After Jin Li hung up the phone, the surroundings became completely quiet. The roommates who had not heard any noise in the guest bedroom came out one by one. Cheng Si looked up at them and smiled, "Are you still drinking?"

Seeing his smile, his roommates were hesitant to speak. He looked completely satisfied and happy. Those who wanted to persuade him shut up.

Hou Zuocheng laughed dryly twice, "I won't drink anymore. I have to go home to be with my wife. I'll go back first. Let's meet again later," and then he ran away.

Cheng Si looked at the others again. The other two also found excuses to go back. Finally, only Lin Zhi was left. He did not leave in a hurry. He returned to the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Why do you suddenly want to get back together?" He asked while looking at Cheng Si.

Cheng Si didn't know if she was drunk or not, but she answered every question very frankly, "I looked through my old diary today and found out the reason for our breakup. In fact, he loved me too much before, but I... always kept something back.

I just realized that I was always immersed in my own ideas and was always timid in doing things.

I never asked him what he thought before, I just did what I thought was good for him, but both of us were hurt.

Now even if he rejects me, if he is still alone I have to be selfish and treat him well.”

After listening to this monologue, Lin Zhi probably understood some of the cause and effect relationships. He suddenly found it a little funny. "It's rare for you to be so straightforward. Tsk, I thought you were completely taken advantage of by him. Now it seems that you two are the same."

"Don't blame me, you are the same," Cheng Si looked at him and patted his shoulder, "If Lin Zi is uncomfortable, let's find someone else to like."

Lin Zhi took his hand away, "Are you drunk or pretending to be drunk? You speak so logically and bluntly, and you are so drunk that no one can do anything about it."

Cheng Si chuckled when he heard that, shook his head and fell dizzy on the sofa, "I'm not drunk, just a little dizzy."

"Okay, drunkard, go back to your room and sleep. I'm going back," Lin Zhi shook the messy corner of his coat on the sofa.

Cheng Si even stood up to open the door for him and waved to him, "Goodbye, be careful on the road~"

Lin Zhi was a little amused and hummed, "Hurry up and go into the house. Don't wait for me to leave. If you forget to close the door, thieves will come in at night."

"Thank you for your reminder, let's go," Cheng Si didn't care anymore. There was a loud slam of the door closing, and he locked it.

Lin Zhi originally just guessed that he was a little drunk, but now he is completely sure that this man must be drunk. He usually looks serious and it is impossible for him to lock the door before his friends leave.

When I thought about what would happen to this person tomorrow, I felt a little embarrassed and regretful about my behavior tonight, but as I thought about it, I couldn't laugh anymore. While I was happy for my brother, I also felt sad for myself.

...

"Brother, Brother!"

Cheng Si came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Cheng, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay. I was a little distracted just now. What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Si had a hangover and was absent-minded for two days. He was a man who drank non-stop and remembered everything he had done. His thoughts were in a mess and he didn't know what to do, so he put it aside for the time being.

"Oh, thank you for your help this time, Senior Brother. Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I'm not busy these days, no need to thank me. I have an appointment with someone tonight. I'm sorry I may not have time," Cheng Si said sincerely.

The student touched his nose after hearing this and said, "Are you free tomorrow? I'll treat you tomorrow?"

Cheng Si didn't quite understand why he was so obsessed with a meal, and sighed helplessly, "You can treat my sister to a meal. My phone ran out of battery at noon today, so she paid for me, and I haven't paid her back yet."

Cheng Si looked at the clock in the laboratory. It was almost half past six. He packed up the data report on hand, then walked to the door of a laboratory and knocked twice.

The girl who heard the noise put down her work and looked over here. Cheng Si nodded and said, "Are you still busy?"

The girl came over and took off her mask when she heard that. "I just finished my work. What's up?"

"I have something to do today and can't leave. Xiao Jiang is treating me. Can you go in my place? I just happen to need your money."

"You have a very smart plan. How can I let my junior brother treat me? So where are you going tonight?" The girl raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.

