"Hold on."

He originally planned to leave City B tonight, but Xu Xizhou's text message made him hesitate again.

Xiaozhou should be dating that Su Fan now. Last time at the club, the two were so close, and they even drove a kart together.

Although it is really uncomfortable, if this is Xu Xizhou's choice, then he will respect him.

He did lose his temper a few days ago. He went to Ren Zhai to go crazy again while drunk, and he picked Su Fan's thorn in front of Xu Xizhou. Now that he calmed down, he suddenly realized that he was ridiculously childish like a child who made a fuss when he couldn't get his beloved candy.

Now that he has promised Shu Yue, no matter how unwilling he is, he shouldn't bother Xu Xizhou and Su Fan at this time.

But why, Xiaozhou would take the initiative to contact him again?

Zhuang Jingchun is very clear that his will is not so firm, but whenever Xu Xizhou gives him a glimmer of hope, he will be like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood, and he will never let go.

The phone vibrated again.

——I have something to talk to you in person. Are you free tonight?

Zhuang Jingchun stared at the text message, like a person deprived of oxygen in the deep sea, briefly floated to the surface and smelled the fragrance of the air.

He made a direct call.

Seeing Zhuang Jingchun's call, Xu Xizhou shook his hand and almost dropped the phone.

He calmed down, glanced at the crowd in the box, and quietly slipped out of the box to a quiet corridor before picking up the phone.

After the connection was made, there was no sound for a while, only the man's deep breathing.

Xu Xizhou could almost imagine the expression of Zhuang Jingchun now. He must be slightly wrinkled between his brows, and his fingers would probably be habitually pressing his temples, thinking about how to start.

"I……"

"you……"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"Where are you now?" Zhuang Jingchun asked bluntly.

Xu Xizhou said the address of the restaurant and asked Zhuang Jingchun again.

"Are you... still at the hotel? Why don't I find you later?"

"No, I still have some things to deal with here. When the things are done, I will go to find you."

Xu Xizhou hummed softly, "There is a coffee shop nearby, so I'll wait for you at the coffee shop after dinner, okay?"

"Okay."

Zhuang Jingchun didn't ask more about the appointment time and place, and simply hung up the phone neatly.

Looking at the end of the call page, Xu Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief.

There is tension in the bottom of my heart, but also a trace of anticipation and secret joy.

Back in the box, the dinner was coming to an end. Director Chen and several leading actors were very drunk. Xu Xizhou helped them call a chauffeur, and then helped the assistant to help a few men who were drunk to the car.

"Mr. Xu, don't you really need us to take you back?" Before leaving, the assistant sat in the co-pilot and asked worriedly.

"No, you can go back by yourself, I'll see someone else later."

When the assistant saw Xu Xizhou's mouth with a slight smile, he couldn't help teasing him, "Could it be to meet your girlfriend? When you were eating, I noticed that you were absent-minded and had been playing with your phone."

"Uh...not a girlfriend yet."

The assistant chuckled, "Mr. Xu, you are so handsome and you are a race car driver. What kind of girl can't be chased, don't worry, the other party must like you too!"

Xu Xizhou laughed a little.

He stood there, watching several cars drive away one by one. The cold wind blew, and he put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly on the tree-lined road covered with fallen leaves.

Unconsciously, came to the coffee shop. After entering, Xu Xizhou discovered that this was a cat cafe, where not only can you drink coffee, but you can also enter the glass room inside to play cats.

Xu Xizhou ordered a hot latte and looked at the kittens lying or sitting on the cat climbing frame through the glass window.

Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Zhuang Jingchun playing with cats, and he doesn't know how he will look when he sees these cats when he enters this coffee shop.

The guy's personality is like a cold breed cat, he is ignorant of people most of the time, but sometimes unexpected relatives.

Thinking of this, Xu Xizhou smiled unconsciously.

He sat alone in the corner, occasionally teasing the cat through the glass window, and before he knew it, an hour passed.

After drinking the last latte, he suddenly found that there were no other customers in the store except him, and the clerks were clearing the tables and chairs.

"Sir, I'm sorry, we are closing at 9:30." A clerk came over and said apologetically.

Xu Xizhou looked at his watch, it was 9:25, and Zhuang Jingchun's appointment with him was 9:30, which should be almost there.

He didn't pay attention when he came in. If he knew that the store was closed at 9:30, he should have met Zhuang Jingchun in another place.

When the cat cafe came out, Xu Xizhou didn't know where to go for a while. It was winter now, and the shops on this street closed earlier. There is a narrow alley nearby, the lights are dim, and occasionally a cat meow or two can be heard.

Xu Xizhou glanced at the alley, and suddenly saw an orange figure passing by, followed by a shrill cat meowing and a dog barking.

Xu Xizhou hurriedly walked into the alley, and sure enough, a big black dog was chasing a small orange cat to bite. He hurried over to drive the black dog away, the little orange cat was afraid, hiding in the pile of debris, all the hair on his body stood up and shivered.

"It's okay, I'll drive you away. Don't be afraid."

At the cat cafe just now, the clerk gave him two packs of cat bars, but he hasn't fed them yet. Just enough for this little orange cat to eat.

He took out the cat stick in his pocket and coaxed it softly for a long time before the little orange cat slowly stuck its head out and tentatively licked the deer packaging bag.

Seeing the little orange cat relax his vigilance, Xu Xizhou unconsciously showed a smile.

He devoted himself to feeding the cat strips to the little orange cat, unaware that there was a tall and thin shadow behind him, getting closer and closer to him.
