At around seven o'clock in the evening, Bi Xiaocong drove to Di'anmen, parked the car and walked to Yinding Bridge, where the two made an appointment to meet.

When he saw Ai Ju, he was taken aback. She tied up her hair and shaved her beard. She was wearing a white sweater and dark blue jeans. She was still wearing flip flops, which looked much cleaner. , also several years younger, about 27 or [-] years old by visual inspection, in fact, he was originally a very handsome, well-defined man.

"Here I come... I invite you to dinner. There is a small restaurant nearby that tastes good. Let's go." Seeing the handsome Duojin guy who had a good night with her once, Ai Ju beamed with joy, as happy as Hachiko, the loyal dog wagging his tail, was immediately accompanied by thousands of smiling faces.

Ai Ju wanted to refuse at first, but when she saw the sincerity of this person, she temporarily closed her mouth. Anyway, he is hungry, so he can eat whatever he wants.

The two turned into a narrow alley, and after walking for 10 minutes, they came to a small restaurant with a signboard for home-cooked food. The store was small, with only six square tables, and five of them were full of people. They just grabbed the last vacant seat, and most of the people who came to eat were nearby residents. It might be difficult for tourists to visit such a hidden place.

Although the restaurant is small, it looks very clean. There is no oil stain on the table, and there is no garbage, dropped food, or oil stain on the white floor tiles.Duo Jinnan sat safely on the wooden bench, looking up at the menu posted on the wall.

The proprietress is in her forties, very handsome, and speaks with a pure Beijing accent: "Xiaoju, you haven't been here for a long time, what are you bringing your friends to eat today?"

"Sister Xu, here's a plate of braised pork, let my friends order the rest." The cartoonist gave the initiative to Bi Xiaocong, and when his eyes moved to the other's face, he was immediately attracted. He was deeply fascinated by the expression of people looking up at the menu intently, and wanted to find a pen to draw it down.

The person who ordered the food was in trouble, the menu was not rich, and there were only a few dishes, so he had to make do with it, so he turned his head to face the sloppy man and said, "Spicy liver, fish-flavored shredded pork, and two bottles of beer." This guy It's not easy to make money, and he can't waste it too much. Three dishes for two people are enough.

"Sister, let the liver be sharp, fish-flavored shredded pork, and two beers." He happily shouted to the proprietress at the counter.

"Wait a minute, I'll be here in a while." She opened the kitchen door and said to her husband and the worker inside, then brought two bottles of beer and a free cold Chinese cabbage, and placed them in front of them.

Bi Xiaocong picked up the chopsticks and picked up two bites of cabbage. He felt that the taste was sweet and sour with a touch of spiciness, which was very delicious, so he praised: "Not bad!"

"Ms. Xu's shop has been open for ten years. Everyone in the neighborhood knows it. Especially the braised pork is so delicious that star hotels can't compare." Ai Ju poured beer for him, and took it from his pocket He took out a small transparent plastic bag and put it on the table, which contained someone's platinum bracelet.

"Thank you." Duo Jinnan put away his things and continued to pick up food without raising his head. He caught a glimpse of the other party's "stupid" gaze from the corner of his eyes, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Can you leave me a phone number?" He was speaking almost in a pleading tone, what if someone blocked his Weibo friends, wouldn't he never have a chance to "kiss Fangze"?

Bi Xiaocong bowed his head and said nothing, why is this guy so annoying?Although his body has mutated due to the growth of a "womb", it cannot explain that his sexual orientation has changed. It was just that one time between them, and there will be no second time.

"Give up, I'm not interested!" He replied in a low voice, he must categorically reply and never give this person any more room for fantasy.

Ai Ju smiled bitterly: "I didn't mean that... can't we just be ordinary friends, don't local tyrants only be friends with local tyrants?" He was looked down upon by this person, feeling as if he was cheap It’s like a box lunch, I’m really hungry so I bring it here to satisfy my hunger, and when I’m full, I leave and go to a high-end hotel to solve the XX problem.

He put down his chopsticks and furrowed his eyebrows and replied, "Of course not...I'm afraid." He couldn't speak directly, there were too many people waiting around.

"Don't worry, I'm not a messy person." He was used to it. When he broke up with his ex-wife, he was very calm. He didn't even complain to any friends. He felt that this was fate, and they were destined not to live their entire lives.So he decided to "pass along and have fun in time" with his relationship in the future. After two years of being an ascetic monk, his whole body was going to be exhausted. He needed a love to nourish him. Now that the opportunity came, he met a special object again, but people said Only once, there can be no second time, can this not make him sad?

Bi Xiaocong glanced at him, then read his phone number in a low voice.

The cartoonist immediately took out his mobile phone and wrote it down, and called back in time.

Duo Jinnan's cell phone rang, he took out the number and edited the sloppy man's name helplessly, probably because the name was too strange, he remembered it right away, the word "Aiju" should be pronounced as jie (jie) instead of tangerine The orange, I'm afraid many people called this guy "Juzi" when he was in school, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this!

"What are you laughing at, my hair is messed up?" He was inexplicable, since he has good facial features, he shouldn't have the ability to be funny, right?

"No... no street stall today?" Bi Xiaocong asked while eating.

"Recently, the old urban management made a surprise inspection. I simply didn't leave the stall. I was drawing comics at home. I have prepared a month's worth of manuscripts, and the editors don't have to chase me around anymore, haha!" He submitted it late during the Chinese New Year, which made the editor nervous, calling every day to remind him. If it got worse, it would be a big trouble. Perhaps his manuscript would be cut off because of this, cutting off his main source of income.

He smiled and said: "It seems that life in SOHO is not easy for you, just honestly find a design job... I have an order here, do you want to take it?" Come to decorate the western restaurant that is about to open in Zhongguancun.

Ai Ju immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of work, let me see if I can do it?" This is a good opportunity, not only can I make money, but I can also take this opportunity to get close to Bi Xiaocong.

Mr. Bi immediately put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "I opened a western restaurant in Zhongguancun, mainly for white-collar workers and young consumers. The decoration style of the restaurant is very fashionable. I hope you can make graffiti murals on the four walls according to the situation on site. is that OK?"

"No problem, I can make a sample picture first, and then draw it up after confirming that it is correct. How long will it take you to finish the project?" This is the biggest problem. If he can't do it alone, he has to ask two friends for help.

"Now the interior decoration has started, I hope to finish it in one month, plus your design time, you can give me a sample drawing within three days, and I will send you the restaurant's decoration renderings and on-site drawings in the evening, and let the decoration company Give me the size of the wall." This matter was not in his control, it was his random whim, and more importantly, he wanted to give young cartoonists a chance to make money.

Ai Ju nodded again and again: "I will try my best."

"Make sure you satisfy me! I'll offer you [-] yuan. If you have any objections, just say so, don't be ridiculous." He felt that this price was within his acceptable range. Even if he had money, there was no reason to spend it randomly. It's not that he's stingy, it's the business philosophy.

"The price is fine, and I will work harder on the time." The price is neither high nor low, and I can accept it. However, if you hire a helper, you will earn less money. It is better to work overtime by yourself.

Bi Xiaocong smiled with satisfaction: "Is it very enjoyable, I will recommend you to my friends in the future." At this moment, he only thought of business, and did not pay attention to the real intention of the cartoonist.
