Song Xue said excitedly, "Brother Xiao Rui, do you still remember the selfie I took with you last time? Haha, that photo made a huge contribution." Li Rui remembered that before school started, she had mysteriously called him into her room in the VIP building of the Qingyang Hotel. The two of them had taken a very intimate selfie together. He smiled and said, "Really? How did it make a contribution? " Song Xue said proudly, "God knows where this guy came from. The first thing he did was to ask me to be his girlfriend. Maybe he thought he was good at singing, so he even asked me to listen to his songs. When I saw him take out his phone, haha, I got an idea and remembered our selfie, so I took out my phone to show him. I told him that this was my boyfriend, and if he was more handsome than him, he could pursue me. He was stunned, haha, and then he left. I was laughing so hard that my stomach was about to explode. "
Hearing her say that, Li Rui couldn't help but feel proud, but he asked modestly, "Did he say why your boyfriend is so old?" He must be more than ten years older than you. Ha, ha. "Song Xue laughed and said," I didn't ask. As soon as he saw how handsome you are, he fainted. Besides, you're not old at all. When you stand next to me, you don't look that much older. At most, you're five or six years older, hehe. " Li Rui said, "Well, it's good that it works. If it works, I don't mind taking a few more photos with you during your summer vacation." Song Xue sighed and said, "Ah, summer vacation is still far away. The winter vacation has just started … Brother Xiao Rui, when are you coming to Shanghai to play with me? I'll show you around our campus, and let you see those so-called handsome guys in our school. Tsk, compared to you, they're all trash. "
Li Rui was even happier. Who wouldn't like to hear something nice? Moreover, it was a compliment from the mouth of the innocent, youthful and invincible little beauty Song Xue. It was like drinking honey. It went straight into one's heart and made one happy. He smiled and said, "If I have the chance to go over, I will definitely go and see you. Oh, by the way, I have a friend coming to Qingyang City from Shanghai on a business trip. She will go back tomorrow. Tell me what you want to eat and wear, and I will ask her to bring it to you. " Song Xue was very happy to hear that. She felt that he was concerned about her. After thinking for a while, she said, "Qingyang City's sugar pot … the kind sold on the streets before and after the New Year. It's said to be used to worship the kitchen on the 23rd of December. It's quite delicious. Why don't you buy some for me? Hehe. "
As the saying goes, on the 23rd, the sugar pot is sticky; on the 24th, the house is swept; on the 25th, the tofu is made … These are the folk customs of the twelfth lunar month. The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, also known as the Little New Year, was a festival to worship the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God was one of the gods in heaven. He was sent by the Jade Emperor to thousands of households to protect and monitor the good and evil of each family. Every twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God would return to heaven and report to the Jade Emperor what he had found in the past year. On this day, people would worship the Kitchen God with small desserts like sugar pot. To put it bluntly, it was to give him some sweetness and stick to his mouth and teeth. When he returned to heaven, he would only say good things about his family and not bad things about them. Sometimes, he would not even be able to open his mouth. This folk custom was also called "Delivering the Kitchen God".
Qingyang City's sugar pot was very famous. It had the mark of history, and one could even taste the mellow fragrance of culture from it. It was sweet, fragrant, and sticky, which made people have a lingering aftertaste and unable to stop. When Song Xue and her mother, Sun Shuqin, lived in Qingyang City after the New Year, they bought a sugar pot once. It tasted good, so she kept it in mind. To put it bluntly, which girl didn't like to eat sweet things? Now that Li Rui reminded her, she went with the flow and asked him to buy some for her. The sugar pot itself was not a big deal. The key was that she could use it to strengthen her relationship with this "Brother Xiao Rui". That was the greatest enjoyment.
Li Rui said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll find time to buy some and ask my friend to send it to you." Song Xue giggled and said, "Then I'll wait." Li Rui said, "If there's anything you need, just say it. Don't be polite with me." Song Xue said, "I'm not polite with you anyway, haha. Okay, that's all for now. You're busy, I'll contact you another day. "
When Song Xue finished her phone call, she turned around and found her two roommates watching her. She immediately blushed and said, "How dare you eavesdrop on my phone call." One of her roommates teased, "Who were you talking to? Was it that handsome guy in the selfie photo? "The other roommate sighed mischievously and said," Sigh, which girl doesn't yearn for love? "Song Xue's face and ears turned red. Her heart was beating fast, but strangely, she felt sweet in her heart.
