At 1:20 p.m., Xinshui International Airport.

Ouyang Limo stood at the pick-up place, her eyes were searching among the passengers leaving the station, holding her mobile phone in her hand, looking at it from time to time, looking a little anxious - more than half an hour had passed since the flight arrived, but the person she wanted to pick up had not yet appeared.

She had just rejected Mo Han's invitation, and the "something" she was referring to was this - she was coming to the airport to pick someone up.

A young boy wearing a peaked cap, a white T-shirt and black pants quietly walked to her side with two large suitcases, and Ouyang Limo didn't notice that someone was approaching her, still stretching her neck to look at the exit.

The boy thought about it, stretched out his hand and covered her eyes mischievously, startling Ouyang Limo, and when he turned around to see the prank clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for so long, you scare me like this?" ”

This person is none other than Xiang Zuo's older brother to the right. He is a boy who loves to laugh, always looks like a very sunny boy next door, although he has not worked in Xinshui City before, and there are few opportunities to meet everyone, but the relationship between him and several of them is still very good, especially Ouyang Limo, who has always regarded him as his own brother.

"I'm sorry, my good sister!" Xiang Zuo gave her a big hug warmly, "Thank you for coming to pick me up." ”

"Fool, isn't it right for my sister to pick up my brother. Okay, tired on the road, right? Walk, the car is parked outside. Ouyang Limo stood on tiptoe and touched his head, and found that he hadn't seen him for a long time and had grown taller, and he had to look up at him to see his face, time was really a magical thing.

Put the suitcase into the trunk of the car, the two got into the car and drove in the direction of Ouyang Limo's home.

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately, and I can't find a suitable one for you to find a house, it's either too small or too far, I'm not satisfied, so before you find a house, you live in my house first, you shouldn't mind?" Ouyang Limo asked the co-pilot to the left while driving.

"How can I mind, sister, you don't bother me, of course I'm happy, and someone will cook for me!" Xiang Zuo smiled and said, "I either order takeout or go out to eat when I go out alone, and I have never cooked at home, but it is also because the place I share is too small and there is no place to cook." ”

Ouyang Limo heard this, and felt distressed: "I said a long time ago that I wanted to take you over, but there is no suitable job to introduce to you, so I don't dare to ask you to resign easily." ”

"Sister Limo, even if I don't have a good job, I am willing to be with you, which is much better than me working alone in other places. Besides, even Xiaoyou has always been here, in fact, I have wanted to come here for a long time. Speaking of his sister, Xiang Zuo's tone was full of love and pity, "For so many years, thanks to all of you who have always taken care of her, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as an elder brother." ”

"Don't say that, in fact, it's all her own hard work. By the way, you should know, right? She and Ye Feng went on a business trip to Milan. ”

"Well, she told me, I really want to thank you for this, thank you for introducing someone like Ye Feng to lead her, Xiaoyou She is really happy to be able to work with him." Xiang Zuo felt that he owed Ouyang Limo too much favor.

"Actually, it's all mutual, it's Xiao You's own ability is enough, otherwise even if it's my face, Ah Feng won't accept her. You don't have to take it personally. "I thought you would blame me for losing your sister, after all, this is her first time abroad, and even I'm a little worried about her, and I don't know if she can adapt in Milan." ”

"I know her personality and vision, opening an online store is not all her real ability, she is suitable for this kind of work, but there has never been a good Bole, now it's okay, she has the conditions to go out, she called me and said, she is okay during this time abroad, so you don't have to worry about her." Xiang Zuo said, remembering his own business, "By the way, Sister Limo, what kind of good job did you introduce to me?" ”

"Well...... this" Ouyang Limo smiled and sold a pass, "Although it is not completely determined, it is not far from ten, so I dare to ask you to resign and return to Xinshui City to settle down." ”

"What is it?" Asked curiously to the left.

"Don't worry, I'll take you back first, you tidy up your things, the room is ready for you, I called Jiaqi and a few of them to the store for dinner in the evening, for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, let's talk about it tomorrow, don't worry, anyway, he ...... I'm going to go abroad soon, and I don't know when I'll be back, so I'll stay at my house for a few days and take it as a vacation. ”

Suddenly inexplicably remembered Mo Han, Ouyang Limo subconsciously touched his lips, and the place where his finger touched just now seemed to have the temperature of his finger, which was hot.

"He? Who is it? Xiang Zuo really heard the unusual key words in her words and asked.

Ouyang Limo secretly scolded herself for suddenly remembering Mo Han, obviously decided not to have a personal relationship with him, now it's good, every time you talk about business, it will involve ambiguous emotions, it's really bad!

It's really curious to kill the cat, the more Ouyang Limo doesn't speak, the more Xiang Zuo wants to know in his heart, but he doesn't care what he says to her next, Ouyang Limo resolutely doesn't reveal a word, and he can only give up helplessly.

