After leaving the flower shop, the two took a walk back to Xu Lian's shop. Xiang Changkong put the flowers on the battery car, turned around and said to Xu Lian, "It's getting late, you should go home first."
"it is good."
"drive safely."
"Ah, you too."
Xiang Changkong smiled and watched Xu Lian drive away before he stepped into the battery car and headed home against the night wind.
Entering November, the weather is getting colder and colder. It is better to wear a mask from tomorrow.
Thinking of his home all the way, Xiang Changkong didn't ride the battery car too fast. When he got home, he carefully took out the flower and placed it on the desk.
This is the first pot of green plants in his room. He was not a person who likes to grow flowers before, but his mother once raised a lot of flowers on the balcony. The flowers were left unattended after his mother fell ill and slowly all died. Later, I moved here, and no one raised flowers. In this house, I could not see a single pot of plants.
I hope his pot of white rhododendron can pass the winter smoothly.
After getting up the next morning, Xiang Changkong first watered the flowers according to the instructions in the flower-raising manual given by the boss, and then put them in the warmest place in the house before going out to work.
At noon, he received Xu Lian's takeout order, and seeing her order chicken leg rice again, Xiang Zhangkong couldn't help but laugh. Xu Lian naturally saw that her order was dispatched to Xiang Changkong. She looked at the map showing that the rider was getting closer and closer to her, and felt that this was a wonderful feeling.
It was as if she had installed a locator on Xiang Changkong.
Seeing that he was still two minutes away from him, Xu Lian walked downstairs and took the heat preservation bucket that he washed clean by the way. When he came to deliver meals to Changkong, he saw that she had returned the thermos bucket to himself, and said to her with a smile, "I'll make a portion for you while I'm cooking, anyway, even if I don't do it, I'll still come over and deliver it to you. ."
Xu Lian was a little embarrassed by what he said. She has been relatively independent since she was a child, and because of her father's work, she often stayed at home alone when she was studying. How did he arrive at Xiang Changkong, as if he had been taking care of himself.
"Then you don't have to deliver food, and review it well in the past two months."
Xiang Changkong said: "It doesn't matter. Originally, this working time is relatively free. Except during the peak meal period, I can read books when I don't have an order."
He said and pointed to the battery car he parked outside: "I carry all my books with me."
Xu Lian knew that if he continued talking, it would turn into Xiang Zhangkong's IQ crushing, so he didn't bring up the topic again: "Then you go first, you still have food to deliver."
"Well, I'll bring you food tomorrow." He took the thermos and walked out.
Zhang Guoer felt that life was very difficult. She had to be stuffed with dog food every day, but it was okay. But the conversation between Xu Lian and Xiang Changkong just now caught her attention: "Boss, what book is Brother Xiang reading?"
Xu Lian said: "The book for the postgraduate entrance examination."
Zhang Guoer was stunned for a while, postgraduate entrance examination? Brother Xiang really isn't something in the pool!
"What major is he taking?" Zhang Guo'er took out her small notebook and had her pens ready.
Xu Lian opened the takeout and took a sip of the soup provided by the store: "Flying."
Zhang Guoer stopped writing, took out his mobile phone and checked it before continuing to record.
"It turns out that the delivery boy learned to build a plane! No wonder the car is so slippery!"
She wasn't talking about his battery car!
When Xiang Changkong left Xingguang Park, a group of people suddenly appeared from the roadside, and he had to stop the battery car. These people dress up very socially, like the young and dangerous boys in the movies in the early years.
His first reaction was that these people were the same group of people who made trouble in Xulian's store last time, but it's been so long since this incident, they want revenge, shouldn't it be just now? It was not until he saw a familiar man walking towards him that he was sure that these people were another group of people.
Wei Yichen's people.
Wei Yichen is very conspicuous wherever he goes. In addition to a face that attracts attention, his dress is always very flamboyant. In this respect, it was somewhat similar to Xu Lian, so he had only misunderstood that the two of them were a couple.
Wei Yichen walked up to Xiang Changkong, patted the front of his car with his hand, only looked at him and smiled, but didn't speak.
It wasn't a comfortable laugh, he could see the provocation and disdain in his laugh.
Xiang Changkong looked at him and said, "You are Xu Lian's friend, right? What do you have to do with me?"
When he mentioned Xu Lian's name, Wei Yichen's expression sank. He raised his lips coldly, and got a little closer to Xiang Changkong: "You still dare to mention Xu Lian to me?"
When things developed to this point, Xiang Changkong also roughly guessed his intentions. He didn't say anything, and Wei Yichen finally put away the smile on his face: "Why, come to see Xu Lian again?"
Xiang Changkong said, "I'm just here to deliver food."
"Meal delivery?" Wei Yichen sneered, "I heard Xu Lian say that she is with you." He said, looking at Xiang Zhangkong again. Take a closer look at this kid, his face is not bad, but if Xu Lian just likes good-looking people, he should have been with him long ago.
He really couldn't understand, where did Xu Lian see him.
With a sneer in his eyes, he opened his mouth: "I saw that you helped Xu Lian last time, so I kindly reminded you that the two of you have no results. Xu Lian has never seen you like this, so she felt Fresh, when the momentum is over, do you think she will break up with you?"
