Sang Zhi didn't notice anything wrong.
After hanging up, Sang Zhi took out the phone calendar and glanced at it. After calculating the time, she found that before she knew it, she had not been to deliver meals to Duan Jiaxu for nearly a week.
For some reason, probably because of Duan Jiaxu's tone just now, Sang Zhi felt a little guilty for no reason.
Afraid that she would forget about it, Sang Zhi set an alarm clock before going to bed. When she woke up the next day, she found a food video she was interested in and watched it several times in bed before entering the kitchen.
Sang Zhi tasted the taste while making it, and felt that the one made today was better than the one made before.
She licked the sauce from her lips.
I thought to myself, why don't I tell Duan Jiaxu in a while that she didn't pass this time because she was practicing hard cooking
I thought about it for a while.
Sang Zhi carefully placed the lunch box, put it in a bag, and went out. She calculated the time exactly, took the subway and went downstairs to Duan Jiaxu's company, just in time for lunch.
Sang Zhi didn't let Duan Jiaxu come down to pick him up, but took the elevator straight up.
Probably because of meal time, the studio door was not closed.
Sang Zhi walked in, but did not see Duan Jia Xu in his seat. She blinked, took out her phone, and sent Duan Jiaxu a message.
One of the men noticed her, was stunned for a moment, slammed the shoulder of the person next to her, and then took the initiative to say, "Sister-in-law, the boss has gone to the toilet, you sit down for a while."
It was a little awkward for Sang Zhi to be called sister-in-law by these older men. She nodded, walked over to Duan Jia Xu's seat, sat down, and took out the two bentos in the bag.
As soon as Sang Zhi opened the lid, someone asked, "Sister-in-law, why haven't you come over this time?"
She turned back.
Just as he was about to answer, Sang Zhi suddenly noticed Duan Jia Xu's figure from the corner of his eye. She immediately retracted the words in her mouth and turned her eyes to him.
Duan Jiaxu came over and looked down at her, "How long have you been here?"
Sang Zhi: "Just here."
He pulled the chair next to him and sat down, suddenly calling her: "Just."
Sang Zhi looked up: "Huh?"
Duan Jiaxu glanced back and said lazily, "Why didn't you answer when someone asked you something?"
"… "
The attention he had diverted came back at once.
Not knowing if Duan Jiaxu was unhappy, Sang Zhi stared at him hesitantly for a few seconds, then cautiously and slowly said the excuse he had thought of today: "I don't think my cooking is delicious."
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh?"
"That's why I've been practicing my cooking skills during this time." Sang Zhi didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he would find out that he was lying, "Try it, it's even better than before."
The voice fell, and the man who had just asked Sang Zhi said suddenly, "So that's how it is! We thought—"
Before he could finish speaking, the man next to him covered his mouth.
Sang Zhi said indifferently, "Why?"
As if he hadn't heard their words, Duan Jia Xu picked up his chopsticks with a gentle expression: "If you don't want to do it, don't do it. If you're bored, go out with friends."
"… "
If it was normal at ordinary times, at this moment, Sang Zhi felt a little strange for some reason. And this man, whether angry or happy, has the same expression, and she can't tell the difference.
Sang Zhi swallowed and said seriously, "I don't want to."
Duan Jiaxu looked sideways at her.
Sang Zhi added: "I miss it too much."
After a pause, she simply condemned him in turn: "You just don't want me to come here."
Duan Jiaxu's brows and eyes widened a little, and he glanced at the group of elders who were listening with their ears pricked up at the moment, and laughed, "What are you talking about, eat quickly."
Sang Zhi always felt weird.
After dinner, while Duan Jiaxu was going to take out the trash, she asked the youngest boy with the least strict mouth. It didn't take long to ask why.
Boy: "sister-in-law, you haven't been here for a while. We all thought you and the boss broke up."
Sang Zhi: "..."
Boy: "And the boss seems to be in a bad mood during this period of time, we think, you dumped him."
Sang Zhi: "?"
"After all, I heard you say that he is 80 years old." The boy said, "A man who is nearly forty years old and has not yet married must be a little sensitive in his heart. Sister-in-law, treat the boss better."
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds: "I should be talking about the post-80s generation, he was born in 1989."
"… "
Sang Zhi didn't expect that she would be able to spread like this if she hadn't been here for a few days.
—The promising future has a car and a house, but she was dumped by a female college student because of her old age.
She instantly understood the reason why Duan Jiaxu had called her over to deliver meals.
Certainly, heard them.
Sang Zhi returned to Duan Jiaxu's place to play on the phone.
Soon, Duan Jiaxu came back from outside and brought her a drink.
Poking the straw into the cup, Sang Zhi took a sip and glanced at him from time to time. Thinking of what happened just now, she suddenly felt a little funny, and the corners of her lips raised.