Si Yue's vexatious trouble in the store finally reached the ears of Yi Jiaqi and Long Mengmeng, after calling up the surveillance and checking, they didn't see this person, they didn't know what her origin was, and they didn't know what the purpose of her coming was, was it really just a simple door-to-door trouble?

"I'll ask someone to check her, and besides, keep the surveillance, and refuse her to enter the door next time." As she spoke, Igagi took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, and told the person on the other end of the phone to check.

"Are there many people like this lately?" Long Mengmeng asked Xia Qiyan.

Xia Qiyan thought for a while and shook his head: "Although there are occasionally one or two picky guests every month, there is no one as unreasonable as her. She seems to have come specifically to target Sister Limo, and when she saw Sister Limo appear, her eyes were particularly fierce, but this may also be my delusion......"

"Limo?" Long Mengmeng really couldn't think of any trouble for such a gentle person as Ouyang Limo, "That's ...... Did she show anything? ”

"No, Sister Limo behaved very normally, as if she didn't know that person." After Xia Qiyan finished speaking, he said that he still needed to prepare the dinner party in the evening, and turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Actually, it's because he's still holding a grudge against the last incident about Igagi and Mohan. After all, he is young, and he can't let go of it well, and he can't figure it out so quickly, so he can't face her normally as before for a while, and can only temporarily reduce the time he spends face-to-face with her, and he needs time to think.

Long Mengmeng didn't know that Xia Qiyan knew about the matter discussed between Yi Jiaqi and Mo Han earlier than her, so she felt a little strange about his attitude, and just when Yi Jiaqi came back from the call, she asked her, "What's wrong with Qiyan?" It seems a little weird. ”

Yi Jiaqi looked at the back of Xia Qiyan leaving, and guessed what it was, but she didn't explain it to Long Mengmeng, because the more she said, the more wrong she would be, this is a truth, she simply pretended not to know: "I don't know." ”

Long Mengmeng felt that she was also a little weird, remembering the phone call she answered on the day of the showdown before, and asked, "Jiaqi, has that incident been settled?" ”

Yi Jiaqi hesitated, she didn't know if it was the right time to tell this matter, after all, the cooperation had not started yet, and there was no movement on Mo Han's side, if Long Mengmeng knew the truth now, she was not sure if she would agree with this matter.

"Jiaqi?" Long Mengmeng saw that she was just silent and didn't answer, and the questions in her heart became bigger and bigger.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's not a big deal, it's not as serious as you think." Ijaki pretended to smile casually and put her hand on her shoulder, "Don't you believe me?" I'm still saying that, I won't hurt my best friend. ”

Long Mengmeng felt that she was becoming more and more unable to understand the woman in front of her, she could see that Yi Jiaqi was deliberately hiding something, when she asked her a question just now, she saw a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes, she should have thought about telling her about it, right? But in the end, she chose to remain silent because she felt that it was not yet time? But no matter how you say it, what is there that even a good girlfriend for many years can't say?

Long Mengmeng suddenly felt that the relationship between the five of them had become hazy because of too many things that had happened recently, everyone had a little secret in their hearts, and without the clarity and simplicity they had at the beginning, this was really a thing that made her very helpless. She can't change, and she doesn't have the ability to change alone, all she can do is companionship and trust.

"Jiaqi, if something happens to you and you need my help, just let me know, we're good friends, right?" Long Mengmeng took her hand and whispered.

Hearing this, Yi Jiaqi's lips opened slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't speak, just clenched her hand and nodded affirmatively.

The blood relationship between brothers and sisters is given by their parents and is inherently inseparable, but friends who are like brothers and sisters are purely dependent on fate. Since the blessings they have cultivated in their previous lives can make the five of them best friends in this life and this life, they should cherish them.

A lively summer night should be a cool draft beer with delicious barbecue, a warm summer breeze blowing under the starlight, and three or five friends chatting together.

Xia Qiyan prepared an afternoon for the evening dinner, not only the store's special snacks and signature staple foods, but also the big barbecue grill was full of skewers of skewers, specially selected mutton skewers, beef skewers, chicken wings, enoki mushrooms, eggplants and the like, brushed with oil, sprinkled with cumin, not long after, they were "sizzling" straight sound, the white smoke floated into the air, a gust of wind blew, and dispersed, leaving only a bunch of fragrance, making people smell the index finger.

In order not to disturb the customers in the store, they set up the reception banquet in the small open-air garden, which is spacious and undisturbed, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Xiao Xiao, eat more vegetables, it's nutritious." Ouyang Limo blew the freshly roasted green pepper and put it in Xiao Xiao's small bowl and said to her.

This is the first time Xiao Xiao has eaten in the store since she was discharged from the hospital, so she is very happy today, and she is more obedient than at home: "Well, okay." ”

Ouyang Limo touched her little head and poured her another glass of juice. In fact, she didn't want to bring her daughter out, but she was clamoring to stay with Xiang Zuo, and she couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to take her out for dinner.

