The house is money, the story is life

"Let me introduce, this is Yao Qianhong, my previous typist, who is your senior."

On the bus, Xia Shi introduced this to Zhou Tang who was sitting beside him. After speaking, he took out the book "The Secret Service's Wife" from his small backpack, opened it by himself, and stopped talking.And the "former typist" who fell from the sky was sitting side by side with Sen Luo on the other side of the carriage, and there was an aisle between Zhou Tang and Zhou Tang. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "Hello."

"Hello." Zhou Tang nodded, then turned to look at Xia Shi, waiting for him to introduce himself to the other party.Unexpectedly, Xia Shi seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter, and just looked down at the book.Zhou Tang was helpless, so he had no choice but to speak to Yao Qianhong: "It's the first time we met, I'm Zhou Tang, it's..."

"Xia Shi's incumbent, right? I understand." Yao Qianhong said with an expression of "I understand", "How long have you been with him?"

Zhou Tang's smile froze for a moment.The meaning of these words is understandable, but this expression, this tone...why does it taste weird?

"More than a year," he replied.Yao Qianhong let out an "oh", glanced lightly over Xia Shi, and said, "I remember he was over 20 when he separated from me."

"Well, yes. But then there was an accident, he was injured by a runaway undead, and he went back to his childhood." Zhou Tang whispered, leaning outward at the same time, obviously unwilling to let others hear These things violate common sense.Yao Qianhong didn't care about these things, leaned back on the chair, calm and calm, and said in the usual tone: "That's a pity. Xia Shi looks cautious, but he is actually quite careless in his actions. You should watch him more."

After a pause, he laughed again: "In this way, it is more than ten years older in one year? Well, this progress is a bit slow, but it's okay, we can't let him grow up too fast, this kid will grow up too fast. It's easy to mess around."

"Hmm... is that so?"

"Of course, don't you feel it?"

I don't tell you if I feel it.

"That's right." Yao Qianhong thought for a while, and then continued the conversation, "After all, he is still young. You will realize it when he grows up."

Zhou Tang reluctantly hooked the corners of his lips, decided to hide his empathy from him, and instead sat upright in silence, hoping that this obvious refusal could bring this topic to an end—it’s not that he said, this feeling really It's so weird, it's almost like talking to your girlfriend's ex.What's worse, this ex didn't know how to avoid suspicion, what does it mean to always sound like someone who has been there?

Zhou Tang felt uncomfortable.He was a little troubled.

Seeing him like this, Yao Qianhong really stopped talking, and the two sat on their chairs, calm for a while.Sen Luo, who was forgotten by the side, couldn't sit still anymore, and began to pull Yao Qianhong to talk, and passed him to bother Zhou Tang and Xia Shi without saying a few words.Zhou Tang responded one after another, and put on the earphones for Xia Shi spontaneously, secretly thankful that there is still an aisle between him and Sen Luo, but before he could finish his congratulations, the car suddenly stopped , a large group of old people squeezed into the car, gray-haired and murderous.

"This car can go to the seafood market, probably to buy vegetables." Yao Qianhong said with a smile, and politely got up to give up his seat.Seeing him like this, Sen Luo also hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat to an old man nearby—although the old man had a ruddy complexion and looked healthier than him.

In this way, both of them stood next to Zhou Tang. Zhou Tang couldn't avoid it, and he couldn't even pretend to be dead. Under the gaze of the two, he turned on his mobile phone to watch the news uncomfortably, and suddenly heard Sen Luo saying: : "Hey, is that the one you read "The Concubine Secret Service"? Why is it different from mine?"

Xia Shi wore headphones and turned a deaf ear, Zhou Tang glanced at the cover, and replied: "The version is different. Xia Shi's series are all in traditional Chinese."

"I remember that the traditional Chinese version is much more expensive than the simplified version." Sen Luo stuck out his tongue, it seems that he is really a fan of this series of books, "I don't understand you rich and powerful cultural people, is the traditional version better?"

"...Probably." Zhou Tang replied uncertainly.When buying books in Xiashi, he always chose vertical layout but not horizontal ones, and traditional Chinese instead of simplified ones when he could buy books. He didn't ask why, but he bought them for Xiashi if he wanted them, and it was the same for these few books.He figured it was probably due to habit, but he heard Yao Qianhong say: "Xia Shi can't read simplified characters, he will feel dizzy and have indigestion when he reads simplified characters."

