When the unexpected episode was finally taken care of, the group was tired and hungry, so Yu He asked them if they wanted to go for a snack. The first person to raise his hand and cheer in favor of this proposal was Jing Bai, who had nothing to do with them.

"Okay, okay, let's go eat congee, okay? There's a hotel on the Bund that makes the best shark fin and sea urchin congee.

Yu He turned his head to look at Xue Xie.

Xue Xie wiped her tears and looked at Jing Bai a little unhappily: "I want to eat barbecue and eat garbage street."

"Then eat the garbage street."

Jing Bai : "Ah ...... this is too ...... good ......"

Xue Xie was there, Yu He more or less considered Qingcheng Xie's face, also asked him a question: "How about you?"

"I'll pass. I'll take the dog to get his shots and an adoption check. If you want to keep it, I'll send it to you later."

He said and looked at Little Yellow who was sitting obediently at his feet.

The little yellow one loves Qingcheng Xie, circling around him happily, wagging his fluffy yellow tail: "Woof!"

.

Half an hour later.

Huzhou night market stall.

"Boss, fifty skewers of palm, fifty skewers of mutton, ten skewers of grilled rice cakes, ten skewers of grilled mushrooms, a dozen grilled oysters, and five bottles of beer." As soon as Xue Xie arrived at the entrance of the barbecue store, she greeted him in a familiar way.

"Wouldn't a place like this be dirty ...... I never eat it." Jing Bai stretched out two fingers and hated to use the tips of her nails to flip through the greasy menu.

Xue Xie rolled her eyes in disgust: "Didn't you insist on getting in the car and coming along?"

"Oh, why are you so mean, little sister? I'm hungry too." Jing Bai said, while she set her noble buttocks on the seat nearest to Yu He, "Just please order something lighter, it's too late, I'm afraid I'll gain weight."

Xue Xie glared at her, slapped the table with a fierce and fierce voice: "Boss, cut ten more rabbit heads with fucking oil!"

Jing Bai : "You-!"

Yu He blandly: "Then you can have twenty of them, I want to eat them too."

Jing Bai : "......"

Grilled skewers this job is said to be simple and easy, said difficult is also very difficult, the same is grilled palm of the treasure, replaced by the guys grilled is missing the soul. The boss's arm is turned, the bamboo skewer is shaken, and the cartilage baked to a golden brown and oily drops off the excess fat, and the ghee falls in the charcoal in a wonderful chemical reaction, and the scorching fragrance of grease and scattered star fires scamper up together. Hidden in the smoke, the boss is like a hidden master, nose slightly moving, just a sniff to catch the subtle delicious factor from the smoke, know that this time to leave the fire.

So plate on the table, presented while hot, a handful of skewers of fire each mastered just right, these comforting skewers seem to have become the son of the East in the food world, tender 10% is too raw, old 10% is too Chai, charred crispy appropriate, bite fat can be in the mouth like snowflakes squeaky melt.

Xue Xie, a familiar customer at the restaurant, ordered a table of skewers that almost crushed the small table covered with a light plastic tablecloth. While she was wreaking havoc on the table, Jing Bai was still holding it up, doing her best to perform the face turn, the quintessential trick in Sichuan opera.

" Master Shao He is not from Ala Huzhou?" Jing Bai blinked his semi-permanent curly eyelashes, smeared with pearlescent lip gloss mouth grin big, "listen to the accent is not."

Yu He smiled and asked, "Miss Bai, are you checking your account?"

"Oh, no, no, no, no." Jing Bai waved his hand and stroked his hair awkwardly, "That, I have studied in Yan City before, Yan City Economic University business management department. I heard that your Mandarin was quite standard, so I was wondering if you were from the north."

"Then you are a high achiever." Yu He smiled sagely and rummaged through the baking dish to pick up the head of a staring, dead rabbit.

Jing Bai did not hear, continue to ramble: "Yes, so I work in the counter is mainly to gain experience, later to be promoted to the management of the la. In the front line can grow knowledge, I have served many stars and bosses, the other day also met an actor, is the recent prime time TV-"

Yu He clicked, and the Sen Sen white teeth bit the rabbit's brain shell to pieces.

Jing Bai choked, as if the unfinished words were bitten by Yu He through the air between her throat, she instantly felt a slight pain in her neck.

Yu He smiled, Jing Bai only now found that he had tiger teeth, but not too obvious, to slant mouth smile, only from his thin lips vaguely exposed a little bit below. Yu He slowly and methodically ate the rabbit brains: "Miss Bai said while eating, since you are here with us, do not be hungry, do not you like rabbit head?"

Jing Bai waved his hands in panic: "I, I usually have a small amount of food, only a few sips of Coke will be full, no no ......"

"Is that so?" Yu He tossed the broken rabbit bone onto his plate and smiled, "That's a shame."

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do. The woman is dating her older brother, so why add Yu He WeChat? It's too disrespectful, right?

So angrily, he said:

"Sorry, he can't give you his WeChat."

"Why, are you his girlfriend?"

