Look good

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure.

Because they won't be staying for too long, neither of them brought any luggage. Wen Changrong had specifically told Qiao Xing to wear a wedding ring when he went back this time, so the man asked him again when he got in the car, looking very cautious.

After Qiao Xing took out the ring box and opened it to reveal the ring inside, Wen Changrong heaved a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved.

"Why, are you afraid that I won't see the ring again?" Qiao Xing looked at the man's expression and thought it was funny, "I took the medicine on time, and now a course of treatment is almost over, so there is no problem at all."

"The medicine has a certain effect, but you are mainly psychologically impaired... Forget it." Wen Changrong said, "Just wear the ring."

"Oh!" Qiao Xing didn't bother to dwell on this question, he just turned his head to look at the galloping scenery outside the window, and asked, "We won't live in 'Xinyue' when we go to County A this time, right?"

Xinyue was the hotel where Qiao Xing worked.

County A is a small town, how small is it? The Xinyue Hotel where Qiao Xing was located was the top and only four-star hotel in County A. The big bosses and people who come and go in the whole county, all of them pay attention to it. I only live in Xinyue, and Xinyue eats, drinks, and has fun... Whoring is also the best in County A. Let alone other hotels, it is difficult to even get in.

At that time, Qiao Xing used means to snatch Wen Changrong's business from the hotel's public relations business. Later, he broke up with the people in the hotel and left. Embarrassed.

"Xinyue has closed down a long time ago," Wen Changrong said, "I haven't decided where to live yet. There are quite a lot of hotels in County A now, so don't worry about where to live. We'll see where you want to live and then book it."

Hearing the news of Xinyue's bankruptcy, Qiao Xing was a little surprised. In just seven years, the 'top' in County A was gone.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, seven years is enough to change a lot, he has changed from a turkey to a beautiful woman, and a small four-star hotel is not allowed to close down.

The car drove steadily on the road, and the scenery along the way gradually changed from bustling to simple. Qiao Xing thought of the long journey back to County A and decided to take a nap first.

He took out the blanket and pillows with ease: "Call me when you get there, and catch up on sleep."

"Yeah." Wen Changrong nodded, and gave the driver in front of him a look. The driver turned up the air conditioner slightly.

……

The drivers of the Wen family were skilled, and the car drove very smoothly along the way, but Qiao Xing still fell asleep intermittently, waking up several times during the period, and each time saw Wen Changrong looking at the tablet on the tray seriously, holding He is drawing with an electronic pen, looking very busy.

Arriving in County A was much earlier than Qiao Xing expected. Originally, it took five hours to reach City A from County A, but this time it took three hours to arrive on the highway. Qiao Xing was so moved that he wanted to praise the motherland and build his hometown [-] words of red literature.

It happened to be noon when we arrived in County A. Although we came to do business, we had to eat first. The group decided to find something to fill their stomachs first. The car finally stopped at a relatively prosperous street.

The car stopped, and Qiao Xing got out of the car. He stood on the side of the road and looked at the familiar street. Although this place has changed a lot, it is still a small place, and the lively place remains unchanged for thousands of years.

"What are we going to eat?" Unlike Qiao Xing, who was full of emotions, Wen Changrong just glanced at the various shops on the street expressionlessly, focusing on how to fill his stomach. After all, they had to do business in the afternoon.

"Well..." Qiao Xing glanced at the various shops in front of him. It has been seven years. Although the basic appearance of County A has not changed, the shops and the like have changed a lot. He used to be able to walk in this street with his eyes closed. Let's go, but now I really don't know which one's food is delicious.

"Huh?" Qiao Xing suddenly saw a familiar signboard, and he tugged on Wen Changrong's sleeve, "Look at that 'Aunt Wang Crab', is it the one we used to eat?"

Hearing this, Wen Changrong looked up, the man's gaze stayed on the familiar marquee signboard for a while, and he nodded. "It's true if you look at the signboard."

