Ceaseless

The accident ended with free compensation for the guests and deducting part of the wages of Chen Sheng and the back kitchen staff.Nie Jingze and his party left after eating the hot pot, but Shen Sui was a little surprised that Nie Jingze would ask for help.However, accidents were accidents, but he didn't say much.But before leaving, he took advantage of Nie Jingze getting up to pay the bill, called for Su Xi, knocked on the table and asked, "I've helped you this time, right?"

Su Xi said flatly, "Thank you."

Shen Sui looked at him with a slightly strange look, "It's been so long since I've known you, and this is the first time I've heard you thank me." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But I'm not just here to hear your thank you." He Prolonging the tone, he glanced at Nie Jingze who appeared at the end of his sight, "Even if you owe this favor to me, I will come to you when I ask you to pay it back."

After the other party finished speaking, he turned his head and hooked Ning Yuan's shoulder and left.

Su Xi looked in the direction he was leaving, and saw Nie Jingze stop, raised his black eyes and glanced at him from afar.He paused for a while, and when he looked again, he found that the other party only spoke to Shen Sui, not looking at him behind Shen Sui.

He looked away, turned around and walked in.

In the next few days, Su Xi did not see Nie Jingze again.Zhong Qing also began to return to the normal life of working the night shift in the past.Two nights later, when Su Xi came home from get off work, he received the news of love.

The other party said enthusiastically on WeChat that he had received the previous month's salary and wanted to treat him to dinner.

But Su Xi poured cold water on him, telling Zhong Qing that their off-duty hours cannot coincide.

When Zhong Qing was disappointed, he still did not give up and asked him when he would take a rest.But he quickly remembered that Su Xi had just taken his monthly leave last week.He sighed, and the treat had to be postponed until the next month.

Su Xi still lives every day according to the rules.Waking up at a fixed time in the morning, walking the same road to work day after day, and returning to the rental house at night under the shadow of lights on the side of the road.

The hot pot restaurant closes on time at [-]:[-] p.m. After the store closed, the manager left all the employees behind and held a short meeting.Half an hour later, Su Xi changed out of his work uniform in the store, and left through the back door with his get off work card.

The lobster restaurant next door also has supper time at night, and it is a busy time when it is full.When passing by the back door of the lobster restaurant, Su Xi meets the chef brother who has finished his shift.

The chef brother holds a cigarette in one hand, and two boxes of packaged spicy crayfish in the other.When he looked up and saw him, he opened his mouth and said, "It's off work."

Su Xi nodded, and walked out of the alley side by side with the other party.

The chef brother put the unlit cigarette behind his ear, and asked him casually: "Where are you going to play after get off work?"

Su Xi looked at the road ahead: "Go home after get off work."

The chef brother let out a surprise, "For you young people, it's too early to go home, isn't it?" He squinted his eyes and gossiped, "Or is there a girlfriend waiting at home?"

Su Xi didn't speak.

"If you have a girlfriend waiting, you should go home early to coax her." The chef brother continued on his own, "The first girlfriend I got when I was young was because I got off work late and didn't have time. Accompany her, blow it."

Su Xi pursed his lips lightly, as if smiling, but also as if he didn't, "I don't have a girlfriend."

The big chef touched the tip of his nose when he heard the words, and said resentfully, "Since you don't have a girlfriend, why are you going home so early?"

Su Xi answered without hesitation, as if he had spent every day and night in the past according to the arrangement in his mouth, "Go home, take a shower, and then sleep."

The chef finally couldn't help but stopped in shock, and looked at him with a puzzled expression, "If I didn't see your face clearly when I came out, I probably really thought that the person walking next to me was an old man. Zhao is not you anymore."

Su Xi paused slightly, slightly confused, "Who is Old Zhao?"

"Old Zhao is the one who works with me." The chef brother shook his head, "He must be 50 years old this year. After getting married a few years ago, his son was born with congenital heart disease. My wife saw the reminder in the hospital. Fei Dan, without a word, left his son and Lao Zhao and ran away. In the end, his son couldn’t be saved. Over the years, he didn’t have any more partners, so he just made do with himself.”

"The last time I was chatting with him, I asked him what he usually does after work to pass the time, and he answered me just like you." The chef brother glanced at him again, "You young people, don't you all like to go to Do you drink and dance in the bar? Even when I go back from work, I have to watch TV with a snack and beer before going to bed. You don’t look like a young man like this.”

Su Xi didn't argue, but simply said: "Not every young person likes to go to bars."

Before the words fell, he caught a glimpse of the person beside him handing something over.With the sparse street lights above his head, he could see clearly that it was a box of crayfish.Su Xi was stunned for a second, and a faint question appeared in his eyes.

The big brother chef shook the packing bag in his hand, and called him slowly: "Xiao Su, do you like basketball?"

Su Xi heard the words, but he didn't know what to recall, and he hesitated for a second, "I used to like it, but I haven't played much in the past two years."

The chef brother nodded, expressing his understanding, "Young people still need to learn to find more entertainment for themselves after work, otherwise this life will be so sad." He pushed the packing bag into Su Xi's arms, "You go back and take a shower, eat some supper and watch a basketball game first, and then go to bed. I guarantee you that you will sleep better than the day before, and you will have some sweet dreams if you don't."

Su Xi looked at the other party in surprise.A second later, he hugged the box of crayfish and nodded slightly.But he thought vaguely in his heart, how long has it been since he had a sweet dream?In the past, he thought that Nie Jingze was his dream, but later he gradually admitted that he was probably daydreaming.
