Today's dinner was cooked by Xu Xinghe himself, and he cooked a delicious whole fish feast.
Grape fish is sweet and sour, crucian carp soup is smooth and tender, cuttlefish cake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and chewy...
Chef Xu looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, raised his hand to take a few photos, and then asked the orderly to ask Ling Changfeng to go downstairs for dinner.
Ling Changfeng soon appeared in the restaurant.
At this time, Xu Xinghe had just come out of the kitchen, and casually untied the apron tied around his waist, and handed it to the orderly at the side.
In the end, he was amputated half way by a big hand with distinct bones and slender fingers.
Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head, Ling Changfeng came over at some point, took the apron from him, and handed it over to the orderly.
Xu Xinghe: "..." Why bother
He straightened his clothes and asked casually, "Are you still so busy working on weekends?"
"Fortunately, we're all done." Ling Changfeng replied as he took his seat, "I'll be with you tonight."
Xu Xinghe: "..." That's not what it means.
He just wanted to reply "No need", but when he looked up, he saw that Ling Changfeng had already taken his seat, so he took the words back and decided to sit down and eat first.
After all, good food can't live up to it.
The two sat at both ends of the long table and started today's dinner.
Xu Xinghe felt that Ling Changfeng tonight was a bit strange.
During the meal, he always raised his eyes to look at himself from time to time, as if he hesitated to speak.
He rarely saw such an expression on Ling Changfeng's face.
This man with different pupils has always been straightforward and has no taboos.
what is it today
Finally, when Ling Changfeng cast an ambiguous look for the nth time, Xu Xinghe couldn't help but said, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Ling Changfeng was speechless.
The divorce agreement in my hand was burned clean, but what about his little spouse who signed the agreement
At this moment, he didn't know whether to bring up the old matter again.
If you don't mention it, this will be a hidden danger that makes him choke in his throat.
But if you mention...
He is still not sure if he can get the desired answer.
If you can, it's okay, if you can't, some problems between them will be exposed early, and it will be difficult to whitewash the peace.
Frankly speaking, Ling Changfeng doesn't really want to break the hard-won harmonious atmosphere. He was silent for a moment, and decided to press the button first, but began to ask obliquely: "Are most of the contracts signed by your unit in duplicate?"
"Ah?" Xu Xinghe was stunned, a little surprised at why Ling Changfeng would suddenly ask such a question, but he still answered seriously: "If there is a contract between the two parties, then it must be, two identical contracts signed and stamped, A and B Each side keeps a copy."
Ling Changwei took a bite of the cuttlefish cake, and his tone was as flat as a colleague's nonchalant: "What if one party repents?"
Xu Xinghe looked at him suspiciously: "The contract between the two parties, how can it be unilaterally reneged? The agreement written in black and white is not acceptable if you want to break the contract."
Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes: "Yes."
"But let's take a step back—" Xu Xinghe thought for a while, and then continued to reply: "Contracts are dead, but people are alive. Any problem can be resolved through negotiation. If one party compromises, there is no need to go to court. ... Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Ling Changfeng said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
Xu Xinghe: "?"
He had an intuition that Ling Changfeng had something on his mind, but he didn't intend to delve into it. He just took a sip of crucian carp soup, and then teased leisurely: "What? Could it be that you signed some unequal agreement and wanted to unilaterally break the contract? Then you Don't worry, I guess no one would dare to sue you."
Ling Changfeng: "..."
When Xu Xinghe mentioned this, he suddenly realized that he was stupid.
I actually struggled with this kind of problem for a long time, but ignored a very important point——
Regardless of whether Xu Xinghe has another divorce agreement in his hand, he has never signed it!
Without your own signature, it is basically a dead letter.
As for a year later...
Who wants a divorce a year from now
Marshal Ling suddenly realized.
The tiny burrs in his heart were suddenly smoothed away, and he felt at ease all of a sudden.
After dinner, Xu Xinghe got up, went to the kitchen to get the exclusive fish cake prepared for Xiaoqi, and then walked towards the cat house on the third floor.
Unexpectedly, Ling Changfeng also followed.
Get up with him, go to the kitchen together, and go to the third floor together...
Xu Xinghe asked him: "Why are you following me?"
Ling Changfeng: "Accompany you."
Xu Xinghe: "..." Following and accompanying should not mean the same thing.
He said with shame: "You don't need to accompany me, I will feed a cat."
Ling Changfeng said slowly, "I'll feed the cat too."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Only then did he realize that at this point in time, the cats of the two should be sleeping together... Really annoying!
Pushing open the door of the cat house, the situation was as expected by Xu Xinghe—
"What are you doing!?"
Inside the house, Aaron held Xiao Qi's paw in his arms, and was licking its fur very attentively.
And Xiao Qi seemed to enjoy this service very much, obediently lying down on the spot, a whole little bird.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He took a deep breath, looked away out of sight and out of mind, but still stepped forward to put down the small bowl full of cat cakes.
Seeing this, Xiaoqi turned over and rolled nimbly, ran over and started eating with her head buried.
Aaron's arms suddenly fell, and he was not in a hurry or annoyed, so he got up naturally, walked to Xiaoqi's side, and guarded it quietly.
Ling Changfeng looked at the two cats with a researching gaze, and asked, "How do they progress so fast?"
