhuo walked to the airy corridor next to the bathroom, which was much quieter. He leaned against the wall, lit the cigarette in his hand, took a sip, suppressing his bored mood like an explosion.

Xu Siyuan came out of the bathroom, and the cell phone ringed. He walked to the corridor to answer the phone.

"Well, then you come to the studio tomorrow..."

Speaking to the other end of the phone, Xu Siyuan suddenly glanced at a scarlet glimmer in the corner of the dim vision.

He fixed his eyes and found that there was a man smoking five meters away.

"Okay, that's how it comes first."

The phone was hung up, and Xu Siyuan finished speaking. When he raised his eyes again, he saw the smoking man lifting his eyelids and glanced at him.

Xu Siyuan was slightly stunned and suddenly thought of a person he had met.

With a clear vision, Xu Siyuan saw the man's tough facial features, like a dormant lion, with a strong aura. When he looked at him, he was filled with oppressive hostility.

As we looked at each other, no one spoke for a few seconds.

Xu Siyuan finally withdrew his gaze and turned away.

Duan Zhuo looked at his back and remembered the other person's appearance just now walking next to Zhimian, with a dark face-

At this evening, Zhimian and Xinchuang Studio had a great time.

She learned that Xinchuang Studio was founded by Xu Siyuan when he was in college. At first, he was the only one, but later it became larger and larger. Because he wanted to return to Lincheng to accompany his parents, he planned to move the studio back this year.

Zhimian also heard a few painters talking about past experiences, and she also talked about many experiences to Zhimian like her predecessors, which benefited her a lot.

After the end, everyone walked out of the restaurant and went home. Xu Siyuan said that he would send Youyou and Zhimian for a ride, but did not let them go back by themselves.

After sending Youyou home first, Xu Siyuan asked Zhimian where he stayed, and the girl reported the address.

Soothing light music was playing in the car. When the red light was red, Xu Siyuan tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and suddenly said, "Zhimian, have you... not contacted Si Meng now?"

Xu Simeng is Xu Siyuan's sister, Zhimian's deskmate back then.

Zhimian was stunned, "No."

"She is studying in college abroad and hasn't come back for a few days a year, so she has to go out alone." Xu Siyuan was silent for a while, "Are you still angry with her?"

"I also know something about it back then. I think she did something wrong. When she was a child, she was spoiled by my parents and had a bad temper. In fact, I blamed me. After I found out, I wanted her to apologize to you..."

Zhimian heard this and vaguely remembered the past.

Back then, she and Xu Simeng were best friends, and they talked about everything, and Xu Simeng also knew Zhimian’s life experience.

Zhimian often invites Xu Simeng to visit his home, and Duan Zhuo also stays at home from time to time.

Duan Zhuo's appearance is unstoppable to many girls. In addition, Duan Zhuo is also polite to Xu Simeng because of Zhimeng. Xu Simeng, who is intriguing in spring, actually feels like him, and even narcissistically thinks Duan Zhuo likes her.

Until one day she learned that Zhimian and Duan Zhuo were together, she suddenly felt like thunder and could not accept it. She felt that she was snatched from her best friend's love.

Zhimian also regarded Xu Simeng as a good friend and told Xu Simeng about his secret love. The other party learned that Zhimian had a secret love for Duan Zhuo for a long time, and he was even more unacceptable. In addition, he was jealous and told people everywhere that Zhimian was dirty in his mind and actually liked to raise her brother, and his behavior was inappropriate.

At that time, rumors were everywhere, and even spread to the teacher.

Zhimian suffered criticism and was deeply injured, so the two broke up.

Zhimian came back to his senses and said, "I don't feel anything about her anymore."

Duan Zhuo told her at that time that she didn't have to be sad and angry about such a person at all.

Xu Siyuan looked at the girl in the co-pilot and said, "Actually, I hope... you don't deliberately alienate me because of Si Meng. In fact, I also feel that I owe you very much..."

Zhimian interrupted him and smiled faintly: "I don't care about Brother Siyuan, I don't even care about it."

"That's good."

As the car was driving, Xu Siyuan asked about her recent situation and finally talked about her relationship: "You and your brother are wrong. You should be said to be your boyfriend, are you still together now?"

Zhimian was stunned.

"We've broken up."

Xu Siyuan was stunned and remembered the man who smoked, "I seemed to see him in the restaurant just now."

Zhimian was stunned, "See him?"

"Maybe I've seen it wrong, after all, I've only seen it once before."

Zhimian pursed her lips, "I don't know much, either." She didn't want to explore either.

After a while, Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of Binyang Garden. Zhimian and Xu Siyuan thanked him. The man said, "Add WeChat, keep in touch, you can go to the studio often to sit."

"good."

Zhimian scanned his QR code, thanked him, and got out of the car.

Watching Mercedes leave, she turned to catch a familiar Hummer parked in the distance. Before she could see the license plate clearly, the car drove away from here and disappeared from her sight.

Zhimian remembered what Xu Siyuan said again, and soon denied himself.

Duan Zhuo came here from the restaurant? How is that possible?

She didn't think much about it and walked towards the community-

A few days after Zhimian sent a message to the foreign teacher, the other party told her that she was selected by the institution over there and could go to class. Although the time was only one month, the reward was very generous for her.

Zhimian contacted the person in charge of the organization, and the other party roughly introduced the job to her.

The other party comes from a club in Lincheng. They opened a youth training camp for winter vacation. Now Zhimian needs to provide oral training for twenty teenagers.

After Zhimian learned about it, he happily agreed.

She also worked as an English tutor when she was a freshman, which is similar to this one, so she is not unfamiliar with it.

The other party sent a basic lesson plan, and the morning after tomorrow it was the first oral class, so Zhimian seized the time to start preparing lessons.

On Wednesday morning, Zhimian set out for the training camp site.

Zhimian found the place as instructed, but when he arrived at the door, he saw a few words written at the door - Renshi Club Cultural Exchange Hall.
