his substitute

Xun Musheng never thought of buying grapefruit downstairs in Zhongcan Media.

After receiving the photo secretly taken by Xu Cheng, he ordered his assistant Wang Ke to buy the "sweetest" grapefruit.The pomelo is bought back, beautifully packaged, beautiful in color, and there are paper labels hanging on the pomelo peel.But compared with the grapefruit Wen Yun was holding, there seemed to be something missing.

Wang Ke looked left and right with the grapefruit in his hand, wishing to find a boss who looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass, and his heart collapsed.

He doesn't know how to pick grapefruits. He has tasted all kinds of grapefruits and found them to be very sweet, but they all have astringency.

Xun Musheng took off the label and asked Wang Ke to carry the grapefruit to the back seat of the car.

In the evening rush hour, Yuhong Road is heavily congested.Xun Musheng set off early, and he didn't feel irritable when he was stuck on the road. He casually looked out of the car and saw an old farmer carrying a pole on his shoulder.

There are many light yellow grapefruits in the basket.

Xun Musheng wanted to make a detour and park in the alley behind Yuhong Road, but the old farmer was probably rushing home for dinner, walking like flying.Xun Musheng had no choice but to step aside immediately and stop the old farmer.

All the grapefruits in the world are similar, but Xun Musheng picked them up and weighed them, somehow feeling that they were the brothers and sisters of the grapefruit Wen Yun was sniffing.

The old farmer smiled and said, "Do you want to buy grapefruit? I grow this grapefruit at home. It has thin skin and juicy juice. It is not sweet and does not cost money. The girls and boys who work here like it!"

Xun Musheng got the point - all the guys who work here like it.

"I want them all." He pointed to the two baskets: "Please help me move them, how much?"

The old farmer was very happy.

The pomelo he grows at home doesn’t have much sweetness, but it’s quite sour. The only advantage is that it’s juicy. The girls and boys shook their heads after tasting it. Only one person bought five without trying it at noon. It’s a kind buyer. number 1.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the old farmer was in a good mood, thinking about selling in another place tomorrow, maybe he could meet honest buyer No. 2, but he was stopped after walking a few steps.

He didn't mean to deceive others.If that person offered to try it, he would also present one to let the other party "test the poison".But with a wave of his hand, he bought everything as soon as he bought it.

It's even cuter than the No. 1 honest buyer at noon, oh no, he's also kind.

Xun Musheng was given a ticket for parking where he shouldn't have parked.

But he was in a good mood. After moving the grapefruit, he sent the old farmer away. He drove the car into the alley, sat in the driver's seat with a grapefruit in his arms, and saw that it was almost time before calling Wen Yun.

"Is it off work? I'm here."

"Now, where are you?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xun Musheng felt that Wen Yun's tone was wrong, he seemed a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

Such recognition made him feel better, and he naturally thought: Wen Yun is shy.

It is rare to get off work on time, and Wen Yun and several colleagues waited for the elevator together, feeling uneasy.

When he heard that "the owner of the luxury car bought all the grapefruits from the old farmer", he had a bad feeling, but he was not sure that the person was Xun Musheng.But Xu Cheng leaned against the window and watched for a while, then turned around and raised his eyebrows at him with a deep smile.He knew that the so-called "luxury car owner" must be Xun Musheng.

Fortunately, Xun Musheng called just now and said that he parked in the health alley on the back street.

He was relieved that few colleagues passed by there.

"You also bought grapefruit?" When opening the passenger door for Wenyun, Xun Musheng took the grapefruit pocket from him, pretending to be surprised.

Wen Yun saw grapefruit piled up like a hill on the back seat at a glance, and was speechless for a moment.

After much deliberation, there is only one explanation - Xu Cheng saw his grapefruit and told Xun Musheng.

But it is inconvenient to say this clearly, Wen Yun just nodded, "I bought it from the old farmer downstairs."

Xun Musheng recalled the words of the old farmer, and said with a smile: "I am a gift from someone else. The skin is thin and juicy. If you like grapefruit, take half of it back."

Wen Yun was a little nervous at first, but when he heard the full-fledged lie, he suddenly felt a little relieved. He turned his head to see if Xun Musheng blushed when he was lying, but he happened to meet the other party's eyes.

"You can take them all," Xun Musheng said.

