Dear Chen Jiu

Chapter 66

After standing at the elevator door for a few seconds, I made a decisive decision...to take the stairs, and when I reached the second floor, my steps stopped unconsciously.

The corridors of our community are equipped with touch lights. I stood at the window on the second floor and looked downstairs by the moonlight and the street lights of the community.

In the dark, my mobile phone vibrated suddenly, and I quickly squatted down covering my pockets.

Clicking on it, it turned out to be the contact information of the driving school sent by Chen Jiu.

I replied "thank you" and turned my phone to silent mode and stood up again. Chen Jiu's car was still parked there, probably after smoking a cigarette, the car restarted and drove away in the night...

It was rare for me not to suffer from insomnia that night. My dream was full of Chen Jiu.

It's just that it's no longer him when he was a student, but Chen Jiu in a neat suit after returning to China.

I stupidly went to that hospital at the same time two days in a row to hang water, but as expected, I never saw him again.

***

In a blink of an eye, the National Day holiday is coming, and I am going to go back to Qingjiang to see my parents.

Before I left, I went to Jiangcheng Prison, but this time my uncle didn't want to see me again.

Maybe as an elder, he still doesn't want to be seen by me, a junior, who is not glamorous, I can understand.

He only handed over some daily necessities brought to him to the teacher in the prison, and then packed his luggage and returned to Qingjiang safely.

Qingjiang has not changed much, except that there are more shared bicycles and electric vehicles on the roadside.

The neighborhoods and streets are still the same. The slogan of creating a civilized city has been shouted for several years, but it is only reflected in the construction and road repairs everywhere.

The driver made several detours before taking me home.

"Hey, my eldest son has finally returned from his studies."

"Mom, I haven't graduated yet."

I sat on the sofa with my cat bag.

"Sooner or later, hey, what is this?" My mother pointed to Ping An in the cat's bag, which was poking out its small head and looking around cautiously.

"Good boy, call me grandma."

I patted Ping An's head.

"..." My mother silently helped me push the suitcase to the auntie, "By the way, Xiao Xiao is at home. You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. Let him come home for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'll chat with him on WeChat."

I take out my phone.

"Stop sending WeChat messages, why don't you just shout in the yard, you kid is so lazy now."

My mother pushed me up.

I had no choice but to hold the cat and walked to the yard, cleared my throat, "cough cough-"

Forget it, let's send a message, it's too stupid.

"Are you back?" A loud voice floated from above, I looked up and saw Lao Xiao was standing at the window of the bedroom on the fourth floor looking at me with a cigarette in his hand.

"Come over for dinner tonight."

I smiled at him and said.

He returned an OK gesture.

In the evening, at the dinner table, Lao Xiao was all-round and exquisite, and his mouth made my mother amused.

"By the way, Xiao Xiao, you will be engaged to Yuanyuan at the beginning of next month, right?" My mother asked with concern at the end of the meal.

When I heard this name, my hand holding the chopsticks froze unconsciously.

"Well," Lao Xiao put down his chopsticks, "I hope that all uncles and aunts will come over."

"Of course.

Hey, that's great, it's the most suitable age for you.

Your mother showed me a photo of that girl, it's really good, Xiao Xiao is very lucky. "

My mother sighed.

"Yeah, she's fine, it's my luck."

Old Xiao said seriously.

After dinner, Lao Xiao and I took a walk in the community to digest food.

"I'll treat you to a meal the day after tomorrow."

Old Xiao suddenly said, "It's rare that you are all back."

"you?"

"And Chen Jiu."

Old Xiao said.

I really didn't expect them to keep in touch these few years, but this seems to be quite normal, after all, we have known each other for so many years.

"The last old friend before being single?" I joked.

Lao Xiao answered me solemnly, "Well, it is."

***

The place for the dinner was the restaurant next to our high school. In fact, I never knew enough about Lao Xiao's emotional world, from the past to the present.

We rarely take the initiative to ask each other about emotional matters. If we like you, we will give it. If we want to give up, we will wait for the next person who is destined.

I only know that once he confirms the relationship, he will take his relationship very seriously. I am actually very happy that he can get out of the past.

I hope he really doesn't mind the past anymore, after all, life is going to keep moving forward.

On the way to the appointment by car, I passed the alley of Chen Jiu's house. I don't know if he still lives here when he returns to Qingjiang.

At the bus stop across the road, there are a few students in school uniforms waiting for the bus, but our school has been squeezing high school seniors one after another for ten years.

