long life

The author says:

When Zhou Jing arrived at the coffee shop, Yu Xiuxiu walked out of the counter with his coat in his arms.

Zhou Jing took the dessert box and told him to put on his coat, and asked casually, "Bring it back to school?"

"I won't take it back." Yu Xiu shook his head and smiled, "I bought it for you."

Zhou Jing looked at the dessert in his hand and couldn't help but smile, "I'm not a child."

"Whoever says you can't eat it if you're not a child." Yu Xiu didn't go to pick up the dessert box, but helped Zhou Jing carry the briefcase, "Take it as dessert after dinner, and it's okay to eat it once in a while."

Zhou Jing couldn't help but glanced at the counter, and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "These are worth more than one day's salary, so don't waste money for no reason."

"I knew you would say that." Yu Xiu leaned close to him and said softly, "These desserts don't actually cost money, the store manager gave them to me for free."

"Give it to you for free?" Zhou Jing was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Yu Xiu pointed to himself, with a rather serious expression, "This is the store manager's feedback that I am handsome enough to attract customers."

Zhou Jing laughed out loud, and said after a while, "Yes, Yu Xiuxiu is the most handsome."

After all, he looked down at the time on the phone, and said to Yu Xiu: "Let's go, it's getting late."

Zhou Jing clearly remembered that Yu Xiu, like himself, also liked fish, so when ordering a restaurant, he chose according to their preferences.

After tossing and choosing food recommendations for more than half an hour, I finally booked a grilled fish restaurant 15 minutes away from them by car.

Sometimes when the brain is focusing on one thing, it usually selectively ignores some other things.

For example - when Zhou Jing was considering a suitable restaurant, she perfectly ignored the rush hour.

In fact, Zhou Jing is indeed easy to ignore this matter. His apartment is very close to the company, and he usually walks for more than ten minutes to work, and he has almost never had the experience of going out for dinner.

The traffic jam lasted for nearly an hour, and by the time we reached our destination, it was completely dark.

The two walked into the restaurant, and Zhou Jing asked the front desk to check the meal code and chose a seat for two people to sit down.

Taking advantage of the gap before serving the dishes, Zhou Jing naturally had some questions to ask, and Yu Xiu naturally knew that he would ask, so he simply opened his mouth first, "Brother, do you want to ask, why did I suddenly come here to work?"

"Um……"

Zhou Jing nodded, and then realized that the dominance seemed to be upside down, so she asked again: "So why did you come to work in a coffee shop?"

"Because it has a good environment and high wages." Yu Xiu coughed lightly and teased, "Can I say that it is very close to my brother's company, so I feel inexplicably kind."

Zhou Jing pursed her lips and chuckled, emphasizing it again, "Don't be poor, I just want to ask, are you here to work because you don't have enough living expenses?"

Yu Xiu was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help laughing, "That's not true, it has nothing to do with my living expenses."

Zhou Jing nodded, and twirled her fingers along the rim of the cup, "I was thinking, if you encounter any difficulties in college, you can come to me at any time."

"If I don't encounter any difficulties, can I come to my brother?"

Zhou Jing seemed to be taken aback, looked at Yu Xiu and replied, "Of course you can, as long as you want to come, you can come to me anytime."

Yu Xiu leaned back, with a faint smile on his face.

"Yu Xiu." Zhou Jing called him and asked, "Although part-time work is not a bad thing, will it conflict with your credits?"

"No way." Yu Xiu tilted his head and said, "I have been receiving scholarships since my freshman year.

"I didn't expect you to be quite powerful." Zhou Jing smiled softly, feeling that Yu Xiu had already passed a worrying age, but the more he asked, the more he felt ashamed.

Yu Xiu propped his chin and looked at Zhou Jing. The orange light above his head made him very gentle. Only at this time, the clear spring in his heart would overflow.

When he told Su Xiwen, he would beam with joy and boldly admit how much he liked this person, but when he really faced Zhou Jing, he was like a music box with a broken clockwork, and all his thoughts were locked in the box.

"Grilled fish with cumin and sweet and sour pork loin, the rest will be ready later, gentlemen, please take your time." The waiter began to serve the two of them.

Yu Xiumo was silent for a while, and his eyes fell on the grilled fish.

Zhou Jing pushed the plate towards him and said, "Yu Xiu, how would you like to try the grilled fish? I asked other colleagues, and they said that the taste of this restaurant is good."

Yu Xiu picked up a piece of fish belly with chopsticks and put it on Zhou Jing's plate first.

"I remember that my brother's favorite food is fish."

Zhou Jing smiled and picked it up with chopsticks: "I remember you also liked fish when you were young."

Yu Xiu's hand holding the chopsticks hovered in the air for a while, lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Maybe...after eating the fish made by Auntie, I feel that other fish have lost that taste, so I seldom eat it again."

"However." Yu Xiu said again: "I still like to eat."

After chatting for a long time, the two left the restaurant together after eating.

Yu Xiu looked down at the time, as if he wanted to say something, but Zhou Jing asked softly from the side: "Yu Xiu, do you have any girlfriend now?"

Yu Xiu paused, then shook his head lightly: "No."

"Actually, at your age, it is necessary to get in touch with love." Zhou Jing patted his arm, "At my age, I feel more and more powerless."

Yu Xiu suddenly smiled and asked, "Brother, do you say that love is because of need, or because of liking?"

"Of course it's because I like it." Zhou Jing was a little amused, but didn't delve into it.

Yu Xiu looked at him, his eyes were like a moon, "I just want to have a stable and sustainable relationship with the person I like, and I don't want to waste it on casual talk."

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, when the online car-hailing driver called.

He answered the phone and told the driver their exact location. Within a minute, a taxi stopped in front of them.

After getting in the car, Zhou Jing said to the driver: "Please go to the dormitory area on Daxue Road first."

Yu Xiu suddenly poked his head over, "Brother, don't send me back."

"Where are you going if you don't go back to the dormitory?" Zhou Jing looked at the boy who was much taller than him, and saw that his eyes were shining brightly from the street lights through the car window.

"Of course I want to go back." Yu Xiu looked innocent, raised his phone and said, "But at this time, I have no time to go back in front of the dormitory's gate control."
