When Pei Xu got out of the car, Zhai Xingchen tilted the umbrella in his hand towards him. The rain was a little dense, and the shoulders of both of them were wet by the wind.
"If I hadn't discovered you, wouldn't you plan to come out?" Zhai Xingchen asked.
Pei Xu smiled, didn't speak, just looked at him without blinking.
Zhai Xingchen vaguely felt that Pei Xu might know where they moved. His aunt is the producer of "Red and Blue Signal", and Pei Xu is a man with a background.
"How long have you been here?" he asked.
Pei Xu said, "It's been a while."
"Since you're here, why didn't you get out of the car?" Zhai Xingchen asked.
If he hadn't had the sudden whim to look at each car, the two of them probably wouldn't have met each other.
Pei Xu said, "I just want to come downstairs and have a look."
Pei Xu actually didn't intend to come.
After making it to the last day, he was going to the West City tomorrow. After dinner, he drove the car here by accident. He actually knew about Hu Ying's coming here, and Zhou Lan even called him specifically to tell him.
He didn't mean to compete with Hu Ying when he came here. Whether it was the past Beicheng Station or the next Xicheng Station, it might be enough for Zhai Xingchen. After a few days of rest, don't let him Zhai Xingchen has endured these Shura field.
He just wanted to take a look from afar.
The wind was a little strong, and the rain was a little too heavy. An umbrella couldn't cover the two of them at all. Seeing that Zhai Xingchen's shoulders were wet, Pei Xu said, "Go in, I saw you too."
His voice was very soft, and when the wind blew, the rain was so loud that it almost disappeared into the wind and rain. I just came downstairs to have a look, and I saw you anyway, this ordinary words, but he expressed a sincere sense of humbleness, such a euphemistic and honest Pei Xu, on the contrary aroused Zhai Xingchen's compassion, he Pursing his lips, he looked around and said, "Would you like to go up and sit down?"
"I'm not going, you should rest earlier," Pei Xu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shout, "Stars."
Zhai Xingchen looked back, it was Zhai's father.
Holding an umbrella, Papa Zhai looked at the man behind him in surprise.
Pei Xu came to his senses first, stood upright quickly, bent slightly and said, "Hello, Uncle."
Papa Zhai approached a little closer, and immediately said with a smile: "It's Xiao Pei, I just said it, why does it look so familiar!"
Zhai Xingchen was a little embarrassed and asked, "Why did you come down?"
Zhai's father said: "Your mother said that she wanted to cook you some eight-treasure porridge tomorrow, and I'll come down to buy some jujubes... Xiao Pei is just here, don't let people stand outside."
"No, I'll go back after I've come to talk to him." Pei Xu said with a smile.
Zhai's father smiled: "It's already here, go up and sit down, we just moved to a new house, you go up first, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something."
After saying that, Papa Zhai walked towards the small supermarket next to him.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Pei Xu and said, "Then let's go."
Pei Xu said, "Is there a fruit shop near here?"
He hadn't planned to go into the house, so he didn't bring anything with him.
"You're welcome." Zhai Xingchen said, "Hu Ying bought so much fruit that our refrigerator can't fit. You don't need to buy anything."
"Then let me buy a bouquet of flowers. You just moved." Pei Xu immediately regained his energy: "Why don't you go with me and come back in a while. I don't want to come to the door empty-handed."
Zhai Xingchen had no choice but to say, "There's a flower shop at the corner ahead."
They walked towards the flower shop together, when Pei Xu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the handle of the umbrella, Zhai Xingchen thought he was going to take the umbrella from him, but Pei Xu just held the umbrella and gently moved towards him. Pushed a bit, then held on and didn't let go.
He holds it at the bottom, and Pei Xu holds it at the top.
Coming out from under the bushes, the rain became more dense, the ground was glowing with wet lights, and occasionally cars passed by. The umbrella tilted a lot towards him, and the other side of Pei Xu's body was wet. Zhai Xingchen smelled the familiar scent of mint again, this time the scent was very light and cold, stained with the moisture of rain. He glanced at Pei Xu's hand and said, "Has your chilblains improved a lot in the past two days?"
