"Drive forward two hundred meters, the destination is on the right side of the road ahead..."
Chen Xu listened to the navigation information reported on his mobile phone, parked the car on the side of the road, stretched out his hand and pushed Yang Jinxia next to him, "Here we are, wake up."
"Ok?"
She rubbed her eyes, raised her head, and asked in a daze, "Is it there?" As she spoke, she blocked it with her hand and yawned a long time.
Seeing that she was really sleepy, Chen Xu said, "I'll take you in."
"Well, sorry to trouble you."
"nothing."
When it comes to talking about it, Chen Xu feels that he owes her a favor. He was able to successfully spend half a year in the dream, thanks to her. Although in reality she didn't know what happened in the dream, after all, she was the same person.
Therefore, it is difficult for him to completely harden his heart towards her.
Debts of favor are always the hardest to repay.
The community where Yang Jinxia lives is quite high-end at first glance, and the security guards let him in after he was asked to register.
After parking the car, he saw that she was still not in the mood, so he simply sent her upstairs.
When he was in the elevator, he couldn't help asking, "How much did you drink?"
"I didn't drink much, mainly because I haven't had a good rest in the past few days." Yang Jinxia held onto the elevator wall with one hand, looking very uncomfortable, when the elevator moved, she staggered, and grabbed Chen Xu's arm with the other hand, Just stabilized.
Chen Xu subconsciously held her hand, wondering in his heart, how could a person like her drink like this? After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Did something happen?"
Yang Jinxia leaned her body against the wall of the room and whispered, "My grandma passed out. The doctor said that she may never wake up."
Chen Xu silently, in the dream, the only relative he heard from her was her grandma, obviously the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
He didn't even know how to comfort him when such a tragedy happened.
"My father died before I was born. Not long after I was born, my mother remarried. It was my grandma who raised me single-handedly."
The elevator kept going up, and amidst the slight hum, her voice echoed in the small elevator. Looking at her calm and pale face, Chen Xu felt for the first time that she was a lively person, with a fragile side like everyone else.
"It's going to be fine," he said softly.
Yang Jinxia slightly tightened the hand holding his shoulder, and murmured, "I swore that I would make her live a long life."
Chen Xu wanted to say something else, but with a ding, the elevator arrived.
The two stepped out of the elevator.
Chen Xu sent her to the door, "I'll drive the car back to you tomorrow morning."
"It's a rare holiday, I still want to sleep in."
Chen Xu was right when he thought about it, "Then I'll have to wait until I get off work tomorrow night."
Yang Jinxia stretched out her hand, "Give me your phone."
Chen Xu simply took out the phone, unlocked it, and put it in her hand.
She took the phone and returned it to him after a while, saying, "My number has been stored in it, and wechat has also been added. Before you come, please tell me."
"Okay, then I'm leaving, you go in."
...
Chen Xu was driving on the highway, and the bits and pieces of what she experienced in the dream kept appearing in his mind, and compared with her just now, it was hard to believe that this was the same person.
"Which one is the real her?"
He couldn't help but have such doubts in his heart.
ding ding dong—
The phone in his pocket rang suddenly, pulling him back from his thoughts, his heart skipped a beat, is it her
I took out my phone and saw it was my mother.
He glanced at the rearview mirror, saw that there was no car on the right, turned on the turn signal, parked the car on the side of the road, and then answered the phone, "Mom, why are you calling me at this time?"
"Don't you often work overtime at the end of the year? I'm afraid I'll disturb your work. Are you off work now?" His/mother's voice came from the phone.
"It's already off work."
"When are you going home this year?"
"After half a month, it may be the day of the New Year's Eve."
"Why is it so early this year?"
"Isn't this in a new department? It's arranged by the new leader." Chen Xu hasn't told them about his resignation yet, fearing that they might be worried.
"After Chinese New Year, when will you go to work?"
"Seventh day, same as last year."
"That's good. After the new year, don't rush to leave. Your second aunt and aunt have found some girls for you. They are from the same city as you. You can meet them when the time comes."
Chen Xu heard something was wrong, and said in surprise, "Mom, what are you doing, you want to arrange a blind date for me?"
"It's not a blind date, it's just getting to know each other between young people."
Is there a difference
He said helplessly, "Mom, I'm only twenty-five, don't worry so much."
"Twenty-five is not young. I have already given birth to you at your age."
"The times are different now. Besides, in my current situation, which girl can see me?"
"..."
On the other side of the phone, there was silence for a while, and my mother's low voice came over, "We are the ones who have troubled you."
"Mom, don't say that. I really don't want to find a girlfriend so soon. I'm used to being free, and I can't stand someone controlling me."
"What kind of talk is this? When you reach the age, you will get married and have children. How can you let yourself go. In short, you will go and see him when the time comes. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your fate."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Xu didn't want to disobey her in such a trivial matter, so he agreed. When the time comes, it's time to meet the client.
After being told by his mother, he didn't dare to mention the marriage of his classmates.
A few days ago, Liu Xiaoshang, the deputy monitor of the university, called him and invited him to a wedding, which was scheduled to be on the twenty-fourth day of the new year.
Liu Xiaoshang and him are half fellow villagers, in the same city but in different counties.
According to him, he invited quite a few people, and even some of Chen Xu's college roommates decided to go. He felt that he had time anyway, so he happened to meet his old classmate, so he agreed.
If I let my mother know that his college classmate is getting married, it will be even more interesting.
After he hung up the phone, he started the car again.
When they arrived at the noodle shop, there were already people waiting there, and when they saw him coming to open the door, they all complained.
"Sorry, I have to work overtime today." Chen Xu explained while opening the shutter.
At this time, someone asked, "Boss, what do you do for a job, and the salary is higher than that of your noodle restaurant? I think it's better to just quit, find a better position, and open a more formal noodle restaurant. Then I will visit every day.”
"Yes, yes." Immediately someone echoed.
"Is it reasonable for you to open a noodle shop and only serve supper? If it weren't for us loyal customers, you would have closed down long ago."
"If you opened a decent noodle shop, the business would definitely be ten times better than it is now, much better than when you go to work."
Chen Xu put on his apron and said, "Actually, opening a noodle restaurant is just my hobby."
"I believe you are a ghost." The others immediately snorted.
Chen Xu turned on the stove and asked, "Who will light first?"
"Me, have a bowl of beef brisket noodles." "Seafood noodles." Customers came out one after another.
"Come one by one."
While waiting for the water to boil, Chen Xu made other preparations.
One thing, they are quite right. Now noodle restaurants earn more and more every night, which is much better than jobs. Fortunately, there is only half a month left before I can leave.
He felt that a person should have a beginning and an end. Anyway, after he graduated, he worked in this company, so he had some affection.
S: It will be strongly promoted soon, please recommend tickets.
