Drop

Zuo Chi didn't have much hope for Sheng Li's words of not disturbing.He felt that people like Sheng Li would never learn to "know how to advance and retreat".But in the next month or so, Sheng Li did not appear in his sight, and he didn't send him many messages. The three messages he sent were very brief.One is "It's cold, remember to add clothes", and the other is "Pay attention to rest".

Another one is "Missing You".Zuo Chi happened to be holding his mobile phone to reply to the work group message, watching Sheng Li send it and then withdraw it.

Zuo Chi thought, it really doesn't look like his style.

Although they didn't meet each other, they were in the same circle, so it was impossible for him to completely block news about Sheng Li, not to mention that the two of them had many friends in common, so Sheng Li would always be mentioned.I don't know if some people really don't understand the entanglement between the two of them, or they deliberately want to test his reaction to satisfy their gossip.

"Hey, I haven't seen Sheng Li for a long time, what is he doing recently?"

Zuo Chi said, "I don't know."

"He has no contact with you? The last time he saw Zhang Xiaoyun, he said that Sheng Li was really mean, and he hadn't eaten or drank with them for several months. Even if he was busy with work, it wouldn't be to this extent. His father didn't Is it just his son, anyway, it’s all his, and no one is arguing with him, what is he doing so desperately.”

Zuo Chi didn't feel that Sheng Li's change was for himself, and he couldn't bear the responsibility: "Well, we haven't contacted for a long time, and I don't know."

Zuo Chi is also very busy. The new company has only just been established, and there are too many rules that need to be established and things that need to be rectified. He still has to worry about recruiting people, soliciting business, and negotiating cooperation. Although it is impossible to do everything by himself, he can rest assured. No more.

He was already walking forward, and he also wanted to try to accept Qin Xu.There are many Alphas around Zuo Chi, but he has never thought about developing with other Alphas other than being friends, so this is a new stage for him.It's a pity that work occupies most of the time in life, and there are not many opportunities for the two of them to get along.

Qin Xu would sometimes come to the company to wait for him to get off work, and the wait would last for two or three hours.Zuo Chi felt sorry, so he told him not to wait, and simply took some time to make an appointment to eat at a restaurant outside.But eating was just eating, Zuo Chi couldn't even make time to watch a movie, and he even took two work calls during the time spent eating.

Although Qin Xu said he didn't mind, Zuo Chi still felt a little sorry.Several times when Qin Xu shared his experience abroad with great interest, Zuo Chi didn't know what to do when the phone rang suddenly.

Qin Xu would say, "You answer the phone, it's fine."

But after the call is over, the previous topic is often forgotten, and the previous atmosphere cannot be regained.

But the company has not gained a firm foothold in the industry now, Zuo Chi can't afford to put down his work in order to develop a relationship.

The marriage contract between him and Qin Xu has been cancelled, but it has not been announced to the public, probably because the reason for the cancellation of the marriage contract is that Zuo Chi became independent from the Zuo family, and Zuo Yi felt that Zuo Chi's own family reflected from the side that he was incapable of teaching his children.

The cooperation between the Zuo family and the Qin family is still going on, but there is no marriage relationship in it, and this cooperation is full of uncertainties.

Zuo Chi still heard about the cooperation from Qin Xu, and since he separated from the Zuo family, he never paid attention to the Zuo family's developments.

Shu Qingyu called him twice and asked him if he was awake. She said, "It's too late to go home and admit your mistake. It will be too late for you to regret it after a while."

Just over the phone, Zuo Chi could associate her condescending expression with his tone.

Zuo Chi didn't want to say more to her: "No need. If I regret it, it's regret that I didn't leave this home that doesn't feel like home earlier."

Shu Qingyu was obviously not used to Zuo Chi talking to him like this, so he took a deep breath: "Zuo Chi, don't be ignorant, starting a company is not just playing tricks, it's not that easy."

It was precisely because it was not easy that Zuo Chi was more determined to make some achievements.He didn't do it for anyone to see, he wanted to prove it to himself.No matter what his Zuo Chi's second gender is, he can make a living by his skills.

Zuo Chi maintained a high-intensity work until the end of December. On Christmas Eve, it was rare to get off an early shift. Thinking that he hadn't seen Cheng Xiangwan for a long time, he asked Cheng Xiangwan out for dinner.

Cheng Xiangwan picked a small Southeast Asian restaurant. He arrived early, ordered a cup of Thai milk, and waited while drinking.

Zuo Chi followed the navigation around to find this restaurant. He parked his car, looked outside the glass door, and was stunned when he saw Cheng Xiangwan.

Cheng Xiangwan was wearing a white down jacket. His black hair was soft and he was biting a straw. He looked obedient and tender, like a student who had just graduated from high school.

He saw Zuo Chi through the glass and waved to him.

Zuo Chi walked over and sat down: "Did you order?"

"Happy Christmas Eve, long time no see." Cheng Xiangwan opened the menu, "Not yet, I thought that if you come later, the food will be cold if it is served early. The weather is really strange now. Wearing a sweater, I'm shivering from the cold today."

They discussed and selected five or six dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter, who smiled and gave them each a packaged apple.

Cheng Xiangwan weighed the apple in his hand: "Why don't you spend Christmas Eve with your boyfriend?"

Zuo Chi corrected: "Qin Xu is not my boyfriend yet."

Cheng Xiangwan: "It's been so long, you haven't confirmed the relationship yet?"

Zuo Chi: "Not too long."

Cheng Xiangwan looked innocent: "This time is enough time for me to meet, kiss, go to bed and break up."

Zuo Chi: "..."

Cheng Xiangwan asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Zuo Chi thought for a while: "He is very nice, gentle, considerate, tolerant, caring for others, and he is not stingy with praise, which can give people positive emotions."

