Chapter 12: "The Little Couple"
Shen Hexuan, who was originally thinking about the "Xihua Factory", focused his attention on the house number as soon as he heard Ning Xi's introduction. Shen Hexuan recalled a sentence written in some classics he had read abroad, "In China, some people will think that the word 4 is unlucky, so many real estate projects and even some businesses will avoid the number 4." ”
Ning Xi hadn't paid attention to the details before, and when he heard Shen Hexuan say it, he listened to it with relish.
Unconsciously, the two stayed in the corridor for a long time, until the old woman downstairs reminded, "Young man, when are you going to talk about it?" You two are in the way of the old woman! ”
The old woman's kind reminder made Shen Hexuan and Ning Xi reflect where they were. Ning Xi followed the source of the sound and looked downstairs. I saw a gray-haired old woman holding the vegetables she had just bought in her left hand, and limping towards Ningxi with a cane in her right hand.
"Excuse me, old woman, do you need our help?" Ning Xi saw that the old woman was unable to move, so she was ready to step forward to help.
Shen Hexuan looked at the old man with gray temples in front of him, dressed in simple clothes and holding a cane in his hand, and was also ready to come forward to help.
The old woman looked at the two young people in front of her who wanted to help with her confused eyes, and said earnestly: "Young man, you still have your affairs, so you don't have to waste time on me, an old woman." The old woman's home is behind you. You two should go back to cooking and eating early! I'm hungry, wife, and you're hungry too! ”
As soon as the old woman's words came out, it was not only Ning Xi who was thundered. Even Shen Hexuan didn't react for a moment when he was confused by these words. Shen Hexuan thought that there was also a woman with such a appearance standing next to him back then, and that woman often went to the supermarket with him to buy vegetables and cook. Now I am standing with this beautiful woman again.........
Ning Xi's little face was suffocated, and she looked at the old woman without saying a word. I don't know that Ning Xi at this time seems to have a trace of enjoyment of the old woman's words. At this time, Ning Xi did not refute what the old woman said for the first time, but waited for Shen Hexuan's reaction from the bottom of his heart.
Although Ning Xi's reaction was not discovered by herself, she was discovered by the old woman standing aside. The old woman was stunned when she saw her words, and she didn't continue to greet her, but walked straight to her door and opened the door.
The old woman's series of movements were very slow, and Ning Xi stood aside and looked at the old woman and Shen Hexuan. At the same time, Shen Hexuan also glanced at Ning Xi.
Slowly, the eyes of the two converged at one point, and some invisible wave in the air began to touch, causing a violent tremor.
Ning Xi took the lead in taking away his gaze, trying not to be disturbed by it. When Shen Hexuan saw Ning Xi's actions, he also knew that he had lost his temper just now. Shen Hexuan reminded himself in his heart that although the face in front of him was very similar to Qu Jing, this person was not Qu Jing.
After a hint in his heart, Shen Hexuan calmly said, "Let's go!" How long will it take for you to arrive? ”
"Come on, it's upstairs!" Ning Xi took the vegetables that had just been placed on the ground and looked towards his head.
The two walked up one floor, and saw a big "Fu" on the door. This is the most unique door on this floor, and there is a big "Fu" in the middle of this door. But this "Fu" is very different from the Fu posted at the door of our ordinary people's homes, and the "Fu" in front of us looks like it has been scratched countless times with a knife.
In addition to this blessing, this door is also scarred. In addition to the obvious kitchen knife marks, there are also some pocket knife scratches of different sizes.
"This, those debt collectors?" Although Shen Hexuan didn't want to touch Ning Xi's sadness when he saw this scene at first, once Shen Hexuan thought of his guess, he wanted to get a different answer from Ning Xi's mouth.
Ning Xi, who was about to take out the key to open the door, stopped the movement in his hand after hearing Shen Hexuan's words.
Ning Xi followed Shen Hexuan's gaze and saw the hideous "Fu" that had been cut by a knife. Ning Xi gently stroked it with his hand and said, "I remember that for a long time, that group of people were holding knives at the door, slashing at the gate while scolding countless ugly words in their mouths. ”
Shen Hexuan knew that Ning Xi had experienced the darkness, and now that he had mentioned Ning Xi's sad past, Shen Hexuan couldn't help but blame himself. Shen Hexuan subconsciously comforted Ning Xi in the same way he had comforted Qu Jing before, and gently put his hand on Ning Xi's shoulder and patted it gently.
Shen Hexuan's trick really worked, and Ning Xi, who was still indulging in the sad memories of the past, felt that he was full of strength. Ning Xi, who had frowning brows and gray eyes, instantly felt radiant, and turned back to Shen Hexuan and smiled slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
That smile reminded Shen Hexuan of Qu Jing again, but the sentence "Mr. Shen" also brought Shen Hexuan back to reality.
"It's nothing, I'm still waiting for your meal for me! The mood of the chef will directly affect the taste of the food. You're going to have fun cooking for me! Shen Hexuan said with a smile. A seemingly light sentence actually buried Shen Hexuan's wry smile.
As everyone knows, since Qu Jing's accident, Shen Hexuan has been reluctant to cook at home. Before Qu Jing's death, Shen Hexuan's three meals a day were all made by Qu Jing himself. "I don't know which of you two sisters is the better cook!" Shen Hexuan couldn't help but muttering as he looked at the background of Ning Ning entering the kitchen.
Ning Xi, who was sharp-eared, heard Shen Hexuan talking to himself behind him, so he would turn his head to look at Shen Hexuan and shout, "Mr. Shen, what did you just say behind me?" My family is small, if you don't like it, let's eat outside! ”
Shen Hexuan, who finally wanted to try home-cooked food, frowned for a while when he heard that he was going to eat outside. Although he usually eats dishes made by five-star chefs, he faces the home-cooked side dishes cooked by Ning Xi himself. Obviously, Shen Hexuan is still willing to choose the second option.
"Don't dislike it, you just have to make your dishes! I'll start with that, if you don't make it delicious this time. You're going to get to my satisfaction! Shen Hexuan shouted as he looked at Ning Xi, who was wearing an apron in the kitchen.
"Good! Good! Good! Then I'll show my housekeeping skills! …… Who told you to take me to a private hospital for treatment, and only charge me half of the medical bill, and I will repay you for the delicious food! In the first half of the sentence, Ning Xi shouted loudly, but only Ning Xi could hear the second half of the sentence.
Shen Hexuan saw that the little woman inside had promised to cook food for herself, so he looked around. There was a musty smell in this room, probably because it had not been inhabited for a long time. The objects that were originally neatly placed have also become fragmented because of the group of debt collectors. But judging from the general furnishings of the house, it is not difficult to see that the owner of the house is a person who loves life.
Shen Hexuan stood next to the sofa, found a relatively clean place, took out his laptop and began to browse the files in the mailbox quickly. In just half an hour, there were 50 unread emails in Shen Hexuan's mailbox.
Shen Hexuan frowned when he saw these emails. According to the company's system, Shen Hexuan must be asked to personally pass the mail, which are all documents of large-scale events. Generally, small things are solved by a dedicated manager and Shen Hexuan's assistant. But in just half an hour, there were 50 emails from different groups of people, which shows that in this short half hour, a lot of big things have happened within the group.
After Shen Hexuan saw so many emails, he clicked on his mobile phone. There were 15 missed calls on the screen, of which 9 were calls from assistants, and the rest were made by the company's vice presidents, including Qiao Chufeng.
