Chen Xun was on a business trip suddenly, and Chu Ci had nothing to do.He cleaned the room, familiarized himself with the arrangement of items, changed the water for Candy Snow Mountain, and made a simple sandwich to fill his stomach.

Looking at the time, only half a day has passed.

Chu Ci didn't want to let himself be idle, so after a short nap, he took his camera and went out.

Today's weather is fine, not as gloomy as the day he just returned to China, with a blue sky, creamy clouds, and budding willow branches.Chu Ci looked at his phone, only to belatedly realize that it was the beginning of spring yesterday.

He was born and raised in S City, but because of premature birth, his health was not good when he was a child, and because of hereditary hypoglycemia, Chu Rong watched him closely, and the scope of activities was home and school, and the rest of the time he sat in the car watching the city.

After coming back after many years, Chu Ci can't tell whether the changes in S City are big or not.

It should be big.After all, he has changed, and Chen Xun is not what he used to be. Everyone's life is the epitome of the city.

Chu Ci stopped and walked on the streets in early spring, took the bus when he was tired, and then got off at a random stop, feeling as if he was on an adventure.

Unknowingly, he walked to the north gate of S University, a little thirsty, so he walked into the cafe where Chen Xun used to work.

Perhaps the winter vacation was not over yet, and there were only a few customers in the cafe. The clerk who ordered asked him what he wanted to drink, Chu Ci hesitated, and ordered a low-in American takeaway.

The busy figure of the young clerk reminded Chu Ci of Chen Xun. He was standing by the bar, and when he was a little distracted, he heard someone calling him.

Turning around, I saw a fat middle-aged man.

Chu Ci immediately recognized the other party as the owner of the coffee shop.

The boss obviously recognized him, and enthusiastically invited him to eat cake: "I remember you like cheese, right?"

Chu Ci refused, but said, "Thank you, you have a really good memory."

The boss laughed, brought the cake and walked to a table by the window.Chu Ci saw the Reserved sign on the table, and reminded, "Is someone making a reservation?"

"Reservation?" The boss gave him a strange look, "This seat is reserved for you."

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment: "Leave it for me?"

The boss opened the chair for him, "Didn't Chen Xun tell you?"

say what?

Chu Ci sat down and shook his head in confusion.

The boss ordered a cup of coffee himself, and sat across from Chuci, "When did you return to China? I said why Chen Xun suddenly asked me for the key two days ago. He must have brought you here."

The boss had an expression of "I knew it". Chu Ci remembered the signing of the contract in the cafe that day, nodded, and asked, "How did you know that I went abroad?"

"Also," Chu Ci pursed his lower lip, "Why is this seat reserved for me?"

The boss skipped his first question and turned the Reserved sign around.It was only then that Chu Ci discovered that there were words engraved on the back——

For CHUCI.

Connected together is ReservedforCHUCI.

Chuci's exclusive seat.

In an instant, Chu Ci's breathing almost stopped.

He tried his best to calm himself down, held the wooden sign in his hand, and touched the English letters on it with trembling fingers.

The groove is not smooth, and it feels a little thorny to the touch. The boss confirmed his guess: "Chen Xun should have carved this by himself."

Chu Ci clenched his lips, forcing back the surging emotions in his heart, his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

"He, why would he..."

The boss leaned back on the back of the chair and sighed: "It's a long story. After you go abroad, Chen Xun will not come to work with me. After about three or four years, my partner People withdrew their capital, and the cafe couldn’t keep going, so I thought about selling the store.”

"The day after the closing notice was posted, Chen Xun came to me and said that he was willing to pay for me to continue to open, and that he would not interfere with the business of the store. The only request was to let me vacate this table. , don’t let other guests sit.”

"Later, he came a few times and didn't stay long. He sat down and drank a cup of coffee and left. Once he left, when I was packing up, I saw this sign on the table. I didn't know until I saw your name. what's going on."

Chu Ci tried his best not to cry.

The boss almost made people cry when he saw it. He was in a hurry and hurriedly found paper for Chuci, and then slapped himself on the face in a gesture: "Ah, ah, look at my mouth."

Chu Ci laughed through tears: "It's okay, it's none of your business."

The boss comforted him, "But you're back now, it's good to be back. No matter how good it is abroad, it's not home, is it? You won't leave when you come back?"

Chu Ci nodded firmly: "I'm not leaving."

The boss laughed: "After that, I will come to drink coffee often, and you will definitely get free."

-

Chu Ci ate the cake and drank the coffee before leaving. On the way back, he laughed like a fool, his heart was swollen and almost bubbling.

He is so happy.

This mood lasted until he came home. He walked from the living room to the kitchen, and then from the kitchen to the balcony. He walked back and forth many times, and he never stopped laughing.

The mobile phone received an email reminder, and Chuci remembered that he had promised Professor Smith to return to school to give lectures to the freshmen. He turned on the computer and replied to the professor that he was very sorry and would not return to the United States for some reason.After thinking about it, he deleted "some reason" and said directly that he was married.

The professor replied quickly: [Allen, congratulations!This is really good news. I think you will be living in China for a long time. Don't worry about the lecture. I will contact other people.If you need work, I know quite a few people who I can introduce you to.wish you a happy wedding. 】

Chu Ci stared at the last line of the email, and couldn't help laughing again.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to find someone to share this joy with, and the first thing he thought of was Jason.

