After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

Song Yanxi was not in the mood to deal with work matters today. When he learned that Jing Xiuyuan had arrived downstairs in the company, he simply left work early.

When Qiu Liang saw him coming out, he quickly got out of the car and opened the back seat door.

After Song Yanxi got in the car, she said quietly: "Where are you taking me?"

Jing Xiuyuan was not ready to tell him now: "You will know when the time comes."

Song Yanxi glanced at him sharply and didn't ask any more questions.

He didn't sleep well last night, and now he was extremely tired. He leaned on the seat and closed his eyes after a while.

Hearing the even breathing sound in the carriage, Jing Xiuyuan raised his eyes and looked at the sleeping person with his eyes closed.

The man's head was leaning back on the seat. His hair, which had always been meticulously combed, was a little messy. A strand spread from the temples to his forehead, but it did not affect the appearance of his face. Instead, it added a bit of unruly handsomeness.

Even when he fell asleep, his brows were still slightly furrowed and did not relax.

Seeing the dark blue under his eyes, I knew that he must be worried about Chu Yanyi and didn't get a good rest last night.

I don't know whether it's because the company has a lot of things to do near the end of the year, or because of Chu Yanyi's death, but he seems to be much thinner than two months ago.

Seeing the thin man, Jing Xiuyuan's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of distress.

While Qiu Liang was driving, he looked at the expression on Jing Xiuyuan's face in the reflector from time to time.

I don't know if he was overthinking it, but he always felt that the way the other person looked at his boss was too weird. It didn't look like he was looking at a friend at all, but rather like... Qiu Liang couldn't describe it.

All in all, it just felt weird for no reason.

Realizing that Qiu Liang was looking at him through the reflector, Jing Xiuyuan quickly withdrew his gaze from Song Yanxi and looked out the window pretending to be nonchalant.

After the car arrived at the location, just as Jing Xiuyuan was about to warn him, Song Yanxi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you here?" His voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up.

Jing Xiuyuan nodded: "Get out of the car."

After the two got off the car, Song Yanxi saw the words "Three meals a day private restaurant" in front of him: "Is this the place you want to take me to?"

"Ah."

"What are you doing here?"

"Have a meal."

Song Yanxi's voice suddenly became a few degrees colder: "Xiuyuan, I'm not kidding you."

Seeing that he was showing signs of anger, Jing Xiuyuan had no choice but to say, "Don't you want to know about Chu Yanyi? You'll find out after I come in."

Song Yanxi had no choice but to suppress his emotions and follow Jing Xiuyuan in.

Under the guidance of the boss, the two chose a small box for six people and sat down. Jing Xiuyuan handed the menu handed over by the boss to Song Yanxi: "You can order some."

After Song Yanxi opened the menu, his eyes narrowed slightly.

[Old Duck Soup]

[Three-color tofu]

[Steamed seabass]

[Longjing Shrimp]

[Boiled beef]

[Fried Cashew Nuts with Shrimp]

[Stir-fried broccoli]

[Steamed pork ribs with garlic]

[...]

These dishes were all dishes Chu Yanyi had cooked for him many times, and Chu Yanyi had specially learned to cook them for him.

Exactly the same dish name...

Song Yanxi suppressed the strangeness in his heart and ordered all these dishes.

The boss hesitated for a moment and said tactfully: "The portions of our dishes are sufficient. There are only two of you, so ordering seven dishes and one soup would be a bit..."

Jing Xiuyuan smiled and cut off his words: "Just bring these dishes up. If you don't finish them, we will take them away."

Hearing what he said, it was hard for the boss to say anything.

After the boss left the box with the menu, Song Yanxi locked eyes with Jing Xiuyuan: "What exactly do you want to express by bringing me here?"

Jing Xiuyuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Song Yanxi, then poured a cup for himself, and then said: "Yanxi, I remember one time when I went to your company, I happened to meet Chu Yanyi coming to deliver food to you. I was eating at that time Those dishes tasted a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had eaten them. You said that Chu Yanyi learned to cook those dishes specially for you, so I didn't think much about them. "

Song Yanxi thought about his words, her dark brown eyes very quiet and deep: "Are you trying to say that those dishes were not cooked by Chu Yanyi himself at all, but were takeaways he ordered here?"

Now that he has brought people over, Jing Xiuyuan has no intention of hiding it anymore: "Yes, Chu Yanyi doesn't know how to cook at all. The so-called learning of cooking skills just for you and learning to cook your favorite dishes is all a lie to you. The dishes he cooked for you are actually takeaway orders from here."

Song Yanxi's eyebrows were filled with anger: "This is impossible! I once saw him cooking in the kitchen. There is no way he doesn't know how to cook!"

Listening to his categorical denial, Jing Xiuyuan said helplessly: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I know you won't believe what I said. When the dishes you ordered are served and you taste them, you will understand everything." .”

Song Yanxi felt his temples jump suddenly, and two emotions were entangled and competing in his heart.

On the one hand, he felt ridiculous. How could Chu Yanyi order takeout for him if he loved him so much? On the other hand, he couldn't help but be shaken by Jing Xiuyuan's words.

Jing Xiuyuan was his friend and brother he had known for more than 20 years, so there was no need to lie to him.

With two emotions lingering in his heart, Song Yanxi didn't know who to believe.

Jing Xiuyuan drank tea silently and said nothing more.

More than forty minutes later, the dishes ordered were served.

Song Yanxi picked up a piece of boiled beef with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He quickly noticed something was wrong.

This smell... is so familiar.

He picked up another piece of garlic pork ribs and tasted it. The taste... was exactly the same.

Believe it or not, he tasted all the other dishes one after another. He was still lucky, but now his eyes were filled with anger and disbelief.

The meals that Chu Yanyi had cooked for him in the past were not cooked by Chu Yanyi at all, but...

Chu Yanyi clearly loved him with all his heart, so why did he deceive himself? Could it be that he simply...

Do not!

Song Yanxi immediately erased the thoughts that popped into his mind.

It's impossible for Chu Yanyi not to love herself!

He firmly believes that words and actions can deceive, but eyes can never deceive.

Chu Yanyi looked at him with eyes full of love, it was impossible for him to be acting.

Even if it is acting, it is impossible to act for two years.

Seeing Song Yanxi's brows knitted together tightly, with a frightening storm gathering in his eyes, Jing Xiuyuan's breath froze for a few seconds, and he said: "Yanxi, Chu Yanyi doesn't love you at all. You don't need to blame yourself for his death anymore." Guilty..."

Song Yanxi pursed her lips downwards and her eyes were as cold as ice: "There's no way he doesn't love me!"

"If he loves you, why would he use these takeaways to deceive you? We have been together for two years and you don't even know what he is really like. Why do you think he loves you?"

Song Yanxi's voice suddenly became calm as he was raging with anger: "If he didn't love me, why would he stay with me for two years? Why would he act in front of me? Why would he lie to me?"

Jing Xiuyuan was silent and speechless, because this was also the reason why he was still puzzled.
