Finally, this unexpected episode was dealt with. The group was tired and hungry, so He Yu asked them if they wanted to have supper. For this proposal, the first person who raised his hand and cheered positively was Bai Jing, who had nothing to do with them.
"Okay, okay, it's good to eat porridge? There is a hotel on the Bund. The shark's fin and sea urchin porridge made is a must. How about eating there?"
He Yu turned to look at Xie Xue.
Xie Xue wiped her tears, and glanced at Bai Jing unhappily: "I want to eat barbecue, eat garbage street."
"Then eat garbage street."
Bai Jing: "Ah... this is too... well... "
With Xie Xue present, He Yu took Xie Qingcheng's face into consideration and asked him, "How about you?"
"I'm not going. I'll take this dog for an injection and an adoption check. If you want to adopt it, I'll bring it back to you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Huang who was sitting obediently at his feet.
Xiao Huang liked Xie Qingcheng very much, and circled around him happily, wagging his fluffy yellow tail: "Wow!"
.
After half an hour.
Huzhou night market stall.
"Boss, I want fifty strings of treasures in the palm of your hand, fifty strings of mutton skewers, ten strings of grilled rice cakes, ten strings of grilled shiitake mushrooms, a dozen grilled oysters, and five bottles of beer." Greeted familiarly.
"Is this kind of place very dirty... I never eat it." Bai Jing stretched out two fingers, wishing to use the tips of her nails to rummage the greasy menu.
Xie Xue rolled her eyes angrily: "Didn't you insist on getting in the car and following?"
"Oh, little sister, what are you doing so fierce? I'm hungry too." Bai Jing said, and the boss rudely placed her noble buttocks on the seat closest to He Yu, "It's just trouble. You order something lighter, it's too late, I'm afraid I'll gain weight."
Xie Xue glared at her, slapped the table viciously, and raised her voice: "Boss, cut ten more fucking rabbit heads!"
Bai Jing: "You!"
He Yu said lightly: "Then you can come with twenty, I want to eat too."
Bai Jing: "..."
The job of grilling skewers is simple and easy, but it is also difficult to say it is difficult. When the boss flipped his arm, the bamboo skewer shook, and the cartilage that was roasted until golden brown and oily dripped with excess fat. When the ghee fell into the charcoal, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred. come up. The boss hidden in the blue smoke is like a hidden peerless master, his nose is slightly moved, and he can catch the subtle delicious factors from the smoke just by smelling it, and he knows that it is time to leave the fire.
So put it on the table, serve it while it's still hot, and the heat of each skewer is just right. These soothing skewers seem to have become the sons of the owner of the food industry. Disgusting firewood, the coke is crispy, and the fragrance melts in the mouth like snowflakes when you take a bite.
Xie Xue, a regular customer of this shop, ordered a table of skewers, almost crushing the small table covered with a thin plastic tablecloth. She was swaying the clouds over this delicious table, but Bai Jing was still holding it, doing her best to perform the quintessential trick in Sichuan Opera—face change.
"Young Master He isn't from Alahuzhou?" Bai Jing blinked and made semi-permanent eyelashes curled with pearly lip gloss, "It doesn't sound like the accent."
He Yu asked with a smile, "Miss Bai, have you checked your hukou?"
"Oh, no, no, no." Bai Jing waved her hand hurriedly and stroked her hair embarrassingly, "Well, I went to graduate school in Yan City before, from the Department of Economics and Business Management in Yan City. It's quite standard to hear your Mandarin, I was wondering if it could be a northerner."
"Then you're a top student." He Yu smiled politely, and picked out the head of a dead rabbit with staring eyes in the baking pan.
Bai Jing didn't hear it, and continued to babble: "Yeah, so I work at the counter mainly to gain experience, and I will be promoted to management in the future. I can gain insights in the front line. I have served many stars and bosses. The first few I also met an actor, the most recent prime TV-"
With a click from He Yu, Sensen's white teeth shattered the rabbit's skull.
Bai Jing choked, as if all the unfinished words were bitten by He Yu between her throat through the air, she instantly felt a little pain in her neck.
He Yu smiled, Bai Jing only discovered that he had tiger teeth at this moment, but they were not too obvious. When he wanted to smirk, they would only show a little from under his thin lips. He Yu ate the rabbit brain slowly: "Miss Bai said while eating, since you came with us, don't get hungry. Don't you like rabbit heads?"
Bai Jing hurriedly waved her hand: "I, I usually eat less, just drink a few sips of Coke and I'm full, no need..."
"Really?" He Yu threw the broken rabbit bone on the plate and smiled, "That's such a pity."
After three rounds of drinking, although Bai Jing restrained her words and deeds a bit, she couldn't resist the temptation in the end and wanted to go to Kaga to WeChat. Seeing this, Xie Xue finally couldn't help it. This woman was on a blind date with her eldest brother. What is Jiaheyu doing on WeChat? It's too disrespectful!
So he said angrily:
"Sorry, he can't send you WeChat."
"Why, are you his girlfriend?"
