my passenger is sleepy

Xiao Chen had no problem with what to eat, so the two of them drove along the riverside, looking for a place with a quieter environment.

Xiao Chen smiled and said to Si Xiaoqi: "It's not an underground party joint, why do you have to go to a place with few people?"

"Uneducated," Si Xiaoqi snorted, "Underground party leaders only go to crowded places, so it's safe. Let's go to eat and chat for a while, you can chat at the vegetable market or night market."

Xiao Chen turned the steering wheel and said, "In this case, let me take you somewhere."

The car drove along the river to Bixiu Mountain. Bixiu Mountain is in the suburb of Anhai City. The mountain is not high but the scenery is really good.There is an old temple on the mountain. It used to be that the temple would provide fast food to believers on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Later, more and more people went there, so a small fasting hall was opened for business.The dishes they operate may not be very delicious, but the price is really not cheap.Of course, many people don't come here just for the food, but usually because of the quiet environment and excellent scenery here.

Xiao Chen drove the car up the winding mountain road, and said while driving: "I think the food in the Zhaitang is average, but the scenery is really amazing. You can see the sunset now."

"It's so expensive," Si Xiaoqi muttered, "I always thought that his family's vegetable prices had an extra zero printed before the decimal point."

"Look at the scenery," Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Don't you want to find a quiet place? It's okay, I'll treat you, I can't live in your house for nothing."

"It's not in vain," Si Xiaoqi reached out and wiped oil on Xiao Chen's face, and said after looking lewdly at Xiao Chen, "I still think I made money."

"Really?" Xiao Chen turned his head and smiled at him, "Don't say it too early, I'm afraid you will think that you can't lose money by stealing chickens in the future."

Si Xiaoqi lazily hummed, and said with a smile, "Then let's wait and see."

He leaned on the passenger seat and watched the surrounding scenery retreat rapidly.In fact, he is very familiar with this road, and used to come up every three to five times.Because at that time, there was a person who liked to go to the top of the mountain to paint, to paint the sunrise, to paint the sunset, to paint the spring, and to paint the winter snow.But later, before his villa was sold, the painter jumped into a big car with a clip on his back. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pack all the things that were given to him, and he didn't even leave a belt behind. .

Si Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Xiao Chen who was concentrating on driving. His eyes were obscured by sunglasses, but the corners of his lips were slightly pursed to show his seriousness. He held the steering wheel firmly with both hands and sat upright.This is a serious person, Si Xiaoqi likes serious people but doesn't like serious people, Xiao Chen is not serious, which really makes him happy.

After the car stopped, Xiao Chen asked Si Xiaoqi: "Is there any dish you like?"

"I've only eaten there two or three times. The dishes are whatever you want." Si Xiaoqi hopped out of the car and stretched, and when he looked up, he found a rather familiar person walking across from him.This is a waiter. In the past, every time Si Xiaoqi came to eat, he would reserve the small private room on the west side of the dining hall long in advance. Looking out from the window of the room, one could see the rushing river and the setting sun like blood.Even if the boss is as rough as Si Xiaoqi, he still thinks the scenery is really beautiful.This waiter is in charge of that small room, the young man is very clever, has a sweet mouth and a good face, and his memory is not bad.

"Hey, this gentleman..." The young man stood in front of Si Xiaoqi in a daze, as if he was desperately trying to remember where he had seen him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen locked the car, stood in front of Si Xiaoqi and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No," Si Xiaoqi shook his head resolutely, and led Xiao Chen to the lobby.The moment Xiao Chen turned around, he heard the young man mutter, "Isn't this...Mr. Si?"

Xiao Chen paused, the surname "Si" is not very common, and it is not common to grow up like him, the probability of admitting a mistake is not high.So he turned around again and asked, "You know him?"

The young man was a ghost, and when he saw Si Xiaoqi's face, he immediately said: "Is this gentleman surnamed Shi? I look familiar, as if I came to make an appointment for a private room yesterday."

