Carl went to prepare, but He Sheng changed his mind within a few hours. He said that no matter how he planned it, it would not be as real as seeing her in person. He seemed to be ready to reveal his identity.
Pippi was in a bad mood, so he was willing to throw away the plan he had endured for so long to meet her. This kind of emotion... Carl couldn't understand it now.
He Sheng wanted to see Pippi tomorrow night, so he contacted Carl to confirm the time.
"Because of this disease, my appearance and body have changed, but I don't want her to look too different from the past."
"It's simple, just find a better makeup artist."
He Sheng has lost weight, and the most important thing is that his complexion is a bit haggard. He is no longer as tall and proud as before, so he doesn't dare to see Pippi again easily.
If he hadn't listened to Pippi's sharing last night, he wouldn't have met.
"If you lose weight, you can wear a few more, so that you can cover up your complexion. As for yours...it doesn't matter, you will definitely meet sitting down, and there won't be any intense activities."
Carl couldn't help laughing, and He Sheng immediately said seriously, "But I will need to rest soon, please remember to remind me of this."
"Why, you can't feel it yourself?"
He Sheng denied, "I can feel it, I'm just afraid that I'll be immersed in it..."
"Okay, I see."
After talking about this with He Sheng, Carl booked a restaurant with a relatively quiet environment. The design style of this restaurant is the original forest system, and the lighting equipment is the kind of dim and soft lighting. Being in it is like being in a forest.
The more immersive the environment is, the harder it is for Pippi to find that He Sheng is different from the past, so he can cover up his illness.
Carl went to the hotel to pick up Pippi early the next morning. Today he has work arrangements and meetings in the morning and afternoon.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening when the meeting ended in the afternoon. Carl originally planned to take Pippi to change into a dress, but then he gave up considering the time constraints.
Anyway, what He Sheng wants to see is this person, it doesn't matter what this person wears.
He didn't tell Pippi that he would see He Sheng today, he was afraid that something would happen if he said it, and Pippi wouldn't notice if he didn't arrange things deliberately.
"Let's go eat."
"Um."
When they said this, they had just left the office. Carl helped Pippi open the car door, but Pippi didn't get in immediately. She looked at Carl curiously, "I'm very tired today. Wouldn't it be better if we go back to the hotel for dinner?"
"I've already made a restaurant reservation."
"That……"
Pippi seemed a little hesitant, "Is there any special arrangement, if not, you can return."
Carl thought for a while and said, "With my status, it's not good to book and then refund, isn't it? I hope you can understand me. I will send you to rest as soon as the meal is over."
"All right."
Pippi compromised, and then got into the car.
She is still very tired today, and no matter how good her mood is, she will not be able to recover from a peaceful life. When she held meetings today, she held up her spirits. In fact, she felt that she didn't have that strength anymore.
Carl drove smoothly and took Pippi directly to the restaurant.
As soon as they arrived, Carl received a text message from his assistant. He Sheng also arrived and had already taken his seat. Carl was a little relieved to see the news, and then told Pippi to get out of the car, "Let's go down."
"okay."
Pippi immediately unbuttoned her seat belt, and Carl had already walked to Pippi's side to help her open the car door.
When the two entered the door, the staff took them to He Sheng's place without asking. Originally, He Sheng had booked a very quiet place. But judging by the way they entered the door, He Sheng reserved the place, otherwise the staff wouldn't have just brought them in without asking.
Carl did not book the venue because of Pippi's feelings, but He Sheng probably wanted to be alone with Pippi.
This restaurant is already big, and once it is reserved, it becomes even more empty. When Pippi entered, he couldn't help sighing, "Carl, I am a rich second generation, and you are... the descendant of the royal family. I am a horse." Pony, you are the fattest camel."
"this……"
Carl didn't quite understand Pippi's animal metaphor, but when Pippi said this, He Sheng heard it, and he understood.
This is the first time he has met Pippi so close after being hospitalized. The last time he took a look across the floor and through the glass, he was satisfied with that look, but felt that it was not enough.
"Please sit down."
It was only when Carl helped Pippi open his position that Pippi noticed that there was another person.
He Sheng didn't sit directly in this position at first, he sat in a diagonally diagonal position, and the first thing he saw for Pippi was the back view.
"Eh? It's not private, there are others, but there are so few people."
"Um……"
Carl agreed, and Pippi looked away.
But within a few seconds, Pippi stared in He Sheng's direction again. She didn't know it, but just looked at this back and felt very familiar.
"this person……"
"What's wrong with this man?"
As soon as Pippi said that, Carl immediately became nervous. She thought for a while and then said, "It's nothing, it's not what I thought. He always avoids me, so why did he show up on his own initiative? It's been too long."
He Sheng was very excited when he heard this, because the person Pippi described was him.
She can still recognize her own back, she has never really forgotten him, and he still left traces in her world.
...
No one delivered the menu, and the staff began to serve the dishes after they were seated.
The strange thing is that although she is abroad and it is western food, the staff here serve all Chinese food, and they are all her favorite dishes, there is nothing wrong with it.
"You arranged this?"
"Well, reward you for your hard work."
"OK, thanks."
Pippi listened, but always felt that the reason was far-fetched.
"Try it first."
Carl didn't know what kind of arrangements He Sheng made next, because he just booked this restaurant at first, and everything after that must have been instructed by He Sheng, he just waited and watched.
He Sheng is in this restaurant, in the same environment as them, so there is no need for Carl to remind him whether it is time to show up, so all he can do is assist. Whatever He Sheng arranges, Carl will remind Pippi what to do.
Listening to Carl's words, Pippi picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, "Mmm, it's delicious."
But she put down her chopsticks as soon as she took a bite, "I don't know why, it feels weird."
