can't say goodbye to you

Yu He didn't quite understand: "She came here today clearly, why is she running away now?"

"That's why I said, she's just like that." The old lady Gu got up, nodded with Xiaowei, and said, "I will pay for the ring first, but the things may need to be kept with you for a while .”

Xiaowei nodded: "This is no problem, I will pack it and wait for Mr. Gu to pick it up."

The old lady Gu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but I have one more request."

Xiaowei nodded: "You order."

"Can you make a display frame for this pair of rings, and put it in the most conspicuous place in your store. If someone comes to ask, just say this one has already been ordered."

"Ah?" Xiaowei was a little at a loss: "Why?"

"Just do this first, and I will naturally come to ask." Mrs. Gu waved her hand without explaining, and was about to leave.

Xiaowei didn't dare to ask further questions, so she could only send the old lady away. Seeing that the old lady got into the car and drove away, she muttered to herself: "The society of the rich is simply too strange!"

The old lady got in the car and went home directly. Gu Xiujin and Gu Yan also went home for dinner. The old lady talked about what happened today, and several people exchanged information about the company's situation in the past few days at the dinner table. They went back to their respective rooms to rest.

At this time, Zhiweizhai was about to close, and Qiao Mu had already started packing up the tableware and cooking utensils when he was about to send away the last customer. At this time, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of Zhiweizhai.

The open kitchen allowed Qiao Mu to see the figure at a glance, so familiar and unfamiliar, he almost dropped the medical stone pot in his hand.

Chu Zhu finally came. During the time she disappeared, Qiao Mu thought about her all the time. Now she was in front of him, but Qiao Mu didn't know what to do. The two assistants behind him had already tidied up the warehouse. The next two people, one at the door of the shop and the other in the kitchen, faced each other, neither of them spoke.

"Excuse me, is this place closed?" Finally, Chu Zhu spoke first. She wrapped the chewing gum in her mouth in a paper and pinched it in her hand. She asked embarrassedly, "My friend and I want to have a meal here."

"Yes, yes, yes! Yes!" Qiao Mu had already stuttered, not knowing how to deal with the current situation. He looked back, damn it, all the assistants ran away, and the waiter was gesturing to cheer him up. look.

"Please come in." The waiter in the front hall had no choice but to come out to save the scene after being glared at by the chef. He found a seat in the middle and opened the chair, "Please sit down."

Chu Zhu nodded and sat down, but pushed away the menu given to her by the waiter, and said with a smile: "My friend will come later, I'm a little hungry, can you make me an egg fried rice first?"

The waiter didn't know if the back door could be opened, so he turned to look at Qiao Mu, who nodded quickly, isn't this nonsense?Even if your proprietress wants to eat the stars in the sky, she can do it!

The waiter nodded quickly: "Okay, just wait a moment."

"Thank you." Chu Zhu nodded slightly.

Qiao Mu felt that the most difficult dish in the world was today's fried rice with eggs. His hands were shaking when he was beating the eggs, and he didn't know whether to put the rice or the oil first, and his mind was completely confused.

Chu Zhu was watching Qiao Mu busy in the kitchen. She smiled slightly, and looked at the chef in front of her who had already met the Michelin requirements, but looked like a child entering the kitchen for the first time.

During the whole production process, Chu Zhu didn't look away for a minute, watching Qiao Mu go from flustered to calm, to proficient, and finally brought a plate of egg fried rice in front of her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Qiao Mu put the plate on, even her voice was trembling, she was more nervous than the first time she saw her.

"Thank you." Chu Zhu picked up the spoon and began to eat egg fried rice bite by bite. The distance between the two of them was only one table, but no one spoke again.

Qiao Mu actually prepared a lot of questions to ask.For example, where have you been during this time?are you doing okay?How did you lose weight?When can I come back?

But from the moment he saw Chu Zhu, he felt that everything was superfluous, just like this egg fried rice, it only needed simple ingredients, and as long as he knew how to use a pot, a child could cook it.

Chu Zhu also prepared a lot of words, ready to answer Qiao Mu's questions. She really wanted to tell the man in front of her all her experiences during this period. She loves beauty, but she cut her hair short; she is strong, but she also needs a shoulder like Qiao Mu's. Rely on, but she didn't say, seeing him is enough.

Because she had just tasted everything from that bowl of complex egg fried rice.

She lowered her head and ate, mixing the tears. Because of sobbing, she choked up and couldn't eat any more. Qiao Mu hurriedly handed over the tissue, asking her not to force her. After all, he also knew that this bowl of rice should have mixed flavors.

However, he couldn't utter a single word, thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't squeeze out a single word.

