Chapter 283 Chen Zhuo, you smell so good! Chen Zhe actually doesn’t like shopping, maybe all boys are the same. If it is because of work or study, Chen Zhe will not feel tired even if he walks ten kilometers or stands for a whole morning. But after walking in the dazzling shopping mall for just five minutes, I felt mentally exhausted, dizzy, and my legs and feet started to ache. I just want to find a small stool to sit in the corner, playing with my phone while waiting for my girlfriend. But this was just what he thought in his heart. Chen 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 she and I went back into the SKP shopping mall. After walking two steps, Chen Zhuo even pulled the small bag on Yu Xian's shoulder, and said with his head held high: "I'll carry this." Yu Xian turned around, his eyes sparkling: "Director Chen, do you want to help me carry my backpack?" "of course."
Chen said seriously, "I think the best fashion item for a guy when shopping is his girlfriend's bag." "Wow~" Yu Xian was not polite, and even handed the small package to Chen Zhe with a little pride: "I can actually get Director Chen to serve me. I feel like I am already a successful person!" The small package was bought in the underground Tianhe City in Guangzhou, which is full of stalls and shops connected to the subway, so it is not of high quality at all. However, Yu Xian felt that this small bag worth only a few dozen dollars was very comfortable to carry, and she would not feel embarrassed even when she came to such a top luxury shopping mall. People who are simple-minded or have a rich spiritual world are often not influenced by these external things. …… Arriving at a clothing store named [DIOR] in English, Yu Xian picked up a blue and a purple lined sweater and asked which one looked better. Chen looked at it carefully twice: "If you just look at the clothes, the blue one looks young, and the purple one looks a bit mature, but I suggest you try the gray one, it's a more versatile color." "Director Chen also has research on dressing?" Yu Xian pinched her boyfriend's arm and said, "You're not so professional at home, but you show it off when you're outside." The “home” here is Guangzhou, and the “outside” is other cities. It was just a joke, but it sounds like we've been married for many years. There are shopping guides in this kind of store. As soon as Chen Zhuo and Yu Xian entered the store, they stayed by their side, enthusiastically introducing the styles of clothes and praising Yu Xian's beauty. She heard their conversation and said in surprise: "You look so young, are you married already?" Yu Xian pursed her red lips and glanced at Chen Zhe. Chen smiled and replied: "Is it not possible?" "No, there are so many advantages to getting married early." The salesgirl said, "You can have a baby early, enjoy life early, and plan for a second child..."
"Hahaha~" Chen Zhuo couldn't help laughing, and poked Yu Xian with his elbow, saying teasingly: "People want us to have a second child. When do we start preparing?" If it were anything else, Sichuan girls would definitely respond bravely. Now Yu Xian pretended not to hear it. She and Chen Zhe hadn't even reached that stage, let alone talking about having the first child. It was indeed a bit outrageous that they were talking about "preparing for the second child". However, this time when Chen came over, there was a breakthrough in their close relationship. Just now in the hotel, Yu Xian almost gave up resistance, but he stopped in time with Chen's eyes. Next, the salesgirl continued to praise Yu Xian for her good figure, fair skin, and that the clothes in the store suited her temperament... and so on. Then, they turned their expectant eyes to Chen Zhe. Chen hesitated for a moment. Just like Huang Baihan insisting on ordering a 699 yuan bottle of red wine at the bar, men in such situations, especially if they can afford it, are generally embarrassed to say, "We're not buying, we're just strolling around." So, 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 salesgirl, "Don't look for him. I'm the one who manages the money at home!" Chen was a little surprised that the silly beauty would make such an emotionally intelligent excuse just to save her boyfriend's face. The salesgirls all covered their mouths and chuckled, but they were not surprised at all. They probably thought that with Yu Xian's pretty looks, there was nothing wrong with her dominance at home. Since Miss Yu is the one who calls the shots, based on her consumption philosophy, she will definitely not spend money on luxury goods. These are extremely cost-effective items. If Director Chen needs them for his work, you can buy him two pieces to show off his skills. As for himself, Yu Xian would really rather save money and buy spare ribs. However, this is the first luxury goods shopping mall in China after all. Even if you don’t buy anything, there won’t be any cliché scenes of “looking down on people”. When the two of them left empty-handed, the clerk politely said, "Welcome to visit us next time." “The customer service staff of Zhongda Learning Network will have to be trained according to this standard in the future.” Chen smacked his lips and said, "I have to ask Zhang Guangfeng to step up his efforts when I get back." "Are Senior Sisters Fang Qing and Lian Lian still working in customer service?" Yu Xian took Chen Zhuo's arm and asked casually, "Will they stay in the company after graduation?" Chen thought for a moment and said, "Fang Qing's personal interests should be the greatest. She raised several opinions during the meeting, but they were not from her own perspective at all. They were all for the benefit of the project." "This is good. When we paint, we all like to use familiar brushes. I guess it's the same when starting a business." Yu Xian agreed and said, "Senior Fang Qing is used to cooperating with you. She knows what to do with just one glance from you." "What do you mean by cooperative habits? That's a term used between peers. Su Hui is a private company. All the credit goes to my wise guidance." Chen Zhuo immediately corrected the wording with "unhappy".
