Su Tang held the tablet and picked it for a long time, but he still chose the hot pot restaurant closest to Chenyi's house. Without driving, the two of them walked all the way.

This hot pot restaurant is an old restaurant. It was already available when the eastern suburbs of S City was still a village. It still uses the kind of old copper pot made of charcoal fire. The store is not big. The bar is near the door. When the guest invited them in, the man who was checking out at the bar turned around and looked at them inadvertently. His originally casual gaze suddenly settled on Chen Yi.

"Hey, Chen Yi?"

While the man recognized Chen Yi, Su Tang also recognized the woman beside the man.

A professional suit and a light face Qin Jingyao.

Su Tang subconsciously looked at the man more.

He is in his thirties, tall and thin, wearing a casual suit, with his face full of fatigue after long journeys, and a friendly but not sincere smile. This face seems to have never appeared beside Chen Guohui.

There was a clear surprise on Chen Yi's face, but he seemed to be familiar with the man. At the same time, he smiled and shook hands with the man.

Qin Jingyao nodded and greeted Chen Yi, then quickly joined Chen Yi's role as assistant, and introduced Su Tang to the man in a business manner, "This is Miss Su Tang of Huazheng." After that, he turned to Su Tang again and stretched his hand towards the man, still in that kind of official tone, "This is my husband."

Su Tang was stunned for a moment, and the man politely reached out to her.

"Hello, Zhao Changjie, I am Chen Yi's colleague."

Su Tang suddenly remembered that Chen Yi mentioned that Qin Jingyao's husband was his colleague, who was on a business trip in the United States and came back in October.

Su Tang hurriedly reached out to shake hands with him, "Hello."

Chen Yi smiled and looked at Su Tang, and said something to Qin Jingyao in sign language. Qin Jingyao was slightly stunned, looked at Su Tang, and turned to tell Zhao Changjie about Chen Yi's words.

"Ms. Su is Mr. Chen's girlfriend."

"Hello, hello..."

Zhao Changjie shook hands with Su Tang more and more politely, looked up at Chen Yi, "Hey, Chen Yi, are you going out for dinner at this time? Is it too late to go to work at night?"

Su Tang turned around and looked at the clock on the wall behind the bar.

They came out late and walked slowly all the way. It was already half past seven. If they set out from here to work at the company where Chen Yi works at around nine o'clock, they should leave at the latest at eight o'clock.

Perhaps because he had just returned from the United States, Zhao Changjie felt an American anxious voice when he spoke. Su Tang sounded so fast that he was anxious. Chen Yi probably didn't see a few words and turned his attention to Qin Jingyao.

Qin Jingyao did not translate for Chen Yi, and directly answered on behalf of Chen Yi, "Mr. Chen has asked for leave."

Zhao Changjie took over the change handed over by the cashier and responded casually.

Chen Yi frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Zhao Changjie, and he said something in sign language. Qin Jingyao did not help him translate, but talked to him in sign language. Chen Yi smiled and nodded.

Chen Yi and Qin Jingyao had a quick conversation, and the sentences were a bit long. Su Tang didn't understand, and Zhao Changjie obviously didn't understand either. It was not until Qin Jingyao said "Let's go" to him, and Zhao Changjie hurriedly followed and added a polite sentence, "Then let's go first, you eat slowly."

Su Tang responded to Chen Yi.

The waiter arranged a table against the wall for the two of them, left two menus and went to greet the guests who were ordering dishes at the next table. Perhaps because he was worried that he could not see her words clearly through a huge copper pot, Chen Yi did not sit opposite her, but put his off coat on the back of the chair next to her, sat down side by side with her, reached out to take the menu, put one of them in front of Su Tang, and looked at the other one.

Su Tang patted his arm and pulled his just lowered gaze from the menu.

"Zhao Changjie just asked you, if you come out for dinner at this time, do you still have time to go to work in the evening? Qin Jingyao told him that you have asked for leave."

After Su Tang said that, Chen Yi's eyes were still focused on her lips, as if they were still waiting for the following words.

Su Tang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Chen Yi didn't understand why she said this. He quickly smiled and shook his head, "I have nothing to do, I just want to tell you what they said just now, and you didn't seem to see clearly."

Chen Yi was slightly stunned, with a soft curve raised on the corner of his lips. He turned his head and glanced at the people who were concentrating on eating hot pot. He reached out to support Su Tang's shoulder. Before Su Tang could react, he had already pecked his forehead lightly.

Su Tang sat on the inside against the wall. Chen Yi's movements were very small and his posture was very gentle. He was definitely not enough to compete with the delicious food in front of the diners for the sense of existence. Su Tang was still shocked by the sudden kiss that came from the public, and two reds suddenly appeared on his face.

Before Su Tang could glar at him, Chen Yi let go of the hand that was holding on her shoulder and said seriously to her in sign language, which made Su Tang stunned.

Chen Yi took out his cell phone and quickly typed a few lines of words, and handed them to Su Tang.

——I asked Zhao Changjie why he returned to China early. Qin Jingyao told me that their child missed him. He came back to check it out and the flight was back to the United States at half past ten.

Su Tang was so amused that she was laughing and crying, "No, I didn't mean that..."

Before Su Tang could finish his words, Chen Yi smiled peacefully, patted Su Tang's arm twice, lowered his eyes and typed a paragraph.

