love sinus late
Chapter 28
On the way to send Xu Zhen home, Gao Chi held the steering wheel, his eyes were fixed on the road ahead, but he noticed the flashing night scene on both sides from the corner of his eye.
In the early hours of the morning, the city is still brightly lit.The signal lights in the distance began to flash a rapid green light, Gao Chi slowed down, put on the handbrake, and looked out the window expressionlessly.
Deep blue sky, spacious streets, tall buildings. Everything in S city is familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Xu Zhen was sitting in the back seat playing with his mobile phone. When he looked up, he saw his cousin propping his face with one hand and resting the other on the steering wheel. The pitch black night shrouded his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
Xu Zhen followed his gaze and looked out. After seeing the street signs clearly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Brother, you drove the wrong way."
Gao Chi came back to his senses, "Did you drive the wrong car?"
Xu Zhen said, "Yes, you should have turned left at the previous intersection, but now it's a straight road, so you can't turn anymore."
Gao Chi's forehead jumped: "You help me set up a navigation, hurry up."
The red light ended, the green light came on, and their car stopped in place.
I haven't lived in S City for many years, and the road I remember is completely different from now.I don't know what came to mind, Gao Chi rubbed the center of his brows, glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, and seeing Xu Zhen still frantically setting up the navigation, he couldn't help urging: "Why is it so slow, thanks to the fact that there is no car behind, otherwise we will definitely be caught. scold."
"Don't urge me, the more you urge me, the slower you will be." Xu Zhen said while typing, "Besides, what are you afraid of, you have a traffic police friend, if you are scolded, you can ask your old classmate to issue a ticket, scare them."
Gao Chi patted the back of his head, "Do you know that it is illegal to abuse your power?"
Xu Zhen patted his head: "Why hit me? I haven't studied law, so of course I don't know."
After finally setting up the navigation and following the correct voice instructions, Gao Chi sent Xu Zhen home smoothly.
He put the man at the gate of the community, pressed the window of the passenger seat, and said to Xu Zhen, "Let me drive your car for a while, anyway, you don't have a driver's license now, so you can't drive it."
Xu Zhen scratched the car window and said, "Then don't tell my parents about my drunk driving."
Gao Chi smiled: "If I don't tell, how long can you keep it a secret?"
Xu Zhen said: "It's a day to be able to hide the truth!"
Gao Chi waved his hand and closed the window, agreeing.
The reason why he borrowed Xu Zhen's car to drive was because Gao Chi had just returned to China, and he hadn't had time to buy a car yet.
His home is far away from where he works, one east of the city and one west of the city.If you take the subway, you have to change it twice in the middle, at least two hours, and it takes four hours to go back and forth every day. The commuting time on the road is too long.
But driving is also very troublesome, not to mention the traffic jams in the morning and evening rush hour, the main reason is that the parking space at the office is tight and there is no place to park the car.If you stop on the side of the road, you will be issued a ticket. The fine is a small matter, but the deduction of points is a big matter. Now that the driver's license test is difficult, Gao Chi dare not take risks at will.
So in the past few days, Gao Chi has made plans to move.
He plans to buy a two-bedroom apartment on the west side of the city.This decision was not a temporary one. He also discussed it with his parents. In the future, whether it is work or starting a family, it will be more convenient to have a house of his own.
After returning home, Gao Chi sent a message to Li Han, asking him to have dinner together on weekends.
Li Han studied real estate management at university and worked in a real estate agency after graduation. When he learned that Gao Chi wanted to find a house, he readily agreed.
The two met at an izakaya.
This was the second time Li Han saw Gao Chi after he returned to China. The store was dimly lit, and as soon as he stepped through the door, Li Han could see his former deskmate and roommate at a glance.
Gao Chi sat in the corner of the store and beckoned to him.
Li Han had to sigh with emotion that after so many years, Gao Chi's temperament has not changed at all, and he is still the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
They ordered two bottles of soju and a few dishes, and began to chat with each other.
Gao Chi told Li Han about his situation, and Li Han said that he could take him on the market immediately. It happened that there was an owner in the community he was in charge of who wanted to sell a house, and the size of the house met Gao Chi's needs.Although it is a second-hand house, the decoration is very new.
The living room is oriented to the south, well ventilated, sunny and equipped with a parking space.
The only downside is that there are stray cats in the neighborhood.
When cats were mentioned, Gao Chi's face changed slightly, "Do they run around?"
Li Han smiled and said, "Of course I will. He has four legs, so it's just a display?"
Gao Chi took a sip of his wine, frowned and thought about it.Seeing this, Li Han added: "Don't worry, there is a special area for cats in the community, as long as you don't go there, you will be fine."
Gao Chi smiled: "Forget it, do you have another room in your hand?"
Li Han spread the blueprints he brought on the table and introduced them all.However, Gao Chi's favorite is still the first set, not only the location is good, but the price is also right.
Li Han naturally noticed it too, and he said: "Actually, this set is very popular. I have several clients who want to see it recently. If you can overcome the shadow of cats, I will keep it for you first."
Gao Chi put down the cup in his hand and said, "Well, take me to see it tomorrow, and I'll make a decision after watching it."
As Li Han said, the conditions of the house are good in all aspects, and Gao Chi already has the result in his heart after reading it.
The next step is to pay the deposit, pay the down payment, and sign the contract. After all the procedures are completed, it will be two months before the formal occupancy.
In order to celebrate moving to a new house, Gao Chi planned to invite Li Han to dinner. The date was set on the Mid-Autumn Festival. He also invited all his former high school roommates along the way. It was a small party of four.