When I got to the box, Lao Xiao and Chen Jiu had already arrived. Lao Xiao pushed the menu to me and motioned for me to order.

I randomly ordered a few dishes that I used to cook for Chen Jiu when I lived with him.

One dish was sweet and sour pork.

When the dishes were served one after another, Lao Xiao began to pour wine for us. There were white and red wines on the table.

Lao Xiao used various excuses to toast me and Chen Jiu, but in fact he drank the most.

"First of all, welcome my Fa Xiao to return home."

"Congratulations to Chen Jiu for doing better and better in the past few years."

"Congratulations to Xiao Gu for finding a good internship unit."

"..."

After finishing a bunch of polite words, Lao Xiao stood up and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

The moment I raised my head, I happened to meet Chen Jiu's eyes, and we turned our eyes to Lao Xiao again.

"Celebrating my engagement next month."

That's the point of today's meal.

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations."

Chen Jiu and I said at the same time.

After we drank the wine in the cups, Old Xiao sat down.

After sitting down, Lao Xiao began to drink liquor desperately. He used to drink about the same amount as me, but there is obviously a problem with this way of drinking.

I wanted to reach out to stop him, but Chen Jiu shook his head at me.

All right, drink as you please, if you don't get drunk, you don't go home.

I stood up with a glass of wine, "Then, let's celebrate that I have a son."

Chen Jiu and Old Xiao Qi raised their heads to look at me.

……

"Well, I have a cat."

"Okay, celebrate, must celebrate.

Celebrating my childhood as a father! "Old Xiao said and filled his glass with wine.

After drinking for three rounds, there is really nothing to wish. I am really afraid that Chen Jiu will stand up and say, "Congratulations, I am getting married."

But luckily, he didn't say that.

Although I don't drink as much as they do, but red wine is mixed with white wine, and I feel like I have gold stars in my eyes.

Sitting opposite me, Chen Jiu with a star on his head looked even more charming.

Then he went out with the stars on his head, and I kept my eyes on his back...

Where is he going?

"Gu Zong," Lao Xiao suddenly turned to look at me, "I was in the restaurant downstairs of your house last time, what did you want to ask me?"

How could this guy still remember this when he was so drunk? I shook my head, the stars were gone.

Old Xiao didn't have it on his head.

"I have nothing to ask."

Old Xiao said, "I know, I know, we grew up together, can I not know what you want to ask? You are a person who is obsessed with feelings, but—"

Old Xiao added white wine to himself, "There are some things that are not useful just by me, Gu Zong, do you understand, she...she has already left.

I can't let down too many people in my life, I... I can't just blame my best brother for not being able to get out of a relationship, and I'm sorry for my family for messing up my life..."

"I have to come out, I want to be good and be a decent person.

That way she will be happy too, right? "Old Xiao seemed to be asking himself and me.

Chen Jiu happened to come in with a pot of honey water from outside.

My eyes were a little blurry, the stars above his head overlapped, and he poured a glass of honey water for Lao Xiao and me.

"I sometimes think, how can people who really love each other in this world be separated, and it's not a yin and yang separation, how much is face worth? If you don't tell me, I won't tell, how many self-righteous fools just missed it.

Since I like it, why should I be afraid of wolves and tigers, eh?Gu Zong, don't you think so? "

I looked at Lao Xiao, his eyes were red, and the pain was clearly hanging on his face.

We finally let go of our adult pretense, and I said, "Yes."

I don't want to give up, I don't want face, how much is face worth compared to Chen Jiu...

But what can I do?What should I do?

"I don't know if you still remember," Lao Xiao no longer looked at me, but stared at the opposite of Kong Kong, "Eight years ago, when Xiao Gu and I were still in the second year of high school, the four of us ate at this restaurant for a while. meal.

This is the beginning of me and her. Today, after we walk out in a while, it will be completely over. I will never mention this person again.

Lu Yuan is such a good girl, I am sorry for her.

So there will be no second her. "

At the end of the drink, Lao Xiao and I both cried.

I stared at Chen Jiu on the opposite side with naked eyes. His eye sockets were also a little red. I thought everyone had really let go. It turned out that it was just an adult's rational skin wrapped in an adult's rational skin, trying desperately to pretend.

Who has had a better life these years?

After drinking like this, Lao Xiao and I don't plan to go home, this man is so drunk that he has already started talking nonsense.

I'm going to find a hotel to sleep for the night.

Chen Jiu said, it's too late, go to my house.

