It was past seven o'clock in the evening when the two of them left the hospital. Chen Zhouhe was a little sleepy, but he woke up quite a bit after being blown by the night wind.

"Brother, shall we have a meal together?" Xie Gui took the opportunity to step forward and ask.

Xie Gui was prepared to be rejected, after all, Chen Zhouhe is still very resistant to him now.But he believes that hard work pays off, as long as he is thick-skinned, Chen Zhouhe will be soft one day.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhouhe agreed!

"Did you decide on the location?" Chen Zhouhe thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and asked back, it happened that he also had something to talk to Xie Gui.

Xie Gui let out an ah, but didn't respond.

"Why, did I get it wrong? It's just a polite way to invite me to dinner?" Chen Zhouhe asked again.

"No, no," Xie Gui shook his head again and again, tentatively, "I won't go to my place, I'll make it for you?"

He used too much force, this time even Chen Zhouhe could feel his desire to show off.

Xie Gui really wanted Chen Zhouhe to know that he was really different from before.

"No need, just find a place nearby to make do with it." Chen Zhouhe said.

The two finally chose a noodle restaurant, which is just opposite the hospital, and they don't even need to drive.

There are not many people in this noodle restaurant, there are a few tables with people sitting, the boss is busy in the back kitchen, and the proprietress is yelling in front of the hall.

"Boss, two bowls of beef noodles, one bowl of slightly spicy without green onions and coriander, one bowl of heavy spicy with more vinegar." Xie Gui and the proprietress ordered.

Chen Zhouhe looked at him thoughtfully, found a seat and sat down.

"Brother, your taste hasn't changed, right?" Xie Gui asked knowingly, smiling brightly at Chen Zhouhe.

Chen Zhouhe hummed, and raised his hand to put it on the table.

"Don't do it yet." Xie Gui stopped him, then took out two paper towels and wiped the table in front of him carefully, making sure that there was no oil stain before turning to wipe her own table.

"The tables in the noodle shop are crowded with many people every day, and they often don't have time to clean them up, so they just clean up the dishes and wipe the table hastily." Xie Gui explained.

Chen Zhouhe thanked him.

Before the meal came up, they sat face to face, with the proprietress yelling for the next guest beside their ears.

"Brother, do you have something to say to me?" Seeing his strange expression, Xie Gui asked tentatively, "Is it... Grandma told you something?"

"What do you think grandma can say to me?" Chen Zhouhe asked without answering.

"Is it my business?"

Seeing his cautious look, Chen Zhouhe sighed inwardly.

He took two bottles of soy milk from the shelf next to him, handed one to Xie Gui, and said, "I came out for dinner with you today, and I also wanted to find a chance to chat with you...I admit, since I met you in the teahouse until now , I still have prejudices when we get along, today including last time, grandma talked to me about you, we still have a few months to get along, there are some things we should talk about."

Xie Gui clenched the bottle of soy milk, her fingertips turned white.

"Relax, I don't want to settle old debts with you," Chen Zhouhe handed him the bottle opener, "Just chat casually, huh?"

"... What are you talking about?"

"Talk about the past two years," Chen Zhouhe paused, "Frankly speaking, when I left two years ago, I didn't expect that we would see each other again."

Xie Gui lowered her eyes.

"I just listened to the conversation you had with my sister-in-law at the door of the ward. Are you talking about me?" Chen Zhouhe looked at him without evasiveness.

"……Yes."

Xie Gui originally thought that Chen Zhouhe would question his attitude towards talking to Xie Baozhen.

Chen Zhouhe just smiled, his eyes were clear - he actually knew everything, including Xie Baozhen's defense against him.

"I'm very pleased to see your growth and responsibility." Chen Zhouhe paused, "I spent a period of time with you two years ago, and I have been reflecting on it. Both my grandma and I hope that you can live the life you want. So we indulged a lot in your choices in some matters... I was thinking at that time, whether this way was wrong, and whether it was because of our connivance that you later became ignorant of the consequences in doing things. "

Xie Gui said with difficulty: "I'm sorry."

