stubborn stone

Chi Yan drove Qi Shoulin around aimlessly.The heater in the car was fully turned on, and his natural body temperature was higher than that of others, and he was already sweating lightly.But he didn't dare to lower the temperature, because Qi Shoulin still covered himself tightly.It was the rush hour for get off work, and the two of them were inevitably stuck on the road.Since getting in the car, Qi Shoulin pressed down no less than ten calls and looked out the window without saying a word.Although it doesn't look like it's angry, the air pressure is really low.The host of the traffic station on the radio reported the road conditions while telling some old-fashioned side-ball jokes.Chi Yan couldn't help but think of Wen Yan who had given them condoms when he first followed Qi Shoulin.Because Wen Yan hung up in a hurry without saying a few words, and didn't say what brand or size to buy.So much so that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and basically took all the items on the shelf, and filled a big bag.When checking out, the cashier and the people behind looked at him frequently. At that time, Chi Yan only felt that he had died socially.Now he only thinks about how to safely transfer this "big Buddha".

"President Qi, that... It's getting late, you haven't had dinner yet. Let's see where you're going. I'll take you there." Chi Yan asked cautiously. "You arrange it." Qi Shoulin still maintained the low pressure, and threw the question back all of a sudden.Chi Yan's facial muscles wrinkled unconsciously. What does this mean?He arranged, where did he arrange to go?He can't afford sea cucumber and abalone. "This... this," Chi Yan smiled awkwardly, "it's not suitable for someone like you...we..." "You arrange it." Qi Shoulin seemed to close his eyes impatiently.Chi Yan immediately shut up, looked around, and made sure where they were driving. He simply turned his heart, turned the steering wheel, and left the congested road.

"President Qi, we're here. Please get out of the car and walk for a while, the car can't go in." Qi Shoulin opened his eyes and looked around. It was a place he didn't know at all—not far away were old residential buildings that were not tall , row upon row, during which various trails traverse east and west.Qi Shoulin got off at the station, and Chi Yan was at a loss: "Um... that, that is, um, there is a small shop here, I used to come here often...their beef soup is delicious! It's... just have to go inside One paragraph. Well...if you think it's not possible, we..." Before he could finish speaking, Qi Shoulin had already moved forward.Chi Yan quickly followed behind to show him the way.In fact, Qi Shoulin didn't walk very fast, but he was tall and had long legs, so Chi Yan had to take half a step to keep up with him.

It's already dinner time, and the not-so-spacious building is filled with the aroma of food, the sound of spatulas colliding with pans, the voices urging the children to stop watching TV and come to eat, and the people who forget to eat and sleep are still playing mahjong The sound of bumping cards... Chi Yan felt that Qi Shoulin should still be a little curious about the lives of ordinary people, so his pace was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.He has probably never seen a communal kitchen in the corridor where several families cook together; he has never seen people on the fourth floor put money in a basket and hang it down with a rope if they don't want to go downstairs, and let the first floor carry a pole The greengrocer in the house puts two handfuls of vegetables and hangs them up... A person like him coming here is like a private visit by the emperor in disguise. "Here, it's here." Chi Yan took the first step forward and lifted the plastic curtain hanging from the door, and the blocked heating and strong fragrance came in like this. "Boss..." "Huh? Young man, is that you?!" The boss who was finishing clearing a table greeted him warmly.Chi Yan took the wet rag from the boss's hand, vigorously rubbed the oil stains on the table, and wiped off the water stains with paper towels. "You sit here." Qi Shoulin sat down and stared at the oily menu that had been plastic-painted. "Long time no see, bring friends?" The boss took a pen and paper and waited to order at the table.At this time, there were quite a few people in the store. As soon as Qi Shoulin came in, his stature stood there, and people would pay more or less attention to him.Qi Shoulin unhurriedly took off the scarf, stood up and unbuttoned his coat, revealing the formal three-piece suit underneath.The boss is also surprised that there are still people wearing this outfit eating at a small restaurant in an old residential area.Chi Yan, who has received service training, subconsciously stepped forward to take Qi Shoulin's coat and scarf and held them in his hands. "Boss, is there a place to hang clothes?" Chi Yan seemed to be holding some treasure. "Yes," the boss said with a smile, "there is still room to hang an apron in the back kitchen."

