Chapter 278 Hello brother-in-law
Wen Zhixia was stunned, as if she didn't expect that he had been waiting for her outside quietly.
She subconsciously quickened her pace.
"Beautiful sister!"
As I was walking down the stairs, I heard a voice behind me.
Wen Zhixia subconsciously turned around and saw the little girl she had given first aid to in the afternoon and her mother waving at her.
The girl looked much better than she had in the afternoon. Her snow-white cheeks were rosy and her eyes were full of cleverness.
Wen Zhixia stopped and nodded to them.
"Qingqing, Dr. Wen is your savior, you must thank him very much." The girl's mother said to her.
Qingqing put her arm around Wen Zhixia's arm in a familiar manner. "Beautiful sister, you are so beautiful. I feel close to you the moment I see you! Can I add you on WeChat? I want to learn first aid knowledge from you."
"You're rude," the girl's mother slapped her. "Call Dr. Wen."
She then said to Wen Zhixia, "This child has been like this since she was young. She is very extroverted. Just ignore her."
Wen Zhixia smiled and said, "Of course not."
She took out her cell phone, gave the QR code to Qingqing and asked her to scan it.
Qingqing added her on WeChat and smiled triumphantly at her mother.
"Sister Wen, why did you just get off work? Have you eaten?" Qingqing asked again, "Why don't you come to our house for dinner? I'll ask my mom to make you some pork elbow!"
Wen Zhixia was about to decline when she saw a familiar figure standing at the door, waving at her.
"Hi! Over here!"
Fu Ruoshi did not avoid suspicion at all.
Qingqing and her mother also looked over at the same time.
"Wow!!! Brother-in-law!!!" Qingqing exclaimed, "My brother-in-law is so handsome! Sister, you are so lucky!!"
Wen Zhixia's head was buzzing.
Qingqing's voice was very loud.
Not only did the people around hear it, but even Fu Ruoshi outside heard it.
"Hey, I'm here!" Fu Ruoshi shamelessly replied, "Come, my sister and brother-in-law will treat you to dinner!"
Wen Zhixia was speechless when she saw his smug look on his face.
She quickly said goodbye to Qingqing and her daughter, ran over with a dark face, and pulled Fu Ruoshi away without saying a word.
Fu Ruoshi was being pulled by her, and he did not forget to turn around and wave to Qingqing and her daughter. He thought that this little girl had a bright future. She was so sweet-talking and capable, and she would definitely be a supervisor in the future.
"Hey, where are you taking me?"
Just as they were about to cross the road, Fu Ruoshi finally spoke.
He pointed behind him, "My car is parked over there."
Wen Zhixia was annoyed. "Why did you agree to this? Who is your brother-in-law? Can you be a little thicker-skinned?"
"The public's eyes are sharp," Fu Ruoshi said frankly, "I didn't say anything. She called me that herself. I wasn't the only man around. How could she think I was her brother-in-law? Isn't it because we're a good match?"
"You spoke to me first!" Wen Zhixia was speechless, "Who is worthy of you..."
Fu Ruoshi really likes to see her angry. Although he knows that it is not very kind, Wen Zhixia is very cute when she is angry. Her little face is red and puffy. She wants to curse but is embarrassed to do so in public. She looks like a little pufferfish when she is holding her breath, which makes people always want to tease her.
"What do you want to eat?" Fu Ruoshi pinched her face, "Don't be angry, or I'll poke you with a needle."
The temperature outside had dropped below zero, and he was already breathing out white air as he spoke.
Seeing him running to the door to wait for her in such a cold weather, with his nose tip frozen red, Wen Zhixia no longer felt angry.
"Eat the shells," Wen Zhixia glared at him, "and I'll blow you to death if I eat them."
After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked towards the car.
Fu Ruoshi followed her with a smile and got into the car together.
Wen Zhixia had been busy all day and hadn't eaten much, so she wanted to eat something hot.
Fu Ruoshi took her to a newly opened ramen restaurant in CBD and ordered a bowl of pork bone ramen for her.
