Chen Xu noticed that there were many people looking here on the window on the second floor of the sales office and asked, "Are those above your colleagues?"

"Don't worry about them, let's go."

Yang Jinxia let go of her hand, looked at him, and smiled, "After cleaning her hair, she looks much more energetic." She pulled the raised collar, "I'm just a newly bought clothes."

Chen Xu raised his arm, smelled the jacket, and there was a unique smell of new clothes, and asked, "Does it taste more severe?"

"It's okay." Yang Jinxia pulled him and walked to the back of the sales office, where her car parked.

Before getting in the car, she handed him the key.

Chen Xu did not refuse, took the key, got in the car, and asked her, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"You make your own decision."

"Okay, today I'll take you to have something special."

Chen Xu drove to the riverside and turned into a street. Most of the residential buildings built in the 1990s, saying that they were new or old, and they were all built by themselves, one building was a family.

The car stopped in front of a restaurant.

"This is run by a relative of a high school classmate. The pork belly chicken here is good. After the college entrance examination, our class held a party and ate it here once."

Chen Xu took her into the restaurant. The decoration inside was a bit old, but it was very lively and almost full.

"It seems that there is no seat, do you have to wait?" Yang Jinxia asked.

"No." Chen Xu took out his cell phone, called the classmate, and after asking, he said to the waiter, "My name is Chen Xu, I have booked a Qingsong private room, please take me there."

"Wait a moment." After the waiter went to confirm, he took them to a private room.

After sitting down, Chen Xu saw Yang Jinxia looking at him thoughtfully and asked, "What's wrong?"

She said, "I just didn't expect that you would be so careful and arrange everything before you come."

"Be prepared for any trouble, make more preparations, so that things will not be in a hurry when things come to an end." Chen Xu said, disassembling both sets of dishes, taking the pot with hot water, and scalding all the dishes.

Yang Jinxia looked at his movements, her eyes changed a little, and she said softly, "It seems that I want to get to know you again."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "Even if you regret it now, it's too late." Then, he put the washed dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates in front of her.

"I have a gift for you."

He took the box out of his pocket and handed it over.

"What came from?" She took the box, looking a little surprised.

"Open and take a look."

She had some anticipation in her eyes, she uncovered the lid, looked at the necklace in the yellow brocade room, looked at him happily, and said, "It's so beautiful."

"Just like it."

She took out the necklace, put it in the palm of her hand, looked at the sun-shaped pendant, and liked it the more she looked at it, smiling at the corner of her mouth and said, "Put it on for me."

Chen Xu got up and walked behind her. She lifted her hair with one hand, revealing her slender and fair neck.

He took the necklace from her hand, unbuttoned the buttons, wrapped his hands in front of her, and grabbed one end of the necklace with one hand, slowly pulled it closer.

When he buttoned it, his fingers stroked across the skin on the back of her neck, and the pink touch made his heart slightly sway.

"Okay." He retracted his hand and returned to his seat.

Yang Jinxia put down her hair, took out the makeup mirror from her bag, and looked into the mirror.

Chen Xu was very happy to see that she really liked her.

To be honest, he used to give gifts to his ex-girlfriend, but he was always disliked, saying that he had a straight male aesthetic. After a few times, he stopped giving them. When he broke up, this became one of his faults, saying that he did not give gifts on holidays and birthdays.

After a while, the dishes came.

Yang Jinxia finally put down the mirror in her hand and picked up the chopsticks.

The two of them were having a chat while eating, talking about topics about the world and the north.

When Chen Xu was with her, she always had a very excited conversation. No matter what topic he said, she always listened patiently. Sometimes, even if she couldn't answer, she would not show an impatient expression, nor would she interrupt him.

This feeling is really great.

Of course, he would not keep talking nonstop. When he found that she didn't respond much, he knew that she was not interested and soon changed the topic.

Halfway through the meal, his cell phone rang, picked it up and looked, "It's my mother, I'll take it."

"Um."

On the phone, my mother first asked him where he was, and then asked him about his girlfriend, and in other words, she asked him to take the person back.

"Mom, I'm having a meal. Let's talk about it when I go back, yes, okay." Chen Xu said, hanging up the phone.

Yang Jinxia asked, "What did the aunt say?"

"Nothing." Chen Xu picked up a piece of meat for her and said, "Eat it quickly, the food will be cold later."

Yang Jinxia asked curiously, "Are you not very close to your aunt?"

"Why do you ask this?" Chen Xu was a little puzzled.

"I saw that when someone called his parents and said something similar, they were in a somewhat impatient tone." She explained, "When you said it just now, you were a little too polite, and it seemed like you were talking to friends."

Chen Xu was stunned, put down the chopsticks in his hand, crossed his hands together, and said, "Do you think this is not good?"

She said, "I just don't understand why you have to restrain yourself like this, to others, to me, to grandma, and to your parents."

Chen Xu talked about a past event, "I have a real uncle who loved me when I was a child. He had a good relationship with our family. When I was in high school, he and my father had a quarrel over business matters and said some excessive things to each other. After that, he no longer interacted with our family. When he saw me, he turned cold and asked him, but he ignored me."

"Actually, that was really a very small thing. My father's anger disappeared shortly afterwards. But he didn't expect that his uncle has been remembering until now. The relationship between the two families cannot be restored. That is my mother's brother."

He sighed when he said this, "This incident touched me deeply. In fact, the one who brought you the most hurt is often the people you are closest to. The people who look down on you the most may also be the people you are closest to."

"I kept wondering, why is this happening?"

"Later I understood a little that human habits are terrible. It is easy to become accustomed to the kindness of parents and relatives to you, and then, it is taken for granted. When one person thinks how another person should treat him, it is the beginning of the destruction of this relationship."

"You are my parents, so you should buy me a car and a house. You are born by me, so you should follow my arrangements. You are a boyfriend, so you should give in to me... If the other party wants something that the other party doesn't do, they will be disappointed, angry, and sad. Then they will get angry at the other party."

"Do you think it's outrageous just by listening to me? But such things happen all the time."

"The people you are closest to are often the ones you ignore the most. In front of him, you can take off all the disguises and hurt him without any scruples. And you don't know at all."

"Sometimes, I feel quite guilty when I think of my attitude towards my parents and relatives before."

"I don't want to hurt them at all, so I obey them."

"But it didn't take long before I found that this didn't work. Because I didn't want them to hurt me like this."

"I would rather step back and leave some distance for each other. I respect you and hope you can respect me. Isn't this good?"

Yang Jinxia listened quietly to his words, without speaking from beginning to end, but her expression was a little shaken, and her eyes contained something that Chen Xu couldn't understand.

Finally, she said in a very gentle tone, "I would have known you earlier."
