At five o'clock in the morning, when Chen Xu woke up, he was in a daze and remembered to move to a new place, get up, brush his teeth and wash his face, put on his sportswear, and take the elevator downstairs.

It was not dawn yet, and the community was very quiet. Under the incandescent street lights, there was no one to see.

He walked out of the community gate and saw the guard huddling in the duty room looking at his phone, but he didn't notice him passing by.

Early in the morning, it was the coldest time of the day. He breathed a sigh of relief and ran along a path next to the community.

This is a high-end community, with good infrastructure around it, not big roads, but there are green belts, with walls on both sides, and a street light is available at a distance.

There is a rare tranquility running here. After a while, a car passes by.

After running for a few kilometers, a park appeared in front of me. You can see some people, running, and exercising. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people.

The park was very big, and he ran along the surrounding roads, thinking while running.

Gradually, more people were coming to the park.

When a ray of light appeared in the sky, he finally stopped and took a look at the time. It was almost seven o'clock. He took out a bottle of water from the belt tied to his waist, drank it while wiping his sweat.

"It's early."

A familiar voice sounded behind him without warning. Unpredictable, he almost choked by the water. He coughed twice, turned around and saw Yang Jinxia wearing a sportswear and was walking towards him.

"Ahem - why are you here?" he asked while clearing his throat.

Yang Jinxia looked at his face flushed when his face turned red due to choking, and smiled proudly, "After leaving your house last night, I remembered that there was a house here, so I might as well spend the night here."

"That's a coincidence."

"I can't tell, you are in good physical strength." Yang Jinxia glanced at her watch and said, "I ran for an hour and forty-two minutes, and the speed was quite fast, and she didn't look tired at all."

Chen Xu looked at her and said, "Don't tell me, you were staring at me while I was running."

Yang Jinxia asked without answering the question, "I must be hungry after running for so long. I will treat you to breakfast, just in time to fulfill the meal I had last night."

Chen Xu took another sip of the drink in the water bottle, "Okay."

After walking out of the park, Yang Jinxia's car quickly stopped in front of them.

Her house was just across the park, the car turned around in front, drove into the community, and parked in front of a villa.

It can be seen that the villas here have been around for a while, like the style from twenty years ago, and look a sense of age.

“I lived here when I was a kid.”

After entering the house, Yang Jinxia changed her shoes and said, "I haven't come back since my grandma entered the hospital. It's been several years."

It is said that no one has lived in it for several years, but the house is cleaned very clean. However, the furniture and electrical appliances are old, so the style can be seen.

It was Chen Xu's first time here. Whether in dreams or in reality, she rarely mentioned things from childhood. He wouldn't ask if she didn't mention them.

There were some photos on the TV cabinet. He walked over to her. She was of different ages. She looked much younger than she was now, but her smile on her face was almost the same.

"Come in and help." Yang Jinxia shouted at the kitchen door.

He put down the frame and walked over.

She frowned and said, "The kitchenware here hasn't been used for a long time, so it's time to wash it."

"I'll do it." He rolled up his sleeves, walked to the washbasin, picked up the steel wiping ball, and brushed the pot hard.

Yang Jinxia sat on the stool beside her, holding her chin with one hand, watching him busy.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Xu could feel her gaze, turned his head to look at her and asked.

She didn't look away, "When I was young, my grandmother and me were always there. I kept thinking about what it would be like to have a man at home."

"However, if grandma still lives here, seeing me take you home might break your legs."

While speaking, Chen Xu had already brushed the pot and asked, "What's in the refrigerator?"

She stood up and said, "I promised that I'll treat you."

Chen Xu then gave up his seat and sat down to the position she had just sat. He saw that she took out a pack of noodles from somewhere, which was the type he bought last night, with the brand and specifications exactly the same.

Then, she started to boil water with her movements, and her movements looked particularly unfamiliar. After watching for a while, he couldn't help laughing. She completely copied the steps he had made last night's noodles.

After a while, she came out with a bowl of clear soup noodles and said, "The first time she made it, the eggs were not fried, don't be surprised."

The egg was a little fried and covered with it, looking a little hard to describe.

Chen Xu held back his smile and said, "It's already flattering to be able to eat the noodles cooked by Mr. Yang himself."

"Try it." She didn't even untied her apron and helped him pick up the chopsticks.

"and yours?"

"I've eaten it."

Chen Xu took the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and tasted them, nodded, and said, "It's not bad." Then he started to eat.

A bright smile appeared on Yang Jinxia's face, "It seems that I still have some talent in cooking."

After a bowl of noodles was finished quickly, Chen Xu even drank all the soup, stood up and said, "Thank you for your noodles, I have to go back."

"So urgent?"

"I'll catch a plane later."

"On business trip?"

"Well, I need to pack my luggage."

"One Spring Festival, it's on duty and on a business trip. Can you bear to squeeze you like this?"

"Who made her my boss?"

"With your ability, you still have to stay in that small company, are you going to have other plans?"

"Next month, I will be transferred to Tianluo Group."

When Yang Jinxia heard him say this, she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly laughed, stopped talking about this topic, and said, "Then I won't give it to you."

Chen Xu walked out of the villa, and the driver got out of the car and helped him open the car door.

"Trouble," he said to the driver and got in the car.

The driver got into the driver's seat and before driving, he suddenly said, "Mr. Yang is much happier recently than before, thank you."

"I dare not take credit for this."

The driver smiled, said nothing, and started the car.

It took only a few minutes to go back to where Chen Xu lived here and arrived soon.

He returned home and started to pack up his things. Every time he went out, he didn't bring much, but it was winter now, and his clothes were much thicker. With computers, he couldn't pack them on his back, so he changed to a small duffel bag.

After packing up his things, he took a shower, changed his clothes, went out, and took a bus to the airport.

They booked a plane at 10 o'clock in the morning. When they arrived at the airport, it was just after nine o'clock. Not long after, they saw Luo Xiyun pushing his luggage over alone and asked, "Have you arrived yet, Secretary Guo?"
