Chapter One Hundred and Four
"Get out of the car. Huang Lu casually found a place at the entrance of the community and parked the car, and said to the two casually.
"Well, I'm pretty nervous. After Xu Yuanhang got out of the car, he stood in place and jumped. The temperature outside was really quite low at night, and as soon as he said a word, he let out a long line of white gas. Before the white gas could spread, it disappeared under the reflection of the warm yellow street lamp next to it.
"What are you nervous about?" Huang Lu parked the car and walked down, glanced at Xu Yuanhang and said.
"Of course I was nervous. Xu Yuanhang sighed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Huang Lu's such an understatement, and continued: "You two and Mr. He, it seems rusty to use the word old acquaintance to describe it. I have never met him, and I have to think about packing things with two outdated friends, so why can't I be nervous?"
"Who's a friend who is out of luck? The corners of Huang Lu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile of unknown meaning: "This is always that total, and the upstairs is always quite influential to you." ”
"Tell me about you two. Xu Yuanhang was quite straightforward about this, and specially ignored the ridicule in the second half of the other party's sentence.
Lin Xiao walked at the end, listening to what the two people in front of him said, his expression was a little abrupt.
Obviously after being casual for more than half a year, just when she felt that she might forget all the things about VISION before and rejected He Qixin, she could continue to start again at Fantes. But what I didn't expect was that so many people around me knew about her connection with He Qixin, or VISION.
Perhaps for others, VISION is just an ordinary company that has done relatively well in the industry. A few years later, it's just a light or heavy stroke on the resume. But for Lin Xiao, it's not just an experience.
It is the beginning and end of dreams, but it is also the end of everything.
"Hurry up, why are you still falling behind?" Xu Yuanhang didn't know when, he had already walked far ahead, and was standing in the open space below the unit building at this time, raising his chin in the direction of Lin Xiao with both hands.
"The road is slippery, beware. Huang Lu also reminded loudly.
It had been raining for a long time, and where the water on the eaves of the unit had fallen, a thin layer of moss had formed, which looked particularly slippery under the street lamp.
Lin Xiao came back to his senses at the reminder of the two, his eyes happened to fall on the moss on the ground, and he cautiously took a few steps forward. After walking through, he glanced at Huang Lu with some hindsight.
When she was stunned just now, she vaguely noticed that Huang Lu seemed to stretch out his hand, as if to pull her.
Huang Lu met Lin Xiao's puzzled gaze and smiled as if he were nothing.
Before Lin Xiao could say anything, he heard a ding, the elevator door opened, and He Qixin was standing in front of him with two bags of garbage.
He Qixin: ......
Lin Xiao: ......
"Such a coincidence?" Huang Lu smiled, took the initiative to take two steps forward, and said, "I thought it was specially here to pick us up." ”
He Qixin raised his eyebrows, and while walking in the direction of the trash can not far in front, he said without looking back: "Then you can also understand it this way." ”
"This is ......" Xu Yuanhang was rarely clever at this time, realized who the person in front of him was, and said hesitantly: "He...... Mr. He?" After speaking, he reacted, people have been friends for many years, eat a meal in private, and always come and go, maybe they will be unhappy.
"Hmm. Unexpectedly, He Qixin just nodded lightly, without any intention of letting him change his name and bring the relationship closer to the two.
Xu Yuanhang opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
can be such a cold person, except for Lin Xiao's former bullshit boss, there really will be no one else.
He Qixin's coldness is not only aimed at Xu Yuanhang, but also has the same attitude towards Lin Xiao. The two exchanged glances with each other, nodded, and didn't have any other extra words, even if they had said hello.
Several people entered the elevator and waited inside for a while. When He Qixin came back and walked into the elevator, his expression was still faint, and there was no other superfluous expression, as if he had just completed an extremely serious meeting instead of throwing out garbage. And Huang Lu and the three of them are waiting for him here, which is also a matter of course, as if waiting for the emperor to return to the court.
It's just that the emperor's "palace" is really a bit ordinary.
As busy as Lin Xiao was before, the boss of the dignified VISION, no matter how he said it, should belong to the owner of several villas. But the place they are here now is not even a high-end community.
"Why doesn't the emperor live in the palace?" After a few people entered the door, Xu Yuanhang couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
Similar to the tone of the entire community environment, the furnishings in the house are quite ordinary, and there is no such thing as the imagined golden brilliance. The old couple had been busy in the kitchen, and they didn't hear any movement outside, pots and pans collided, and the smell of fireworks suddenly surged.
The warm yellow light carries the warm aroma of bacon, firmly occupying everyone's sense of smell and thoughts. At this moment, it seems to be completely submerged in the warmth of the room.
