unexpected rain

Lin fried medium-rare red wine steak and refreshing shrimp stewed noodles. He is also good at Western food. It's fresh and sweet.

After Lin opened a bottle of red wine, he sat opposite Xiang Shi and raised their glasses to each other.

"Try to see if it fits." Lin Ji looked at Xiang Shifang expectantly.

Xiang Shifang cut a piece of steak. The quality of the steak was very good and the taste was very tender. The aroma of the red wine cooked perfectly blended with the taste of the steak itself. Every bite could squeeze out the mellow juice.

Xiang Shifang raised his eyes to look at Lin Ji, Lin Ji looked a bit interesting, not as if he was waiting for his comment, but as if he was waiting for his praise.

In order to verify this conjecture, Xiang Shifang frowned deliberately and did not answer, but his dissatisfaction could be seen from his expression.

Lin Ji really became nervous and embarrassed, "Are you not used to raw food? Or did I put too much salt? Or did I accidentally add garlic?"

Xiang Shifang looked at Lin Ji's anxious look, but his face was not as graceful as usual, and somehow felt that he was more lively, and he also had a feeling of... being cared about.

Caring about the feelings of guests is the basic way of hospitality. Although Xiang Shifang didn't have such awareness, it didn't prevent him from understanding what others did, so he didn't think too much about it.

"It tastes good." Xiang Shifang said.

"But that's not what you said just now." Lin Ji became more serious, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about my face, if it's not good, just say it..."

"..." Xiang Shifang couldn't say that he did it on purpose, and his tone became cold unconsciously, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Lin Ji is very sensitive to Xiang Shifang's words and deeds. When he said this, Lin Ji immediately stopped and put on a smile, "I like to study cooking skills, so I care about other people's opinions. .”

Xiang Shifang's clear but cold eyes can easily see through the essence.

are lying.

But there's no need to break it down, Xiang Shifang just let out a "huh" and casually sliced ​​the steak.

Lin is a master of the atmosphere, and he has countless stories to tell, from the difficulties in the early stages of employment to the customs and customs he has seen when traveling around the world, he can tell them wittily and lively.He seems to be able to manipulate people's attention. In such a relaxing place like the dinner table, he can always open up the other party's chatterbox.

Lin Ji crossed his fingers and rested his chin, and looked directly at Xiang Shifang, with gentle eyes that would not make people uncomfortable. He listened carefully and attentively, making people fully feel that he was respected.

Even, being adored.

After the meal, Lin saw that there was still some flour at home, so he wanted to make dessert. In the final analysis, he just wanted Xiang Shifang to stay for a while.

Xiang Shifang sat on the sofa, feeding his aunt the hair cream.

At this time his cell phone rang, it was Xie Zhaofeng.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Shifang said while teasing the cat.

"I heard from my father that you almost got into a fight with angina pectoris at the bidding meeting today?" Xie Zhaofeng said cheerfully.

"Don't add oil and vinegar." Xiang Shifang said.

"If you step on the foot of angina pectoris, she will definitely want to bite you. I can only call it a prophet."

Xiang Shifang twirled lightly with the hand holding the hair cream, and his aunt and grandma chased after him, meowing.

Xie Zhaofeng also heard the meowing of the cat, and asked suspiciously, "Where are you? Why are there still cats?"

The aunt pounced and hugged Xiang Shifang's arm.

Lin was always watching over there, and his aunt's nails grew again. He was worried that he would scratch Xiang Shifang, so he shouted, "Grandma, don't stretch your claws!"

Xie Zhaofeng heard it again, and became even more puzzled, "How many people are there beside you?"

Xiang Shifang threw the hair cream forward, and his aunt immediately let go and ran after him. He said, "I'm at Lin Ji's house."

"Lin Ji?" This answer made Xie Zhaofeng stunned for a moment, "Huh? Why are you at his house? When did you get along so well?

"I met him at a banquet, and he said he wanted to invite me to dinner, so he came." Xiang Shifang said.

"It's the first time I know that you can get close to people so quickly."

"Close?" Xiang Shifang was puzzled by this.

"That's right, I've known you for so many years, I can count all the houses you've been to with one slap, not to mention, it's an old classmate's house that I haven't seen in seven or eight years."

"What's so strange about that?"

"Your defense is lowered." The old god Xie Zhaofeng said.

Xiang Shifang looked at Lin Ji, and he said that to make a thousand-layer pancake, he needed a pancake crust. He could flip the pan neatly, and the formed pancake crust would flip over in mid-air, and then fall back to its original place.

Lin was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his slender wrists. Under the light, he looked thin and gentle.

Xiang Shifang was slightly taken aback.

This simple picture gently touched his heart, a kind of complex softness and satisfaction.

"Hey, hey! You won't be eaten, right?" Xie Zhaofeng yelled.

Xiang Shifang lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "No."

"By the way, that person is ready to come back." Xie Zhaofeng pretended to be mysterious.

Xiang Shifang hooked his fingers at his aunt, and soon got a cat's head. He said, "She has a name. She told me yesterday. What's wrong?"

"Tch, anyway, you are also each other's first love, the sweet and youthful regret in high school, do you want to be so cold?" Xie Zhaofeng asked crookedly.

"My only regret in high school has nothing to do with her," Xiang Shifang said.