The last meal was Xun Musheng's choice, and it was Xun Musheng's choice.This time Xun Musheng still wanted to be the master, and asked symbolically "what do you want to eat", thinking that Wen Yun would say "whatever", but Wen Yun turned on the phone map and said, "Go here."

"Sanqiao Yuzhuang?" Xun Musheng was surprised. He didn't expect Wen Yun to take the initiative to choose a place, but before he was happy, Wen Yun said politely: "You invited me last time, this time I will invite you."

Xun Musheng was not happy anymore.

But Wen Yun's voice was not loud, and his tone was not serious, but his attitude was a bit tough: "That business is very good. I just reserved a seat. If I don't go within time, the seat will be cancelled."

Xun Musheng immediately lit the fire.

When the car drove out of Health Lane, no one noticed that someone came out from the end of the lane.

Along the way, Xun Musheng's mood was more complicated than ever.

On the one hand, he was happy that Wen Yun was willing to eat with him, on the other hand, he was disappointed that Wen Yun was rushing to pay the bill.It doesn't cost much to eat a meal. Wen Yun's income is not high, but it is definitely not low. Treating guests to dinner will not make your pockets shy.But by doing this, Wen Yun clearly distanced himself from him.

But after thinking about it, there is no rush for this matter. If it goes too far, Wen Yun might feel that his self-esteem is hurt.

Wen Yun was no more relaxed than Xun Musheng, and he was also thinking about it. When he arrived at Yuzhuang, he ordered good food and sat opposite Xun Musheng, not knowing what to say.

He didn't know that his slightly uneasy appearance actually tickled Xun Musheng's heart.

After dinner, Xun Musheng suggested taking a walk to digest food, and Wen Yun wanted to go home earlier.Li Xiao didn't like him, and hated working with him very much, but he was meticulous about his work. Before leaving get off work, he sent him a copy of the information of various merchants in Shengxi Plaza. The content was detailed, but he didn't say a single redundant word.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious - go back to work overtime and get familiar with it, don't hold back our team!

He didn't reply, so he copied the information into a USB flash drive, intending to take care of it in the next few days, and naturally he didn't have time to take a walk with Xun Musheng.

Xun Musheng saw his troubled face and asked, "What's wrong?"

He simply stopped hiding it: "I have taken on a project, and the time is tight."

Xun Musheng understood, and in line with the principle of gradual and orderly progress, he said gracefully, "I'll take you back."

Talking about grapefruits on the road again, Wen Yun subconsciously declined, Xun Musheng tried to persuade him a few times before he missed the point: "Take all of them, I won't eat them even if I bring them home."

Wen Yun was taken aback, "Why?"

"I don't know how to peel it. The skin is too thick, so it's troublesome to peel it off." Xun Musheng thought for a while and emphasized, "I live alone, and no one will help me peel it off."

"You can't peel grapefruit?"

Xun Musheng didn't think it would be embarrassing if he didn't know how to peel grapefruits. Instead, he thought it was a good opportunity to get to know Wen Yun. He simply parked the car on the side of the road, took one, and scratched the rough grapefruit peel twice with his neatly manicured nails. , while peeling it with difficulty and disorderly, he complained: "The grapefruit skin is thick, if it is not peeled, I usually don't eat it."

Wen Yun's eyes flickered, and after a while, he took out the small knife he carried with him, took the pomelo from Xun Musheng's hand, quickly wiped everything on the pomelo peel, and peeled off half of the pomelo peel.

Then I brought a few more from the back seat, and cut each one crosswise. The peeled pomelo peel was like a bowl.

Xun Musheng's eyes lit up, and he guessed what Wen Yun was going to say.

Sure enough, Wen Yun put the bowl-shaped pomelo peel back on, "I only opened six of them, and if there are too many, it will go bad. Take out a few petals when you eat, and cover the rest, so that it will keep fresher."

Xun Musheng sent Wen Yun to the Lian'an community. When Wen Yun got off the car, the five grapefruits in his pocket turned into ten.

Sitting in the car, Xun Musheng looked at the split grapefruit, and realized that he had never been so happy in recent years.

Break off a piece and taste it, it is seven points sour and three points sweet.He frowned, feeling cheated by the old farmer.But after another taste, the sweetness seems to turn around in the mouth, covering all the sour and astringent.

Wen Yun put the grapefruit in the kitchen, and stood by the desk in a daze.

In the car just now, Xun Musheng said, "When you don't have to work overtime on weekends, I'll take you off-road in the mountains."