The restaurant is selected in a well-known Cantonese restaurant with private rooms.
As soon as they met, Gao Chi poured a glass of wine first and drank it down.The other three looked at each other, puzzled.
Gao Chi wiped the corner of his mouth, and said: "I returned to China half a year ago, and my brothers came to pick me up at the airport. To be honest, I was really touched. I didn't expect that after leaving for so many years, there are still friends here who remember me."
After finishing speaking, he poured another glass of wine and said, "I left in a hurry back then, and I didn't say goodbye to you properly. It was my fault. I'm sorry."
Li Han hurriedly poured wine and clinked glasses with Gao Chi.He was still wearing a formal suit, and rushed over after work, before he had time to change.
Zhang Mingyang and Hou Junxin who were sitting opposite also stood up.The four of them started drinking on an empty stomach before they had eaten.
After clinking glasses and sitting down again, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
"Talk about something else." Hou Junxin said, "Brother Chi, is your work going well now? Is there anything you want to help?"
The three of them have stayed in City S to work hard after graduating from university. Although they haven't reached the point of making a fortune, they still have basic connections.
"Successful." Gao Chi said, "That law firm pays well, with high wages and many benefits, but they always have to work overtime on weekends."
Hou Junxin nodded: "That's okay, you should not return to the United States in the future, right?"
"If you don't come back, just stay here."
"Hey, you have to come to the class reunion next month. It's been so many years since you graduated, but you haven't attended a single one. I feel sorry for you."
"When is next month?"
"At the end of the month."
Gao Chi fell into thinking: "At the end of the month..."
Li Han said: "We will all go, you can come too."
Gao Chi nodded and agreed.
The meals were served one after another, and the four chatted about their lives over the years.
During the meal, Zhang Mingyang poured wine for Gao Chi. Gao Chi noticed that there was a diamond ring on his ring finger, shining with silver light. He couldn't help being a little surprised: "Brother Zhang, when did you get married?"
Zhang Mingyang touched the ring and smiled: "It was tied at the beginning of this year."
"Li Han and I are going to be best men." Hou Junxin said.
Hearing this, Gao Chi picked up the wine glass, and sincerely wished: "Congratulations." Then he looked at Hou Junxin and Li Han, and asked, "Where are you two, are you dating?"
"I have a girlfriend, we've been dating for three years, and I'm getting married." Hou Junxin pointed to Li Han, "He's still single."
"It's a single nobleman." Li Han corrected him.
Gao Chi smiled and said: "Coincidentally, I am also a single nobleman. I haven't been in love for many years."
Zhang Mingyang didn't believe it: "You have been in the United States for so many years and you haven't seen each other right?"
Gao Chi shook his head: "No."
Hou Junxin patted the table and said, "Impossible, you are so handsome and no one is chasing you?"
Gao Chi raised his eyebrows: "Of course someone is chasing me. There are yellow and white skins, but I don't want to talk about it."
Hou Junxin asked, "Why don't you want to talk about it?"
Gao Chi said: "I was busy with my studies when I was in school, and then I was busy with work after graduation. I don't have the time and energy to pick up girls."
Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Mingyang's cell phone rang on the opposite side. He looked down and smiled embarrassedly at Gao Chi: "It's my wife calling."
Gao Chi said: "Go ahead, my sister-in-law must have something to ask you."
So Zhang Mingyang went out to answer the phone, nodding and bowing, humming in a low voice, as if he was a strict wife.
Gao Chi couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Mingyang came back with an apologetic face.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, my daughter-in-law urged me to go home. Now she is pregnant and has a big temper, and she can't leave me for a moment, so I have to go first."
The three of them expressed their understanding one after another.
In fact, they were almost finished eating, and not long after Zhang Mingyang left, they also checked out and walked out of the restaurant.
Standing on the side of the road to take a taxi, the cool wind suddenly blew, and Li Han's drunkenness dissipated quite a bit.
He turned his head, looked at Gao Chi who was leaning on the telegraph pole with his eyes closed, and said something abruptly.
"Actually, you should say that the person you are sorry for is not us."
Gao Chi drank, and his reaction was a little slow.He slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What?"
"Forget it, it's nothing." Li Han waved his hand, and then muttered, "This is not something I should interfere with."
It was only after eight o'clock when I got home. Gao Chi took a shower first, sobered up for a while, and then made a phone call with his parents and grandma.
After hanging up the phone, he found that there was a red dot in the chat bar of WeChat.
Clicking in, it turned out to be a message from Zhao Siqi.
[Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 】
Very simple sentence, not even a single emoji.
Gao Chi was in a daze for a moment.
He almost forgot that he and Zhao Siqi had a brief encounter two months ago, and they added WeChat friends to each other.
Because they had never chatted, the news of their success in adding friends gradually sank to the bottom, and Gao Chi hadn't been in Zhao Siqi's circle of friends very much.
Thinking of this, he clicked on Zhao Siqi's profile picture to enter the other party's circle of friends.
Zhao Siqi really doesn't post much on Moments, there are only two in total, one is this year's Spring Festival, it is the four words "Happy Chinese New Year", and the picture is a wide beach.
The other one was just posted today, only text.Gao Chi looked at it for a few seconds and read out: "The moon is sixteen round on the fifteenth day, and good things always appear later."
Gao Chi clicked a thumbs up, then returned to the dialog box, and entered a polite and polite sentence:
[Thank you, I also wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 】
