[Old Paoer] Feibo colleagues - Strangers

Tan Xiaofei had just finished the race, and he was still in high spirits, so he drove aimlessly in circles on the street, thinking that he would go back to the third ring road and go for a few laps to enjoy himself.But when he was driving, he always felt that there were two fiery gazes beside him, as if they were going to burn through his right cheek.

Of course Tan Xiaofei didn't know Zhang Xiaobo's sobs at the moment, but he wasn't a talkative person, so he allowed Zhang Xiaobo to scrutinize him so unscrupulously.At this moment, a crisp mobile phone rang, breaking the silent atmosphere in the car.

Tan Xiaofei glanced at the phone screen, it showed Uncle Gong.Old Gong knew that Tan Xiaofei was a night owl, so he would call him at night when he had anything to do.Tan Xiaofei frowned slightly, with a look of impatience on his face, but he pressed the answer button obediently.

"Hello!" The phone was connected to the Bluetooth in the car, and Lao Gong's deep voice echoed throughout the car.

"Uncle Gong." Tan Xiaofei respected this old Gong who looked at him instead of his father.

"Xiao Fei, the old man called again today to ask questions. Hurry up and tell me about the matter in Beijing, do you know?" When Lao Gong opened his mouth, he was talking about Tan Xiaofei going to Canada again, and Tan Xiaofei couldn't hear it. Calloused.

"Uncle Gong, I still have something to do, let's talk about it in a few days." Tan Xiaofei said calmly, every time Lao Gong mentioned this matter, he would use this excuse to prevaricate.

"What can you do, just play around outside every day." Lao Gong scolded, but his tone did not mean to blame. He has been helping Tan Junyao to watch Xiaofei for the past few years, and he has already regarded this child as his own brother in his heart .He softened his tone and continued to lobby, "You like racing cars, and you can go racing in Canada! At the worst, I promise you, if you go there, I will find a way to transport your precious cars over there. ?"

"Uncle Gong, it's not about the car!" Tan Xiaofei replied, "I'll go there after I finish dealing with the matter here."

"Fei, you're still young, and there are some things you don't understand. The old man has his own reasons for wanting you to go to Canada so urgently. Just listen to him!" Old Gong Yu persuaded earnestly.

But if Tan Xiaofei could be persuaded so easily, he would have left a long time ago, so why wait until today.Hearing what Uncle Gong said, he snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "I don't care to understand."

"Fly!" Lao Gong's tone over there gradually became impatient, "Do you really think I don't know? You keep making excuses, don't you just want to delay your mother's death day before leaving!"

Tan Xiaofei was stabbed at the weak point in his heart. In the darkness, there was a chill on his face, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.

Seeing that he stopped talking, the old Gong on the other end of the phone sighed heavily, knowing that he had been hit by him, "Xiao Fei, you also know the identity of the old man, how can he go to Beijing to visit the grave when he is free, you can find a time Just go and see your mother by yourself, don't delay any longer, you know?"

"Is he not free to come, or does he not want to come?" Tan Xiaofei's words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth. If his tone could have warmth, the compartment should already be full of icicles.

"Xiaofei..." Old Gong was speechless, "Why do you like to be so horny, kid?"

Tan Xiaofei didn't even want to say a word, and hung up the phone directly.Then he remembered that Zhang Xiaobo was still sitting next to him.Tan Xiaofei turned his head and gave Zhang Xiaobo a hard look!Zhang Xiaobo lowered his head guiltily, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, as if he didn't hear anything.

Tan Xiaofei's originally good mood was completely disturbed by the phone call. The steering wheel was pulled suddenly, and the car braked suddenly with a "squeak", and stopped firmly on the side of the road.Tan Xiaofei got out of the car, leaned against the body of the car, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and put it in his mouth, but he groped all over his body, but he couldn't find the lighter, so he had to take it out and hold it on his fingertips angrily, watching Cigarettes in a daze.

There was a soft sound of "stab!", and a handful of faint blue flames ignited in front of Tan Xiaofei. Tan Xiaofei raised his head and saw Zhang Xiaobo standing in front of him holding a lighter.

In response to Zhang Xiaobo's fire, Tan Xiaofei lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.Zhang Xiaobo lit one himself, leaning against him, and the two of them began to puff and smoke on the side of the empty road.

"Actually, you don't need to be embarrassed." It was Zhang Xiaobo who broke the awkward atmosphere first, "Actually, my mother is gone."

Tan Xiaofei exhaled a puff of smoke and did not speak.

Zhang Xiaobo continued: "I was only six years old that year. I still remember that day was the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. My mother promised me to eat dumplings at night. I moved a small stool and sat at the entrance of the alley, waiting for her to come back from work. But What I waited for was my mother’s colleague. He said that my mother was hit by someone, and the grandson who hit him escaped! At that time, my father was hiding outside and couldn’t be contacted, and there was no bed in the hospital, so I was alone. My mother was lying on the bench in the corridor of the hospital, watching her die..."

Zhang Xiaobo took another puff of cigarette heavily, and the puff was filled with white mist to cover up his sad expression.He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he suddenly told Tan Xiaofei about this.Maybe it was because of the unusual atmosphere tonight that he had to say something, or maybe it was because he felt that he and Tan Xiaofei had the same disease...

Tan Xiaofei flicked the cigarette in Sudden's hand to the ground, crushed it out with his foot, and said bitterly to Zhang Xiaobo: "Who the hell wants to hear you say this!" Then he turned around and opened the car door and got in.

