You will also meet him in Uncle Guang's restaurant.

Wei Qidong seems to be busy with something during the day, not in the rented house, but he often goes to Uncle Guang's restaurant for lunch at noon.

Uncle Guang is very good at cooking and has multiple identities as chef, boss, and cashier.Jiang Xiaoxi can do everything, but he is mainly a waiter. When Uncle Guang is busy, he will also start cooking.

Every time Wei Qidong came, he didn't make a sound, chose a corner table to sit down, ordered two dishes and a bowl of rice, and ate cleanly.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Xiaoxi saw Wei Qidong who was sitting in the corner again, and stepped forward to greet him.

"I want to eat eggplant and egg noodles today." Wei Qidong held the menu, but looked at Jiang Xiaoxi.The other party was wearing an ordinary sweater and a light blue apron, with fluffy hair and slender fingers holding a pen.

Everything looks good!

Jiang Xiaoxi frowned slightly: "Not this."

"Then let's have beef sauce!"

"nor."

Jiang Xiaoxi tapped the menu on the table with a pen, motioning him to look at it.

Wei Qidong finally shifted his eyes from Jiang Xiaoxi to the menu, and ordered the same two dishes as yesterday.It is two cold dishes, chopped pepper preserved egg and tomato mixed with sugar.

These two dishes were made by Jiang Xiaoxi.Under normal circumstances, Uncle Guang is in charge of making big dishes, and Jiang Xiaoxi cooks cold dishes and the like.As soon as Wei Qidong tasted it, he knew that he made it. He put too much chopped pepper and sugar.

Apart from ordering food, Wei Qidong didn't talk to Jiang Xiaoxi anymore. He finished his meal quietly and left soon.

There are few customers in the restaurant today, and the last table left quickly.Uncle Guang came out with a small fried fish and sat down with Xiaoxi for lunch.Jiang Xiaoxi's face turned ruddy after a busy morning's stomach was properly taken care of.

"I heard from them that we are going to develop here, do you know?" Uncle Guang chatted.

Jiang Xiaoxi shook his head.

They have lived in Duoyu Island for so many years, and such a good thing as development has never happened to them. Although there have been rumors recently, they have not attracted much attention.

"I've heard that too, but I don't know if it's true or not. But we have beautiful scenery here, and if we spend a lot of money to develop it, it's also a good place for vacation." Uncle Guang was optimistic about the future, "If the island becomes lively at that time, young people will also Don’t just think about going out and wandering.”

Jiang Xiaoxi swallowed a mouthful of fried fish and whispered, "It's pretty good on the island."

"Yes, anywhere is better than being in your own home." Uncle Guang filled a bowl full of shredded chicken porridge, pushed it towards the creek, hesitated, and then asked, "Big fish...have been with you for so long Are you still ignoring him?"

When Jiang Xiaoxi went to the capital to look for big fish, Uncle Guang didn't know what happened outside, but when Xiaoxi first came back, he was really in a bad state. Children suffer a lot outside.

After coming back for more than two months, I saw Jiang Xiaoxi slowly recovering, but I didn't expect Big Yu to come back with him, and I rented the house opposite.

"Hey, I think he is not the same as before, his whole temperament has changed, but the way he looks at you is still the same as before." Uncle Guang said, watching Jiang Xiaoxi drink the porridge slowly, refusing to answer, knowing Some things are useless to talk too much, so I stopped talking.

There were no guests at night, so Uncle Guang sent Jiang Xiaoxi home early to rest.

On the way home from the restaurant, there is only one dim street lamp, bringing with it the unique tranquility of Duoyu Island.Jiang Xiaoxi stood under the street lamp, looking up at the halo under the lampshade in a daze.A few bugs flew around the light, making crackling and colliding sounds.

Whether it was intentional or by chance, Wei Qidong squeezed into Jiang Xiaoxi's life again in another way.

Not as scared as when we first met, but tired.

I don't know what's waiting for me next time, I don't want to think, and I don't want to inquire, Jiang Xiaoxi just wants to go back to the past quietly, back to the life without Jiang Dayu or Wei Qidong.

Wei Qidong stood not far from the light, silently looking at the people under the light.

He was so thin and fragile, he looked more fragile than a light pole, and he didn't know if he had eaten dinner, if he would be cold if he wore so little clothes, and if he would still have nightmares at night.

Jiang Xiaoxi didn't hide, and walked up to meet it.

He can't always hide, there is only one way to go home, this way he bought with his life, he will never compromise with anyone again.

Wei Qidong turned his body slightly, and took a lot of effort to restrain the urge to pull him into his arms, and let Jiang Xiaoxi pass by.The moment they rubbed shoulders, the pleasant and clean breath that belonged exclusively to Jiang Xiaoxi made people tremble in their fingers.

"Xiaoxi, the weather forecast says there will be strong winds tonight, so you sleep and close the doors and windows." Wei Qidong said.

Jiang Xiaoxi didn't look back, opened the door and walked into the yard, and immediately there was another sound of locking.

Wei Qidong stood at the door for a long time before turning around and returning to the house.

Jiang Xiaoxi was awakened by the sound on the roof.

The wind was very strong, whistling, knocking on the doors and windows, making a rumbling sound.Jiang Xiaoxi was sweating and his heart was beating fast. He guessed that the felt cloth on the roof had been scraped away. If it was blown away, the house might be flooded by torrential rain.

