Lofty future

Song Weiran was still in the store, saying that she was almost busy, and she could go home together after get off work when we got back.

As soon as the voice was played, Jasmine cheered: "Great, but I definitely don't want to cook today, can we go eat ramen and roast chicken?"

There is a new Japanese-style ramen shop recently opened in the community. The grilled chicken in it is a must. Jasmine can't forget it once she eats it once. She wants to eat ramen twice in three days, but in fact she only wants to eat two pieces of grilled chicken.

"You can act like a baby and beg your mother later, maybe it will be okay." I turned my head back and winked at her, and she immediately responded with an OK gesture.

Turning my face again, I found that Chi Xue was looking at me in the mirror.When they met him, they looked away again, staring at the road ahead, and said casually: "I really can't see it, this is the style you bring up your children."

"What kind is this?"

"A loving father often loses his sons."

"How do you talk?" I folded my arms back, and Jasmine's little hand was immediately placed in my palm. I held her and said proudly to Chixue, "We are an uncle and nephew teaming up, and we have everything we want!"

Chi Xue let out a "puchi" laugh, and a shallow dimple was sunken on the right side of her face facing me.Whenever he was happy, that dimple was extra vivid.Like now.

I don't know why I want to make him happy, maybe it's a little compensation for the previous silence, or maybe it's just a habit.

I can feel that the longer I spend with him, the easier it is for me to blur the past and the past, to do something... how to say, purely muscle memory.

Perhaps, the years of being dependent on him have left a physical imprint on my body.

Back near Chunfeng Buzui, I asked Chi Xue to find a place on the side of the road to drop us off, but he didn't care, and sent us directly to the door of the store.Looking across the street through the car window, you can see that the store is still quite lively.

"I won't go down anymore, come back next time and say hello to Song Weiran for me." He was in a happy mood, and the words he said were pleasant.

I nodded: "I must bring it, thank you today."

I got out of the car with Jasmine, and I let her go into the shop by herself, and I went to pick up the small e-Donkey from the back of Chi Xue's car.

Half a person got into the trunk of the car, and was carrying the small eDonkey on his arm, when he suddenly felt an unusual movement from the front door.

After taking off the small eDonkey, I went back to the driver's seat to say goodbye to Chi Xue.I knocked on the car window, and it took a while for the privacy glass to drop through the three-inch gap.

"Then I'll..." My voice stopped suddenly, the scene in the car shocked me, and I forgot what I said for a moment.

I don't know when there was a boy on the passenger seat, and when the window was lowered, he was pouting at Chi Xue and pouting for a kiss, he glanced at me outside the car before giving up and retreating.

The boy has a pair of impressive dark eyes, delicate and beautiful facial features, and a young face that is a bit childish. At a glance, it is impossible to tell whether he is an adult or not.

With just a glance, the arrogance and temper that he got from being pampered can be seen in his eyes.It's a difficult character.

Afraid of disturbing me, I hurriedly said goodbye to Chi Xue with a smile: "I've taken the car down, goodbye."

He raised his eyes slightly to look at me, pursed his lips into a line of silence, but seemed to have a lot to say.

I didn't stop, I took a small electric donkey and took two steps back to the side of the road, I didn't forget to wave my hand, and then turned the car to cross the road.

Song Weiran came out to welcome her, and looked across the street with a strange hesitation on her face: "Is that Chi Xue?"

I lowered my head and locked the car: "Well, yes."

"A guest ran out suddenly just now. I thought something happened. After chasing him, he disappeared. Did you see that?"

I stopped the movement of locking the car: "What does it look like?"

"The eyes are big and dark, the skin is very fair, and as tall as you, at first glance, it looks like a rich family and rich second generation. I sat in the store for almost two hours and didn't talk to anyone. I thought it was a fan... ..."

As she spoke, gossip flickered in her eyes, expecting me to reveal the news that was right in front of her eyes.

I thought for a while, and replied vaguely: "I got on the Chixue car, maybe they are friends."

In fact, I have already determined that he is the one who Chi Xue spent half a day on the phone on the beach in Zhongzhou.

"Oh——" Song Weiran listened, and the end of the sound was very long. She grabbed me who was about to enter the door, and leaned closer, with a mysterious tone.

"Did you know that there are many rumors about Chi Xue's relationship, and it is said that he can take all men and women. Tell me, could the one just now be his..."

I couldn't help but hesitate: "When did these rumors come out? Are there many?"

"It's too early, you're not interested in entertainment and gossip, and he's Chi Xue, I can't talk about it in front of you!"

"...Oh." I replied dumbly, not wanting to discuss this topic any more, I shook her hand and walked into the store.

She followed up after a while, muttering in a low voice: "Why hasn't he left yet? That car is so conspicuous. All fans will find him later."

I didn't answer, and I didn't look back.

