Mr. A who is staying overnight

Chapter 13. Spicy Beef and Shrimp Fish Plate

Short-distance foreign business trips come out of nowhere.

Surrounding districts and counties, starting in the middle of the afternoon, you have to stay overnight.In the mountainous area, it is very cold, and the temperature has dropped one after another recently, with a steep drop of several degrees.Lian Baishu is wearing a woolen coat today, which is more than graceful but not warm enough.In such a short time, he had no choice but to take a taxi and head back.

It's not that he didn't think about asking Che Yao to help deliver the clothes, but it happened that Che Yao mentioned that he had something to go out this morning, half a city away, it would be more convenient for him to go home by himself.

With a sound of 'gaba', Lian Baishu turned the door open.

The winter rain in C city was continuous and fine, and it was very cold for the whole week. The sky was dark and gloomy, the curtains were half drawn, and the living room lights were not turned on.Dim and bleak, it is easy to miss the time in a trance.

It was clearly only half afternoon, but it was more like dusk.

It's cold and empty, you should be used to it, but at first glance, it seems like a world away.Ever since Yaojiao knocked on the door that night, Lian Baishu hasn't seen such an empty house for a long time.

Home.

Lian Baishu paused for a while, then he pursed his lips, rubbed his fingertips subconsciously, and a nameless anxiety burned in his heart.

Confused, he raised his hand and turned on the light with a 'click'.

In the middle of the dining table, five sunflowers tied with ribbon bows were swaying towards Lianbaizhu in a long-necked vase.

They bought the sunflower last weekend before they went to the zoo. They didn't go to the elephant house and didn't give it away, so Che Yao brought it back as it was.The gaudy colorful ribbons he found somewhere were neatly tied under the flower plate, like a small bow tie.

As for the long-necked vase - Yan vase may be exaggerating.The newly opened pottery diy experience studio on the fourth floor of the commercial area downstairs offers a [-]% discount on the experience price set menu for two people. After dinner, they go out for a walk to kill some food. Che Yao pulls a small advertisement, and excitedly drags Lian Baishu to go Now, squeezed among a group of half-sized friends, trying to survive in the cracks, to create such a 'work of art'.

Indeed, it must be classified as a work of art, after all, the bottom of the bottle is crooked, and it has a somewhat uninhibited charm of abstraction.It's a stroke of luck that the base is stable, barely enough to squeeze out a little practical value.

Two colorful buttons, the ink pen rolled over half a rounded arc, forming an irregular smiling face - not enough warmth, more than creepy, every time I see it, the button puppet from Ghost Mother always pops up in Lian Baishu's mind subconsciously .

Che Yao, what a skr talent.

Holding a black backpack, Lian Baishu was sitting on the bullet train bouncing his head in a daze, one hour each way was enough for him to stare.

But I couldn't sleep, and I was restless.

'Dididi' is the notification tone of WeChat messages on mobile phones.

His eyes popped out between the straps of his black backpack, holding his phone and staring at the screen in a daze, unable to muster up the strength to unlock the screen.

Yu Jing, who was lying on the side seat wearing a blindfold to catch up on sleep, sat up at some point, with the blindfold on her forehead, and propping up the small table with one hand, she tilted her head and looked at him.

Due to lack of sleep, Yu Jing's face turned pale.

"??? I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Lian Baishu frantically pressed the mute button, perhaps it was the WeChat notification tone just now that woke him up.

Yu Jing half-closed her eyes, did not respond, and stared straight at Lian Baishu.

Being stared at was extremely uncomfortable, even Bai Shuding touched the back of his neck subconsciously, only to feel that his hairs were about to stand on end.Yu Jing laughed suddenly, she sighed, raised her hand, and pinched Lian Baizhu's cheek hard.

"???" Being pinched suddenly, Lian Baishu was a little confused.

"Battle with the boss on the spot," Yu Jing held on tightly, hating that iron could not be made into steel, "Xiaobai, you are capable now, huh?"

"..." Lian Baishu pursed her mouth and said nothing.

"It's a good thing I only have a stubborn brother like you," Yu Jing shook her head, "otherwise I'd have to break my heart."

Lian Baishu was stunned for a moment, he blinked, his cheeks were pinched and deformed.Crooking the corners of his eyes, he squeezed out a distorted smile.

After getting off the train, we have to transfer to the mountain.It's been a bumpy road.

After finally tossing to the ground, it was almost ten o'clock.Yu Jing didn't have enough rest all day, she was very sleepy, and she didn't have the mood to mention dinner anymore.Accommodation is provided here, but there is no air conditioner, and the night in the mountains is cold and cold. Even Baizhu couldn't think about it, so he found a hotel nearby, but there was only one vacant room left. He booked it and arranged for Yu Jing to live first. down.

"I'm in good health, and I'm not afraid of the cold," Lian Baizhu scratched at the ends of her hair, her nose turned red from the cold.After sending Yu Jing to the hotel, he stood at the door and talked to her, "Sister Jing, go to bed early, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Yu Jing nodded, she paused for a while, and called out Lian Baishu who was about to leave after saying goodbye, "Xiaobai."

"Don't take what Boss said today, I never blamed you. I mean it sincerely."

After getting out of the hotel, the road was quiet, occasionally a dog barked from afar.

