Zhou Huai is very familiar with this action, Bo Jinxi's hands are easy to get cold, and every time he was sick when he was a child, Bo Jinxi would use his forehead to test his temperature. It's just that since he moved away from the Bo family, the two of them have rarely had such a close action, and now he is no longer comfortable with such a simple action.

"It's still a little burning." Bo Jin said to the west, his voice faintly low.

"It's okay," Zhou Huai subconsciously stepped back: "Just take a pill." ”

Bo Jinxi glanced at him, reached out and took Zhou Huai's coat from the back seat of the car, took out the medicine from his pocket and handed it to him.

Zhou Huai took the medicine, directly peeled one out and threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it directly without even drinking water.

"Do you take medicine or ginseng fruit?" Bo Jinxi took a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to him.

Zhou Huai took the water and poured half a bottle in one gulp. After he finished taking the medicine, Bo Jinxi watched him fasten his seat belt before putting his coat on his body: "Sleep for a while, wait until I call you." ”

Antipyretic medicine has a calming effect, Zhou Huai didn't take the medicine for a while, his head was a little groggy, and his eyelids were too heavy to lift, he nodded to Bo Jinxi, and leaned back on the chair and fell asleep.

When he woke up, the car had already driven to the familiar urban area, Zhou Huai yawned, and with this movement, the coat slid down.

"Awake?" Bo Jinxi glanced at him as he drove.

"Well," Zhou Huai sat up straight and looked out the window: "Why didn't you take the second ring?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped in front of a familiar beef stew restaurant.

After the two of them entered the store, Bo Jinxi didn't even look at the menu and ordered a bowl of stewed beef, a bowl of stewed beef tendon, and a few cold dishes.

There are a lot of customers in the restaurant, but the chef is very efficient, and he serves the dishes ordered by two people one by one in just a while.

It is simply better to eat a bowl of steaming beef stew in such a cold weather, Zhou Huai was not very polite, and directly lowered his head and ate it.

Zhou Huai didn't eat fast, but he was trained a lot faster in the past few years in the crew, and after he finished eating, Bo Jinxi was still holding the dishes unhurriedly.

Zhou Huai beckoned the boss to add some soup, and said to Bo Jinxi, who was still eating: "I didn't expect this store to be open?" From childhood to now, it must have been more than ten years, right? ”

"Twelve years," Bo Jinxi said lightly: "The year before last, two branches were opened near Guangyi Street. ”

"It's still the same taste," Zhou Huai looked around twice: "It's just that the decoration is too old, and the door face should be changed." ”

He added with a smile: "I don't seem to have been here since I graduated. I didn't expect you to remember this place, brother. ”

Bo Jinxi raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I came a few times later." ”

After that, neither of them spoke again, and Zhou Huai wanted to break the silence, but he didn't know what to say. Bo Jinxi didn't talk much since he was a child, and most of the time when the two of them were together, he was chattering, but since that time Bo Jinxi graduated from high school and had a meal...... Later, when he faced Bo Jinxi again, he couldn't always be the same as before. In addition, he was recognized by the Zhou family after that, and he was separated from Bo Jinxi for many years. When the two meet again, there are even fewer topics in common.

Fortunately, Bo Jinxi soon put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to him, "Let's go." ”

When the two returned to Bo's house, Bo Mingcheng was trimming flowers and plants in the flower room, and heard Uncle Li say that Jin Xi and Zhou Huai came back, and they didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they went directly to the living room. After Zhou Huai saw Bo Mingcheng, he immediately put down the luggage in his hand and gave him a big hug: "Grandpa!" ”

"Oh, my good grandson!" Bo Mingcheng was hugged by Zhou Huai and patted him on the back with a smile. I haven't seen him for a while, Bo Mingcheng's complexion is much better than before, probably because he has just returned to China before, and he is somewhat unaccustomed to the soil and water.

"Why haven't you come back for so long?" After the initial happiness, Bo Mingcheng's tone quickly brought a little resentment.

"The crew has been catching up with the schedule before, and it was too busy."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't help but let people rest," Bo Mingcheng looked at Zhou Huai and said distressedly: "I look like I've lost weight." ”

"Master, the next time you see Xiao Huai, you say that Xiao Huai has lost weight, I think Xiao Huai looks pretty good." Uncle Li interjected with a smile on the side: "It's that Jinxi looks a lot thinner." ”

Only then did Bo Mingcheng turn his gaze to Bo Jinxi on the side and nodded: "It's thin, Jinxi, have you had a lot of things in the company recently?" ”

"It's fine."

Bo Mingcheng pondered for a moment, and said to Bo Jinxi: "Since I returned to China, the company's affairs have fallen on your head, and it is indeed hard for you." Then he suddenly turned to Zhou Huai on the side: "I said Xiaohuai, otherwise...... You entered the company to share the burden for Jinxi? ”

As his words fell, Zhou Huai and Uncle Li were stunned.

