I Treat You as a Brother
Chapter 94
He Chengyi's craftsmanship is indeed very good.
Zou Shun held the bowl, distracted.He was happy, but also anxious.After eating, they rest for a while, chat, should they just take a shower and go to bed?
He thought it was bad before he came, but now he looks forward to it again.
"By the way, I told you just now," He Chengyi swiped the phone a few times, and turned the screen to show him, "Does the new custom-made dining table look good?"
Zou Shun looked at it carefully and was pleasantly surprised: "It looks good, much better than the current one! But will it not match the current overall style?"
"Well," said He Chengyi, "so I plan to redecorate it."
Zou Shun was surprised: "Then the business will be closed?"
"Let's stop for about half a month," He Chengyi said, "Change it up a little bit. Don't worry, it will still be..."
Zou Shun didn't react: "Ah? What about me?"
"The salary will still be calculated according to the normal schedule," He Chengyi said, "because it's our problem."
Only then did Zou Shun realize that He Chengyi was afraid that he would lose his income and be unable to live.
As soon as his heart warmed up, he felt embarrassed to continue to hide it.He's not stupid, he can see He Chengyi's preference for him.That being the case, there is no need to rely on part-time jobs to forcefully maintain the relationship between the two.
"No need, I'm not short of money now, I haven't resigned yet, I just feel very happy working here," he said, "My family pays for my living expenses."
He Chengyi showed joy on his face: "Have you reconciled?"
"That's not true, the money was given by my grandpa and grandma," Zou Shun said, "They don't like my dad, so they don't usually contact our family very much. I didn't know about these things before."
He Chengyi nodded when he heard the words, but didn't ask any further questions.
"Also, I will move to another campus next semester, and the traffic will be very inconvenient." Zou Shun said again.
"That……"
"You have to recruit again." Zou Shun said.
He Chengyi nodded, but remained silent.
There was a moment of silence at the table, and Zou Shun's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
"Boss," he mustered up his courage, but still said obliquely, "Your cooking is really delicious."
He Chengyi smiled: "Then you come here often."
Zou Shun's heart was surging.
But soon, he was poured a basin of cold water on his head.After dinner, He Chengyi cleaned up the dishes and chatted with him for a while.Just as Zou Shun was wondering if it was time to take a bath, He Chengyi stood up and took his coat off the coat rack.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back," he said.
Zou Shun was dumbfounded.
He had already imagined that if he could often meet at home on rest days like this in the future, cook and eat together, and stay overnight after eating, then it would be considered a romantic relationship.
But now, the most critical link was mercilessly clicked by He Chengyi.
It's unbelievable that He Chengyi doesn't have that kind of thought about him.He specially called him here, really just to teach half-baked latte art skills, and cook him a meal along the way.
Zou Shun couldn't recover until he got in the car.
"Then where do you live during the summer vacation?" He Chengyi asked.
"Go to my grandfather," Zou Shun said, "They went abroad to settle down a few years ago, and they said they missed me when they contacted them last time, so I agreed to go and see them."
He Chengyi nodded: "Very good."
Fang Mo sent another message at this time, asking him if he has been ignoring people since he has been fighting fiercely.
Zou Shun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied, "You guessed wrong, I'm already on my way back."
"That friend of yours again?" He Chengyi asked.
"Well," Zou Shun stuffed the phone back into his pocket, "That...boss..."
"how?"
"Since I can't come to work during the summer vacation, can I not call you the boss in the future?"
Taking advantage of the red light, He Chengyi turned his head and glanced at him: "Don't call me uncle."
"How could it be?" Zou Shun shook his head, "You are still very young!"
He Chengyi asked: "Are you only nineteen this year?"
"Well," Zou Shun nodded, and then corrected, "It's already nineteen."
"Then I'm 14 years older than you." He Chengyi smiled and sighed, "I thought I was still young at first, only when I stayed with you did I realize the difference."
"Wait a minute," Zou Shun was surprised, "I thought you were only thirty at most, you look very young!"
