Unconsciously, when Xia Ren came back to his senses, he found that he had walked to a familiar place.

This is a food street, the street is lined with all kinds of restaurants, although Jupiter City is the next third and fourth tier town in Luohua, but the scene is still lively at night, especially in this crowded place.

Although there are many restaurants and snack bars, the mainstream in summer is the barbecue, large and small seats and benches extend to the outside of the store, men and women sit together, the whole street is full of smoke, the red charcoal fire grills the meat skewers, with the sound of "snort", the hot oil drips, bringing up clusters of small flames, far away, the smell of barbecue comes to the face.

He raised his head and looked at the signboard in front of him: Guhui Barbecue.

This shop is a place where Xia Ren, Gao Le and another childhood sweetheart, Yu Jingjing, often come to, and the lamb kidneys roasted by the boss have a unique taste, which is incomparable to other stores.

Now, he can only come alone.

"Let's eat here, I'm hungry right away."

As soon as Xia Ren sat down, the boss came over with sharp eyes.

"Xia Ren, why are you here alone today, Jingjing and Gao Le?"

The owner is in his forties, and the barbecue restaurant is named after him.

For this question, Xia Ren could only smile bitterly.

Seeing him like this, Boss Gu looked at most of the people who came to eat today in pairs, thinking that he understood, smacking his lips at the moment, and joking: "These two people are too inauthentic, how can they get carried away?" Say, eat something today, I'll give you a 20% discount. ”

Faced with the boss's misunderstanding, Xia Ren didn't explain, and said: "Then let's have a bottle of snowflakes first, as well as two skewers of lamb kidneys, ten skewers of mutton, two skewers of leeks, and a roasted eggplant." ”

"Is that enough?"

Boss Gu raised his hand as he spoke, beckoning the clerk and niece to come over and report food to Xia Ren.

Seeing the young niece shyly walking away, Boss Gu rolled his eyes, did not lower his voice, and said, "Brother Xia, how do you feel Xiaohui, do you want me to match you?" ”

"Forget it, I don't even have a serious job, and Xiaohui may not be able to take a fancy to me."

Xia Ren then changed the topic and said, "Boss, why are you free to accompany me today, don't you have to look at the stove?" ”

"Old man!" Boss Gu looked at the busy young man in front of the oven not far away, and said with a smile: "My son dropped out of high school and has been in the store for two years, I will practice for him now, except for going to the wholesale market at four o'clock in the morning to buy, I try to let him take care of it alone at other times." ”

Although he said that, he immediately saw that there were more and more guests, and after chatting for a while, Boss Gu was still not at ease and went to get busy.

Xia Ren didn't make much money writing books before, and most of them chose to come here to eat barbecue when Gao Le and Yu Jingjing found various reasons to improve his food, and it was the first time he came here.

He didn't drink much, and after eating a bottle of beer, he was already a little dizzy.

Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly saw two familiar figures walking towards him.

Quickly wiped his mouth, Xia Ren didn't bother to settle the bill, and hid in the opposite direction.

The people who came were Gao Le and Yu Jingjing.

Yu Jingjing, female, from a wealthy family, and Xia Ren's childhood sweetheart, the next time they saw each other's bare butts, when they went to kindergarten, they forgot who proposed, and the three of them were farther than anyone to pee, not surprisingly, Xia Ren won this game - because Gao Le automatically abstained. Xia Ren now thinks that this guy was really bad when he was a child.

Gao Le is the most cheerful, Xia Ren can always come up with some whimsical ideas, Yu Jingjing is just like her name, and her personality is much quieter. The relationship between the three has been maintained until now, not so much friendship as more family affection.

Xia Ren didn't leave immediately, he was hiding behind a tree, his face full of incredulity.

[Task appearance: A class of infected body has been found, distance location: 15 meters, please seal and record the host as soon as possible, after completion, the host will be rewarded with achievement points according to the difficulty of the event.] 】

Fifteen meters is the distance between him and the two of them, and the system prompt also appears after seeing the two of them.