Of course, Qi Shoulin's clothes cannot be hung together with the apron.Chi Yan carefully folded the corners, and the boss found a stool for him.Seeing Qi Shoulin's hard-to-open mouth, Chi Yan ordered a signature beef soup pot and some side dishes on his own initiative, plus the cheapest green pepper scrambled egg rice bowl.The soup pot is for Qi Shoulin, and the rice bowl is for him.After all, how could he and Qi Shoulin eat in the same pot?The boss somehow saw that the two of them were not like friends, so he didn't say anything more, but asked Chi Yan why he didn't work in the supermarket in the residential area anymore.Chi Yan didn't want to talk more about himself in front of Qi Shoulin, but the boss took care of him a lot in the past, so he had to answer that he was too busy with his studies, so he didn't come here.In fact, he did not want to work near the school and be seen by his classmates, so he went to work as a cashier in a supermarket in a residential area so far away. Later, he stopped coming when he had a meal in "Tungsten Gold".The beef soup pot came up quickly, put it on the induction cooker, and the clear soup was boiling, bringing a tantalizing meaty aroma.Chi Yan rinsed the bowls, chopsticks, and spoons with hot water for Qi Shoulin, and first served him a bowl of soup, "At first, I didn't put anything in it, just drink the original taste of the soup." He introduced it attentively, as if this was his own restaurant. "Big brother!" Suddenly someone hugged his waist from behind, and he was so frightened that he quickly put the spoon in his hand to avoid splashing Qi Shoulin. "Yunyun!" Chi Yan turned his head and saw a waist-high little girl with two braids braided into sections, showing him a toothless smile. "Boss! Beef soup pot!" The woman who lifted the curtain came in with her family. "Mom, mom! Look! Who is it!" Yun Yun yelled happily. "Sister Chen." Chi Yan walked out of his seat and greeted the woman. "Oh! You, why haven't I seen you for a long time?" Sister Chen pushed the son next to her, "Hurry up and say hello!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy next to him muffled, "Hello, brother."

The woman called "Sister Chen" is obviously a celebrity in this area. As soon as she came in, she basically greeted everyone at every table familiarly, and sat down with her son, daughter and parents, and then cared about Chi Yan again. Come. "Sit down and eat together!" "No, no..." Chi Yan sat back on his seat. Although he couldn't eat in the same pot with Qi Shoulin, he definitely couldn't neglect him. "So I brought friends, it's okay, let's sit down together! Today is Yunyun's birthday, let's eat together, it's lively!" Sister Chen still greeted.Chi Yan showed an embarrassed smile with his back to Qi Shoulin. "Oh, what's the matter, boyfriend? Little lover, you and I are in the world of two people." Sister Chen teased.As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy hammer, and Chi Yan was not hammered to the ground on the spot. "It's... no, I, my friend, my friend likes to be quiet." He glanced at Qi Shoulin from the corner of his eye, for fear that the patron would be offended.Qi Shoulin seemed not to hear, and concentrated on the food in front of him.Chi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The dishes on Sister Chen's table hadn't been served yet, Yunyun was still on his side. "How old is Yunyun this year?" Chi Yan asked, "Six years old!" The little girl stretched out her hand to make a six, and said in a childlike voice, "I'm going to primary school this year! I can finish my homework by myself, so I don't look like you." My brother is so stupid, he was scolded by his mother for not being able to do his homework, so he ran away from home!" Everyone in the restaurant heard the little girl's words and burst into laughter.His elder brother gave his younger sister a hard look, his face was blushing from the heating or from anger.Chi Yan also laughed. At that time, it was indeed my brother who ran away from home, but he only walked to the supermarket in the residential area and was so wronged that he cried loudly at the door.Chi Yan asked what was wrong with the little boy, left him in the supermarket to wait for his parents, and then told him the sixth grade math homework that was sweating in his hands.When Sister Chen's family found that the child was missing, they searched everywhere like crazy, and finally found the child in the supermarket. The family hugged and cried. "Yunyun... I'm sorry, my brother didn't have a suitable birthday gift for you for a while. How about this, can my brother comb your hair?" Chi Yan stroked Yunyun's somewhat messy braid. "Okay, okay! Mom combing my hair always hurts me so much!" Yun Yun said in a low voice, her eyes full of expectation.Chi Yan asked the boss for a comb, untied Yunyun's horn braid, combed it gently, and divided the soft hair into several locks, braiding them neatly at his fingertips.Although Qi Shoulin was still eating slowly, his eyes were attracted by the way Chi Yan made up his hair.Although people don't look very bright, they are very good at mending clothes and combing children's hair. "Okay!" Chi Yan asked the boss for a mirror again, and the little girl looked around in the mirror.The soft black hair is wrapped around the head like a crown, and tied at the back. "Yunyun is the little princess today, I wish the little princess a happy birthday, I hope you like this hairstyle." Chi Yan said with a smile. "Ahhh!" Yunyun danced excitedly, ran to her mother to ask her to see, whispered a few words to her mother and then ran back, looked up at Chi Yan and waved to him, motioned him to lower his body, and then gently kissed Chi Yan Yan kissed on the cheek. "Big brother, I asked my mother, and my mother said that Yunyun can kiss you." Chi Yan was a little surprised, and there was a warmth flowing in his heart.In fact, he hasn't braided someone's hair for a long time. My sister has always disliked his braided hair since she was in the fifth grade, and she is always very old-fashioned.That's why he secretly read the free magazines in the barber shop every time he went for a haircut and learned the crown braiding. He looks like a girl from Eastern Europe, so she must be very western.But his sister never let him braid his hair again.