"Don't you think I'm old-fashioned when I talk?" He Chengyi laughed at himself, "I always like to preach. It's all a disease of getting old."
"No, that's called maturity," Zou Shun said, "not to mention that preaching has to be divided into types. Some middle-aged uncles talk to you endlessly, but they are actually showing off themselves, wanting to express how capable they are, and their posture is very different. Gao, it doesn't matter who the audience is. The greasy one is completely different from yours."
"What's the difference?"
"You are good for me," Zou Shun said, "I love listening to you talk."
He Chengyi didn't speak.
"You are like mine...my..." Zou Shun tilted his head thinking.
"Dad?" He Chengyi frowned.
"No, my dad won't be so patient with me, not as good as my grandpa."
"..." He Chengyi frowned even deeper.
"I don't have an older brother either," Zou Shun said tentatively, "If I do, it should be how you feel?"
He Chengyi no longer frowned, but did not reply.
The car drove forward for a while, and the compartment was quiet.
Seeing that school was almost here, Zou Shun finally said cautiously: "...Brother?"
"Ok?"
He Chengyi should be very natural.
Zou Shun shook his head: "It's nothing."
He shrank carefully in his position, lowered his head, and snickered.
"Then what is your relationship now?" Fang Mo asked.
"I think he must be interested in me..." Zou Shun twitched.
"I also think," Fang Mo thought deeply, "I can't just want to vent my father's love, right?"
Zou Shun frowned: "He's not that old either."
"Then does he know what you think?"
"I should know a little bit," Zou Shun thought for a while, "Should I be more obvious?"
Fang Mo encouraged him: "Try and see how he reacts."
It's a pity that until the summer vacation came, I didn't find a chance.
As the end of the term approaches, time becomes tense and there is not much free time to go to work.He Chengyi was busy with the decoration of several stores again.Even if we met in the store, we didn't have many chances to talk.
Fortunately, they have already exchanged contact information, and they will send some messages from time to time on weekdays, and occasionally make a phone call.
Zou Shun used to hate flirting with others the most, and felt that it was a waste of time and no fun at all, but now he is addicted to it and can't think of it anymore.
He joyfully shared all the trivialities in life with He Chengyi.
It's so hot today, the lettuce in the cafeteria is so salty and not as delicious as the one you made last time, there was a typo printed on the test paper, the school supermarket bought delicious soda water, and there is a growth on the chin It hurts to shut up and laugh , You see, this is the cactus planted in our dormitory next door, and it has bloomed.
He Chengyi usually replied quickly.
He told him not to drink too much cold stuff at once in hot weather, remember to eat even if he has no appetite, don't stay up late for review, pay attention to rest, and be careful not to prick his hands.
Zou Shun showed it to Fang Mo, and Fang Mo said, just like my mother.
Zou Shun asked again, does he seem to like me?
Fang Mo poured cold water on him.He said, I suspect that this person is using you because he sees that his peers are all married and have children, and his paternal love has nowhere to vent.
Zou Shun defaulted that Fang Mo was joking.
No matter how you look at it, he and He Chengyi are only one layer away from the window paper.He wanted to take the initiative to pierce, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.If you care too much, you will become timid.
At least for now I'm happy.If the confession is rejected, it may never come back.Zou Shun was reluctant to take this step.
After the holiday, he went to live with his grandpa for a month and a half.Due to jet lag, the contact with He Chengyi became intermittent.Outgoing messages often take a long time to receive a response.
Panic every day.
In the end, he made an unfilial decision, changed his ticket and returned home early.
Since falling out with his parents, he has no home in the city.In my junior year, I changed campuses, and the dormitory could not live in for the time being.Fortunately, I have plenty of money, so I can stay in a hotel without feeling distressed.
Zou Shun fell asleep after landing, and woke up in the middle of the night pretending that he was still jet-lagged, and sent a message to He Chengyi, asking if he would go to the store today.
The coffee shop is being renovated, and he has to go to see it from time to time.
Got an affirmative answer the next morning.Zou Shun tidied himself up and rushed to see him excitedly.