"Some of them are entangled in the infected!"

"But why can't I see it?"

He poked his head out and found no clues around the two of them.

At this moment, Gao Le suddenly felt something, and raised his head to look in his direction.

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Jingjing asked.

Gao Le frowned and looked at the street in the night, and said, "I seem to have seen Xia Ren just now. ”

He lowered his head, met Yu Jingjing's somewhat sad gaze, and changed his words: "It should be an illusion, I've been a little suspicious recently." ”

What he didn't say was that he had a similar feeling in the afternoon when he was in the hospital.

Yu Jingjing's expression was gloomy, noticing that the atmosphere was starting to become heavy, she asked, "Are you angry with Lili?" Why didn't I accompany her on Tanabata today, but asked me to come to this place. ”

Gu Li is Gao Le's girlfriend, the two met and confirmed their relationship in their junior year, and now they have been in a relationship for four years, and last time Gao Le told her that he was going to meet the woman's parents, but he never heard him say the follow-up.

"We've been a little strained lately." Mentioning this question, Gao Le rubbed his temples with a headache: "It's you, have you still had nightmares these two days?" If you really can't do it, just stop your work first, after all, your body is important. ”

"It's fine." Yu Jingjing smiled reluctantly.

Gao Le looked at her, and stopped talking.

What the two of them didn't know was that the place where they were sitting now was Xia Ren's just now, and the plates on the table had not been collected yet.

Boss Gu had just finished working at a table, and he happened to come over, and he was going to talk to Xia Ren a few more words, but he unexpectedly saw two other figures.

"Xia Ren, this kid, is too inauthentic, just now he said that he came by himself, and he didn't tell me if he didn't make an appointment with the two of you, and I also said that he would give him a 20% discount."

"Xia Ren?"

Gao Le and Yu Jingjing turned their heads at the same time: "Boss, you said Xia Ren came just now?" ”

Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were full of surprise.

Boss Gu thought they were joking, and said, "Don't pretend, isn't the thing on this table what he eats?" The two of us were still sitting here chatting just now, Xiaohui, did you say? ”

The waiter who was cleaning up the table next to him answered:

"Well, I saw that too."

Gao Le and Yu Jingjing looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Isn't what I just saw a hallucination?"

Gao Le muttered.

Yu stood up quietly, his eyes scanning back and forth on the street, looking anxious.

Boss Gu was taken aback by her sudden movement and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gao Le couldn't fully comprehend the current situation for a while, and explained: "Xia Ren, he had already died of illness three days ago! We were there when he was cremated! ”

"Huh?"

Boss Gu couldn't believe it, he looked at the mess on the table, and couldn't help but stammer: "That, this...... This...... What's going on? What the hell did I just see? ”

Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and the mobile phone rang.

[WeChat collection, 100 yuan.] 】

He turned on the screen and saw the payer, and immediately froze on the spot.

"Xia Ren!"

The aroma of barbecue filled the air, the noise and laughter were mixed together, and under the colorful lights, the people at the table were staggered, not paying the slightest attention to the abnormality of the three people here.

……

……

On the other side, Xia Qiudong opened the lunch box and put a piece of barbecue meat into her mouth, the delicious meat juice suddenly filled her mouth, and the aroma of cumin and barbecue meat lingered on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't help but shed tears.

On the coffee table next to it, there is a large bouquet of flowers, and a card is inserted in it, which reads: Take care of yourself.

Crying while eating in summer, autumn and winter:

"Which bastard knew that I was going to take advantage of this opportunity to lose weight, and he ordered barbecue meat for me, and finally lost two pounds!"

"Ahh

As soon as Xia Ren got home, he sneezed, "Who is scolding me behind my back?" ”

He rubbed his nose and went to the study, holding the Faceless Mask in his hand.

"Alas. I didn't expect to use you so soon. ”
