Cao Ziming is a person who doesn't like to settle down. After graduation, he went to work in Nanbin and changed jobs in several companies. Perhaps because of his family's financial conditions, he failed to find a satisfactory job in the end. So he simply relied on his ability to work in Nanbin.
He has expertise in mobile phone communication technology. He rented a street store in Science and Technology City and opened a mobile phone supermarket. Business has been good in the past few years.
When Aisen came to the store, Cao Ziming and Qiqi were busy counting the newly arrived batch of goods.
Cao Ziming is not tall, has a thin build, and wears a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks like a typical "science and engineering man". In fact, people who are familiar with him know that his personality and way of doing things are closely related to his appearance.
There is a huge difference.
"You sit down for a while first," Cao Ziming said to Eisen, without any courtesy in his tone, "I'll leave when I'm done."
Aisen found a place to sit down and played mobile games alone until they finished their work.
The three of them came to a nearby hot pot restaurant. Qiqi had already reserved a table in advance. Aisen had been here several times with Cao Ziming and knew that this hot pot restaurant was famous in this area because large and small companies gathered around it, and every weekend
The hotpot restaurants are crowded.
As usual, they ordered a few portions of beef and mutton shabu-shabu and vegetables, and ordered a few bottles of beer, chatting while eating.
Cao Ziming first asked Eisen about his recent work, and then the topic slowly turned to his personal problems.
Aisen is already in his early thirties, and he still has an order. It seems that he is not in a hurry at all. For this, he is often scolded by Cao Ziming. Seeing that Cao Ziming was chatty again today, he simply put down his chopsticks and complained angrily.
Tao:
"Are you inviting me to dinner? Or are you here to teach me?!"
"Eh? We care about you, but you don't appreciate it? Do you really want to be single for the rest of your life?! I haven't told you yet, I'm going to upgrade soon!" Cao Ziming said, glancing at Qi beside him with pride.
Qi.
Qi Qi pinched Cao Ziming's thigh with a slightly angry hand.
"Oh? Really? Then let me congratulate you first!" Aisen raised his glass, "Ziming, Qiqi, what a good thing!"
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Qiqi noticed Aisen's mood and asked.
Aisen raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp. He picked up a piece of mutton, rinsed it in the pot, dipped it in some sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. Cao Ziming and Qi Qi watched him chew the piece of meat until it was swallowed.
Next, it’s as if you’re watching the main character in a movie feasting.
"Why do you look at me like this? Am I any different from before?" Aisen put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. "I just didn't sleep well for two nights in a row!"
"So, it's better to quickly find a wife to take care of you!" Cao Ziming said.
Aisen didn't answer. He seemed to have remembered something, picked up his mobile phone and handed it to Cao Ziming. "Ziming, please check this phone for me. There seems to be something wrong!"
Cao Ziming took the phone: "What's the problem?"
"In the past two days, it has always produced some garbled codes in the middle of the night. I have never encountered it before. I don't know what the situation is."
"Why are you looking at your phone when you're up in the middle of the night!" Cao Ziming muttered, checking Aisen's phone carelessly, and quickly handed it back to him. "There's no problem, everything is fine! You can't sleep just because of this.
Right?"
"Not only this, I always have the same dream, which is very strange!" Aisen paused for a few seconds and whispered, "I dreamed about Ai Bin for two consecutive nights!"
"Ai Bin?!" Qiqi seemed to be touched by something. She glanced at Cao Ziming secretly.
"What's weird about having a dream? I dream about it every day, and I also dream about Ai Bin!" Cao Ziming said.
"But... I don't know how to describe it... this dream is indeed the same as reality! Moreover, every time I wake up from the dream, some random symbols will appear on my phone!"
Seeing Aisen's serious look, Cao Ziming smirked: "You must have dreamed about those messy symbols you mentioned!"
"It's true! I was really awake at the time! The phone screen was black, and there were some white-light symbols on it... Oh, and last night, I also found that the phone had moved on its own!"
Aisen told Cao Ziming and his wife the strange phenomenon that happened the night before in detail.
After hearing this, Cao Ziming was silent for a moment, then grabbed Aisen's mobile phone and fiddled with it again. Finally he shook his head and said: "Usually mobile phones don't have the situation you mentioned! Do you still remember that?
What kind of symbols are they?"
"I've copied it and kept it at home. I didn't bring it with me."
