After getting on with the enemy

Zhou Huiwen is going on a business trip to the next city this week, and will be leaving tomorrow. I suddenly remembered that I had to bring some local specialties for a friend there, but the shop that sells specialties does not accept orders through the phone line, nor does it accept phone reservations. You have to go to the store in person to line up. Zhou Huiwen is temporarily not free, and the secretary and assistant around him can't get away, so he can only ask for help.

The specialty store is relatively close to Kafa, in the alley next to it, and you can walk there, so Xu Ziqing came to Qiao Yan just now, thinking about walking a little longer, and going back and forth would not take time at all.

In fact, this kind of thing can be done by running errands, and there is no need to go through so much trouble, but the middle-aged and elderly people don’t trust this emerging purchasing method, and they always feel that it is better to find someone reliable than themselves, so they are not at ease.

Qiao Yan didn't care too much, she could understand Aunt Zhou's concerns, and didn't mind going out for a while.

The two families were neighbors, and it was right to take care of each other, not to mention that Zhou's mother and daughter took care of grandma and Xu Ziqing a lot.

Grandpa was in poor health in the first two years before he passed away, and he suffered from miscellaneous illnesses. At that time, Qiao Yan was still studying and could not take care of the family. Zhou Huiwen kindly helped with many major and minor matters, and even drove grandpa to the hospital in the middle of the night. Even the payment and so on are also handled together.

The feud between Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun is one thing, and the relationship between the two families is another. Qiao Yan clearly distinguishes it in his heart, and will not have a bad opinion of Zhou Huiwen because of that contradiction. Zhou Huiwen is generally respected by the elders of the family.

On the way out, Qiao Yan asked Xu Ziqing if he could hand over the things to Song Xinyu. Anyway, Song Xinyu was going back to Xijing compound at night, so he could take them back along the way.

Xu Ziqing refused, saying that if Song Xinyu suddenly had other plans after dinner, it would be more troublesome.

Sometimes the more you deal with the more irritated you are, and small things can cause big conflicts.

Yes, the truth is right.

Qiao Yan contacted Zhou Xiyun again and asked which time the other party was free, and he could send it to him at any time.

Probably because he was still working, Zhou Xiyun didn't reply to the message.

Qiao Yan was carrying something in one hand and pressed the screen with the other: "I have something to do at night, maybe I don't have time, can I give it to you in advance now?"

Zhou Xiyun still didn't return, and there was no movement for a long time.

Qiao Yan was impatient, and sent more than a dozen emoticon pictures across the screen, and kept asking, "Are you there? No one else?"

The person on the opposite side was steady and ignored him no matter what.

There is only a green chat box on the screen interface, and there is no white one.

Qiao Yan continued to behave wildly, not caring whether this person had work to do or not.

"Zhou Xiyun."

"Miss Zhou!"

"Message back, message back."

"I'm going to go out later, and I'll leave if I don't come back."

"I have a dinner appointment with someone tonight. I will eat for at least two hours. I don't have time to come back to find you halfway. If you don't pick up this stuff now, I won't be responsible for waiting alone later."

Then there was a series of picture bombardment, the annoying way was self-contained, comparable to broken thoughts.

After a long time, until Qiao Yan walked back to Kafa, Zhou Xiyun showed up belatedly and only replied with a punctuation.

Zhou Xiyun: "."

Keep it short and punchy, not a word more.

Qiao Yan moved her thumb quickly: "I have bought something, and I will send it to your company now."

"The other party is inputting..." is displayed on the screen interface.

Zhou Xiyun replied after a while: "No, I'll let you go first."

Qiao Yan: "?!"

Qiao Yan: "Look at the message above. I just sent you a message. I have something to do right away."

Zhou Xiyun replied in seconds: "I have it too."

Qiao Yan didn't want to talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Where are you?"

Zhou Xiyun didn't hide it: "On the street."

Zhou Xiyun: "Not at the company, going out on business."

Qiao Yan thought flexibly: "Then I'll send it to your office, and you can pick it up when you go back."

Zhou Xiyun has a lot of things to do: "I shouldn't go back to the company at night, and I may not be able to get it."

Qiao Yan frowned: "Then how long will it be before you come back?"

Zhou Xiyun: "I don't know."

Qiao Yan: "!!!"

Qiao Yan: "Then why can't I wait for you at night?"

Zhou Xiyun was as calm as water: "I will try my best to get there."

Qiao Yan was a little irritable: "No."

Zhou Xiyun: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Qiao Yan: "No, but if you don't show up, I can't wait forever."

Zhou Xiyun: "It shouldn't be too late."

Stabilizing his emotions, Qiao Yan trusted this one for now, thought about it for a while, and offered the next best thing: "I'll put it in the store, and you can pick it up after you're done?"

Zhou Xiyun replied: "What time does it close?"

Qiao Yan: "Around ten o'clock."

Zhou Xiyun: "I can't keep up."

Qiao Yan: "..."

Zhou Xiyun: "Time does not allow."

Big companies are just a bunch of broken rules, and it's not convenient anywhere.

Qiao Yan asked back, "When will you be back?"

Zhou Xiyun thought for a while, "After 10:30, no more than eleven o'clock."

This is really timely enough, not only in time for Kafa to close the door, but also after the meal is almost finished.

Qiao Yan typed a line and then deleted it, barely restraining his temper, only one sentence: "Forget it, I'll wait for you later."

Zhou Xiyun was quite blunt, and he was very good at pushing her nose and face. As soon as she let go, she sent an address and said, "Send it here."