"I - I am not!" Xue Xie said angrily and started making things up, "But Yu He has a girlfriend, a beautiful woman, very ruthless, very jealous, several years older than him, very strict with him, will slap him if he doesn't listen, and I have to watch him when he goes out. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing.

Who expected Yu He lightly said, "That's a military intelligence agent you're talking about."

Shit!

Xue Xie was so angry that she stomped on him under the table.

Yu He : "I do not have this kind of girlfriend, I also do not like very jealous sexy extra ruthless big beautiful woman."

What the fuck!

Xue Xie stepped more heavily, and found that her feet hurt a little, and looked down, absolutely, she stepped on the bottom shelf of the table.

Yu He smiled, and without moving his long legs, which were leaning next to the bottom shelf of the table, withdrew, handed the skewers sprinkled with pepper powder to Xue Xie's plate, and then turned his face to the expectant Jing Bai and said, "But then, Miss, I do have someone I like. So please forgive me if I don't randomly add girls' WeChat."

Jing Bai suddenly could not hide his loss: "Let's be ordinary friends can not?"

Yu He did not even smile perfunctorily this time, his easygoing youthfulness seemed to disappear from him in an instant, and he gave the other party a silent look.

"Thanks. But I don't think we're from the same world."

After saying this, it is the same as invisibly demolishing the other party's steps, and the atmosphere is momentarily stiff and powerful.

Yu He took a paper towel and wiped the oil stains left by the stick one finger at a time, then threw the paper towel away, coldly glanced at the lady with a wonderful face and calmly said, "I'm going to wash my hands."

Not everyone in this world is socially white eyed and can't understand human speech, Jing Bai accurately picked up the golden master handsome man's cold hard attitude towards her disdain, and the woman at the table surnamed Xie had obviously experienced what happened before, and didn't want to bother with her more. She felt embarrassed and finally found a pretext to say that she had a temporary problem and left the table in silence.

After a while, Yu He came back, saw that she had left, raised his eyebrows, did not even ask one more question, a face of nothing happened next to Xue Xie sat down.

Xue Xie rolled her eyes a few times and scolded Jing Bai a few more times before squeaking and biting into two bunches of palm trees and turning her head to Yu He and saying, "You just said you have someone you like? Really? Who is it?"

"I'm teasing you."

Xue Xie patted his chest and took another small sip of beer: "Oh, you scared the hell out of me then ......"

Yu He's hand movement slightly paused, looking at the girl's heartless side face.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Are you afraid that I have someone I like?"

"That's for sure."

"Why?"

"Because I am still bachelor ah, you get off the single I can not often come to play with you?"

...... what a silly reason.

Xue Xie : "What are you laughing at."

Yu He raised his hand, his thumb gently wiped away the pepper powder unintentionally on the corner of her lips, unfolded his eyebrows, and said as if nothing had happened, "How can you eat a kebab and still rub your mouth on it?"

In fact, he has wanted to confess to her for a long time and has been planning to do so since his return to China.

The only thing is that Yu He is a very careful person, he thinks that the confession of this matter, it should be a serious, not a feverish blood, and then without thinking, in the streets of the rowdy so much as to say their own hidden heart for so many years.

So thinking, he digressed: "You should not let your brother and this kind of young girl dating, he is not young, originally character is old-fashioned, peer aunts can not stand him, let alone this kind of girl. She and your brother's generation gap has to be how deep."

"Why are you badmouthing my brother? He doesn't treat you badly!"

Yu He : "I'm telling the truth."

"I bah!"

Yu He rolled his eyes, unable to understand Xue Xie's brother control: "Really, you take the filter off and take a closer look, your brother is older second marriage men, find a virtuous point good character is almost, so young really does not suit him."

"You just save it, my brother is so handsome and so good, why would he settle for?"

"He is handsome, and all day long, he looks at people with high and oblique eyes, and no one owes him." The first time I saw him, I saw him leaning over and biting the straw between his teeth.

That stance, as if which president is being served by the assistant as a matter of course, obviously not even money. How can you be so calm and provocative and sarcastic.

Yu He thought and a bit of fire, I do not know what to change the pestle to the mouth of "Mr. Xie" to make his calm sweep clean, to make his eyes confused, his face was attacked by wretchedness and humiliation.

However, Qingcheng Xie that face will really show that fragile look ......

Yu He had never seen it before, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't imagine it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yu He absentmindedly: "I miss your brother."

"Huh?"

"...... I was wondering if your brother has ever lost his cool and been outclassed."

"Oh, then you die this heart it, since I can remember I have not seen him like that. My big brother is particularly powerful, can be calm can be tough, you do not see him now all day suit pants to take a book, he is like you so big when our piece of the most will fight, once a group of hooligans bullying me, he swung a steel pipe on their more than a dozen punks to clean up carried to the police station ...... later that group of hooligans to see him almost take After that, the group of hooligans saw him almost take a carpet to him to pave the walkway, all nodded and waisted to call him brother, except for one person ...... but that is an isolated phenomenon, can not be counted."

