Capital.

Liuhai Hutong at 9 o'clock in the evening was already very quiet. This area was originally a place to be quiet in the midst of the chaos. It was located in a very central area of ​​the capital, but it did not develop any commercial development and was still an authentic old Hutong.

Nowadays, many young people are reluctant to live in such hutong courtyards. Of course, most people have big courtyards like that. Many families are crowded in one yard, and some don’t even have toilets. Such houses are naturally not as comfortable as buildings.

But if it is a unique house like Xia Rufei's large courtyard house and has been modernized, it will naturally be different.

In fact, Xia Rufei's courtyard is unique throughout the alley, but Xia Rufei rarely lives there, and Wu Qiang and others who helped him manage the house are basically living in a quiet place, so they don't communicate much with their neighbors. This large courtyard seems a bit mysterious in the eyes of their neighbors.

Under the slightly yellow street lights, a figure appeared at the corner of the alley.

He didn't walk fast, as if he was slowly savoring something.

Before he knew it, the man walked to the entrance of the Grand Siheyuan.

He did not stop, but stepped up the steps, walked straight to the front door, and reached out to press his fingerprint.

With a click, the heavy door opened directly.

A figure flashed out from behind the screen wall. When he saw the person entering the door, his vigilance suddenly turned into a look of surprise.

"Xia...Mr. Xia! Why are you?" The man was a little dumbfounded.

The person walking through the entrance of the alley was Xia Rufei. After he and Song Rui were on the phone, he thought about it for a while and had nothing to do in Sanshan these days, so he simply drove the Obsidian Flying Boat to the Capital at night.

Xia Rufei said with a smile: "You are... Lao Ding! Are you on duty tonight?"

This courtyard is too big. Even if there are many surveillance probes installed at the back, Wu Qiang cannot be responsible for the safety of the entire courtyard alone, so he recruited a few old comrades from the past to help.

Veterans usually live in the backyard, but there are people on duty every day in the front yard and they live directly in the concierge.

The concierge is also a monitoring room. People on night shifts basically don’t sleep and just stare at the monitoring, so they need to take turns on duty.

Just now, the old Ding saw a figure flashing by the surveillance gate. He walked out of the door room and was about to check it out. Then he heard the door ringing. He thought there was a thief at home, so he quickly flashed out. Unexpectedly, the one who came in was Xia Rufei, the boss who was not in sight of the head and the tail.

Lao Ding nodded quickly and replied, "Yes! Mr. Xia, why didn't you say hello in advance when you come back? We can arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I came here for a moment, and there is someone to pick you up, so you don't have to work hard and you will go there again..."

Xia Rufei continued, "You can continue on duty! Lao Ding, thank you for your hard work! You can smoke this cigarette and refresh yourself!"

Xia Ruofei said as he reached into his pocket, took a pack of special cigarettes from the Lingtu space and handed them to Lao Ding.

This was given to him by Mr. Song, but after practicing, he had long lost his cigarette addiction. He would occasionally smoke one or two pieces of cigarettes, and most of the boxes of those cigarettes were stored in the spiritual map space.

Lao Ding quickly refused: "Mr. Xia, you are too polite, no need to..."

Lao Ding had served in the Guard Bureau before, so his vision would not be bad. He could see at a glance that the white cigarette with no sign was not simple, so he was a little flattered and refused.

Xia Rufei stuffed the cigarette directly into his hand and said with a smile: "You can just take it for you, you are so squeamish that he doesn't look like the ones who are in the army!"

When Lao Ding heard this, he immediately stood upright and said loudly: "Yes! Then I will accept it, thank you Mr. Xia!"

"That's right!" Xia Rufei said with a smile, "Okay, you can do it! I'm back to the house..."

After saying that, Xia Rufei stepped towards the middle of the master courtyard.

He heard Lao Ding behind him report to Wu Qiang in the backyard with a walkie-talkie in a low voice.

Although Lao Ding's voice is small, how could he hide it from Xia Rufei's ears?

However, Xia Rufei did not stop him. He knew that he had suddenly returned home, so Lao Ding must have reported to Wu Qiang, which was also Lao Ding's responsibility.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Rufei turned to the middle courtyard, he saw a figure flashing from the moon gate leading to the backyard, and Wu Qiang walked over quickly.

"Boss! You are back!" Wu Qiang bowed respectfully to Xia Ruofei and said.

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said, "I went to the capital to do something temporarily. Someone was receiving it, so I didn't notify you to pick it up."

"So that's the case..." Wu Qiang said, "Boss, I'll ask my sister-in-law to get up and make some midnight snacks for you!"

"Sister-in-law should have gone to bed! No need, no need..." Xia Ruofei said.

"It's okay, she probably hasn't slept yet!" Wu Qiang said, "I just made a lot of wontons today. Otherwise... I'll ask my sister-in-law to give you a bowl of... fried noodles are fine!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing when she heard this and said, "After you said this, I really miss the delicious food my sister-in-law made. If it's not troublesome, then let's have a bowl of wontons!"

"No trouble! No trouble!" Wu Qiang said quickly, "I'll let my sister-in-law do it now!"

Xia Rufei nodded with a smile.

Wu Qiang first helped Xia Rufei open the door of the master's suite, and then turned on the lights. Then he bowed slightly to Xia Rufei and then quickly left.

