Chen Xu picked up the glass and drank the beer. Looking at the dishes on the table, he felt that something was missing. He beckoned the waiter over and said, "Give me an extra serving of watercress."
"Okay." The waiter picked up the menu, marked it with a pen, and left.
After a while, the dishes came up.
Chen Xu poured a plate of watercress into it, suddenly felt someone approaching, raised his head, saw Yang Jinxia, was slightly taken aback, and blurted out, "Did something fall?"
Yang Jinxia sat directly on the original seat, looked at the watercress in the steaming pot, and said, "You are quite careful. I in the parallel world don't like to eat watercress?"
"I just felt that the dishes were not enough, so I added one more." Chen Xu put down the chopsticks and refilled her cup.
Yang Jinxia said, "Then your appetite is really not small."
"I just finished running and I'm hungry. I'm laughing at you."
Yang Jinxia picked up her colander, fished out a piece of yuba from the pot and put it in a bowl, and said, "It suddenly occurred to me just now that I haven't asked your opinion about our cooperation. What kind of cooperation do you hope for?"
"A part of the cash, and a part of the shares. The cash can be converted into shares of Zhonghui. As for the specific amount, it depends on you."
"I can accept this plan." She nodded and said, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the piece of bean curd stick, dipped it in some sauce, put it in her mouth, took a bite, and put it back again, "However, I have encountered some troubles recently The cooperation may have to be delayed."
"That's really a pity." Chen Xu sighed, "I don't know how long it will be delayed?"
"Aren't you curious, what's the trouble?"
"It's troublesome for you, so what's the use of asking?"
"You can guess."
"I can not guess it."
"It's too perfunctory, I don't accept it."
"It's difficult for you to be strong."
"If you don't guess, our cooperation will be void."
Chen Xu scooped up all the contents of the pot, called the waiter, asked for another pot bottom, and said, "Then at least give me some hints."
Yang Jinxia shook his head, "There is no prompt, just take it as a test, no one is qualified to be my partner."
After a while, the waiter came over with a brand new pot of soup base, changed it, and left.
Chen Xu raised the temperature and said, "Then let me make a bold guess, it's not about work."
"Ok."
"It shouldn't be emotional, it's only about physical health. I think you haven't been in a good mood for the past two days, and there is nothing wrong with your body. It seems that you don't have enough rest. Is it mental..."
Yang Jinxia didn't say yes or no, she put her hand on the cup but didn't pick it up, and said after a while, "Sometimes, I really doubt it, you just have the same keen insight as me, With careful thought and deliberate deliberation, he wove a lie to lure me into the bait."
"I'm glad you think so highly of me."
"Now, I will give you a chance, as long as you can do it, in the future, I can trust you unconditionally."
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "I can't do it."
Yang Jinxia looked at him, waiting for his reason.
Chen Xu said, "Only if you trust me unconditionally, can I solve your troubles."
Yang Jinxia smiled, "You are really whimsical."
Chen Xu said, "Her name is Xiaoya, right?"
The smile on Yang Jinxia's face disappeared, and his eyes became cold.
Chen Xu didn't avoid her gaze, just stared at her like this.
After a while, she spoke, her voice was equally cold, "As long as you put in the effort, it's not difficult to know the name."
Chen Xu said, "Yeah, there aren't many real secrets in this world." Then, he took out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Then, he stood up and walked out.
Yang Jinxia didn't move, just sat like this. After a long time, she slowly got up and left the hot pot restaurant.
"Liar, he's a liar."
In the ear, a voice of gnashing of teeth sounded.
Her lips moved, as if smiling.
...
When Chen Xu walked out of the hot pot restaurant, he wondered if she would become angry from embarrassment. Then she felt that it was impossible. The two had been together in reality for so many years. Although they still couldn't guess what she was thinking, there was one thing that she knew very well about what she needed.
As long as she knows that there is an opportunity to solve her own troubles, she will never pass up such an opportunity.
There was nothing he could do about it. Dealing with her was by no means an easy task. He can't be too active, it will appear that he has ulterior motives.
And, like he just said, if she doesn't believe him, there's nothing he can do about it.
She was not the kind of person who would tell him everything, she never mentioned about Xiaoya in front of him. He only learned about it through the playback function of the virtual dream system. In that dream, when he was lying in the cryopreservation cabin, she would often tell him some of the most secret words in her heart.
However, it is absolutely impossible for a person like her to want her to let go of her guard in a few words.
He scanned a shared electric car on the side of the road, rode all the way back to the rental house, took a shower, sat in front of the computer, took out his mobile phone habitually, and saw a QQ message.
"This is my friend's mobile phone number. If you are free in two days, please contact her." Looking at the sending time, it was sent on the way back by his bicycle.
He replied, "Okay, thanks."
"Still working overtime on New Year's Day?"
"No, I just ate out."
"It's the same person who has fallen in the end of the world. It's too pitiful to have to eat out on the first day of the new year."
"You haven't come home yet?"
"No, at least until after Lantern Festival."
"In this way, you are much more miserable than me. I still have a holiday for Lantern Festival."
"Ugh."
After a while, she sent another message, "By the way, I met a composer with the same stage name as you."
"Really, it can't be such a coincidence."
"It's true. Today I listened to a piano performance. It was so nice. I just glanced at the program list. The composer on it has exactly the same stage name as yours."
"Is that performer called Zhang Jinshan?"
"How do you know? Did you also compose those two piano pieces?"
"That's right. It was originally Tao Xun's song. Zhang Jinshan heard it last time. She was very interested and wanted to adapt it into a piano piece. I agreed."
After a while, "Because I was so shocked, I didn't know what to say for a while."
"It's okay, you can boast, don't worry that I will be proud."
"Well, do you have any unpublished songs on hand?"
"What, you want?"
"think."
