2898 The only candidate (4)
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for half a second, choosing between eating the meat she was holding up or putting it down. In the end, she chose to put it down. Gossip was more important-oh no, it was more important to care about her friends.
She quickly asked, ” what’s the matter? When did you propose? How did it fail?”
Ye sijue furrowed his brows and looked at her, not really wanting to say anything.
Han qiqing chimed in, ” that’s not right. Didn’t you ask us for help before? We haven’t even helped you yet, and you’re acting on your own?”
No wonder he failed!
However, Xiaomeng and ye sijue were so close. Even without their help, Xiaomeng shouldn’t have rejected ye sijue’s proposal.
So what was going on?
Ye sijue said expressionlessly, ” I don’t want to talk about this. I’m just telling you the results.
Even though his expression was unreadable, mu Xiaoxiao knew that he was unhappy.
Come to think of it, who would be happy if his proposal was rejected?
She suddenly felt a little guilty. Too many things had happened before, and she hadn’t been able to take care of ye sijue. They didn’t even know that his proposal had failed.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s voice softened as she said, ” sijue, tell us. How did you propose? ” What did Xiaomeng say when she rejected your proposal?”
Ye sijue said calmly, ” she didn’t say anything.
It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk about this.
Mu Xiaoxiao and the others looked at each other, worried that ye sijue and Mo Xiaomeng had gotten into an argument.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Song Shijun gestured with his eyes to stop the conversation.
Everyone continued eating.
Song Shijun said, ” Xiaoxiao and Shaojie will be leaving soon. We don’t know when we’ll be able to get together again. Let’s have a drink? ”
Han qiqing echoed, ” yes, we’ll drink until we’re drunk tonight!
She used the service bell to call for the waiter. With a wave of her hand, she ordered the most expensive red wine since Yin Shaojie was treating them to the meal.
The waiter came in with red wine, poured five glasses according to the number of people, and placed them in front of everyone.
Han qiqing recalled the way her father tasted wine. She picked up the glass and swirled it. She looked at the color and sniffed it. Then, she said pretentiously, ” this red wine is not bad.
Mu Xiaoxiao laughed at the side. She didn’t know much about red wine, but she knew that qiqing didn’t, so she just watched qiqing’s acting.
Han qiqing raised her glass and glanced at ye sijue out of the corner of her eye. She smiled and said, ” let’s clink glasses. I wish ... Wish that our friendship will remain unchanged! Even if we’re separated by mountains and rivers, we’ll always be best friends!”
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up her glass cooperatively, but she was afraid of getting drunk, so she only took a sip.
Ye sijue didn’t know if he could tell that they were trying to force him to drink, but he only took a sip and put down his glass.
Song Shijun sat beside him and encouraged him to drink.
sijue, we won’t force you if you don’t want to say anything, but Shaojie is leaving soon. We won’t have many chances to meet in the future. Let’s drink to our hearts ‘content tonight. Come!
Yin Shaojie also raised his glass and echoed, ” yes, let’s have a drink. Don’t say anything, just drink!
Ye sijue chuckled in a low voice. He raised his glass, clinked it against song Shijun’s, and then drank it all in one go.
“I have one more thing to tell you.”
The four of them looked at him in unison.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. She had just heard that his proposal had failed, and now there was new news. Could it be that ... Ye sijue and Mo Xiaomeng’s relationship had some problems?
She was really afraid that ye sijue was going to say that he had broken up with Xiaomeng.