"Then shall we go eat here?"

This crab shop used to be near Qiao Xing's high school. From the first day of opening, Qiao Xing often drools looking at the signboard. Unfortunately, he was poor in high school for three and a half years and had nothing to eat. After he caught up with Wen Changrong, he tried every means every day Wen Changrong was 'abducted' to the crab shop, and finally stopped when he was allergic to too much protein in a short period of time.

"..." Wen Changrong glanced at Qiao Xing's shining eyes, nodded, "OK."

***

As soon as the two entered the store, the proprietress looked at them with a look of 'here comes the fat sheep'.

Qiao Xing stopped at that time, and subconsciously didn't want to go in, but the gray-haired proprietress kept her gaze on Wen Changrong's face for a long time, and said pleasantly.

"Ah, it's you, young man! Are you that...that! Wen what..." The proprietress slapped her head, "Oh, anyway, when our house was still next to No. 1000 Middle School, you and a boy...friend came to my house shop, you ate more than [-] at our house for the first time? Then you came here for more than a month?"

Wen Changrong nodded. "Seems to be."

"I remember you, I remember you," the proprietress hurriedly asked someone to arrange a seat. Wen Changrong gave this store an unknown amount of money back then, and the proprietress certainly had a deep memory.

After watching Wen Changrong, the proprietress' eyes fell on Qiao Xing. The woman looked left and right, and said with a smile, "This little brother is here for the first time..."

"I'm Xiao Qiao." Qiao Xing smiled at the proprietress generously. The county is small, so he brought Wen Changrong to this crab shop and ate a lot. Of course the proprietress knew his name.

"It's you?" The proprietress was even more surprised, "I can't tell...the changes are too great."

"The native chicken has turned into a small tit, hasn't it?"

"You turned into a phoenix, of course you weren't ugly back then..." the proprietress said so, her eyes lingered on the two of them, and she blinked pointedly. "How about... arrange a box for you? We have a box now."

"Okay." Wen Changrong has always been a person who loves to be clean, and it is of course best to have a private room.

Entering the box, it was still the familiar square table and the familiar old tableware. The two of them sat down very naturally as they did back then. Wen Changrong sat on the right side of the table, and Qiao Xing sat next to the man's hand.

"Our family still has that kind of big crab," the proprietress gestured with her hand, "The big one, the crab legs are delicious..."

"Yes, yes," Qiao Xing nodded without saying a word, "Steamed."

"okay."

The proprietress went down to prepare the ingredients, and Qiao Xing grabbed the melon seeds and licked them. After a few seconds, he bowed slightly, showing a tired but relaxed posture.

Qiao Xing knew that his appearance was unsightly, but he really didn't want to straighten his back. He used to hate this land very much, but he didn't expect to feel good when he came back this time.

Familiar environment, familiar traffic, he seems to have returned to many years ago, he doesn't have to tense his back reflexively like in city A, even if he eats a roadside stall, he is afraid that if his posture is wrong, he will reveal that he used to be a 'countryman' In this matter, everyone here is the same as him, he just needs to wait with the most comfortable posture.

……

The prawns and crabs were quickly prepared and brought to the table. The aroma made people move their index fingers. Qiao Xing held the chopsticks with glowing eyes and was ready to go. Wen Changrong put on gloves and picked up a brine shrimp. Remove the shell and take out the shrimp intestines with a toothpick on the table, then put the shrimp meat into Qiao Xing's bowl.

The chopsticks that Qiao Xing had been carrying for a while finally had a place to go. The fresh and sweet shrimp meat was imported. He chewed a few times in satisfaction, then put down the chopsticks, and then put on his gloves to deal with the spicy little crabs over there.

With one bite of crab and one bite of shrimp, Qiao Xing suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Before he could say anything, the proprietress over there had already arrived with a big golden crab all over her body.

"Here comes the crab." The proprietress put the steaming big crab in front of Wen Changrong, and put the scissors for cutting the crab's legs in the man's hand, and then looked at the two with a smile, "Take it easy, both of you."

