When will Mr. Xu be reinstated?

Two people walked side by side on the campus, one handsome and masculine, the other cold and dignified, their superior appearance attracted a lot of heads.

"Chinese food or Western food?"

"It's all right," Jing Yu paused, "Your mother is leaving so soon?"

"Ah."

"Then if she goes back alone—"

"There are nurses."

Jing Yu didn't ask any more questions, and followed Mu Chi's footsteps to the east gate.

The setting sun hit the road through the lush branches and leaves, casting bright spots one after another.

Eight years ago, the two walked this road countless times, and now they are side by side again. The scenery is the same as yesterday, but the people are not yesterday.

"Mu Chi, I saw the pocket watch on your desk..." Jing Yu considered his tone, and asked again, "Is that the one I gave you?"

"What? Do you want to get back what you gave away?"

"No... I'm just asking." Jing Yu didn't expect Mu Chi's answer to be so blunt. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a while, his voice was very low, "I'm just curious that you still keep it after so many years."

"When I'm afraid of being poor, I like gold." Mu Chi said flatly.

"..."

Indeed, pocket watches are pure gold, custom-made and valuable.

Jing Yu didn't know how to answer the words, after all, it was his father who caused Mu Chi to be impoverished overnight.

The two were silent, and no one spoke again along the way.

Mu Chi led Jing Yu out of the east gate, turned into a small alley, and walked into a very quiet restaurant.Except for the private chef's home-cooked food written on the plaque at the door, there is really nothing special about it.

The boss greeted him warmly: "Mr. Cheng hasn't been here for a long time."

"Been busy recently."

The boss looked at Jingyu curiously, "This is Teacher Cheng's friend? Have you been here before, does it look familiar?"

"No, it's the first time."

Mu Chi glanced at Jing Yu, but said nothing.

"Hahaha, maybe I remembered it wrong!" The boss took out the menu while chatting, "Recently, I have researched a few special dishes. If you like it, you can try it. The new dishes will be [-]% off!"

Mu Chi took the menu and handed it to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu took it, the menu was huge, but he accidentally touched it with his fingertips, and the cool touch felt like it was gone.

Jingyu's eyes are dark, and he has had close contact with him before, even after he returned to China, he had an affair with Mu Chi, but now even touching his fingertips seems awkward.

The menu is mainly Hunan cuisine, and there are several Huaiyang dishes.

In recent years, due to stomach problems, he can't eat spicy food and rarely drinks alcohol. Mu Chi's taste is also extremely bland, he can't eat heavy food, and he doesn't like sweets.

Jing Yu ordered the dishes and handed the order to the boss.The boss looked at it and said reproachfully, "Sir, don't you order any of our main desserts?"

Mu Chi looked up at him.

"...Mr. Cheng will order an osmanthus cake every time he comes."

The dishes were served one after another, and Mu Chi's chopsticks never touched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Jingyu's heart fluctuated.Mu Chi never liked sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he used to always tease him, no matter how tricked he was, it was hard for him to take a bite.

"The boss just said you..." Suddenly he couldn't continue.

Mu Chi orders every time she comes here, why?

Mu Chi was silent, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Osmanthus cake is the boss's specialty, and the boss is trying her best to promote it."

Jingyu just put a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth, it was still fragrant and sweet, but it had an unexpectedly familiar taste.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the boss was warmly greeting the guests who had just come to the door, blowing loudly about how authentic and soft the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the store were.

indeed.

"Muchi, the dishes are very familiar." Jingyu felt that he had really been to this restaurant after being familiar with it. "Have we...been here together before?"

Mu Chi lowered her eyes, "The owner used to be the owner of the Nanli Hunan restaurant on the street."

"You..." The osmanthus cake in his mouth suddenly lost its taste.Just now the boss said that Mu Chi often comes to this store.

Mu Chi often comes to this store that they used to frequent.

"There are always seats here." Mu Chi pressed his brows irritably.

Yes, I saw it on the way here, six or seven o'clock is the peak time for students to eat, and only the shops in the alleys occasionally have empty seats.

"How do you get there?" Mu Chi's tone was flat when he came out of the restaurant.

"I'll take a taxi back."

"Mr. Xu, no one came to pick him up?"

"It's not necessary for non-work reasons."

Mu Chi glanced at him, the tall young man in front of him seemed a little lonely. "Let's go, I'll see you off."

After speaking, he yearned to walk forward, without giving him any room to refuse.

Jing Yu had no choice but to follow silently.

The two sat in the car.

"address."

"...No. 78, Wangnan Road."

