14. It's hard to help yourself

Song Lanxi was bored looking under the window, and suddenly she saw a familiar figure - Fang Xu who had met last time.

He looked a little reserved, and was fiddling with his phone with his head slightly when her phone rang.

You actually called me?! Song Lanxi couldn't help but be a little excited, but she restrained her emotions.

"Hey, hello," she looked at him from the window, "that one?" ”

"Miss Song, hello, I'm Fang Xu, we met once, I don't know if you still remember me."

Fang Xu's voice on the phone was low and good, worthy of him, so he could also capture her heart.

"Fang Xu? Oh, of course remember, what's the matter with calling me? ”

"I ...... I'm sorry Miss Song, I originally came to you this time to return the umbrella, but I realized that I forgot to bring it until this time. He spoke nervously, as if he was afraid that she would be upset by it.

When Song Lanxi heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "You came to me to talk to me about this?" ”

"No, no......" Through the window, she could see some of his small gestures of shyness.

"I don't know if Miss Song is inconvenient," Fang Xu touched his reddened ears, "I want to ...... Have a cup of coffee, please. ”

I can't stand it so quickly.

"I don't have anything to do now, so I'll reluctantly promise you."

"Okay." Fang Xu's face radiated brilliance, "I'm on my way to the Federation now, and I suddenly disturbed, I was presumptuous." ”

On the way back to the union, it's obviously downstairs.

"Okay, I'll see you later." She hung up, then grimacing her cheerful expression.

Since the last time she said goodbye, she has often thought of him, and she seems to have fallen in love with each other at first sight.

She had fantasized before that when she was looking for a boyfriend, she would have to find someone like her brother, and Fang Xu had a trait very similar to Song Chang, and whether that trait was responsibility or responsibility, or other abstract things, Song Lanxi herself couldn't tell.

She was wearing her loungewear and hadn't started to change yet, but she wasn't in a hurry. Now that I think about it, Fang Xu is giving her time to prepare, I can't imagine that it is quite intimate.

Her room is fresh and tastefully furnished.

In the cabinet fixed to the wall is a row of high-end looking bags, and on the shelf next to it are some CDs, mostly sweet songs, and some classical music by Mozart, Bach and others.

After drawing a light makeup and changing the skirt, Song Lanxi chose a handbag suitable for matching the skirt.

Fang Xu saw Song Lanxi walking towards him, he licked his lips nervously, his ears burning uncontrollably.

She looks beautiful and wears a solid color dress that outlines the curve of her waist, which is even more stunning and beautiful than the last time she was in the rain.

As she approached him, a familiar mint citrus perfume wafted by, fresh and sweet.

"Sorry, I waited."

"No," Fang Xu looked more and more nervous, "I've just arrived." ”

"But by the way, how did you know I lived here, I forgot to swap addresses last time, and...... My phone number. ”

"The last time it rained, I accidentally saw that the person who came to pick you up was my colleague Liu Han, who lives in the United Society, so I guessed the address."

"I see, what about my phone?"

"Q...... Ask your brother Song Chang for it. ”

"You're pretty smart." Seeing Fang Xu's nervous and clumsy appearance, Song Lanxi felt a little cute.

In the café not far from the Federation, Fang Xu gentlemanly pulled the chair away and invited Song Lanxi to sit down.

The waiter brought over two cups of coffee, and they were surrounded by the mellow smell of coffee.

Song Lanxi, who was sitting opposite Fang Xu, slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon, her fingers slender and faintly pink.

"Miss Song, has something happened to your family recently?"

"What?" Song Lanxi frowned for a moment, but then returned to his original state. She didn't expect Fang Xu's first words in the café to ask her about her family affairs.

"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?"

"Uh...... Everyday greetings only. Fang Xu also felt that this question was a bit abrupt, "Recently, the chairman and Song Chang have looked weird, so I asked." ”

"It's really what you think, Dad and my brother have had a little conflict recently, but it's not in the way."

"What contradiction?" Fang Xu's eyes were earnest, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know more about your family, if you don't want to say it, you can not say it." ”

"We're just friends now," Song Lanxi opened her lips lightly, her face flushed, "You just want to know my family like this." ”

"Ah......" Fang Xu realized that what he had just said was a little inappropriate, "No...... I just ......"

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." She blinked, her thick eyelashes fluttering. "But since you asked, I'm also trying to find someone to talk to about what happened at home."

She took a sip of her coffee, and felt that the aroma and taste of the coffee here were still a little lacking.

"My brother had a disagreement with my dad a few days ago because of some things," she looked at Fang Xu with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason for the matter." ”

She was talking about Song Kang's secret letting Song Chang destroy the documents, which the other members of the federation didn't know about.

Fang Xu nodded in understanding.

"My brother disapproves of Dad's handling of things, plus ......"