She and Cheng Si were classmates in college, and now they have the same instructor and have a pretty good relationship.

"Blind date," Cheng Siyan replied succinctly.

The girl's eyes widened when she heard this, "Did your family introduce you to him?"

"Yes," Cheng Si nodded.

"By the way, don't you like boys? Do your family know about this?"

Cheng Si sighed when he heard this, "I know, so the other party is also a boy."

The girl nodded and gave a thumbs up, "Your family is really open-minded."

Cheng Si just smiled and said nothing. "Are you okay later? If you can't go, I will directly refuse the junior brother's request."

"Hey, I have some time. I'm just bored eating alone, so go on your date."

Hearing this, Cheng Si nodded helplessly, "Thank you."

Today's dinner was arranged for him by his mother in advance, and Cheng Si couldn't just be rude and not go. The other party was probably very busy at work. They just added each other on WeChat yesterday and made an appointment to meet today.

Cheng Si therefore felt that he still had to meet and explain things clearly.

The appointment was made at a western restaurant. When Cheng Si arrived at the place, he saw at a glance that there was a good-looking and elegant man sitting at the appointed seat. He was dressed in a suit and looked very elite.

Cheng Si walked over, and the man probably noticed him and smiled at him, "Please sit down."

Cheng Si arrived and thanked him for sitting down.

"Cheng Sixiang, what would you like to eat?" He handed over the menu and said, "You can order anything you want."

Although the two knew each other by name, Cheng Si still didn't expect this person to be so familiar. He took the menu and thanked the waiter again, then asked for a plate of black pepper beef tenderloin pasta and a glass of ice cola. Since he didn't eat Western food much, he just ordered according to his own preferences, very casually.

The person opposite him didn't say anything about his order, and asked considerately, "Would you like some dessert?"

Cheng Si shook his head, "Thank you, but it's enough to eat."

The man didn't say anything else, and the two began chatting while waiting for their meal.

The person opposite looked at Cheng Si and narrowed his eyes. "You seem to be a stranger to me?"

Cheng Si looked at his somewhat aggressive eyes, paused for a moment and really couldn't remember, so he asked politely, "Mr. Sheng, do you know me?"

After hearing this, Sheng Zhe confirmed that this person really didn't remember him, and he didn't get angry and replied calmly, "We were high school classmates. Lin Zi and I were on the same team, but we didn't have much interaction in high school."

Cheng Si felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and didn't know what was going on. During this period, one or two of them were people he knew in high school. Cheng Si had read his diary and there was indeed no such person. He should not be familiar with them. "Oh, that's quite a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence. I came here because I heard your name."

Hearing this, Cheng Si didn't know what to say. Just then the meal came, and the two stopped talking. Cheng Si took the initiative to ask him, "I heard that Mr. Sheng just came back from abroad?"

Sheng Zhe was a little amused when he heard him say, "Hey, Cheng Si, you don't have to call me Mr. Sheng all the time, we are the same age, just call me Sheng Zhe."

Cheng Si nodded when he heard this, but did not shout. He was calculating in his mind when would be the most appropriate time to explain his purpose.

The two were chatting when Cheng Si's phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and was a little surprised.

The words "Jin Li" above made his heart beat faster. He looked at the person opposite him and said sorry, "I may have to go out to answer a phone call."

Sheng Zhe was very reasonable and said, "It's okay, please do as you please."

Cheng Si found a quiet place and answered the phone before it was disconnected. The other party hung up right after he answered. Cheng Si was a little slow to react and didn't know if the other party had pressed the wrong number, but he still called back as if to confirm.

The other party answered the phone quickly. Cheng Si paused and asked doubtfully, "Jin Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The person on the other side didn't say anything for a long time. Cheng Si looked at the screen as if to confirm. Seeing that the screen was on, he asked again, "Why don't you say anything?"

After the words fell, the other side sneered, "Cheng Si, you are really good now."
