bosom friend

"Xin Yu?"

Xin Yu turned her head and saw an unexpected person——his ex-girlfriend Xiao Anqi.Her name is easy to remember, and at the beginning of the year, Xin Yu and Qiao Ping had reviewed it when they chatted, so Xin Yu was not worried that he would remember it wrong, so he confidently called someone: "Xiao Anqi?"

"What a coincidence." Xiao Anqi smiled, "I work nearby, so I came here for dinner. We haven't seen each other for many years, right?" She has been back to China for several years, but before today, she had never met Xin Yu—I haven't met her college classmates when they eat together.

Xin Yu said, "I haven't seen her since graduation."

Xiao Anqi counted with her fingers, "It's been eight years. I didn't expect that I could still recognize you at a glance."

"..." Xin Yu looked at Xiao Anqi. His ex-girlfriend used to have long hair, but now it has been cut into neat short hair.Everything else seems to have remained the same, and he should be able to recognize it at a glance if he sees it on the road - if he will seriously look at the people on the road.

Xiao Anqi smiled and said, "Are you here for dinner too?"

Xin Yu nodded, "Yes, with my colleagues."

"You work nearby too?"

"Yes, in Nanqing Building."

"I'm in Guangcheng." Xiao Anqi said: "Looking at you standing here alone, I was just about to ask if you were waiting for your girlfriend. I also saw you here once last week, in the underground parking lot. Hold a bouquet of white roses."

Xin Yu remembered, "So you called me that time." He ignored Rose.

"I didn't expect that, did I?"

Xin Yu smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that."

"what are you doing now?"

"Advertising industry." Xin Yu also asked, "What about you?"

"Do online games."

"Oh, what game?"

"A Japanese game agent, I remember you don't play games much..."

"Xin Yu!" Another person came.

This time Xin Yu knew who it was from the sound: Qiao Ping ran out.Before he turned his head, he frowned, didn't he have a headache, why were he running around?

As soon as Qiao Ping was on the escalator, he saw Xin Yu chatting with a woman. When he came up to see, this woman looked familiar, Xiao Anqi? "Xiaoyu..." How could she be with you?

Xiao Anqi said, "Qiao Pingyi, isn't it?" She was very impressed with Xin Yu, the youngest.Back then, she never called Xin Yu "Xiao Yu", but this person often called him in front of her, and he still does now!However, it's none of her business now, it's the turn of the person who collects Xin Yu's roses to worry about.

"It's me." Qiao Ping smiled, "Xiao Anqi, long time no see."

The two looked at each other for two seconds, then turned their eyes away to look at Xin Yu at the same time, their eyes and expressions expressed the same meaning: Didn't you say that you came to eat with your colleagues?Then why is she/he here?

The difference is that Qiao Ping only condemned Xin Yu with his eyes: You actually asked your ex-girlfriend to have dinner together, and even lied to me that it was a company dinner!

But Xiao Anqi asked directly, "Didn't you say you had dinner with your colleagues?"

Xin Yu looked in the direction of the hotpot restaurant and saw several colleagues talking at the door, Xu Fa was also there, so he called out, "Xu Fa!"

Xu Fa turned his head and ran over, "Brother, what's the matter?" He saw Qiao Ping, and called out, "Brother Qiao."

Qiaoping nodded in response.

Xin Yu said: "Has the food started inside? Is everyone here?"

Xu Fa said: "No, it's only halfway here, come first, eat first, some people are already eating."

Xin Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I see. Did you bring cigarettes?"

"Bring it." Xu Fa took out his cigarettes, and gave the whole box to Xin Yu.

"Thank you." Xin Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Go and eat first. I'll talk to my friend later."

"Okay." Xu Fa ran back to the door of the hot pot restaurant.

Xin Yu waved the cigarette in front of Qiao Pingyi and Xiao Anqi, "Anyone want to smoke?"

Xiao Anqi waved her hands and smiled awkwardly, "So you really came to eat with your colleagues..."

"Well, company dinner."

Qiao Ping leaned against the railing and looked around, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

But Xin Yu would not ignore him because of this, "Qiao Pingyi, why are you here?"

"I'm coming to eat too."

Xin Yu said, "Your head doesn't hurt anymore?"

Qiao Ping touched his forehead, "Basically, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Xin Yu frowned, pulled Qiao Pingyi's hand away, put her hand on Qiao Pingyi's forehead, and tested the temperature, it seemed that it was not hot anymore.

Xiao Anqi raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them.

Xin Yu withdrew her hand and explained, "He had a little fever this morning."

Xiao Anqi asked sharply, "You live together?"

"..." Xin Yu said, "He is temporarily staying with me."

Xiao Anqi nodded, and looked at Xin Yu with a half-smile, "I'm not surprised. You are always indifferent to people, so you are the best for him. Why do you think you are still looking for a girlfriend? He is enough." .”

"..." Xin Yu was surprised.Back then, when they broke up, both of them were very peaceful and friendly.Unexpectedly, Xiao Anqi still had resentment towards him, and this anger has not completely dissipated after so many years.

Xiao Anqi said: "Okay, that's it, I'm leaving." She just turned around, turned back again, and said with a smile, "What's your mobile phone number? I can consult you if I have any questions about advertising in the future." ?”

