Middle-aged Love Patch

After Xu Youyuan sent the WeChat message, she realized that it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. She was so tired after going through the customs today, and even scooped up water for a long time. Shi Yue should be very tired, so she shouldn't bother her.

Apologize to her tomorrow.

Xu Youyuan has a small amount of money in her hand, and plans to buy a water heater for herself first, because without a water heater in this weather, people will freeze to death.

Nowadays, all major online business platforms have 24-hour delivery, and there is one-hour fast delivery service in first- and second-tier cities. Even if you place an order for a water heater at [-] o'clock at night, Xu Youyuan can enjoy a hot bath before dawn.

It is estimated that the average speed of online shopping in the past was two to three days to receive the express delivery to the children today. They must not believe that who would spend such a long time waiting for a package.And their generation really came here like this, not to mention that they didn't even have online shopping earlier.

It cost 2500RMB to buy a water heater, and Xu Youyuan chose the one with the highest cost performance and the best after-sales service among all the brands.

The previous water heater was not lost, and she also held down a month's rent with the landlord.If she wants to leave here one day, she will take the new water heater with her when she leaves.She planned to continue repairing this one that was always sparking, and went to the second-hand market tomorrow to find a thermostat.

After taking a hot bath, I also washed Ah Shuang who had been dirty for a long time.

Ah Shuang has been very obedient since she was a child in the bath, she used to wait for the bath worker Xu Youyuan to massage her as soon as she lay down in the bathtub.Now there is no bathtub, but I can still sit honestly, let him raise his paws when he raises his paws, and let him close his mouth when he closes his mouth.

When Xu Youyuan washed off the foam for it, seeing the sharp contrast between its honest and dignified figure and the dilapidated tiles behind it, it was a down-and-out young master.

Xu Youyuan dried it with a soft towel, dried its fur, patted it and said, "Let's go! Pick a can for you!"

One person and one dog nestled on the small sofa, Xu Youyuan picked out canned food for Ah Shuang with the computer in her arms, Ah Shuang snorted against her and rolled her eyes in sleep.

After Xu Youyuan bought the canned food, she pulled the thick blanket over, not wanting to disturb Ah Shuang's sweet dreams, so she slept on the sofa with it.

The house in Juheyuan is broken, and the heating is not enough. It is not too cold to sleep in the living room all night. It is probably because the living room and the bedroom are about the same size.

Xu Youyuan slept until dawn when she was woken up by the hungry A Shuang.

Xu Youyuan looked at her mobile phone, there were a bunch of push notifications from apps, and there was also a delivery reminder. The canned dog food had already been placed in the express cabinet in the corridor on the floor, waiting for her to pick it up.

In a pile of junk messages, I found the WeChat reply from Shiyue:

"Suddenly it's so nice, invite me to dinner. Okay, I won't eat breakfast or lunch, I'll wait for your dinner. What time will you meet at night?"

Shi Yue's voice rose all the way, it sounded very happy, which made Xu Youyuan feel better, and couldn't help but listen to it again when opening the express cabinet.

After returning home to feed Ah Shuang, Xu Youyuan replied to Shi Yue:

"I don't know your taste, we will eat whatever you like."

Today, the little assistant didn't come because she asked for leave, so Xu Youyuan went to the kitchen to dig out half a bag of dried noodles and an egg, and cooked a bowl of delicious noodles for herself.

Bringing the noodles to the coffee table, Shi Yue replied:

"Whatever you like to eat, I will eat whatever you like."

Shi Yue stood in the corridor of the company and made this voice, still holding the notebook in her hand. After sending it with a smile, she turned around and found Little Teddy standing behind her, which shocked her.

Shi Yue: "What are you doing here?"

Little Teddy: "I've been here for a long time, you didn't hear me when I called you just now."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Huang said that there is a batch of funds that you haven't approved yet, let me come over and ask you."

"Oh I know, you sent him to my office."

"okay!"

Little Teddy walked two steps, turned back with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Boss, you are so beautiful today. You have a different kind of brilliance. It can be seen that you are in a good mood recently."

Shi Yue: "...Thank you."

Little Teddy ran away in a hurry, Shi Yue looked at her own reflection in the glass, recalled the expression on the WeChat reply to Xu Youyuan just now, and replayed it, her smile was obviously full of spring.

Couldn't she have heard what she said just now...