"That's right, that mysterious "Concerto in the Rain", right? Maybe he's married and had children long ago." Xie Zhaofeng said, "By the way, speaking of Qiao Nuo, did Lin Ji like Qiao Nuo before?"

Xiang Shifang frowned quickly.

"No, it doesn't seem to be..." Xie Zhaofeng was lost in thought.

At the same time, Lin Ji also came over with Melaleuca, "Peach Melaleuca...Auntie, why did you bite the hair cream like this?"

Xiang Shifang hung up the phone without waiting for Xie Zhaofeng to think about it, and said to Lin Ji, "I didn't hold it to feed it, so it bit me."

"Oh, it's all right." Since Lin is such a double standard, he looked at Xiang Shifang with a smile, "Try it, do you want coffee?"

Xiang Shifang asked for a cup.

While eating dessert, Lin Ji mentioned the text messages he had sent in the past few days.

"Did you...have you received it?" Lin Ji asked anxiously. He knew that Xiang Shifang must have received it, but the knowledge that it was ignored made him feel melancholy.

"Yes." Xiang Shifang said.

It would be hypocritical to ask why you didn't reply, so Lin Ji smiled comfortably: "Just receive it, I thought it was sent by mistake."

He knew that he had to have a reason to explain this sudden enthusiasm, so he said: "When I was in high school, I... looked forward to you, but I didn't dare to talk to you at that time, so now I want to feel how much it is to chat with you." what does it feel like."

"You like to ask questions." Xiang Shifang said.

"Huh?" Lin Ji was slightly surprised.

"Isn't it?" Xiang Shifang seemed to be thinking back, "I seem to remember that you always ask me a lot of questions."

"Yes, Xie Zhaofeng called me a problem baby at that time." Lin Ji said, "You remember something again."

Xiang Shifang coughed lightly, compared to Lin Ji's meticulous memory, his forgetfulness seemed rude.

"Do you remember everyone in high school clearly?" Xiang Shifang asked.

"Of course not." Lin Ji bit off a piece of juicy peach, and even his tone became sweeter, "I only remember what I don't want to forget."

"..."

Xiang Shifang felt uncomfortable and turned his face away, this person always seemed to be able to say something wrong naturally.

But he didn't feel disgusted, which was even more wrong.

"We've strayed from the topic." Lin Ji raised a finger, "Continue to talk about text messages. That is... can you reply me a little bit? Reply to one out of five, even if you have read it."

"Why?" Xiang Shifang asked.

"Because I know you've seen it, I'm very satisfied." Lin Ji leaned towards him slightly, with a wet request in his eyes, "Is it okay?"

Xiangshi never bothered to do this kind of boring thing, but today, for some reason, he nodded his head as if he had forgotten that there was an option to refuse.

Lin Ji's eyes suddenly burst into light, he was like a child who got his wish, he couldn't help laughing even eating dessert, if Xiang Shifang wasn't around, he might even hum a song.

Xiang Shifang didn't understand why he was so happy, but emotions are contagious, so Xiang Shifang couldn't help but relax, and kindly reminded him, "My mouth is sticky with cream."

Lin wiped it off with his thumb and then licked it off.

Xiang Shifang was caught off guard and saw Lin Ji's pink and wet tongue.

He thought that when he was feeding his aunt just now, the cat would lick its paws to clean itself when it was full. Could humans be infected by animals?Xiang Shifang thought endlessly.

After dessert, Xiang Shifang sat for a while, watching Lin Ji use the cat teasing stick to help his aunt exercise. He accidentally saw Lin Ji's hand waving the cat teasing stick, with a black Patek Philippe on his wrist, It made his wrists white and thin even more.

Even when Lin was cooking, he didn't seem to pick it off.

But this is just a trivial matter, there is no need to understand it, Xiang Shifang cares about the time, it is almost eleven o'clock, and he has stayed at Lin Ji's house for three hours unknowingly.

"I should go back." Xiang Shifang got up and said.

"Huh? Are you leaving?" Lin Ji looked up at him, his eyes accidentally revealing a bit of retention.

"I still have to go to work tomorrow," Xiang Shifang said.

"Ah...that's right, I forgot to think about this." Lin Ji said, "I'll see you off."

"No, I'll call the driver."

"By the way, I forgot to give you something." Lin Ji took out a small box from his coat, "This is for you."

Xiang Shifang took it and opened it. It was a low-luxury and simple sapphire brooch. The light reflected by the smooth and clear cut surface was like a quiet star.

"Why did you give it to me?" Xiang Shifang asked, for Lin Ji, he would always say "why".

"The first time I saw it, I thought it should be given to you." Lin Ji said, "This is what I do, and this is the only thing I can do."

Xiang Shifang got into his driver's car, he looked back, Lin Ji was still watching him at the gate of the community, met his gaze, and waved with a smile.

Xiang Shifang nodded, indicating that he could go back.

Then he recalled the time since he met Lin Ji today, as if he had done many things that he couldn't understand.

For example, he went to a stranger's house easily, ate and chatted unsuspectingly there, and finally accepted an expensive gift.

Xiang Shifang turned his head again, Lin Ji's figure was already very small, but he didn't leave.

Could it be that he was drugged with ecstasy?Xiang Shifang had this weird thought.
