warm hearts

Gao Xu was actually a little surprised when he received the WeChat message from Ji Xiao, because in his impression, Ji Xiao rarely sent him WeChat messages on his own initiative.It's not that he has a cold personality and doesn't want to get close to others, it's just that his mentality and lifestyle make him arrange his every day to be relatively fulfilling. Even if he really feels bored occasionally, he can digest it peacefully, and he won't be bored when he is idle. Look around for someone to chat with.

Of course, Gao Xu himself is not such a person, but he is willing to share with others what he hears and sees in real time.In particular, although Ji Xiao looks calm, he is actually very obtrusive. The replies may be short, but they always hit the point. A piece of Xiao Xiao's voice or a short video, followed by Ji Xiao's precise comment or two, and Ji Xiao's active greetings like today are really rare.

At that time, Gao Xu had just finished the work in his hand, and was squatting on the steps outside the operation room of the 4S shop with a cigarette in his mouth, slowing down.As soon as the phone rang, he saw Ji Xiao's name flashing on the screen, stretched out his hand to swipe away, and the selfie was not very good, followed by a line of words: [What are you doing? 】

Gao Xu laughed out of nowhere, and didn't know if he wanted to complain about his selfie or thought of something else, and he didn't bother to type, so he lazily sent a voice message back: "Did you miss me?" Before waiting for Ji Xiao's reply for a while, he raised his hand to check the time and knew that he was off work, so he simply played a voice over.

Ji Xiao picked it up quickly, but just said hastily: "I'm in the car dealership, I'll help Bai Sen if there are too many people." Then he hung up.

Gao Xu scratched his head, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then got up and stretched his waist, walked into the operating room, raised his voice and asked a tall man inside as he walked: "Brother Yue, I have a job to do at hand. It's over, is there anything else to do today? No, I want to leave early."

From the north of the city to the west of the city, according to Ji Xiao's calculation, it took about four to ten minutes by car, but when Gao Xu left, it was just in time for the last half hour of the evening rush hour, so he was stuck on the elevated highway for an extra twenty to ten minutes.It was just after 10:10 when he arrived at the car dealership, Gao Xu parked the car and hurried inside, not knowing what he was in a hurry for.

In the car dealership, Bai Sen was still sitting at the front desk " " typing on the keyboard, while Ji Xiao was explaining something to the two of them while demonstrating next to a new black sidecar in the innermost part of the exhibition area.When Gao Xu entered the door and saw Ji Xiao, he suddenly felt at ease, but when he saw Bai Sen in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but "tsk", walked past the counter and fished Bai Sen's head: "What are you doing? Do you treat people like vain workers?"

Bai Sen saw all directions and was agile. When Gao Xu stretched out his hand, he tilted his head slightly and avoided the attack. He turned his head and rolled his eyes almost to the sky: "Why? Distressed? I value sex over friends!"

"Respect your size!" Gao Xu made another gesture to hit you.

But Bai Sen raised his hand first and stopped his movements: "Is it my fault? Can this be my fault? What kind of car did you get in? Do you have any information? Did you give it to me? I was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze My modern young master, I have only seen that thing in anti-Japanese war movies since I was a child, so it would be nice to know that it is commonly known as a three-sided, and explain it to others? You really flatter me!"

After finishing speaking, seeing Gao Xu stopped talking, Bai Sen tilted his head and gave him a glance, and smiled with a smile on the corner of the eye where the mole was born: "But I said, it's really good to be back today." morning~"

"It's rare, there's not much work." Gao Xu's goosebumps arose from his laughter, and he took two steps back with his arms folded, but he didn't really want to pick him up, "Okay, you have to go first, later I'm closing the door—you have a copy of all the new car information in your mailbox, and you can check the NBA regular season when you have time, and occasionally take a look, master?"

