Jiang Nanhui has developed a habit of looking at the Ultraman poster on the window of Cen Hanluo's house every morning before going out. He is always in a happy mood when he goes out.

Jiang Nanhui thought that he should take the initiative to ask for Cen Hanluo's contact information, no matter what the reason was, whether it was to invite a meal back, or to promise to agree to a request from the other party after losing the last bet, in short, they There are still unfinished things in between, and this relationship needs to survive.

After revising the press release, printing it out and handing it over to Team Leader Liu, he sat at his desk for a full four hours. Jiang Nanhui got up and stretched his pantothenic shoulders and neck. Unexpectedly, he bent down unexpectedly.

The colleague Cheng Xiaofeng on the side was concentrating on sifting through the news photos, and was taken aback by Jiang Nanhui's move from the corner of his eye: "Xiao Jiang, what are you doing?"

With the palms of both hands trying to reach the soles of the feet, Jiang Nanhui said, "Do some stretching exercises."

"Good guy." Cheng Xiaofeng held the mouse and turned his head back, continuing to stare at the computer screen, "I thought you were going to wish me an early New Year."

Bringing the USB flash drive home and planning to work overtime at night, Jiang Nanhui finished cleaning the office and took the elevator down to the first floor with his camera bag on his back.

When passing through the hall, Jiang Nanhui began to think seriously, whether it is better to carry fruit or milk when visiting Cen Hanluo at night.He decided to ask for Cen Hanluo's WeChat account, and he would leave as soon as he arrived, without staying too long, he didn't want the other party to feel that his actions were reckless and abrupt.

There seemed to be a fruit shop on the way home. It was the right time to buy watermelons this season. Jiang Nanhui made up his mind and gave them fruits.

The automatic door opened, raising his hand to block the sun, Jiang Nanhui stepped into the warm sunset, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the compound not far away.

There was a man standing in front of the courtyard, looking down and playing with his mobile phone.Pure white short-sleeves, cropped trousers are haze blue, and a pair of flat canvas shoes. With a superior figure and appearance, Jiang Nanhui almost didn't have to go close to confirm that it was Cen Hanluo.

The man's body was covered with a faint warm red by the afterglow of the setting sun.

For the next section of the road, Jiang Nanhui trotted over with his camera bag in hand, and then quickly slowed down as he approached, thinking about how to say hello.It just so happened that Cen Hanluo put away his phone, looked around and saw Jiang Nanhui, he smiled and waved: "Hi."

"Hi." Jiang Nanhui also waved at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Cen Hanluo spread his hands, shrugged and replied, "I'm not very lucky."

Jiang Nanhui: "Huh?"

"We live so close, we have never met before, it's not bad luck or something." Cen Hanluo said with his bag on one shoulder, "Since luck doesn't help me, then I'll take the initiative to come to you, After all, it’s up to people to do it.”

Jiang Nanhui responded slowly: "Oh."

"Let's go." Cen Hanluo tilted his head towards home, "Let's go home together."

There is a lot of traffic on the overpass, and from a distance, the neon lights form a long strip.After passing the noisy intersection, two people walked side by side under the ginkgo tree, stepping on the light and shadow cast by the setting sun on the ground together.

It was Jiang Nanhui who started the conversation first: "Last time you said that you just joined the company and were very busy and tired every day. What about now? Are you used to it?"

"It's okay." Cen Hanluo replied, "It's just that the work at hand is relatively trivial and requires more patience."

Jiang Nanhui asked: "What do you do?"

"Accountant." Cen Hanluo said, "But because he is a newcomer, he is always called around by colleagues and leaders, and has done a lot of scattered administrative work."

Jiang Nanhui said: "It was like this from the beginning."

"What about you?" Cen Hanluo asked, "Have you become a regular?"

"Well, I've become a full-time member. I got my internship salary two days ago and changed myself to a new mobile phone." Jiang Nanhui said by the way, "I also changed a new mobile phone number. Do you have WeChat? If you don't mind, add one time?"