Shi Yue felt that she had to correct her attitude in the company next time. Originally, a group of people tended to be restless when they saw her young.

She decided to put away her smile in the company and become a cold and domineering president.

After returning to the office and just sitting down, Xu Youyuan's reply came with Mr. Huang.

Xu Youyuan has always sent text messages, but this time she sent a voice message for the first time.

Mr. Huang has already sat on the chair opposite her, waiting for her to speak.

Shi Yue wanted to reply to Xu Youyuan later, but didn't want her to wait, and was even more anxious to know what Xu Youyuan replied.

Three seconds of voice, what could it be?

Wouldn't it be just perfunctory her?

Seriously looking at Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang was a little nervous seeing her like this, and felt that the boss seemed to be in a bad mood, and the payment was not approved. Is there any trouble?

Shi Yue clicked on the voice, put the phone to her ear, her whole face looked as if she was listening to some bad news.

Xu Youyuan's voice is very close, and she should be very close to the microphone when speaking, so she can clearly hear her breath:

"Why is our Xiaoyue so obedient?"

After Shi Yue finished listening, she locked the phone screen, put it on the table, leaned on her forehead, and lowered her head.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Huang was really nervous: "Boss, what happened?"

Shi Yue digested it for a long time, and finally suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth and the crazy little deer in her heart, regained the expression of the cold-faced president, and frowned: "There are a few things you need to do for me... "

An hour later, Mr. Huang left. After Shi Yue saw that he had completely closed the office door, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a 4D emoticon to Xu Youyuan, along with a series of voice messages.

Xu Xiaoyuan was having a holographic video conference with the food game team when Shiyue's WeChat came in.

Someone happened to be looking for data, so Xu Youyuan clicked on WeChat, and a little milk dog emoji popped out from the phone screen, licking Xu Youyuan's wrist.

Xu Youyuan couldn't bear this kind of high-profile 4D expression, only children would like it, but the person who was talking to her at this moment was really a child.

Xu Youyuan smiled apologetically at her colleagues, put on the earphones she had prepared early in the morning, and listened to Shiyue:

"When will I be misbehaved? You invited me to dinner and asked me to use my brain. They say that I will eat whatever you like, so make up your mind! I will wait for you to show me the world tonight .”

The meeting on Xu Youyuan's side continued, so she could only quickly reply with the word "yes".

Shi Yue stared at the phone screen, waiting for such a word for a long time, a little discouraged.

What is Xu Youyuan busy with?

During the next hour and a half when Xu Youyuan didn't reply, she didn't decide where to have dinner, and what time to meet, Shi Yue was a little absent-minded in everything she did, as if she had returned to the days when she was a student waiting for her final grades.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Youyuan finally came back to life, and even applied for a video chat.

Seeing the invitation to video chat, Shi Yue's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders and chopping her feet in the office by herself.

But she didn't click "OK" and switched to voice when the video application was about to hang up automatically.

"Huh? Are you busy?" Xu Youyuan was about to hang up, but she got connected, even though it wasn't a video.

"It's a little." I don't know if it was Xu Youyuan's illusion, but Shi Yue's voice sounded a little cold.

"Are you busy or angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

"There was a sudden meeting just now, so I couldn't confirm with you in time. I asked my young colleagues, and they recommended a few online celebrity restaurants that eat barbecue. I don't know if you would like them. There are also a few creative dishes , I’ve written them all down, and I’m waiting to pick them for you.”

Shi Yue didn't expect Xu Youyuan to choose so carefully, it seems that she really attaches great importance to tonight's date.

Whatever, it's a date.

Shi Yue didn't intend to embarrass Xu Xiaoyuan again: "Then let's eat barbecue. What time? Send me your location."

Xu Youyuan sent the location: "It doesn't matter what time it is, let's see when you can arrive, and I can leave whenever the meeting is over."

Shi Yue wanted to say "Let's go now", but reason still held her back, and she couldn't be so anxious and so proactive.

"I get off work at six o'clock." Shi Yue said, "I try to go as far as possible, and if there are no special circumstances, I will arrive at 7:[-]."

"Row."

"Then contact you when you get off work and tell you if you can get off work on time."

"Okay. Then I'll hang up first."

Shi Yue said "Hey?", not letting her hang up so quickly: "You said you were in a meeting, and there were colleagues? You went to work again?"

"There is no hope for the time being. Liu Feng also said last time that I am now a potential criminal in the eyes of my colleagues. Who would take the risk of taking me?"

