Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven Snow White and the Poisoned Apple

Feng Lan cried after Ding Xiaoye left.When she learned that Zhou Taoran was married, she felt more humiliated than sad.However, when Ding Xiaoye rejected her without any leeway, although she was also ashamed, her sadness overwhelmed everything else. Feng Lan often heard that some people can love another person silently for a long time.She envied such concentration, she really didn't know how she did it.The word crush is not in her dictionary.In her opinion, if you really like someone, unless you are not close enough to him, unless you have never thought about being with him at all, otherwise, as long as you see him and hear his voice, the heart that loves him has nowhere to go. hide.Look at his eyes, every word you say to him, every subtle expression, even your breath will betray you.

She blamed herself for being worthless, just finished annoyed at his decisiveness, and began to worry that she was pushing him too hard.Will Ding Xiaoye resign because he can't get along with her?She wasn't ready to let him go. Facts can only prove that Feng Lan thinks too much, and thinks Ding Xiaoye is too moral.The next day, when she arrived at the restaurant with panda eyes, she saw him showing his signature smiling face to two middle-aged ladies who came to dine without hesitation.The two ladies later ordered all the dishes that Ding Xiaoye recommended to them. Feng Lan's goal of recruiting Ding Xiaoye into the restaurant was achieved.She felt that she had dug a big, big hole, and others jumped into it, but she couldn't get out after jumping in by herself.

When Kangkang heard about the accident that Feng Lan had suffered last night, almost all the employees in the store came forward to ask for details, and comforted her again.Feng Lan repeated the story several times, and it was too annoying. Everyone looked at her with sympathy, and spontaneously interpreted her depression as a natural reaction after being frightened and broke.She had lost her car and her favorite shoes, but they didn't know that she seemed to have lost something that was many times more important. Until the afternoon, Feng Lan checked the supplier's delivery list from the past week behind the bar, and there were a few doubts in it, so she called the store manager, who said that Ding Xiaoye had signed for the goods, so she went to the store again. Call Ding Xiaoye over to reconcile the account.

There is no major problem with the accounts, but the delivery boy is a novice, which caused some invoices to be inconsistent with the actual delivery volume.Ding Xiaoye quickly explained the crux of the problem to Feng Lan. As a waiter, he was quite competent, and Feng Lan couldn't fault him.It happened that the table booking phone rang, and the store manager saw that the matter here had been settled, so he walked away to answer the phone.Feng Lan glanced at Ding Xiaoye, and he acted like a normal person again. Feng Lan hated him the most.She didn't sleep well all night, but he passed without a trace.God knows that when she saw him for the first time this morning, she was a little relieved, but at the same time she was even more angry and contemptuous, and also a little curious.Who are these people!

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Don't you find it embarrassing to work under me?" Ding Xiaoye said: "It's not easy to find a job now, and the salary you give is not bad. I'm still waiting for a salary increase in three months." "Thinking about money like crazy!" Feng Lan threw away the delivery note, and said angrily: "You are so good at calculating, you didn't even see the pie in the sky to pick it up!" "The 'pie' you mentioned means..." Ding Xiaoye humbly asked for advice. Feng Lan was irritated by his pretending to be confused, she questioned: "Am I ugly?"

"It's not like pie anyway." "Fart! Even if you're not impressed by my looks, I'm still your boss. Can't you just refuse for the sake of money?" Liu Kangkang realized that his voice almost attracted gossip. , Feng Lan quickly lowered his head and pretended to be busy, suppressing his voice and said in a hateful voice: "Can't you pretend to be shaken? Make me feel better?" Ding Xiaoye spread his five fingers and shook them in front of her. "What?!" Feng Lan walked away angrily. Ding Xiaoye said: "Just think that I've been 'shaken' just now, does it make you feel better?"

Feng Lan stared at him coldly for a while, and said word by word: "It's not funny at all!" The corners of Ding Xiaoye's mouth could not help but rise. The closer Feng Lan got to him, the less he understood him.When he's not smiling, he's like a blade, when he's smiling... like a wolf that has successfully hunted. In Ding Xiaoye's eyes, she is no different from a scrawny prey, who doesn't even bother eating to eat, and just throws it aside for teasing. "You said it's not easy to find a job. That's right, it's much more difficult than finding a stupid woman." Feng Lan said bitterly.

Ding Xiaoye said: "The ones that are too stupid are hard to find." Feng Lan grabbed the menu at the corner of the bar and hit Ding Xiaoye on the head.Kangkang rushed over to save the siege, patted his chest and said, "Ouch! Those who didn't know thought you were a couple fighting!" In the end, Kang Kang managed to point Feng Lan's recipe at his head, and he ran away with his head in his arms. All afternoon, Feng Lan leaned behind the bar in a daze.When Ding Xiaoye looked at her, his half-smile was always circling in her mind.How silly is she acting?So she thought about what happened last night in detail, from the kiss on the bus until he turned and left... The more she thought about it, the more she felt ashamed.

