"Don't pick me up today." Before going out, Tokia looked at Gui Zipei who was still asleep and said, this man rubbed his pajamas and was lazily curled up on the sofa.

Gui Zipei woke up instantly after hearing this, and Gulu sat up straight: "Why?"

"Retreat." Shixia tied up her scarf and said unhurriedly, "I'll be back later today. There are vegetables in the refrigerator. If you're hungry, use the microwave to heat it up."

"I feel pretty good, and I don't feel dizzy at all!"

"It's not up to you to decide." Shi Xia ignored her, and had already grabbed the doorknob.

Gui Zipei pouted: "Then why are you going at night, why are you late?"

Shi Xia didn't seem to hear what she said, and pushed the door open: "I'll go first."

"Come back early!" However, the only response to her was the ruthless voice of the security door closing, and Gui Zipei's expression gradually turned cold. She didn't like this feeling, and Shixia clearly had something to hide from her.

After nine o'clock, when Shixia hadn't come back, Gui Zipei began to fidget. She frequently looked at the wall clock on the wall, and finally couldn't help but turn on her phone.

"A-Xia, when are you coming back?" Gui Zipei heard lively voices at the other end, who is A-Xia eating with?Her eyes became darker, but she hid her emotions well with her coquettish voice.

"Hungry? Isn't there food in the refrigerator?"

Gui Zipei curled her lips: "The microwave oven is broken." It's okay, she can change another one for Axia, and then she said, "Actually, I can also order takeaway, I just want to ask when you will come back, it's past nine o'clock ..."

Shixia was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Stop ordering takeout, it's not clean." She gave an address, "Come by taxi, I'll wait for you."

"Okay." Gui Zipei replied very seriously, she understood that in fact all she could rely on was Shi Xia's words "I'll wait for you".

When Gui Zipei was paying, she heard the driver mutter "such a remote place". She got out of the car, and there was a deep alley in front of her, but because of the dim light at the end, it didn't look gloomy.She didn't understand why Shixia asked her to come here, following the light, she walked in, the closer she got, the more she could smell the fragrance in the air, it was as warm as the light.

At the end was a small noodle shop, Gui Zipei opened the door and walked in, and saw Shixia sitting at the door.

"Come here?"

"Ah."

Shixia reached out and clicked on the menu hanging on the wall, and said, "What do you want to eat?" Gui Zipei looked over, and the plastic signboard with red background and white characters had been smoked greasy, and what was written on it were all Some of the most common collocations.

Gui Zipei didn't know what to say, she looked around, the store was no longer as lively as it sounded when she called Shixia, only a student-like boy was sitting not far away, breathing bitterly. Noodles, it should be supper after evening self-study.

"I want three fresh noodles." She said, and then asked tentatively, "Is this delicious?"

Tokia smiled and didn't answer, stood up and walked to the kitchen at the back, bent down and said something to the person by the window before sitting back.Seeing the helplessness on Gui Zipei's face, she understood in her heart that she hadn't thought of anything.

"Why is the microwave oven broken?" Tokia pulled out a pair of chopsticks and rinsed them carefully with the hot water on the table.

"I don't know." Gui Zipei put on a blank face, "It just keeps flashing."

Tokia frowned, but said nothing, Gui Zipei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and Gui Zipei was dizzy from the cozy air in this small shop, and she didn't want to bother to find a topic, which was pretty good, she thought, just staying by Axia's side , It’s also good not to speak.

The boy behind finally finished his noodles, and silently took out the earphones and stuffed them into his ears. Judging from the shape of his squirming mouth, Gui Zipei thought he was reciting words. She vaguely remembered a night in high school , also in a noodle restaurant, she ordered a bowl of Sanxian noodles, and Axia was reciting vocabulary.

"San Xian Noodles!" A loud but slightly hoarse yell floated from the back kitchen to their table. Shi Xia looked at the noodle bowl in front of Gui Zipei, raised his head and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

"You're welcome!" This thin old man has a kind face, and now he can't stop laughing at the two of them, "It's the first time I brought friends here when I was young."

Gui Zipei could hear the accent of City Y in the old man's words. Looking at that face, she felt inexplicably familiar. Many fragments of the past flashed back in her mind, but she couldn't grasp it at all.

"It's not the first time." Shi Xia glanced at her, but said nothing.

This moment seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and Gui Zipei exclaimed in surprise: "Is this the family outside our high school?"

"The kid is also from City Y?" Uncle Liu carefully identified Gui Zipei's face, and suddenly realized, "I remembered, you are the girl who often came to eat noodles with Xiao."

"Yes, yes!" Gui Zipei couldn't help but nod her head, now she finally understood where the sense of familiarity came from when she saw the door.

Seeing her excited eyes, Shixia ordered her bowl helplessly: "Eat quickly, the noodles will be lumpy."

"Why does Teacher Tang dictate words at night!" Shixia wailed while covering her face. It was the break time before evening self-study, and she was walking outside the school gate with Gui Zipei.

"Didn't you assign the task yesterday?"