Xu Xinghe said angrily: "Aaron is always courteous for nothing, tempting Xiao Qi with dried fish, but Xiao Qi is good at this, thinking that those who give him food are good people. Now these two guys are free to eat. Bubble together, can't the progress be fast!"
Ling Changfeng nodded: "So it's because of what he likes, plus persistence?"
Seeing Xiao Qi wagging his tail happily, Xu Xinghe felt that his blood was going out, so he didn't bother to listen to Ling Changfeng's summary, and said heartbroken: "I'm going to consider neutering Xiao Qi. Surgery... Otherwise, if we continue at this rate, we might have a kitten one day."
Ling Changfeng had an imperceptible smile on his brows, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it good? Why don't you open a small restaurant after you retire, and open a cat cafe instead."
Hearing this, Xu Xinghe was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked Ling Changfeng: "Did I tell you that I want to open a restaurant after I retire?"
In his impression, he hadn't even talked about his retirement plan with his colleagues in the same group.
Ling Changfeng nodded: "I said it last night."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Team leader Xu swallowed, and asked a little uneasy: "What else did I say last night?"
Forget about opening the store, he was a little worried that he had said more and more private things.
Ling Changfeng looked at his nervous little appearance, but intentionally slowed down his tone, hanging on unhurriedly: "I talked a lot, from childhood to adulthood."
Xu Xinghe's scalp tightened: "For example?"
"For example, when I was young, I was crying over candy from people in kindergarten, and I went to see a horror movie for the first time when I was in middle school, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night..."
Xu Xinghe said numbly: "Okay, don't say any more."
Fuck! Why can't I talk about everything when I'm drunk!
Ling Changfeng asked: "Do you like watching movies?"
Xu Xinghe perfunctorily said: "It's okay, I liked it when I was in college."
Even after telling such a long time ago, he really can't imagine how many embarrassing things he revealed to himself last night.
So he simply got up to escape reality: "It's getting late, I'm going to bed. Good night."
Ling Changfeng: "..."
He lowered his head and glanced at the time, it was seven twenty in the evening.
He unhurriedly followed Xu Xinghe with his hands behind his back, a smile of interest appeared in his different pupils: "Well, good night."
After a frantic weekend, on Monday morning, Xu Xinghe happily returned to the ark to go to work.
Then I forgot to bring food.
He sat behind his desk and struggled for a few seconds, but decided not to bother the people from the Marshal's Mansion to deliver the food, after all, it's not good to be too ostentatious in the unit.
So when it was time for lunch, Team Leader Xu collected his things and headed straight to the convenience store outside the north gate of the ark.
This time I bought rice with pork chops in tomato sauce. After heating the rice, I poured the tomato sauce on top of the rice. Before I could move my chopsticks, I heard a voice from behind: "Team Leader Xu, long time no see."
Hearing the voice of an acquaintance, Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, and looked back, Gu Nai, who was wearing a black and white plaid shirt, was walking towards him with a freshly heated bento in his hand.
Gu Nai stopped in front of Xu Xinghe, pushed his glasses, and asked with a smile, "Does Team Leader Xu mind if I sit here?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
At this time, he actually prefers to eat alone, but everyone is already in front of him, so it's not easy to refuse directly, "Sit down, why did you come over to eat?"
Gu Nai sat down opposite him, and replied casually: "The food in the canteen today is not very appetizing."
Xu Xinghe nodded: "Oh, it's because I forgot to bring my meal."
He looked at the black pepper beef tenderloin rice that Gu Nai ordered, and said, "Didn't you say you can't eat spicy food last time? This one is a bit spicy."
Gu Nai smiled: "I know, I heard people say that eating spicy food is like drinking alcohol. Eight points depend on the sky, and two points depend on practice, so I am practicing eating spicy food recently."
Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, the hands holding the chopsticks could not help but pause for a while, and then he continued to pick up vegetables as if nothing had happened.
Gu Nai asked gently, "How was Team Leader Xu doing last weekend?"
"Uh, it's okay..." Xu Xinghe thought of what happened last weekend, and couldn't help rubbing his temples, "There are a lot of headaches, and there are also many happy things."
Gu Nai carefully observed his face, but smiled and said: "It seems that you are doing well."
Xu Xinghe lowered his head to pick up the rice.
"By the way—" Gu Nai said suddenly, prolonging the ending, and asked with a smile, "Are you free tonight?"
Xu Xinghe raised his head: "Huh? What's the matter?"
As soon as the words fell, the smart phone on the wrist suddenly "ding".
He raised his hand and saw that it was an email from Ling Changfeng.
From the perspective of security, Ling Changfeng never used entertainment communication software such as Fetion and LINK to send messages to him, and only used official mailboxes to communicate with him in the form of emails.
So these days, the mailbox has almost become the software he opens most frequently.
[Are you free tonight? ]
Ling Changfeng asked almost the same question as Gu Nai in the email.
Xu Xinghe replied simply: [Yes. ]
Then she raised her head and said to Gu Nai, "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."
Gu Nai nodded, and there was no other emotion on his face other than a smile.
The mail rang again.
Ling Changfeng: [I will pick you up tonight. ]
Xu Xinghe: [Okay, then I will send you an email before I get off work]
Then he asked: [Why go? ]
After a while, Ling Changfeng replied mysteriously: [You will know when you go]
