"There's a seat, there's a seat, stop here!" The waiter noticed that Feng Jiajia's car was slowly approaching the food stall, and immediately waved and greeted her enthusiastically, his face filled with the unique enthusiasm and friendliness of Guangdong Province.

Feng Jiajia skillfully parked the car at the designated location, and the two got out one after another. The night breeze blew by, bringing the aroma of the food stalls and the hustle and bustle of the streets in the distance, making people feel happy.

"Beautiful ladies, how many are you?" the waiter greeted warmly.

Feng Jiajia smiled slightly. She glanced around the food stall and saw Hu Xu waving at them.

"My friend is here, thank you." Feng Jiajia responded to the waiter and pointed in the direction of Hu Xu.

The waiter immediately understood and enthusiastically led them to Hu Shi's seat.

Hu Xu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw them coming, he quickly stood up to greet them.

"I finally waited for two beautiful ladies. I missed you so much~"

Feng Jiajia glanced at him, a teasing smile appeared on her lips, and she said with a look of disdain, "It's only a few months, why are you being so pretentious?"

An Ran smiled softly, pulled out a plastic stool and sat down, then gently patted the seat next to her, motioning Feng Jiajia to sit down as well.

Hu Xu chuckled, not minding Feng Jiajia's teasing, and sat down next to her.

"What do you want to eat?"

Feng Jiajia unpacked the bowl and chopsticks in front of her and said casually, "It's all right. You haven't eaten for a long time, right? You order."

Hu Xu smiled and said, "Okay."

"Handsome boy!" He waved to the waiter and looked at the menu and said, "Shrimp in spicy sauce, prawns in spicy sauce, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic spare ribs, sweet and sour pork, baked bitter melon with salted egg yolk, stir-fried beef noodles, and Chinese cabbage with fermented bean curd."

An Ran looked at Hu Shi in surprise and asked, "You ordered so much?"

Hu Xu smiled and said, "I haven't eaten for a long time."

Feng Jiajia said: "You have graduated, haven't you? Are you still worried that you won't have enough to eat in the future?"

An Ran asked: "Do you work in Shenzhen?"

Hu Xu nodded. "Yes, I signed with a law firm in Shenzhen and will officially start working after the new year."

"Congratulations!" Feng Jiajia and An Ran said in unison.

"Which law firm? I will definitely avoid it in the future." Feng Jiajia joked.

Hu Xu rolled his eyes at her and retorted in a feigned anger: "You look down on me so much? After all, I am also a graduate student of the University of Political Science and Law!"

Seeing this, Feng Jiajia quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "Oh, I was just kidding. You are our pride! We will have to rely on Attorney Hu to take us out for a good meal in the future."

An Ran said: "When I make enough money in the next few years, I plan to go to graduate school."

Feng Jiajia said: "Does your family member agree?"

An Ran replied: "I haven't told him yet. This is something that has not even been decided yet."

"Are you in love?" Hu Xu suddenly interrupted while listening to their conversation.

An Ran smiled slightly and nodded.

Hu Xu was a little surprised. "After that scumbag incident, I was worried that your next relationship would be a long way off."

Feng Jiajia smiled and said, "Oh, Lao Hu, don't worry about it. Ranran is very happy now. Her husband really dotes on her."

Hu Xu showed a relieved smile, "That's good, that's good."

Feng Jiajia asked: "What about you? When will you start dating?"

Hu Xu's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Feng Jiajia and he smiled bitterly.

An Ran glanced at Hu Shi and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Feng Jiajia didn't seem to notice Hu Xu's strangeness. She continued to joke, "Don't be so picky. I'll introduce you to some sexy girls some other day."

Hu Xu forced a smile and responded nonchalantly.

Feng Jiajia said: "I'm going to the bathroom."

After she left, Hu Xu's eyes followed her back unconsciously until she disappeared from his sight. He retracted his gaze, looked at An Ran, and asked softly: "Is she still with that guy?"

An Ran nodded, "This is her longest relationship so far."

Hu Xu smiled self-deprecatingly.

Then he whispered, "Are they...happy?"

An Ran looked at him with some sympathy.

She knew Hu Xu's feelings for Feng Jiajia, and understood his mood at the moment. She nodded gently, "It seems so. They are very happy together."

Hu Xu was silent for a while and smiled bitterly.

An Ran asked: "You haven't let it go yet?"

Hu Xu lowered his head and bit his lower lip. "After so many years, it seems that my heart can't accommodate anyone else."

Then he raised his head, forced a smile, and asked, "Now that she's had enough fun, she should be able to see me, right?"

An Ran looked at him with mixed emotions.

After a while, Feng Jiajia came back and the dishes were served one after another.

Hu Xu mechanically picked up the chopsticks and ate the food as if he was chewing wax.

Feng Jiajia looked at Hu Shi, who looked a little depressed, and asked with concern: "Old Hu, what's wrong with you? Are these dishes not to your taste?"

Hu Xu raised his head and forced a smile, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

Feng Jiajia complained: "Why are you so tired? It's not like you just came back from abroad and you need to adjust to the time difference."

She blinked and asked, "Are you worried about something? Tell me and I'll help you analyze it."

Hu Xu chuckled and said, "After dinner, I'll go to your house to have a drink with you in the evening."

Hu Xu's house is next door to Feng Jiajia's house. In the past, they often met in Feng Jiajia's garden to drink and chat in the evening.

Feng Jiajia hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Maybe it won't work. My boyfriend is a bit clingy, and I live with him now."

"Living together?" Hu Xu asked in shock.

He didn't expect that Feng Jiajia had reached this point with her boyfriend. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

Hu Xu remained silent, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

Feng Jiajia nodded, patted Hu Xu's shoulder gently, and said softly: "I'll drink with you now!"

She ordered a few bottles of beer, but didn't drink. She just sat quietly by their side to keep them company.

Hu Xu picked up the wine bottle, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The cold liquid flowed down his throat, taking away a trace of the annoyance in his heart.

We talked about the past, and those good times seemed to be right in front of us, yet already out of reach.

His heart was filled with regret and unwillingness, and he didn't know how to face this reality.

An Ran looked at the empty dozen beers under the table and asked worriedly, "Old Hu, are you drunk?"

Feng Jiajia nodded.

Hu Xu shook his head, trying to stay sober, "No, I'm not drunk."

Feng Jiajia said: "You drank too much, let me take you home."

Hu Xu shook his head stubbornly, "No, I can go back by myself."

Feng Jiajia and An Ran looked at each other helplessly, and An Ran said, "You've been drinking too, let's take a taxi to send him back."
