I bought ingredients, went home to cook, and by the time the meal was served, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Qiu Min was very hungry, and everything tasted delicious, and everything was said to be delicious.

No candles, no wine, just a regular meal.Xia Zhili had an illusion in a trance, as if he and Qiu Minben were like this, going to and from get off work together, dating and watching movies when they were free, and cooking together at home, just like the most ordinary couple in the world.

In the past, Xia Zhili always held it in front of Qiu Min, always remembering that this is his boss, and he should not have any unreasonable thoughts, but now Qiu Min is having dinner with him at home, a year ago he would not even have dared to think about it. , usually at this time, Qiu Min would either have a candlelight dinner with his lover, or enjoy the joy of cloud and rain with his lover...

But now, he doesn't have a single lover left, but he eats coke chicken wings, braised pork ribs, kung pao chicken, shrimp tofu at the secretary's house... He eats with relish, his mouth is full of oil, and the domineering president Fan Er is thrown into the sky.

Xia Zhili couldn't bear to look directly at him, no matter how good-looking Qiu Min was, he couldn't be ruined like this.

After Qiu Min had a full meal, he remembered that he was chasing someone. The way he ate was really out of manners, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed. He was really hungry.He took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and Xia Zhili served him soup.

"President Qiu, I want to make an agreement with you for three chapters."

Qiu Min was sitting upright, "Say it."

Xia Zhili paused and sorted out his thoughts: "First, don't send me flowers; second, in the company, we are just superiors and subordinates, so we only talk about business; third, don't touch me in public."

Qiu Min supported his forehead and sighed: "Secretary Xia, I'm chasing you."

"But we also need to distinguish the occasion." Xia Zhili said, "Mr. Qiu shouldn't be a person with a love brain, right?"

Qiu Min doesn't know if he is in love, anyway, he thinks about it every day when he sees Secretary Xia... This must not be said, otherwise the secretary will definitely be scared away.

He reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhili looked at the time, "Have you finished eating?"

"already ate."

"Then wash up and sleep."

Qiu Min asked expectantly, "Which room do you sleep in?"

"...Of course it's the guest room."

"Can't master bedroom?"

"Then I can only sleep in the guest room."

It seems that Secretary Xia won't be able to sleep tonight, and Qiu Min is not in a hurry when he is disappointed. Compared to a few months ago, Xia Zhili's attitude has become much more relaxed. He feels that the day when the beauty is in his arms is not far away.

If you can't send flowers to the secretary, Qiu Min will send watches, ties, leather shoes, cufflinks, gems, luxury cars, luxury houses... more and more expensive.

Xia Zhili didn't want sugar daddy, so he talked with Qiu Min during the lunch break, Qiu Min was still aggrieved: "Then what do you like?"

"I like everything you gave me." Xia Zhili said, "But I can't accept it."

"why?"

"too expensive."

"Not expensive."

The two stared at each other, Xia Zhili was defeated, "President Qiu, you will make me feel psychologically burdened."

"How come?" What Qiu Min saw on the Internet was that if you like someone, you have to be willing to spend money for him. Why is Secretary Xia not happy when he spent money for Secretary Xia?

Of course Xia Zhili was not happy. Qiu Min used to be such a rich man when he pursued beautiful women. He didn't want to be treated as a woman, let alone a lover.

In Qiu Min's view, a lover is only a partner in bed, there is no resonance between emotions and souls, it is only a relationship maintained by money interests - Xia Zhili understands it too well, so he does not take Qiu Min's past lover relationship very seriously Yes, but if he were to be Qiu Min's lover, he would be terrified in his heart.

"You give me so many things now, it seems that if I don't agree to be with you, it is immoral." Xia Zhili said as tactfully as possible, "But if I agree to be with you, it seems that I have been cheated by your money." Substance moved. I guess you wouldn't want me to, would you?"

Qiu Min pondered for a moment, "Then what should I do to make you happy?"

Xia Zhili smiled: "I am very happy when you respect my opinions."

Qiu Min raised his eyebrows, as if he understood what the secretary meant.It seems that the way of chasing women doesn't work with the secretary.

——Be sincere and don’t engage in routines.

In order to express his sincerity, when Xia Zhili asked for Mid-Autumn Festival leave, Qiu Min generously granted a week off.Then when Xia Zhili packed his luggage and returned home, he followed him domineeringly.

Xia Zhili: "..."

"President Qiu, this is inappropriate." Xia Zhili was puzzled, "Why are you going back with me? Besides, I don't have a car or a house over there, so I can only live in a small hotel."

"Oh." Qiu Min nodded indifferently, "I haven't stayed in a small hotel for many years, so I just revisited it."

What is there to revisit in a small hotel?Xia Zhili couldn't stop Qiu Min from "asking for trouble", so he just let him do it.Anyway, if he can't bear it by then, he will definitely leave by himself.

Xia Zhili was born in a poor small town, and was sent to an orphanage not long after he was born. He went back this time mainly to visit the director of the orphanage and the teachers who helped him in high school.

Fly first, then transfer.

The car was a bus, and Qiu Min hadn't sat in it for many years. Jing Gui, who was used to sitting in a Bentley and Ferrari, frowned as soon as his butt touched the seat, but didn't make a sound.

Xia Zhili is at ease.There was a lot of noise and chatter around, but fortunately the two of them came up early, otherwise there would be no seats.

Qiu Min is by the window, the seat space is limited, and the two long legs are opened to both sides as if there is no place to put them.Their temperament is so outstanding that the young women around them are looking at them.

"You should take a taxi." Qiu Min said.

Xia Zhili: "I always take the bus when I come back."