When Song Weiran packed up his things and the three of us went out again, the street across the street was already empty.For some reason, a strange sense of loss suddenly appeared in my heart.

That night, I turned on Weibo when I got home, and found that the number of fans who retweeted and commented had doubled.As expected, the reason was indeed related to Chi Daxing.

It's the girl who pestered me to take pictures. She is actually a "big fan" with tens of thousands of fans. She posted a pilgrimage repo full of pictures and texts, which recorded her experiences and feelings in detail, and even the conversation with me Do not write down.

In the lively comment area, she also revealed my personal Weibo to others—probably found it through the official Weibo of Chunfengbuzui, and found out that I was the legendary boss in the breaking news post, "Chi Xue's amateur friend", Great surprise.

For a time, countless people poured into my online world.

I am running that Weibo account.

When Chunfengbuzui first opened, Song Weiran established an online image for it, Weibo, WeChat official account, Douban website...all established.

Including the personal social accounts of our two founders, there are also certain operational plans.She is painting and designing, and I am photography. We each maintain a certain frequency of "professional output".

The crowd of Chi Xue fans seemed to be attracted by the photos I took, and several of them were reposted in large numbers, and the messages in half a day were more than I received in a year.

This satisfies human vanity so much that I spent half the night reading those comments without knowing it.The amount is too large, I can't reply one by one, and finally can only express my thanks with a text Weibo.

There is no shortage of new messages in the private mailbox, and the one who sends the most is an old fan of mine, whose nickname is Big Orange and Little Sun.

Since I started posting photos, she often came to comment, and later occasionally sent private messages to praise, and I always responded politely.

She talked a lot that day, and she posted it many times.Said that I was surprised that I knew such a big star as Chi Xue, first carefully asked how I met, and then asked me not to answer.

In the last two messages, she was mildly jealous.

"I'm so glad that you were seen by so many people at once. It's obviously a very happy thing, but I can't seem to be completely happy. Will you reply to my comments and messages like this in the future? Will you still see it? "

I can't help being a little funny, it's just a moment of excitement, so I won't be able to see it in the future.

I replied to her as always: "Of course I can see it, why don't I reply to you now. Thank you for your support for so long. Without your encouragement, I might not have posted some photos. Go to bed early, good night."

A moment after the message was sent, she received a happy emoji back.

I quit the private message, and there were new retweets and comments, and I didn't need to read them to know that they were all the same words—it was really thanks to Chi Xue.

Fortunately, this was not a negative event and did not cause him any trouble.After thinking about it, I opened WeChat and sent him a thank you message.

I don't know if he didn't see it or didn't want to reply, this message has never received a reply from him.

After several days, Chi Xue didn't show up again, and the dialogue with him gradually fell to the back.He also rarely posts on Moments. After a long time, I wonder if he has deleted me.

Something warm, even boiling, slowly fell silent because he was no longer present.After half a month passed, I was basically sure that he would not come again.

As for the reason, I don't think I should ask more.

His return this time—if it can be called a "return"—is like a tide, which comes violently and recedes cleanly, leaving only a vast solitude on the beach.

But maybe it's because the troubles at hand are so overwhelming that I'm not in the mood to organize my days.

If he doesn't show up, I won't think about him anymore, and occasionally something flashes in my mind, and it disappears in a flash.

In late April, Boss Zheng took the initiative to contact me.

It didn't bring any hope, but I just apologized to me for the investment cooperation that had been negotiated but failed, explaining that it was because I suddenly rented a suitable single-family house in another location, and the funds were limited, so I had to reluctantly give up Spring Breeze.

I have already accepted this result, and it is a relief to hear him apologize personally. There is no complaint or unhappiness, and the atmosphere of the conversation is friendly.

At the beginning of the conversation, he almost gave me a few words of persuasion from the bottom of his heart.

"Little brother, you listen to me, you really can't do that. Even if you really don't want to be included in the catering, at least you have to make a serious brand. I saw that you became more famous after that star visited your restaurant. Hurry up and build a brand, organize more activities, invite people to give lectures, share, sign sales... Anyway, you can do whatever you want, and I am not willing to see such a beautiful store like yours close!"

Speaking of the latter, his tone became really urgent.Intentional or unintentional, you will know it as soon as you hear it.

I felt relieved at his refusal: "Okay, I will definitely keep this store alive. Boss Zheng has to come and see it."

"sure."

After hanging up the phone, I leaned over the window of Lanting and looked out, I couldn't help but sigh.

Now the late snow effect has passed, and the store has returned to its former desertedness.This kind of desertedness was very bearable in the past, but after experiencing such bustle and bustle once, it became hideous and anxious.

I was in a daze for a while, my heart was confused, and it was difficult to sort out the thoughts in my head.Song Weiran has been busy holding a joint art exhibition with his friends recently, and now he is out, and I have no one to discuss with.

Helpless, I had no choice but to pick up the camera and go out, intending to seek peace in photography.
