Same Bed Different Dreams

Wei Xiao couldn't bear the urge to hug Zhou Jingci, only touched his shoulder, and asked, "Shall we have a meal together?"

Zhou Jingci's heart was in a mess. He had been entangled with Wei Xiao for half of his life, and he had just made up his mind to walk independently in the future, but he returned to before liberation.

He was very annoyed.I have been cautious for so many years, why did I capsize in Wei Xiao's gutter today?

He thought to himself, because there is no money, Jingyun Finance needs a suitable financing too much, throwing away those unscrupulous intermediaries and capital that can't cooperate at all, there are very few that can solve Jingyun Finance's urgent needs.

The emergence of Wanzhong Fund was in Zhou Jingci's arms. Although the conditions were good, they were not unfair. In addition, Wei Xiao's absence during this period made Zhou Jingci completely lose his vigilance.

Zhou Jingci thought disconsolately, if he had separated money with Wei Xiao when they separated, and brought more money, it would not be like this today.

However, when Zhou Jingci left Wei Xiao's side, all he could think about was to get rid of quickly, get rid of the shadow of those days, get rid of the haze of this relationship, and at the same time get rid of the shackles of e-buy.

He couldn't forget Wei Xiao's doubts and slanders towards him when he lost his memory, and he couldn't forget his face when he asked him for [-] million, so he was willing to "clean himself and leave the house."

There was a bit of anger, but more because he didn't want to be underestimated by Wei Xiao.

Zhou Jingci wanted to use this decisive way to tell Wei Xiao that what he wanted was never money and status, let alone betraying him for these vulgar things.

At the beginning, Zhou Jingci only wanted to escape, to prove himself, to think that he had experience and knowledge, so he wouldn't be unable to survive.

Anyway, his material desire is very low, and he never cared about those things outside of him.

Unexpectedly, he met Li Yun and embarked on the road of no return to starting a business.

Zhou Jingci bit his lip lightly, his heart was entangled, and he didn't hear Wei Xiao's words for a while.

Seeing that he neither said yes nor opposed the proposal, Wei Xiao assumed that he agreed and half pushed him towards the garage.

When Wei Xiao's car started, Zhou Jingci came back to his senses. He was a little displeased, and asked in a calm voice, "What are you going to do?"

Wei Xiao sized him up while turning the steering wheel to change lanes, "Jing Ci, it's getting late, let's go eat."

Zhou Jingci turned his head to look at Wei Xiao, feeling a little complicated.

He didn't want to have dinner with Wei Xiao, and he was constantly disturbed by it. Zhou Jingci didn't want to make himself unhappy, and he didn't want to add trouble to Wei Xiao.

But Wei Xiao just gave him a large sum of money today, although he deserved it, but after all he agreed to not want anything at the beginning, in this way, Wei Xiao did him a big favor.

That being the case, Zhou Jingci is not very good at refusing Wei Xiao's face, he is not so hypocritical.

Ever since Wei Xiao made his fortune and became more and more affluent, he has carried forward compensatory consumption. He always only chooses the expensive ones, not the right ones. He has to go to big restaurants with hundreds of dollars per capita for dinner, let alone luxury villas. up.

But this time, Wei Xiao turned around and stopped at the door of a small restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, but it is full of people. There is a signboard in front of the door, and two LED lights on it have gone out, leaving only the word "restaurant".

Zhou Jingci frowned, looking around, he always felt familiar, he looked into the restaurant again, and then remembered that this was the one they used to eat when they lived in the basement together.

The boss and the proprietress are much older than before. They were young people in their early thirties, and their faces are wrinkled and their hair is half white in a blink of an eye.

The proprietress has put on a lot of weight. When she saw Wei Xiao, she felt familiar, but she couldn't name him, so she hurriedly asked to sit inside.

The two sat by the window, still in the corner more than ten years ago, their eyes met each other, and their moods were a little complicated.

Things are things and people are not things. The two people sitting here at the beginning must never have imagined that they would be so good and so bad later on.

More than ten years have passed, and the menu has changed several times, with many additions and deletions. The spicy chicken they loved at that time is no longer on the menu now.

Wei Xiao then called the proprietress and said, "Can you make spicy chicken?"

The proprietress was startled, and said with a smile, "Hey, you must be an old customer from five or six years ago, right?"