Si Xiaoqi blinked innocently, expressing that he had no idea what the other party was talking about.

"Wrong person," Xiao Chen nodded politely, and then said to Si Xiaoqi, "Is there anyone else who looks like you? I think you are distinctive enough."

"You mean to say that I'm 'unique' in your heart?" Si Xiaoqi said with a smile, taking the opportunity of turning a corner to glance behind him, the young man had already walked towards the private room.Si Xiaoqi felt a little regretful when a big stone fell to the ground. He actually wanted to stand up and nodded pompously, and said to the little waiter, "Bring the menu, let's order first, and serve a pot of Biluochun , want top-notch."

He has said this before, and I don't know if he will have the opportunity to say it again in the future.

Xiao Chen took Si Xiaoqi to find a corner seat in the lobby, and ordered a few dishes at random. Si Xiaoqi listened to him report the menu, and estimated the price of the meal in his heart. It's over, he said: "Okay, just don't order so much for the two of you."

"His family doesn't have a lot of food, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"Cabbage tofu, you can't eat enough if you order it."

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes, and closed the menu with a snap: "You should go to Qiao Xin's to eat, make sure you will be full."

Si Xiaoqi raised his chin at the waiter to indicate that the order could be placed, and when the waiter left, he leaned over to Xiao Chen and said, "It's not impossible to eat at Xiao Qiao's, but... how can I introduce you, saying that you are me?" who?"

"friend?"

"You said that I brought such a handsome boyfriend there, can he not understand, what should I say if I ask?"

"Whatever you want," Xiao Chen shrugged, "You can do what you want, I don't care."

"Then... I said you are my wife?"

"Okay," Xiao Chen said cheerfully, "Wife is wife."

Si Xiaoqi looked at Xiao Chen suspiciously, and sat back slowly. He smacked his lips and said, "Forget it, I still remember that the best thing you learned in four years of medical school is acupuncture."

"Eight years!" Xiao Chen lightly raised his teacup, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Cut," Si Xiaoqi sneered, "It took eight years to teach you to be such a good hotel bathroom cleaner?"

"Yeah, that's it. Someone knelt and knelt and cried and begged me to live in his house. Why, did you change your mind?"

"That's right, I don't think it's enough to kneel down three times and knock down nine times. You have to throw yourself to the ground to be worthy of you." Si Xiaoqi changed into a smile, sweet enough to kill a bee, "Come, let's eat."

Xiao Chen was tense for a long time, but he didn't. If it wasn't for fear of scaring the other diners, he would have laughed out loud: "Si Xiaoqi, why are you so poor? When did you develop this habit of talkativeness? ?”

"In the past, when I was in a sports car, I would run for several days at a time. On the highway in the wilderness and mountains, people could be suffocated to death along the way, so I could only hang out with my companions to pass the time. So in our line of work, basically everyone is so poor... You'll know later." Si Xiaoqi poured Xiao Chen a cup of tea calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, his hand was so steady that the water fell into Xiao Chen's teacup without shaking.

"What did you do before?" Xiao Chen saw Si Xiaoqi's suddenly serious expression, put down his glass and sat upright, and then he realized that Si Xiaoqi really wanted to tell him something.

"I was a long-distance bus driver more than half a year ago," Si Xiaoqi said slowly, "It took about a week to drive each time, and then the transportation company closed down and I changed jobs."

"How did it close down?"

"There was a car accident, the company lost a lot of money to the client, the driver died, and the pension was quite a lot."

"This business is really risky, and it's too hard. It's better to drive a bus."

"Xiao Chen," Si Xiaoqi slowly turned the cup with one hand, and said after deliberation, "I want to resign."

"why?"

"I don't like that job," Si Xiaoqi said bluntly, "I want to do some business by myself."

Xiao Chen frowned, thought for a while and said, "If you really don't like it, then just resign. But doing business is quite difficult now, do you have any ideas?"