"Did you drive back?" I asked him.

He shook his head.

"Will that be too troublesome? Old Xiao might go crazy with alcohol."

I supported Lao Xiao and looked at Chen Jiu again, "Did you drink so much wine today, does your stomach hurt?"

Chen Jiu didn't seem to expect that I would ask such a question suddenly, he froze for a moment and then shook his head.

"Go to your house, I will sleep with him in the same room at night."

I feel that this will kill two birds with one stone. It can take care of Lao Xiao and Chen Jiu.

Although Chen Jiu seemed to be fine, I was still worried.

"I have a car, I drove here."

Old Xiao put his arm around my shoulder and said loudly.

"Okay, okay, then I'll call a driver."

It was already one o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Chen Jiu's house.

Nothing has changed in the house, except for a black and white photo of grandma on the altar table in the living room, everything is still the same as before, clean and tidy, but a little less popular.

After we put Lao Xiao on the bed, I looked at Lao Xiao who had finally calmed down, with mixed feelings in my heart.

Chen Jiu's face was a little pale.

"Is your kitchen still available?" I asked in a low voice

"Ah."

"Then watch him for a while, I'll go to the supermarket at the intersection."

I remember that the supermarket at the entrance of the alley was open 24 hours a day. I bought some ingredients in a hurry and walked back.

In fact, I noticed Chen Jiu all night. He knew that Lao Xiao was in a bad mood, so he kept drinking with him.

I didn't eat much, and my stomach must be uncomfortable at the moment.

I went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of pumpkin soup with the ingredients I bought and brought it to the living room.

When entering the room, Chen Jiu was standing beside Lao Xiao's bed.

Old Xiao has already been turned into a side-lying position by him, so that he will not be choked by vomit.

But I thought with trepidation, has Chen Jiu ever been drunk in these years, and what was he like when he was drunk?Is there anyone taking care of it?

I made a cup of honey water and put it on the bedside table.

"I cooked you something to eat."

I tugged at Chen Jiu's sleeve, motioning him to come out with me.

Chen Jiu and I walked into the living room, staring at the bowl of rich pumpkin soup on the table in a daze.

"I have improved my cooking skills in recent years, you can try."

I folded my arms and looked at him with some pride.

"You are hungry?"

"I'm not hungry."

I smiled and shook my head at him.

Chen Jiu was pushed on the chair by me, and obediently picked up the spoon beside the bowl.

Finally, I had some little knowledge that he didn't know, so I dragged a chair and sat beside him.

Cooking pumpkin soup is not because he is afraid that he will be hungry, but to regulate the stomach after drinking.

This night, because we returned to the place we used to be familiar with, or maybe because of Lao Xiao's frankness, it became a little warmer.

"Chen Jiu, I want to visit grandma in the cemetery."

I looked at the black and white photo of grandma in the living room and said.

Chen Jiu drank the last sip of pumpkin soup, "The morning after tomorrow."

"Will we go together?"

"Ah."

"You can borrow a set of pajamas for me to wear, I want to take a bath."

I smelled the alcohol on my body.

"I didn't bring any extra back with me."

Chen Jiu put down the spoon in his hand.

"What about the old clothes you didn't wear in high school?" I asked unwillingly.

"In the locker in the room."

"Oh, then I—"

"random."

After Chen Jiu stood up, I saw that his face seemed to have softened a little.

I found a set of clothes that Chen Jiu had worn in the closet and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The clothes really haven't been worn for a long time, and they smell like mothballs.

It turns out that the clothes are very ordinary clothes, but because the person who wears them is special.

Only when I was in high school can I find its owner in the crowd at a glance. It's just that people are shining.

Not long after I went back to my room and lay down, I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, accompanied by the snoring of the drunk Lao Xiao beside me...

There was only one pillow in the room, and Lao Xiao slept soundly with half of his head on it. Chen Jiu should have slept in this room yesterday.

Sorry, brother.

I took out the pillow under Lao Xiao's head, and folded the coat I had changed into a pillow for him.

Old Xiao slept soundly and was at my mercy throughout the whole process.

I was wearing Chen Jiu's clothes, sleeping on Chen Jiu's bed, with the pillow Chen Jiu had slept on under my head, my thoughts drifting around, thinking of Lao Xiao, thinking of Lu Yuan, thinking of Chen Jiu, thinking of grandma...

About the update

New year, new update.

Happy New Year, and belated wishes, Xiao Gu, happy birthday.

