nothing wrong

After watching the elderly couple wash their hair in their small courtyard, the sun was setting, the town was not crowded, and the streets became quiet after nightfall, Xia Xun asked Xiao Xingchen if he should just find a small restaurant nearby to have dinner Going home, Xiao Xingchen readily agreed.

But the two had no goals and were not sure what to eat, so they just walked aimlessly along the old street. After walking for about ten minutes, Xiao Xingchen stopped and pointed to the signboard in front of him—"Fuxing remember". "How about eating noodles tonight?" He began to look at the old-fashioned menu hanging at the door, and when he saw crab roe noodles that were in season, he turned his head to Xia Xun and asked, "There are bald butter noodles, so it seems that we must try it." tasted."

"Okay." Xia Xun looked at this noodle restaurant. It is hidden in the alley. It is really an old house with brick, tile and wood structure. It is not very eye-catching. It's unbelievable that Tuhao noodles are only sold at two-thirds of the price.

"The boss wants two bowls of bald butter noodles." Xiao Xingchen walked into the shop and said to the counter.

There are not many diners inside, in twos and threes, and one person occupies a table of the Eight Immortals.

The middle-aged woman sitting behind the old-fashioned counter was knitting a sweater. Hearing what Xiao Xingchen said, she raised her head to look at him for a while, and then said in a heavily accented tone: "Nah, you know (you know), Niaimi ( Our) bald butter sells (only) [-] copies a day, and it is sold out during lunch, and now for dinner, Numi (where) still has it, or eat big noodles."

Xiao Xingchen apparently didn't understand what she said at first, but after a moment of understanding, he realized what she meant by saying that the bald butter noodles were gone.

Xia Xun looked at him standing there, and thought it was too cute, so he couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Xingchen raised his eyebrows, and said half-truth, "You also bully me for not being able to understand the dialect?"

Xia Xunzhi smiled, and said to him, "Because it's so rare for you to be at a loss."

He still wanted to say something to Xiao Xingchen, but the proprietress behind the counter was not happy: "What are you going to eat, ah, think about it, Niaimi will close at 07:30."

Had it been another time, Xia Xun would have left long ago if he had encountered such a bad attitude, but today he was in a good mood, so the proprietress urged him, and he quickly ordered two bowls of double-topped shrimp noodles.

When the noodles came up, the large rows were placed on top of the thin noodles, while the shrimps were served separately in small plates.

"Crab roe is very fishy when it's cold, and it's not delicious at all. This shop is also doing business with acquaintances. It's normal if this spot is not sold. If you said you want to eat, I can make an appointment earlier." Xia Xun said, while He took a piece of steaming fried shrimp and put it in his mouth to taste it. He felt that the taste was not bad, so he helped Xiao Xingchen pour his plate of shrimp on the surface.

While they were eating noodles in the gloomy noodle shop, they talked about Xue Zhe's plan to send Xia Xun to the Xigang factory again, and Xiao Xingchen was obviously very happy to hear that.

When the customers were almost gone, Xia Xun settled the bill and walked out of the shop with Xiao Xingchen.

The layout of the small town on Xue Zhe's side is not much different from that on Xia Youlan's side, and it also follows the arrangement of living by the river.

They walked to the river, the moonlight was excellent that night, the autumn air was crisp, and the moonlight was scattered on the water. Before eight o'clock, there were almost no people on the street. Only the lights in the house showed that there were people inside. in activity.

"I suddenly felt that you really like that kind of old feeling?" Stepping on the bluestone road, the uneven traces of time could be felt on the soles of his feet, and Xia Xun remembered the first time Xiao Xingchen invited him to dinner. Yuan Ding vegetarian food, and the Kunqu opera that I have heard.

"Why do you think so?" Xiao Xingchen asked him.

"It's just a feeling. I found that you seem to be very fond of traditional culture, such as eating. I can feel that you are actually very interested in decorating classical Chinese restaurants, and I found that you like simple taste. As for taste, I'm afraid you have been accommodating me." Xia Xun replied.

"It can't be said to be accommodating. I didn't bother to pay attention to these things when I was alone before, but after being with you, I always feel that I want to try something new, so that life will make life more meaningful." Xiao Xingchen explained frankly.

Xia Xun couldn't help but stop. At this time, he wanted to hug him tightly no matter what. He thought so and did the same.

Buried in each other's necks, feeling the warmth from each other, Xia Xun only had one thought in his mind, he closed his eyes and whispered in Xiao Xingchen's ear, "Can we not separate?"

"Why did we separate?" Xiao Xingchen's eyes were clear, and he reached out to stroke the hair on the back of Xia Xun's head.

Xia Xun was silent, really unable to think of an answer.

After hugging quietly for a while, the two reluctantly parted, and then walked back to Xue Zhe's house together. Xia Xun asked Xiao Xingchen to go back to the car and wait for him, and he went into the room to tell Xue Zhe and left.

Xue Lian stayed at Xue Zhe for dinner, and Xia Xun hadn't left when he returned. When Xia Xun said goodbye to Xue Zhe, Xue Zhe said that he would not send him out when he was tired. Xia Xun said it was okay, but he still had To carry his luggage, Xue Lian felt that he was too healthy to carry heavy objects, so he insisted on helping him carry his luggage to the car.

When the two walked to the side of the car, Xue Lian obviously noticed Xiao Xingchen sitting in the passenger seat.

Xiao Xingchen naturally saw Xue Lian, so out of politeness, he got out of the car and greeted Xue Lian.

