At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Rin, who had been busy all day, stretched his waist and raised his eyes to look at Yue Qun, who was still typing across the table.

"You can leave when you're done, and leave me alone. Yue Qun suddenly spoke, but his hand did not stop for a moment.

"Mr. Yue, aren't you leaving?" Xue Rin turned off the laptop and closed it, rubbing his sore shoulder.

"I didn't know what to do when I got home. ”

"You don't party with friends on weekends?"

It was the first time that Xue Rin had asked Yue Qun about this kind of question involving his privacy, but according to his judgment, Yue Qun would not have any scruples about this matter.

"Those so-called friends of mine, when I went bankrupt a few years ago, all became strangers, and then I came to Qianxiang, and I disappeared when someone looked for me, everyone knows what is going on, there is no need to pretend to be stupid. ”

Yue Qun raised his head in front of the notebook, and indifferently told Xue Rin about the past, completely without the flamboyance and domineering of his youth, time and circumstances are really a sharp weapon for polishing stubborn stones, no matter how sharp the stone is, it will become smooth and transparent.

"It's you kid, I saw you full of spring this morning, what's the matter, you're in love?" Yue Qun got up and went to the water dispenser to pour water, and brought Xue Rin an extra cup when he came back.

"I'm such a high-quality man, falling in love is naturally a routine operation!" Xue Rin picked up the water cup and drank it all proudly.

"Then you're still coming to work overtime with me today? If you don't accompany your girlfriend on weekends, she can't be angry?"

According to Yue Qun's pitiful emotional experience, women have always been an elusive and unpredictable species.

Yue Qun was an out-and-out activist in college, he must have been present in various competitions, and entrepreneurial activities were something he had always been keen on, but as a man of the year in school, he had never been in love once, firstly, because he was not here at all, for him, chasing his career and life ideals would make him excited, and secondly, because he has always believed that a man with a career and wealth is afraid that he will not find a satisfactory wife?

But the reality is very ironic, he met his ex-wife when he was complacent, although he didn't have much affection, but the other party was always a small bourgeoisie who returned from overseas with outstanding temperament and good looks, for him at that time, "matching" was far more important than "deep love", so the two naturally fell in love and got married.

After marriage, he gradually realized that he couldn't figure out what a woman wanted in his life, his ex-wife wanted him to often accompany him to travel and shop abroad, and he also wanted him to ensure the continuous improvement of material wealth, from falling in love to divorce, Yue Qun never even ate a meal cooked by his ex-wife, and the family has always asked a nanny to do housework.

At that time, Yue Qun simply thought that as long as he gave her what she wanted, she could be by his side for a lifetime, but the sudden collapse of his career made his marriage disintegrate, and his ex-wife ended the last conversation between them with a sentence of "You can't give me the life I want".

"She's busy today, she works at the supermarket at The Mall and only has one day off a week, but we made an appointment to come to my house for dinner tonight, and she cooked me my favorite dish. Xue Rin put the notebook in his backpack and couldn't help but show off how caring his girlfriend was.

"You kid is so blessed! Then you go quickly! Don't keep the girl waiting!"

Yue Qun didn't know whether he should be envious or jealous, he had never experienced the feeling of someone cooking for him, and he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart.

"Okay!" Xue Rin picked up his backpack and walked out the door, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly turned his head again.

"Mr. Yue, you asked me before, what determines the taste of the soup, I think, the taste of the soup should depend on the person who makes the soup!" Xue Rin turned around and left after speaking.

Yue Qun was a little stunned, and he couldn't help but think of the bitter time a few years ago in his mind.

At that time, he had no career and marriage, although he could barely survive, but for Yue Qun, who had always been proud, such a life was no different from death.

He spends his days drinking on the couch in the rental house, because his sober life really makes him worse than dead.

One rainy night, there was a sudden knock on his door, and he ignored it drunk, but when the knock suddenly disappeared, he became curious.

