The joy of rebirth

The next day, Xue Yan woke up very early and went to have breakfast.

The morning air was cool and the sun had only risen a little.Xue Yan was in an indescribably good mood as he walked in the quiet neighborhood.

In a fairly familiar breakfast shop, Xue Yan casually found a table and sat down.

"What would you like to eat?" The waiter quickly came over with the menu.

"A rice porridge, two wallets. Oh, and a tea egg."

The breakfast was served, before Xue Yan started to eat, a person who made him stand there sat down opposite - Qi Yang.

Qi Yang walked into the store with the little fat boy in his arms, and when he was looking for a place to sit, he saw Xue Yan.

"You live in this neighborhood?"

"Well, I rented a house here." As he spoke, Xue Yan's eyes were fixed on the cat in the man's arms.

The cat also stared at Xue Yan, looking at it, it wanted to jump on the table and walk over.Qi Yang stretched out his hand to hold it down, and said to Xue Yan apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"...do you live in this neighborhood?"

"Well, yes." Qi Yang replied indifferently, and called the waiter to order a breakfast.

Xue Yan ate his meal silently, sneaking a glance at Qi Yang from time to time.

Qi Yang teased the little fat boy, pretending not to notice the kid's peeking.

A breakfast was spent in this somewhat strange atmosphere.During the period, the cat wanted to jump over the table several times, but was held down by Qi Yang, so he finally gave up, but the cat's round eyes still stared at Xue Yan motionlessly.

After breakfast, Qi Yang told him "don't be late for work" and left first.

Leaving Xue Yan watching the man's back, silently biting his lower lip.

On the new Monday, Xue Yan's part-time job officially began.Working five days a week, resting on Saturday and Sunday, going to work at 05:30 in the morning and leaving at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Xue Yan feels that this job is not bad.

"Xiao Xue, please make a cup of coffee and take it to the president. I have something urgent." Xue Yan passed by the tea room with the document given to him by Minister Li, and met Linda hurried over.

"...." After taking the coffee making set in Linda's hand, Xue Yan was silent as she saw Linda disappearing quickly through the door—isn't she worried that she can't make coffee at all?

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"President, your coffee." Put the coffee on the table, "And this is the document that Minister Li asked me to send."

Handing over the documents, Xue Yan was about to slip away.

"Wait, you go and print three copies of this document, send one to Secretary Li, and take the rest back."

"Yes." Well, strictly speaking, Xue Yan is not only working in the design department, but also making coffee and copying documents part-time.So, boss, can he ask for a raise...

It wasn't until after get off work that Qi Yang finally asked him a personal matter: "Should I go home directly after get off work?"

"Ah."

"Anyway, on the way, I'll take you."

"Uh, don't bother you, I'll just take the bus."

Qi Yang looked up at him, "Okay, but now the bus is crowded, so you should pay attention."

"...Oh." After Qi Yang's reminder, Xue Yan remembered that it was the rush hour for get off work, so this "oh" also had a hint of bravado.

Walking out of the president's office, I saw Linda, the secretary who was about to enter.

"Are you leaving?" Linda asked with a smile, she had a good impression of this child.

"Well, there may be fewer people if you go to catch the bus earlier." Xue Yan smiled wryly.

"Be careful on the road." Patting Xue Yan on the shoulder, Linda looked at Xue Yan with a lot of sympathy.

The bus in Songshi is quite convenient, provided that it is not in peak hours.

In order to encourage everyone to take the bus and reduce traffic congestion in some areas, the city's transportation department deliberately lowered the bus fare and then lowered it, until finally it was reduced to 5 cents for a half-city journey.Prices affect demand, and economics tells us that under the lure of such cheap bus fares, it is a historical necessity that the number of bus riders soars.

Buses during the rush hour on weekdays are not crowded by ordinary people.At that time, Xue Yan had already waited for three buses, and he didn't get on it before. It's not that he disliked the crowds. He really felt bad when he saw the ladies who were as quiet as Guanyin Bodhisattva just now, trying to squeeze up. Grabbing, so I always stand silently at the back, but I just can't squeeze in... ==

While looking at his watch, a dark silver BMW pulled up to the side of the road.The car window rolled down, it was Qi Yang.

"Let's go?" The tone was still light.

Xue Yan struggled for three seconds and decided to compromise with reality.

"……thanks."

"You're welcome."

Qi Yang pressed the radio station, and "musicradio" was playing the song "Mystery", which has been in the limelight recently.

Xue Yan looked at Qi Yang's back strangely. He didn't remember that this man would listen to the radio while driving. ... Sure enough, people can change?

"You are renting a house by yourself, so you can rest assured at home?" Qi Yang asked as if deliberately looking for a topic.

"Well," Xue Yan replied with a guilty conscience, "I'm pretty self-reliant."

In fact, what he told his family was that he would live in a classmate's house.

"By the way, that, do you have a cat?"

"...It was raised by my lover."

……

The atmosphere in the car became weird, and when the car finally arrived at the neighborhood, Xue Yan almost felt... relieved.

The sun was about to set, and the clouds on the horizon were like torn silk, quiet and lonely.

"Thank you and goodbye."

"You're welcome."

Watching Qi Yang drive away, Xue Yan found that he seemed to be in a bad mood in frustration. ... Treat yourself to some fruit.

Thinking of this, Xue Yan went to the big supermarket in the community.There are many fruits he likes, and he almost refuses no fruit, except for durian.

Seeing that today's apples and pineapples are very fresh, Xue Yan bought a small bag of apples and a whole pineapple.

The pineapple seller quickly removed the skin of the pineapple with a poke.Xue Yan remembered how easy it was for those who sold pineapples in the past, so he bought a tool for peeling the pineapple himself, but it took almost half an hour to clean a pineapple... Qi Yang was there at that time Watching him from the side, showing a speechless expression from time to time...

"Boy?"

Xue Yan came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and hurriedly reached out to take the pineapples and apples that had been put into plastic bags.

"how much is the total?"

"Seventeen." The man wiped his hands with a towel, "This pineapple is big enough."

"Hehe, it's quite big."

Xue Yan looked at the fruit in his hand again, and immediately felt much more comfortable. Well, as expected, for human beings—replenishment of fruit on time is a must.

After returning home, Xue Yan first cut the pineapple in half and put it in the refrigerator.The remaining half is cut into slices and soaked in salt water, so that it will not be particularly astringent when eaten.

After wiping his hands, Xue Yan called Xue Yan's mother.

"Mom, it's me."

"Xiaoyan? Can you do it over there?"

"Okay, it's working fine."

"Oh, how do you live there?"

"It's a good place to live, don't worry." Xue Yan held the phone in one hand while bringing the small pot of pineapple out of the kitchen.

"Oh, is the food okay? Don't be reluctant to spend money!"

"I know." Xue Yan smiled, "You and my dad pay attention to your health."

After chatting for a while, Xue Yan hung up the phone. It is actually very happy to have my mother worrying about her.Thinking of his real parents, Xue Yan smiled wryly. Is it a debt owed by his parents in his previous life to share his unfilial son... Do you want to visit them before school starts?Xue Yan secretly planned.

Using the remote control to turn on the TV to watch a movie, while eating a pineapple with a toothpick, Xue Yan smiled contentedly... Days like this are so beautiful~~~