"Okay, okay, okay~" Yu Xian raised his white and tender thumbs up: "Director Chen, you are this!" Although Yu Xian studied art and had no business acumen, she was never perfunctory when Chen Zhuo occasionally talked about her career. Yu Xian would listen very carefully and give positive feedback. Chen recalled that in his previous life, after Huang Baihan and Xu Yue got married, whenever Huang Baihan talked about IT technical issues at work, Xu Yue would always interrupt him impatiently. In fact, this is like a girl telling a boy that there are many colors of lipstick, such as bright red, watermelon red, aunt red, brown red, rose red... and so on. How can boys remember it? But in a normal relationship, even if they don’t understand or remember, they should still give a positive response. If one party (regardless of man or woman) is only enthusiastic about his or her own interests and hobbies, and does not want to ask about the other half's affairs at all, it is better to break up as soon as possible. Because separation is inevitable sooner or later, it is better to separate early than later, especially not like Dahuang, who thought about separation after getting married and starting to live together. …… Chen's attentiveness went beyond carrying the backpack and giving advice. When passing by a reflective mirror in a public area of the mall. Yu Xian hesitated a little, so Chen Zhuo took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to take a photo?" "Correct!" Yu Xian nodded his head quickly. It was a rare opportunity for him to go shopping in the capital with Director Chen, so he had to commemorate it. "Group photos and individual photos?" Chen asked again. “Of course we have to take a photo!” After Yu Xian finished speaking, he pulled Chen Zhuo to the mirror and did all the poses like holding hands, making a "V" sign, and hugging. In fact, Chen Zhuo has always felt that taking photos in public and posing is no different from taking a shit on the street. Or like a monkey, every passerby will take a look at it. However, Yu Xian liked it. Chen Zhe not only obediently served as a "photo-taking partner" or "human background", but also considerately pointed out how to pose. "Although you have an oval face with no dead angles, I still suggest that you lower your chin a little when taking photos in front of the mirror." "This way, there are shadows and layers, and the facial features are super three-dimensional." "The "V" sign is too childish. You have long legs, so you can take a photo with your legs crossed. This way you can look more like a queen." "I'll teach you another trick. Next time you take a photo, put your hand on your forehead, as if blocking the sun. This way the photo will be more natural and soft." …… Yu Xian listened blankly, posed obediently, and then asked in confusion: "Director Chen, how come you know so many photography techniques?" Chen took out his mobile phone with a smile and searched the entry "How to take a photo of your girlfriend in a shopping mall" on the Baidu website of WAP. Yu Xian giggled after reading it. She was not angry at all. She thought that her boyfriend was just plagiarizing some sweet words from the Internet to coax her.
