After dinner, Shen Xian packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Zhou Mu sat at the dining table and tasted the grape sprite prepared by Shen Xian.

He, who was rarely interested in carbonated drinks, was somewhat obsessed with this homemade drink with a strange taste. He helped set up the stools, briefly arranged the items on the dining table, and then moved to the sofa with the cup in hand.

To be honest, Shen Xian's house has plenty of space. She can be considered a semi-minimalist, so there are not many items placed in the house, which makes the overall space of the living room particularly spacious.

There is a standing cabinet on the side of the sofa, on which are placed some models collected by Shen Xian - spaceships, tanks, missiles and the like.

On the top layer were some photo frames, certificates, and trophies that she flipped over.

Zhou Mu looked at it casually. From the side, he could roughly see what was sealed in the photo frame. Those were the honorary certificates Shen Xian had received before and some past photos.

The hand that wanted to turn the thing over stopped in mid-air.

Shen Xian is good at everything. In the past, she was loyal, affectionate, brave and careful, and had a full sense of justice. The heroic energy in her body made him feel that he was inferior to her as a passionate man.

But now Shen Xian seems to have placed a cage in his heart, imprisoning the part of himself that once shone brightly.

Live cautiously and repressed, fragile yet pretending to be strong.

When the rain stopped outside the window, Shen Xian sent Zhou Mu downstairs.

"Shen Xian, if you need someone to listen or help you, you can always come to me. Don't always do it alone."

Before leaving, Zhou Mu said this. This was the number of times he had said this tonight.

"Don't worry, I will do it. Let's go!" Shen Xian said, waving his hand and urging Zhou Mu to get in the car quickly.

Zhou Mu was helpless. Although Shen Xian always said that she would do it, if he hadn't come here to see her today, he probably wouldn't have known that Qin Shi was in the same company as her.

"Chen Xian..." Zhou Mu called again.

Shen Xian was helpless, "When did Captain Zhou become such a mother-in-law? I promise you that I will try my best to reply to all your calls and messages in the future, okay?"

"Um!"

Zhou Mu didn't dare to make any more requests. He was satisfied with the "try your best" reply. Then he started the car and made a phone call gesture with his hand next to his ear.

"Tsk!"

Shen Xian frowned, folded his arms and raised his chin, meaning: Let's go, Captain Zhou, it will be dawn again.

The black Mercedes slowly drove away. Shen Xian stood there and watched the car disappear around the corner.

The air that had just rained was fresh and cold. She stretched out her hands and wrapped her brown sweater tightly around her body.

Under the streetlight, her figure looked particularly thin and lonely...

Zhou Mu drove forward, but her eyes were fixed on the figures in the rearview mirror that were getting farther and farther away and getting smaller and smaller.

Shen Xian, Shen Xian...

Every time these two words appear in my mind, my heart can’t help but feel distressed.

Shen Xian watched the car go away and did not go upstairs immediately. She tightened her clothes and walked leisurely in the community with her arms folded.

She walks very slowly, and when she encounters a puddle, she will jump over it with light steps.

Because it had rained, there were no people in the community and it was very quiet.

The street lights cast a sparkling light on the rainwater deposited on the ground, making the water look particularly clear in the night. The water surface reflected the dark clouds in the sky, which looked surprisingly beautiful.

Shen Xian took a deep breath. The refreshing and cold air after the rain broke into his nose and invaded his internal organs, making his whole body feel refreshed.

Her long black hair was casually tied up with vertical clips, and her scattered bangs were scattered in front of her forehead. The wind occasionally blew by, and her hair swaying in the dark night made her originally cold temperament look even colder.

The back of her white trousers was stained by the rain from walking, but she didn't care much about it.

After walking slowly around the community twice, Shen Xian stopped.

Shen Xianli looked at the unknown little flowers blooming on the roadside in the park, withering and failing in the cold autumn wind and rain for a long time.

She looked at it seriously, not knowing what she was thinking. Her long eyelashes were drooping, and her sharp jawline made her look very thin.

After a while, Shen Xian shivered. She bent down and picked up a small white flower in her hand, turned around and hurried upstairs.

She put the flower into the potted plant sent by Zhou Mugang, and planted half of its branches into the soil. The flowers and green complement each other.

Before going to bed, Shen Xian received a message from Chen Nuo: "A hot pot restaurant has opened near our company. Do you want to try it together tomorrow?"

Attached was a link to a gourmet food platform. Shen Xian clicked on it and looked at it. It was an authentic Chongqing hot pot with a big opening bonus and many new dishes and drinks.

"Okay!" Shen Xian replied.

Who can resist the temptation of delicious food?

Chen Nuo has been very kind to herself recently. She used to pay special attention to her diet in order to maintain her figure. Now she can eat whatever she wants. She even buys beautiful clothes and designer bags that she likes.

She said: The best way for girls to heal their emotional wounds is to be kind to themselves and love themselves more. Only when you have everything you want can you open the door to a new world.

If she hadn't been busy with work and couldn't take a vacation, she would have wanted to fly to London to feed pigeons, go to Norway to see the aurora, go to Antarctica to see penguins, and go to the North Pole to feed bears - well, let's forget about this!

Although it was a bit expensive, Shen Xian fully agreed with her idea.

