Since then, Ye Ji'an has often eaten lunch with Liang Xiao, occasionally bringing a few other young colleagues, but most of the time they are alone.
It was Liang Xiaoqi's head at first, just a few days after he mentioned the "secret", he stood in front of Ye Ji'an's table after the morning meeting, "I saw that a family of soup dumplings had good reviews, seniors, would you like to try it together? ?"
Ye Ji'an was a little surprised. According to his observation, this person has never been short of rice friends, and he is not a makeshift person who silently eats rice balls and bread. But it was the two unbending eyes in front of her eyes, as if she would never blink if she couldn't hear the answer. Out of some kind of guilty conscience, Ye Ji'an agreed.
The soup dumplings that day were really good, and the duck blood vermicelli soup was 80% authentic. There were office workers sitting around who came out to fight their teeth. Ye Ji'an was sweating while eating. Why didn't he notice such a shop before? He remembered the taste of his hometown very concretely at the end of this cold October.
"When I was a child, I used to go to the vegetable market over Cangxiang to help my mother buy vegetables. There was a shop selling this at the door. It was so cold in winter. If I had enough spare change, I would go in and eat," Ye Ji'an said with a smile. Pretty similar."
Liang Xiao's eyes lit up, "Senior just likes it."
I haven't been home for more than ten years, since college. Ye Jian suddenly thought. But he also felt that this uncle was a little too vicissitudes of life with the local young man, so he bowed his head to eat fans, so that he would not have anything to talk about.
Liang Xiao was quite indifferent, he could pick up if he had something to say. In the quiet between the two, he also seemed very comfortable, eating every bite elegantly, and he couldn't tell whether he liked it from his expression alone. However, after the meal, he regained his energy. He took off his coat and put it on Ye Ji'an.
Ye Ji'an was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that the sweaty white shirt is of course more transparent. Although there is a vest inside, it seems that there are so many suspicious hidden greens on the shoulders and arms, just as he It's the same as seen in the mirror. And his coat was sent to the dry cleaner downstairs of the company when he just went out. He originally planned to go back in the freezer and pick it up after get off work.
"It's okay." He raised his head slightly, letting himself look sideways, his waist was stiff for some reason, "I don't know what to do if I freeze you."
"No, I'm in good shape, and I wear thermal underwear," Liang Xiao said solemnly, casually putting his windbreaker on his boss's shoulder, and quickly unbuttoning two shirts, eager to prove something. There is a cashmere sweater." He raised his chin and motioned Ye Ji'an to take a good look.
Well, it does have a sweetheart neck, soft milky white, good elasticity, and it was pulled up and displayed. The thermal underwear inside is a comfortable floral grey.
Does this kid know how to take care of himself? How can you not see the bloated
Ye Ji'an even started to get hot, not because of the mixed eyes from the diners, but because the windbreaker was heavily draped over his shoulders, making him think that he was a weak girl, and he cared about him who was not familiar with him. Colleagues are showing off thermal underwear to weird and warm-hearted guys.
He tugged his clothes up and put them on his sleeves so it wouldn't slide down, "Thank you."
Liang Xiao really smiled, the kind of carefree, "This coat matches the seniors very well."
Don't say give it to me even if you have a mine at home. This is Hermes, thought Ye Ji'an.
Fortunately not.
Since then, there have been many times since, two people who don't seem to fit well have become food friends. When they are not so busy, Liang Xiao always sends out invitations naturally, as if he has a real-time update in his head. The surrounding food map, but never mentioned online, must be said face to face. Later, when Ye Ji'an remembered any restaurant, he would also invite this gluttonous junior.
This actually has advantages and disadvantages for Ye Ji'an.
There are too many benefits, just to put it simply, Ye Ji'an's lunch break that has been boring for so many years suddenly changed a little, and the quality of life and happiness index have certainly improved. Occasionally, he glanced over the work station in front of the glass wall, and saw that he had nothing else to do. His back, he even had a few flashes, looking forward to the door being knocked open at noon and Liang Xiao came in with a lot of ideas on his face.
