Finally, he looked at the reward he won from the battle with Zeng Zhui at the Du Mansion today, thought for a moment, and then hesitantly knocked on the door.
"Is Song Qiao here?"
There were footsteps inside the door, and soon the door was opened, revealing Song Qiao's clear and calm face.
"What's up?"
Hu Xu handed over the food box.
That's Shicuizhai's dim sum, a famous snack in Beijing that's hard to buy even if you have money.
"It's just a small gift. Thank you for your help and shelter that day."
A small gift?
Seeing the exquisite food box, Song Qiao did not take it. "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me."
"That lunch box is a gift for a friend." Hu Xu was afraid she might refuse it because it was too expensive, so he added, "I won this snack in a debate. It didn't cost me anything."
Having said that, it would be unreasonable not to accept it.
"Thank you very much."
Hu Xu felt much more at ease when he saw that she looked calm and no longer panicked.
Song Qiao saw the spirit in his eyes and eyebrows, and knew that he had cheered up, and felt relieved.
Since there was nothing else to do and the things had been delivered, Hu Xu said goodbye and went home.
Song Qiao closed the door and went to the backyard with the food box. When he saw the pot of bland porridge, he immediately lost his appetite.
She sat in front of the fire and carefully opened the food box. Inside the box were four kinds of flower cakes: plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, each one exquisite and lovely.
She picked up a piece of orchid pastry and took a bite of half of it.
tasty.
————Relief dividing line————
The Yuan family was going to hold a plum blossom viewing banquet, and Yuan Zuzhi wanted to invite Xu Jiang. He hinted to Hu Xu to take the invitation to Xu Jiang.
Hu Xu knew what he was thinking and understood his good intentions, so he agreed to the matter.
They will see each other again.
Xu Jiang was not only kind to him, but also a friend. He could not and would not alienate them because of his own selfish desires.
He didn't want to disappoint her.
Hu Xu came to Huailiu Lane with the invitation. Before he reached the bookstore, he heard laughter coming from inside. When he got closer, he smelled the aroma of food.
This bookstore is always lively as long as Xu Jiang is there.
Hu Xu stopped at the door for a moment and picked out a half-familiar voice from the laughter.
Why is this person here too?
He stepped into the room and said with a smile, "It's so lively."
"Zhuchun?" Shopkeeper Wang saw his husband was surprised, then delighted, and then quickly invited him to sit over.
Hu Xu stepped forward, his eyes involuntarily falling on Xu Jiang, who also had a smile on her face.
Deep inside the smile, there is relief and ease.
As usual, Xu Jiang invited Hu Xu to sit down and added bowls and chopsticks for him.
Hu Xu's slightly anxious heart gradually calmed down.
Not only Xu Jiang was afraid of losing her friends, he was too.
Shopkeeper Wang poured wine for Hu Xu. Hu Xu looked at Zeng Zhui who had a sour face and compensated him with the wine.
"Wen Feng, how about we forget all grudges with a smile?"
Zeng Zhui drank with him reluctantly, but later gradually relaxed and continued to chat and laugh.
A smile can erase all grudges and all delusions.
Hu Xu was immersed in the harmony in the room and thought to himself: This is good enough.
They were enjoying the meal when suddenly a man came in with a bunch of red plums.
When Hu Xu saw Xu Jiang's face flushed by the beautiful flowers, he suddenly realized that she had never shown such an expression to him before.
As she said, 'Always the same'.
He and she never started, never ended, and never entered the game.
At this moment, Hu Xu was completely relieved.
But being relieved does not mean giving up, so when Zeng Zhui encouraged him to compete, he agreed without hesitation.
And then lost.
But he was defeated wholeheartedly, no matter in which aspect.
He let himself go and drank to his heart's content, and finally floated back to the familiar streets on a soft cloud, but he lost his balance and fell headfirst to the earth.
"Hu Xu?"
In a daze, he heard a familiar voice and smelled the fragrance of orchid.
He opened his eyes and seemed to see an orchid.
When Song Qiao heard some noise outside, he put down his work and went to open the door.
But he didn't expect to see a drunk lying in front of his door. The drunk looked very familiar and came from the house opposite.
