Located in the heart of the business district, The Mall is crowded on weekends, and even though the rent is expensive, many brands are still crowded to open stores here, and couples can wait willingly for nearly an hour just to have a drink of influencer.

This is a strange time, people would rather spend a lot of time in line than listen to each other's hearts for a second, the word "love" has become as light as a feather, can be blurted out effortlessly, and has become like a thousand pounds, too many people can't hold it, and can't put it down.

Yao Zhixia, who is busy with survival, doesn't have the heart to discuss whether she should spend her time on "love", let alone the qualifications to talk about "love".

The abrupt fantasies that once germinated on the island, like a period of time on the clouds, have also disappeared after returning to reality.

When she woke up, she was as awake as ever, so awake that she didn't even have such a pretentious thing as tears.

"Sister Zhixia, I'm off work! I'll go! See you at home in the evening!"

Liu Piaopiao carried a small leather bag in her hand and poked her head out between the shelves.

"Be careful on the road, see you in the evening!"

Waving goodbye to Liu Piaopiao, Yao Zhixia looked at the list of out-of-stock in his hand, dusted off his sleeves, and turned back to the warehouse to replenish the stock.

----

Xue Rin has been very comfortable at home in the past few days, lying on the recliner in his backyard, holding the financial statements and investment reports of the company's hotel management business that Xue Huaiyuan asked for, and studying and understanding it carefully.

Although his life at the university in the UK was chaotic and crazy, Xue Rin did not fall behind at all in the books he should read and the classes he should listen to, and he was especially interested in the courses related to strategic management and operational systems.

In the evening, the sky was a little dark, Xue Rin put down the folder in his hand, rubbed his sour eyes, stretched his waist, and lay on the recliner looking at the sky in a daze, while the sleepy Ding Man had been curled up on the rattan coffee table next to the recliner to sleep.

The tireless fluffy has been scurrying around the yard with a toy in his mouth, and when he saw that Xue Rin finally rested, he jumped over from a distance like an arrow from a string and sat on Xue Rin's lower abdomen.

"Ahh

Xue Rin clutched the lower part of his lower abdomen, and an indescribable pain spread to his entire back.

The drooling Peng Peng didn't realize that he was in trouble, so he stood up and stood up directly on Xue Rin, wagging his tail to pounce on him.

Xue Rin was so frightened that he hurriedly turned over and knelt on the grass, he hunched over like a shrimp, only to feel dizzy and black in front of his eyes, "Forehead...... You ...... Bastard!"

Before he finished speaking, another huge pain struck, and his whole body was as powerless as if he had been electrocuted.

"Uh...... I shouldn't have brought you back...... It's time to throw you out of the helicopter and into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Wow...... Wow ......"

Xue Rin was dying on the ground, but the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang, and Ding Man, who had been woken up by Xue Rin's scream, had not slowed down, and was so frightened that he exploded again.

Xue Rin covered his lower abdomen with one hand, struggled to support himself with the other, and answered the phone angrily: "Hey!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Xue Huaiyuan on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, how did Xue Rin, who had been amiable for the past few days, suddenly become a violent temper again?

"Ah, Dad, I'm fine, I just woke up a little angry, you say, what's the matter?"

As soon as he heard that it was his father, Xue Rin immediately softened his tone, and a fake smile appeared on his face, but as soon as the words fell, he immediately turned around and glared angrily, glaring at the panting pant on the side, and made a gesture to hit it.

Peng Peng lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and wagged his tail heartlessly, as if he knew the truth of "reaching out and not hitting the smiling person".

"That's good, just now I had a meeting with Dahua's Lin Dong, his daughter also came, I was very concerned about your recovery, and said that I would visit you again one day, I said just let you come directly to The Mall, I asked Lao Yu to send her to meet you, you take her to the mall, you young people to eat something together, watch a movie, isn't it good? ”

Xue Huaiyuan had intended to match Lin Qingyu and Xue Rin before, and now that the relationship with Xue Rin has eased a lot, he wants to grasp his lifelong events.

"Dad, I know what you mean, but I'm with her...... No incoming calls. Xue Rin's tone was full of helplessness.

"Oh! How many times have you two met? Feelings can be cultivated, such an excellent girl, others don't have that chance to chase them, feelings are just simmering slowly, the longer the more fragrant, you have to be patient. Xue Huaiyuan, as a person who came over, wanted to let his son open his mind.

"Dad, do you know what happens to the two people who don't call? It's just that the water is boiled dry, the bottom of the pot is paste, and this dish is also sandwiched! Our family is not a wealthy and nobleman, what kind of old-fashioned business marriage is we engaged in?"

Xue Rin really couldn't understand that his two marriages were free love, why did he have to listen to the words of the matchmaker when he came to himself?

"Oh, I just think this girl is very good, and I don't dislike you......"

