A hot pot restaurant with a lot of aroma.

Xu Qingli has already set a place, so he doesn't have to queue up to go in directly.

There are menus on the table, and there are also scan code orders.

Shen Xiyan saw that Xu Qingli had already scanned the code with his mobile phone and asked him to order, but he was bored and picked up the menu on the table to read.

"I ordered your favorite dish and the signature here, and you can see what is missing." Xu Qingli handed over his mobile phone.

Shen Xiyan refused, "No need, most of the dishes that must be ordered in hot pot are delicious,"

"You'd better take a look." Xu Qingli insisted on showing her.

Shen Xiyan stared at him, the latter also insisted, she pursed her lips and insisted, and finally took the phone, made a symbolic stroke on the mobile phone screen, and said to him, "Add a shredded potato." ”

"Okay." Xu Qingli took back the mobile phone and paid for it, and then put it away very seriously.

Soon the food was delivered,

Xu Qingli helped her as before,

Shen Xiyan looked at the red oil hot pot, and his thoughts drifted away for some reason.

Xu Qingli gave her a hairy belly as before, "You eat the hairy belly first, and I'll clip you the rest." ”

Shen Xiyan came back to his senses and said to him, "I can come by myself." ”

Xu Qingli responded with her mouth, but the movements of her subordinates still continued to help her pick up the dishes in the pot into the bowl, and then put them in front of her.

Shen Xiyan: "......"

Absentmindedly ate a piece of hairy belly, and the sudden spicy choking taste spread from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and he couldn't help coughing hard, and hurriedly grabbed the milk at hand and poured it into his mouth, and a glass of milk went down to barely stop the cough.

"How? Is it still spicy? ”

As soon as Shen Xiyan spoke, his voice became hoarse and magnetic, "It's okay, cough cough." ”

Xu Qingli chuckled, "Look at you, you are so tired that you can't concentrate, and you have to come by yourself, and you immediately choke on yourself, is it hot?" ”

"Nope." Shen Xiyan shook his head, lowered his head and began to eat the ice bean curd at hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Qingli has always taken the initiative to take care of her seriously, and she hasn't eaten much, but Shen Xiyan has been dealing with it absentmindedly.

He thought it was because of the previous quarrel, and she had forgotten it and remembered to settle accounts with him before.

Thinking of the past, Xu Qingli still couldn't help laughing.

Shaw Office Building.

Gao Tezhu came back from outside, Rong He didn't know which direction to come from, and called out to him, "Old Gao! ”

Gao Tezhu frowned and looked over, and when he saw that it was Rong He, his brows loosened, and he reminded her in a familiar tone, "I said you don't call me such a strange name, and what should I do if I shout so loudly here and be heard by others." ”

Rong He stepped on ten-centimeter high heels, and a crisp voice sounded in the lobby, "Then don't call me alias in front of my subordinates!" ”

Gao Tezhu's smile was mixed with a hint of joke, "How come, how good." ”

Rong He's eyes turned to him coldly, and Gao Tezhu continued to smile.

Rong He turned his eyes and saw what he was holding in his hand, and raised his eyebrows, "I received so many apples." ”

"What nonsense, this is the box and apples I went out and carefully bought." He took out a box from inside, "Since I saw you, I'll secretly give you one." ”

Rong He remembered seeing Mr. Shao's expression before, and after enduring it, he still chose to ask him, "Mr. Shao ordered you to buy it?" ”

"No, if yes, I wouldn't have stolen one from you."

Rong He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and took it, "Thank you then." ”

Gao Tezhu said with a smile on his face, "No thanks, Xiaohe~"

Rong He pursed the corners of his mouth speechlessly, turned around and walked out vigorously.

Gao Tezhu chuckled and turned to take the elevator upstairs.

On weekends, if the project progresses, many people come to the company to work overtime, and even Shao Yanxi has come to the company because of this incident until now.

There was a knock on the door, "Mr. Shao." ”

Shao Yanxi heard the sound of the door opening but didn't wait for the sound behind him, looked up, Gao Tezhu smiled and put the things in his hand on the table, "Mr. Shao, I think you should need this." ”

Shao Yanxi looked at a bag of gift boxes on the table, "What is this?" ”

"Apples, small gifts exchanged between friends and couples on Christmas Eve." Gao Tezhu explained with a smile, "Miss Shen has lived abroad for a few years, because she attaches great importance to Christmas Eve and Christmas,"

Tomorrow? Shao Yanxi secretly wrote it down, and didn't show any expression on his face, "Really?" ”

"That's right, there's also a bouquet of fragrant snow orchids, which has been placed in your car." Gao Tezhu raised his eyes and looked at Shao Yanxi's face, seeing that he was not emotional, he continued, "I also prepared a few Christmas gifts for you. ”

"Well, give it to me when I leave the company."

"Okay." Gao Tezhu left the office with a smile on his face.

Shao Yanxi leaned back on the back of the chair, pinched his eyebrows, closed his eyes and rested for a while, opened his eyes and looked at the gift box on the desktop, turned off the computer after looking at the time on the computer, got up and picked up the bag on the desktop.

Shen Xiyan tilted his head and was drowsy, Xu Qingli drove the car extremely slowly, wanting to extend the time with her forever.

The car stopped in front of the community, Xu Qingli turned his head sideways, the affection in his eyes was no longer hidden, his eyes were burning and staring at her sleeping face, his index finger was bent, and he scraped her cheek with the side of his fingers.