He also said: "After eating these six, I will come to you to help me peel them again."

He knew he should refuse, but he said "yes".

For so many years, no one has invaded his life as forcefully as Xun Musheng.He thought he would be extremely resistant—and he had resisted before, but now the resistance seemed powerless.

Because in Xun Musheng's behavior, he saw the shadow of Chi Yu.This made him at a loss. Rather than saying that he didn't know how to refuse, it was better to say that he was greedy for those slight psychological comforts.

Chi Yu didn't eat pomelo back then, because he thought the skin was too thick and it was troublesome to peel it.He cut the pomelo peel, broke the pomelo flesh, and finally snapped the bowl-shaped pomelo peel back, stuffing the whole thing into Chiyu's arms.

Chi Yu tossed the grapefruit, and happily said to everyone he met: "My partner peeled it for me."

His teammates laughed and scolded him for not knowing how to peel a grapefruit, but he was even more proud, "So what if you don't know how to peel a grapefruit? Brother's partner is virtuous, and your partner will fight with you!"

The past is like smoke around your fingertips, and it will disperse when the wind blows.

Wen Yun sighed in a low voice. On the one hand, he felt that he was despicable. He obviously didn't have any love for Xun Musheng, and he couldn't remember how many times he had met in the past, but he refused to do so just because the other party's personality was somewhat similar to Chi Yu's. Completely draw the line; on the one hand, he did absorb some long-lost warmth from Xun Musheng.

The sense of contradiction tore him gently, making him at a loss.Turning on the computer and exporting the data in the USB flash drive, I also looked at it absent-mindedly.

Under the same dense night, Xun Musheng's mood was completely different.Wen Yun doesn't resist him like before, everything is developing in a good direction.

Pulling a cart full of grapefruits home, he received a call from Ye Fenglin just as he was packing up.

The brothers were drinking in the cold house and told him to go too.

He leisurely peeled off the skin of the pomelo and threw it into a large white porcelain bowl, with a smile in his voice: "No, I'm busy."

"What are you busy with?" Ye Fenglin said drunkenly, "Come and drink."

"Drink it yourself." Xun Musheng rummaged through the box and found an unopened bottle of rose nectar, "Hang up."

"Tsk!" Ye Fenglin really drank too much, before hanging up, he said to Qiao Yang beside him: "If the dog doesn't come out, he's going to be a good woman. What's so good about that Wen Yun..."

Xun Musheng put away the phone, poured nectar on the grapefruit meat, and said to himself: "He will peel the grapefruit for me, which of your boyfriends and girlfriends will?"

Grapefruit is too astringent, it's okay to eat a piece, but it hits the tongue if there are too many.

But the grapefruit was dissected by Wen Yun, so it is impossible to throw it away.

Xun Musheng picked up a piece of nectar pomelo, half-closed his eyes in satisfaction.

After the last round of autumn appreciation activities, half of the staff in the tourism and food group applied for a rest, but Wen Yun had no chance to breathe, because the day to go to Shengxi Plaza to discuss cooperation has arrived.

On weekdays, the atrium of the square is not as lively as it is on weekends. The weather cools down, and there are two-thirds fewer street photographers.

Wen Yun was always punctual, and arrived 20 minutes early. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao arrived earlier. When he saw him, he frowned slightly and walked quickly.

He thought that the other party was going to say something ugly again, but he only heard one sentence: "Come with me."

To the garage.

Li Xiao wore a smart dress, bowed and took out a large paper bag from the back seat, and handed it to Wen Yun: "Take off the down jacket and put it in my car, and wear this to the meeting."

Wen Yun didn't answer, slightly puzzled.

Li Xiao snorted, "I knew you were going to wear a down jacket, so change it quickly. Your travel and food section doesn't have a dress code, but our fashion section does."

Wen Yun understood that it was because he thought his down jacket was not "fashionable" enough.

It was related to work, so it was inconvenient for him to argue with Li Xiao, and he also knew that the other party was not deliberately making things difficult this time, so he quickly changed his clothes.Li Xiao stared at him for a long time, and straightened his collar for him.

Shengxi Plaza is a property owned by Haicheng Real Estate. As soon as Wen Yun and Li Xiao got out of the elevator, they heard someone say: "No, no, these people are too soft, and they don't fit the theme of our promotion!"

Wen Yun felt that this voice seemed to be heard somewhere.
