Chapter 173: Fried Chestnuts

Although Bai Xiaojiu chose to go out early to avoid being late for the annual meeting, it was only one or two hours before the annual meeting began.

Although she just joined the company this year and has not participated in the annual meeting, she has heard from other colleagues that the food and drink at the annual meeting are good, and there are gifts to take, but don't be full.

At this time, Qi Jingchen was standing in front of her, still thinking about another roasted sweet potato, how could Bai Xiaojiu agree.

But seeing him looking at her with pleading eyes, those beautiful eyes were very bright because of anticipation, and the smile on Bai Xiaojiu's face could be reflected in them.

"It's going to be the annual meeting in a while, don't eat it. Bai Xiaojiu glanced at his lips, they were clean, there was no dirt, I didn't expect him to eat very quickly, and he ate very carefully.

Zheng Qing wiped the corners of his mouth clean, and was still eating roasted sweet potatoes in small bites, and when he saw that Qi Jingchen still wanted it, he laughed, "Don't think about it." After I bought it, the chengguan came, and I don't know where to run at this time. What else are you eating?"

Qi Jingchen likes to eat sweets, but he feels that such a preference doesn't seem to be enough, and he usually doesn't dare to show it too obviously.

He didn't know that what he did was not obvious, and he had long been seen by Bai Xiaojiu.

When he looked at her expectantly just now, as soon as he was rejected, he felt that his whole body was slumped.

Bai Xiaojiu stepped forward to hold his arm and looked up at him, "It's about to be dinner at the annual meeting." More desserts in a moment, are you going to eat your fill now?"

Qi Jingchen nodded reluctantly, looking at Bai Xiaojiu's pout, still responding obediently, "Then I won't eat it." ”

Zheng Qing finally finished eating the roasted sweet potato, threw it into the trash, and walked to Bai Xiaojiu's side, "Don't bully me for being alone." ”

"Where's your one?" Bai Xiaojiu was not very familiar with this street, and looked left and right, "Which way?"

"Let's go that, that, we're going out of the alley, almost a short walk. Zheng Qing slowly put on his gloves, rubbed his hands, and put them to his mouth again, "Mom." It was too cold on this day. Especially when it gets dark, I'm almost freezing. ”

"You're fine here, it's snowing there. If you spend an hour outside, you're going to be a popsicle. ”

When Qi Jingchen spoke, he stretched out his hand shrunk in his sleeve and touched the back of Bai Xiaojiu's hand, sensing that her hand was cold.

Stretched out his other hand and pushed her hand away from his arm, his slender fingers took her two hands directly into his pocket, and hugged her hand tightly with his warm hand.

Bai Xiaojiu's two hands were held by him and put in his pocket, and it was not too convenient to walk, but it was very warm, especially in his heart.

When he was talking to Zheng Qing, he was paying attention to whether she was cold or not the whole time, and this feeling of being taken to heart always made people's hearts tremble.

Zheng Qing was still looking at the road, didn't see their small movements, turned his head to look at the road signs, "Since we started to build the subway here, I think it's strange everywhere." ”

"Don't tell me you're lost!" Bai Xiaojiu was holding his hands and simply clinging to him, with a thoughtful and satisfied smile on his face.

"I have a good memory, so let's go over here. Zheng Qing was too lazy to look at these two guys who looked like conjoined babies, and concentrated on finding the way.

Since the rapid development of Rongchuan City, several subway lines have to be repaired, and they are being built in various places, and if it is not a place that is often walked, it is very likely to be closed.

Zheng Qing is not a native of Rongchuan City, but he is a guy who loves food, and he has studied here since he was a child, and a local boyfriend leads the way, so he is quite familiar with the various roads and alleys in Rongchuan City.

Bai Xiaojiu, as a native of Rongchuan, is an authentic road idiot, almost does not remember the road, and can only rely on Zheng Qing.

Seeing her confident face, he didn't doubt it at all, and followed her firmly around the alley.

"I just asked you, what about your family? I heard that you can also receive an extra gift with your family. ”

Bai Xiaojiu's words made Zheng Qing turn her head and wink at her, "You brought your family with you, just for one more gift?"

"Looking for a fight, sow discord with me, how about playing?" Bai Xiaojiu reached out and pushed her shoulder, glaring at her with pretended dissatisfaction.

Qi Jingchen was looking stunned in the face of Rongchuan's completely unfamiliar alleys and streets, and when he heard Zheng Qing's words, he glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "Who knows when your annual meeting will end? I have to ensure the safety of my daughter-in-law." ”

"Tut-tut, is this your daughter-in-law?" Zheng Qing shook his head, and before ......he finished speaking, he was poked in the shoulder by Bai Xiaojiu, and his nails were slightly stinging.

Zheng Qing honestly shut up, "That guy is working overtime tonight and can't come." If I had a replacement, I could have an extra gift. ”

Bai Xiaojiu knew that she would meet alone last year, but she had to take them with a couple, that sense of loneliness and loss.

Hearing her words, he raised his leg and gently kicked her heel, "I really want to record it for you and send it to your family Zhang Jueyu!"

"He won't ......" Zheng Qing walked a little ahead of them, leading the way, and then he realized that the road seemed to be wrong, stopped in place, and looked left and right, "Am I going wrong?"

Once autumn enters Rongchuan City, it will get dark faster at night, and now it is only six o'clock, but it is already a little dark.