It was a place of compromise, two or three kilometers away from here.

Qiao Yan looked at it, and replied stiffly and with a bottom line: "No."

Qiao Yan: "Come here by yourself, don't come and drag you down."

Zhou Xiyun: "No time."

Qiao Yan insisted: "Don't dream."

Zhou Xiyun casually sent a photo of the conference room to show that he was not lying.

"I didn't drive out, it's not convenient to take a taxi here."

Qiao Yan asked, "Where's your car?"

Zhou Xiyun: "It didn't come out."

Qiao Yan: "?"

Zhou Xiyun: "I don't have money to refuel."

Of course, he couldn't believe such coaxing words, but Qiao Yan still didn't want to be serious with the other party, just for Zhou Huiwen's sake.She hesitated briefly, but finally accepted.

"Find a conspicuous place and wait for me."

Zhou Xiyun was very cold: "Yes."

Qiao Yan said: "I'm not sure when I can go, so just wait slowly if it's late."

Zhou Xiyun: "It's up to you."

Too lazy to talk anymore, Qiao Yan ignored the man, put away the phone after the agreement was made, and entered the back door with the special products.

It's not dark yet, so I have to do a little more work to leave, and people are still needed in the store.She seized the time to go in, first put her things in the trunk of the car, then went upstairs to finish the rest of the order, and made a few more tidy steps before going out, and appeared in front of Song Xinyu with her face up and clean.

Song Xinyu didn't drive tonight either, and met the crowd who sat in Qiao Yan.

Song Xinyu obviously came out with a touch-up of makeup, and her hair was re-styled. She also put on a thin khaki windbreaker, which looked tall and beautiful.

The nights in May are cold, and the temperature is generally in the [-]s to [-]s. Long coats are a must.

Seeing Song Xinyu's well-dressed appearance, Qiao Yan felt a little awkward, feeling a little weird.

They were not like this when they were young, how could they be so formal, most of the time they just came out of their comfort, who would care about these little details.

Song Xinyu was sitting in the passenger seat, and when the door was closed, the outside wind was blowing here.Qiao Yan smelled the precious perfume on her body in an instant, and his nose itched uncontrollably, as if being swept by a weightless feather.

Qiao Yan straightened his back, his body was a little stiff for no reason.

Song Xinyu put on his seat belt by himself, turned to look at Qiao Yan, and asked softly, "Aren't you going to wear more at night?"

Qiao Yan started the car and said, "Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be very cold."

"It gets cold after nine o'clock," Song Xinyu said, with a soft tone. "There are many triangles here, and the wind is strong. Walking on the street blows against it."

Qiao Yan was so stubborn that he slipped too far. He didn't understand the deep meaning of what he said, so he opened his mouth and said, "It's nothing. I just have a meal and don't wander around."

Song Xinyu had a smile on his face, he had other plans, but he changed it now and didn't say much.

"Well, it's late after dinner, you can go back and rest early."

Qiao Yan said, "You have to work tomorrow, and I also need to watch the store."

Song Xinyu agreed, and took advantage of the opportunity to chat about plans for the next day and talk about some daily topics.

After the rush hour of traffic jams, they arrived at the barbecue restaurant in a short time.

There are many gourmet shops on this side, and it is the busiest time for business, and the barbecue restaurant needs to wait for half an hour.

After they parked, they split up. Song Xinyu went down to wait for a seat, while Qiao Yan looked for a parking space and came back later.

After Qiao Yan parked the car, he simply bought two cups of milk tea, thinking that it would not be good to sit outside and wait, it was so cool, it would be nice to have a few sips of warm milk tea.She didn't ask Song Xinyu what his preferences were, and ordered according to the usual practice, seven points of sugar, more pearls, and one more pudding.

"Warm your hands, drink some first." Qiao Yan inserted the milk tea into a straw and handed it over.

Song Xinyu reached out to take it, and said softly, "Thank you."

Qiao Yan didn't pay attention, she lowered her head and took a big gulp of the remaining glass, then finished the less than half of it casually.

Seeing this, Song Xinyu smiled, not knowing where he was being poked.

Maybe it was because he was not thirsty at the moment, Song Xinyu didn't drink milk tea, but just took a small sip.

Qiao Yan stood outside and waited for the shopkeeper to call for a seat, and after entering, he concentrated on cooking, without paying much attention to details from the beginning to the end.

The barbecue restaurant has real materials, worthy of the per capita price of more than 300, and there are no faults in all aspects.

Qiao Yan was satisfied with the service and taste here, and when eating, she thought that she could bring Ms. Xu and the others to try it next time.

Song Xinyu grilled a piece of meat and put it in Qiao Yan's bowl, and asked if he could give her a ride after eating.

Qiao Yan was soft-spoken, so he couldn't refuse, he hesitated for a while before answering: "Okay, no problem."

Song Xinyu said, "Go back to the compound."

Qiao Yan hummed and said "OK" manually.

There is plenty of milk tea and meat, and it only takes an hour for a meal.

Chat for a while after eating, digest food.

Qiao Yan checked the phone and told Xu Ziqing that she would go back tonight and asked her mother to leave the door behind. She didn't bring the house key, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get in when she got home.

The news on WeChat came quickly, but the person over there was not Xu Ziqing, but Zhou Xiyun, who was in the way.

Zhou Xiyun sent a screenshot of his mobile phone to show that the battery was running out.

He also added a suspicious note: "I didn't bring any cash."

The subtext is extremely easy to grasp——

There is no way, I have to rub against someone's car when I go back.
