Seeing that winter is a season when people don't want to go out, Beijing's Chang'an Avenue has become much quieter at half past eight, there are almost no pedestrians on the roads and squares, and there are many fewer vehicles on the road than in the morning. Fan Xiaoxiao sat in the heated car, looking out the window at the bar and square, and suddenly had a feeling of crying, it has been two years since she came to this city, and in this year, Fan Xiaoxiao has lived like other young people who have come to Beijing to work hard, eating simple meals every day, wearing cheap clothes, and living in a simple house.

In fact, Fan Xiaoxiao also knows why the beautiful girls in the company who came at the same time as her can get promoted so quickly without working hard, but Fan Xiaoxiao will not exchange her appearance for that meager title like those girls. Therefore, in the past year of working hard in Beijing, Fan Xiaoxiao has hardly received any promotion opportunities except for year-end bonuses and overtime pay.

Now Fan Xiaoxiao's monthly salary is a drop in the bucket for a high-spending city like Beijing, and she still doesn't know how many days she has spent eating only one meal a day and sleeping in an unheated basement at night. The real suffering is known only to oneself.

"It's here, get off. Before Fan Xiaoxiao could calm down, He Dudong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had already opened the car door and stood outside the car, and a cold air suddenly rushed into the car, and Fan Xiaoxiao's eyes were once again pierced by the cold wind. He Dudong outside the car looked at Fan Xiaoxiao, who kept wiping tears in the car, and had no intention of getting out of the car, he had to close the door, and then trotted to the other side of the car and gently helped Fan Xiaoxiao open the door. "Miss, how long has it been, you have been moved to cry bitterly, not so much. Originally, He Dudong wanted to make a few more jokes with Xiaoxiao, but when he heard Xiaoxiao muttering in a low voice, "My eyes are uncomfortable, it seems to be in the sand......", he didn't say a word, he picked Fan Xiaoxiao up from the saddle, and it was the kind of princess hug.

Seeing each other for the first time after many years, Twilight had such intimate contact with herself, which suddenly surprised Fan Xiaoxiao, she twisted her body and struggled to refuse, but He Dudong's sentence "Don't move, I don't care if I fall down and disfigure my face." ”

Just this sentence, let Fan Xiaoxiao decide to honestly take care of the eyes first. One second, two seconds...... Fan Xiaoxiao kept counting the time in her mind, until a warm air slapped her face again. At that moment, Xiaoxiao's eyes no longer stinged, and tears no longer flowed wildly.

Fan Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes, the first thing that caught her eye was He Dudong's mature and naughty face, Xiaoxiao shyly moved her eyes to the side, and whispered, "You can put me down...... He Dudong let out an "oh" as if he had just come to his senses, and then gently put Fan Xiaoxiao down from the crook of his arm, Fan Xiaoxiao stomped on the ground, then wiped his eyes, and looked around.

"Let's go, let's stop standing stupidly here, let's go in and find a place to sit down......" He Dudong pushed Fan Xiaoxiao from behind, almost pushing Fan Xiaoxiao to a stumbling side, but Fan Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care much.

In fact, Xiaoxiao has also been to the Western restaurant, but it is nothing more than a civilian restaurant like Pizza Hut, but it is the first time for Xiaoxiao to come to this Western restaurant with a harp and piano that obviously looks like pure European blood and is expensive in the center.

After being ushered in by the waiter, Twilight skillfully opened the menu and asked, "Do you have any new products today?" The waiter bowed over and smiled: "Yes, our restaurant has launched a new series of Mediterranean tuna pizza and creamy honey grilled steak, well, and ......." The waiter introduced the menu to He Dudong while squinting at Fan Xiaoxiao, who was playing with knives and forks.

At this time, the restaurant was almost empty of customers, except for a few waiters dragging their chins at the bar. He Dudong didn't open the menu after taking it, but handed it directly to Fan Xiaoxiao: "Come, see what you want to eat." After seeing the menu printed with delicious and attractive Western food pictures, Fan Xiaoxiao let out an "oh", took the menu and opened it awkwardly.

