Chapter 536 Old Gao's Strange Appearance

That night, after all, we still didn't have the wine we agreed to drink with Hu Zi in the morning.

After the staff left and the streets and restaurants became quiet, Old Gao and I called Hu Zi and asked him when he would be coming. Hu Zi seemed to be busy and whispered to us that we should eat first. He would be here soon.

Old Gao and I didn't wait for him. After so long, we were really hungry. We were never fussy with Hu Zi. The two of us opened the wine and Du Ling, the three of us, ate dinner at the restaurant.

After pouring a glass of wine for Old Gao and myself, we both had a drink.

I looked at the tired Du Ling and talked to her, "Xiaoling, you were in Pucheng for more than a year. Didn't you make any friends? How come no one has come to see you?"

Du Ling's eyes dodged. She took a lotus root and shook her head, "No, I don't have friends."

I asked tentatively, "Xiaoling, have you ever been bullied before? If there is, tell us and we'll fix him for you."

Old Gao also said, "Yes!"

I really think Du Ling has something on her mind, but it's not good to keep it in her heart. I didn't ask too much before, but now that we're friends, I think she'll tell us something.

Du Ling shook his head and said, "No!" She bit her lip and said, "Actually, I'm just too introverted. I don't like to make friends with people. After I came to the Xingyun hotel, I became more cheerful."

"Oh." I nodded. After a while, I asked, "Didn't you say you were cheated by a good friend? How did she lie to you?"

Hearing this question, Du Ling's hands shook with chopsticks. The food in the chopsticks fell onto the plate, and the light in her eyes flashed. I saw this detail in my eyes, but did not make it clear.

She smiled a little disguised and said, "Well, she lied to me and said that she wanted to introduce me to a good job, but that's not the case."

"Are you still in touch?" Old Gao asked.

Du Ling shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to see her again because she treated me like that."

Old Gao asked again, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

"No!" Du Ling was still reluctant to talk. She is a liar. She pushes people into the fire. If you don't mention her, you will be angry."

Du Ling smiled again, as if trying to show that it was all over and that it didn't matter anymore.

I smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, Xiaoling, have you ever been in love?"

"Ah?" Du Ling obviously didn't expect me to raise this question. A shy, embarrassed smile appeared on her face and she replied, "No."

"Not once? You're twenty, too? Look at xiao ya. She talked to Lin Feng in high school. It's been years now."

Du Ling smiled and shook his head again, "No, I didn't talk about it when I was in school. I went out after high school. I was busy making money, and I didn't talk about it."

Old Gao said, "Why don't I introduce you? It's okay for manya linfeng to introduce you. You're all the same age."

"Brother gaoyuan, I'm still young, so don't laugh at me." Du Ling said shyly.

Old Gao and I smiled and stopped teasing her.

The three of them were eating and chatting in the restaurant. Half an hour passed quickly, but Hu Zi still didn't come back. Du Ling had already eaten, and Old Gao and I slowly drank a glass of wine.

I said to Old Gao, "Why aren't you here yet? What's he up to?"

"Who knows? Why don't you call and ask?"

"Don't panic, just wait." Hu Zi was busy just now, so it wasn't a good idea for us to keep calling.

Old Gao nodded.

I said to Du Ling, "Xiaoling, you go back first. It's so late."

"It's okay. I have nothing to do when I get back." Although he looked a little tired, Du Ling was still in good spirits and had a bright smile on his face.

"Let's drink. You don't drink. What are you doing here?"

"You can just drink your food. Don't worry about me." Du Ling grinned.

Just like that, we waited for another half an hour, waiting impatiently. We had almost enough food and wine, so we had to call Hu Zi again.

Hu Zi sounded like a mess and asked him when he would be back. He was still not sure. I had to give up. I think we should keep this drink for the future. It's going to be a long time anyway.

But he was still in a bad mood, but he didn't blame Hu Zi. He couldn't help but hang up. I told Old Gao and Du Ling I couldn't wait, so I went back.

After cleaning up the restaurant, the three of them locked the door and left.

After going back, he talked to Ding Ge and Lin Ya, and then went back to his room to sleep.

...

The next day, after getting up early, Old Gao and I went to the farmer's market, walked around a big circle, and then unloaded the shopping to the restaurant, and then went to the pond to get the fish.

Because of Old Gao's pond, we don't need to buy fish, but we need to make another trip.

On the way, Old Gao turned on the radio. There was a song playing on a radio station. Old Gao was humming along.