"Of course I don't mind." Cen Hanluo happily took out his mobile phone, "It's too late for me to be happy."

After successfully adding Cen Hanluo's WeChat account, Jiang Nanhui took this opportunity to invite, "I still owe you a meal, are you free tonight?"

"Our company's canteen is very good, with a buffet, Chinese and Western food." Cen Hanluo said, "I am very full at noon every day, and I haven't had dinner for a long time."

Cen Hanluo didn't give Jiang Nanhui a chance to treat him, the longer the meal was delayed, the more he wanted it.Seeing a fruit shop by the side of the road, Cen Hanluo asked, "Are you thirsty?"

It was hot in midsummer, and Jiang Nanhui sweated a lot. He answered honestly, "A little bit."

"That's just right." Cen Hanluo smiled, "Eat a piece of watermelon with me."

The owner of the fruit shop was shaking his cattail fan, sitting on a small bench and yelling vigorously. Cen Hanluo walked over, squatted down, tapped the watermelon, and asked, "Hi, can you cut it for me? I want to eat it right now. "

When business came, the boss said happily, "It must be fine."

Turning around, he took a fruit-cutting knife from the chopping board. The boss picked up Cen Han's unselected watermelon and was about to cut it into pieces. Before the blade touched the skin, Cen Han stopped him: "Boss, wash the knife."

"I washed it before." The boss said lazily, "Don't worry, young man, my knife is absolutely clean."

"Let's wash it again." Cen Hanluo demanded, "I don't care about it myself, why don't I bring my friends with me, please take care of me."

The boss smiled and said, "Okay."

In life, Jiang Nanhui always silently contributes to others and rarely takes care of others.When Cen Hanluo handed him the cut watermelon, Jiang Nanhui was unfamiliar with the warmth flowing in his heart.

For Jiang Nanhui, the feeling of being valued can make him remember Cen Hanluo's goodness more clearly.

But he will not take the other party's kindness for granted, and with his character, he will return it twice as much.

"What are you in a daze for? Take it." Cen Hanluo rolled his eyes, "This one has few seeds, so I'll eat it for you."

Jiang Nanhui took it with both hands: "Thank you."

"Boss, wrap the rest in plastic wrap for me, I want to take it away." Cen Hanluo said while clicking on the WeChat payment code, Jiang Nanhui immediately said, "I'll pay."

"It's not for you to take it back." Cen Hanluo stood in front of Jiang Nanhui, raised his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, "Don't worry, you will be called to pay the bill."

On the left side of the fruit shop is the wall of the old community. The two stood by the wall, eating watermelon at the same time, quenching their thirst and fever.Cen Hanluo ate comfortably, and turned his head to look at Jiang Nanhui. The man's cheeks were bulging, the corners of his mouth were stained with red flesh, he was tall, handsome with a hint of cuteness.

Throwing the cleaned watermelon rind into the trash can, Jiang Nanhui took out a tissue and handed it to Cen Hanluo: "Wipe your mouth and hands."

Cen Hanluo said: "You are still so good at taking care of people."

Jiang Nanhui said modestly: "I am not as good as you, you are much more careful than me."

"Absolutely not. I was sloppy when I was a child. My parents spoiled me so much that I didn't have any vision to get along with anyone. I always didn't know how to take care of others." Cen Hanluo looked at Jiang Nanhui and said, "I know when I started Did it change?"

Jiang Nanhui shook his head, waiting for Cen Hanluo to reveal the secret for him.

"16 is old."

"When I was 16 years old, I met a boy when I was in an English cram school, and I was taken care of by him." Cen Hanluo raised his eyes and looked at the ginkgo leaves above his head, and said warmly, "Although it is a very small thing, the harvest The warmth I received made me remember for a long time, so that I also hope that I can become as gentle as him, to care and take care of everyone who really treats me well."