As soon as he saw it for the first time, Fan Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair, and a plate of vegetable and fruit salad was priced at 40 yuan. You must know that the best meal Fan Xiaoxiao has ever had in Beijing is a plate of eight beef and green onion stuffed buns plus a bowl of fried liver, but the price of 18 yuan for these things adds up to Xiaoxiao's heartache. Fan Xiaoxiao cautiously turned another page, Orleans chicken thigh pizza, 180 yuan, or 20% off.

"It's better for you to have it, I'll just eat it......" Xiaoxiao held her forehead and closed her eyes and pushed the menu back to Twilight. Twilight took the menu and smiled helplessly, then began to carefully flip through each recipe.

"Bring me a Hawaiian fruit pizza, big portion. Then a serving of spaghetti...... Plus a black pepper grilled steak, well, that's all...... Oh yes, two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice first, thank you. He Duidong politely closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, and after the waiter left, Fan Xiaoxiao raised her head again and looked at He Dudong blankly. "Done?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked like a child, He Dudong looked at Fan Xiaoxiao's flashing eyes and nodded with a smile.

The orange juice was brought up first, He Dudong gently put Fan Xiaoxiao's cup in front of her table, and then raised the glass, "Cheers to the two of us to meet again!" Fan Xiaoxiao also happily picked up the orange juice and clinked glasses with Dusk Winter, after clinking glasses, He Dudong only took a sip, while Fan Xiaoxiao took a big sip. He Dudong saw that Fan Xiaoxiao's cup was about to bottom out, so he had to add, "Don't worry, drink slowly, I'll give you another one if it's not enough." Xiaoxiao, aren't you going to eat dinner?" Fan Xiaoxiao stopped suddenly, she looked at He Dudong with straight eyes, and then slowly put down the cup in her hand: "Well, I rarely eat dinner after work, and besides, the consumption in Beijing is so high...... Xiaoxiao lowered her head embarrassedly after speaking.

Italian macaroni was served, and He Dudong pushed it in front of Xiaoxiao, "Hurry up, eat it while it's hot." ”

Fan Xiaoxiao hesitated and picked up the knife and fork, "What about you?"

"Leave me alone, you eat first, I'm not hungry. He Dudong put down the empty cup, "Waitter, two more glasses of orange juice!"

Fan Xiaoxiao carefully picked up the knife and fork, she used the fork to reach into the macaroni, and then used the knife with the fork to put the macaroni into her mouth, just after eating Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to say: "I feel that Chinese chopsticks are still easy to use." ”

A Beethoven's "To Alice" sounded in the restaurant without warning, and the melodious and romantic music immediately filled the restaurant with a warm feeling, He Dudong looked down at Xiaoxiao who was eating macaroni seriously, his eyes became moist at some point, and he even wanted to sit down and take Fan Xiaoxiao into his arms, and then gently stroke her head.

"What was I thinking. He Dudong came back to his senses, he felt that he had lost his temper just now, and at this time, the black pepper grilled steak was also served, He Dudong habitually pushed it in front of Fan Xiaoxiao, Fan Xiaoxiao was stunned, "This should be yours, don't you eat anything?" He Dudong realized that he was a little out of shape, he stared at the steak with straight eyes, and said with a smile: "Oh, this one and a half of us." After saying that, Twilight took a knife and fork and divided the steak into two pieces, and sent the larger one to Xiaoxiao's plate with a fork.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, we haven't seen each other for so many years, how can you recognize me at a glance?" Fan Xiaoxiao's words interrupted Twilight's memories.

"Because your appearance has basically not changed much, especially your big cute eyes and chubby face. He Dudong said with a smile, in fact, he really wondered why he could recognize Fan Xiaoxiao at a glance at that time, and he was completely based on his childhood impression with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Are you saying I'm fat. Xiaoxiao puffed up her face and pretended to be angry.

"Sir, your Hawaiian Fruit Pizza, please take your time. The waiter humbly put the last dish on the table, this sixteen-inch pizza bigger than Fan Xiaoxiao's face really made Xiaoxiao open her mouth, "It's too big, I seem to be a little full......"

