Other colleagues agreed one after another, and someone suggested, "At that time, if there is any party in the department, just eat at the restaurant opened by Chen Xu."

 "Agreed, this level is not comparable to many big hotels."

 Chen Xu said with a smile, "Okay, I'll give you a discount then."

 Someone ridiculed, "I said Chen Xu, you are really mean. You have such a good craftsmanship, but you have been hiding it from others."

 Dai Zixin said, "That's right, if I knew earlier, I would go to your house every day to eat."

 Old Tang added quietly, "I have been working with him for two years, but I didn't even know he could cook."

 For a while, other colleagues verbally attacked him one after another.They didn't let him go until he promised to open the shop and would treat them to another meal.

 A meal took more than an hour to finish.

 Everyone left quickly, only Old Tang stayed behind to help him clean up the mess.

 Chen Xu washed the dishes inside, while Old Tang swept the floor outside.

 "Chen Xu, the trash can where the rubbish is dumped outside is..." Old Tang walked to the door with the trash shovel in his hand, looked up, couldn't help being stunned, and forgot what he said later.

 "Well, just put it there." Chen Xu replied, wondering why there was no sound, when he looked up, he was also stunned, and saw Luo Xiyun walking towards this side.

 "Luo, Mr. Luo." Old Tang was so surprised that he couldn't speak clearly.

 "Yeah." Luo Xiyun nodded towards him and walked towards the door.

 Chen Xu never expected that she would appear here. For a while, he didn't know what to say.

 "Well, I think I have something to do at home, so let's go first." Old Tang quickly dumped the rubbish into the trash can, and slipped away as he spoke.

 In the noodle restaurant, there were only the two of them left, and the noisy barbecue stall next to it suddenly became much quieter.Those male customers were all attracted by Luo Xiyun.Some looked over boldly, while others glanced over secretly.

 Luo Xiyun stood at the door, holding a white bag in his hand, looked it up a bit, and said, "I'm just here to take a look." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

 Only then did Chen Xu come to his senses, and blurted out, "It's already here, let's go after eating a bowl of noodles."

 She stopped, looked back at him, nodded, walked to the table that had just been cleaned, glanced at the stool, and sat down.

 Within a few minutes, Chen Xu came over with noodles, put them in front of her, and said, "This is my shop's signature fresh meat noodles." After speaking, he added, "I just took the chopsticks out of the disinfection cabinet. from."

 Luo Xiyun silently took the chopsticks, took a bite of the noodles, there seemed to be some slight changes in his eyes, and there was an obvious pause in the movements of his hands.

 "Why, it doesn't suit your taste?" Chen Xu asked seeing her like this.

 She shook her head and said, "It tastes good."

 Afterwards, she didn't speak any more, she ate a bowl of noodles slowly, put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue from her bag, wiped her mouth, stood up, and said, "I wish you a prosperous business."

 "I'll see you off." Chen Xu said, got up and pulled down the shutter of the noodle restaurant, and told the owner of the barbecue stall next door to take care of him.

 "Let's go."

 The two walked out of the alley together, with a distance of [-] centimeters between them.Luo Xiyun didn't speak, and Chen Xu didn't know what to say, so he walked to the intersection silently.

 A red Ferrari was parked by the side of the road, and he couldn't help asking, "Did you change the car?"

 "Yeah." Luo Xiyun walked to the car door.

 Looking at the red sports car, Chen Xu once again deeply felt the huge gap between the two that is invisible and intangible, but actually exists. This gap is so deep that it is daunting.

 Luo Xiyun opened the door and got into the car.

 A gust of cold wind blew, shaking Chen Xu's hair and stinging his cheeks, and after a while, he became numb again.

 "Why help me?" He opened his mouth, and when he spoke, he exhaled white mist, which was blown away by the wind immediately.

 Luo Xiyun had already grabbed the doorknob and was about to close the door. Hearing his question, she looked at the dashboard and said, "I just can't get used to it."

 "Isn't there a little bit of concern?"

 boom.

 The car door closed with a buzz, and the low-pitched engine roared, as if venting.

 Two seconds later, the car window suddenly opened a crack, the sound of the engine became quieter, and her voice came out, "Isn't it too late to ask now?"

 As soon as the words were finished, the red Ferrari rushed out and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

 Chen Xu looked at the direction in which the car disappeared, with a smile on his face.In the cold wind, there seemed to be a small flame in his heart, which was warm.

 PS: The book is close to 25 words as of now, and I feel that the style is fairly unified.

 I have always felt that reading a book is like falling in love with this book.When you fall in love at first sight (read it in one go) to get along with each other every day (chasing updates), you will gradually find that it has some shortcomings (slow rhythm, not fast enough updates), which is normal, who has no shortcomings?

