Chen Zhu actually doesn't like shopping, maybe boys are the same.

If Chen Zhu had to walk ten kilometers or stand all morning for work or study, he would not feel tired.

But after walking in a dazzling shopping mall, I felt exhausted and dizzy within five minutes, and my legs and feet began to feel sore.

I just want to find a small stool to sit in the corner and play with my phone while waiting for my girlfriend.

But this was just an inner thought. Chen Zhu came here to make up for the regret of not spending Christmas Eve and Christmas together. How could he be so perfunctory?

So everything went according to Yu Xian's wishes, and he and she entered the SKP mall again.

After walking two steps, Chen Zhu pulled the small bag on Yu Xian's shoulder and said with his head held high, "I'll carry this."

Yu Xian turned his head, his eyes bright: "Director Chen, do you want to help me carry my backpack?"

"of course."

Chen Zhu said with a serious face: "I think the best fashion item for a boy when shopping is his girlfriend's bag."

"Wow~"

Yu Xian was not polite, and even handed the small bag to Chen Zhu with a little pride: "I can actually let Director Chen serve me. I feel like I am already a successful person!"

I bought the small bag at the underground Tianhe City in Guangzhou. There are stalls connected to the subway, so it can't be said to be of high quality.

However, Yu Xian felt that this small bag worth tens of dollars was very comfortable to carry, and she would not feel embarrassed even if she went to such a luxury shopping mall.

People who are simple at heart or have a rich spiritual world are often not influenced by these external things.

…

Arriving at a clothing store called [DIOR] in English, Yu Xian picked up a blue and purple lined sweater and asked which one looked better.

Chen Zhu looked at it carefully twice: "Looking at the clothes alone, blue looks young and purple looks a bit more mature, but I suggest you try the gray one. This color is more versatile."

"Does Director Chen have any research on dressing?"

Yu Xian pinched her boyfriend's arm and said, "I don't see you being so professional at home, but you do show it outside."

The "home" here is Guangzhou, and the "outside" is other cities.

It was just a joke at first, but it sounded like a déjà vu after being married for many years.

This kind of store usually has a shopping guide lady. As soon as Chen Zhu and Yu Xian walked in, she was always with them, enthusiastically introducing the clothing styles and praising Yu Xian's beauty.

She heard the conversation between the two and said in surprise: "You look so young. Are you already married?"

Yu Xian pursed her red lips and glanced at Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu smiled and replied, "Isn't it possible?"

"No, it's not impossible. Getting married early has many benefits."

The shopping guide lady took advantage of the situation and said: "You can have children early, you can enjoy life early, and you can also plan to have a second child..."

"Hahaha~"

Chen Zhu couldn't help laughing, and poked Yu Xian with his elbow, and said teasingly: "They hope that we will have a second child. When should we start preparations?"

If it comes to other matters, Sichuan girl will definitely respond bravely.

Now Yu Xian pretends not to hear it. She and Chen Zhu have not even talked about having a baby, let alone having a baby. It is indeed a bit outrageous to talk about "preparing for a second baby".

But this time Chen Zhu came over, and the close relationship between the two had a breakthrough.

Just now in the hotel, Yu Xian almost gave up resistance, but Chen still managed to stop in time.

Next, the shopping guide continued to praise Yu Xian for her good figure and tender skin, and that the clothes in the store suited her temperament... a lot of them.

Then, they turned their expectant eyes to Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu hesitated for a moment.

Just like Huang Baihan ordering 699 yuan of red wine in a bar, men on such occasions, especially when they can afford it, are generally embarrassed to say: "We won't buy it, we are just strolling around."

Therefore, Chen Zhu had already taken out his wallet and was about to swipe his card, but was stopped by Yu Xian with a glare.

She said to the shopping guide: "Don't look for him, I'm in charge of the money at home!"

Chen Zhu was a little surprised that a stupid beauty would make such a high-EQ excuse just to save her boyfriend's face.

The shopping guide lady covered her mouth and chuckled, but it was not surprising at all. She probably thought that with Yu Xian's beautiful appearance, there was nothing wrong with occupying a strong position in the family.

Since Yu Meiren is in charge, based on her consumption philosophy, she will never spend money on luxury goods.

These are extremely cost-effective things. If Director Chen needs them for work, you can buy two for him to support the occasion.

