After getting off work, Gu Nianbin was still sitting in the office, Zhou Ting was grinding outside for a long time, and she didn't see him come out, after thinking about it, she still stood on the door and knocked: "Boss, I made an appointment with Miss Xia for dinner in the evening, and the time is almost up." ”

Gu Nianbin snorted, slowly stood up, put on his coat, and asked as he walked, "Did you send my clothes?" ”

"I only bought some changes, and the coat you usually wear just doesn't have a size, and it won't arrive until tomorrow, so ......"

"It's okay, it's okay tonight." Gu Nianbin walked to her side and stopped, as if he had something to explain, his brows furrowed, and he walked out without saying anything.

Zhou Ting knew that he must have wanted to talk about Du Xiaoxian, so she mustered up the courage to catch up: "Boss, Xiaoxian ...... her"

Gu Nianbin originally had a calm face, but as soon as she mentioned Du Xiaoxian, there was a little anger on her face: "Don't worry about her." ”

The words were very short, and the voice was very cold, and Zhou Ting knew that she couldn't go on any more. She stood at the door and watched Gu Nianbin stride away, she couldn't figure out what Du Xiaoxian did to make the boss so angry? It's not like I've had trouble with Du Xiaoxian before, but no matter how much trouble I have, I've never lived separately, and this time it's really big.

She struggled for a long time, called Du Xiaoxian, and asked straight to the point: "Xiaoxian, did you quarrel with the boss?" ”

Du Xiaoxian was silent for a moment before humming softly.

Zhou Ting said: "Xiaoxian, at this juncture, how can you quarrel with the boss?" You're pushing him to Xia Xiaowan's side, do you know that they will have dinner together tonight? ”

"Sister Zhou," Du Xiaoxian's voice came from the other end of the phone, but it was very calm: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." ”

Zhou Ting was almost angry: "Are you good? You've all quarreled and yelled okay? Xia Xiaowan was already eyeing the boss, you are broad-hearted, I tell you, call the boss quickly, or kill it directly, I will send you the address, you must show some momentum at this time, I taught you with Nina last time, you haven't forgotten, right? ”

"Sister Zhou, I haven't eaten the noodles after cooking, and I'm going to get cold in a while, thank you for telling me this." She meant to end the conversation, but she didn't hang up the phone, she was still used to politely waiting for Zhou Ting to hang up first.

Zhou Ting took a deep breath and wanted to make another effort: "Xiaoxian, men are the same as women, they all have to be coaxed, the boss loves you so much, as long as you ......"

"Sister Zhou, the noodles are really getting cold." Du Xiaoxian interrupted her, she really didn't want to listen to it anymore.

Zhou Ting knew that Du Xiaoxian couldn't make sense, the little girl was tendoned, and no one was helpless, so she had to say: "Think about it yourself, close the doors and windows at home alone, be careful." ”

"I know," Du Xiaoxian also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Sister Zhou." ”

After hanging up the phone, she sat still, looking at the noodles on the table, knowing that Gu Nianbin would not come back to eat, but she didn't expect that as soon as they separated, he asked Xia Xiaowan to eat. He really still has Xia Xiaowan in his heart, he has said so much and confessed so much, but in fact, it is all in vain, it is really in vain.

Although she knew that she was not worthy of him, Gu Nianbin confessed her heart to her again and again, she didn't go to her heart, and during the time she was entangled to stay, she hoped that all this would be solved suddenly, back to the time when there was no Xia Xiaowan, and back to the time when Gu Nianbin was not in pain. But all this is in vain!

Her heart was so sad that she seemed to be standing in the middle of a barrenness, and there was nothing but her standing alone in the wind and shivering. His eyes looked at the bowl of beef noodles fixedly, and finally in the blink of an eye, a tear fell into the bowl, very light, very light, and did not make any waves, as if it had never happened at all.

That bowl of noodles was actually cold before Zhou Ting called. I didn't take a single bite, because I put aside a little lard, and white oil spots floated in the soup. But it didn't ruin the appearance of the whole bowl of noodles. She learned to cook noodles secretly, every time Gu Nianbin cooked noodles, she watched in the kitchen, and wrote down the order by heart, Gu Nianbin saw that she was willing to learn, and would also teach her some tricks, such as mincing beef, sprinkling green onions out of the pot and then sprinkling, and putting some lard will be more fragrant......

It's not easy to make a small bowl of beef noodles, and every procedure is memorized in my heart, and I have never practiced it, but I don't know why I think about it today. She did it very slowly, as if it was some delicate work, not sloppy at all, and finally the noodles came out of the pot, scooped up in a bowl, and put on the green vegetables, as well as the slippery/tender beef, which was fragrant. Regardless of whether it is good or not, at least it looks good, and it looks much better than the gnocchi she cooked before.

With such a bowl of noodles in front of her, if it was usual, she must have moved her index finger, and she couldn't wait to eat it with chopsticks. But today, she just sat in a daze. It's as if making such a bowl of noodles is just for enjoyment, not for eating.

