When I got back to the restaurant, all I could think of was to call Di Ming.
However, I was afraid that I would be too rash to do so, so I thought I should ask my cousin first, and ask her what Di Ming has been working on these days.
I walked over to my cousin with a grin on my face. She was tidying up her things. She looked at me and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sister qi, why haven't you seen Di Ming for the past two days?" I sat next to my cousin with one hand on the counter.
My cousin looked up at me but didn't say anything.
"What is di ming busy with these two days?"
"Why don't you just ask him what I'm doing? I don't know." Cousin said angrily.
"You're not..."
"We are not!" My cousin interrupted me with a determined light in her eyes.
I sighed helplessly and said, "Aren't you going to accept Di Ming?"
"You want to accept it. You can accept it."
"... I stood up and stopped talking to my cousin. I was so angry that I had to hide.
I walked to the backyard and took out my phone, but my mood was a little low. I've always disliked asking for help, especially from friends who weren't that close, so it was really hard to say, but I still made the call.
Soon, Di Ming got through. It seemed that the boss wasn't that busy.
"What is it, Xing Yun?" Di Ming's rough voice came from the microphone.
"I... Just talked to my sister and said I haven't seen you for a few days."
"Oh. I'm outside now, not in Pucheng."
"Oh, I say. How are things with my sister?"
"That's it. Just keep chasing. I've figured it out too. I can't pursue your sister too materialistically. I'd better use my heart to impress her." Di Ming said, "Hey, but the most important thing now is that I'm too busy. This is really a terrible thing. In a hurry, I threw away the billions of dollars."
If I heard billions of dollars from others, I would really take it as a joke, but Di Ming, this must not be true anymore.
"Damn!" When I heard what Di Ming said, I couldn't help but curse. I couldn't help but express my surprise.
Di Ming is so rich. People talk about billions of dollars in business. Compared to us, we really exist like ants!
"I'll be back in a few days. I'll go and have a drink with you then. Drinking with these old foxes is too boring. It's too slippery. It's boring to drink like his mother." Di Ming said gloomily.
I rolled my eyes. She was too slippery. That must be because di ming was too good at drinking.
I also know why Di Ming is willing to drink with me. Honestly, drink as much as you can in your glass, and give up your life to accompany your son.
I sighed and thought, am I stupid?
"Anything else?" Di Ming asked again.
"Di uncle, there's something I really need your help with." I finally said.
"What's up? Say it."
"I have a friend," I told Di Ming about Lin Ya and Ling Xinyan's photo shop.
Di Ming replied briskly, "That's all right, I know. I'll be back in two days. Let them rest for two days. I'll go back and find someone."
I heard Di Ming's tone very relaxed, as if this matter was not difficult for him. I can't help but be happy, but don't be too optimistic until things are resolved.
...
Not long after, the restaurant began to welcome guests and we began to enter a busy prelude.
We were busy as usual. I walked out the door and looked. It was getting dark. The whole of Pucheng was dark. The cars on the road were lit up, but Hu Zi hadn't come yet.
I can't help but worry. Why is Hu Zi back so late?
I was afraid that Hu Zi would disturb him in his car, so I didn't call him.
At this moment, Xiaoyi walked to my side. Her eyes looked into the distance, and there was a complicated light in them. She whispered to me, "Is Hu Zi coming back tonight?"
I didn't notice anything unusual about Xiaoyi. I smiled and asked, "Didn't you call Hu Zi?"
Xiaoyi shook his head a little lonely.
I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyi sighed, her eyes misty. She bit her lips and said, "I don't know what my relationship with Hu Zi is anymore."
I looked at Xiaoyi doubtfully, not understanding what she meant by that.
"A couple." I added, "An underground couple."
"Do you think we look like lovers?" Xiaoyi looked at me and asked.
I don't know what to say. The relationship between Hu Zi and Xiaoyi is really too deep, so I rarely see their love or affection. Maybe I was too preoccupied and neglected a lot of things.
Xiaoyi seemed to know that I couldn't answer. She turned around and said, "Have you ever seen a couple like us? Hiding underground, no one knew. Do you know? I thought such a hidden relationship might be sweeter, but I was wrong. We were the boss and the staff in the restaurant. After work, we rarely went out on dates, and even rarely called. Is this a relationship? I really..."