"Wow, there's something like this." Sen Luo was speechless, "Isn't that hard work!"

"Yeah, usually reading is very limited, and it's inconvenient to eat. I remember that in order to let him eat better, I forced myself to type with traditional Chinese input methods. At first, it gave me a headache. Typos made me feel uncomfortable. Can't tell." Yao Qianhong said, turning to Zhou Tang, "But it's fine if you get used to it, right?"

Zhou Tang, who has never wavered in simplicity: "..."

Sighing, Xia Shi took off his earphones, looked up and said, "Thanks to you, I don't feel dizzy anymore. I can read Simplified Chinese very comfortably now, so don't worry about it."

"Is that so?" Yao Qianhong looked at him with a funny face, Xia Shi nodded without changing his face, and put the book together and stuffed it into Zhou Tang's arms: "I will buy this just because I want the signature that comes with the traditional Chinese version Bookmarks and postcards, nothing else."

"That's good." Yao Qianhong frowned, and stopped talking after saying this.Sen Luo was excited: "The traditional Chinese version also has a signed bookmark! It's real!"

"Of course it's true, but it's out of stock." Xia Shi's face was calm, but there was a hint of showing off in his tone, "If you were reborn again, you might still be able to snatch it up. Now, probably only It can be bought with more money.”

"Ah, forget it then." Sen Luo did some calculations, then lowered his shoulders discouragedly, "I'd better recite the lottery numbers first."

"Come on, you." Xia Shi said, put on the earphones again, and raised his eyes inadvertently, just in time to catch the thoughtful look on Yao Qianhong's face, "What's the matter?"

Yao Qianhong smiled and said: "It's nothing, it just seems to have heard some great words. Rebirth? It seems very interesting."

"Is it interesting?" Xia Shi stared at him for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze, "I almost forgot, you liked this kind of stuff before. How about this, have you collected any real-life materials recently? Send your materials to Me, I'll trade this story for you."

Zhou Tang: "..."

Is this... playing wild food?In front of him?

Yao Qianhong shook his head: "I haven't written for a long time. I closed my pen after I separated from you, and I didn't collect materials like before. I'm really sorry."

"Forget it." Xia Shi also shook his head, "I really don't want to write it? Tsk, unfortunately, I quite like your suspense novels."

Yao Qianhong smiled, and replied "Thank you for the compliment"; Zhou Tang's heart sank when he heard it - although he didn't want to admit it, he used to be considered a suspense writer.

It's still the kind that Xia Shi has never praised... When we first met, there were a lot of complaints and criticisms, and he was hit so hard that he wanted to write an NP meat newspaper...

The corner of Zhou Tang's mouth twitched, and he began to struggle again.

Just at this time, the bus arrived at the stop, and several people squeezed into the crowd and got off the bus, crossed another road, and arrived at the legendary "Old Man Street".After Yao Qianhong greeted several people, he left on his own, while Sen Luo enthusiastically dragged the two of them to the antique shop where he bought the Luoyang shovel earlier.Xia Shi didn't bother to pay attention to him, he just stared blankly at Yao Qianhong's leaving back, saw that he had gone far, hurriedly tugged on Zhou Tang's sleeve, and ordered: "Follow."

"What?" Zhou Tang was confused.

"Follow up." Xia Shi repeated, "He has something to do with Sen Luo's rebirth."

Zhou Tang was surprised, and Sen Luo also had a face of confusion: "How do you know?"

"I just know." Xia Shi's tone was affirmative, "Don't ask so many questions, just catch up first... Tsk, don't look at me like that, this guy has raised me for three years, I can tell what he's thinking when he frowns. "

The corners of Zhou Tang's mouth twitched, he looked from a distance, and said, "Although that's the case... Actually, there's no need to chase after him."

Xia Shi is short, and there are many people in the old street. No matter how much he jumps around, he can no longer see Yao Qianhong's back. He feels very frustrated, and he is even more displeased to hear Zhou Tang say this: "You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's really that there is no need to chase." Sen Luo had already seen it at this moment, and he picked up Xia Shi by his armpit, motioning him to look into the distance: "Look, there is no need to chase." .He's right there."

Looking in the direction he indicated, he saw Yao Qianhong bending over and looking at his pocket watch at a booth.

The stall was covered in dark gold and was full of cheap copper pocket watches. Behind it was an outdated watch shop.A weather-beaten store signboard is hanging on the top of the store door, with four large characters written on it, "Like a watch store".