"It's much better." Pei Xu said, "I went to the clinic run by my friend again, and reapplied the medicine. Today, it's not so itchy."
Zhai Xingchen laughed when he heard that.
Pei Xu turned to look at him, his heart pounding when he laughed. Just like when they first met.
Zhai Xingchen suddenly thought of a stalk, it is said that all the male protagonists in Jinjiang will have a doctor friend, this doctor friend is on call 24 hours a day, and will say "You have to be more restrained" when the male protagonist goes too far "ah.
Hahahahahaha.
I didn't expect it to be so!
"Is your doctor friend Fa Xiao?" He asked.
"right."
Zhai Xingchen looked at Pei Xu with a smile.
Pei Xu smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhai Xingchen shook his head with a smile: "Where is your other hand?"
Pei Xu said, "It's all good too."
As he said that, he raised his other hand to give him a look. The redness and swelling on the back of his hand had also disappeared, and he returned to his usual whiteness.
Pei Xu put down his hand and glanced at Zhai Xingchen again. He saw that Zhai Xingchen was still smiling, his ears were slightly red, and the raindrops were dripping onto his hanging hand, which was icy cold.
"You make me nervous when you laugh," Pei Xu said.
Zhai Xingchen stopped laughing when he heard this, and the atmosphere was cool.
Zhai's father had just entered the supermarket, so he called Zhai's mother: "Pei Xu is here, and he's going to our house later, so pack up quickly."
Mother Zhai asked in surprise, "Pei Xu? He's here too?!"
"I just came out and saw him talking to Xingchen at the gate of the community. Don't talk, I'll go up after I buy something."
After hanging up the phone, Mother Zhai immediately tidied up the tea table and sofa. When Pei Xu came to the door suddenly, she suddenly became nervous. She went to wash some fruit, and tidied up the shoes at the entrance by the way. Well, I heard a knock on the door.
Looking through the cat's eyes, she saw Pei Xu holding a bouquet of flowers and standing behind Zhai Xingchen.
She opened the door, and Pei Xu nodded obediently and said hello: "Good evening, Auntie."
Cool temperament, shy smile, noble and honest!
Mother Zhai smiled and said, "Xiao Pei is here, come in quickly."
Zhai Xingchen saw that Pei Xu had been very nervous in the elevator just now, fearing that he would be embarrassed, he immediately said, "Mom, Pei Xu bought you flowers."
When Pei Xu heard the words, he immediately handed over the flowers in his hand, and Mother Zhai took them over and said with a smile, "This is the first time someone has given me flowers. It's so beautiful!"
Mother Zhai was obviously also a little nervous, her voice was louder than usual, and she was a little deliberately happy. Zhai Xingchen smiled, and took out a pair of unworn slippers from the shoe cabinet. The two pairs of new slippers were connected by a tag. He pulled it, but it didn't break, so he asked Mother Zhai: "Scissors Woolen cloth?"
"Just find me a pair." Pei Xu said.
"In the drawer." Zhai Xingchen's mother said.
Zhai Xingchen took the scissors and cut it open, and put the slippers under Pei Xu's feet.
Pei Xu took off his leather shoes and put them on.
He rarely wore leather shoes, so Zhai Xingchen asked, "Did you go to work today?"
"At a relative's birthday party," Pei Xu said.
"I said, why are you wearing a suit today?"
Mother Zhai held the flowers and watched Zhai Xingchen talk to Pei Xu.
This was the second time that Pei Xu came to their house. She remembered that when Pei Xu came last time, Zhai Xingchen was as surprised as they were, and he was a little embarrassed to be polite to Pei Xu. But when Pei Xu came back this time, he could see that the relationship between the two of them was much more familiar than before, and they were much closer and more natural.
She looked at it with a smile, met Pei Xu's gaze, and said with a smile, "Come in."
Pei Xu is dressed more formally today, black suit, white shirt, and black socks. What Zhai Xingchen found for him is a pair of black slippers. The whole thing is only black and white, clean to the end, but he has a fair complexion, and his facial features are more handsome. Noble and upright.