"I still want to do long-distance transportation. I am more familiar with that business, but this time I will be my own boss."

"Transportation? I don't know much about that industry. It seems that it is difficult to get a business license."

Si Xiaoqi nodded: "I know that, I will find a way, I just want to tell you about it today. If it goes well, I plan to resign next month, and I won't be able to pick you up in the future... But you can Sleep with you."

Xiao Chen leaned back, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and slowly showed a nice smile: "Si Xiaoqi, dare you really be a 'poor rich man'."

"What do you mean?" Si Xiaoqi asked, but the corners of his mouth were slowly raised, he knew that Xiao Chen would definitely understand, he is such a smart person.

"So I was surprised that the restaurant where you had morning tea last time was as familiar as the back kitchen of your own home. You didn't use a menu to order, and they all talked about incisions; also, the waiter just now clearly recognized you, you have to How many times do you have to come here to make such an impression?"

Si Xiaoqi chuckled: "I used to come here more often when we were discussing business."

"The bankrupt company you just mentioned...is your own?"

"Well," Si Xiaoqi nodded, "I lost a bit too much, so I filed for bankruptcy directly."

"Why do you only think about starting the company again now? You have been driving the bus for more than half a year." Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Don't most people regroup immediately.

"That time... it hurt a lot, so I have to take a breather." Si Xiaoqi couldn't help touching the cigarette in his pocket again, holding the cigarette box in his palm, only then remembered that it was a Zhaitang, sighed and put the cigarette box back in his pocket , he went on to say, "During that time, I was in a bad mood. I lost all my savings, and I was almost depressed. But I have to live, so I just found a job and started doing it first."

Xiao Chen nodded, and raised his teacup, "Then I wish Boss Si a wealth of wealth and prosperity from now on."

Si Xiaoqi raised his cup and touched him lightly, drank the tea in the cup and said with a smirk, "Xiao Chen, I will have some meat with you from now on."

"Then Siye," Xiao Chen said, twitching the corners of his mouth, "do you have the principal, do you have savings, do you have something to eat before the company starts to make a profit?"

Si Xiaoqi's joyful expression just now turned pale, and his two thick eyebrows that had been raised high also drooped.He put down his glass with a smirk: "Principal... I have some, rice... I can eat Xiao Qiao."

Xiao Chen crossed his fingers, put his elbows on the table and discussed calculatingly: "Si Xiaoqi, you don't need to eat Xiao Qiao's, I will support you."

Si Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"That's true," Xiao Chen glanced at his mouth, "I cleaned up your kennel yesterday, only to find that almost none of your jeans cost less than 1000 yuan. Dare to be all authentic, right?"

"I bought that before. Now you see I wear uniforms, and the company doesn't give me any money."

"There will be no more free clothes in the future. Comrade Si Xiaoqi, you must learn to be thrifty. There are only more than 100 pairs of jeans at street stalls."

"Xiao Chen," Si Xiaoqi said, "Maybe I can't even afford 100 yuan jeans in the future, so what should I do?"

"What can I do? Anyway, you are good at driving, so it's great to find a job as a driver. You are considered a skilled job, so you don't have to be afraid of starvation. It's a good thing to do something you like, but the risk of doing business is still quite high Yes, you can think it over for yourself.”

Si Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, "I've thought it over, although I'm not [-]% sure, but it's not impossible."

"Then I wish you success."

Si Xiaoqi showed his big white teeth in a smile, and he flirted with Xiao Chen: "Actually, I planned to hide it from you, and I will tell you when I get rich, so as to give you a surprise. Later, I thought that since we are together, There’s no way to hide this matter from you, and you shouldn’t be hiding it from you, so I’d better tell you first.”

Xiao Chen lowered his head and said "hmm", but his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.Si Xiaoqi didn't notice Xiao Chen's reaction at all, and he said excitedly: "It may be difficult at the beginning, but this is the way it is in this line of work, as long as this route is running, it will be fine. Xiao Chen, at first you Renren, in the future you can eat whatever you want, and play wherever you want..."

