[The truth, these days, how can a handsome guy be single]

……

Qi Xia clicked on the photo and found that the person in the photo was not Chen Xifan.

Did he arrive early?

Qi Xia hurriedly clicked on Chen Xifan's avatar and sent him a message: [Are you downstairs? 】

Chen Xifan replied almost in seconds: [Well, I just arrived. 】

How could it be that when he first arrived, he had already been at least 30 minutes when he looked at the time when the photos were posted in the group.

Qi Xia suddenly couldn't sit still, [I'm sorry, wait for me for another ten minutes.] 】

Chen Xifan: [Take your time, don't rush. 】

Science Times doesn't have a culture of overtime, just get the job done. Finally survived ten minutes, at 5:40, Qi Xia packed up her things and clocked out of work, and when she was waiting for the elevator, she was a little anxious.

When I entered the elevator and the door was about to close, someone outside shouted, "Wait." ”

Her colleague Xu Shankai caught up and followed him to the elevator. Xu Shankai is from the photography group, three years older than Qi Xia, and the two have worked together on interview projects, so they are quite familiar.

Xu Shankai: "Are you free tomorrow?" I happen to have a few Universal Studios tickets here, can I call Gan Yao and them to play together? ”

Qi Xia said: "I'm sorry, there is something tomorrow." ”

"Dating a boyfriend?"

"No, my sister is here in Beijing and plans to take her around."

Xu Shankai still didn't give up, "You can take her with you." ”

Qi Xia had a little headache, she and Xu Shankai entered the magazine office at about the same time, and some time ago everyone made jokes about the team building, Qi Xia didn't know if she was sensitive, and always felt that Xu Shankai had been a little too attentive to herself recently.

She smiled, "No, my sister is more introverted and doesn't like to hang out with strangers. ”

"Okay, we'll talk about it when you're free."

The elevator descends and soon it takes you to the first floor.

It would be the rush hour after work, and a crowd of people poured out of the building, Qi Xia looked for Chen Xifan, and when he looked up, he saw him standing next to the fountain downstairs.

Because he doesn't fly in a row today, Chen Xifan is dressed more casually, with a white T inside a fog blue shirt and a pair of black trousers underneath. He stood casually, boredomically kicking the pebbles on the side of the road, and his eyes looked at the entrance of the building from time to time.

's excessively outstanding temperament and appearance, like a flash of light in the gray world, it is difficult for people not to notice him.

Seeing Qi Xia, he smiled and walked over with the car key in his hand.

Qi Xia was embarrassed: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

Chen Xifan: "I didn't wait long, now to go?" ”

"Okay."

The Cantonese restaurant was in a nearby shopping mall, less than 600 meters away, and the two decided to walk there.

didn't take a few steps, who knew that Xu Shankai actually called her behind her: "Qi Xia-"

Qi Xia and Chen Xifan turned their heads in unison.

Xu Shankai trotted over, his eyes fell on Chen Xifan, and he paused for a moment, "This is ......"

"He was my high school classmate." Qi Xia felt a little embarrassed, and introduced to Chen Xifan: "This is my colleague. ”

Xu Shankai smiled: "Hello." ”

Chen Xi was thoughtful and nodded, but his tone was a little light: "Fortunately." ”

The atmosphere was stagnant, and Qi Xia asked Xu Shankai: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Oh-" Xu Shankai reacted slowly, took out something from his pocket and handed it to her, "Your badge just fell in the elevator, didn't you notice it?" ”

Qi Xia saw that it was really her badge, she took it, and said, "Thank you, I didn't even find it." ”

"It's okay, where are you going? I'm driving, do I need to give you a ride? ”

Without waiting for Qi Xia to answer, Chen Xifan took the lead and said, "No, it's nearby." ”

"Oh, then I'll go first, see you on Monday."

Qi Xia: "Uh-huh, bye-bye." ”

This little episode passed quickly, and Qi Xia and Chen Xifan continued to go to the mall.

Neither of them spoke on the road, and Qi Xia was thinking about finding something to talk about, when he suddenly heard Chen Xifan ask, "What was the boy's name just now?" ”

Qi Xia didn't understand why he was suddenly interested in this, but he still answered honestly: "Xu Shankai." ”

"Xu Shankai." Chen Xifan repeated the name gently, and his tone was no different from usual, "What does he do?" ”

"The photographer of our magazine used to work in an advertising agency, but then he was poached by the editor-in-chief with a high salary......

At this time, they happened to pass an underground garage when a white SUV pulled out of the exit and suddenly honked its horn twice at them.

Qi Xia was busy talking and didn't pay attention, when he heard the horn and turned around, the SUV was already close at hand.

In the flash of lightning, the people around her grabbed her arm and pulled her back sharply.

Qi Xia wore a sundress today and a thin knitted sweater. The warmth of his palm passed through his shirt to his skin, and at that moment, her whole body froze.

The familiar mint fragrance hit her, and in the next moment, she crashed into his arms.

Olfactory memory awakening.

In an English class many years ago, the day Chen Xifan unexpectedly became her tablemate, she also smelled this familiar smell. and the third year of high school went to climb Yanmeng Mountain, Qi Xia on the bus reached out to help him block the sun, and when he got off the bus, Chen Xifan gave her a mint candy......

