When Zhan Lei got out of the elevator again, he was extremely silent;
Xiaoyu sat in the hall without saying a word, and naturally didn't say a word about Cai Cai's sudden kiss.
One lowered his head, the other raised his head, and the two of them looked at each other, tacitly understanding that neither of them mentioned the embarrassment just now, and returned to the same calm conversational tone as before.
"Brother Zhan, you have come back from a long journey and have been waiting at the airport for so long. You should be hungry." Yan Xiaoyu broke the deadlock, coughed slightly, and suggested, "Let's go to a nearby restaurant that you like to eat."
Zhan Lei nodded without objection.
The two of them left the hotel and turned straight towards a nearby alley. After skillfully making three turns and five detours, they walked deep into a small restaurant with a small storefront but was run by a husband and wife and maintained extremely cleanly.
Two dishes, one soup, one meat and one vegetarian, all the dishes are what Xiaoyu likes to eat, the soup is the old-fashioned egg soup that Zhan Lei likes to drink, two bowls of rice are brought up, Xiaoyu looks at it and says happily, "The station commander is here again.
Are you coming back from vacation to see Miss Yan?"
I used to eat here often, and I am already a regular customer of the store. The boss and Zhan Lei were also old acquaintances in the army, so every time I came here to patronize, the young proprietress would definitely make fun of Xiao Yu and the officer Zhan.
Xiaoyu smiled slightly awkwardly, nodded, and did not answer.
Zhan Lei continued: "Brother and sister, don't talk nonsense. She and I are just friends."
His tone was calm and steady. Although his tone was a bit cold, Xiaoyu could hear that he didn't want to embarrass her. Just like in the past, he would explain things clearly and strictly.
"Hey, sir, don't you two admit it? You see, Miss Yan is obviously more beautiful and womanly than before this time. It's obviously a sign of love. If you still don't admit it, my husband and I are waiting for you."
I have been waiting for the wedding banquet for several years..."
The landlady is a girl from the Northeast. She is tall, outspoken, and has a cheerful temper. She has something to say. However, these words caused the embarrassing atmosphere that had been finally relieved to resurface again.
Xiaoyu coughed slightly and took the rice, speechless.
"Brothers and sisters, please have a pair of chopsticks." Zhan Lei raised his head, quietly interrupted the boss lady's words, and said in a low voice: "There is a shortage of tableware."
The landlady was stunned, then turned around to get the sterilized chopsticks and brought them to her. When she heard the man calling from behind, she stopped bothering her and went back to the kitchen.
Xiaoyu saw clearly that the landlady brought two sets of chopsticks, and also saw clearly how Zhan Lei quietly put the chopsticks down and left...
She sighed softly, "Brother Zhan, actually what happened just now..."
"Eat vegetables."
Zhan Lei interrupted her. He didn't say anything in particular, and he didn't understand. He just picked up some vegetables for her and said in a low voice, "I've lost weight. Eat more."
A firm tone always carries a hint of command.
But it's always easy to hear that cold concern.
The little fish said oh and began to eat obediently.
Zhan Lei picked up the spoon and started to drink the soup. He drank the old-fashioned spicy and sour egg soup that has not changed for many years. It was the same as before, with the same expression and movements.
This is a man who is used to silence.
When wearing military uniform, he is stern and unsmiling, which makes him appear to be a more serious person, which is awe-inspiring.
At this time, she changed into a simple and low-key plain clothes. Even without too many expensive and exaggerated decorations, it still highlights the low-temperature elegance in this calm color, like a black tree, standing silently, but taking the spotlight.
Human eyeball.
It took half an hour to finish the meal. When Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks, Zhan Lei received a call. Xiaoyu didn't know who was calling. He only heard Zhan Lei say, "Okay, I'll go over and talk to that lady in person."
talk."
Zhan Lei simply put down the phone.
Xiaoyu was smart this time. He got up in a hurry and ran to the kitchen, taking the initiative to pay the bill. Before he could shout, he stretched out his hand and handed a big red old man's head to the landlady——
The proprietress was facing away from Xiaoyu, clearing the plates, but when Xiaoyu reached out, her back was shocked, and she turned around and grabbed Xiaoyu's right arm and twisted it unconsciously. It took five seconds to realize that it was
Xiaoyu quickly let go and said with a slightly panicked smile: "Oh, Miss Yan is paying the bill this time. Just wait, I'll give you change..."
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, frowning in confusion, and after a long while, he shook his head, collected the change, turned and walked out of the kitchen, found Zhan Lei to explain a few words, and walked out of the restaurant with him.
After walking out of the door and walking in the alley, Xiaoyu couldn't bear his doubts and asked Zhan Lei: "Brother Zhan, that boss lady... is the wife of your comrade after he retired from the army. I remember you told me that her family comes from a scholarly family.
,How come it seems..."
It seems that he is proficient in professional grappling skills?"
Yes, it is a grappling technique.
The movements, reactions, and ability to fight back at that moment all belong to the category of grappling, and are very professional. It must take two to three years of learning to achieve a level.
Xiaoyu has excellent understanding in this area, so his self-sensing judgment is still very accurate.
"Liang Si's uncle is a well-known martial artist in the Northeast," Zhan Lei explained, still looking ahead, "There was a martial arts gym for a few years, but it was not managed well and was sold. Liang Si was in the martial arts gym when he was a child.
Stayed for a few years.”
"Oh, that's it."
Xiaoyu nodded, in awe, and sighed with emotion - masters, it turns out they are either among the people or around them!
After hailing a taxi, the two of them got in. Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but heard Zhan Lei announce the destination location.
It’s not anywhere else, it’s the apartment building where Yan Xiaoyu used to live.
Before Yan Xiaoyu could say anything, Zhan Lei said: "The lessor of the apartment called just now, saying that the guest who rented the apartment could not reach an agreement for the time being and there was a small problem."
"That lady, do you want to renew the lease?"
Zhan Lei nodded and acquiesced, "According to the landlord, this Miss Jian is very stubborn and needs me to coordinate it myself."
"Jane?" Xiaoyu tilted his head.
"What?" Zhan Lei also turned his head and looked at her.
"……nothing."
Xiaoyu paused for a while, smiled, and shook his head.
Zhan Lei didn't answer, and Xiaoyu also turned his head.
But he couldn't help but put his hands on his chest, frowning, puzzled——
Why does your heart beat wildly when you hear this last name?