After a while, he brushed the hair that was sticking to his cheeks.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Xiyan woke up suddenly, and suddenly bumped into Xu Qingli's eyes with deep affection, paused, and dodged his eyes, "Arrived?"

"Well, I saw that you slept well, and I wanted to call you later."

Shen Xiyan slowly sat up straight with great sleepiness, looked outside, and asked with a stupid look, "How long have I been sleeping?" Why didn't you wake me up? What if I slept for a long time and you have to wait? ”

Xu Qingli couldn't help but laugh muffledly, his clear voice was as warm and soft as a spring breeze with pleasure, "It's okay, I can wait until you wake up, but I'll worry that you will be uncomfortable sleeping like this." ”

"It's definitely uncomfortable, I think my neck is starting to ache." Shen Xiyan pressed the back of his neck.

Xu Qingli took out the prepared gift and said in a suppressed voice, "Xiyan, you don't think you can accept that hairpin for no reason, then today's gift is a Christmas gift for you, and it's just a pearl necklace, it's not a valuable thing." ”

Shen Xiyan turned his head and lowered his eyes to see what he was holding in his hand, "I don't think it's necessary, I'll take away the flowers and apples you sent, it's a ...... Gifts with blessings are given to friends during the holidays. ”

"Xiyan~" Xu Qingli repeated his old skills, his eyes were sad Qi Meiyu looked at her with uncomfortable struggle, "At least let me give you a good gift that you like very much, although this gift is not very good, I just want you to accept it." ”

Shen Xiyan's voice suddenly cooled, and his eyes were sharp, "Xu Qingli." ”

"Did you follow me for a day and let me leave with sadness at the end?"

Shen Xiyan was stunned, and he always felt that what he said made him leave with sadness, and he meant something.

"Even if it's a friend, holiday gifts can be received, I don't expect you to give me a gift in return, now I just want you to accept the gift I specially prepared."

Shen Xiyan: "......"

The two got out of the car, Xu Qingli helped take down the flowers, and stood facing each other at the door, the street lamp stretched their figures very long.

Xu Qingli handed her the flowers in his hand, Shen Xiyan was too lazy to argue with him about it, and after holding the bouquet with both hands, he said weakly, "I'm leaving." ”

Xu Qingli waved to her, "Goodbye~" Suddenly, he whispered, "Thank you today." ”

Shen Xiyan's eyebrows loosened for a moment, then nodded calmly, turned around and walked in the direction of the door.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Shao Yanxi standing not far away looking at them, the incandescent light shining on him, and his deep and indifferent eyes were even colder than this cold winter.

Xu Qingli raised a smug smile at Shao Yanxi behind Shen Xiyan's back, "Mr. Shao, I didn't expect to meet you here so late." ”

Shao Yanxi lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Xiyan, who walked towards him with a bouquet of flowers and asked him with confusion, "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Xiyan didn't know that Shao Yanxi also lived here, thinking that this was one of Shao Yanxi's real estates, and his identity should live in a more luxurious house.

Xu Qingli saw Shen Xiyan ask him like this, and guessed in his heart that Shao Yanxi didn't live with her, and his mood was completely relaxed, "It's not that I don't remember what day it is, and hurriedly came over to make up for it, Mr. Shao, this is very wrong." ”

Shao Yanxi didn't give him a look, looked at Shen Xiyan and said, "I just came back from the company." ”

Come back?

Shen Xiyan understood from his words, his eyes widened in surprise, and he covered his mouth, "You ......"

"Hmm." Shao Yanxi nodded in acknowledgement, turned sideways and moved out of the way, "Let's go." ”

Shen Xiyan nodded, turned back to Xu Qingli, "Go back quickly." ”

When Shen Xiyan walked in, Shao Yanxi followed behind her, and suddenly turned his head, his deep and indifferent eyes revealed condescending arrogance.

Xu Qingli chased after him with a cold face, but the security personnel stopped him and reminded him coldly, "Outsiders need to get permission from the owner to enter." ”

"You live here too? Why didn't you say it before? ”

"Huh?" Shao Yanxi glanced at the flower in her hand, "You didn't ask, I thought you didn't care about me." ”

Shen Xiyan had already seen his action of glancing at the flowers, as well as his words later, and paused to look up at the expression on his face carefully, he was still so expressionless, and he couldn't see why.

But he could still feel the low breath around him, explaining, "I didn't expect this. ”

"Hmm."

In front of the elevator door,

"Mr. Shao! I sent something here. Gaote's assistant came over with two gift bags and a bouquet of flowers in one hand, and handed over the things in his hand to Shao Yanxi.

Shao Yanxi turned around and stared at her with dark and deep eyes, and said to her in a serious tone, "The ritual of Christmas Eve." ”

Shen Xiyan was stunned, looked at the flower in Shao Yanxi's hand, and then looked down at the flower in his arms, and still held the gift given by Xu Qingli in his hand, not that she didn't want to accept it, but her hand didn't allow so many things.

Gao Tezhu spoke out with great discernment, and stretched out his hand very understandingly, "Miss Shen, I'll help you take the things in your hand, and the gift must be given by hand to achieve the ceremony." ”

Shao Yanxi: "Hmm. ”

Shen Xiyan: "......?" ”
