my passenger is sleepy

Si Xiaoqi walked out the door of the emergency room of Anhai Hospital with his head held high, and Qiao Xin followed behind, looking at his elder brother with admiration and admiration, and was about to sigh with emotion, "Big brother is good at drinking." As soon as his legs softened, he sat directly on the steps in front of the emergency room.

"Damn, I'm still a little dizzy!" Si Xiaoqi gasped and said, "Xiao Qiao, sit down for a while before leaving."

"Brother...you can't sit here and block the way." Qiao Xin went to drag Si Xiaoqi helplessly, "at least move somewhere, didn't you see the emergency passage written here?"

Si Xiaoqi was lazily dragged by Qiao Xin to a bench next to him, the two of them sat down, leaned back on the back of the chair, stretched their legs comfortably, and slumped there without any image.

After a while, the evening wind made Si Xiaoqi feel a little sleepy, and he suddenly heard Qiao Xin ask hesitantly, "Brother, are you serious?"

"What serious?" Si Xiaoqi was still a little dizzy.

"About Dr. Xiao," Qiao Xin held back this question for a long time, and finally found a chance to ask it. The two of them looked at Si Xiaoqi with twinkling eyes, eager to ask for an answer.

"What's 'serious' and what's 'not serious'?" Si Xiaoqi looked at the street lamp above his head, there was a group of flying insects flying around, it seemed chaotic but there was a certain pattern to follow.

"Do you want to play with him, or..."

"When did you see me 'playing'?" Si Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Obviously I'm serious every time."

"Your 'seriousness' has never been reliable!" Qiao Xin slapped her hands and said, "Look at you last time, with that painter, I reminded you so much, you are still so stupid..."

"Qiao Xin, you don't understand," Si Xiaoqi interrupted Qiao Xin's yelling, and said seriously, "people like us are different from you, we have to be more difficult...it's really too difficult. But just Because it's too difficult, so I can't let go of an opportunity, you know which cloud will rain, what if I copy it this time?"

"Then what if this cloud doesn't rain?"

"If it doesn't rain, just wait for the next piece." Si Xiaoqi said indifferently, "It's like buying a lottery ticket. Unless you don't want to get rich, you have to try your luck again and again."

"What if you don't win the lottery all your life?"

"Little Qiao Xin, can you wish your brother to have some treats?" Si Xiaoqi sat up and looked at Qiao Xin, cursing with a smile, "I'm telling you, if I don't win the prize, I will harm you, anyway, I can't be left alone Depressed."

"I'm telling you the truth, don't interrupt!" Qiao Xin asked with a straight face, "What if I don't win the lottery again this time?"

Si Xiaoqi leaned back in the chair again, looked at the mosquitoes flying randomly above his head, the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were actually flying not at all chaotically, quite regularly, just like his own heart.It was quite messy at the beginning, things about the bus company, about An Jie, about Xiao Chen, about the godmother... In short, the mess was really annoying. At that time, when I saw the bottle, I wanted to grab it and drink it , If you can't drink two sips, you will hang up, but it's good to hang up if you hang up, at least it won't be annoying.

But looking at it now, what's the mess?It's time to resign, to run away, to hold in the palm of your hand and lock it in your arms for the rest of your life, so naturally you can't let him slip away.

"You said you didn't win the prize..." Si Xiaoqi said slowly, "If I didn't win the prize, I can still present the prize."

"Give... an award?" Qiao Xin couldn't wrap his mind around it, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, he won't let me win the lottery, but I can let him win the lottery."

"You're going to stalk me, and you're so cheeky!"

"What's the matter?" Si Xiaoqi squinted at Qiao Xin complacently, and said shamelessly, "Is it because of him that you cling to him like this? Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

"Okay!" Qiao Xin gave a thumbs up, "You are good anywhere! Hurry up and I'll wrap you in pink wrapping paper and tie a big red bow to send to Dr. Xiao. This is considered a year-end bonus."

Si Xiaoqi patted Qiao Xin on the back of the head: "Let's go, don't be poor."

Qiao Xin stood up and followed Si Xiaoqi to walk home slowly. As he walked, he suddenly said, "Brother, Doctor Xiao didn't ask anything tonight."

"Ah?" Si Xiaoqi didn't understand, and turned to look at Qiao Xin suspiciously.

"He asked you if you drank too much, and told you to go home and eat something, and turn on the air conditioner so that it doesn't get too cold..." Qiao Xin looked at Si Xiaoqi seriously, with some kind of excitement in his eyes, "Doctor Xiao You have said so much, but he didn't ask you a word 'how is the business', 'can you make money', 'when will it open' and so on. I remember the painter in the past, what he was most interested in was These questions, my brother and I will go to work and he can ask the cost and net profit clearly."

"These things," Si Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Xiao Chen will never ask."

