Ivan turned his head and looked at Qiao Yue, with a good-looking smile on his lips.
The car drove a little further and stopped. Ivan took off his seat belt. The gentleman went to the other side and opened the door for Gu qiaoyue. He smiled and said, "here, this is the only French restaurant I found here."
Gu qiaoyue lifted her eyes and saw that it was indeed a French restaurant with many people.
Ten years of reform and opening up, this is the key period from the transition from food and clothing to a well-off society. It is not obvious in the mainland, but it is already very obvious in the coastal areas. People's living conditions have improved significantly, and a number of people have become rich first.
At present, there are many people in this French restaurant. Many people come with female companions. It seems that there are some general shadows of future generations.
"Thank you, Miss Gu, for having dinner with me." Ivan made an invitation gesture and said very gentlemanly.
Gu qiaoyue nodded faintly. He was not polite at all. He walked into the restaurant with him.
As soon as I sat down, a waiter came and handed me a menu in French.
Ivan picked it up. Yu Guang skimmed over Gu qiaoyue sitting opposite with the same menu. Just about to ask her if she needed help, Gu qiaoyue ordered some meals in fluent French.
Ivan's eyes opposite showed surprise.
When he was paying attention to Gu qiaoyue, Gu qiaoyue was also paying attention to him. Seeing his surprised expression, he smiled and said, "you seem surprised that I can speak French?"
Ivan ordered a meal. After the waiter left, he smiled and nodded:
"Miss Gu really surprised me. Like a treasure chest girl, you never know how excellent you are until you open it. I thought you were fluent in English, but I didn't expect you to write so well."
Gu qiaoyue smiled and said, "Mr. Ivan's Chinese is also very good. Is this the first time Mr. Ivan has come to China?"
Ivan smiled and shook his head: "it's not the first time. I've been here several times before, but they all come and go in a hurry without stopping."
"Can I venture to ask you, is your Chinese studied in China?" Gu qiaoyue asked again.
Ivan said with a smile, "Miss Gu seems very interested in me?"
Gu qiaoyue shrugged and said with a smile, "it's just that few foreigners can speak Chinese well. You're an exception, so you're very curious."
She suddenly asked, "do you know the story of a blessing in disguise?"
Ivan's eyes shrunk, then shook his head and asked, "I don't know. Would miss Gu mind telling me?"
Although it was only a moment, Gu qiaoyue noticed his slightly changed eyes just now. She said quietly as if nothing had happened:
"This place doesn't seem to be a suitable place to tell stories, but if Mr. Ivan is interested, I can send you a children's story published in China. There are many fables and small stories, which are of great significance to enlighten and warn the world."
Gu qiaoyue said with a smile, so that people can't see what she thinks at all.
Although it was only for a moment, Gu qiaoyue was sure that eight out of ten people in front of him were Chris. If not, he was also a person who had a lot of relationship with Chris.
Although it feels strange, Gu qiaoyue is still willing to guess with the greatest impossibility.
Her intuition has always been very accurate, and this time is certainly no exception. In any case, Ivan has a problem, which is worth guessing with the greatest impossibility.
Otherwise, the previous difficulties cannot be explained.
Where did the real Chris go when he wasn't at school, why did he get a fake to replace him, and why did Ivan give her a feeling like Chris.
Since she couldn't get the answer, she guessed that Ivan was Chris, and then confirmed her idea step by step.
For example, just now, she inadvertently said, "what a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." she said it on purpose, because Chris told her about it, so she asked it on purpose.
Of course, she would not think what he said must be the truth, nor would she think what he said must be a lie.
In fact, no matter what the answer is, she doesn't care whether she knows the story or not. She just wants to observe his expression from a subtle point of view.
If a person tells a lie, it will show a little bit more or less, then it is just a change in her eyes. As long as she observes it carefully, she will be able to observe it.
And she achieved her goal.
When he said "I don't know", his eyes flashed for a moment, but it also proved that he was nervous and lying at that moment.
Gu qiaoyue said he would give him the book. Of course, Ivan said thank you very much. He was looking forward to it.
Soon, their order came up.
The two chatted one after another, which seemed to be some insignificant problems, but Gu qiaoyue always talked about her relationship with Chris to observe Ivan's expression.
Although Ivan was very calm, Gu qiaoyue noticed something different. When he was leaving, he smiled and said:
"Speaking of you, you are the second American I know. I also know one before you. He is an exchange student in our school. His name is Chris. He is a very cheerful and lively big boy. Unfortunately, he has become a little strange recently."
"Oh? How strange?" Ivan asked, and her eyes became deep.
Gu qiaoyue said with a smile, "I can't tell. Anyway, the students in the school say that he suddenly becomes silent. In my impression, he is not a silent person. He always feels that something has happened to him. It's a pity that I still have work to deal with here and can't go back to help him."
Gu qiaoyue said with a lost look on her face. She shrugged and smiled: "look at me, what do you say to me? Although you are all American, you are different from him..."
"Does he like you?"
Gu qiaoyue was interrupted by Ivan before he finished his words.
Gu qiaoyue was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
Ivan still smiled gently and said, "I mean, he may be silent because he likes you and you are not around."
Gu qiaoyue asked suspiciously, "are you American boys like this?"
Ivan shrugged and said with a smile, "there's such a thing."
Gu qiaoyue thought about it and pretended to think, "it's possible, but I've told him I already have a partner before. Why would he do this?"
Gu qiaoyue looked at Ivan with a serious face and eyes.
Ivan shook his head and said with a smile, "that's not good. Maybe he has encountered something recently, or it may be adolescence?"
Gu qiaoyue nodded, smiled at him and said, "thank you, Mr. Ivan. Your words are very helpful to me. Bye."