Zhang Xiaobo wasn't sentimental enough yet, he was a little stunned and couldn't recover.The car window was lowered slowly, Tan Xiaofei still had that expressionless face, and said coldly: "Do you want to freeze to death outside? Are you still in the car?"

Zhang Xiaobo sat in the co-pilot, feeling a little embarrassed, originally wanted to comfort Tan Xiaofei with his experience, but this master didn't even have the slightest intention to appreciate it.The two continued to race in silence, and finally stopped at the door of a luxury hotel when it was daylight.Tan Xiaofei opened the door and got out of the car. The car key made a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell into the hand of the doorman next to him. The whole movement was done in one go.

Zhang Xiaobo was still sitting in the car in a daze, the doorman opened the door, bent down and asked politely, "Sir, are you not getting out of the car?"

Zhang Xiaobo had no choice but to get out of the car and followed Tan Xiaofei to the hotel.As soon as the two passed through the revolving door, a lobby manager who was wearing a well-fitting uniform skirt and a famous tag pinned to his chest greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Fei came so early today!"

The manager is also a beauty, but Tan Xiaofei didn't look sideways, and hummed a syllable coldly from his nose, which was a response.The manager didn't seem surprised, and couldn't see any embarrassment on his face. Zhang Xiaobo was also amazed!

"Why are we here?" Zhang Xiaobo didn't have the patience of the lobby manager, so he finally couldn't hold back, caught up with Tan Xiaofei, and asked curiously.

Tan Xiaofei shot him a slanted glance, that look seemed to be looking at a fool, but he finally opened his mouth and spit out three words: "I'm hungry!"

Only then did Zhang Xiaobo realize that they had already walked to the restaurant of the hotel.

Because it was still early, there were only a few staff members in the restaurant, uniformly dressed in white chef uniforms, standing all around with their hands down.In the magnificent hall, the dazzling crystal lamps emit orange light, refracted from the roof to the metal containers containing the food, and even the food inside seems to be covered with a layer of soft light, shining a mouth-watering luster.

"Choose what you want to eat." Tan Xiaofei said to Zhang Xiaobo.He is a frequent visitor here, and he has everything he wants to eat without having to worry about it.

Although there is everything from Chinese food to Western food here, for Zhang Xiaobo, there is no attraction at all.The huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows around the restaurant are facing the street. When people in a hurry, walking or cycling, will always look in unconsciously when they pass by, it is like watching a monkey through a layer of glass. It seemed that if Zhang Xiaobo had breakfast in such a place, he would feel uncomfortable all over!

"Then you eat yours, I'll eat mine, I saw a breakfast stall across the road, I'll eat there!" Zhang Xiaobo said quickly.Then he saw Tan Xiaofei squinting his eyes and looked over. He thought that Tan Xiaofei suspected that he was going to run away, so he quickly added, "Masters spit a nail, I said I won't run away, but I won't run away!"

Tan Xiaofei's long and narrow eyes were like a pool of water, bottomless, and he stood there looking at Zhang Xiaobo without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't object, Zhang Xiaobo thought he agreed, turned around and walked quickly outside the hotel door.Tan Xiaofei's eyes followed Zhang Xiaobo's leaping figure until he ran to the opposite side of the road, sat down on the iron table in front of the dirty breakfast shop, smiled and said something to the owner of the breakfast shop.Tan Xiaofei watched the white steam of the breakfast booth diffuse in the morning light, and Zhang Xiaobo's face melted in the smoke, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

Zhang Xiaobo sat down at a square table on the side of the street. Although it was still early, the breakfast shop was already overcrowded.There are students pushing bicycles, uncles who take a walk in the morning, and uncles who have just finished their morning exercises, yelling with a sip of Beijing film: "Boss, here is a pancake fruit! Put more green onions!"

The environment here is naturally not as good as that hotel, with greasy and rusty tables, plastic stools across their buttocks, dilapidated bicycles rattling past them, and a private car passing by from time to time, with the horn honking Beeping, kicking up a pile of ashes!But Zhang Xiaobo felt that this was the authentic taste of old Beijing.

The boss was very enthusiastic. Zhang Xiaobo’s order of soy milk, coke rings and pancakes was delivered quickly. The hot aroma filled his nostrils. Zhang Xiaobo, who was so greedy that he hadn’t eaten since last night, was about to drool, so he picked up the bowl directly. Take a big sip, your uncle's tastes like this!

Zhang Xiaobo ate with relish, and saw Tan Xiaofei walking over with half a sandwich in his hand from a distance.Then he bent his long legs and sat down opposite Zhang Xiaobo.

Zhang Xiaobo glanced at him sideways, pushed the bean juice in his hand towards him, and teased, "Would you like to have a bowl of bean juice too? It's so authentic! It's hard to even have a mouthful of it now!"

Tan Xiaofei smelled the strange smell coming out of the bowl, and frowned in disgust: "Take it away, I feel like vomiting when I smell it! Are you stupid if you even eat this?"

"Am I stupid?" Zhang Xiaobo took a bite of the pancake fruit, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster, and said vaguely, "You go to that hotel for a few hundred dollars for breakfast, right? Just to eat half a piece of bread with a slice of vegetables Leaf? You are stupid!"

Tan Xiaofei's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a gloomy and uncertain light in his pupils. Zhang Xiaobo knew that he had slipped his words, lowered his head and took another bite of the pancake fruit, and cursed himself secretly: "Eating can't stop your mouth!"
