After work, Gu nianbin is still sitting in the office. Zhou Ting lingers outside for a long time, but he doesn't come out. After thinking about it, she still stands on the door and knocks: "boss, I have a dinner appointment with Miss Xia in the evening. It's almost time."
Gu nianbin said, slowly stood up, put on his coat, and asked, "has my clothes been sent to you?"
"I only bought some changes. The coat you usually wear just doesn't have the size. It will arrive tomorrow, so..."
"It doesn't matter. I'll change it tonight." Gu nianbin came to her and stopped. She seemed to have something to tell her. She frowned and went out without saying anything.
Zhou Ting knew that he must want to say something about Du Xiaoxian. She summoned up the courage to catch up: "boss, Xiaoxian, she..."
Gu nianbin was originally a calm face, but when she mentioned Du Xiaoxian, her face took a little anger: "don't worry about her."
Words are very short, voice is very cold, Zhou Ting knew that can not go on. She stood at the door and watched Gu nianbin go away. How could she not understand what Du Xiaoxian had done to make the boss angry? Du Xiaoxian and I have never been in a mood before, but no matter how we make it, we have never lived apart. This time, it's really big.
After struggling for a long time, she called Du Xiaoxian and asked, "Xiaoxian, did you quarrel with the boss?"
Du Xiaoxian was silent for a moment, and then he whispered.
Zhou Ting said, "Xiaoxian, how can you quarrel with your boss at this festival? You are pushing him to Xia Xiaowan. Do you know that they have dinner together tonight? "
"Sister Zhou," Du Xiaoxian's voice came from the other end of the phone, but it was very quiet: "it doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."
Zhou Ting was so angry: "are you very well? You all had a fight. Good? Xia Xiaowan has always been covetous of the boss, but you are kind-hearted. I tell you, call the boss or kill him directly. I will send you the address later. At this time, you must show some momentum. Last time Nina and I taught you, didn't you forget? "
"Sister Zhou, I haven't eaten the noodles yet. It will be cold later. Thank you for telling me that." She meant to end the conversation, but she didn't hang up. She was still used to waiting for Zhou Ting to hang up first.
Zhou Ting breathed a deep breath and wanted to make more efforts: "Xiaoxian, men and women are to coax, the boss loves you so much, as long as you..."
"Sister Zhou, the noodles are really cold." Du Xiaoxian interrupted her. She really didn't want to listen to it any more.
Zhou Ting knew that Du Xiaoxian couldn't make sense. The little girl was so single-minded that no one could do anything about it. She had to think about it again and close the doors and windows of a person at home. Be careful
"I know," Du Xiaoxian seemed relieved. "Thank you, sister Zhou."
Hung up the phone, she sat staring at the noodles on the table, knowing that Gu nianbin would not come back for dinner, but as soon as they separated, he asked Xia Xiaowan for dinner. Xia Xiaowan was still in his heart. He said so much and confessed so much. In fact, they were all in vain.
Although she knew that she was not worthy of him, Gu nianbin expressed her feelings to her again and again. During this period of time, she hoped that all these things would be solved suddenly. She would return to the time when there was no Xia Xiaowan and when Gu nianbin was not in pain. But all this is in vain!
The heart is sad as if standing in a wilderness, nothing, only she stood alone in the wind shivering. Eyes fixed on the bowl of beef noodles, finally is a blink, a tear fell into the bowl, very light, very light, and did not ripple any waves, as if never happened.
The bowl of noodles was actually cold before Zhou Ting called. I didn't move a mouthful, because there was a little lard in it, and the white oil was floating in the soup. But it didn't spoil the whole bowl of noodles. She learned cooking noodles secretly. Every time she thought about bin cooking noodles, she would look in the kitchen and write down the order carefully. Seeing that she was willing to learn, she would also teach her some tips, such as minced beef, sprinkling scallions out of the pot, and adding some lard would make it more delicious
It's not easy to make a small bowl of beef noodles. Every procedure is memorized in my heart and never practiced. But I don't know why I want to do it today. She did it very slowly, as if it was some delicate work. At last, the noodles were taken out of the pot and put in the bowl with green vegetables and tender beef. The aroma was very delicious. No matter whether it's good or not, at least it looks good. It's much better than the pimples she cooked before.
Such a bowl of noodles placed in front of her, if it is normal, she must be a big stir, long can't wait to take chopsticks to eat. But today, she just sat in a daze. It's like making such a bowl of noodles is just to enjoy the process, not to eat.
When she did it, she was so absorbed that she didn't think about anything. Her heart was very peaceful. But once she finished, she jumped out of the realm of selflessness and returned to reality. She couldn't help but start to think wildly.