Chen Zhouhe waved his hands: "I don't mean that, I just want to say that you are indeed more calm and responsible than two years ago, although I don't need the kind of care you said, but you can have this My heart is enough to prove your change. I also admit that I am a layman. Two years is not enough to let me go, so I have been avoiding such topics since I saw you again. I have my own life now, and I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Thinking about the past—you should also know that it is not a good memory."

"Grandma actually looked for me before you came. We have been in touch for the past two years, but it was only limited to sending messages during the holidays. Grandma understands that I will not come back easily when I leave, so we don't care about each other. Excuse me, she didn't mention my matter to you... Before I saw you that day, I was still struggling. After I saw you, I made up my mind and planned to find a time to refuse grandma, and I didn't want to go through your muddy water again. I have no choice but to agree."

Xie Gui held the soy milk and didn't take a sip. Chen Zhouhe conservatively estimated that if it wasn't a glass bottle, he would have burst it.

"Leaving aside the reason why I agreed, but since I promised grandma, we will still get along for a few months, and communication is essential... Some things become more obvious the more you avoid talking about them, just like our Now getting along, I can also feel your strenuous effort, so in order for us to communicate efficiently and get things done early in the past few months, I think we need to have a good talk."

The noodles are served, slightly spicy without green onions and coriander.Chen Zhouhe thanked the proprietress, and pushed the face to Xie Gui.The hot air made his eyebrows and eyes not very clear, as if separated by fog and mountains.

Xie Gui stirred, but didn't dare to move his chopsticks.

"You eat first." Chen Zhouhe was a little amused, "I'm not your teacher, and I'm not here to lecture you and criticize you today. I'm just talking about the situation. Don't be nervous."

Xie Gui picked out a chopstick noodle and put it into her mouth tentatively, keeping her eyes on Chen Zhouhe's face.

"I heard from grandma that you encountered an avalanche on a business trip a year ago?" Chen Zhouhe asked him.

"...Yes." He probably knew what Lan Xiuzhi and Chen Zhouhe had said.

It was an outbound project of the company. During the field survey, an avalanche occurred, and some staff were trapped on the mountain and lost contact.

Xie Gui didn't go up the mountain that day because of altitude sickness, and when he heard the news, he was startled sober.

After the rescue team arrived, they needed someone to lead the way. Xie Gui was the only one who knew the route of the staff, so he offered to take them into the mountain to rescue people. The rescue team repeatedly confirmed to him the danger of this matter. learn.

While hanging up the phone and waiting for the rescue team to arrive, Xie Gui wrote a suicide note, which calmly distributed the property—he left all the assets under his name to Chen Zhouhe.

"The lawyer Lu you are looking for was single-handedly picked by grandma. Grandma knew about your suicide note within an hour after sending him." Chen Zhouhe explained quietly, "Grandma didn't want me to tell you, including her own. I also pretended not to know, but since we have this opportunity to talk openly and honestly today, I decided to tell you after thinking about it. You are no longer the child who needed me and grandma to cover everything. Grandma has been on the sick bed for two years. Her cognition of many things is still in the past, just like asking me to help you, she still feels from the bottom of her heart that your ability is not enough to please those old foxes on the board of directors."

"I checked the USB flash drive you gave me. You don't really need my help, do you?" Chen Zhouhe asked him.

Xie Gui raised her head abruptly.

He was still holding the chopsticks in his hands, his joints were turning white, and his heart felt restless as if he was stepping on the air.

"If I say yes, do you... want to leave?" Xie Gui suppressed the countless thoughts that flashed through his mind, and finally chose to be honest, "Brother, these two years... I miss you very much. "

Chen Zhouhe didn't speak, and seemed to be waiting for his next words.

Xie Gui was afraid that this would be the last time he would sit and talk with Chen Zhouhe, so he took a deep breath and put down his chopsticks.