When he arrived, He Chengyi was standing near the door chatting with the store manager.
The interior furnishings of the store have changed a lot, but Zou Shun didn't feel any surprise at first glance.During this period of time, He Chengyi took pictures from time to time to show him the progress, it was completely transparent and not fresh.
"Xiao Zou, why are you here?" The store manager was very surprised, "I heard that you..."
"I'm back!" Zou Shun jumped over with a smile, his eyes always on He Chengyi's face, "I'm passing by, let's see you."
I haven't seen him for nearly two months, but He Chengyi hardly changed.It was still the same as he was familiar with.The same is not new, but it is delightful.
He Chengyi also looked at him, but didn't speak.His expression was a little surprised at first, but he kept laughing afterwards.
The store manager is very enthusiastic, pulling Zou Shun to chatter endlessly.He Chengyi stood aside for 5 minutes, and finally couldn't help but ask her to go to the kitchen to see the progress of the workers.
There were only two people left alone, Zou Shun raised his face and smiled at him.
"I wanted to come pick you up." He Chengyi said.
"Are you surprised?" Zou Shun snorted.
He Chengyi nodded, and then asked him: "Is there a place to live?"
"Yes," Zou Shun said, "it's quite close to your home."
"Dining together tonight?" He Chengyi asked.
Zou Shun nodded immediately.
"But the family is not prepared." He Chengyi said again.
"Then find a random place," Zou Shun said excitedly, "May I invite you?"
Before He Chengyi could speak, the store manager's voice came from not far away.
"It's resting inside," the store manager walked over with a smile on his face. "Work won't start until 01:30, and there are still 10 minutes left."
Then she took Zou Shun to chat again.
Zou Shunji glanced secretly at He Chengyi from time to time, and found that He Chengyi was also looking at him, with helplessness written all over his face.
The scene was embarrassing, but Zou Shun felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He wondered if this was flirting under the noses of others.The tacit little secret between him and He Chengyi is so delightful.
"That's right, that's right," the store manager said as he suddenly remembered something, and looked back at He Chengyi, "Xiao Zou came over suddenly, and I forgot halfway through what I said. Is the one Xiao Wu saw last time the proprietress? "
The voice fell, no one answered, and there was silence.
He Chengyi looked at Zou Shun again.
"... What lady boss?" Zou Shun asked dully.
"No," He Chengyi shook his head, "That's..."
He hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to describe it for a while.
"It's in such a high-end place, and there are two of you alone," the store manager smiled, "What is it if it's not a date? Xiao Wu said your girlfriend is pretty, when will you bring it to us?"
Zou Shun's mind was buzzing: "Girlfriend?"
"Just getting to know each other," He Chengyi said, "not a girlfriend."
"Blind date?" the store manager asked.
He Chengyi was obviously embarrassed: "...well."
The store manager was in high spirits and wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted. "
"By the way, go and tell them, I still plan to put back the shelf in the lounge," He Chengyi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "Also, before starting work, check the materials again to see if they are still missing. "
The store manager didn't know what to do, and walked away resentfully.
There were only two people left at the scene.
"It's good," Zou Shun said, "Do you have any photos?"
He Chengyi looked at him, shook his head: "No."
"How beautiful is it?" Zou Shun asked again.
"My family forced me to go," He Chengyi replied irrelevantly, "It's just a formality. Some of the photos have already been deleted."
Zou Shun's tense heart finally relaxed a little.
Knowing that there would be no follow-up, he was confident, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
"That's a pity, isn't it beautiful?"
What he said was somewhat coquettish.He wanted to hear what He Chengyi said, no matter how beautiful he was, he didn't like it, because he already had his own.
He needs a little hint, a little affirmation, so that he has the courage to cross that hurdle without hesitation.
But He Chengyi just smiled and didn't speak.
Zou Shun held the bowl, distracted.He was happy, but also anxious.After eating, they rest for a while, chat, should they just take a shower and go to bed?
He thought it was bad before he came, but now he looks forward to it again.