What did Gu nianbin take Xia Xiaowan to eat? Will you take her where they've been? No, they have more memories, just like the cake shopGu nianbin and Xia Xiaowan sat in the private room of a Chinese restaurant and ate while Du Xiaoxian was at home.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you'd like to eat, but I wanted to have some liquor, so I ordered a Chinese restaurant," Gu said
Xia Xiaowan Yingying smile: "it doesn't matter, I don't care." She thought Gu nianbin would order Western food because she liked the atmosphere, but now he said he didn't know what she wanted to eat
"What do you want to say to me?" Gu nianbin poured wine for himself and said, "don't drink white wine. You can drink juice."
Xia Xiaowan said: "no, I drink too. I'm too depressed."
Gu nianbin looked at her and said, "OK, you can have some." He also poured a glass of wine to Xia Xiaowan.
Two people touched the cup, thinking bin sipped a small sip of wine, high concentration of liquor, the entrance is spicy, he can not help frowning: "what are you holding back?"
"Nothing," said Xia Xiaowan glumly, "it's just that it's too difficult to live."
"How can you be so pessimistic?" Gu nianbin sandwiched a chopsticks dish: "this is not like your character?"
"People can change," Xia Xiaowan said with a wry smile: "brother nianbin, in fact, I shouldn't ask you out. Now there are rumors all over the place. If people see me with you, wouldn't they just fight against themselves?"
"Do you mind this?" Gu nianbin squinted at her.
"I'm afraid you mind." Xia Xiaowan stares at his eyes.
"Me?" Gu nianbin's mouth slightly curved, seems to be smiling, half ring said: "I have nothing to mind."
"Good!" Xia Xiaowan suddenly said in a loud voice: "for your sake, cheers." She raised her glass, did not touch it, but raised her neck to drink the wine.
Gu nianbin hesitated for a while and dried up the wine, saying, "don't drink so hard. Be careful to get drunk."
"I just wish I was drunk," Xia Xiaowan chuckled twice, with a sad and lonely smile: "brother nianbin, I think my life is really bad. I didn't know how to cherish and missed you. Now I want to go back, but you fall in love with others. I just want to have a meal with you like an ordinary friend. I'm afraid of being criticized. I want to rob my boyfriend. I really don't know what to do. " She stopped to pour a cup for herself and filled it with Gu nianbin. Then she said, "I thought I would have a better time when I came back to my relatives and friends, but there was no such thing as apathy. I just wanted to see my jokes. This world is really indifferent. Maybe I did something wrong and should not come back."
She laughed again, poured the wine into her mouth, and added more wine, but she looked down at the gold lined goblet and stopped talking.
Gu nianbin put a chopstick dish in her bowl: "you don't patronize drinking, also eat order dish."
"Thank you nianbin elder brother," Xia Xiaowan put vegetables into his mouth to send: "if you want to say who is good to me now, it can only be brother nianbin."
"Why is it just me? Do your parents and Nanze treat you badly?"
"Of course they are good to me, but," Xia Xiaowan dried up the wine again. "My parents are old and don't want them to worry about me any more. My brother is in charge of Xiashi now and has a heavy burden. I don't want him to be distracted by me. So a lot of things can't be said to them, so I have to keep it in my heart. I feel like I'm stuck in the mud. I can't go up and down again. I don't know what to do. "
"I'm sorry, Xiao Wan," Gu nianbin said. "I didn't know it would cause you such a torment."
"Brother nianbin, you said you could compensate me last time, didn't you?"
Xia Xiaowan wants to pour wine again, and is held down by Gu nianbin: "don't drink, you are almost drunk."
"You let me drink it," Xia Xiaowan looked at him, his eyes slowly exuded tears, "I feel bad, very uncomfortable."
Gu nianbin looked at her for a while, released his hand, "how do you want me to compensate you?"
"I'm not happy at this time," Xia Xiaowan said, filling his glass with tears. "I always want to talk to someone, but I don't know who else to look for except you."
Thinking bin moved his lips and was about to speak, Xia Xiaowan said, "of course, I know it's on the cusp of the storm now. I can't find you. Besides, you are still so busy. I'm just saying casually, you, don't take it to heart. It's boring. You can't get sick anyway. "
"Xiaowan," Gu nianbin was not happy at all. Seeing Xia Buwan like this, he was not happy. "I'm very sad to see you like this. I hope you are as happy as before. You don't need to pay attention to what others say. Even if we meet, we don't need to explain anything to others. If you are really bored, just call me and I'll talk to you Is that ok? "
Xia Xiaowan wiped a tear, smile, "still read bin elder brother to me best."