Chen Nuo can think this way, which means that she is already letting herself get out of that bad relationship, instead of immersing herself in the memories of the past.

The business of hot pot restaurants seems to be surprisingly good at any time and anywhere, let alone newly opened restaurants.

Moreover, the decoration of this store is particularly unique and has a prosperous atmosphere. Looking at the environment makes people feel like they are in the mountain city of Chongqing. The rich and spicy smell can be smelled from far away.

The hot pot restaurant is located in a shopping mall near Shenfei, on the third floor.

Although there were many people and long queues, Chen Nuo was so smart. She made a reservation online very early. After going there, she only waited a few minutes for the reservation time to arrive. When a customer left the table, she made a reservation first. Their number was called.

Shen Xian glanced at the people waiting on the seats outside and looked at them enviously, patted Chen Nuo on the shoulder and said, "I really have you, I can predict this."

"Isn't it awesome?" Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows proudly.

Today she wore a pair of white high heels, pink trousers, a white lace shirt, and a thin jacket of the same color. She looked youthful, with a sweet face and a bright smile.

The gloomy atmosphere that lasted for several days has finally dissipated.

"Jue Juezi." After saying that, the two of them had already entered the store.

Shen Xian was still wearing very simple clothes today. He wore white casual trousers under a khaki windbreaker, a black slim-fitting sweatshirt with a sense of design, and still white sneakers. His long black hair was tied up high, and he had long eyebrows. Pick, quite a bit heroic.

The two of them sat down. Chen Nuo spent the whole night studying the positive and negative reviews online. She knew best what dishes were delicious and what drinks were delicious, so she left the ordering to her.

Shen Xian took this time to reply to several work emails, two of which were from Gu Chen asking Shen Xian to sort out the emails sent to Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi integrated the information he knew according to Gu Chen's request.

It’s really not easy to relax. My legs are injured and I have to continue working.

Shen Xian thought to himself, but she had checked all the information before sending it out. She would just synthesize the information Zhang Chi gave her later, sort it out and hand it over to Gu Chen.

"Okay, Shen Xianxian, now I can balance work and life!"

After Chen Nuo ordered the food, he handed the menu to the waiter with a smile and turned around to tease Shen Xian.

"It's better to succumb to the boss's majesty and dare not delay."

Shen Xian locked the screen of his phone and shook it to show that he was fine.

The drink I just ordered has been brought to me, which is iced raspberry juice. Shen Xian liked sour plum soup with hot pot before, but this was the first time I drank this raspberry juice.

"Does it taste good?" Seeing that Chen Nuo had picked up the straw and took a sip, Shen Xian asked impatiently.

"Hmm." Chen Nuo frowned slightly but gave a thumbs up, fearing that he couldn't bear the sour taste.

Shen Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and took a sip himself. It was indeed sour, sweet, ice-cold, and delicious.

It is said that good food, good wine, and a beautiful woman are the happiest things in the world. When girls are together, it is definitely fun to have good food and good gossip.

Naturally, it was Chen Nuo who started the conversation first.

"Chen Xian, do you think it's strange that our Mr. Gu is such a handsome, elegant man, but why doesn't he have any scandals about him?"

Chen Nuo was eating the freshly boiled hairy tripe in her mouth. It was so hot that she kept sucking it in and out as she spoke.

"What's wrong with you?"

Shen Xian was also spicy and hot, so it felt better after taking a sip of raspberry juice to squeeze it down.

"Gossip."

Chen Nuo came closer, lowered his voice and spoke word by word.

Shen Xian licked his lips and stared directly at the boiling hot pot in front of him. His chopsticks had already been inserted again, aiming at the rolling sandwich rice cakes.

"I don't know. Maybe I've done a good job of keeping it secret. It's impossible, and I'm not too young anymore."

Shen Xian said casually without taking it seriously and dipped it in the sauce seriously.

"You actually dislike Mr. Gu's age!"

Chen Nuo was really shocked!

At Gu Chen's age, there are not many people in the country who are in charge of a huge group like Shenfei.

Did Shen Xian underestimate Gu Chen's ability, or did he not understand Shen Fei's strength?

"Ah...I didn't mean that."

Shen Xian was frightened by Chen Nuo's words and accidentally bit the flesh on her tongue. The numb, spicy and painful feeling really made her worse than death.

"Don't cry, it won't happen."

Chen Nuo's smile was trembling wildly, and he seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him. He had already taken out a tissue in his hand and handed it to Shen Xian.

Shen Xian covered his mouth with a tissue to hide his embarrassment, "You deliberately misunderstood me."

"I didn't, I really didn't."

Chen Nuo opened his almond-shaped eyes wide and looked at Shen Xian innocently and innocently. With that serious and firm look, he almost swore to heaven.

Shen Xian opened his mouth and took a few big breaths to relieve the multiple stimulation. He took another sip of raspberry juice, which was very refreshing.

At this moment, Chen Nuo lowered his head and smiled, eating the delicious food in the bowl.

"I mean, Mr. Gu must be around thirty after all. With such external conditions and family background, even if he doesn't have it now, it doesn't mean he hasn't had it before."

The seriousness of Shen Xian's analysis also proved that she definitely did not mean to tease Gu Chen about his age just now.

Chen Nuo nodded with both hands, "I think you are right, at least there must have been..."