As for himself, Yu Xian would really rather save money and buy ribs.

But after all, this is the first luxury shopping mall in China. Even if you don't buy anything, there is no such thing as "looking down on others".

When the two of them went out empty-handed, the clerk said politely: "Welcome to visit next time."

“The customer service staff of Zhongda Learning Network must be trained according to this standard in the future.”

Chen Zhu smacked his lips and said, "I have to ask Zhang Guangfeng to increase his efforts when I get back."

"Are Senior Sister Fang Qing and Senior Sister Lianlian still working in customer service?"

Yu Xian took Chen Zhuo's arm and asked casually: "Will they stay in the company after graduation?"

Chen Zhu thought for a while: "Fang Qing's personal intentions should be the biggest. The opinions she raised several times during the meeting were not from her own perspective at all. They were all for the benefit of the project."

"This is good. We all like to use familiar brushes when painting, and I guess the same goes for starting a business."

Yu Xian said in agreement: "Senior Sister Fang Qing is used to cooperating with you. She will know what to do with just one look from you."

"What is the habit of cooperation? It is a term used between peers. It is a private enterprise, and all the credit is due to my wise guidance."

Chen Zhu immediately corrected the wording "unhappily".

"Okay, okay, okay~"

Yu Xian raised his white and tender thumbs up: "Director Chen, you are the one!"

Although Yu Xian majored in art and had no business acumen, when Chen Zhu occasionally talked about career, she did not hesitate at all.

Yu Xian will listen carefully and give positive feedback.

Chen Zhu remembered that in his previous life, after Huang Baihan and Xu Yue got married, Xu Yue would always interrupt impatiently whenever Da Huang talked about IT technical issues at work.

In fact, this is like a girl telling a boy that the colors of lipstick include red, watermelon red, aunt red, brown red, rose red...etc.

It’s hard for boys to remember, but in a normal relationship, even if they don’t understand or remember, they should still respond positively.

If one party (whether male or female) is only passionate about his or her own interests and doesn't care about the other party's affairs, it is better to break up as soon as possible.

Because it will be divided sooner or later, and it is better to divide it later than to divide it early, especially not like Dahuang, who only thinks about dividing it after getting married and living a good life.

…

Chen Zhu's attentiveness goes beyond carrying a backpack and giving advice. When he passed by a reflector in a certain public area of ​​the mall.

Yu Xian hesitated a little, so Chen Zhu took the initiative and asked, "Do you want to take a photo?"

"right!"

Yu Xian nodded quickly. It was a rare occasion for him to go shopping in the capital with Director Chen, so he had to commemorate it.

"Group or single photo?"

Chen Zhu asked again.

“Of course I want to take a photo!”

After Yu Xian finished speaking, he pulled Chen Zhu up to the mirror, held hands, biye, and hugged each other all at once.

In fact, Chen Zhu has always felt that taking photos in public and posing in some poses is different from taking a dump on the street.

Or like a monkey, passers-by all around take a look at it.

But Yu Xian likes it. Chen Zhu not only obediently acts as a "photography partner" or "humanoid background", but also thoughtfully points out how to pose.

"Although you have an oval face with no blind spots, I still recommend that you lower your chin slightly when taking pictures in the mirror."

"This way, there are shadows and layers, and the facial features are super three-dimensional."

"Bie's gesture is too childish. You have long legs, so you can do it in a cross-standing position. This will make you look like a royal lady."

"I'll teach you another trick. Next time you take a photo, put your hand on your forehead as if blocking the sun. This will make the photo more natural and softer."

…

Yu Xian listened blankly, posed obediently, and then asked doubtfully: "Director Chen, how do you know so many photography skills?"

Chen Zhu took out his mobile phone with a smile and searched for the term "How to take photos of my girlfriend in the mall" on the WAP Baidu website.

Yu Xian chuckled after reading it. She was not angry at all. She felt that her boyfriend plagiarized some sweet words from the Internet to comfort her.

On the contrary, Yu Xian was very happy. Director Chen was willing to do this, which showed that he valued this date in his heart.

In particular, Yu Xian knew her boyfriend's habit of not liking taking pictures. Today, he obeyed her like this, and he was absolutely happy.