"I-I'm not!" Xie Xuen said angrily, and began to make up, "But He Yu has a girlfriend, a big beauty, with a very cruel personality, very jealous, several years older than him, if he is strict, he will not be obedient. Slap him and ask me to watch him be honest when I go out. Isn't that right, He Yu?!"
Unexpectedly, He Yu said indifferently: "What you said is a military spy."
Grass!
Xie Xue was so angry that she stepped on him under the table.
He Yu: "I don't have such a girlfriend, and I don't like big beauties who are jealous and sexy."
damn it!
Xie Xue stepped on it harder, and found that her feet hurt a little. She looked down and saw that she was stepping on the bottom frame of the table.
He Yu smiled, calmly retracted the long legs that were leaning against the bottom frame of the table, handed the skewers sprinkled with pepper powder to Xie Xue's plate, then turned his face and said to Bai Jing, who was full of expectations: "However, miss, I do have someone I like. So please forgive me for not adding girls' WeChat at will."
Bai Jing couldn't hide her loss: "Can't we just be ordinary friends?"
This time, He Yu didn't even have a perfunctory smile. His approachable youth seemed to disappear from him in an instant. He glanced at the other side quietly.
"Thank you. But I don't think we're one world."
After saying this sentence, it is equivalent to invisibly removing the other party's steps, and the atmosphere is stiff for a while.
He Yu took out a tissue, wiped off the oil stains left by the stick with one finger after another, then threw the tissue away, coldly passing the wonderful-looking lady, and calmly said, "I'll go wash it. hand."
Not everyone in this world is socially ignorant and can't understand people's words. Bai Jing has accurately received the cold and hard attitude of the handsome guy Jin towards her, and the woman surnamed Xie at the dining table has obviously experienced what happened before. , and I don't want to spend more time with her. Feeling embarrassed, she finally found an excuse that it was a temporary incident, and left the dinner table in a daze.
After a while, He Yu came back, saw that she had left, raised his eyebrows, didn't even ask a question, and sat down beside Xie Xue as if nothing happened.
Xie Xuelian rolled his eyes a few times, scolded Bai Jing a few more times, and then bit two strings of treasures in his palms, turned his head and said to He Yu: "You just said that you have someone you like? It's true or false, who is it? ?"
"I'm kidding you."
Xie Xue patted his chest and sipped his beer: "Oh, then you scared me to death..."
He Yu's hand movement paused slightly, looking at the girl's heartless face.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Are you afraid of someone I like?"
"of course."
"Why?"
"Because I'm still a bachelor, wouldn't I be able to come and play with you often after you're released?"
… what a stupid reason.
Xie Xue: "What are you laughing at?"
He Yu raised her hand, gently wiped off the unintentional pepper powder on the corner of her lips with her thumb, opened her eyebrows, and said as if nothing happened: "How can you eat a skewer and still rub your mouth."
In fact, he has wanted to confess to her for a long time, and he has always had this plan since he returned to China.
It's just that He Yu is a sophisticated person. He thinks that confessing this matter should be done in a serious way, rather than rushing up with enthusiasm, and then without thinking, he just revealed his thoughts that he had hidden for so many years on the noisy street.
Thinking like this, he changed the subject: "Don't let your brother have a blind date with this kind of young girl in the future, he is old and old, and his character is old-fashioned, and the aunts of the same generation can't stand him, let alone this kind of girl. She and How deep is your brother's generation gap?"
"Why do you speak ill of my brother? He's not bad for you!"
He Yu: "I'm telling the truth."
"I bother!"
He Yu rolled his eyes, unable to understand Xie Xue's brother's accusation: "Really, you take off the filter and take a closer look, your brother is an older second-married man, and it's almost the same as finding someone with a more virtuous personality. It's really not for him at such a young age."
"Just save it, my brother is so handsome and good, why should he do it?"
"He is handsome, and he looks at people with arrogance and squinting all day long, and no one owes him." He Yu seemed to see Xie Qingcheng's indifferent face in front of He Yu's eyes. Thinking of him, he relaxed slightly, leaned over, and grinned. Biting a straw.
In that posture, it was as if the president was being served by an assistant for granted, obviously he didn't even have money. How can you be so calm, provocative and ironic.
He Yu was a little angry again when he thought about it. He didn't know what to put on "Mr. Xie"'s mouth so that his calm could be wiped clean, so that his eyes could be confused, and his face was invaded by embarrassment and humiliation.
However, does Xie Qingcheng really show that fragile look on that face...
He Yu had never seen it before, but after thinking about it, he couldn't imagine it.
"What are you thinking about?"
He Yu absently said, "I miss your brother."
"what?"
"...I was wondering if your brother had lost his temper and was compared to others."
"Oh, then you should die. I haven't seen him like that since I can remember. My eldest brother is very good, but he is calm and strong. Don't look at him now in suits and trousers with books all day long. He looks like When you were so old, we were the most capable of fighting. Once a group of hooligans bullied me, and he picked up a dozen of them with a steel pipe and took them to the police station... Later, the hooligans saw him. He was about to get a rug to pave the aisle for him, all nodded and called him brother, except for one person... But that's an individual phenomenon and can't be counted."
Looking at the light in her eyes, He Yu became even more uncomfortable, and smiled: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, when you mention him, you always look up to him, always thinking that your brother is your savior."