I couldn't help but look at Old Gao strangely. Normally, he wouldn't be like this. Why is he so excited today?

Although I was used to getting up early, I was always in a bad state in the morning. After all, I slept very late at night. To me, I usually woke up in the morning, but Old Gao was really high.

Old Gao used to sleep until noon, a typical night owl. When I found out what was wrong with Old Gao, I couldn't help but recall Old Gao's state in the restaurant these days. I felt that he was different from before.

In the past, when xiaoyi and Xiaolian were still in the restaurant, Old Gao was still silent at that time, and gradually became much better. Although not as talkative as before, it was still normal. Recently, he seemed to be more cheerful than before, making me feel like I saw his shadow before.

Although Old Gao had a lot of problems in the past, he was still very happy. He drank a lot and ate a lot of meat. He lived a happy life. After the emotional and family changes with Wang Mengmeng, Old Gao quickly adapted to the life of the second generation from rich to ordinary people, but he was still a little depressed.

And this kind of state of him, let me feel, how to say, as if he was in love?

I smiled, and Old Gao looked at me doubtfully and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you?! It's early in the morning, like an old cat in spring."

"Damn!" Old Gao smiled and said, "Just sing a song. Why is it called spring?"

"Old Gao, are you in love?" My eyes turned and I looked at Old Gao interrogatively.

Old Gao seemed to have been exposed by me, and his face changed. Although he soon returned to normal, I still caught him.

He smiled and denied, "What love? Who am I in love with?"

"How the hell do I know who you're in love with? Tell me the truth!" I frowned, reminiscing about the past, trying to find some clues from Old Gao's daily life.

However, it was found that there were no useful clues. Old Gao did not frequently call or chat with wechat qq.

"No, really not." Old Gao just smiled foolishly. Although his mouth was negative, the corners of his mouth kept rising slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Pretend! Just pretend!" I lay back and watched Old Gao. He obviously didn't tell the truth.

Old Gao was a little embarrassed by my look and said, "I'm really not pretending. I'm under your nose every day. I stay in the restaurant all day. What kind of relationship do you think I'm in?"

Old Gao was right, but I still didn't believe him. I said, "Even if you're not in love, you still have someone you like? Right?"

Old Gao didn't seem to have expected my guess to be so accurate. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't believe it. He smiled and nodded.

I immediately sat up straight and turned down the radio. I asked curiously, "Who is it? Who is it?"

"You don't know him." Old Gao didn't want to talk much and simply said.

"If you say so, you'll know him."

Old Gao was squirming, as if he didn't know what to say. I gave him a gentle slap on the arm, and Old Gao scolded again, "Damn, I'm driving. Don't make a scene."

I knew Old Gao was sensitive to driving and didn't do it again, but I still asked, "Who is it? Who the hell is that? Is there a picture of her on your phone? Let me see."

"No." Old Gao said rather helplessly, "You really don't know him."

"If you say so, you'll know him." I was especially insistent.

"All right, all right, I'll give in to you." Old Gao took a breath and finally said, "It's our neighbor."

After saying these five words, Old Gao stopped talking. I felt cheated. I glared at Old Gao and said, "Keep talking! There's nothing to hide. It makes you look like a virgin."

"Damn!" Old Gao struggled for a while, then said, "It's a girl from our neighbor's house. She's a new neighbor. She's pretty good looking. She just met her for a while, and she feels like she likes her."

I was really relieved to hear that Old Gao liked this girl.

After I broke up with Wang Mengmeng, I was really afraid that he would hurt me too deeply and freeze my heart. Hu Zi has become a scumbag in love. I really don't want Old Gao to end up so lonely.

It could be seen that Old Gao really liked that girl. He smiled happily and from the bottom of his heart.

I asked again, "Did you chase her?"

"No."

"You haven't confessed, have you?"

"Yes."

"It's not like your style. If you like it, why don't you go after it?"

"No," Old Gao frowned as if he didn't know what to say.

"What's not? You have nothing to worry about." In the past, Old Gao was not like this. He was good at dealing with girls, but now he was embarrassed.

"Hey, the situation is very complicated. I'm at the restaurant every day. I don't have time!"

"I'll give you the day off tomorrow!" I quickly said, "You just focus on chasing that girl for me until you catch up, when you catch up with that girl, when you come back. Don't worry, I'm in the restaurant. You've been busy enough. Take a good rest at this time."

"I..."

"What am I? Me! Chase!" I said to Old Gao in a commanding tone.

"Hey, don't worry. It's not as easy as you think. I... I don't know if people like me."
