detour

Huang Haitao's new house was ready several years ago.At that time, the bar happened to be making some money. Neither he nor Lao Mo had any ambitions in their careers, nor did they plan to expand their production.So the two of them came together to add up, and finally went to buy a house together like two wealthy landowners.Because two people bought the house together and bought the house in cash, the manager who sold the house tricked them into giving them both a discount.

A few years ago, housing prices were not as high as they are now. Houses of more than 100 square meters were bought after gnashing their teeth.After a few years, the original suburb has become the central location of the South District, with the golden signboard of a mature community, and the house price has already doubled several times.When Huang Haitao talked about the house, he always laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He said that he should tighten his belt and buy another set as a food reserve.To say which advantages of Huang Haitao the Zhao family is most satisfied with, having a house and land must be included.

Xu You supported the ladder, glanced at Zhao Xiaoqi who was passing the curtains to herself with her head up, and thought to herself, let's forget it, after all, I am also hers... Uh, best friend, it's not very kind to always slander her relatives.

"The ring on the far side should be hung on the fixed hook." Zhao Xiaoqi took a step back and continued to point fingers at Xu You, "If you pull the curtains and hula, the whole curtain will go to the middle."

Xu You hung the curtains for her for a long time. She was so tired that her back ached and her neck hurt. She couldn't help complaining, "Why didn't you ask your husband to hang the curtains? Didn't I feel like I was almost paralyzed from exhaustion?"

"He took two people to send over the drinks that will be used the day after tomorrow." Zhao Xiaoqi came over to support the ladder for him, "Zhuang Shaodong said to send them to his office in advance, so as not to have too many things to do tomorrow."

Xu You's hands trembled.

Zhao Xiaoqi said again: "Hey, Xu Zi, we won't say anything to you about this time. I have to thank Mr. Zhuang in the future. The sky garden is something I didn't even dare to think about. As a result, Mr. Zhuang The price list was printed out, and it was one-fifth lower than the price we asked at the Haicheng Hotel. I'm ashamed..."

Xu You couldn't help laughing, "He said he would give you the cost price, so naturally he won't make money from you. I guess the ingredients in Zhuang Shaodong's restaurant are more particular than those in Haicheng's restaurants, otherwise it can be cheaper."

Zhao Xiaoqi waved her hand, "It's not just that we don't earn our money. Think about it, he delayed the whole day's business, this loss is inevitable..."

Xu You hung up the curtains, and comforted her while climbing down the ladder carefully, "Isn't this an acquaintance? He treats you two as friends, so just treat him as a red envelope for you."

Zhao Xiaoqi was a little worried, "The allowance is too big, how can I pay it back in the future."

"Thinking too much." Xu You rubbed her head, "After the honeymoon, you invite him to your house for a meal, and you and Haitao cook the food yourself?"

Zhao Xiaoqi sighed, "I always feel that I took advantage of others..."

Xu You couldn't bear to see a woman who was going to wear a wedding dress look so sad, so she comforted her and said, "I'm not with you...well, best friend. He and I...well, he and I are also best friends, so we have a good relationship , just like the two of us. Don't think about it, I'll just give him a gift for you later."

Zhao Xiaoqi's head swished up, and she mercilessly exposed his nonsense, "Fart girlfriend, does he have a crush on you?!"

Xu You staggered, "Sister, do you want to be so sharp?"

Zhao Xiaoqi looked at him with bright eyes, "That's right? Did he like you?"

Xu You avoided her gaze and coughed uncomfortably, "What do you think is going on in your mind? I can't have a same-sex friend?"

Zhao Xiaoqi swept away the previous depression, looked up and down Xu You happily, and clicked her tongue.

Xu You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Hey, pay attention to your image!"

Zhao Xiaoqi stretched out her hand and pinched his chin, with a wicked smile on her face, "Since he's taken a fancy to you, and wants to court you by fawning over us, my natal family, then I don't have to be embarrassed, sister."

Xu You patted her paw off, and asked angrily, "The curtains are all hung up, is there any work left? If not, I'm going back to the company."