Women are really fickle. It was cloudy just now, and now it is sunny again.Xin Yu said, "Of course. My phone number has never been changed."

This man is really like a day for ten years... No wonder I can recognize him at a glance, because he hasn't changed.Xiao Anqi nodded, "Okay, then I know." She never deleted Xin Yu's number, but after the breakup, she never called again.

After Xiao Anqi left, Xin Yu focused all her attention on Qiao Pingyi, "Qiao Pingyi."

"..." Qiao Ping looked back at him calmly with questioning eyes.

Xin Yu said: "Today is a company dinner, no one brings family members, and I can't bring you to the table."

"...It's okay." Qiao Pingyi thought he was going to say something.

Xin Yu asked again, "Why did you come here?"

Qiao Ping said: "I'm here for dinner. You're not at home, and I'm bored eating alone. I didn't have a headache anymore, so I just went out for a walk, and then I suddenly wanted to eat the 'Huajiao' we went to last time." , I think you are here anyway, after dinner, we can just go back together. So, I came over. "

There are reasons and evidences, and Xin Yu can't help but not believe it. "My side will definitely be very slow, you'd better go back by yourself first."

"Oh."

"Xin Yu." Someone came again.

Xin Yu looked over, and it was his boss who called him this time.He smiled and said, "Boss, you just came, they have already started eating."

The boss said helplessly: "I can't help it. When it's time to get off work, something happened." When he saw Qiao Pingyi, he smiled, "Your friend?"

Just as Xin Yu was about to speak, Qiao Pingyi picked it up, "Hello, Qiao Pingyi."

It took a second for the boss to realize that he was introducing himself, "..." He hesitated, he never thought of meeting Xin Yu's friends.While hesitating, he took a quick look at Qiao Pingyi, and then showed a steady smile, "Hello, I'm Guan Zhong."

Qiao Ping smiled and said: "Chong of the mountains and mountains? Do you know Guan He? I remember he said that there are several brothers in his family, there are mountains and rivers."

Guan He is a celebrity in the business world and the founder of a home appliance business.Qiao Ping knew him first.

Boss Guan smiled and waved his hands, "No, I'm heavy. I don't want to be called 'audience'. It just so happens that the word is polyphonic, so I took the pronunciation of 'chong'."

Qiao Ping sighed and said: "My dear father... my father is also this kind of father. You see, he named me 'Ping Yi', which means "Ping Yi" for peace, and one, two, and three for one. It's not bad when you read the characters. Just listening to the sound, it is easy to think that it is the 'Pingyi' who met by chance and reluctantly, alas...'

Xin Yu was speechless when she heard it, didn't you two "meet each other by chance, reluctant to leave", as soon as you met, you began to feel sorry for each other and hated seeing each other late.He thought again: Qiao Pingyi is going all out, even his own name can be used to arrange, if there is no conspiracy, who will believe it?

Qiao Pingyi chatted with Guan Zhong for a few more words, and then said: "I don't want to bother you, you go to eat quickly, and I will go find something to eat too. I originally wanted to ask Xin Yu to have dinner together, but I didn't expect to run into your company." Dinner..."

Guan Zhong warmly invited, "Then you can come with us, that is to add a pair of chopsticks."

Qiao Ping hesitated, "This doesn't seem very good..."

"What's wrong, meeting is fate." Guan Zhong said while seeking support from the third person present, "Xin Yu, right?"

Eat the king's salary, share the worries for the king.The boss asked him to pass the steps, but Xin Yu couldn't dismantle the steps. He smiled and said, "Boss, have you brought enough money? He is especially good at eating."

"Nonsense, I'm only vegetarian today!" Qiao Ping slapped Xin Yu's back twice as if joking, then wrapped his arms around his shoulders and hung him on his body.

Boss Guan watched cheerfully from the side, "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

Taking advantage of the two getting close, Xin Yu said in a low voice, "Yiyi, you worked really hard just to get a meal."

"That's right, it's a little bit of savings. I want to save money to support my family."

"..."

After entering the hotpot restaurant, Qiao Ping followed Xin Yu to sit in the creative department.

Xin Yu's colleagues were very surprised when they saw him as a stranger. Those who knew him, such as Xu Fa, asked directly, "Brother Qiao, are you here too?"

Qiao Ping smiled and said, "Well, you got special approval from the boss."

"Oh!" Xu Fa didn't know what he had imagined, and admired him, "Brother Qiao is mighty!!"

Drinks are sure to be at the party.

At Xin Yu's table, someone soon proposed to have a drink together.

Qiao Ping smiled and said, "Wait, work slowly. Does your company have a wine culture?"

Everyone laughed: "What the hell is that?"

Qiao Ping said: "It's fine if you don't have one. Let me tell you a secret: your eldest brother is allergic to alcohol and can't drink alcohol, and he will get alcohol rash when he drinks it—hiss, it's very scary, and people with intensive phobia like me dare not watch it." Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps." He figuratively stroked his arm as he spoke.

Xin Yu was speechless, what she said seemed to be true...couldn't it be true?But I didn't get alcohol rash every time I drank, just during the Chinese New Year...
