It was already noon when Zhou Xun woke up the next day, and the sun shone into the half of the bedroom through the half-opened curtains, and the quilt was covered with a warm halo.

The past ten years with Lin Zhile, just like the warm light now, were so beautiful that Zhou Xun even forgot that all the good things are short-lived and fleeting, and things backfired, and what he wanted was not what he wanted. It is the norm of life.

It is very lucky to have a beautiful person all the time, but Zhou Xun is not the lucky one.

Sober up, I have vented what should be vented, and my life has to go on as usual.

Zhou Xun got out of bed and was dazed looking at the small piece of still wet water beside the bed. He remembered that he broke the cup last night and then got up to dispose of the fragments?

Zhou Xun really couldn't remember, and he still smelled of alcohol after a hangover. He went directly into the bathroom, and came out as energetic as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The three of Ye Yunqing came after lunch. Zhou Xun was eating on the coffee table in the living room when he came. He reheated the leftover dumplings from last night and watched the rerun of the Spring Festival Gala while eating.

Ye Yunqing poked Han Haoming's arm with his fingers, and the latter understood, and said, "Brother Xun, I am a friend who came to Beijing to settle down at the end of last year. He is usually busy with work and has no time to get together. Now that he is on vacation, I want to make an appointment." Let’s go out to have dinner together at this time, and then you will go with us, anyway, you have nothing to do.”

Zhou Xun picked up a dumpling, dipped it in some vinegar, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't mess with me, you don't have to talk to me if you have something to say, you just want to introduce someone to me Well, let's go."

Han Haoming didn't expect Zhou Xun to be so happy this time. In fact, there are quite a lot of people chasing Zhou Xun. After all, Zhou Xun's appearance is here, and his personality is also straightforward. After getting along for a long time, it's hard not to like him.

These friends, Zhou Xun had made a lot of troubles before, but whether they pursued him actively or introduced him, they were all rejected by Zhou Xun, and they were usually unwilling to meet in person.

This time they agreed so readily, but they were a little confused.

Ye Yunfan, who didn't know it, was the first to get excited, "Brother Xun, you are going to find me a sister-in-law."

Zhou Xun smiled, "I'll find you a sister-in-law."

"Brother Xun, since you have agreed, Yun Qing and I won't go with you when the time comes, it's more comfortable for you to talk on your own," Han Haoming said, "I'll tell you when I fix the time."

"Row."

"My friend, he looks good and has a good personality. He is 35 this year. He is a surgeon from the third hospital and is now the department director."

"It's better to be older, and I won't dislike my old age." Zhou Xun said.

"Brother Xun, you are not old at all. You look young. To others, time is like a butcher's knife, but to you it is a beauty knife," Han Haoming said exaggeratedly, using both hands and feet, "Take your clothes In other words, follow me to the school for a walk, and I'm sure people will call you junior."

In fact, Zhou Xun really does not show his age at all, and the people around him, including himself, think so.

Zhou Xun himself has never taken age seriously. People are always getting older every year, and it is impossible to grow backwards, and it is impossible to grow younger with age.

But you can't let the person in your heart say everything, because only what that person says is the most poignant.

"Come on, old is old." Zhou Xun said a little dejectedly.

Han Haoming was a little uncertain this time, "Brother Xun, you can't accept someone older than you, right? My friend is really nice."

"No, I don't have any age requirements. It's good to be older than me. When I see you later, if you think it's appropriate, you can watch it everywhere." Zhou Xun focused on watching TV and said it casually.

Ye Yunqing was about to cry, he was always sentimental, "Master, it's great that you think so, I'm always worried about you alone."

In the past few years, he has seen Zhou Xun alone, and there is no one to take care of him, and it is impossible for him to be with Zhou Xun every day. After all, there is still someone around to make people feel at ease.

Han Haoming looked at Sylvia's expression, and quickly stopped, "Daughter-in-law, let's go, I'll take you out to play. Brother Xun, come with us, let's go skiing. Yunfan has been optimistic about the venue a few years ago, and this is the only place for New Year's Eve It's still open."

Zhou Xun was lazy and didn't want to move, "You go, I'm resting at home, I drank last night, I don't want to go out."

They didn't drag Zhou Xun hard, let him rest at home.

After the three of them left, Zhou Xun took his mobile phone. Since last night, his mobile phone has not stopped. Those who pay New Year's greetings and those who send red envelopes in the group have been vibrating non-stop.

He was not in the mood last night, and now he picked up a few important ones and returned them. He sent a few big red envelopes in the company group, and sent them to the three who had just left alone, and then threw the phone directly on the sofa.

In the end, the blind date was set on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and Zhou Xun also took advantage of the few days in between to walk around with his friends.

Zhou Xun got up early in the morning on the fifth day of the lunar new year. He spent a long time in the bedroom, looking for clothes that looked young and put them on. He specially picked out a white turtleneck sweater. The marks left behind have not completely disappeared after these days, and the body is still bruised and purple.

Looking back on that afternoon, Zhou Xun only felt that Lin Zhile had a conscience because he could still breathe.

From the bottom of his heart, he scolded Lin Zhile as a little beast.

After putting on the sweater, he found a pair of slim black trousers that matched the white sweater. His legs looked straight and long, and his hips were round and upright.

After getting dressed, he tidied up for a long time, shaved off his beard, and sprayed some cologne on his body.

Zhou Xun looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly remembered the confused and absurd afternoon between the old house and Lin Zhi, Zhou Xun wanted to slap himself very much.

