Wei Ran Chen Feng

17.

Chen Xi changed his white coat and straightened his collar in front of the mirror. When he lowered his head, he smelled the disinfectant on his body and frowned.

But at this time, he couldn't control so much anymore, he lowered his head and sent a message to Yan Ran: "Are you off work yet? I'll pick you up."

Yan Ran replied to him: "Come on, I'm at home now, you can come here directly."

Chen Xi arrived at Yan Ran's house with ease, and sent him another text message: "I'm downstairs."

But Yan Ran didn't reply to him right away, Chen Xi thought that he was probably taking a shower or doing something else, anyway, it's not convenient to look at his phone right now, so he had to find an open place downstairs and parked his car to wait. .

The security guard downstairs has been staring at him, and slowly walked out of the security booth, as if he wanted to knock on his car window and ask him what he was doing here.

Chen Xi took the initiative to open the window, smiled at the security guard, and explained, "I'm waiting for someone. Teacher Yan."

The security guard suddenly realized, and started to chat with him: "Teacher Yan Ranyan? Teacher Yan is really nice, sometimes he made some snacks for me... He is usually warm-hearted."

Chen Xi had never eaten the dim sum made by Teacher Yan. He rubbed his nose and suddenly looked forward to it.He said, "Well, has Teacher Yan lived here for a long time?"

The security guard shook his head and said that he had just started living here recently.He glanced at Chen Xi again, and said in surprise, "I remembered who you are! No wonder you look familiar! I was on duty a few nights ago, did Teacher Yan take you to his house together?"

Chen Xi smiled: "It was the day before yesterday."

The security guard suddenly looked back and said, "Hey, Teacher Yan is down. Are you going to eat at this point?" He asked himself and replied, "It must be, then you should eat more happily. It doesn't matter if you play for a long time. , I am on duty tonight, and I will open the door for you no matter how late.”

Yan Ran had already walked to the car door, and when he heard the security guard's words, he bent his mouth and said, "Well, let's go to eat. I won't be back late, and I won't disturb your sleep."

The security guard waved to them.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Chen Xi asked, "Where are you going?"

Yan Ran adjusted the air conditioner, sighed that it was too hot, and said, "I thought you had thought it through."

Chen Xi: "No, it's not that I don't know where you want to go." He stared at the front seriously and held the steering wheel tightly.

Yan Ran turned to look at him, and suddenly said with a smile: "I don't have anything special to eat. Or is it a Sichuan restaurant?"

Chen Xi replied: "Okay. There is one in front, but I don't like the smell there. There is a good one further away, but there should be quite a lot of people at this time." He paused again, "Where do you want to go?" Home?"

"Go to the one farther away."

There was no more conversation along the way, Chen Xi drove the car seriously, Yan Ran seriously... watched him drive.

When we arrived at the Sichuan restaurant, there were indeed many people.After finally finding a parking space to park, it was already crowded with people when we entered.

Seeing them coming in, the waiter hurried up to greet them: "Sorry sir, there are no seats in the hall now."

Just as Yan Ran was about to say, let's change to another house, he heard Chen Xi say: "Don't need the hall, open another private room."

The waiter was a little surprised, but led them obediently. When they got to the private room, he said cautiously: "Sir, do you have any other friends coming?"

Chen Xi said lightly: "No. Just two."

The waiter took the order for them. The consumption in the private room was not small. They ordered a bunch of crayfish, skinny shrimp, hairy crab and various beef offal. Yan Ran looked at the list: "I don't know if I can finish it."

Chen Xi looked at him amusedly, and said: "If you can't finish eating, pack it up, two big men can't finish eating with such a small amount?"

Yan Ran slandered, what is such a point?Nine dishes so much?But he didn't bother to worry about it anymore, so he thought about it a few times and said, "I studied at University S for a few years, and then I also studied abroad for a while, and I didn't think it was suitable... so I went back to City S to find a job. This year I Mom is not in good health, and she lives alone, so I quit my job and came back here."

Chen Xi lowered his head to look at the cup in his hand, and it took him a while to reply: "...um."

Yan Ran shrugged, "Here, that's all. I'm done."

Chen Xi looked up at him, and said softly, "You... have changed a lot these years."

Yan Ran smiled: "People always change and grow up."

Chen Xi nodded and remained silent.

"It's you... why do you seem to be sentimental? Have you been in City Z all these years?"

Chen Xi smiled, and said casually: "How can you be so sad? I haven't seen old friends for too many years. Isn't it okay to lament the ruthlessness of time?"

When Yan Ran heard "old friend", the smile on his face froze, and he suddenly felt a little depressed.

Chen Xi didn't seem to hear the question he just asked, and it took a long time before he answered: "Well, it's always there."

Yan Ran rubbed her thumb intentionally or unintentionally: "It's easy to get tired of always staying in one place."

Chen Xi looked at him and said, "No. I have stayed in this place for more than [-] years, and all my happy and unhappy memories are here... I have taken root here all my life."

Yan Ran suddenly changed the subject: "Why hasn't the food been served yet?"

Chen Xi was a little disappointed, "Maybe they forgot, I'll go and urge them."

He pulled out the chair and walked outside.

Yan Ran wanted to call him to stop, but rubbed his belly, forget it, hurry up, he is hungry anyway.

18.

After the two finished their meal quietly, Chen Xi sent Yan Ran home.

He watched Yan Ran's leaving back, always feeling a little dazed.

Tonight...he couldn't see what Yan Ran's attitude was like.Sometimes I feel that there is no gap between them, and the conversation and laughter are like the two of them many years ago.But sometimes... getting along is more awkward than being with a stranger.

He was a little annoyed, but it wasn't directed at Yan Ran, but annoyed at himself.Yan Ran definitely has some concerns about him, but that concern is probably mixed with some... nostalgia and reluctance for the past.

He looked again, and Yan Ran's figure had disappeared, but... Chen Xi smiled, the past was the past, and the present is the present.

When he got home, Chen Xi discovered that the indicator light on the upper left corner of the phone was flashing non-stop, and he clicked on the phone.

Yan Ran didn't know what to do: Are you back home? (~￣▽￣)～

Chen Xi: Just arrived.

Yan Ran has no idea what to do: Thank you tonight, I will invite you another day ヾ()"

Chen Xi: Yes, then you choose a place first.

Yan Ran didn’t know what to do: Anyway, I won’t go to a Sichuan restaurant next time. Tonight’s food is delicious, but I’m starting to feel sick to my stomach now…..(ˇˇ)…

Chen Xi: Do you have medicine at home?Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid or Po Chai Pills?

Yan Ran has no plans to return: Yes, yes, don’t worry, it’s nothing serious (ω)

Chen Xi: Well, then go to bed early.

Yan Ran didn't know what to do: good d(ω｀*) good night.

Chen Xi: Good night.

Chen Xi's fingertips lingered on the phrase "Good night" for a long time, looking at Yan Ran's facial expressions that he must wear in every sentence, he felt a little funny, if only... in reality, he could face him with such a cute side. ...
