The reason why Xu Yuling is so unbelievable is because in her limited

knowledge of Shi Yan, the feeling he gives does not match the scene before

her.

She went to the interview rashly that time, but she was actually very nervous,

beating her heart.

Who knows that Shiyan doesn't care who the people are sent by the magazine.

But he didn't care more than this.

Although the whole interview process seemed to go smoothly, Xu Yu always felt

an invisible pressure lingering around her.

She can estimate that this person does not seem to be satisfied with her

business ability.

But his dissatisfaction is only manifested in his indifferent attitude,

nothing more.

For example, she discovered that she had made a mistake in the middle of the

journey, and she was peeping at him fearfully, thinking that he would show an

expression of extreme dissatisfaction.

Surprisingly, he didn't mention it at all, just skipped it.

Xu Yuling is a person who can perceive words and colors. She knows that Shi

Yan's attitude towards her is not tolerant, but an almost indifferent

indifferent.

But just now, when Xu Yuling saw it in the lobby on the first floor, Yan took

Zheng Shuyi away.

She saw that the look in Shi Yan's eyes changed several times, and it was

difficult to overlap with him in her memory.

Recalling Zheng Shuyi's words again, Xu Yuling suddenly felt a chill in his

back.

——

"Ah cut!"

In the air-conditioned car, Zheng Shuyi suddenly sneezed.

She covered her mouth with her arm, and muttered, "Who is scolding me behind

her back."

No one in the car responded, and it seemed that Zheng Shuyi was talking to

himself.

After she resolved the embarrassment and had nothing to do, her senses became

more sensitive.

In the enclosed space, the sweet taste of egg tarts wafted out from the back

seat.

Zheng Shuyi slowly turned his head, glanced, and then withdrew his gaze

calmly.

Turning his head, he saw Shi Yan looking at her.

The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Shi Yan turned his head, looked at the intersection ahead, and

asked, "What do you want to eat."

Zheng Shuyi smiled, rubbing his scarf, and gently pointed his finger: "Turn

right ahead."

——

"Jiuwei" is a private noodle restaurant open 24 hours a day.

It is located deep in the alley and is remodeled from an old house. The

environment is simple, but clean and elegant.

The signature prawn noodles are extremely fragrant and delicious.

This smell often appeared in Zheng Shuyi's mind in the middle of the night for

no reason, causing people to dream.

But it was almost eleven o'clock at night, and there were still seven or eight

people in line.

After they were seated, they waited for a while, and a bowl of hot noodles

came up.

Zheng Shuyi stirred twice, then raised his head and asked: "You really don't

want to eat?"

Shi Yan sat across from her, his gaze swept across her face, and glanced at

the contents of the bowl.

"Don't eat."

"Okay, the noodles in this store are really delicious, you don't need to eat

it."

Zheng Shuyi seems to be a bit regretful. While picking up the finely chopped

peppercorns, he said, "Unfortunately, they are two chefs. The business is

good, so they don't do takeaways. I can only come to the store if I want to

eat. Otherwise, I can just eat three meals a day. Order theirs."

After Zheng Shuyi finished speaking, he was about to bury his head, but he

glanced at him and was suddenly stunned.

She was sitting right across the door of this store, with a great view, and

she could see everyone coming in.

She paused with the chopsticks in her hand, almost without looking much, she

could confirm that among the three or four people who came in, one of them was

Yue Xingzhou.

Once again, he glanced at the Shiyan with his back to the door, and Zheng

Shuyi suddenly became nervous.

She didn't know whether Shi Yan and Yue Xingzhou knew each other, but if they

met at this time, the scene would not look good.

So Zheng Shuyi took a quick look outside and whispered: "I'm a little

uncomfortable. Go to the bathroom."

After speaking, without giving Shiyan any time to react, he put down his

chopsticks and walked towards the restroom in the store.

Shi Yan glanced at her back, with a look of inquiry.

Immediately, three or four men walked to the table and lined up behind the

line.

Feeling the footsteps, Shi Yan didn't even raise his head, looking down at the

phone.

The line was long, Yue Xingzhou and the others were just not far from Shiyan.

There are a lot of people in the store, but because it is late at night, most

of them eat supper after get off work. They are tired and exhausted, so the

whole is very quiet.

However, Yue Xingzhou didn't just get off work. Some college students came for

a business trip tonight, so he called a few classmates who were still working

in Jiangcheng out to have dinner together.