He shook his hands to turn on the light, but couldn't turn it on even after pulling the switch a few times, only then did he belatedly realize that there was a power outage.He wanted to call Xiao Chuan again, but suddenly remembered that Xiao Chuan had gone to Yuncheng to participate in the winter camp, and Jiang Xiaoxi had signed up for it himself.

All in all, it was a mess, and he couldn't figure it out in his head.I hid in the house for a while, gritted my teeth, put on my clothes, took out the flashlight, and walked out of the room.

As soon as he reached the terrace, he was staggered by the blow.It was dark all around, and the entire Duoyu Island was caught in a dark and howling wind. Nature was going crazy, as if the entire island could be torn apart in the next second.

Holding a flashlight in one hand, he walked along the stairs and slowly climbed up to the roof to pull the felt cloth that was blown wildly in the air.

The felt cloth was too heavy and the wind was too strong. It was almost wishful thinking for Jiang Xiaoxi to pull it back to its original position by himself.

Jiang Xiaoxi gritted her teeth to grab the rope, her feet slipped, the feeling of weightlessness didn't have time to reach her brain, and she fell into a hard embrace.

"Leave it alone, we'll talk about it tomorrow." A voice came from behind, steady and hot.Wei Qidong firmly held his chest and abdomen with one hand, and firmly supported the railing with the other hand, and retreated with him in his arms.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoxi didn't care much, so he didn't dare to move, followed Wei Qidong's strength and walked down together, and finally retreated to the corridor on the second floor without any danger.

The bedroom door was blown open by the wind, and Jiang Xiaoxi's whole body tensed up for a moment.Wei Qidong let go of him, stepped forward to close the door, went to the storage room at the end of the corridor and took out a long lock, inserted the bolt from the outside and locked it, all in one go.

"Go to my place first tonight, you can't stay here." Wei Qidong kept an arm's distance from Jiang Xiaoxi, and immediately let go after he hugged Jiang Xiaoxi from the roof. Like an ordinary neighbor again, it looks like it's just a normal neighbor providing help.

Jiang Xiaoxi didn't speak, he was startled and tired, and now he had to deal with Wei Qidong, he looked bewildered.

"I have a backup generator there, so it won't be too dark." He looked up at the sky and said, "It looks like it will blow all night, and there will be heavy rain in the second half of the night. You can't stay at home alone."

He took a step forward, stretched out his hand in the air, and said anxiously: "I can go to the next room, and I promise not to disturb you. I will never force you to do things you don't like, things you don't want to do. Xiaoxi, you Don't be so stubborn, just listen to me tonight, okay?"

Wei Qidong brought some begging kimonos that he couldn't hear himself, and only hoped that Jiang Xiaoxi would go back with him quickly.It's windy and cold right now, and he's afraid that Jiang Xiaoxi will get sick if this continues.

As if to cooperate with Wei Qidong, a window in the bedroom shattered with a bang, and the broken glass rolled to the ground, which startled Jiang Xiaoxi.Wei Qidong didn't care about anything else, he stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xiaoxi's arm, urging: "Hurry up, let's go there first."

Now is not the time to be brave, Jiang Xiaoxi didn't struggle anymore, and followed Wei Qidong to the private house he rented.

The neighbor's old house is even older, with dull exterior walls, rusty corridors and stair railings, and old stains in the corners that are hard to remove.Although it can be seen that it has been carefully cleaned, the living environment is still terrible, and I don't know how a pampered person like Wei Qidong endured it.

The bedroom was very clean and simply furnished, with only a bed, a cabinet and a sofa for one person.Jiang Xiaoxi sat on the sofa, looking at the dim yellow halo of light from a floor lamp standing beside the bed.

This light blocked the howling wind and panic outside.

Wei Qidong kept his promise, and after bringing Jiang Xiaoxi into the bedroom, he went to the next room by himself.Hearing Jiang Xiaoxi's sound of locking the door, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, just said "good night" normally, and left.

Jiang Xiaoxi curled up on the sofa, inevitably thinking about the past.

That seemed to be a long time ago. In order to save money, Big Yu repaired the house by himself, spread felt cloth on the roof, and fell from there protecting Jiang Xiaoxi.

It seemed that the temperature of the big fish's blood still remained on the palm, which was painful and hot.From then on, he stubbornly believed that the big fish was dead.

However, the arm that hugged him on the roof just now was calm and powerful, exactly the same temperature as the big fish.

"Big fish..." Jiang Xiaoxi muttered to himself, shook his head, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Separated by a wall, within reach, Wei Qidong's heartbeat finally stabilized.

He was not as calm as he looked on the surface, and today he really hugged him into his arms again. At that moment, he mobilized all his energy to suppress his crazy and restless heartbeat.Xiaoxi was still attached to his chest, and he was afraid that his heartbeat would also disturb the other party.

He didn't sleep all night, listening to the wind outside and the movement on the other side.After the power outage, he didn't even think about it. By the time he realized it, he had already climbed over the courtyard wall from the railing on the second floor and jumped into the opposite courtyard.He watched Jiang Xiaoxi go up to the roof, and immediately followed. Fortunately, he arrived in time so no one was hurt.

After drinking a cup of hot water to relieve the fatigue caused by the high tension, Wei Qidong threw a cushion on the ground and sat down against the wall.On the other side of the wall was the person he was thinking of, who might have fallen asleep, or might be as sleepless as him.

One day, he will knock down all the gullies and barriers between the two.

He secretly swore that no matter how long it takes, no matter how much it costs.
