Chapter 237
At half past six that night, in a very elegant private restaurant not far from Pujiang.
This private restaurant is housed in an old-fashioned bungalow in Shikumen.
The outer wall of the bungalow is covered with green vines, reflecting the entire courtyard with green and vibrant; The fragrance of flowers in the garden, mixed with the occasional sound of flies, creates a deep, quiet, elegant and comfortable feeling.
In a rather spacious room on the second floor, Kong Bai and his group of nine people sat at the dining table drinking tea and talking.
As soon as I entered this room, an old Zhonghai-style temperament came to my face.
The whole room is elegantly decorated, quite a bit of the unique retro style of Shanghai school, a combination of Chinese and Western.
The red-painted wooden floor, which looks quite old, people walking on it, and a little creaking, the same wooden window lattices and window sills, are also painted red, and in the middle are stained glass windows, which are now rare.
Looking up along the white wall, there is a huge chandelier hanging high in the dome, emitting a brilliant and restrained light, as if silently telling visitors about its past luxury and glory.
The nine people sat around a delicate mahogany dining table, talking and laughing.
Kong Bai sat in the main seat, Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Xiaoxiao, Yang Xiao, and Zhou Xiaomi sat on the side, followed by Song Simin, Li Shen, Zhao Qiming, and Qiao Changsheng.
At this moment, there were more girls in the room, especially Bai Qiaoqiao and Bai Xiaoxiao.
The two of them teased Zhou Xiaomi and Song Simin with their eyes for a while, and then huddled together and whispered, and then burst into an irrepressible low laugh, and Zhou and Song were quite embarrassed.
Kong Bai was the last to know about the "adulterous affair" between Zhou Xiaomi and Song Simin, and he was also looking at the two with a smile on his face and quite playfully at the moment, which made them a little embarrassed.
After Kong Bai was "reborn", he has been busy, lacking enough attention to the people and things around him, and at this moment, looking at the two people sitting together, he looked carefully, and suddenly felt quite suitable.
Song Simin is a typical Zhonghai little man, polite, gentle and elegant, with a shrewdness, while Zhou Xiaomi is a typical northern girl, under the delicate and beautiful facial features, is a big grinning character.
Zhou Xiaomi's outgoing and lively, and Song Simin's low-key and introverted, form a sharp contrast, and this difference in personality between the two partially erases the age gap between the two.
Song Simin is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, about seven or eight years older than Zhou Xiaomi, but when the two sit together, they can't see it at all.
At this time, Zhou Xiaomi may have had enough of everyone's gossipy eyes, turned his head and glared at Bai Qiaoqiao and Bai Xiaoxiao, reached out and beat Song Simin, raised his head, stood up with a slightly blushing little face, and said with a stalk on his neck:
"Okay, don't look at it, what's so strange?"
"The man is married, the woman is married, I am not married, he is not married, we are reasonable, reasonable, and legal, what is so strange!"
"In fact, this girl just read a book called "The History of the Struggle of a Scientific Research Dog Possessed by the System", the author praised the Zhonghai man to the sky, saying what 'clean, considerate, delicate, Hui Qianlanxin, Xiangwu godson, virtuous and good" or something, this girl was curious whether the Zhonghai man was so virtuous, so she took Secretary Song to check the authenticity, don't be that one that broke and deceived me!"
Everyone listened to Zhou Xiaomi's words, and burst into laughter, and Song Simin twitched the corner of his mouth on one side, just wanted to say something, felt Zhou Xiaomi's forced gaze from the corner of his eyes, quickly stopped talking, had to nod obediently, did not dare to say anything.
Kong Bai looked at it interestingly for a while, sighed, and pretended to say:
"Sister Xiaomi, Director Song is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, don't bully people all day!"
"It's not easy for us to deceive, we must take good care of it, but we can't just abuse people!"
"People are so bad as our parents, we still have to give a little face!"
Everyone listened to Kong Bai's words, and they laughed again....
Song Simin couldn't sit still anymore, stood up with a red face, and said, I want to urge the dishes, it's too slow and so on, so I fled...
Kong Bai and his party wrapped up the entire private restaurant, because there were two big foodies, Bai Xiaoxiao and Li Shen, so there were many dishes, but the way to order was very simple and rude:
"Lady, put your entire menu three times, not enough for us to order again!"
Not long after Song Simin went out, the hostess brought a few waiters to lay dishes, and the large table was full after a while.
Today's banquet is actually a family banquet, everyone here has known each other for a long time, outside of work, everyone is also very good friends, there is nothing to be polite, Kong Bai greeted and ate, everyone was no longer polite, and they all picked their favorite chopsticks.
Kong Bai has not been drunk since "reborn", and no one here wants to drink, so he mainly eats, especially Dabai and Li Shen, one by one!
Kong Bai first clipped a few chopsticks to Bai Qiaoqiao, and Bai Qiaoqiao quickly thanked and said thank you endlessly.
Kong Bai saw this kind of politeness shown by Bai Qiaoqiao, thinking about the alienation represented behind it, he sighed secretly in his heart, but his face did not show it, stretched out his hand, smiled and stroked Qiaoqiao's little head melon, and said in a low voice: "Qiaoqiao
, you are still so polite with your little white brother, you forgot that when you were a child, it was Xiao Bai brother who personally fed you?"
"I still remember that at that time in the orphanage, there was something delicious to eat, and I thought of my brother for the first time, no matter how hungry I was, I had to wait until my brother ate together!"
"One summer, Dean Hu quietly bought you a baby's head ice cream, and I was reluctant to eat it, put it in the lunch box and waited for my brother to come back from school, but in the end, the ice cream was melted, and Qiao Qiao cried for a long time, haha!"
"Why, now that I have grown up, I have to share with Brother Xiaobai?"
Qiaoqiao listened to Kong Bai's words, a pair of big crystal eyes, suddenly misty, shook his head, and said:
"No, no!"
"Brother Xiaobai has always been Qiaoqiao's own brother, and will never become!"
"It's all coincidental and useless, my brother is working hard and busy all day, but I can't help at all, and I don't dare to disturb my brother's work
..." "I just, I just think..."
As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, his head was lowered, and a crystal tear fell down his cheek at the corner of his eye.
Kong Bai quickly pulled out a tissue, helped Qiaoqiao wipe his tear tracks, and said gently:
"Silly child, so old, still the same as when he was a child, he loves to cry at every turn!"
"A while ago, it was Brother Xiaobai who was too busy and didn't care about Qiaoqiao often, it's my brother who is wrong!"
"Now that all the work is on track, my brother's routine is slowly becoming regular."
"I'll have someone clean up a room for you, and in the future, I happen to come to the Demon King Mansion for two days every weekend!"
"We are a family that depends on each other, you and Xiaoxiao are both brother's own sisters, and we are not allowed to make trouble with our brother!"
Qiaoqiao's big eyes were full of water, looking at his little white brother, nodded vigorously, and a happy smile crawled all over his cheeks!