◇◇◇

Just because Xiao Chen didn't ask didn't mean he didn't care.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The summer temperature in Anhai City is not too high, but the climate is hot and humid, making it as uncomfortable as taking a sauna all day long.Xiao Chen drove his car to the 4S shop for maintenance, and cleaned the air conditioner, and then handed over the car keys to Si Xiaoqi one night.

"You are a businessman, or a transportation company, and you don't even have a car. It's too shabby."

Holding the car keys, Si Xiaoqi was not polite to Xiao Chen, but pulled him over and hugged him in his arms and said, "Thank you."

Si Xiaoqi drove very carefully. When he drove a BMW before, he didn't know what "cherishing" meant. There were scratches everywhere on the BMW body, and several mirrors were replaced.He also lent the car to others to drive, and several times he couldn't remember who he lent it to.But now when driving Xiao Chen's Xiaofeng Fan, it is almost like driving a Maybach, and the parking is only parked in the legal parking area. If he sees this, he must feel that his son is a jerk Finally sensible.

Qiao Xin once wanted to drive to the tax bureau, and the round trip took less than an hour, but Si Xiaoqi refused without even thinking about it.Qiao Xin screamed angrily, yelling: Back then, my grandfather drove your BMW like an Alto. How could this 10,000+ Fengfan be so precious to you?

Xiao Qi said lightly: "I am willing!"

Xiao Chen didn't know what stage Si Xiaoqi's business operation had reached, he just found that this man was coming home later and later, and going out earlier and earlier.Sometimes he thought, if he was a white-collar worker working from [-] to [-], he might not be able to see Si Xiaoqi all day long. Thinking about it this way, he felt that his working hours were not so cheating.

But he understands what he hears, and when he thinks about it, he knows that it must be rare to do business and start from scratch.How many certificates have to be obtained, how many affections have to be returned, and how many gifts have to be given!Not to mention renting a house, renting a car, and renting a place to run the route... Xiao Chen occasionally heard Si Xiaoqi come back and talk about it, and before he could say a few words, he felt that those things were a fantasy to him, almost like astrophysics. Learning is as difficult as understanding.Looking at Si Xiaoqi's tired face and sweat-soaked shirt, I always feel a little distressed.

This day Xiao Chen was resting, and suddenly woke up at seven o'clock in the morning. Before he opened his eyes, he subconsciously touched his side. There was a warm body on the other side of the bed—this person didn't go out today!Xiao Chen leaned against Si Xiaoqi, feeling that he could sleep for a few more hours.

When I opened my eyes again, it was almost 11 o'clock.Xiao Chen sat on the bed, and there was no one around him.He rubbed his eyes, wondering how his sleep quality was so good, a living person got up, washed, and went out without even realizing it.It seems that since the two lived together, "Insomnia" has gradually moved away, especially recently.

In fact, Si Xiaoqi is not at home very much these days. He is so busy that he scratches his head every day. To open a passenger transport company, he needs to apply for more than ten or twenty certificates. If everything goes well, it will take at least four weeks.Si Xiaoqi wanted to open the business in September. During this time, he was so busy that he almost used the house as a hotel. He came back every day just to take a shower, and then slept with Xiao Chen who was already asleep. The next day Go out and run for another day.

But even so, Xiao Chen still slept soundly.Every day after eating something outside and returning home, the house has a familiar atmosphere and feeling. He will watch TV, read a book, or surf the Internet for a while, and then take a shower and sleep.It is exactly the same as the living conditions in Qijiaqiao before, but it is more practical and satisfying.

Xiao Chen feels that his life is really a bit "cheap". He obviously has a comfortable room to live in, so he has to come and hide in the semi-basement, which is dark and humid, cramped and depressing, but he is willing to do so.Xiao Chen looked around, this small room was empty when he first came, but now it has gradually been filled with his own things.

On the east wall is a small shelf he bought from IKEA, on which are stacked his books, so stacked that the shelf's partitions are a little bent; beside the shelf is Si Xiaoqi's desk, which was originally only There will be a snack box that I don’t know how many days have passed, and now there are laptops, small desk lamps, and even a small tea set.When he put this set of tea sets on it, Si Xiaoqi smiled for a full 10 minutes at the teacup as big as a wine cup, and said, "Xiao Chen, this should be the highest level of pretense, right?"

"Don't drink it." Xiao Chen said so at the time, and then started to brew a pot of Tieguanyin. The rich aroma lingered in the small basement for a long time, making Si Xiaoqi so greedy, and finally begged pitifully: "Let me take a bite, please, just one."

"How can you drink such a pretentious thing?" Xiao Chen took a sip of tea slowly, the fragrance on his lips and teeth.

"Huh, you can taste it without pretending to be a master." Si Xiaoqi smirked and pushed Xiao Chen down on the bed, and kissed his mouth involuntarily. After sweeping around, he exited contentedly and said, "Well, this tea is really fragrant."