"Dislike me, why do I ......?"

"Don't interject! Let me finish! You said that you are my Xue Huaiyuan's son, it stands to reason that after graduation, you should be in a certain official position in the group, you see that people are hot, as a director for less than a year, all the new and old employees are managed convincingly, you say you are not interested, then what are you interested in? Let you accompany Lin Qingyu to visit The Mall is not only to let you two get acquainted, but also to let you better understand the current situation and operation methods of the mall, you think you really want you to go to the supermarket!"

Xue Huaiyuan found that it didn't work to talk to Xue Rin about "love", so he simply used the high-sounding reasons of "career" and "business" to provoke him, after all, he was his own son, and his self-esteem was a bomb in Xue Rin, which Xue Huaiyuan still had.

"Supermarket?" Hearing these two words, Xue Rin's heart moved, as if he had been inspired by something.

"Hey, I really can't help you, so I'll reluctantly make it difficult for me to go shopping with her. ”

Xue Rin was a little surprised that he would suddenly change his mind, but countless voices suddenly appeared in his heart to call him to go, and in addition to being uncertain, he also had some inexplicable expectations.

"Okay, okay, this is called serious business, you hurry up!" Seeing that the plan worked, Xue Huaiyuan hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Xue Rin was stunned for a moment, and then proudly showed off to Peng Peng: "I'm sorry, I'm going out on a date, you single dog can only play in the mud at home." ”

Xue Rin stood up and strode upstairs to take a bath, he hummed while taking a shower, and after washing, he stood in front of the bathroom mirror scratching his head and posing, raising his arms to show his muscles for a while, and then touching his abdominal muscles arrogantly, shaking his head while making a "tsk" sound.

He stared at his face in the mirror, and suddenly found that even the stubble had grown because he had not gone out for a few days, so he immediately picked up the razor, but hesitated before going under the knife.

"It's not like she hasn't seen me grow a beard, maybe she thinks it's sexier!" Xue Rin muttered to herself.

"But does it look like I'm too greasy with a beard?" Let's take the refreshing and beautiful man route!" Xue Rin analyzed it rigorously, and finally shaved all the stubble clean.

Qi Hang, who was reading a book on the sofa in the living room, suddenly felt a dark shadow flickering by, she put down the book and shouted towards the porch, "Is it Rin?"

"Yes, Aunt Qi, I'll go to The Mall. Xue Rin was hurriedly putting on his shoes at this time.

Qi Hang walked over and leaned on the pillar, carefully looking at Xue Rin's clothes, very curious about the purpose of his trip.

"What are you...... Is it going on a date?"

Smelling the smell of perfume on Xue Rin's body, and finding that he had tidied his hair and shaved his beard, it was conceivable how much he attached importance to this meeting.

Xue Rin looked up and thought about it, and replied hesitantly, "Sort of." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and carefully examined his leather shoes, looking left and right and always feeling dissatisfied.

"The other party...... Who is it?"

The person who would make Xue Rin so well-dressed and anxious to see it be the girl with red eyes outside the ward?

Xue Rin, who was bending down to rummage through the shoe-shine cloth, opened his mouth and said, "Yao ...... Want...... See Lin Qingyu, the task assigned to me by my father. ”

Xue Rin's hand paused unconsciously, and resumed its movements after a moment.

"Oh, I thought ......"

Qi Hang was a little disappointed with the answer given by Xue Rin, and her intuition told her that Xue Rin had been pretending to have something in her heart since she came back, and she often caught uneasiness and entanglement in his eyes, but as an elder, she didn't want to ask too much before he took the initiative to speak, but wanted to give him a little space to tidy himself up.

Xue Rin lowered his head and said nothing, vigorously wiping the dust that fell from the toe of his shoes, and the broken hair on his forehead shook with his movements.

Looking at Xue Rin's stiff back, Qi Hang seemed to see the gray aura emanating from his body, which was like the high-spirited big boy just now.

She sighed, pursed her lips, and said no more.

When the toe of his shoes was bright enough to reflect the light in front of the corridor, Xue Rin finally stopped what he was doing, he got up and straightened his neckline, and said, "Aunt Qi, I'm leaving." ”

Xue Rin put his hand on the doorknob and was about to turn it, but he heard a sentence floating behind him: "When you go shopping, help me go to the supermarket to buy a toothpaste by the way, Sister-in-law Liu forgot to buy it when she went out today." ”

Xue Rin turned his head in surprise, and when he saw Qi Hang's expression as usual, he nodded and turned around to go out.

"When did this kid learn duplicity. Qi Hang stood in place and muttered to himself.

Qi Hang had always been curious about Yao Zhixia's identity before, so he had privately inquired about her with Gong Yan, and learned that she worked in the underground supermarket of The Mall.