Ding Xiaoye had reminded her a long time ago that it is very embarrassing to fall in love with a waiter, and what is even more embarrassing is being rejected by a waiter. How could she take the initiative to kiss a man, and say the word "like" openly?Feng Lan has never done this kind of thing before. She has no experience in chasing a man, so she should have acted more discreetly if she knew it earlier.Keep this in my heart, at most I will think of it and laugh at myself once in the future, but the kisses and words I send out now are like water poured out. If others find out, her fame will be given to the dogs in vain. Why not Now tear off this face and bury yourself.

How strict is Ding Xiaoye's mouth?This is the key to determining whether she can live or not. Before the off-duty time of the office building, there were not many customers in the restaurant.Kangkang pestered Ding Xiaoye to chat at the kitchen door.Although Ding Xiaoye didn't like Feng Lan, Feng Lan was sure that he didn't like Liu Kangkang either.What are they talking about?The way they whispered seemed to be quite happy.Will Ding Xiaoye be impatient with Kangkang's weird fashion ideas?What's terrible is that while the two of them were talking, Ding Xiaoye glanced at Feng Lan intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his lips.Liu Kangkang even covered his mouth and trembled wildly.

Kangkang's identity is subtle, if he knew about this, Feng Lan could basically hit a wall. At the regular meeting in the afternoon, Feng Lan made an exception and said a few words.In the past, unless there was something particularly important to announce, she usually gave the right to speak to the store manager.So when she cleared her throat in front of a dozen employees, everyone thought someone was about to get fired, or that something was going wrong with the restaurant. In the end, Feng Lan told them a story, it was still a fairy tale. The general context of the story is as follows: the prince with a good family and appearance is in love with the orphan Snow White.One night, the prince kissed Snow White and expressed his love for her.The princess had no vision, rejected the prince, and spread bad things about the prince everywhere.In order to punish the princess, the righteous witch made her eat a poisoned apple, turned her into an ugly monster and dumb, and endured the insult and torture of the seven dwarfs.Snow White regretted it at the beginning, but at this time the prince met another beautiful and noble princess, and they lived a happy life ever since.End. After Feng Lan finished speaking, he left, leaving behind everyone who looked at each other in blank dismay.When Kang Kang sang "Backgammon", he was still muttering, but fortunately he was eighteen years old, or the proprietress would have ruined his childhood. That night, before going to bed, Ding Xiaoye accidentally found an apple beside his pillow.There is a note inserted with a pocket fruit knife on it. Different from the impression that Feng Lan's people left on Ding Xiaoye, her handwriting is clear and elegant. The note read: "Forget what happened last night, it was just a hormonal abnormality after the crisis was overcome together. Here is a poisoned apple to help you remember what happened to Snow White." Ding Xiaoye pulled out the fruit knife and ate the apple three times, unexpectedly it was very sweet.He looked down at the apple core in his hand, imagining Feng Lan saying "apple is poisonous", before he realized it, he had already smiled for a long time. It's a pity that such a relaxed feeling didn't stay in Ding Xiaoye's heart.He shook his half-dry hair and leaned against the head of the bed, the scene of meeting Cui Yan on Qixi Festival appeared before his eyes again. Cui Yan has grown up a lot, and she is far from her teenage appearance.On the day of their first reunion, if she and Zeng Fei hadn't shown intimacy and attracted Ding Xiaoye to take a closer look, Ding Xiaoye might not have recognized her. The beaded rabbit that Feng Lan was playing with in his hand made Ding Xiaoye sure that he was right. Ding Xiaoye knew that Cui Yan also recognized him, and her uncontrollably surprised expression almost made Zeng Fei and Feng Lan see the clue.Out of caution, Ding Xiaoye did not meet Cui Yan immediately after Cui Yan's suggestion, but waited for a while to make sure that Zeng Fei was not suspicious, and waited until he was away on a business trip before meeting Cui Yan on Qixi Festival . Cui Yan called out the name he was about to forget.He reminded her that his name is now "Ding Xiaoye".Cui Yan didn't care about his name, she said, "I thought you wouldn't see me." Ding Xiaoye said: "The store is very busy, and it is not easy to arrange a vacation." Cui Yan exclaimed: "You are really dedicated to being a waiter." "Otherwise? What do you think I should do?" Ding Xiaoye's words pointed. This is exactly what Cui Yan worried about, she asked: "Why do you want to come back?" "I can't come? It's been a long time. It's not too much to visit an old acquaintance." Cui Yan's complexion changed, and she blurted out: "Don't hurt him." Ding Xiaoye sneered, "Has he degenerated enough to need your protection?" Cui Yan said: "I don't want him to hurt you either!" Ding Xiaoye looked at Cui Yan quietly, she was not as good as her mother, but her features were still similar—maybe her thoughts were