☆、Chapter 59

A few days later, the Shen family, the Lei family, and the Fan family's cooperation project officially started. The next day, it was published in the newspaper. Regardless of whether the villa area can make money after the completion of the villa, the cooperation between these few companies is enough to become the focus of the media. Even without Shen and Fan, the strength of the Lei family should not be underestimated. Even if it is not as good as before, it is still one of the iconic family businesses in N City.

After that, Shen Yicheng became even busier. There used to be at least class hours, and I could still meet at school, but now it's just that Shenlong can't see the end, and he doesn't know what he is busy with. After all, he was just a young master who didn't graduate from college.

Entering November, the temperature dropped suddenly after the cold snap hit. The thicker windbreaker can still be worn before, but now everyone has put on cotton jackets, and even some people who are afraid of the cold have already put on down jackets.

The day before the cold wave invaded, Gu Xu bought a white down jacket for Xia Zichen. The clothes were light and thin, and they didn't have the heaviness of ordinary winter clothes at all, but they were very warm and Xia Zichen liked it very much.

After class on Thursday, Xia Zichen, An Jing and Tang Hui had lunch together, and were ready to take the subway to work in the company. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, Gu Xu's phone called.

"Have you eaten lunch yet?" Xia Zichen answered the phone and asked with a smile.

"Well, ate. Where are you now?"

"I'm about to go to the company." Xia Zichen walked slowly along the walking path, "Do I want to bring you anything?"

Gu Xu occasionally asks Xia Zichen to buy some snacks. If there is nothing to do in the afternoon, Gu Xu will find an excuse to let Xia Zichen go upstairs and have afternoon tea together.

"No, I'm calling you to tell you something." Gu Xu smiled and continued: "My parents' plane will arrive in N city tomorrow night, please come to your house for dinner on Saturday night."

"Ah?" Gu Xu suddenly said that his parents were coming back, and Xia Zichen was completely unprepared. Originally, he had to notify Gu Xu's parents about a week in advance because he had returned, but he didn't expect it to be only two days in advance.

"Is this frightening?" Although there was a phone call, Gu Xu seemed to be able to see Xia Zichen's surprised face.

In fact, he was a little surprised when he received a call from his mother, and he always felt that the time was running out. But mother said that it took so long, and if didn't come back, was afraid that the Xia family would think they didn't take it seriously, so as soon as the matter over there was settled, rushed back to the country with the fastest flight.

"A little bit." After taking a deep breath, Xia Zichen tried his best to suppress the sudden tension, and said, "What do uncles and aunts like?" The first time they met, he would never be empty-handed, he felt very rude.

"They don't lack anything, so don't worry about it." Mother also said when she called, she just wanted to see Xia Zichen, don't let Xia Zichen buy things.

"The first time you saw my dad, it wasn't shopping." Although Gu Xu also brought a lot of things to the house after that, the coffee pot Xia Yuze must use every day, "I'll go to your house, I'll have the final say. ."

Gu Xu laughed and didn't persuade him any more, "Okay, you can figure it out."

"I'm going to ask for leave in the afternoon." He has a lot of classes tomorrow, so he doesn't have time to go shopping, so he can only skip half a day of class while he has time today.

"Go shopping?" Xia Zichen's movements were not difficult for Gu Xu to guess.

"Yeah." Xia Zichen didn't deny it, and began to figure out which mall would be better to go to.

"I'll accompany you." He happened to have nothing to do this afternoon. He originally wanted to call someone up when Xia Zichen arrived at the company, but now that he was asking for leave, he had to be absent from work for a long time to accompany him. Although he is not a very expressive person, he doesn't mind putting aside work for the sake of his lover.

"Are you sure you won't be called back by Senior Mo Xiang halfway through?" He had learned from the past.

Once on a Friday afternoon, he didn't have to go to the company for a class. Gu Xu was bored at the company, so he went to the school to accompany Xia Zichen to class.

Although Gu Xu has graduated, there are not a few people who know him. Accompanying Xia Zichen in class will naturally attract a lot of heads. Gu Xu is business as usual, only Xia Zichen can be seen in his eyes. Xia Zichen could only act as if nothing had happened, and finish the class under the eyes of his classmates. The professor who taught them had also taught Gu Xu's class before, so he didn't rush people, and even came over to chat between classes.

However, after the first class, when Xia Zichen was about to change classrooms for the next class, Gu Xu's cell phone rang, and Mo Xiang hurriedly called him back to the company for a meeting. So that that day Gu Xu had to work an extra hour to make up for the few hours of absenteeism, Xia Zichen went to the company to eat dinner with Gu Xu.

"Not this time, the big deal is that I will shut down." Gu Xu said it easily, obviously not taking the matter of everyone waiting for him to drive back from school to the company for a meeting that day.

"Well, if you are called back today, your reputation with me will be bankrupt." Gu Xu also said last time that he came here when he had nothing to do, but he still couldn't find anyone in a hurry.

"It doesn't matter, I can apply for an overdraft, and there is always a way for you to approve it." Gu Xu smiled ambiguously, and then said, "I'll drive to the school to pick you up."

"No, I'm almost at the subway station. Take the subway to the city center. You can drive there. We'll meet you at the entrance of the mall." Xia Zichen didn't want Gu Xu to run twice.

Gu Xu thought for a moment and nodded. Then the two decided to go to a shopping mall and hung up the phone.

When Xia Zichen arrived at the door of the shopping mall, Gu Xu was already waiting for him at the door.