Xiang Changkong pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at Wei Yichen and said, "Since you are Xu Lian's friend, please don't say that to her."
Wei Yichen snorted and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's talk about you. Do you know how much the rent for a shop in Xingguang Park is a year? Do you know how much Xu Lian's house and car are worth? After suffering hardships, what do you think you can give her when you are with her? Or do you just look at her money and want her to support you? Well, after all, the world is different now. There are a lot of men, especially good-looking men like you."
Xiang Zhangkong's hand holding the handlebars tightened slightly, and his face was much colder than before. Wei Yichen saw that he seemed angry, but raised his eyebrows with joy: "Angry? That's just right, let's fight, I promise. My brother won't do it."
Xiang Zhangkong exhaled, looked at him and said, "If I was studying, I might still fight you, but now I just think you are naive."
Wei Yichen laughed out loud: "I'm naive?" His brothers also laughed at the side: "I'm afraid you don't dare to fight with Brother Chen! We Brother Chen have never been afraid of anyone in Qingnan Lane!"
Xiang Changkong twisted the accelerator and ignored them: "Please let me go, there are still guests waiting for me to deliver the meal."
Wei Yichen stood in front of him and looked at him for a while before saying, "Let him go."
A Mao was the first to refuse: "Brother Chen!" Just let him go? Don't fight!
Wei Yichen didn't answer him, and moved away from the Changkong car. When the brothers saw that he had given up, they had no choice but to follow suit.
A Mao looked at Xiang Zhangkong riding a battery car away, and asked Wei Yichen angrily: "Brother Chen, why did you let him go so easily!"
Wei Yichen stared at Xiang Zhangkong's back for a while and called out, "Amao."
"What's the matter? Are you going to chase him back?"
"No, you go check his background for me." If he was really playing Xu Lian's bad idea, then he would definitely not let him stay by Xu Lian's side.
"Understood, I'll do it now."
Xiang Zhangkong drove the car a long way, and Wei Yichen's words kept echoing in his mind. Although he didn't go for Xu Lian's money, he was sure that he couldn't give Xu Lian anything. Even if he is admitted to graduate school, it will be a few years later when he graduates. Even if he entered Yifei Academy, the treatment would not be very high, otherwise Zhao Di would not change careers.
He can ignore these gains and losses for the cause he loves, but what about the people around him? His sister has to go to college, and his mother is in that situation. Can Xu Lian really accept his family
These problems existed from the beginning, but recently, he deliberately did not think about them.
The next day, he still cooked lunch and sent it to Xu Lian. When Xu Lian saw that he had delivered the lunch, he left and stopped him and said, "You still get off work at eight o'clock tomorrow night, right?"
Xiang Changkong said, "Well, tomorrow I plan to go home early and read a book for a while."
Hearing what he said, Xu Lian nodded and said, "Then you should read the book well, come on."
"Yeah." Xiang Changkong responded and turned away. Zhang Guoer looked at his back and said to Xu Lian, "Boss, do you think Brother Xiang is in a bad mood today?"
Xu Lian said: "Maybe it's because I've been delivering food and studying recently. I'm rather tired."
Zhang Guoer thought for a while: "Well, I feel tired just thinking about it."
Xu Lian smiled, opened the heat preservation bucket sent to Changkong, and took a sip of the soup inside.
Sure enough, it's a lot more than the takeaway soup.
After closing the store in the afternoon, Xu Lian drove the car, went to the nearby bookstore for a walk, bought a few home-cooked recipes, and then returned home. When passing the supermarket outside the community, she bought some vegetables and meat.
That night, Xu Lian opened fire at home for the first time—not cooking noodles, but cooking.
She picked tomato scrambled eggs and shredded potatoes, which were the easiest to learn from the recipe, and followed the steps to prepare them.
I have to say that she followed Xiang Changkong to cook twice, and she still learned a lot. Except for the shredded potatoes, which were not very good, everything else went smoothly.
After frying two dishes, her rice was just cooked. After putting the rice and vegetables on the table, she took a photo and passed it to Xiang Changkong.
Xu Lian: Today, I tried to cook the dishes myself, and I came to hand in my homework.
Xiang Changkong clicked on the picture she sent, and zoomed in to take a look.
Xiang Changkong: The appearance still needs to be improved, but at least it is not pasty and can be eaten.
Xu Lian: …A Kong is really strict.
Xiang Changkong hooked his lower lip almost invisible, and asked her, "Why did you think of cooking by yourself?"
Xu Lian: Well, I won't order takeout tomorrow, you don't have to bring me food, I'll bring it myself
Xu Lian: This way you don't have to make a special trip, you can spend more time reading
Xiang Zhangkong looked at the message she sent, and the color of his eyes changed a bit. In fact, Xu Lian did not make sense at all, because even if she didn't send her order, someone else's order would come in. But he knew that Xu Lian was thinking about him.
She has always been so good, but he can't give her anything.
He was silent for a while before replying to her: "Actually, you can order takeout from other places."
Xu Lian: …
Yeah... why, she didn't think about it sooner.