"..." Well, bear with it.

Having survived the test of the bus, Qiu Min's bones were about to fall apart. He and Xia Zhili first found a hotel and got a double room.

Qiu Min lay on the hotel sheets that smelled like cheap washing powder, loosened his tie, and gasped: "Your husband is exhausted..."

Xia Zhili: "..." What husband, you have no shame.

"It's really not easy to go back to my partner's natal family." Qiu Min continued to be shameless, seeing Xia Zhili not answering, turned his head and asked with a smile, "Are you shy?"

Xia Zhili asked without answering, "Aren't you hungry?"

Qiu Min touched his flat belly: "...Hungry. Starved to death."

The two went to a small restaurant for dinner.

Two bowls of rice, a few dishes of home-cooked stir-fry, looked greasy, but tasted pretty good.

"President Qiu, do you want a beer?"

"Cold beer."

Xia Zhili ordered two bottles of cold beer, and the two chatted while eating.Qiu Min said: "I always feel that this place is a bit familiar, I seem to have been here before."

Xia Zhili said calmly, "Really."

Qiu Min poured beer into the glass, took a sip, and the cold liquid slid down his throat and esophagus, feeling refreshed: "I've been to many places, maybe I passed by here before."

Xia Zhili was noncommittal, just lowered his eyebrows and smiled.The man on the opposite side may never know, just because he happened to pass by here and funded a certain poor student, and now he will come here again.

It was not too early after dinner, and the two walked around the street.

After so many years, the small county has not changed much, and it is still too poor and backward.

Xia Zhili paused, and went to the supermarket to choose a few boxes of snack packs. Qiu Min asked amusedly, "Are you still eating this?"

Xia Zhili: "For the children in the orphanage."

Qiu Min spent the night in a small hotel, and took a taxi with Xia Zhili to the orphanage the next day.

The orphanage was small and dilapidated, and it looked like it hadn't been repaired for many years, but there was laughter in the courtyard, and the children played games on the artificial lawn under the guidance of the teacher.

Xia Zhili was chatting with the old dean, but Qiu Min didn't want to disturb him, so he stood in the corridor and smoked a cigarette, looking at the group of children who looked like bean sprouts, as if caught in some kind of long-term memory.

The dean insisted on keeping them for lunch, Xia Zhili and Qiu Min were not picky people, so they sat down in the cafeteria of the orphanage.

"This Mr. Qiu, is Xiao Xia's boss?" the dean asked.

"Yes. Hello, old sir." Qiu Min pretended to be gentle and polite, looking like a gentleman.

"Hello, hello." The dean smiled, "I'll trouble you to send Xiaoxia off when she comes back, she's such a nice person."

"..." Qiu Min smiled politely.

Xia Zhili was also embarrassed by the word "good guy", and quickly interrupted to talk about other topics.

Before leaving, Xia Zhili gave the dean a black handbag with 20 cash in it.The dean glanced at him, shaking his hands in fright, and quickly declined.Xia Zhili said it was a nutritional fee for the children, so the dean reluctantly accepted it, and sighed deeply as he looked at those innocent children.

Many of them have children with disabilities or mental disabilities, and the annual expenditures for various expenses are not enough to rely on the appropriation from above.Xia Zhili has some savings, 20 is not difficult for him, just do his best.

Seeing that the secretary was so charitable, Qiu Min certainly couldn't lag behind, and said as he walked, "I'll donate as well when I go back. We are of the same mind, and the benefits will cut through the money."

"..." Xia Zhili suppressed his laughter, slanderous and shameless.

Xia Zhili's teacher's house is near the school. The residential building is very old, the ground is extremely dirty, and there are even garbage piled up in some places.

Xia Zhili remembered that there was never such a dirty place before, and there were not so many old people here.

Over the years, his teachers had indeed become old people, and Xia Zhili could hardly recognize this old man who was trembling out from behind the door.

"... Teacher Qu, hello, I am Xia Zhili, do you remember?"

The old man helped the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, she squinted for a while, and then suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Oh, Xiao Xia?"

"it's me."

"Please come in, please come in. I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown into a young man." Teacher Qu said kindly, "You don't need to change your shoes, just come in, the house is a bit messy."

Xia Zhili put the supplements he bought by the shoe cabinet: "Teacher, this is for you."

"Hey, it's fine if you come. What gifts do you bring? It will cost a lot of money, right?"

"It didn't cost much—oh, this is my boss, Mr. Qiu."

Qiu Min smiled: "Mr. Qu, hello."

"Hello, hello." The old man looked at Qiu Min with a smile, "Your boss is so handsome and tall..." There was a sudden pause in his voice, and he moved closer to Qiu Min, "You are...Mr. Qiu?!"

Qiu Min: "?"

"Mr. Qiu! It's really you! After so many years, you haven't changed at all!"

Qiu Min smiled and asked, "Teacher, do you know me?"

Teacher Qu laughed loudly: "You came to our school back then—oh, it's been fifteen or sixteen years, and I've become an old woman. It's normal if you don't remember. Xiaoxia... Xiaoxia, do you always remember?"

Qiu Min: "???"

"There are photos! I'll go find the photos, you sit down first."

Xia Zhili: "Teacher, stop looking."

"Sit, sit, I'll find it right away." Teacher Qu went to the bedroom to look for a photo album.

Qiu Min and Xia Zhili looked at each other, Qiu Min asked, "What's going on?"

Xia Zhili didn't know what to say. He didn't expect the teacher to still remember Qiu Min after so many years.

It is said that time is a pig-killing knife, and you can only blame it. This pig-killing knife is too gentle to Qiu Min.