"Is it cold?" Looking at Xia Zichen's cold reddish ears, Gu Xu handed over the hot mocha in his hand and touched his ear lightly.

"It's okay." Xia Zichen smiled and took the hot coffee from Gu Xu's hand. After being together for a long time, Gu Xu also knows his habit. Drinking hot coffee or hot cocoa when it is cold is a pleasure for Xia Zichen.

"Take a break or just go shopping?" Gu Xu unzipped Xia Zichen's jacket halfway, and tore off his scarf a little, for fear that he would be too hot in the mall and go out to catch a cold later.

"Let's go shopping, don't get tired." In fact, neither Xia Zichen nor Gu Xu like to go shopping. Unless it is necessary, they would rather stay at home and play games than go to the mall to hang out.

"Okay." Gu Xu held Xia Zichen's hand naturally, and didn't care about other people's eyes at all. One cup of coffee, and the two started to stroll around casually.

The mall chosen by the two is considered a high-end mall in N city, and the world-famous luxury goods are also readily available. Gu Xu agreed that he didn't come here to make Xia Zichen buy expensive things, but that the brands here are relatively complete, and the prices of some brands are also within the range of Xia Zichen's internship salary.

When it comes to the internship salary, because the company only has Xia Zichen as an intern, there is no reference to the salary. Gu Xu waved his pen and gave him a salary that he thinks is reasonable - definitely higher than the salary of ordinary companies for internships, but not too high. For other technical employees of the company.

Originally, Xia Zichen didn't want it. After all, he did learn a lot of useful things during his internship. But in the end, the person who was coaxed and deceived by Gu Xulian accepted it, which made Xia Zichen a lot more convenient, and he didn't need Xia Yuze to give him any more pocket money.

After shopping for more than half an hour, Xia Zichen saw two cashmere scarves. They were moderate in style and warm. They were indeed good choices for gifts.

"How about this?" Xia Zichen asked.

Gu Xu nodded, "Yes, it's something my parents will like, it's very practical." Although his family's economic conditions are good, his parents are not people who pursue luxury. They pay more attention to those who show it to others. practicality.

"Well." Xia Zichen looked at the price, and it was within the acceptable range, "Then buy this."

The two discussed it for a while, and finally chose a black and gray one for Father Gu, and a white one with a light orange dark pattern for Mother Gu. These two colors are all versatile, and you can't go wrong.

Let the clerk wrap it up, Xia Zichen took the card and paid the money, but Gu Xu didn't argue with him. After all, this is Xia Zichen's heart. Anyway, the end of the year will be next month, and then the year-end bonus will be used as an excuse to supply Xia Zichen. Of course, this idea is only known to him, and he will not tell anyone.

When he was about to leave, Gu Xu paused in his footsteps, then took a plaid cashmere scarf made of black, white, and gray and handed it to the clerk, "Wrap this too." Then he took out his card and paid for it.

"Do you like it?" Xia Zichen looked at Gu Xu puzzled.

"No, it's for your father." Gu Xu smiled and signed the bill. "They are all elders, and both sides should be taken care of. Besides, your father lives alone now, so he should be more concerned."

"Thank you." Xia Zichen raised the corner of his mouth and thanked Gu Xu earnestly. Gu Xu can always help him think of and solve some problems that he has ignored.

"You're welcome." Holding the scarf, Gu Xu held Xia Zichen's hand, and the two walked out of the store together.

Walking hand in hand has become a habit of the two without knowing it, and they do not shy away from holding hands in other public places except in the company. They are lovers, and homosexuality is not against the law, as long as the two are happy. As for the eyes of others, after being with Gu Xu for a long time, Xia Zichen also learned to ignore it.

Just a few steps out of the store, Xia Zichen was looking at him aimlessly, when two people suddenly swept out of the corner of his eyes, which made him not only startled.

Not far from them, Fan Jiayue was walking out of a luxury brand store holding a man. The man looked twenty-seven or eight-year-old, good-looking and well-dressed, but he didn't feel very temperamental. He raised his chin and looked arrogant, as if he didn't pay attention to anything.

Pride is actually divided into people. The pride of some people gives the impression that they do have such capital. The coexistence of pride and self-cultivation is also an attractive charm. And some people's pride is arrogance and arrogance, and even some people are ridiculous and nondescript. The man beside Fan Jiayue obviously belonged to the latter, which made Xia Zichen feel that there was a kind of domineering aura surrounding the man.

Fan Jiayue seemed to like that man very much, and kept holding his arm against him, feeling as if she wanted to stick to it, and kept saying something with a smile on the corner of her mouth. But the man's reaction was very flat, and he didn't even open his mouth to answer.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zichen suddenly thought that An Jing told him that Shen Yicheng and Fan Jiayue seemed unpleasant. Now it seems that Fan Jiayue is cheating and giving Shen Yicheng a green hat.

Xia Zichen was stunned, and Gu Xu naturally noticed it. Following his gaze, he also saw two people in the distance.

"What?" Gu Xu held Xia Zichen's hand and tightened it a bit. He found that he had been with Xia Zichen for a long time. As long as Xia Zichen looked at anyone more, he would not be able to restrain himself from spitting out sour water, which was very jealous. But after thinking about it, I felt a little funny.

"It's nothing, just a little surprise." Xia Zichen shook his head. I just listened to An Jing skeptically before, but I am still surprised to see it with my own eyes today.
