    182. Efficiency

    Gu Pan was sitting in the lounge, and there were two service staff specially invited for her. They were responsible for serving food and replenishing the drinks in the cup in a timely manner.

    Her mouth hasn’t stopped since the food started to be served, and her cheeks are full and round.

    Although there was a TV hanging on the wall facing her, Gu Pan didn’t want to watch the TV. Her eyes kept following the crowd outside the window, as if she was watching a live broadcast.

    But it was a live broadcast, and the strong soundproofing in the lounge prevented her from hearing any sound. The expressions and demeanor of those people talking to each other were as interesting as mime, and she enjoyed watching it.

    Xu Jingtang was surrounded by a large group of people outside. Although Gu Pan couldn’t hear the sound, he could still imagine what kind of 3D stereo surround chatter it was…

    The two girls who were sitting behind Gu Pan also rushed forward, but after taking out their cameras and expressing their wish to take a photo, Xu Jingtang refused with a cold face.

    And Gu Pan was also keenly aware that in the ten minutes since she had eaten, Xu Jingtang had already raised his wrist to check the time three times.

    This is enough to show how difficult the current time is for men…

    Gu Pan sat comfortably in the lounge, thinking that he seemed busy today, but actually he did nothing during the day.

    Commonly known as busy work.

    However, when she was idle, the messy thoughts in her head began to expand. While she was eating, she was thinking about what Xu Jingtang had just said to her at home.

    He said that he was the first person who was not contradicted by him.

    If this is really the first time, what’s going on with the endurance and skills? Is there such a thing as talent??

    Moreover, even though we chatted for a few words, the problem returned to its original point——

    What does Xu Jingtang like about her?

    Are you so fancy that even mysophobia can be cured?When did it start?

    Gu Pan recalled the scenes where he and Xu Jingtang had gotten along, and felt that except for the twist in the hotel, Xu Jingtang had never expressed anything at all…

    As he thought about it, Gu Pan even forgot about the action of eating and concentrated on thinking about what hints Xu Jingtang had given before.

    Then when Xu Jingtang pushed the door open and walked in, he happened to see the girl holding a half-eaten chicken leg in her hand and chopsticks in the other hand. She was sitting motionless at the dining table like a clay sculpture.

    There were so many dishes in front of me that at first glance it seemed that they had barely been touched.

    “What’s wrong?” Xu Jingtang looked down at the time again, “The food doesn’t taste good?”

    Gu Pan was shocked to realize that Xu Jingtang had returned to the lounge at some point. He was so frightened that the chicken drumsticks in his hands flew off: “No, the food is very delicious…”

    After saying that, Gu Pan thought that Xu Jingtang didn’t seem to have eaten either.

    “Shall we eat together?” Gu Pan looked up at Xu Jingtang, “I just saw that you have been talking to them, and you don’t seem to have eaten anything.”

    After saying that, Gu Pan remembered that given Xu Jingtang’s level of mysophobia, he probably wouldn’t sit here casually.

    “Ah…otherwise…” She quickly tried to explain away her lack of consideration, “Pack it up and take it to your house to eat?”

    Xu Jingtang felt warm in his heart when he looked at the little girl who had already worked hard to think about him, “Okay.”

    So the two of them walked to the parking lot carrying about a dozen packing boxes and got in the car. Gu Pan then realized in hindsight: “Hey, is the dinner over?”

    “No, but I told the organizer to leave early.” Xu Jingtang said without hesitation and started the engine.

    “Then…then since I just sat in the lounge for a while, shouldn’t I have bought this outfit at that time…” Gu Pan lowered his head and glanced at the formal attire he was wearing.

    It’s a new product from Recher’s business series…it’s very expensive.

    Although Gu Pan was not the one who paid the bill, the thought of such an expensive set of clothes being wasted still made her feel heartbroken and heartbroken.

    “Because I changed my mind temporarily.” The car turned smoothly out of the parking lot, “because I found that it seemed too inefficient for me to do this.”

    “Why is the efficiency too low?” Gu Pan looked at Xu Jingtang in confusion.

    “It’s too inefficient to find an excuse to call you out.” Xu Jingtang glanced at Gu Pan, his eyes warm, “It seems that it would be better for me to ask you out directly in the future.”

    Gu Pan didn’t expect that the efficiency Xu Jingtang was referring to was such an efficiency. His face suddenly turned red and he bit his lower lip and couldn’t say a word.

    Xu Jingtang’s expression was completely serious, with no hint of joking.

    Looking at the serious expression on the man’s face, the girl’s chest suddenly shook like a drum, and the small hammer on her chest made it difficult for Gu Pan to breathe.

    In fact, if He Zhizhou said this, Gu Pan might not think anything of it, because He Zhizhou was born with sweet words, so he just listened to many words.

    But Xu Jingtang said it in such a sincere tone, which made the words particularly alluring.

    “Um… Jingtang, I’ve always had a question.” Gu Pan originally wanted to pretend to be dead, but now, especially at this moment, she was really curious, so curious that she scratched her head.

    She took a deep breath, “What on earth…do you like about me?”

    It’s a question that’s not easy to answer. In fact, Xu Jingtang once asked himself what it was about that little girl that attracted him.

    But after a period of reflection and speculation, Xu Jingtang gradually seemed to understand.

    The little girl’s expression all the time, the polite and soft sense of distance, the submissive restraint, and the way she sometimes hesitates to speak.

    When you are drunk and crying so hard, when you are so shy that you are at a loss and your eyes are wandering around, and when you are pressed down by him and begging…

    The more you come into contact, the deeper you sink.

    When he came back to his senses, his world was already full of Gu Pan’s voices and smiles.

    “All.”

    He couldn’t even find a relatively more prominent point among so many points.

    When Gu Pan heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

    Obviously this was an unspoken answer, but when it came out of Xu Jingtang’s mouth, it felt so real and believable, as if he was really so attractive everywhere.

    She couldn’t help but glance sideways at Xu Jingtang who was driving.

    The man’s side face was as full of lines as ever, and the street lights on both sides of the window were quickly thrown behind the car, leaving many tiny shimmers in the car that had no time to dissipate.

    The man’s hand was holding the steering wheel, his fingers were long and knuckled, and Gu Pan couldn’t help but be entranced.

    Sensing the little girl’s gaze, Xu Jingtang’s lips curved in a slight arc.
