Not as Dusty [Rebirth]

Xia Jiarong just wanted to have a birthday.He himself has been away for a long time, and he only waits to receive gifts for his birthday every year. He really doesn't like to engage in any ceremony, but this time, what he thought of was not simply a birthday, but an excuse to be alone with Chen Ai.

He used to think that the biggest obstacle to being with Chen Ai - the woman Chen Ai fell in love with because he didn't know it, was the biggest key.Seeing that Chen Ai had let go, he also felt that it would be a matter of course, right?But not at all, Chen Ai was so busy in the last semester of his senior year that he hung up even making a phone call in a few hasty sentences, let alone talking about feelings.

And during the Chinese New Year in winter, Xia Jiarong wanted to take Chen Ai back together. What if the two of them didn't seem to be together enough, and their parents thought he was acting?It can't really be said that he hasn't got it yet, so he just wanted to find an excuse to hang out with the two of them.

It's just that Chen Ai was really busy. Even though Xia Jiarong came together so softly, he couldn't spare a full time slot. Later, the two had to compromise with each other and said that they wanted to go out for dinner.

Xia Jiarong's company has already been set up. It rented a small office near the school. Currently, it only recruits a few young people. It has just created an outline. The resources used are mainly the previous resources and contacts. The main business is stocks and With the funds running, he is not in a hurry to develop and expand, so he cooks all the meals at home, and sometimes packs them into bento boxes for Chen Ai to eat.Now that they are going out for dinner, in Xia Jiarong's eyes, it is already considered a date.

They came out of Xia Jiarong's apartment, and the snack street of Jianghai University was nearby. It was a long street with various grades.Xia Jiarong originally wanted to go to a formal restaurant to order some dishes and bottles of wine, but he couldn't walk past the barbecue stand.

"Chen Ai, I want to eat barbecue, okay?"

"It's up to you, but this barbecue stall hasn't opened yet." Chen Ai looked at the stall owner who was still burning the stove, and said indifferently.

Because Xia Jiarong wanted to cunningly prolong their time for eating together, he dragged Chen Ai out at five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the food trucks in the night market were still coming here one after another, and this barbecue stall had just started. Arrange the ingredients, and the grill is on.

"It's okay, then wait a while, don't worry, didn't you say that you are fine at night, let's wait here first."

The more Xia Jiarong looked at the skewers on the food table, the more greedy he became.He loves to eat junk food, and he will never miss the snacks at the night market, but it is always too lonely to come here to eat alone. Now that he came here with Chen Ai, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a barbecue together.

"Would you feel a lot of fireworks when eating this?"

Xia Jiarong asked enthusiastically, pointing at something to signal him to look.Chen Ai followed his fingers and looked at the stove, but found that the scene was unexpectedly beautiful.

The stall owner just put the carbon on the fire, and used iron tongs to smooth out the carbon.After a while, smoke came out, but the carbon that had just started to burn burst out with high sparks and crackled.The sparks exploded very high and concentrated, and scattered in one direction under the breeze. If you ignore the source of the sparks and the background behind it, it is like a firework lit by a child during the Chinese New Year, although " The word "fire trees and silver flowers" is not appropriate here, but this is the first word that comes to mind in Chen Ai's mind.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Xia Jiarong asked again.He also felt very pleasantly surprised, but this surprise came more from the people who accompanied him.Xia Jiarong is actually a character that is easily moved, but every time he finds something new, there is no one around him to tell. Now, he is smiling happily because of this little surprise and the people around him, so he wants Chen Ai to work hard. go along with him.

"It's pretty." Chen Ai laughed.Both of them laughed foolishly for a while, and because of their "stupidity", they laughed again for a while.

The children of the owner of the barbecue stall came back from school, sat down on a small stool beside him, and did their homework by the bright yellow light in front of the stall. They said to change it another day, and the woman continued to say, forget it, it can be used anyway, and it will be very tiring to run again, and then they also smiled silly.

Xia Jiarong was thoughtful, and whispered to Chen Ai:

"Look at them, I think they're having a good time too."

"where?"

Chen Ai didn't notice those details, so Xia Jiarong told Chen Ai what he saw at a glance just now.

"Look at that woman, she is very finely dressed, and she is not reluctant to put on her clothes because of the business that is easy to get dusty. Her hair looks like it has just been permed; and the man, the apron on his body It must be washed every day, there is only a little yellow, and it is still very clean; besides, that child, he was very quiet when he was doing his homework, and he didn't look around at all."

"Is that happy?"

Chen Ai was not as simple as Xia Jiarong thought.When Chen Ai was wandering, he had seen how tiring it was to cook a barbecue. He often came home in the middle of the night, got up earlier than the sun, and prepared the ingredients there.In winter, my hands are so cold that I can’t wear gloves for the convenience of work. Just like the owner of this barbecue stall now, when I don’t move, I will rub my hands frequently. Visible frostbite marks.