After the meal, everyone went to drink for a while, filled their stomachs, and

felt empty again after the meal, so they came here to pack a snack and return

to the hotel.

Several people chatted one after another, and somehow the topic suddenly

caught on Zheng Shuyi.

A man hooked Yue Xingzhou's shoulders and asked, "Yue Xingzhou, we have been

classmates for a few years. To be honest, why did you suddenly break up with

Zheng Shuyi?"

Hearing the words "Zheng Shuyi", Shi Yan's eyebrows suddenly jumped.

He looked away from the phone briefly.

After leaving those people aside, he casually continued to read the content on

the screen.

Yue Xingzhou was silent for a moment, and said, "The personality does not

match."

"Incompatibility? Not right." The man said, "I think it's pretty good. You

have such a good temper. Why do you suddenly have a disagreement?"

"Yeah." Someone interrupted, "I thought you were quite suitable before. I

remember that I had dinner with you some time ago. At that time, my girlfriend

said that you look good."

Shi Yan's fingertips stopped on the screen, and the corners of his lips were

slowly pressed at the moment of frowning.

"Really." Yue Xingzhou no longer wanted to mention this topic, already faintly

impatient, "It's just a disagreement."

It's a pity that a few of my friends drank alcohol, and they were a little

confused and didn't feel his emotional changes.

"Then who of you mentioned breaking up?"

Yue Xingzhou opened his mouth, rolled his eyes, looked at the ground and said,

"She mentioned it."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

After a while, a person laughed twice, with a little disdain in his tone.

"It's normal. After all, she has a different level of contact now, and it's

normal for her to have a higher vision. Seeing more CEOs and CFOs, I can still

see some bank staff."

As soon as his words came out, Yue Xingzhou's expression immediately changed.

Everyone thought that this sentence had hit Yue Xingzhou's sore spot, and they

immediately ended the scene: "Bye bye, bye bye. The next one is better. The

old one won't go and the new one will come."

"Yes, you are so handsome, and you are not lacking a girlfriend, I think you

are pretty good now."

"Yes, although it doesn't look as good as Zheng Shuyi, it's the most important

thing for everyone to live together, caring and sensible."

"Well, I want to open it up. Just looking good can't last long. Zheng Shuyi is

too squeamish. She is a little princess. She can accommodate for a while. How

can she serve her in her life?"

"Master, four prawn noodles to take away."

——

Zheng Shuyi stood in the bathroom for a long time.

The environment here is good, the smell is not smelly, but the incense is too

strong, she almost fainted.

She couldn't stand it anymore, quietly opened the door and glanced outside.

There were no people in the line, and Yue Xingzhou didn't seem to be in the

hall.

Zheng Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to open the door when the

phone rang suddenly.

Shi Yan: Are you in love with the toilet?

Zheng Shuyi glared at him in the corner before slowly walking out.

"It's a little uncomfortable, making you wait for a long time."

She sat down in a relaxed manner, but she was still worried, her eyes gazed

around.

When Shi Yan raised his eyes, he saw her small movements, silently sneered,

and twitched the corners of her mouth.

It was finally confirmed that Yue Xingzhou was no longer here, and Zheng Shuyi

was completely relieved.

But when she picked up the chopsticks, she found that the noodles in the bowl

had already battered.

"Tsk." Due to the appearance of Yue Xingzhou, Zheng Shuyi's mood was greatly

reduced, and now the noodles were battered again, she stirred it with

chopsticks, and instantly lost her appetite.

Shi Yan put down the phone without urging her.

Zheng Shuyi ate two bites and stopped using his chopsticks, but did not speak

either.

The atmosphere of a table sank inexplicably.

After a while, Shi Yan suddenly said, "Zheng Shuyi, look up."

Zheng Shuyi raised his head and looked at him somewhat inexplicably.

"What are you doing?"

Shi Yan stared at her closely, his eyes were not hidden, but he did not speak.

Zheng Shuyi was a little overwhelmed by him, and reached out his hand to touch

his cheek.

"Is there something on my face?"

Most of the lights in the eating places are lit with warm yellow lights, which

makes people have appetite, and also makes people feel the gentleness around

them.

But Shi Yan's eyes made Zheng Shuyi feel a panic.

Seeing Shi Yan still staring at her, Zheng Shuyi took out the cushion

foundation from his bag and opened the mirror to take a look.

Well, it's clean, it's still so good-looking.

"What's the matter?"

"So... big eyes."