Xia Rufei glanced around this familiar suite and found that the room was spotless and all the items were in order. Obviously, someone cleaned them every day.

He couldn't help but nod.

Xia Rufei came to the room in the middle that was used as the living room, sat down in front of the coffee table, took out the tea leaves and Lingtan water from the Lingtu space, poured the Lingtan water into the kettle, and prepared to start making tea.

After a while, Wu Qiang called out outside: "Boss!"

"Come in! The door is not locked!" Xia Ruofei said seriously, without raising his head.

Wu Qiang pushed the door and came in. He held a tray in his hand, which was a bowl of steaming wontons and several plates of refreshing side dishes.

Xia Rufei pointed to the coffee table and said, "It's going to be so soon? Thank you for your hard work, let's put it on the coffee table!"

"Yes!" Wu Qiang said, gently putting the tray on the coffee table, then carefully took out the wontons and the dishes containing side dishes and placed them on the coffee table.

Wu Qiang picked up the tray and stood up, and asked respectfully: "Boss, what do you want to have for breakfast tomorrow?"

"I can do it. I will eat whatever you eat, no need to make special!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "By the way, when you get up tomorrow, remember to wash the Alpha, I will use the car in the morning."

"Okay!" Wu Qiang responded.

"Then you go and rest! I'm fine!" Xia Rufei said, "Just prepare the car before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll drive myself tomorrow, you don't have to follow..."

"Okay, boss, then you can rest early!" Wu Qiang said.

Then he gently retreated and closed the door.

Xia Rufei sipped a sip of tea happily, then put down the teacup and set her eyes on the bowl of wontons.

The steaming wontons exuded a strong fragrance. Xia Rufei knew at the smell that this soup must be pork bone soup, and the one that has been boiled for a long time, all the essence has entered the soup.

He picked up the bowl, scooped a wonton with spoon and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Xia Rufei also secretly praised the chaotic skin and thick flesh, and the filling is very tasty, and it also has a bit of Q-sports. Sister Wu Qiang's skills are indeed quite good.

Xia Rufei ate all the whole bowl of wontons in big mouthfuls, and even a few dishes of side dishes were wiped out.

Although with Xia Rufei's cultivation level, he no longer needed to supplement food to maintain the energy needed by his body, he still felt satisfied after eating wontons.

The meaning of food is sometimes not just about filling your stomach.

Xia Rufei put the dishes aside, and Wu Qiang would naturally come to clean up tomorrow morning.

He went to the bathroom to take a shower, then lay down and went to bed.

The courtyard deep in the alley is very quiet, especially the main courtyard in the middle, which is not inhabited by others, so it looks even more quiet.

Xia Rufei soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Xia Rufei washed up and pushed open the door and stretched, and walked into the yard.

Wu Qiang had already been waiting at the Moon Gate. When he saw Xia Ruofei get up and came out, he hurriedly walked over.

"It's morning!" Xia Ruofei greeted with a smile.

"Boss, morning!" Wu Qiang said, "The breakfast is ready. I'll come and clean up yesterday's dishes!"

Xia Rufei pointed to the room and said, "Let it be in the living room coffee table, you can go in by yourself!"

"yes!"

Wu Qiang went into the house to clean up the dishes, while Xia Rufei took a leisurely walk in the yard.

Although the air quality in the capital has been criticized in recent years, especially the haze has become a pain for the people in the capital, Xia Rufei, the courtyard house, is like a paradise, with lush vegetation and a very quiet environment. Xia Rufei took a deep breath and felt relaxed and happy.

He wandered around the garden before he walked to the backyard.

The staff of the Siheyuan greeted Xia Rufei one after another, and Xia Rufei nodded to them with a smile.

Xia Rufei had an exclusive restaurant in the backyard, but he did not go to that restaurant. Instead, he asked Wu Qiang to take the breakfast specially prepared for him in the restaurant to the big restaurant. He sat with everyone, drank soy milk, ate fried dough sticks, and chatted from time to time.

Xia Rufei now cherishes this kind of life atmosphere between the city.

He knew that such days might be getting further and further away from him in the future.

After breakfast, Xia Rufei pulled out a tissue while wiping his mouth and said to Wu Qiang: "Cleaning the car slowly, I will use it at around 10 o'clock!"

"Okay, boss!" Wu Qiang said quickly.

He didn't tell Xia Rufei that in fact, he woke up early in the morning and thoroughly cleaned the already clean Alpha business car inside and out, and even waxed it again. Now the car looks like new, with the sun shining brightly.

Xia Rufei returned to the middle courtyard, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and it was only eight o'clock.

He estimated that Song Rui hadn't gotten up yet, so he simply took the tea set to the stone table in the yard and put it on, and sat there slowly for a while for tea.

It was only when Xia Rufei called Song Rui at nine o'clock that he told him that he was already in the capital and that he would visit Mr. Song in the morning.

Song Rui was naturally overjoyed. In fact, he had already reported to Mr. Song last night. The old man was also very happy to hear that Xia Rufei was coming to see him. He also said that today's original schedule was concessions to Xia Rufei, and that Xia Rufei could see him directly at any time.

Song Rui asked Xia Rufei to go there at any time, and happily made an appointment with Xia Rufei tonight to have a drink at Taoyuan Club.