He staggered up to open the door, but there was no one outside the door, only a bunch of daily necessities and a few packets of instant noodles, plus a few braised eggs, he looked into the dim corridor, but there was no sound, and finally, he had not eaten seriously for a few days, he ate two packets of instant noodles, and a salty braised egg.

A few days later, the same plot was staged again, only this time it was a red thermos bucket that appeared at the door, he immediately jumped out of the door and ran to the staircase, but before he went down the stairs, he heard the sound of the downstairs unit door closing, he thought for a long time, and closed the door with the thermos bucket.

It was a hot beef and turnip soup, and he stirred the soup with a spoon, and found that it was full of beef, and it took up more than half of the bucket, and he, who had always been cautious, drank a mouthful of soup without knowing who made it.

Just this bite made him, who had never even shed a tear in the divorce, his eyes go into the sand.

From that day on, he stopped drinking, was no longer decadent, updated his resume and decided to start all over again, until Xue Huaiyuan threw an unexpected olive branch.

The day before he was about to move out of the rental house, he deliberately tidied himself up, hoping to say thank you to the kind man when he came to deliver things again, no matter who that person was, he would regard that person as a lifelong friend for the rest of his life, but until it was dark, there was no movement outside the door, he looked at the red thermos bucket in disappointment, and thought about it all night in the quiet moonlight.

A sudden knock outside the door interrupted Yue Qun's thoughts, and he rubbed his somewhat sour temples, "Please come in." ”

It was the security guard of the building who walked in, "Mr. Yue, are you busy!

Yue Qun was about to speak but hesitated, and after a short thought, he replied with a smile: "I'm tired today, let's leave now!"

----

When Yao Zhixia walked out of the staff passage, he happened to see Xue Rin standing at the entrance of the staff passage and looking inside.

Yao Zhixia immediately walked quickly in front of Xue Rin, took his arm and walked out.

"Alas, what, what are you anxious about?" Xue Rin felt inexplicable, and he broke free of Yao Zhixia's hand with a slight effort.

"Why, why did you come here to wait for me?" Yao Zhixia looked around vigilantly, and as soon as a colleague passed by them, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Why can't I come here and wait for you? I'm so handsome, I have to come out and show off! Could it be that you're afraid that my treasure will be snatched away by your colleagues?"

Xue Rin took Yao Zhixia's hand and placed it on his chest.

Yao Zhixia's face turned red instantly, and she immediately tried to pull her hand out of Xue Rin's hand with all her might.

Xue Rin completely ignored the whispers of the supermarket employees who got off work around her, and just pulled her out, and when she passed by a milk tea shop, he, who usually never drank milk tea, suddenly became interested, and pulled Yao Zhixia to stand in the order line.

"Xue Rin, you, you let go first, aren't you hot?" Yao Zhixia whispered in Xue Rin's ear.

"I'm not hot, are you hot? Then I will order you a cold milk tea to drink, I didn't want you to drink cold, lest you feel uncomfortable, as soon as you feel uncomfortable, I have to warm your stomach." Xue Rin said without the slightest hesitation.

The two fashionably dressed girls standing in front of them covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this.

At this time, Yao Zhixia's face not only turned redder, but even the roots of her ears began to get hot, and she didn't dare to speak again, for fear that Xue Rin would say something extraordinary.

After a while, it was the turn of the two of them to order, Xue Rin frowned and looked at the dazzling variety of milk teas on the menu, not knowing what kind of content would pop up behind these strange names.

For Yao Zhixia, who is used to being thrifty, a cup of milk tea for girls shopping is not her choice, and ordering is more like solving a math problem for her, which is even more difficult.

"Two, have you decided?" the waiter stared at the couple who were still holding hands after reading the menu for a long time, and couldn't help but urge.

"Hmm...... This first milk tea, can you put no milk or sugar?" Xue Rin asked seriously, he never ate this matter casually.