Xia Xun didn't expect Xue Lian to insist on helping him with his luggage at first, so after Xiao Xingchen met Xue Lian face to face, he felt a little flustered. After all, Xue Lian was not Bai Shaoyu, and he didn't know much about him. Not ready yet, let Xue Lian know about his relationship with Xiao Xingchen.What's more, in the hospital at that time, Xue Lian answered the call from Xiao Xingchen, who had noted his wife on his mobile phone. He looked calm on the surface, but Xia Xun couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

"This is the cousin Xue Lian I mentioned." Xia Xun hurriedly introduced them.

Then he said to Xue Lian, "This is my friend, his name is Xiao Xingchen."

"Since I brought my friends here, why don't you invite me to sit at home." Xue Lian still spoke in his usual tone, as if he didn't notice anything.

"I wanted to take a walk around, so I didn't come to visit." Xiao Xingchen quickly explained.

Xia Xun might have some thoughts on Xue Lian's mind, so he said, "Brother Lian, I'm leaving first, and I'll look for you later."

Xue Lian nodded, told Xia Xun to be careful on the road, and then watched them drive away.

Xia Xun saw from the rearview mirror that Xue Lian had been standing at the door for a while before returning to the house, and suddenly various thoughts rushed into his mind.

"What's the matter, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Xia Xun was silent, Xiao Xingchen asked him.

"It's nothing. By the way, since you decided to go to Cambodia together, how will you deal with your work?" Xia Xun couldn't avoid Xiao Xingchen's suspicion, so he had to change the subject.

"As long as you are sure that there is no mistake, I will resign in advance first, and make sure that the work is handed over properly." Xiao Xingchen said.

"Do you think your dean will hate me for poaching their business backbone?" Xia Xun suddenly felt a little sorry for the professor.

"I don't know." Xiao Xingchen put his hands on the car window, turned his head to look out of the car, "Maybe I'll be a little disappointed."

"Sorry for embarrassing you." Xia Xun said.

"Don't say such things, it's always been my wish to go outside to provide medical assistance." Xiao Xingchen said.

"Then I'll go with you." Xia Xun said while reaching out his right hand to hold Xiao Xingchen's left hand.

The other party turned around, put the other hand up, and said, "Okay."

Two weeks later, Xia Xun received an appointment notice from Liman Group as the general manager of the Westport factory.The Ministry of Manpower also made some adjustments to the organizational structure of Sihanoukville, and dispatched a capable and experienced deputy general manager to assist Xia Xun in handling factory affairs.

The chief financial officer and director of factory affairs at Sihanoukville were also replaced, and they were all replaced by people handpicked by Xue Zhe.

When all the dust settled, Xia Xun accompanied Xiao Xingchen to the hospital to resign.

Xiao Xingchen first told the director of his department about this matter, the director was very embarrassed, and repeatedly asked him to stay, saying that he was the backbone of the department, and finally asked the dean for instructions, and finally the dean came out personally and asked Xiao Xingchen to go to his office for a chat Talk to make a decision.

When Xiao Xingchen said that he didn't have a high school job, he wanted to go to a higher-level hospital, and decided to go to Cambodia as an independent doctor to provide medical assistance, the director seemed even more surprised.

The dean even reminded Xiao Xingchen to separate ideals from reality, but in the end, seeing that Xiao Xingchen had made up his mind to go, he had to agree.

When Xiao Xingchen walked out of the hospital gate, Xia Xun hurried up to meet him.

When they both got into the car, Xiao Xingchen said, "I'm officially unemployed today."

Xia Xun saw the reluctance on his face, and quickly comforted him: "Anxin, the general manager's income seems to be decent, it should be enough for the two of us to eat."

"Pfft." Xiao Xingchen was really amused.

When Xia Xun looked at him again, he felt that his mood had probably improved a lot.

A month later, Xia Xun and Xiao Xingchen finally returned to the Xigang factory together. Xue Lian had already done some clean-up work and basically straightened out the factory's personnel relations, so Xia Xun's work went quite smoothly.

Regarding the matter of the affiliated hospital, Xia Xun followed Xiao Xingchen's wishes and gave him the title of dean, but the administrative matters were handed over to two divisional vice presidents.

The two of them discussed the future concept of the hospital, and it happened to coincide with Xiao Xingchen's birthday, so Xia Xun gave himself and Dr. Xiao a two-day vacation, and took him to Siem Reap on the weekend, planning to see Angkor Wat.

When the two of them stepped into the ancient ruined but extremely magnificent ancient temples at sunset, Xiao Xingchen's astonished expression told Xia Xun that he was indeed fascinated by such ancient and mysterious things.

When leaving, Xiao Xingchen said to Xia Xun: "Thank you for giving me an unforgettable birthday."

Xia Xun blinked: "Every birthday in the future will make you more memorable."

When the two of them returned to the hotel and were about to continue enjoying the next romantic night, Xia Xun suddenly received a call from the factory. The newly appointed chief financial officer was very cautious and had to report even small matters to the general manager. Xia Xun Although I think this is good on weekdays, I am really uncomfortable when I receive a call in this situation tonight.

So Xiao Xingchen smiled and said that he would wait for him in the round bathtub first.

Xia Xun stayed in the bedroom and listened to his subordinates chattering a little irritably.

After hanging up the phone, the battery had turned red, and Xia Xun was about to plug his phone into the socket to charge it.

And Xiao Xingchen's phone was charging there because it was out of battery, they only brought a power cord when they came out, so Xia Xun reached out and pulled out his phone, put it aside, and connected his own phone to it.

After he had done all this, when he was about to leave, Xiao Xingchen's phone screen lit up. He was probably afraid of being disturbed later, so he turned it on silently without vibration.

When the name "Su Ling" popped out suddenly, Xia Xun still saw it.

He read a name in his mind, and felt that it seemed a little familiar, but he searched in his mind, but couldn't find the corresponding face.
