Chapter 4 Love

Cai Zhiliang spent the entire afternoon reading Tomb Raiders Notes. After all, he had already read it once. This time he only needed to focus on the modified parts, but it took him an entire afternoon to finish reading it.

Cai Zhiliang only cares about whether the content is exciting and reasonable. As for literary talent, that is all the editor's business.

When he was about to get off work, Cai Zhiliang came to Bao Guowei's office, put down the novel Tomb Raider Notes, and said: "Uncle Wei, I think there is no problem, it can be published."

Bao Guowei nodded, finished the novel, and said: "I will arrange the publication. Who is this author writing about?"

This tomb robbing notebook is the structure of Cai Zhiliang's story. He was not polite at this time. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Let's call him Mr. Qixia."

"Mr. Qixia? That's fine."

Bao Guowei did not object, and the matter was settled.

Cai Zhiliang had a house near the newspaper office, and he stayed there for the next few days without returning to Repulse Bay. In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and Cai Zhiliang got off work early and drove to find Zheng Weijia.

Zheng Weijia is also interesting. He runs a trading company, but he works in another import and export trading company, responsible for processing documents and materials. When Cai Zhiliang arrived, Zheng Weijia's desk was littered with various materials, while other colleagues Already leaving get off work.

"Deng, Deng, Deng," Cai Zhiliang knocked on the table and said, "It's time to get off work..."

"Ah, it's you..." Zheng Weijia looked a little surprised when he saw Cai Zhiliang.

"Then who else do you think it could be?" After finishing speaking, Cai Zhiliang felt that he shouldn't joke like this, and said: "Your leader has left long ago, otherwise how would I have come in? Hurry up and pack up and find a place to go.

Have a meal."

"Then wait a moment." Zheng Weijia did not object and quickly sorted out the information on the table.

Zheng Weijia picked up her small bag, walked to the garage with Cai Zhiliang, and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"

"Just follow me. We're going to eat Sichuan food. We've already reserved a table." Cai Zhiliang started driving towards the hotel.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Cai Zhiliang handed the menu to Zheng Weijia and said, "Come and order."

Zheng Weijia waved his hand and said: "No, you better order it."

Cai Zhiliang still smiled and handed the menu to Zheng Weijia and said: "Ladies first."

Zheng Weijia stopped being polite and started to order, asking: "Do you have any favorite dishes?"

Cai Zhiliang thought for a while and said: "It's nothing special, but you can order a piece of eight-treasure porridge. After all, it's Laba today."

"Laba? Does this have anything to do with eight-treasure porridge?" Zheng Weijia blinked, not sure what it meant.

Cai Zhiliang explained: "On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there is a custom in the north of eating Laba porridge."

"Oh..." Zheng Weijia nodded and said, "I think I heard someone mention it."

When Cai Zhiliang heard that he had a chance to perform, he said: "My grandpa is from Zhejiang, and there is a custom of cooking Laba porridge on Laba day. So on Laba day, my family usually cooks porridge."

"I've ordered, please take a look." Zheng Weijia handed the menu to Cai Zhiliang.

Cai Zhiliang took one look and suddenly became happy and said, "Are you trying to lose weight?"

Zheng Weijia ordered all vegetarian dishes, three in total: shredded sour potatoes, mapo tofu, and stir-fried lettuce. Cai Zhiliang looked at it, added a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, and called the waiter to serve.

On a Friday night, the restaurant was overcrowded. The first dish was served and you were left hanging here. The second dish was not served at all.

"Waiter, why haven't you served the food yet?"

"It's already being stirred up and will be here soon."

After urging twice, Cai Zhiliang stopped talking and could only wait. During this period, he and Zheng Weijia had nothing to talk about, and the meal was really awkward.

By the time the two of them came out of the hotel, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go watch a movie." Cai Zhiliang invited Zheng Weijia again.

Zheng Weijia asked: "Are there any good movies to watch recently?"

Cai Zhiliang had done his homework early and said: "There are two good movies recently, one is "The Treasure Hunt" starring Jiang Dawei, and the other is a Hollywood film, "Alone in the Dragon Pool" starring Stallone."

The current time is just after the Christmas and New Year holidays, but it has not yet reached the Lunar New Year period. Generally, the quality of the films released is not high.

"I watched "Alone in the Dragon Pool" last week, and it was not good." Zheng Weijia commented that at this time, there was really no market for Hollywood films in Hong Kong.

Today's Hong Kong is dominated by Hong Kong films, and Hollywood films generally have little market here. This is contrary to the situation where the market will be better twenty years later.

"Okay, let's go and watch the treasure hunt." Since Zheng Weijia had ruled out going to Longtan alone, Cai Zhiliang chose the treasure hunt and never asked Zheng Weijia for his opinion.

It has been more than a week since The Trial was released. When Cai Zhiliang and Zheng Weijia walked into the cinema, they saw only a sparse audience.

Not long after the two sat down, the movie started.

From a comedy point of view, this movie is pretty good. The scene about trying to get eyes with teeth at the beginning still made the audience laugh. Then the scene where Jiang Dawei peed on the bar counter made people laugh even more.

"Jiang Dawei is so ridiculous," Cai Zhiliang commented while watching.

Zheng Weijia also said: "Yes, I used to watch him play heroes,"

Cai Zhiliang said: "Me too, my impression of him is still the thunder power and masculinity in the one-armed sword. I guess he would never have thought that one day he would play such a role, so vulgar."

"Yeah." Zheng Weijia nodded.

It was almost ten o'clock after watching the movie, and Cai Zhiliang drove Zheng Weijia home.

On the way to see Zheng Weijia off, Cai Zhiliang asked, "Are you free tomorrow? Let's go out and play together?"

While Cai Zhiliang was full of expectations, he was declined by Zheng Weijia, saying: "Axia and I have made an appointment tomorrow to go shopping together."

"Okay then, let's make an appointment another day when we have time." Cai Zhiliang looked ahead and concentrated on driving, without asking who the Axia Zheng Weijia was talking about.

"Yeah." Zheng Weijia nodded and did not refuse.

Cai Zhiliang in the car felt embarrassed for a while. After being rejected, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what Zheng Weijia was thinking.

When they got downstairs from Zheng Weijia, just as Zheng Weijia was about to get off the car, Cai Zhiliang said, "Let me ask you something..."

Seeing Cai Zhiliang hesitating, he seemed to have something to say, until Zheng Weijia looked at him curiously and said "hmm" in agreement.

Cai Zhiliang composed himself and said, "How do you feel about me?"

Zheng Weijia obviously didn't expect Cai Zhiliang to ask this question, and was silent for a moment. After this period of silence, Cai Zhiliang knew that it was over, and his heart suddenly sank.

Sure enough, Zheng Weijia jumped out word by word: "I think you are a very good boy. I feel... I feel like a younger brother..."

After saying that, Zheng Weijia opened the car door, turned around and smiled, saying: "Bye..."

Cai Zhiliang also waved his hand and opened his mouth, but did not say "Bye".

Cai Zhiliang sat alone in the car, slamming his hands on the steering wheel, feeling a little frustrated.

Is this the end again? I haven't even held your hand yet.
