Ceaseless

Shen Sui quickly opened the door and came in, calling Su Xi's name, with a smile on his face, "Hey, I'm looking for you."

Su Xi walked out, and was first scolded by the manager on duty before he noticed the commotion downstairs.Two black international students stood at the table with ugly faces, and spoke out long sentences in English quickly, with anger and embarrassment.

He followed the manager downstairs, his eyes fell on the hot pot side dishes that had been set on the table, and he could tell something was wrong at a glance.

The black international student still asked excitedly: "Whether this is your prank or not, it is a humiliation to our country's beliefs!"

The manager repeatedly expressed his apologies, and promised on the spot that he would hold the store employees accountable and give appropriate solutions and compensation plans.Then he turned his head and glared at Su Xi, "What's wrong with you?!"

Su Xi looked flat, "I didn't order this set meal for them."

The manager was dubious, and went to the back kitchen to call out the person who was in charge of arranging the menu.The other party didn't know why at first, but after understanding what happened, he belatedly remembered that he had left for a short period of time.If he confessed the truth, instead of being able to shirk his responsibility, he would easily end up being dereliction of duty.

Concealing the emotions in his eyes, he shook his head and said half-truthfully: "I just typed out the order according to the content of the order."

He opened the historical order record on the computer in front of everyone, and it was clearly written in black and white on the top, corresponding to the content of the set meal next to the table number, which was a meal for two with pork.

The manager turned to Su Xi and frowned in annoyance, "What else do you have to say?"

Su Xi raised his eyes, looked past the manager, and met Chen Sheng who was behind him with a happy expression, and said without any fluctuations in his tone, "I have nothing to say."

The manager nodded, with an indifferent expression, "Very well, there is a regulation in the store, and you will be fined two months' wages if you place a wrong order, do you have any objection?"

There was no trace of excitement or resentment on Su Xi's face, "Yes."

The manager waved his hand impatiently, "Since you can, go and apologize to those two guests now until they forgive you."

Su Xi walked back in silence.

In the empty aisle, two legs appeared at the end of sight.

A few steps away, Nie Jingze stood on the spot and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you refute?"

Su Xi stopped and looked at him, "What is the objection?"

"Anything is fine." The man raised his leg and walked towards him, "Explain that you didn't do it, or question the possibility of him tampering with the order content in the background." Nie Jingze stopped in front of him, his pupils were unfathomable, "Even, you You can also ask him to check the surveillance." He asked word by word, "The person who lied to me with a smooth tongue in front of me back then would not be able to say these things. So why don't you speak in front of him? To refute what he said?"

Su Xi was noncommittal, "People always change."

Nie Jingze parted the corners of his lips, showing disapproval, "So, do you want to tell me that in just two years, you have become so useless that you can only live in this hopeless place all day long and be pissed and scolded?"

Su Xi took a step back a little, and looked at the other person at the same level, "It has nothing to do with Mr. Nie how useless I am."

Nie Jingze's eyes turned cold, and his anger surged into his heart uncontrollably, "Why doesn't it matter?" He smiled instead of anger, "Of course, what you do now has nothing to do with me. But the relationship between you and me a few years ago has nothing to do with this life. It’s going to be imprinted in my life.”

He snorted coldly: "Let people know that my ex-boyfriend from college is now down and useless, and I can't bear it."

"You come here to eat hot pot, don't you just want to see how desolate and useless I am?" Su Xi paused slightly, "Now that you see it, don't you feel happy?"

Nie Jingze suddenly looked at him with deep eyes, clenched his hands that were by his sides, and then slowly loosened them.

Su Xi could see clearly, he knew what the other party looked like when he was provoked.

"But you don't look happy," he withdrew his gaze from the corner of his eyes, not wanting to make unnecessary delusions and guesses, "Why?"

He had guessed countless times why Nie Jingze was angry in front of him.When the other party's expression was tense and his eyes were angry, his eyes slammed into Nie Jingze's face inch by inch, and his mind actively diverged, following any clues to explore the reason for the other party's anger.

It's just that I guess wrong every time.

He guessed the reason so many times, but every time he guessed wrong.The answer is as simple as a carelessly misprinted question on the exam paper.

The reason Nie Jingze was angry was not because he forgot to bring an umbrella on a rainy day, nor was Nie Jingze angry because the lunch at noon was not tasty, it was only him.

Later, Su Xi stopped guessing.

Caught off guard by his question, Nie Jingze didn't answer.

"Isn't that good?" Su Xi lowered his eyes and did not wait for him to reply, "People who used to be arrogant and unreasonable based on their family background, now it's their turn to taste the taste and suffering of being oppressed by others , It can be regarded as paying the price for my previous bad behavior."

The depression in the last second finally found a vent in this second. Nie Jingze stepped forward and pushed him back against the wall, "What's the matter? It wasn't this family who suffered and suffered at your hands back then. Anyone in the hot pot restaurant, even if they have to pay the price, it shouldn't be in their hands." He heard himself talking nonsense, "Since you want to pay the price for your previous behavior, why don't you come to find me? Shall I taste what it's like to be taken care of?"

As soon as the words came out, both of them were slightly taken aback.

Nie Jingze was the first to react, and took a step back, frowning.Seemingly surprised by what he blurted out, before he could think about it, the manager on duty, who could vaguely hear the sound of arguing through the wall, stepped forward with an unsuspecting expression, "What are you still dawdling about here?!"

After he finished speaking, he saw clearly Nie Jingze who was also standing in the aisle, and his tone softened a lot: "This gentleman—"

Nie Jingze glanced sideways at him and interrupted him: "Turn on the surveillance."

The manager opened his eyes slightly, as if he didn't hear clearly, "What?"

"What happened just now," Nie Jingze said, "Commission the surveillance to investigate."

At the same time, Shen Sui, who was waiting for someone in the lobby but couldn't wait for a long time, also stepped forward, "What are you still doing here? Ningyuan and the others are still waiting for us to go back." At the end, he added to the manager, "Still check Why check? No need to check, I have seen it all."

Su Xi was slightly taken aback, he did not expect that Nie Jingze and Shen Sui would speak for him.

Shen Sui followed the manager to testify about related matters, but Nie Jingze did not follow.He stayed where he was, glanced at Su Xi without emotion, and said in a cold tone, "If people know that the ex-boyfriends I met in college were not only poor and useless, but also because they didn't learn English well when they were in college, now they are making such a fuss. When something ridiculous happens, I can’t bear it even more.”

Su Xi stood where he was, and didn't say anything to refute.

The other party dropped this sentence and quickly turned around to leave.Hearing the sound of Nie Jingze's footsteps fading away, he was fascinated by the other party's questioning.

Nie Jingze asked him why he neither explained nor resisted, and he half-truthfully half-falsely answered that he accepted the fate of karma.

The same question was also asked by Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing said to him: "You have been to college, although you dropped out of school, you have read more books than me, and you know more words than me, so you will not be reduced to my situation at all."

Su Xi didn't answer at that time.

What Zhong Qing said was right, and Nie Jingze's questioning was also unreasonable.It's just that he didn't have that kind of thought.He lives in a small rental house, works as a catering service, and lives on a meager salary. He has neither great ambitions nor lofty ideals in his heart.

He is alone, and his life has been like a day for two years.Su Xi didn't know what hope he had for his future life.