Xu Yuanhang's heart moved for no reason, and he suddenly missed his hometown thousands of miles away and the picture of living with Qi Ji before. It's just that it seems that since the beginning of last year, the time for the two to stick together has decreased a lot, passively or actively. It was only a few months ago, but now that I think about it, it's a little blurry.
"You were also infected by Qin Yueyue?" Huang Lu looked at Xu Yuanhang, looking like he hated iron but not steel: "Why don't you learn the good ones, and you want to learn the bad ones?"
Perhaps the atmosphere and environment inside were too warm, and after the chill that had been shrouded outside dissipated, Lin Xiao was much more relaxed than before. Hearing the conversation between the two, he gently raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Where is the good thing to learn?"
Huang Lu raised his eyebrows, and the word "I" was written all over his face.
Lin Xiao let out a long sigh and didn't continue the topic, but answered Xu Yuanhang's questions in the same joking tone: "This is the home of the emperor, I have lived there for many years, and I am reluctant to move." The emperor still likes tranquility and the palace, and lives alone in a villa. ”
Xu Yuanhang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the name of the villa area that Lin Xiao said: "Sure enough, the emperor is still the emperor, and the ministers of VISION work hard, maybe they will be able to upgrade the big villa again next year." ”
"Well, then I'll tell him what you expect from him. Huang Lu said seriously.
"No, well," Xu Yuanhang also replied seriously: "If he really remembers the stubble of upgrading the villa, he will do it within half a year, then we are not the ones who have harmed VISION? ”
"If you can come to the online store and buy a few clothes by yourself before spitting, it is not a non-negotiable thing. ”
Xu Yuanhang suddenly felt like an initiation, gave Huang Lu a thumbs up, and said, "It's not impossible. ”
Lin Xiao was amused by the serious expressions of the two of them, and the string that had been tense in his heart was quietly loosened again. The lights and atmosphere in this room are so warm that it seems to be able to let go of all unhappy moments.
"What are you talking about?" He Qixin came out of the kitchen, holding a couple of goblets and a bottle of red wine.
"I'm talking about the emperor's daily life. Xu Yuanhang suddenly became very poor, and said with a smile: "Is it the legendary 82-year-old Lafite?"
"I don't like to drink Lafite. He Qixin frowned slightly, and his tone was flat: "But if you want to drink, I can also have someone send it over now." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Yuanhang was stunned, so he had to wave his hand again and again, and said, "No need, no need, I don't drink, at most drink to Sprite." ”
"Don't drink?"
Xu Yuanhang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded lightly: "Hmm." Qi Ji never allowed him to drink, after a long time, no matter what the occasion, he would habitually refuse at the first time.
He Qixin raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, and his eyes fell on Huang Lu and Lin Xiao.
"I don't drink, I have to drive. Huang Lu said without hesitation.
"Lin Xiaokai?" He Qixin said to himself: "It's rare for you to come today, and you Uncle He shouldn't let you go so easily." ”
"I don't open. Before Huang Lu could say anything, Lin Xiao said directly.
It was the first time she had said so clearly and directly since tonight.
"I'll drink it. Lin Xiao smiled, but there was no smile in his tone: "Be lively." ”
He Qixin shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue, turning to put the glass and bottle on the table next to him.
Huang Lu glanced at Lin Xiao and wanted to say something, but the words turned around his lips, and he still said, "Okay, drink, I'll be responsible for sending you back." ”
"Go and help," Xu Yuanhang glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and noticed that the two old men were almost taking the plates, so he said, "It should be almost ready." ”
"Well, let's go. Lin Xiao nodded, and after answering, a few people got up and went over.
"Tut-tut, if we want to say it, we have to be scolded, a group of young people, the Venerable Master will sit there and chatter when he eats, not wanting to help. When he got up, Xu Yuanhang couldn't help but shake his head and complained.
Huang Lu didn't care about this at all, and said: "If we want to enter Uncle He's kitchen while cooking, we are not qualified." ”
At the mention of this stubble, Lin Xiao also laughed and said: "Only professionals can enter the kitchen of He's hometown, otherwise they will be uniformly regarded as waste that gets in the way and does not deserve to go in." ”
The "rubbish that gets in the way" is so hard that he sits at the table at a leisurely pace, unmoved.
Xu Yuanhang was shocked: "Sure enough, I can't guess the affairs of the Heavenly Family at will." ”
Seeing the three of them come in, Uncle He, who was holding the bowl, stopped his movements and said to them with a smile: "Why don't you sit down well, and come in to help." ”
Huang Lu looked sincere: "I can't help, I can't help, isn't this a special way to add some kind of mess." ”
Mr. and Mrs. He immediately laughed, pointed to the dishes on the table next to them, and said, "Then bring these things out, everything has been made, just wait for the last soup." ”
Xu Yuanhang and the three of them hurriedly agreed.
"Happy New Year. After the dishes were served and everyone was seated, He Qixin said the first human word since tonight.
