It is a woman's privilege to make men wait. Xia Zuoyang, who has been out of touch with society for a long time, may not understand this very well, but Chu Qingyun, a woman, is very clear about it. A matter of course.

And it was this small detail that made her leave an unusual impression in that man's heart.

"Come inside, please."

Although Xia Zuoyang doesn't know much about how to please a woman, as a basic etiquette, there is still some common sense to let others go first.

When Chu Qingyun was invited, her face blushed slightly, she turned slightly sideways towards Xia Zuoyang, and walked into the restaurant in front of him.

The two came to a small box, and Chu Qingyun sat down inside. Although they had met several times, they were still a little cautious when they were alone.

"Since it's agreed that I'll treat you today, you can order whatever you want."

Xia Zuoyang put the menu in front of Chu Qingyun. Most people in Haishi like spicy food, he knows this very well, so he chose this Sichuan restaurant, but he didn't know that Chu Qingyun didn't like spicy food. Not very interested.

Looking at the dishes covered in red oil on the menu, she frowned slightly, but when she raised her head again, she smiled at Xia Zuoyang.

"Actually, I'm not picky about what I eat, it's very casual, so it's better for you to order."

Pushing the menu back to Xia Zuoyang, Chu Qingyun said softly.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, it's alright."

"When the dishes are served, don't say that I haven't asked for your opinion."

"Will not."

Seeing that Chu Qingyun smiled sincerely, Jia Zuoyang stopped being too polite with her, and said to the waiter who was already waiting by the side: "Boiled fish, bloody blood, Sichuan spicy chicken heart, and another plate of frying Return to the pot of meat."

"Sir, what drink would you like?"

"Miss Chu?" Xia Zuoyang looked at Chu Qingyun.

"I'm driving, I can't drink, I'm really sorry."

"Then have another bottle of orange juice."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Looking at the leaving waiter, Xia Zuoyang made a cup of black tea for Chu Qingyun while holding the kettle, and asked casually, "Do you mind what I ordered?"

Chu Qingyun smiled and shook her head: "How come? I like to eat."

Xia Zuoyang's hand holding the kettle stopped abruptly.

This Chu Qingyun is the kind of woman from a very privileged family background. If the dishes she ordered were placed on ordinary people, they might think they were really good, but to those who usually live in luxury, they are a bit clichéd. up.

In fact, after thinking about it for a while, one can know that this woman must be just trying not to embarrass him.

Xia Zuoyang poured tea for Chu Qingyun, sat down opposite her, looked up at her seriously, and was a little puzzled in his heart, how could such a treacherous and cunning person like Chu Jianwu give birth to such a kind-hearted and A reasonable daughter?
He even asked himself such a question silently in his heart, if Chu Jianwu had nothing to do with her, would he fall in love with such a woman?
This brief silence made the scene a little awkward. From the first day she met this man, Chu Qingyun felt that he was not a very talkative personality. Although she was a little shy, she was very good at communicating with customers. She communicated, but still felt that she had the responsibility to break this oppressive atmosphere.

"Well, Mr. Chu, can I ask you a few questions?"

"go ahead."

"I'm a little curious about what kind of work you do now." As soon as she asked, Chu Qingyun suddenly felt that her question had gone too far. She had no right to ask about this personal privacy, and Xia Zuoyang had no obligation to answer her too much. over direct questions.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just curious. If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to answer me."

Since Xia Zuoyang was released from prison, he has not settled down. Whether it is to start a family or start a career, it has not appeared in his consideration options for the time being. Society no longer deals with people, but he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that suits him.

"No inconvenience, I don't have a job right now."

Xia Zuoyang spoke very calmly, as if she didn't care about her current situation at all, and after telling Chu Qingyun about this matter, she might cast a strange look at herself.

Although Chu Qingyun didn't look down on this man because he didn't have a career or even a job, but she really didn't expect that Xia Zuoyang could appear so calm when she returned to this question, as if she didn't care about her own opinion at all.

Chu Qingyun looked up at the calm and scary expression on Xia Zuoyang's face, not knowing what to say to make him feel better.

"Then Mr. Chu, do you have any plans? If there is no direction for a while due to special reasons, I can help you."

"help me?"