This formed a great contrast with Hu Ying. Hu Ying's colors were bright, and her clothes were young and fashionable. The two of them were like ice and fire. As soon as the front foot left, the back foot arrived. Mother Zhai was still feeling that Hu Ying was good. Now that she saw Pei Xu, she only had Pei Xu in her eyes again.
I can't blame her for taking a look at one of them. They are all too handsome and outstanding. How can young people with such conditions be met in real life.
Not to mention the filters on the TV.
"Are you a little thinner?" she asked Pei Xu.
Pei Xu smiled and said, "A little bit."
"You sit and you sit." Zhai's mother put down the flowers and said.
Just as Pei Xu sat down, he heard the door open. Zhai's father came back after shopping.
Pei Xu immediately stood up again.
Zhai Xingchen looked back at Pei Xu, he felt that Pei Xu was even more nervous than when he came last time, but Pei Xu would be strong in front of others, Zhai Xingchen thought when he pursed his lips and pretended to be calm. Smiling, Pei Xu sensed his gaze, glanced at him, and hurriedly greeted Papa Zhai.
Papa Zhai waved his hand: "You sit down."
Papa Zhai put down the things he bought, coughed lightly, and sat down.
Only then did Pei Xu sit down.
Zhai Xingchen poured a cup of tea for Pei Xu, and Zhai's father said: "This little Hu brings good tea, it is said to be..."
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to mention Hu Ying at this time, so he laughed twice. Mother Zhai brought up the fruit again, and said with a smile, "Eat the fruit."
Zhai Xingchen guessed exactly as he guessed, his parents treated Pei Xu completely differently from Hu Ying, when Hu Ying came they only had enthusiasm, how could they be so polite and embarrassing as they are now.
However, as an old-fashioned straight man, Papa Zhai still showed the demeanor of a general at this time. He calmly asked with the air of an elder: "Has Xiao Pei eaten?"
"He came after attending the birthday party." Zhai Xingchen said.
"Oh, is that so?" Papa Zhai picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Pei Xu: "Drink tea, drink tea."
Pei Xu also took a sip from his teacup.
The tea was good tea, and his eyes fell on the tea box next to it. The tea box was silver and white, very delicate, with dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it.
It seems that Hu Ying also spent a lot of money this time.
There are also a lot of fruits at home, and there are several baskets piled up next to the refrigerator.
The four fell into a brief silence. Zhai Xingchen was very comfortable at first, but he was a little embarrassed by the atmosphere.
"Aren't your uncles and aunts in good health?" Pei Xu asked suddenly.
"Everything is fine." Papa Zhai said, "How are you doing now? I heard you were sick when you were in Beicheng?"
"That's not him." Zhai Xingchen said.
Zhai's father said awkwardly: "Then I remember wrong."
"Is he frostbitten on his hands?" Mother Zhai said.
"It's all ready," Pei Xu said.
"That's good, that's good." Papa Zhai said.
Zhai Xingchen rarely sees Zhai's father so embarrassed.
He plans to go out on his own.
He asked Pei Xu: "Have you packed your luggage? Did you see the notice from the program team?"
Pei Xu said, "I packed it up yesterday. What about you?"
"I'm still close."
"He brought a lot of things this time," Zhai's mother said, "two more boxes than last time."
In the south city, T-shirts are the main thing to wear. Occasionally, it is enough to wear a jacket when the weather is cold. Needless to say, in the north city, it is cold and freezing, and people go in and out with down jackets, but the west city is different. But the overall temperature is neither high nor low, which is very suitable for a fashion show. The program team asked them to dress brightly. According to Hu Ying, he brought more than 20 sets of clothes this time, and he wanted to have two sets a day without repeating the same.
"How many days are you going to record this time?" Papa Zhai asked.
"It seems to be six days tentatively." Pei Xu replied seriously.
"Then have you taken care of your work?" Papa Zhai asked again.
"It's all arranged in advance." Pei Xu said, "The rest can also be handled remotely."
Papa Zhai asked him about a topic that middle-aged men are particularly interested in: "I heard that you are a stock fund, and you are doing very well?"
"Yes, I am a fund, and my performance this year is not bad." Pei Xu said modestly.
"He is the number one of the year." Zhai Xingchen said, "This year's income seems to be 120."