Yu He looked at the light flooding in her eyes, more uncomfortable, smiled: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, as soon as he was mentioned, face worship, always think that your brother is your savior."

"He is! You have no idea how hard it was for him to raise me as a father, mother and brother all by himself ......"

"Then you are also very obedient and save him a lot of trouble."

"...... Hey, I can't, I'm not even a tenth of what he can do." Xue Xie shook her head while eating a skewer, "Hey I can't I can't."

The two of them were talking, and Yu He was watching her in the fire and smoke of the loud wine shop, and he found her a bit funny, and his eyes gradually became tender. He thought, such a good girl, he would not be the only one to like.

He really couldn't wait any longer.

Yu He didn't go back to his dorm room that night, it was too late and he didn't want to disturb his roommates, so after dropping Xue Xie off at the faculty dorm, he had his driver drop him off at a hotel he frequented, took a shower and laid down between fluffy goose down pillows.

"I'm here, you ......"

Fingers flew across the phone screen, but thoughts hit the rocks halfway through typing.

Yu He finally sighed, deleted the contents of the dialog box, gazed at the avatar of the sleepwalking bear on the WeChat interface for a long time, and only sent the simplest two words.

"Good night."

I was just about to turn off the phone when I heard a ding, Yu He thought it was Xue Xie's reply and immediately picked it up to read it.

But the message was actually from the Savior, and it turned out to be a transfer message.

"I just set a limit in the hospital internet banking, now I got it and the money is returned to you."

Yu He originally hated Qingcheng Xie, and when it was not Xue Xie's reply, he was even more cold.

"I'm just saving a person, why should you pay."

Qingcheng Xie also hated Yu He's virtue, and was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply said, "That's a service charge."

"What?"

"You pay me for the service of driving, I can't find a driver as young and strong as you who can race even if I find a substitute driver on the spot."

"......"

He's so capable.

How many people in the world would really dare to treat Shao He as a driver and charge him for his services?

And how does this sound the same as whoring/money!

Yu He's eyes were hazy and he was about to return again when he suddenly and accidentally backed out and saw Xue Xie's chat interface.

He thought again of Xue Xie's bright shining eyes when he mentioned Qingcheng Xie, and the line, "You have no idea how hard it was for my brother to raise me alone ......"

"......"

Forget it, he is at least her big brother.

Yu He then replied: "You're welcome brother Xie, in the future you need to call me at any time, the package you sit comfortable, back to satisfaction."

"Let's start by showing me your car insurance claim abroad."

Yu He's face darkened again: he shouldn't have given him a good look!

That's when the phone vibrated again.

This time it's not Qingcheng Xie, it's Xue Xie.

Xue Xie replied to him, "Good night! Thank you for today."

She got out of the bathroom in the faculty dormitory at Huzhou University, wiping her wet hair and yawning, and had just fished out her phone when she saw a good night message from Yu He. She smiled and replied to his message.

Then she sat down at the table to open the handbook, although these days few people will use pen and paper to record their daily lives, but there are always a few oddballs have this nostalgic heart, willing to wander with the rusty ink, repair the tip of the pen, beige pages in yesterday.

Turning on the light on the writing desk, Xue Xie began to write her bedtime notes:

"Today my brother went on another blind date, but that girl I don't like, I think ......"

I wrote more than 500 words, probably because I mentioned Qingcheng Xie's relationship status, and inevitably I also thought of myself as single.

Xue Xie sighed and looked out the window at the ghostly night with flashing streetlights.

She is different from her brother, her brother is already disappointed in love and marriage, living too sober, peach blossom eyes over, look at anyone look a little impatient.

But she is the one who has a favorite.

The figure of that person vaguely appears in front of his eyes, since childhood, often see him hanging in front of himself, so close and so far.

Although she is clear that they are not the same world, the circle gap is too disparate. Not to mention that he is also younger than her ......

But now that they were both at Huzhou University, she could see that the crop of girls interested in him was more enthusiastic than the autumn wheat waves.

If she does not tell him, there is not much time left, and if she passes by on the wrong shoulder like this, she may regret it later ...... eventually ending up in the same situation as her brother - counting the trivialities of life with people who do not have much affection, saying vows that do not mean what they say, and

She sometimes really can't bear to see her big brother like this, she feels Qingcheng Xie a lot of times is living for others. He said he didn't care about the eyes of others, but he was the one who cared most about his relatives.

Qingcheng Xie is living too tightly.

She also did not advise him, but each time the words between the lips still have half of the box, when the big brother crossed her glance, either to let her study well to control themselves, is to admonish her to say that the adults of the matter you care less, you a little girl you know what.

In fact, the person who knows the least about feelings is instead himself. He has lived a small half of his life, but only got a very failed marriage.

"I want to try and confess to someone I like, since I was a child my brother wanted me to be brave, and I feel the same in this matter. No matter whether it succeeds or not, it's always an effort. When I think about it later, I won't regret it."

Xue Xie finished the last sentence and closed her handbook.

What she didn't know was that a few kilometers away in a hotel suite, Yu He was having similar thoughts to hers ......