"It's not just you, I also avoided what happened two years ago," Xie Gui's aggressiveness was restrained to the point that he couldn't see a trace, his brows softened, "I... regret it very much, I want to treat you not only because of me I am ashamed of you, but I like you... the feeling of being by my side as a family member."

Chen Zhouhe lowered his originally raised eyes.

"You know, I didn't have my parents to teach me how to behave in the world and how to treat people well. I used to think that things like feelings were too hypocritical, so I just kept it in my heart. By default, it's only natural for you to be kind to me. I didn't know until later , You have done enough." Xie Gui's eyes were slightly red, and she looked a little pitiful in the mist rising from her face, "I have fantasized about the scene where we meet again countless times in the past two years, and I have played many times. But I can't remember anything when I see you, I... I know you don't want to see me, but brother, can you give me a chance... I want to treat you well, not just because I'm sorry for you, I I want you to be happy, let you live like I used to because of me, be a little more silly and free, and don't need to think so much. I also want to... take care of you. "

Chen Zhouhe quietly listened to him.

He sighed and handed him a piece of paper.Xie Gui pressed it on his eyes, a little bit of moisture was absorbed by the tissue, and when he took it away, it was hard to see his gaffe.

"Xie Gui, you and I both know that broken mirrors can't be reunited. Many relationships are like between you and me. You can't go back to the past." Let go of the past, and I can't look at you the way Jiang Zhuye looked before his funeral..."

Xie Gui's eyes dimmed little by little.

"But I will do what I promised my grandma, not only to help you, but grandma's current situation is very bad, and my stay in the company is also a kind of comfort for her," Chen Zhouhe continued, "Everyone wants to give I have listened to your words, and thank you for your thoughtfulness, although I can no longer treat you as a close relative like before, but we can still be friends."

Xie Gui's puppy's eyes lit up.

"Yes, is that what I understand?" Xie Gui asked cautiously.

Chen Zhouhe didn't know what he meant, but in his opinion, putting aside past entanglements and looking at Xie Gui from the eyes of an ordinary friend, Xie Gui was no different from Xiao Zhao.

Chen Zhouhe's face finally came, he poured out some vinegar, and did not continue the topic: "Let's eat first, go back early, I have to go to work tomorrow."

The author has something to say:

Xiao Chen: It's really hard to eat your noodles. I can't eat a bite after a chapter.

This chapter is the first stop of Xiao Chen's emotional transformation. Let me explain a little bit. He didn't mean to forgive. Xie Gui must have been together for a few months, and then he felt that the way he and Xie Gui got along had to be changed after seeing Xie Gui's changes and maintaining his emotions in front of Xie Baozhen and Lan Xiuzhi.

Xiao Chen is a more rational person in dealing with problems. He feels that if he keeps refusing to get along with Xie Gui and Xie Gui comes to him again and again to try to discuss it, both of them will be very tired, and it will not be conducive to communication and work, so It's better to start with friends, finish things early and go back to the teahouse early.

Let me explain why it is a bit late today. The stupid author kept hearing my puppy barking downstairs during the online class this afternoon, and later found that the puppy was released by a few brats from the neighbor next door.Because in the countryside, I am afraid that others will steal the dog and that the puppy will hurt people. My family made a dog cage for the puppy, and the puppy is tied up in the dog cage. The puppy will definitely not be able to escape by itself.I heard it barking on the third floor, and when I went to see it after class, I found it was being dragged on the ground by those children on a leash.As a result, when I was in the last class in the afternoon, the puppy was taken out to play by them again. They didn’t grasp the leash properly, and the puppy ran away because of fear. I searched for two or three hours, and finally found it in a container (inside It seems to be a cable) I found it under it, and I had time to store the manuscript when I came back.It really... froze me to death.

Finally, a little ps, I feel that it should not be finished tomorrow, but it will definitely be finished in the first month. The small world where I saved the manuscript is almost over. I don’t want to keep the manuscript for everyone to see, but I want to save it to the end in one go. In the case of keeping the daily update, all will be released when the storage is completed.

Well, I wish the little cuties a happy day~