With one breath, it could condense into a white mist, even Bai Zhu pulled off the big hat behind the down jacket, and put it on his head casually, with a fluffy fur collar, covering his face tightly.

He rubbed his fingertips.It was the dragon and phoenix I just bought in the small supermarket downstairs of the hotel. I even took a root of Atractylodes macrocephala and stuck it between my fingertips. The night wind was strong, and the tiny flames from the lighter flickered on and off. Scarlet burns in the night.

The light was dim, illuminating a slender figure.He opened his phone and clicked on WeChat.

The one on the train in the middle of the afternoon was indeed sent by Che Yao.

"Ba ba ba," classmate Che Yao sent over a WeChat message, "When will Xiao Lian come back?"

It was the one that Lian Baishu sent at noon. He went on a short business trip to District X in the afternoon and would not come back at night.

Lian Baishu thought for a while, plugged in the earphone cable, and made a direct call.

The cigarette held between his fingertips was still burning.

The answer on the other end of the call was pretty quick.

"Brother Xiao Lian~" Che Yao at the other end was cheerful.

"Student Xiaoche," Lian Baizhu sniffed, shivering from the night wind, staring blankly at the shadow of long white smoke fluttering in the air, "Have you eaten tonight?"

"Not yet, let's eat later, have you eaten yet?" Che Yao paused for a while, "Is it cold over there?"

"No, I just arrived at the place. I'll buy a bucket of instant noodles and go back later. Don't worry, I've got my clothes at home, and I won't be cold," Lian Baishu kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, "Guess what I'm here for?" What are you doing?" He thought again.

"Why~"

"Come and count the piglets."

It's really happy to slap the skin one, two, three, four, five.

"Hmmmmm?????"

Lian Baishu imagined it for a while, and Che Yao on the other side of the screen was scratching his head in doubt, and couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing.

"Take a black pen and write one, two, three, four, five on the top of the pig's pink head, rush to a place, and then take a photo," Lian Baishu kindly explained, "It's almost the end of the year, go to the audit site, go to the mountains to take stock Little pig, see if it matches the amount on the account."

"From now on, I will surpass Little Pig," he said with some emotion, "Come, experience my rich life experience."

"Then you pick the most pink one when the time comes," Che Yao eager to try, "Click one from the angle of my WeChat avatar. Then replace it."

"Wow, from now on it will be a duo of chasing pigs and lambs, the most beautiful duo, enough to line up."

"..." Thinking of Che Yao's mushy lamb-like head, even Bai Shu was speechless, and he gave up.

The cigarette in his hand burned to the end, even Baizhu brought it to his mouth, took a long puff, the scarlet light lit up, burned for a long time until it reached the filter cigarette holder, pressed it out and threw it to the side of the road, Lian Baizhu buried his face in the hair. In the big hat, he rarely got childish.Jumping around to step on his own shadow, the part protruding from the tip of the hat, it looks like it should not be stepped on.

"I'm super awesome today, and I battled with the boss on the spot." Lian Baishu raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose, grinning sullenly, "It's a memorable day in my life when I've been opened up."

"A life without a boss is incomplete," Che Yao said nonsense solemnly, "Congratulations, you can cross off another item from your list of 'one hundred things you must do in life'."

"What the hell kind of list is that? Is Che's original creation?" Lian Baishu laughed out loud, he paused for a long time, and then heaved a long sigh, "I...I'm in a bit of a complicated mood right now."

"Want to say it," Che Yao on the other end said leisurely, "or can you say it?"

"If Brother Lian is willing to say, I can make a tree hole that only one can't get in."

Stepping on the tumbling gravel and grinding it into fine powder, left a long scratch on the cement road, "It's hard to say," Lian Baishu hesitated for a while, "I have to organize my words."

"Okay," Che Yao didn't force it, "Come and talk to me when you want to talk."

"I'm super idle~"

"Actually, it's a good thing if you don't know for sure." Lian Baishu tugged at the brim of his hat and wrapped himself up more tightly. A light flashed behind him, which was a myopic light for driving at night. He hurried to the side of the road and leaned back again. "As the Chinese New Year approaches, I took some time to go to the town to pre-order the bacon and sausages, and send them home after they are smoked."

"Currently the urban area is strictly controlled, and finding a place to smoke cured meat is like an underground = lower = party joint."

"Indeed." Che Yao also felt that it was not bad, "the pigs here are even more fragrant than the pigs in the city."

"Hey, brother Lian, let's be honest first, do you want to eat spicy beef or fresh shrimp and fish plate later in the evening?"

"Why can it only be spicy beef or fresh shrimp fish board?" The car behind, why didn't pass by, even Baizhu was dazzled by the myopia light, he turned his head to look, "I am so pursuing, it is all For those who eat old sauerkraut beef, someone imitates my face and wants to..."

After honking the horn twice, Che Yao squinted on the driver's seat and waved at him, "Because there are only these two types left in Qi Ming's car."

Through the microphone, Lian Baishu heard Che Yao's reply with a playful smile.

"Can I ask for a cigarette, Brother Lian?"

Even Bai Zhu pressed her chest subconsciously, it was so cold this day, her heart almost froze.

boom,

bang bang,

bang bang bang,

bang bang bang bang

It's about to jump out of my throat.