There are a lot of alleys here, and there are not many good street lights, most of which rely on the lights exposed by the residential areas and the lights in the shops on both sides of the street.

Zheng Qing doesn't usually come here, and after going around a few places, he always feels that something is not right.

Originally, I was looking left and right with a relaxed face, trying to find the way, but the more I looked, the more I felt that it was difficult, and I was very serious about recognizing the way.

Bai Xiaojiu looked at her like this, guessed that she had made a mistake, and did not bother her, but turned his head to look at Qi Jingchen.

Along the way, I always felt that he was very quiet.

As soon as he turned his gaze, he saw the back of Qi Jingchen's head, and he seemed to be looking at something on the other side very intently.

Following the line of sight, Bai Xiaojiu couldn't help but laugh.

Zheng Qing was annoyed, she said that she was very familiar with the road, and took them to the shortcut, but she didn't know that she had only passed through a few alleys, so she got lost, and her face hurt.

Hearing Bai Xiaojiu's laughter, he scratched his head a little depressedly, "Okay, okay." I'm a little lost, but I can definitely find the right way!"

Bai Xiaojiu didn't care if she was lost at all, but looked at Qi Jingchen still concentrating on a shop not far away.

The signboard light of the store is very bright, and there are four big characters on it, "Fried chestnuts with sugar".

Qi Jingchen looked very attentively, so focused that they stopped and didn't notice it.

Bai Xiaojiu seemed to be able to see his salivation from the back of his head, and couldn't help laughing, and in his clothes pocket, he picked his hand with his hand.

Zheng Qing noticed that Bai Xiaojiu didn't pay attention to what she said at all, and looked at her line of sight, only to realize that there was something else that attracted Qi Jingchen, and she couldn't help laughing, "Is this one in your family reluctant to leave?"

Qi Jingchen brought money with him when he came, and since he was with Bai Xiaojiu, he handed over all the money to her for safekeeping.

Basically, he himself is penniless, and he can only ask Bai Xiaojiu for anything he wants.

Hearing the laughter of the two of them and Zheng Qing's words, Qi Jingchen turned his head, looked at Bai Xiaojiu with blank eyes, pursed his lips, and made a nice sound.

There was a little pleading milk in the voice, which made people's hearts crispy, "I want to eat." ”

Bai Xiaojiu felt like he was going out with a child at the moment, and he wanted to eat everything he saw, but when he said that he wanted it, he asked people to give him everything.

Every time he refuses him, he is very well-behaved and does not make a fuss, and even has no doubts, which makes people feel distressed.

"But we're going to the company's annual meeting now. Baby. Bai Xiaojiu also replied to him, tilting his head slightly, looking particularly playful and cute.

Qi Jingchen smelled the aroma of sugar-fried chestnuts, and wanted to go over at that moment, but he knew that they didn't dare to say anything on the way to the annual meeting.

At this time, he finally stopped, he only needed Bai Xiaojiu to nod, this fragrant chestnut, he could eat it.

Zheng Qing saw that these two good-looking people began to look at each other again, only to feel that his heart couldn't stand this scene, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Come on, come on, I'm going to bake sweet potatoes today." Stir-fried chestnuts are not bad again. I'll treat you. ”

"It's not a matter of who's treated. We'll meet last year in a moment. Are you going to eat all the way through?

"I'll buy a bag, can't the three of us eat it separately? Besides, I can't finish it, so I put it in my bag." ”

"Fried chestnuts are delicious when they are hot!"

When Qi Jingchen heard this, he immediately interjected, "I will eat it cold." ”

Bai Xiaojiu couldn't help but smile and turned his head to look at him, "Okay, buy, buy, buy." Buy it for you. ”

Zheng Qing also felt that this was a bit like a child looking for his mother to eat, and laughed, "We're two aunts going out with their children? I'll buy it, you wait." I'll stop by and look at the road. ”

Bai Xiaojiu never pretended to be polite to Zheng Qing, "Then you hurry up and find your way, don't be late." ”

Zheng Qing said that he would buy a bag for three people, and when he bought it, he handed it to Qi Jingchen, "I asked about the next way, and it was not a mistake." It's just that we have to go around two alleys. Let's go this way. ”

"Won't you be late, right?" Bai Xiaojiu found that Qi Jingchen took the chestnut, and he didn't pull out the hand in his pocket, and covered it for her.

Following Zheng Qing's footsteps, she took out her hand, took out her gloves and put them on, "You can eat with peace of mind." I'm not cold anymore. ”

Qi Jingchen held a bag of hot chestnuts with a satisfied face, and carefully opened one first when he touched it.

Peeled cleanly, the chestnuts were fried and golden, and there was a unique aroma, Qi Jingchen pinched this one, turned his head and stuffed it to Bai Xiaojiu's lips, "You taste it." ”

Bai Xiaojiu was about to refuse, but when he saw him stubbornly staring at himself, he opened his mouth to swallow it and chewed slowly, "You eat it yourself." I'm not a big fan of this. ”

Qi Jingchen looked at her seriously, felt that she was speaking very seriously, and stretched out his arm, "Then you hold me." Put your hands on. Don't freeze. ”

Bai Xiaojiu only felt that his heart could be covered in honey by him, and nodded with a well-behaved smile, "You are delicious, I am obedient." ”

"Mm-hmm, you're the best. ”
