Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 5.005. When did we add each other as friends? (Revised)

Is Anhui cuisine safe to eat?

Jiang Jixu sat in the passenger seat, looking down at his phone as he asked questions.

"Ah."

"Then I'll send you my location..."

A faint scent of jasmine wafted to her nose, her words caught in her throat, and her whole body stiffened.

Realizing that he wanted to help her fasten her seatbelt, Jiang Jixu grabbed the seatbelt first and buckled it in.

"Click" sound.

It stood out remarkably clearly inside the cramped carriage.

The girl looked up, her tone polite but distant: "Thank you for your help."

Lu Lishen paused, withdrew his outstretched hand, looked straight ahead, and said in a cool and aloof tone, "Miss Jiang, you don't need to be so wary of me."

"If I remember correctly, it was Miss Jiang who insisted on keeping me here last night."

As the man spoke, he gave her a slight, indifferent glance.

It's as if to say, "Are you trying to turn the tables on me now?"
Jiang Jixu felt a slight lump in his throat, and his fingers tightened slightly as he gripped his phone.

"That's not what I meant." She paused, feeling that continuing to argue would only make her seem more guilty, so she simply changed the subject, "I know a really good Anhui cuisine restaurant, I'll send you the location."

Lu Lishen shifted his gaze, looking straight ahead, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Ah."
-
There aren't many restaurants in Beijing that serve Anhui cuisine, and even fewer that serve it well.

Binjiang Pavilion stands out from the crowd.

Jiang Jixu opened her contact list, only to realize she wasn't friends with Lu Lishen yet. She pursed her lips, then awkwardly looked up: "That... your WeChat..."

Before he could finish speaking, a new message pop-up appeared.

Lu Lishen slowly raised his eyes and casually put his phone aside: "Hmm?"

Jiang Jixu was stunned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "When did I add you as a friend?"

The man rested one hand on the steering wheel, tapping it lightly a few times with his fingertips, his voice deep and mellow: "I don't know."

There was not a trace of emotion in his voice.

Seeing his calm expression, Jiang Jixu didn't dare to ask, "Then how did you come up with the idea to send me this message?" and could only silently send his location.

Lu Lishen glanced at it, but suddenly stopped.

Jiang Jixu was busy texting Jiang Wang and didn't notice the man's unusual behavior. The two didn't talk much along the way.

Jiang Jixu felt the atmosphere was a bit stifling, so he reached out and rolled down the car window.

A gentle breeze blew through the gaps in her hair, making her feel much more awake. To be honest, she still hadn't recovered from the fact that she had slept with her brother's friend.

And today's engagement party.

Although Jiang Wang said that she didn't need to worry about things at home, Jiang Jixu knew that her actions had definitely brought trouble to the Jiang family.

She could only deal with things here first, and then inquire with Jiang Wang to see if there was any way to salvage the situation...

Binjiang Pavilion.

The man has an excellent appearance, not to mention his noble air; even if he were to stand next to someone wearing a burlap sack, he would still attract a lot of attention.

Ji Yanci casually rejected the third woman who came to chat him up, and absentmindedly looked down at his phone.

He kept receiving messages on WeChat, but he didn't reply to any of them, just scrolling through them repeatedly.

"Young Master Ji, your reservation is on the third floor. We have reserved the best river-view suite for you."

The manager smiled and gestured for them to proceed.

Just then, a waiter came running over: "Manager, are there any private rooms available? Two new guests have arrived."

The manager frowned.

The private rooms at Binjiang Pavilion are always limited in number, and guests need to make reservations in advance.

Tell them the private rooms are all booked.

"But..." The waiter was about to say something when he was interrupted by the manager.

He shouted sternly, "Don't you know the rules of Binjiang Pavilion? You can't even handle this small matter. Do you even want to finish your internship?"

The waitress turned pale.

The economy is bad this year, and she finally found a job. Although being a waitress is not a respectable job, the high salary and good benefits at Binjiang Pavilion are irresistible.

"Alright, hurry up and leave! Don't get in Young Master Ji's way!"

The waitress's eyes were brimming with tears, and her pretty face looked rather pitiful.

Just as she was in despair, the man beside her suddenly spoke up.

"Let them have the private room."

I'm asking for monthly votes and a bookshelf!