The car drove very smoothly, and the interior of the car was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be accommodated.

The quiet atmosphere makes it easy for people to confide in their hearts.Jing Yu suddenly opened his mouth and asked the question that had been hidden in his heart all along, "Mu Chi, the hormones in your body..." Is everything normal?How did you get here all these years?Do you have a regular partner or... date someone?

I didn't expect Xu Jingyu to ask this question, how did he know?Mu Chi frowned, and took a while to answer, "Friends often help."

Jing Yu's face instantly turned pale.He recalled that eight years ago, every time after a late stress reaction, the hormones in the body would become unbalanced, and the whole person would be particularly excited, and the demand would be particularly strong.At that time, he would hug him and softly ask him to help him...help him relax.

At that time, he still thought that Mu Chi was deliberately teasing him.

Mu Chi caught a glimpse of his expression and guessed that he was thinking wrong, and was about to explain when he was suddenly interrupted by a shrill bell.

"Jingyu! I got into a fight with someone else! It's not convenient for you to come to Wangnan Road Police Station, so come and vouch for me."

The shrill female voice was especially harsh in the quiet car, and Mu Chi's hand on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

He remembered this voice, the woman who appeared with Jing Yu in the bar that day, she said that she and Jing Yu were in love, Jing Yu did not deny it.

"... For such a thing, you should go to your family." Jing Yu frowned.

Mu Chi glanced at him.

"How dare I! My parents and my elder brother must break my leg if they find out! And your house is nearby, don't just ignore it!"

"...then you wait for 15 minutes." I have to say that they are still comrades in arms. So far, they have resisted many blind dates and rotten love affairs for each other. The cooperation is very pleasant.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Jing Yu hung up the phone, "Sorry, can I go to the police station first?"

Mu Chi didn't speak, and stepped on the accelerator.

The Wangnan Road Police Station is about a few kilometers away from Jingyu's home, so it is considered a convenient way.

He looked at Mu Chi's side face, and suddenly wanted to continue the topic just now, wanted to ask who his friend was, and wanted to explain his relationship with Yao Wanwan, but he didn't know where to start, even... There is no need to talk about it.

The brain is blank, only the dull pain in the heart reminds the existence of consciousness.

Soon after arriving at the police station, Mu Chi parked the car on the side of the road.

"Wait for me, come out soon."

After Jingyu finished speaking, he hurriedly got out of the car.

Mu Chi bit his lower lip tightly, and unconsciously looked in the direction of the police station, and then he saw the woman who appeared in the bar that day happily ran out to hug Jing Yu, stomping his feet excitedly.

A moment of paleness arises spontaneously.

Cheng Muchi, what the hell are you doing!You are crazy to meddle in other people's feelings!

Yao Wanwan saw a car parked at the gate of the police station, and then Jingyu came out. She couldn't help being excited, and ran out with her high heels, hugging Jingyu excitedly.

"Don't move. I got into a fight with some of my rivals, and they don't believe that I'm with you. They'll give me all kinds of crooked melons and dates. It's annoying! Just pretend for a while." Yao Wanwan ordered in a low voice.

Jing Yu frowned, let her hold her stiffly for a few seconds, and then pushed her.

The bruised and swollen people sitting inside stared at them, both shocked and annoyed.

Yao Wanwan ignored these people, and led Jing Yu into the police station proudly.

"Mr. Xu, we..." Unexpectedly, Yao Wanwan really hooked up with Xu Jingyu.If the elders in the family knew that they had offended Mrs. Xu just after they returned to China, they might not be able to afford it.

"Yao Wanwan is a slut, she was still hooking up at the bar just now."

"That's right! Mr. Xu, don't be fooled by her!"

Those people chattered at each other, causing Jingyu a headache.

"Whatever I like is none of your business!" Yao Wanwan pushed back directly.

Jingyu didn't look at them, and directly pulled Yao Wanwan over, "Let's go, I'll sign a guarantee for you."

The formalities were completed quickly, and the few people saw that they could not get any benefits, so they had already slipped away ahead of time.

"Brothers are interesting!" Yao Wanwan patted Jing Yu's arm boldly, "Did you come with your friends just now? I won't bother you, I will take a taxi back by myself."

"Okay, stay safe."

Jingyu and Yao Wanwan walked out of the police station together.

"Hey, where's your friend's car?"

Jing Yu looked around, but Mu Chi had long since disappeared.

Could it be that he felt that he had sent himself?

Well, it is indeed Wangnan Road.

Jing Yu lowered his eyes, trying his best to hide his irrepressible disappointment, "He left beforehand."