The disadvantage is that his fan friend does not seem to have any concept of money. The only consideration is food, and the per capita consumption is completely outside the scope of measurement. Generally, simple meals are fine. There were two times when he made an appointment with a restaurant that Ye Ji'an never thought he would set foot in, and he made reservations many days in advance very thoughtfully. , the taste is really good, the meat is really painful.
Of course Liang Xiao was still as unrestrained as ever. Before AA, he didn't even read the bill.
"Senior is too strict with himself," he said.
"You can't push yourself too hard or work hard for a bank card?" Seems to make sense.
Ye Ji'an looked at the smooth and white skin on his cheeks and thought, this is a friend of a fox and dog, tempting me to be arrogant and extravagant, but people are young and lively, which is really different. Think again, come on, I spend money to buy happiness.
Such lofty ambitions often end in a dingy queue to buy roasted sweet potatoes after he squeezes the evening rush hour subway.
One day, if you really don't have a mortgage, you'll have to take the dog. Anyway, if you buy insurance, you won't even have a place to bury it, Ye Ji'an thought unusually. He was holding a paper bag and breathing the heat, ready to go home to pack up the closet and find out his thermal underwear to wear.
That's it until the end of December.
Before the New Year's Day holiday, the company organized a free physical examination for most of the day, Ye Ji'an was working in the office, and so was Liang Xiao. Ye Ji'an was looking at his back through the glass again, thinking that this guy really wanted to check with me and do this thankless stupid thing together. And what's the secret? In such a hurry to tell me, I couldn't see anything in the past two months. I walked like a fly, and I didn't have a shorter time to exercise than me. So what is it
Could it be some unspeakable little bug, like... having six toes
Only children who haven't been beaten by society would consider it an important secret. Ye Ji'an felt that Liang Xiao could do such a thing.
At 8:00 a.m. on New Year's Day, a good holiday, the two made an appointment to meet in the medical examination building. Liang Xiao arrived earlier, standing in the center of the lobby as if at a loss, wearing a jumper, jeans, basketball shoes, and a soft-bubble down jacket. This is the first time Ye Ji'an has seen this casual look. He looked down and felt that he was dressed like an old morning exerciser. On second thought, this hospital is right across from his community. He got up at 7:30 and took two steps to arrive. He didn't know where Liang Xiao lived, how he got here, and how long it took.
"Good morning, senior." Liang Xiao smiled when he saw him.
"Early morning," Ye Ji'an felt relaxed. He walked over and took someone to the self-service registration machine. He specifically asked the General Department office beforehand that it would be much more convenient for this guy to go back to China to get medical insurance. The hospital, let me see how these are used."
"Yeah." Liang Xiao stood beside him obediently, watching without blinking, such a diligent student.
"I'll draw blood first, it's time to wait in a long line, I'll take the bread and I'll be able to make a cushion after drawing," Ye Ji'an turned to the escalator familiarly, "The blood draw is on the second floor." , after the project is over, you can work with me, or you can act separately."
Liang Xiao didn't say a word, just followed silently, Ye Ji'an looked out of the corner of the eye, I'm too old to be annoying? He thought so.
Unexpectedly, on the second floor and halfway up the center, Liang Xiao suddenly spoke again.
"Are you still afraid of me now?"
Ye Ji'an didn't react for a while.
Liang Xiao didn't wait for him to answer, and asked again, "Senior hasn't forgotten about that secret."
Ye Ji'an's eyes widened, "Yeah."
"But you haven't asked me, I'm very grateful," Liang Xiao smiled, he walked down the escalator first, "Senior, you are really a good person, you are for everyone, you care more about the feelings of others than own curiosity."
The blood collection room is on the side of the escalator, and you don't even need to enter the corridor. Ye Ji'an quickly followed, "Can I ask now?"
Liang Xiao turned his face back suddenly, "Ah, yes, of course," a bit like waking up from a dream, but also a bit like a dream, he turned his head and walked quickly, "I'm afraid of injections and blood draws. I don't like it either." The checklist in his hand was crumpled, he finally stopped, staring blankly at the door number of the blood collection room in front of him, and said calmly, "Senior, I hate needles so much."