"Well, I made a fuss over a molehill." Xia Jiarong said lazily, but still couldn't help but look at the couple. "I just think they are very happy, living together and understanding each other."

The sparks subsided slowly, the charcoal had already been burned, and the stall owner put the things that Chen Ai and Xia Jiarong had ordered before and grilled them. At this time, the night market hadn't opened yet, and there were only the two of them in this barbecue stall.

"Are your hands still cold?" Chen Ai asked Xia Jiarong, he saw that Xia Jiarong's hands were still wrapped in gloves, and his face was already pale from the cold from the sitting meditation.

"You are also stupid. You have to eat barbecue in this cold weather. Isn't it cold in the open air?"

"I just want to eat it. I haven't eaten it for a long time, and Xia Tian hates eating this too much."

Chen Ai resisted the urge to cover his hands for him, and beckoned the boss to serve hot water.The hot water is in a disposable plastic cup, which is just right for covering your hands.

"Why do you suddenly become so caring? However, it would be even better if you could cover my hands yourself."

As soon as the hot water was served, Xia Jiarong couldn't wait to take off his gloves and put his hands on the wall of the cup.The surrounding area of ​​the barbecue stand was covered with a thick army green windshield, but there was still a lot of smoke on one side, so it was still very cold.

The barbecues came up one after another. Xia Jiarong excitedly picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and put it in his mouth. As a result, his hot tongue stuck out and kept breathing. Chen Ai looked at him helplessly, wondering what he was doing. It's really worrying to be so frizzy all the time.

But Xia Jiarong ate very happily, he could be said to be wolfing down, and his body was warm from the barbecue. Although he knew that the ingredients were not very healthy, what he ate was just one word, "cool".

Later, the barbecue was eaten for two hours.The two chatted while eating, their mouths didn't stop, waiting for their stomachs to be full and their lips were red hot.

"Shall we come out to eat again next time?" Xia Jiarong was already eager to invite the next time.Chen Ai looked funny, but agreed.

He also felt quite comfortable getting along with Xia Jiarong like this.It's just normal everyday life, but it's not bad.Was this infected by Xia Jiarong, or did he change his mind?

Maybe, you can really try it with him?Chen Ai thought so in his heart, but Xia Jiarong didn't know it at all, otherwise he would definitely jump up happily, like a child until he was tired.

Now he is thinking about how to tell his parents that he wants to take Chen Ai back for the New Year.

Recently, Xia Jiarong has been tentatively talking to his family. Neither he nor his family members mentioned the reason for their previous indifference, and they skipped this section by coincidence, as if nothing happened.But Xia Jiarong was afraid that his family would think he had changed his mind, so he didn't deliberately soften his words. How arrogant he was before, he is still arrogant now.

As a result, the time passed in his hesitation. It was not until a week before the Chinese New Year that Xia Jiarong called his father and said that he would bring a friend home for the Chinese New Year.

Xia Jiarong's father's name is Xia Zhisheng, and he has something to do with being an official. His ancestors went to the officialdom, but he was not interested in those things, so he changed his job, but it was not too far away. He was doing business in the officialdom, but It's not a business with Xia Jiarong's mother.Both of them are very independent. Although they are very good at home, they act as if it doesn't matter when they go out, and they do their own things.

Xia Jiarong's mother was the tougher kind, but Xia Zhisheng's personality was not bad, but she was a bit soft in comparison, at least she wouldn't yell at Xia Jiarong directly.When he heard Xia Jiarong say this, he understood it almost instantly, and said in a very subtle tone:

"Jiarong, is this your 'that' friend?"

"Yes."

"Jiarong, you should know that your mother and I don't agree with your 'likes', right?"

"Oh, I see, then I won't go back."

"You—" Xia Zhi was angry and worried that his difficult son would not come back, so he could only compromise and say:

"Forget it, then you can bring it back, but let's talk first, I won't give him any good looks!"

"Okay, okay, I understand, then you tell my mother, I'm dead, bye!"

Xia Jiarong hurriedly hung up the phone, afraid that his father would let him talk to his mother.To be honest, he was really afraid of his mother.

Then, Xia Jiarong called to remind Chen Aide to prepare to follow him home.What to do to prepare?Be mentally prepared.Xia Jiarong expected to hear Chen Ai's nervous voice from the phone, but unfortunately Chen Ai let him down.

Chen Ai's mentality was very stable, and he didn't feel anything, except a little embarrassment.After hanging up the phone, he was thinking about what gift to bring. This is a university question, but his salary during the internship period is not bad, and he can afford to buy things to support the scene. Anyway, he can't embarrass his best friend. .