Of course, in Chen Zhu's opinion, there was only "emotion" and no "value", because under Yu Xian's strict supervision, the two of them didn't buy anything. They really had no money to go shopping.

Except for the two cups of milk tea that cost 26 on the way, college students can go shopping without buying anything or even eating, but milk tea cannot be saved.

Soon it was noon, and most of the SKP shopping mall was already occupied. I asked for instructions on where to eat.

"There's no rush."

Finally, Yu Xian took Chen Zhu to the wine stall.

Chen Zhu looked at the various Louis XIII, Hennessy, Chivas Regal, as well as domestic ones such as Moutai, Wuliangye and Dream Blue...

Needless to say, these are all genuine, and some are quite old, so the price can easily reach tens of thousands.

"Do you want to give a gift to the school leaders?"

Chen Zhu was a little strange. Logically speaking, Yu Xian's personality was not to mention giving gifts. In interpersonal relationships, she would not even bother to say a word about complimenting her against her will.

"I won't give it to the school leaders."

Yu Xian first said "cut", and then winked jokingly: "emmm...but it is indeed for the leader."

"Who?"

Chen Zhu immediately helped with reference: "What is the identity of the other person, how old is he, what are his hobbies... Sending wine is very important. If you do it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort. People will always remember you."

"The other party..."

Yu Xian tilted his head and thought for a while, with a mischievous look in his eyes: "Freshman, I'm just 19 years old this year. I don't have any hobbies. I just like to talk sense to others and pretend to be a teacher, and I also like to control me..."

Yu Xian said while looking at Chen Zhu with a smile.

Only then did Chen Zhu realize that he gave it to me?

Chen Zhu thought to himself that I have a good drinking capacity, but I am not that addicted to alcohol.

He was about to tell Yu Xian that based on our relationship, if you need anything, just give him a kiss and give him any gifts.

I heard Yu Xian ask the clerk: "Do you have an 82-year-old Lafite?"

Chen Zhu was stunned.

The clerk was also stunned for a moment, and then politely replied: "We don't have Lafite of this vintage."

"Neither do you."

Yu Xian was immediately disappointed: "I have visited all the liquor stalls in Guangzhou shopping malls, and they don't have any."

The clerk explained: "There are very few stocks of Lafite of this vintage in the world. It has broken away from the category of wine and has become a collectible antique, so it is basically not sold on the market."

"Director Chen, what should we do?"

Yu Xian turned to look at Chen Zhu and said pitifully.

"What to do?"

Chen Zhu was still wondering: "Who am I? Do I deserve to drink Lafite from 1982? Besides, I never mentioned it."

"You said that before!"

Yu Xian lightly stomped on his Martin boots: "That time in high school, at the convenience store in Shangxiajiu, you said that when I treat you to dinner, you must open a bottle of 1982 Lafite. Later, I searched online and found out that it was red wine...

…”

Chen Zhu finally remembered. It seemed to be March at that time. He just made a joke casually, but Yu Xian still remembered it so clearly.

The nonsense that started after "Heroes Save Beauty" actually closed the loop 9 months later.

"Harmful!"

Chen Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he put his arm around Yu Xian's shoulders and walked outside the shop.

"That's just a joke. Don't remember it so clearly. Now let me tell you a wish again. How long will it take for you to help it come true?"

"What wish?"

"Just now, there was unfinished business in the hotel."

"...Director Chen, what do you want to eat for lunch? Can I take you to eat roast duck?"

"I'm talking to you about business."

"Want to eat noodles with soybean paste? That's fine too. The professor from CAFA took us to eat some very delicious noodles with soybean paste last time. Director Chen also went to try it."

…

Based on his memory and inquiries with the taxi driver, Yu Xian finally succeeded in taking Chen Zhu to a noodle shop called "Hai Wan Ju".

Chen Zhu glanced at the plaque and thought it looked familiar. Later he remembered that Yue Yunpeng seemed to have worked here. He wondered if he had gone to Deyun Club at this time.

There were many guests here, some with accents who were obviously from the South. Chen Zhu and Yu Xian waited in line for more than half an hour to wait for their number.

When I walked in, I found that the decoration inside was also antique. A bowl of noodles with fried bean paste was 30 yuan, which was not cheap in 2008.

But the portion is very large, and it also comes with a plate with eight kinds of ingredients such as sauce, chopped green onion, shredded cucumber, etc. Although they are all cheap side dishes, they are more classy.

