Quanta Plaza.

Children's happiness always comes easily, Chen Xingkai has long been defenseless against Lin Xiaojiao, grabbed Lin Xiaojiao's hand and rushed in, and kept shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Lin Xiaojiao observed the road conditions all the way, "Okay, okay, slow down a little, don't fall." ”

Accompanied Chen Xingkai to visit the 3D fun exhibition, Lin Xiaojiao helped carry the schoolbag, and took pictures of him in each exhibition area according to his requirements, and after forty minutes, both of them were sweating profusely.

It's just that Chen Xingkai is playing, and Lin Xiaojiao is tired.

When a child goes crazy, he is full of energy, and after consumption, he is said to sleep and sleep. After Lin Xiaojiao answered Chen Dan's call, he found that Chen Xingkai, who was sitting beside him, was holding a drink and falling asleep on the table.

Chen Dan is already on his way over, and it is estimated that it will take twenty minutes to arrive, so let him sleep for a while.

Lin Xiaojiao moved softly and put his bag under his head, looking at his fleshy little face, there was suddenly a strange satisfaction in his heart, as if the regrets he felt when he was a child were fulfilled at this moment.

It would be nice if when she was young, her parents, oh no, even the adults next to her could accompany her like this once.

Chen Xingkai slept deeply this night, and he didn't wake up until Chen Dan arrived, Lin Xiaojiao tried to call him a few times, he smashed his mouth but didn't open his eyes, Lin Xiaojiao had to pick him up.

Eight-year-olds...... Why is it so heavy.

Chen Dan watched Lin Xiaojiao from a distance through the car window, holding Chen Xingkai and walking over slowly, and hurriedly got out of the car and hurried over.

"Sister Dan. Lin Xiaojiao lowered his voice, "Kai Kai is still asleep." ”

Chen Dan reached out to take his son from Lin Xiaojiao's arms, Chen Xingkai opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Dan in a daze, then circled Chen Dan's neck, and called 'Mom' in a milky voice.

Chen Dan's gaze instantly became gentle, stroked Chen Xingkai's back, and then looked at Lin Xiaojiao, seeing that her bangs were wet with sweat on her forehead, and said, "It's hard work." ”

Lin Xiaojiao still had Chen Xingkai's schoolbag hanging on her wrist, and her shirt was a little messy because she was holding Chen Xingkai just now, but she shook her head habitually, "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”

Chen Dan's eyes flashed, and he paused slightly to speak: "Get in the car." ”

For the sake of safety, Chen Xingkai and Lin Xiaojiao sat in the back seat together, Chen Dan watched Lin Xiaojiao through the rearview mirror while wearing a seat belt, carefully put Chen Xingkai's head on his lap, and suddenly asked, "Xiaojiao, do you know Wu Nanyuan?"

Wu Nanyuan?

Lin Xiaojiao looked confused, but she always thought seriously about the questions raised by her boss, so she tried to memorize these three words in her mind, and finally answered cautiously: "I don't know." ”

Through the rearview mirror, Chen Dan took every subtle expression of Lin Xiaojiao into his eyes.

It seems that she really saw it wrong, the man she saw in the video before was not Wu Nanyuan.

But if it weren't for Wu Nanyuan, who would it be?

Chen Dan started the car, turned the steering wheel and asked, "Is the acquaintance you mentioned in the video before?"

"That, he ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, his indifferent side face appeared in his mind, and his detached tone was still in her ears, thinking of what he said when he said goodbye, Lin Xiaojiao said in a somewhat cowardly tone: "It's not a classmate, it's actually not an acquaintance......"

Everyone himself denied the word 'acquaintance', even if he was not present, Lin Xiaojiao's character would not be able to do the act of 'climbing relationships'.

"Not familiar?" Chen Dan's tone raised slightly, revealing a little doubt.

Although it was only in the video, Chen Dan couldn't see that the man was extraordinary, and he was driving a Porsche, why did he send a girl with a child?

Chen Dan's tone made Lin Xiaojiao nervous instantly, worried that she felt that she had taken Chen Xingkai to take some unreliable person's car, so she hurriedly organized the language and explained: "It's a patient I met twice in the hospital when I was hospitalized before, and it was the third time we met just now, and he dropped us off when it rained suddenly, I don't know his name yet, so I don't know him." ”

The important thing is that they emphasize that they don't know each other well and will not see each other again.

Chen Dan nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more.

---

By the time Lin Xiaojiao and Chen Dan arrived at the airline restaurant, the other colleagues had already arrived, and they sat at a big table in a noisy manner, seeing Chen Dan tacitly restraining their play, officially greeting Chen Dan, and then praising Chen Xingkai like a formality.

Lin Xiaojiao glanced at the empty dining table, and couldn't help but worry about whether he was late, and let everyone wait on an empty stomach for whether he would be unhappy, so while sitting down on everyone's vacant seat, he took out his mobile phone and said: "I have a group coupon on the APP, we will probably use three tickets, it is very cost-effective......"

But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a colleague shaking the menu, "No need, Xiaojiao, you can return the coupon." ”

"Huh?"

"When we wait for you, we are all optimistic about what we want to eat, you and Sister Dan can see what you want to eat and add it, just order it directly, and the coupon is not much cheaper. ”

"But...... You can get a discount of 85% with a coupon. ”

"Celebrating your turn and encountering an accident is thrilling or not, it doesn't matter if such a happy thing is discounted or not. After the colleague finished speaking, he didn't give Lin Xiaojiao a chance to say 'no', took the menu and handed it to Chen Dan on the side, and asked, "Sister Dan, you and Kaikai take a look at what you want to eat." ”

The screen of the mobile phone, which had not been the next step, had dimmed, and Lin Xiaojiao's heart had also darkened.