He originally wanted to subconsciously say "Such a nice pair of eyes", but

when he reached his mouth, he changed his mouth temporarily when he saw her

vigilant eyes.

"Why is your vision so bad?"

Zheng Shuyi:?

Why did you start a personal attack again suddenly?

Could it be the appearance of Yue Xingzhou just now, what did he guess?

Zheng Shuyi and him looked at each other for a moment, feeling anxious and had

to change the subject forcibly.

She smiled and nodded, "Well, yes, I used to have poor vision, but now my

vision has improved."

Shi Yan looked down, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a moment, he

whispered: "Then you have too much eyesight now."

Zheng Shuyi: "..."

If she is not carrying a heavy responsibility, she must have a bowl of noodles

directly on her head.

But now she can't do anything.

The noodles in the bowl became more and more mushy by her stirring. She stared

at it, smiled twice, and muttered: "Iron ** are boiled in the batter, which

is what you are talking about."

Shi Yan obviously didn't understand what she meant.

"what are you saying?"

Zheng Shuyi: "Say you bastard."

"..."

Shi Yan took a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Zheng Shuyi."

"Hmm!" Zheng Shuyi nodded repeatedly, "I was wrong and I was wrong."

But she still didn't watch Shiyan, buried her head, and couldn't help but

muttered: "You are not boiled iron * in the batter, you are boiled leather

* in the batter."

Shi Yan raised his eyes, "What are you whispering again?"

Zheng Shuyi said dullly: "You are still angry when you say you are a bastard."

"..."

There was deathly silence all around.

"Are you still eating?"

After a long time, Shi Yan received his expression and asked.

Zheng Shuyi glanced at the things in the bowl that she had made unsightly, and

shook his head.

"Forget it, don't eat it, I have no appetite."

Shi Yan didn't speak anymore, took his cellphone and got up and went out.

Zheng Shuyi curled his lips against his back, and muttered: "I was a bastard,

and I don't know him clearly."

After speaking, she picked up the bag and followed.

It was late at night when I came out of the private noodle restaurant.

The dew is deeper, the winter worms are dormant, and the alley is surprisingly

quiet.

Zheng Shuyi stepped on the shadow of Shi Yan, following him step by step to

the parking lot.

No words all the way.

Under the flashing neon lights, the car drove out of the residential area and

into the highway.

Zheng Shuyi didn't eat dinner and was disturbed by supper. Tired and hungry,

she glanced at the center console in the sleepy room.

Seeing the numbers clearly, she blinked and looked at Shi Yan.

Under the dim light, his profile was hidden in the shadows, not real, only the

frame of the glasses was shining with fine light.

Zheng Shuyi felt that he might not be in a good mood.

Otherwise, the downtown area is 80 yards, okay?

But even so, Zheng Shuyi couldn't hold back his sleepiness, and fell asleep in

Shiyan's car again.

——

I don't know how long it took, Zheng Shuyi felt that someone squeezed his

cheek before waking up slowly.

But when she opened her eyes, Shi Yan leaned on the seat, with his arms on the

steering wheel, looking at her calmly.

"Are you here?"

Zheng Shuyi took a deep breath, slowed down, got out of the car with the bag,

"Then I'm going back, you are careful on the road."

Shi Yan let out a soft "um".

In Zheng Shuyi's subconscious mind, he always felt something was wrong, but he

couldn't tell.

She glanced at Shi Yan, but finally did not say anything, opened the door and

got out of the car.

The street lamp stretched her shadow very long.

A few steps later, she finally heard Shi Yan call her.

"Zheng Shuyi."

Zheng Shuyi stopped and looked back, "What's the matter?"

The window of the car had already been lowered, and Shi Yan looked over with

his head tilted, his eyes blurred under the shadowy light.

Zheng Shuyi stood there without any reaction.

After a while, Shi Yan said, "Eat less before going to bed."

——

Back home, Zheng Shuyi entered the kitchen for the first time.

The fast food in the refrigerator was only self-heating small hot pot, but she

really didn't want to eat spicy food at the moment, so she had to order a

takeaway.

After washing the dishes and bathing, she was already hungry and collapsed on

the bed, waiting for the takeaway with her eyes blankly.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

It arrived faster than she thought.

Zheng Shuyi immediately got up to open the door.

It was not the takeaway she ordered.

The deliveryman did not wear take-out clothes, but a neat Jiuwei private

noodle restaurant uniform.

The visitor handed a food box to Zheng Shuyi: "Ms. Zheng, your shrimp noodles

are delivered."