Coupled with the cause of his mother's death, Song Chang felt that his father was an accomplice in killing his mother.

In Song Lanxi's opinion, he was also in pain when his father hid the medicine, and no one was wrong with his mother's death. But she wasn't going to say anything about it.

"In addition, my brother is a wood and is not good at expressing himself, so there will naturally be contradictions."

"That's right, thank you Miss Song for telling me this."

"It's me who should thank you." She tasted the coffee in front of her, felt that it was neither hot nor cold, and then took the cup and drank it all. "It's much more comfortable to say it, otherwise I always feel like there is a stone in my heart."

She crossed her hands and held her chin, her eyes shining with anticipation. "Having said all this, I don't know your family yet, tell me about it."

As soon as Song Lanxi's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly sank.

Talking about his family, Fang Xu's head suddenly lowered, and his face gradually became solemn.

He already had some twilight on his body, but now his expression was solemn, which made him even more twilight.

Seeing this, the empathetic Song Lanxi immediately changed his words and said, "Fang Xu, let's go for a walk outside." ”

"Okay." His low response came from the other side.

As soon as he walked into the store, Lu Xiao noticed that the owner liked golf very much.

The paintings on the walls that appear to be some kind of golf course are also decorated with antique golf clubs, and the round coasters have patterns reminiscent of golf ball pits.

This shop is where Yang Zhexuan and Sun Bo often come to.

"Zhexuan, here." Sun Bo sat by the window and waved at him.

"It's been a long time."

After Yang Zhexuan sat down, a bartender walked over.

"The same old way." He said.

Lu Xiao didn't want to meet Sun Bo, but Sun Bo was Yang Zhexuan's buddy, and Yang Zhexuan called him before returning to Windy City, saying that he would talk to him when he went back.

Now that he's in the Windy City, not coming to him makes people suspicious.

"yes, I haven't seen you in two years, and you're handsome again." As he spoke, Sun Bo swung his fist.

Yang Zhexuan also swung his fist and touched him.

Sun Bo and Yang Zhexuan are hanging, they feel both sunny and handsome, and they also have common hobbies - mountaineering, cross-country and shooting, they resonate at the same frequency, no wonder they can become good friends.

Lu Xiao, as his stand-in, naturally likes these.

"Where do you work now?"

"I'm in the Federation right now."

"I've heard about the union, and it seems that your work is quite challenging."

"Haha, it's okay."

"But I remember you used to love chemistry, why didn't you do it?"

"I like chemistry very much, in fact, I also interned in the chemistry research department at this time last year, but I think I may be Ye Gonghaolong."

He slowed down and continued: "When I put all my energy into chemistry research, I found that I didn't like chemistry, I just liked the fun and wonderful side of it, and what really awaited me was some trivial experiments, sometimes a data did not match, and I had to repeat the experiment several times, which was not what I liked, so I quit." ”

"Then why did you enter the federation again?"

"Because ......"

Sun Bo just lost his job last year and went through several rounds to find a job. When he went to the United Nations for an interview, he met her by chance.

She has an outstanding temperament and is a very attractive woman.

Just a glimpse, just a smile back, fascinated him.

It's a pity that she doesn't have him in her eyes.

"Because of what?"

When Yang Zhexuan asked, it happened that the bartender came over with Jiang wine and ice cubes.

"Thank you." Sun Bo took a sip of his wine glass and exhaled, "It's so delicious, this glass of wine seems to be able to relieve me a lot of pressure." ”

He added a few ice cubes to the wine, and his eyes moved to him: "Don't talk about me, what are your plans to come back this time?" ”

Lu Xiao hadn't drunk the transparent liquid in the sherry glass, so he learned from Sun Bo to add a few ice cubes.

Looks like we need to learn a little bit about wine.

"I'm learning how to manage a hotel." He took a sip, the alcohol was not high, and there was a hint of sweetness in the mellow taste, which he didn't like.

"Yes, your family has a family inheritance."

Seeing Yang Zhexuan's drinking, Sun Bo felt a strange feeling in his heart, but this feeling was fleeting.

"My good brother, don't make fun of me."

"Nothing." He touched Yang Zhexuan's wine glass.

He is actually very envious of Yang Zhexuan, and he is very envious of the children who have the help of their parents, who can take fewer detours. But it doesn't matter, as long as you find the right direction, you can walk very slowly but steadily.

At the moment when he whispered in his heart, something suddenly flashed in Sun Bo's mind, and he tried to capture it, and the things he couldn't remember just now suddenly became clear.

He remembered that when Zhexuan drank Jiang wine, he always only added a piece of ice, and said that adding too much would affect the taste.

But he didn't ask, after all, that was two years ago.

People change over time, and it's normal for food preferences to change, maybe Zhexuan changed his taste in Winterfell, he told himself.