Her voice doesn't seem to have any resonance in any group, and even if it seems that the theme of today's dinner revolves around her, she still can't be the protagonist, everyone chats happily and lively, and the topics they talk about are never related to her.

Maybe her colleagues will come over happily, not really wanting to celebrate her, but just a free dinner.

Lin Xiaojiao silently clicked on his Alipay balance and sighed melancholy.

Before I was paid, I had to rely on instant noodles to get by.

At this time, Lin Xiaojiao suddenly felt that someone had pulled the hem of his clothes, and subconsciously turned his head sideways to the last little face.

After sleeping enough, Chen Xingkai stared at her and asked, "Auntie, aren't you happy?"

"Auntie?" Xiao Fei, who heard all directions, immediately raised his voice excitedly, "Xiaojiao, Kai Kai called you Auntie?"

Another male colleague laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahaha, Xiaojiao, you can't just lose weight, you have to do maintenance, and you're called 'aunt' when you're only twenty-two!"

obviously heard Chen Xingkai's words, and everyone's focus was on the word 'aunt', no one would ask her if she was unhappy and why she was unhappy.

The feeling of not being taken seriously is probably like this, but fortunately, Lin Xiaojiao has long been used to it, she is a little helpless holding the glass of lemonade, the smile on the corner of her lips is embarrassed and stiff, she opens her lips, and she doesn't know what to say.

Chen Xingkai looked innocent and puzzled, and began to ask Chen Dan, "Mom, am I calling me wrong? Why do these two uncles laugh?"

Uncle, a term used to refer to a man of the same age as his father but older.

Xiao Fei, who was still smiling happily just now, and his male colleague's smile gradually stiffened.

"That's right. Chen Dan closed the menu, pressed the service bell on the table, swept the crowd coldly, and said: "You call me 'sister' one by one, do you still want my son to call you 'brother and sister'? ”

Chen Dan has been under low air pressure, even if he has left the office environment, this opening immediately makes everyone subconsciously adjust their sitting posture.

Xiao Fei: "Yes, yes, Kaikai should call us 'uncle and aunt'." ”

Chen Dan raised his eyes, "Then what were you laughing at just now?"

Everyone immediately shook their heads and laughed.

Lin Xiaojiao on the side was still a little unable to come back to his senses, three months after joining the company, he didn't expect that the person who spoke for himself for the first time was not a colleague who kept smiling, but a boss who had always been smiling.

With Chen Dan eating relatively restrained at this meal, after three rounds of drinking, Chen Xingkai couldn't sit still, so Chen Dan got up and took him to the children's area of the restaurant to play.

As soon as Chen Dan left, everyone immediately sighed, and then looked at Lin Xiaojiao complainingly, "Xiaojiao, what's the matter with you, why did you call her to come together, it's really disappointing." ”

"yes, this meal is like overtime. Lili rolled her eyes.

"It's not, I don't dare to come out, and I'm terrified to eat. ”

But she's also a member of the company.

But this meal is my invitation, I want to invite whoever is my freedom.

The faint voice echoed in Lin Xiaojiao's heart, but it was as if a pair of hands were choking her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

So during the time when Chen Dan came back, Lin Xiaojiao was first complained by everyone, and then was treated as air by everyone to hang aside.

In addition to the laughter and laughter of colleagues, there is also the continuous sound of food.

Lin Xiaojiao listened to them one by one, until a colleague reminded her that everyone had eaten almost enough, and she could go and pay.

Lin Xiaojiao, who was the east, was like a follower, and immediately got up obediently to pay the bill, and walked to the cashier counter with a bloody heart, but the clerk told her that the order had been bought.

"Huh?" Lin Xiaojiao blinked in disbelief, "It should be a mistake, please check it again." ”

The clerk smiled and pointed to the area not far away for children to play, "No mistake, the lady paid for it." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by the clerk, Chen Dan's figure appeared in his sight.

Lin Xiaojiao was both moved and flattered, and hurriedly walked over, "Sister Dan, I'll transfer the money for dinner to you, I said that I had a treat, how can I make you pay for it......"

Chen Dan's eyes followed Chen Xingkai who was jumping up and down all the way, "I don't have much money." ”

Lin Xiaojiao is not suitable for accepting the good of others, especially the boss who has always been cold-faced, his lips open and close, and he seems at a loss.

"It's not a gratuitous gift. Chen Dan continued: "You picked up Kai Kai in the afternoon and took him to play, he was very happy, this meal, I paid for his happiness." ”

It's not a nice thing to hear, and even at first glance it makes people feel full of 'disdain' words, but it inexplicably makes Lin Xiaojiao feel warm.

There are thousands of adult faces, and sometimes the pleasant face makes people feel cold.

Lin Xiaojiao thought that Chen Dan's heart must be very soft.

She couldn't find the right words to express her gratitude, just buried her head in pressing the phone, Chen Dan looked at her sideways, and said unhappily: "If you transfer it to me, I won't accept it, don't waste time." ”

"It's not the money, it's the pictures I took of Kai Kai in the afternoon. Lin Xiaojiao checked a bright smile and sent it to Chen Dan, "Kai Kai has been saying that he will show these photos to his classmates tomorrow. ”

"Good. ”