Chapters 67-68

67. From now on, we will establish a good relationship, make a good couple, tie the red rope early, keep the white heads together forever, the flowers will be full and the moon will be happy, and you will swim in the sea with dry stones, and the couple will be the first to make an alliance. I would like to make this agreement

Qingjiang Longquan Cemetery.

I ordered a bouquet of white lilies in advance, I think there is no woman who does not love flowers.

Grandma was a little old lady who was always well dressed.

"Have a heart."

Chen Jiu looked at the flowers in my arms.

"Does grandma like lilies?"

"I'll like it."

Chen Jiu said.

Silent all the way.

Grandma’s tombstone was cleaned very cleanly, and the cemetery has a special caretaker who is responsible for cleaning it regularly.

Chen Jiu laid out the tributes he had brought, and I handed him the lilies and put them aside.

The old lady in the photo is smiling happily.

"Grandma, I'm Gu Zong, and I'm here to see you."

Chen Jiu and I sat quietly in front of the tombstone and spent the whole morning with grandma.

Chen Jiu brought a bottle of wine, poured a small glass and put it on the table. The old lady was really greedy for wine when she was alive.

On the way back, we were sitting in a taxi, and I asked Chen Jiu, "When will you get married?"

No matter how scared you are of some things, you have to face them.

It seemed after a long time before Chen Jiu spoke slowly, with a tired voice, "Tentatively at the end of the year."

It turns out that we are really going to get married...

***

After I came back from Qingjiang after celebrating the National Day, I devoted all my attention to work.

Alex was full of praise for me, saying that my work efficiency and work enthusiasm are among the best in the department, and I will be given a bonus at the end of the month.

When the bonus was finally paid out, the day of Lao Xiao's engagement also arrived.

The hotel is set at the junction of Qingjiang and another city, a very high-end five-star hotel.

It is enough to see how much the families of both parties attach importance to this engagement banquet.

I attended in formal attire, and finally got to meet Lao Xiao's current fiancée.

A very gentle girl who looks good when she smiles.

She was wearing a red skirt, which looked very good standing next to Lao Xiao in a suit.

They interlocked their fingers and greeted every guest sweetly.

There were only two tables of guests at the engagement banquet, and they were all close family and friends of both parties.

I know many of Lao Xiao's relatives. When some elders saw me, they enthusiastically asked me if I had a partner and when I planned to settle down.

I say work hard.

Chen Jiu came here by himself today. It's strange that his fiancée has a very weak sense of existence.

Except for the reception after returning to China, I have never seen that person again.

If I hadn't asked him in the cemetery last time, I really doubted the authenticity of this fiancée.

When the door of the banquet was pushed open, there were warm-colored balloons all over the venue, as well as overwhelming flowers, spreading straight to the ceremony stage, and the names of Lao Xiao and his fiancee were written on the screen.

When the ceremony started, the master of ceremonies came to the stage and began to sing about today's weather, the beauties on stage...

And I sat under the stage without feeling real, and my parents sat at the table of Lao Xiao's parents, smiling like two roses in full bloom.

Chen Jiu and I haven't spoken to each other since we met and said hello.

The audience suddenly fell silent, and an engagement letter was projected on the big screen, written in cursive script with a brush.

The host began to read aloud emotionally, "The betrothed, Xiao Wenxi and Yuan Yuan.

The front edge is matched, and the love is determined in this life.

A marriage contract was made on November [-], [-]... From now on, a good relationship will be established, a married couple will be married, the red rope will be tied early, the white head will be together forever, the flowers will be full and the moon will be happy, and the sea will be dry and the stone will rot, and the couple will come first Union, hereby make this agreement. "

……

On the stage are happy beauties, and off stage are relatives and friends with tears in their eyes and applauding.

Lao Xiao knelt down on one knee holding the ring, and said, "Every day in the future, we will accompany each other.

I will say good morning and good night to you every day.

I will take good care of you and take good care of your parents.

I will give you a sense of security, and I will be a responsible partner..."

I should have kept listening, but the lively atmosphere made me uncomfortable.

I remembered what Qingjiang Old Xiao told us when he was drunk, and thought that one day in the future, standing on the stage will become Chen Jiu and another woman.

I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, so I rushed to the bathroom and slapped my face with cold water.

Calm down, be calm.

But every sentence in the engagement letter is like a thorn in my heart.

Lao Xiao let go of the past to welcome a new life.

What about Chen Jiu, why did he want to get married?

