At sunset, the mountains are far away

When Xia Chengqi returned to the apartment, he sat on the floor with his back against the bed and looked out the window.Her mind was not occupied by Su Qingmo's affairs, it was just a little empty, as if she hadn't thought about anything, but her mind was obviously groggy.It seems that in such a helpless and confused night, it is easy for people to become vulnerable.Xia Chengqi urgently needs to hear Tao Yan's voice at this moment, even though he can see Tao Yan the day after tomorrow.

"Hey, Tao Yan, what are you doing?"

"Nothing to do, just read a book." Tao Yan on the other end of the phone was wearing earphones, and his voice was slightly lowered, for fear that his voice would be transmitted to Xia Chengqi's ears through the earphones. They fell asleep one after another, basically without any noise.

"Oh, then you will arrive at the train station the day after tomorrow, and I will pick you up."

"Okay, then I'll hang up first, I'm a little sleepy today."

Xia Chengqi originally wanted to listen to Tao Yan's voice more, so that he could gain some peace, but he was not a person who would find topics to chat with. Once Tao Yan showed no desire to speak, the conversation between the two would basically end in a hurry .Fortunately, Tao Yan will be there the day after tomorrow, and the two of them can stay together for a whole week.

After Tao Yan on the other end of the phone hung up the phone, he was lying on the berth of the train smiling.In fact, in order to meet Xia Chengqi sooner, Tao Yan made a special adjustment to the class, and finished the few classes before the holiday in one day. As soon as the class bell rang, he hurried to the train station and set foot on the train to Qinghai. It was to surprise Xia Chengqi.Tao Yan thought of Xia Chengqi's surprised smile when he saw him, the smile on his face was clearly visible in the night.

When going to work the next day, Xia Chengqi didn't see Su Qingmo appearing in the company for a long time. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to inquire about it. own worries.Xia Chengqi didn't see Su Qingmo until he got off work in the afternoon, but the colleagues around him didn't take it seriously, saying that it wasn't the first time Su Qingmo didn't show his face during working hours.But when he thought of the bald man whose malicious intentions were revealed last night, Xia Chengqi still felt faintly uneasy, and decided to make a phone call tonight.

"Miss Xia."

As soon as Xia Chengqi walked out of the gate of the office building, he heard a familiar male voice calling to him. Following the voice, it turned out to be the bald man Mr. Sun from last night.

"I don't know if Miss Xia is free to have dinner together tonight?" Mr. Sun's question this time is not as frivolous as it was yesterday, it was a little formal, but it still made Xia Chengqi feel disgusted.But Xia Chengqi thought about it, perhaps through this bald man, he could know the reason behind Su Qingmo's actions last night, so he didn't refuse Mr. Sun's invitation, but Xia Chengqi was careful when choosing the location of the restaurant.

Xia Chengqi got on his bicycle and rushed to the restaurant they had agreed upon.Mr. Sun, who was sitting in the car, had an inexplicable smile on his face.This Miss Xia is a bit interesting, she rides a broken bicycle and refuses to sit in her four-wheeled luxury car, and even chooses a different restaurant, so she even invites herself to eat Mala Tang.But didn't she obediently agree to her invitation to have dinner together? It seemed that she was just a superficially noble lord.He wanted to see who the woman Su Qingmo was desperately protecting last night was.

Xia Chengqi was picking and choosing in front of the freezer, looking serious about eating, but Mr. Sun, who was at the side, was at a loss for the food in the freezer. He had never eaten Malatang.Xia Chengqi couldn't help being amused when he saw that President Sun was a little dazed, and seeing himself pick and choose in a dull and affectionate way.

"Mr. Sun, do you like meat or vegetarian?"

"Be more vegetarian."

"Okay, then Mr. Sun find a seat and sit down first, and I will choose the dishes." Mr. Sun looked at Xia Chengqi who was carefully picking and choosing in front of the freezer across a few tables. He suddenly felt a sense of trance, as if he It's a dinner with old friends of many years, not for some sexual purpose.

Xia Chengqi chose the ingredients, and asked Mr. Sun when he walked past, "What kind of spiciness do you want? Is it okay to be slightly spicy?"

"Ah, good. Thank you." Mr. Sun realized that he had lost the ability to control the situation, so he could only respond to Xia Chengqi's question passively.After Xia Chengqi went to the counter to pay the money, he naturally sat in front of Mr. Sun's table, "Mr. Sun invited me last time, and this time I repay the courtesy, but I don't care about the quality of the restaurant." Xia Chengqi finished speaking After showing a clean smile, he began to casually look around the decoration of the store.Mr. Sun was a bit confused by Xia Chengqi's hospitality and that clean smile. He was trying to understand what was happening in front of him, but he suddenly remembered his own daughter who also had a bright and bright smile. Knowing that tonight is destined to have nothing to do with it.After the spicy soup was served, the two of them ate in silence, only hearing the sound of Chi Liu eating the noodles.Mr. Sun was surprised that the taste of Mala Tang seemed to be pretty good.

"You're not from Qinghai, are you?"

"No, I'm from the south."

"How did you come here?"

"Qinghai has its own charm." The two chatted like a pair of old friends, and soon finished their meal.The two wiped their mouths, and began to prepare to cut into the topic.

"I've been thinking about why you agreed to have dinner with me just now. But I think I know the answer." Mr. Sun has long since lost his snarky and malicious appearance last night, and just said it in an ordinary way The tone said.

"Really?" Xia Chengqi put his hands on the table and looked straight at Mr. Sun.This meal made her more convinced of some of her previous thoughts; things in the world are not always black and white, since people are human, they have basic demands as human beings, but some people's demands are buried too deep, Even myself and the people around me can't see clearly.

"You want to know what happened last night, or what exactly Su Qingmo wants from me." When Mr. Sun said this, he leaned forward slightly, meeting Xia Chengqi's eyes.

The latter's eyes were slightly bent into an arc, and the corners of his lips were also raised, "Then, is Mr. Sun willing to tell the whole story?"

After hearing this, Mr. Sun smiled without saying a word, leaned back, and looked directly at Xia Chengqi, as if he was thinking about something.The two looked at each other, letting the noisy and lively atmosphere around them wrap them up.

"May I ask Miss Xia a question?"

"Excuse me."

With a self-deprecating smile on Mr. Sun's face, he said unhurriedly, "A person like me, is it pathetic in Ms. Xia's eyes? I want to tell the truth." Xia Chengqi never expected to be asked about This question, the corners of the curved lips gradually drooped, and the expression gradually became solemn.

"Yes. But tonight's meal made me feel that I still don't know much about people."

"Thank you." Mr. Sun may not have realized it himself, but tonight alone he said thank you twice in succession, and they were all sincere thanks without any insincerity involved.

"Su Qingmo sacrificed her life so that I could use the resources at hand to help her find the parents of a kidnapped child named Dongdong. Also, you'd better go and see her." When Mr. Sun said the last sentence , a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, Xia Chengqi couldn't hold back Xia Chengqi's questioning eyes, got up in a hurry and left.Xia Chengqi bowed his head and thought for a while before he understood the meaning of that sentence.He sighed slightly inwardly, not knowing whether it was because of Su Qingmo or Mr. Sun who felt guilty.