Shixia was confident: "Then I thought she would be able to dictate tomorrow morning, and she would have time to memorize it tonight." Then she scratched her head irritably, "Who would have thought of a surprise attack? Fortunately, I don't have to work now, otherwise I would have to Ask for leave." In the second semester of the second year of high school, no matter what she said, Lao Xu just didn't want to guarantee her, so the privilege of exempting late self-study would naturally disappear.

Gui Zipei was half worried and half gloating: "Then what do you do?"

Shi Xia chuckled, and took out a booklet in the pocket of the sweater: "I found a vocabulary book of hers from Cheng Yunqi's place, and when I eat later, I can just write it down in shorthand."

When Gui Zipei heard Cheng Yunqi's name, her expression was unnatural for a while, and she asked as calmly as possible, "Why didn't you borrow it from me?"

"When Teacher Tang said it, she happened to be next to me, so I confiscated it." Shixia didn't notice anything wrong, and didn't feel ashamed at all, "Anyway, she must have memorized it long ago."

"Oh." Gui Zipei's voice was muffled, and she glanced at Shixia beside her who was carelessly greeting others from the corner of her eye, bit her lower lip angrily, and suddenly felt that all her entanglements had been fed to the dog.

"Why do you eat three delicacies again?" Shixia looked at the bowl of clear soup and little water in front of Gui Zipei speechlessly, and frantically added vinegar to his spicy noodles.

Gui Zipei frowned in disgust: "Why is your taste getting stronger?"

"What?" Shixia had already opened the vocabulary book, and missed Gui Zipei's words without paying attention.

"It's nothing." Gui Zipei pursed his lips, "Hurry up and read."

In a small shop, it was crowded with students who came out for dinner, and there were wanton laughter and loud conversations everywhere. Gui Zipei looked at the person opposite, and suddenly thought, if time could stop at this Seconds should be so good, they will always be young and pure.

"It was you who always ordered delicacies back then." Uncle Liu suddenly slapped his head and said, "I just remember that there was such a girl, and I always ordered this when I was young. I thought it was her."

"Really?" Gui Zipei looked at Tokia, but saw that she didn't have any special reaction, as if it was just because of a change of taste, she suddenly felt that the food in her mouth was tasteless.

"Boss, pay the bill!" The boy put away his earphones and shouted to this side.

"Here we come." Uncle Liu turned his head and said to them, "Eat slowly."

"Why did this store open in City B?" Gui Zipei asked while biting her chopsticks. It was all she could imagine to encounter the smell of the old days in a small alley in a foreign land, let alone the old people around her. Yes, about the limit of beauty.

"Uncle Liu's child is working in Beijing." Shixia explained the reason in one sentence. She understood how touched Gui Zipei was at this time. After all, when Du Siyuan mysteriously brought her into this store, how could she have felt that way? It's not that I want to sink into old dreams.

Gui Zipei swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said, "Then why didn't you just tell me that you came to eat noodles? I thought..."

Tokia almost wondered if she was asking knowingly, what should I say?This store itself is a proof that she still can't let it go, and it's hidden to give herself some self-esteem, but then she thought, forget it, since the returnee Peifei wants to have a foot in her life, Come on then, she goes with the flow.

The next day, Xia Xia had to rush for an operation, and it was late at night when she got home, and she couldn't see the light from the window from downstairs. Gui Zipei should have fallen asleep, and she tried to keep her movements as light as possible. The sound still pierced the silent night, she quickly closed the door, the guest room was quiet, fortunately.

Shixia turned on the light in the living room, and got rid of her burdens one by one. Today, this patient has a special condition and a special status. She has studied foreign cases for a long time before deciding on a plan. The only thing that comforts her is What's more, the result of the operation was very good, and she didn't look forward to the many actions and awards from the hospital in the future.

"A-Xia?" Gui Zipei's sleepy voice came from behind, soft and soft, but it startled the fugue-wandering people.

"Scared me to death." I don't know if he was afraid of disturbing someone, Tokia also lowered his voice, "Why don't you go to sleep?"

"I'm waiting for you." Gui Zipei patted the sofa, "It's quite comfortable here anyway."

"It's late, go to bed." Shixia saw that she was still awake, and coaxed her gently.

"Oh."

Gui Zipei rubbed her eyes and staggered towards the guest room. This action gave her a little childishness, making her look like the little girl from many years ago.Shi Xia's eyes followed her, afraid that she would hit the wall.

She herself was not in a hurry to sleep, she walked to the sofa and spread herself out. As a doctor, every day is stressful, and she is not a person who releases herself. The only way to relieve stress is to relax at night For herself, there was still a bit of Gui Zipei's body temperature on the sofa, which made her feel warm.When she struggled out of her negative emotions, she found that the distant bells were echoing in the night.

When Shixia stood up and was about to wash up and go to bed, he suddenly found a few colorful books spread out on the coffee table that was still clean when he left in the morning.

"Recipe?" Shi Xia bent down and turned a page. She was sure that she didn't have this kind of thing at home, and the only possibility was that Gui Zipei bought it from the bookstore in the community.

The few pages I opened were all noodles without exception, especially the recipe of Sanxian noodles, which was marked with a highlighter, with a serious attitude like a high school student taking notes.

Shixia closed her sore and swollen eyes, and then put together those cookbooks. She sighed in her heart, why bother?