Long Mengmeng helped Ouyang Limo chop up the large piece of meat that Xiao Xiao was going to eat, and said, "Limo, don't always let her stay at home, children at this age love to play the most, and you can easily suffocate her like this." ”

Ouyang Limo sighed: "No way, the kindergarten will not be able to enter the school in two days, and I have tried my best to accompany her in the home office during this time, but I am afraid of ...... It's not safe for her to come out. ”

When she said insecurity, of course, she meant Wu Xiaodong, but now that her daughter was by her side, it was inconvenient for her to say it.

Long Mengmeng naturally understood the meaning of her words, and comforted: "If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, will he never appear Are you going to hide Xiao Xiao at home for the rest of your life?" ”

"Then what can I do......" Ouyang Limo put the small pieces of minced meat into Xiao Xiao's bowl, signaling Long Mengmeng not to talk about this today, "Let's talk about it later." ”

She didn't want to talk about it, and Long Mengmeng could only give up.

On the other side, Yi Jiaqi drank high tonight, and not long after she started eating, she had already finished drinking a barrel of draft beer, and now she was pulling a full glass to the left: "Xiao Zuo, we haven't seen each other for two years, right?" When I saw you two years ago, your face hadn't grown yet, but now you're getting more and more handsome? If it's a good brother, let's have another drink! ”

Xiang Zuo finally poured the last sip of beer, and the breath of beer pressed against his esophagus, so that he couldn't speak.

Ouyang Limo saw that his face was flushed, and hurriedly grabbed Yi Jiaqi, who was pouring wine again: "Don't, Jiaqi, don't drink so much, we are a dinner, not a wine competition, he drank too much......"

"Hey! What are boys afraid of! Boys are supposed to be able to drink! How can you do great things without drinking! Ignoring her resistance, Ijaki stuffed a full cup of draft beer into his hand, "Come, cheers to us for the beautiful days we will get along day and night in the future!" In the future, if you have any difficulties in Xinshui City, just come to me! I'll help you get it done! ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Sister Jiaqi......" finally made a long wine burp, and Xiang left only felt that the breath rushed to the top of his head, and the whole person was confused, he really couldn't drink it, "No...... I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'll go to the toilet first......"

He stumbled to his feet and walked in the direction of the toilet.

Ouyang Limo looked at his swaying back, and said to Yi Jiaqi with disgust: "Jiaqi, you are really, he only arrived in the afternoon, and he hasn't recovered yet, and he drinks so much wine at night, which hurts his body!" ”

"Oh, what are you afraid of!" Igagi disagreed, taking a long sip of beer to herself, "Don't think I don't know why he's here...... Why is he returning to Xinshui City now? Don't you just want him to be like Qiyan and help you manage your new store......"

Ouyang Limo didn't tell anyone about this, so she was surprised, how could Yi Jiaqi know.

Looking at her slightly surprised expression, Ijaki was drunk and said with a smile, "You want to ask how I would know, don't you?" Have you forgotten that we are best friends? What are you thinking, I can't see it? ”

She sniffed, burped and continued, "You, I always think that their two brothers and sisters are as pitiful as you, and you hope that the two brothers and sisters can be reunited and live in the same place." You've always wanted to help them, and you wanted to recruit them here to work, didn't you? But at that time, I persuaded you because there was no shortage of people in this store. Now, you are ready to open a new store, Xiaoyou is working next to Ye Feng, she doesn't need you to worry about it, so among the few good friends around you, you can't rest assured that he is the one, right? ”

Being said by her, Ouyang Limo smiled and nodded: "Sure enough, those who know me, Jiaqi also." ”

Ijaki replied with a drunken smile: "If you want to do business, you have to drink, I'm exercising him, you know?" I'm happy today, good day, so we're going to drink! Drink! ”

"Then you don't have to drink so violently, how can she explain to the right when she drinks a good Limo." Long Mengmeng came over to help persuade her, and finally snatched the beer glass she was holding tightly in her hand.

"Oops, you give me back the wine!" Like a child, Igazi yelled for her own glass.

"Let's eat some food, just drinking wine and having an empty stomach is not good for the stomach." A plate of roasted vegetables and pieces of meat appeared in front of Igagi. Looking up at the hand holding the plate, it was Xia Qiyan, and Yi Jiaqi was suddenly a little stunned.

Xia Qiyan in the backlight couldn't see his face clearly, he didn't speak again, but when he saw that she didn't answer in a daze, he stuffed the plate into her hand, turned around and went to roast the meat silently.

Looking at the steaming barbecue in her hand, Igagi suddenly smiled, she no longer wanted to drink, but quietly picked up her fork and ate.

Ouyang Limo and Long Mengmeng looked at her, and then at Xia Qiyan, who was facing away from them, the sudden change in painting style made both of them puzzled - what happened between them?
