Mr. Li, you are out of favor

When Gao Qingman arrived at the destination, although Gao Qingman had long been mentally prepared that it should not be a poor-grade store, he did not expect it to be so high-end.

It looks like a simple signboard, but the whole store is decorated with wood.

In a world full of reinforced concrete, a store is entirely decorated with wood, which looks very conspicuous. Although it is a bit out of place, it is clearly full of personality.

Although the store occupies a large area, it only has a small front, with a piece of blue and maple cloth hanging in the middle, even in the slight wind, it still hangs softly.

"Let's go."

After Qiao Shoujun had parked the car, he looked back and found that Gao Qingman was still standing at the door. He was about to walk two steps to her side, and took her hand very naturally.

"Ah? Oh..."

Gao Qingman was a little unexpected, looking at the hands of the two people holding each other, he was inexplicably panicked, and he quickly pulled back regardless of embarrassment.

Qiao Shoujun certainly felt that he was holding hands on purpose. He looked at his empty hand in astonishment, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Hi, welcome to our store. Do you have an appointment?"

This door is a somewhat long corridor with a narrow width that can barely allow two people to pass side by side. A woman in ancient Japanese clothing walked towards her, stepping on a pair of wooden clogs, and ran over with a crisp sound.

He lowered his head in front of the two of them and spoke in unfamiliar Chinese.

"Oh, yes, we have an appointment, two people who make an appointment at noon, my surname is Joe."

Qiao Shoujun nodded, subconsciously looking at Gao Qingman beside him.

Faced with such a down-to-earth Japanese-style service, Gao Qingman was really a little confused.

The clerk bowed slightly respectfully, walked in front all the way, turned around every three steps, and led the way for the two.

He went up the wooden stairs to the second floor and brought the two of them to a small private room.

The decoration of this store is really thorough, even the doors of the private rooms are made of pure wood, covered with a layer of translucent window paper.

After opening the door and entering, Gao Qingman really faced a problem.

If I had known she might as well not have changed into this suit, I didn't expect to come to a restaurant where you had to eat on your knees. She was wearing a narrow skirt, and she couldn't even squat down, let alone kneel.

"Um, sorry, may I ask, do you have a seat here?"

Noticing that Gao Qingman next to him was standing at the door of the private room without moving, Qiao Shoujun realized what was the reason, and wanted to beat his head right now, why didn't he even think of this, so he brought her to the Japanese restaurant.

"Excuse me, sir, our whole store is decorated like this."

The waiter who was standing by the door and waited for the call lowered his head slightly, looking a little apologetic.

"It's okay, if you have a blanket, can you give me one?"

Going out with him several times in a row, there will always be problems, Gao Qingman is actually a little helpless, thinking, anyway, he has already arrived here, so he can't continue to be embarrassed.

He turned his head and asked the clerk, but fortunately, he got an affirmative answer this time.

Covered by a blanket, Gao Qingman sat on the tatami with his legs slightly tilted.

"I'm really sorry. I seldom go out to eat with girls, so I didn't think too much about it. I'm sorry."

The two of them had finished ordering and sat face to face at the table. Qiao Shoujun only felt so sorry that he really didn't think about it.

"It's okay, don't be so nervous all the time, okay?"

Looking at him in front of him, like a big boy in school, with his head bowed deeply, both apologetic and at a loss, Gao Qingman couldn't help being amused by him, only to find out that he still has such a Straight male attributes.

"I'm not nervous. I'm just afraid that you will be unhappy. I brought you out to make you feel happy. You seem to have a lot of unhappy things recently."

Although he categorically denied it, when he spoke, his speech was always incoherent, and the speed of his speech became very fast. It was easy to see at a glance what was going on with this person.

Apart from bowing his head and smiling silently, Gao Qingman didn't know what else to say. In fact, the content of his words made him feel a little bit heartbroken, because he was right, and he was really not happy recently.

There are various reasons, but speaking of it, I think it's ridiculous, basically it's all about men.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of the call I received just now. Li Xuewen told himself so firmly that he was going to a reception, but because he didn't want to go, he was also angry with his attitude, so he didn't have time to ask carefully.

Thinking of this, Gao Qingman raised his head and asked the man in front of him directly.

"By the way, the reception you mentioned is your own family gathering, isn't it?"

To be honest, although she agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend and said it was not a big deal, for a married woman like her, if she was found out, the problem would be quite serious.