"Hmm..." Qiao Xing gnawed on the crab leg and said goodbye.

"Do you want to eat the legs first?" Wen Changrong said, looking at the steaming big crab.

"Yes." Qiao Xing answered naturally.

In this way, the man cleaned up the shrimp in his hand and put it into his bowl, then reached out to break off the crab legs, cut the crab shell and peeled off the crab meat - put it into Qiao Xing's bowl.

Flowing clouds and water, in one go.

Aww, after eating a mouthful of crab meat in one bite, Qiao Xing recalled what he realized just now was wrong.

——Wen Changrong actually waited on him for dinner, he died a long time ago.

Qiao Xing was in a daze with a crab leg in his mouth, but Wen Changrong had already broken off the second crab leg naturally, and then quickly put the second snow-white crab leg meat into his bowl.

Is it strange that Wen Changrong 'served' him for dinner?Strange, not surprising.

The strange thing is that Wen Changrong hasn't peeled the shrimp shells and cut the crab legs for him for a long time. It's not surprising that Wen Changrong has always been like this during the short time they lived in County A.

The two met in the closed Xinyue Hotel. It was of course impossible for Wen Changrong to be taken care of by Qiao Xing's silly and sweet appearance after talking about having sex.

But after Qiao Xing praised the man for being a graduate student, the man looked at him with a kind of "Where did this country bumpkin come from?", and then he got dressed and was about to leave. Qiao Xing was so anxious at the time, he could only hurry Looking for a topic to ask Wen Changrong how long he plans to stay in County A, Wen Changrong answered casually for about a month, and then hurriedly said that he grew up in this place, and asked Wen Changrong if he needed a tour guide.

How can a city as small as County A need a tour guide, but it was probably because Wen Changrong did come to County A for the first time at that time, and he was not familiar with the environment, and maybe it was too boring in a small place like County A, so it would be much more interesting if someone accompanied him. , and Qiao Xing's simplicity was just right, the man thought for a while, and finally agreed.

They said they were tour guides, but they both knew what they were actually doing.

Qiao Xing forced her to take a month off because her aunt was seriously ill and was about to die, and she spent every day with Wen Changrong shamelessly.

Although Qiao Xing was drooling at the crab shop in high school, he had never eaten it once, so he was a little nervous when he lured Wen Changrong to the crab shop for the first time, because he had never been there before, and he would never know how to eat it. eat.

County A is a small inland town. When his parents were still there, the transportation in County A was inconvenient. It was difficult for Qiao Xing to see aquatic products such as shrimps and crabs when he was a child. The county has started to have seafood shops one after another, but he has become a small cabbage, his hands are tight, and he can't wait to spend one dollar in eight parts. A meal is at least one piece of Grandpa Mao's seafood, which is a luxury for him. .

When the two went to the crab shop for the first time, there happened to be no one in the shop, and Qiao Xing had no one else to refer to. When the shrimps and crabs came, he waited anxiously for Wen Changrong to eat first, so that he could learn, but the dishes were served for a few minutes. Wen Changrong didn't even look at it, just lowered his head and ate the noodles.

Qiao Xing couldn't help it anymore, he picked up the small river crab that was not half the size of a palm, although it was cut open but no matter how it looked, it had no meat, and he groaned - almost knocked his teeth out.

Wen Changrong was taken aback by his reckless way of eating. He glanced at him and said, "...just eat the meat inside the shell. There is also some meat in the legs, but not much, eat slowly."

"...Oh." Qiao Xing blushed. In order to hide the embarrassment that he didn't know how to eat crabs, he picked up the boiled brine shrimp, and he took a mouthful of the head and the shell - almost missed by the shell. Choked to death.

Wen Changrong: "The shell is peeled off, it's best not to eat the head."

"Oh!"