"Ah? When did you send it?" Bai Sen said as he opened the mailbox—he was a rich man, but since he opened this car dealership with Gao Xu, he just dragged his parents to invest money in the beginning, and later He visits the store honestly day after day, and he himself is gradually getting more at ease as he attaches great importance to this business.

"The day before yesterday? Or yesterday?" Gao Xu thought about it carefully, "I sent you a QQ mailbox."

"Ah, I see." Bai Sen rummaged through the mailbox for a while, and deleted almost [-] advertising emails. "Next time, I will directly send WeChat messages. There is too much junk in this mailbox."

"Okay." Gao Xu readily agreed, and then turned his head to look at Ji Xiao, seeing that he was always subconsciously licking his lips between speeches, so he walked around the counter and took out a few bottles of mineral water.

Bai Sen watched his movements, with the corners of his mouth curled up inadvertently, hastily packed up his backpack and carried it on his back, and before leaving, he said: "Then I'll go first—don't just pass the water, Teacher Ji hasn't finished yet. Let's eat."

Naturally, Gao Xu couldn't just watch Ji Xiao explaining to others like Bai Sen.As soon as Bai Sen left, he walked over, first handed mineral water to Ji Xiao and the guests, and then took up the conversation naturally.

After chatting for a few words, he knew that Ji Xiao had basically settled the deal for him, so he explained to the customer in detail how to pay and pick up the car, as well as the after-sales service that may be involved afterwards, and then led the The two went to the counter to sign the bill and pay the deposit.

It was almost 09:30 when everything was finished, Gao Xu sent the guests out of the door, without even taking a breath, he immediately turned back to Ji Xiao and said, "You're hungry, let's go eat."

With water in his mouth, Ji Xiao nodded slowly when he heard the words, then waited for him to close the store door, and crossed the street together to a noodle restaurant that both of them liked very much.

Noodles are a local specialty. There are only two taels of noodles in a bowl of noodles, but there are as few as three or five kinds of toppings, and as many as seven or eight kinds. If you call a bowl of family portraits, there are a total of twenty kinds of toppings.

Ji Xiao is thin and doesn't eat much, while Gao Xu controls his diet because he wants to maintain his figure, so the two of them ordered a bowl of family portrait, and took an extra empty bowl to share the food.

During the meal, the two talked about the sidecar, and Ji Xiao seemed to be a little emotional: "The times are really different, and that car can't be used on the road, and the license plate is four or five times more expensive than buying a car, so just buy it and put it at home. Are you looking to play?"

"Collection." Gao Xu didn't take it seriously, "I used to think when I was a child, when the car dealership becomes a large-scale, I will also open a motorcycle exhibition hall, let alone 100 years, and I will greet you in the circle. , at least the cars of the past 30 years can make up a large difference."

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiao really thought about it carefully in his mind, and finally came to a feasible conclusion and suddenly thought of a question: "When were you young? How old are you?"

"Seventeen or eighteen." Gao Xu said the answer without thinking, but after he finished speaking, he found that Ji Xiao suddenly laughed, feeling a little dazed.

"Didn't you be drafting at that time? Still thinking about it?" Ji Xiao saw his expression, originally wanted to control his smile, but once the picture appeared in his mind, he couldn't get rid of it, instead he couldn't stop laughing When I got down, I had to explain while laughing, "A few days ago, Wang Ke showed me the video of your talent show..." Before he finished speaking, Gao Xu covered his face with his hands and muttered: "Fuck!" Said: "Very cute~"

However, Gao Xu didn't calm down immediately because of this "very cute", but still covered his face with the back of his hands, and his broad body curled up against the wall, which had a strong contrast of cuteness.It took him a long time to sit up straight again and speak seriously, and he was able to answer Ji Xiao's previous question: "Think about it, it doesn't cost money, ten or eight is not much, one or two is not much—what did you do when you were young?" There is nothing, the only plump thing is probably the ideal."