Jason thought that Chuci had a flash marriage with someone he just met, and was very surprised, "Allen, I really didn't expect you to have a flash marriage with someone. What does the other party look like? He must be very handsome."

Chu Ci didn't correct him, but said with a smile, "Very handsome."

"How did you meet?" Jason asked.

"Hmm..." Chu Ci dragged out his voice.

"Oh, I see!" I have to say that Jason's radar is very sharp in some aspects, "Did we meet during the photo shoot? That interview!"

Chu Ci stopped talking, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

Jason made no secret of his envy: "Why can't I meet such a romantic love?"

Chu Ci: "When you come back, maybe we will meet."

Jason's grandfather is Chinese. He has a quarter of Chinese descent and can speak a little Chinese. This is one of the reasons why Chu Ci had a good relationship with him at school.

Jason immediately agreed: "Wait for me, I will definitely find you."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ci opened the address book and scrolled down page by page. Except for the magazines he had worked with, his address book was full of unfamiliar classmates, and... his doctor.

Seeing those names, Chu Ci's good mood instantly fell to the bottom.

He locked the screen of his phone, walked to the sofa and lay down, covering his face with a cushion.

-

At night, Chu Ci couldn't resist calling Chen Xun.

During the few days when Chen Xun was away, they kept in touch by sending messages, but they couldn't send many messages a day.But Chen Xun would send him good night every night before going to bed.

Chu Ci didn't want to passively wait for that good night today.Because of what the coffee shop owner said, he couldn't wait to hear Chen Xun's voice.

The phone was dialed, and Chen Xun answered it after two rings.

"Chu Ci?" A deep and magnetic voice came over, "What's wrong?"

Chu Ci suddenly felt nervous and almost forgot the excuse he had thought up in advance.He cleared his throat and said hastily, "The laundry detergent at home... well, I've run out of it. I want to ask if there is any more. If not, I'll go to the supermarket to buy it."

On the other end, Chen Xun was silent for several seconds: "Also, it's in the cabinet under the bathroom sink."

"Oh, I'll go and see, don't hang up the phone yet."

Chu Ci walked into the bathroom and saw the laundry detergent under the cabinet.

"Have you found it?" Chen Xun asked.

"Yeah." Chu Ci said as he took out the laundry detergent.

After this topic ended, both of them were silent, but neither of them wanted to hang up the phone.Chu Ci clenched his phone tightly and searched the room blankly, looking for other topics to ask Chen Xun.

But the more anxious you are, the less you can find it.

"I……"

"you……"

He spoke at the same time, and paused at the same time, it was Chen Xun who asked first, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Chu Ci hurriedly said, "What about you?"

Chen Xun: "I'm going, I just finished the meeting."

This time in City B, in addition to renewing the agreement with the supplier, Liang Xiangcong made a connection, allowing Chen Xun to meet with several investors who were interested in DB.

Chu Ci said "oh", and heard someone calling Chen Xun's name, so he said, "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'm hanging up."

"Chu Ci." Chen Xun called him suddenly, and after a few seconds, the audio from behind him was not so noisy, as if he had changed to a quiet place.

"Chu Ci."

Hearing Chen Xun call his name again, Chu Ci obediently responded: "I'm here, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Chen Xun seemed to smile, "Go to bed early at night."

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy, I'll wait for you." Chu Ci didn't think much, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that the words were ambiguous.

Chen Xun is on a business trip, why is he waiting?

This time Chen Xun's laughter became more obvious, "What are you waiting for me?"

Chu Ci's ears were a little hot, and he was always embarrassed to tell Chen Xun that he wanted to wait for his good night.

Chen Xun didn't really want him to answer, he knew that Chu Ci was not teasing now, so he changed the subject without a trace: "Tell me if you don't have anything at home, I'll go buy it."

"It's okay, I just want to go out for a walk." Chu Ci said.

Chen Xun followed his words and asked, "Where have you been these two days?"

Chu Ci mentioned a few places, but for some reason, he didn't tell Chen Xun that he went to the cafe.

Afraid of delaying Chen Xun's dinner, Chu Ci could only say, "Hurry up and eat."

Chen Xun hummed in a low voice.

It was probably his tone that gave Chu Ci courage, and Chu Ci asked, "When will you... go home?"

Chen Xun closed his eyes, wantonly thinking about Chu Ci's current appearance, his movements, his expressions, his face.Chen Xun said, "Soon, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

In fact, he wished he could go back immediately, seeing Chu Ci now.

Chen Xun waited for Chuci to hang up the phone first, held the phone, saw the call duration of 4 minutes and 36 seconds on the screen, and thought this was a good start.

He put away his mobile phone, walked through the hotel lobby, and met Liang Xiangcong who was waiting at the door.

Seeing Chen Xun's smug face, Liang Xiangcong probably guessed that it was Chu Ci who called him, but he still couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

Chen Xun was waiting for his words, and said with a smile, "My wife."

The author says:

Liang Xiangcong: I owe you, I deserve it.

I wish the little cuties a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and the comments will drop surprises, I love you——