On the contrary, Yu Xian was very happy. Director Chen was willing to do this, which showed that he attached great importance to this date. Especially since Yu Xian knew that her boyfriend didn’t like taking photos, and he obeyed her like this today, she was absolutely extremely happy. Of course, in Chen Zhe's opinion, there was only "emotion" but no "value" because under Yu Xian's strict supervision, the two of them didn't buy anything and they were really just shopping without money. Except for two cups of milk tea costing 26 yuan, college students can choose not to buy anything while shopping, or even not to eat, but they must not save on milk tea. It was soon noon and most of the SKP shopping mall had been visited, so Chen asked for instructions on where to go for dinner. "Not in a hurry." Finally, Yu Xian pulled Chen Zhuo to the liquor stall. Looking at the various brands of Louis XIII, Hennessy, Chivas Regal, and domestic brands such as Moutai, Wuliangye and Mengzhilan... Needless to say, these are all authentic, and some of them are quite old, so the prices are easily tens of thousands. "Are you going to give a gift to the school leaders?" Chen felt a little strange. According to Yu Xian's personality, she would not even bother to say a word about insincere flattery, let alone giving gifts, in interpersonal relationships. "I'm not going to give it to the school leaders." Yu Xian first snorted, then winked jokingly: "Emmm...but it is indeed a gift for the leader." "Who?" Chen Zhuo immediately helped to find out: "What is the other person's identity, how old is he, what hobbies does he usually have... Giving wine as a gift is very particular. If you give it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and the other person will always remember you." "The other party..." Yu Xian tilted his head and thought for a while, with a mischievous look in his eyes: "I'm a freshman, I'm just 19 years old this year, I don't have any hobbies, I just like to lecture people and act like a teacher, and I also like to control me..." Yu Xian said this while looking at Chen with a smile on his face. Chen Zhuo then realized, is this for me? Chen Zhu thought to himself, I can drink a lot, but I'm not that fond of it. He was just about to say to Yu Xian that given their relationship, if she had any needs she could just give her a kiss, and it would be too formal to give her a gift. Yu Xian asked the clerk, "Excuse me, do you have 82 Lafite?" Chen was stunned. The clerk was also stunned for a moment, and then politely replied: "We don't have Lafite of this year." "You don't have any either." Yu Xian was a little disappointed: "I went to all the liquor stalls in Guangzhou shopping malls, and they didn't have it either." The clerk explained: "There are very few Lafite bottles of this vintage in the world. It has gone beyond 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 Zhe and said pitifully. "What do you mean?" Chen Zhuo was still wondering: "Who am I to deserve to drink 82 Lafite? Besides, I never mentioned it." "You said that before!" Yu Xian stomped his Martin boots lightly: "When we were in high school, at the convenience store in Shangxiajiu, you said that when I invited you to dinner, I must open a bottle of 82 Lafite. I later searched online and found out that this was red wine..." Chen Zhuo finally remembered. It seemed to be March at that time. He was just making a joke, but Yu Xian actually remembered it so clearly. The nonsense speech after "the hero saves the beauty" actually completed the loop 9 months later. "Oh no!" Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He put his arm around Yu Xian's shoulders and walked out of the store. "That was just a joke. You shouldn't remember it so clearly. Now I'll repeat my wish. How long will it take you to help me realize it?" "What wish?" "Just now, unfinished business at the hotel." "... Director Chen, what do you want to eat for lunch? How about I take you to eat roast duck?" "I'm talking to you about business." "Want to eat noodles with soybean paste? That's fine. Last time, a professor from CAFA took us to a restaurant that served delicious noodles with soybean paste. Director Chen should go try it, too." …… Based on his memory and asking the taxi driver, Yu Xian finally successfully brought Chen Zhuo to a noodle restaurant called "Haiwanju". Chen glanced at the plaque and felt it looked familiar. Then he remembered that Yue Yunpeng seemed to have worked here before. He wondered if he had gone to Deyun Club at that time. There are a lot of customers here, some of whom are obviously from the south with accents. Chen Zhuo and Yu Xian waited in line for more than half an hour before they got their number. When I walked in, I found that the decoration inside was also antique. A bowl of noodles with soybean paste cost 30 yuan, which was not cheap in 2008. But the portion is quite large, and it comes with a plate of eight kinds of condiments, including sauce, chopped green onions, cucumber shreds, etc. Although they are all inexpensive side dishes, the taste is improved. Yu Xian has a small appetite, so the two of them only ordered a bowl of noodles, and also ordered some Beijing-style delicacies such as fried dough sticks, stir-fried tripe, Qianlong cabbage, and fried sausage. After eating, Chen Zhe not only felt full, but also had a salty taste in his throat that couldn't be dissipated even with plain water. “It’s delicious, but too salty.” Chen commented with a cough, saying that people in eastern Guangdong are accustomed to eating light Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian cuisines, but they would refuse any cuisine that is too strong. "That's it..." Yu Xian felt a little guilty. She just wanted to take Director Chen to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup to warm himself up since it was snowing today. Chen Zhuo noticed Yu Xian's expression and immediately said, "I'm worried that it's too salty and will affect my ability to say sweet words." After hearing Chen Zhuo's humorous explanation, Yu Xian finally smiled and ran to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of Pocari Sweat and handed it over.