After the man finished eating the noodles, he picked up the prawns, pinched the heads and peeled off the shells. Wen Changrong looked at the black thing under the meat, was silent for a while, and said, "Go and eat the prawn intestines yourself."

"?"

……

Later they went for the second and third time... Qiao Xing was always stupid when he went to the shrimp intestines, and sometimes he would just stuff it into his mouth when he got annoyed.

Wen Changrong told him several times, but Qiao Xing would occasionally forget about it when he was having a good time, and the two came for the fourth and fifth time...Wen Changrong took a toothpick from his sleeve, and picked the shrimp intestines before giving him to eat.

Qiao Xing was flattered: "Why are you like this... this, this, this..."

Wen Changrong replied with a cold face: "I don't want to kiss someone who has eaten dirty things."

As soon as the words came out, the people at the next table were stunned, Qiao Xing's face turned red on the spot, and he said in a low voice, "I just forget sometimes, and I always rinse my mouth after eating... "

"Okay, just eat yours." Wen Changrong angrily put the peeled shrimps into his bowl.

Later, when I went to the store, peeling the shrimp became Wen Changrong's specialty.

Later, they went to the local 'luxury restaurant' for the first time to eat big crabs. The first time he cut the crab legs clumsily and almost scratched his hand, Wen Changrong immediately turned cold and grabbed the legs to help him cut them. Crab legs have also become a wonderful tradition.

Did Wen Changrong really think he was dirty and stupid?of course not.

Sometimes Qiao Xing hadn’t had time to rinse his mouth after eating, and Wen Changrong would kiss him abruptly. Qiao Xing was also stupid when he played the dancing machine, but as long as he didn’t hurt himself, Wen Changrong would stand patiently. Watch him from the side and teach him how to play and exert strength.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xing suddenly remembered why he fell in love with Wen Changrong in the first place.

Although he was young at first, he was actually a relatively rational person. At first, he mistook Wen Changrong for his savior, but he definitely didn't fall into it wholeheartedly, because he clearly knew that there was a huge difference between himself and Wen Changrong. It is true that Wen Changrong is a Phoenix branch, but he is not necessarily a little sparrow. There is a high probability that he is just a little pheasant. If the pheasant walks on a branch, it may fall to a bloody mess before it can stand still.

Why did you fall in love with Wen Changrong later?

Probably because - he really felt that he was loved.

Wen Changrong always has a cold face and bad temper, but many good things are hidden in every detail of life.

The man didn't talk about it, but he did a lot. For example, Wen Changrong ate crabs for more than half a month. Xing didn't want to mention his family, so Wen Changrong didn't ask again. He only gave Qiao Xing some more money when his aunt came, and asked Qiao Xing to send her away. For example, Qiao Xing followed a man to City A for the first time. , he was frightened by the skyscrapers and the turbulent crowd, Wen Changrong held his hand tightly to keep him from getting lost, and then there was himself who was still braving the rustic at that time, Wen Changrong took his hand and introduced him to friends... For example, No matter how fiercely they quarreled, he also helped him take care of his younger brother, let alone threatened him with his younger brother.

There are too many similar details, so many that Qiao Xing has the illusion that he is loved by Wen Changrong.

He thought that he was really that little sparrow buried in a distant county, one of the male/female protagonists in those novels, and he was about to climb his Phoenix branch, and his domineering president had already said to him, "Man, You managed to get my attention' and he lived happily ever after.

That's why he flies into the flames, and that's why he doesn't hold back, and that's why he's -- really stupid as hell.

It is the normal state of the world to wait to change the old people's hearts, and it is the final destination of too many people with different identities. This person is so touching when he loves him, and he is so straightforward when he doesn't love him.

"..."

The crab leg in his hand suddenly tasted bad, and the joy of the slave turning over to be the master was gone. Qiao Xing gritted his teeth fiercely. When Wen Changrong put the fourth crab leg into his bowl, he viciously smashed the crab leg in front of the man. He carried the three plates far away, then moved his butt and sat down heavily on the other end of the table.

