On the way, Song Chu didn't say much, letting the two reminisce about the past.

Gu Yue and Yan Fei asked each other about their recent situation.

Gu Yue asked with a smile: "Why did you want to come to our small county to work?"

Yan Fei replied: "I have a mission and need to come here to experience different work experiences."

Gu Yue knew that he was recruited into the National Security Bureau, so he did not hide it.

In fact, Gu Yue was also valued and invited back then, but Gu Yue declined, and they never became colleagues.

Because of this incident, we had an argument and a conflict.

Now that he thinks about it, he was a bit extreme in the past, always hoping to work and fight with his friends. In fact, everyone's choices are different, and the friendship can remain unchanged even if they are separated.

Gu Yue nodded: "Very good."

"What about you? Do you want to stay here forever?" Yan Fei asked.

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Who can tell what will happen in the future? I will definitely stay here now. You know why I came here as an educated youth. As long as my grandfather is still here, I will not leave."

In addition to his grandfather, Song Xiaochu is also the one who is concerned about him in this place.

After experiencing the breakdown of his family and the events that happened to his mother and ex-sister-in-law, he values ​​his family and loved ones more than his work and future.

Yan Fei expressed his understanding. If it were him, he might make the same choice as Gu Yue.

I used to be young and energetic, and I was very confused about Gu Yue’s sudden decision to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Now that I have experienced so much, I understand it.

"That's true, but you can shine wherever you are. I've heard Sheng Qingyang praise you many times as the technical pillar of our county's economic office. You also boast about how many people tried to poach you but you failed." He chuckled.

Gu Yue laughed: "It's okay, I prefer to do technical research."

As they talked along the way, they arrived at the state-owned restaurant and the three of them ordered food.

Gu Yue chuckled to Song Chu and said, "I'm lucky today. These are all your favorite dishes."

Song Chu's eyebrows were tinged with a smile, "Thanks to you."

The two of them were talking quite close to each other, and Song Chu even deliberately reached out to help Gu Yue straighten the collar of his shirt in front of Yan Fei, "The button is crooked."

Gu Yue's handsome face was full of tenderness, "Just help me button it up."

Yan Fei narrowed his eyes as he watched the two of them interacting like this.

From the time Gu Yue appeared until now, he had been observing the two of them and discovered many problems.

For example, when she had interacted with Song Chu before, she would never walk side by side with them, but always keep a certain distance.

Not to mention doing something that looks extremely ambiguous.

The conversations were also very formal, just like those between colleagues and friends, and I basically didn't talk about personal matters with them.

They had dined together privately three times, and Huo Kai was present every time.

The first time he invited Song Chu as a way of repaying him, the second time Huo Kai invited Song Chu to dinner to express his gratitude, and the third time Huo Kai wanted to meet Gu Jin, so he asked Song Chu to take him to dinner. He happened to hear the suggestion and wanted to meet him too, so he went along.

Later, he invited Song Chu twice privately, but she said she had something to do and didn't go.

He couldn't help but wonder, was she so ready to agree just now because of Gu Yue's invitation? And he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that Song Chu suddenly raised his hand to help Gu Yue adjust the buttons on his collar, deliberately for him to see...

Originally, he had great passion and hope in pursuing Song Chu, but now seeing the intimacy and ambiguity between Gu Yue and Song Chu, he suddenly became unsure and felt as if he had been poured a bucket of cold water.

He felt bad, but still looked at Song Chu with a smile on his face, "Gu Yue called you Song Xiaochu?"

Now almost everyone in the village, or people she knows or is familiar with, calls her Chuchu, so this name is not much different from calling her Songchu.

But she only allowed Gu Yue to call her Song Xiaochu, and she would only call Gu Yue Gu Xueshen.

The smile in Gu Yue's eyes deepened, "Yes, this is our exclusive name."

Yan Fei: “…”

The feeling of being force-fed dog food is extremely uncomfortable.

The dishes came up soon, and Song Chu ate much faster than the others.

It took only ten minutes to finish the meal. She looked at her watch and said to the two of them, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys can eat slowly and catch up while you're here."

When Yan Fei invited her to dinner before, she was originally going to refuse.

However, Gu Xueshen suddenly came back, and the two of them invited her together, so she agreed.

She didn't want to affect the two people's reminiscing about the past, but she wanted to assert her sovereignty in front of Yan Fei, saying explicitly or implicitly that Gu Yue already had a partner, so your sister should stop thinking about him.

That's why they came along for a meal. Now that the sovereignty has been declared, it's natural to leave the space for two people who haven't seen each other for a long time to reminisce.

Gu Yue knew that Song Chu was giving them room to talk, so he didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll come find you later."

Yan Fei's thoughts were a bit confused now, "Go and get busy, see you later!"

Song Chu waved to the two of them, turned around and left the state-owned hotel.

Watching her disappearing figure, Yan Fei retracted his gaze and asked Gu Yue: "Are you and Song Chu just colleagues?"

Although he asked this, he himself actually didn't believe it.

Are there any colleagues who are so ambiguous? He has never seen Song Chu be so close to other colleagues.

Gu Yue not only has a high IQ, but also a high EQ. He looked up at Yan Fei and asked meaningfully, "Are you concerned about the relationship between me and Song Chu?"

Based on his understanding of Yan Fei, this man seemed to be gentle with everyone he got along with, but he was actually very cold to people he didn't care about, and didn't care at all in private.

Yan Fei took out a cigarette and handed it to Gu Yue, but Gu Yue shook his head and refused. He lit one for himself, "Yeah, I'm concerned."

Gu Yue put down his chopsticks and asked bluntly: "What's the reason? It can't be because of Yan Yu, right?"

They had a conflict before because he was annoyed by Yan Yu's harassment, so he talked to Yan Fei and asked the Yan family to take care of it.

It happened that they talked about future work that day, and after drinking some wine, they had an argument and were in a cold war for a long time.

It was not until something happened to the Gu family that Yan Fei took the initiative to find him again.

But he knew that Yan Fei was not so respectful to Yan Yu.

Yan Fei didn't want to play tricks on his friend, so he said to Gu Yue directly: "I like her, so I want to know your relationship."

Gu Yue was not surprised by this answer. If a man pays a lot of attention to a woman, he usually likes her.

What's more, Song Xiaochu is very outstanding and special, and has a very attractive charm.

Gu Yue looked at him frankly and replied, "I like her too."