Shi Yue: "You are not."

"Hmm... Haha, thank you for believing in me, but others don't. But I have a good friend who gave me the opportunity to make a game, but it's not ready yet. Today I'm talking about other games thing."

"What game? May I know?"

"A gourmet game is still in the discussion stage."

Shi Yue knew that this was a commercial secret, she shouldn't ask, but she just wanted to tease Xu Youyuan, and wanted to see how much Xu Youyuan trusted her.

She felt that Xu Youyuan would not talk, even so Shi Yue wanted to know what topic she would use to get around.

Xu Youyuan is indeed an old Jianghu, and she told her a concept, which was not considered perfunctory, nor did she disclose commercial secrets.

Xu Youyuan followed up: "How is it? Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Shi Yue: "Okay, I'm quite satisfied."

The routine Xu Youyuan has done so many times, has Xu Youyuan already summed up a set of experiences in her heart?Or……

Recalling what Xu Youyuan said earlier, when Liu Feng found fault in The Paper Plaza, she thought Xu Youyuan hadn't seen her, but Xu Youyuan had already seen her.

Maybe Xu Youyuan has seen through many things long ago, but she just kept them in her heart and didn't say anything?

"Satisfied." Shi Yue was indeed satisfied.

"Okay, go to work quickly and try to get off work on time." Xu Youyuan wanted to end the call again.

Shi Yue didn't want to pester her anymore, so she had to hang up reluctantly.

Putting down the phone, Shi Yue opened the closet, and found that all the clothes prepared inside were work clothes, one row of dark blue and one row of all black, it was so serious that she choked when she saw it.

Fortunately, there is still some time, and there is still time to go to The Paper to buy a suit of clothes.

Shi Yue looked at the work log, quickly went to various departments to explain some things, and then left the company with her bag on her back.

I went to Surging Plaza and bought the most popular army green long silk jacket, matched it with a short skirt, and wore short boots with bare legs, so I didn’t feel cold at all.

Bought a can of cream gray hair dye spray and star effect spray, tossing in the bathroom by herself, the effect of the two sprays stacked together was exactly as she imagined.

It must be an element that Xu Youyuan would like, at least kind and not annoying.

Shi Yue was a calmly dressed office worker when he entered the surging square, but when he came out, he was completely transformed into a fashionable girl with every detail shining from top to bottom.

This was Xu Youyuan's first date with her, and it could be said to be a very memorable first date between the two of them, so she naturally had to go all out.

Shiyue was in a very good mood, deliberately replaced the automatic driving system with manual operation, turned on the music, played the latest and most popular love songs, and hummed along the way to the destination.

This barbecue restaurant is an online celebrity restaurant. Shi Yue had heard about Little Teddy and the others before, but she had never been there.

When flipping through short videos on the Internet, nine out of ten Internet celebrities have visited this store to check in.

The barbecue in this restaurant is generous and delicious, and the waiters are all muscular men in vests.

An nerd like Xu Youyuan basically would not choose to come to such a lively place, it seems that she did do some homework in order to get closer to young people.

Thinking of this, Shi Yue is even more satisfied.

Shi Yue purposely hung the 3D printed figurine that Xu Youyuan gave her last time on the keychain of the car, parked the car at the place, and walked upstairs bumping.

As soon as she entered the store, she saw Xu Youyuan sitting in the corner, wearing a very ordinary light and simple hoodie, and she didn't prepare anything carefully for this date at all.

When Xu Youyuan saw Shi Yue and waved to her, she was slightly taken aback.

"Why are you looking at me with such eyes?" Shi Yue smiled at Xu Youyuan when she sat down.

"Little ghost has a lot of things on his mind. He is dressed so nicely. Does he want to make his sister look more old-fashioned?"

"Where are you from? Know how to choose this kind of online celebrity restaurant for dinner, and keep up with the trend of the times."

Xu Youyuan smiled and turned the ordering screen to Shi Yue: "Look at what you want to eat, order whatever you want, don't be polite to me."

"That's definitely not polite to you. It's hard to get the chance to treat you, right? But didn't you keep telling me not to spend money indiscriminately? You just started working on the project again, and the money hasn't arrived yet, right? Let's start the treat Have you eaten? The per capita cost here is at least 800, which is a bit extravagant, old Xu."

