warm hearts

Gao Xu was actually quite surprised when he received the WeChat message from Ji Xiaomin, because in his impression, Ji Xiaomin seldom sent him a WeChat message 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 Xiaomin looks calm, he is actually very obtrusive. His replies may be short, but they always hit the point, which makes people laugh; therefore, most of the messages between him and Ji Xiaomin are the ones he sent to Ji Xiaomin. A voice or a short video, followed by one or two accurate comments from Ji Xiaomin, and Ji Xiaomin'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 Xiaomin's name flashing on the screen, stretched out his hand and swiped it away, and a line of words followed behind the picture of a bad selfie: [What are you doing? 】

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

Over there, Ji Xiaomin quickly picked up the phone, but he 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, what do I have 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 Xiaomin'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 in the traffic jam 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 Xiaomin was explaining something to the two people 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 Xiaomin, he suddenly felt relieved, 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? People are working for nothing?"

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 is 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 then he went to Japan Day after day, he honestly came to visit the store, and he himself was gradually getting more at ease as he attached 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 Xiaomin, seeing that he was always subconsciously licking his lips when he was speaking, so he walked around to 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 Xiaomin explain to others like Bai Sen.As soon as Bai Sen left, he walked over, first handed mineral water to Ji Xiaomin and the guests, and then naturally took over the conversation.

After chatting for a few words, he knew that Ji Xiaomin 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 might be involved afterwards, and led the two People go 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 Xiaomin and said, "You're hungry, let's go eat."

With water in his mouth, Ji Xiaomin nodded slowly, 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 Xiaomin 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 chatted about the sidecar, and Ji Xiaomin seemed to be a little emotional: "The times are really different, that car can't be used on the road, and the license plate is four or five times more expensive than buying a car, just buy it like that and put it at home. Are you playing?"

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

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiaomin 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 Xiaomin suddenly laughed, feeling a little dazed.

"Didn't you be drafting at that time? Still thinking about it?" Ji Xiaomin 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 , 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 hand and muttered: "Fuck!" One sentence: "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.After a long time, he sat up straight again and spoke seriously, and he was able to answer Ji Xiaomin's previous question: "Think about it, it doesn't cost money, ten or eight is not much, one or two is not much - when I was young, everything No, the only plump thing is probably the ideal."

One sentence made Ji Xiaomin feel emotional, 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 emotions, 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 Xiaomin 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 Xiaomin 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 Xiaomin'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 is smooth, and it is not yet ten o'clock to arrive at the underground garage of Ji Xiaomin's residence.Gao Xu parked the car and unlocked it as usual, then stretched his body and stretched a lot, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Ji Xiaomin did not get out of the car, but instead took out a trolley folder from his carry-on bag and handed it over.

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

Ji Xiaomin originally wanted to ask him to take it home and read it slowly, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words.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 Xiaomin 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 gaze that 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 Xiaomin 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 so 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 Xiaomin was not annoyed at all, and turned his head to look at him: "Then what should I say, Fang Bener writes my name?"

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