 It is normal for your heart to gradually calm down and start to complain, quarrel, or even quarrel.Until one day, you find that you can't bear its shortcomings, and you threaten it, if you don't make changes, I will do something.However, if it has really changed as you said, is it still the book you liked at the beginning?

 Didn't you fall in love with it at the beginning because of its unique temperament?It may not be the prettiest, or the tallest, or the most stunning.But it must be unique. In the vast sea of ​​books, you can recognize it at a glance.Now, you want it to be like every other kitsch fan, sorry it can't.

 If you really can't bear it, you can try to put it aside and let the relationship cool down.You can leave it somewhere in your collection (the bookshelf), or you can forget about it.Wait until one day, you suddenly think of it, or meet again in the sea of ​​books.Maybe, it can continue to lead the way.

 If you're sick of it already.Then, you can tell it clearly, or you can leave silently.But please don't be mean.After all, it used to leave you with a good experience, didn't it?

 A peaceful breakup, everyone can leave good memories.

 Don't turn against each other, as that will leave harm to each other.

 If you do too much, maybe it will disappear into the vast sea of ​​books like this.Maybe a few years later, you dream back in the middle of the night, wanting to get back that unique book, but in the end, you can only leave regrets.

 Finally, I would like to thank those readers who have always liked this book. It is your likes that let me enjoy the joy of writing.

Chapter 122 Why is she here?

 On December 22 of the lunar calendar, when Chen Xu went out with his backpack on his back, the sky was cloudy and it looked like it was going to rain, so he turned back and took a folding umbrella.

 He was wearing a newly bought blue down jacket, and after he had more money on hand, he didn't want to wrong himself too much.

 He walked to the intersection, and after a while, a black Volkswagen stopped in front of him, the window was down, and the young driver asked in his native dialect, "Just a piece of luggage?"

 Being able to hear his hometown dialect here made Chen Xu feel very cordial. He smiled and said, "Yes, there is only one."

 The driver opened the trunk and asked him to put his luggage in.Then he got into the passenger seat.

 "There are three more people to pick up." The driver explained and started the car.

 Chen Xu's hometown is more than 400 kilometers away from the city. After the highway was opened two years ago, it only takes three or four hours to drive.He used to take the bus, but in the past two years, he has changed to take a ride, which is more convenient and the cost is similar.

 The other three passengers were all young girls, probably college students.Generally, people who work in the company do not have such an early holiday.

 A few girls were chatting in the back row. Chen Xu put on his earphones, listened to the music, and closed his eyes to rest.

 He suffered from motion sickness when he was a child, and would vomit every time he took a car.It got better after middle school.Although I don't feel dizzy now, there is one thing, I can't look at my phone or read a book, and I get very dizzy when I look at it.

 Therefore, when he was in the car, he either chatted with people, or closed his eyes and rested his mind.

 Everyone was safe and sound along the way, and arrived at their hometown very smoothly.

 This is a small county town. After the expressway was opened in the past two years, the development has accelerated. Once the ring road was opened, the urban area has expanded several times.I haven't been back for a year, and I feel that the whole thing has changed.

 It wasn't until the car stopped at the alley that Chen Xu found that extremely familiar feeling.

 He got out of the car, looked up, and at some point, the sky had become clear, the warm sun was shining down, and he was sweating a little.

 At this time, it was past twelve o'clock, and he carried the bag and walked into the alley.This area is full of old-fashioned residential areas, most of which are old buildings decades ago.

 His house was in the second building, and the door at the top of the stairs on the first floor was replaced with a new one. He opened it as soon as he stepped forward, and it was not locked.

 The narrow stairs gave people a sense of crampedness. Walking here, he regained his familiar memories.

 He walked to the top floor in one breath, that is, the fourth floor. The door was not closed, and he could hear the sound of TV commercials coming from inside.

 "mom."

 He yelled as soon as he entered the door, but he was stunned when he saw Chen Ziqi sitting on the old-fashioned wicker chair watching TV.

 "Surprise." Chen Ziqi jumped off the chair with a proud face.

 Chen Xu was surprised, "Why are you here?"

 "Why can't I be here?" Chen Ziqi said with a smile, stepped forward to take the backpack in his hand, and put it on the sofa.

 "Xiaoxu is back." In the kitchen, my mother heard the movement and came out with a spatula. Seeing him, she said, "Sit down and drink some water, take a rest, and you will have something to eat soon." After that, I went back to the kitchen.

 Chen Xu picked up his backpack and was about to go back to his room, but was stopped by Chen Ziqi, "I live in this room, you live in that room."

 Chen Xu wondered, "You can't live in your own big house, so you want to come to live in the old house?"

 "I want you to take care of it." Chen Ziqi pushed him to the next room.