After lunch, while the boss, Song Chaoyang, was taking a break, Li Rui borrowed a car from the secretary and drove out of the Municipal Party Committee compound. After he got on the road, he looked around the world for a place to sell sugar pots. Speaking of which, it was strange. Since the day the candy pot was invented, there were very few records of it being sold. Almost every vendor who sold the candy pot would push a small cart or ride an electric three-wheeled motorcycle all over the world, peddling and selling it everywhere, as if that would allow them to sell more and faster. Li Rui couldn't understand this.
He drove to every place where there might be a sugar pot vendor. Basically, he was like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere. He bumped around for a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, his luck was not too bad. Finally, he found a sugar pot vendor at a T-junction near the entrance of Shengjing Hotel. He hurriedly drove over and bought two bags after getting out of the car. The reason why he bought two bags wasn't for Song Xue alone. One of the bags was for Xu Xinyi. It didn't matter if she liked it or not. It was just a token of his sincerity. Otherwise, it wouldn't look good when he asked her to bring it to Song Xue.
Even if Xu Xinyi was naturally generous, don't forget that all women are a little narrow-minded. She might think, "Oh, you're bringing food to other girls, but you didn't even ask if I liked it. It seems like you don't care about me at all." In order to avoid unnecessary worries, it was better to take her into consideration.
After paying, he carried two bags of sugar back to the car. As soon as he put the sugar in the car, before he could get in, his cell phone rang in his trouser pocket. He hurriedly took it out to answer. When he answered, he inadvertently looked up and saw a familiar man walking out of the main entrance of Shengjing Hotel. He carefully identified him and recognized that it was his colleague, Ji Gang, the director of the Second Department of the Secretary. He didn't take it to heart. Since Shengjing Hotel had come, why couldn't Ji Gang come? Since he was quite far away and didn't see him, he didn't greet him.
The call was from Ou Yangxin. Her tone was a little anxious, "Hello, is that you? It's a mess. I don't know what to do. I'm really at a loss. What's going on? What's going on?" Li Rui was amused. He got into the car and sat down, "Our usually calm and demure general manager is also worried about something?" Ou Yangxin said angrily, "Aiya, I'm not joking with you. There's trouble again. I can't even sit quietly in the office. Who would've thought that things would come knocking on my door. "Li Rui asked," Tell me, what's going on? I'm at the entrance of the hotel. If you need me, I'll go in and find you. "Ou Yangxin asked curiously," What are you doing at the entrance of the hotel? "Li Rui honestly said," Buying sugar pots. "Ou Yangxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry," You're joking with me again! I said I don't want to joke … "Li Rui interrupted," It's true. If you don't believe me, come out and see me. Alright, let's talk business first. "
Ou Yangxin said, "Since you're at the entrance of the hotel, come to my office to talk. It's hard to talk over the phone." Li Rui looked at his watch and said, "Alright, wait for me." Ou Yangxin said, "En, I'll wait for you. I'm in the office, I'm not going anywhere. Come quickly." Li Rui started the car and said to himself, "What's so scary?" Ou Yangxin angrily said, "Humph, you'll know when you come." Li Rui said, "I'm turning around … Forget it, I'm not going to turn around, I'll just get off the car and go over." Ou Yangxin laughed, "En, even if you turn around, you can't drive up to the third floor. Just go as fast as you can." Li Rui said, "You still don't want me to joke. Aren't you driving too?" Ou Yangxin sighed, "I learned this from you okay?"
Although the two's conversation didn't touch on any topic, it was more intimate. At first glance, it sounded a little ambiguous. Li Rui felt that he was closer to her because he had never seen her act coquettishly with him before.
He hurriedly walked to the hotel entrance and found that Ji Gang was no longer there. He didn't know how he left, he guessed that he took a taxi. He didn't have the mood to think too much and quickly walked into the hotel. He took the elevator to the third floor and looked at Ou Yangxin's office door. The door was slightly ajar, as if it was left open for him.
Ou Yangxin was standing in the middle of the room. She was so anxious that she looked like an ant on a hot pan. When she saw him enter the room, she hurriedly asked him to sit on the sofa.