"I don't have to eat, but I have to listen to Director Chen's sweet words." Yu Xian said in a serious tone. This is how Chen Zhuo and Yu Xian get along with each other, relaxed, free, lively and sweet. …… It was only 2pm after lunch, and the flight was around 7pm. Actually, Chen Zhe could have left later, but Yu Xian would definitely go to the airport to see him off, so in order to prevent her from returning to the hotel too late, Chen Zhe tried to leave earlier. And after returning to Guangzhou, maybe I can take a walk around the office. Chen Zhuo did not go to the company today. He only told Zeng Kun and Zhang Guangfeng. Others would probably be curious. Isn’t the boss curious about today’s performance growth? In fact, Chen Zhuo's mentality is very stable. The Himalayas were not formed in a day, and the effect of an advertisement that only airs for one day will be limited. "Zhongda Learning Network" will slowly occupy most of the market, just like SF Express did in the past, and become the dominant force and first choice in the express delivery industry. Only some of the scraps that are not valued will be snatched up by other tutoring platforms. "Where are we going now?" Yu Xian stood gracefully beside Chen Zhao and asked with her head raised. Looking at the defenseless look of Yu Baibai towards him, there was a kind of naivety in her expression, as pure as if she could be pinched out of water, but her beautiful facial features made her look like a little vixen. Whenever his eyes moved, his figure passed by Chen Zhuo, it was like the fragments of light that appeared when a young deer was startled. "go……" Chen found that light snow started falling from the sky again without him noticing. "Let's go to the Forbidden City." Chen said as he let out a hot breath. The Forbidden City in the snow is the Forbidden City. Although Chen Zhe never watches Qing Dynasty dramas, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to pay homage to historical relics. It is not far from Haiwanju to the Forbidden City, and it only takes about 20 minutes by taxi. Unexpectedly, there were so many tourists today. Neither Chen Zhuo nor Yu Xian had the mind to hold an umbrella. After buying tickets, they walked along the Meridian Gate towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, stepping on the crunchy snow. Although there are hustle and bustle everywhere, it does not affect the solemnity and tranquility of the Forbidden City at all. This sense of heaviness is not only present in the Forbidden City, but also covers the entire city, so that the feeling of the capital can be summed up in five words: Cold solemnity. This is completely different from Nanjing, which is also the ancient capital of Six Dynasties, but it gives people the feeling of a Jiangnan woman in the lingering rain, singing "Su San Qi Jie" by the Qinhuai River. Chen Zhuo, who pursues a career in government, likes the capital; Chen Zhuo, who was walking in the mall, liked Nanjing. The current Chen Zhe likes Yu Xian who is by his side.