Xiaoyi's face was a little tired. She took a moment to calm down and said, "I really don't feel like Hu Zi is my boyfriend. It's like I've never been her girlfriend. Our relationship isn't like a couple, it's more like..."
Xiaoyi didn't continue. I felt bad looking at her in pain. I didn't expect her to be so depressed! However, the depression seemed to indicate that her feelings for Hu Zi were deeper than I thought.
"I think you can talk to Hu Zi when he comes back. You have to communicate more about relationships." I pursed my lower lip. I thought what I said was nonsense. Who doesn't understand?
Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly became firmer. She took a deep breath and said, "When Hu Zi comes, I intend to make our relationship public."
It would be better if she made it public. I support her making it public. I smiled and said, "Okay, when Hu Zi comes, you two can discuss it."
Xiaoyi looked into the distance with expectation, but he could only be disappointed. She sighed again and turned back to the restaurant.
I didn't wait for Hu Zi on purpose. I just stood at the door and looked at the traffic in front of me. By now, it was almost dark, and the street lights were on, adding a soft layer of light to the street.
I squatted outside to breathe.
I suddenly felt that bad things were starting to happen again and again like before.
This made me a little scared!
At this moment, Xiaolian came out again and came to my side. She looked at me and looked at the road like Xiaoyi. There was a lot of traffic. Even if Hu Zi came, we wouldn't be able to see him unless he came to the restaurant.
"Is our boss back today?"
"Who knows." He said he came back.
I glanced at Xiaolian. It seemed that Hu Zi had a high place in everyone's heart. Everyone was very concerned about him.
Xiaolian did not stay at the door much longer. After a few glances, he returned to the restaurant.
After a while, I went back to the hotel. I think Lin Ya slept a lot longer. He should be awake. I walked to the backyard, and as soon as I got to the backyard, I saw Lin Ya coming out of the room.
She smoothed her hair and looked as if she had just woken up.
I smiled at her and said, "I'm awake."
Lin Ya nodded weakly, then she went to the bathroom to wash her face.
"How long did I sleep?" After coming out, Lin Ya rubbed his temples, looked at the already dark sky and asked.
"It's been hours anyway. Can you sleep tonight?" I looked at Lin Ya and wondered if she had drunk too much today.
I don't think so. She's not that bad at drinking.
"Are you hungry?" I asked with concern.
Lin Ya shook his head.
She added, "Then I'll go first."
I saw that she was in a bad state and quickly said, "Forget it. You should take a break. Look at you now. You look listless. I'll send you back when you're done."
Lin Ya didn't say anything. Her eyes were a little dazed. After a while, she said, "I think I should move somewhere else."
"What?" I don't understand what Lin Ya means.
Lin Ya said, "The cake shop will be renovated tomorrow. The photo shop and the cake shop, I have to be closer to one place. I can't be so far away from both places. It would be nice to find a place near here. It's closer to the cake shop and the photography shop. It's almost as close to the original house."
So Lin Ya was talking about moving. I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you and see where you can rent a house nearby."
In fact, Lin Ya didn't need to rent a house. The photo shop she and Ling Xinyan rented had a second floor. Lin Ya could live there after a simple cleaning, but the place might be smaller. But since she wants to live here, just worry about her.
Then I went to work, and Lin Ya rested in the hall.
Hu Zi hasn't come yet.
After we were done with the restaurant, it was almost closed, but Hu Zi still didn't come!
I called Hu Zi and he didn't answer, which made me worry a lot more.
Then, everyone gradually left, and Old Gao and I stayed here with my cousin and Lin Ya. I wanted to send Lin Ya away, but Lin Ya said she would leave when Hu Zi came. She was worried about Hu Zi, and I didn't force her. A few people stayed to wait for Hu Zi.
Cousin went back to the backyard first. There were only three of us left in the empty room, and the three of us did not talk. The hall became unusually quiet. Before the noise of the guests had dissipated, there seemed to be a buzzing sound in her ears.
The three of us haven't eaten yet. I've been thinking about waiting for Hu Zi to come back, but what's wrong with him? He hasn't come yet?
Today will be over in two hours!
Just like that, the three of us sat there, and the bright lights in the hall were a little dazzling, which made me even more annoyed!
I looked outside, full of sorrow, and sighed heavily, but I couldn't see through the night. I couldn't see where Hu Zi was now.