"..." The man's hand was hanging above the plate and was about to get him the fifth crab leg, but seeing that the plate disappeared instantly, he looked at Qiao Xing in a daze.

"It's not that I'm without hands, what are you peeling? Do you think I'm an idiot?!" Qiao Xing was fierce, breaking off the crab's legs with a ferocious face, imagining that he was breaking off Mr. Wen's second child, "Scum It's going to kill me..."

"?" Wen Changrong didn't understand why the topic jumped to scum, his eyebrows slowly gathered, and he looked at Qiao Xing inexplicably.

The fat assistant and the driver over there had just parked the car and walked into the box with one foot, but seeing the calm atmosphere in the box, Wen Changrong's eyebrows were like a rag, and he took a deep breath:

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, someone will replace you when you get sick, and beat my baby to sleep with my wife..."

"Pfft." The water in Qiao Xing's mouth almost spewed out. Wen Changrong gave the fat assistant a hard look. The fat assistant took half a step back in fright, and stood up boldly, clenching his fist and whispering: "Mr. Wen, come on!" !"

******

Wen Changrong didn't eat a single bite of the crab meal at noon, not because Qiao Xing refused to eat it, but because the man ordered a bowl of plain noodles afterwards, and Qiao Xing knew that Wen Changrong had just recovered and should not eat cold or spicy food.

The man only entered this restaurant to accompany him. In the past, Qiao Xing might have been touched, but since he just remembered the time when he was silly and sweet, he wasn't too moved at the moment. He said that he should eat Chinese food that is not spicy and not greasy for dinner, so as to prevent Wen Changrong from eating noodles and becoming malnourished.

"Just now there was news that this photo was taken in the small conference room on the third floor of the company." After eating and drinking, of course they had to get down to business. When the group returned to the car, Wen Changrong took out the photo he had just received. Compare the pictures and show Qiao Xing, "Do you remember when this small conference room is usually used? Or for group meetings?"

The picture was taken by Wen Changrong's men at the scene just now, and the slightly distorted corner of the blackboard revealed in the photo perfectly fits the distorted corner of the blackboard in the conference room. Qiao Xing looked at it for a while and replied: "If I remember correctly... it's the opening More secret meetings are useful."

"secret?"

"Well, because I can enter other conference rooms, but not this one." Qiao Xing said, "If it is this one, the people who can enter should be high-level people. I remember my father entering this conference room several times. All of them were executives, and they wouldn’t let me in after the meeting.”

"Is this woman in the photo a high-level person?"

"……no."

The man tapped his fingers on the chair twice, thought for a few seconds, and said, "If this is the case, it will be easier to handle."

"?How to say?"

"If that woman is not a high-level person, she should have entered that meeting room very rarely, and someone will always remember it." Wen Changrong said, "If the high-level executives don't cooperate with us, you can call any employee you knew before and ask who When exactly did the woman enter the conference room?"

"But..." Qiao Xing said in embarrassment, "I was still young at that time, and I knew only a few people. They might not know when that woman entered the conference room..."

"You said that you suddenly found out that the woman was suspected of using company secrets to embezzle public funds. Now the police are investigating. That meeting room is an important location. If found out, according to the law, all employees of the company will be able to share the money. "Wen Changrong said, "You don't need to worry about the future. You don't know all the employees of the company. The employees will always know each other. If you pass on ten or ten to a hundred, there will be news anyway. If you meet a smart person, you will Direct contact with people who have access to the top, so they get more money and we get more accurate information."

"..." Qiao Xing blinked at Wen Changrong, and said flatteringly, "You really deserve to be Mr. Wen."

Wen Changrong glanced at him, ignored his hypocritical flattery, and continued: "Just in case, you should emphasize the truthful information. If you make up random information, it will take a long time to investigate, which is not conducive to the police investigation, so you can't tell the truth. Here comes the money."

"Oh!"