However, the Forbidden City was so huge that even though Chen Zhuo and Yu Xian's hair and shoulders were covered with snowflakes, they still managed to stroll to the vicinity of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "Director Chen, there is snow on your eyebrows." Yu Xian chuckled and said, "Looks like a little old man." "If I'm a little old man, then you're also a little old lady." Chen responded with a smile. "A little old lady is a little old lady." Yu Xian snorted and said, "Then I am also a little old lady who can paint." Chen was speechless. He couldn't say that he was an old man who was good at intrigue. That would be called "an old man who is still alive is a thief." However, the titles of "little old man and little old lady" made Yu Baibai imagine a lot. If fifty years later, Director Chen and I come to the Forbidden City again and it is snowing all over, how romantic it would be. "Happy~" As Yu Xian thought about it, he started laughing. She pulled Chen Zhuo to the eaves of a palace, made a "hu" sound in her palms, and then rubbed them quickly. When her palms began to feel warm, she stood on tiptoe and placed her palms against Chen Zhuo's face. "Are you afraid that I'm cold?" Chen laughed silently, feeling the slight warmth on his palm. "Yes." Yu Xian said as a matter of course: "It's also very cold in Sichuan and Chongqing in the winter, so I'm used to it, but you haven't experienced this kind of snowy weather in Guangzhou, be careful not to get your face frozen." "If it's frozen, don't use it." Chen said with a smile. Yu Xian ignored her boyfriend's nonsense and continued to breathe out, rub, and then cover Chen Zhuo's face with her hands. Chen lowered his head, and there was a drop of water on Yu Xian's temples. It should be formed by the melting of fallen snow, but it reflected the snow all over the sky, the white skin, the dark eyes and the red lips... It was as if the whole world had disappeared, and Yu Xian was the only one left in the world. Chen Zhuo suddenly sighed in his heart, raised his hands and rubbed them, then covered Yu Xian's oval face with his hands. "Your face is much more precious than mine." Chen Zhuo said: "I am disfigured, but there are still Yanzu, Edison Chen and Takeshi Shiro on Earth. But if you are disfigured, the art world will lose a hexagonal artist with no flaws." "goose……" Yu Xian was amused and started laughing again.
As time was tight for the flight, the two of them then strolled along the route of the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Hall and Kunning Palace. At around 4:30, we finally saw the exit of the Forbidden City, "Shenwu Gate", right in front of us. At this time, the Forbidden City also had to be cleared and closed, and lights were turned on everywhere. The yellowish light shone on the red walls and golden tiles, and the thin snow seemed to be suddenly shy, revealing a slight pink color. “It’s poetic and picturesque.” Chen was admiring in his heart when suddenly a young couple, also a couple, passed by. The girl said to the boy in a coquettish way: "Please carry me on your back. My feet are so sore from walking around." The boy might feel a little embarrassed in public, so he said shyly: "Can I help you?" "no!" The girl said angrily: "You must recite it!" The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally bent down. At this moment, a smug smile instantly blossomed on the girl's face, which made her ordinary face look more beautiful. Chen glanced at Yu Xian out of the corner of his eye, and the girl also stared at the couple with a smile on her face. The boy carried the girl on his back, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Chen walked silently in front of Yu Xian and suddenly bent down. "What are you doing?" Yu Xian was startled. "I can't keep up with the explanation." Chen Zhuo urged, "Get on the horse first." Yu Xian finally understood what Chen Zhuo meant, and the corners of her eyes turned slightly red, just like the petals of oleander in midsummer. But she didn't go up, probably because she felt sorry for Chen, who had walked the same distance as her, so how could she bear to let him carry her. "Hurry up." Chen invited again. "Good~" Yu Xian sniffed, walked over and gently leaned on Chen Zhuo's back. Chen Zhuo exerted some strength and carried the love-minded Sichuan girl on his back. Less than twenty steps away from Shenwu Gate, Chen walked steadily, Yu Baibai remained silent, with her head resting quietly on her boyfriend's shoulder. Chen teased her: "Am I like Zhu Bajie carrying his wife?"
Yu Xian didn't answer. "Did you fall asleep because my back was too comfortable?" Chen asked again. Yu Xian still said nothing. "Hey!" Chen Zhuo patted her butt and said, "Say something. You have to express your gratitude." At this time, Yu Xian finally responded. She suddenly reached out, turned Chen's chin around, and gave him a "mua" kiss on the face. Then he lowered his head again and muttered, "Director Chen, you smell so good." "what?" Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "You female hooligan." What Christmas Eve, what Christmas Day? For Yu Xian, can they be as happy as the day he spent in the capital on January 2008, 1? …… (End of this chapter)