——I know you didn’t blame me, but you took care of my feelings, but I didn’t take care of your feelings. It’s really that I didn’t do well.

Su Tang was embarrassed by his serious self-examination, "No, I didn't think so much, it's just..." Su Tang was a little exhausted in a hurry and couldn't find any suitable statement to describe what he was like just now, so he had to catch an approximate one, "I'm used to it."

The smile in Chen Yi's eyes suddenly became thicker, so strong that the rich aroma of shabu shabu is light and tasteless.

——Thank you for developing the habit of feeling sorry for me.

Su Tang was powerless to refute, nodded vigorously with anger and amused look, "You're welcome!"

Su Tang likes to eat a little spicy when eating hot pot, but Chen Yi strictly avoids spicy food. Su Tang originally wanted to clear the bottom of the soup pot, and just add a few spoonfuls of chili oil to his dipping sauce. Chen Yi frowned after watching Su Tang tell the waiter that he added a portion of chili oil.

After Su Tang finished ordering all the things, Chen Yi took the order menu from the waiter, crossed out the words "clear soup" written by the waiter, added a "mandarin duck" next to it, and replaced the bottom of the clear soup pot with the bottom of the mandarin duck pot.

As soon as the waiter left, Chen Yi typed a sentence on his phone and handed it to Su Tang with gentle rebuke.

——Why not choose an option that can satisfy both of us at the same time?

Su Tang felt that being questioned for the first time could be a very happy thing.

Su Tang raised his hand and pinched his index finger with his thumb, measuring a distance of less than one centimeter. "I don't like spicy food that much, just eat a little."

——There is one thing.

After Chen Yi finished typing this sentence, he looked up at her and his smile became fainted involuntarily. There was no sign of blame in the knocking.

——There are many people in the world who cannot eat spicy food for various reasons. Since you can eat it, don’t waste such precious opportunities.

"Make sure to complete the task!"

The copper pot is made of charcoal, and the soup is hot a little slowly. Su Tang is not in a hurry, and Chen Yi is not in a hurry. Su Tang chatted with him for a few words, and then held his cell phone to work overtime for Lu Xiaoman, who had not had time to eat.

She also felt sorry for these people who were implicated in innocent times and lost their holidays in vain, but this kind of heartache is completely incomparable to the heartache for Chen Yi.

After comforting Lu Xiaoman in vain for a while, Su Tang heard the "sizzling" sound that was about to boil the pot, looked up and was about to say it to Chen Yi, but he found that Chen Yi was slightly frowning and was looking at the plate of cabbage leaves in front of him, as if he was thinking about something very serious.

Su Tang poked him gently with his elbow and poked his god back from an unknown place, "What are you thinking?"

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head.

Su Tang narrowed his eyes and teased him, "Cover up, are you thinking about another woman?"

Chen Yi was stunned for no reason, then chuckled helplessly, picked up his cell phone and confessed.

——I am thinking of Qin Jingyao, she just lied.

Su Tang looked at him knocking this sentence. When he saw the first half of the sentence, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. As soon as he laughed, he saw the second half of the sentence. He couldn't help but be stunned, "Lie?"

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

——Zhao Changjie probably didn’t come to see the child come back. I guess some unpleasant things have just happened between them.

"How do you know?" Su Tang asked, and then he immediately raised a guess, "Is it because Qin Jingyao's tone of speaking to him that was particularly disgusting?"

Chen Yi chuckled and shook his head, put down his cell phone, picked up a plate of fat and thin slices of mutton and put them into the boiling hot pot soup. He stirred it gently before putting the chopstick plate and picking up his cell phone to type again.

——She is very professional and dedicated. She always speaks like this when she is doing sign language translator for me. I just smelled a heavy smell of smoke on Zhao Changjie. He must have just smoked a lot of cigarettes. Qin Jingyao's voice was not very good. Zhao Changjie never smoked when she was there before.

Su Tang stared at Chen Yi's analysis of Bao Gong's case-like analysis, and looked up at the still thoughtful person, "Are you just thinking about what unpleasant things happened between them?"

Chen Yi nodded seriously.

Su Tang was amused and crying. She had never discovered that this person had such a strong gossip. "Did you figure it out?"

Chen Yi shook his head.

Su Tang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a mutton that had been washed out from the clear soup and put it into the plate in front of him. "Then wait until you are full before you continue thinking about it!"

Su Tang had never been very curious about other people's family affairs. It was not until the next morning when Chen Yi, who had woken up for no reason, told her by her pillow that he was going to the United States. It was not until Su Tang remembered the couple again when the flight was 2:00 in the afternoon.

Su Tang didn't quite believe that Chen Yi was so curious about the relationship between her husband and wife, but as soon as she opened her eyes early in the morning, her mind was full of Chen Yi's gentleness last night, and she couldn't make any more decent speculations.

Su Tang handed back the cell phone he handed back, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked as clearly as possible, "Is it for Qin Jingyao and his husband's business..."

Chen Yi said that he had no joke in his words again, and he was completely sleepy.

——I’m sorry, it’s something related to the company’s business, and it’s not convenient to tell you for the time being.

Su Tang pushed the quilt away and sat up, looking at the person who had just taken sick leave yesterday in surprise. After weighing for a long time, he found a question he could probably answer, "How long will it take?"

Chen Yi shook his head a little apologized.