There is a small table next to the sofa, on which is a miniature stereo brought by Xiao Chen, he likes to listen to some music when he is free.Si Xiaoqi pursed his lips, and said in a tone: "Xiao Chen, can we not be so petty bourgeois? Do I have to buy you a can of chocolate? Didn't I say, 'On a rainy day, chocolate and music go together best'?"

Xiao Chen didn't say a word, but one day when he pushed Si Xiaoqi under him, he turned on the stereo with the remote control, and the rhythmic percussion music immediately flowed out.Si Xiaoqi will never forget the feeling of that time in his life, and since then he has fallen in love with Xiao Chen's little stereo.And Xiao Chen finally knew what it meant to "bound himself in a cocoon" and "lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot".

……

I am familiar with him, I have only lived in this small house for two short months, but I am already familiar with it as if I have lived in it for half a lifetime.In fact, in a sense, Xiao Chen still felt quite comfortable to live in.

However, I was a little worried.

Xiao Chen rubbed his face, bent his knees and sat on the bed to discern his mood carefully.He was a little worried and uneasy, he had this familiar feeling once before, he knew how wonderful it was, but it was because it was so wonderful, and when he lost it, he almost gave all his emotions for it.It was a kind of pain in which the soul was torn away, no flesh and blood could be seen, but the pain was so painful that one could not breathe.

When driving Zhao Kai away, Xiao Chen said to himself, "Everything will be fine, I will meet someone better."

Now, Si Xiaoqi is by his side, will he be the "better" one?This time, will my judgment be correct?

Just as Xiao Chen was wandering, the door opened, and Si Xiaoqi walked in carrying a fast food box in a plastic bag.

"Are you awake?" He closed the door with his hand back, "You can probably sleep, what time is it?"

"You're not going out today?" Xiao Chen scratched his hair, lifted the thin quilt and got off the bed, staggered into the bathroom to wash.

"I'm not going out today," Si Xiaoqi yelled outside, "I have a day off today and stay at home to concentrate on spending time with my wife."

The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped.

"I'll take a day off today and stay at home with my man." Si Xiaoqi changed his words very "intelligently and virtuously", and the sound of water came again.

When Xiao Chen came out wiping his hair, Si Xiaoqi had already filled the table with food.He broke off a pair of sanitary chopsticks and said to Xiao Chen, "Come and eat, I'm starving to death, I wanted to take you out to eat when you woke up, who knew you slept like a dead pig."

Xiao Chen automatically ignored the unsounding title of "dead pig", took the chopsticks and asked, "Aren't you very busy recently? Why are you with me? Why should you go? Don't wander around at home. I'm so busy." feel dizzy."

Si Xiaoqi was very satisfied with Xiao Chen saying the word "home" naturally.He said, "Xiao Chen, do you know what month it is?"

Xiao Chen ignored the question of the two hundred and five styles.

"August!" Si Xiaoqi said firmly, "Today is August NO.15, and my Anjie will open in less than a month."

Xiao Chen stopped his chopsticks and asked in surprise, "So fast?"

"Well," Si Xiaoqi nodded, "Actually, it's really going well. I thought it would be delayed until October, but I didn't expect it to open as planned."

"Congratulations!" Xiao Chen laughed, "This is a good thing, it's worth celebrating, and I'll treat you to dinner."

"Xiao Chen," Si Xiaoqi put his arms around Xiao Chen's shoulders, and said with a smile, "I want to meet Qiao Xin today, and we can discuss something by the way, so let's eat together."

"Why should I go? It's not appropriate for you to discuss the company's affairs."

"There's nothing inappropriate. Speaking of which, without your help, the company wouldn't be able to start."

"I don't understand those things either." Xiao Chen refused.To be honest, he didn't want to ask about Si Xiaoqi's business, let alone interfere.He was somewhat apprehensive, for he knew all too well how damaging "financial problems" could be to relationships.Most people in this world can "share hardships", but few can "share joys". He hopes to maintain the purest relationship between himself and Si Xiaoqi.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he decided that the farther away from Si Xiaoqi's company, the better.

"Xiao Chen," Si Xiaoqi pulled out the chopsticks from Xiao Chen's hand and threw them on the table, he said, "I want to take you there because there is another very important reason besides meeting Qiao Xin today."

"What?" Xiao Chen was a little strange, he rarely saw Si Xiaoqi look so serious.

"Today... is a bit special." Si Xiaoqi said slowly, "I want to take you to see someone."

"Who?" Xiao Chen asked, he saw something different in Si Xiaoqi's eyes, which he had both feared and longed for for a long time.He felt his heart beating violently. He couldn't say why, but he felt that this day and this person in front of him would completely turn his life upside down.