Duan Jiaxu looked at her, "What are you laughing at?"
Sang Zhi laughed to herself for a while. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she reached out to poke his face, revealing two small pear eddies on her lips: "Old man with a burden of age."
"… "
"It doesn't matter." Sang Zhi comforted him, "You are old, but your sex is not bad."
"… "
2.
One month after the start of school, we ushered in the 11th long holiday.
Sang Zhi bought a plane ticket to go home in advance. On the 30th, after the last class, she took the airport bus.
When we arrived at Nanwu Airport, it was just after 12 noon.
Sang Zhi didn't bring any luggage, so she didn't check it in, she just carried a small schoolbag. She walked out along the exit, and soon saw Duan Jia Xu who was waiting outside.
Duan Jiaxu came over and held her hand, "Let's go, let's go eat."
Sang Zhi glanced at the time and asked, "Are you going back to the company later?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Yes."
Sang Zhi: "Do you have a National Day holiday?"
Duan Jia Xu: "Leave it for three days."
Sang Zhi snorted.
The two left the airport.
Sang Zhi was led by Duan Jia Xu and walked towards the parking space. She didn't know the location, didn't see the way, just looked down at the phone. Not long after, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind: "Sang Zhi?"
Hearing the sound, Sang Zhi turned back.
What caught his eye was a tall, thin man.
It was her classmate Fu Zhengchu.
It's not too far from the last time we met, it was at a class reunion during the summer vacation.
Compared with the beginning, Fu Zhengchu did not change much, but his appearance has grown longer and his clothes have become a lot more mature, but his temperament still looks sunny and a little silly.
Seeing that he didn't recognize the wrong person, Fu Zhengchu laughed: "Are you going home on National Day?"
Sang Zhi stopped and nodded, "Why are you here?"
Fu Zhengchu: "My grandma is here, I'll pick her up."
Duan Jiaxu also stopped and glanced at Fu Zhengchu lightly, his expression thoughtful. In the next second, his brows twitched, as if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth twitched up.
Only then did Fu Zhengchu notice the man standing beside Sang Zhi.
He looked at Duan Jiaxu and asked politely, "Who is this?"
Sang Zhi said honestly, "My boyfriend."
As if Duan Jiaxu looked familiar, Fu Zhengchu stared at him for a few seconds. Afraid that it would be too abrupt, he coughed lightly and looked away: "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'll go pick up my grandma."
Sang Zhi waved at him and said politely, "Go, get in touch if you have time."
Afterwards, she and Duan Jiaxu continued to walk forward.
After a few steps, Fu Zhengchu behind him called to her again. This time, the voice was a little more unbelievable, as if the three views had been subverted: "Sang, Sang Zhi!"
Sang Zhi turned around again: "Huh?"
But Fu Zhengchu didn't put his eyes on her. Instead, he stared straight at Duan Jia Xu, as if he had remembered something. He looked like he was struck by lightning, his lips moved, and in the end he only managed to say three words: "It's nothing."
Sang Zhi was also inexplicable: "Then go pick up your grandma, don't make the old man wait too long."
He was silent for a moment and nodded.
This time, Fu Zhengchu didn't say anything else, turned around and entered the airport.
After he left, Duan Jia Xu squeezed her fingertips and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, has this boy been made to cry by you before?"
Sang Zhi muttered, "It's been so long, I almost don't remember if you don't mention it."
Duan Jiaxu repeated what she just said: "Yes, free, contact, contact."
Sang Zhi didn't feel that he was being unreasonable, so he couldn't help but say, "Can't you hear the polite words? Besides, he has a girlfriend and has long disliked me. The last time we met, he told me that he was young and ignorant. ."
Duan Jiaxu's expression was sloppy, and he said, "We met last time."
"… "
"Why do you still meet other men behind your brother's back?"
Sang Zhi said blankly, "Classmates reunion."
She frowned: "How can you find a chance to find fault with me now."
"What's wrong?" Duan Jia Xu laughed, "I don't have to be on guard, old couple and young wife."
"… "
Seeing that he still wanted to go through these irrelevant old accounts, Sang Zhi took the initiative to change the subject and mentioned Fu Zhengchu's reaction just now: "When he called me for the second time, his expression seemed very strange."
Duan Jiaxu: "It's strange."
Sang Zhi couldn't understand him: "Why did he react like that? His expression was like he suddenly realized that I had changed my personality, or that I had changed my face."
Duan Jiaxu laughed, "It's not that serious."
Sang Zhi was taken aback: "You know?"
"Um."
"how do you know?"
"you know too."
"I do not know."
"Think about it."
For a while, Sang Zhi really couldn't remember, and said blankly, "What?"
"You classmate, I remember that when I first met me, I went to help you meet the teacher for your brother." Duan Jiaxu reminded patiently, "So, he should think that I am your brother."
"… "
"He may now think that we are incest."
