Even Xu Wenheng, who has always maintained a cold personality in front of Yang Qingqing, didn't feel that he looked at her twice.

Yang Qingqing became more and more energetic.

Chen Xiaoxi's eyes were like water, and he swept over Xu Wenheng and Yang Qingqing.

The four of them sat down, Zhu Beini and Chen Xiaoxi in a row, and Yang Qingqing and Xu Wenheng in a row. Xu Wenheng turned sideways slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he could see Zhu Beini diagonally opposite.

When everyone flipped through the recipes, they only heard Yang Qingqing's voice ask crisply: "Classmate Xu, where is Liang Fang?" ”

"She went on vacation to the United States with her family."

"Really? I'm also going on a business trip to the United States! Where did she go? ”

"New Jersey."

"Oh, unfortunately, I went to California."

When it comes to work trips, Zhu Beini instantly dimmed more than a grayscale. However, Yang Qingqing was on the rise, and Xu Wenheng was keenly aware of Zhu Beini's absent-mindedness, so he stopped his mouth appropriately.

Everyone ordered one or two of their favorites and called the waiter to order.

As soon as the waiter left, Yang Qingqing continued the topic just now: "I have never been to the United States. So nervous. Have you all been there? ”

Zhu Beini has a black line.

Xu Wenheng: "I exchanged for a semester when I was in graduate school, and I didn't go there again after graduation. ”

Yang Qingqing: "Where to exchange?" ”

Xu Wenheng: "An unknown state school. ”

Xu Wenheng glanced at Zhu Beini, who was shrinking smaller and smaller, and hastily ended the topic. However, Yang Qingqing was really emotional, and she turned to Chen Xiaoxi: "Brother Chen, you have been in the United States for so many years, tell me about California?" ”

Brother Chen?! Zhu Beini unconsciously glanced at Yang Qingqing deeply.

Chen Xiaoxi scratched his head: "California?" There is Hollywood in the south, Silicon Valley in the north, white sand and blue waves in the west, towering mountains in the east, and 10,000 acres of fertile land in the middle. Because of its location on the west coast of the continent and the right latitude, California has a Mediterranean climate that no other state in the United States has. It's more enticing than gold. ”

"Oh? Is it? What is the biggest benefit of the Mediterranean climate? ”

Chen Xiaoxi glanced at Yang Qingqing with a complicated expression: Didn't you graduate from middle school geography?

However, for the sake of Zhu Beni's face, he couldn't bear the urge to sneer.

"The best thing about the Mediterranean climate is, of course, livability! Almost every climate type in the world has certain defects - too hot in summer, too cold in winter, many rainy days, typhoons, etc., but the Mediterranean climate zone is not hot in summer, not cold in winter, less rain throughout the year, and sunny all year round. Who wouldn't want to set up their business here? Of course, drought and wildfires have been more prominent in recent years.

Arguably, there is no second place in the world that rivals California in a country with such a large area and such a rich environmental diversity. California's unique climatic conditions in the United States have laid at least seven or eight percent of it. ”

The waiters brought the food one after another. Zhu Beini sat up straight, changed her malaise just now, and was ready to taste it and treat her depressed self.

Xu Wenheng moved one of his favorite roasted eggplants to Zhu Beini. If he's not mistaken, this guy loves all kinds of eggplant dishes, especially spicy eggplants.

Yang Qingqing poked his head, trying to avoid the sight of Xu Wenheng's arm, and continued to be enthusiastic.

"Brother Chen. What is there to do in California? ”

Zhu Beini took a chopstick eggplant, glanced at Chen Xiaoxi with resentment, and couldn't help thinking: Sure enough, men can't resist beauty, even if a humble gentleman like Chen Xiaoxi can't!

Chen Xiaoxi raised his eyes to Zhu Beini's glance, and felt that something seemed wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong. Yang Qingqing continued to ask, her tone was high and her voice was sweet.

Chen Xiaoxi's eyebrows flashed, and then he talked eloquently: "There is Redwood National Park in the northwest corner of California; the foothills of the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada in the east with Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon National Park; Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park in the southeast. The world-famous Hollywood and Silicon Valley are both in the state. ”

Yang Qingqing clapped her hands: "So handsome!" Have you been there all? Otherwise, how do you remember it? ”

Chen Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile, it is always pleasant to be praised by others, especially in front of the girl he likes. Chen Xiaoxi turned his head to look at Zhu Beini. Zhu Beini is extremely serious, almost exclusively tasting a dish.

Xu Wenheng asked Zhu Beini if she had changed jobs, because more than once he met Lili on the road and went home alone. Zhu Beini was about to answer, but heard Yang Qingqing say: "She didn't change, she just transferred to another post." Brother Chen, are you familiar with the interesting places near Stanford University? Hey, I want to know, is there any shopping nearby? ”

Zhu Beini lowered her head visibly.

Chen Xiaoxi, who is no longer sensitive, now realizes that Zhu Beini is unhappy. It's just that he doesn't know why she's unhappy.

"Transfer? Where's the transfer? While Chen Xiaoxi was running away, Xu Wenheng continued to ask.

"An industrial wholesale site on the banks of the Suzhou Creek." Zhu Beini smiled indifferently. She still has the courage to face the bleak situation at the moment. Even if there is Yang Qingqing as a comparison.

Xu Wenheng's obvious gaze stayed on Zhu Beini's face for a few more seconds, and then he only heard him say casually: "Have you thought about changing jobs?" Our department is looking for a civilian position. ”

"Poof-" Chen Xiaoxi and Yang Qingqing choked at the same time.

Chen Xiaoxi straightened his back unconsciously. Yang Qingqing pointed indiscriminately: "This, this dish, it's pretty good." ”

Zhu Beini raised her head, her eyes were unconsciously full of gratitude, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, she shook her head and smiled.

"It's my department, but in fact, the work has nothing to do with me." Xu Wenheng lobbied slowly.

Zhu Beini still shook her head: "Because the exam will be in March next year, it is better to have more than one thing before the exam." Today's work is actually easier than ever, and interpersonal relationships are simpler. So, I'm quite satisfied. ”

Chen Xiaoxi relaxed and ate. As for the fun and shopping places that Yang Qingqing asked, there was no mood to answer in detail at this time.

After the meal, Zhu Beini looked sleepy, Xu Wenheng was always looking for something to talk to her, Yang Qingqing seemed to be willing to cooperate, caught Brother Chen and asked Brother endlessly. encountered a fancy encirclement and interception, Chen Xiaoxi thought to himself, it turned out that the classmates would be so dangerous.

Chen Xiaoxi made up his mind, under the pretext that everyone had to go to work tomorrow, rushed to pay the bill, and dragged Zhu Beini to take the first step. While resolutely rejecting Xu Wenheng's suggestion to drive him, he commanded Xu Wenheng to escort Yang Qingqing home. This kind of active transfer is more like running away from the wilderness.

"You seem to be a little unhappy. What am I doing badly? Chen Xiaoxi held Zhu Beini's hand and asked softly.

"If I don't say it, I'll be disappointed by your sincere inquiry. If I do, you must not mock me for being vexatious. ”

"......" Chen Xiaoxi just theoretically felt that he should ask that. It turned out that he really did something bad!

"I didn't see you so positive about Yang Qingqing last time!"

"Ah," Chen Xiaoxi sighed briefly, his voice full of surprise: "Are you jealous of me?!" ”