"If these strange symbols appear again next time, you'd better show them to me." Cao Ziming picked up the beer bottle, filled Aisen's, Qiqi's and his own glasses, and then picked up the glasses. "Aisen,
You may not have gotten over the shadow of Ai Bin's incident. I advise you to think more about your own affairs. You see, Qiqi is already with me, and we will have our own baby soon.
, it’s not easy for her too! How should I put it, we all can’t be entangled in our hearts for the rest of our lives because of Ai Bin’s disappearance!”
After Cao Ziming finished speaking, he glanced at Qiqi. Qiqi also picked up the wine glass and whispered: "Eisen, let's stop talking about him!"
Aisen shook his head and drank the wine in his glass in one breath. He also felt that he really could no longer be trapped in Ai Bin's disappearance.
At this time, he somehow noticed a little boy about two years old sitting at a nearby dining table - the child was eating with his parents - and in a daze, he seemed to see the child running towards them.
Come over and fall heavily to the ground in front of him!
Just when Aisen was wondering how he could have this hallucination, the child really climbed down from his seat and ran toward them... Aisen subconsciously reached out his hand, but when the child slipped, he was about to fall.
The moment he fell, he grabbed the child!
Upon seeing this, the child's parents hurriedly came over, picked up the child, thanked Aisen, and then returned to their seats while educating the child.
Eisen stared blankly at the child's back, still thinking about the unexpected scene just now. Cao Ziming next to him kept saying something to him, but he didn't hear a word. Until Cao Ziming couldn't help but use his fingers.
He knocked on the table a few times before he came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Cao Ziming teased, "Why don't you just give someone a hand? It's like you saved the earth!"
"Strange! Why did I see that child running over in advance and about to fall in front of me..." Aisen said to himself.
"Oh? Have you opened your eyes?"
Aisen stared at Cao Ziming for a while, but hesitated to speak.
Cao Ziming seemed to be more energetic when he saw Aisen's dull expression. He pointed at his nose and asked teasingly: "Then tell me, what will happen to me later?"
Aisen looked at Cao Ziming for a moment and said: "You will take off your shirt later!"
Cao Ziming deliberately made a move to unbutton his clothes, but stopped when he raised his hand to his chest. He just stroked his front and said with a bad smile: "If I weren't too thin, I would really like to cooperate with you.
This will give you a sense of accomplishment!"
Aisen kept eating without a smile.
Cao Ziming and Qi Qi both felt that Aisen was obviously still immersed in his own thoughts...
After dinner, Aisen said goodbye to Cao Ziming and his wife at the door of the hot pot restaurant, took a taxi and went home.
Cao Ziming looked at the taxi driving away and sighed: "This guy is probably possessed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qiqi suddenly scream. Before he could react, he was hit hard from behind. At the same time, he felt a heat on his shoulders, and an unusually unpleasant stench rushed in.
Nasal cavity. He turned around and saw that a man who had drunk too much had bumped into him and sprayed all the filth onto his shoulder. Qiqi was holding her nose and staring angrily at the man speechless... p>
While shaking, the man apologized to Cao Ziming and reached out to help him wipe the stains on his clothes...
Cao Ziming was almost overwhelmed by the disgusting smell. He wanted to have a fit but couldn't curse, so he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. He pushed the man's hand away angrily, quickly unbuttoned his shirt, and walked back to the house while taking off his shirt.
At the hot pot restaurant, she went to the bathroom sink and rinsed there for a long time. Qiqi asked the waiter for a plastic bag for packing, took his wet clothes and stuffed them in.
Cao Ziming walked through the hall shirtless, attracting almost everyone's attention.
He walked out of the hot pot restaurant quickly, and the man was still standing at the door, apologizing loudly to him: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm really sorry..."
"What a damn bad luck!" Cao Ziming cursed angrily after walking far away.
Qiqi kept covering her nose and followed beside her. She suddenly burst into laughter.
"You're still laughing!"
"I do remember what Aisen said just now!"
Cao Ziming stopped - what did Aisen say just now?! This guy really got it right!
He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Aisen's number: "Aisen! You are such a crow's mouth! How did you know I would take off my shirt?"
"Did you really take it off?"
"What's wrong! Just after you left, a drunkard vomited all over me!"
After a brief silence, Eisen murmured on the other end of the phone: "I've seen it before!"
"Are you really that awesome?!" Cao Ziming asked angrily, "Then tell me again, what are the winning numbers for today's lottery?"