When she did it, she was concentrating, she didn't think about anything, and her heart was very peaceful, but once she was done, she jumped out of the realm of selflessness and returned to reality, and couldn't help but start thinking crankily.

What did Gu Nianbin take Xia Xiaowan to eat? Will they take her to places they have been? No, the two of them only remembered more places, like the cake shop......

When Du Xiaoxian was thinking crankily at home, Gu Nianbin and Xia Xiaowan were sitting in a private room in a Chinese restaurant eating.

Gu Nianbin said: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you want to eat, but I want to drink some liquor, so I booked a Chinese restaurant." ”

Xia Xiaowan smiled: "It's okay, I don't care." She thought that Gu Nianbin would order Western food because she liked that atmosphere, but now he said that he didn't know what she wanted to eat......

"What are you looking for me to say?" Gu Nianbin poured himself wine and said, "Don't drink the liquor, drink the juice." ”

Xia Xiaowan said: "No, I also drink, and I feel too aggrieved." ”

Gu Nianbin glanced at her and said, "Okay, you can drink some too." He poured Xia Xiaowan a glass of wine.

The two clinked glasses, Gu Nianbin took a sip of wine, the high-concentration liquor, the entrance was spicy, and he couldn't help frowning: "What are you aggrieved?" ”

"It's nothing," Xia Xiaowan said wistfully, "I just think it's too difficult to live." ”

"Why are you so pessimistic?" Gu Nianbin took a chopstick dish: "This doesn't look like your character?" ”

"People change," Xia Xiaowan smiled bitterly: "Brother Nian Bin, in fact, I shouldn't have asked you out, now there are rumors outside, if people see me with you, wouldn't they be confessing?" ”

"Do you mind that?" Gu Nianbin squinted at her.

"I'm afraid you mind." Xia Xiaowan stared into his eyes.

"Me?" The corners of Gu Nianbin's mouth curved slightly, as if he was smiling, and only said half-loudly: "I don't have anything to mind." ”

"Good!" Xia Xiaowan suddenly said loudly: "Cheers for your unmind." She raised her glass, but did not touch it, but leaned her neck and drank it down.

Gu Nianbin hesitated for a moment, dried the wine, and said, "Don't drink so violently, be careful of getting drunk." ”

"I'm desperate to get drunk," Xia Xiaowan chuckled twice, her smile was cold and lonely: "Brother Nianbin, I think my life is really bad, I used to be ignorant, I didn't know how to cherish, I missed you, and now I want to turn back, but you fall in love with someone else." I'm just imagining a meal with you like an ordinary friend, and I'm afraid of causing criticism, saying that I want to rob someone of my boyfriend, and I really don't know what to do. She stopped and poured herself a cup, filled it for Gu Nianbin, and then said: "I thought I would be happier when I came back and returned to my relatives and friends, but no, some were just indifferent, they just wanted to see my jokes, this world is really indifferent, maybe I did something wrong again, and I shouldn't have come back." ”

She laughed again, poured the wine into her mouth, and added another wine, but she looked down at the gold-drawn glass, and said no more.

Gu Nianbin put a chopstick dish into her bowl: "Don't patronize and drink, eat some food." ”

"Thank you, Brother Nian Bin," Xia Xiaowan took the dish and sent it to her mouth: "If there is anyone who is good to me now, it can only be Brother Nian Bin." ”

"Why is it just me, are your parents and Nanze not good to you?"

"Of course they treat me well, but," Xia Xiaowan dried up the wine again, "My parents are old and don't want them to worry about me anymore, my brother is now in charge of the Xia family, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and I don't want him to be distracted by me." So I can't say a lot of things to them, so I have to hold them in my heart, Brother Bin, I feel like I'm stuck in the mud, I can't go up and down, I don't know what to do. ”

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wan," Gu Nianbin said, "I didn't know it would cause you such a bother." ”

"Brother Nian Bin, did you say you could compensate me last time?"

Xia Xiaowan was about to pour wine again, but was held down by Gu Nianbin: "Don't drink, you're almost drunk." ”

"You let me drink it," Xia Xiaowan looked at him, tears slowly oozing from her eyes, "I feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable." ”

Gu Nianbin looked at her for a while and let go of his hand, "How do you want me to compensate you?" ”

"I'm very unhappy during this time," Xia Xiaowan filled the wine glass and said with tears in her eyes: "I always want to find someone to talk to, but I don't know who else to talk to except you." ”

Gu Nianbin moved his lips, and was about to speak, Xia Xiaowan said again: "Of course, I know that now is on the cusp, I can't look for you, besides, you are still so busy, I just said it casually, you, don't go to your heart." It's boring, it's boring, and you can't get sick anyway. ”

"Xiao Wan," Gu Nianbin's heart was not happy, but seeing Xia Buwan like this, his heart was even more unpleasant, "I am very sad to see you like this, I hope you are good, you are as happy as before, you don't have to pay attention to what others say, even if we meet, we don't need to explain anything to others, if you are really bored, just call me, I'll talk to you, okay?" ”

Xia Xiaowan wiped a handful of tears and smiled, "Brother Nian Bin is the best for me." ”
