Chapter 33 A Bottle of Wishing Soda

After the goods were delivered, Lu Xiangyang felt a lot more relaxed.

When he got out of the elevator, Zhou Xi was still leaning against the car and making a phone call.

The man raised his hand to answer the phone with a focused and serious look.He is wearing a pure black woolen sweater today, the lines of his arms stretched out are long and neat, and his posture looks very elegant.

The ordinary style without any decorations can make him look so outstanding.Lu Xiangyang made up his mind about how this solid-color sweater would look on his body—it probably couldn't be picked up after being thrown into the crowd.

But Zhou Xi is different.

In most cases, Zhou Xi wore simple solid-colored clothes.When he opened his closet, there was a warm and clean texture rushing towards his face, with a soothing atmosphere, which made people unable to stop and indulge in it.This charming feeling is not limited to the clothes on his body, it is also reflected in his eyes and in the expression of his gestures.

He is so handsome.

Lu Xiangyang took a few more greedy glances, and waved at Zhou Xi from afar.

The man turned around and saw him, and hung up the phone after a few words.

"Finished?" Lu Xiangyang walked back and patted on the car door.

"Yeah." Zhou Xi opened the lock for him, "Go back?"

"Back and back, it's finally finished." Lu Xiangyang clapped his hands and heaved a sigh of relief, "I've thought about it, if I don't change the oven, I will have to prepare all the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past two days... one year will be busy For a while, stay up all night, otherwise the progress will not be able to catch up."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Xi calculated silently in his heart, "Isn't there still three days?"

"You don't know about that." Lu Xiangyang shook his head, "You can't eat mooncakes right away - the skin just baked is very hard, dry and astringent, and the taste is very bad. It needs to stand for a while, we It’s called returning oil in the industry. You have to wait until the oil and aroma of the stuffing core slowly penetrate into the crust, so that the best state and taste can be achieved.”

"Oh……"

Strange little knowledge added again.

Zhou Xi thought for a while: "How long will it take to return to oil?"

"2-3 days." Lu Xiangyang sat back in the car, "So the moon cakes that I want in three days, I have to start preparing now."

As soon as the car door was closed, Boss Lu's cell phone rang with the sound of coins entering his pocket: "Ji Alipay arrived - 6000 yuan."

The sound is pressed in the close-fitting pocket, not as clear and crisp as usual, and a bit muffled.

This can be regarded as the largest single income of Sunflower work in recent days.

But Lu Xiangyang didn't have the expected cheers. He clenched his fists tightly and then loosened them. He swiped back and forth on the payment interface a few times, finally heaved a sigh, and began to read the numbers in a low voice.

"Three eight eight one, five zero four four, nine three nine six..."

It so happened that Zhou Xi was naturally sensitive to numbers and had a good memory.This was clearly the bank account that had been transferred on the way here, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiangyang's hand.

Sure enough, the person transferred the money that had just arrived.

Zhou Xi knew better than anyone else that it was the money Lu Xiangyang had saved to replace the oven.

Right now, it was approaching the rush hour for getting off work, and the road started to be congested. Zhou Xi parked his car and waited for a red light, and his eyes just went back and forth between the two of them, clearly seeing it.

He didn't know when, he always wanted to catch Lu Xiangyang's every move.

Want to care, want to protect, but don't know where to start.

Not even a reason.

With his gentlemanly face, Zhou Xi casually picked up the wishing soda that Lu Xiangyang had drunk half of, and took a sip of it.

His mind was completely absent, and he didn't even feel that there was anything unusual.

Zhou Xi swallowed silently, and put back half a bottle of water: "What's going on at home...?"

Lu Xiangyang watched in astonishment as the other party drank the same bottle of soda with him as if nothing had happened, his lips were stained with water, shining thinly under the lit street lamp.

He lowered his head like a child, and the distance between the two seemed to be infinitely and quickly drawn closer by time.

When did the two get along so well.

Lu Xiangyang couldn't believe it, and secretly felt joy in his heart.In a small space, even the air carries the smell of each other.

"I'm sick." Lu Xiangyang said in a low voice, "I'm... old. It's been many years."

When it gets dark and the light on the face gradually weakens, the eyes will look extraordinarily bright.

Zhou Xi's eyes were cold and calm.He opened his mouth and finally hummed softly.

After all, it is an area that he has been unable to reach since he was a child.

From beginning to end, he was the one who had the least say.

He didn't even remember his parents' voices and smiles.

"It's okay." Lu Xiangyang muttered, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or Zhou Xi, "As long as there are no more big orders, we can still make it in time... If the oven can't be replaced, we won't accept the order."