"The evaluation is very high." Cheng Xiangwan held his face, "Aren't there any shortcomings?"

Zuo Chi shook his head, but couldn't think of it for a while: "I don't know."

Cheng Xiangwan said: "There is no perfect person in the world. There are several possibilities for you to think that he has no shortcomings. First, he is performing, creating an illusion of perfection..."

Zuo Chi: "Qin Xu is not like this kind of person."

"Yo, it's still maintained." Cheng Xiangwan teased, "I haven't finished yet. The first point is that even if he acts, it is difficult to perform perfectly. Second, you are blinded by emotions. I see your whole body Your heart is on work, probably not. Third, you don't know him well enough, which means that your relationship needs to go further."

Zuo Chi admired Cheng Xiangwan's analysis: "It's because I've been too busy with work recently."

"Based on your current situation, there is nothing wrong with putting work first." Cheng Xiangwan said, "But you can be more proactive. Even if you send two more messages at ordinary times, it is equivalent to sending a signal to him."

Zuo Chi thought about it, and wrote down what Cheng Xiangwan said.

The meal was very pleasant. After eating, they wandered aimlessly in the shopping mall to digest food, and said goodbye at the Christmas tree at the entrance of the shopping mall.

Zuo Chi drove the car and said that he would take him home, Cheng Xiangwan smiled: "Someone will pick me up."

Zuo Chi: "New boyfriend?"

"No. The half-blood I mentioned to you before." Cheng Xiangwan said, "Their school doesn't allow students to come out for Christmas Eve. He won't come out until after the bed check."

Zuo Chi was surprised: "Still a student?"

Cheng Xiangwan: "Well, yes, more than four years younger than me."

Zuo Chi didn't ask any more questions, and asked Cheng Xiangwan to let him know when he got home, and then drove home.

At the door of the house, Zuo Chi saw a gift box hanging on the doorknob.

There is a bouquet of flowers in the box, the wrapping paper is red, wrapped with beautiful black ribbons and star lights, in addition to the starry sky, there is an apple in the middle.

The orange light was on in the dim environment, which made Zuo Chi hesitate for a while before taking down the gift box.

Who sent it?

Zuo Chi had an answer in his heart.

After he took a shower, Qin Xu sent a voice call to wish him a happy Christmas Eve.

Qin Xu reported the itinerary: "I had dinner with Lao Qin and the others today, and after dinner, I went to the hospital to see Qin Rui."

Zuo Chi asked: "How is Qin Rui?"

Qin Xu: "The doctor said that the eye movement of a vegetative person is not a conscious behavior, but an instinctive nerve reaction. In fact, it cannot be used as a basis for him to wake up."

Zuo Chi sighed.

"But there is still some hope." Qin Xu turned to ask, "What about you? How are you doing today, did you eat any apples?"

Zuo Chi glanced at the two apples placed on the coffee table in the living room: "I went to dinner with my friends today. The Southeast Asian cuisine tastes good. The hot and sour mango shrimp is delicious. I can't eat any more without apples."

"That's it." Qin Xu smiled, "Actually, I was downstairs in your neighborhood, and I even carried a bag of apples. It's okay if I can't eat any more now, and I can eat it later."

"Ah." Zuo Chi said, "Then I'll come down now."

"No, I'll come up, just open the door." Qin Xu said.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rang.Zuo Chi opened the door, and Qin Xu stood outside the door, grabbed an apple from his pocket and gave it to Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi took it in doubt, thinking to himself: Isn't this bag of apples all for him?

"I wish you peace today." Qin Xu grabbed another apple and put it in Zuo Chi's palm, "I wish you peace tomorrow."

"I wish you peace every day." Qin Xu stuffed all the apples into Zuo Chi's arms.

"Thank you." Seeing Qin Xu wearing a gray-green thin trench coat, Zuo Chi asked, "Aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold, the heaters are turned on at home and in the car." Qin Xu said, "Then I won't disturb your rest."

"Um...wait a minute."

"what?"

Zuo Chi turned around and entered the living room, put the apple in his hand into the fruit basket, and took the apple that the restaurant waiter gave him today.

He handed the bright red apple to Qin Xu: "You too must be safe."

Qin Xu held the apple in his hand: "I'll eat it when I get home."

Zuo Chi: "Okay, I look very sweet."

Qin Xu repeated with a smile, "Well, you look very sweet."

"..." Zuo Chi realized that there was ambiguity, "I'm talking about apples!"

"I know." Qin Xu took out his phone and checked the time, "It's getting late, will you still work overtime tomorrow Saturday?"

"Not going to the company, but I have an appointment to discuss investment in the afternoon." Zuo Chi remembered what Cheng Xiangwan said, and said proactively, "I will go to the hospital in the morning. If you are free... come with me?"

Qin Xu said that he would accompany Zuo Chi to the hospital, but Zuo Chi was used to being independent, so he didn't call him when he went to the hospital.

"Available." Qin Xu said, "When are you going?"

Zuo Chi: "Go to the hospital at 08:30 in the morning. If you go late, there will be many people. Is it too early? If you can't get up, forget it."

"No problem." Qin Xu said, "Then I'll pick you up at eight o'clock?"

Zuo Chi: "Your home is closer to the hospital, let me pick you up."

Qin Xu was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile, "Okay."

After Qin Xu left, Zuo Chi remembered that they had stood at the door chatting for so long, he should actually let someone in for a drink.

He has washed and is not going to eat any more apples.When he put the apples in the refrigerator, his eyes rested on the individual beautifully wrapped apples.After struggling for a while, he unpacked the apples, then threw the apples into the bag and put them in the refrigerator together.

Apple is not wrong.