Originally, I hadn't done anything wrong, so I naturally didn't want to be caught for these messy reasons.

"Yes, if it's a party in the business district, I might bring my friends with me. After all, no one will ask in detail on that occasion. But for a family gathering, after all, my friends have seen it before and want to lie. It's very difficult, if it is not a last resort, I will not find you."

As if afraid that she would go back on his word, Qiao Shoujun awkwardly began to explain in detail.

"I didn't mean anything else. I just heard that there were other receptions that day, and I thought it was the same one."

Gao Qingman finally realized something was wrong with his inexplicable and overly cautious attitude.

"It shouldn't be. My family gathering should be only for my own family members. I can guarantee this."

Anyway, he still spoke very firmly.

"That's good, sorry, I shouldn't have asked so many questions, but I have my situation, and I hope you can understand."

To be honest, Gao Qingman was indeed a little scared, and it could even be said that he was very worried that he would meet Li Xuewen at the venue.

Originally, he didn't go home every day, and the Li family members desperately wanted to catch him. If this happened, it would be really wronged.

However, judging from what Qiao Shoujun meant, it should be believable. After all, he didn't need to lie to himself like this.

The two had a simple meal and talked in detail.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the old man in Qiao Shoujun's family may pass away soon, and it was his last wish to see his granddaughter-in-law before he died.

It sounds like an old-fashioned reason, but Gao Qingman, who has always been filial, feels that this favor is really imperative.

"So according to what you said, we met in college, and then I accompanied you to study abroad, and now you opened a small coffee shop for me. Is that what you mean?"

After listening to Qiao Shoujun's whole story, Gao Qingman simply sorted it out, but didn't particularly care why he told the story in such detail.

"Uh, yes."

When Qiao Shoujun was telling the whole story, he was carefully staring at her face the whole time, but unexpectedly, he didn't see any special expression, which was somewhat disappointing.

You know, this story is half true and half false, and there are very few false parts, probably only the heroine in the story doesn't love herself.

"Okay, then I understand, I will go back and review this paragraph carefully."

Not noticing the disappointment that flashed in his eyes, Gao Qingman nodded half-jokingly

After a pleasant dinner, Qiao Shoujun was like usual, a gentleman wanted to send her home.

But standing outside the restaurant, looking at the gradually darkening sky, a cool night wind blew over, and Gao Qingman became confused again.

To be honest, what she hates the most is this time. Every time she encounters this time, she has to face a very embarrassing question - whether to go home or not.

It has been a day, and it is estimated that the woman Liu Jingmei should have gone back. Even if she didn't, Li Xuewen should have lost patience after counting the time.

It's impossible to stay with her all the time like before, so even if I go back today, it won't be of much use, most likely I won't catch the opportunity to go to the study to look again.

Coupled with the fact that Li Xuewen called himself in an orderly tone today, it must be a fierce battle to go back now, and a simple quarrel is already considered light.

"I think I'd better not go home now, I might go to my brother's place to have a look."

Standing at the door, bowing his head and thinking for a long time, Gao Qingman finally made a decision.

"Ah... so, then, can I accompany you?"

Today's Qiao Shoujun is much better than before, he doesn't have to follow everywhere, but asks cautiously.

Turning her head to look at his aggrieved expression, Gao Qingman really couldn't laugh or cry, since when did this person become so long-hearted?
"I might live with my brother..."

"I don't mean anything else, it's just that last time it was not because of my birthday... or did you offend your brother? It's quite troublesome for him..."

Before Gao Qingman could finish his sentence, Qiao Shoujun interrupted first, and quickly explained.

"That's nothing. I don't mean not to let you go. If you want to go, then let's go together."

For some reason, the Qiao Shoujun I saw today seems to be different from the one I met before. I can't say anything carefully, and the conversation between the two always feels a little strange for no reason.

After thinking about it, I might play his girlfriend next, Gao Qingman seems to understand a little bit.

After all, it's still a bit embarrassing and awkward, right?
After all, they have been classmates for so many years, and she can understand such a sudden incident. If it was not forced, Qiao Shoujun probably would not have said such a thing.

"Then how about this, you accompany me to the supermarket to buy something, I have to say sorry to your brother no matter what?"

Hearing what he meant, it seemed that he was quite sorry for what he did last time.

Gao Qingman originally wanted to politely say no, but after thinking about it carefully, if this matter really passed like this, he would not be able to bear it again in the future.
