Plus it’s almost Chinese New Year now.

I really have no intention of going to the sunken ship with her.

"Why, do you have any other concerns?"

Xiao Miao's eyes fell on me, looking a little deep.

I was silent for a while and said, "No, I have no worries, but can this matter be postponed? You see, there are still ten days left before the New Year. Can we wait until we have finished the New Year to make all moves?"

Xiao Miao paused for a few seconds without speaking.

Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.

There was stiff and awkward anger spreading in the air.

After waiting for a while, she nodded slowly and said, "Okay, that's it."

"Then will you stay with me for the New Year this year? Or go back to Kawachi?"

I asked subconsciously.

"Do you want me to celebrate the New Year here or go back to celebrate the New Year?" she suddenly asked.

I was a little overwhelmed by this question and didn't know how to answer it.

Am I familiar with her?

Actually, it's not familiar.

I would also feel a little embarrassed if she was left here to celebrate the New Year.

Otherwise, let her go back to Sichuan.

I just wanted to say what I said and told her tactfully that she could go back to Sichuan now and come back next year.

Unexpectedly, she took the lead and said, "I won't go back this year, so I'll just stay here."

When the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.

"That's alright, you can tell me whatever you need."

I changed the subject.

As if she saw what I was thinking, she said to me: "Are you a little bit unwelcome to me?"

I smiled awkwardly and said, "How is that possible? I have never thought about it this way. If you stay to celebrate the New Year, I will naturally welcome you. There will be more fun with one more person, but won't your family miss you?"

"Won't."

She said directly.

It was so smooth that I didn’t even react. It was said too quickly.

I don't know much about the situation in her family, but since she said that, I really can't say much.

"Okay then, just stay."

"Yes, but since the action has been postponed until after the new year, I have to do some preparations in the past few days. I will come back during the Chinese New Year."

Xiao Miao said simply.

"Then what do you want to eat for lunch?"

I asked.

"If you don't want to eat at noon, I'll leave first. If you don't come back in the next few days, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

She spoke very skillfully.

I don't even know how to answer.

She got up and walked out. After waiting for a while, I said, "Okay."

After Xiao Miao left, I immediately felt less stressed, and a stone pressing on my heart seemed to have fallen to the ground.

But I don’t know why, but after she left, I suddenly felt a sense of loss, which is an indescribable feeling.

I didn't know what to say, so I simply adjusted my breathing.

Then he came back to his senses and prepared to get something to eat.

But after looking around, I couldn't find anything to eat.

Brother Yong is not here either, and neither are Yong's people.

I walked out the door and came to the noodle shop where I used to eat noodles. I asked for a bowl of noodles.

When the boss saw me coming, he greeted me and said, "Here you go, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I went to do some things before and just came back."

"You guys make money in this business. If you don't open for three years, you can survive for three years after opening."

"Boss, you are really good at joking. Some people may not be able to open their business in ten years."

I said calmly.

"The boss says nice things, and if others can't open it, you can definitely open it."

He spoke auspicious words.

I listened and responded.

Nothing much was said.

The owner of this noodle shop and I are already acquaintances.

"It's almost Chinese New Year now. Is your dad back?"

I came to this noodle shop to eat noodles because my dad brought them.

This place is mainly for noodle eaters, and is also called a noodle restaurant.

But this is not the main thing. I am used to him taking me here to eat. He came here when I was very young and I have been eating here for decades.

"Nope."

I answered.

He said: "Your dad hasn't come over to eat for a while. To be honest, I still miss him a little."

The boss is a cheerful person, similar in personality to us Jiangcheng people, but the boss is not a native of Jiangcheng, but comes from out of town.

After spending decades in this place, I have already become similar in character to the people here in Jiangcheng.

It is said that the soil and water support the people.

After staying there for a long time, it actually becomes subtle.

"Don't worry, boss, when my dad comes back, I'll call him over to eat."

We chatted every now and then.

After chatting for a while, I paid and prepared to leave.

I thought about going to see Zhang Qing again. After all, his injury had a lot to do with me.

I went out and walked out, thinking that if Zhang Qing recovered well, I would let him come home to live in two days. At worst, I would hire a nanny to take care of him.

I left the noodle shop and walked on the road. Maybe it was because during the Chinese New Year, all the people who came out to work had gone back.

So Jiangcheng seems a bit empty now, with not many people on the streets.

I hailed a taxi and went to the clinic. Zhang Qing was lying on the bed, and her condition was better than last night.

Zhang Qing said to me: "Master Zhuo, if you have something to do, go and do it. I don't have anything to do here. I can hold on myself."

He said it easily, but I said: "Zhang Qing, have you ever thought about opening a store and doing some business by yourself?"

In fact, if the things are sold this time and a sum of money is given to them later, they will be able to live a relatively prosperous life with the money.

To put it bluntly, cleaning yourself up and quitting this industry may be a good choice.

Zhang Qing smiled and said to me: "Master Zhuo, what's the point of doing business? I still like to do things with you."

I glanced at Zhang Qing. When he said this, his eyes were clear and sincere, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

I originally wanted to say something else.

But after thinking about it for a while, I still didn’t say anything more.

Maybe some people have wind in their blood and are destined to be in the world.

"Okay, let's do it together."

In this business, you are looking for food on the edge of a knife, and it is not that safe.

I chatted with Zhang Qing for a while and told him to take him back to recuperate when the time comes.

After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

After hearing what I said, he smiled and said to me, "Okay, Master Xiao Zhuo."

After leaving the clinic, I started walking back.

I didn't take a taxi immediately, but after walking for a while, I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The whole person is not that comfortable.

I found a place to sit down and rest, and rested for about ten minutes before I recovered.

It wasn't until the evening, when Brother Yong came back, that I was completely healed.

But when it was time to take a break, something unexpected happened.

I always feel like there is a shadow following me outside the door, but when I go out, there is nothing there.