She subconsciously raised her eyes and met his.

Chen Xifan still held her arm with one hand and whispered, "Be careful." ”

Qi Xia came back to his senses, his mind was a little confused, "Well, thank you." ”

Chen Xifan quickly let go, but she still felt that the temperature of that inch of skin was a little high.

There were quite a lot of people in this area, and it was a bit noisy around, and neither of them spoke again.

The power of habit was terrifying, and while walking, Qi Xia found that he would still glance at him from time to time as before. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, obviously it had been so long, why couldn't she change it.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the Cantonese restaurant, probably because the average price was too high, there were not too many people, and they had made a reservation in advance, and they were taken to the booth.

Chen Xifan handed her the menu, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Qi Xia took it and opened it to look at it twice, and the phone suddenly rang, and it was Qi Yuan calling.

She grabbed her phone and said, "I'm going to answer the phone, you can do it." ”

"Okay, is there a taboo?"

"I'm not a picky eater, it's okay."

Qi Xia grabbed her mobile phone and went to the terrace to answer the phone, she was in a hurry, and when she passed Chen Xifan's seat, the corner of her clothes gently brushed his cheek, and Chen Xifan was stunned.

People have gone far away, but there is a gardenia smell in the air, fresh and elegant, like the sun after heavy snow in winter, cold with a little tenderness.

He couldn't help but think of the feeling of hitting his chest head-on when he grabbed Qi Xia's arm to avoid the car on the way he came, and his upper body was numb at that time.

Chen Xifan subconsciously looked at the terrace, and saw Qi Xia wearing a knee-length skirt and a knitted cardigan, revealing her slender and white calves, and her waist seemed to be able to hold it with one palm. Her shoulder-length hair was spread out, and she was smiling all the time with her face half-up, and her eyebrows and eyes were curvy.

Chen Xifan couldn't help but open his mobile phone and search the "Science Times" electronic magazine, and the name written in the column of the reporter's signature was Qi Xia.

With excellent looks, strong business ability, and proficiency in foreign languages, it's no wonder that some people are worried.

There is a strange common thinking between men, although it is the first time to meet Xu Shankai, Chen Xifan can see that in his eyes, Qi Xia is not an ordinary colleague.

Realizing that he had been watching for a long time, Chen Xifan looked away and lowered his head to order.

The phone call was from Qi Yuan, and the little girl couldn't stay home, saying that she had contacted a classmate and wanted to go to the University of International Business and Economics in advance.

The university will start in a few days, and Qi Xia thinks that Qi Yuan will have to be independent sooner or later when she becomes an adult, and Xing Anya has taught her how to take the subway and the bus before.

Qi Xia instructed her: "You take the subway line 5, get off at the University Town station, and walk 600 east to the school gate. ”

"I know, I've already checked the route."

Qi Xia: "Is your classmate reliable?" ”

Qi Yuan: "Of course it's reliable, we've been in the same class for three years, and I know both her parents." ”

"Then you go, come back early, and call me if you have something."

"Moda, I'm hanging."

Back at his seat, Chen Xifan handed her the menu: "Take a look, what else to add?" ”

Qi Xia took a look and found that Chen Xifan ordered a lot of things, and they were all things she liked to eat, it seemed that their tastes were very similar?

"That's enough, that's all."

In between the dishes, Qi Xia Tuo glanced at the person opposite and lowered his eyes again.

What to talk about?

But this time, she didn't need to take the initiative to find a topic, Chen Xifan opened his mouth first: "Where did you go to university?" ”

"Kyohei University."

Hearing this, Chen Xifan raised his eyebrows, because of the four words of Jingping University.

He affirmed: "Very good school." ”

The topic was chattered, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and Qi Xia joked: "Compared to it, it is better for you to Cambridge." ”

Chen Xifan was in a hurry to go abroad and did not pay attention to the whereabouts of his classmates in the college entrance examination, so he hooked the corners of his lips, looked into her eyes, and asked: "Are there many people who were admitted to Jingping University in that class?" ”

"It's okay, twenty-six girls, twelve boys, and only me, Xing Anya, and Zhu Qingqing in our class." Qi Xia paused, "By the way, do you remember who Xing Anya and Zhu Qingqing are?" ”

Chen Xifan: "Of course, Xing Anya is your and Xu Youfei's tablemate, and the three of you will be together in high school, Zhu Qingqing ......" He thought for a moment, "It's like a labor commissioner." ”

Qi Xia: "That's right, at that time, Teacher Hu also said that if you are counted, there will be four students in our class who will go to Beijing University." When the words fell, Qi Xia thought of something, and was suddenly stunned, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I just ......."

"It's fine." Chen Xifan's tone was casual, and he didn't seem to care: "It's a pity that I didn't go to Beijing University at that time." ”

This topic was not wonderful, Qi Xia hurriedly shifted, "Are you still in touch with your high school classmates?" ”

Chen Xifan smiled: "He Xiao, Wei Yupeng, they have time to make an appointment to play, what about you?" ”
