?It's so late, what can you do for me? "

He only heard the whistling sound of the wind on Li Chen's phone, and he said loudly, "Zhou Zhen, I'm in City S today, and I want to invite you out for dinner."

Zhou Zhen glanced at the alarm clock next to the bed, it was already nine o'clock, he had already taken a shower and was about to lie on the bed and play games, so he said, "It's too late today, next time."

However, Li Chen became anxious after hearing this, and then hid in an ATM machine room, pretending to be helpless and complaining bitterly to Zhou Zhen: "I just came out from a client, and it seems that I am returning home tonight." Don't go, I don't know the place here, and I only know you."

Li Chen's words reminded Zhou Zhen that every time he went on a business trip to do an audit, sometimes he went to those remote places where he couldn't even use navigation. Thinking of this, he thought that the other party was in the same situation now, He couldn't help feeling a little sympathy, so he softened his heart, and said, "Where are you now? I'll come and find you."

After hearing this, Li Chen immediately grinned silently, and then pretended to be serious and continued: "I'm near Huadan Road on Huayuan Road."

"Okay, don't leave there, I'll be there in a while, hang up." Zhou Zhen immediately took off his pajamas, put on a casual sportswear and ran out.

Tonight, the stars are changing, and the stream clouds in the night sky are continuously pushed forward by the evening wind, like a continuous veil gently holding up the dark blue sky, as if flying to the boundless sky with the night.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Zhou Zhen trotted all the way to this road after getting out of the car, but it was so convenient for him to find Li Chen, and he could see this man in a suit standing next to the ATM machine from a long distance away. Standing there like a door god, it is estimated that those who want to get money will not dare to go forward to do business.

"I'm sorry for calling you out so late." Li Chen saw that Zhou Zhen was panting after running away, with thin sweat dripping from his forehead, so he took out a handkerchief and gave it to Zhou Zhen.

"No, thank you." Zhou Zhen took a look at the dark coffee-colored check handkerchief, the pattern and design, as well as the glossiness of the fabric, he knew it must be expensive at a glance, he didn't even want to touch it. When I came out late, I just wanted to have a meal with the other party, and then go home as soon as possible.

Seeing Zhou Zhen's refusal, Li Chen was a little discouraged, but now that he has been successfully asked out, the next thing will be much easier, and then he suggested: "What good food is there around here?" It's so late, are the shops still open?"

Zhou Zhen didn't expect that the store would be closed, so he glanced at the time on his phone, it was almost 10 o'clock.

"I don't know if there are 24-hour profitable stores like KFC and McDonald's nearby. Why don't you search the mobile app to see what you want to eat nearby?" Zhou Zhen looked up at Li Chen suspiciously.

"I've searched, and there really aren't any shops around here, only a Lanzhou Ramen and a convenience store." Li Chen had already searched the Internet before calling Zhou Zhen. This place is relatively remote, and there are many residential areas around, with commercial buildings. Very few, there are only supermarkets and vegetable markets nearby, and basically no snack restaurants.

"Why did you come to such a remote place today?" Zhou Zhen looked at the other party suspiciously, only to see Li Chen's face showing embarrassment: "I don't want to be like this either. Invited me to come here directly."

"There's nothing to eat around here, let's eat somewhere else. By the way, which hotel are you staying in? Just go back to the hotel and eat." Zhou Zhen suddenly suggested.

Li Chen shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I originally wanted to fly back that day, so I didn't book a hotel, but I didn't expect the boss to make me wait so long today, so I just..."

Zhou Zhen looked at Li Chen with pity, and then said helplessly: "Forget it, you come with me, I will take you to eat first, and then find a hotel."

"I'm sorry, I'll trouble you then, thank you."

The two hailed a taxi, and Zhou Zhen asked the driver to drive to the urban area. Along the way, he bowed his head and kept his eyes fixed on the phone screen. Li Chen really wanted to chat with him, but seeing the other party's lifeless He looked like no one to enter, so he hesitated, but in the end he didn't disturb the other party, but only looked at Zhou Zhen from time to time, observing the other party's every move.

The night wind blows on the body, and there is always a chill on the body. After the two got out of the car, Zhou Zhen walked in the front. He reached out and touched his neck, feeling a little chilly, so he put on the hood of the sweater , Li Chen followed behind him and noticed this movement, so he quickly followed and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Ah? I'm fine. Look, there's a McDonald's in front of you. Why don't you go and eat something first?" Zhou Zhen pointed not far ahead.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Okay, this is the one."