Yu Xian had a small appetite, so the two of them only wanted a bowl of noodles, and also ordered some Beijing-style delicacies such as Jiao Rings, Paodu, Qianlong Cabbage, and Fried Enema.

After eating, Chen Chu was not only very full, but also had a salty taste in his throat that couldn't be removed by drinking plain water.

“It’s delicious, but it’s too salty.”

Chen Zhu coughed and commented that people in eastern Guangdong can get used to eating light Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian cuisine, but if it is too heavy, they will be insensitive.

"That's it..."

Yu Xian felt a little guilty. She just thought about it snowing today and taking Director Chen to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup to warm her body.

Chen Zhu noticed Yu Xian's micro-expression and immediately said: "I'm worried that it's too salty, which will affect my ability to say sweet words of love."

After hearing Chen Zhu's humorous explanation, Yu Xian smiled and ran to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of Pulse and handed it over.

"You don't have to eat, but I must listen to Director Chen's sweet words."

Yu Xian said sternly.

This is the way Chen Zhu and Yu Xian get along, relaxed, free, lively and sweet.

…

It was only 2 pm after lunch, and it was around 7 pm when the plane tickets were ready.

In fact, Chen Zhu could have stayed a little later, but Yu Xian would definitely have to go to the airport to see her off. In order to prevent her from returning to the hotel too late alone, Chen Zhu would try to go as early as possible.

And after returning to Guangzhou, I might be able to take a walk around the office.

Chen Zhu didn't go to the company today. He only said this to Zeng Kun and Zhang Guangfeng. Others would probably be curious. Isn't the big boss curious about today's performance growth?

In fact, Chen Zhu's mentality is very stable. The Himalayas were not formed in a day, and the effect of an advertisement that was only broadcast for one day will be limited.

"Zhongda Learning Network" will slowly occupy most of the market, just like SF Express back then, becoming the overlord and first choice in the express delivery industry.

Only the leftover materials that are not favored can be competed by other tutoring platforms.

"Where are we going now?"

Yu Xian stood tall and graceful beside Chen Zhu, raising his head and asked.

Looking at the fish showing off his defense, there is a kind of naivety in his expression that does not understand the world. He is so pure that he seems to want to squeeze out the water, but his facial features are beautiful and he looks like a little vixen.

Between the movements of his eyebrows and eyes, every time he passes by Chen Zu's figure, it is like the broken light that lights up when a young deer wakes up.

"go……"

Chen Zhu found that at some point, light snow started to fall in the air again.

"Let's go to the Forbidden City and see it."

Chen Zhu exhaled a hot breath and said.

The Forbidden City in the snow is the Forbidden City. Although Chen Zhu never watched Qing court operas, he did not want to miss the opportunity to admire historical relics.

It's not far from Haiwanju to the Forbidden City, it takes about 20 minutes by taxi.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of tourists today. Neither Chen Zhu nor Yu Xian wanted to hold an umbrella. They stepped on the crunching snow and walked along the Meridian Gate towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony after buying tickets.

Although there are bustling figures everywhere, it does not affect the majesty and tranquility of the Forbidden City at all.

This sense of heaviness not only exists in the Forbidden City, but also covers the entire city, so that the capital feels like just five words——

Cold solemnity.

This is completely different from Nanjing. Nanjing was also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but it feels like a girl from Jiangnan in the lingering rain, babbling and singing "Su San Qi Jie" by the Qinhuai River.

Chen Zhu, who is pursuing an official career, likes the capital;

Chen Zhu, who walks in shopping malls, likes Nanjing.

Chen Zhu now likes Yu Xian next to him.

However, the Forbidden City was still so big that Chen Zhu and Yu Xian had just walked to the Yangxin Hall with their hair and shoulders covered with snowflakes.

"Director Chen, there is snow on your eyebrows."

Yu Xian chuckled and said, "Looks like a little old man."

"If I were a little old man, then you would also be a little old lady."

Chen responded with a smile.

"A little old lady is a little old lady."

Yu Xian hummed and said, "Then I am also a little old lady who can draw."

Chen Zhu was at a loss for words. He couldn't say that he was a little old man who was good at intrigues. That was called "being old and not dying is a thief".

