Chapter 131 Go back
Ouyang Mengmian hurriedly avoided Su Jingsi's gaze, but her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something. She knew that the agreement between her and Xu Lingfeng might have been heard by Su Jingsi.
In fact, the agreement between her and Xu Lingfeng had nothing to do with Su Jingsi, but somehow, she inexplicably felt that Su Jingsi would mind, and that she should avoid Su Jingsi when interacting with him.
Su Jingsi's eyes were still fixed on Ouyang Mengmian, his eyes were full of complicated emotions. Although he had his back to Ouyang Mengmian, he had already heard the conversation between Ouyang Mengmian and Xu Lingfeng clearly.
Hearing that Xu Lingfeng was coming to see Ouyang Mengmian and feeling how familiar the two of them were when they talked on the phone, Su Jingsi couldn't help but feel an irrepressible jealousy.
He couldn't help but start speculating about the relationship between Ouyang Mengmian and Xu Lingfeng, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart - the tacit understanding that he and Ouyang Mengmian had worked so hard to develop seemed to be about to disappear with the arrival of Xu Lingfeng.
Su Jingsi stared at Ouyang Mengmian closely, trying to read her true feelings for Xu Lingfeng from her face. However, Ouyang Mengmian's deliberate avoidance made him unable to see clearly, just like the dark night outside the neon lights.
"It's almost time, and I should leave for work... or... let's go..." Ouyang Mengmian said as he walked to the edge of the cobblestone road to put on his shoes under Su Jingsi's passionate gaze.
Su Jingsi knew that Ouyang Mengmian was not going to say more about Xu Lingfeng, and at this moment he had no position or reason to ask her about Xu Lingfeng. Seeing Ouyang Mengmian said she was leaving, Su Jingsi tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, just hummed lightly, walked to the cobblestone road, and hurriedly put on his shoes.
In stark contrast to the laughter and joy on the way here, the two fell into an awkward silence on the way back. It was as if there was an invisible barrier between them, making their originally relaxed and happy mood become heavy and depressing.
Not long after, the elevator reached the 16th floor and slowly opened with a "ding" sound. Su Jingsi took the lead and walked out, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly realized that Ouyang Mengmian behind him did not follow him out. Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, he was extremely anxious and quickly stretched out his hand to block it. At the same time, he turned his head with a puzzled look at Ouyang Mengmian who was still standing in the elevator.
Although Su Jingsi didn't say a word, Ouyang Mengmian still saw concern and inquiry in his eyes. The reason why she didn't follow Su Jingsi down the elevator was because she didn't plan to go back with him. Ever since Xu Lingfeng called, she sensitively felt that there was an extremely ambiguous atmosphere between her and Su Jingsi. She didn't want to face this atmosphere, so she instinctively wanted to avoid it.
She was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted, with a forced smile on her lips: "I'm not going up there, I'm going to work now." Her voice was a little stiff, trying to hide her inner fluctuations.
Su Jingsi frowned slightly when he heard Ouyang Mengmian's words. Although he was a little puzzled, he did not ask any more questions. He knew that Ouyang Mengmian must have her reasons for doing so. So he nodded gently to Ouyang Mengmian and said softly: "Okay, then be careful on the road and have a smooth work." After that, he stepped aside and gave up his position at the elevator entrance.
The elevator door slowly closed, gradually hiding Ouyang Mengmian's figure. Su Jingsi looked at the gradually closing elevator door, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He realized that Ouyang Mengmian had been worried since she received Xu Lingfeng's call, just like him. After suddenly realizing that there was Xu Lingfeng between him and Ouyang Mengmian, his mood couldn't help but sink.
Fortunately, Su Jingsi had gone through many mental tests today, and he was an extremely tenacious person, so he quickly came out of his low mood. He knew that instead of immersing himself in useless emotions, it would be better to do something practical. For him now, there are other important things to do - Su Jingsi did not forget that Ouyang Mengmian said that he wanted to eat grilled fish tomorrow, so he had to quickly look up information, watch videos, and learn how to grill fish.
As soon as Su Jingsi returned to the house, he couldn't wait to turn on the computer and start looking for all kinds of information about grilled fish. He carefully read every step and watched every teaching video, fearing that he would miss any details. Although he was not good at this dish, he was willing to try and learn for Ouyang Mengmian.
A few hours later, Su Jingsi finally felt that he had completely figured out how to make grilled fish. He took a deep breath, as if he could already smell the aroma of grilled fish. He believed that as long as he followed the method he had learned now, he would be able to make grilled fish that would satisfy Ouyang Mengmian tomorrow.