Wei Xiao also smiled, "More than that, I haven't been here for more than ten years."

The proprietress was overjoyed, and said in multiple voices, "Okay, okay, I'll make it for you, and I will come here often in the future."

Wei Xiao also repeatedly agreed.

However, both Wei Xiao and Zhou Jingci knew that they would not come here often.

Wei Xiao stared at Zhou Jingci's face, and asked in a low voice, "How is your health these days? Are you still taking medicine? Have you been to Dr. Lin again?"

Zhou Jingci lowered his head, didn't look into Wei Xiao's eyes, and said slowly, "Fortunately, Dr. Lin said that I'm recovering well, and I switched to a medicine with less side effects."

Wei Xiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he relaxed a lot, and after a few seconds, he said, "I'm relieved now."

Zhou Jingci stirred the soup in front of him, but didn't touch the plate of spicy chicken.

In memory, this store was their favorite food at the beginning.

Back then, life was tight, and I only came to eat once when it was a festival or when I made some achievements.

Every time two people have to eat the dishes cleanly.

Later, their life gradually improved, and they finally moved out of the basement and rented a better house. Later, they bought a small house, a big house, a big villa...

They never came to the restaurant again.

A few times, when the two of them lay in bed, they couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic, and the most mentioned one was always this plate of spicy chicken.

More than ten years have passed, and they have never been here.This dish is no longer the taste in memory.

In fact, it can't be blamed for lack of time, just like the neglect of communication in the past, it can't be all due to the fact that both of us are busy.

And just like this dish, their relationship has also changed after countless days and nights of exhausting communication.

From talking about everything at the beginning to having nothing to say at the end, from knowing each other to being full of grudges, in fact, it was only a few years.

Those hesitating entanglements and lingering concerns magnified and fermented in time until there was a Mariana Trench between them.

"Why don't you eat more? You used to like it very much." Wei Xiao put the meat on the plate in front of Zhou Jingci and asked.

Zhou Jingci twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, I like it."

Wei Xiao was bored, silent for a few seconds, looked around, and said, "Back then we were so poor, even this kind of restaurant, we didn't want to come back a few more times."

That being said, neither of them ate much today.

The restaurant was extremely noisy, and the smell of oily smoke from the kitchen mixed with the smell of tobacco and wine from the guests, and they all got into people's noses together.

Now they have long been unable to adapt to such a dining environment.

Zhou Jingci also sighed.He felt a little uncomfortable, how can humans be animals that can share suffering but not happiness.

They didn't stay in the restaurant for too long, and they only ate a little bit of the dish of spicy chicken that they never forgot.

Wei Xiao dragged Zhou Jingci to go deeper into the alley, and finally came to a row of old residential buildings.

Zhou Jingci stopped suddenly, and he looked up at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao also looked at him and said, "Come in and have a look. After we separated, I bought the basement where we lived together."

Zhou Jingci frowned, but did not object to Wei Xiao's proposal.

Today, there are still many people living in the basement. As soon as they go in, they are greeted by a musty smell and the rotten smell of food.

Zhou Jingci coughed dryly twice, and walked into the original room with Wei Xiao.

It is said to be a basement, but half of it is on the ground and the other half is underground. There is a row of windows on the outermost side, and you can see the ground.

Wei Xiao tidied up this room on purpose. The bed and table were bought similar to the original ones, and there were a few old posters hanging on the wall. At first glance, Zhou Jingci really seemed to have traveled through time and space.

Standing in front of the window, Wei Xiao looked at Zhou Jingci, "Back then, you were willing to live with me even in such a place, why don't you want to go home with me now?"

Zhou Jingci froze for a second, and he said softly, "You know, when you took me to that restaurant for dinner today, I was thinking, in fact, time can really change a lot. Just like the dish changed , the method is different, the seasoning is different, and we have also changed. No matter how much we want to go back to the past, how much we want to find the mood when we ate this dish, we can’t deny that we can’t accept it under such an environment. Eat something."

"It's like, we used to be able to live here for a year, two years, but now, I'm afraid we can't even stay here for one night."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jingci looked a little sad, "It doesn't mean that we can go back to the past by desperately searching for traces of the past and restoring the traces of the past."

"As you said, the past is the past, and no one can go back."
