    Xue Xue received a call from Gao He.

    She had no intention of going to the appointment and wanted to find any excuse to refuse, but…

    “I heard that you have a close relationship with the players?”

    Xue Xue held the phone tightly.

    “What?”

    “It’s nothing, let’s talk about it when we meet.” Gao He’s tone was as always, gentle but unquestionable.”I’ve already made a reservation at the restaurant. See you at the usual place tonight.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the man hung up the phone.

    It’s always like this.

    Gao congratulated Xue Jingshu.

    Chang Xiaoyu, who was standing aside, looked at Xue Xue’s unhappy face and asked cautiously: “Sister Xue, then tonight…”

    “I won’t go there.” She took the card out of her wallet and handed it to Chang Xiaoyu.”Just use this card to tie the knot, don’t worry about how much it costs.”

    “Okay.”

    The restaurant Gao He ordered was on the top floor of a department store in the city.

    The transparent dome is covered with climbing plants such as wisteria, coral vine, ball orchid, dunbo flower, golden kudzu, etc., and a glass round hole is drilled at the highest point. If the weather is cloudless, the splash-like sky can be seen at a glance, and the stars and moon seem to be within reach.

    Gao He is one of the investors of the restaurant and has his own exclusive private room.

    When Xue Xue arrived, he was already waiting inside.

    “You’re late.”

    The waiter opened the back of Xue Xue’s chair, adjusted the position of the screen, and quickly exited.

    She sat down, her attitude calm.

    “You must have arrived early.”

    Gao He raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

    “Oh?”

    Xue Xue knew why he had this amusing reaction.

    In the past, when Xue Jingshu and Gao He made dinner appointments, they would arrive at least half an hour early.

    This has become her habit unconsciously.

    “Jing Shu.” Gao He looked at her with deep eyebrows and bottomless eyes.”You feel a lot changed.”

    Xue Xue chuckled.

    “Is it possible that you have never understood me?”

    Hearing this, the smile faded a little from Gao He’s face.

    The man was born very upright, and the years left not only the wind and frost on his face, but also an indescribable charm, especially the restraint and confidence shown in his every move, making Gao He always look calm, gentle and elegant.

    But when he stops smiling, the majesty he has held in a high position for a long time will naturally be revealed, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

    Normally, Xue Jingshu couldn’t resist Gao He’s appearance.

    But Xue Xue is different.

    “You still like to eat foie gras.” She said nonchalantly: “I can’t get used to this taste.”

    “Not used to it?” Gao He frowned.”You weren’t before…”

    “Humanity is sophisticated, Mr. Gao.” Xue Xue picked up the knife and fork.”This is what I learned best during the two years I stayed with you.”

    Because of her words, the atmosphere completely cooled down.

    A corner of the peaceful exterior was lifted, revealing the surging undercurrent inside.

    Xue Xue seemed not to notice.

    “I heard that in ancient Egypt and Rome, people already knew how to enjoy the delicious taste of foie gras.”

    The hot and crispy skin is sliced open by a sharp knife.

    “But it wasn’t until the reign of Louis XVI, when foie gras was presented to the court as a tribute to Louis XV, that its delicacy was truly promoted.”

    Xue Xue cut off a thin slice.

    Judging from the half-cooked cut, we also know that the taste must be dense and smooth, with full aroma.

    Gao He was silent for a moment.

    “What do you want to express?”

    Xue Xue smiled.

    “Time is magical, don’t you think?”

    “Xue Jingshu…”

    “People can spend a long, long time pursuing what they can’t always find, and they can also realize in a very short time that it’s not worth it.”

    “Xue Jingshu!” Gao He’s face darkened.”You have exceeded the rules!”

    “Yes, I exceeded the rules.” Xue Xue readily admitted.”So you actually knew this all along, right?”

    The man’s eyes narrowed.

    Xue Xue looked at him, with a touch of sadness in his bright eyes.

    “You know, just always turning a blind eye.”

    Her voice was light and airy, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

    “Look at me being confused but exerting all my strength, and my head was bruised and bloody. What are you thinking?”

    “So Xue Jingshu likes Gao He? No way?”

    “Why not? Didn’t I tell you that human emotions are very complicated.” Xue Xue supported his chin with his hand.”But rather than saying that she likes him, she probably admires Gao He more. It may be a kind of projection at first.”

    The system doesn’t understand why.

    “What projection?”

    “Xue Jingshu is from a single-parent family.” Hearing the sound of water boiling, Xue Xue stood up and walked to the kitchen.”Gao He probably fits the image of her father very well. She wrote this in her diary.”

    “Huh?”

    “Because of this, it is normal for her to have a more favorable impression of Takaga than others from the beginning.”

    After turning off the electric stove, Xue Xue carried the newly boiled hot water kettle onto the heat-insulating mat and tore off the seal on the instant noodles.

    “A gentleman with a successful career will take good care of you at work. Even the surgery performed on Xue Jingshu’s mother was only possible through the relationship with Gao He, who was able to find industry authorities and form a professional team to perform the surgery.”

    “If it were you, wouldn’t you feel any excitement at all?”

    This can bring down the system.

    He has no emotions.

    But what Xue Xue wanted was not his answer.

    “Actually, Gao He is the real master.”

    “Master?”

    “Yes.” After pouring the seasoning packets into the instant noodle bowl in order, Xue Xue washed the hot water down. In an instant, steam came out and white smoke was like mist.”Master of PUA.”