"He is! You have no idea how difficult it is for him to be a father, a mother, and a brother by himself..."
"Then you are also very obedient and save him trouble."
"...Hey, I can't, I don't even have one-tenth of his ability." Xie Xue shook his head while eating the skewers, "Hey, I can't, I can't."
The two were talking, and He Yu looked at her ashamed in the noisy liquor store fireworks, thought she was a little funny, and her eyes gradually softened. He thought that such a good girl would not be the only one who likes him.
He really couldn't wait any longer.
That night, He Yu didn't go back to the dormitory. It was too late. He didn't want to disturb his roommates. So after sending Xie Xue back to the staff dormitory, he asked the driver to throw himself in a hotel he frequented and take a shower. Lie down right between the fluffy goose down pillows.
"I'm here, you..."
His fingers slid across the phone screen quickly, but his thoughts hit the rocks halfway through.
He Yu finally sighed, deleted the contents of the dialog box, stared at the avatar of the sleepwalking bear on the WeChat chat interface for a long time, and only sent the simplest two words.
"Good night."
Just as he was about to turn off the phone, he heard a ding sound, and He Wei thought it was Xie Xue's reply, and immediately picked it up to read.
But the message was actually sent by the savior, it turned out to be a transfer message.
"I set a limit on the hospital's online banking just now. Now that I have fixed it, the money will be returned to you."
He Yu hated Xie Qingcheng very much at first, and because it wasn't Xie Xue's reply, it was even more indifferent.
"I'm just saving someone, why should you pay for it?"
Xie Qingcheng also disliked He Yu's virtue, and was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply said, "That's a service fee."
"what?"
"You give me the service fee for driving. Even if I find a substitute driver on the spot, I can't find a driver as young and strong as you who can drag the car."
"… "
He is so patient.
How many people in this world really dare to use He Shao as a driver and pay him a service fee
And how does this sound like prostitution/capitalization!
He Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he was about to go back again, when he suddenly stepped back and saw Xie Xue's chat interface.
He remembered Xie Xue's bright eyes when he mentioned Xie Qingcheng, and the sentence: "You don't know how difficult it is for my brother to raise me alone..."
"… "
Forget it, he is her eldest brother after all.
He Yu then replied: "You're welcome, Brother Xie, you can call me anytime you need in the future, so that you can sit comfortably and be satisfied."
"Show me your auto insurance claim form abroad first."
He Yu's face darkened again: he shouldn't give him a good face!
Then the phone vibrated again.
This time it was not Xie Qingcheng, but Xie Xue.
Xie Xue replied to him: "Good night! Thank you today."
She came out of the bathroom of the faculty dormitory of Shanghai University, wiped her wet hair, yawned, and as soon as she took out her phone, she saw the good night message from He Yu. He couldn't help laughing and replied to his message.
Then she sat at the table and opened the book. Although almost no one records their daily life with pen and paper these days, there are always a few wonderful flowers with this nostalgic heart, willing to work with rusty ink and sharpened pens. , the beige pages wandered in yesterday together.
Turning on the light on the writing desk, Xie Xue began to write her bedtime note:
"Today my brother went on a blind date again, but I don't like that girl, I think..."
He wrote more than 500 words eloquently, probably referring to Xie Qingcheng's relationship status, and he couldn't help but think that he is still single.
Xie Xue sighed and looked out the window at the UFO night with street lights flashing.
She is different from her brother. Her brother is a person who has been very disappointed in love and marriage. He lives too soberly, and peach blossom eyes come over, and everyone seems a little impatient.
But she has someone she likes.
The figure of that person vaguely appeared in front of him. From childhood to adulthood, he often saw him dangling in front of him, so close and so far.
Although she knew that they were not from the same world, the gap between the circles was too great. Besides, he is younger than her...
But now that they were both in Shanghai, she could see that the girls who were interested in him were more enthusiastic than the wheat waves in autumn.
If she doesn't tell him, time will be running out. If she misses her shoulders like this, she may regret it later... In the end, she ends up in the same situation as her brother - worrying about the trivialities of life with people who don't have too many feelings , said an insincere oath, walked into the tomb of marriage, and then one day revived the body from the tomb, and was alone again.
Sometimes she really can't bear to see her eldest brother like this, she feels that Xie Qingcheng is living for others most of the time. Saying that he doesn't care about the eyes of others, but he is the one who cares most about his relatives.
Xie Qingcheng was too tense.
It's not that she didn't persuade him, but every time a word is still halfway between her lips and teeth, she will give her a sideways glance when she is the eldest brother, either to let her learn to take care of herself, or to teach her that you should take care of the adults. You little girl, what do you know.
In fact, the person who doesn't understand emotions the most is himself. He lived half his life, but only got one very failed marriage.
"I want to try to confess to the person I like. Since my younger brother, I have been asked to be brave, and I think the same is true in this matter. Whether it is successful or not, I have always worked hard. I will not regret it when I think about it in the future. "
After Xie Xue wrote the last sentence, she closed the ledger.
What she didn't know was that in a hotel suite a few kilometers away, He Yu also had a similar idea to hers...