Yes, why did Chen Jiu marry someone else?

I walked out of the hotel and called Chen Jiu. When the phone was connected, Chen Jiu was very quiet.

"ended?"

"almost."

Chen Jiu spoke lightly.

"You, go downstairs now, I'm downstairs in the hotel."

After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone.

I stood beside Chen Jiu's car and waited for him to get off. Although my tone was tough, I was very nervous.

I was utterly terrified and nervous about what I was going to do next.

But I have to do it, I don't do it, the next time I attend will be Chen Jiu's wedding banquet, I can't imagine.

Soon, Chen Jiu went downstairs. He was wearing a taupe coat today. I haven't had time to take a good look at him until now after the banquet.

"Open the door and get in the car."

I said strongly.

I was standing next to the co-driver, and when I heard a 'didi' sound, I opened the door and got in the car.

Chen Jiu followed closely behind. After getting in the car, he leaned on the car door to look at me.

Maybe some shameless words are only suitable for speaking in the dark.

"Don't talk, just listen to me."

In the darkness, my voice trembled a little.

"I hope you don't marry someone else."

I struggled with every word.

After saying this, my strength seemed to be drained, and I felt cold sweat on my back.

"You don't want to get married, okay?" I leaned my head back on the headrest. This is probably the most subversive thing I've ever done in my adult life.

All the pretense, forbearance, and decency I had put on after I returned to China completely collapsed at this moment.

Those engagement vows at Lao Xiao's engagement banquet hit my heart word by word.

Five years ago, it should be Lu Yuan who stood in the banquet hall to accept the marriage proposal, right?

People are gone, life should move on, but people are still there, is there really no chance for some things to change?

The voice fell, and there was silence in the car. In the silence, I could hear the sound of the watch moving in seconds.

Drop, drop, drop, drop...

It was about a moment, I'm not sure how long, because I was living my life waiting for an answer.

I heard Chen Jiu sigh inaudibly, and then leaned over to help me fasten my seat belt.

The smell of Chen Jiu came over me, it was very fragrant and delicious.

As his breath came closer to mine, I heard him say, "Okay."

I raised my hand and hugged him violently, "I heard it, you can't regret it."

I hugged him tightly, so hard that my wrist hurt a little.

"Does that mean I have a chance to chase you?"

"Think about it."

He said with a light smile, the voice fell on my ears, sweeping my heart very softly.

"You're single now, and it's only natural for me to chase you."

After saying this, the car became quiet. I hugged him, and we breathed staggeredly.

68. Still him

Chen Jiuren hugged me for a while, and after the surging emotions in my heart slowly receded, my heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

It was very dark in the car, and I couldn't see Chen Jiu's expression clearly. He took out a tissue and handed it to me, and I took it and wiped my face.

I'm really shameless, but luckily I'm shameless.

The car drove smoothly all the way to the downstairs of my house.

In the past, because he had a fiancée, I couldn't do anything.

Now that you have promised me not to get married, then everything I do should be fair and above board.

"Go to my house and sit down."

I invite.

Chen Jiu didn't speak.

I unbuckled my seat belt and moved closer to him, "May I cook something delicious for you?"

Chen Jiu was unmoved.

"I invite you to my house to see the cat."

...

"Chen Jiu, get out of the car and go to my house, thank you."

I snapped on the dome lights.

He seemed to have just reacted, and I began to reflect on whether the tone of my words just now was too strong.

When we took the elevator upstairs, I moved closer to him, "Why do you know Nanyuan Community?"

"Professional needs."

Chen Jiu said seriously.

"Then who is your original fiancée?" I was a little curious.

"Want to know?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

"Then you don't have to."

Although I guessed a bit of the truth, this identity is also strange.

When I got home, I turned on the lights in the living room.

"Sit whatever you want, watch whatever you want."

I went to the kitchen to cook a pot of lotus seed and lily porridge according to the stomach nourishing recipe posted on the refrigerator, and made an egg pancake.

When I brought it out and wanted to call Chen Jiu to eat, I found that he was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

I found a blanket to cover him, Ping An walked out of the room, walked around the sofa several times curiously, and tried to jump onto the sofa from all angles.

I carried it by the back of the neck and entered the room, "Does that mean your dad? Don't cause trouble for me, scare your dad away, and you won't have any little fish to do in the future."

I threatened.

I was afraid that this foreign cat would not understand, so I repeated it in English.

After I finished speaking, I closed the bedroom door and went back to the living room.