Zhao Xiaoqi laughed for a while before her face slowly returned to normal, "Hey, what do you think about this?"

Xu You's hand holding the ladder froze, "Where do you put the ladder?"

"I'll come, I'll come," Zhao Xiaoqi graciously took the folding ladder from her house, turned her head and asked with a flattering smile, "Xu Zi, don't be shy, I just care about you."

"I'm not embarrassed." Xu You sighed.How old is he? Is it embarrassing to be asked casually about his relationship?

"Then what do you think?" Zhao Xiaoqi insisted.

Xu You replied blankly, "I don't know either."

"What's this answer?" Zhao Xiaoqi was dissatisfied, and when she turned her face to see Xu You's dazed expression, she hurriedly changed her words to comfort him and said, "If you don't know, then you don't know, that thing... just let it be..."

However, Xu You felt that the words "let nature take its course" were the words that really made him unable to understand.What exactly is letting nature take its course?How do you go with the flow?He didn't want to pay attention to Zhuang Shaodong's kindness, so he kept pretending not to know, did this count as letting nature take its course?He didn't want to have any contact with the dealer's people, so simply cut off contact with Zhuang Shaodong, would it be considered natural?He couldn't figure it out, since he had already made the most suitable decision according to his heart, why did he have so many extra thoughts that were entangled?

Xu You asked her, "What is letting nature take its course?"

Zhao Xiaoqi replied as a matter of course: "Do whatever you think in your heart."

Xu You became even more at a loss.What do you think in your heart?

On the day of the wedding, it is said that the bride has to get up in the middle of the night to dress up, but I didn't expect to be the best man.Xu You got up before five o'clock, hurried to Huang Haitao's house, and drove him to the scheduled beauty salon to have his hair done.Zhao Xiaoqi arrived one step ahead of them, her face was covered with a thick layer of mask, and she was being manicured by several beauticians.

Huang Haitao was also held down by the beautician, washed and kneaded, and even painted a layer of green stuff on his face.After finally washing my face, I was pressed in front of the mirror to blow my hair back and forth, sprayed some fragrant things, and combed it smoothly.Xu You was not spared either, and was pressed on a chair to trim her hair.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced over, and sure enough, he saw that Huang Haitao had changed his face, and his forehead looked much whiter and tenderer than usual.

After dressing up, they go back to their respective homes, change their clothes, and then take the car sent by the wedding company to the bride's house to meet the bride.Xu You was the best man, so naturally he yawned and sat in the same car with the groom.When they rushed to the downstairs of Zhao's house at an auspicious time, they set off firecrackers in a noisy manner, and had to deal with the uproar from the bridesmaids. Finally, Huang Haitao squeezed out of the crowd and hugged Zhao Xiaoqi with a grin like a fool. After getting into the wedding car, they rushed across half of the island city to the Hanging Garden.

A colorful door has been erected at the main entrance of Haixin Building, and everyone is beaming.As soon as the newcomers in the floats came off, confetti flew all over the sky.

Amidst the din of laughter, Xu You saw Zhuang Shaodong at a glance.

Zhuang Shaodong was wearing a dark blue sweater, standing in an inconspicuous corner at the entrance and looking at him with a smile.

Xu You was pushed by the people behind him, regained his senses and quickly followed Huang Haitao, and was surrounded by a group of people into the hotel gate.Not only outside the hotel door, but even on the elevator door, big happy characters were posted, and there was joy everywhere.Xu You followed the newcomer into the elevator, turned around intentionally or unintentionally, and saw Zhuang Shaodong again.

Zhuang Shaodong was standing behind a fortune tree as tall as a person, holding the phone in his hand and talking.The same short hair, seems to be a little tanned, and the sharp-edged face looks deeper.It's just that there is a slight smile on the brow and eye corners, and it seems that it is much more friendly than before.

Zhuang Shaodong was talking on the phone, but his eyes seemed to have his own consciousness. He followed Xu You's line of sight and looked at him quietly across the crowd of moving heads.

Still the same person.But looking at it, it seems that something is different.

Xu You suddenly became confused, why did he only see this person when he was surrounded by clothes and temples?