Chu Zhu continued to stuff the egg fried rice into his mouth bite by bite until he finished the last bite.She took the paper towel from Qiao Mu's hand and wiped it, nodded and said, "Thank you."

Qiao Mu had no choice but to take away the plate of fried rice with eggs, and turned back to the kitchen.

Chu Zhu looked at the time on the phone, left an envelope in the carry-on bag on the table, turned around and said to the waiter: "I still have something to do, give this to her when my friend comes over, tell her, I'll come After that, she will pay for the meal."

After speaking, he turned around and left, the waiter didn't dare to say anything, thinking: You are the proprietress here, if you don't pay, can the chef kill you?
When Qiao Mu plucked up the courage to ask clearly, when he turned around and came back, he found that Chu Zhu had already left.

He hurriedly chased it out, and Chu Zhu had already disappeared in the sea of ​​traffic, so he hurried back and asked the waiter, "Where is the person?"

The waiter looked blank: "Are you leaving?" After the waiter finished speaking, Chu Ling stumbled and ran in, grabbed Qiao Mu, and asked out of breath, "Where's the man?"

"Let's go." Qiao Mu slumped on the chair like a deflated ball, and Chu Ling took a breath, picked up the cup next to him and drank wildly: "I'm still a step too late."

"Maybe that's what she thinks, and it's not necessarily true." Qiao Mu said absentmindedly, "She just wants to prove to everyone that she is still alive."

That's enough, yes, that's the meaning of her coming to Zhiweizhai.

"What is she doing here?" Chu Ling finally recovered, "It's impossible for her to just sit around!"

The waiter on the side said slowly: "She came to eat a bowl of fried rice with eggs, and the money has not yet been settled..."

Chu Ling sneered: "You let people go without giving money, your chef is really getting better and better!"

The waiter was trembling at the side: I dare not accept the proprietress' account!

"By the way, she said that this package is for her friend, so you should be her friend." The waiter pointed to the envelope next to him and said, "She said this is for you, and then..." Then please put The money for the meal is settled.

Before Chu Ling finished listening to the second half of the sentence, he snatched the envelope and opened it. Inside was a thick stack of papers, some were copied, some were handwritten, and some of them had fingerprints on them. Chu Ling Immediately realizing the importance of these pieces of paper, he said to Qiao Mu, "This is for you. I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."

After speaking, Chu Ling turned around and left.

Qiao Mu sighed, he was in a melancholy mood just now, and he was blown away by that girl from Chu Ling, and now he couldn’t be happy, nor sad, and the half-worried mood just got stuck on the reading note , was suddenly interrupted.

He curled his lips, put the envelope left on the table casually into his pocket, stood up helplessly, walked to the kitchen and began to wash up to calm himself down, the assistants in the warehouse and the staff in the restaurant The waiters huddled together, ready to start sharing gossip.

After a while, the waiter said weakly: "Chef, just now that bowl of fried rice with eggs... didn't pay..."

Qiao Mu smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "What to do, I can only blame your proprietress on my head." After speaking, he continued to wash the pot.

After all the pots were washed and the waiters tidied up the front hall, the assistants said goodbye and went home.Qiao Mu was the only one left in the huge Zhiweizhai, sitting on the seat where Chu Zhu had sat, recalling the dream-like scene.

Qiao Mu always felt something was wrong, because it was Chu Zhu, she couldn't have come here just to eat a bowl of fried rice with eggs, and she couldn't have put such an envelope on the table in such a fair way, she must have something else for her. Own.

So Qiao Mu stood up and frantically searched up and down the seat, until there was a piece of paper pasted under the table, and he was relieved.

He carefully peeled off the piece of paper that was hastily pasted under the table with chewing gum, and just squatted in the corner like this, watching Chu Zhu leave him a letter by the weak light of his mobile phone.

"You should understand me. I can't drag you into the water yet. The matter I'm investigating has basically got a clue. I dare not say that I will be back soon. People say that once I say this Even if the FLAG is set up, then we really can’t go back, many things will look outrageous now, but when everything is over, we will go back to the beginning.”

The handwriting was a little scribbled, as if it was written in a very urgent situation. I knocked on the door and read it word by word many times. I was happy and worried. A big man even touched tears. He turned the paper over Behind, I saw a PS.

"PS: I left a gift in the flower bed at your door, I hope you like it."

Qiao Mu quickly wiped away his tears, stumbled to the door, and looked for a gift with the flashlight. He thought it would be difficult to find, but when he turned on the flashlight, he saw the unremarkable dogtail grass ring.

Qiao Mu carefully picked up the ring, stood at the door, looked at it for a long time, crying and laughing, what he didn't know was that in a certain corner, Chu Zhu also looked at him, crying and laughing.