The address of the restaurant Han Haoming gave was not far from where they lived. Zhou Xun didn't want to drive, he wanted to take two steps, and he also wanted the wind to blow away the confusion in his mind and sober up.

After arriving at the restaurant, he regretted it a bit. He didn't wear the bloated down jacket in order to look younger. He wore an open gray-blue long coat and a navy blue cashmere scarf around his neck.

Zhou Xun usually doesn't dress up like this, and now he looks very coquettish, but he can't help being cold. Although the journey only took more than ten minutes, when he arrived at the restaurant, his face and ears were red from the cold. My hands are stiff.

The man who entered the door with him opened the door for him, and Zhou Xun thanked him in a low voice.

The man was about the same height as Zhou Xun, with a gentle voice, "You're welcome."

Knowing Zhou Xun's temperament, Han Haoming chose Zhou Xun's favorite dish of boiled mutton in a copper pot. The hall was almost full and the decoration was high-end. Even in the hall, there were carved mahogany screens between each seat. interval.

According to the information, he confirmed the reserved table number with the waiter and walked over.

Before the other party came, Zhou Xun took off his coat and scarf, put them on the back of the chair, and then sat on the side leaning against the wooden screen. As soon as he sat down, the man who just opened the door for him stood beside him Two steps away from each other, the standard social distance, neither far nor near.

"Mr. Zhou? Hello, I'm Han Haoming's friend, my name is Chen Rui." Chen Rui stretched out a hand after speaking.

Zhou Xun felt it was too coincidental, stood up with a smile on his face, reached out and shook hands with Chen Rui, "Hello, I'm Zhou Xun, what a coincidence."

Compared with Zhou Xun, Chen Rui's dress is more formal, with a shirt and trousers, parted hair, and a well-rounded appearance. The overall feeling is the same as his voice, steady and gentle.

He sat down opposite Zhou Xun, "I saw you sitting at this table from a long distance just now, I thought Hao Ming lied to me, you don't look like 32, and I believe 22."

"Mr. Chen was joking."

"I'm telling the truth." Chen Rui took the menu on the table and handed it to Zhou Xun, "I heard from Hao Ming that you like to eat hot-boiled mutton. I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend, and I heard it tastes good. "

Zhou Xun ordered a few hot-boiled meat dishes. He likes to eat mutton because Lin Zhile loves to eat it. When they first came to Beijing, they didn’t have much money. Zhou Xun’s salary was barely enough for the rent and their daily expenses. Le Holiday also has no free time, and is doing a few tutoring jobs, just wanting to make Zhou Xun feel more relaxed.

The two of them don't have much free time together, and sometimes they go out to have a good meal, which is to eat mutton in a copper pot.

Why always think of Lin Zhile, Zhou Xun shook his head.

"What's wrong? Is it because the dishes are not to your liking."

Zhou Xun regained his composure, "No, I just thought of something else."

Chen Rui didn't ask Zhou Xun. After the meal, Zhou Xun was absent-minded and didn't know how to eat. Chen Rui kept a gentleman's demeanor, humble and polite, and tried his best to stir up the topic.

After the meal, the two exchanged WeChat messages. Zhou Xun wanted to go back by himself, but Chen Rui offered to send him off.

"It's too cold outside, you don't have much clothes on, I'll send you off." Chen Rui said.

Zhou Xun didn't refuse much, and got into Chen Rui's car.

The old community did not strictly control foreign vehicles, so Chen Rui drove directly downstairs to Zhou Xun.

Before getting off the car, Zhou Xun thanked Chen Rui: "Thank you Mr. Chen for sending me back."

"Zhou Xun, call me Brother Rui. To be honest, I like you a lot. I hope we can develop further."

Chen Rui spoke bluntly, but Zhou Xun couldn't answer, he couldn't open his mouth, couldn't say what he promised.

"You don't have to rush to answer me, look forward to meeting next time."

Zhou Xun smiled, "Next time I have a chance to invite Brother Rui to dinner."

Zhou Xun got out of the car, Chen Rui waved to him, started the car, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just about to turn around and go upstairs, I heard Chen Rui calling him again.

"Zhou Xun, wait a minute, your scarf has fallen, it's cold, be careful of catching cold." Chen Rui got down from the driver's seat, holding Zhou Xun's scarf in his hand. The scarf was wrapped around Zhou Xun's neck. I wanted to wrap it around him again, but Zhou Xun raised his hand to block it.

"Brother Rui is fine, it's not cold, it's already at the door of the house, you can wear it or not."

"Okay, then...see you later."

"See you."

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he hurried upstairs, and when he walked to the door of the house and was about to take out the key to open the door, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the opposite door 402, and the cup shattered, and the sharp and harsh sound of the debris rubbing against the ground.

Zhou Xun's hand that opened the door paused, and he glanced at the opposite door. The door was closed tightly, and nothing could be seen.

He found it strange that Zhou Xun had lived in this house for ten years, and everyone in the whole building and even the community knew each other well, and they would greet each other when they met, but the people from the house opposite him, Zhou Xun I have never seen it.

Before 402, an old lady lived alone, but later the old lady moved out to live with her daughter, and a new resident moved in five years ago. If Zhou Xun could hear noises from time to time, he thought there was no one living in the house at all.

Hearing no more sound, Zhou Xun opened the door and entered the house, and put the key on the cabinet in the entrance hall.

The place where he lives has been renovated, but the door lock has never been changed.Now it doesn't matter if you change it or not.

Zhou Xun didn't bother to change his clothes after a hasty blind date dinner, so he went back to the bedroom and lay down.

In a daze, Zhou Xun heard a knock on the door, thump, thump, neither heavy nor light.