He Dudong used a knife to cut off half of the pizza and put it on his plate, "If you can't eat these, I can help you take them away, just in time for your breakfast tomorrow." Twilight pushed the remaining half of the pizza to Fan Xiaoxiao, and she lowered her head and ate it herself. In fact, Fan Xiaoxiao had already found that after the steak was served, Twilight's demeanor became preoccupied.

Fan Xiaoxiao carefully picked up a piece of pizza with a fork and put it on the plate: "Dusk winter, are you okay, I think you seem to be a little uncomfortable......"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm a little hungry, hehe...... That, I'll send you back after dinner, there must be no bus so late. Twilight looked up abruptly and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

When Xiaoxiao heard that Twilight was going to send her back, her emotions suddenly became excited, and his palms swinging in the air were like Mei Chaofeng who cast the Nine Yin White Bone Claws. "No, I really don't! My house is very close to here, I can go back when I take a taxi. Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Twilight Winter with a begging look.

"Are you still afraid that I will plot against you, besides, how unsafe it is for you to go home by yourself as a girl, we are at least in a relationship with children, so the taxi driver may not treat you like me......" He Dudong seemed to be a little angry with Xiaoxiao's words just now, his eyes widened when he spoke, he didn't understand why Fan Xiaoxiao was so resistant to his kindness.

Fan Xiaoxiao originally wanted to fight for it again, but Twilight later added, "If you don't agree again, I won't invite you to this meal today, let's pay for each other!" This sentence directly sealed Xiaoxiao's mouth, because she had just calculated that the price of the macaroni and steak she ate was enough for her food in the next week. Twilight finished eating his last piece of pizza and wiped his mouth with a napkin, and when he saw Fan Xiaoxiao with her head down and pouting and playing with a fork and pizza, he knew that she had a little emotion.

Twilight tried to say in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I'll go back after I send you home, and I won't stay at your house." Fan Xiaoxiao finally nodded reluctantly after thinking for a long time.

The two of them who walked out of the restaurant after dinner couldn't wait to get into the car, and when they started the car and waited for the air conditioner to warm up, Twilight and Xiaoxiao rubbed their hands together, obviously neither men nor women could resist this ruthless and bleak winter.

"Say, your home is in the ring, I'll see how long it will take to send you back. Twilight asked Xiaoxiao while fastening his seat belt, he didn't notice the little tears in Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"My family...... Around the fifth ring. Fan Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and said with difficulty, after listening to this passage, Twilight was a little confused, "Around the fifth ring, where is it exactly, and what is it called?" Fan Xiaoxiao lowered her head again and was silent for a long time, but during this time, Twilight seemed to understand something. He Dudong gently put his hand on Xiaoxiao's back, and just wanted to speak, Fan Xiaoxiao's mobile phone rang, and Xiaoxiao hurriedly took out the phone from her bag.

"Hey, Akiko. ”

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, I won't go back to our nest tonight, hehe, my boyfriend's parents are not at home tonight, I'll go live with him......"

"Oh, well, then you take care of yourself. ”

"Well, you should also be careful, if you feel cold, cover a few more quilts, remember to lock the door before going to bed, and turn on the TV if you are afraid, I'm really sorry, I'll bring you milk tea and puffs tomorrow......"

Fan Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly after putting the phone back in her bag, it seems that she really has to let He Dudong send it back tonight.

"Who called you, classmate?" asked He Dudong with concern.

Fan Xiaoxiao honestly stuffed her phone back into her bag, "It's Qiuzi, a college classmate who rented a house with me, she was a trainee teacher in kindergarten......" Xiaoxiao regretted it halfway through, she raised her head cautiously, looking at Dudong, she saw a pupil full of surprise and reproach looking at herself.

"You just said you're still renting a house with your classmates?" He Dudong seemed a little angry.

"That's right, it's that we can't buy a house in Beijing, and I don't have a mine at home. But the house we rented was pretty good, the price was fair, and it was warm in winter and cool in summer. Fan Xiaoxiao worked hard to help herself play the round.

He Dudong sighed, "Okay then, you quickly tell me the address." ”

Fan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to tell He Dudong the address of the rented house, she planned to send him away as long as He Dudong sent her home, she didn't want Dudong to see her current living status.