 This house was an old house decades ago. It was allocated by his grandfather when he was working. It was originally two bedrooms and one living room, about [-] square meters. Later, a small room was separated from the living room and turned into three bedrooms.

 Chen Xu's parents lived in a large room, and now Chen Ziqi occupied another room, so he could only live in that small room.

 The room was really small, and there was only a one-meter-wide bed and a desk, and there was not even a chair in front of the desk.

 The room was obviously cleaned, and the sheets, pillows and quilts were all newly replaced.

 He hung the backpack on the wall and asked Chen Ziqi, "Why did you come back this year? Didn't you spend the New Year with your dad outside in previous years?"

 "Wasn't Lao Chen so busy that he couldn't see anyone? He lived alone outside, so he might as well go back to his hometown." Chen Ziqi complained.

 Chen Xu thinks about it too. Uncle San has opened three supermarket chains, which are quite large.As soon as the Chinese New Year comes, it is necessary to give gifts to the heads of the departments of industry and commerce, fire protection, food, etc., treat them to dinner, and spend time with their daughters.

 He said, "Then celebrate the New Year at my house this year."

 Chen Ziqi stared, "Of course, otherwise you still want to drive me away?"

 "Who dares to chase you away." Chen Xu tapped her on the forehead.

 Chen Ziqi covered her forehead, pouted her mouth, and after a while, said, "After dinner, accompany me to go shopping and buy clothes. I've been back for two days, and I'm bored at home every day. I'm so bored."

 "Row."

 Chen Xu agreed, walked to the door of the kitchen, looked at the busy mother, and asked, "Where's Dad, didn't you come back?"

 While cooking, my mother said, "The business in the shopping mall is better this year. Your dad can't leave. These days, he eats in the store at noon."

 Chen Xu knew that Dad's old classmate opened the mall, and wanted to find a trustworthy person to look after it, so he found Dad.Because the salary is relatively high, his father is very concerned about this job.

 As for my mother, she helps clean up in a nearby kindergarten. Now that the kindergarten is on holiday, she stays at home.

 Soon, my mother's dishes were fried.Chen Xu helped serve the dishes, and Chen Ziqi outside had already wiped the table.

 With one more person at the dinner table, the feeling is completely different.In the past, when his father was around, he didn't talk much. It was just the two mother and son chatting while eating. Now that Chen Ziqi interjected from time to time, the atmosphere became much warmer.

 After dinner, when Chen Xu was washing the dishes with his mother, his mother whispered to him, "In the past, others said that your third uncle is a very rebellious daughter, but I didn't expect her to be quite sensible. Your third uncle is very lucky."

 That's when you didn't see her rebel.

 Chen Xu thought it was funny, but he knew that his mother had always wanted to have a daughter before, so it was not surprising that she had a crush on the cute and sweet Chen Ziqi.

 After washing the dishes, Chen Xu told his mother and took Chen Ziqi out.

 In a small county, there are not many places to go shopping.Chen Xu is going to take her to the square area, where there are many clothing stores.

 After going downstairs, Chen Xu stopped a three-wheeled motorcycle and got on it after asking the price.

 Chen Ziqi talked about one thing, "When I heard my second aunt call yesterday, she said that she would arrange a blind date for you. What are you going to do?"

 "As far as the current situation of my family is concerned, no matter who hears it, isn't it running fast?" Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Only my mother still has fantasies. People nowadays are very realistic. Few women are willing to accompany You suffer."

 "So, if you want to look for it, look for someone who is young and innocent..."

 Chen Xu looked at her amusedly, "What kind of enmity do you have with your bestie, and you want to push her tirelessly into the pit of fire?"

 Chen Ziqi was startled, "This is the first time I've heard someone say that I'm a fire pit."

 After finishing speaking, some hated iron and steel, "Chen Xu, with your character, how can you get along in this society? You are not thick-skinned, nor dark-hearted. You are just a lamb. Sooner or later, you will be eaten by others, and you will regret it." Too late."

 Chen Xu tapped her on the forehead, "Where did you hear such a mess, it's time for your dad to take care of you."

 "Am I wrong?" Chen Ziqi looked at him unconvinced.

 Chen Xu wanted to say more, but the tricycle stopped, and the driver in front turned around, "Here we are."

 Chen Xu glared at her, paid the fare, and got off.

 Maybe it’s because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are so many people on the street, the place where the tricycle stops is a crossroad, the passing cars block the road, and some impatient drivers keep honking their horns .

 Chen Ziqi liked the atmosphere, and said happily, "It's quite lively."

 Chen Xu said, "There were not so many people before, let's go over there."

 "Chen Xu."

 At this moment, a surprise voice suddenly sounded from behind.

 This voice was so familiar, Chen Xu felt an electric current rush through his heart, turned his head suddenly, and a figure rushed over, hugging him immediately.