"Huh? Generally, you can have less sugar or half sugar, as for milk, if you don't put milk, it's not milk tea!"

The waiter looked at the handsome young man in disbelief, guessing that he might not have even drunk milk tea.

"Well, so be it, you can add milk, but no sugar, give me two cups. Xue Rin said as he opened his coat with his free right hand, trying to take out his wallet from the inner pocket on his right side.

"Wait a minute! I didn't say I was going to drink this. Yao Zhixia pulled Xue Rin's left hand with his hand.

"Why don't you drink this? ”

Xue Rin was surprised to find that this Yao Zhixia, who had always been submissive, had actually begun to become independent in front of him, and he immediately vigilantly wanted to extinguish this evil little flame.

"Hello, I want a second one, half sugar without ice, thank you. Yao Zhixia ignored Xue Rin and said to the waiter with a smile.

"Yao Zhixia, your own won't taste good later, I won't change it with you!" Seeing that Yao Zhixia actually ignored herself, Xue Rin immediately scared her.

"Hurry up and settle the bill with someone, there are still people waiting behind!" Yao Zhixia didn't pay attention to this stubble, and urged him directly.

Xue Rin glanced at Yao Zhixia, and then stretched out his right hand to his inner pocket, but he couldn't take out his wallet at this angle.

Seeing this, Yao Zhixia tried to break free of the clamped left hand, but Xue Rin was stunned and refused to let go, and after a few seconds of stalemate, Yao Zhixia really couldn't resist the strange glances that the people around him threw at them, so he had to put his left hand into Xue Rin's arms, took out the wallet, and awkwardly handed the money inside to the waiter.

When the two walked to Xue Rin's car, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but say, "You see, it's inconvenient to hold hands outside. ”

"What's inconvenient, aren't you quite adaptable?" Xue Rin disagreed, and put the milk tea on the roof of the car.

"Next time, we pay with our phones. Yao Zhixia suddenly thought that they could have paid with their mobile phones, wouldn't it be convenient?

"I've been in the UK for so many years, and I'm really not used to it when I come back to China. Xue Rin said and touched the pocket of his clothes again, trying to take out the car keys.

Needless to say, Yao Zhixia also knew what he was looking for, she put the milk tea on the roof of the car, and then went straight to Xue Rin's left jacket pocket and took out the car keys from it.

"How do you know you're here?" asked Xue Rin in surprise.

"We've seen it a few times before when we parked the car, and you're always used to leaving your car keys here. Yao Zhixia stretched out his hand and pointed to Xue Rin's left pocket.

"Pay so much attention to my every move, do you say you love me miserably? Still twisting and pinching there and won't let me hold it!" Xue Rin said and stretched out his finger to point between Yao Zhixia's eyebrows.

"Let's, let's go, it's too late to go back to Yuen Long, and we're going to be hungry." Yao Zhixia was struck by Xue Rin's words, so he made a reason to avoid talking about it.

"That kid won't die of hunger if he eats less!It's not difficult for you, let's go!" Xue Rin said as he took Yao Zhixia's hand, lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on the back of her hand, and naturally let go.

Yao Zhixia, who was suddenly attacked, really couldn't slow down, the hand that was kissed also stiffened, and her brain went blank and got into the car from the other side of the body.

The two of them fastened their seat belts, but Xue Rin didn't step on the accelerator for a long time.

"Why do you always feel like something is missing?" Xue Rin said suspiciously.

Yao Zhixia beside him was busy doing psychological construction for herself, on one side her heart was about to jump out, and on the other hand, she was sighing why she was making such a fuss, this is the normal interaction between men and women in love!

"Huh?" Yao Zhixia felt as if she had heard what Xue Rin was saying, but she wasn't sure what he was saying.

"Forget it, let's go. Xue Rin was too lazy to get entangled, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out.

Two cups of milk tea, which depended on each other, were hung on the roof of the car, crumbling in the cold wind of early autumn.