One sentence made Ji Xiao feel emotional. After he finished the last mouthful of noodles in the bowl, the smile on his face faded, and he lit a cigarette with the fire handed by Gao Xu.He remembered that when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he used to squat in front of the motorcycle of his neighbor's eldest brother, dreaming that one day he would be able to roam the world in the direction of the setting sun on the Tongtian Avenue, one person and one car.

Later, he really owned his own car, but he seemed to be stuck in his footsteps. Whether it was a dream or a longing, he never mentioned it for more than ten years.He began to lament that he was getting old more and more frequently, but was he really getting old?

Maybe not.

The effort of a cigarette is enough to make people feel full of emotion, but it doesn't take that long to cross the road from the noodle shop to the car to Gaoxu.The two quietly finished their cigarettes by leaning against the car door, watching the sporadic passing vehicles and pedestrians around them, they didn't speak a word, but they didn't feel embarrassed.

There is mostly no wind at night in this season, and the smell of cigarettes lingers in the humid air for a long time, so Ji Xiao waved his hand before opening the door to get in the car.Gao Xu got into the car one step ahead, and he had already turned on the air conditioner, and the cool breeze rushed in, finally driving away the heat of the summer night.

Ji Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, found a comfortable position in the chair, propped his chin with one hand, and continued to look out of the glass window at the strange lights under the night light.

Gao Xu didn't make a sound, just started the engine and drove towards Ji Xiao's house along the familiar route.

There was no talking all the way, maybe because the two of them were not particularly talkative people at first, but each of them talked a lot throughout the day; each other could see each other's tiredness, and finally there were only two of them left, so they were happy to give considerate Quiet - a rare tacit understanding.

The night road was smooth, and it was less than ten o'clock to arrive at the underground garage of Ji Xiao's residence.Gao Xu parked the car and unlocked it as usual, then stretched out his body and stretched a lot, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Ji Xiao didn't get out of the car, but took out a trolley folder from his carry-on bag and handed it over.

Gao Xu didn't understand why he took it over, and as soon as he turned the first page, Ji laughed and said: "The equipment for the modification department will take about three months to prepare according to this budget. If we start preparations now, we should be able to catch up with what Xia Yu said before." The pen list." He looked up at him suddenly, he still couldn't believe it at first, but when he saw Ji Xiao smiled and looked at him gently, he immediately became excited, lowered his head, picked up the document and read it carefully .

Ji Xiao originally wanted to ask him to take it home and read it slowly, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words again.He nestled back into the comfortable position in the chair, propped his chin with one hand, and looked at Gao Xu through the orange dome light in the carriage, watching him read the text in the document one by one with a serious face and slightly frowning, turning back and forth from time to time When I came back and compared it, I thought to myself, where is the childishness of the usual madness?

He suddenly felt more at ease in his heart, and the momentary hesitation and uncertainty when he took out this budget just now was finally completely dispelled at this moment.He felt that he should be more confident, because this is a very important plan for an adult, after repeated deliberation and deliberation, rather than a child's bloody, impulsive decision on the spur of the moment.

Ji Xiao pursed his lips subconsciously, his eyelashes and eyeballs were particularly beautiful, blinked and blinked with the ups and downs of his mood, and when he raised his eyes to look at Gao Xu, he met the eyes he had seen from the document .

"Are you serious?" Gao Xu is obviously very cautious about this matter. Although he has already held the document tightly in his hand, he still hopes to confirm it clearly with him.

Ji Xiao didn't answer, but took out another bank card from his bag and handed it over: "I don't know how your fund reserves are. I only have this much, which is exactly half of this budget. Participating in individual stocks should be enough, right?"

Gao Xu didn't reach out to pick it up, but just stared closely at his eyes, then suddenly laughed, licking the corners of his mouth and jokingly said: "I really didn't expect that it doesn't count that you are here, and you still have a dowry !"

Ji Xiao was not annoyed at all, and turned his head to look at him: "Then how do you say, does Fangben write my name?"

"That must be!" The burst of laughter of two people suddenly came from the car.