Wen Zhixia was extremely hungry, so as soon as the noodles came, she started to eat them without slurping.
However, she was almost done eating, but Fu Ruoshi was still eating the mustard octopus with sake.
"You're just eating this?" She looked at his bowl of pitifully small octopus in surprise. "You don't like ramen? Then let's go get something else?"
"That's not the case." Fu Ruoshi shook his head. "I've lost too much weight recently. I need to train my abdominal muscles and keep in shape."
Wen Zhixia was dumbfounded. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you crazy about?"
"I'm afraid that if my abdominal muscles are gone, you'll leave me." Fu Ruoshi took a sip of sake, his expression calm, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace."
It was rare that his tone wasn't joking; he was actually very serious, especially when he said the four words "you don't want me anymore", he even looked at Wen Zhixia with grievance.
Wen Zhixia felt as if she was that unfaithful man.
Fu Ruoshi looked at her dazed expression and smiled. "You can forgive me and give me the opportunity to pursue you. Of course I must cherish it. If I don't cherish it this time and miss you again, God will strike me with lightning."
Wen Zhixia came back to her senses and said somewhat bewilderedly, "When it comes to love, you should let it take its course. You don't have to rush towards that outcome."
"I'm not looking for results," Fu Ruoshi looked into her eyes, his gaze trembling, "I just want to leave no regrets."
After dinner, the two of them walked around and took the escalator downstairs.
When passing by the blind box store, Wen Zhixia suppressed the impulse in her heart and didn't dare to take a look inside.
"We're already at the door, why don't you go in and touch it?" Fu Ruoshi looked down at her, his tone doting, "It just so happens that there aren't many people here right now, so let's book the whole place and touch as much as you want."
Wen Zhixia waved her hand and refused, "I don't want it. I've quit. It's such a waste of money. You make me sound like a gambler."
Fu Ruoshi didn't know whether she had quit or not, but from the moment he went downstairs, he saw Wen Zhixia's eyes looking towards the blind box store. The expression of desire and forbearance was written all over her face. He wanted to reach out and pinch her face.
She doesn't have many hobbies, she just likes opening blind boxes and growing succulents. If she has to give up these little hobbies to save money, it only shows that she is a waste.
"You are not a gambler, I am a gambler." Thinking of this, Fu Ruoshi changed his words, "I want to try it, you come in with me."
Sure enough, Wen Zhixia was a little hesitant.
Fu Ruoshi saw her black eyes rolling around and knew that she was wavering.
So he continued to tempt, "I'll just touch three. If I can't get the popular model within three boxes, I'll turn around and leave."
"Good! Deal!"
Wen Zhixia left him behind, turned around and ran into the store.
Fu Ruoshi looked at her excited expression, laughed silently, and followed her.
Wen Zhixia stopped beside a rabbit-shaped doll and said, "Touch this one! This one is popular and easy to touch. Pick a popular one you like and I'll teach you how to touch it."
Fu Ruoshi chose a rabbit with a bow on its head and bared its teeth. "This one is it. It looks more like you."
Wen Zhixia rolled her eyes at him and instructed him using a tutorial she had seen online. "I can't shake it up and down, there's little room left to right, and if I move it slightly back and forth, the bow will make sporadic noises. Want to try?"
She knew it so well, she must have practiced it many times. Fu Ruoshi smiled without saying anything and tried three of them according to her instructions.
After all, he had limited experience, and he didn't find the model he liked among the three, only ordinary ones.
"Forget it," Wen Zhixia said with a hint of regret, "But these three are pretty cute too, you can take them home."
Fu Ruoshi saw that her melancholy little mouth was pouted high, how could he bear to let her go home disappointed?
And that touch just now actually aroused his gambling addiction. Those who are good at business all have a bit of gambler's spirit. The bigger the bet, the more exciting they will feel.
"Try three more." Thinking of this, he stood in front of Wen Zhixia and said, "I'm unlucky today. You can try these three. If you still can't find them, we can leave."
"No!" Wen Zhixia rejected it immediately. "I said three, so that's it. I won't ask for any more."