After the two entered the McDonald's, they found that there was no customer in the store except the homeless man. Several homeless men looked at them in unison after seeing the two entering the store; Zhou Zhen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the homeless man. , then subconsciously leaned on Li Chen, Li Chen took advantage of the situation and hooked the other's shoulder, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhou Zhen didn't answer, just nodded lightly, and then the two went to the counter to order food, only to hear Li Chen finally say to the waiter: "Take away all troubles, thank you."

"Where are you packing to eat?" Zhou Zhen looked at him in surprise.

Li Chen smiled without saying a word, and reached out to touch Zhou Zhen's head.

At this time, a homeless man was walking towards Zhou Zhen without a sound, then took out a broken soda can from his pocket, and then shook the can vigorously, the change in the can made a tinkling sound.Zhou Zhen was startled by the voice behind him, and his body trembled slightly because of fright. Li Chen hurriedly pulled him behind him, and then looked at the homeless man indifferently.

The waiter at the counter hurriedly said after seeing this: "You can rest inside, but please don't disturb others."

The homeless glanced sadly at his dirty hands and the broken soda can in his hand, then turned and returned to the corner seat.

Zhou Zhen felt that the other party looked pitiful, so he bought some hamburgers and asked the waiter to distribute them to the homeless people hiding in the corner seats of the store before leaving.

In the middle of the night, pedestrians were passing by in twos and threes. Li Chen and Zhou Zhen were walking under the moonlight with hamburgers and Coke in their hands.

"Aren't you afraid of them?" Li Chen asked Zhou Zhen who was drinking a Coke while eating a hamburger.

"I'm not afraid of them, I was just surprised just now. They're not bad people, they're just poor people."

It was the first time Li Chen heard someone comment on homeless people like this, and he continued, "Then why did you look at them nervously as soon as you entered the store? I thought you were afraid of them coming over."

"That's because I'm not used to strangers looking at me that way, and you're next to me, I'm more nervous when I see them looking at you." Zhou Zhen explained.

After hearing this, Li Chen smiled and said, "So that's how it is." After speaking, his hand touched Zhou Zhen's head again, only to hear Zhou Zhen raise his head and shout: "Don't touch it, eat it quickly, there is still time to eat." See if there is any vacancy for you at the express hotel in front."

Under the moonlight, they shuttled through the streets of the urban area. At this time, the shops on both sides of the street were basically closed, leaving only a few shops along the street that were still open; A white moth is flying around the lampshade, circling around it constantly. The white moths seem to succumb to their own nature and rush towards the "flame" that will not burn it out without hesitation, persistently chasing the light in their eyes.

"Hello, do you have any vacancies here?" Zhou Zhen asked the hotel front desk politely, and the front desk said, "Wait a minute, I'll check the system."

Li Chen waited silently, leaning against the wall with a trace of exhaustion in his eyes.

"Sorry sir, our guest rooms are full." said the front desk clerk.

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Zhen and Li Chen had already left two hotels. This was the third hotel, and it was still full. Zhou Zhen checked the time, and it was almost midnight. Li Chen, who was at the side, found that the other party was standing beside him sleeping with his eyes closed!

"Li Chen, let's go, there's nothing here." Zhou Zhen called out in a low voice.

"Ah, oh." Li Chen was indeed a little tired, he didn't expect to have such a toss tonight, if he had known, he wouldn't have asked Zhou Zhen to come out and suffer with him.

Zhou Zhen planned to go to work and get up early the next day. If he couldn't find a hotel now, he would probably spend the night in McDonald's like a homeless man. He thought about it, and then said: "What time is your flight tomorrow?" go back?"

"The flight has been changed in the afternoon, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I think it's not easy to find a hotel at this point, I was thinking..." Zhou Zhen suddenly had an idea, but he didn't dare to say it.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Chen asked him with a yawn. Seeing that the other party was already so sleepy, Zhou Zhen let go of his hesitation and said, "You might as well just sleep at my place tonight."

"What!" Li Chen originally thought that today was particularly melancholy, and he had been tossing so late because of an unpunctual rich boss, and even hired Zhou Zhen in, but now he found that he should thank this boss, and he decided to give it to him when he went back. The other party has a big discount.

"I can't walk anymore, and I think you're about to die too. You can sleep at my house tonight. Anyway, I live alone, and there is enough room."

Li Chen couldn't help snickering behind Zhou Zhen. On the empty road, only