Xia Zuoyang suddenly showed a very weird smile when he heard Chu Qingyun's words: "How can you help me?"

Although Xia Zuoyang's slightly mysterious smile made Chu Qingyun feel uncomfortable, she still patiently said to him: "If you want to start a business and have problems with capital, you can tell me, I can't do it in terms of professional skills." I can't help you much, but if you need help with money and relationships, I can still provide some."

Xia Zuoyang would have been very moved if someone had said this to him when he was just in prison, but 15 years have passed, the oppressive environment in the prison and the various bullying she suffered have already given him such a deep understanding of human nature. The sunny and kind side is forgotten.

"No, I appreciate your kindness, but I have no plans in this regard right now."

"Oh, well..." Chu Qingyun looked disappointed.What she cared about was not Xia Zuoyang's mentality of not making progress and not caring about his own future, but that he didn't intend to accept her heart at all, which made her most sad.

"However, my words are valid for a long time. When you feel that you need my help, you know my phone number."

"Thank you." Xia Zuoyang was somewhat surprised by Chu Qingyun's enthusiasm. Although this was exactly the result he wanted in a certain sense, when he thought that he was using this kind and upright woman, he felt a little surprised. mean.

"It's all right. It's her life."

The trace of guilt in his heart made him a little uncomfortable, Xia Zuoyang found a suitable excuse for himself.

Subconsciously murmured something to himself, but Chu Qingyun overheard him: "Mr. Chu, what do you mean? I didn't understand."

Chu Qingyun's words brought back Xia Zuoyang's mind, he was so conscious that he accidentally blurted out what was in his heart.

"It's nothing, I said something along the way, it doesn't mean anything else. You don't have to worry about it."

"Oh."

After all, the two fell into silence again.

Fortunately, at this moment, the dishes they ordered had already been delivered.

The dishes overflowing with red oil exuded a tempting aroma, Xia Zuoyang picked up the chopsticks and said to Chu Qingyun, "Come on, let's eat."

Chu Qingyun picked up a piece of boiled fish and put it on the plate in front of her. Just as she picked it up, Xia Zuoyang suddenly asked, "By the way, you talked about your brother a few days ago, how is he doing recently?"

Xia Zuoyang asked so casually that no one could hear any other intentions.

"My brother?" Mentioning Chu Lingyun, Chu Qingyun put down the chopsticks in her hand, and sighed softly: "Oh."

"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly sigh?"

"I don't know how to tell you. Maybe it's my brother's bad luck recently. A few days ago, he was seriously injured and stayed in the hospital for a while. It's only been a few days, and he was beaten up by the bad guys again. The gun, but fortunately only injured the arm, or skin trauma, fortunately, nothing serious."

"Are you hurt again?"

As soon as Xia Zuoyang asked, he seemed to suddenly realize that he was a little too eager, and immediately switched back to a calm expression, and asked casually: "In what age, there are still people who casually use guns to hurt people. What's the situation? Tell me about it?"

Chu Qingyun did not suspect him, so she recounted in detail how after Xiaobei was abducted, Chu Lingyun searched for the murderer all the way until she was injured at the end.

Talking about how Chu Lingyun saved people, Xia Zuoyang wasn't surprised. Didn't he have this kind of character in his past?
Listening to the scene designed by Chu Qingyun, he flashed back to the time when he and Chu Lingyun acted bravely and spoke up for justice, but they were also full of passion. A successful person, and he becomes a prisoner of the years.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Qingyun was a little surprised by Xia Zuoyang's loss of focus again, and called out softly.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just heard about your brother and suddenly remembered my own past."

"It sounds like Mr. Chu is also a person with a story. Last time, I actually wanted to ask about you, but you didn't seem to want to mention your past, so let's let it go. gone."

"My story?" Xia Zuoyang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Everyone's life is a story in itself, it's just the difference between who is the audience, who is the supporting role, and who is the protagonist."

It has been a while since I knew Xia Zuoyang, and Chu Qingyun once heard such a sentence from his mouth with a sense of life, that feeling surprised her, but it seemed that she had a deeper understanding of him, and With this understanding, she found that her feeling for this man was even more special.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing. In your words, you are also a different man."