Zhou Huai was stunned and quickly reacted, smiled, and said, "Grandpa, where do I know about the company's affairs." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Jin Xi didn't come from not knowing anything, and he will learn it slowly."

"Forget it, the crew is also busy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to share anything when I go to the company, and I'll have to add to the chaos."

Since the words had already been said to this point, Bo Mingcheng didn't say anything more, but instead asked Uncle Li if his dinner was ready, and by the way, let him add a few dishes that Bo Jinxi and Zhou Huai liked.

Bo Jinxi and Zhou Huai haven't gone home for a long time, the atmosphere of this whole meal is very harmonious, Bo Mingcheng is obviously in a good mood, and his appetite is much better than usual.

Zhou Huai stayed at Bo's house for one night and returned to Zhou's house early the next morning.

Because it was the cold winter and Zhou Huai's illness was just right, Bo Mingcheng was not worried about Zhou Huai, so he insisted on ordering Bo Jinxi to drive him back in person.

After the car stopped downstairs at Zhou's house, Zhou Huai's hand just touched the handrail on the side, and Bo Jinxi suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”

Zhou Huai's movements paused, and Bo Jinxi had already leaned over slightly towards him. As he approached him, Zhou Huai could clearly smell the familiar and clean smell of shaving water on his body, which made him a little stunned for a moment. The next moment, Bo Jinxi had already tied his open neckline, and his slender fingers were also retracted.

"Alright."

Zhou Huai's hand subconsciously stroked the button on the neckline.

"You're sick, be careful of catching a cold."

"I'll pay attention, you ......" Zhou Huai smiled at Bo Jinxi: "You should go back early." ”

Bo Jinxi nodded at Zhou Huai, and after the other party got out of the car, he left with one foot on the accelerator.

Zhou Huai stood motionless in place until the car completely disappeared into the traffic in the distance, and then sighed softly as if he had just come back to his senses.

He turned around, but his steps slammed: "...... Father? ”

Zhou Shifeng stood behind him with the vegetables he had just bought from the market, staring at him with a deep face, and only after a long time did he say in a low voice: "Go upstairs first." ”

Zhou Huai didn't know what was going on, but he subconsciously noticed that Zhou Shifeng's feelings were not very good. At first, he thought about whether there was something wrong with Zhou Shifeng's business, after all, he had heard Qiu Hui mention that his business was not easy to do recently. But then I felt that it was not right, after all, no matter how bad the business was in the past, Zhou Shifeng had never given him a cold face like this.

When he went upstairs and opened the door, Zhou Huai found that Qiu Hui and Zhou Nianzi were not at home, so he asked, "Aren't Mom and Nianzi at home?" ”

"Nianzi has the final exam today, and your mother is going to pick him up."

Zhou Huai took the plastic bag in Zhou Shifeng's hand, and put the dishes into the washing basin while walking towards the kitchen: "Then I'll cook first." ”

"Wait a minute," Zhou Shifeng stood in the living room: "Come here, I have something to say to you." ”

Seeing Zhou Shifeng's rare strict appearance, Zhou Huai was stunned, put down the dish and walked over.

"Dad."

"You sit down." Zhou Huai was stunned, and sat on the sofa opposite Zhou Shifeng.

Zhou Shifeng took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and took a puff. The two of them sat silently for a long time, and Zhou Shifeng suddenly asked, "Bo Jinxi sent you back just now?" ”

Zhou Huai didn't know why Zhou Shifeng suddenly mentioned Bo Jinxi, but he still nodded: "Yes, I went to Bo's house yesterday." ”

"After Bo Jinxi returned to China, how many times have you met?"

"Four ......" Zhou Huai hesitated: "Four or five times." ”

Zhou Shifeng took a few more sips in a row, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "There is nothing important in the future, so don't go to Bo's house." ”

Zhou Huai was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"There's nothing why!" Zhou Shifeng dropped the cigarette butt on the ashtray: "Can you die if you don't go to Bo's house twice?" ”

Zhou Huai's attitude towards Zhou Shifeng was completely incomprehensible, Zhou Shifeng's temper was a little short-tempered, and there was always friction with outsiders. But because Bo Mingcheng was kind to the Zhou family, he had always respected Bo Mingcheng very much, and he used to take him and his mother to visit Bo's family during the New Year's holidays. Even if you can't visit because of something, the phone won't go down. Zhou Shifeng also often told him, saying that the Bo family was kind to them, and they must not forget to repay them if they have a chance in the future. Why did you suddenly say that he should go to Bo's house less?!

"Dad, didn't you always tell me that the Bo family was kind to us and wanted to repay the kindness?"

"It's to repay the kindness, but ......"

Zhou Huai looked at Zhou Shifeng with a twisted brow, becoming more and more puzzled.

Zhou Shifeng took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took two puffs in a row. His fingers clenching the cigarette tightened, his throat moved back and forth, and it seemed that he had finally made up his mind for a while, and asked: "Let me ask you, what is the relationship between you and Bo Jinxi now?" ”