He raised his head and smiled hard at Zhou Xi: "It would be nice to have a more relaxed Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zhou Xi originally wanted to comfort him with something, but finally put his hand down.

The traffic was moving slowly, and no one said a word.

Outside the window is the bustling traffic, and there seems to be something wrong with the intersection ahead. The congestion is getting worse, and the anxious and piercing horns of nearby vehicles can be heard.

The further they went, the more restless the traffic crowd became.

Zhou Xi watched the nearby drivers roll down their windows to look around, and the passers-by looked shocked, whispering and pointing.He made a rough guess in his heart based on experience.

Lu Xiangyang's expression gradually became a little uneasy: "What, what's wrong?"

"It should be a traffic accident." Zhou Xi carefully followed the traffic and moved forward for a while, vaguely seeing a blue and white warning line at the intersection, the siren of the traffic police and the ambulance interlaced, and the crowd sighed The ground spread out in all directions, revealing the situation in the field.

Two small cars collided with each other, and the hoods were deformed. There were cries for help and the commanding voices of the traffic police mixed together, creating chaos.

The distance was so close that one could even see bloody wounded being carried out of the car.

"——!" Lu Xiangyang gasped suddenly, his clenched fists were trembling, and he leaned back as if he was trying to hide something in a panic.

"Xiangyang?!" Zhou Xi grabbed his arm, and Lu Xiangyang's hand came over and grabbed him instinctively, his eyes were full of panic, like a child trying to survive from drowning.

"Blood……"

Lu Xiangyang grasped very hard, the excessive pressure caused blood to accumulate in one place, and although the hands of the two were holding each other tightly, they became colder and colder.

I'm afraid he remembered something.Zhou Xi thought keenly.

"Don't look." Zhou Xi interrupted him while steadying the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator, "Let's go right away."

Gu An mentioned a long time ago that there is a disease called post-traumatic stress disorder.

If a person witnesses or encounters an actual death involving himself or others, he will repeatedly and involuntarily bring up trauma-related situations or content in his memory or dreams, and may also have severe emotional reactions, and even feel that the traumatic event seems like Same thing happened again.

Gu An puffed out his cigarette butt and said, this thing is very troublesome, it depends on luck.

A single sentence carried a wisp of green smoke, and it just passed away lightly.

When getting out of the car, Zhou Xi looked at the mark on his wrist, feeling mixed feelings.He tugged on his cuffs and quietly hid the traces.

"You guys are back!" Xiaohua greeted from afar in front of the store, "Mr. Lu—Boss Wu is here to look for you. I've been waiting for you for a while."

"Boss Wu?" Lu Xiangyang almost didn't react, "Which Boss Wu?"

It's Wu Sen.

Wu Sen's clothes are often out of tune with them.Although Lu Xiangyang was dressed casually, he was well dressed.Not to mention Zhou Xi, a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder who wants to roll up his sleeves the same length, no matter when he sees him, he is an axisymmetric creature.

Only Wu Sen, either with a vest or a hole in his trousers, showed complicated tattoos and muscular muscles. Even if he put on a thin coat in the cold weather, the hood was deflated and tilted to one side.

There is a look of a cool guy and a tough guy all over his body.

Until now, Lu Xiangyang thought that Zhou Xi's ability to go to his house to drink coffee was a great miracle of life science in the universe.

"Brother Sen, why are you here?" Lu Xiangyang hurriedly poured a few cups of tea, "Tell me what you want, and I can send it to you."

Wu Sen buckled the table and made two crisp knocking sounds.He lazily said: "How can I do that, it's rare for me to come to you to place a big order."

"Eh? I can't take the big order." Lu Xiangyang shook his head while holding the water bottle, "Master's mooncake order will soon exceed the limit, so I'm too busy."

Zhou Xi sat down in a timely manner and pushed the newly poured tea towards Wu Sen.

The two exchanged glances quickly.

"I don't buy mooncakes." Wu Sen said, "I buy your food printer."

The author says:

I ate barbecue today-Korean barbecue, yes, the kind with sizzling pork belly.

The feeling of watching the meat roasting on the iron plate is still very wonderful, and there is a wonderful sense of decompression!Watching the charcoal fire bake the meat until it is golden brown and crispy, and then turn the meat over in one breath, ah... feel refreshed...

Crunchy and cool lettuce wrapped with shredded kimchi rolled with hot and juicy barbecue, it feels so good to chew with a big mouthful.With iced tea or cold beer, poached eggs and cheese corn grilled fireside—the joys of life are so simple indeed.

Eat well today too!