Zhai's father said in surprise: "Then you are very good, the market will not be good this year."
As soon as stock funds, one of the favorite topics of middle-aged and elderly men, was mentioned, Papa Zhai’s chatterbox opened up, saying how much his colleagues had lost in this year’s stock market shocks, and then talked about the domestic economic situation and the global economic situation, and began to talk stand up. He usually likes to study stocks and pay attention to current affairs and politics. Pei Xu specializes in finance, so his vision is naturally different. Papa Zhai chatted with Pei Xu for a while, and his eyes lit up.
That is the admiration of men for men, the appreciation of elders for younger generations!
Mother Zhai went to the kitchen to cut cantaloupe, and Zhai Xingchen went to help. Through the glass door, she heard Pei Xu's unhurried speech and Father Zhai saying "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
Mother Zhai said, "Your dad has found a bosom friend this time, and he has someone to talk about economics with."
Different from the hasty meeting last time, this time Papa Zhai and Pei Xu chatted very happily, and they chatted for an hour and a half without knowing it. It was Mama Zhai who saw the time was too late and reminded him tactfully. Papa Zhai was still full of ideas, and wanted to send Pei Xu out, but Pei Xu smiled and said, "You don't have to."
"It's okay, I'll take you downstairs." Papa Zhai said.
Mother Zhai tugged at his arm: "Then we won't send you off, Xingchen, you can."
The two of them watched Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen enter the elevator, the elevator door closed, and Dad Zhai went back to the room and closed the door and said, "This kid is not bad."
Zhai's mother said, "I see that you like him."
"It's really good. Knowledgeable, polite, and honest." Zhai's father commented, "The personality doesn't seem so boring."
The father-in-law has their own set of rules when it comes to their son-in-law. They generally don't pay much attention to family background and appearance, but more to their temper and ability.
Pei Xu obviously has a temper with him, and he has the ability!
"His job is good, he earns a lot, and it's a serious job, and he's stable... and has a stable personality," Papa Zhai added.
Aside from emotional factors, stability is what he values most.
"Of course, the most important thing is that Xingchen himself likes it."
The other party is Zhai Xingchen's object first, and his son-in-law second.
"Do you think Xingchen likes him?" Papa Zhai asked.
Mother Zhai thought for a while and said, "It seems to be better than Xiao Hu. But I don't want to say whether Xing Chen likes him or not, he obviously likes Xing Chen very much."
There was light in Zhai Xingchen's eyes.
The rain outside had stopped. Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen left the community together. His steps were light and his mood was even lighter.
This visit was obviously very successful, and Papa Zhai obviously liked him very much.
It was already late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. Zhai Xingchen walked him to the car, held an umbrella and said, "Be careful on the road."
Pei Xu said, "Hu Ying will pick you up tomorrow, right?"
"And Wen Nuo, the three of us should go to the airport together." Zhai Xingchen said, "What time did the program team notify you?"
"This time there is no order, everyone will go together." Pei Xu said, "It seems that there will be no house division this time, and everyone will live in the dormitory together."
Zhai Xingchen was taken aback for a moment.
He doesn't know.
It's actually a collective dormitory!
The program team is also very good at playing!
God, he can't even sleep at night.
"you do not know?"
"They didn't tell me." Zhai Xingchen said.
Pei Xu said, "It's probably the program crew's fault, and they deliberately didn't tell you."
Zhai Xingchen smiled helplessly and said, "Okay."
The two stood facing each other for a while, when a gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled and dropped water droplets. Zhai Xingchen hurriedly said, "Get in the car."
Pei Xu didn't move.
He really didn't want to leave.
Now he can understand those nasty love scenes in film and television dramas. Those scenes where you send me off and I send you off repeatedly, or we will meet tomorrow and tomorrow, and I still reluctantly go back to the dormitory downstairs.
I was reluctant to leave, and always wanted to stay a little longer.
How could Zhai Xingchen not know what he was thinking. Jinjiang Gong is clingy when it comes to love.
Pei Xu didn't find a reason to stay there and didn't want to leave, so he just stood there and smiled.
"Hurry up." Zhai Xingchen said, "Don't get bored."