However, the title of "little old man and little old lady" made Yu Weibo think about it.

It would be so romantic if, fifty years later, I and Director Chen came to the Forbidden City again and it was another snowy day.

"Happy~"

Yu Xian laughed as he thought about it.

She pulled Chen Zhu under the eaves of a palace, said "ha" in the palm of her hand, and then rubbed it quickly.

When her palms started to feel warm, she stood on tiptoes and put her palms against Chen Zu's face.

"Are you afraid I'll be cold?"

Chen Zhu laughed dumbly, feeling the slightest warmth from his palms.

"Yes."

Yu Xian said matter-of-factly: "It's also very cold in Sichuan and Chongqing in winter, so I'm used to it, but you've never experienced this kind of snowy weather in Guangzhou, so be careful of your face getting frozen."

"I won't use it if it's frozen."

Chen Zhu said with a smile.

Yu Xian ignored her boyfriend's words and continued to breathe, rub, and then cover Chen Zhu's face.

Chen Zhu lowered his head, and there was a drop of water hanging on Yu Xian's temple. It should have condensed after the falling snow melted, but it reflected the snow in the sky, fair skin, dark eyes and vermilion lips...

It was as if the whole world had disappeared, and only Yu Xian was left in the world.

Chen Zhu sighed suddenly in his heart, raised his hand to rub it, and then covered Yu Xian's cheek.

"Your face is much more precious than mine."

Chen Zhu said: "I have been disfigured, and there are still Yanzu Guanxi and Cheng Wu on the earth, but you have been disfigured, and the art world has lost an artist with no flaws in the hexagon."

"Goose goose..."

Yu Xian was amused and laughed again.

Since they had a tight time to catch the flight, the two of them then walked along the route of Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace.

At around 4:30, I finally saw the "Shenwu Gate" at the exit of the Forbidden City.

At this time, the Forbidden City is about to be cleared and closed, and lights are lit everywhere.

The yellowish light shines on the red wall and gold tiles, and Bo Xue seems to be shy suddenly, revealing a little pink.

“Poetic and picturesque.”

Chen Zhu was admiring in his heart when suddenly a pair of young people who were also lovers passed by.

A girl acts coquettishly to a boy: "You carry me on your back, my feet are so sore from walking around."

The boy might feel a little embarrassed to be in public, so he said shyly: "Can I help you?"

"no!"

The girl said angrily: "You must carry it!"

The boy hesitated for a moment and finally bent down.

At this moment, a proud smile burst out on the girl's face, adding a lot of beauty to her otherwise unremarkable face.

Chen Zhu glanced at Yu Xian out of the corner of his eye, and Xiao Nizi also stared at the couple with a smile on her lips.

The boy carried the girl on his back and stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Chen Zhu walked up to Yu Xian silently and suddenly bent down.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Xian was startled.

"I can't explain it in time."

Chen Zhu urged: "Get on the horse first and then talk."

Only then did Yu Xian understand what Chen Zhu meant, and the ends of his eyes turned slightly red, just like the petals of an oleander in midsummer.

But she didn't go up, probably because she felt sorry for Chen Zhu, who had walked so much like her, so why was she willing to let him carry it.

"Hurry up."

Chen Zhu invited again.

"Okay~"

Yu Xian sniffed, walked over and gently leaned on Chen Zhu's back.

Chen Zhu used his strength to carry this love-minded Sichuan girl on his back.

Less than twenty steps away from the Shenwu Sect, Chen Zhu walked steadily, Yu Baopao remained silent and rested his head quietly on his boyfriend's shoulder.

Chen Zhu teased her: "Am I Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back?"

Yu Xian didn't answer.

"Did I carry you too comfortably and you fell asleep?"

Chen Zhu asked again.

Yu Xian still remained silent.

"Hello!"

Chen Zhu patted her butt: "You have to say something to express your gratitude."

At this time, Yu Xian finally reacted.

She suddenly reached out her hand, turned Chen's chin over, and kissed him "mua" on the face.

Then he lowered his head and muttered: "Director Chen, you smell so good."

"ah?"

Chen Zhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed "hahaha": "You are a female hooligan."

What kind of Christmas Eve, what kind of Christmas, to Yu Xian, is it as happy as this day in the capital on January 2, 2008?

…
Chapter completed!