I squatted beside the sofa and looked at Chen Jiu carefully.

I haven't seen him for several years, and this is the first time to observe him at such a close distance. Why does this person always make himself so tired.

However, at least with me, he can rest in peace for a while.

He didn't sleep for long, and woke up in about 10 minutes.

As soon as he looked down and saw me squatting beside him, he was about to speak to me when his phone rang.

After saying a few words on the other end, Chen Jiu stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his brows, and just said that the office will talk about it tomorrow.

After speaking, he stood up holding the blanket, "Sorry, I—"

"Chen Jiu, have you lost your memory?"

I followed suit and stood up, "I'm chasing you now. I'm neither your junior, nor your difficult and annoying client at work. You don't need to tell me these things."

"Customers are not bothered."

He just woke up, and his eyelashes were still trembling when he said this.

...is that the point?

Let's do it, at least it proves that what he is doing now is indeed a job he likes. What kind of spirit of love does this have to be?

I put a bowl of hot porridge in the pot again, put the cake in the oven to heat up for a while, and brought it out again.

Ping An smelled the fragrance and began to slam the door open, and it really scratched it open this time.

I watched it run to Chen Jiu's side in one stride, stretching out its front paws eager to try.

Chen Jiu put down the spoon in his hand, looked sideways at Ping An, and Ping An jumped onto his lap very naturally, and then buried his head in his arms.

Why does this cat have two faces?

"Your cat is beautiful."

Chen Jiu patted Ping An's head and boasted.

He narrowed his eyes peacefully and comfortably.

"It's called Ping An."

I reached out and touched it too.

Chen Jiu looked up at me when he heard the name.

I moved the hand on Ping An's head to Chen Jiu's, "Eat something, and then I'll take you home.

Go to bed early at night, you're tired. "

Don't be in a hurry, don't let him face many things suddenly.

Don't let a person who puts all his mind on his career and has everything in his life be careful when facing me, it will be very tiring.

"Have you got your driver's license?" he asked me.

"Well, I actually learned it when I was abroad."

We chatted one after another.

I watched him eat the food I cooked, and after returning to China for so long, a heart that was hanging on the ground and could not be realized finally fell to the ground.

For the rest of the questions I want to ask, I am still very curious, so there is no need to rush to get answers in this one night.

It's still a long time, and I have plenty of patience.

I said I would drive Chen Jiu's car to take him home, but he didn't let go when I got entangled downstairs.

"You trust my driving skills."

"Ah."

"Then I'll take you home."

"Need not."

"..."

I grabbed his hand and stared at him closely.

"Go up."

Chen Jiu looked at me, I grabbed his hand and looked back eagerly.

He glanced at the street lights beside him, "It's very late."

"Yeah, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, how suitable it is for me to take you home."

Chen Jiu turned his gaze to me, then took his hand away, and said a word lightly, "Earth."

……

After Chen Jiu left for half an hour, I sent him a message.

--are you home yet?

It didn't take long to get a reply.

-- just arrived.

It seems that he lives not far from my place, and it will be convenient to move there and live together in the future.

--Then go to bed early!

--Um.

I found another good night emoji and sent it to him, and then sent a message to Yan Xu.

--I want to buy a car, and I will come to you tomorrow.

After posting, I took a shower and lay comfortably in bed. A lot happened that day.

When I almost fell from a height, I was caught firmly.

Lao Xiao got engaged to his fiancée, and his life entered a new stage.

And Chen Jiu's marriage contract was just a dispensable agreement, which made me feel like I was back five years ago.

Everything seems like a dream.

***

The next day, I went to a 4S store to buy a car.

"Actually, I don't recommend you to buy this one."

Yan Xu looked at me.

"It doesn't matter."

"Are you rich people buying cars so casually?"

"It has an important mission."

I touched my car and said solemnly.

"Wow wow, handsome guy, I see peach blossoms in your eyes, could it be that the second spring is coming? Oh my god, tell me quickly."

He pulled me to sit down, "You want to drive? Did you buy a car to take your girlfriend for a ride? I think you're doing very well. It's about to enter a new year, man—"

"I bought a car to deliver meals to my brother."

I interrupted him just in time.

He held his breath back to his stomach, but insisted on changing the word to finish the sentence, "People are not as good as they are, and they are reasonable."

"How many brothers do you have?" he added.

"It's still him."

I nodded.

Yan Xu heard that he first looked down at the list in his hand, and then at me, "Gu Zong, do you know, I feel that you are really back now."