Xiao Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin, raised his head and interrupted Si Xiaoqi's imagination: "Si Xiaoqi, I don't understand this matter at all, you should actually find someone who knows how to discuss it."

"I know," Si Xiaoqi grabbed his chopsticks and began to eat, "Didn't I discuss with you how to start a company? I was discussing our future life with you. I'm busy, but it will get better." .”

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.He could hear that Si Xiaoqi always took himself into account when planning his future life.Xiao Chen was a little apprehensive and frightened, ever since he took over Si Xiaoqi's key, a hole in his psychological defense had been breached, and since then it has collapsed thousands of miles away.Si Xiaoqi was like a torrent, unknowingly involved himself in it and had no ability to resist.

He couldn't figure out who Si Xiaoqi thought of him. At the beginning, it seemed that he was just a friend with benefits, at most a friend with a close relationship.But in fact, Si Xiao gave him a completely different feeling.Xiao Chen often feels that Si Xiaoqi is calling himself his "lover", but the strange thing is that he doesn't mind it at all.

This is a feeling of "uncertainty", not sure about the future, and unable to confirm this person. Xiao Chen used to hate this "feeling out of control" the most... But now, he is full of expectations for the future for no reason.

◇◇◇

After the two of them finished their meal, they drove back to the city.Xiao Chen's heart was in a mess, and the situation frequently occurred while driving.Si Xiaoqi saw that he did not turn on the light for the fourth time, and couldn't bear the sound of horns behind him, so he couldn't help but drove Xiao Chen to the passenger seat, and sat in the driver's seat by himself.

Xiao Chen leaned on the car window and looked at the passing street scene outside the window, felt relieved, and suddenly asked a question that had been circling in his heart for a long time: "Si Xiaoqi, what is the relationship between us?"

"Ah?" Si Xiaoqi was taken aback by this question like a flying fairy, and for a long time did not understand what Xiao Chen's question meant.

"Forget it." Xiao Chen also felt that he was a little hypocritical.

"No, Xiao Chen, what do you mean?" Si Xiaoqi yelled while driving, "You just moved in yesterday and are going to regret it today?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "No, I'll just ask casually, don't mind."

"What do I care about? It's such a simple relationship between us," Si Xiaoqi calmly turned a corner, and said firmly, "It's a relationship that likes each other. I like you very much. Don't you like it?" Me? Impossible."

Xiao Chen thought about it and smiled.

Yes, what a simple relationship, a relationship of mutual "like".How can you sleep with him if you don’t like it, how can you live with him if you don’t like it, how can you care so much about what he says if you don’t like it?Like is the clearest and simplest emotion, without the responsibilities and obligations of "love", and without the worry and heart-wrenching pain of "love".Two people like each other, like each other's laughter and scolding, like each other's fiery passion, like each other's free and easy, like each other's seriousness and rigor.

"Like" is the safest emotion, and behind this "like", there are always two roads, one is from the end of the world, and the other is from the end of the world.It can be as sweet as honey when it is gluey, and it can be calm and calm when they part ways.

The distance between "like" and "love" is sometimes hundreds of millions of light-years away, but sometimes it is only a step away.Although Xiao Chen didn't know which direction his "like" would turn, it was worth looking forward to no matter what.He hadn't had this "sense of anticipation" for a long time. He originally thought that it would be difficult for him to have this sense of expectation again, but Si Xiaoqi, an extremely unstable chemical substance, finally succeeded in breaking this situation.

Xiao Chen was very happy, looking at the colorful neon lights, he smiled and said: "Tonight, let's prove how much you 'like' me."

Si Xiaoqi shook his hand, and the car drew a huge S shape, which caused the horns of the cars behind to be heard.

Xiao Chen laughed uncontrollably in the co-pilot.