"Who are you calling Lao Xu? I won't beat you to the house for a few days, right? Last time you were a treat for dinner, and I haven't had time to thank you. I'll eat meat today, and I'll take you with me when my sister earns money. Go out and play."

Shi Yue immediately took out her mobile phone and said to Xu Youyuan, "Say what you just said again."

Xu Youyuan was amused by her: "What's the matter? You haven't recorded enough screens in the game, and you still need to record when you have a meal?"

"I'm afraid that what you said will not be fulfilled. Now I feel that I am obedient and want to take me to play. Maybe I will regret it when I am bored later. I must leave some evidence."

Xu Youyuan saw the vampire figurine hanging in her car key bag.

Of course she knew that figurine, it took her a whole night to type it several times to complete it.I thought Shi Yue would put it aside casually, but I didn't expect that she would carry it with her, and even sprayed a protective film on the outside.

I haven't seen him in a few months, the vampire is the same as when it was first played, there is no scratch at all, and the arc of the smile is still a bit mean, it is Shi Yue himself.

"Okay, you record it." Xu Youyuan looked away, "Anyway, we already have a lot of evidence for each other, and we don't care about one more. And I keep my word, and I will never go back on my word. Come on, let's eat. Almost starving."

"What do you want to eat?"

"It's fine, you decide, I'll eat with you."

"Then I'm welcome."

He said he was welcome, but Shi Yue didn't order anything, just a plate of thick-sliced ​​beef tongue and premium pork belly, a plate of shiitake mushrooms, a small steamed bun, two glasses of juice, and ordered Submit.

"No, when did your appetite become so small? It's not like your style, so don't save money for your sister, okay?"

"At our company's afternoon tea party, I ate a lot of snacks and drank a pot of tea, and I don't have that much appetite now. It's not good to save you money, do you have a conscience?"

"Didn't you say that you don't eat breakfast and lunch, just wait for this dinner? Why are you still full? I don't need you to save me money. I should eat. It's boring to withdraw money."

Shi Yue felt that something was wrong, she asked Xu Youyuan: "Where did you get the money?"

"Why are you interrogating me like a prisoner? It must be obtained through formal channels, don't be afraid."

Shi Yue suddenly thought: "You won't sell that special appearance, will you?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Yue's sense of touch is quite sensitive, so Xu Youyuan added two more premium snowflake beef rolls, charcoal-grilled wagyu beef, crab meat stewed rice, and a large plate of vegetables. She asked Shi Yue if he would like some wine: "My colleague said The shochu they have here is also quite delicious, can you drink it? How about some? It’s such a cold day, just to warm you up.”

Shi Yue didn't answer her question, she stared into her eyes and said, "Xu Youyuan, answer me, did you sell your appearance?"

Xu Youyuan didn't understand why she insisted on chasing this matter: "Yes, I sold it. The appearance of such things is of no practical use, but it is worth collecting, and I don't like Xu Xian. What are you doing? Keep it and hug your thigh again, and be laughed at by you?"

Xu Youyuan smiled at Shi Yue, but Shi Yue couldn't smile at all:

"That's the appearance of our CP, why did you sell it without asking me?"

Xu Youyuan really didn't think of this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while:

"This...isn't it just an appearance? And what's there to miss about that kind of cowardly and silly straight man appearance."

Shi Yue said again in a very serious and determined tone:

"So what about being cowardly? So what about being stupid? That's my CP appearance, and it's the reward we got after breaking through the level together. It can't be measured by money. It's a commemoration, a commemoration that belongs to me and you. How can you If you say sell it, you will sell it?"

Xu Youyuan was dumbfounded by Shi Yue's words, how could she think that Shi Yue would be obsessed with this kind of thing because she looked more mature than her peers.

When I met Shiyue these days, I have never seen her say something so seriously, her well-prepared big eyes turned a little red, this disappointed look made Xu Youyuan feel uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect you to care so much about this matter." Xu Youyuan had no choice but to admit her mistake frankly, "Is this okay, let's continue to break through later, and I will definitely not sell the appearance that will be released next time, okay?"

Xu Youyuan was particularly afraid of this feeling, unknowingly let down Shi Yue's intentions, and made her sad.

Shi Yue didn't blame her anymore, but the feeling of excitement when she first came here has turned into disappointment.

Xu Youyuan was on pins and needles throughout the whole process, wishing she could immediately find out her phone and find out how to coax the little girl.
