"Anniversary of J City University?"
Suny had just fastened her seatbelt, when she heard Austin's words and couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"
Austin shook his head, "I seem to have been invited too."
Suny inclined her head and looked at him askance, "What do you mean “seem to”?"
"I got too many invitations."
Suny hummed, "Mr. Johnson is really something."
Austin reached out and shook her hand, "So when will invite me?"
Suny was amused by his seriousness, "Aren't I going to dinner with you now?"
Austin looked at her, his dark eyes moving slightly, "I would like you to invite me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you, of course, I can invite you."
"Can't I afford to spend that money?"
It was only twelve, who could not afford it?
Only after she finished did she feel that she had responded too quickly and fallen into Austin's trap.
"So, going to the Civil Service tomorrow?"
Suny looked at him with a wry smile, "Mr. Johnson, there's still quite a lot of your progress bar, right?"
"It depends on you, Miss Holland."
Suny glared at him, "Don’t ever think about it!"
Saying that, Suny let out a light laugh, "Can we go eat now? I'm hungry."
Austin knew she was changing the subject, but knew he couldn't be too hasty and nodded, "Sit well."
Austin drove very steadily, otherwise Suny would not have almost fallen asleep in the car several times.
They were both already old customers of Bishounen, and although Suny did not count the faults of Bishounen's side in the last incident with Winnie, Austin went to express his dissatisfaction with Elijah.
Now that the two had just entered the doorway, they were greeted by someone, and the waiter that day might have been transferred elsewhere or simply fired, Suny didn't see him any more until she left.
Suny and Austin had not even reached the car when they saw Elijah.
Elijah stood by the two men's car, obviously waiting for them.
Suny, "Mr. Brooks."
"Suny, Austin."
Elijah smiled and looked at Austin, "It's a rare chance encounter, there's an exhibition match over at the back of the mountain tonight, won't you take Suny to see it?"
It was only yesterday that Elijah learned that his friend had been chasing Suny for so long and still hadn't gotten her.
As a good person, Elijah felt that he should step in to help Austin.
He simply found Austin's car and waited here.
Austin played racing before he was twenty-two, so the Austin that Suny learned about after she came to J City was still different from the Austin of his youthful and frivolous days.
Now hearing Elijah ask this, she couldn't help but be curious: "Where is the back mountain?"
When Elijah saw that Suny was interested, he simply put the focus on Suny: "If you are curious, let Austin take you there! In the past, Austin was the mountain bully of that back mountain."
Austin gave Elijah a cold look, somewhat disgusted: "Why are you talking so much?"
"......"
This man was so insensitive!
Forget it, he's generous, don't bother with him!
Suny looked at Austin with a tilted head and smiled, "Can I go?"
Turning his head, Austin's eyes had softened: "Yes."
With that, he pulled open the car door, "Get in, I'll take you there."
Elijah, who was completely ignored: "...... I didn't drive over today, can I--"
He smiled, "Don't be jealous, baby."
With that, Austin raised his hand and rubbed it directly on her head.
Suny looked at him and her earlobe reddened.
Suny withdrew her eyes and pointed ahead, "It's green light."
"Okay."
Austin responded and gave her one last look before withdrawing his gaze and restarting the car.
The car was back in motion and drove out of the suburbs twenty minutes later.
Austin slowly picked up speed, and Suny looked out the car window at the trees flying past, knowing that she was already out of the suburbs.
After about another twenty minutes, five or six hundred metres apart, Suny saw a light ahead, and the reverb music was so loud that she could hear it clearly, despite sitting inside the car.
As the car drove closer, Austin stopped and led her out of the car.
It was still early in the day and it was just getting dark.
The wind at the foot of the mountain was very cold, and Austin took her hand and walked to the side, the further they walked away from the crowd.
After walking for more than two minutes, Austin suddenly opened his mouth and asked her, "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"
Suny raised her eyebrows slightly, "Aren't I your baby, Austin?"
Her voice was soft and clear with a few brittle notes.
Austin looked back at her, and under the moonlight, Suny's eyes were as bright as stars. He suddenly remembered the day they first got married, she looked at him like this too.
Austin only felt as if his heart had been hit by something, sinking and inexplicably warm.
He tightened his grip on her hand, "Well, you are."
How could he afford to sell his treasure.