also similar.He said, "Your last name is Cui, it's a joke!" Cui Yan relaxed a bit, and said with a smile: "What's the difference in your surname? Your surname was Cui before, but now it's called 'Ding Xiaoye'. The name is just a symbol. What should my surname be? My biological father's surname? Mom, besides leaving a sperm, what else is there to me? In my heart, he is not as good as your father. At least your father has allowed us to live a peaceful life for a few years. Since no one asked me to change my surname, My surname is Cui, and I can repay him." "It seems that Zeng Fei treats you well." When mentioning the name Zeng Fei, Cui Yan was obviously not as casual as before.She cautiously said to Ding Xiaoye: "He is my relative!" "Dear one?" Ding Xiaoye smiled meaningfully. Cui Yan blushed, and unconsciously straightened her waist, as if this would make her more determined.She said, "Yes, I love him. Can't I?" "This thing can also be inherited?" Ding Xiaoye pretended to be surprised, and his words were merciless. As expected, Cui Yan's face was flushed, and she screamed: "He and my mother are not what you think. Even if they are, I love him!" "The question is, does he love you too?" "certainly!" Cui Yan's self-deceived lies made Ding Xiaoye smile ironically again, he dragged his voice and said, "Is——? I thought he was pursuing Feng Lan." These words seemed to hit Cui Yan's life, she trembled her lips, trying to calm down, "He has too many things to worry about, so he deliberately avoids me. I will let him know that he actually loves me, he I just can't admit it." "You guys are so interesting!" Cui Yan heard Ding Xiaoye's ridicule, took a deep breath and said, "Laugh! I dare to say it, but I'm afraid of being laughed at by others? Zeng Fei is the person who cares about me most in this world. I can remember everything that is good. He gave it to me. Me, I have nothing, love is the best thing for me. So I will love him for the rest of my life. Nothing can stop me from being with him." "What if the person who stopped you was Zeng Fei?" Ding Xiaoye asked curiously. Cui Yan put her cold hand on the back of Ding Xiaoye's hand, pleading, "So I must see you. Help me, I know Feng Lan likes you. I can tell..." Ding Xiaoye withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "What makes you think I will help you?" "Just because I am the person who knows your details best in this world...among the living people." Cui Yan said heartily. A layer of severe frost gradually covered Ding Xiaoye's face, he leaned back as far as possible, and asked in a low voice, "Are you threatening me?" Cui Yan shook her head again and again, choked up and said, "No, I'm begging you." Ding Xiaoye stood up, and when he was about to leave, Cui Yan reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "Let go." His warning was calm, "You know exactly what kind of person I am." Cui Yan did not let go, tears were in her eyes, "I have never been afraid of you, and I know that you did not come back to hurt Zeng Fei. In my heart, you have always been a very good person, and human nature will not change. Cui Ting... No, Xiao Ye, I called you brother." Ding Xiaoye kept his face away in silence, and sighed after a while: "Can you keep him for a while, for a lifetime?" Seeing a glimmer of hope, Cui Yan grabbed Ding Xiaoye's hand and refused to let go, "I have a solution, I will find a solution! As long as Feng Lan doesn't promise him, I will still have time. You can help me hold Feng Lan, It won't take long. She can't refuse you..." "Don't get involved with her." "I didn't mean to hurt her. She doesn't love Zeng Fei! Is it interesting for them to marry like this? Feng Lan is rich, has a family, and is beautiful. She has everything... But I only have Zeng Fei..." Cui Yanlei flow all over the face. Ding Xiaoye finds it ridiculous that people always live in the longing for others.Cui Yan envied Feng Lan, who did Feng Lan envy?She has everything in the eyes of others, but he can't help but think of her embarrassment after being drunk. "Let go." Ding Xiaoye still said the same words, but his tone has softened a lot.He doesn't like Cui Yan's appearance, but isn't every unscrupulous person because the goal they are striving for is too important to them? "Will you help me?" Cui Yan wiped away tears, her eyes were full of begging. What appeared before Ding Xiaoye's eyes was Cui Yan seven years ago. At that time, she was just a little girl who was thinner than her peers. No matter in front of anyone, she always had a flattering smile on her face.The relationship between them was so awkward, but she still followed him and called "Brother" loudly.The image of that little girl gradually overlapped with her face full of tears.Why is love out of reach for so many people? "Let's go." Ding Xiaoye finally managed to withdraw his hand, "Don't call the store again, it's not good for anyone." Cui Yan nodded, her tears stopped flowing, only sentimentality remained in her eyes.Neither she nor he had a mother, and she was the lucky one in comparison. "Cui... Ding Xiaoye, how have you lived these years?" Ding Xiaoye did not intend to answer this question. Cui Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked sincerely, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Ding Xiaoye said: "Take care of your man and live your life. Just pretend you have never seen me."
