Just as she reached the door, Mo Yan saw Luo Tao waiting for her.
He was wearing a shirt and pants that day. He looked like he was 22 or 23 years old. With striking looks and a height of 1.8 meters, he could easily attract attention by simply standing there.
Mo Yan quickly ran to Luo Tao to scare him, but unexpectedly, she saw him look dotingly at her when she was only halfway there.
“Ah! He’s really handsome!”
At some point in time, their colleagues had caught up with them, and the one who had made the exclamation was the first girl to exit.
!!
Mo Yan stopped in her tracks, suddenly feeling a little shy.
The others arrived downstairs one after the other, along with the sound of chattering.
Luo Tao wore a frosty expression as he fixed his eyes on a girl who had taken out her phone to take a photo.
She was startled and quickly put away her phone and left.
Mo Yan also noticed this, so she held Luo Tao’s arm and walked to the front of the crowd.
“I hope everyone doesn’t take photos! If the photos get out, you’ll be questioned by the police! And this person belongs with me! I’ll be jealous if photos are taken without permission.”
The first sentence was threatening, and the last was teasing. Although she appeared to be using a joking tone, they were all adults, so they knew what was permissible — the few who had secretly taken photos of Luo Tao deleted them.
“Where are we going to eat?” Luo Tao asked with a smile.
“Barbecue! I want to eat barbecue! I haven’t eaten it for a long time!” Xu Wan answered first.
Mo Yan thought about it and nodded. She, too, hadn’t eaten it for some time.
“Barbecue is smoky. The clothes of sister Mo Yan and brother-in-law will be soiled easily. Why not have western food instead!”
Hearing Li Guoguo’s words, Mo Yan subconsciously looked at their clothes. She was wearing a white shirt and a short black skirt. Together with Luo Tao’s white shirt and black trousers, they actually appeared to be wearing a couple’s outfit.
“It’s okay, our clothes are easy to wash. If you want to eat barbecue, then let’s eat that!”
“You’re making me want to eat too.” Xu Tian pushed up her gla.s.ses.
After deciding where to go, they headed straight to their destination.
The barbecue eatery was chosen by Xu Wan. She had always been familiar with all kinds of food in C City.
After ordering, Mo Yan and Xu Tian continued their earlier conversation. Meanwhile, Xu Wan and Luo Tao picked up their phones and started typing. Only Li Guoguo peeked at Luo Tao from time to time. When Luo Tao saw her, she pretended that she wasn’t looking at him.
“Luo Tao, what are you busy with!”
After chatting with Xu Tian, Mo Yan turned to Luo Tao. She spoke before she got close to Luo Tao. If he had been looking at something that he didn’t want her to see, he could simply turn it off. However, he directly pa.s.sed the phone to Mo Yan.
“Stocks?”
“Yes, have a look.”
Luo Tao took back his phone, and Mo Yan leaned over as well, resting on him bonelessly.
“You can understand this series of lines and bunch of squares?”
“The red line is the positive line, which means the closing price is higher than the opening price, and the green line is the negative line, which means the closing price is lower than the opening price. There are also the upper shadow, lower shadow, and solid lines.”
Luo Tao’s voice flowed slowly like a stream, but Mo Yan couldn’t comprehend it.
Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao cluelessly. Luo Tao also felt helpless, and he gently smiled and rubbed Mo Yan’s head.
“You don’t understand? Then I won’t talk about it.”
“Okay.” Mo Yan nodded obediently.
Mo Yan and Luo Tao seemed to be enveloped by some kind of aura, so no one else could interrupt them.
They made a face at Xu Wan, who could only gaze at the people opposite her with a wistful look.
Xu Tian poured herself a cup of complimentary tea and filled the others’ cups. Then, she slowly picked up the teacup and started to blow on it. However, her slightly drooping eyes were filled with relief.
And Li Guoguo’s expression was a little intriguing. Expressionlessly, she stared intently at them glued together, as if to stare a hole through them.
The slightly awkward atmosphere was broken only when the waiter served dishes to the table.
As soon as the meat was placed on the grilling grate, a sizzling sound was heard. Soon, the aroma of the meat drifted towards Mo Yan, almost causing her to drool.
The grills were covered with food, which whetted the appet.i.te.
Mo Yan and Xu Wan eyed a piece of barbecued meat at the same time; two pairs of chopsticks caught the meat slices.
